Musings – An American journey
By Anna Maria Aniban
The first time I was asked this question was in the early 70s. A new bride at 22, I was being introduced by my white, blue-eyed husband (now ex) to his family and friends in the south. Our host's mother was proud to recount her travels to SEA, India, and other parts of that world. Then, she turned to me and said, "We didn't have time to see your country but someday, I would like to meet your people." It was a compliment I thought for someone to show interest in my country. Just a week ago, I was still in my country.
A decade past, divorced with an American passport obtained not through marriage but by choice, basking in the glory of reaching an upper middle management position in a Fortune 500 company, it was a pleasure to go in and out of mainstream white society with ease. This was in the early 80s when equal employment opportunity was aggressively enforced and a female with the right qualifications, no matter what ethnic background, was "pushed" into management. A few remarked on the beauty of a flawless naturally tanned complexion, shiny long black hair, fluid command of the English language, and an ability to banter effortlessly with a touch of the American sense of humor.
But times really haven't changed that much from the 70s. Invited to a catered afternoon tea party on the Upper West Side, a lovely blonde who left the corporate world to be a successful chef, casually asked me, "When are you going to visit your country again?" She knew that I loved to travel and we were just talking about my recent vacation in Switzerland. It was the first time the reference to "your country" created a mental and an emotional stir.
"Your country?" I felt like an outsider and yearned to belong.

Peter Cooper filmmaker takes aim at gun violence
Jamie Kirkpatrick
Jamie Kirkpatrick, a Peter Cooper Village dad and an editor and filmmaker, was a college student in Boston when he and a group of friends were held up at gunpoint.
The perps were a pair of teenagers who demanded cash from Kirkpatrick and his friends as they had walked down the street. Seeing the gun in the older teen's hand, which looked more like a toy or, as Kirkpatrick put it "a fake Hollywood gun," the students initially ignored the muggers' demand and kept walking. That's when they heard the deafening blast of a warning shot being fired into the air. The gun, Kirkpatrick would later learn, was a semi-automatic assault pistol, "not your typical street gun."
But, he added, "Part of the problem is that it looked like such a toy."
No one in the group was hit, but at that point, they stopped in their tracks and were subsequently robbed.
The teens were later caught, however. The younger one, who was 15, did some time in a juvenile detention center and was later transferred to an adult jail, while his partner, who was 17 and had a previous gun conviction, was tried as an adult and sentenced to eight years.
"It was really sad. They were just two young kids," said Kirkpatrick, who, two decades later, plans on making a short film about the lax gun laws in many areas of the country as well as irresponsible gun use.
The film, titled "Squeeze," isn't a documentary but rather a fictional story on the consequences of the aforementioned issues. It focuses on how a gun that's owned by a convicted felon and father winds up in the hands of all the different members of his family.

Lady Bulldogs advance to Region 1-A title game
The Lady Bulldogs secured their spot in the Region 1-A title game as well as in Monday's sectional action with a 55-40 victory over North Greene on Friday night in the Region 1-A semifinals at Chuckey-Doak High School.
"We kept them in the game," Hampton Head Coach Bud Hazelwood said. "They are a good team and well-coached. James does a tremendous job. I haven't slept much the past two or three days knowing we were going up against them. We shot the ball well, and played some pretty good defense tonight. We are lucky we scored enough points to hang out."
Hampton will now square off against South Greene for the title on Saturday evening.
Kim Swearingen opened the scoring for the Lady Bulldogs, and helped cap an 8-2 run to open the game along with an Alexus Grubbs jumper. After Grubbs added a trey, North Greene added four free throws to cut the Hampton lead to 11-8 at the end of the first quarter.
The Lady Huskies trimmed the lead to one to open the second quarter. However Grubbs answered with an inside shot and Alexis Bowers and Swearingen added points to help Hampton pull back out to a 19-14 lead at the half.
Tatum Street kicked off the third quarter with back-to-back buckets as Hampton took a 10-point lead two and a half minutes in the quarter with a 7-2 run. North Greene answered with four straight points, but Bowers and Shyanne Tuelle responded with points for the Lady Bulldogs. The teams traded points for the rest of the quarter to give Hampton a 33-27 lead heading into the final period.
Madi Weir and Bowers opened the final period with baskets and a Grubbs 3-pointer pushed the lead back to double-digits. Swearingen kicked off 7-3 run before North Greene slowly cut into the lead to pull within eight points. However, Hampton ended the game on an 8-1 run to secure the win.
Grubbs powered the way with 18 points. Swearingen and Tuelle had 13 and 11 points, respectively.
Katelyn Weems led North Greene with 13 points.
The Lady Bulldogs will now turn their attention to South Greene with a home substate game on the line.
"South Greene is tough, but if we weren't doing it again we would be going home," Hazelwood said. "I am tickled to be playing them again."


We are busy getting ready to celebrate Thanksgiving here in the States AND Hanukkah! We'll light the first candle on Wednesday night and have the family together for a Thanksgiving feast on Thursday. With blessings and gratitude we continue to celebrate all week. And our unique and special Hanukkah favorite: burmuelos – delightful, light, fried dough pillows bathed in a light, sweet syrup.
This year we will gather for Thanksgiving and sharing the second night of Hanukkah ….. Turkey with all the trimmings AND my mom will make fresh burmuelos!!!

London Embracing Square Mile Broadband Innovation
London's "Square Mile" city centre is a hotbed of economic activity and cultural development. It is not all that great when it comes to superfast broadband. London ranks 26th out of 33 European capitals for broadband speed, according to a recent report published by City A.M. But city officials intend to change that.
City A.M. reports that the City of London Corporation is on the cusp of launching a brand-new wi-fi network capable of achieving speeds as high as 180 Mbps within the Square Mile. If the plan comes to fruition, it will make London's city centre one of the fastest places in Europe for wi-fi internet access.
In addition, the government will be investing millions of pounds in the Square Mile over the next few years to upgrade fibre optic networks capable of delivering internet at 1 GB per second. City leaders have their eyes firmly focused on 5G wireless as well, with the intent of ensuring that mobile data services are the fastest in the world.
By February, City of London Corporation chair Catherine McGuinness says some 7,500 residents in 12 City Corporation housing estates will enjoy upgraded fibre optic. London eventually expects to expand the faster broadband throughout the City's seven boroughs.
Broadband the Future of Communications
So why exactly is the City of London pouring so much money into broadband and mobile communications? In a phrase, it is the future of communications. The UK has long been a technology leader in broadband and data delivery services and city officials want London to be at the forefront in both the short and long terms. City leaders believe it is worth the money to develop broadband and mobile services in the Square Mile.
You could make the case that part of the recent push by the City of London Corporation is a direct result of 2016's Brexit vote in as much as experts are warning of a business exit from the capital once the UK pulls out of the EU. Whether that exit actually occurs is of no consequence in this regard. Simply the fear of an exit is enough to spur city leaders to do whatever they can to encourage more businesses to stay in the city. If that means upgraded fibre optic broadband networks and faster wi-fi and mobile services, so be it.
Faster broadband and mobile services in the Square Mile area will certainly benefit local residents and businesses and it will benefit the rest of the UK as well. Over time, what is implemented in the City of London will gradually spread across the entire UK. The only question is whether it will happen fast enough to make us the legitimate leader in Europe.
Irrespective of if it does or not, London's city leaders believe it is imperative to keep the Square Mile at the cutting-edge of communications. They are backing up those beliefs with money; now we will see what that money buys. Hopefully it buys remarkably faster data services very soon.

Court Clears Way for New Apple Data Centre in Ireland
The Commercial Court with jurisdiction over County Galway in western Ireland recently dismissed two cases, clearing the way for Apple to take the next steps in developing a group of data centres planned for the county. Apple will spend upwards of €850 million (£762 million) to build the 8-facility campus.
New reports say that two law suits were brought against the project after the local Board gave its permission back in August. Commercial Court justice Paul McDermott rejected the lawsuits on different grounds. Apple may now proceed, though there is still no guarantee that the data centres will be built. Other hurdles will have to be cleared.
Local Objections
The first lawsuit to challenge Apple's plan was brought by a local couple whose home is located near the proposed site. They claimed that Apple failed to carry out a proper environmental impact assessment, making the original Board decision invalid. Justice McDermott disagreed.
The second case was brought by another local resident who believed that proper planning procedures were not being followed. The plaintiff claimed to not be opposed to Apple's plans per se, he was just convinced that there were some planning procedure issues. Apple maintained that the plaintiff had made no submissions to the Galway County Council in opposition to the project, nor had he appealed to the local Board. The Commercial Court sided with Apple.
Big Plans by Apple
Since the project was first proposed, Apple has had big plans for Galway. They have maintained all along that building the new data centres will add hundreds of jobs to the local area while also helping to meet the growing demand for data processing and storage in Ireland.
Apple has not detailed exactly what they plan to do with the data centre, but it is not beyond the realms of possibility to assume it could be a very important data processing hub for the British Isles, if not most of Western Europe. Some news reports have speculated that Apple wants to use the new facilities to power everything from the iTunes Store to iMessage throughout Europe.
Irish Minister for community development Seán Kyne greeted the Commercial Court ruling with delight, calling it "very positive news for Galway and the West of Ireland." He and some 4,000 local members of an Apple Facebook page are encouraged by the ruling, especially given that the project has been delayed numerous times over the past two years.
It is understandable that there are objections whenever a data centre of this size is proposed. However, the courts have to be very careful about ruling based on public opinion. The digital world is expanding exponentially with every passing quarter and we are going to need a lot more data centres in the very near future to keep up with demand. Unless the world is ready to go back to the pre-digital era, both consumers and courts have to be willing to allow data centres to be built.

New Microsoft Data Centre Powered by Natural Gas
No matter what you think of Microsoft software and licencing, it is hard to argue against the fact that the American company is among a small handful of technology leaders paving the way to a greener future. The latest iteration of Microsoft's efforts in the green arena come by way of a brand-new data centre – they are calling it a 'lab' instead – powered entirely by natural gas.
Built in Seattle in the United States, Microsoft's Advanced Energy Lab is a new kind of data centre designed around Microsoft's decades-old 'Tent City' concept. What makes the lab so unique is the fact that it was built from the ground up with the goal of being completely separate from grid infrastructure. Microsoft officials say this is a distinct difference in as much as other efforts to use renewable energy to power data centres have been pursued in parallel with grid energy. Microsoft wanted to be the first to come up with a design that required absolutely no power from the grid.
Natural Gas and Fuel Cells
The Advanced Energy Lab powers its servers with energy derived from natural gas. Servers are hooked directly to a natural gas connection that utilises highly efficient fuel cells for power. The fuel cells convert energy from the gas into electricity for both server power and cooling. The benefits to this design are numerous:
Keeping power separate from the grid allows the data centre to continue operating even if the surrounding grid goes down due to natural disaster or infrastructure failure
The system is more efficient because it reduces the waste and loss of traditional grid distribution, transmission and conversion
The design is a comparatively simple one as well, reducing the likelihood of failure by reducing the number of 'moving parts' in the system
Data centres based on this design will cost less to build, operate and maintain across-the-board
Microsoft began working on the lab in earnest after developing a partnership with the National Fuel Cell Research Centre in 2013. Their first promising breakthrough came in 2014 when a pilot project proved that fuel cells do not necessarily require clean natural gas to work. The pilot proved that biogas, a renewable fuel, would work just as effectively.
According to Microsoft, the Advanced Energy Lab encapsulates everything the company has learned thus far about natural gas and fuel cells working in tandem to generate electricity. In the coming months and years, they will be refining the technology with the goal of eventually putting it into service.
Microsoft eventually hopes to put together an energy-independent, green and efficient data centre, capable of meeting our ever-expanding data needs without having any negative impact on the environment. It would appear as though the Advanced Energy Lab is a rather large step in that direction. Where they go from here is anyone's guess, but you can bet whatever Microsoft does will probably break new ground. If nothing else, it will be fascinating to watch…

4. Impact of the Governing Board September 2021-August 2022
At the start of the academic year the Chair and Vice Chair conducted a skills audit assessment of all the current governors. This involved an online questionnaire followed by an individual video call to really understand governors' motivations, values and priorities from their valuable role. This gave us the opportunity to review our roles and the experience, knowledge and skills we individually bring to the Board, ensuring there are no gaps that could affect our efficient governance of the school.
We have recruited three new members to the board to replace some of our valued governors who have now left and have provided support and mentoring as needed to help these new governors to fulfil their roles.
The school priorities in the improvement plan are discussed regularly and governors monitor and evaluate the effectiveness of the school improvement plan. The priorities for the academic year were as follows:
1 - Prepare and build confidence in staff, governors and pupils for a potential Ofsted visit
2 - Ensure the delivery of the curriculum across school is exceptional overall
3 - Improve the school assessment system to ensure a consistent approach is delivered across the school and that the most accurate assessments are made in core and foundation subjects
4 - Implement the new EYFS curriculum and changes to evidence collection in Reception
5 - To improve support for pupils eligible for Pupil Premium and improve engagement of some non-PP families to ensure pupils always make the greatest gains possible.
The governing board strive to support the school in a strategic role in ensuring that the fulfilment of these priorities. Examples of this activity are given below:
At the start of the academic year each governor was given responsibility for the oversight of a specific curriculum area. Governors spent time reviewing the National Curriculum and the school policies and publications relating to that subject. Armed with that understanding governors spent time with subject leaders and in some cases, time observing lessons, seeing the resources and provision available for the subject and speaking to pupils. We are really pleased to see the level of governor engagement (and therefore knowledge) increase now that we are able to make in-person visits to school.
Conversations with staff have also been a great opportunity for them to vocalise their knowledge and both staff and governors to grow in confidence in preparation for Ofsted. Governors prepared specific detailed visit reports which have been circulated between all members of the Governing Board. Governors are confident that school goes to great lengths to ensure the curriculum is accessible for all pupils as far as is possible. We always ensure discussions with subject leads include understanding how Pupil Premium, SEN pupils and those not making age related progress are catered for and where possible evidence shown for plans to dimmish the gap. Targeted interventions such as the use of the tutoring and inclusion teams have been successful as has the schools swift understanding and focus on initiatives to build skills lost during the pandemic.
The SATS results achieved this year were excellent and pupils and staff across the school should be congratulated on the outcomes particularly in achieving such fantastic results after facing the challenges posed by the pandemic.
This year the school went through a substantial process of 'deep dives' into subject areas, providing a good opportunity for staff and pupils to vocalise learning and knowledge retention and recall; supporting the whole school focus on oracy. Reports from these deep dives have been provided to the Governing Board giving the curriculum content against intent / implementation / impact the scrutiny it deserves.
Governors have welcomed presentations from subject leaders at the beginning of each Teaching, Learning and Pupil Support Committee meetings as a valuable addition to develop knowledge and confidence on the curriculum. It has been agreed that these will continue in the new academic year.
School appears to be settling into using the new phonics scheme (Essential Letters and Sounds) well. We believe content and delivery are certainly matching expectations and, overall, the scheme appears to be assisting in accelerating learning. We have a designated governor responsible for early reading and phonics who feeds back observations to the Governing Body.
Governors have a key role to play in ensuring pupil attainment is monitored and maximised. Teaching, Learning and Support Committee have termly access to pupil outcomes, progress and predictions by year group, including predictions for specific cohorts and groups including SEND, pupil premium and EAL. There has been regular data provided and good use of assessment this year from a variety of formal sources including SATs and NFER, Phonics screening and as well as teacher formative assessments. Governors agreed that next year the scheduled of meetings should be better aligned with the data capture points and the SATs results.
Safeguarding visits have been conducted throughout the year. In an initial visit to school, the safeguarding lead governor Kathryn Wilkinson identified that some aspects of record keeping were not as rigorous as they should be, and that the leadership of safeguarding was not as strong as it could be, although it was clear that the culture of safeguarding in school was strong. The headteacher and deputy headteacher were aware that changes needed to be made. All suggestions noted in the report were quickly addressed and evidence provided at the subsequent visit.
The link governor for Equalities has made visits to school throughout the year and had opportunity to meet with the Equality Council and PSHE and Equalities Lead both of which provided clear evidence of the extent to which school embraces and celebrates equality, diversity and inclusion in school e.g. whole school celebrations, pupil wall displays and themed assemblies.
School has a strong reputation for supporting SEN children based on a principle of inclusion by default and multi-agency specialist support is secured as appropriate to facilitate equal access; all support interventions are tailored to the individual needs of the pupil. With regards to Pupil Premium pupils, trips and visits are subsidised by school (as long as parents/ carers are in receipt of benefits) to ensure they are able to access the full extent of activity.
The PSHE / RSHE is embedded throughout the curriculum from Reception to Y6 and is designed to equip children with relevant life skills with regards to being able to keep themselves safe (physically and emotionally), understand and appreciate difference and how to communicate this.
School has a very active Equality Council, which supports children in challenging discriminatory behaviours of any type, this continued awareness helps maintain the momentum and means that such behaviours seldom escalate or become sustained. Next year school will focus on the RED (Respect Equality & Diversity) Award.
School follows best practice with regards to recruitment and senior staff and 3 Governors have attended relevant recruitment training, including Safer Recruitment provided by LCC which are union endorsed. All staff have undergone SEN, Inclusion, EPI Pen and Disability training.
As a governing body, we continue to review policies and procedures to ensure that these are fit for purpose and meet not only our legal responsibilities but also our vision and aims for the school and our pupils. The children and staff remain at the forefront of our decisions as we endeavour to provide the best educational environment for them.
We continue to closely monitor the school budget to ensure the school can cope with rising costs. Whilst savings have been made due to the pandemic and the school is fortunate to have a relatively healthy carry forward. Over the next three years there is significant capital expenditure planned all of which will be carefully planned and work tendered out. The much-needed renovation of the AV facilities in the School Hall will involve a significant outlay but will bring a benefit to learning and activities for the whole school.
Members of Resources have, as part of their role, monitored the use of the statutory ringfenced grants of both the sports and pupil premiums. All members of the Resources committee have taken part in a self-assessment financial skills audit. Working closely with the School Business Manager, we also reviewed and agreed the Schools Financial Value Standard, ensuring this was completed comprehensively before submitting to the local authority.
As we look forward to the 22/23 academic year, our focus will be on continuing to deliver our three core responsibilities:
Ensuring clarity of vision, ethos and strategic direction;
Holding executive leaders to account for the educational performance of the organisation and its pupils, and the effective and efficient performance management of staff; and
Overseeing the financial performance of the organisation and making sure its money is well spent.

Just imagine…you are in a deep body of water and the only way to survive is to tread or swim…for an hour…all the while being dunked, scratched, kicked and pulled. This scenario describes what my son endures nearly every spring day while playing the sport he loves: water polo. It is one intense game. Dang, I get exhausted just watching!
This weekend, his team had a tournament and it was my turn to bring snacks. Sure, I could have purchased prepackaged bars or treats for the team but that wouldn't have been as much fun! Instead, I wanted to make something that would help replenish the nutrients they would expend during the game and allow them to refuel for the next round.
My friend Lori shared a version of this Power Packed Protein Bar recipe with me. I knew this would be the ideal snack for this group of water polo playing teenagers with voracious appetites!
These bars are made with 5 simple and wholesome ingredients. They are concentrated in protein, fiber and many vitamins and minerals, making them incredibly healthy. At about 200 calories per bar, they may not be a choice for those following a very low-calorie diet plan. But anyone looking for a nutrient-rich, power-packed nutrition bar to help with endurance and sustained energy throughout the day, these are perfect!
The results of the tourney? Our kids ended up in the championship round. Great job team!
In a microwave safe bowl, combine peanut butter and honey, and microwave until melted, about 1 min.
Add in protein powder, oats and dried fruit of choice. Mix well.
Line 9x13 pan with waxed paper. Press bar mixture into pan.
Chill for 1 hour, cut into 18 squares.

The latest on the Covid-19 pandemic and vaccines
Indian states have been advised to declare mucormycosis — also known as black fungus — as a "notifiable disease" so data may be collated at a national level, Lav Agarwal secretary of the Indian Ministry of Health said at a news conference Thursday.
At least seven states including Gujarat, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Odisha, Haryana and Karnataka have already done so, according to respective state government authorities.
In the past few weeks, thousands of black fungus cases have been reported across the country, with hundreds hospitalized and at least 90 dead.
Many of those being infected are coronavirus patients, or those who have recently recovered from Covid-19, whose immune systems have been weakened by the virus or who have underlying conditions — most notably diabetes.
Black fungus commonly affects the sinuses or lungs after inhaling fungal spores in the air, and can also affect the skin after a surface injury like a cut or burn. Symptoms depend on where in the body the fungus is growing, but can include facial swelling, fever, skin ulcers and and black lesions in the mouth.
Request for supplies: With hospitals across the country facing a shortage of the drug used to treat black fungus, citizens across India have taken to Twitter to ask for help.
Bhavya Reddy, a resident in India's southern Telangana state, said her father was diagnosed with black fungus on April 26 — the same day he recovered from Covid.
"Once he started to recover (from Covid) his face started to swell," Reddy said. "When the swelling did not reduce, (doctors) told us to get the injection."
The hospital did not have supply of Amphotericin B, and she had to appeal to the state's chief minister to receive vials of the drug, she said. Once the medicine was secured, her father underwent an endoscopic sinus surgery to relieve the swelling.
At least 150 cases of black fungus have been detected in Telangana, according to the state's director of health and family welfare.
Ahmedabad Civil Hospital in Gujarat state has 369 patients with black fungus. On average, 25 to 30 surgeries are performed daily, according to J. V. Modi, medical superintendent at the hospital.
What the government is doing: India's government has acknowledged there has been a shortage of Amphotericin B, the drug used for treating black fungus.
Mansukh Mandaviya, a junior minister of the Ministry of Chemicals and Fertilizers, tweeted on Thursday adding that five companies in India have been approved to produce the drug, in addition to an existing six.

Q: C++ memory protect pointers Is it possible to "memory protect" pointers so that it's actually impossible to change them in the code, so that attempting to change them in the code results in a bus error? I am not referring to const but some type of deeper immutability assurance on the OS level. The question applies to any OS.
(Carmack mentions something like that here: https://youtu.be/Uooh0Y9fC_M?t=1h41m)

A: Since your question is quite general, here are some general ideas.
From within your application, the language gives you a number of constructs to protect your data. For example, data that is not meant to be exposed should be flagged as private. This does not prevent clients from reverse engineering your class though, for example if you have
class C {
  public:  int a;
  private: int b;
};

then usually you will be able to access b through int* pB = &(c.a) + 1. This is not standard by any definition, but on most systems this will probably work. In general, because C++ allows very low-level memory management you can basically access any part of your applications memory from anywhere within the application, though making sensible (ab)use of this requires some reverse engineering.
When you expose public data, you can return const references and pointers, but of course it is very easy to still change this memory:
const* T myImmutable = new T();
const_cast<T*>(myImmutable)->change(); // Oops

Again, this is not standard C++ as compilers will use the const qualifier to perform optimizations, and things may break when you circumvent that, but the language does not stop you from doing this.
If you want to protect your memory from external changes, things become a bit trickier. In general, the OS makes sure that the memory assigned to different processes is separated and you cannot just go and write in the memory space of other processes. However, there are some functions in the Windows API (Read/WriteProcessMemory) that one may use. Of course, this requires heavy reverse engineering to determine exactly where in memory the pointer to be changed is located, but it is possible. Some ways of protecting against this are VirtualProtect, as mentioned in Dani's answer. There are increasingly complex things that you can do, like keeping checksums of important data or

[writing a] driver that monitors the SSDT and then catches when WriteProcessMemory or ReadProcessMemory is executed and you can squash those calls if they're pointed at the game

but as the first answer on the page I found that on correctly points out:

Safety doesn't exist. The only thing you can do is make it as hard as possible to crack

which is a lesson that you should never forget!

Here's what will change after marriage.
My wife and I have been married for 10 years this year, so we've been filing taxes as married filing jointly for some time now. While it isn't very confusing for me anymore, I can still remember those first couple of years filing as a married couple, and how we weren't sure whether we were doing things right — or if we would be better off filing separately.
So how do your taxes change when you go from single to married? What things should newlyweds consider after their big day?
One interesting thing about getting married and taxes is that if your nuptials take place at the end of the year, even on the last day of the year, you're still considered married for the entire year.
One of the first things you'll need to do when filing is to choose what your filing status will be. For most people, married filing jointly will be the best choice and will save money on taxes. Married filing separately will often mean losing certain deductions and a more complicated filing in many states. There are some exceptions, however, when filing separately will result in a larger return.
Your best bet is to use an online tax preparation software program to do your taxes using both filing statuses. That way you can use hard numbers to easily compare which filing status is more beneficial for your situation.
Additionally, however, there are certain changes you should be aware of when you go from single filing to joint.
One thing a lot of folks don't think about is that they might need to adjust the withholding on their paychecks when they get married to avoid a surprise hit when the tax deadline arrives. Getting married and having a dual-income household can mean that your tax rate will go up along with your combined income. If you don't adjust your withholding using the W4 form, you might end up owing a big tax bill come April.
Your best bet is to figure out what your withholding should be via the IRS withholding calculator, and then adjusting your paycheck withholding as soon as you can.
If you're changing your name when you get married, you'll also need to deal with the hassle of updating all the government records with your new name. Make sure the Social Security Administration is notified of your name change, otherwise your taxes could be rejected because the name and Social Security number on your return don't match.
Also, don't forget to update your address if you moved when you got married. You can do that in advance by notifying the IRS with Form 8822, or just update it when you file.
Some people will receive a higher tax bill when they get married than they would have if they filed separately. Some people call this the "marriage penalty" — when a couple has similar incomes, the combined income from the joint return will bump them up into a new tax bracket, resulting in higher taxes.
The flip side of the coin is that in some instances, when there is a big difference in income, a joint return can actually mean a marriage bonus of sorts. For example, if one spouse earns over $89,350 and is in the 25 percent tax bracket for single filers, all income over $36,900 would be taxed at that rate. If he gets married to someone who earns less than $59,500 per year, their entire income would still be taxed at 25 percent instead of 28 percent, the next bracket, because the marginal tax rates for married filing joint returns are higher.
When you get married, you'll see a lot of changes happening in your life, and taxes are no exception. You'll need to update your information, figure out how to file, adjust withholding and more. It can be daunting, but once you've done it that first year it gets easier every time.
