Study ranks how 'tax-friendly' every state is
by: Alix Martichoux, Nexstar Media Wire
Posted: Feb 22, 2022 / 12:40 PM PST
Updated: Feb 22, 2022 / 11:41 AM PST
(NEXSTAR) – It's tax filing season and depending on where you live in the U.S., you could be forking over a very different-sized chunk of your income.
An analysis by MoneyGeek ranked every state by how "tax-friendly" it is. The analysts didn't just look at income tax – they also factored in property taxes, plus state and local sales taxes.
To determine where people pay the highest tax burden, MoneyGeek looked at a hypothetical average family: a married couple with one kid, earning the median national income of $82,852, owning a $349,400 home. The study breaks down how much this fictional family would pay in taxes in every state.
The states with the lowest tax burden, according to the analysis, were:
Wyoming (estimated taxes: 4% of income or $3,279)
Nevada (estimated taxes: 4.7% of income or $3,879)
Alaska (estimated taxes: 5.4% of income or $4,507)
Florida (estimated taxes: 5.6% of income or $4,632)
Tennessee (estimated taxes: 6.5% of income or $5,377)
Washington (estimated taxes: 6.5% of income or $5,414)
North Dakota (estimated taxes: 6.7% of income or $5,556)
Arizona (estimated taxes: 6.8% of income or $5,665)
South Dakota (estimated taxes: 7.2% of income or $5,938)
Delaware (estimated taxes: 7.3% of income or $6,074)
Where rent rose, fell the most in 2021: report
The states with the highest tax burden were:
Illinois (estimated taxes: 16.8% of income or $13,894)
Connecticut (estimated taxes: 15.1% of income or $12,545)
New Jersey (estimated taxes: 14.3% of income or $11,872)
New Hampshire (estimated taxes: 14.1% of income or $11,694)
New York (estimated taxes: 13.9% of income or $11,495)
Iowa (estimated taxes: 13.8% of income or $11,398)
Wisconsin (estimated taxes: 13.2% of income or $10,976)
Vermont (estimated taxes: 12.6% of income or $10,453)
Nebraska (estimated taxes: 12.6% of income or $10,446)
Michigan (estimated taxes: 12.4% of income or $10,239)
Based on its analysis, MoneyGeek also gave every state a letter grade on its "tax friendliness." The states with A grades have the lowest tax burden on an "average" family, while the states with D or E grades have the highest tax burden.
MoneyGeek's estimates only hold true for that hypothetical family of earning about $82,000 a year with a $349,000 house. A family who just bought a $1 million house in California would probably be paying a lot more in taxes, while a single person earning $40,000 in Texas would be paying less.

Facts Of Life Star Charlotte Rae Grateful After Beating Cancer
By WENN on 13 September 2012

Picture: Charlotte Rae The Professional Dancer's Society Gypsy Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel - Arrivals Beverly Hills, California - 18.03.12
Veteran U.S. TV actress Charlotte Rae has beaten cancer.
The 86-year-old Facts of Life and Diff'rent Strokes star was first diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in 2009 after discovering she had a cyst on her pancreas - and she feared the worst because the disease claimed the lives of her mother, sister and uncle.
She tells the Globe, "It (cancer) was contained, but it was growing fast."
Top Los Angeles surgeon Howard Reber was able to cut off the tail of Rae's pancreas, which contained the cancerous cyst and she then started a six-month course of chemotherapy to stop the disease from spreading.
She says, "My last treatment was on my 84th birthday, April 22, 2010. I continue to have check-ups every two to three months and after three scans, everything shows I'm cancer free. It's truly a miracle.
"With expert medical attention and (the) support of friends and loved ones, I am still here. I'm profoundly grateful."

"The kinetics of the H2/H2O emission shows that the olivine crystal under study contain interstitial H2 molecules which can diffuse out."
1000 L of H2/m3 of rock. Hm. That suggests we're going to be looking for ways of crunching a lot of rock in the next ten years or so. Watch for plutonium futures to take off. There will also be a lot of former petroleum engineers retraining in petrohydrogeny...new word, there. Looks nice.
Studies by the team of common rock types such as granite and olivine have revealed extraordinarily high levels of trapped hydrogen. Professor Freund said that his team had "tantalizing evidence" that as much as 1,000 litres of hydrogen may be trapped in each cubic metre of rock.
=> 1 m^3 of rock contains 1 m^3 of hydrogen.
Neat trick. Seems to me that if there is that much hydrogen in rock, throwing a piece of granite into a fire could be hazzardous to your health.

Supreme Court asks Centre to link mobile numbers with Aadhaar
Salman SH
The Supreme Court has ordered the central government to link Aadhaar card details with a subscriber's mobile number within a year, reports TOI. The court also asked the Centre to formulate a method to register every Indian mobile subscriber's SIM card with their Aadhaar card. According to the report, the court suggested that every time a subscriber makes a recharge, they could be redirected to "fill and deposit" a form to verify his/her identity.
The court was hearing a petition filed by Lokniti Foundation, an NGO-based in Delhi, which earlier moved the Supreme Court in 2014 to create a database of DNA profiles that could be used to identify unclaimed bodies. According to this Mint report, Lokniti's petition looked into clearing out fake mobile numbers among existing subscriber base by verifying a SIM owner's identity and sought to make Aadhaar card mandatory for acquiring a new number.
The NGO's petition resembles TRAI's recommendations last month, which stated that both existing and new subscribers base should be verified under the Aadhaar-based eKYC (Know Your Customer) process to weed out SIM cards acquired using fake or forged identity. However, the Supreme Court's new directive seems to be farfetched from Court's earlier stance. The SC had earlier clamped down on the government multiple times (here, here, and here) for making Aadhaar mandatory for different kinds of services.
Centre's push to increase Aadhaar saturation?
Making Aadhaar mandatory for acquiring a mobile service could have repercussions, and it is not clear how the Centre plans on a massive exercise to start linking some 1 billion SIM Cards with Aadhaar to prove identity. Currently, several telcos are providing Aadhaar-based eKYC for SIM cards after TRAI approved the feature in August last year. Telcos verify a person's identity by scanning their fingerprint using a scanner machine, which communicates with the UIDAI server for authentication. In a similar way, the Aadhaar AUTH API can be used by any private or public company to communicate with the UIDAI servers for user authentication.
Secondly, if the Centre accepts the Supreme Court's order, then a new customer will have to enroll for an Aadhaar in case they do not own one. Similarly, all existing subscribers will have to enroll for an Aadhaar in case they do not own one. But the exercise involving verifying millions of subscribers could have disadvantages:
-Telcos will have to undertake a massive campaign notifying users about Aadhaar linkage. They might lose some subscribers, but it is yet to be seen how this could affect them financially.
– This Scroll report points out that after Aadhaar was made mandatory for getting public ration services, 4-5% of the beneficiaries in AP did not receive their rations due to Aadhaar authentication failure. In Rajasthan, only 63% of beneficiaries received their rations, rest were "turned away" due to authentication failures. Such a scenario with Aadhaar eKYC for SIMs may lead to people losing their mobile numbers.
-The court did not make any mention of existing subscribers who do not own an Aadhaar card. But clearly, it seems like the Aadhaar linkage with SIM cards could be an exercise to obtain maximum saturation for the Aadhaar which currently covers 99% of adults in India.
This was incorrectly reported by us according to the updates from the government. The Supreme Court had not ordered the linking. The Department of Telecom had misrepresented the Court Order to order Aadhaar-mobile linking. This was later admitted in the Supreme Court by Senior Advocate Rakesh Dwivedi, appearing for the government in the constitutional challenge to the validity of the Aadhaar Act.

REVIEW: The New Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro
Samsung has a lot of expertise in developing true wireless earbuds at the moment. Samsung's new Galaxy Buds2 Pro have been designed with the audiophile in mind, boasting not only improved sound quality but also a more compact and aerodynamic build. Here are our first impressions of Samsung's newly released in-ear earbuds, the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, which made their debut in August 2022.
The introduction of true ANC with the Galaxy Buds Pro at the beginning of last year marked the company's first foray into the market, but as technology advances, there is still room for improvement in terms of noise cancellation and overall sound quality. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro are an updated version of the company's earlier flagship earbuds, the Galaxy Buds Pro. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro are not only an improvement over their predecessor in terms of size and comfort, but they also demonstrate Samsung's remarkable growth over the past year and a half.
Samsung has made significant improvements to the design of the Galaxy Buds2 Pro, making them smaller and lighter than their rivals resulted a set of earbuds that are secure, comfortable, and fashionable enough to make you forget you're even wearing them. As a result of Samsung's addition of air vents inside each earbud, pressure is reduced, allowing the earbuds to have a smaller stature, which means they fit more securely in your ear and barely protrude from your ears.
The Galaxy Buds2 Pro look and feel very much like last year's Buds Pro, but with a few key upgrades. To begin with, the new model is 15% smaller than the one from 2021, so it fits better in the ear and is more comfortable to wear for extended periods of time. It felt like the earbuds were securely in my ears even after I shook my head. The earbuds performed flawlessly during testing, remaining securely in place regardless of how vigorously we were moving (walking, jogging, and cycling).
Samsung have had their Galaxy Buds2 Pro's aerodynamics refined to reduce wind noise. This is helped along by the reconfigured microphone's grille and form factor. And lastly, the included charging case is the same colour as the new Galaxy Buds2 Pro and resembles the previous generation's Galaxy Buds Pro case.
The Galaxy Buds2 Pro and charging case look and feel premium thanks to a matte finish that brings out the design details. USB-C and wireless charging are still supported by the case. While the casing is not waterproof, the earbuds themselves are IPX7 certified, meaning they can withstand being submerged in water up to one metre deep for up to thirty minutes.
You can control playback, pause, track skipping, and mode switching directly from the touchpad on each earbud, eliminating the need for the Wearable app. You have the option to disable touch controls entirely within the Wearable app, but I find them helpful, and I think you will too after giving them a try.
The music can be paused and played with a tap, and the ANC and ambient modes can be toggled with a long press. That's how it's preconfigured, but you can change it to something else if you like by using the Wearable app. By tapping twice or three times quickly, you can skip back and forth between songs. A long press can be set to do anything from opening Bixby to adjusting the volume or starting Spotify.
All the Galaxy Buds2 Pro's features and customization options can be accessed in the same way as they were with previous Samsung earbuds—through the Galaxy Wearable app on Android devices. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro will still work with Apple device, but you won't have access to some of the best features.
In the app, the case and earbuds' remaining battery life are displayed together at the very top. You can see which noise mode is currently active (ANC, Off, or Ambient) and make any necessary adjustments directly from the main screen. Below that, you'll see toggles for things like voice activation, surround sound, touchscreen navigation, and the ability to locate misplaced earbuds.
Samsung's new Voice Detect feature automatically activates ambient sounds and lowers the volume when you're talking, making it ideal for quick conversations. After 10 seconds of silence, the instrument will reset to its default state, but you can change this to 5 or 15 seconds if desired.
In addition to the aforementioned features, the Galaxy Wearables app provides a plethora of additional options, such as equaliser presets, buds fit check, read receipts, hands-free Bixby, ambient audio during calls, seamless pairing with select Samsung devices, neck stretch reminders, and much more. The app comes packed with a lot of features.
The left/right channel balance can be changed in the "Accessibility" menu. Here, you can customise the volume and ambient tone to your liking, and you can choose to keep ANC on even when you remove one earbud (Buds2 Pro turns it off by default). Enhancing ambient sound is nothing new for earbuds, but it's nice that Samsung gives you some control over the process.
When it comes to wireless earbuds, Samsung's first to support Samsung Seamless Codec HiFi is the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. Samsung's latest wireless audio codec allows for 24-bit audio to be transmitted, but it's currently only compatible with Galaxy smartphones and tablets. But worry not as soon after the end of the year, the South Korean company will release a software update for the Galaxy Buds2 Pro that adds support for the Bluetooth LE Audio codec.
So, what exactly is LE Audio? The new Low Complexity Communication Codec (LC3) was created by the Bluetooth Special Interest Group (SIG), the organisation responsible for developing and keeping the Bluetooth technology standard and is part of the Bluetooth LE Audio specification.
This codec is the long-awaited replacement for the SBC codec, which is used by every Bluetooth speaker and headset on the market.
Unlike other wireless audio codecs (such as SSC, AAC, aptX, and LDAC), Bluetooth LE Audio is developed by the Bluetooth SIG, meaning that a large number of future products will be able to support it. As the default audio codec supported by all Bluetooth audio products, SBC isn't as stable or high-quality as this alternative. With Android 13, Google implemented support for Bluetooth LE Audio. This means that the Galaxy Buds2 Pro will work with any phone or tablet that has Android 13 installed (and newer).
The 24-bit audio quality is the most notable improvement to the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. It has been asserted that the acoustic quality of this new model is vastly superior to its predecessor thanks to the increased sound resolution. Compared to 16-bit audio, 24-bit audio provides 256 times the amount of detail. The playback device and the sound source both need to support 24-bit audio for this to work.
The same can be said for the 360-degree audio, another major feature. The sound source follows your head around like Apple's Spatial Audio. You can hear something coming from the front right into your left ear if you turn your head to the right by ninety degrees. This is however applicable for Samsung devices only. Thirdly, the ANC has been upgraded, and Samsung claims it offers 40% better protection from outside noise.
When we got our hands on the new model, we compared it to the it's predecessor, and found that the rather noisy environment had been effectively muffled. Simply tapping the earphones toggles ANC on and off. In addition, there is a smart smooth mode that disables ANC the moment you begin talking.
Both earbuds and charging case have a battery capacity of 61 mAh. So, the charging case can replenish the earbuds about four times. According to Samsung, you'll get 18 hours of total autonomy with ANC turned on, and 29 hours without it.
The Buds2 Pro deliver an impressively powerful bass response and a spacious, clear sound. The low end is rich and nuanced, not just heavy rumbles. Numerous earbuds provide well-rounded sound with strong bass. The small, difficult-to-replicate details are often what set apart the great from the good.
This is accomplished by Samsung's use of a 10mm bass woofer and a 5.3mm tweeter, which allows for crisp highs. This configuration excels at rendering music of all genres with crystal clear depth and width, resulting in multi-dimensional, thrilling performances rather than compressed, monotonous ones.
Samsung has once again outdone themselves with the Galaxy Buds2 Pro. They are compact, but still capable of advanced features like ANC, Voice Detect, and more. The Samsung Galaxy Buds2 Pro can be bought in three distinct hues: Graphite, White, and Bora Purple. You can always put a new skin or case on it if you don't like the way it looks. All three hues provide varying atmospheres that appeal to a wide range of people.
Samsung's Galaxy Buds2 Pro are a major improvement over the original model. They combine the best qualities of the Buds2 and the Buds Pro into a single, superior product, making both the ANC and the sound quality better while also being more comfortable to wear. The Galaxy Buds2 Pro are, in our opinion, Samsung's best-sounding earbuds to date, and their extensive feature set should please any owner of a Galaxy phone.

Q: Javascript: How to write records into a file line by line separated by a comma but without a trailing comma at the end I've got a file of records (one per line):
Record1
Record2
Record3

I'm using the fs and the readline modules for that:
        const rs = fs.createReadStream('input.txt');
        const ws = fs.createWriteStream('output.json', { encoding: "utf8" });
        const rl = readline.createInterface({
            input: rs,
            crlfDelay: Infinity,
        });
        ws.write('[');
        for await (const line of rl) {
            ws.write(`${line},\n`);
        }
        ws.end(']');

But this loop will also toss in a trailing comma at the end of the file which is bad cos trailing commas are not allowed in JSON.
The problem is that I don't want to read the whole file into memory and I don't know the number of records in advance.
Edit:
This is a simple example, but in the real code, the record gets transformed to a json record, but it's irrelevant.

A: By creating a local variable to track whether you've already encountered the first record, you can prepend the comma to all entries after the first one, achieving the same effect:

Note that, because whitespace is insignificant in JSON, you will decrease the size of the resulting file by omitting the newlines

ws.write('[');

let comma = false;

for await (const line of rl) {
  if (!line.trim()) continue;
  if (comma) ws.write(',');
  ws.write(line);
  comma = true;
}

ws.end(']');

Q: Stored Procedure with parameters how to prevent SQL Injection I created a stored procedure that searches tables based off of user input. I think this code is at risk for SQL injection, so I tested with several queries that I expected to drop a table, but to my surprise the table was not dropped. I'm wondering if this query is actually fine or am I missing something?
DECLARE @Query VARCHAR(200) = ';DROP TABLE DeleteMe;--'

SELECT f.Name
FROM [Firm] AS f
WHERE f.Name LIKE '%' + @Query + '%';

I tried several queries, all variations on the theme above.

A: There are ways to prevent SQL Injection:
1 Using Prepared Statements(with Parameterized Queries)
2- Using Stored Procedures
3- Validating user input
4- Limiting privileges
5- Hiding info from the error message
6- Updating your system
7- Keeping database credentials separated and encrypted
8- Disabling shell and any other functionalities you don't need

"Too soon" for cannibal humor?
Grim information below in the museum at the Donner Memorial Park in California (a lovely place with a nice lake, paths, impressive scenery with high hills above). Yet the location largely comemorates the famous Donner Party travelers who were stranded en route to California and had to eat about half of the people. I mean eat ALL of half of the people, not eat half of each person. Tidbit: the relatively wealthy Donner family was largely spared, most of the people eaten were poorer and/or servants.
The typo (or was it intentional?) that "Feuds and internal disagreements lowered their moral and further slowed the pace."
Took a series of cannibal-related photos with the family around the site. Am guessing we are not the first to do so. Locals are probably tired of cannibal humor to the point where it no longer has any, well, bite to it. A rich and nutritious source of amusement for us tourists, though.
Cannibals in Polynesia refer to human flesh as "long pig". Recommend white wine, then.

PM President quoted in CPA article
SPECIAL REPORT: Preserving the past and future
Since it was first enacted in 2000, the Community Preservation Act has had a sizable impact on open space, housing, recreation and historic preservation throughout the Commonwealth. But it's also been a victim of its own success, with increased participation putting a strain on the state's ability to match funds.
Jim Igoe, president of Preservation Massachusetts, described the scope of historic preservation projects the CPA has supported.
"We've seen a lot of restoration of historic buildings such as town halls and libraries," he said. "We saw the restoration of the Gay Head Lighthouse. We've seen cemetery restorations, handicap accessibility to historic buildings, artifacts surveyed and restored, archaeology survey work. It's been a pretty broad brush."

Now this is ridiculous. Not only did Apple pull all the unofficial Google Voice apps out of the App Store for an absurd reason, now they expect the developers of those apps to fund refunds out of their own pockets.
One of the developers, as you remember, found out that their app had been pulled only when a user emailed them to ask the app wasn't available for purchase. Then, they asked Apple why it was pulled, and was met with what could only be called as an absurd phone exchange. See here for the transcript.
Now, according to an interview given to Maclife, they're being forced to pay for Apple's actions.
"Apple made it impossible for our customers to receive the fixes, updates, and support by pulling the app. We were fulfilling our end of the bargain. Why should those refunds come out of our pocket?" says Duerr. "The refund issue and lack of respect for our mutual customers has further soured us on the belief that Apple cares at all about their developers … other than the dollars they bring in."


What is Experian X Labs?
With the scale, diversity and pace of change in Asia Pacific, Experian is doubling down on our commitment to continually innovate market-leading solutions for our customers and our region's communities. Experian X Labs was formed to provide agile, scalable and cutting-edge solutions. Experian X Labs is an innovation ecosystem committed to helping find and solve the problems, and develop opportunities across Asia Pacific. Experian X Labs has an enhanced focus on innovation that helps consumers and businesses address the important issue of financial inclusion and greater access to finance through advanced data analysis, research and development.
using primary pillars: data analytics and modern technology.
Experian X Labs consists of three teams working together to generate, test and bring the innovations to market. It is run by a multidisciplinary group of data scientists, applied research practitioners with expertise in advanced analytics, machine learning and advanced statistical methods.
How does Experian X Labs work?
Ideas are generated by various mechanisms including hackathons or day-long collaborative workshops with prospects and customers.
The Experian X Labs team starts to work using sprint methodology to create a working prototype. Our team is staffed with a multidisciplinary group of data scientists and applied research practitioners with expertise in applying cutting-edge data science using machine learning and advancements in AI to bring a viable solution ready to be scaled for market launch.
When the prototype has passed commercial qualification and is ready for launch, the model is taken over by the product accelerator team. The team works internally with a specific business and the marketing team to bring the product to market.

An identity-verification technology facilitating the creation of online identities, Prove-ID verifies the identities of individuals in real-time, providing a fast and secure environment. This solution enables many of the poorest and most marginalized members of society to connect to government and financial services.
Financial institutions need to take decisions about the accuracy and reliability of their risks regularly. If the risk is overplayed it can affect bottom-line profitability and cause damage to businesses. One of the most interesting challenges financial services professionals face today, is ability to understand at what point in the model management lifecycle do models need to be updated to maintain their predictive efficacy.
Risk officers have to review many statistical reports to validate a model.
Experian has put all the best practices in one easily accessible application while providing an automated way to generate a single consolidated model validation view. Our data scientist and innovation team has created a model that is customer focussed thereby making it easy to use and customize. The model also acts as a data visualizer and provides statistics to help understand and monitor scorecard performance.
Debt collection is a delicate situation for financial institutions. Financial institutions struggle to walk the line in maintaining their place as a trusted counsel to their customers and collecting a debt. In Asia Pacific approximately 60% of cases are worked by field agents. The financial institutions need to have a system and process to monitor the progress of collection, improve efficiency and above all continue to maintain a good relationship with their customers.
CollectAble is a mobility solution to automate field collections by enabling field agents to view their cases on mobile, get real time updates and improve efficiencies. It connects the last mile to support collections, keeps data secure and helps maintain trust. CollectAble helps integrate and manage external agencies and agents who are not part of internal hierarchy. It provides control to collection managers, allowing flexibility to allocate accounts as per performance and net worth among agencies.
At Experian, we are committed to supporting social innovation and investing in ideas that offer societal benefits.

Atlanta rapper Casino makes a cross-country connection with DJ Mustard.
Freebandz soldier Casino made a striking impression with his big, deafening Frank Matthews mixtape. Though his label boss Future might be known for his howling, Casino's booming voice recalled Waka Flocka Flame's Saltute Me or Shoot Me days, or even Lil Jon at his Crunk peak. But that kind of style can have brief shelf life--on "Eazy" Casino takes a different approach, tapping DJ Mustard's minimalist style to slightly tone down his vocal performance. No matter who's producing, Casino's bars will sound like they're about to burst through speakers.

Oscar de la Renta, the Peter Copping Era
by pixie.tenenbaum | February 18, 2015
Oscar de la Renta is a name synonymous with modern casual luxury, mention de la Renta to any girl worth her Manolos and she will no doubt conjure up with affection, the image of Carrie Bradshaw and Alexandr Petrovsky dancing in McDonalds in THAT pink dress;
or of Sarah Jessica Parker at the 2014 Met Gala in bespoke and personalised de la Renta:
Oscar de la Renta has for years been the go-to designer for countless American first ladies, A listers the world over, and who could forget that it was Sex and the City that brought de la Renta to the modern girls regular vocabulary. The designer had a penchant for silk, and vibrant colours, and a subtle nod to the eighties. Originally a painter, he was won over by fashion and has a CV that leaves many designers in the shade.
The fashion world undoubtedly lost one of it's heroes in October 2014 when Oscar de la Renta passed away aged 82, and many wondered how the house would continue after such an iconic reign at the helm. Step forward Peter Copping, formerly of Nina Ricci.
The NYFW FW15 collection was the first de la Renta collection under the creative direction of Copping and it absolutely stayed true to de la renta's legacy. The A list were packed into the NYFW show space in droves and extra folding chairs were brought out to seat the masses who poured in to judge Copping's debut. Copping primed his audience with a polite note advising of a "new chapter" at the House whilst also remaining respectful of the late de la Renta, let's not forget, de la Renta died before he and Copping had a chance to work together.
Taylor Swift and BFF Karlie Kloss wore matching de la Renta tulip dresses as they took their seats together on the FROW and as one model strutted past in an electric blue floor sweeper Karlie was heard whispering "Beautiful…" with Taylor nodding in agreement.
The show had a much more youthful, light feel to it than shows of old, yes this was absolutely a de la Renta presentation, that much was clear, but this had a fresh new edge. Hemlines were higher and there were flashes of midriff on show through panelling and cut outs, this is fresh territory for the house of de la Renta. The collection was undoubtedly chic and feminine, as you would expect from de la Renta, Nina Ricci was the ideal training ground for this and Copping has showcased his skills to perfection with this inaugural collection.
de la Renta himself was partial to a ruffle or two and Copping has carried this sentiment through to the FW15 collection and has kept alive the essence of de la Renta through the chic and understated finishing touches such as a contrasting colour silk waist tie, velvet trimmings and of course the impeccable cut. Hair and make-up were kept simple, a deliberate attempt to keep focus on the collection.
This collection has red carpet written all over it and it marks the very beginning of an exciting new chapter for the House of de la Renta whilst maintaining the true originality of its namesake. Peter Copping may have just opened up the brand to a fresh new market, and I personally can't wait to see how this unfolds. As a true die-hard fan of de la Renta I was sceptical, after all, those are big shoes to fill and that's a big legacy for anyones shoulders, I can't deny that my inner Carrie Bradshaw wept the day Oscar de la Renta died but his reign is far from over, with Copping at the masthead I can't help but think it's going to be ok.

Electric Waco Chair – 2000 (Bloodshot)
Reviewed by Brian Baker
When we last visited Jon Langford's Waco Brothers, some were giving it to the musical overachiever for not quite hitting the mark on "WacoWorld." While it wasn't a perfect album, that's pretty much the standard line on Langford projects, so the carping was slightly off target.
On the other hand, Langford had just recently finished his Skull Orchard solo album, and The Mekons were just wrapping up a new one as well. It may have been that Langford and the Wacos were stretched just a little too thin. If that was the perceived problem then, no such division of attention exists here, the latest chapter in the Big Book of Langford and Company.
As usual, the Wacos place their bets at a window somewhere between the outlaw country of Hag and Cash and Waylon and the punkish country translators like The Clash and early Jason and the Scorchers. The best parts ("Make Things Happen," "Dragging My Own Tombstone," "It's Not Enough," "Where in the World") are energetic blends of all of those, tossed liberally with the Wacos' own special sauce to create country with a potent kick.

Finding a reason for hope after disappointing Total oilsands mine approval
Blog - Jan. 31, 2011 - By Marc Huot
As Alberta Premier Ed Stelmach announced last week that he will not seek re-election, I allowed myself to dream of an Alberta with a provincial government willing to take its duty to regulate the oilsands industry more seriously. Unfortunately, just as I was starting to feel optimistic for the first time in a long while, news broke that the provincial and federal government's Joint Review Panel had approved the Total Joslyn North Mine.
This approval highlights the fundamental issues with the oilsands regulatory system. First, the mine was approved despite having a flawed application that failed to accurately assess its environmental impacts. And second, it is simply irresponsible for the government to approve another large mine when it has already proven to be incapable of managing the impacts of the rapidly expanding oilsands industry.
These concerns were raised very clearly by the Royal Society of Canada only a month before this approval. The Royal Society report findings illustrated that the oilsands industry suffers from poor government oversight and that decisions are made with a lack of information, particularly on cumulative environmental effects.
The evidence that the provincial and federal governments need to take bold action to develop the oilsands responsibly has never been stronger.
Just last week, we saw the release of a report by the National Round Table on Energy and Environment, outlining the case for Canada to implement a made-in-Canada climate policy. The report notes that if Canada delays further in implementing greenhouse gas reductions, oilsands could be left at a competitive disadvantage if the U.S. implements a low-carbon fuel policy. To meet the standard proposed by California, oilsands suppliers would need to achieve a 20 per cent total reduction in carbon intensity in the next decade.
Meanwhile, what Alberta calls its climate change plan will let emissions continue to rise for at least the next decade — presenting a major problem for Canada to meet its international commitments, according to the Royal Society report. Environment Canada's national inventory report reported greenhouse gas emissions from the oilsands more than doubled between 1990 and 2008.
It's puzzling then why our provincial and federal governments would blindly approve another project that will result in 1.5 million tonnes of greenhouse gas pollution each year, equivalent to putting more than 270,000 cars on the road.
We'd love to believe those folks who like to characterize oilsands emissions as unsubstantial, but sadly that simply isn't the case.
It's important to recognize that per barrel emissions from oilsands have decreased considerably due to technology advancements, but the problem lies in the fact that the forecasted increase in production (due to approvals of projects such as the Total Joslyn mine) will still cause greenhouse gas emissions to rise.
While this all may sound a little bleak, the good news is that the momentum for a solution is building, with several recent independent reports calling the provincial and federal governments out for their mismanagement of the oilsands. Heck, even energy industry CEOs are calling for a national carbon tax.
With that in mind, I'm going to go back to dreaming about a day when Alberta's leader meets environmental criticism head-on by taking action to appropriately regulate oilsands development. The unique circumstances in Alberta politics right now just might allow that to happen.

Alberta's elusive climate target

Alberta's newly appointed climate change minister, Diana McQueen, caused a stir by saying the province fully intended to meet its 2020 climate target. Alberta officials have long acknowledged that things were off course, and efforts to strengthen key policies and right the ship have been delayed repeatedly. It's worth a deeper look at why the sudden optimism caught people off guard, and what it holds for Alberta's larger climate challenge.

Strong expectations to keep interest rate unchanged during CBE's MPC on Thursday, despite inflation hikes - Daily News Egypt
Business Strong expectations to keep interest rate unchanged during CBE's MPC on Thursday, despite inflation hikes
Strong expectations to keep interest rate unchanged during CBE's MPC on Thursday, despite inflation hikes
Raising interest rates will not curb inflation caused by flotation and shortage, say analysts
Hossam Mounir February 14, 2017 Be the first to comment
The market expects the Central Bank of Egypt's (CBE) Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) to keep the interest rate unchanged during its meeting on Thursday, despite the hike in inflation rate at the end of January, reaching its highest level in decades.
The base interest rate at CBE is considered the most important indicator for movements in interest rates offered by banks in Egypt on short-term loans.
CBE had raised the interest rate three times in 2016: on 17 March by 1.5%, on 16 June by 1%, and on 3 November by 3%, reaching 14.75% for deposit and 15.75% for lending, with the main credit and discount rate settling at 15.25%.
According to the MPC, these moves aimed at curbing inflation and controlling price hikes, especially after the decision to float the pound on 3 November 2016.
On Monday, the CBE noted that its core inflation rate at the end of January climbed to 30.86%, up from 25.86% in December 2016—an increase of 5%. The monthly inflation rate in January registered 5%, up from 4.35% in December.
The CBE's announcement came one day after the Central Agency for Public Mobilization and Statistics (CAPMAS) stated that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) rose to 28.14% in January, compared to 23.27% in December, while its general monthly average inflation rate recorded 4.07% in January, versus 3.13% in December.
Despite the record-high inflation, many analysts believe that raising interest rates will not curb it, explaining that the hike in inflation was not caused by an increase in the money supply, but as a natural result of the flotation and shortages in main commodities in the market.
Tamer Youssef, head of treasury at a foreign bank operating in Egypt, said that MPC is likely to keep interest rates unchanged on Thursday, noting that raising the rate will not curb inflation.
He explained that hikes in inflation rates were not caused by a surplus in the money supply in the market—which could be solved by raising interest rates—but rather by the depreciation of the pound against the US dollar after flotation and the fuel subsidy cuts in November 2016.
Established in 2005, MPC has been working to stabilise prices and curb inflation, according to Banking Law No. 88 of 2003.
Youssef noted that the state is going through a phase of targeting exchange rates before addressing the inflation, adding that the coming phase will aim to boost growth, which is when interest rates could be lowered.
He pointed out that money managers at banks were expecting a rate hike during the three months after the flotation by 1%, but these expectations were amended after the MPC's latest statement on 29 December 2016.
This statement pointed out that the inflation wave in Egypt was not caused by more consumption or surplus in liquidity, adding that raising interest rates by 3%—the decision that accompanied flotation—was enough for the current phase.
In the same context, 9 of 13 analysts polled by Reuters said that the MPC is likely to keep the interest rate unchanged in the coming meeting.
Reham al-Desouky, senior economist at Arqaam Capital, said that raising interest rates will not curb inflation, as it was caused by increased costs.
She added that the current interest levels are enough to make investments in local currency attractive to local and foreign investors.
Pharos Investment Bank also predicted that the CBE will maintain the interest rate because of the decline in iron, cement, and animal food prices in February compared to January. The bank also stated that the latest exchange rate figures will, on their own, contribute to bringing down inflation rates.

A polished wooden wall hanging rack in your storage or kitchen will not only assist you in storing precious wine bottles, but , it will also add beauty to the decor of that room. Many of these racks, particularly those manufactured from good quality timber, can last for a long time with proper maintenance and cleaning. Besides, consider the truth that a wooden wine rack will cope better with humidity and temperature levels inside house. When you buy a high-quality wooden rack for wine beverage storage, check that the design allows air circulation between the spaces populated by two bottles; this will likely prevent the corks of bottles from drying out. Choose a tone or shade of wood that matches together with the color scheme of the solid wood furniture and accessories at your house. A majority of people prefer ordering racks with dark shades and finish.

Concerns about water safety aren't just in Flint, Mich. Water worries are hitting the Northeast, where communities in three states have found elevated levels of a chemical used in everyday things like Teflon and water-resistant clothing. It's a suspected carcinogen called PFOA. NPR's Hansi Lo Wang reports.
HANSI LO WANG, BYLINE: It's been more than two years since Michael Hickey has drunk his tap water. And for the past four months, he and about 4,000 of his neighbors in Hoosick Falls, N.Y. have had another routine.
MICHAEL HICKEY: Are you going to grab another?
WANG: Picking up free rations of bottled water from the supermarket.
HICKEY: The water? We're supposed to be keeping the water here to pick up until October, until the permanent filtration system's put in.
WANG: For Hickey, this all began after his father died from kidney cancer more than three years ago.
HICKEY: I'm not a big environmentalist. I'm just an everyday guy that came across a chemical to follow through on for my father and my son.
WANG: His father worked with PFOA, also known as C8, at a plastics factory near the village's wells. So Hickey wondered, was there something in the water?
HICKEY: You know, we're in a Teflon manufacturing town. What's in Teflon? PFOA.
WANG: Hickey paid to have water samples tested for PFOA, and results showed levels higher than the Environmental Protection Agency's recommendation, 400 parts per trillion. Follow-up tests found levels 45 times higher than that near the factory. Then last November, the EPA told the town to stop drinking its water.
KATHLEEN REECE: It didn't have to be this way. This is a beautiful little town. It's heartbreaking.
WANG: That's Kathleen Reece. She's lived in Hoosick Falls for more than a decade, and she's continued taking shorter showers even as filtration brought PFOA down to non-detectable levels. Yesterday, she and her neighbors got an update from state officials. They declared the tap water safe to drink again. Other places are still dealing with PFOA, including other parts of upstate New York, New Hampshire and Vermont.
Soil testers here in North Bennington recently sampled dirt from a home that has a private well with elevated PFOA levels according to the state standards. Richard Spiese is overseeing this operation for the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation.
RICHARD SPIESE: Once we started getting drinking water results, people were like, well, what about our gardens? What about the soils around our homes?
WANG: Just some of the many questions that government officials are scrambling to answer, and they're playing catch-up. PFOA has been around for almost 70 years. A study by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention detected small amounts of PFOA in the blood of more than 98 percent of Americans. That's because for decades, it was used to make things like nonstick pans, stain-resistant carpets and even microwave popcorn bags.
PHILIPPE GRANDJEAN: It stays in the body for many, many years, and it turns out to interact with processes in our body.
WANG: Philippe Grandjean of the Harvard School of Public Health studies PFOA. He's found it can interfere with children's immune systems and make them less responsive to vaccines. Other studies have shown a probable link between the chemical and some types of cancer. Grandjean's concerned that its presence may be more widespread than initially thought now that the Pentagon is checking more than 600 military sites where water may be contaminated with PFOA.
GRANDJEAN: This not just a local problem. This is a problem which I am sure occurs in every single state.
WANG: Companies like DuPont and 3M have been sued for contaminating water with PFOA in places like West Virginia, Ohio and Alabama. The EPA has pushed companies to clean up contaminated sites, and many manufacturers in the U.S. have stopped using the chemical. Still, there's a lot researchers don't understand about PFOA.
JANET FOLEY: We don't know how it moves.
WANG: Janet Foley teaches chemistry at Bennington College. She's studying how the chemical interacts with the environment.
FOLEY: We also don't know what concentrations really are going to incur a health risk.
WANG: And she says PFOA is not unique. In fact, there are a lot of other industrial chemicals we don't know much about.
FOLEY: We're so interested in making lots of new stuff. In order to do that, it needs many, many different kinds of chemicals. A lot of times, we don't know the questions to ask.
WANG: The question now is exactly likely how much PFOA is safe to drink? The EPA has been trying to answer that for years. Currently, there are no enforceable regulations from the federal government. The EPA says to set those standards it needs more research on how PFOA impacts humans, but it is working on new recommendations. Hansi Lo Wang, NPR News.

The time it takes to process a transfer varies, based on how many items have been uploaded, how quickly you submit them, and how fast we can collect them and approve them.

After you submit a transfer, we initiate a request to your bank or card account to send us the funds. Submitting a transfer is your authorization for us to pull funds from your bank or card account, and we try to get it in motion as quickly as possible.
This process usually takes 3-4 business days (for clearing), while your bank or card account transmits funds to us. During this time, the money may show up as debited from your account even though Transfast has not yet received the funds.
While we are waiting for the funds, our Account Security and transfer review process continues. As soon as we get the clearance and your transfer has been approved, we push the money for payout so it can be sent to your recipient.

Completed – Your transfer has been picked up or received by your recipient.
Cancelled – Your transfer has been cancelled either by you or by Account Security team. Our payout partner may also have been unable to complete your transfer. This may happen in the case of a cash pick up, if funds have not been collected by the recipient within 30 days of being sent.
When will my money transfer arrive?
To check on the status of your transfer, simply sign in to your account, and visit your dashboard. We do our best to get your transfer through our account security review as quickly as possible. There is an estimated date listed on tour transaction receipt that should give you a good idea of when the money should arrive at its destination.
Why did I not get a verificication email?
We will send you an email and SMS (text message), and your recipient an SMS when a transfer is initiated. If we have the correct email and mobile numbers on file, you should get the alerts automatically. If you do not receive any alerts, please contact Customer Support for assistance.
Why is my money transfer delayed?
Will I be notified when funds are available for my recipient?
We send you an email and SMS (text message), and your recipient will receive an SMS when the money is available for pick up or deposited into an account.

A little more about The Martian
Kallen Kentner
There's a lot of buzz about The Martian, and for good reason.
Just found out @tddewey was up all night: He had to finish the off-world survival story "The Martian" by Andy Weir (@CrownPublishing)
— GeekyLibrary (@GeekyLibrary) February 19, 2014
Aaand this is happening shortly… RT @GeekyLibrary: Coffee is a good cure for those all-night book benders. #OhGawdIReadTheWholeBook
— Taylor D Dewey (@tddewey) February 19, 2014
Published in hardcover on February 11th by Crown Publishing, it debuted at number 12 on the New York Times Bestseller list for hardcover fiction.
This is the old cover of Weir's self-published book.
But here's a twist: The Martian was actually originally self-published in 2012.
According to a Wall Street Journal article, Weir posted the book for free on his website, but then started selling on Amazon (at the minimum price, 99 cents) at the request of fans.
It quickly landed a top spot on the bestselling sci-fi list.
Our review of The Martian rated it 5 stars and included a public apology to an unnamed barista for listening to the reviewer rhapsodize about it.
Crown Publishing purchased the rights to the Martian in March 2013 for six figures. Twentieth Century Fox has also optioned the film rights and hired Drew Goddard to direct.
Shelf Awareness posted an interview with the author, Andy Weir on February 18th.

Kentucky Republican Sen. Rand Paul tells Breitbart News Hillary Clinton is not in good health and she has not been forthright about her health challenges.Paul, who has continued as a practicing eye surgeon since his 2010 election to the Senate, says it's impossible to reach a conclusion about someone's health without an actual examination. "I think she has some significant health problems–I don't know what they are," he said. "Her losing consciousness, there, which by all appearances she did lose consciousness, is not something commonly associated with pneumonia," the surgeon said. Rand Paul who is originally a doctor and still is to this day, would likely know that Hillary's pneumonia diagnosis is pure garbage...Likely due to the fact he has seen people with the sickness during his years as being a doctor. He is absolutely right that losing consciousness is not a symptom of pneumonia in the first place. Common symptoms of pneumonia tend to be cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and difficulty breathing. Sorry Hillary but collapsing constantly and needing support to stand up and constant weird head spasms are not symptoms of pneumonia, these are signs that Hillary is likely dying and has a neurological disorder...Which should mean she should be ineligible to serve. Multiple doctors have also stated that Non contagious pneumonia doesn't even exist, like always with Hillary's health news pundits and the Hillary campaign are making up her diagnosis to cover up the fact that shes probably dying due to a major neurological disorder.


Platform9's addition of support for vSphere is the first SaaS-managed provider of Kubernetes on vSphere. While Pivotal's Pivotal Container Service (PKS) can run on top of vSphere, it is a self-hosted solution.
According to Platform9, their managed solution is provided with a 99.9% uptime SLA guarantee and round the clock live monitoring of the service. As part of their service offering, Platform9 will address all necessary patching, upgrades, and management.
This new service integrates with Fission, Platform9's serverless framework for Kubernetes. It also is supported by their existing UI that provides a view across your managed clusters and hosting centers.
As with many of the hosted Kubernetes solutions, Platform9's installation of Kubernetes is pulled from the open source Kubernetes repository with no code forks. Kubernetes maintains a list of hosted solution providers on their website.
Along with vSphere, Platform9's Kubernetes service also supports Linux/KVM, OpenStack, AWS, Google Cloud, Azure, as well as a bare metal integration. More details on their managed Kubernetes offering as well as vSphere support can be found on Platform9's website.

I can honestly say that throughout all the comic book themed films, I have never been particularly excited about Spider Man and hearing that they were doing a reboot, my opinion didn't change.
Peter Parker (Andrew Garfield) is on the path to find what happened to his parents after he finds a clue to their whereabouts. These clues eventually lead him to Dr. Curt Connors (Rhys Ifans) and his laboratory where Parker inevitably gets bitten by a spider. After becoming Spider Man he carries on looking for more information about his parents and battling the new creature that is wreaking havoc, with his girlfriend Gwen Stacy (Emma Stone) by his side.
Although I'm not huge fan of Spider Man and the concept around him, I've always watched the movies. I must admit I did quite enjoy the previous trio of Spider Man films directed by Sam Raimi with Peter Parker played by Tobey Maguire. There were obviously issues with these films, as they weren't as true to the comics as they could've been. Therefore I wanted to see this reboot in order to see if they would veer away even more from the comics or indulge into them.
I was impressed that Marc Webb (500 Days Of Summer) had managed to make this film a lot more like the comics than Raimi had achieved. Personally this instantly made this film better than the previous trio as I prefer stories to stay to their original plot line.
Andrew Garfield also proved himself in this film (to me anyway!) as he managed to get the right characteristics of both Peter Parker and Spider Man. Parker being the shy and geeky college boy and Spider Man being the cool and cocky superhero. Tobey Maguire didn't capture the two personalities quite as well as Garfield did.
Even though I wasn't ecstatic about watching this film, I was pleasantly surprised. If you liked the previous Spider Man films, then you'll absolutely love this one! If you're a complete comic nerd, then you'll like this, but I think you'll still pick out some faults!
