}

A: As said in the comments, the final solution for the asker was to add http:// to the defined SITE_DOMAIN constant.
Before
define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'localhost');

After
define('SITE_DOMAIN', 'http://localhost');

But there's more to it than just that. Let's focus on the following two functions:
function fix_category_product_url(){
    $proper_url = get_proper_category_product_url(1);
    if(SITE_DOMAIN.$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] != $proper_url){
        header('HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently');
        header('Location: '.$proper_url);
        exit();
    }
}

function make_category_product_url($product_name, $product_id, $ido) {
    $clean_product_name = _prepare_url_text($product_name);
    if($ido == 0)
        $url = strtolower($clean_product_name).'-'.$product_id.'.html';
    else
        $url = SITE_DOMAIN.'/tostadotv/'.strtolower($clean_product_name).'-'.$product_id.'.html';
    return $url;
}

The idea here is that $proper_url actually ends up getting a value from make_category_product_url() because its result is returned by get_proper_category_product_url(). It makes sense because make_category_product_url() has more parameters and uses the other to get their values.
What's funny about this is that the else block of the second function doesn't always return a path, but rather a URL. The problem here is that such URL is given without a defined protocol, but starts with the domain name instead. This value is therefore mistaken as a path.
Now take a look at the first function: it ultimately redirects the user using header('Location: '.$proper_url);. As we discussed earlier, $proper_url is not always a path, so the protocol should be added somewhere in the code whenever a URL takes place instead of a path. That's where the actual solution comes in: adding http:// where SITE_DOMAIN is defined is one way to do this, because this constant is only used when a URL takes place. There are many other ways to do this, but this one is completely valid.

Body doubles and burning files: Latest Khashoggi case leaks
Zachary Basu

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has said he will release the findings from Turkey's investigation into the killing of journalist Jamal Khashoggi's on Tuesday, pledging to go into "full detail" during a meeting of his ruling AK Party.
The big picture: There has been a steady drip of leaks from anonymous Turkish officials ever since news of Khashoggi's disappearance first broke, but the government has yet to release concrete evidence of a premeditated murder plot by the Saudi government. There has been speculation that rather than make such an accusation, Erdogan has been seeking more leverage from Riyadh and Washington. But he says he'll put all his cards on the table tomorrow.
Driving the news:
The Saudi foreign minister claimed on Fox News on Sunday that Khashoggi's death was the result of "a rogue operation" gone wrong, and that it was carried out without the knowledge of Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman (MBS).
CNN obtained video surveillance footage Monday that the network said showed a man wearing what appeared to be Khashoggi's clothes, a fake beard and glasses leaving through the back door of the Saudi consulate. A Turkish intelligence source told CNN the man was a member of the 15-person team involved in Khashoggi's alleged assassination, and was brought along as a body double.
Per Reuters, Saud al-Qahtani — a top aide to MBS who was fired for his involvement in the operation — gave orders during Khashoggi's killing via Skype. Two sources tell Reuters that the audio of the Skype call is now in Erdogan's possession.
Per Al Jazeera, Turkish police found an abandoned car registered to the Saudi consulate in an underground car park in Istanbul. Turkish state media published video footage allegedly showing an unidentified man transferring a package from the consulate vehicle into his own car.
A Turkish broadcaster has been airing footage that purportedly shows Saudi consulate staff burning files the day after Khashoggi's disappearance.

Five tax-efficient strategies for 2015
February 4, 2015 | Bill Cass, CFP®, CPWA®
With tax reform proposals from the White House and the new Congress likely to spark debate, any potential tax code changes will face close scrutiny. Today, tax-efficient planning strategies take on heightened importance.
When planning in 2015, consider these five strategies that may help investors mitigate their tax bills.
1. Invest in municipal bonds to generate tax-free income. Municipal bonds become more attractive on a relative tax basis for taxpayers who may be subject to the 3.8% surtax on investment income and who may also be subject to the highest marginal rate (39.6%). For those taxpayers, the tax equivalent yield — the yield an investor would require in a taxable bond investment to equal the yield of a comparable tax-free municipal bond — has increased.
2. Utilize strategies to reduce or avoid taxable income. There are several ways to reduce adjustable gross income (AGI), including contributing to a retirement plan or IRA, funding a flexible spending account (FSA), or deferring compensation income. Limiting AGI can prevent a taxpayer from reaching key income thresholds that may result in a higher tax bill. Maximizing the use of tax deductions such as charitable contributions or mortgage interest can also offset income. Investors also need to be mindful of certain transactions, like the sale of any highly appreciated asset, which may increase overall income above the thresholds for the 3.8% surtax, the income phaseout of itemized deductions, or the new highest marginal tax rates.
3. Consider Roth IRA/401(k) contributions or conversions. A thoughtful strategy using Roth IRA accounts may help investors hedge against the direction of future tax rates in light of the longer-term federal budget deficit challenge. Younger investors or taxpayers in lower tax brackets may consider using Roth accounts to create a source of tax-free income in retirement. Like all income from retirement accounts, Roth income is not subject to the 3.8% surtax, and is also not included in the calculation for the income threshold to determine if the surtax applies.
4. Allocate assets by tax status. In general, consider placing a larger percentage of stock holdings outside of retirement accounts and a larger percentage of fixed-income holdings inside retirement accounts. With respect to stock investments, allocating a greater proportion of buy-and-hold or dividend-paying investments to taxable accounts may increase an investor's ability to benefit from a lower tax rate on qualified dividends and long-term capital gains.
5. Be mindful of irrevocable trusts and taxes. Because of the low income threshold ($12,300 for 2015), which will subject income retained within an irrevocable trust to the highest marginal tax rates and the 3.8% Medicare surtax, trustees may want to reconsider investment choices inside of the trust (municipal bonds, life insurance, etc.) Or they could consider — if possible — distributing more income out of the trust to beneficiaries who may be in lower tax brackets.
As with any complex tax strategy, investors should consult a qualified tax or legal professional and their financial advisor to discuss these strategies as they prepare for the risk of higher taxes in the future.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Fellow Republicans pressed President Donald Trump Sunday to come clean about whether he has tapes of private conversations with former FBI Director James Comey and provide them to Congress if he does — or possibly face a subpoena, as a Senate investigation into collusion with Russia or obstruction of justice extended to a Trump Cabinet member.
It was a sign of escalating fallout from riveting testimony from Comey last week of undue pressure from Trump, which drew an angry response from the president Friday that Comey was lying.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions was in for sharp questioning by senators on the Senate Intelligence committee Tuesday. Whether that hearing will be public or closed is not yet known.
"I don't understand why the president just doesn't clear this matter up once and for all," said Sen. Susan Collins, R-Maine, a member of that committee, referring to the existence of any recordings.
She described Comey's testimony as "candid" and "thorough" and said she would support a subpoena if needed. Trump "should voluntarily turn them over," Collins said.
Sen. James Lankford, R-Okla., also a member of that committee, agreed the panel needed to hear any tapes that exist. "We've obviously pressed the White House," he said.
Lankford said Sessions' testimony Tuesday will help flesh out the truth of Comey's allegations, including Sessions' presence at the White House in February when Trump asked to speak to Comey alone. Comey alleges that Trump then privately asked him to drop a probe into former national security adviser Michael Flynn's contacts with Russia.
Comey also has said Sessions did not respond when he complained he didn't "want to get time alone with the president again." The Justice Department has denied that, saying Sessions stressed to Comey the need to be careful about following appropriate policies.
Sen. Jack Reed, D-R.I., said "there's a real question of the propriety" of Sessions' involvement in Comey's dismissal, because Sessions had stepped aside from the federal investigation into contacts between Russia and the Trump campaign. Comey was leading that probe.
Democratic Sen. Dianne Feinstein of California, a member of the Intelligence committee, sent a letter to Sen. Chuck Grassley, R-Iowa, urging him to investigate possible obstruction of justice by Trump in Grassley's position as chairman of the Judiciary Committee. Feinstein is the top Democrat on that panel and a member of both.
Feinstein said she did not necessarily believe Trump was unfit for office, as House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has asserted, but said he has a "destabilizing effect" on government.
–Senate Democratic Leader Chuck Schumer of New York said he would take Trump up on his offer to testify under oath about his conversations with Comey, inviting the president to testify before the Senate.
–Feinstein acknowledged she "would have a queasy feeling, too" if Comey's testimony was true that Loretta Lynch, as President Barack Obama's attorney general, had directed him to describe the FBI probe into Hillary Clinton's email practices as merely a "matter" and to avoid calling it an investigation. Feinstein said the Judiciary Committee should investigate.
As for the timing of Sessions' recusal, Comey said the FBI expected the attorney general to take himself out of the matters under investigation weeks before he actually did.

Disclosure: I got this product through Tomoson to review. All opinions are my own.
I am trying to live a healthier lifestyle. I am increasing my activity levels and watching what I eat, but that doesn't mean I have to give up on flavor. I had the chance to try Spike Seasoning Magic. I can make anything I am eating taste better without adding any calories by giving it a few sprinkles of one of the seasonings in the Spike family.
I was impressed by how many flavors of Spike Seasoning Magic are available. My husband liked the Hot and Spicy variety while I prefer the Original flavor. We have added Spike Seasoning Magic to our pasta, vegetables, meat and potatoes to add flavor without adding guilt or calories!
I liked that the ingredients are natural, and that the possibilities are endless with Spike's Seasoning Magic. I think that the garlic flavor might be fantastic on popcorn.
Did you know that Dr. Oz recommends Spike's Seasoning Magic to help fight bloat and lower sodium? If you are looking for a way add flavor to your meals without adding extra calories from condiments, dressings or butters, look for Spike's Seasoning Magic in your local grocery store and get ready to experience food enhancement at its best.

Anatolia's history is characterized by remarkable continuity..
The History of the region represents the eldest footsteps of human being (1.8 million years) and about a 10,000 year-old civilization. Anatolia is a melting pot where cultures from Sumer, Babylon and Assyria interacted for centuries with peoples such as the Hatti's, Hitttite's and Hourrit'es. The result was a unique Anatolian civilization which has long inspired the thoughts and legends of the West.
This beautiful land is the Asiatic portion of contemporary Turkey, extending from the Bosporus and Aegean coast, eastward to the borders of the Soviet Union, Iran, and Iraq. The Greeks and Romans used to call western Anatolia "Asia." Later the name "Asia Minor," or "Little Asia," was used to distinguish Anatolia from the greater Asian continent.
The Hittite capital, inscriptions, courts, temples, sculptures and the fascinating remnants of Carians, the Phryg, the Lcyian can be seen only in Turkey. Homer was born on the west coast of Turkey. The world's oldest known temple was unearthed in Gobeklitepe and the world's oldest known settlement Catalhoyuk is located in central Anatolia. Two of the world's seven wonders are in Turkey; The Temple of Artemis and The Halicarnassus Mausoleum. Troy was founded around 3000 BC, and played a major role in the importation of tin, vital for the production of bronze.
Göbeklitepe is the oldest human-made site of worship yet discovered. It is so old that predates the history of settled human life. It is pre-pottery, pre-writing, pre-everything. Gobeklitepe temple complex predates (9,000 years before) the Pyramids of Giza and (6,000 years before) the Stonehenge. The site draws on questioning and rewriting the theory of human evolution.The astonishing discoveries at Gobeklitepe have long been a talking among academics.
Most of the Ionian cities were built around 1050 B.C., geographically between gulf of Smyrna (Izmir) and gulf of Mandalya (Didim). Around 850 B.C. they evaluated a great synthesis from Anatolian cultural aggregation, Aeolia cities, Hittites, Carian, Egypt, Assyria, Phoenicia, Micean and created a unique civilization. They laid the foundations of western philosophy and arts. By the 6th Century BC, the Ionians entered to the areas of architecture, biology, historiography, philosophy and many other branches of culture which permeated the age of Classical Greece. They were the first to plan cities using a grid system. Hellenistic civilization, that exquisite blend of Greek and eastern culture that flourished between the death of Alexander and the emergence of Rome, first took root in Ionian cities..
After the flood, its believed that Noah's Ark landed in Mount Cudi, located between Sanliurfa and Ceylanpınar. ( Re'sulayn ) This mountain has a strange surface; which looks just like the waves of a sea. The mountain is located in the same place as the ancient cities Sogmatar and Suayb. It is also thought that the city was established by Prophet Idris (Enoch in Bible) and the Prophet Noah after the flood.
Prophet Moses' well and a sign of his staff is located in the ancient city of Soğmatar, currently the area of Sogmatar is known as Yagmurlu Village.
This is the land where the Prophet Abraham was born, The Noah's Arc had probably landed and possibly the Garden of Eden was located but for sure one of the eldest synagogues (3rd century BCE) of the world still stands there.. The history of the Jews in Turkey covers the 2,400 years that Jews have lived in what is now Turkey. There have been Jewish communities in Asia Minor since at least the 4th century BCE and many Spanish and Portuguese Jews expelled from Spain were welcomed to the Ottoman Empire (including regions part of modern Turkey) in the late 15th century. Despite emigration during the 20th century, modern day Turkey continues to have a notable and respected Jewish population.
There are many references in the Old and New Testament to the sites and the inhabitants of Anatolia. St. Paul was born, lived and traveled extensively along the Asia Minor. St. John is buried near Ephesus, and St. Phillip near Hierapolis. The first church dedicated to Virgin Mary is located in Ephesus. It is strongly believed that she herself lived and died in this vicinity. Besides, Ephesus is where Christianity had turned into a social and political institution. Emperors Constantine, who gave a privileged status to Christianity, and Theodosius, made it the only religion of the realm, implemented these steps in Istanbul. All of the first seven Ecumenical Councils which are recognized both by the Western and Eastern Churches were held in present day Turkey. Of these, the Nicene Creed, declared with the First Council of Nicaea (Iznik) in 325, is of utmost importance and has provided the essential definitions of Christianity.
Turkey has a diverse culture that is a blend of various elements of the Oğuz Turkic, Anatolian, Ottoman (which was itself a continuation of both Greco-Roman and Islamic cultures) and Western culture and traditions, which started with the Westernization of the Ottoman Empire and continues today. This mix originally began as a result of the encounter of Turks and their culture with those of the peoples who were in their path during their migration from Central Asia to the West. As Turkey successfully transformed from the religion-based former Ottoman Empire into a modern nation-state with a very strong separation of state and religion, an increase in the methods of artistic expression followed. During the first years of the republic, the government invested a large amount of resources into fine arts; such as museums, theatres, opera houses and architecture. Diverse historical factors play important roles in defining the modern Turkish identity. Turkish culture is a product of efforts to be a "modern" Western state, while maintaining traditional religious and historical values.
Turkish music and literature form great examples of such a mix of cultural influences, which were a result of the interaction between the Ottoman Empire and the Islamic world along with Europe, thus contributing to a blend of Turkic, Islamic and European traditions in modern-day Turkish music and literary arts.
Turkish literature was heavily influenced by Persian and Arabic literature during most of the Ottoman era, though towards the end of the Ottoman Empire, particularly after the Tanzimat period, the effect of both Turkish folk and European literary traditions became increasingly felt. The mix of cultural influences is dramatized, for example, in the form of the "new symbols the clash and interlacing of cultures" enacted in the works of Orhan Pamuk, winner of the 2006 Nobel Prize in Literature.
Architectural elements found in Turkey are also testaments to the unique mix of traditions that have influenced the region over the centuries. In addition to the traditional Byzantine elements present in numerous parts of Turkey, many artifacts of the later Ottoman architecture, with its exquisite blend of local and Islamic traditions, are to be found throughout the country, as well as in many former territories of the Ottoman Empire.

Don't let Maxine Waters's calm look fool you, she's a woman with fiery passion for what she believes in. She's a congresswoman that has vocalized her dislike of President Trump's antics and uses her voice for good. Check out this interview Waters had with Tamron Hall that showed us her personality and stance on the then-newly elected president.
Unlike many politicians who make empty promises, Waters actually sticks to what she says. With her work as a congresswoman, she's been able to secure $10 billion in Section 108 loan guarantees to cities for infrastructure, housing and economic development.
Through her work, she has also created the Center for Women Veterans. It is a distinction within the the Department of Veterans' Affairs that aims to help provide health care benefits and other necessities for women veterans.
If you think Maxine's reads on President Trump are something new, guess again. Maxine Waters has always been fighting for what's right. In this video from 2010, you can see Waters speak out on the unethical practices of Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich.
She's Not Only Making America Great Again, She's Making The World Great!
Maxine Waters's public good doesn't just stop in the U.S. She's been able to use her work to expand U.S. debt relief for Africa and other developing nations. Waters is not only making America great again, she's making the world phenomenal!
Maxine Waters is a well-respected politician and also an auntie we wish we had! Her facial expressions are a "mood."
Waters secured $50 million dollars for Youth Fair Chance. This program focuses on intensive job and life skills training for unskilled, unemployed youth. Waters is truly committed to uplifting the youth and bettering the economy.
In 1998, Waters was a leader in the development of the Minority AIDS Initiative. It aimed to address the wide spread of HIV/AIDS among African-Americans, Hispanics and other minorities. Now the initiative's appropriation is $400 million per year!
When the president of the United States was trying to kick people out, she was stepping in. You may recall the debacle in January after the president put through an executive order to temporarily ban travelers from seven specific countries. This ban resulted in detentions for some travelers and many protests. Among these protesters was Congresswoman Maxine Waters. Mrs. Waters stood by other protesters at LAX to show her support and protect the detainees.
In case you didn't already know, Maxine Waters is a strong Black woman. She is also the perfect example of sticking up for yourself when someone is unjust. Here she is making America great again by putting rude remarks in check! After Bill O'Reily stated she had a "James Brown" wig, Maxine Waters left him with one message to remember: She is, and always will be, a strong Black woman!


An individual's income from property is charged to income tax in accordance with the rules of the Income Tax Act 2005.
Income tax is charged on the profits of a business which is carried on for generating income from land situated in the UK.
Expenditure which is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of trading of a property business is deducted from Rental income when calculating net property income.
The government are increasingly restricting expenditure relief on second homes and/or buy to let properties to open the property market to first time buyers.
Expenditure which is incurred wholly and exclusively for the purposes of property business is deducted when computing property income.
Advertising or promotional costs involving the property.
Legal fees (but not all ) and Accountancy fees.
License fees or certificates. Such as a Gas Safety certificiate.
Plant and Machinery which is used in the repair, maintenance or management of the let property. These are known as capital allowances.
If a property is partly let and partly owner-occupied, it is necessary to apportion the expenditure accordingly.
When a taxpayer derives income from two or more properties it is not necessary to calculate the amount of profit (or loss) arising on each property individually.
If a taxpayer's gross property income for a tax year is exceeded by the allowable expenditure, then the taxpayer has incurred a loss and taxable property income for the year is £nil. The loss is carried forward and relieved against the first available property income arising in subsequent tax years. Strictly speaking, relief is given by deduction from the taxpayers' total income, but the amount of relief is given by deduction from the taxpayers' total income but the amount of relief given is any tax year cannot exceed the property income for that year.
Any loss incurred on an individual property in a tax year will automatically be set against profits arising on other properties in the same year, since property income and expenditure is generally pooled to give an overall profit or loss for the year. .
If a taxpayer lets rooms out in his or her main residence and gross annual rents not exceeding a specific limit (£4250 for 2016/2017) are exempt from income tax. However, the taxpayer may elect to ignore this exemption and to apply usual property income rules instead. This may be beneficial if the rents were exceeded by expenses, so that a loss could be claimed. If gross rents for a year exceed the limit, rents less expenses are assessed to income tax in the normal way. However, the taxpayer may elect to be assessed instead on the excess of gross rents over the limit, without deducting expenses of any kind. Any elections must be made by 31st January in the second tax year following the tax year to which it relates.

Valve & SteamOS: Video Game Crowdfunding In Your Living Room
January 18, 2014 @ 4:52 pm By Charles Luzar
Greenlight is essentially a crowdsourcing platform where any of Steam's 75,000,000 active users can help to determine what games get launched on Steam, the Valve-owned video game marketplace. It's step one in a game development funnel Valve has used to empower smaller developers and studios. Games are… well, green-lit on Greenlight, are often hyped and sold via Early Access and eventually make their way to the full Steam store.
Valve wants to kill Greenlight off.
"Our goal is to make Greenlight go away. Not because it's not useful, but because we're evolving." #SteamDevDays
— El Oshcuro (@DaveOshry) January 15, 2014
This isn't hugely controversial or surprising in and of itself. The revelation alludes to the future of Valve's rapidly-growing and evolving video game ecosystem. Dave Cook explained why Steam may want to ditch Greenlight in a post to VG24/7 this week, emphasis ours…
I've spoken with a lot of indie game developers over the last 12 months who would really benefit from having their games on Steam. Most of them did already, and yes, some of them entered the industry using Greenlight. It is a useful launch-pad for projects and studios that would typically have doors slammed in their faces by the big publishers. If anything, it makes the route to market less rocky as long as the concept is worth voting for. By that logic, only the cream of Greenlight should pass the voting phase and become actual Steam products you can buy.
But the problem is not the fact that up-votes can be encouraged for games that perhaps aren't all that deserving, but it's a matter of saturation. As each round of successful Greenlight titles makes it to the store, we always report it. Here we have 50 new games joining Steam, another 100 titles, and here's a further 40. It is refreshing to see these projects placed in front of gamers, away from the relatively closed nature of the console play-pen. This is undeniably a good thing.
So, Greenlight suffers from saturation. Steam needs a way to let their best publishers stand out while keeping the crowd involved, because the crowd's input tells both Valve and game developers whether there is a market for a given title. They also need a way to make sure only the best games make it through the process…
The Greenlight concept is probably sticking around. Valve won't discourage the type of feedback they've been able to garner in launching Greenlight. There is some speculation that the end result could be Steam storefronts for smaller publishers, for example.
So, where do the most legitimate of games market test and gain early funding now? Outside of Steam Early Access (which is pretty much a crowdfunding play itself) Kickstarter has certainly led the way for crowdfunded video games. Numerous Kickstarter projects have used Steam's Early Access as the lure to draw backers into their campaigns, at times even before any example of the quality of the end product is available. GamesBeat community writer Reggie Carolipio explains the complex relationship between Kickstarter and Early Access…
So can Early Access and Kickstarter become the ultimate co-op experience? Kickstarter won't be fading away anytime soon. It still offers a number of unique options that prospective developers can use to manage expectations via tiered donations and rewards, enabling them to get a head start on funding without sharing anything playable. Then, when they do have something they believe is good enough to share, Early Access might be another avenue they may choose to explore as an additional tool in aiding development — if they make the cut to be included on Steam, that is.
Valve has been hard at work on a Steam-powered operating system (appropriately dubbed SteamOS) for a long time now, and a public beta is available today. SteamOS-powered hardware – called Steam boxes – were everywhere during CES 2014. They're being produced by a variety of manufacturers. A home user can even built his or her own.
Valve has also shown itself very willing to be innovative and take big risks to please their growing community of gamers. Weaving crowdfunding into the Steam experience – and, in turn, into the living room – could be incredibly powerful for game developers. It's already there as a part of Early Access, but crowdfunding sites are left to mop up the ideation phase, the phase that Greenlight used to serve.
If Greenlight was reworked with a crowdfunding component built-in, it would be a hugely-disruptive niche crowdfunding play leveraging an environment with over 75 million registered users and counting. It could also solve a big ill of Greenlight. People are more careful with their money than with their upvotes.

Adaptable, innovative and affordable health-care system the right approach for Federal-Provincial-Territorial Health Ministers
Canadian Nurses Association
Jan 22, 2016, 17:24 ET
OTTAWA, Jan. 22, 2016 /CNW/ - The Canadian Nurses Association (CNA) applauds federal-provincial-territorial health ministers for their work in ensuring Canadians "adaptable, innovative and affordable" health care and for a focus on improving care in the community for seniors.
Improving health care in Canada is a complex process with competing issues and priorities across multiple jurisdictions. Over the past months, CNA has been working specifically with the federal government on the needs of our aging population and on improving access to health care in home and community settings.
"While we recognize the challenges the ministers are facing in addressing these complex issues, we acknowledge the federal government for making health a national priority," said CNA president Karima Velji. "In establishing home care, mental health, and the affordability and access to prescription drugs as key concerns, we can see an important early signal to all Canadians that health has become significant to the federal government. These topics would best be managed in an overarching, comprehensive health accord."
"Clearly, the federal, provincial and territorial governments are all committed to improving Canada's health-care system," said Velji.
Taking into account the unique demographics of each province and territory is an approach that has great potential for ensuring access to high-quality care and giving all Canadians value for their health dollars. According to the health ministers' January 21 statement, any future bilateral agreements will consider the different circumstances and starting points of the jurisdictions.

CNA asks new government to send a clear signal on health to Canadians
CNA is the national professional voice representing 135,000 registered nurses in Canada. CNA advances the practice and profession of nursing to improve health outcomes and strengthen Canada's publicly funded, not-for-profit health system.

The rhythm of saints to carry the sound.
Remember your life is sacred.
My soul has been whispering to me today to look and listen more deeply to the love within myself. I have felt alone a lot in my life, but the more I come back to my essence the more fulfilled, connected and joyful I really am. In my meditation this morning, I came across the words of Zen master, Thich Nhat Hanh, "When you are carried away with your worries, fears, cravings, anger and desire, you run away from yourself and lose yourself. Live your daily life in a way that you never lose yourself. Life is only available in the present moment." I paused after those words and knew clearly that this year that would be my theme. No more waiting for some magical moment to appear…life isn't gonna be like I want it to be, but I already have enough to be happy now.
So, I wrote a list in my journal of all the things that I was happy about right in that moment: a red gerianium looking out the kitchen window, Jill, my tabby, sitting beside it like a domestic goddess, watching fluffy, white snowflakes flying by horizontally on the wind, the pines quietly standing in the their wisdom across the way, my children sleeping in their rooms, a white French country table standing in the turquoise kitchen, the pen scribbling out my heart's contentment onto the page, the gift of sight, the knowledge I've been blessed with to heal myself and others, Thai's teachings of mindfulness, mysticism, and Tao, the Yaqui heritage of my ancestors, shamanic whispers of 'old soul' wisdom always with me, my lungs filled with air, and the present moment. Yes, I already have enough to be happy now.
I will rise to tantalizing heights this 2015 and fly on the wings of my highest potential into the space of my own unique spirit. What about you? What makes you happy in this moment?


Pinterest and I have a special relationship. It inspires me on so many levels – fashion, food, beauty, decor, and even well being. I'm a sucker for a good quote and it's usually where I find them. I post them on Instagram, send to friends, and even quote pins in conversation. Just last night I scrolled though my quotes board and so many good feeling came over me. So I thought I'd share a few of my favorite inspiring quote pins. Hope they add a lithe more sunshine to your day. Pin now, read again later.

Employee Layoff Rights in Israel: What Are They?
If you were laid off in Israel recently or know someone who was, make sure all your termination rights were respected. This article will tell you what those layoff rights are.
This article is a guest post by Israpay's Moshe Egel-Tal, CSPP. If you'd also like to guest post here on JobMob, follow these guest post guidelines.
What are the Israeli employee's termination rights?
An employer is required by law to give prior notice to an employee upon layoff. The employer can waive the employee's services for this period of time but it must be paid in full regardless.
If your tenure with the employer is less than 6 months, you are entitled to 14 days prior notice and if your tenure is 6 months or more you are entitled to 30 days prior notice.
If you worked at least a year with the present employer in most cases you are eligible for severance pay. Severance pay needs to be paid within 30 days of termination and is paid by the employer or a severance pay fund.
Any unused vacation days that you have accrued must be paid out to you in your last payslip.
This is of utmost importance, especially if you intend on filing for unemployment benefits: make sure the letter is on company stationery, dated and states the reason for termination and the effective termination date.
Pay attention that the effective termination date should be *after* the prior notice period. For example: an employee with 5 years' tenure receives a termination letter dated Jan 1st saying that he will be terminated, effective Feb 1st i.e. after the 30-day notice period. This is legal. However, if the letter had said "effective Jan 11th" – this is illegal.
These are a must- without them you will not be able to withdraw from any of the funds.
The letters need to be on company stationary, dated and should be addressed to the fund. Each letter must specify that you have stopped working for the employer and that the employer releases the amounts accumulated in the fund to you, specifically the employer's and the employee's parts.
In each case, the employer sends the letter to the fund and you receive a photocopy. Make sure it is signed and has the employer's stamp on it as well. Keep this in a safe place, preferably with the policy or yearly statements the fund sends you.
This is required by law and is a proof of employment. Should be kept on file with your records and needs to include name, ID number, job description, start and end dates.
Only when you're eligible for severance pay: if you file for Israeli or foreign tax returns, this is the official document which states your severance pay due and the taxes paid on it. For each year of tenure, there is a ceiling which is tax exempt. In 2009, that ceiling is NIS 10,980. Unless your monthly salary was higher than the ceiling, it should be exempt from taxes.
Always a good idea, especially if you were laid off due to cutbacks, the economic situation, etc., in other words, at no fault of your own. Make sure these are on company stationary, dated and state your name, position held, tenure and responsibilities. Ask your supervisor or boss, who will usually be happy to write a recommendation letter for you.
You never know when you might need to contact someone from this place of employment. Write down names, job descriptions and phone numbers of colleagues and key personnel (like the HR dept, payroll). Make sure you have the employer's contact information as well e.g. from an empty envelope or other piece of company stationary.
The above information pertains to employees whose pay is monthly based. Temporary hire through agencies, hourly employees and others – there may be some differences in the law. This article is a general overview and only intended to give a clearer picture and is not meant to be taken for word in every situation. For more information on specific cases, contact Moshe.

Do you know someone who was laid off recently? Please share this article with them so that they know all their rights.

What if they reduced my job (and pay) by 50%? Can I claim anything for that?
If an employer one-sidedly reduces your work time (and or pay) this is grounds for resigning your position as it is an infringement on your existing terms. If you have been working at least 1 year, you are eligible for severance pay even though you resign.
see previous article I posted on Jobmob regarding resigning your position and receiving severance pay.
The prior notification of lay-off is very interesting to me, and something I've never seen exhibited here in America. It provides a more gentle attitude, in my opinion, and would be beneficial for us to adopt here.
I was delayed from receiving total severance pay after termination because the employer's accountant ignored my request that he send a letter to the insurance/pension company to release the funds and when he did so did not address it to the pension fund but to the insurance company in general. Is this legal? It has been more than 2 months and still no pay.
If payments to a keren pitzuim are mentioned in my contract, can my employer withhold pitzuim after laying me off, claiming that I worked less than a year? Isn't the keren pitzuim part of my salary and benefits?
Louis, The severance pay portion of any fund (including pension, bituach menahalim or severance pay funds) are the employer's property. In order to be eligible to withdraw those funds you need to have a signed letter by the employer releasing them to you.
Since you worked less than a year and are not eligible for severance pay, the employer is not obligated to release the severance pay to you.
It is not part of your salary, but a benefit once you have tenure of at least 1 year with the employer.
At any rate, any requests you have from your former employer should always be done in writing and sent by registered mail. this way you can actually prove you demanded it. If it's been done via phone, it's your word against theirs and hard to prove.
It's definitely not your problem where the accountant sent the letter and to whom it was addressed. you need a letter from the employer which acknowledges that you worked for them. It should state your full name, i.d. #, start and end dates and what your position was.
You also need to receive a release letter addressed to the insurance company which states that you have ceased to be employed by the employer and releasing in your care all funds accumulated in the account.
you also need to receive a 161 tax form from the employer.
without the release letter and 161 form you cannot access this money at all.
Are these points (especially the notice part) still correct today (in sync with current law)?
Yes, David they are still correct today.
These points do not change very frequently if at all.
I heard that instead of 14 days notice (under 6 month employment), the employer can waive that and pay only for each month worked an additional day. Is there any basis to that practice?
David, Yes, that is correct. The law specifies one day per month worked up to 6 months after that it's 2.5 days for each additional month (plus 6 days for the first 6 months). The 14 days is only after you have tenure of at least one year. I think you may have misunderstood the law.
Glad the site was a help to you.
Advance Notice can be given orally, but an employer who does so will want to back himself up legally and will therefore usually issue it in writing afterwards. Failure to do so is only opening up a pandora's box for possible future disputes which may lead to lawsuits.
Any employer who respects himself will always issue any notice to an employee in writing.
Thanks a lot Moshe for your respond, but now i'm more confused than before. In this article under "Prior notice" you write, that someone that worked less than 6 month has to be given 14 days notice. But in your answer to my question you write that this applies only after one year if working. What is now correct?
I should have been clearer in the blog. The 14 days for under 6 months apply to monthly-salaried employees. Employees who are paid by the hour are entitled to 1 day per month worked for the first 6 months and an additional 2 1/2 days for each additional month over 6 months as I wrote you previously.
Hi, I was recently laid off from work after about 4 and a half months. I wasn't given prior notice at all and in fact the letter that I was given said that my employment had been terminated a day earlier. I was looking over the contract and it says that fro someone who has not been working there for one year(or maybe it was 2) the regular Prior Notice of Termination of Employment rule of 2001 would be in effect. The question is this: The information given on a different website says that the employer only has to give me one days notice, while here it says two weeks. WHich is correct and where can I read the law myself?
After working for 4 months you are entitled to 4 days advance notice. If this wasn't given, you are entitled to payment for 4 full days of pay (as if you had worked those days). This needs to be itemized seperately on the payslip.
Note: there is a very limited English Translation of some of the laws but the English isn't compatible with the Hebrew content and looks like it hasn't been edited or proof-read.
It is nice to see that Israelis get as much as Europeans do when their jobs end.
then i was dimissed without procedure because of child's complaint about me and had to go immediately.
I was left with no work, no money until June, which was minimal, no severance pay and the document they lied to about its translation the school wont give to me now so i can't proceed to court with my lawyer without it.
I am now teaching successfully again full time but have suffered severe depression and finanical hardship, they also delayed giving me payslips for 7 months so all my Aliyah benefits re: tax return and rent subsidy are not processed yet.
1. Your rights are protected by law and you cannot waive them. If you sign a document waiting your rights when they have been clearly been abused, the document is illegal and will not stand up in court.
2. An employer cannot force an employee to sign a document in order to get paid what they are rightfully owed.
All of these things are serious offences and should be reported to the Ministry of Economics hot line 1800-354-354. You should get a lawyer who specializes in labor laws. It sounds like you have a no-brainer case.
Hi Moshe. My company accused me of stealing! Ive been with them for over 10 years. Ive never stolen in my life. They decided to fire me. Where do I stand now?


A little bit of HELL for a whole lot of JOY!
That day is here right now!
Balance is the key and even for Helen Joy, this can be a challenge sometimes. Everything in your life, in balance. In total harmony. Is it achievable? What would life be like if more of us had balance? Can everyone have balance? Imagine if everyone lived in balance! Not only with themselves but with each other and with the whole universe. "I don't know if we could ever see a whole world in balance but I picture it often in my mind". I truly believe the more people who strive for balance, the more people who can picture what our world would be like if more people were Balanced, the more chance we will have of finding it.
Find the time, every day if you can, to do something creative. Draw a picture, do a painting, sing a song, write the song would be even better. The more you are creative, the more creatively you begin to think and the more interesting life becomes. Visualise how you want your life to be! Anyone can visualise! If you think you can't you won't. It is a form of meditation. It is a gift we are all given, unfortunately without a 'how to' manual. Just picture in your mind, what you want your life to be. Now get creative, draw it, paint it, start having fun with your life.
Helen draws, paints, takes photo's. She splashes coffee, she photograph's messes/stains (to her they are art). She photographs rocks because they look like elephants or tortoises. She has learned how to turn off the left brain chatter and hear the wind. She can stop running to smell the roses. Helen endeavours to live in the now! The following works are a part of Helen Joy's personal journey. Enjoy!
My favourite way to express my creativity at the moment is with coffee stains. It's a process of not being in control – letting go – let it be what it wants to be. That in itself can be quite a challenge as we humans tend to want to put meaning to everything. There is no right or wrong – There is no 'That's too weird'. Through this process I come to realise these are my dreams. Surreal – beautiful – thought prevoking. Enjoy!

Jean-Marie Straub and Daniele Huillet / 1972 / 85 minutes
An extended shot from a car coursing through the streets of Rome in 1972 — which is to say, the ancient Republic in ruins — sets the stage for Straub-Huillet's complex interpretation of Brecht's unfinished experimental novel The Business Affairs of Mr. Julius Caesar. The work explores history as it has been written by the victors, with their hero worship of tyrannical leaders (whether Caesar or Hitler), and offers an alternate view of history writing as fractured and potentially revolutionary. Caesar's former slave and former banker are both featured, providing their own differing perspectives on the Emperor's career in the political, economic, and military life of ancient Rome. New Digital Restoration.
"Straub defies traditional concepts of the medium just as minimal art in the nineteen-sixties went against prevailing sculptural ideas and as the music of Philip Glass ignores accepted theories of composition today."
"When I first saw History Lessons, I hadn't even heard of the Brecht novel, and what I knew of Roman history I had learned in high school. Nevertheless I was gripped."

Our children, if properly educated about faith and Jesus, can be saved from the heartache that is at the end of every one of the dead end roads that Solomon references in Ecclesiastes such as pleasure, laughter and treasures. Or they may simply choose to resist the influence of their parents who brought them to this place as a result of their own failed attempt to find any meaning down these same roads.
I can only warn that our children will end up at the end of these roads bloodied, beaten, and sad even if they remain happy in their pursuit. Because eventually, they will arrive at one final destination before the throne of God where they will have to answer to God why they chose to reject all that He offered at the crossroads through His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ. They cannot run away from this! Nor can we.
Is your faith one that models what you want for your children?
If so, it is time for your children to make your faith their faith. They need to trust Christ for themselves. This is not about the hypocrisy at times of their mother or father or anyone else. They will not stand in their parents or anyone else's custody before God. They will stand alone with a faith of their own. They need a savior just like their parents. All the bombardment of these dead-end streets will increase as they age; it will not be reduced.
One of the reasons that our kids might be down those streets is because perhaps at some point in our life, we have given too much meaning to our work, pleasure, alcohol, drugs or something else.
This is not meant to be a guilt trip. It is the reality for a majority of our generation. We all built castles in the air and now we want our children not to make the same mistake. Solomon was right…we are all striving after wind.
If you want to build your house on a rock instead of sand, understand the true and living God and why he made all of these things. I don't want you to take from this message that Christianity is disinterested in education, pleasure, laughter, work or employment. Nothing could be further from the truth. What I am saying is that none of these pursuits will bring deep meaning or answer your deepest longings in and of themselves. When you understand the true and living God, why you have been made and why Christ died for you, then all of a sudden the enjoyment of these things becomes a wonderful proposition that has hope and meaning.
One of the saddest books that you could read and one that I do not recommend is The Private Diaries, Memos and Letters of Howard Hughes. He was once the richest man in the world. He was ultimately the great hedonist. He traveled all the roads that Solomon went down – he went down them all.
Memo from Las Vegas 1969 to Robert Mayhue, who was his key man who he had given everything and entrusted everything in terms of his business empire: "Bob I want you to remember one thing, I can buy any man in the world or I can destroy him. If that wasn't true, people like me would not exist." Then the biographer goes on to say, "In the 2 years that Howard Hughes had been in Las Vegas his bed sheets had only been changed 5 times. The shag carpet in his bedroom had never been vacuumed, the end table had never been dusted and the bathroom never had been cleaned. His closets began to fill with mason jars of urine. The order of rubbing alcohol barely camouflaged the stench from his rotting teeth and fungus contorted nails. His greatest dilemma at this point, which is exactly what we have been talking about was: "what am I going to do with all of this stuff?" He was annoyed and frustrated because this guy Bob, to whom he had entrusted so much, began to think for himself. Howard did not want him to think for himself because if he thought for himself, he feared: he may think me right out of the equation. So he continued writing prolonged memos that were about absolutely nothing. Howard went down every dead end street… one after another. Eventually, it ensnared and killed him.
The only solid joys, the only lasting treasures that may be discovered in all the journey of life are those joys and treasures that are found in a personal relationship with God who said by means of the Bible, "Careful…don't go there. Instead, trust my son. I sent Him to make your life rich and to fill you with all the joy possible." So we must choose today, whom we are going to serve? How will we share this message with our children so that they may cut short those dead end streets once and for all? It is time that we leave a legacy that matters and that will last for eternity!


West Jordan authorities are investigating after they say someone tried to blow up an ATM with a propane tank.
Officers said it happened Sunday at the Golden West Credit Union, 5639 W. Highlands Loop (7625 South) at 5 a.m.
Authorities said someone had rigged a propane tank to explode right next to the machine with the intent to take the cash inside.
However, officers said it doesn't appear the suspect was able to get any money.
West Jordan Detectives are reviewing video surveillance from the credit union.
Officers told Fox 13's Scott McKane the suspect was very near the device when it exploded.
But police said it wasn't enough to deter the suspect's efforts.
Overnight officers were called to a similar device near a Salt Lake City ATM at the American First Credit Union at 1799 S. Pioneer Rd. (2700 W.).
Authorities said that device did not detonate.
Federal investigators are now involved.
Anyone with information can contact the West Jordan Police Dept. at (801) 840-4000.
