There always has to be that motivational reason as to why you always wish to do something in life: from buying a house to getting married, otherwise there won't be any inspiration to press along; especially during the tougher, more challenging times. No different to saving money. Asking yourself "Why do I want to save money?" is a great start, and a quality question in itself. These are the five top reasons to encourage you to and to keep on saving money.
It's simple. It is not money that is evil, it is simply the love of money that is the root of all evil in life. Money is simply a tool, an idea, and is energy that responds to your feelings about it in a metaphysical sense. Choice is always better than no choice. If you want to do some extra study to boost your income; to take that well deserved holiday, or even to renovate your house...with money, and a decent financial buffer that comes from consistent, regular saving, miracles begin to flow in your life, and hence more options to allow your dreams and aspirations to unfold into reality.
If you wish to update your wardrobe, or anything that comes with the adage "out with the old, in with the new" is now possible through the seeds that you plant initially. That is by saving your money in the first place to be able to create a brand new you. You don't necessarily have to change your entire wardrobe, yet saving money will enable you to make any other changes to the way you feel from beauty treatments to further education in boosting your self confidence.
When investing, nothing is scary. Just read the fine print first.
In order to invest, whether it is in a business, in real estate or in the stock market, it is ideal to have a decent amount of money saved up in order to educate yourself on being a successful investor, and by then applying that knowledge and becoming an investor to generate better financial returns on your money, in addition to allowing your savings to simply sit in the bank. Investing, and even borrowing some money to invest can be next to impossible if you are unable to prove that you have some savings behind you.
Not to brag, just to impress upon you the importance of saving your money. Palazzo Versace one day could be possible. Make it happen.
With money, travel and other quality life experiences are always (at least) ten times more enjoyable. It is so awesome to actually eat out at a quality restaurant, and order what you really want without having to worry about the prices of each dish, and also when travelling, it is great to buy something on a whim because you want such an item. It's liberating, and it starts with a buffer of cash behind you.
With a buffer of cash behind you as a result of consistently saving money (no matter how much or how little money you have, and how much you earn); you won't be in such a desperate position financially when it comes to applying for jobs and going to job interviews. Without a buffer of cash, you're more likely to accept a dull, boring, dead end and meaningless job in order to make the quick cash to live on, whereas if you have money saved up, your emotions are stabilised, and you are able to allow yourself more time to assess your options, and only accept a job offer for a role that is more aligned with who you are as a person, and with what talents you are able to offer to the world.
Start small, and yes little piggybanks do grow into some serious cash with time, persistence and patience. It is all worth it. Maybe saving is a new form of spending after all.

Q: Pushing a PHP array values into the JavaScript array? I am working with Blockly to make some Blocks. All the errors came up when I am making Blockly Blocks.
 IS there anyone who knows why my code is not working in Blockly?
I have a URL including a set of JSON code.
I got the content in a myPhp.php file using:
$data = file_get_contents("URL");

and then, I decode the data using:
$objects = json_decode($data, true);

$objects contains:
[0] => Array
        (
            [name] => Light
            [x] => 5
            [h] => 5
            [y] => 5
            [status] => on
        )

Now I want to push this array of data into a JavaScript array using:

And $value needs to have all those data.
But I am getting Invalid or unexpected token JavaScript error. and when I look at to the source code, it shows the error is related to this line: obj.push and it says obj.push('
 Notice: Array to string conversion in myPhp.php on line 20
 Array');.

A: Your $value itself is an array and here your $key is 0.
$key
 [0] =>

$value
 Array
    (
        [name] => Light
        [x] => 5
        [h] => 5
        [y] => 5
        [status] => on
    )

So you need another loop for $value to obtain each value like thus

A: Instead of going through the hassle of looping through the array or even decoding it (unless there is a specific reason to do so), just use json_encode. JSON is JavaScript's native language, so it will understand it.
<?php
$data = json_decode(file_get_contents("URL"));
?>

A: A few things to get you started:

*

*JSON is "JavaScript Object Notation". Though it is used in many other languages, JavaScript understands it natively.
This means that once you've got a JSON string, you can get a JavaScript object out of that directly. If the JSON string represents a single object, you'll get a single JavaScript object. If it represents an array, you'll get a JavaScript array of JavaScript objects. If it is some nested structure, then you'll get just that. In a modern browser all you need on the JavaScript side is
JSON.parse(...) to do the magic.

*To get the JSON into JavaScript, either:

*

*Get it in JavaScript directly, using XMLHttpRequest or helpers such as jQuery's $.get. That will need you to understand some asynchronous programming, so maybe indeed one of the following is easier to start with:

*Get it in PHP, parse it like you tried in your question, and then generate proper JavaScript to create a JavaScript object or array again. Note that PHP's json_decode gets you some associative array, which you then need to map to a JavaScript object.

*Get it in PHP, do not parse it at all, and simply forward the JSON string to JavaScript and parse it there, using JSON.parse.

*Get it in PHP, use Jim's simple solution to get it into JavaScript.
When generating JavaScript in PHP, you need to be careful with quotes,  newlines and other special characters in string values. Like if the JSON is:
{"quote": "She said: 'Beware', and walked off"}

...then you cannot just concatenate text into obj.push('...') as that would create invalid JavaScript:
obj.push('She said: 'Beware', and walked off');

Above, JavaScript does not know what to do with the text after the second single quote, and throws Uncaught SyntaxError: missing ) after argument list. Likewise, newlines may be troublesome, like when unexpectedly getting a PHP error while generating the JavaScript (for reasons explained in Osama's answer), which will yield invalid JavaScript and throw Invalid or unexpected token:
obj.push('

Notice: Array to string conversion
in myPhp.php on line 20
 Array');

In the JSON example above, you could use double quotes in obj.push("..."), to generate:
obj.push("She said: 'Beware', and walked off");

But in general you might not know what values you get, so you need to "escape" troublesome characters.
I don't know enough about PHP to know what's the best way to escape the strings. As (valid) JSON uses double quotes, it should already have escaped double quotes when needed. So, a JSON string might look like:
{"quote": "She said: \"Beware\", and walked off.\n\nWe'll remember her."}

Above, you need to take care of the backslashes that JSON already added for escaping. So PHP's addslashes might do, bus I did not test this:

Otherwise, when first parsing $data into a PHP object using json_decode (or when not even doing that!), Jim's simple solution is certainly preferred.

Republicans passed a near $1.5 trillion package overhauling corporate and personal taxes through the House on Thursday, edging President Donald Trump and the GOP toward their first major legislative triumph this year.
The near party-line 227-205 vote came as Democrats on the other side of the Capitol pointed to new estimates showing the Senate version of the plan would boost future taxes on lower and middle-income Americans. Those projections, coupled with complaints by some GOP senators about their chamber's proposal, suggest party leaders still face a challenge in crafting a measure that can make it through Congress over solid Democratic opposition.
House passage raised GOP hopes that Trump would be able to claim a big victory in a year highlighted so far by the Senate crash of the party's effort to repeal President Barack Obama's health care law. The first major tax rewrite in three decades has been a career-long goal of countless Republicans politicians, who tout the reductions as a boon to families, businesses and the entire economy.
"Passing this bill is the single biggest thing we can do to grow the economy, to restore opportunity and help those middle income families who are struggling," said House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-Wis.
Thirteen Republicans—all but one from high-tax California, New York and New Jersey—voted "no" because the plan would erase tax deductions for state and local income and sales taxes and limit property tax deductions to $10,000. Defectors included House Appropriations Committee Chairman Rodney Frelinghuysen, R-New Jersey, who said the measure would "hurt New Jersey families."
"Republicans have brought forth a bill that is pillaging the middle class to pad the pockets of the wealthiest and hand tax breaks to corporations shipping jobs out of America," declared House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi of California.
Both the House and Senate versions of the legislation would cut the 35 percent corporate tax rate to 20 percent, while reducing some personal taxpayers' rates and erasing and shrinking deductions for individuals. Projected federal deficits would grow by $1.5 trillion over the coming decade, according to static-scoring estimates.
"He told us that we have this once-in-a lifetime opportunity to do something really bold, and he reminded us that is why we seek these offices," Rep. Steve Womack of Arkansas said of the closed-door rally.
While House Republicans celebrated, but the news was less encouraging for the version making its way through the Senate Finance Committee.
New numbers from Congress' Joint Committee on Taxation showed that beginning in 2021, many families earning under $30,000 annually would face higher taxes under the Senate package. By 2027, families making less than $75,000 would face tax boosts while those making more would enjoy lower levies.
Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden, top Democrat on the Finance panel, said the projections showed the Senate bill was "just shameful" because middle-class families would "get hammered."
One would end the measure's personal tax cuts starting in 2026, a step GOP leaders took to contain the measure's costs. The other would abolish the "Obamacare" requirement that people buy health coverage or pay tax penalties.
Halting tax cuts for individuals in 2026, derided as a gimmick by Democrats, is designed to pare the bill's long-term costs to the Treasury. Legislation cannot boost budget deficits after 10 years if it is to qualify for Senate procedures barring bill-killing filibusters.
Each plan also would erase the current $4,050 personal exemption and annul or reduce other tax breaks. The House would limit interest deductions to $500,000 in the value of future home mortgages, down from today's $1 million, while the Senate would end deductions for moving expenses and tax preparation.


After all the fanfare by the Coalition Government to increase the number of members within a SMSF to six (6) members in response to Labor's proposed measure to ban franking credit refunds, this item on budget night has died and will not proceed.
After introducing Treasury Laws Amendment (2019 Measures No. 1) Bill 2019 into Parliament on 13 February 2019, this Bill was subsequently referred to a Senate Economics Committee for further review to report back by 26 March 2019. With the committee recommending for this measure to proceed, in the final sitting days before Parliament would enter caretaker mode (when an election is called), it would require the support of minor parties and/or independent Senators for it to seek passage. It appears on face value that this would not occur, and we have seen today (2 April 2019) amendments to the Bill be made where the measures to increase membership within a SMSF to six members be removed.
It would appear that the only resulting benefit from this change is that the other aspect to this Bill to support craft brewers in relation to excise tax relief will proceed…. and I'll drink to that!

Charles Gorman (July 6, 1898 – February 11, 1940) was a Canadian speed skater who competed in the 1924 Winter Olympics and in the 1928 Winter Olympics.  Gorman dominated the sport of speed skating in North America during the mid-1920s, often being referred to as the "Man with the Million Dollar Legs" and the "Human Dynamo".

Early life
Gorman was born in Saint John, New Brunswick.  At the age of 15, he won the Maritime speed skating title, his first championship.   He served in the First World War as a Corporal in the Canadian Expeditionary Force.  Although Gorman suffered a shrapnel wound in one leg during the war, he excelled at both baseball and speed skating upon his return to Canada, eventually turning down an offer from the New York Yankees in order to focus on skating.

Career

In 1924, Gorman won his first Canadian outdoor championship and his first North American outdoor title. He fared less well at the 1924 Winter Olympics, finishing seventh in the 500 metres event and eleventh in the 1500 metres competition. He also participated in the 5000 metres event but did not finish. Gorman's approach to the sport proved to be more suited to the more combative North American system, where skaters all raced against each other at once, than to the European style used at the Olympics, where skaters raced in pairs against a clock.

Gorman returned to previous form in 1926, winning both the Canadian outdoor and the North American indoor titles, and beating Olympic champion Clas Thunberg of Finland to claim the 1926 ISUA World Outdoor Speed Skating Championship. In 1927, Gorman claimed the mid-Atlantic, U.S. national outdoor, Canadian indoor championships, as well as both the international outdoor and indoor championships. Moreover, he retained his world title, and broke the world record for the 1/6 mile event.

In the 1928 Winter Olympics, Gorman again finished seventh in the 500 metres event and twelfth in the 1500 metres competition.  Gorman refused to compete in the 5000 metres competition, when officials ruled that there had been no interference when a competitor fell in Gorman's path during the 500 metres event.

Legacy
Gorman held seven world records when he retired in 1928.  After a lengthy illness, he died in 1940.  At his funeral, thousands lined the streets in Gorman's hometown of Saint John to pay their respects to the New Brunswick's first Winter Olympian.  He was inducted into Canada's Sports Hall of Fame in 1955, and was inducted into the New Brunswick Sports Hall of Fame in 1970.

In Saint John, an arena and a street are named after Gorman, and there is a monument to him in King's Square park.  Fundraising efforts were undertaken in 2010 to erect a new memorial headstone at Gorman's grave in Old Cedar Hill Cemetery.

PAKISTAN: Alleged "Taliban Terrorists" are Foreign Agents
pakobserver.net 11 January 2012
Theme: Terrorism
In yet another gruesome incident, the alleged Taliban militants killed 10 security personnel in Aurakzai Agency and their bullet riddled bodies were found in a nullah in Dabori area of upper Aurakzai Monday morning. The slain men in uniform were abducted by the alleged terrorists on December 21, 2011, during a clash with the security forces.
Though the brutal killing is being attributed to TTP by some circles but the way such incidents take place and the overall scenario belie such claims. We have not an iota of doubt that TTP has nothing to do in such heinous crimes and it is being blamed by some vested interests as per their well-calculated strategy to force authorities in Pakistan to go for full-fledged operation against TTP in all areas including North Waziristan Agency.
While some of the elements in the Pakistan-based TTP had, of course, grievances against the Pakistan Army and security forces in the past as they believed that these were doing the job of some foreign powers, others were only concerned about enforcement of Shariah and had nothing to do with the geo-strategic issues. Now that the Pakistan Army has adopted a highly dignified position, which is appreciated by 180 million people of the country, there is absolutely no question of TTP initiating any hostile action against the army or security forces. It is known to all that during the last ten years, the United States has established a virtual parallel state within Pakistan through a network of NGOs, contractors and Raymond Davises who spoil things whenever they want to. The Government is doing its job but the magnitude of the problem requires of the entire population including members of the TTP to keep a strict vigil against nefarious designs of foreign agents who are training, arming and funding anti-Pakistan elements in their bid to destabilise the country.

Come and spend two weeks in London this summer, studying English Phonetics at University College London (a part of London University).
If you're a teacher or student of EFL, you could brush up your knowledge of the theoretical side of phonetics and bring yourself up-to-date on new developments; or you may want the opportunity to do some ear-training and listening practice under the guidance of specialist tutors; or you may just want to improve your own English pronunciation. You can do it on the UCL Summer Course in English Phonetics.
If you have good prior knowledge of English phonetics — whether you're an EFL teacher/student or a native speaker of English — you maybe able to enrol in the IPA Certificate strand to prepare you for taking the International Phonetic Association's Examination for the Certificate of Proficiency in the Phonetics of English. The IPA examination will be held on Tuesday 26 August 2008 at UCL. There is an entrance test for admission to this strand (see below).
At UCL we are enthusiastic about the study of pronunciation and how to teach it. We are the world's leading university department for English Phonetics—our tradition was established by Daniel Jones, and continued by A.C.Gimson, and J.C.Wells, all scholars with a world-wide reputation. We are also a leading centre for teaching and learning innovations in phonetics, and host the biennial international Phonetics Teaching and Learning Conference (PTLC).
In the EFL strand (the main strand followed by most participants) we pay particular attention to the difficulties of English pronunciation for learners of EFL. We focus especially on the phonetic characteristics of connected speech, analysing the ways in which the pronunciation of words in discourse typically differs from their pronunciation in isolation. We look at stress and intonation particularly from the point of view of pragmatics and discourse function. The theory, ear-training and practice materials relate to English phonetics rather than to general phonetics.
In the IPA strand, we prepare participants for the IPA Certificate of Proficiency in English Phonetics, which includes general phonetic ear-training and theory alongside English-related material. This strand presupposes a sound knowledge of phonetic theory (as set out in books such as Speech Sounds — see recommended reading page ), including the detailed description of articulatory movements in short stretches of connected speech. The course ends with a chance to take the exam.It is essentially a two-week intensive revision course with a strong emphasis on the practical skills required (ear-training, production practice and transcription); basic knowledge will be assumed, and teaching will focus on consolidating key points and issues.


A summary is an agenda of the way you'll arrange thoughts at the utmost truly efficient way potential. Information has to move logically to have an understanding of one's research paper's purpose and has to become coordinated.
It really is but one among the main measures in educational creating a research document that is superb. Some might assert that it really is essentially probably the very essential measure.
Your outline isn't put in rock. You may return and transform segments in the event that you will find new info or find just how exactly to create much far better search. Nevertheless, an outline's components are all normal, plus so they divide the exact routine in body paragraphs or segments, an opening, and also a decision. Sections might be broken up with sub headings and headings.
Your outline comprises the key factors of one's own research. These points would be the heart of one's newspaper, and outlining them places anything in outlook. Change a few some ideas in the event that you see the outline isn't some or coherent section provides reinforcement.
Headings really ought to fit regarding value. For example, all headings ought to be.
Key headings ought to really become an overall motif of conversation.
Sub-headings tend to be more than dictionary. They feature info that is special to research and enlarge onto the key words that are typical.
The grammatical constructions of every single degree should fit. As an instance, if 1 particular chief going would be really just actually a noun (conversation inside our case over,) then another chief going ought to function as quite a noun. The exact same is relevant for sub-headings. The attention on the paragraph this way is evident, also it disturbs one.
Your teacher might request that you file your outline. They can ask a particular outline mode far way also, these as for example for instance MLA format. This takes focus online spacings, margins, tabs, along with other formatting topics.

Renold Clutches & Couplings has launched a new range of steel couplings that are backlash free and torsionally stiff. The new Renoldflex couplings are designed around a disc pack of stainless spring steel as the drive element. Two carbon steel hubs are connected to either side of the discs by a system of micrometric precision bushings and highly resistant screws.
This design ensures a high degree of torsional stiffness and backlash free operation. This is important on applications with frequent stops-starts, reversing, accurate positioning and for applications on packaging machinery, servo motors, printing presses, machine tools and general automation. Additionally, because of the coupling's steel construction it is suitable for use in high temperature applications up to 240 degrees centigrade.
According to Renold the new Renoldflex couplings offer along, completely maintenance-free life and do not even need cleaning or lubricating. The couplings also reduce wear to other components within the power transmission system as the flexibility of the disc pack absorbs vibrations that safeguards the system and reduces wear.
The new couplings are machined with very close manufacturing tolerances for concentricity and perpendicularity and are therefore suitable for high speed applications, even where irregular torques might be present in the system. The range includes series one couplings, with a single spring pack, that can be used to compensate for angular and axial misalignment and series two couplings, with a double spring pack and spacer, that can additionally compensate for radial misalignment.


Here we have some wolf pups, really at the point where exploration is starting to be possible. As you can see, there's no shortage of curiosity in these little ones!
Pups are born completely blind and deaf (but have a keen sense if smell), depending on the their mother and other members of the pack. The whole pack takes care and raises the pups (non-breeding females produce milk and males compete to baby sit).
Usually four to six pups are born together. This is called a litter, and the pups in a litter are called litter mates. Pups are born inside a den. A den is sometimes a small cave or a hole dug out of the ground.
The den must be big enough for the mother and her pups. It shelters them from the weather and protects the pups from other animals that may want to hurt them. Packs sometimes use the same den year after year. At other times, they make or find a new den each year.
Pups grow inside their mother for about 63 days before being born. At birth they weigh only one pound, and their eyes are closed. Pups grow quickly. About 12 to 15 days after they are born, they open their eyes. By two weeks of age, the pups can walk, and about a week after that, they may come out of the den for the first time. At first, they live only on milk from their mother.
Responses to "Some Little Ones Learning How to "Wolf""


Our hearts go out to Shirley's children and her family. We were neighbors growing up and had a special friendship.
Our memories will always be in my heart. You are a special lady (friend). Our thoughts and prayers are with you all.

Sky Sports names two Chelsea players most likely to move in the January transfer window
Nathaniel Kay
Sky Sports have suggested that the two Chelsea players most likely to leave in the January transfer window are Antonio Rudiger and Kepa Arrizabalaga.
In their assessment of what each Premier League club needs to do in terms of incomings or outgoings, Sky felt that the Blues would be offloading excessive rather than welcoming in new players.
Rudiger and Arrizabalaga were put forward as the two main candidates to depart, as they have both struggled for game time.
The latter has been shy of confidence for some while following a string of shaky showings between the sticks, and faced the hammer blow as Frank Lampard brought in Edouard Mendy to replace him. His world's most expensive goalkeeper tag has been seriously dented, with Chelsea unlikely to gain any profitable return on the £71 million spent on him in 2018 (Telegraph).

Rudiger meanwhile has made just six appearances this season, failing to disrupt the centre back partnership of Kurt Zouma and Thiago Silva. He became a regular for Chelsea towards the tail-end of 2019/20, starting in the FA Cup final, yet has fallen out of favour with Lampard as he looks to offload the German international.

Sky did not offer any possible destinations for the pair, however did include several other names who could be exiting out the Stamford Bridge door.
Marcos Alonso, another to have dropped down the pecking order, has been linked to a possible move to Atletico Madrid by the Independent, the team that his father featured for during the 80s.
Seria A giants Inter Milan and Juventus are said to have voiced interest in left-back Emerson (Sky), although the Italian has impressed during his cameo roles in place of Ben Chilwell.

Talk over Olivier Giroud's future continues to swirl, whilst Sky claim Bayern Munich's pursuit of Callum Hudson-Odoi has apparently not simmered.
Chronicle View
I feel the departure of Rudiger is far more likely than that of Arrizabalaga.
Kepa has shown very little to suitors as to why they should take a punt on him, and to sell him for a cut-price would certainly not please Roman Abramovich.
On the other hand, Rudiger has qualities that would make him a suitable signing for a big European team, and his place at Chelsea has suffered more from injury than through his actions on the field.

This morning I set out with a solo 100km in mind. That's about as far as I ever go. I'm no long distance cyclist, preferring to smash out a more intense two or three hours in the saddle. Sometimes though you need to go on a journey and as I had nothing else to do all day, I just kept pedalling! By the time I got back to the car I had covered a shade over 166km! Quite accidentally, my longest ever ride (and only my second ever imperial century).
It was one of those mornings where the forecast said "awesome" but the actual weather was crap. It rained overnight, then rained again within the first 10km, washing all the lube from my freshly cleaned, polished and perfected drivetrain. I spent the next 80km with a dirty bike and an awfully annoying creaky drivetrain.
There was only one major climb of the day, the Cat 3 rated 4km long Grasstree Hill. It's a solid climb but has a fairly consistent gradient. If you pick the right tempo you can complete the whole climb using only one or two gears. Go too hard though and it's easy to misjudge and blow before the top. Even with a squeaking drivetrain I managed to set a PR up there, which bode well for the rest of the ride!
Descending the other side and crossing into Hobart the sun finally made an appearance! I stopped at the markets for lunch, scoffing down a double shot cappuccino, bratwurst burger and pancakes with ice cream. Then, sick of the dry chain grinding away my chainrings, I hunted for a bike shop to purchase a small bottle of lube! Thankfully AVANTI were open so I restored my drivetrain to smooth and silent once again using their courtesy customer workshop.
From pristine to filthy in a single rain shower!
By this stage I was making mental calculations as to whether I could eek out an imperial century or not. Making a note of average speed, distance to go and time until sunset (it's winter here so it gets dark early) I realised it was possible! I pushed on, but not before ducking into a roadside bakehouse for a delicious apple slice. That sugar and pastry hit powered me home over the final 25km and I rolled back to the car with a big grin on my exhausted face and my longest ever ride in the bag.
Previous Post Braking on wet carbon: the argument for disc brakes!
Kudos is due for that average speed. Kudos also for supporting local bike shops – people don't realise that you can't do 'pit stops' at online retailers that don't exist in the real world.
Thanks. It was a matter of getting my fuelling and pacing right. That bike shop is ace, also has its own cafe attached it it!
Nice job, brother. I much prefer the 100k to the 100 mile as well.
Welcome to your first real century! Metric centuries are fun little rides, but given the chance, I'll take a full century, if I have the time and sag support; they take planning and hard work!
Chapeau! Only 2 tons! ?
Thanks. Yep just the two hundred milers, both unplanned. Both in the middle of winter too!

The General Business Tax was first adopted on July 15, 1963. The methodology used for calculating the Business Tax (Chapter 4.76 of the San Jose Municipal Code) was adopted in 1984 and adjusted in 1986. In November 1996, the rates were increased to reflect an annual inflation factor as part of the New Realities Task Force recommendations contingent on voter approval. Because the voters did not approve the continuation of the increase in November 1998, the rates were returned to the levels prior to November 1996. Those rates stayed in effect until San José voters approved the Business Tax Modernization measure on November 8, 2016. In addition to expanding the application of tax to more business classes, the Business Tax Modernization measure also increased the base tax, the incremental tax, and the cap (the maximum amount of tax affecting large businesses). The Business Tax Modernization measure rates went into effect July 1, 2017 and will be adjusted annually on July 1st for inflation changes.
Modernization of the San José business tax was approved by San José voters on November 8, 2016 (Measure G). The approved changes will take effect July 1, 2017.
The City's business tax was first adopted in 1963, and the methodology for calculating the current business tax was first adopted in 1984. The current rates had not been increased since 1986, three decades ago. More than 65% of San José voters approved the modernization measure and new rates at the November 2016 election.
The charts on the Business Tax Rates page represent the structure of the current and voter-approved business tax rates effective July 1, 2017.
San José currently allows for several exemptions for the payment of the current business tax. These are provided by federal or state law, and several exemptions are specific to San José. The largest number of exemptions in San José is for businesses that qualify as a "low-revenue generating" small business (or "financial hardship").
Currently, the financial hardship business income threshold is based on the poverty level guidelines established by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The HHS poverty level is currently set at $12,060. Since the cost of living in the Bay Area is greater than the national average, the City Council approved an income threshold at two times (2X) the annual level established by the HHS.
Based on this formula, the City's current financial hardship exemption threshold based on the poverty level established by the HHS is $24,120. This hardship exemption is applied based on business income regardless of total household income.
As part of the modernization, San José voters approved adding an additional exemption category for small business owners with limited household incomes. A small business can be exempt where the adjusted gross income of the small business owner does not exceed four times (4X) the annual poverty level established by the HHS.
Based on the current HHS poverty level, this threshold would be based on a household income of $48,240. This exemption based on household adjusted gross income (IRS Form 1040, Line 37) will allow a more generous exemption for low income households, and it maintains the current financial hardship exemption program based on business income (IRS Form 1040, Line 12).
The extension for residential landlords has been extended to June 30, 2018.

Not long ago, while working on my memoir, I was thinking about a story that appeared in the news back in 2006, shortly after the boys were diagnosed with Fragile X Syndrome. It was about a woman in the United Kingdom who forced her 12-year-old son with Fragile X off a bridge, and she followed him, both falling to their deaths.
I had only known about Fragile X for a couple of weeks. I didn't know yet how it would envelope our lives. But here was a woman who had felt things were so hopeless for her son's future that she took him away from the world with her. She despaired when she saw a world that, if he were left without her protection, would abuse and torture her vulnerable son.
I have to say, that didn't fill me with confidence in our future.
Now - seven years later - I see a story in the news like this one - about Kelli and Issy Stapleton - the mother who attempted to kill herself and her autistic daughter - and I can easily understand what Kelli's mindset might have been. Her daughter was aggressive. Mostly Kelli took the brunt of the physical toll, because she placed herself there - between her daughter and the world. She did that because she knew that most people, and I mean, 99 out of 100 people she came in contact with, didn't understand Issy's aggression. 99 out of 100 people see aggression and think, violence. Intent to harm. Being a bully.
Issy' aggression (I am guessing - knowing she has autism, I'm making an educated guess), like my son Zack's, is more about self-defense. Self-defense against forces that those of us who don't live inside her or Zack's head don't see. Defense for themselves against themselves, a lot of the time.
If you see someone with autism hitting himself in the head, you might think "oh that poor person, so tortured by something inside him or herself that I can't see." If that same person hits another person in the head, you are more likely to think "What the crap? He didn't do anything to you."
An incredibly difficult concept, I know.
Another great example that helps identify the emotions that might be swirling through a special needs mother's mind is the book My Sister Dilly by Maureen Lang, an author who greatly inspires me. It's about a woman who tries to kill her severely disabled daughter after resources run dry and she loses hope. It doesn't give excuses. It simply tells the story of that mom's fall into the pit of despair, and how both she and her daughter survive it.
Kelli has spent Issy's life protecting her from a world that does not understand her and probably wouldn't try to, before condemning her for her aggression. And when she couldn't do that anymore, she did the only thing left she could think of to protect Issy - she tried to take her away from this world.
I don't think she thought she was hurting her daughter. I don't think she saw it that way at all. I think she thought she was saving her.
I get how insane that is. I get how wrong it is to kill. I just understand, I think, maybe better than some, where Kelli's mindset might have been and what her reasonings were. I can easily imagine what her life with Issy was like. There have been times when, to keep Zack from lashing out at others when he was overwhelmed and/or overstimulated, I permitted him to chomp down on my arm. I've put myself between him and the clueless world. I want to protect him.
I am deeply thankful for the help I've received along the way, because I know that is what separates me from Kelli. I haven't reached the end of any ropes. I'm supported and loved and so are my kids. I hope a tragedy like this results in better understanding and compassion of people with autism and how much we don't know about what goes on in other families.


Little Bit Funky: In the Night.
I wake in the night, not sure what has awoken me. I lay there as still as I can waiting to hear what comes next. It's not long before I know. It's happening again. Another night of yelling, screaming and throwing things. I can hear every word through the paper thin walls of our trailer. I roll over and hug myself to the wall. Praying and hoping that my door doesn't open. Praying that I won't be called to the witness stand as though our living room had become a court of twisted law. I hear a muffled cry. It belongs to one of my smaller siblings. They've managed to sneak to my room undetected. They huddle in close and we both lay there pretending to sleep in case the door should open suddenly.
It's funny the things that no one has to teach you as a child that lives in a house of alcohol and violence. You know not to speak up without ever being told. You know not to volunteer information because it will be used against you or someone else. You know to pretend to sleep even though the whole neighborhood is awakened by what is happening. You know not to talk about anything, ever.
I glance at the clock. It's 3:15am. I know that when I went to bed they were both asleep. Why does this always happen in the dead of night? What demons shake them from their slumber and rile them up to the point of screaming and throwing and hitting?
The door opens wildly. My name is yelled. I pretend to wake up with a start, rubbing my eyes at the light shining in. My testimony is needed. Where did we go today? Who did we see? How long were we there for? It doesn't matter what I say if it doesn't go along with what my father wants to hear. If my testimony doesn't line up with his theories it's thrown out of court immediately and I'm accused of siding with the enemy, a conspirator in lewd and unsavory behavior. I'm questioned to the point of tears. My mind searches frantically for the "right" words and answers. What will calm the demons? My efforts hit the wall like jello and drop to the floor. There is no right answer but I'm still expected to talk.
Eventually frustration with my lack of cooperation in his favor causes him to slam the door and leave me in darkness once again. Screaming, breaking and door slamming continue into the night until I can no longer keep my heavy eyes open.
I awake the next morning leery to leave my room. I'm a shell of a human walking through the expectations of my day. I'm a good student. I stay quiet and hidden at home as much as possible. I don't have any dreams or expectations for my life past running at full speed when I hit 18. My life is void of emotion, too much pain for a child to endure has stripped me of every feeling in the spectrum but fear, guilt and timidity. If there is a God he can't seem to get through these paper thin walls.
I awake in the night, not sure what has awoken me. I lay there in the silence trying to decide what it was that stirred me. I hear a whimper from the other room and slide out of bed to investigate. In the darkness I peer into the room that my two boys share and find my youngest stirring from a bad dream. I nudge him enough to bring him out of the dream and into the realization that he is safe. He calms quickly with a hug and a nuzzle and before I leave the room he is sleeping sweetly once again.
My heart is grateful that the occasional bad dream is the only evil that vexes my boys. My heart is full of love and thankfulness and peace. My children live the dreamy childhood that was so far from my own. The ease and abundance of blessings in my life is something that is brought forth in my list of thanks on a daily basis. My boys have never been woken in the night to face adult things. My boys have never been called to testify against a parent. My boys don't know fear, or guilt or timidity.
My life now is the opposite of that valley from long ago. Each day, each step, each ascent out of that dark place has been painful. The whys and wheres and what fors all had to be dealt with. The Lord has delivered me from a place that was barren of love, grace and favor into a place where my heart can barely contain my Joy. Slowly he has revealed to me where he was hidden in those days and his plans for their use in my future.
I've been praying for some time for a safe place to tell my story, to use it for good for others, to reach out to those still in the valley and give them a rope to hold onto. I'm thankful to have found this place and I can't wait to share my life with you."
Thank you for sharing this. I too remember waking to the yelling, the thumping, and the fear. It never goes away completely.
I, too, have been unfairly burdened by the weight of overwhelming pain and fear which wasn't mine and should never have been laid on my shoulders. And without delving into the unnecessary details of my story, I will say that I am astounded by how completely different your story is from my own, and yet the words you wrote sound so eerily like my own.
I'm only 33 years old, but I can honestly say that most of my life has been devoted to my attempts at overcoming my past. It has only been within the last five years, after being hit by some extremely unpleasant realities, that I have finally begun to discover what it is to truly be a "normal", "stable", and "healthy" adult.
Looking back, I thought I had overcome my past and it would be smooth sailing from the age of 19 on. Boy was I wrong!
But, my point is (sorry, I'll try not to ramble), after so many years spent trying to move past it all, denying that I hadn't moved past it, and finally finding the peace I have searched for my entire life, I now spend my time helping others to break their own unhealthy cycles and patterns learned as children. And one of my favorite sayings is that we almost never see ourselves in the same light which others see us.
The pain you feel is very clear as I read your post. The shame, discomfort, feeling as though you don't belong in your own skin. But you might be surprised by what you portrayed even more as you wrote this- you are much, much stronger than you think you are. Your past will never disappear, and it will mold you and help shape the person you will be in life. But you have the power to decide how you will allow it to shape you. I know it doesn't always seem as if you hold the power, but, I promise you, the power is in your hands, and once you learn to use it, your past will no longer define you again.
You have obviously worked very hard to overcome this, and you should be incredibly proud of how far you have come. There will still be times during which you feel as though you will never overcome this, times when it seems all you have is the pain and frustration. If you always remember that the control is yours, however, you will find that those moments of doubt will become less and less. Until you fully realize the strength inside of you and then you will be free. There is an end in sight.
In my work, I am always amazed at how rarely some people are told these things. And although you seem to have a great support system, I want you to know, from a stranger and fellow child of God, I can sense your strength and your persistence to move past this is obvious. And for that, I am so so proud of you. Many people simply give up, it's a daunting journey, but I have no doubt that you will succeed and get to the place where you finally have peace in your heart, soul, and life. I'll be rooting for you, and should you need some affirmation, I would gladly offer it to you. Good luck, you have done an amazing job.
Your children are blessed by having you as their mother. No child should have to bear what you and your siblings did when you were growing up.
Tell your story for those among us that pray daily. So many people pray for unknown souls that are in need and some of them will continue to pray after hearing your story. They will pray in hope that their prayers will ease the lives of children that have no one else to seek God's assistance for them.

Robert Jenrick claims 'the government would never penalise one part of the country over another'
It comes as Greater Manchester and the vast majority of areas in the north prepare to be put under extra coronavirus restrictions

Communities Secretary Robert Jenrick has rejected the anger felt in the north over the government's plans for further lockdown restrictions.
It comes as Greater Manchester and the vast majority of areas in the north prepare to be put under extra restrictions due to rising coronavirus infection rates.
On Monday, the Prime Minister Boris Johnson is set to outline a new three-tiered 'traffic light' system of restrictions with measures expected to force pubs and restaurants shut across the north of England.
The reports have been met with anger from northern leaders who have found themselves locked out of lockdown decisions.

But Mr Jenrick told BBC's The Andrew Marr Show on Sunday that the measures are 'universal' and they're not 'penalising' one particular part of the country.
He said: "You say that there's anger in the North, but the measures that we are bringing in here are universal.
"These apply across the whole of the United Kingdom and there is nothing that we would ever do that penalises one part of the country over another."
The northern leaders, including Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham, have joined together to send an open letter to the government demanding a re-think of the financial support measures for those impacted by new lockdown rules expected next week.

It also warned they risk plunging residents into 'severe hardship in the run-up to Christmas'.
Mr Burnham, when asked on Times Radio what he would say to Mr Jenrick, said: "Isn't it time for a major change here, a complete reversal of what we have seen so far?
"Localising the response to this crisis but critically, as Joe said, putting in place a help package and an economic package to help the North of England through.
"I would say to him this, ''Are we levelling up here or are we levelling down? Which is it?
"If you go ahead with this financial package, in my view, that will be to break what the government said it would do when they were elected.
"If they continue with this, jobs will be lost, businesses will collapse, the fragile economies of the North will be shattered.
"The government has a real choice here, if it proceeds on the path it is on, in my view, the central so-called mission of this government to level-up will be over."

War (painting)
War (Bolt Thrower album)
1971 war
Product Red
Red (T'Pau album)
A Talk
War is a painting created by Portuguese-British visual artist Paula Rego in 2003.
War is a large pastel on paper composition measuring 1600mm x 1200mm. A rabbit-headed woman stands prominently in the center carrying a wounded child, surrounded by several realistic and fantastic figures recalling a style Rego describes as "beautiful grotesque".
For The Telegraph's Alastair Sooke, "The more you look at War, the curiouser and curiouser it becomes. Rego's white rabbits owe more to Richard Kelly's film Donnie Darko than Lewis Carroll's Wonderland."
The painting first appeared as part of Rego's "Jane Eyre and Other Stories" exhibition at Marlborough Fine Art in London in 2003. It was inspired by a photograph that appeared in The Guardian near the beginning of the Iraq War, in which a girl in a white dress is seen running from an explosion, with a woman and her baby unmoving behind her. In an interview conducted in relation to the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía's 2007 exhibition, Rego said of this painting, "I thought I would do a picture about these children getting hurt, but I turned them into rabbits' heads, like masks. It's very difficult to do it with humans, it doesn't get the same kind of feel at all. It seemed more real to transform them into creatures."
This page contains text from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia - https://wn.com/War_(painting)
War is a live album by Bolt Thrower recorded in Manchester 1992, on an 8-track tape. It was originally recorded by the band members in order to have some of their own live recordings for posterity. Later on Earache Records wanted to release a special edition of the ...For Victory album, thus it was packed with that album in 1994 in a limited 2CD package. I.e. they just replaced the box with a 2CD box and added the second disc. The album is sometimes known or listed as Live War.
It said Mosh 124 on the promo edition, that is a mistake, because Mosh 124 is a Fudge Tunnel album according to the official Earache catalogue.

Product Red, styled as (PRODUCT)RED, is a licensed brand that seeks to engage the private sector in raising awareness and funds to help eliminate HIV/AIDS in Africa. It is licensed to partner companies including Nike, American Express (UK), Apple Inc., The Coca-Cola Company, Starbucks, Converse, Electronic Arts, Head, Bugaboo, Penguin Classics (UK & International), Gap, Armani, Hallmark (US), SAP and Beats Electronics (Beats by Dr. Dre). The concept was founded in 2006 by U2 frontman and activist, Bono, together with Bobby Shriver of the ONE/DATA. The Global Fund to Fight AIDS, Tuberculosis and Malaria is a recipient of (RED) money.
As part of a new business model, each partner company creates a product with the Product Red logo. In return for the opportunity to increase revenue through the Product Red license, a 50 percent of the profit gained by each partner is donated to the Global Fund. As Product Red is a private company, a portion of the contributions received from the partner brands is assigned as profit. Such an amalgamation of humanitarian aid and for-profit businesses is one example of "ethical consumerism."

Red is the fourth studio album by British pop/rock group T'Pau. It was released in 1998, and was the first album since The Promise from 1991.
The group originally gained success in the late 1980s and split in the early 1990s. In 1997 original lead singer Carol Decker reformed the band with a completely new line-up and released a brand new version of their original hit "Heart and Soul". The new line-up started playing gigs and recorded this album in 1998. The album was released on Decker's own Gnatfish label, and would be released in America during late 1999 with a bonus CD featuring three extra tracks (including the 1997 version of "Heart and Soul"). In 2007, the album was officially released for download. It would be Decker's last album/single release until the 2007 solo single "Just Dream".
After the original split of T'Pau, Decker attempted a solo career. In 1993, she contributed a track to the soundtrack of the film Dirty Weekend, and the following year a small number of live performances followed. In 1995 she released the single "One Heart" - as the official anthem for the Halifax World Cup Rugby League Centenary '95. It peaked at #130 in the UK. She performed the song at Wembley Stadium during the opening and closing ceremonies. By 1997 though, Decker had taken the decision to build a 'new' T'Pau around her, and get back on the road after assembling a massive amount of new material. Although she considered continuing as a solo artist, it was advised that it would be easier if the band name was rekindled. The newly reformed band featured none of the original members aside from Decker. A brand new version of the band's original hit "Heart and Soul" was released as "Heart and Soul '97" (featuring the future Red album track "Make Love to Me"), and the band went onto Cilla Black's Surprise Surprise TV show to perform the song. However it was not a commercial success.

Q: Need to embed new header menu in joomla i am using Joomla 2.5 inbuilt registration Form ,I Need to a new header menu after the successful user log-in. how to do this ? Can we integrate Different header menu for Different page(artical). Please help.

A: There are two options.
First one that you could create two menus, one for registered and one for non-registered users and use different module after login.
Second option to use the same menu and set different items for each group. The selection could be made under:
Menus -> *Menu_Name -> *Menu_Item -> Access: Public / Registered

EDIT: In order to set menu items available only for non-registered users you have to select Guest Access Level: Allowing Guest-Only Access to Menu Items and Modules.
Hope this helps

Q: Launching external jar file from Java application I want to execute an external jar file from one of my java applications. The jar (program 2) should be immediatly launched when the following code is executed (program 1):
        Process proc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("c:\\program files\\java\\jre1.8.0_161\\bin\\java -jar C:\\DocumentCloud\\Workspace\\Wordseller_V2\\wordseller_2.jar " + fileName);

Strangely, prgram 2 is not launched immediatly with the above code. Instead, program 2 will be launched after program 1 is finished/closed. I find this behavior rathe strange, but I couldn't find a solution to solve the issue. I already tried to launch program2 from a seperate thread, but this didn't help.
Your support will be appreciated. Thanks a lot in advance.
Bet regards
uli

A: It is really hard to answer this question without more information, however based on the code you have shown, the issue is likely that because you are not calling waitFor() on the process, your program is asynchronously kicking off this process, and the completing. If you want your program to wait for this other process to complete, you are going to have to block your program's main thread.
