If you’re a smaller practice, you may be wondering about the implications of mandatory sustainability assurance on your firm and your clients, and what the practical application of the new International Ethics Standards for Sustainability Assurance (IESSA) will look like. To help explain – the Chair of the International Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA) Taskforce that developed them, Mark Babington FCA (ICAEW), sat down with host Gillian Bowen when he was in Sydney in February, to explain what smaller firms should know about the value chain, the resources available to help accountants and the opportunities this journey toward sustainability assurance can present. Mark, who’s also the Executive Director of Regulatory Standards at the UK Financial Reporting Council, encouraged accountants to take up the opportunity to shape methodology and practice, in this important time of generational change.

As well as Seeds podcast www.theseeds.nz I work as a lawyer helping purpose driven organisations and so try to put out helpful content that may educate and this episode is one of those – all about Incorporated Societies and what is changing for them. This was hosted by Volunteering New Zealand and Hui E! Community Aotearoa and I spoke at this webinar that about 300 signed up for, alongside the following amazing contributors with different perspectives: - Katie Bruce of Hui E! Community Aotearoa - Michelle Kitney of Volunteering New Zealand | Tūao Aotearoa, - Alex Stainer and Michelle Lombaard from the External Reporting Board - Jay Casey from Inland Revenue NZ Content for incorporated societies mentioned is over here: https://www.parryfield.com/home/blogs/resources-for-the-incorporated-societies-act-2022/ Thanks Michelle and Katie for hosting! Description of the session: “Big changes have come into effect for Incorporated Societies and mean you have to take action by April 2026 to continue operating as an Incorporated Society. You will need to re-register by April 2026 and comply with new financial reporting requirements. There is a lot of information out there, and many of you will already have begun the re-registration process. We also know that it can be tricky to know what you need to do and when, and if this even applies to you. Hui E! and Volunteering New Zealand are bringing those in the know to you at this webinar to answer your questions. Katie and Michelle will be joined by Steven Moe (partner at Parry Field lawyers and 20 years experience in this area), XRB (the Crown Entity that set the financial reporting standards) and IRD. Come along if you are in a leadership or governance role in an Incorporated Society, or if you just want to find out more." For more content visit www.theseeds.nz
Accountants often have low profiles and their accounts seem merely to keep score on the games of capitalism, but they can sometimes shape capitalism itself - and maybe even the atmosphere. Bernard Hickey talks with Dr Amelia Sharman from the External Reporting Board. Typically an obscure setter of accounting standards nestled somewhere between the government and companies, she details how the XRB's new standards for emissions accounting might just change the world.

Each week BusinessDesk and the NZ Herald's Cooking the Books podcast tackles a different money problem. Today, it's how your KiwiSaver and investments will change under new climate rules. Hosted by Frances Cook. Environmental issues can have a major impact on a company's bottom line, and yet until now, it's often been seen as a nice-to-have consideration for investors. That's about to change. The government has put in new standards that require New Zealand companies to collect information on emissions and other climate related impacts, and give that information to investors along with their annual results. Even if you're not in New Zealand, this is significant for you, too. Other countries are considering similar changes. It's supposed to make it much harder for things like greenwashing to continue. The impacts could be seen in share prices, as the information is likely to change investor decisions, as well as filtering out to customers who might change their behaviour based on the new info. So basically, this change is likely to have an impact on company values around the world. For the latest podcast I talked to Dr Amelia Sharman, Director Sustainability Reporting for XRB. If you have a question about this podcast, or a question you'd like answered in the next one, come and talk to me about it.

X-ray luminosity function of high-mass X-ray binaries: Studying the signatures of different physical processes using detailed binary evolution calculations by Devina Misra et al. on Tuesday 13 September The ever-expanding observational sample of X-ray binaries (XRBs) makes them excellent laboratories for constraining binary evolution theory. Useful insights can be obtained by studying the effects of various physical assumptions on synthetic X-ray luminosity functions (XLFs) and comparing with observed XLFs. We focus on high-mass XRBs (HMXBs) and study the effects on the XLF of various, poorly-constrained assumptions regarding physical processes such as the common-envelope phase, the core-collapse, and wind-fed accretion. We use the new binary population synthesis code POSYDON and generate 96 synthetic XRB populations corresponding to different combinations of model assumptions. The generated XLFs are feature-rich, deviating from the commonly assumed single power law. We find a break in our synthetic XLF at luminosity $sim 10^{38}$erg/s, similarly to observed XLFs. However, we find also a general overabundance of XRBs (up to a factor of $sim$10 for certain model parameter combinations) driven primarily by XRBs with black hole accretors. Assumptions about the transient behavior of Be-XRBs, asymmetric supernova kicks, and common-envelope physics can significantly affect the shape and normalization of our synthetic XLFs. We find that less well-studied assumptions regarding the orbit circularization at the onset of Roche-lobe overflow and criteria for the formation of a wind-fed X-ray emitting accretion disk around black holes can also impact our synthetic XLFs and reduce the discrepancy with observations. Due to model uncertainties, our synthetic XLFs do not always agree well with observations. However, different combinations of model parameters leave distinct imprints on the shape of the synthetic XLFs and can reduce this deviation, revealing the importance of large-scale parameter studies and highlighting the power of XRBs in constraining binary evolution theory. arXiv: http://arxiv.org/abs/http://arxiv.org/abs/2209.05505v1

Wir haben keine Nobelpreise gewonnen, reden aber darüber. Denn es geht um die Erforschung schwarzer Löcher, was cool ist und deswegen besprochen werden muss. Danach erzählt Florian eine Geschichter über die Suche nach extragalaktischen Planeten. Und wir beantworten Fragen über das was im Zentrum von Galaxien ist, was zwischen Galaxien ist und wie das mit den Sternbildern und Sternzügen funktioniert.
Today, we’ll be learning all about the cryptocurrency project Nano (previously known as Raiblocks): the Nano network, the XRB token, and how it all works. We’ll delve into the unconventional and creative consensus mechanism behind Nano - a modified form of delegated proof-of-stake (DPoS), the usage of block-lattices and multiple blockchains, and directed acyclic graph (DAG), all of which combine to make Nano a formidable peer-to-peer payment solution that rivals Bitcoin. All of these technologies and concepts combined make Nano one of the fastest payment systems in existence - processing transactions at a fraction of a second - and incredibly secure…all while giving the user autonomy and control over their XRB tokens. For a Nano speed test, check out nanospeed.live. Special thanks to Nano community member and representative rockmsockmjesus for providing resources that made this episode possible. You can learn more about their project by visiting nanocenter.org.NOTE: The Nano community was kind enough to point out a few slip-ups that I want to clarify:At 5:30 I said that the only two parties needed to validate a transaction are the sender and receiver. For confirmation, the network still needs to vote on the block.At 13:30 I mention UDP. Note that Nano will be switching to TCP soon for better bandwidth throttling and other advantages.At 14:15 I used the OLD ticker, XRB. With the rebranding, the ticker has been changed to NANO.

They will be looking at moving them back to multi-trgt dot/rot Keep an eye on PTR, as these two classes need some re-work, not just number tuning; possibly some talent changes. Shadow priests being looked at too. Devs are being cautious to react. They are being a bit slower to see if meta will shift on its own as counter-comps are developed.

In this dissertation we study the properties of high-mass X-ray binaries (HMXBs) and hot inter-stellar medium in star-forming galaxies and their relation with the star formation rate (SFR), based on the data from Chandra, Spitzer, GALEX and 2MASS public archives. We constructed a large sample of galaxies for which we collected homogeneous sets of multiwavelength measurements in X-ray, ultraviolet (UV), far-infrared (FIR) and near-infrared (NIR) bands. The sample includes 45 star-forming galaxies in total, divided in two sub-samples: the primary sample, consisting of 29 nearby galaxies, having distance < 40 Mpc, so that Chandra can resolve their X-ray point-like source population; the high-SFR sample, including 16 more distant galaxies that allowed us to extend the dynamical range of SFRs by approximately two orders of magnitude. In this sample we detected 1057 compact X-ray sources, of which ~300 are expected to be background active galactic nuclei (AGN). The majority of remaining ~700 sources are young systems associated with star-formation in the host galaxy. Based on their high X-ray luminosities and analogy with the X-ray populations in the Milky Way and few other very nearby galaxies, we conclude that they are high-mass X-ray binaries, powered by accretion of matter from a massive donor star onto a compact object - a black hole or a neutron star. Such a large number of sources allowed us to perform the most detailed study of the population of HMXBs and its dependence on various properties of the host galaxy, as well as to obtain a very accurate calibration of the X-ray luminosity-SFR relation. The study of the population of HMXBs is based on their X-ray luminosity functions (XLF). To this end, we took a special care to minimize the contamination by LMXBs, background AGN and to control the incompleteness of the Chandra source lists. The shape of the HMXB luminosity function is similar in different galaxies with the power law indexes having rms=0.25 with respect to the average value of ~1.6. The XLF normalizations, on the contrary, show significantly larger dispersion with the rms=0.34 dex around the A-SFR law. Combining the data of all galaxies, which include ~700 X-ray sources, we produced the average XLF of high-mass X-ray binaries in nearby star-forming galaxies. Its statistical accuracy exceeds by far that achieved in any of the previous studies of the HMXB luminosity function. The HMXB XLF has a single power law shape in a broad luminosity range of logLx~35-40 and shows a moderately significant evidence for the high luminosity break or cut-off at logLx~40. We did not find any statistically significant features at the Eddington luminosity limits of neutron stars or a 10 Msun black hole. With the knowledge of the relation between the number of high-mass X-ray binaries and star formation rate of the host galaxy, we estimated that the fraction of compact objects that went through an X-ray active phase at least once in their lifetime, powered by accretion of matter from a massive donor star in a binary system is fx~0.2. This constrains the mass distribution of the secondary in massive binaries. For an independent mass distribution of the secondary, the power law index must be flatter than 0.3. In particular, an independent mass distribution of a Kroupa or Salpeter type is strongly excluded. Assuming that the masses of components in a binary are not independent, our results are consistent with the flat mass ratio distribution. For comparison, we obtained a similar estimate for the fraction of compact objects that become X-ray sources powered by accretion from a low-mass donor star in an LMXB. Based on the scaling-laws by Gilfanov (2004), the fraction of compact objects, X-ray active in LMXBs, is small, fx~1e-6, demonstrating that LMXBs are extremely rare objects. This result is in line with the conclusions of the binary population studies. The collective luminosity of high-mass X-ray binaries is a good tracer of the recent star formation activity in the host galaxy: L_XRB(0.5-8 keV)(erg/s) = 2.5 10^{39} SFR (Msun/yr) The rms of points around this relation is 0.4 dex. The observed dispersion is unlikely to be caused by any of the obvious contaminating factors such as CXB or LMXB sources and is likely to have a physical origin. In addition to the emission from XRB population, the X-ray emission from star-forming galaxies includes a hot diffuse gas component with a mean characteristic temperature of 2-3 10^{6} K. We show that its X-ray luminosity correlates with the star formation rate of the host galaxy. Finally we demonstrate that the total X-ray luminosity of a galaxy scales with the star formation rate: L_tot(0.5-8 keV)(erg/s) = 4.5 10^{39} SFR(Msun/yr) with a dispersion sigma = 0.32 dex. We obtained consistent scale factors for nearby galaxies from the resolved sample and galaxies from the high-SFR sample. Among the latter (eight out of 16) are Chandra Deep Field North galaxies, located at the red-shifts of z~0.2-1.3. This proves that the total X-ray luminosity of a galaxy is a powerful tool to measure the star formation rate in distant galaxies.

This dissertation presents the analysis of a large and deep XMM-Newton survey of the second large Local Group spiral galaxy M 31. The survey observations, taken between June 2006 and February 2008, together with re-analysed archival observations from June 2000 to July 2004 cover, for the first time, the whole D25 ellipse of M 31 with XMM-Newton down to a limiting luminosity of ~10^35 erg/s in the 0.2-4.5 keV band. The main goal of the thesis was a study of the different source populations of M 31 that can be observed in X-rays. Therefore a catalogue was created, which contains all 1948 sources detected in the 0.2-12.0 keV range. 961 of these sources were detected in X-rays for the first time. Source classification and identification was based on X-ray hardness ratios, spatial extent of the sources, and by cross correlating with catalogues in the X-ray, optical, infrared and radio wavelengths. An additional classification criterion was the long-term temporal variability of the sources in X-rays. This variability allows us to distinguish between X-ray binaries and active galactic nuclei. Furthermore, supernova remnant classifications of previous studies that did not use long-term variability as a classification criterion, could be validated. Including previous Chandra and ROSAT observations in the long-term variability study allowed me to detect additional transient or at least highly variable sources, which are good candidates for being X-ray binaries. Fourteen of the 40 supersoft source (SSS) candidates correlated with optical novae and therefore can be considered the supersoft emission of the optical novae. Among them is the first nova/SSS detected in a globular cluster of M 31. Correlations with previous ROSAT and Chandra studies revealed that only three SSSs are visible for at least one decade. This result underlines the strong long-term variability found for the class of SSSs. In addition the correlations demonstrated that strict selection criteria have to be applied to securely select SSSs. An investigation of the spatial distribution of the 25 supernova remnants (SNRs) and 37 SNR candidates showed that many of these sources are consistent with the location of the 10 kpc dust ring and other star forming regions in M 31. This connection between SNRs and star forming regions implies that most of the remnants are from type II supernovae. The brightest sources of M 31 belong to the class of X-ray binaries (XRBs). Ten low mass XRBs (LMXBs) and 26 LMXB candidates were identified based on their temporal variability. In addition 36 LMXBs and 17 LMXB candidates were identified due to correlations with globular clusters and globular cluster candidates. From the LMXBs located in globular clusters one is a black hole candidate and another a neutron star candidate. From optical and X-ray colour-colour diagrams, possible high mass XRB (HMXB) candidates were selected. Two of these candidates have an X-ray spectrum as is expected for an HMXB containing a neutron star primary. To investigate the logN-logS relations of sources in the field of M 31, a catalogue of sources detected in the 2.0-10.0 keV energy range was created. The slope of the logN-logS relation for the whole galaxy is consistent with the expectation for spiral galaxies (Colbert et al. 2004). Subtracting the background logN-logS relation, the region beyond the D25 ellipse still contains about 13 sources/deg^2 of M 31 with fluxes above the completeness limit of ~3.2x10^{-14} erg/cm^2/s (~2.3x10^36 erg/s at the distance of M 31). The radial dependence of the source distribution in M 31's disc can be well fitted with an exponential profile, for limiting fluxes of ~3.2x10^{-14} erg/cm^2/s and 10^{-13} erg/cm^2/s (~7.3x10^36 erg/s). About 60% of all sources with fluxes above 3.2x10^{-14} erg/cm^2/s are background sources. While the contribution of background sources lies at ~20% in the inner disc region, the fraction increases to >~80% in the outer areas of M 31. For the dust ring region, the slope of the logN-logS relation as well as the number of sources and their dependence on the star forming rate were consistent with the universal logN-logS relation predicted from theoretical considerations of HMXBs (Grimm et al. 2003). These findings propose that the dust ring region contains a population of HMXBs. A comparison of the number of X-ray binaries (XRBs) obtained from the logN-logS study to the ones listed in the source catalogue showed that many XRBs detected in the logN-logS study with fluxes between 10^{-13} erg/cm^2/s and 3.2x10^{-14} erg/cm^2/s, or (independent from the flux) those XRBs located in the inner disc of M 31, remain without XRB classification in the source catalogue. The results presented in this thesis gave us deeper insights in the properties of the population of X-ray sources in M 31. Nevertheless, about 65% of all sources detected in the field of M 31 can be classified as ``hard" sources only, i.e. it is not possible to decide whether these sources are X-ray binaries or Crab-like supernova remnants in M 31, or active galactic nuclei. Deeper observations in the X-ray and at other wavelengths are needed to classify these sources.
