Understanding what documents you should hold onto, and which you can dispose of.
Keep deposit and ATM receipts until you reconcile them with your monthly statements.
File your monthly checking and savings account statements. Okay to destroy bank statements after one year. Once you do your taxes, file any statements needed to prove deductions with your tax records; the rest can be shredded.
Consider free Online Banking and eStatements to simplify managing your money. You can view account history, see when checks have cleared and pay your bills with ease, plus reduce paper pile up.
You don't need to keep them after you've checked and paid them, unless you need a bill to support a deduction you'll be taking on your taxes, such as for a charitable donation (in which case you'll need to file the bill with your current-year tax records).
If an item you've charged is under warranty, keep the bill until the warranty expires. Staple the credit-card bill to the warranty document and put it in a file with other warranties; you may need the bill as proof of purchase if the item needs repair.
Throw out (unless needed for tax purposes).
Keeping your records organized can save you headaches and money at tax time.
Tax preparers might charge more if you give them a disorganized shoe box full of papers.
Place documents you'll need for your next return in a file. If you need to save a lot of receipts and bills, use a standing accordion file.
Keep for the life of your policy.
You can shred your monthly and quarterly statements from brokerage, 401(k), IRA, Keogh, and other investment accounts as new ones arrive. But hold on to annual statements until you sell the investments.
You may want to have separate folders for traditional and Roth accounts to help you keep track of amounts that are deductible and non-deductible for tax purposes.
Better yet, sign up for electronic statements at your financial institution, <%=strBankName%> offers them at no charge.
Store your birth or marriage certificates, diploma, divorce decree, or military records in a safe deposit box indefinitely. Check box availability at a nearby <%=strBankName%> office.
Homeowner records (deed and title): Do not throw away.
Documents relating to investment purchases, loans, and other items that expire or are sold can be stored in an out-of-the way file cabinet. But try to go through them once a year and toss out papers.
Keep closing documents for mortgage, vehicle, student, and other loans in a safe-deposit box. You can get rid of them after the loan is paid off.
For major purchases, keep as long as you own the item.
If you do not do anything with your receipts such as track your spending, itemize tax deductions, or use them to return purchases; you can get rid of most of those little scraps of paper immediately.
If you need to keep receipts on hand so you can verify amounts against your credit-card bills or bank statements, create a folder labeled "receipts" and keep it with your bills-to-pay folder. That way you'll have your receipts handy when you pay your credit-card bills.
If you think you might return something, ask the sales-person how long you have to decide, and jot down the date on your receipt.
Keep receipts, warranties, and, while you're at it, instruction booklets for major appliances and electronics.
You can get rid of a warranty when the period it covers has passed and the rest of the material when you no longer own an item.
Ditto for canceled receipts and bills for major purchases such as furniture.
Keep the calendar year's records until you reconcile them with your annual W-2 form, and then shred them.
Keep policies that you renew each year, such as those for your home, apartment, or car, until you get new policies, then shred the old ones.

Today, I had planned to post probably three different posts but this one motivated me to write and I decided to share. This will hopefully allow me to go deeper and give more into my writing. For the record. I love comic books. I love the color, the art, the different story-lines and the vivid detail put into each panel. I love how the stories can be so engrossing and vast while still managing to connect on some level to the most basic of lifestyle. In fact, my best friend and I worked on a comic all throughout high school that I still keep today. Today's inspiration comes from a panel of DC Comic's Action Comics Issue 6 , which contains my favorite comic superhero of all time, Superman.
Don't get me wrong, Wolverine is cool, Batman is pure awesomeness and Spiderman is hilarity but, Superman is the quintessential man with a dream. Something in his blood made him special but, it wasn't just the fact that he was special that made him who he was, it was the fact that he chose to do great things with his dream which made him much more.
Sometimes dreams weigh too much. I often don't know where to go with mine and become overwhelmed with the thoughts questioning whether I am worth these big dreams. Yet, I continue to be blessed with opportunity after opportunity to be better and do more for people besides myself. What am I supposed do with the notion of being extraordinary in a society where it is positively looked upon to be average? Sometimes I am conquered by mediocre thinking, locking myself in a cage that chains me to meager expectations and existence. Sometimes I question my expectations and wonder why I do not do more. I often become trapped in a defeatist mind-state. I embrace the desire to blend in. I keep my passion in check to do the bare minimum in work, school and relationships because I am afraid of more. I procrastinate on expressing my passion or doing more. Sometimes I choose to just stand by in fear of making others feel lessor.
But, there lies my problem. Nobody asks me if they should hold back, so why should I? The cage that I have built around myself leaves me looking out at the blue sky hoping for something grander. It leaves me looking into the future, dreaming about the skies, adventures and the stories to tell. How many lives can I touch? Will people tell stories of me that will rival Superman? Will I be a person that history remembers? This cage is way too small and Smallville, USA is no longer fictional. Smallville is the city where I grew up, learned about life and developed into the person I am. Smallville is the quiet place I will leave behind to challenge everything I am, breaking my bones, healing them and allowing them to be repaired stronger than before. There is something about realizing you have something great to offer the world and then deciding to do it. Until Next Time.


This is not good. President Trump has lost the support of populist leaders worldwide, especially in Europe over his attack on Assad's forces in Syria.
Marine Le Pen, candidate for President of France, will no doubt lose votes in a tight race due to Trump's Syrian attack. Thus, she is distancing herself from Trump and condemning the attack.
Several populists who backed Donald Trump during his presidential campaign condemned his decision to launch a missile strike against a Syrian military field, reports The Daily Caller.
France's National Front leader and presidential hopeful Marine Le Pen said she "strongly condemned" the "horrible" airstrike.
"Is it too much to ask that we wait for the results of an independent international investigation before carrying out a strike like this in Syria?" Le Pen said Friday on the France 2 channel, according to The Local.

GHANA EXIM BANK TO BUILD 100 GREEN HOUSES IN 2019
Mr. Lawrence Agyinsam (left) addressing the Staff of Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) at its State–of-the-Art Ultra-modern EXPORT TRADE HOUSE Conference Room in Accra
Ghana Exim Bank, the leading export-financing development Bank in Ghana, will construct 100 Green Houses across the country under its "Youth In Green House Enterprise Project (YUGEP)", this year to promote investment in greenhouse vegetable production, reduce huge and persistent importation of vegetables, as well as creating employment within the economy.
This intervention is also an import-substitution strategy to increase the production and yield of vegetable output in Ghana.
These were disclosed by the Chief Executive Officer of the Bank, Mr. Lawrence Agyinsam, when he addressed a Staff Durbar of the Bank at its EXPORT TRADE HOUSE Corporate Head Office in Accra on January 31, to outline the Bank's 2019 Strategic vision and programmes for the year.
He said, for a start, due to vegetation and ecological considerations, Six Regions, namely, Greater Accra, Ashanti, Central, Western, Volta and Eastern Regions are being considered, adding that, all the necessary stakeholder consultations had been carried out and the necessary procurement process initiated to ensure that the Project commences soon.
"It is estimated that about USD 100M is spent on vegetable importation into Ghana and this initiative is to help reduce drastically this volume, save foreign exchange and create rural employment in the country," he hinted.
Mr. Lawrence Agyinsam disclosed that, the Bank, in collaboration with the 1D1F Secretariat, will finance 100 Community-based Industries with an amount of GHS70M, to boost rural industrialization and stem the Urban-Rural drift as well as create the needed employment at the local levels.
"Not only that, we will also establish five LEGACY Projects, including the construction of a Jute Factory in Kumasi in the Ashanti Region, he further added.
He, therefore, charged the Staff to brace themselves for an action-declared year and to contribute their quotas towards the achievement of "Ghana Beyond Aid" programme.
Ghana Export-Import Bank (GEXIM) was established by an Act of Parliament 2016, Act 911, to support and develop directly or indirectly trade between Ghana and other Countries and also build Ghana's Capacity and Competitiveness in the International Market place.

In our news wrap Tuesday, the Associated Press reported that Libya is paying militias to stop migrants from crossing to Italy, using funds from the European Union with Italy's support. Also, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a cheering crowd that Israel will never surrender its West Bank settlements, throwing up a new roadblock to peace talks with the Palestinians.
In the day's other news: There's word that Libya is paying militias to stop migrants from crossing to Italy. The Associated Press reports the Tripoli government is using funds from the European Union, with Italy's support. It's led to a sharp drop in crossings, but it also empowers the militias that have destabilized the country.
Meanwhile, some migrants are still trying to flee. About 700 have been rescued in the last 48 hours alone.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has thrown up a new roadblock to peace talks with the Palestinians. In a speech last night, he told a cheering crowd that Israel will never surrender its West Bank settlements.
This is our forefathers' legacy. This is our land. We have returned here for good. There will be no more uprooting of settlements in the land of Israel. Settlements will not be uprooted. It was proven that it's not helping peace. We have uprooted settlements. What did we get? We got rockets. And, therefore, it won't happen again.
Netanyahu has made similar remarks before, but this time, he spoke just after President Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner visited the region. He's leading the new peace effort. The Palestinians condemned the prime minister's remarks. They have long called for all of the West Bank to be part of a Palestinian state.
On Wall Street today, the Dow Jones industrial average gained nearly 57 points to close at 21865. The Nasdaq rose almost 19 points, and the S&P 500 added two.


Each man needs to procure more and on the off chance that that can get through the entryway of the share trading system, at that point it very well may be each man's fantasy. The venture is a hazard that an individual needs to take so as to acquire benefits. Presently not every person can be brave with cash and accordingly the vast majority require backing up of the other individuals. The most recent strategy to put resources into the cutting-edge times is through a shared store. The common reserve is a sort of pooling up of the financial specialists and putting them through a store administrator in a gainful business. For the most part the little time reserves are placed in greater pools to duplicate the profits. Accordingly, the thought is to expand the advantages. The points of the financial specialists being basic give them enough motivations to go for such arrangements.
Presently to prevail in the market one needs to become familiar with the language of the region. The languages utilized by the merchants in his field need to surely know to get into the score of the market. This gives an advantageous technique to comprehend the words utilized by the stock advertisers.
All through the twentieth century, the shared assets have seen a development stage and they are still on the up. The common reserve at the recorded market by was started by John. C. Bogel. What's more, than all through America they were getting to be famous as ball. The USA is on a speculation binge and the all-out venture through the shared assets is all the more then $5 trillion. Such amazing sums demonstrate a high tendency of the financial specialists towards this sort of speculation. The ventures depend on the assurance of development and the measure of the organization. There are stock assets, the more hazardous development reserves, the picked esteem reserves and so on. The entire idea relies on the financial specialist's trust in the organization.
The more steady and advantageous technique for the venture is through bonds. The bonds give the financial specialist a protected return ensure kind of thing. The ones who don't wish to wander into agitated waters like to remain in the protected zone. The profits in the currency showcase are absolutely needy upon the hazard one is happy to take.
Another up and coming pattern in money markets is the bank account and the store testaments. Another imperative motivating force to the financial specialists that as against the other speculation types, just the shared assets are having an exacerbating rate of return. Subsequently, alongside the hazard, the profits of the shared assets are at the highest priority on the rundown. So as long as the cash is to be verified shared finances will be the most ideal alternative.


This technique carried over into the realm of jewelry making. In fine jewelry, mokume gane is a painstaking process by which layers of precious metal, most often different colored gold alloys, such as rose, yellow, and white, are permanently joined through a process of diffusion or soldering, then rolled, hammered, carved, or punched to create an organic and attractive pattern. These precious metals are chosen for their metallurgical compatibility, as well as their visual contrast. Once the metals are fused together, the entire stack can be worked into a single piece.
In the process, the metals are carefully cleaned and stacked against each other in as few as eight or as many as twenty layers at a time. The layers are compressed in a hydraulic press or a vice, and then clamped securely between steel plates. Once clamped, the metals are heated in a kiln to the temperature at which the molecules begin to excite and travel. The heated metal expands, but the steel plates constrict the expansion, allowing the surfaces of the metal to migrate into each other. The heating process is difficult to execute and relies on precision for the outcome to be successful. The metal must reach the temperature where the surface begins to "sweat," or verge on molten. If the metal does not reach this temperature, the diffusion bond will not occur. If heating surpasses the critical temperature, the metal will melt and the layers will not differentiate.
Once a laminate is successfully created, the stack is rolled thinly and the process is repeated, doubling the number of layers. Once the desired number of layers is achieved, the process of patterning begins. Jewelry artists may use a variety of patterning techniques, and each will yield a different result. Some of the most common mokume gane patterning techniques involve heat forging, cold forging, carving, and punching.
In heat forging, one end of the metal laminate is secured in a vise while the middle is heated with a torch. Heat will soften the metal, which then allows the jeweler to twist or bend the laminate by manipulating the opposite end with pliers. Heat forging can produce a loose or tight twist, depending on the intensity of the manipulation. This is a popular application in the formation of mokume gane wedding bands.
Cold forging is done with a hammer and anvil. The metal laminate can be folded over upon itself a number of times resulting in a wave pattern. Carving involves removal of metal either with a bur or graver. Carving the laminate gives the jeweler greater control over the pattern. The carved recesses are made level by hammering. The jeweler must take great care not to carve too deeply, otherwise the laminate may thin in places and holes may result.
Punching is done with chasing tools, dapping punches, or other tools that create a relief pattern. The laminate is secured in a pitch pot and the striking is done on what will become the reverse side of the finished piece. A series of bumps are made in the metal, and these bumps are filed off once the laminate is removed from the pitch. When the bumps are removed, the pattern is revealed.
After the pattern is revealed, mokume gane is then worked into a finished piece of jewelry. A mokume gane sheet is often mounted over a homogenous metal to add strength and durability. It is common to see mokume gane backed with a solid sheet of precious metal. Final finishing of mokume gane is done to bring out the textures and patterns, which can appear subtle. Using a corrosive is one way to achieve contrast between layers, as is selective oxidation or use of patinas. Care must be taken to protect certain layers from the corrosive or patina while exposing others. Wax is often used as a protector and the process of finishing mokume gane can be almost as complex and time consuming as creating it.
Organic, artistic, and appealing, mokume gane is a process that does not lend itself to mass production. While patterns may be repeated, there is something singular and extraordinary about each individual piece of mokume gane jewelry. Many hours of expertise go into each intriguing layer, and each layer is a testament to individual beauty.

Two-time Golden Bell Best Actress winner Ariel Lin. That has a nice ring to it. I've always thought Ariel Lin was a fantabulous actress, but when she first started out she looked like a little girl and played cute so much I never thought I would see the day she would turn into a fashion plate. It's been slowly happening for a few years now, and while her red carpet style is still hit or miss, her photo shoots have collectively turned towards the mature and classy vein. This month Ariel models outfits from the Jean Paul Gaultier Fall/Winter 2012 collection that has my salivating in particular for that dress above. It's a stunning eye-catcing creation and she does it justice. When looking at the background I can immediately tell the photos were taken in Bellavita in Taipei, a super high end shopping mausoleum. I wish she would have worn this dress to the Golden Bells last month instead of that see through oddity she donned. As for the other outfit below, I just have to laugh at the couture sensibility that thinks a bright blue fur shrug is a good idea.
the first pic is really a good one, she looks like a mannequin.
Did not recognize her at all until you mentioned it in the heading and article.. wow what a transformation!
I miss Ariel she is one of my favorite actress, my sister said she read she going to retirer! NO! NO! I'm not ready!

Visit several of Old Town's most iconic sites, which gained even greater fame after serving as locations for the fictional capital King's Landing in "Game of Thrones."
After departing from the pier, you will soon arrive in the oldest section of Dubrovnik, a revered UNESCO World Heritage Site. Fans of the TV series "Game of Thrones," which is based on George R. R. Martin's "A Song of Ice and Fire" fantasy novels, will recognize this part of Dubrovnik as King's Landing, the fictional capital of the Seven Kingdoms.
Your first stop will be imposing Lovrijenac Fortress, located just outside the medieval walls that encircle Old Town. Known as Dubrovnik's Gibraltar, the 11th-century fortress perches atop a craggy rock overlooking the sea, which represented Blackwater Bay in the books.
Continuing on, you will enter Old Town and make your way to the defensive walls to the south. After climbing the steps, you will walk along the stone battlements, which afford extraordinary views of the sea and the inner city. These walls appeared in numerous scenes in "Game of Thrones"; they were particularly prominent in the Battle of Blackwater Bay.
Later, you will enjoy free time within Old Town, where you may explore other sites that you may recognize from the series. For instance, the Jesuit Staircase was where Cersei Lannister began her Walk of Shame in Season Five, and many of the show's market scenes were filmed along St. Dominic Street. Following free time, you will return to the pier.

Experience the joys of Andrea Bocelli's world by visiting places that the revered tenor and his family own in and around his hometown of Lajatico. Your enlightening journey will begin at the Teatro del Silenzio, an open-air amphitheater that Bocelli's architect brother designed. Andrea performs here but once a year; the rest of the time the theater is silent, filled only by the sounds of nature. The family's influence also extends into wine making, as you will discover while touring the Bocelli wine cellars, which hold classic Italian wines produced on the Tuscan estate that the family has owned since 1730.
You will have the opportunity to sample the wines and indulge in a buffet-style lunch of Tuscan delicacies at the Officine Bocelli restaurant. The wines may include a red made entirely from Sangiovese grapes and a crisp, complex Pinot Grigio. Upstairs, you will find a museum with a collection of awards, photos and memorabilia that celebrates Andrea's musical achievements.

After a short walk from the pier, you will hop into a Jeep Wrangler and hit the open road. There is plenty to see during your time behind the wheel, starting with downtown Nassau, the capital, largest city and cultural hub of the Bahamas..
Depending on the route, you might drive through the colorful shopping district on Bay Street and see highlights such as palm-dotted Rawson Square, lovely government buildings such as the Supreme Court and the pink-hued House of Assembly. You will then head west past lovely Cable Beach and on towards the Nassau Caves for a photo stop..
The Lucayans, the original residents of the Bahamas once lived in these caverns. Settlers later used the caves for religious services and the guano inside to fertilize their crops..
You will also see the JFK Memorial, which recognizes President John F. Kennedy's 1962 meeting in Nassau to discuss Polaris, the United Kingdom's submarine-based nuclear-weapons program. The fabulous and sprawling Baha Mar resort is another Bahamian landmark that you will pass. .
Free time on one of Nassau's most inviting beaches follows, during which you might stroll along the shore, bask in the sun or simply admire the natural beauty and serenity of the sea. Then after a bountiful lunch at the Bahamian Grill, you will return to the pier..

Snorkel the azure waters of Belize's Barrier Reef, the world's largest living barrier reef. This is a shallow water entry, well suited for beginners and intermediate snorkelers.
Depart from the Harvest Caye Marina on one of our comfortable snorkel vessels for the short scenic ride to a beautiful site along the reef. This location is teeming with multitudes of colorful reef fish, co-habiting among the beautiful hard and soft coral formations, intermingled with sponges, sea fans and delicate sea anemones. Possible sightings of spotted eagle rays and schools of larger fish are quite common, large starfish, queen conchs and sea cucumbers also call this patch of the reef home.
After snorkeling, re-board your boat and enjoy the return trip with complimentary rum or fruit punch while listening to Caribbean rhythmic vibes.

Visit three meticulously excavated cities whose ruins reveal their splendor and prosperity in ancient times.
After departing from the pier, you will settle in for a picturesque drive to the excavated ruins of Miletus, an ancient city that the Greeks founded near the Menderes River. Although the city was abandoned in the 6th century when its harbors silted up, Miletus once prospered, as you will discover by wandering through its remains.
Among the highlights are a Greco-Roman theater that held 25,000 spectators and the Baths of Faustina, a complex with water fountains shaped like the river god Meander. Despite the relevance of the historical sites, it is hard to imagine that Miletus was once on a peninsula with four harbors, as it is now on a plain that lies five miles inland.
Not far away, you will find the ruins of Didyma, whose key landmark is the Temple of Apollo. One of the largest temples in the ancient world, it was a magnificent monument whose sacred oracle rivaled that of the more famed one in Delphi.
More fabulous ruins await your exploration in the World Heritage site Ephesus, where you will behold one excavated building after another. They include the theater where St. Paul preached, the Church of the Virgin Mary and the Library of Celsus, a monument constructed as a mausoleum with a separate library for scrolls and codexes.
Back in Kusadasi, you might spend free time shopping or stay in town longer for an enlightening carpet lecture.

Gap year travel: does time out really enrich?
Her younger brother spent his year teaching at a Church of England mission school in Zimbabwe. Afterwards he raised money to finance further education for pupils who have gone on to build successful careers. Another brother worked on a conservation project in Belize.
Each year some 50,000 young people do work placements abroad. Numbers have been growing since National Service ended in the late Fifties, as has the number of companies which organise gap years. One of the first was Lattitude Global Volunteering, founded in 1972.
Lattitude's programmes involve helping in schools, hospitals, care homes and conservation projects. They are not without dangers and difficulties. "I learnt how to deal with things myself and I am a much stronger person than I was before," says one volunteer who taught at an Aboriginal school in Australia.
Callum Kennedy, director of BUNAC, which specialises in overseas work, says that competition for jobs is making work overseas placements more popular than ever.
Using a gap year to learn another language at partner schools abroad is also considered a useful activity. This method offers total immersion, the most effective way to progress.
But while gap year organisations suggest skills acquired abroad will do wonders for your CV, how do universities and employers view it?
"That can be a useful, sensible way of spending an invaluable period," says Giles Henderson, master of Pembroke College, Oxford. All three of Henderson's children took a year out: his son, Simon, taught in South Africa, caught the teaching bug and is now headmaster of Bradfield College.
But there are many companies selling risk-free excitement rather than the less comfortable virtues of service. "Often a gap year looks like a six-month jolly – and with a privileged person all the more so," says Mr Swannell.
"Sometimes it looks like an extended holiday," agrees Sir Michael Rake, chairman of BT. "A gap year carries no particular magic: employers look for technical skills and qualities of leadership, though time out may help you come across as a broader, more experienced person." In a technical world like that of BT, with 7,500 applicants for 200 places on the BT Graduate Scheme, the gap year plays a relatively small part on your CV.
Mr Henderson reckons about 15 per cent of those going up to Pembroke College take a year out beforehand. Among these, there are distinct successes. But gap year plans have little effect on the admissions process and some science dons worry that successful candidates can forget some of the science and maths they knew when they came for interview. There's a danger, too, that they will forget how to work.
A spokesman for Exeter University says: "We recognise that many students benefit from the experience of a gap year – whether it involves work experience, travel or employment." He encourages applicants to explain in their Personal Statements "how their experiences will make them a better student in their subject of choice".
Peter Frankopan, who teaches Byzantine and medieval history at Worcester College, Oxford, is cautious: "Gap year applicants can look like the finished product on paper, particularly if they come from the independent sector, but often the gap year is the latest of a string of achievements and activities undertaken to meet the expectations of teachers and parents. Part of the problem is that gap years have become professionalised: preset itineraries, trusted partners and "safe" locations might put parents' minds at rest, but they also prevent the umbilical cord being cut.
Foreign languages really do look good on a CV – in this country, at least.
See our pick of the best gap year travel companies and websites.
Much to his relief, Matt Lacey found that a stint volunteering at a lion park was a far cry from the stereotypical exploits of his public school 'gapper' alter ego.
We speak to gap year participants whose work experience abroad has helped them on their chosen career path.

COICA Could Be Voted Out of Committee This Week
by Chris Pratt / November 16th, 2010
Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number –
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
— Percy Bysshe Shelley, "The Call to Freedom" (1819)
My film deceptions and the works of others document the many lies and the hypocrisy that our politicians and government have foisted upon us. However, the public has begun to wake up. They are beginning to realize that 9/11 revelations will be the first of many cascading dominoes as conspiracy theory will morph into cover-up, over and over again.
When it comes to a fresh investigation of 9/11 Democrats have joined Republicans to "keep a lid on it." They know they will also be flattened once this snowball begins to roll; their duplicity, their culpability cannot be blamed entirely on the Republicans. A great unraveling is just beginning. When the final spin, the final unraveling occurs, the Fed, the IMF, the World Bank and Media will all be left standing and the public will then know who has been in control all along.
Much of this unraveling and the public's awareness have come from the Internet which is the last bastion of free speech left on the planet. If Leahy's Law becomes law, freedom of expression on the Internet could well become an endangered species. It is called Combating Online Infringement and Counterfeit Act (COICA) S.3804. He introduced it on Sept 20 and promptly referred it to the Judiciary Committee which he also chairs. This law is being fast tracked, flying under the radar and almost in total darkness. When money is involved it is amazing how fast bipartisan support can be found. This legislation could be out of committee and headed for a full vote in Congress, with almost no input from the public, in just a few weeks. Amazing.
As proposed, COICA can blacklist, control or close down thousands of watchdog websites, sites like mine, bloggers, even You Tube for engaging in "infringing activities." With no due process or legal oversight this law would empower the Attorney General (not the aggrieved party) to initiate blacklisting activities and prevent access to infringing sites. It is a dangerous and ill defined piece of legislation that at the very least should be publicized and thoroughly discussed in the open.
Counsel from Senator Leahy's office was recently in contact with me. He assured me at great length that this bill was targeting the bad guys, counterfeiters and criminals that were re-selling American products or services often from abroad, a fact I do not doubt. I said to him "great, I agree – go get em." I then asked for an example of an infringing organization that was not also a counterfeit company. The example cited played movies and TV shows that were not authorized by the copyright holders. This example illustrated to me how You Tube and other sites could be inadvertently snared by this legislation.
Our quest to get the counterfeiters and criminals should not also give government the power to blacklist thousands of innocent sites for expressing the infringing words of others as determined – not by the original copyright holder – but by government. The rights of the public should not get trampled by big money's quest to stop the bootleggers from redistributing their music, film, drugs and designer jeans.
In spite of these facts and a letter sent to Mr. Leahy expressing serious concerns about this legislation from the American Civil Liberties Organization, The Center for Democracy and Technology, The Electronic Frontier Foundation, Freedom House, Human Rights Watch and others, Leahy was honored as Vermont's civil libertarian of the year by the Vermont's ACLU, that's right, the ACLU. It is kind of like giving Obama the Noble Peace Prize while he commits 30,000 more soldiers to Afghanistan.
"Doublespeak, doublethink, thought control and the Ministry of Truth" are no longer Orwellian book terms, as Nineteen Eighty-Four is becoming a living reality in 2010.
Wake up Mr. John Q Public.
Money not public opinion drives party politics and the legislative process. Did I mention that the multibillion dollar media conglomerates of Time Warner, Disney Co and the Vivendi (a French corporation) have been three of Leahy's largest financial contributors for the last five years?
"Terrorists Watch – No Fly Lists" does it sound familiar? And we all know how well that one has gone.
Contact Leahy.
Petition the Senate.

The power of holding two contradictory beliefs in one's mind simultaneously, and accepting both of them….To tell deliberate lies while genuinely believing in them, to forget any fact that has become inconvenient, and then, when it becomes necessary again, to draw it back from oblivion for just so long as it is needed, to deny the existence of objective reality and all the while to take account of the reality which one denies — all this is indispensably necessary. Even in using the word doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.[1] Wiki
They all do it but 5pm Eastern standard time Glenn Beck doublethink it is necessary to exercise doublethink. Just enough truth then turn it in on itself.

Without getting into the debate on a piece of American legislation, Mr Pratt's claim that the internet is the last bastion of free speech left on the planet is untrue. Money controls the internet at least as much as it controls other media. Those who finance a website control what appears on it. Indeed, given the lack of transparenetcy in website accounts, nobody really knows who is financing what website. If I get my information from a Murdoch outlet, I know what "party line" I'm getting and can allow for that in the credibility I attribute to that information. I can't do that with the internet. For all we know, a site claiming to defend the Palestinian cause, for example, could be run by Israeli intelligence and used to spread disinformation designed to discredit the Palestinian cause. The examples are endless. So although there is no doubt that one of the "lines" being peddled by those who bankroll the internet is that it is "the last bastion of free speech left on the planet", there is no reason to beleive it is true. Those who sought to "control the discourse" have in fact discredited the discourse!

michael kenney took words out of my mouth. we don't know for sure on which side these sites are. we can only conclude this or that.
and there is just too many attack dogs on some of the sites. i do not read msm anymore, but they did not allow such people to attack people.
on a few sites, u'd swear u got entrapped in a small room surrounded by goehring, ribbentrop, mcveigh, bush, obama. tnx

"Without getting into the debate on a piece of American legislation, Mr Pratt's claim that the internet is the last bastion of free speech left on the planet is untrue."
One of the methods zionist hasbarats use to promote their fascism is to cast doubt on everyone else. The idea is to get people so confused about what they read and hear, they will discount everything. This works to ziofascist benefit because it saps the will to act in people. If you don't know who to trust, you do nothing. If you're hoodwinked into believing everything and everyone is lying to you, then you don't know how to act and don't do anything at all. Hence, no challenge to ziofascism, inc. hegemony. That's what they want.
This is a fundamental basic on how zionist mess everything up to their benefit.
For by using the word one admits that one is tampering with reality; by a fresh act of doublethink one erases this knowledge; and so on indefinitely, with the lie always one leap ahead of the truth.
I watched Beck yesterday and talk about one leap ahead of the truth. His show yesterday was it doublethink sort of. His guest was an expert on the tower of babel and we all found out we are brick's held together with mortar and the forces of evil soon will make us all speak in tongues. I have to admit he did have me going there for awhile then as always' toward the end of the show the doublethink part start's and his guest said the forces of evil want to take away our car's and make us ride on mass transit. Well first of all we human's are not brick's but a life form rather rare in the known Universe and only one of many life forms on Earth and we are descendents of another life form called apes. We human's have a little bit bigger brain than apes and have walked the Earth now for about two hundred thousand years. We are not held together with mortar but the four forces of the known Universe.
1. Gravity – This force acts between all mass in the universe and it has infinite range.
2. Electromagnetic – This acts between electrically charged particles. Electricity, magnetism, and light are all produced by this force and it also has infinite range.
3. The Strong Force – This force binds neutrons and protons together in the cores of atoms and is a short range force.
4. Weak Force – This causes Beta decay (the conversion of a neutron to a proton, an electron and an antineutrino) and various particles (the "strange" ones) are formed by strong interactions but decay via weak interactions (that's what's strange about "strangeness"). Like the strong force, the weak force is also short range.
Now I did notice on the Beck show when they go to a message in black and white I might add on the TV screen comes up these massages and do they say war is peace or ignorance is strength not yet but darn close. Oh as far as taking away our car's here in the States not to worry as mass transit is pretty much nonexistent no money in it I guess. Anyway to more important things like William and Kate and some questions we must ask like are they happy, what will the dress look like, are they vegetarians, what kind of car's do they like, will they be good leaders, after two hundred thousands years why is it we still have Princes and Princesses, kings, queens I mean like the Fed couldn't a computer do the same job?
Mass transit it look's like China is moving ahead on that part and doing a good job. Is it to late well one thing for sure if the rest of the devaluated World keep's burning fossil fuel's and driving cars with a internal combustion engines and yes China also and producing electricity with coal it sure is. I think China is now spending about seven million dollars a minute on clean energy and here in the States we are kind of going backwards in time and space, profit short term thinking.

"Pakistan has agreed to open Kartarpur Corridor for Guru Nanak Dev's 550th birthday celebrations!" I heard this news from the enthusiastic Dhaba-owner, where I had stopped-by to eat lunch. I was filled with happiness as this demand of Punjabis had been heard after nearly 70 years of independence and partition. Now that the corridor will be opened, everyone wishes to take credit for it. Be it Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, Punjab cabinet minister Navjot Singh Sidhu or Parkash Singh Badal-led Shiromani Akali Dal. But there is one person, who has been used as a pawn by everyone in this issue, a pawn who will help everyone in achieving their political agendas and, a pawn, who will be discarded, once everyone will have their desires fulfilled. And that pawn is – Navjot Singh Sidhu.
This whole issue when Navjot Singh Sidhu, cabinet minister of Congress-led Punjab government was invited to attend swearing-in ceremony of Pakistan PM Imran Khan. The reason was given that Sidhu and Khan had been all-time cricket buddies during the time they played professional cricket and represented their respective countries on international level. While the Indian and Punjab government didn't want him to go, Sidhu accepted the invitation of a "Friend" and went to attend the ceremony.
Every politician wants to grow and have their name flashed to the next level. A councilor wants to be an MLA/MP, an MLA/MP wants to be a cabinet minister, a cabinet minister wants to be a CM/PM and a PM wants to be known as a World Leader. Individually speaking, it was a moment for a cabinet minister to jump to the level of a World leader where he will talk of peace and friendship. In this moment of becoming a global icon, he failed to see how, in all these scheme-of-things, he will be made a mere puppet. While basking in his brief glory, he will put a big question-mark on his future as well as diplomatic relations of the country.
Everything on the swearing-in ceremony was pre-planned. Imran Khan had played with nearly 150 cricketers from 9 cricket playing nations. But only Kapil Dev, Sunil Gavaskar and Navjot Singh Sidhu were invited in his ceremony. While Kapil Dev and Sunil Gavaskar declined the invitation, Sidhu went. And the day Sidhu bit the bait, the plan was set in action.
India claims Pakistan Occupied Kashmir (POK) to be its integral part at every international forum. The chief of POK was made to sit just beside Sidhu, without his knowledge. Photographers were immediately called on to click their photos that were to be displayed next day as a bonhomie picture. Next came a bear hug from Pakistan Army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa to Sidhu. Sidhu stated that he got "emotional" when Bajwa proposed to open Kartarpur Corridor. Bajwa proposed? At a time when PM of his country was yet to be sworn-in as a PM? Was he an official authority to do so? Can Indian Army chief Bipin Rawat open up Rajasthan border? And if Pakistan wanted Kartarpur Corridor to be opened, why didn't Imran Khan mention so after he addressed the media on becoming PM? Hadn't it given Pakistan's diplomacy a big boost on international level and pressurized Indian government for peace process? None of that happened.
Cut straight-to-the-day of the opening of Kartarpur Corridor in Pakistan. Mr. Hardeep Singh Puri and Mrs. Harsimrat Kaur badal were officially sent by the Indian government. Sidhu too received his "friend's" invitation. This time too, neither the Indian nor Punjab government had given their consent for visit. Sidhu again bit the bait and went. Khalistan-separatist leader Gopal Singh Chawla clicked a photo with him that he displayed on all social media accounts. Did Sidhu know him? No. Were their pictures uploaded after his approval? No. Also, this time he was given a stage to address people and talk of peace. And the orator he is, he went a step ahead to sing praises of Imran Khan. Mr. Puri and Ms. Badal addressed the audience too, that was never showcased. Mission successfully accomplished.
Imran Khan claimed that PM, party and Army are on one page for peace dialogues with India. This is that one-line which no one should believe. February '99, Nawaz Sharif initiated peace-talks, Atal Bihari Vajpayee travelled in the historic New Delhi-Lahore bus and two months later, Kargil happened. July 2001, the then Pakistan president Pervez Musharaff was invited to Agra Peace summit. He came, visited Taj Mahal and went back. 2005, peace talks that had resumed at External Affairs secretary level ended at 26/11 in 2008. Efforts by then Indian PM Manmohan Singh too failed in 2009 and 2010 when his Pakistani counterparts were intent on discussing Kashmir while India wanted talk on terrorism, Hafiz Saeed, Masood Azhar and Dawood Ibrahim. July 2015, when PM Modi was on a good start on peace with Pakistan, Pathankot and Uri attacks happened. Imran Khan in his tenure of 100 days as PM himself is a witness to 20 ceasefire violations. Even the Pakistan Foreign Minister Qureshi had said PM Khan bowled a "googly" to ensure Indian government's presence at the groundbreaking ceremony of the landmark Kartarpur Corridor. Experts say that Nawaz Sharif always wanted peace with India (which he had even mentioned in his 1990 election manifesto). The man was earlier removed in an army coup and is toady jailed by that same Army who holds the reign of Pakistani establishment. Expecting peace talks even now will be naivety.
As for Indian side goes, politics will be played inside the Congress party. Captain Amarinder Singh, Chief Minister of Congress-led government in Punjab has clearly stated that he never asked Sidhu to go. Captain is a part of Sonia Gandhi-faction that didn't want Rahul Gandhi to be a Congress President. Sidhu, on the other hand is Rahul Gandhi-loyalist and has been eying CM post for long. After facing backlash from Captain, Sidhu on 30 November dropped a bomb saying that Rahul Gandhi is his captain and he along with 20 Congress leaders asked him to go. On 1 December, Sidhu had to issue a clarification stating that Rahul didn't ask him to go to Pakistan and went there on Imran Khan's personal invite. Meaning that even the Congress high command is also angry on Sidhu for going.
There is a third-side to story as-well. That is Punjab Congress. Sidhu had ended his 12-year long association with BJP and joined Congress before 2017 elections. Not only did he win, he took a cabinet ministerial berth and 2nd spot in the party after Captain Amarinder Singh. Being a parachute candidate, he faced displeasure of Congress veterans who themselves had been eying CM post, once Captain vacates it. They, however, had to remain silent owing to Sidhu's proximity with Rahul Gandhi. But now that Congress senior leadership has ditched him, the Captain-faction has been asking for his resignation.
Sidhu indeed has stirred hornet's nest by going to Pakistan. At a time when not only the opposition, but even his own party, national president and state CM is against him, it will be difficult for him to steer out of this situation.
While Punjabis are happy because they got Kartarpur Corridor, Pakistan is happy as they have successfully pressurized India for peace talks. Capatin Amarinder Singh-faction is happy as they now have a chance of getting rid of Sidhu for good.
BJP-veteran LK Advani's political career ended when he went to Jinnah's grave in Pakistan and praised him. I sincerely hope this doesn't happen to Sidhu. Let us wish his ignorance doesn't start the end of his career!
Sh. Atal Bihari Vajpayee breathed his last at 5.05pm on 16 August, 2018.

Have you ever wanted a stand alone Pandora or Google Music app for your Mac? Perhaps one for FaceBook or some other web service. As diverse as the Apple App Store has gotten over the years, popular web services like Pandora and Netflix do not have a stand-alone app that you can run outside of Safari. For some of us, that is perfectly fine. For others, having those services running outside of the current Safari (FireFox or Chome included) session is a good thing. Why? Perhaps you are running a dual-screen setup and want Netflix to run on the other screen. Sure, you could just run it in another window or another browser entirely. But what if we could do that cleaner, neater, and just plain cooler!
Fluid was stumbled upon last year when I wanted someway to run Pandora independently of itself. It became most useful when I uploaded my entire music collection to Google Music as I was using a different Google Account outside of my primary one. It became a staple when I wanted to use Netflix on my TV that normally runs XBMC, and the XMBCFlix plugin stopped working. I also subscribe to NHL GameCenter to watch my beloved Penguins when I can't catch the game on the local channel lineup. Again, Fluid proved it's worth.
Currently, the app run for the fair price of $free, but offers a paid version for $4.99 which is well worth it. With the $4.99 price tag, you get to unlock a small handful of additional feature like separate cookie storage and full screen. Cookies come in to play because Fluid uses the cookies in Safari for the site that you are running, but with the unlocked version, it would get it's own cookie storage for that site. Comes in handy for the Google Music example from above.
The app does offer may great features out of the box for free. You can add a customized app icon for the site, or use the favico instead. There are some controls for behavior of links, window opacity, and even a whitelist to limit what external sites the app has access to.
Head on over to Fluid's site and give the app a test drive of your own. You may decide, as I did, that it is a required install on any Mac that own.

Guns On School Property May Be Legal In Nevada. What Could Go Wrong?
What kind of society doesn't let parents pick up their kids at school with guns and ammo in the car? Nevada's Cliven Bundy Caucus thinks this is just a swell idea.
By LeftOfCenter — February 8, 2015
The NRA-ILA (the legislative arm of the gun lobby) has drafted legislation in Nevada, home of the Cliven Bundy Caucus, that will allow guns in vehicles on school property. Because it seems to be such a dire need, the Nevada Legislature believed this (Assembly Bill 2--AB2) was paramount to get through their legislative session, right away. After the governor waged savage cuts on education, this was next on the agenda. The NRA-ILA claims:
This bill is key to preserving your fundamental right to self-defense on the property of certain educational and childcare facilities.
Once again, proving he is always on the wrong side of EVERYTHING, Tucker Carlson said,
"If I'm coming from hunting (double entendré, not intended) and pull on to a school parking lot, and leave my gun in my vehicle, I could be arrested, even though I don't pose a threat."
Assembly Speaker John Hambrick is sponsoring the bill and said it would allow firearms to be stored in a car on the grounds of any daycare center or public, private or college campus as long as the vehicle is occupied, locked or if the gun is kept in a storage container. Current Nevada law makes it a misdemeanor to possess firearms on school grounds, although there are some exceptions.
NVFAC recently awarded A Rating certificates to members of the Nevada 77th Legislature who demonstrated strong support for the right to keep and bear arms as enumerated in the Nevada and United States Constitution. Of course, ammosexuals John Hambrick and Michele Fiore are proud servants of their gun overlords. While John proposed AB2, Fiore was busy trying to get more guns on the UNLV campus. The UNLV Police are very much against this bill.
The Nevada Education Association (NEA) disagrees with these lunatics.
In a letter to the committee, President Ruben Murillo, Jr. writes, "The presence of guns in vehicles on a public school campus greatly increases the likelihood of a student accessing a weapon and harming themselves or other students." He recalls a 1996 incident at McQueen high school when a student was fatally shot by a fellow student on accident.
Carlson asks,
"Wouldn't it be useful if a school shooting breaks out to have some decent, normal, sane person with a firearm to protect the kids."
The anti-gun guest, Mark Glaze (Everytown Against Guns), explains how this historically has not been the case. The NEA conducted interviews and many believe this bill is a bad idea.
Others are worried allowing guns on campus will lead to more crime. "I don't see why you'd need a gun on campus," says Wilbur Kemp. "We have our own police that are on campus. There are emergency stations everywhere in case someone needs help."
The pro-gun guest, Emily Miller, kept invoking the Bloomberg name, as if that is the ultimate insult to the 2nd Amendment. She was not having any of that comparing-the-U.S.-to-Europe-gunsense-talk, they have a different culture. They make sense while we make more awful statistics that horrify the rest of the world.
If this horrifies you as well, join us here to fight more insane gun laws nationwide.

Materials used in 3D Printing
by MANUFACTUR3D January 1, 2018 August 4, 2020 2510
The 3D Printing technology has evolved immensely since its early days. The technology has not only developed in terms of the machine but also in terms of the materials used to manufacture products. This development has augmented the technology greatly. Today, the materials used in 3D printing are rapidly growing and the material manufactures are developing new types of materials that cater to different industrial requirements.
Early research led to the development of a range of conventional materials like polymers, metals and composites, but while more and more conventional materials are being developed, the list of unconventional materials is also growing rapidly. We now see materials like concrete, bioinks, and even food as a material for 3D printing.
We will take a look at the some of these materials used in 3D Printing
Polymer 3D Printing Materials

ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) is one of the most popular materials used in 3D printing. The reason for its wide use is due to its easy availability, strength properties, widely used in industries and is available at affordable prices.
PLA (PolyLactic Acid) is another widely used material. The main advantage is that it is bio-degradable. It is also available in wide range of colours and even in transparent form.
Apart from FDM 3D printing technology, polymers are also used in Vat Photopolymerisation technologies like SLA (Stereolithography), DLP (Digital Light Processing) and DLS (Digital Light Synthesis) as a liquid material and even in SLS (Selective Laser Sintering) as a powdered material.
Composite 3D Printing Materials
Above: Sample from a composite 3D printing material/Image Credit: Continuous Composites
Composites can be segregated as basic or general purpose composites and industrial composites. The general purpose composites available in filament form are wood/polymer or metal/polymer composite. Some amount of wood or metal is mixed with the polymer and made into a filament form. These are mostly used as per the product requirement.
Industrial composite materials used in 3D printing refer to complex and special purpose materials like carbon fibre and fibreglass which improve the durability and strength of the products. Though these materials are not in regular use but are used as per the specific application.
Metal 3D Printing Materials

Most commonly used metals are Stainless Steel, Aluminium, Cobalt, Nickel and its derivatives. It is obvious that these materials give better strength. These are mostly used in SLM (Selective Laser Melting), DMLS (Direct Metal Laser Sintering) and EBM (Electron beam machining) processes, and they are now largely into regular usage.
Gold and Silver can also be directly used as a material for jewellery making. These are very popular materials to be used in powdered form. Another material, Titanium, which is one of the strongest metal is also used in specific applications like healthcare, aerospace and sports cars.
Metal materials are also used as metal rods in Bound Metal Deposition™ (BMD) an extrusion-based metal 3D printing technology developed by Desktop Metal.

Ceramic 3D Printing Materials
Ceramic is relatively new in the 3D Printing materials list. The use of ceramics has attracted mixed reviews with varying degree of success. The major drawback being that even after 3D printing the product has to undergo the same traditional finishing processes like firing and glazing.
Biocompatible 3D Printing Materials

Biocompatible materials used in 3D printing are very important from the medical point of view. The medical field has gained a lot from the 3D printing technology in terms of manufacturing the bones, prosthetic parts, customised sensors and devices (hearing devices), etc. While most of these products are made from regular materials like PLA and ABs for external studies, and titanium for implants, researchers have also developed biocompatible materials. Companies like Formlabs, EnvisionTec, Carbon and more offer such materials that can be used for products that come in contact with the human body.
Apart from this, the scientists have also developed bio-inks. These are materials that can be used to print body parts like tissues, ears, heart and others. While most of the applications are still in the developmental phase, the bioinks are a reality and are widely used for research purpose.
Food 3D Printing Materials

How many times have you looked forward to having a breakfast in an early morning flight? I really doubt that, but now imagine having a customised breakfast; a 3D Printed breakfast as per your preference, now that would definitely cheer you up. This is the power of 3D printed technology in food industry. 3D food printing is new and grabbed the attention of one and all. The materials are still in its developing stage but it is not long before we actually bring home a printer and print our food, rather than cook.
The newest trend in food 3D printing is to 3D print vegan-meat. Companies like Redefine meat, SavorEat, and more are experimenting with 3D printed meat, seafood and they are quite successful. KFC, Kentucky Fried Chicken, is also expected to offer 3D bioprinted chicken nuggets in Russia by the end of 2020.
Concrete 3D Printing Materials

Concrete is a complex matrerial used in 3D printing but is now being developed at a large scale. Various companies are extensively using 3D printing to bring the technology to the mainstream construction. One of the most prominent project is announced by the UAE government called as the Dubai 3D Printing Strategy. Among the concrete initiatives included in the Strategy is the introduction of a new law under which 25% of new buildings' components must be manufactured with 3D printing technology by 2025.
Proprietary 3D Printing Materials
Proprietary materials are actually the materials which you cannot use that easily. These are specifically developed by companies like Stratasys, EOS, etc. with their superior technology and research. They combine different available materials to form useful composites for varying applications.
Above were some of the popular materials used in 3D Printing. The early machines only used plastic material and that too in a solid form, but now materials are specifically developed for all the 3D printing technologies. Researchers are rapidly developing new materials for it applicability in 3D printing. The number and type of materials are adding up in the already long list of materials used for 3D printing.

100 Surprising Facts About JFK
By John Harrington	May 17, 2019 2:43 pm | Last updated: January 15, 2020 8:24 am
John F. Kennedy was born 102 years ago in Brookline, Massachusetts, on May 29. He was the 35th president of the United States, the first Catholic to hold the office, and ranks as one of the wealthiest presidents.
24/7 Wall St. has compiled 100 facts about President Kennedy from a number of sources, including the John F. Kennedy Presidential Library and Museum, Boston University Libraries, media sources such as The Atlantic magazine, the Los Angeles Times, and Time magazine, and online resources like history.com.
A mystique about JFK emerged because of his heroism during World War II, his health issues and, because his assassination was among the most famous in American history.
Historians have reassessed his time in office and taken a more critical view of his handling of crises such as the Bay of Pigs, the Cuban Missile Crisis, his decision to build up the U.S. military presence in South Vietnam, and the role he played in the civil rights movement.
Kennedy's soaring oratory at his inauguration invigorated a nation, his inspirational speech in West Berlin lifted a demoralized people, and his civil rights address in June of 1963 ranks among the greatest speeches of the civil rights movement.
Kennedy continues to infuse American politics with the legacy of his public service nearly 56 years after his death, and historians rank him among the best American presidents.
