Quick Facts of Christina Ochoa
Full Name: Christina Ochoa

Net Wort: h$10 million
Relationship: Single
Father: Victor Ochoa
Birth Name: Christina Ochoa
Date of Birth: January 25, 1985 (age 35 years)

Christina Ochoa is a Spanish actress, author, and science communicator who has appeared in various television series, including Modern Family, Animal Kingdom, and Valor. She belongs to the family of artists and scientists, and that's why she's an incredible writer, Science communicator as well as a successful actor.
She also has appeared on various shows such as Professor Blastoff, Talk Nerdy, and webisodes of STEM Education. Additionally, Ochoa is also a member of the Los Angeles Committee for Science for Society. Again in 2017, she took on the role of a commentator for the Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF) in 2017, and she also is an active member of Mensa since 2009.
Christina Ochoa Early Life & Education
Lopez was born in Barcelona, Spain, on 25 January 1985. Hollywood-based actress Cristina Ochoa Lopez is currently 34 years old. The Spanish-American actress is of Cuban-Spanish heritage, and her ethnicity is Caucasian (White). As a grand-niece of 1959 Nobel Prize winner Severo Ochoa, she had a passion for science in her blood and growing up, she wanted to become a physicist and bio-chemist just like the Spanish scientist Severo.
However, she was equally into arts as she is the daughter of an acclaimed Spanish sculptor Victor Ochoa.
She entered the University of Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, studied oceanographic engineering and the University of James Cook, and studied advanced marine biology. Later, she attended Universidad Nacional de Educación a Distancia (UNED) but fell out to carry on with her acting career.
Why is she famous?
"Science was all my life… But when I got on stage for the first time, there was a void inside me that was suddenly filled … one I hadn't even known was empty"—— Christina Ochoa
Christina is famous among children, Science nerds, and series fans as a multi-talented actress, communicator, writer, show host, and Science Journal writer. First, Ochoa was a hobbyist actor, who started her career with theater performances in Washington, D.C., at a small theater in Alexandria. Shortly after that, she chose to follow a performing art career; so, she moved to Madrid to study and work in the field.
Ochoa then started working on T.V., including I Hate My Teenage Daughter, Modern Family, and Spain's La que se conina, and was seen in numerous movies such as Cats Dancing on Jupiter.
She is the QE (Quantum Entanglement) Productions' founder and proprietor as well. On the Robert Rodríguez show, Matador, Ochoa played Karen Morales in 2014. From 2016 to 2018, she depicted Renn in the TNT drama Animal Kingdom. She is in an NBC Universal SyFy Blood Drive series in 2017. On 20 February 2018, in the ABC drama series A Million Little Things, Ochoa played Ashley Morales before the series was taken off the cable network in May 2018.
Additionally, on 31 January 2019, Ochoa left the series after one season and the 13th episode "Twelve Seconds."
Ochoa has written essays and articles for several journals. Her first published work was released in Vogue Spain. She is a regular columnist for H. She also has a monthly column in El Imparcial.
She is an active member of Mensa since 2009. After graduating from Santa Isabel La Asunción in Madrid, she started her degree in oceanographic engineering at the Universidad de las Palmas de Gran Canaria. At James Cook University in Australia, she studied the advanced marine biology studies for marine biology and research, where she concentrated on Elasmobranchii, a subclass that involves sharks and rays.
She also registered at the Universidad Nacional de Educacion a Distancia (UNED) in new topics in particle physics but merged into full-time acting before she finished her master's degree.
Ochoa is the host of the Know Brainer instructional podcast and has hosted several science conferences and displays on the Young Turks network, including the college preparation program MESA, Bitesize T.V.'s Chaotic Awesome, and NERD ALERT. She is also a member of the Los Angeles Science and Society Science Committee, which encourages science in society and science literacy, which also holds the Intel Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF). She was a commentator for ISEF 2017.
Professor Blastoff, part of the Earwolf network; Cara Santa Maria's Talk Nerdy; and several internet STEM education platforms, also participated as an expert guest on the science comedy podcast.
Is Christina Ochoa Single Or Dating?
Thirty-four years old, Christina Ochoa is reportedly living a single life as of 2020. We say this because we haven't seen or heard any rumors about Ochoa seeing anyone after her breakup. Some tabloids have rumored she is now having an affair with Actor Ben Robson. Still, the pair so far hasn't affirmed the rumor, they, however, look more than just friends, and Robinson is Ochoa's on-screen love interest in the Animal Kingdom.
In 2013, Christina Ochoa had earlier been involved with actor Nathan Fillion, but after a year, the pair called off their commitment citing some individual differences.
She also dated another handsome actor Derek Theler. The duo split in early 2016 after dating for almost two years. Alike Christina's past affair, the reason for this split also remains unexplained.
Ochoa Net worth & Salary
Christina is successful in every field she is involved with. Her portfolio lists Ochau as an actress, a writer, a science journalist, commentator, and T.V. show host. Each of her profession pays her over $75 to $80 thousand along with that; she receives an added fund in royalty from her book sales.
She further charges over $150 K per show as a host, and she is endorsed by many swimming accessories and swimsuits, which also pays her in 5 digit number. So, altogether, the actress is currently making around $1 million only in salaries, let alone modeling and video shoots. Hence, her total net worth as per our assumption is around $10 million. Congratulations to the Spanish beauty for reaching double digits in millions.
Christina Ochoa Body Measurements
Ochoa has a beautiful body; she is a yoga fan with a hourglass figure measuring 37-25-37 inches/ 94-64-94 cm. Further, her bust size is 37 inches. Additionally, she perfectly fits size 8 (U.S.).
Christina is 5′ 10" tall, and her waist size is 25 inches /64 cm. Her sexy figure is again complemented by a pair of blue eyes and brown hair.
Ochoa has more than 109k+ Instagram followers. She's an active part of the' Los Angeles Science for Society.' She participated in the ISEF in 2017. She also attended the ISEF.

Photographer Mark Burns crisscrossed the United States for four-and-a-half years to capture images of all 59 national parks. The native Houstonian planned ahead, paying close attention to the weather, the tides, and the position of the sun and the moon. During a walk through his exhibit at the Houston Museum of Natural Science with Pulse reporter Britni N. Riley, Burns reflected on his journey.
A: 2016 marks the centennial anniversary of the National Park Service. It's a special time to reflect back on the 100 years we have had, but it is also a time to look forward to the next 100 years and what the plan is going to be to continue to protect the parks and keep them special and sacred.
Q: How did you prepare for your trips?
A: Weather was a huge part of my project so I would print out sheets of paper with sunrise and sunset times, moonrise and moonset times. I would keep a book with me to know where the sun and moon would be at all times. I also included tide tables when I was at parks near water. I also made and cancelled a lot of hotel reservations depending on weather patterns that I was following.
Q: How did you get to all of the parks?
A: I drove 160,000 miles in my Toyota FJ Cruiser to every national park in the lower 48 and flew out of Alaska and Hawaii to get to the rest of the parks.
Q: How did this project affect you physically?
A: I am 57 now, but when you are 55 and you're at 13,000 feet elevation with 50 lb. packs on your back, it is kind of tough to walk and hike. Carrying around my camera equipment gave me a bit of a handicap and I realized I had to slow down. I told people I was a turtle; I would go low and slow.
Q: Did you have specific shots in mind when you went to each park, or did you let the parks dictate the images?
A: It was all about captured moments for me, which meant a lot of waiting. It wasn't just running around taking pictures of everything, it was spending a few days looking for a composition that I really liked and then just waiting for the composition or the atmosphere or the time of day that I liked. That being said, not all of the shots worked out. I went back to some of the parks three or four times trying to get clouds or atmosphere or fog.
Q: Why aren't the photos in color?
A: I did the project in black and white as a sort of timeless bridge back to the past century—so they would look similar to pictures done around 1916 or the '20s or '30s.
Q: Let's get technical for a minute. What kind of cameras did you use?
A: I started off the project using a 4×5 film field camera, which is a large format field camera where you put the dark cloth over your head. I love that kind of photography; that's what I grew up studying and learning. But after a few months, it became rapidly evident that it was too time-consuming. So I switched over exclusively to digital and I settled on the Nikon D800. The camera bodies were light enough that I could pack and carry two with me, along with a couple of lenses and filters that I needed.
Q: What was the most unusual park you visited?
A: One of the most different parks I visited was in American Samoa, way out in the Pacific Islands. One of the mammals they protect is the fruit bat. They fly all over the park and they are huge—like a Chihuahua with bat wings.
Q: Where was the most remote location you visited?
A: Wrangell – St. Elias in Alaska, which is the largest park in the national park system. It is about as big as the state of Maryland. This was one of the few that was done from an airplane. We had the doors off of the little bush plane. If you landed or you walked or you hiked, you wouldn't be able to capture the scale. I wanted to do it from the air to show the miles and miles of glacier.
A: It was a life-changing experience. I always had an appreciation for the outdoors and nature, but now I have just a really deep connection and appreciation for the earth and all of the cycles. I didn't believe in global warming before I started this project, but there is definitely a warming cycle happening and I think seeing how many glaciers have melted in the past 100 years is a reminder that we all need to be more aware of our responsibility to protect this land.
Q: What do you hope visitors will take away from your exhibit?
A: Nature is a great soother and healer and, in a lot of ways, it is a total contrast from the normal busy world of iPhones and schedules and appointments. When you are able to go into a park and spend a few days in nature with that sort of solitude, it is just a great therapeutic experience. I want to increase awareness of what the parks offer and I want people to be aware of the value of protecting natural lands.
Q: How does it feel to have your work on display in a major Houston museum?
A: It's almost surreal because when I was growing up here in Houston, we would come on field trips to the Houston Museum of Natural Science. And now, today, I see kids from all over being bussed into the museum and they are coming to see my photographs! So it is a huge honor.
A: My next project will start this fall in the Grand Canyon, which celebrates its 100th anniversary as a national park in 2019. I will do both black and white and color, and I'll be using different sizes of cameras to get an in-depth look at all angles of the canyon.
Where: Houston Museum of Natural Science, 5555 Hermann Park Dr.

Charming Vintage Photos Show The Waikiki Of Yesteryear
Does anybody have a time machine?
Landess Kearns

Ah, Waikiki, land of swaying palm trees, carefully crafted mai tais, and blissful stretches of beachfront resorts.
Even before Hawaii became a state in 1959, Waikiki was a beloved tourist destination. Since then, the area has changed and developed drastically. Modern-day Waikiki has evolved into a bustling shopping district with some of the best people-watching known to man.
The Waikiki of today has its merits, but after exploring the historical photography collections of the Moana Surfrider and the Royal Hawaiian, two of Waikiki's oldest hotels, we're seriously wishing for a time machine.
Below, a sample of photos, provided by Starwood Hotels and Resorts, that show images of a time gone by:
Surfers ride the waves at one of Waikiki's famed surf breaks in the early 1900s.
This pre-World War I photo shows the Moana Surfrider Hotel, built in 1901. Its first-ever guests paid $1.50 for their rooms each night.

The town of Annaburg looks back on a long history which has its origin in a 13th century hunting lodge. The site, and in later years the town growing around the lodge, were called Lochau up to the 16th century. Frederick the Wise of Saxony, who supported the work of Martin Luther by granting his protection, died here in 1525. The town of Annaburg owes its present name to the electress Anna, known also as Mother Anna.
Today, Annaburg consists of several districts, some of which have been populated for over 1000 years. The eponymous castle, the impressive buildings and timber-framed houses around the town square rank among the highlights of the town. The museum with exhibitions on the town's history is situated at the town hall right on the town square. Visits to the Annaburg Porcelain Museum and the Samendarre are also recommended.
Day trippers setting out to explore the lovely surrounding nature by bike or on foot may choose from numerous options. Built-out cycling paths, coming in from Wittenberg via Mauken, lead straight to the tourist information center in Prettin. The Strandklause, a lakeside bar, invites you in for a break. The town wall surrounding the 1050 year-old town of Prettin as well as the Romanesque church of the Lichtenburg Castle with its five exhibition complexes are worth a visit. Located at the Prettin Castle is also the memorial site of the Lichtenburg concentration camp. Well worth seeing is also the Axien church with interior paintings dating back to the 12th century.
Various circular routes lead to the Weinberg stud, to St. Hedwig Church at Hohndorf, or through the nearby forest. If you plan on staying a little longer in this beautiful area, you can pitch a tent on the near camping site.
In order to hear exciting stories about the town of Annaburg-Prettin and interesting notes on the significance of the buildings, it is well worth booking a guided tour.
For friends of ecclesiastical buildings the churches Axien, Labrun, Lebien and Prettin are worth a visit.
Get outdoors and bike your way into the region's natural beauty with its picturesque meadows and forests, by using the Elbe Cycle Route to Prettin and the Elbe-Elster- Cycle Path to get to Annaburg.
The best way to explore the beautiful seascape of Prettin is to use the wide range of outdoor activities, such as fishing, bowling, playing volleyball, going on a lovely pedal boat tour, playing minigolf and much more.

Literary Analysis "Terrorist He's Watching'' by Wislawa Szymborska Speech
Buy custom Literary Analysis "Terrorist He's Watching'' by Wislawa Szymborska
The author's purpose in this work is that of a creative statement. The poem is mostly about the fragility of life and destiny. The work is not so much about the terrorists, as one would think at first read, it is about the bomb. More importantly, the poem is about the explosion and what that entails for life following it. Szymborska is not necessarily trying to influence the reader's beliefs or values directly, but the author is trying to get the reader to realize how precious life is, and how even the smallest of decisions can change everything. The phrase: "The girl's gone. Was she that dumb, did she go in or not, we'll see when they carry them out", really brings the idea home how fragile life is. The way the author uses words like "fat" and "bald" to describe the customers, shows how the author wants to portray the normality of the customers.
The way the author uses the countdown technique makes the work more suspenseful. This, in turn, causes the pace of the poem to quicken as a relatively larger amount of time is covered in this number of lines. Furthermore, the way the narrator describes the scene so matter-of-factly makes the work seem heartless. However, the description of each customer contradicts this, because the narrator seems genuinely concerned about each one. This creates a nice contrasting effect which almost forces the reader to decide how he or she feels about it. The phrase: "and what a view ? just like in the movies:", makes the reader able to picture the scene, and really become a part of it. The abrupt ending of the poem with the line "The bomb, it explodes", leaves an eerie silence to the reader.
The work communicates fairly well. The author leaves the reader feeling sorry for the characters and the people who are connected to them. After the line "The bomb, it explodes", the reader feels sort of lost, as well as a strong sadness toward the characters. However, the reader also feels angry about the narrator for not doing anything about the explosion. The reader cannot help but feel a strong sense of appreciation for his or her own life. Thus realizing how precious life is, which is what is to be believed as the author's purpose.
The text has value to the reader for the sheer fact that each person should appreciate his or her life, as well as understand how fragile it all is. The work is worth the effort to readjust as a reminder of how one should live with no regrets in case they were to be in a situation like the one described. I believe the work is insightful and meaningful because it documents the real emotions involved in a terrorist attack. I feel the author's real purpose was to say something meaningful and not to just make money, because of the type of poem the work was. I believe after an analysis of the text, the piece is worthwhile, and a very insightful piece.

When a pasture looks worn and weary, it may be time to renew it, but avoid doing it instantly – plan the job for best results. This operation can cost up to $600 per hectare or more when it's done properly, so you need to calculate its costs and weight up the benefits against the drawbacks. Pasture renewal can be risky – the weather can turn against you, pests can chew the seedlings, there will be a spell when the paddock is out for growing feed, and soil can blow away when you cultivate.
When you decide to sow a new pasture there are now over 150 different certified cultivars of grasses, legumes, grazing herbs and other forages, including brassicas and fodder cereals to choose from. It's bewildering, and even worse, most of them are sown in a seeds mixture. But by growing a mixed pasture, the livestock will have more balanced feed to graze.
The first step in planning pasture renewal is to check on the soil fertility of the paddock that isn't performing and give it the fertiliser needed to bring it up to a suitable status. Then update your knowledge about the forage plants. Pasture plants are like any other toolkit – so choose the most suitable tools and use them properly. The idea is to select the species and the types within each species that will perform on your particular soils and in your pasture environment.
A book titled Pasture and Forage plants for New Zealand is available from the NZ Grassland Association ($20.00 within New Zealand - phone 0800 472 775). This book gives detailed independent technical information on pasture and forage species and types, and to decide exactly what seeds to sow a CD Rom called ForageMaster is now available and is easy to use.

The recent trend of 'scalp microblading' is extremely worrying for a number of reasons. Perhaps in hindsight, an inevitable consequence of hundreds of eyebrow microbladers being introduced to the scalp micropigmentation industry by certain trainers, many technicians are now citing scalp microblading as the next big thing.
Some even suggest the technique is somehow better than hair follicle simulation, or traditional SMP. Unfortunately this presumption is usually made by new technicians, from microblading backgrounds, that have very little understanding of the scalp micropigmentation process, and its risks.
This was Ryan Kingsbury's take on the matter, used with permission.
To most this will be common sense, but to those that are new to the industry and thinking of attempting this, please for the love of baby Jesus don't do it.
I've seen many posts in other groups that really have me scared, regarding microblading on the scalp to replicate hair. My wife has been in the PMU industry for over 16 years and has seen things that would keep you awake staring at the wall for a week straight. Hellish nightmares worse than most horror movies. Scalp Microblading is something that should NEVER be done or tried.
A hair follicle on the scalp is not the same as an eyebrow. Thickness, shape, pattern, all these come into play since no hair follicle on the scalp is ever really the same. Some have one strand some even have 2 or 3 making the size and pattern of the follicle irregular as well as bigger or smaller. These impressions can only be replicated by a 1RL or 3RL needle with the proper machine and equipment. NOT a blade of needles.
A follicle is never a strand of hair obviously until months and months of growth, so the only way you can properly replicate a follicle is through scalp micropigmentation to create the natural realistic look of a full head of shaved hair. This can also be used on women as most of us know to create a look of thickness and fullness with SMP density.
There's a huge difference between SMP and microblading as with SMP the impressions are fast with light taps into the epidermis, depositing very small amounts of pigment to replicate a shaved follicle. Also it's non surgical and does no damage to the scalp.
Cutting or microblading the scalp will cause significant trauma and damage to the scalp, plus when you go deep into the skin at longer amounts of time implanting strands of pigment, it can cause dermal staining through pigment migration which will look completely unnatural with possible blowouts that look nothing like hair follicles.
When the hair loss gets worse, even if you did the proper depth, the bladed strands are still there with no hair around them and they take a lot longer to fade than an SMP impression and it looks even worse if they migrate. SMP impressions fade naturally when done right and can be easily touched up to cover the hair loss. Thick bladed strands cannot.
If you're going to replicate hair on the scalp please get proper training in SMP and do it correctly, protect yourself and your client. Leave microblading for the eyebrows only.

What Does Nepal Expect from Modi 2.0?
Written by Kamal Dev Bhattarai
When Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi began his second term in May, there was a sense of expectation in Kathmandu that the Nepal-India relationship would take a positive turn with new vigor. However, it remains unclear what Modi's broader South Asia policy in his second term, as outlined and led by the newly-appointed Indian Minister of External Affairs Dr. S. Jaishankar, has in store for Nepal and India. Persistent issues in the bilateral relationship mean that the potential for bilateral hiccups remains high. The trajectory of the Nepal-India relationship in Modi's second term will be determined by India's responses to the underlying irritants in the bilateral relationship, such as divergent outlooks on issues ranging from regional institutions to China's role in South Asia.
Modi'sFirst Term
When Narendra Modi was elected in May 2014, he took proactive measures to elevate the Nepal-India relationship. For example, from 1997 to 2014, no Indian prime minister visited Nepal, but almost all Nepali prime ministers began foreign state visits with India. In 2014 alone, Modi visited Kathmandu twice, and in his five-year tenure, he visited Nepal four times. In Nepal, these visits were viewed as significant trust-building efforts designed to build relations at the political level. After a hiatus of 22 years, the meeting of Nepal-India Joint commission, a mechanism responsible for overseeing bilateral issues, took place.
Meanwhile, Kathmandu was in the process of drafting the final chapter of its constitution. Nepali leaders—typically wary of Indian interference in internal political affairs—felt optimistic that Modi would not dictate Nepal's constitution drafting process. However, when Nepal drafted a new constitution, India imposed a border blockade to press Nepali leaders to address the demands of Madhesi-based parties (regional parties active in the southern belt bordering India). These tensions continued for four months, marking a low point in India and Nepal's recent bilateral relations.
Relations did not improve once the blockade was removed. In 2016, for example, Nepal cancelled its president's planned visit last minute; the then Communist Party of Nepal (Unified Marxist-Leninist) blamed India for toppling the K.P. Sharma Oli-led government. Additionally, issues have surfaced around the Nepal-India Eminent Persons' Group (EPG) report, in which Kathmandu hopes to amend several treaties and conventions. Nepal hopes to amend these unfair treaties and conventions in order to curb the ballooning trade imbalance between the two countries. Taking all of these tensions into account, both sides postponed major bilateral efforts until after India's elections.
TheUnderlying Issues
Three unresolved bilateralissues are poised to inhibit the progression of India and Nepal's bilateralrelationship throughout Modi's second term.
First, there remain underlying tensions around India and Nepal's views of South Asia's regional institutions broadly. In 2018, Nepal suddenly pulled out of the joint Bay of Bengal Initiative for Multi-Sectoral Technical and Economic Cooperation (BIMSTEC) military drills in Pune, India, revealing some tension between Nepal and India over New Delhi's aims of upholding BIMSTEC as an alternative to the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). Soon after assuming the position of Minister of External Affairs, S. Jaishankar clearly indicated that India wants to revive BIMSTEC—which excludes Pakistan—over SAARC. As the current chair and founding member of SAARC, Nepal regards the revival of SAARC as its moral responsibility and the convening of the 19th SAARC summit as the starting point of the group's revival. Yet India has time and again said that regional atmosphere is not conducive to holding a SAARC summit. As a result, the issue of SAARC will continue plague bilateral relations between Nepal and India.
Of similar importance is the Nepal-India EPG report. India and Nepal formed the bilateral group three years ago to suggest methods of redefining bilateral issues. The report, which the group prepared in 2018, has yet to be submitted to Prime Minister Modi. In the initial months, India side refused to accept the report citing some objectionable provisions of report which were corrected. Once the concerns of Indian side were addressed, Indian side cited the election result and assured Nepal that it would submit report once the election is over. In the report, however, Nepali experts proposed reviewing all bilateral treaties and agreements between the two countries, including amending the 1950 Treaty of Peace and Friendship—the bedrock of the current India-Nepal bilateral relationship. Because the ruling Nepali Communist Party's election manifesto pledged "to revise\amend unequal treaties" with India, there is significant pressure on Oli to deliver an amendment to the treaty. If Modi refuses to accept the report, however, this may cause friction in the India-Nepal relationship, as the government in Kathmandu holds the view that the EPG report will help to reset bilateral relations in the changed context.
Finally, Nepal and India's relations with great powers have come to affect their bilateral relationship. After promulgating its 2015 constitution, Nepal has been more assertive in conducting policy without any foreign interference. At the moment, however, Kathmandu is confronting two opposing visions: China's Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) and the U.S. Free and Open Indo-Pacific (FOIP) strategy, and faces a difficult task of delicately balancing these two opposing views. Both promise Nepal greater prosperity but exist in opposition to one another.
Kathmandu is confronting two opposing visions: China's Belt and Road Initiative and the U.S. Free and Open Indo-Pacific strategy, and faces a difficult task of delicately balancing these two opposing views. Both promise Nepal greater prosperity but exist in opposition to one another.
Nepal faces a particular dilemma over its economic ties with Beijing. While China has majorly stepped up its presence in the country as Nepal's single-largest source of foreign direct investment, the United States has also recently demonstrated a desire to elevate Nepal under its FOIP strategy against China. India and the United States maintain reservations about Chinese investment in large-scale infrastructure projects and growing influence in South Asia, including Nepal. Consequently, Nepal has so far adopted a cautious approach while preferring projects under BRI. Kathmandu must chart a course between its two neighbors as it engages with Beijing on BRI to avoid friction in the India-Nepal relationship.
Kathmandu has also recently been met with the possibility of a closer defense relationship with the United States. The U.S. Indo-Pacific strategy document, unveiled in June, stated that Washington would like a deeper defense ties with Nepal "focused on HA/DR, peacekeeping operations, defense professionalization, ground force capacity, and counterterrorism." Though India may be coming together with the United States in the Indo-Pacific, New Delhi is likely to be hesitant of a warmer Nepal-U.S. defense relationship given the unique relationship between the Indian and Nepali armies (India has a long history of recruiting the Gorkha regiments of the Indian army from the hill districts of Nepal). Nepal will have to be mindful of its relationship with India if it begins cultivating and deepening defense ties with the United States.
MovingForward
For India's part, it should recognize that only a strong and prosperous Nepal can address India's genuine security interests in Nepal, such as counterfeit currency and the chances of terrorist groups misusing the border. As a neighbor, India should be generous in addressing concerns raised by Nepal, instead of viewing Nepal as only a potential sphere of influence. Of late, the degree of India's interference in Nepal's political affairs has seemed to decrease, positively contributing to bilateral relations. Continuing a policy of noninterference will foster an environment more conducive to solving other bilateral issues.
For Nepal's part, the government should resolve differences with India exclusively through diplomatic channels, rather than taking those issues to the street in order to take political benefits.
For Nepal's part, the government should resolve differences with India exclusively through diplomatic channels, rather than taking those issues to the street in order to take political benefits. By taking bilateral issues to the people for political gain, Nepal's leaders may have a harder time reaching compromise at the diplomatic table later on, as public opinion may have already hardened against India. Finally, Nepal has been—and should continue to be—cautious on how to tackle the two conflicting visions of BRI and FOIP. Both India and Nepal should work hard to enhance their bilateral relations independently of BRI and FOIP. The countries should instead cooperate on resolving simple issues such as the inundation of Nepali land due to Indian construction along the border, trade bottlenecks, and minor border disputes.
Both Nepal and India are close neighbors and can therefore not afford to strain the relationship as they have in the past. Nepal, coming out of chronic political instability, is solely focused on its economic development. The time is now for the second Modi government to contribute to Nepal's journey toward economic prosperity.

Proposed Legislation to Establish a Regional Energy Corporation for the Pacific Northwest
EMD-77-61: Published: Aug 16, 1977. Publicly Released: Aug 16, 1977.
H.R. 5862 is a bill to establish a regional energy corporation with power to generate and purchase, integrate and pool, and market all the electric energy in the Pacific Northwest region with emphasis on conservation of energy and a preferential rate for residential customers. The legislation would make significant changes in the present structure of the electric utility industry in the Pacific Northwest.
Section 3 of the legislation would create a corporate body, the Columbia Basin Energy Corporation, to carry out the purposes of the legislation. The bill would not require the Corporation to periodically report to the Congress and the people of the Pacific Northwest region on the status of its programs. The Corporation would market power at wholesale to both investor-owned and publicly-owned electric utilities. It would sell power at a preferentially lower rate for power resold for residential housing, which includes schools and hospitals.

When it comes to content marketing, there is a ton of different types of content you can leverage to attract and convert potential customers.
It's incredibly important to be strategic about which content you're using at each stage of the buyer's journey, and to consider which audience will see it.
Have I lost you yet? Keep reading as we break down the best content to use and when to use it.
Top level content helps users become acquainted with you and your brand, creating brand awareness. Top level content's main purpose it to get a brand on people's radar, so that they may become interested in learning more.
Mid-level content delves a little bit deeper. It's intended for audiences who are maybe already acquainted with your brand, or have potentially already interacted with you by following a social page, or looked at your website. Mid level content can help potential customers who are in the consideration stage of the buyer's journey, and who may be comparing and contrasting several brands or products.
Bottom level content is kind of the full monty. It's for those who are ready to make purchases or sign on the dotted line. This kind of content provides more of the total picture, and helps in the decision phase of the buyer's journey. It gives those customers primed for purchase the opportunity to engage one-on-one with your products or services.
It's also important to remember that these forms of content differ on two different levels, depending on where the customer is in the buyer's journey and whether the prospect is B2B or B2C. We'll discuss content that works best for each, though depending on your ideal buyer persona, there can be some overlap.
Now that we've covered that, let's get into actual forms of content.
Blogs are a content marketing staple. They're useful because they can show the knowledge and expertise you and your company possess and add credibility to your brand. They can be helpful for potential customers in educating themselves, or they can be used to create trust for your brand through transparency. Blogs can be used for all kinds of audiences, but we'd argue they're especially useful in B2B situations.
Infographics can be fun, interesting and downright helpful. Depending on your audience, you can play with a formula for a great compelling infographic that works for you. Similar to blogs, infographics are typically top level content because they don't yet introduce customers to your products. The goal is to provide content that is useful or shareable - or both! - to get your name and your image out there.
Similar to infographics, flowcharts are a one page graphic. Flowcharts up the engagement level by requiring the user to answer simple questions to arrive at a conclusion. Flowcharts can be funny, useful, or enlightening; in any capacity, they're certainly engaging.
We talked recently about how the hottest device in content marketing these days is video. With attention spans at an all-time low, videos capture and draw consumers in.
It's a lot easier to get a point across or drive a message home within the first few seconds of a video than it is in a blog post. Video is highly shareable as well, and can serve as a conversation starter. When needing to boost brand awareness and top level engagement, video is one of the best ways to do so, and that goes for both B2B and B2C audiences.
Memes work great in the B2C space because of their humor and shareability. A good meme has people talking for a long time, and can leave a lasting impression. Consider using memes in a self-deprecating or humorous way to promote specific products. If a potential customer has never seen or heard of you before, they could be compelled to find out if you have more great content, or what your company is all about.
Email Marketing is a fantastic way to get in front of any B2B or B2C audience who have already interacted with you. These middle of the funnel consumers have already signed up for promotional materials, or given you their email address for a download or more information.
Take advantage of this position. Evaluate what forms they've filled out previously, and target them with relevant content to get them to come back and close a deal.
Particularly in the B2B sector, potential customers in the middle of the funnel phase are looking for more information to help them make a buying decision. FAQ pages are a great way to quickly give a customer the information they are looking for. It's important to consider that if a potential customer has a real question, and can't find the answer through you, there will be a competitor close by to give them what they are looking for.
For B2B opportunities, eBooks are a great way to grab attention, provide useful content, and generate leads for you to follow up on. Make sure your eBooks are helpful, and offer relevant information that can benefit a business who is looking to become a client.
If you make your eBook's content gated, as in a user must provide contact information before downloading, you have a way of gaining information for your sales team to follow up on.
Customers or potential customers who are in the middle of their buyer's journey are most likely comparing and contrasting several options for purchase.
A great way to sway a potential B2B or B2C customer in your favor is through providing testimonials from other current customers. Word-of-mouth can often be the best form of marketing, and testimonials are a close cousin. Consumers want to shop, or do business with a brand they can trust, and who they know is a good investment. Testimonials, including product reviews, help potential customers know that they will get a great product or service.
Once a customer has moved past the consideration stage and is ready to make a purchase, a great way to close the deal is by providing offers.
These often come in the form of a free trial or consultation. Working best for B2B companies, free trials of a product or service give potential customers a sense of comfort in knowing they can try before they buy. An added bonus is if they like what they see, the chances of them making a purchase can be high.
Webinars are a great way to show the expertise that your business has.
Have a VP or director within your company conduct a free webinar to show the knowledge and expertise that your company possesses. Show that you are willing to share a bit of that with others. Potential B2B customers respond well to content that is most useful, and webinars can be extremely useful. Make the webinar gated, and follow up with those who attend.
Rewards and loyalty programs are great ways to ensure final purchases for both B2B and B2C companies. Often, customers like the idea of getting something in return when giving your company money.
Offering rewards for dollar spend or for combining services, makes potential customers feel like you aren't trying to take advantage of them, and you do care about those who invest in you. Create banners on your website, or pop up forms and landing pages that discuss your rewards and loyalty programs in detail. It can truly make the difference between a customer doing business with you or going elsewhere.
We'll talk about social media in a separate section, because social media works for all levels of the purchasing funnel, as well as for all audiences.
Forecasts for the 2016 content marketing landscape show both B2B and B2C companies heavily utilizing social media. Why? Because that's where people are. Marketing is becoming increasingly about H2H (human to human) rather than B2B or B2C, and social media is proving this.
Social media works great for top of the funnel brand awareness needs. Why? Because of the ability to utilize tactics to make you and your brand discoverable. Post original content using strategic hashtags, jump on trending hashtags to add your own voice or take on a popular topic, retweet or repost funny memes or videos. You can even make announcements or post about news.
Invite potential customers to like your pages, or follow you for new product information, or an inside look into your company. You can then leverage your social pages to offer discounts, announce promotions, or create events for potential customers to get to know you better without having to make a purchase just yet.
Use social media to retarget customers who may have already checked out your website. Use display advertising to show them products they abandoned in their shopping carts, or service pages they viewed.
You can use sponsored posts on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook to target customers who fit within your ideal buyer persona. B2B companies can leverage LinkedIn for groups, or post articles and news updates that target professionals who will be interested in your products or services.
It's important to remember that content marketing takes strategy and planning. Not only does content differ from B2B and B2C audiences, but it also makes a huge difference where the potential customer is in their buyer's journey.
By using optimal content that is tailored for those specific audiences and needs, you are better able to guide consumers along their journey to become your customers.

Belle's story time is very cute. Belle comes out appearing very much like you see her at the beginning of Beauty and the Beast. She reads her story to the guests while using audience participation to act out many of the scenes. She usually sticks around after the story for photos and autographs. I would recommend getting there 15+ minutes early to get a good seat.
The times will be listed on the Time Guide.

Options available to students when Requesting a Document for International Use.
Education verifications are official documents from the UC Davis Office of the University Registrar. Verifications are printed on letterhead and includes the Office of the University Registrar's legal seal and the University Registrar's signature. Education verifications provide information regarding enrollment status including the student's name, identification number, start and end dates of the selected quarter, full time or part-time enrollment status, and expected graduation date. The verification may contain other specific information such as GPA, enrollment history, or units for the term.
Education verifications are unique to the quarter for which they are requested. Education verifications are not transcripts and do not contain a complete list of courses, grades and GPA for each term. If require this information, see Official Academic Transcript.
Enrollment verifications are frequently used to verify enrollment status for eligibility for financial aid and/or services such as health insurance, car insurance, county agencies, subsidized child care, loan deferments and scholarships. A student must be enrolled in classes for a given term in order for Office of the University Registrar to provide an enrollment verification for that term. If fees have not yet been paid for the term, the following notation will appear: "This student is not considered a registered student for the term listed above. The student has enrolled in courses but has not paid fees for the term."
Scholarship verifications provide payment and remittance information for the scholarship donor.
Class registration verifications display the registered courses (subject, course, CRN, and course title) for the term.
Tuition and fee verifications display the combined amount of tuition, fees, and health insurance (SHIP) assessed for the term.
GPA verifications are often used for scholarships and good student discounts. The Office of the University Registrar provides verification, including UC GPA, once grades are official for the quarter, approximately two-four weeks after the end of the term.
If a student has been approved by their college for graduation and a degree has been posted to their record (approximately eight–twelve weeks after the end of the term in which you graduate), the student can order a degree verification. Degree verifications display the degree completed without GPA, course titles or grades.
Many campus offices are involved in facilitating the degree awarding process, taking several months after the last day of the term to process in full, and therefore the Office of the University Registrar is unable to expedite or rush degree verification letters before all students graduating that term are officially degree awarded. The Office of the University Registrar promptly processes letters after all campus offices have worked together to degree awarded students.
If the student has not been awarded a degree and needs proof of the completion of their degree work, see Completion of Undergraduate Degree Requirements Verification, below.
To order an education verification, complete the Education Verification Request Form and submit the form to the Office of the University Registrar. If a student orders a verification that does not require payment, they may submit the form in person, by mail, email, fax, or through Contact an Expert. If a student orders a verification that requires payment, they may submit the form either in person in or by mail. We do not accept payment information by fax, phone or email.
Verifications mailed directly to one of the following agencies do not require payment regardless of the student's Document Fee status: Housing and Urban Development, social security agencies, county agencies (re: income and expense), verification of family member enrollment for financial aid, subsidized or low-income housing, City of Davis or Parks and Recreation Day Care, loan deferment, Greater Avenues for Independence Network Social Services (GAIN) program, or scholarship letters to obtain money already awarded to you.
Completion of Undergraduate Degree Requirements Verifications provide information regarding the completion of degree requirements prior to the official posting of that degree to a student's academic record. This verification may be requested by undergraduate students only who have filed to graduate and whose final grades are available for the student's last term of enrollment. Graduate and professional school students should consult their college for more information regarding a similar service. Completion of Undergraduate Degree Requirements Verifications are frequently requested for purposes of employment, promotion, and military commission; as well as admission to other programs, institutions or universities.
Verifications cannot be approved/processed until the student's final grades are in and all their courses needed for graduation are completed. For example, if a student is graduating and taking required courses towards their degree during their last term of enrollment, graduation cannot be approved by the student's dean's office until final grades are reported; usually about two weeks after the last day of finals. If the student's course work is not completed, the Office of the University Registrar is unable to expedite or rush verification letters. The Office of the University Registrar promptly processes letters after all final grades are reported and the dean's offices approve each student's graduation.
Delivery method. Order and pick up in person or standard first-class mail sent within one-three business days after receipt of verification request.
Delivery method. Standard first-class mail; sent within one-three business days after receipt of verification request.
Delivery method. Standard first-class mail; sent within three-six weeks after the last term of enrollment.

Home / About / Frequently Asked Questions
Posted on July 29, 2021 January 11, 2022 by Andy Diabolus
This is our list of some of the questions we are asked most regularly, so you can get answers to them, without having to ask us directly.
Do you believe in / worship Satan?
No. We are atheists which means we don't believe in the existence of the supernatural. This means no god, no demons, no angels, no ghosts (holy or otherwise) and no devil. Worship is an expression of adoration to something which one reveres. In our case, we revere ourselves as individuals capable of the greatest human expression of compassion and empathy. We have hearts and minds that are imbued with warmth, rationale, and a quality of curiosity that can reason, resolve, and navigate profound existential experiences. That's essentially the heart of Satanism. This philosophy can be thought of as a type of selfism.
If you don't worship the devil then why do you call yourselves Satanic?
Buddhists don't worship Buddha, but they follow those teachings. The name Lucifer actually means lightbringer, and nothing is more illuminating than knowledge. In fables, Satan was the first to speak out and voice rational inquiry to an authoritarian god that demanded blind obedience, and for it he was cast out. Of course we don't believe this actually happened. But, historically, we know that those who speak out against the injustices committed by governments, religious dictators, and corporations that consistently prioritise profits over people are often imprisoned, killed, or branded incendiaries. So we believe the allegorical teaching of Satan is the need to use one's own voice as an honest tool of evidence-based dissent against corrupt regimes where one sees it. Use of the name also requires individuals to think about what it is that they actually believe. To its detriment, much of the world's cultural experience is informed by religious dogma and institutional influence and it can be hard to disentangle what one actually believes from what one has been told to believe. Associating with something typically seen as forbidden and characterised as evil when evidence shows that thing to be ethical and charitable for the benefit of all mankind, requires a level of rationality and critical thinking that we encourage in our membership. And if people and governments and leaders can do horrible things in the name of God then we can most certainly do beautiful and inspired things in the name of Satan.
So then you're activists, not Satanists?
We are Satanists, make no mistake. It is the lessons of the literary Satan that we follow –the importance of dissent, rational inquiry, vigilant self-assessment, and the continuing struggle for justice. Because we're committed to acting on our beliefs, this philosophy can take the form of activism. And like anyone else who calls themselves religious, it's our commitment to these deeply held convictions that our organisational identity represents. So, yes, we're Satanists – and activism is just our way of doing the devil's work.
Won't the name Satan make it harder to accomplish your goals? Wouldn't it be better if you called yourself something else?
People can be superstitious and reactive as individuals and in groups which is often a symptom of ignorance or entitlement and we'd like to change that way of thinking. Of course it's an uphill battle, but every movement towards social equilibrium requires those on the forefront. If the world would take steps to shift its collective approach to differences away from defensive and protective, making an intentional movement towards vigilant integrity in our approach to truth, understanding, and self-awareness, then we might realise we're far less vulnerable and capable of great adaptability which is empowering.
So you don't have rituals or kill babies?
What most people think they know about Satanism comes from Roman Polanski films like Rosemary's Baby and The Ninth Gate, The Omen trilogy, and Hammer Horror films like The Devil Rides Out. It's not surprising – those are great films – but that's fiction, folks. We do perform rituals, but so does everyone else in their daily life. Crossing the street is a ritual in which you look both ways beforehand. Checking your email can be a ritual if you have a routine for it – do you check it in when you first wake up…with coffee? Do you play music and dance around the kitchen while cooking supper? That's a ritual too. We ritualise life because it provides comfort and it can be a hallmark for important events of recognition, such as the ritual of marriage. Global Order of Satan performs rituals too, but it isn't black magic, it's just a celebration of life.
I've heard that becoming a Satanist will grant me money, fame and power. How do I join you and get all this?
We're sorry to disappoint you, but joining Global Order of Satan does not grant you money, or fame, or power. If you read through the rest of this FAQ and site, you'll find that we're an atheist group, who don't believe in a god, or a devil, and also laugh at the concept of doing some kind of deal with a supernatural entity for a secret way to make money, become famous or powerful. We stand for those oppressed by mainstream religions, and provide a community for those who agree with our philosophy – we're not a cult, there's no direct line to grant special favours from Satan, and we're very sorry you've been lied to.
Are you related to the US-based Church Of Satan or The Satanic Temple?
We have no current affiliation with either. We have similar beliefs but we also have different policies and principles. For example, membership with Global Order of Satan is always free. We also don't ask for money from our members or chapters and we put into practice our ideals about autonomy and the importance of rebellion. Because we have more of a global reach, as we currently preside over Europe, Australasia, and the Middle East, our concerns are global ones and not restricted to our locale.
So do you hate religion?
Religious practice can be a source of immense emotional gratification. We're a religion ourselves, so -no- we don't hate religion. What we hate is abuse and bullying. When Catholic Charities are taking social welfare money earmarked for HIV prevention but hide the condoms because they don't believe in them, that's a type of moral bullying with epidemic consequences. When families in one of the most dynamic capitols in the western world burn to death in substandard housing because of greed supported by casual classist attitudes, that's economic bullying and a form of genocide. And if you're a bully, especially one who uses religion as a get-out of-jail-free card in place of compassion and reason, then we'll probably be seeing each other soon.
Do I have to be a goth/like metal music to join?
Absolutely not – we believe in individuality & free expressions, and appreciate the value of diversity.
Does it cost anything to be a member?
Membership is free, and we will never pass around a collection plate.
I have another question, which isn't here

How Google Maintains Its Competitive Advantage
Google upholds the position as the dominant search engine in the world, with 65 percent of the total search market, according to Hitwise. To maintain Google's competitive advantage, the company has developed an infrastructure that guarantees a fast and efficient search engine, as well as branching out their efforts in other directions beyond search.
Let's first examine the speed of an average Google search. Any random search takes between 0.06 to 0.12 seconds (Gigaom). Google's competitive edge is traced to the fact that they've built their own infrastructure of servers, storage systems, bandwidth and hardware that supports the fastest search on the web.
While the cost for the company is high, as Google spends billions of dollars in development and upkeep, this competitive strategybuilds a formidable wall for other general search engines, such as Bing (formerly MSN Search) which is merging with Yahoo!. At the same time, the cost of building the advanced infrastructure is an investment for Google to ensure that the cost of conducting a query keeps going down.
Google's advantage over competitors is its rapid speed that keeps users coming back. The results of the search may vary, but because of the incredible speed, a user can search another key phrase with minimal sacrifice and therefore be less inclined to switch to a competitor.
Not only does Google provide a fast search, but the company also employs tools and services such as the Google toolbar, Google Maps, Google Earth and Google News. The toolbar presents a way for users to conduct a search without leaving their homepage. It also simplifies navigation by recounting the most searched-for web pages by each user. Services such as Google Maps and Google News provide another type of support on top of the general search engine.
Google has also expanded to mobile phones with the Android operating system, which delivers Google services and features as mobile applications. These strategies allow for Google to reach out to consumers and create a competitive advantage.
Google's competitive advantage is it provides an incredibly fast search and tools to support the general search engine. Competing search engines such as Bing or Yahoo! would have to develop their infrastructure to match the speed and comprehensiveness that Google possesses.
Do you feel your company possesses a competitive advantage? Smart Advantage is a training and education based company that offers business consulting, strategic planning, and marketing services to help your business create or identify its competitive strategy. Use the Smart Advantage free tools to find out what competitive advantages you possess, if they are being used to their full extent, and what's the cost of not utilizing competitive advantages.

EPA Proposes Strengthening Oil Spill Contingency Plan
The proposal addresses issues raised during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is proposing to amend requirements under the National Oil and Hazardous Substances Pollution Contingency Plan (NCP) to improve the nation's ability to plan for and respond to oil spills. This proposal addresses issues raised by the public, responders, government and industry officials during the 2010 Deepwater Horizon Oil Spill.
"Our emergency officials need the best available science and safety information to make informed spill response decisions when evaluating the use of specific products on oil discharges," said Mathy Stanislaus, assistant administrator for EPA's Office of Solid Waste and Emergency Response. "Our proposed amendments incorporate scientific advances and lessons learned from the application of spill-mitigating substances in response to oil discharges and will help ensure that the emergency planners and responders are well-equipped to protect human health and the environment."
The proposed Subpart J revisions include:
• New and revised product toxicity and efficacy test methodologies for dispersants, and other chemical and biological agents;
• New toxicity and efficacy criteria for listing agents on the Subpart J Product Schedule;
• Additional human health and safety information requirements from manufacturers;
• Revised area planning requirements for chemical and biological agent use authorization; and
• New dispersant monitoring requirements when used on certain oil discharges.
Dispersant manufactures will be able to use a new, well-tested and peer reviewed laboratory method for determining the effectiveness of their dispersant on two types of crude oils at two temperatures measured against proposed performance criteria. The agency is also proposing an aquatic toxicity threshold such that products that meet both the performance and toxicity criteria will offer greater performance at less environmental impact.
EPA is also proposing product chemical ingredient disclosure options and new evaluation criteria and a process for removing products from the Product Schedule.
The agency will accept public comments on the proposal for 90 days following publication in the Federal Register.

Q: RxJava Observable running in SpringBoot project I have code which is using Observable from RxJava which is watching changes in C drive,
File file = new File("C:\\");
        Observable
                .interval(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .concatMapIterable(x -> files(file))
                .distinct()
                .toBlocking()
                .subscribe(System.out::println);

Code prints for example new folder.
Now I want to make it run all the time when Spring-Boot application is running.
Now it works when I run it in @Test method.
I know I can do that by JavaSE or with Scheduling but I wanna make it that way.

A: toBlocking operator is used to block the observer until all items are emitted, but in your example you´re subscribing so potentially you´re already waiting for all the items to be emitted.
You can still using this way but since you´re using interval which execute the pipeline async, you might want to get the result in your main thread, so you can use observerOn operator
Scheduler scheduler;//Main thread

Observable
                .interval(1, TimeUnit.SECONDS)
                .concatMapIterable(x -> files(file))
                .distinct()
                .observerOn(scheduler)
                .subscribe(System.out::println);

You can see some async examples here https://github.com/politrons/reactive/blob/master/src/test/java/rx/observables/scheduler/ObservableAsynchronous.java

Canada's tax code is too complicated—even for CRA officials
Appeared in the Vancouver Province, December 11, 2017
Canada's personal income tax system is complicated and the nuances are often difficult to understand and interpret. This is why, when it becomes more than just a nuisance, Canadians rely on officials from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to answer questions and help them navigate the system. Turns out, the system is often too complicated for even CRA officials to understand.
Consider a recent report by Canada's auditor general that found almost 30 per cent of the answers provided by CRA officials to queries from the public were wrong. Some questions were more likely to get incorrect answers than others. For example, when asked when interest will begin to be charged on initial assessments, CRA officials gave the wrong date 84 per cent of the time.
The auditor general doesn't delve into why wrong answers are given, but part of the reason is the sheer complexity of the system.
By multiple measures, our personal income tax system has grown increasingly complex since it was established 100 years ago. In 1917, the Income Tax Act contained 3,999 words. By 2016, it ballooned to 1,029,042 words. That's a 256 times increase in the number of words!
Put differently, the number of pages—after standardizing the font, margins and page sizes—increased from a mere six pages in 1917 to 1,412 pages a century later. When you realize how big the Income Tax Act has grown over the years, it's perhaps no wonder CRA officials regularly get the details wrong.
A key source of complexity in the tax system is the long list of tax credits, deductions and other special preferences (collectively known as tax expenditures). These tax expenditures cover a wide range of activities such as donating to a political party, volunteering as a firefighter and buying a home for the first time. From 1996 to 2014, the federal government added 27 personal tax expenditures for a total of 128. That's a 27 per cent increase in just 18 years.
Claiming these tax credits typically requires tax-filers to store receipts or fill-out additional forms to demonstrate eligibility. This adds significantly to the time and frustration involved in submitting a tax return.
As tax complexity grows, so do tax compliance costs. There are direct costs to Canadian households such as hiring professionals to help fill-out tax forms (accountants, lawyers, etc.) or purchasing specialized software for the same purpose. And indirect costs from the financial value of the time required to understand the tax rules, compile relevant materials and complete the tax form.
Once all of these costs are added up, Canadians spend nearly $7 billion complying with the personal income tax system each year. That translates to about $501 per Canadian household.
CRA officials are supposed to make the process easier by providing clear and accurate answers to the public's questions. But clearly they too are often confused by the tax system.
It would certainly be a good thing for the CRA to improve the accuracy of its answers, but there's a broader problem that should be solved—the complexity of the system itself. After all, there will be less reason to call the CRA in the first place if the system is easier to navigate.
