Verb phrases contain a verb as their central element.
However, sentences that include a modal verb (such as
can, may might etc) can also be considered a verb phrase,
since the modal verb will change the meaning and tone of
the main verb. It is important to note that modal verbs is
the only exception to verb phrases without a verb as its
central element.
Goods in transit refers to merchandise and other inventory items that have been shipped by the seller, but have ..I.. been received by the purchaser. To illustrate goods in transit, let's use the following example. Company J ships a truckload of merchandise on December 30 to Customer K, which is located 2,000 miles away. The truckload of merchandise arrives at Customer K on January 2. Between December 30 and January 2, the truckload of merchandise is goods in transit. The goods in transit requires special attention if the companies issue financial statements as of December 31. The reason is that the merchandise is the inventory of one of the two companies. However, the merchandise is not physically present at either company. One of the two companies must add the cost of the goods in transit to the cost of the inventory that it has in its possession.
The terms of the sale will indicate which company should report the goods in transit as its inventory as of December 31. If the terms are FOB shipping point, the seller (Company J) will record a December sale and receivable, and ..II.. include the goods in transit as its inventory. On December 31, Customer K is the owner of the goods in transit and will need to report a purchase, a payable, and must add the cost of the goods in transit to the cost of the inventory which is in its possession.
If the terms of the sale are FOB destination, Company J will not have a sale and receivable until January 2. This means Company J must report the cost of the goods in transit in its inventory on December 31. (Customer K will not have a purchase, payable, or inventory of these goods until January 2.)

CARB LOAD You CAN eat your favourite carbs and
still lose weight − thanks to clever hack
(1º§) CRAVING carbs but worried they won't help you hit
your weight loss goals? Well, think again - pasta and
potatoes don't have to be off the menu, especially thanks
to one nifty trick. It all comes down to how you serve and
eat them. Instead of piping hot pasta and steaming
potatoes, consider letting your carbs cool right down
before you eat them. Why? Because cold carbs have a
lower glycaemic index.
(2º§) Personal trainer Nick Mitchell, the founder of
Ultimate Performance, says: "Foods with a lower
glycaemic index can help you lose weight because they
make you feel full for longer. "They can also stop the
sharp rise and fall of blood sugar levels that result in
hunger pangs, which can lead to raiding the cupboard,
binge eating and weight gain."
(3º§) Packing your lunch for work? Cook your carbs the
night before and eat them cold the next day. Cold pasta
or rice salad with lots of veggies, or cold potato salad with
creme fraiche rather than mayonnaise, and lots of herbs,
are ideal. Some carbs, including beans and potatoes, are
also a great source of resistant starch.
(4º§) This kind of starch resists digestion, and acts as a
fibre, offering lots of health benefits including providing
your gut with prebiotics (great for the good bacteria in
your gut). It's also thought it can help reduce
inflammation in the body and may help prevent
colon/bowel cancer and IBS. Plus, it can help you shed
weight too, by helping you feel fuller for longer. Handily,
you can boost the resistant starch in your carbs by eating
them cold, and this can help you avoid blood sugar
spikes too.
(5º§) Carbs often get criticised and sidelined as
inherently 'bad', but we really shouldn't demonise them -
or food in general. Registered dietitian Megan Hilbert,
explains that carbs are essential to our health and
wellbeing: "In fact, they are the most important source of
energy for our bodies." She says: "They provide fuel for
the nervous system, our organs, especially the brain, and
muscle tissue.
(6º§) "Carbs have gotten a bad rap over the years but
they are important for a ton of functions in the body, like
providing a quick source of energy for workouts, fuelling
the brain which accounts for 20 per cent of our energy
needs, and powering cells in the body to keep us going."
So do dodge chips where you can, but when it comes to
healthy whole carbs, like brown rice, wholegrains, oats
and beans, eat up!

What do police officers do?
By Emma Woolley
The primary responsibility of police officers is to protect the
public, or if commissioned, the person, group or organization
to which they are assigned. Through detecting and preventing
crime, police officers strive to maintain law and order in their
respective jurisdictions.
Most new police officers work in general duty in patrol
divisions, which provides a broad range of experiences
and assignments. General duty policing involves patrolling
assigned areas to enforce laws, protect public safety, and
arrest criminal suspects – either by car, foot, bicycle, or in
some cases, horse.
Police officers can also do some or all of the following:
Investigate accidents and crime scenes; secure evidence and
interview witnesses; testify in court; collect notes and reports;
provide emergency assistance to victims of natural disasters,
crime, and accidents; engage in crime prevention, safety, and
public information programs; participate in media relations;
and supervise and manage the work of other police officers.
Working as a police officer can be one of the most
diverse career experiences, as specializations ranging in the
hundreds are available. With a few years of service (usually
four or more), he or she can move into areas such as criminal
identification, drug investigations, sexual assault, fraud, major
case and/or crime management, surveillance, aircraft security,
explosives disposal, police dog services, and many more.
Police officers must be available for shift work at any time
of day and any day of the week, including holidays. Shifts
tend to be longer than the standard eight-hour office day.
Even though many regular police duties are routine in nature,
the job can also be dangerous, as well as physically and
emotionally stressful.

Anxiety Medication: Over Prescribed and
Causing Overdoses
According to a story on NBC New York, more and more patients are ending up in New York City hospitals having over dosed on Xanax. Xanax is in the benzodiaziepine family of drugs and it’s used to treat anxiety, nervousness, and panic attacks by decreasing brain activity.
Xanax Overdoses Way Up
NBC New York reports:
Between 2004 and 2009, New York City emergency room visits involving Xanax and other anti-anxiety prescription drugs known as benzodiazepines increased more than 50 percent. That’s up from 38 out of 100,000 New Yorkers in 2004 to 59 out of 100,000 New Yorkers.
It’s not the drug by itself that causes the overdoses, but used in combination with other drugs and alcohol, it creates a toxic cocktail which isn’t easily metabolized in the body.
The drug is habit forming and withdrawal symptoms can include sweating, shaking, difficulty falling asleep, difficulty concentrating, depression, and nervousness. Many fear that the drug is being over prescribed.
“I don’t believe they take the time with the patients to figure out what the problems are,” Cali Estes, a drug counselor said to NBC New York. “A doctor who is running short on time and nurses and probably isn’t paid as much as he or she used to be finds it easier to say, ‘OK, this person has a problem, here’s your script, have a nice day. Where’s my next patient?’”
Whitney Houston’s Death Tied to Xanax and Other Drugs
Whitney Houston’s recent death is raising questions as to this and other sedatives. Xanax is most often criticized by those in the psychiatric community because it only lasts 6 to 20 hours.
Forbes reports:
On the face of it, this seems like a great combination – you get a quick hit of anxiety relief and the drug leaves your system within a 24-hour period. But in practice what often happens is that because the drug acts so quickly and dissipates quickly, the patient begins taking more of it to maintain the effect. Two pills a day turns into four, which turns into six and so forth.
According to the CDC, prescription drug overdose is now the leading cause of accidental death in the U.S., topping automobile accidents for the first time in 30 years. Currently, Xanax is the 11th most widely prescribed drug in the nation.

Use the text below to answer the question
Japanese Emperor
A Japanese emperor has abdicated for the first time in more than 200 years. Emperor Akihito stepped down from the Chrysanthemum Throne on April 30 after 30 years of being the Japanese monarch. He made way for his son Crown Prince Naruhito to become the new emperor. Akihito decided to step down because of his health. At the age of 85, he has been visibly slowing down for the past few years. He has also had a couple of health scares. He believes his son is now better able to carry out the duties of emperor. Emperor Akihito will be remembered for using a personal touch to bring his people together after many national disasters. He continually visited people after earthquakes, tsunami and other tragedies.
The new Emperor Naruhito became the 126th emperor to ascend the throne of the world's oldest monarchy. Naruhito, 59, spent two years studying at Oxford University. His wife, the new Empress Masako, studied at Harvard University and worked as a diplomat. A traditional ceremony took place as part of the historic handover. In the ceremony, Naruhito received a sacred sword, a jewel and official seals that date back thousands of years. The ceremony took place in the middle of a ten-day Japanese holiday. The traditional Golden Week holiday was extended to allow people to celebrate the new emperor. Millions of Japanese were glued to their TVs and smartphones watching the historic event.
