DTC changes the game. New Pension Scheme could become the best long-term savings option
Moneylife Digital Team 16 June 2010
The revised Direct Tax Code will give a big edge to retirement products over equity and equity-linked mutual funds, which are slated to be burdened by long-term capital gains tax after a long time
Strong winds of change are set to blow over the financial landscape in India. The government has proposed a new tax bonanza for long-term savings schemes under the new Direct Tax Code (DTC) while bringing long-term gains from equities and equity-linked mutual funds under the tax hammer. This dual move could potentially give a leg-up to savings schemes like the New Pension Scheme (NPS) and Public Provident Fund (PPF) over equities and equity-linked products.
Under the existing system, savings schemes fall under the EET (exempt-exempt-taxed) regime, wherein contributions and accumulations are exempt from tax but withdrawals are taxable at applicable marginal rate of tax. However, the government received numerous representations for doing away with the EET system, as this method of taxation of permitted savings was considered harsh in the absence of a universal social security system as in the US. Earlier, the Pension Fund Regulatory and Development Authority (PFRDA), which administers the NPS, had called upon the finance ministry to bring about a change in the tax structure. It appears now that the government has heeded the call and proposed to bring long-term savings schemes like the NPS under the EEE (exempt-exempt-exempt) regime.
Interestingly, at the same time, the government has sought to levy tax on capital gains arising from sale of investment assets such as equity shares of a listed company or units of an equity-oriented fund, which are held for more than one year. This tax is proposed to be computed after allowing a deduction at a specified percentage of capital gains without any indexation. Currently, gains arising out of transfer of equity instruments are taxed (at 15%) only if sold within a year of investment. Capital gains arising out of investment held for more than a year are not taxed.
These new provisions under DTC are expected to have far-reaching implications on the investment scenario in India. Until now, equities and equity-linked mutual funds were considered good bets from the tax point of view, as there was no incidence of long-term capital gains tax. India was among the very few nations that allowed capital appreciation over a period of one year or more to be tax-free. This may no longer be the case. Could this move bring about an exodus from equity instruments to long-term savings schemes?
Sandeep Vasa, a certified financial planner (CFP) believes people could potentially move away from equity markets. "Even today, people are not very comfortable with equity markets. This move could have an impact on the stock markets as people could move further away from equity and equity-linked mutual funds. They will now probably look more at Section 80C investments. Already, people have invested in products like PPF where they know they are comfortable under the EEE system."
Vivek Rege, CFP, VR Wealth Advisors Pvt Ltd said that there could be a natural preference to retirement products as they would come under the EEE system. "People would now be incentivised to invest in such products for tax savings.
They will definitely be seen in a better light. It is good that the NPS would also be eligible for tax exemption; it should see a pick-up in subscriptions from here on." Speaking about the impact on equity investments, Mr Rege said, "Taxation of long-term capital gains will surely affect equity investors."
Devesh Shah, another CFP, welcomed the move to bring the NPS under the EEE system. "This is a move which was required since a long time. It will give right direction to create a social security system in the country. It will be a very favourable feature for personal savings for retirement."
Alert me when a new comment is posted
I heard that as per the new tax code we can't withdraw the amount accumulated at the end of the term,one will have to buy an annuity. I want to know,Is it true,& also what will be its implication on existing policies.

"Ravens wide receiver Derrick Mason breaks a tackle enroute to setting up a game-winning, 46 yard field goal by Matt Stover as time expired lifting Baltimore over the Arizona Cardinals, 26-23, at M&T Bank Stadium, Sunday, Sept.23. Mason caught eight passes for 79 yards in the win."
My weekend was littered with sports; mostly football; American and European. I thought I would take the time to describe some key differences from shooting a high school game, to a college game, alas to a NFL game.
There are many points one could mention, but I'll talk about the those I think of the most: parking, access and ambiance.
High school is easy. No paying or fighting for parking; wait a minute, it's basically the same as the NFL minus checking the for a parking pass.
At M&T Bank in Baltimore, Md. you pull in, show your pass. Simple. Great access and great people.
With that said, after shooting the NFL, I've realized that Towson University is much like trying to break into Fort Knox. For a school that on average gets maybe 3,000 fans to a football game, parking is outrageous. During Saturday's game I was forced to either pay five dollars to shoot the game, or walk two miles in the dark with expensive camera gear. I decided against the latter.
Don't get me wrong, I've shot at other college venues and have had problems, but none are as ridiculous as Towson.
At high school games you can be a parent and shoot on the sidelines, it's that easy. If that doesn't work, lie and say you're with a small local publication and at the very least you will get into the game for free (I am not endorsing this...ha...a friend told me about this).
Back to Towson. I hate to use them again as my example, as all colleges are different, but I shoot there every week. Once in the stadium I am continually harassed to show my credentials and even have my staff photographers calling me saying they aren't allowed to get on the field, even when they do have proper media credentials.
And obviously, the NFL you need to be of a large publication to get one of those snazzy red vests.
High school has zero thrills. The best thing about high school games I think is the raw emotion of players. Although all levels and all sports have emotional players, I feel the younger the players, the more emotion they show, especially at the end of a game. But, around here in Maryland, prep sports are nothing big and exciting, say as Texas high school football. Last, most have horrible lighting at night and no wireless web.
College has better lighting, but it's not ideal. As stated, access is generally easy if your with some sort of media, but that entails stadium workers that are power pushers to some sort. At Towson it's mostly the parking services. Other than that, college games are a little more action packed and give a sense of professionalism. However, I don't think the emotion is as evident in college sports.
Finally, the NFL, which I think has it all. Thousands of people screaming, energizing the stadium, good food, lots of media and always action packed. Not to mention emotions running wildly after a touchdown is scored.
But, I should note that I don't shoot any of the three any differently. In the words of NPPA's Tony Overman, "I've learned that I don't need to chase the big time. The big time is where you make it."
A high school game can be just as exciting as a NFL Monday night football game, but it all comes with the mindset you have before the game.
"From left to right, John Webb, Jordan Manning, Brian Bradford and Maurice Wilkins stand with the defensive unit's motivational 'hit stick.' The four players form the dynamic linebacking corps for the Tigers football team who play rival Delaware Saturday at Johnny Unitas Stadium."
Life for myself is chaotic. A friend reminded me today when she asked when I had free time. My reply? I have no free time. It made me feel miserable that I have no life outside of shooting photos and class. But I love every waking moment of it, even if I rant about it sometimes.
Simply put, I am a poor, sleep deprived, always hungry, no free timing, 22-year-old college student who loves photojournalism.
The past couple days and week to come are perfect examples of how complicated my life can be at times.
Friday evening I shot women's soccer and volleyball before heading home late to get things ready for a wedding (see last post). I woke up early and shot from 2p.m. until midnight. After catching a few hours of sleep, I trekked to The Towerlight to shoot the annual sorority event on campus. That lasted about 35 minutes before I started burning the wedding images to DVDs and editing incoming work from other photographers. Needless to say, I didn't get out of the Towerlight until around 11p.m., which isn't anything new.
As usual, I drive 35 minutes home, only to remember that I needed to do homework at midnight. Got to bed in the wee-hours of the morning and woke up at 6:15a.m. so that I could be back at Towson, find a parking spot, and make it to a weekly ed board meeting at 10a.m. then head to class at 11a.m.
If you've lost track, it's now noon, Monday. Just when I think life is slowing down, I get drowned in photo assignments; Towerlight and freelance. Only having two other photographers I have to schedule them and myself to more assignments than I know what to do with.
I call various subjects, schedule times to shoot, and call photographers for about an hour. At this point I haven't eaten anything yet and need to do all my homework that is due tomorrow. Before I know it, it's 5p.m. and I need to run to shoot the above portrait which turned out to be more of a hassle than fun.
Who ever thought lighting four football players dramatically would be hard? All I have to say is gaffers tape is smarter than a 22-year-old. I struggled to hide light stands in the background before I just taped an SB to the wall to get a desired effect. I also must thank my buddy, assistant and the one who will replace my shoes when I graduate, Kris. I think I showed him how bossy I can be when low on sleep and stressed out. Hopefully he learned a thing or two from my mistakes.
Anyways, back to my life. I am now sitting here, 10:30p.m. with Broadcasting and Japanese homework to do. I can barely keep my eyes open, but I am trying to do it because I have these classes at noon and 5p.m. with two shoots in between.
Sometimes I wonder how I manage everything. I wouldn't have it any other way though.
So, to professors reading, just remember when I can barely keep my eyes open and my work is sub par that I am a busy, busy student.
On the bright side, shooting the Ravens game Sunday. I can't wait.
"Towson University president Robert L. Caret delivers his annual fall address in Stephens Hall Auditorium, Thursday, Sept. 6."
On a typical assignment I always carry two bodies; one with a telephoto and one with wide angle. This setup generally makes my images 99 percent of the time. However, my work is always one percent short. To fill the void I use a remote camera.
Remotes are nothing new for shooters in the industry, nor myself. Mostly used in sporting events, they can also be used in any situation imaginable. From catwalks at hockey game to underwater at a swim meet. If you never seen remote work before, you can find loads on SportsShooter.
I don't make it a habit to have a remote setup on every assignment, but lately I've had a strong urge to use mine. I've been trying hard to incorporate it into my daily assignments, whether or not I'll think it will be successful.
Today's assignment was a good chance to run a remote. This afternoon was Towson University president Robert L. Caret's annual fall address. I knew a remote setup would help me get break from the typical "try and make it look different" podium shot or wide angle image of the long speech.
Although president Caret did move away from the podium a couple times, making a better then normal image, I still like my remote shot better. Had I known he would be moving around I would have changed the location of my remote. But you live and learn, right?
Remotes are in my eyes are a creative failure. I'd be lying if I didn't say there is a bit of luck involved either. They have to be set up meticulously and fired at decisive moments. So if I think of a place to put a remote that I can fire off while shooting normally that's good news. I must note, I would never rely solely on my remote to make the image for the front page, but when you make a sub par or better remote image it feels good.
Now the only problem will be fighting the editors to use the remote image before they stoop to the least common visual denominator with respect to the assignment subject matter. Otherwise known as choosing the typical, comfortable image over the creative image.


There will be a short prayer service at Healy Chapel 332 W. Downer Place in Aurora at 1:00pm on Memorial Day, Monday, May 28th.
At approximately 1:30pm the memorial procession will leave Healy Chapel going west on Downer Place, turn north on Highland Avenue, then east on Sullivan Road, and finally north on Illinois Route 25 to the cemetery. The procession is estimated to take approximately 30 minutes arriving at River Hills Memorial Park in Batavia on or about 2:00pm.
Some parking will be available at River Hills Memorial Park. Overflow parking has been arranged with the Batavia VFW Post 1197 located at 645 South River Street in Batavia, just north of River Hills Memorial Park on IL Route 25.
Shuttle service between the VFW overflow parking and the cemetery is being sponsored by Vitas. The 25 passenger shuttle bus will begin picking up passengers at 1:00pm at the VFW and will provide transportation back to the VFW until 4:00pm.
Attendees are encouraged to arrive early in order to park and transit to the cemetery.

Atlanta scores nearly $1M to support economic development in struggling areas
The Rockefeller Foundation initiative aims to strengthen underserved areas by wooing private investment
By Sean Richard Keenan@ThatSeanKeenan Aug 1, 2019, 8:35am EDT
Atlanta's income inequality issues need addressing.
Josh Green, Curbed Atlanta
The City of Atlanta is expected to be awarded $920,000 in grants and other support to help fuel economic development in underprivileged areas, thanks to the Rockefeller Foundation.
Atlanta will be just the second city to participate in the New York-based organization's Opportunity Zone Community Capacity Building Initiative, according to a city press release.
Opportunity Zones, identified as part of the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, are federally recognized areas that have been historically underserved and are in need of an economic boost.
In Atlanta, there are more than 82,000 residents living within the 26 designated Opportunity Zones.
(To put that in perspective, about 500,000 residents live within city limits.)
Of the nearly $1 million Atlanta is slated to receive, a $400,000 grant is expected to be used to create and pay for a new "Chief Opportunity Zone Officer" position, per the release.
The role would be part of the city's economic development arm, Invest Atlanta.
Other funding will support the placement of two AmeriCorps VISTA (Volunteers In Service To America) members, who'll be tasked with facilitating community involvement in proposed Opportunity Zone projects and businesses. The rest will fund "technical assistance to help develop project pipelines that balance the interests of investors with those of existing community members," the release says.
All in all, the Rockefeller Foundation's gift would be used to attract private investment to what are considered "economically distressed communities."
Invest Atlanta CEO Eloisa Klementich relayed this rather startling fact: "Opportunity Zones are the first federal incentive for community development in 15 years and a unique opportunity to leverage private capital to help achieve Atlanta's economic and community development goals."
The Rockefeller Foundation also plans to grant $600,000 to Cities of Service, a nonprofit dedicated to helping U.S. mayors strengthen their cities by way of economic development.
Atlanta and five other major cities will reap the benefits of that grant.

Welcome to your latest update for 139 Tuxedo. We are please to inform you that our crane has been erected and is ready for operation. Some of you with friends or family who attend the JCC may have noticed the crane shifting positions quite regularly. This is normal, as it needs to change directions in accordance with the wind, similar to an anchored sailboat. All hands are diligently working on completing the remaining foundation contribution. As the weather becomes colder, it is necessary to take extra steps for concrete curing (wrap concrete forms in tarps, add glycol and heat for several hours until cured). We are continuing to work on the elevator and stairwell shafts.
For those of you who are interested in making countertop and/or kitchen sink changes, outside of our standard selections, follow the proceeding instructions.
Meet with Michelle Chisick from Interior Illusions to view all of our standard selections of countertops. For those looking to view more options, Michelle has many samples outside of our standard selections to choose from. Michelle will direct you to Louise at Stone N' Counter for pricing of materials outside of our standard finishing options.
For those of you that are changing the dimensions of the kitchen or bathroom cabinetry, it is necessary to get new FINALIZED drawings from Dean at Imperial before Stone N' Counters will be able to provide you with any pricing. This is because the pricing will be dependant on size and shape of the countertops.
Please allow a minimum of 4 business days for a response from Stone N' Counters.
There will be no construction from December 21st to December 27th due to holiday break.
We are pleased to announce that our on-site display suite will be open Sundays from 1-5PM starting March 26th. Private showings will continue to be offered during the week and on Saturdays. To book a private showing please CLICK HERE.

Q: c#: Changing Text of 2nd Column in ListView (a.k.a. SubItem) I am trying to change the 2nd Column of a ListView on a Win-Form.
I know it's a "Sub-Item", but when I am trying to change the Sub-Item (key = 0) it changes the Text of the very first column.
int number = 1;

foreach (ListViewItem existingItem in this.ListViewDokumente.Items) {
    if (existingItem.Group.Name == "ListViewGroupSEE") {
        existingItem.SubItems(0).Text = number.ToString;
        number = number + 1;
    }
}

When I change the 0 to 1 in SubItems(0), there's anI get an ArgumentOutOfRangeException.
How can I change the 2nd Column?

A: Okay, my mistake, and here is what was missing:
ListViewDokumente.Items.Add(item).SubItems.Add("");

The ".Subitems.Add("")" was missing. It needed some "empty spot".
And then, the For Each Loop:
int number = 1;

foreach (ListViewItem existingItem in this.ListViewDokumente.Items) {
    if (existingItem.Group.Name == "ListViewGroupSEE") {
        existingItem.SubItems(1).Text = number.ToString;
        number = number + 1;
    }
}

It's "SubItems(1)" this time.

Deciding to remove your old patio and install a new one can be a daunting task. If your home already has a patio in place, just getting that old patio removed often feels like an immovable obstacle. Our first task during your concrete patio installation will be to demolish the old patio, getting it out of the way to provide room for your new patio. Because it can be a laborious task for an individual to undertake alone, we have included concrete patio demolition in our list of services, to make the lives of our clients easier. You shouldn't have to worry about taking your old patio out before you can hire a company to put your new patio in.
Even if you do not want a new patio, if you just want to open up your backyard and use the space for a lawn or garden, you can still employ our concrete patio demolition services.
The next stage of your concrete patio installation is to consider what style you want to complement your home's paint color and design. Because there are many different styles to choose from, it can be confusing known which will look best in your backyard. The beauty of working with our Charlotte NC concrete patios company is the design help we are willing to offer. Whether you have absolutely no idea what style to choose, or whether you have a few ideas that need to be fleshed out, we are happy to help you create a full-formed, concrete plan.
If you do have a firm idea of what you need, we can help you map it out in your unique yard, ensuring that the design you desire will work in the space that you have. Once we have the plan made, we can begin the installation process.
Depending on what design you have decided on and how intricate the laying process will need to be, the length of time that it takes to actually create your patio will vary and the processes that we will use will vary. No matter how sophisticated your design is, will carefully install, perfect, and adjust every single part of the design until it is exactly to your specifications.
With stamped concrete, though we use the most advanced stamping techniques, there are often a number of touchups that will need to be done, in order for the whole slab to look natural and clean-cut. A smooth piece of concrete will also need significant attention, in order to ensure that it is perfectly level and smooth. No matter how long it takes, we will make sure that your outdoor space is not just beautiful, but also functional.
After laying and doing whatever coloring, stamping, or imprinting the design requires, the concrete is then cured and sealed, which will keep unnecessary moisture from invading and ruining the concrete. This is an important step, as concrete is natural porous and will collect water if given the chance. If water remains in the concrete when the first freeze of the year comes, this remaining water can freeze and split and crack the surface of the concrete, ruining your design. To prevent this, a sealant is laid over the surface.
The concrete can then be finished in any manner that best suits the aesthetic demands of the design and the needs of the home owner. Some home owners desire a more finished appearance, and some prefer a more natural look.
Once your concrete patio is completely finished, you will have a beautiful, unique accent to your home's exterior. Until your patio is complete, you may not be able to visualize how it will transform your back or front yard, but we know that once it is in place, you will love how it livens up the outdoors and provides a useful, functional space for storage, coordinating patio furniture, and spending time outside.
In some cases, it may be more practical to use our Charlotte concrete cutter services, instead of demolishing and installing an entirely new patio. This is a process that few people consider, but it can be very economical if you simply want a different design or a smaller area to be covered by your concrete patio. Instead of tearing the entire thing out, we can cut it down to more appropriate dimensions with your precision cutting tools.
During this process, we can even add a new profile to a previously rectangle slab. If you would like a curved, flared, or scalloped design, our cutting tools allow us to cut in as many swoops and angles as you desire. Once we are finished, you can expand your lawn, add more plants to your yard, or create an interesting rock or gravel feature.


The Cullen family had held land in Leitrim, particularly in the Manorhamilton and Kinlough areas, since the time of Charles I, when Patrick Cullen came from Scotland as part of Sir Frederick Hamilton's troop in 1641. They married into other landed families in the area including the Wynne family of Hazelwood, Sligo. The Wray family were also married into the Cullen family and held over 500 acres in the Glenboy area of county Leitrim in 1878. McParlan includes Rev. Mr. Cullen of Skreeny on a list of "resident gentlemen of property" in 1802. In 1852 part of the estate of Cairncross T. Cullen was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court. Some 470 acres, a portion of the Skreeney estate, was offered for sale in the Encumbered Estates Court in January 1855. In May 1859 Francis Nesbitt Cullen offered for sale his lands in the barony of Dromahaire including the house in the townland of Cavan. He purchased one lot while F.W. Cullen and Mr. Swansy purchased other lots. John James Cullen offered lands in the barony of Rosclogher for sale in the Landed Estates Court in November 1865 and June 1866. In May 1867 Cairncross and Hester Cullen offered land at Grange, barony of Carbury, county Sligo, for sale in the Landed Estates' Court. In November of that year the Irish Times reported that these lands had been purchased, in trust, by Mr. Kincaid for £2550. Henry Charles Cullen offered the demesne and lands at Corry for sale in November 1876. Some of this property was purchased by William Nixon while the sale of other lots was adjourned. Members of the Cullen family owned over 5000 acres in county Leitrim in the 1870s.

First case of U.K. COVID variant detected in Virginia
Va. COVID-19 deaths remain steady; vaccinations rising
Published January 25, 2021 by Kate Andrews
Updated 3:25 p.m., Jan. 25: The Virginia Department of Health announced Monday afternoon that Virginia has recorded its first case of a variant strain of COVID-19 first identified in the United Kingdom late last year. It's known as the B.1.1.7 variant, and so far, the United States has recorded nearly 200 cases of this mutation of the virus, which appears to be more contagious than the earlier version.
The patient with the case in Virginia is an adult in Northern Virginia with no reported recent travel history. Virginia's Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services, which conducts much of the state's COVID testing, identified the variant through sequencing.
"Viruses change all the time, and we expect to see new strains as disease spreads," State Health Commissioner Dr. Norman Oliver said in a statement. "We know this variant strain spreads more quickly between people than other strains currently circulating in our communities, but we still have more to learn about whether it causes more severe illness. As our state public health officials closely monitor the emergence of the B.1.1.7 variant in our commonwealth, it is important that all Virginians continue following mitigation measures."
Moderna has said that its vaccine so far is still effective against emerging strains such as the B.1.1.7 variant. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said Friday that the U.K. variant may be more deadly than other COVID-19 strains, as well as being more transmissible.
Virginia saw a decrease in the number of new COVID-19 cases last week compared with the previous week, but the number of deaths recorded last week remained steady, with approximately 49 virus-related deaths per day or two deaths per hour. Meanwhile, the number of vaccines administered improved significantly last week, drawing closer to the state's short-term goal of 25,000 vaccinations per day.
The state has received ample criticism due to its apparent lag in vaccinations, but Dr. Danny Avula, the state's vaccine coordinator, set up a 10-person team last week to focus on making sure data entry is current, one of the chief problems reported by state officials. On Friday, Avula said he expects the state will continue to receive between 100,000 and 110,000 doses each week for the next four weeks and that they will be distributed to localities based on population, taking into account the number of elderly people in communities.
According to the Virginia Department of Health's vaccine dashboard, 522,853 doses have been administered, out of 1,105,700 doses received by the state — a rate of 47.2%, an improvement from earlier in the month, when the rate lingered below 25%. This works out to a rate of 21,823 vaccinations per day over the past week, closer to the governor's stated short-term goal of 25,000 shots per day. Avula says the state's ultimate goal is to administer 50,000 shots per day but added that Virginia will need to receive more vaccine doses to meet that goal.
As the nation surpassed 25 million COVID cases in recent days — more than a quarter of the world's cases, despite the U.S. making up only 4% of the global population — the Biden administration has promised to ship 100 million vaccine doses to health care providers in the next 100 days. That pledge depends heavily on pharmaceutical companies' production schedules, including the approval of new vaccines by AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
Avula said that the state's efforts to keep its vaccination numbers current has one particular challenge: Pharmacies working directly with the federal government to provide vaccines to long-term care facility residents and employees. CVS and Walgreens report their numbers to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which then sends the information to state health departments, creating a time lag, Avula noted.
Out of about 240,000 doses received by pharmacies in Virginia, only 61,760 vaccinations are currently recorded on the VDH dashboard — which is likely below the actual number administrated, Avula said. This week, the state is working with pharmacies to reallocate some doses to other facilities — including locally owned pharmacies — to more quickly vaccinate long-term care facility residents and workers.
Also, he added, although nursing home residents are eager to receive vaccinations — at the rate of 70% to 80% — staff members are wary, with only 30% to 40% getting vaccinated when first offered the opportunity. Avula said more employees are accepting shots when their coworkers get a second dose, but the stats nonetheless underline the need for improved communications about the COVID-19 vaccine.
In the past week, the state recorded 32,069 new cases — down from 43,164 new cases the previous week — and 342 more deaths, bringing the totals to 478,619 cases and 6,081 deaths as of Monday, Jan. 25. The current seven-day positivity rate is 12.6%, as of Jan. 21.
According to the Virginia Hospital & Healthcare Association, 2,892 people with COVID or with tests pending are currently hospitalized in the state, and 34% of the state's ventilators are currently in use for patients with and without the virus. Also, 55% of all ICU beds, including surge beds, are in use.
As of Monday, all of the state's health districts have entered phase 1b, VDH reports. Although demand is currently higher than supply, people who qualify for group 1b — including Virginians 65 and older, essential workers and people with certain health conditions between the ages of 16-64 — are eligible to receive vaccination.
As of Jan. 21, most of the state's health districts have positivity rates above 10%. The state's highest rates and/or sharpest one-week spikes are in the following districts:
Portsmouth — 22.3%, up from 19.6% on Jan. 14
Chesapeake — 21.6%, down from 22.8%
Lenowisco (Lee, Scott and Wise counties and the city of Norton) — 18.7%, down from 19.1%
Central Virginia (Amherst, Appomattox, Bedford and Campbell counties and Lynchburg) — 18.3%, down from 21.5%
Hampton — 18.3%, up from 17.0%
Norfolk — 17.4%, same as last week
Mount Rogers (cities of Bristol and Galax and counties of Bland, Carroll, Grayson, Smyth, Washington and Wythe) — 17.1%, down from 18.9%
Virginia Beach — 16.9%, down from 17.8%
Pittsylvania-Danville — 16.7%, up from 15.9%
West Piedmont (Franklin, Henry and Patrick counties and the city of Martinsville) — 16.3%, down from 19.7%
These are the 10 Virginia localities that have seen the most cases in the state, as of Jan. 25:
Fairfax County: 57,164
Prince William County: 33,739
Virginia Beach: 24,600
Loudoun County: 18,848
Chesterfield County: 18,005
Henrico County: 17,411
Chesapeake: 14,590
Norfolk: 12,117
Richmond: 12,109
Arlington County: 11,269
Globally, there are 99.3 million reported COVID-19 cases and 2,131,532 confirmed deaths, as of Jan. 25. The United States, which has the most confirmed cases and deaths worldwide, has seen 25.1 million confirmed cases so far, with 419,263 deaths attributed to the coronavirus since February.

WYMT (Hazard, KY) Reporter Hannah Reynolds was out covering house fire in which people were hurt in the blaze.
But, that did not stop her from having some "fun" on social media with the family's destroyed house in the background.
I'm sure if the family thats house was destroyed logged onto Facebook, they would surely have a good laugh at Reynolds' post.


After the release of OnePlus 5, 3 and 3T users might think that the oneplus may have forgotten them, but that didn't. yesterday, the two phones were updated to Oxygen OS 4.5.0, with lots of new features like "lift up display," Gaming Do Not Disturb, low priority notifications, and OnePlus' Slate font. All these features were already available on the OnePlus 5, but it's good to see that Oneplus is not letting down their older hardware.

Hailed by Gene Autry as the 'perfect western actress', diminutive, pig-tailed Betty Jeanne Grayson had all the genre's prerequisite attributes. The daughter of a prominent Arkansas physician (who went on to became State Health Officer), she had been trained in drama and dance at the University of Texas. More pertinently, she was of an athletic disposition, a keen swimmer, golfer and tennis player. She was also an ace rider (to the extent of performing in rodeos), as well as an expert trick shot. Her arrival in Hollywood happened some time in 1946. Thereafter, sources vary as to how she got into movies. One account has her being spotted by an MGM talent scout while working as a hat check girl, while another asserts that she had previously met Autry while performing amateur dramatics at a camp show for the Army Air Force. The story further goes, that Autry (who was serving in the military at the time) was so impressed with her, that he told her to look him up later at Columbia studios.Gail's looks, feisty personality and tomboyish aptitudes soon got her cast in outdoorsy films. She went on to co-star opposite Autry (who prompted her change of name to 'Gail Davis') in fifteen of his films, as well as appearing at least a dozen times as different characters on his TV show. Gail tended to do all of her own stunts. She became sufficiently popular for Autry to produce Annie Oakley (1954) (through his Flying A Productions), starring Gail as the gun-toting titular heroine, invariably disarming (rather than killing) assorted screen villains with her Single Action Army Colt. Gail thus achieved an additional measure of prominence by becoming the first female to command the nominal lead in a western TV series. For this, she was awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

[on auditioning for the titular role in Annie Oakley (1954)] They came up with the idea of a western series for a girl - it'd never been done before. So they ran a contest throughout the United States, trying to find someone who could ride and shoot *and* act. I got very upset because this was right down my alley, really a part I wanted. I felt it was me. I went to talk to the producer, Mandy Schaefer [Armand Schaefer], and he said no. So, I went home and put on my bluejeans, a gingham shirt, put freckles on my nose and put my hair in pigtails and I walked back in to Mandy's office and said, "I think I should play the part". He said, "You got enough courage to do this - let's give you a test". We did the test - and I guess I passed. I've been Annie ever since. Show less «

[on shooting Annie Oakley (1954)] I was up at four o'clock every morning to braid my pigtails, have breakfast, and head for the ranch. We worked from sun up to sundown. We worked in Pioneertown (a western town location near Palm Springs) and there was a big tall mountain out there called Panic Peak, and we could get the last shot of the day on the top of that mountain at about 8:30 at night. By the time we took the bus back into town it was 9:30, get a bite to eat, go to bed and get back up at four o'clock the next morning. When we first started, we were doing three shows a week; working seven days a week when we were on location. Show less «

He used to have his trailer and we'd be doing one-night stands and Smiley'd say, "Come on in, Gail. Let's get some flapjacks and molasses", or he'd fix fried chicken for dinner.
