Another difference with axle oriented training is that they’re typically fixed and the collars don’t rotate. This means that unlike a standard bar that will allow the weights to spin freely on the collar while the bar itself doesn’t rotate, an axle will want to rotate whichever way the weight is rolling.

Portman has established herself behind the camera, too—writing and directing her first feature, A Tale of Love and Darkness, based on the memoir by Amos Oz, in 2016. Her longtime preoccupations were evident from Portman’s first film, when she was 12 years old, playing Mathilda, the clever assassin protégé, in Luc Besson’s Léon: The Professional.

Abstract: A transmit power control rule for device-to-device (D2D) transmissions may not be necessary during periods in which no uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received by an enhanced Node B base station (eNB). When uplink transmissions are not scheduled to be received by the eNB, the eNB may send a transmit power control (TPC) command to a D2D capable user equipment (D2D UE) that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a pre-defined transmit power level (e.g., maximum transmit power level). When uplink transmissions are scheduled to be received the eNB, the eNB may send a TPC command to the D2D UE that instructs the D2D UE to perform a D2D transmission at a transmit power level defined by a power control rule.

During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company continued to see a reduction of sales as a result of reduced demand from the oil and gas sector due to low commodity prices. The Company identified these factors as indicative of possible impairment, in which the fair value of the Company’s indefinite lived intangible assets may be less than their carrying amount. As a result, the Company performed a quantitative impairment analysis estimating the fair value of the trademarks using the relief from royalty method. The relief from royalty method determines a value by quantifying the cost savings derived from owning the asset instead of paying royalty fees for licensing the asset from a third party. This method calculates the royalty savings by multiplying the expected asset specific revenues by an estimated royalty rate that the company is “relieved” from paying had the trademark been licensed from a third party. The royalty savings are then tax-affected and the net savings are discounted back to the present value using the relevant discount rate. Key assumptions within the impairment analysis were based on unobservable inputs (Level 3) such as estimates of future revenues attributable to each trade name, a long term growth rate of 2.3%, a weighted average royalty rate for all the trademarks of 0.1%, and a discount rate of 13.4%. As a result of the analysis performed, the fair value of trademarks totaled $8.9 million, which exceeded the carrying value. No impairment was required for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Portman’s work with Time’s Up has brought her to the molten core of a world she’d come to view as isolating.
