The digital tax, which is expected to be enforced from Jan 1 next year, is not expected to affect foreign online services' bottom line as the customers are anticipated to remain loyal, while absorbing the minute additional cost.
Several users and subscribers told The Malaysian Reserve (TMR) that they would not discontinue the services and packages even if the full portion of the tax is passed to them.
Dubbed as a necessary evil, the 6% tax will be charged to foreign digital service providers with sales of more than RM500,000 a year beginning Jan 1, 2020, after Service Tax (Amendment) Act 2019 was passed in the Dewan Rakyat last Monday.
Various popular online service providers such as Spotify, Netflix Inc, Amazon.com Inc and Steam are likely to fall under the measure, and the tax is expected to contribute billions of ringgit to the government's fund.
Netflix and Spotify regular user Aizul Manan said the digital tax is similar to what has been imposed by other utilities and Internet services firms like private satellite television broadcaster Astro Malaysia Holdings Bhd.
"I think I will still continue to subscribe to both Spotify and Netflix despite the 6% increase in the subscription fee," the 33-year-old information technology engineer told TMR recently.
Currently, Aizul subscribes to premium packages on both Netflix and Spotify at RM14 and RM50 respectively.
Medical practitioner Dr Khairunnisa Kosnin, an avid Netflix subscriber, echoed Aizul's sentiment and said she would continue to enjoy the platforms, which are still deemed the cheapest in the country so far.
"I don't see any better option. So, most likely, I will continue to subscribe to Netflix," she said.
The digital tax is expected to provide a level playing field among local and foreign companies, as well as between online and offline service providers. Currently, only local providers are required to pay taxes.
While end users for certain services might not feel the pinch of the digital tax, it could be a different ball game for small and medium-scale entrepreneurs.
Gritz Aromatherapy Holdings Sdn Bhd MD and CEO Nur Fateha Basran said the digital tax could be translated into higher digital business infrastructure costs like the use of e-commerce platforms, including cloud services.
She added that the 6% charge would contribute a significant impact towards her material cost.
For her herbal-based aromatherapy business, Nur Fateha imports 30% of her raw materials, including essential oils and packaging items, via Chinese e-commerce giant Alibaba Group Holding Ltd.
"We have to be ready with the impact and expect the worst to absorb the extra charge. It is definitely more than a 5% increase.
"To sustain (the business), we will also have to cut down our operational cost and start to explore local services and materials, instead of importing," she said.
Yesterday, Deputy Finance Minister Amiruddin Hamzah called for the foreign digital service providers to register with the Royal Malaysian Customs Department, from Oct 1 to Dec 31 this year.
Meanwhile, Malaysian Associations of Tax Accountants president Datuk Abdul Aziz Abu Bakar said collecting the tax might be a little bit challenging for the government.
"It may be hard to identify companies that have an excess of RM500,000 in revenue in the country. The collection of data would be challenging.
"How would the authorities collect tax from these foreign firms? What if they do not comply? The enforcement mechanism needs to be addressed," he told TMR.
Abdul Aziz added that while the 6% charge is reasonable, as it is at the same level charged to local businesses, prices in the services sector will generally be increased upon the implementation of the digital tax.
The National ICT Association of Malaysia advisor Woon Tai Hai said most countries that implement a digital tax are facing collection mechanism issues.
"Getting foreign sellers to register may be easier said than done. The bigger issue, as experienced in other countries, is the collection mechanism of the platform. Automatic deduction from the credit is one of the proposed ideas," he said.
Woon added that the final cost of the products can be potentially higher, especially if an efficient mechanism for the registration and tax collection is not in place.
However, Woon said digital taxes are necessary — especially in developing countries.
"Other countries like Singapore, New Zealand, Australia, Taiwan, Norway, South Africa and Japan have already imposed such tax, or rulings on imported digital-related transactions," he said.
Singapore is also expected to impose the Goods and Services Tax (GST) in imported digital services by 2020.
In Malaysia, taxing the digital economy could bridge the shortfall of the scrapped GST, which contributed RM44 billion to the government's funds in 2017.
The Sales and Services Tax, which replaced the GST, is only forecast to add some RM22 billion into the government's coffers this year.
According to a Statistics Department survey, the country's e-commerce generated about RM398 billion of income in 2015.
Meanwhile, BMI Research stated that South-East Asia's online shopping market is set to generate an estimated RM257.94 billion in 2021, projecting a continuous uptrend in the upcoming years.
A Bloomberg report recently revealed that Malaysia's share of total online retail sales was at 2.7%, indicating a huge potential for development for business and consumers, as well as the government's revenue.

With Apple Watch in the market, would you consider buying Palm device instead?
Palm is the name of the device as well as the company that it belongs to, in a crude way it's a phone for your phone. There is no other way to describe this device. It is a teeny tiny device that comfortably fits in your palm connects to your Verizon device through its LTE+ and works as a phone.
Unfortunately, I was not able to distinguish its functionality with the currently present smartwatches such as the Apple Watch. During the launch event, when one of the representatives asked people who were calling it adorable and cute would you buy this product or an Apple Watch? You can guess their answer.
The purpose of this device is to restrict the average smartphone activity which is what Google and Apple have started to do with their new devices. It will act as a screen when you want to have some distance from your phone, as you can get all your important calls or text messages and typing messages on such a tiny display is an okayish experience.
However, it gets the job done in scenarios where you would want to stay as far away from your phone as possible. Now, it does not mean that the Plam can substitute your phone it is just an accessory that costs probably half the price of your phone.
Plam is not a phone, it works with your phone but as described above it cannot substitute your phone. You cannot watch videos play games or take fancy pictures from this, but when you want to go for a quick job or want some quiet time with your loved one, it does the job. The size is too small to enjoy videos but its enough for playing music, recording workouts or other less intensive in glance tasks. It is the latest brand alongside Blackberry or Nokia to hitch with the Android phones and iPhones. It resurrected the concept of personal assistants from the era that was before the release of the smartphones.
The specifications of the device are not surprising at all since it does not require much horsepower to run the apps that it is supposed to run. The 720p display has the pixel density of 445ppi and the screen space as described earlier is 3.3 inches. The camera too is a substantial one the rear camera is 12 Megapixels with flash while the front camera module contains an 8 Megapixel sensor.
It uses the Qualcomm's lower tier Snapdragon 435 processor augmented by 3GB RAM. The processor and the RAM are more than enough for such a device as no one would install heavy duty apps and games on it.
It also has a proprietary facial sensor which does not get the 3D image of the face, so it is not a reliable piece of hardware. Moreover, the device has no NFC, so if you are about to make payments, you would have to get your real phone out of your picket. The device only has one power button that serves the purposes of any power button. There's a USB C to charge the device or connect it to any other device. Lastly, the device is IP68 rating so you can take a shower with it and it would work fine.
How does it connect to your phone?
The palm has an LTE connection but uses Verizon's wireless services to work, the Verzion's call forwarding services help it to get calls and texts. If anyone calls or texts you both devices will ring simultaneously and during my testing, there was little to no latency.
Since it is an Android device, you can get a lot out of it, it works with the iPhone too but the experience will not be as rigid as it is on an Android device. However, it works with Apple music because the app is on Playstore. You cannot use iMessage or any default messaging app on your phone as it only takes the messages from the message+ app from Verizon. You may have to disable your default messaging app to get it to work.
The Palm rocks a 3.3-inch Gorilla Glass 3 screen that uses OLED technology and has a resolution of 720p which is enough to keep things sharp. The UI is completely unique, the icons of the apps are floating around on the display, and they look like small clusters of grape. The UI is colorful, and it is perfectly apt for such a small display.
You can download almost all apps from the Google Play store since it is an Android device, but some apps and games won't work or at least playing games would be very hard due to the display. Setting up the phone is also a hard task due to messy typing even for a person who has small fingers, though the setup was brief.
Now, palm assumes that most of the typing on this would be done by voice commands so they have particularly worked hard to make voice typing a good experience. During my time with it, the autocorrect also worked fine. However, typing on the keyboard was the worst experience.
The tiny device only has 800mAH battery which if you think is way less than enough. To cope with such a tiny battery, they have a battery saver mode called mode life mode. It basically restricts the processes that your device is doing and only allows a handful of programs to run. It only allows the apps that you want to run and all else is stopped. For example, when you are working out, you may want it to run the fitness tracker and music app. It suppresses all other apps and stretches the life of even a small 800mAH cell.
To conclude Palm is a strange device, with nothing innovate to be very honest. It does the same tasks that your smartwatch or even your smartphone does nowadays. The only important thing is that it resembles your phone which does not make it better than you regular smart wristband or a wristwatch.
Also, spending almost half of the price of your original smartphone on this device would not one of the best ideas. Lastly, it only works with Verizon services, for the time being, however, the company is eager to make it available on every other carrier too.

Al-Shabab shoots dead senior national security officer in Somalia
Mogadishu(ANN)-Militants from the al-Shabab group have shot dead a senior national intelligence officer in front of his house in the capital Mogadishu, officials say.
Ibrahim Nur, a police officer, said that the security officer had been sitting in front of his house without his body guards on Thursday when armed militants shot him to death.
The officer added that the assailants had managed to flee the scene before security forces arrived.
"Police and security forces reached the scene later to investigate and pursue the militants. It is difficult to prevent death — the officer had no guards with him when he was killed," Nur said.
The deceased officer had been involved in conducting security operations against the militant group across the long-chaotic Horn of Africa nation.
"We are behind the killing of the national security general called Mohamud Haji Ali," Abdiasis Abu Musab, al Shabab's military operation spokesman, said.
Al-Shabab has stepped up its deadly bombings in Mogadishu since the new president took office in February.
Earlier this month, al-Shabab carried out a car bomb attack against senior officials leaving a military base in Mogadishu, killing at least 15 people.
On April 6, President Mohamed Abdullahi Mohamed declared war on al-Shabab but at the same time offered the militants an amnesty.
He said that the militants who gave up their arms within 60 days would receive jobs and education.
Somalia has been the scene of deadly clashes between government forces and al-Shabab militants since 2006.
The Al-shabab group was forced out of the capital by African Union troops in 2011 but still controls parts of the countryside and carries out attacks against government, military and civilian targets.
The group is just one of the challenges facing the new Somali government, which is still struggling to expand its authority beyond the capital.

The Facebook execs who turn to Twitter for publisher charm offensive
February 1, 2018 by Lucia Moses
Oddly enough, Twitter has become the go-to forum for Facebook execs as the platform battles pushback over algorithm changes, spammy ads and the spread of misinformation. It's a shift for Facebook, which, like other tech companies, has been known for having a tightly controlled PR strategy. It's also an acknowledgment that Twitter is beloved by one of its core constituents, journalists, and is a more effective way to respond to critics in real time than Facebook itself.
In recent weeks, Facebook execs have used Twitter to promote changes to its news feed and ad policies, argue with its critics and take jabs at rival platforms. Facebook's public relations team is aware of the execs' tweeting but isn't coordinating it; the loosened approach does go hand-in-hand with the company's sending people in operational roles out to meet with publishers to improve relations with media companies as part of the Facebook Journalism Project.
Facebook product vp Adam Mosseri, whose core responsibility is the news feed, has been active on the platform, where he has 21,000 followers, to handle reaction to Facebook's January announcements that it would reduce the amount of news people see in their feeds.
Rob Leathern, a Facebook product director brought on in 2017 to improve trust in Facebook's business products, used Twitter, where he has 11,000 followers, to promote Facebook's new ads policy. At other times, Leathern, a longtime online ad expert and founder of Optimal.com, a consumer-paid ad-blocking service, has called out online scam artists and other scourges of digital media.
Leathern seems to understand that Facebook's policies won't necessarily work perfectly, and he cheerfully offered to answer questions about the ads policy as the company starts enforcing it.
Other Facebook execs are less diplomatic on Twitter.
Andrew "Boz" Bosworth, vp of augmented reality and virtual reality at Facebook (6,000 Twitter followers), has defended Facebook's actions during the 2016 U.S. election on Twitter but has lately used his account to promote Facebook products and take jabs at journalists and critics over whether Facebook sells user data to advertisers.
That's also wrong. Our ads preferences and "why am I seeing this ad?" Are way beyond the letter of the law. You are being so disingenuous on this thread bro.
— Boz (@boztank) January 21, 2018
Facebook security chief Alex Stamos (27,000 Twitter followers) made news last October for his multipart tweetstorm defending Facebook against criticism of its efforts to deal with the spread of misinformation on the platform.
I appreciate Quinta's work (especially on Rational Security) but this thread demonstrates a real gap between academics/journalists and SV. https://t.co/CWulZrFaso
— Alex Stamos (@alexstamos) October 7, 2017
In November, he sparred with reporters over user safety on Facebook.
Hi, Jake. Before you pass judgment, you might be interested in reading this thread correcting some of the initial reporting. Please pay attention to the statements by the experts in this abuse and victim advocates we are working with. https://t.co/VSIC0hA5c8
— Alex Stamos (@alexstamos) November 12, 2017
In January, he came out swinging again, defending the tech elite from the media stereotype of them as arrogant, flagrant-spending bros.
The recent media push to paint the denizens of SV as Alien Overlords to the rest of the country has been effective, but it's just not accurate. This service, the routers/switches carrying this tweet, the phone/OS you are holding were likely designed by boring suburbanites. https://t.co/tVrsOHvzby
— Alex Stamos (@alexstamos) January 9, 2018
Another staunch defender of the Facebook cause is Rob Goldman, vp of ads (1,500 followers).
Fb just named the best place to work by glassdoor. Proud to work at a place that lives its mission: Building community and bringing people closer together. https://t.co/4rbLyeFbjN
— Rob Goldman (@robjective) December 6, 2017
When Goldman isn't promoting Facebook's products, he uses his account to take shots at Apple, Snapchat and Twitter over various privacy, age-targeting and mobile payment issues. Hey, no one accused Twitter of being a place for diplomacy and nuance.
https://twitter.com/robjective/status/951150996427702274
The Twitter action is generally going over well with critics, though, many of whom have seen the company as remote and uncommunicative.
"I think it's a great trend when tech execs in general make themselves more available, especially when it's across a variety of platforms outside of just their own product," said Hunter Walk, a former Google and YouTube exec who now runs venture capital firm Homebrew. "Be human, be accessible. Listen, in addition to talk. It goes a long way toward helping those outside of these companies realize that real flesh-and-blood people with good intentions are behind the decisions and products we critique."
Any effort by Facebook to communicate with the outside world is good, and Leathern strikes a good tone, but time will tell if it leads to any action, said the person behind the anonymous Twitter account Sleeping Giants, which calls out advertising on racist and sexist websites.
"We have been asking Facebook for a year why they continue to serve their customers' ads on Breitbart despite clear breaches of their community standards, and we have gotten no answers," this person said. "On top of it, many of their customers who have already blocked that particular site end up showing up again, which is infuriating for them. Facebook has been lousy at communicating their plans, so we're obviously hopeful that Rob, though social media channels, can start to be more responsive. It's going to take a lot more than a few people on social media to change things over there, though, we suspect."
We asked Leathern (via Twitter, of course) to respond; he referred the question to Facebook PR, which sent over this statement from its Audience Network team: "Advertisers who participate in Audience Network have control over where their ads appear. If they don't want their ads to appear on a specific site or app, that's their choice and they can block them. And not all disagreeable or unpopular speech violates our Community Standards or Audience Network policies. We review all publishers on the Audience Network both proactively when they sign up and reactively as they run ads through the Audience Network to make sure they are not in violation."

Kaufman: What's on the line for USWNT as it faces first big test in World Cup play against Sweden
By Michelle KaufmanMiami Herald (TNS)
A few things we know for sure about the U.S. Women's World Cup team after two games: Scoring has not been a problem (16 goals by eight different players so far), and there is no better collection of talent in the tournament.
The only question remaining is just how good is this team?
My hunch is really, really good, as in cruise-to-the-trophy good. But we will have a much better idea by Thursday night. It's hard to judge a team _ especially its back line and a new goalkeeper _ when it beats Thailand 13-0 and Chile 3-0. Through two games, U.S. players have outshot opponents 65-3 and lead 25-1 on corner kicks.
Consider U.S. coach Jill Ellis started seven backups against Chile and the game would have been more lopsided were it not for the jaw-dropping performance of Chilean goalkeeper Christiane Endler.
The first real test for the Americans will come at 3 p.m. ET Thursday against Sweden, a veteran team that played the United States to a scoreless tie in the 2015 World Cup and booted the Americans out of the 2016 Rio Olympics. Although both teams are already safely into the knockout round, they will battle for first place in Group F.
The winner of the group faces Spain in the Round of 16 and then could face host France in the quarterfinals and No. 3-ranked England in the semis. The runner-up gets Canada or Netherlands in the Round of 16 and probably a weaker-than-usual German team in the quarters.
But don't think for a minute that Ellis is plotting to hold back and lose in an effort to get what appears on paper to be an easier path to the final. No, siree! Asking these American women to take their feet off the gas is like asking a French chef to serve canned soup. Not a chance.
"We want to win every game, so I think that's where we're at and that's what we want to do," Ellis said. "I think if you get too much into manipulating or planning or overthinking something, I just don't think that that's a good message."
Besides, the Americans have a three-year-old score to settle with the Swedes, who knocked them out of the 2016 Rio Olympics in the quarterfinals, the earliest U.S. exit ever from a major tournament. In that game Sweden, under the direction of former U.S. coach Pia Sundhage, packed the back on defense ("parked the bus" in soccer parlance) and advanced on penalty kicks after a 1-1 regulation tie.
Then-U.S. goalkeeper Hope Solo said afterward: "We played a bunch of cowards. The best team did not win. I strongly, firmly believe that.
"Sweden dropped back. They didn't want open play. They didn't want to pass the ball around. They didn't want to play great soccer, entertaining soccer ... I think it was very cowardly. But they won, they're moving on. And we're going home."
Solo is no longer on the U.S. team but her sharp words surely have not been forgotten in the Sweden locker room.
Ellis said she changed the team's strategy after that Olympic loss to Sweden, creating more ways to get the attack going. It seems to be working.
Even a parked bus would have a hard time blocking Alex Morgan, Megan Rapinoe, Tobin Heath, Carli Lloyd, Samantha Mewis, Lindsey Horan, Christen Press, Rose Lavelle, and Mallory Pugh. The United States has so many scoring threats that Lloyd, who scored twice against Chile, began the tournament on the bench. Whether Lloyd starts against Sweden remains to be seen.
No matter which 11 starters Ellis chooses, I believe they will win.

1934 hotel adverts from the ABC railway guide
Posted	on	 14 October, 2014 by	Helen Barrell
In researching my novel, which is set in the mid-1930s, I needed to do some research into train journey times. As any good Agatha Christie fan will know, the ABC railway guide was just what I needed, and I managed to get hold of a very exhausted one for April 1934 (Christie's novel, The A. B. C. Murders, was published in January 1936). The ABC was first published in 1853, and was very much London-centric. So you can find out the 9.19am train from Wivenhoe arrived at London Liverpool Street at 10.36am (and operated on Mondays only) but if you want the times of trains from Wivenhoe to Colchester… well… this guide isn't going to tell you.
The front of the book, before the timetables, is filled with hotel adverts. Starting with London, they are then alphabetical by the name of the town or city, and include the Channel Islands.
Most of the adverts (and there are hundreds!) are not very interesting – it's incredible how similar hotel frontages at the time were. The ad will consist of an exterior photo or line-drawing of the hotel, very standard font and blurb about the hotel – such as the adverts for The Royal Esplanade, Seaford and Ryde Castle Hotels in Ryde on the Isle of Wight. Rustington I have included here for looking like Mr. Rochester's house in "Jane Eyre", with its crenellations.
However, the bulk of the adverts in this gallery (follow the link to Flickr or see the slideshow below) are in fact not representational, and have been included here because they are rather interesting.
Beaumont Hall Hotel in Clacton on Sea goes for an aerial view.
The Beach Hotel and Percival's Hotel in Worthing are very unusual for showing an interior photo of a room, rather than showing the exterior.
The Bay Hotel in Falmouth doesn't bother with any photos at all and goes for a vibrant font.
Tollyard Royal Hotel focusses on its special suntan glass and uses a photo of a woman in swimwear.
Branksome Tower Hotel in Bournemouth emphasises its evening entertaining with a fantastic "jazz age" drawing (which looks uncannily reminiscent of the Jeeves & Wooster opening titles sequence).
The others show fabulous art deco design – the stylised drawing of the Suncliff and the Albemarle, angular lines – Cranleigh Court, the Metropole, the Grand Hotel the Atlantic (which I'm sure was in an episode of a David Suchet Poirot). Hawthornes uses representative graphics to show a chef, a woman playing tennis, people dancing….. The Minnis Bay Hotel even reminds us of what life was like for the graphic designer who had to work without computers and do everything by hand.
It's intriguing to see what was considered a draw for guests – hotel rooms with both hot and cold water, a gas or an electric fire, heating, electric lighting (in the 1930s, many people still used coal fires and gas lights were still within living memory), lifts (mainly specifying that they are indeed electric lifts), and a huge amount of car-parking. It's interesting that car-parks and garaging are mentioned in a railway timetable book, but it suggests that the people using this drove too, or that it was an aspirational status symbol – you might not have a car yourself, but you could stay at a hotel with people who did, which was clearly posh. And notice how many cars appear in the adverts themselves. There are optional extras – tennis and croquet, dancing, bowling greens, billiards, 'wireless concerts'… (presumably this hotel came with its own radio: what a modern marvel!).
The other adverts in the book are in the main not graphical – Barclays Bank and Norwich Union, and a very unglamorous advert for W. H. Bailey & Sons' trusses and abdominal belts, which tells us, I think, that it was men (London commuters, one imagines) who usually bought the ABC and got most use out of it.
But like all "old things", all surviving artefacts from that "foreign country" (as L. P. Hartley said), it's a fascinating window into the past.

Black History Month – some finds in Wivenhoe's register


Anna Barie hasn't been sitting down since disbanding of her previous project, the glorious ghost-noise group These Are Powers. After relocating to Lyon, France, she's formed the duo of Dubai. Like her former TAP bandmate Brenmar, she's found a new sound to communicate with: one of hazy, ritualistic drones and beautiful chants.
1. Is any aspect of fame important and if yes, why's that?
Communicating to a lot of people is a big responsibility.
Buffy. Because of teenage lesbians and it's one of Johanne's nicknames.
John Cage, Michael Jackson, Stanley Kubrick.
6. Write a non-promotional paragraph.
There was once a tiny man who had one hair.
He wanted a part in the middle but he only had one hair.
There was once a tiny man who had one tooth.
He wanted to eat little children but he had only one tooth.
Bear In Heaven's 'The Reflection of You'. We just played with them in Lyon and they are a super solid band with integrity and a sense of humor.
Yes. Johanne's mother is an energy healer and Anna's mom would throw pennies at funeral processions so the dead would have money to make it to the next place.
Especially now that France has its first Black president. Just kidding, but he is a Socialist.

Australian businesses can't find qualified people to fill cyber security roles, leaving them vulnerable to the growing threat of cyber criminals.
Beijing has warned Australia not to take a "discriminatory approach" toward Chinese companies, saying it would undermine its ability to benefit from international trade and cooperation.
Asia is already at the doorstep of the next big disruption. But global concerns over cyber security and regulation mean the digital frontier could be where globalisation ends.
Huawei Australia chairman John Lord said the ban on the company from 5G networks was a "nationalistic" move based on exaggerated security concerns.
Finnish telco giant Nokia, the world's third biggest 5G equipment vendor, is preparing for an explosion in demand following the Huawei ban.
Britain's cyber security agency says it's doing a good job in spotting vulnerabilities in Huawei equipment, but the company isn't doing enough to fix them.
From the basement of Defence headquarters in Canberra, cyber warfare operatives destroyed the ability of ISIS to communicate in Iraq.

Exclusive: Perfect Pitch by GL Tomas Cover Reveal
By: Silvana Reyes
When I heard dynamic twin duo GL Tomas were going to be publishing a new sports romance, I was beyond excited. You should all read their backlist; there is something for every reader. Fantasy, vampires, YA, cowboys, you name it, they have it. I swear we GL Tomas fans are just waiting for the next book to publish to read immediately.
I'm happy to be revealing this beautiful cover with you. We also have a little behind-the-scenes take from the authors about the inspiration behind this novel.
About Perfect Pitch, out April 24, 2021:
Make the perfect pitch! That was Victoria "Toya" Banegas's mission statement.
Adopting that mantra won her the attention of the largest sports PR firm in the country. Toya only had one task standing in her way of becoming a partner, but she was used to facing tough challenges.
Until that obstacle became a herculean, dimpled Boricua and his wacky ass family with a penchant for scandalous antics.
Kelly "K-Rod" Rodriguez has always had it all. Incredible talent, muscles worthy of a magazine spread and just enough book smarts to balance out his street. After suffering the loss of a World Series and gaining a life-altering injury, the aging Major League shortstop has two strikes against him. Now the only woman capable of spinning this disaster is the one who made it clear to him that their past hookup was just that—a hookup.
When the tabloids misconstrue the nature of their relationship over a heated viral dispute, there's only one way to find themselves out of it. To fake a relationship.
Kelly regrets the decision he made years ago choosing his career over a relationship with the bombshell publicist but now that they're thrown back into each other's arms, he'll do whatever it takes to hit a home run.
Behind-the-scenes: GL Tomas share with us their inspiration behind their upcoming romance story
It's safe to say the state of Afro-Latinx representation could use amplifying. While the conversation around Afro-latinidad is growing (conversation starters like Zahira/Bad Dominicana and Amara La Negra definitely made it more well known through the power of social media), in fiction, we are nowhere where we need to be.
That isn't to say it's not there. There have been some really strong authors (Ibi Zoboi and Elizabeth Acevedo in YA; Zaida Polanco and Nadine Gonzalez in romance to name a few) highlighting what it's like to be a Black person in a Latinx space, it often feels like Afro-Latinx has become a buzzword. An identity with no substance.
It's getting better, but it's not uncommon for many to pick up a book celebrated for its inclusion of Afro-Latinx narratives, but show very few examples of examining those characters's Blackness and how it's an identity all on it's own.
Perfect Pitch has always been our dream story to tell. While not all our identities make the page, some of the challenges writing Toya Banegas' narrative–the heroine–was showcasing the uniqueness in her Afro-Panamanian heritage.
There are many light and fun things about Perfect Pitch that help push this romantic comedy through. It's a Sports Romance. It's fake relationship. It's second chance and while it's not the only one of its kind, it highlights some of the unique struggles of what it's like to be Black in a Latinx space, juggling about as many tropes as Toya's identities.
Toya Banegas is a Black Panamanian, while her cinnamon roll hero is a white-presenting man of Puerto-Rican descent. To many that appears to be a Latinx couple, but there are a handful of intersections to their union not often highlighted with a very dark skinned Black woman and a white presenting man with cultures that share a number of similarities.
Much like the both of us, Toya's Latinx identity gets called into question (due to her West Indian grandparents), while in African-American spaces, her Blackness is questioned. We can't count the handful of times our Latinx co-workers often dismiss our Latinx identity because our skin color confuses them, whilst our non-Latinx Black co-workers are often shocked at the some of the major differences Black people in Latinx spaces are forced to exist to survive it.
We've gotten sprinkles of it in some great content like On My Block (amazing show), Don't Let Me Drown (great movie) and nearly every single Elizabeth Acevedo book (read all her books; even just the ones she narrates). But seldom have we felt brave enough to showcase it in our own work, as it's scary to admit the beauty and ugly of being a Black Latinx woman.
It's not all struggle. Perfect Pitch allows a man unlearning past behavior to become a sweet, hilarious at times, courageous hero. With a heroine like Toya, who is healing from past trauma, watching her balance her career and love is something most people can relate to. Though, this story couldn't be told without her unique experience. And we can't wait for Romancelandia to see it!
G.L. Tomas is a USA Today bestselling twin writing duo and lover of all things blerdy, fearless and fun. When they're not spending their time crafting swoon-worthy heroes, they're battling alien forces in other worlds but occasionally take days off in search mom and pop spots that make amazing pasteles and tostones fried to perfection.
They host salsa lessons and book boyfriend auditions in their secret headquarters located in Connecticut.

When you become the primary caregiver for an aging loved one, you frequently need to take on their finances, too.
In a recent Merrill Lynch/Age Wave study of more than 2,000 caregivers, 92 percent are "financial coordinators," overseeing the money of their care recipient, yet they aren't even on top of their own finances. For example, 52 percent didn't know how much they had spent on caregiving-related expenses to date, and 45 percent couldn't even tally up the costs for such care in the past month.
What's the best advice about managing your loved one's money?
Be sure you have a durable financial power of attorney properly signed and dated. Without this document, it's difficult to handle someone else's financial affairs, says James Barnash, a certified financial planner at SGL Financial in Buffalo Grove, Illinois.
Understand there's no room for error. "If you're not going to do it by the book, then I don't advise that you do it at all. Keep detailed records and avoid intermingling of assets and accounts," says Mary P. O'Reilly, a trusts and estates attorney at Meltzer, Lippe in Mineola.
If you're coming in blind, your loved one's advisors--accountant, money manager, attorney--are good resources. Contact them, ask questions, says O'Reilly. Check the mail regularly. Review past tax returns.
Don't neglect your own finances. With new expenses, create a budget and track spending. "Caring for a loved one can easily become your only focus, but caring for yourself and your future is just as important," says Lauren Klein, president of Klein Financial Advisors in Newport Beach, California.

Awesome, modern hotel. Very clean, wonderful buffet breakfast. Location was perfect, we rode bikes into the ancient town (5 mins). Staff are friendly, attentive and always wearing a smile. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone! We will be back for sure.
We loved the Emm Hotel. It was an amazing choice. The local area is perfect. Just outside the busy old city but so much in walking distance. Also their beach shuttle is a great asset.
Very good service and we loved the breakfast. Customer service was perfect. Nice pool. Room was clean, bed was not the best quality but ok. Good hotel to stay.

Q: what is the difference between "this" and "xxx.this" in android example:
Why can I write like that MainActivity.this.getContentResolve();
but can not write like that this.getContentResolve(); in MainActivity.java

A: If you need to access instance of enclosing class from inner class you need to make declaration like this - ClassName.this.anyClassMethod();
For more info read this article Nested Classes

A: There is no difference if you are calling getContentResolver() from any direct method of the activity. You can write both MainActivity.this.getContentResolver(); and this.getContentResolver(); as well as simply getContentResolver() with the same effect. In this case, the this keyword refers to the current instance of the MainActivity.
However, if you are within an inner class or inside an implementation of an interface/abstract method inside the MainActivity, then this will refer to an instance of the inner class or the interface you are implementing. In that case, you have to call MainActivity.this to get access to the instance of the MainActivity.

A: This syntax becomes relevant when using inner classes.
public class A {
    String str = "A";

    public class B {
        String str = "B";

        public String getStr() {
            return A.this.str; //returns A
        }
    }
}

A: It's long described but i think your question is related to anonymous class.
When you are inside class and want to refer to the current object of the class you can use this for example:
    public class MyActivity extends Activity{

    int foo;

    public Test(int _foo){

    this.foo = _foo;
    }
}

but when you want to refer to the current class object from anonymous class inside it you should use class.this for example:
MyActivity.this

Full example for Inner Class:
    public class Test {

        int foo = 1;

        public class InnerTest {
            public String getFoo() {
                return Test.this.foo;
            }
        }
    }

A:
Why can I write like that  MainActivity.this.getContentResolve() but
  can not write like that this.getContentResolve()?

Because your trying to access the context of outer class (MainActivity) in the inner class. we use TheActivityClassName.this in the inner class to access the outer TheActivityClassName class's context.
When we are accessing the activity context in inner class we need a reference to the activity class name so we pass it like MainActivity.this
and when we need it in the class then we can reference it simply like this.something
You should have a look here to get good grasp on what context is actually
Hope it helps

This interactive video installation uses humor to address the serious subject of street harassment. Live on-screen heads—two women and two gay men— observe the passing crowd and catcall the men, thus reversing the typically heterosexual male behavior. The work focuses on "empathy training," where audiences are put on the receiving end of playfully staged inappropriate behavior such as teasing and cat calling. The seriousness of the subject matter is masked by the humor that the situation is intended to create.
This piece was installed in an intersection across from a popular park in downtown Atlanta where wide ranges of people cross paths, from students to business professionals. There is a culture that developed where women were routinely verbally harassed as they crossed through the park. This posed an interesting situation for the artists who were inspired to respond to this public space in a way that uses humor to confront this behavior.


Please allow an extra 7 to 10 working days for production if you choose the imprinted option. We will email you a PDF proof for your approval before production begins. Please feel free to call us at any time with questions.

Home Employees Is it illegal for an employer to dismiss staff for taking part in a strike?
Is it illegal for an employer to dismiss staff for taking part in a strike?
Where an employee goes on strike and refuses to work for their employer, this would ostensibly constitute a repudiatory breach of their employment contract and thus give the employer the right to sack them without notice or pay in lieu of notice.
There are certain scenarios, however, where an employer dismissing an employee for taking part in a strike would be considered unfair dismissal.
When can a strike be called?
A trade union can only call for a strike if all affected trade member unions have been properly balloted and a majority vote for strike action.
include information on what the ballot is about and where to post the vote.
The union must inform everyone entitled to vote how many people voted, the number of yes votes, no votes or spoiled papers as soon as possible after the ballot.
The employer must be given one week's notice of the start of the ballot and tell them the result as soon as feasible.
An employee doesn't have to take part in strike action and their union isn't allowed to discipline them if they refuse.
As long as the ballot was organised according to the rules, an employee has the right to take strike action and they can't be legally forced to stay at, or go back to, work.
Striking employees are technically in breach of their employment contracts and the employer does have a right to sue them for this breach (although this is very rare).
It is unlikely an employee will be paid for the time they are off work during the strike and the employer is allowed to reduce an employee's length of service with them by the number of days they were on strike. This may affect the employee's pension entitlement and statutory redundancy pay.
The employer is not, however, allowed to say that an employee's strike action interrupted their period of continuous employment with them. This starts when an employee begins working for their employer and ends on the day the employer uses to calculate their length of service.
Employees dismissed for taking industrial action at any time within the 12 weeks after the action began can claim unfair dismissal at an employment tribunal.
Under the Employment Relations Act 2004, after 12 weeks (the 'protected' period for industrial action), the employee can be dismissed if they take industrial action and their employer has tried to settle the dispute (eg, if the employer has brought in Acas to help find a solution).
it breaks any other parts of industrial action law.
If employees take part in strike action that breaches the rules and they're dismissed, they can't usually claim unfair dismissal if all employees taking part are dismissed as well.
If the tribunal finds an employee has been unfairly dismissed, it can make an award of compensation comprising a basic award, based on the employee's age, length of service and weekly pay and a compensatory award (an amount the tribunal considers fair taking into account the loss the employee has suffered as a result of the dismissal, subject to a limit of £50,000).
If no employees are still taking protected industrial action over the dispute and if the employee requests it, the tribunal may order that the employee be re-instated. If the employer refuses to comply with this order, the tribunal can make an award of compensation consisting of the basic and compensatory awards mentioned above and an additional award of between 26 and 52 weeks' pay (subject to a maximum of £25,428).
Non-union members who take part in legal, official industrial action have the same rights as union members not to be dismissed as a result of taking action.

What Are the Legal Towing Requirements in California?
Legal Towing Requirements - Legal Towing Requirements
Search Legal Towing Requirements. Look Up Results on iDaily.com.
California law requires that every hitch or coupling device be securely mounted to the towing vehicle, that the driver uses a safety chain between the towing vehicle and towed vehicle, and that the drawbar or other connection may not exceed 15 feet in length, according to the California Vehicle Code. These towing requirements do not apply to vehicles towing a pipe or pole dolly, such as a logging truck.
California has specific laws for fifth-wheel hitches. A semi-truck or tractor-trailer's fifth-wheel hitch must have its upper and lower halves securely mounted to the towing vehicle so that neither half shifts on the towing vehicle. Each fifth-wheel hitch must have a locking device that prevents the upper and lower halves from separating without someone activating a manual release, describes the California Vehicle Code. Each hitch must also be structurally adequate to support the weight of the towed vehicle without causing structural damage to the towing vehicle.
Tow trucks must also follow specific towing laws under the California Vehicle Code. The tow truck and the towed vehicle must be connected to each other by the primary restraining system and at least two safety chains. Drivers must securely fasten the safety chains to the tow truck's frame. Vehicles transported on a slide-back carrier tow truck must have at least four tie-down straps or chains securing them onto the trailer, and these straps must be independent of the tow truck's winch or towing cable, specifies the California Vehicle Code.

Three Conference Ministers Call for Support of #GivingTuesday Effort to Erase Medical Debt
Dec. 4 Update: The UCC has surpassed their goal, so far raising nearly $75,000. it's not too late to give at: www.ucc.org/giving_tuesday
The three Bridge Conference Ministers are calling for support for the United Church of Christ's Giving Tuesday campaign to erase medical debt.
The United Church of Christ has set a goal of raising $50,000, which will erase approximately $5 million dollars in medical debt for people who are facing insolvency, and for whom medical debt is 5% or more of annual income.
"What a great way to kick off the season of Advent, when we anticipate the greatest gift of all," said Marilyn Kendrix, Rhode Island Transitional Conference Minister. "I hope everyone in our new Southern New England Conference will participate in this wonderful gift, knowing that it will mean so much to folks who have enough to worry about when going through challenging medical situations."
Celebrated on the Tuesday following Thanksgiving in the US, which this year is Dec. 3, Giving Tuesday inspires millions of people across the globe to show up and give to causes and issues that matter to them.
In October, Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, along with other Illinois UCC and Baptist churches, the Illinois Conference and UCC National ministries, collaborated on investing $38,000 to abolish $5.3 million in debt in some of the poorest communities in Chicago. They did so working with RIP Medical Debt, a New York-based nonprofit that identifies and purchases medical debt for pennies on the dollar in order to abolish unpaid and unpayable medical debt. The #GivingTuesday effort will also be in partnership with RIP Medical Debt.
"This is a remarkable program for its scope and impact," said Don Remick, Massachusetts Conference Interim Transitional Conference Minister. "And it is generating a lot of enthusiasm among our clergy and churches. It is an effective and powerful way for us to Live the Love and Justice of Jesus."
In calling for support of the campaign, Connecticut Conference Minister Kent Siladi quoted Romans 14:12b:
"Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light."
"As the season of Advent begins the ritual of lighting candles will take place in many sanctuaries. We start this season of waiting with hope. We are invited to be messengers of hope in the midst of a world torn by violence and hate, by racism and sexism and homophobia and a planet that is aching for us to change our ways," he said.
"As the Romans passage invites us to put on the armor of light I believe one way that I can do this is to participate in reducing medical debt for those who have been saddled with what seems like an insurmountable burden from which there is no hope. I invite you to join me in contributing to the UCC's Giving Tuesday Initiative. It is really a remarkable way to offer hope. A blessed Advent to each of you."
