It's from the Philippines, specifically, the resort island of Boracay.
Well, think again, bub. It'd be taxable, not merely fun.
You need a sandcastle license!
According to a new ordinance, beachgoers cannot create sandcastles without first forking over a fee to the local government for the privilege.
And they are not kidding around here. The police will knock over unlicensed sandcastles.
They say it disrupts the natural habitat.
In fact, it's aimed mainly at local artists who collect tips from tourists to make custom sandcastles.

Amber Gibson and Cassandra Willyard Investigate Abuse of Medical Residents during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Amber Gibson (left) and Cassandra Willyard
As COVID-19 has raged across the U.S., medical residents have found themselves battling more than a deadly virus. In some academic hospitals, the trainees have faced an overwhelming caseload of critically ill patients, working brutally long shifts with inadequate protective gear and little to no help from supervising physicians. In at least one hospital, staff wore trash bags after gowns ran out. In March, some of these stories made their way, via friends, to Amber Gibson, a food and travel writer who lives in Chicago. As friend after friend recounted harrowing working conditions, Gibson decided these stories had to be told.
But she had never tackled a complicated health story, must less an investigative piece. She posted a deliberately vague pitch to an online discussion group for writers and editors, where it grabbed the attention of Lauren Gravitz, a features editor at Medscape. After Gibson followed up with a detailed pitch, Gravitz commissioned the story, but asked if Gibson would be willing to work with a veteran health reporter. Gibson enthusiastically got onboard. Gravitz teamed her up with Cassandra Willyard, a freelance science journalist based in Madison, Wisconsin. Gibson and Willyard's story, "COVID-19 Crisis Exposes Resident Abuse," was published at Medscape on April 28, 2020.
While some hospitals are going out of their way to protect trainees, conditions at other hospitals tell a worrisome story. In addition to subjecting residents to working impossibly long hours in dangerous conditions, sometimes unsupervised, Gibson and Willyard found that most hospitals refused to offer hazard pay and even withheld paid sick leave for residents who fell ill to COVID. They searched Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, and Reddit looking for residents willing to speak. In the end, Gibson and Willyard interviewed almost 20 residents at academic hospitals. Most of the medical trainees they spoke with, already afraid for their lives, were also too afraid to complain on the record, fearing that doing so would jeopardize their careers. Reporting a story that depended so heavily on confidential sources was a challenge, and fact-checking it, says Willyard, "was a nightmare."
Here, Willyard and Gibson tell TON co-founder Jeanne Erdmann the story behind their story. (This interview has been edited for length and clarity.)
Amber, your professional focus is normally on food and travel writing. What made you concerned about taking on an investigative healthcare topic?
Amber: Healthcare is something that can be technical and challenging, and it's not something I thought I would be pitching. I have several friends who are currently residents, or who are fourth-year medical students, who kept telling me these stories. At a certain point, instead of just listening and sympathizing with them, I said, "Do you want me to write about this? I don't know what normal protocol is for residents, but it seems like this is really not OK." Interviewing my friends would be unethical. [But] with their help, I started digging on my own for sources.
A source sent me a document [a waiver of liability that medical students at Rush Medical College in Chicago were asked to sign before volunteering to help with COVID care if needed]. With at least one solid document in hand to depict what was going on, I posted on a social media group for writers and editors. I made the post deliberately vague, in case someone was to take the story and run with it.
I knew that I could pitch this. I was lucky that Lauren [Gravitz] saw my post and said, "Email me." I emailed some details and that's how everything started. I really didn't have any clips about healthcare, so Lauren suggested doing a joint byline, because this was a lengthy, more investigative piece. With the sense of urgency surrounding the crisis, we were going to have to do a lot of reporting, and cover a lot of ground quickly. Lauren said she had someone in mind who was great to work with. It was comforting to me to have a seasoned writer I could bounce ideas off of, or talk things through, and to help get better contacts.
How long did you spend reporting and writing this story?
Amber: Three weeks from when we started to when it was published.
How did you divvy up the work?
Cassandra: By the time I got hooked up with this, Amber had already done a bunch of interviews, so she had a leg up. At one point we had a conversation with Lauren, where we talked through the other things we needed to get assigned. And Amber and I had a phone conversation about different leads we were going to chase. As things were progressing, we would send emails back and forth to say, "I will take this," or "You take that."
How did you find sources for the story?
Amber: My boyfriend was helpful in that sense, because he already had a Reddit account. Anyone can read the Reddit for Residents posts. However, without an account you cannot message other accounts, or post, or get in touch with anyone. And since these are all anonymous posts, he used his account to help reach out to potential sources and ask them to contact me via email. I was able to find a couple of my really great sources [on Reddit], including those at Framingham Union Hospital.
Cassandra: I had this super-frustrating experience, in that I was going to look for residents to interview too, and I really just struck out over and over again. I'm used to contacting researchers from their lab website, and finding their emails just right there. That doesn't work if you're trying to get ahold of medical residents. I was emailing people, or messaging people via Instagram, which just felt super weird. I had what I thought was a genius idea to sign up for a premium LinkedIn account and try to message people, and I just got nothing. I tried tweeting at people who had mentioned stories like this on Twitter, and no one wanted to talk to me. It was really, really hard. So Amber was super invaluable because she had these wonderful connections to her friends who are residents who got her some ins to other people.
I also got a few people going through the Committee of Interns and Residents [a union that represents medical trainees]. There was actually a guy who was on the record, and who I named, who got me someone who wanted to remain anonymous. It was super tricky.
The lede [an anecdote about a resident identified in the story as "Janelle," who works at a Brooklyn hospital] came as an anonymous tip to Medscape. I don't even think I knew her name at the point when I got a phone number. And when I tried to call, it was a wrong number. And I thought, Oh, man, that was my one lead and now it's a wrong number. I emailed back and said [something like], "I tried but this just didn't work, and here's my number." So, of course, she called, and I was like, "Can you hold on, I have to get my child a granola bar? I just have to open it for her and then I can be with you."
You talked to nearly 20 residents and fourth-year medical students. Why so many, and how did you prioritize which stories to include?
Amber: It was important to talk to a lot of residents to get a picture of what was going on at different hospitals, and [so that we could] talk to multiple people at the same hospital. We wanted to illustrate the most egregious examples and use stories from residents who could paint a rich picture of the situation with pertinent details, which was important to confirm, and to reaffirm that this is a systemic problem.
The unrelenting pressure COVID-19 places on medical personnel must have made scheduling interviews especially challenging. How did you stay in contact with sources to set up times?
Amber: I would have to make myself available anytime they were available. I was pretty much on standby, waiting for people to call. I had one interview that was after midnight. Sources would say, "I should be getting off at 8:00 p.m.," but then of course they need to go home and shower, and make sure they are taking all of those precautions. I would say, "Just text me when you are ready to talk." I had to make scheduling these interviews my top priority for a week and a half or so.
How did you balance protecting your unnamed sources and getting the story?
Cassandra: This was really, really difficult because the journalist in me is super skeptical of anonymous sources, and here we have this story with this tension between working with a particularly vulnerable population, who are completely and rightly panicked about their job security, and being a journalist, and wanting as many people as possible to be named. It definitely gave me pause that we used so many anonymous sources, but I don't think we could have done it without doing it that way.
People were so freaked out. It was shocking, the amount of fear. And it's always hard to know how much handholding you have to do. People are scared, and people don't understand journalism, and they don't necessarily understand the implications of what they are doing. So there's always this tension, wanting them to say things, and wanting to be able to report those things; [but] you also know that they are vulnerable, and that it could get them in trouble. Even one of the guys who had already agreed to be included, with the understanding that we would not use his name or the name of his hospital. He told me a story that was pretty benign. A day later, he freaked out and messaged me, and said, "I talked to some other residents, and they said this was a bad idea, and I don't want the story used."
I understood why he was scared, but I decided to include him because I didn't see any possible way he would be identifiable.
Amber: I can imagine just how scared they were. They took us at our word that we will protect them. I remember one person gave me an email, and I noticed that it was from her place of work. I was like, "We don't know who might have access to your email." I wanted to be careful about that. I had one friend who put me in touch with someone, and then unfriended me on Facebook for a little bit, because someone working for the hospital was his friend, and could potentially link to my name and trace the source through us.
Did the extra caution help your sources open up and talk about their experiences and trust you?
Amber: I think so. I was able to establish a rapport with the folks I was speaking to, and I had so much sympathy and compassion for their situation. I wanted to do the best I could for the story, and I think that came through. Even people who were a little cautious in the beginning, by the end, I was able to reassure them that I wouldn't compromise their identities. I think they felt comfortable really speaking their heart.
Protecting the identity of an anonymous source can mean omitting some giveaway details that could also make the story more engaging. How did you make those decisions?
Cassandra: For the resident in the lede, the source and I were both very nervous about that. I told her we would do the interview, and I would figure out what I am going to write. I wanted to be very careful, so I said, "I will come back to you and we will run through everything, and we will talk about whether that makes you identifiable, and how we might change a detail or tweak it or take it out." Also, Lauren was really helpful in thinking about that, too.
I feel like there were details I would have included had I not been worried about protecting this one source in particular.
Amber: One of the residents I spoke with, he didn't say that I couldn't use the hospital's name, but then he texted me the following day and changed his mind because it's such a small program. Even if he was not personally identified, he was afraid of any ramifications it would have on his co-residents. I respected that because the name of that specific hospital was not needed to tell the story.
For one of my residents, there were some really colorful details, but [those] would have made identifying him especially vulnerable, so I could not include those details.
The story casts some hospitals in a very unfavorable light. What was your process for seeking out responses from the hospitals themselves?
Amber: We tried to reach out to hospitals for comment if the hospital was named, but in most cases our sources did not even want their hospital named, so there was no need to get a response from the hospital. But in these cases, I would try to speak to more than one resident from that hospital to see if their stories matched.
Cassandra: In every case (for me) I couldn't call the hospital because I wasn't naming the hospital. If I had called to get a response, I would have risked outing the source. It made me really nervous. Amber was able to contact the hospital in a couple of cases.
How did your sources react to telling stories about the trauma they were experiencing and witnessing?
Amber: A lot of folks would tell me something that had just happened that day, or the last few days. I don't want to put words in their mouths, but I think for some, it was a little bit therapeutic to talk about it, and for me to confirm that it was not OK. Also, I would be able to then say I'd heard this from other residents, and be able to confirm they were not alone. Folks who did talk to me wanted to be part of changing this situation, so they did realize how powerful their stories were. I was very grateful to them for being willing to talk to me.
You were reporting this story while public health conditions were shifting rapidly. How did you manage the flow of new information as you were reporting?
Amber: This was very tricky. There was a constant stream of new information, [with] new allegations each day, and we had to be constantly reading news, and see if there was something important enough that it would shift our narrative or need to be addressed within our story.
When I spoke to administrators at NYU, I was intending to highlight them as an institution that was doing a better job than others. I only spoke with them once, during our first week of reporting, when I intended to use them as a positive example. However, a week later, things took a turn for the worse there, and negative news started coming out about the deteriorating situation. I still wanted to include the administrators' original quotes to provide context, but did not have time to re-interview them. And I thought it was valuable to include their responses and their point of view, and let readers decide for themselves who they chose to believe based on these various perspectives that were presented.
Cassandra: Most of my sources came in right at the end, so it wasn't much of a time lag between interviewing them and us publishing. Also, we were trying to make the case that trainees were being taken advantage of, so it was less important to show that those things were happening in the moment than to show that they had happened. For example, the N95 situation did improve while we were reporting this, and that was great, but it was because of availability, rather than hospitals seeing the error of their ways. Just because residents were getting new N95s didn't mean that they hadn't been asked to reuse them again and again in the past.
Once you had to start putting the story together, how did you divide up the writing and editing process?
Cassandra: It seems like the kind of thing that could be really, really challenging, and in our case, it really wasn't. We worked in a Google document, and we both wrote the sections we had reported. Amber took the first stab at moving things around, but it was not the struggle that I anticipated that it might be. It seemed to work pretty well.
For editing, we had an initial conversation with Lauren to walk through the big picture and figure out what additional reporting the story needed. Like normal, there were a few rounds of edits. We each addressed the pieces that we reported.
With so many anonymous sources, how did you fact-check the stories people told?
Amber: Finding enough sources to corroborate patterns of behavior was key. In many instances, especially if a resident claimed to be left alone with responsibilities above their pay grade, there might not have been anyone else there who could confirm or deny their specific story. We always verified name, contact information, and affiliation to ensure that the people we are speaking with are who they say they are. In a couple of cases, I was able to speak to multiple residents at the same institution. At least that's showing there are [at least] two different people who are alleging the same things. I felt a little more comfortable about those allegations.
Cassandra: It was a fact-checking nightmare. We've got anonymous sources, which in some cases don't have documentation of the thing they are alleging. And you can't contact the hospital, because we are not naming the hospital, and if you did contact them, they would probably just deny it anyway.
For the lead source, I basically walked through everything with her because we were trying to figure out where she might be identifiable. The hardest part was not being able to fact-check some pieces of the story because I couldn't contact the hospitals in some cases. So I did my best just Googling different bits of information. This was not a story where I could 100 percent verify everything that the sources were telling me. But I could verify that those kinds of things were happening. I have so much respect for the people who do investigative stories as their bread-and-butter, because it's so challenging.
Is there anything that struck you about your experience in reporting this story?
Cassandra: I continue to be surprised by how well it worked out with us being co-reporters not knowing each other, and neither of us ever having done that before, and not really having a plan for how we would do it. It seemed like it naturally went well. I'm not sure if it's an experience that could be replicated or if it just happened that [with] this story, the process was easy. I was fearful that it could be brutal, but it worked out so nicely and seamlessly.
Amber: I agree. Neither of us had any ego involved. It was really about telling the story as best we can. We were happy to do whatever it took to publish. I was really happy with how the experience was.
What has happened in the aftermath of the story's publication?
Cassandra: I did get an email from a press person at [the Committee of Interns and Residents], and she was like, It brought me to tears. I was gratified to hear that, and it's always nice to feel like you are giving people who don't have a voice, a voice, but have things changed? I have no idea. Probably not.
Amber: I'm really proud of the work that we did and have been reading the 45-plus comments left on our story by physicians and residents. I hope this can be a catalyst for positive change so that medical residents are assured proper protection and humane treatment always.

Tipu Sultan, a Political Tool in Karnataka
The Yeddyurappa-led BJP government has announced the removal of Tipu Sultan's name from school textbooks, a move which is being seen as part of the BJP's pitch to shift people's focus from the failures of the government ahead of bypolls in December.
B S Yeddyurappa, the Chief Minister of Karnataka, on October 30, 2019, made a public announcement that Karnataka will be taking steps to remove Tipu Sultan from school textbooks. According to an Economic Times report, Yeddyurappa, in response to a question at a press meet said, "Yes. 100%. We are not going to allow anything about Tipu in textbooks."
Tipu Sultan, an 18th century ruler of Mysuru, has been at the centre of heated debates in Karnataka for the last five years. However, none of these debates (at least, the ones that are echoing in the media) are taking place among historians or sociologists or in museums but between political parties- the Congress and the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP). Following in the footsteps of the Narendra Modi-led BJP government's goal to erase the Mughal and Islamic history, Karnataka's BJP government has now decided to "remove" Tipu's name from the history textbooks.
Also read: Tipu Sultan: Hero or Villain? Resurgence of the Debate
Apart from the obvious communal motives behind this move and an effort of the RSS-BJP to distort history, there are strong reasons to look at it as a political game.
The former Congress government under the leadership of Siddaramaiah had instigated an uproar in the state by deciding to celebrate Tipu Jayanti every year. The Congress's reason then was that Tipu was a freedom fighter and he deserves to be commemorated. If it is about reading and knowing the history of Tipu or of any historical figure, the sharper question to ask is, why has this commemoration become the most important concern for these political parties? The answer is to divert attention from the issues plaguing the state and the voices being raised against the government. The then Congress government was doing the same and was accused of "minority appeasement."

However, what the current BJP government is set to do now is dangerous. It does not want the people to even read, learn or acknowledge a part of the history of the state. As a report in the Nanu Gauri journal rightly noted, this decision of the government will result in a permanent erasure of Tipu from the history of Karnataka. The danger lies in the larger project of the BJP in the country to rewrite history.
Home Minister Amit Shah had recently announced that the history of India must be rewritten and from an "Indian perspective." We have to note here that by "Indian perspective", Shah meant the perspective of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS) and Hindutva forces. In the same speech, he also gave a glimpse of what this history would look like, by falsely claiming that, V D Savarkar was the one who recognised the 1857 revolt as the First War of Independence, which has been disputed by several historians.

This would be their version of history – full of fantasies and imaginations and far from the scientific truth, without any evidence or worse, fake and planted evidence. Having said this, what is the BJP trying to do by initiating the removal of Tipu from school textbooks?
The answer to this question is simple: first, it is part of consolidating the Hindu vote bank by creating a false narrative that Tipu was an Islamic despot. Second, it is a much needed attempt to divert all the attention from the government's failure to meet the needs of the flood affected regions in the state.
There is no other reason as to why the BJP would go behind Tipu Sultan, a ruler who died in the 18th century. The picture below throws light on the fact that Tipu Sultan is made into a political tool.
This is the image of Yeddyurappa in the head gear and with a sword, imitating Tipu Sultan. As The News Minute notes, it is not possible to say as to when was this photo taken. But as per sources, the picture was taken probably when Yeddyurappa, after splitting from the BJP had started his own political party called the Karnataka Janata Paksha (KJP). The News Minute also noted that the picture was clicked after he paid his respects to Tipu's Samadhi in Srirangapatna.

One might argue that the picture was clicked when he was not with the BJP. However, that is not important. He is now in BJP and is the CM of the state, who is just seen saying yes to everything that the Modi-Shah-Bhagwat trio believes to be right.
The official Twitter handle of the BJP in Karnataka had tweeted, "By ending public celebrations of Tipu Jayanti, our CM has restored dignity to Kannadigas. As the next step, textbooks must be rewritten to portray the real Tipu Sultan to our children. They should be made aware of the Tyrant's cruelty against Hindus & his anti Kannada rule." As the bypolls are to be held on December 5 in the state, this seems like an age-old pitch of the BJP to attract the voters: create a false and communally informed victim narrative of the Hindus. Tipu, even though is noted to be a hero by most of the state, is not considered so by the people living in Mangalore, Kodagu and places in the Kerala-Karnataka border. There exists sufficient historical evidence to prove that he and his father Hyder Ali had invaded these places and converted people to Islam.
As a report in the Indian Express notes, "In modern times, the BJP has sought to harness this strand of Tipu's personality to fulfil its political objectives. For the BJP and the Sangh Parivar, the allegedly anti-Hindu personality of Tipu presents an opportunity to push political conversation towards religious identities, and to force a polarisation." In fact, the BJP's campaign for the Assembly elections in 2018 had majorly focused on Tipu Sultan and had used Siddaramaiah's decision to celebrate Tipu Jayanti against the Congress to consolidate Hindu votes.

Тектоносфера — верхняя оболочка Земли, основная область проявления тектонических движений и деформаций (магматизм, метаморфизм, сейсмичность).

Охватывает земную кору и верхнюю мантию (на глубине около 410 км.), или литосфера и астеносфера.

Изучается в геотектонике.

Описание
Для тектоносферы характерна вертикальная и горизонтальная неоднородность физических свойств и состава слагающих её пород.

Этимология
Сам термин «тектоносфера» в геологической литературе используется всего несколько десятилетий, однако, вкладываемый в него смысл в разных издания разный. В словаре английских геологических терминов (1972 года и был переведён на русский язык в 1979 году), сказано, что тектоносфера соответствует земной коре и состоит из сиалического, салсиматического и симатического слоев.

В отечественном геологическом словаре (1978 года), даётся более широкое определение термина: это верхняя оболочка Земли, охватывающая земную кору и верхнюю мантию.

В словаре тектонической терминологии (1999 года) даётся два определения термина — тектоносфера:
 Геосфера, состоящая из литосферы и астеносферы, являющаяся главной областью проявления тектонических процессов;
 Геосфера, которая может рассматриваться как единая плита, сминающаяся дисгармонично по отношению к астеносфере.

Justin has used Twitter to engage with fans in fun and creative ways since he joined in 2009.
Justin Bieber is one of the most popular users of the Twitter DM service. These were some of the innovative ways he used the DM service to reach out and interact with his fans.

Lions let it slip
British and Irish Lions' George North is tackled by Hurricanes' Mark Abbott
Hurricanes 31 British & Irish Lions 31
Rory Best refused to criticise referee Romain Poite after the British and Irish Lions were held to a 31-31 draw by the Hurricanes in Wellington.
Poite sent lock Iain Henderson to the sin-bin for a tip-tackle on Jordie Barrett in the final quarter and the home team ran in two tries in his absence.
"It was obviously touch and go but when you're being officiated by a quality referee like Romain Poite and he takes his time and goes to the TMO, you've got to trust that the guy has got it right," Lions captain Best said.
"The frustrating thing is that we had a penalty advantage there.
"Hendy was absolutely fabulous and that small error...you could tell that he was disappointed, but we've got to be bigger than a yellow card costing us that many points.
"It's very frustrating. They're Super Rugby champions and are a very good side.
"We'll look back at the mistakes we made that let them back into it and be frustrated.
"This is potentially the last game of the tour for a few of us, so we have to look at the positives as well. I cannot fault the effort. Maybe we needed to show more composure and be more clinical at times."
Coach Warren Gatland pointed to Henderson's yellow card to explain the Lions' inability to win the match when leading 31-17 with 14 minutes left.
"The penalties we gave away were a bit soft and they allowed them back into it," Gatland said.
"We felt like we played some good rugby, but that yellow card was a penalty to us and it ends up being a penalty reversed. We had Henderson off the field for 10 minutes and conceded 14 points. To me that's the game in a nut shell."
Gatland revealed he was reluctant to use a bench populated with controversial call-ups because the tour's late arrivals had been summoned mainly to help prepare the Lions for the Test series.
"We felt that the players who came in came in for cover. That's what we've done. So we brought George Kruis on for Courtney Lawes and tried to protect those players." Gatland said.

"All along we said it was about those players coming for cover and making sure we gave the 23 as much of a chance to prepare for the Tests as possible."

Now you will get the root credentials (without even been asked for a password).
Note: According to IBM its not recommended to work as root on VIO servers.
So you can use all ioscli commands as user root by appending /usr/ios/cli/ioscli in front of the command you type.
I'm using this quite often... a dirty side effect is that ioscli puts an ioscli.log in the current word directory. Depending on how much you do and where you do it, you spread ioscli.log files over the filesystem making it hard to maintain a single logfile for all actions.

Did you know that ol' Uncle Sam collected more than 3.4 trillion in revenue from taxes during the 2017 Fiscal Year? Since black folks account for 6% of the nation's income, a significant portion of that revenue comes directly from our pockets.
Reversely, the IRS issued more than $347 billion in tax refunds which can go directly INTO your pockets. Whether you owe or will receive a refund, tax filing season is quickly approaching its end. If you find yourself to be one of the millions of procrastinators who wait until the last minute to secure needed documents and begin this grueling task… don't worry we have you covered!
AspireTV spoke with Jasmine Cooper, an accounting and auditing professional with 10+ years experience in financial services and Matice Morris, a Retirement Plan Specialist, on tips geared directly towards Blacks on how to navigate the filing process and what to do to alleviate your tax burden.
1. Your "Side-Hustle" Is A Business!
Do you do hair on the side? Or maybe tutor students for extra cash? Uber or Lyft driver? A "side-hustle" can be any hobby or work that you occasionally do that takes up a relatively small amount of your time. Take advantage of the gig economy we are in and use allowable deductions to trim your tax bill. Make sure you maintain excellent records of business expenses.
An IRA, otherwise known as an Individual Retirement Account, allows you to save money for retirement with tax benefits. Traditional IRA contributions are tax deductible. You can make a contribution to your IRA up until the 2019 tax-filing deadline- April 15, 2019.
Remember to take advantage of all available tax credits and deductions. A tax deduction is the amount you are allowed to subtract from your adjusted gross income, which makes your taxable income lower.
The lower your taxable income, the lower your tax bill. Understand the difference between refundable credits and non-refundable credits. Refundable credits increase the refund, whereas non-refundable credits just apply directly to amount of taxes owed, but you do not get anything additional refunded to you.
Child Tax Credit: The Child and Dependent Care Credit is limited to a range of 20% to 35% of $3,000 for one qualifying child or dependent under age 13 or $6,000 for two or more qualifying persons, depending on the taxpayer's adjusted gross income.
Student Loan Interest: You can deduct up to $2,500 from your taxable income if you paid interest on your student loans.
For more information, take a look at the examples listed by the IRS.
4. File For An EXTENSION.
If you're finding yourself overwhelmed as the tax-filing deadline approaches, know that there are options. Filing for an extension is relatively easy, free, and you can do it by filing IRS form 4868 the only requirement is it must be filed no later than midnight on April 15, 2019.
We do everything online from making mortgage payments to ordering groceries, so why not transfer that simplicity to the not so simple process of filing your taxes? The number of people that opt for electronic filing (e-filing) increases every year, chiefly because it helps to facilitate the process and quicker returns for tax refunds.
Admittedly, math is not a strong point for many and filing online helps taxpayers avoid mistakes by doing the math. It guides filers through each section of their tax return. The software uses a question-and-answer format that makes doing taxes easier. Also, filing electronically eliminates being caught up in the storm of procrastinators who will be at the post office.
Tax law and regulations are complex and subject to change – this article is not an extensive listing and may not be applicable to every individual. For complete instructions consult a tax advisor. Please note the tax filing deadline is April 15, 2019 (Or April 17, 2019, if you live in Maine or Massachusetts).

"SNL's contribution to the arts and to pop culture has been — and continues to be — groundbreaking, and Live From New York! offers an inside look at the show's inimitable ability to both reflect and impact American news, history and culture," said Tribeca Film Festival co-founder Jane Rosenthal in a statement. "This is the story of a creative journey from pilot to institution and a tribute to the moments that kept us laughing and talking long after the episodes aired."
"Having hosted SNL three times, and guested on several occasions, I speak from a first-hand experience about SNL's rightful place in our culture as well as a welcome addition to our Festival," echoed Robert De Niro, co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival, with Michaels adding, "After 40 years, the timing just felt right."
The 2015 Tribeca Film Festival, presented by AT&T, runs April 15 to 26, with its feature-film slate to be announced at a later date. Tickets for the opening night gala go on sale on March 23.

Employees with Developmental Disabilities: An Underutilized Population of Valuable Workers – Included. Supported. Empowered.
ROME, Georgia – Andrew Cook is one of the most polite and hardworking young men I have ever met. This is saying a great deal, as I have worked with very charming and charismatic college students just brimming with enthusiasm for the past 18 years. Andrew is a confident young man with excellent people skills. He audited my Introduction to Psychology course several years ago. On the first day of class one lovely fall semester, Andrew proudly stood in front of my classroom door, introducing himself while offering his hand to every nervous new freshman college student that entered the classroom. Andrew sat at attention in my class, rarely missing a day of class, and insisted on participating in every aspect of the course, including taking exams for which he would receive no academic credit. My freshmen students reported to me that Andrew inspired them to try their best and overcome social anxiety, to put themselves out there and talk in class. Andrew has an intellectual disability and has overcome severe physical challenges. In fact, early in his life it was predicted by many medical professionals that he would never walk or speak. Today he is downright chatty, in a respectful and earnest way. He is finishing his second year working at State Mutual Stadium and is close to achieving his lifetime goal of getting a driver's license.
Tom Dahn is another friend I have come to admire through the nonprofit Developing Independence, Growth, and Support, an organization that provides many different social and personal development opportunities and raises money for high quality group homes for adults with intellectual disabilities. Tom has worked at Kroger for 11 years. He has been recognized for the impressive number of shoplifters he has caught over the years. Tom also enjoys playing on the Kroger baseball team. Tom has limited verbal skills, but makes himself understood through his hard work, determination to do a good job, strong work ethic and excellent team member skills.
Let me be clear, Andrew and Tom are excellent employees. They are motivated to work, they value and enjoy their jobs and they rarely miss work.

Three years ago, Patagonia founder Yvon Chouinard and biologist Matt Stoecker set out to make a film about dam removal and restoring some of the country's greatest waterways to their natural state.
Travis Rummel and Ben Knight of Felt Soul Media quickly emerged as the men for the job after showcasing their unique storytelling ability in films such as Red Gold and Eastern Rises. Yesterday, after a long wait, the duo announced that the film will premiere in March at SXSW.
In addition to their loyal fans and those in favor of dam removal across the country, Felt Soul Media might be more fired up than anyone. "Goddam we're excited to unleash the beast!" and "Welp, that only took three years. Yeow!" were both posted to the FSM Facebook page yesterday.
A lot of time and energy has gone into this project, beginning with a Commitment Grant from Telluride's Mountainfilm in 2011. If Felt Soul Media's prior work is any indication, DamNation is sure to be a heavy hitter.
SXSW Film Festival runs from March 7 through 15.

Cook your rice like this, and slash its calories in half
41 shares Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Pin it Share on WhatsApp Share on Google+
Rice is a food staple in many countries around the world. It's traditionally eaten at every meal in Asian countries and in India. It's also big in the West Indies and South America, where many recipes mix it up with red and black beans.
Rice is a cheap and versatile food that goes well with a myriad of things but can also stand on its own.
Rice contains varied quantities of starch according to the different types. Arborio rice or Spanish round-grain rice, for example, both contain a lot of starch, while Basmati rice contains less.
1 cup of cooked rice contains 250 calories that come in the form of starch known as slow-burning carbs.
Certain studies have shown that a particular cooking method can actually cut its calorie count in half. How crazy is that?
The method was discovered by a student and his mentor from the College of Chemical Sciences in Sri Lanka.
Their experience
"We started by boiling some water, and just before pouring the rice in, we added some coconut oil (used daily in Sri Lankan cuisine). Once the rice was cooked, we cooled it in the refrigerator for 12 hours. And that's it."
Food chemistry is an important factor to understanding this phenomenon...
All starches are not created equal. Some are quickly converted into sugar in our bodies, which is the case for carbohydrates with a high-glycemic index. On the other hand, low-glycemic foods release sugar into the body at a much slower rate. They contain fewer calories than high-GI foods and help to prevent bouts of fatigue.
Rinsing rice before cooking removes some of its starch and lowers its glycemic index. Conversely, overcooking rice raises its glycemic index (same goes for pasta).
Over the years, studies have found that it's possible to modify the glycemic index of foods by changing up their preparation methods.
Potatoes, for example, have a low-glycemic index when steamed and a high-glycemic index when mashed.
Cooking and cooling certain vegetables, such as sweet potatoes or peas also plays a role in determining their glycemic index.
Likewise, rice is subject to the same chemical changes depending on the way it's prepared.
For instance, it might seem odd, but when rice is sautéed or made into a pilaf, it has a lower glycemic index than steamed rice. This is because of the added fats and/or proteins.
Dr. Pushparajah Thavarajah, the supervising professor of the Sri Lankan study found that modifying the glycemic index of steamed rice can have a substantial impact on its calorie count.
With this analysis, they tested eight different recipes with 38 rice varieties found in Sri Lanka.
They found that adding some coconut oil before cooking the rice and cooling it immediately after changes its composition, including its glycemix index.
What happens is the oil interacts with the starch in the rice and changes its structure. The cooling process also helps with this transformation.
As a result, the rice ends up with a lower-glycemic index and fewer calories. They were able to lower the calorie count of certain rice varieties by 12%, but they expect it can go down as much as 50% for others.
For those who are carb-conscious or watching calories, it seems you can have your rice and eat it, too. We can't wait to read the follow-up findings to this study!
