Home > VAT > What Does the VAT Rise Mean for Me?
The VAT increase has been one of the most talked-about changes implemented by the coalition government. It has caused furious debate in Parliament and in public, with many people suggesting that it hits the poorest hardest.
Regardless of arguments, the VAT rise has happened and it looks like it is here to stay. It is important that you understand the rise, and how it impacts on you.
In his June 2010 Budget, Chancellor George Osborne announced that the headline rate of VAT would increase from 17.5% to 20%. The move caused significant political problems for the government, with opposition politicians claiming that the increase was regressive, and would affect those with the lowest incomes most significantly.
The increase came into force on 4 January 2011. From this date, VAT-Registered Businesses were obliged to charge the 20% rate – although this does not necessarily mean that the price you pay has changed.
In short, consumers will see a rise in prices. At a time when inflation is increasing anyway, this will be an unwelcome strain on many peoples' bank balances.
It is important to understand how the change affects prices. Many businesses claim to have 'absorbed' the VAT increase, or have promised not to pass it on to consumers. But what does this mean?
Businesses are obliged to charge VAT at 20%. But, rather than putting up their prices, some businesses have chosen to absorb the increase. This means that their profit margin drops a bit, and you end up paying the same.
It is worth noting, though, that some businesses have used the increase as an excuse to push their prices up even further than the VAT rise would otherwise demand. Therefore, you may wish to spend a bit more time shopping around in order to make sure that you are not paying over the odds.
As a business owner, the VAT increase presents you with a couple of problems. To begin with, you need to think about whether you intend to absorb the increase, or pass it on to your customers.
There are three main factors to consider when making a decision. To begin with, can you afford it? If you can't afford to absorb the increase, there is nothing you can do. Second, what are your competitors doing? If they are passing the increase on, you might be able to secure extra custom by absorbing it. On the other hand, if they are absorbing it, you might lose custom by passing it on.
Finally, is price a big consideration for your customers? If you compete mainly on other grounds, like quality of service, there may be little benefit for you in absorbing the increase.
You should also consider your suppliers. Have they passed on the increase? If so, can you get a better deal by shopping around?
The VAT increase has impacted on everyone's life in some way. You need to consider how best to mitigate the impact on your wallet.

The Democratic Socialists of America and Their Anti-Semitism Problem
Daniel Greenfield September 05, 2018
"Like most American Jews, I was raised with the delusion that Israel was a safe haven for me," Julia Salazar wrote on Mondoweiss, an anti-Semitic hate site, while denouncing the Jewish State.
Salazar's rant had appeared on a racist site whose creator had complained that his publication had been banned from DailyKos because of "my repeated insistence on talking about the large Jewish presence in the American establishment and the importance of Jewish money in the political process" and one of whose editors had declared, "I do not consider myself an anti-Semite, but I can understand why some are."
In reality, Salazar had been baptized as a Catholic, her uncle was a Jesuit priest, and her brother made it clear that no one in the family was Jewish. The Jewish part of her past was as fake as the rest.
And it was this biography that the Democratic Socialists of America candidate was running on. The DSA had been hoping to turn Salazar into the next Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, with the support of radical lefties like Cortez, Cynthia Nixon and Zephyr Teachout by playing up her imaginary biography.
But Salazar, a socialist candidate running for the State Senate in New York, had lied about that, and nearly everything else. Caught on video, claiming, "I immigrated to this country when I was little," she had actually been born in Miami to an Italian-American mother and a Columbian immigrant father. Despite growing up in a mansion, she claimed to have a working class background. Her mother and her brother between them tore up most of her fake biography of a hardscrabble, immigrant life.
But it was the original expose by The Tablet of Julia Salazar's lie about her Jewishness that started the flood. And the response from Salazar and her supporters was to accuse the Jewish community of racism.
Salazar, who had her own anti-Semitic history on Twitter, accused the Jewish publication that had exposed her appropriation of Jewish identity for anti-Semitic purposes of practicing, "race science." The socialist candidate and her supporters insisted that as a "woman of color", she was a victim of Jewish racism. The Democratic Socialists of America backed their candidate and repeated her anti-Jewish slurs.
Salazar's campaign had put out a statement claiming that the "fact that, as a woman of color, I am facing accusations that my deeply held identity is a false one says more about the politics of Jewish identity" and was an example of Jews practicing the "bigoted policing of the identity of Jewish people of color".
New York City DSA co-chair Bianca Cunningham echoed Salazar's anti-Semitic smear by dismissing outrage in the Jewish community as a question of "whether or not a woman of color can practice that religion."
Instead of apologizing for her misrepresentations and exploitation of the Jewish community, the DSA's socialist candidate had accused her Jewish critics of racism. And the DSA took up Salazar's smear.
Salazar's meltdown wasn't the first time that the Democratic Socialists of America had backed anti-Semitic candidates and then stood by them no matter how ugly their bigotry became.
On the other side of the country, DSA-LA continues to back Maria Estrada for California State Assembly District 63 despite her praise for Farrakhan, accusations that Jews were exploiting the Holocaust, and attacking a Jewish Democrat for not keeping "your party, your religion and your people in check."
"Anyone who believes they are one of 'God's chosen people' automatically feels superior and justified in all they do," Estrada ranted.
Estrada's racism was criticized by the Simon Wiesenthal Center, reported on in numerous Jewish publications, and yet the DSA and Bernie Sanders' Our Revolution, refused to withdraw their support. When contacted about her hateful views, both the local and national DSA, as well as the local and national Our Revolution organizations, failed to condemn Estrada.
Estrada's accusation that the Jews exploit the Holocaust was echoed by her fellow racist in New York. "These people exploit Holocaust for their hot takes," Salazar had tweeted.
The anti-Semitic rhetoric of Democratic Socialists of America candidates like Estrada and Salazar may be inevitable. The DSA views Corbyn's Labour, with its embrace of anti-Semitism, as its political model.
The DSA's 2017 convention featured a speaker from the Momentum movement within Labour, a subset which has been linked to much of the harassment of Jews in Labour. At his appearance, the DSA faithful burst out cheering for Jeremy Corbyn, an anti-Semitic bigot and terrorist supporter.
Rabbi Jonathan Sacks, the former Chief Rabbi, described Corbyn as an "existential threat" to British Jews, who gives "support to racists, terrorists and dealers of hate, who want to kill Jews and remove Israel from the map" and uses "the language of classic prewar European anti-Semitism."
"Anti-Semitism has returned to mainland Europe within living memory of the Holocaust," Rabbi Sacks warned.
This is the bigot whose name the DSA conference met with unrestrained applause on the same day that it voted to support BDS. Is it any wonder that the DSA has refused to condemn Estrada's anti-Semitism or Salazar's malicious smears of Jews?
The Labour speaker invited to the DSA conference was Marcus Barnett, who had cheered Venezuelan socialist dictator Nicolas Maduro. In addition to murdering protesters, seizing power and presiding over a country where there's no drinking water, power or food, Maduro had at one point demanded that "the Jews that live in our lands" do something to stop Israel.
Also at the DSA convention was a representative from Melenchon's France Insoumise. Melenchon's blatant anti-Semitism, was so bad that it was even condemned by members of the DSA's Jewish Caucus.
But instead of insisting that the DSA end its ties to an anti-Semitic movement, Lane Silberstein, a DSA and If Not Now member, weakly argued that, "Jewish socialists have had to contend with one of history's most egregious eras of antisemitism— from which the left was not immune in promoting — and yet they continued to proudly identify as socialists… we will carry on that tradition and not shy away from working with the left." The technical term for that is collaboration with anti-Semites.
Much as when D.C. Councilmember Trayon White accused the Jews of controlling the weather, the same leftist activists who rushed out to defend Salazar, Women's March's Sophie Ellman-Golan and If Not Now's Rafael Shimunov, came to his defense. White makes frequent appearances in editions of the Washington Socialist, the house organ of the MDCDSA, which has been able to lobby the D.C. racist.
It's not only Julia Salazar who fundamentally misrepresented her background. Salazar, like Ocasio-Cortez, is a bid at humanizing radical leftists and making their movements appear more approachable.
But what's behind the scenes is an ugly alt-left.
The same year that Corbyn's man showed up to be hailed by the DSA in Chicago, Bhaskar Sunkara, a former DSA vice chair and Jacobin Magazine publisher, ran a GoFundMe fundraiser to "Internationalize the DSA Convention".
Bhaskar's goal was to cover airfare for "members of Jeremy Corbyn's staff, Momentum, France Insoumise". The fundraiser's banner included the Soviet flag waving from a rifle barrel.
That's the same flag under which countless Jews were arrested, tortured, imprisoned in camps and murdered. It's the same flag under which Judaism and Hebrew were effectively outlawed. It's the flag of the regime that spread its anti-Semitic propaganda through the left at home and around the world.
After the Julia Salazar scandal broke, Bhaskar Sunkara announced that he was so outraged by a Jewish magazine's expose of the Socialist scammer that he would be donating to her campaign.
The DSA's anti-Semitism isn't accidental or sloppy. It's not just about Israel. It's ideological.
The Democratic Socialists of America attract anti-Semites for the same reason that Corbyn does. And, like Corbyn's Labour, it ignores the problem, attacks Jewish critics and covers for its hateful allies.
The media has made much of the rise of socialism. But the rise of the DSA won't just be dangerous for freedom and civil rights in this country. It will pose a threat to the safety and security of American Jews.
The DSA threatens to 'Corbynize' the Democrats into an anti-Semitic political movement.

Well Daniel, I have to admit I am a little tired of the "Black History Month" every year soon to be followed by the yearly "Holocaust" programing. Me doth think thou protest, so on and so on. As to the Salazar deal, you know Blacks, Hispanics and whatever minority will try to crowd Jews out of the victim, contest.
Marlene 7/9/18
The crazy is just getting worse.
I watched a talk given by Meir Kahane way back in the way back past. A past which would not recognize today: the Anti-semitic rhetoric that is beginning to permeate through our culture (brought on no doubt by the attitudes and beliefs of people of the Islamic faith who are attempting to overwhelm the West with their shear numbers, the ignorance of history, and the dumbing down of our younger generation so that they don't recognize BS when they hear it.)
Kahane talked about the beginning of the Jewish People. He talked about cultures and people's who developed their "tribes" based on geographical location and common interest in survival. The Jewish People, however, became a nation based on a single event. The revelation on Mount Sinai. The belief in one G-d. The Ten Commandments.
That's where the "chosen people" began. But what is not realized or recognized about being the "chosen" is that anyone, no matter who they are can "choose" to join the Chosen People. Anyone at all no matter what! What kind of "exclusive, elitist" group allows anyone who really wants to join to do so. Of course it must be sincere. Hard work and soul searching is involved. But the Jewish People consider ourselves Chosen not Exclusive, not elitist, not more special than anyone else. Just part of a group who believe that the Torah was written by the Lord above, that it is an Instruction Manuel on how to live a good life, and offers a way to fulfillment and beauty if you are willing to put in the work and the time to understand it, learn about it, and practice it.
With all that said - at this time of year I want to wish you Daniel and everyone else.
Shana Tova!!!!!

MikeN made quite a glib comment. I'm sick of glib comments, especially those with the time worn and arrogant "Me doth think thou protest" (look in the mirror, Mike), and punctuated with bad punctuation, e.g., victim, contest.
Your analysis is right on the money.

How Obama and Biden Destroyed the Greatest Military the World Has Ever Seen
Joseph R. Biden is directly responsible for the worst, most humiliating, most dangerous – yet completely avoidable - defeat in the history of American warfare. He has betrayed the country that elected him and that he is sworn to serve. Yet Biden has shown no remorse and taken no responsibility for the damage he has done.
Instead of strategizing to defeat our enemies, he's defeating America.

In Berlin and Erfurt, two murals belong to the people - People's World
A first glance sees an Indian village in Nicaragua with red-roofed huts, dogs, a spotted hog, chickens amidst beautiful tropical trees, flowers and birds in a jolly rural setting. But take a closer look and you see the fighter plane and the armed soldiers marauding through the village, masked villagers trying to protect it, panicked mothers and children – and the corpses. Monimbó was the first village to rise up in 1978 in defense against repression by the right-wing Somoza dynasty. It held out for a week against the well-armed foreign-born mercenaries, largely recruited in U.S. military magazines. Though finally defeated and destroyed, it became a symbol of the revolution which drove Somoza out in 1979. Some fifty mercenaries died in Monimbó, and 343 indigenous villagers, mostly women and children. A man born in that village became one of Nicaragua's best painters, certainly the best in the so-called "primitive school". After Somoza was beaten Manuel García Moia (born 1936) began painting his beautiful, color-rich murals at home and then, as his fame increased, in many cities of Europe, east and west. In 1985 East Berlin's borough of Lichtenberg, aided by the city and the GDR Ministry of Culture (the East German Democratic Republic still had five years to go before its demise) commissioned Moia to paint his mural on this conspicuous site. When the GDR collapsed in 1989, the mural survived.

Q: How php array will move to one dimension from two dimensional array Original array
Array ( [1147183647] => 3 [2147483242] => 1 )

expected out put
Array (1147183647,1147183647,1147183647,2147483242)

how can i expand array key base on their value

A: Loop over each key value pair and add the key to the output array for the value number of repitions:
$output = array();
$arr = array(1147183647 => 3, 2147483242 => 1);
foreach($arr as $v => $rep) {
  for($i = 0; $i < $rep; $i++) {
    $output[] = $v;
  }
}

A: slightly sexier than those using 2 loops is to use the built in array_fill function
<?php
$array = array(1147183647 => 3, 2147483242 => 1);

$new=array();
foreach ($array as $key=>$var){
$new= array_merge($new,array_fill(0,$var,$key));
}

print_r($new);

demo: http://codepad.viper-7.com/NTcDhC

A: Here is a simple snippet.
<?php

//initialize array
$array = array(
    "1147183647" => 3, "2147483242" => 1
    );

//new array to hold the values
$new =array();

foreach($array as $k=>$v){

    //echo $k."-".$v."<br>";
    for($i=0; $i<$v; $i++){
        $new[] = $k;
    }

}

//check the output
print_r($new);
?>

A: Try this.
$array = array(1147183647 => 3, 2147483242 => 1);

    $result=array();
    foreach ($array as $key=>$var){
        $result= array_merge($result,array_fill(0,$var,$key));
    }

    var_dump($result);

From scale it COULD be compatible, at least YKSRSK. it Would need some road connection. But YKSRSK uses "Objects" of Romania Extended, so it's not compatible at all.
I could take in account Roextended from the start to be PB compatible but the developement of that map it's so slow so i didnt want to be forced to make the Promods version of ROEX available just when PB updates. Despite the fact PB it's a Promods add-on, even Promods overlaped their work. Anyway i think next DLC will cover also the territory from Pecs to Romania so all 3 maps (PM, PB, ROEX) will have problems with it.
was bad. Lots of invisible walls and other stuff! My two cents!
I didnt play it that much because almost every time was outdated. Until they released a new version the game changed again or Promods had a new version. I cant talk about quality, i have no info on that, i remember some beautifull parts of it along with some FPS drop. They knew how to do a quality map but i supose they didnt have time for the project.


By looking at your skin, others can tell how old you are. It doesn't matter what you wear or how you do your hair, your skin will tell the truth. It is very important to take good care of the skin. Keep your skin healthy and looking young by creating a careful skin care routine. Read on for more information and ideas on treating your skin with love.
Do not shave if your skin is dry. Also, never shave without using shaving cream or another product that causes lather. If your skin is dry and you go to shave, it may lead to the formation of ingrown hairs and you could get razor burn. After shaving, apply lotion to your skin. This soothes irritation and provides essential moisture for your skin.
If you want to clear up your acne and have excellent skin, you should spend some time outside in the sun. Go to the park during lunch, or do your exercise routine outside. Exposure to the sun encourages vitamin D production, and vitamin D is essential for maintaining skin health.
Exfoliating is something that you must incorporate into your routine for healthy skin. You can purchase exfoliating soap from the store, or you can add a little bit of granulated sugar to your regular face wash. Doing this more than twice weekly can cause damage and irritation.
Sleep is one of the best beauty treatments for skin. Sleep deprivation will cause skin around the eyes to wrinkle. Get at least seven or eight hours sleep a night.
When you are going to be out in the sun, always protect your skin. Use a broad spectrum UVB protecting sunscreen 30 minutes prior to going out in the sun. Depending on where you live, choose the highest SPF you possibly can for the most protection. The sunscreen will prevent sunburns and premature aging.
Caring for your skin can keep you youthful-looking longer. This article provides some great tips to help you attain flawless and glowing skin. Although you do not have to use every single tip outlined here, you should ensure that you stick to the ones you use on a daily basis.


On a rather dreary looking Wednesday in summer, what on earth are the Baskets Galore team up to?
Out in the warehouse, the team is running around assembling the baskets from this morning's orders whilst doing a quick stock take and photography for new baskets. It amazes me all the time how fast they always are and their incredible ability to multi-task.
In the office, we have the IT department rearranging the computers (yet again) because we're one plug socket less in an area of the office for a laptop. It seems like we cannot go a month in Baskets Galore without playing some sort of musical computers, desks and chairs game. And of course, at the start of each rearrangement there were constant reminders for William not to bang his head or hurt himself as he crawled into the gap between the desks to unplug wires, cables and whatnots from floor sockets.
And over in another part of the office, we have Lynne, Jade and Andrea having a discussion about getting a Kindle for the office so that we can access resources, manuals and training materials on Amazon. The pros and cons of reading it digitally or buying the book, comparing prices and looking at the IT team for advice when it came to reading it on the computer.
We have Neil who is busy on his phone as per usual, baffling the entire office (or at least, me) each time his phone rings because of his duck quacking ringtone and being given notes and lists of things to buy today.
But we ARE working! Roma is going through Health & Safety documents and I'm working on two spreadsheets at once as I double check the breakdowns for our new baskets. We were just.... peckish.
Surely we cannot be the only ones who snack at their desk at work. What do you all nibble on?

UN 'horrified' by reports of massacre of civilians in Myanmar
| Monday, December 27th, 2021 | 2:53 pm
A UN official said Sunday he was "horrified" by credible reports that at least 35 civilians, possibly including two aid workers, were killed and their bodies burned in Myanmar, and demanded the government launch an investigation.
"I condemn this grievous incident and all attacks against civilians throughout the country, which are prohibited under international humanitarian law," United Nations under-secretary-general for humanitarian affairs Martin Griffiths said in a statement.
"I call upon the authorities to immediately commence a thorough and transparent investigation into the incident," said Griffiths, who noted that two workers for non-profit group Save the Children remain missing after their vehicle was among several that were attacked and burned in the incident in eastern Kaya state.

Investors like Peter Schiff have been predicting the collapse of the American economy for a long time, and for good reason.
If an economy is built on a foundation of borrowed money, then that economy is living on borrowed time. However, despite how fundamentally unsustainable our financial system is, it has somehow defied all expectations. It has gone on far longer than any of us could have imagined.

Welcome to my contribution to "Monday Manna" at Exemplify. Don't miss the other wonderful thoughts on this weeks verse at Kristen's blog, and feel free to post your own!
My heart says of you, "Seek his face!"
You can tell a lot about a person from their face. Emotions show on the face more than even words sometimes. Facial expressions can show us joy, anguish, confusion, frustration, peace.
So what does it mean to ME to seek God's face? In my view, God's face shows what is important to him. What makes my Lord smile? What turns his countenance to sadness, pain, or laughter? What aspects of our world--or of my thoughts, actions, and words--bring my Lord joy, and which bring Him sorrow?
But seeking His face is more than just knowing. Most importantly, I want to align my actions, thoughts, and words with the face I long to see on my Lord. It should grieve me if, when I find His face, the expression is one of sadness, disappointment, anguish. My goal is to make His face full of joy, pleasure, and peace. And if I DO find an "unpleasant" face on my Lord, I should long to make it right.
Great post, Joanne. Thank you for sharing your heart and your prayer. I hope you don't mind that I joined you in praying! :) Monday blessings to you, my friend!
His love is written all over your face and in every word you write. Great post!
Great post - I love this way of thinking of seeking God's face!
"My goal is to make His face full of joy..."
I love that. I love this. How true is that?
Thanks you SO much for writing this and letting it be a part of Monday Manna.

A The Dub Room Special! Frank Zappa 1982-ben videókazettán megjelent koncertfilmje, amit DVD-n aztán 2005-ben adtak ki. A film hanganyagából 2007-ben egy CD is megjelent ugyanezzel a címmel. A videó az első kiadásakor csak postai rendeléssel volt kapható, így viszonylag szűk körben vált ismertté.

A DVD-ről
A kiadvány anyaga két forrásból származik: ezek egyike a (The Torture Never Stops DVD-n is látható) 1981. október 31-i Halloween koncert, a másik egy 1974. augusztus 27-én rögzített fellépés. A "Dub Room" annak a "süketszobának" a neve, ahol Zappa az anyagot keverte és összeállította 1982 augusztusában.

A kiadó, az Eagle Rock Entertainment sajtóközleménye:

A film a montázsszerűsége miatt is inkább egyfajta dokumentumfilm, semmint a szó hagyományos értelmében vett koncertfilm, amit tovább erősít, hogy az egyes számokat rögtönzött párbeszédek, a film összerakásakor (1982) a stábbal készült "interjúk" szakítják meg, de szerepel az anyagok között egy kis bevágás a balvégzetű Palermói koncertről is, ahol az előadásnak egy botrány vetett véget: a hangoskodó, a tülekedő tömegbe a rendőrség könnygázt lövetett, aminek a zenészek is megszenvedték a hatását.

A DVD programja

 "Kim?"/The Dog Breath Variations/Uncle Meat
 Room Service
 Nig Biz
 Approximate
 Cosmik Debris
 Cocaine Decisions
 "The Massimo Bassoli Instant Italian Lesson"/Montana
 "In Case You Didn't Know"/Tengo Na Minchia Tanta

Érdekességek
 A videó eredeti megjelenésekor a következő számok: "Room Service", "Nig Biz", "Approximate", "Cocaine Decisions", "Tengo Na Minchia Tanta" és "Stevie's Spanking" korábban semmilyen hanghordozón nem jelentek meg.
 Az 1975-ös One Size Fits All című lemezen megjelent Inca Roads és Florentine Pogen című számok alapsávjai (kisebb utómunkákkal) az itt megjelent 74-es koncertfelvételről származnak.
 Ugyanebből a 81-es nyersanyagból, nagyobb merítéssel készült a The Torture Never Stops DVD is, de a Nig Biz és a Cocaine Decisions című dalok csak itt, a Dub Room DVD-n szerepelnek.

Blogs Cite Similarities Between Terror Manual, Obama Campaign [incl. Rashid Khalidi]
by Gil Ronen
Arutz Sheva, Israel National News
https://www.meforum.org/campus-watch/13870/blogs-cite-similarities-between-terror-manual
Conservative weblog Little Green Footballs and a related blog, Zomblog, have discovered what they say is an "extremely rare copy" of the first issue of the newspaper put out by the terrorist Weather Underground (or 'The Weathermen') in 1975, and point to similarities between themes and keywords employed by the terrorists and by Sen. Barack Obama's campaign.
These keywords and themes include the idea of encouraging "organizers" who will work in "communities" and use "audacity."
Obama is a self-described "community organizer" and he wrote an autobiographical book called "The Audacity of Hope."
The Weather Underground was a violent Marxist-Leninist group that carried out bombings and riots from 1969 to the mid-1970s. Its leader, Bill Ayers, is known to have had associations with Sen. Obama, although the extent of these associations is disputed. He and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, who was also a Weather Underground leader, were both present at the recently reported-fete for former Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) spokesman Rashid Khalidi where Obama spoke. At the time, the PLO was on the United States list of terror organizations.
Little Green Footballs was influential in the 2004 U.S. elections, when it discovered an alleged attempt by CBS News and its lead anchor, Dan Rather, to affect the result of the elections though the publication of a forged document, referred to as "the throbbing memo." Zomblog is written by a person who identifies herself as Zombie, and who specializes in reporting upon ultra-leftist fringe groups.
According to Zomblog, the Weather Underground newspaper, called Osawatomie, "was written at a time when the Dohrn-Ayers wing of the Weather Underground was transitioning from terrorism to "working from the inside" for revolution. Much of the paper "concerns itself with the need to encourage 'organizers' who will work in 'communities' and use 'audacity' to bring about 'socialism' in America."
Some quotes from the newspaper:
"But revolutionaries expect adversity, expect to be fought every inch of the way by an entrenched ruling class, expect to confront danger and demoralization and overcome it, with creativity and audacity."
"Theory and ideology are important tools, and we should make study of Marxism-Leninism an important part of our work."
"Organizers must be intimately aware of every problem and each injustice, and they must show that underneath each particular problem lies another problem, and another and another until you reach the system of imperialism itself. "
"We need to build a successful struggle, strong organization and a winning revolutionary party. This is a process, which will not emerge full-blown from our minds. It will emerge and change and grow from practice. We know where to begin."
"The immediate task for the left is this: organize the masses of people against imperialism and for revolution. Pull together friends and comrades, whether three or thirty. Explain the roots of the current economic and social crisis. Fight for jobs and for funds for urgent relief programs. Wealth should be taken from the Pentagon budget and used to rebuild our cities, schools and hospitals."


We would like to wholeheartedly recommend our nanny Julieta. She is attentive, caring, professional, reliable, and 100% focused on our son. She is very skilled at her job and alerts us to changes in his eating and sleeping. She has carried out every request we made with a good attitude, and she is reliably on time. Julieta loves her work and talks and sings to our son all day long, and she has taught him several words in English and Spanish. She takes him on walks every day and to the library several times per week. Our son laughs and gets excited when she rings the doorbell in the morning.
She has years of experience and nothing but positive reviews (we checked.) She began taking care of our son starting at 12 months. He will transition to preschool in November.
Julieta is looking for a full-time M-F job starting in November in San Francisco or near a Bart stop (she does not drive).
We are a family who needs a part-time Nanny. We will need help with a 8-month-old for 2 or 3 days a week (8 hours/day).

Also, extra hours for babysitting in the evenings on occasion is available. Open to Nanny Share.
We are a family who needs a part-time Nanny. We will need help with our 13 month old boy, Tuesday - Friday from 7AM to 5PM..
Our son also suffers from asthma, and need someone to assist with treatment when needed.
We are a family of four living in the East Bay. Dad (Joe) is very musical and plays guitar. Mom (Jen) loves her yoga class and quilting. Big brother (Cory, Jen's stepson) is with us 50% of the time and loves Minecraft. Then we little brother is named Will. He was born in July this year.
