"Many graduate programs expose students to different research approaches and provide opportunities to collaborate with researchers across disciplinary boundaries. CogSci at Johns Hopkins taught me how to be interdisciplinary, how to be a cognitive scientist. Even though I am in a Psychology Department, it is now second nature to do research that engages linguists, neuroscientists and engineers. Because of my Hopkins education, I have developed an interdisciplinary research program that connects me to other faculty members throughout my university."
Current position updated November 2016.
John Hale, PhD 2003
"I came out of the Hopkins program with clear sense of what cognitive science is. The program taught me how to integrate elements from artificial intelligence, generative linguistics and neuropsychology into a research program that is driven by questions about the mind. This has become my life's work, and I'm very grateful for the training I received there!"
Current position updated September 2018.
Matt Goldrick, PhD 2002
"My training in Cognitive Science at JHU provided me with a truly integrated training in formal and experimental methods. This has allowed me to move easily between distinct disciplinary cultures, so that I am recognized as a linguist *and* a psychologist. Being a living bridge between these fields has opened up new collaborations and areas of research that have allowed me to continually grow as a scholar."
Michael Wolmetz, PhD 2011
"I was very lucky to study with the JHU Cognitive Science department. As a graduate student, I found what I was looking for: a deeper understanding of the mind and brain, and preparation for a career in science. One thing that made this possible was, not just an interdisciplinary approach, but a real coalition of computation, cognition, neuroscience, and linguistics. The other thing that made it not only possible but enjoyable was the collaborative spirit between thoughtful faculty and passionate students."
Current position updated July 2018.
Teresa Schubert, PhD 2015
"The graduate training I received in the CogSci department at Hopkins gave me a strong theoretical basis for my research and an interdisciplinary perspective that I treasure. Through coursework, seminars, and research projects I acquired not only excellence in my subfield (cognitive (neuro)psychology), but also learned "the language" of linguistics, philosophy, and computational modeling. This breadth allows me to understand and connect with researchers across fields to answer broad questions about cognition."

The most revered of French novelists recognized the need for P.R. "For artists, the great problem to solve is how to get oneself noticed," Balzac observed in "Lost Illusions," his classic novel about literary life in early 19th-century Paris. As another master, Stendhal, remarked in his autobiography "Memoirs of an Egotist," "Great success is not possible without a certain degree of shamelessness, and even of out-and-out charlatanism." Those words should be on the Authors Guild coat of arms.


Today I'm sharing with you the most delicious, simple, and EASY recipe… Crockpot Salsa Chicken!
This recipe is so simple it's elementary. For real. If you screw this up, we need to have a little talk.
Here are the 3 words you'll need for this recipe: Crockpot, salsa, chicken.
Literally… pour your favorite prepared salsa over boneless, skinless chicken breasts and turn on your slow cooker.
Shred the chicken with a fork when it's done and stir in your slow cooker to combine the salsa and chicken. Serve with chips or on tortillas with your favorites, like cheese, diced tomatoes, cilantro, sour cream… YOU NAME IT! How can you go wrong with basically a 1 minute prep time?!
Crockpot Salsa Chicken – Just 2 ingredients in your slow cooker for the BEST Mexican shredded chicken!
Place chicken breasts in slow cooker and cover with salsa. Cover and cook on high for 4 hours, or on low for 6-8 hours. Shred with a fork and stir gently to combine.
Such a great method for an incredibly easy meal. I could eat chicken tacos every single week!
Thanks, Valerie! It was delicious!
Amy, if I am making double the recipe, does it effect the cook time or I can still do 4 hrs on high?
This is one of my favorite recipes. It's so versatile. I make it for meal trains a lot. I do have a question could I make this in the instant pot? Would I need to add water or broth? Thanks!!
Made this for tonight's dinner. Adding rice and corn. Delicious!
Does the chicken need to be thawed or can it be frozen!?
Made this last night and it was very good and so EZ. The chicken was falling apart tender so it shredded easily. Used large flour tortillas and put on some shredded chicken, dipped some of the solids out of the crockpot with a slotted spoon, added a bit of corn and some shredded cheese. Topped with a bit of sour cream and it was delicious! Thank you for such a clever idea for a super tasty meal.


Let me tell you a story. Some of you who know me know how strange I am, well wait, I'm even stranger than you know.
I've asked a few of my friends if they've ever seen things, heard, things, smelled things, or experienced some of the things that I have. The answer is always, no.
What are these things? Supernatural things. I guess you can say, I experience things that are a little unusual to most.
This post is about the supernatural smell of fruit. I call it heavenly fruit. I'll cover some of my other unusual experiences at a later date.
For now, just imagine a room full of sliced oranges. Big beautiful ripe and juicy oranges. Now sweeten the smell as you imagine some being juiced. Now multiply that scent by like 1000%. The scent is pleasantly strong, so much so, that you can almost taste it.
And that's it, heavenly oranges, or lemons, or watermelons, etc. This is my experience and personal connection to God, and the Savior, but mostly it's my connection to the Holy Spirit.
These experiences happen the most when I immerse myself in prayer, praise and worship. This makes me strange (set apart), and I'm good with that, but it doesn't mean that I'm unique or special.
Anyone wishing to know and have a relationship with God can experience His wonderful gifts.
Do you know God? Knowing Him is better than any experience I've ever had. There are no words to describe it.
He wants to meet you where you are and give you the most wonderful gift of all, eternal life.
Ask him into your life. Ask him to fill you with the Holy Spirit. Accept Yeshua into your heart and ask him to forgive your sins.
Read the Bible and do your best to follow the commandments. We're not perfect but we're made perfect through him.
When you call on God, your life will never be the same again, in the most wonderful way. I can't promise you heavenly smells on earth, but God has much more than this in store for those he loves. And he loves you. Hallelujah!

Massive: Victims Of Illegal Immigrants Drop Bombshell On Liberal Democrats…They've Had It!
By MoveToDraft
Trump is going after illegal immigrants. That's good. But maybe it's not enough. After all, illegals only run rampant because liberal Congressmen don't care about the law. Perhaps, in fact, we should be going after them.
Luckily, someone beat us to the punch.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Colorado state representative Dave Williams, who is moving forward with a bold new strategy to combat illegal immigration. See, Trump is going after illegals. That's good. But Williams is going after the Democrats that hide them.
And that's just…better. And brilliant.
The Daily Caller reports: Williams "announced a bill Monday that would allow victims of certain crimes committed by illegal immigrants to sue state and local politicians who defy federal immigration authorities seeking to enforce the law, multiple news outlets are reporting.
Williams, who is Hispanic, said he wants to strip the 'immunity' from Democratic politicians who 'place Coloradans in danger because of the sanctuary city policies that they created and continue to implement.'"
No conservative worth his salt can forget any of the names of the American victims who perished at the hands of illegal aliens – illegals that, remember, liberal Democrats protected, even after their crimes had been committed. Kathryn Steinle, Tessa Tranchant, Sarah Root, Shayley Estes…the list goes on, and will go on, if something isn't done soon.
President Trump has already shown he has the courage to enforce the law. But he's pretty much powerless when it comes to passing bills at this local level, which is why Representative Williams is such a blessing.
After all, while true change comes from the top down, without a small army of local helpers, nothing much happens. America needs both a Trump and a Williams if it's going to restore law and order.
Williams' bold stance will put him at odds with other Colorado politicians, including the mayor of Denver, Michael Hancock. Hancock, in a stunning display of liberal arrogance and idiocy, defied Trump and told the world he was proud to be the mayor of a sanctuary city.
Those cities won't last long, though – one by one, they're finally giving in to Trump. And Hancock will have a much harder time when he's facing off against both Trump and Williams.
If Williams' bill passes, Democratic lawmakers will have no shortage of lawsuits on their hands. And given that 'sue them, sue them!' is pretty much the strategy of the anti-American ACLU, I'd say they deserve it.
Welcome to the team, Williams, and more power to you.

Hero of the week : Roy Oliver, former Balch Springs, Texas officer, convicted of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards' murder
August 29, 2018 August 29, 2018 ~ deborahleejarrett
And here comes the comeuppance for the Jack booted thugs. Not in the streets , but in the court room; Convicted by those that they oppress. A road bandit with a rage to kill and a power trip will no longer walk away. The old saying , Lay down with dogs and wake up with fleas applies here. Everyone is catching on to who these people behind these badges are. Viral videos circulate among young and old alike , exposing rampant abuse and violence. We live in an age with no respect for the likes of those who patrol our streets and abuse our citizens. We live in an age when a bystander films as a cop is overcome by an enraged citizen and no help is offered. There are so many cases of shootings, beatings, lying and corruption to be seen that the moral high ground has been given over and no one just assumes the cop is in the right. Few are willing to give default hero status anymore based on the color of a uniform. They have brought this on themselves and in the coming times are going to be paying for it. Go ahead, enjoy your time as a tough guy on the street. Garner all the power you can, order, abuse and control ; Until it catches up to you and you get your day in court
"DALLAS, Texas —
Jurors are deciding the fate of a former Texas police officer who was convicted of murder for fatally shooting a black, unarmed teenager last year in suburban Dallas.
Wednesday marks the second day of the sentencing phase in the trial of Roy Oliver, who was convicted Tuesday for the 2017 slaying of 15-year-old Jordan Edwards. Edwards was killed when Oliver, a police officer in Balch Springs at the time, fired into a car full of black teenagers as it drove away from a house party.
In a rare guilty verdict in a police shooting case, the Dallas County jurors were not swayed by Oliver's claim that he feared for his partner's life when he fired into the vehicle."
"But prosecutors described Oliver as out of control and looking for a reason to kill. They argued that his firing into the car wasn't reasonable.
The shooting came after Oliver and his partner, Tyler Gross, had broken up the party. Both officers were inside the residence when they heard gunfire outside and responded. Authorities later determined the shots were fired near a nursing home in the area.
Oliver retrieved his rifle and went toward Gross, who was ordering the car carrying Edwards to stop. Oliver testified that he saw the car back up and stop for a second before moving forward and going toward Gross.
Oliver told the jury the car was about to hit his partner. Oliver said he felt he had no other option but to fire. Gross, however, testified that he did not fear for his life and never felt the need to fire his weapon. He also said he didn't feel like the vehicle was trying to hit him.
Prosecutors said Oliver fired after the vehicle passed Gross. Investigators also said no guns were found in the teens' vehicle."

Refugees Australia
Australian firm Canstruct takes up toxic contract profiting from the abuse of refugees on Nauru

The civil engineering company Canstruct International Pty Ltd ('Canstruct') has taken on a toxic contract to run facilities on Nauru where the Australian government has trapped refugees in a system that amounts to torture, Amnesty International said today.
Canstruct, an Australian family-run company, has signed a contract to run refugee processing centres on the island, where hundreds of people have been forcibly transferred after trying to seek asylum in Australia. Australian officials have admitted this system is intentionally harsh.
"What is so deeply shocking is that Canstruct has taken on this contract despite a mountain of evidence which shows that Australia's whole offshore processing system is inherently abusive."
Audrey Gaughran, Amnesty International's Director of Global Issues.
"What is so deeply shocking is that Canstruct has taken on this contract despite a mountain of evidence which shows that Australia's whole offshore processing system is inherently abusive," said Audrey Gaughran, Amnesty International's Director of Global Issues.
"The company will provide the very services that sustain a system that keeps women, men and children trapped in a cycle of cruelty and desperation."
Amnesty International has documented how Australia's offshore refugee processing system is so deliberately and inherently cruel and abusive it amounts to torture, findings that have also been backed up by UN experts.
The refugees are trapped in a legal and emotional limbo on an island where they also face a risk of violence. Refugees and asylum seekers on Nauru have faced physical attacks and sexual assault by some members of staff at the refugee processing centres, as well as violence from the wider community, without anyone being held properly accountable.
Doctors and other experts have exposed the excruciating level of mental and emotional pain experienced by refugees, many of whom have suffered serious mental illness. The fear and isolation they experience is exacerbated by failures in health care which have left people with chronic illnesses unable to receive proper treatment.
Canstruct is taking up the contract from another Australian company, Broadspectrum, owned by the Spanish multinational Ferrovial.
Ferrovial, which was criticised for its role by human rights groups including Amnesty International, decided to end the contract on 31 October this year after buying Broadspectrum in April 2016. Broadspectrum has run the processing centres on Nauru since September 2012.
"Broadspectrum and Ferrovial have made millions from the suffering of people fleeing persecution. Canstruct needs to ask itself if it really wants to be the next company to become complicit in the Australian government's illegal policies, and if it's willing to expose itself to legal liability for being complicit in this system – as Broadspectrum and Ferrovial already have," said Audrey Gaughran.
Canstruct is a family run, Brisbane based civil engineering company with no past history of providing the kind of refugee support services it has now agreed to provide on Nauru. The company has provided construction services on Nauru in the past and built the refugee processing centres on Nauru, under three contracts with a combined final value of AUS$650 million (USD510 million). Canstruct also holds numerous other contracts with the Australian government.
Australia's processing systems on Nauru and Manus Island are so fundamentally at odds with basic human dignity that Amnesty International believes it would be impossible for any company to operate the processing centres without causing or contributing to serious human rights abuses. Any company that provides these services is acting in direct contravention of its human rights responsibilities under international standards on business and human rights, and exposing itself to potential criminal liability and damages claims.


The goal should always be to get the most value out of your miles and points, in things that matter to you.
Alison is a reader and has a question on whether or not she should use her Avion points for this upcoming trip or not.
Do I use avion points or not?
My parents need a one way flight YYZ to PVR on Jan 2.
Ryan needs to fly down sometime the week of Jan 13.
Kids, Ryan and I fly home together Jan 23 (must be direct).
I have 184,000 points to use.
Thanks for the question, Alison. I would love to help out.
I have written an article on the RBC Avion Rewards program that is similar here. In this article I am going to talk more about how to do the analysis of when to redeem RBC Avion points as opposed to isolated for Alison's specific situation.
The answer to your question is always, it depends.
If you are looking for a quick answer, my answer would be to pay cash for this flight and save your RBC Avion points for a better value. This is how I would act, but there is justification for using RBC points for this flight as well.
If you don't have a better use of your RBC Avion points for better value, or you are points-rich and cash-poor then use your RBC Avion points for the flight using the flight schedule.
Avion points are valuable for their transferability to airline miles programs such as American and British Airways. My thoughts are that pretty much any other uses are not really worth chasing. (ie I wouldnt earn more Avion points if I were intending on using them for anything other than AA or BA transfers).
I'll give you a quick reasoning.
An MBNA World Elite card, or BMO World Elite card would net you 2% cash back (or pretty much close to cashback) on every purchase. RBC Avion nets you 1 Avion point / $ spent on every purchase. That means that when you made the purchase, you sacrificed 2 cents (what you could have got had you swiped a MBNA World Elite) for that 1 Avion point. When you go to redeem that Avion point, you have to make sure you are able to get better than that 2 cents value back.
In my opinion, the only uses of RBC Avion points that can net you better than 2 cents / Avion mile will be by transfering to AA or BA miles and redeeming for flights. This would be the thinking I would do when I sign up for a card.
Check out the Top List for links to these cards.
Retrospectively, we now have to look at this and think "I have all these miles, but I dont know if this is the best time to use them". From that perspective, we have to look and see if those miles are going to be used better now or in the future.
The best use of Avion miles, as stated would be to transfer them to AA or BA miles.
AA miles are best for flights overseas, especially on their off peak calendar. Flights to Northern South America are 15k / way for 9 months of the year. Flights to Europe are 20K / way for 8 months of the year etc. These award flights are subject to availability as well. If you have the intention on traveling overseas and when you do that, you have the flexibilty to take the flights that AA has made available, then transfering to AA would be a good use of them. I think you can get about 2 cents of value from them against the cash fare for a similar flight if you use them correctly. You should discount that valuation due to the inconvenience of not getting your ideal flight or routing and / or not having space when you need it.
BA Avios are great (and I mean really great) for use on short flights within North America on American Airlines operated planes. (you buy the ticket from BA Avios but it is an American Airlines operated plane). The flights that are best for Torontonians are: New York, Chicago, Phila, Washington, Charlotte, Dallas is an ok usage. Miami, Los Angeles and Phoenix are good uses too.
So that being said, if you are goign to have a use of BA miles or AA miles as outlined above, then that is likely the best way to get a high return for your Avion points.
If you are going to be using the schedule you will want to make sure that you are getting good value. The flight schedule is in bands so a flight to mexico will run you 55K avion points + taxes and that flight can cost up to $1100. Assuming you can find a flight that $1100 or more before taxes, that is a good use of miles. Obviously the more actual dollars you are offsetting, the better.
In your case, you will be offsetting a $800 less taxes for your 55k Avion points. Likely the taxes would be over $100, so your 55K would be buying $600 into your pocket. That is not a great use of your miles as you are likely to find more expensive flights in the future that you are going to need to buy.
Now, lets assume that you do not have a good use of Avion points in mind, you are essentially stuck with a type of points that is not ideal for you but we can still get some value out of it. This is much better than Aeroplan miles where you really cant get value out of it.
I use the word salvage because we are not optimizing but we can still get good uses. In a worst case you can always get some value using the schedule. The question will have to be whether you have flights coming up that will give you the opportunity to.
In a salvage case, you can transfer your Avion points to Westjet and you will get a return of 1 cent / Avion point. I think this is a poor usage.
So after you have considered what it cost you to earn those points and whether you have a good way of using up any points you have earned, you have to see where this particular option fits it.
First, I suggest we look at using these RBC Avion points as AA miles or British Airways Avios. The key thing here is that for this particular trip, this is not going to work for you. The partners of both American Airlines and / or British Airways don't do any direct flights between Toronto and Mexico. Even looking at 1-stop itineraries as an option, there is no space due to the peak Christmas season.
Secondly, let's look at the flight schedule. As I have mentioned, this would cost you 55K RBC Avion points for the flight and that would offset only ~$600. That is quite a poor return, so I wouldn't suggest you sell your RBC Avion Rewards so cheap.
If you are flush with points but a little tighter on cash, or your travel plans in the future are not going to be able to leverage much more value out of RBC Rewards, tehn I suggest you use up the RBC points before they lose more value.
Going forward, it would appear that the RBC Avion card is not ideal for you, if this trip is a typical one. From the original email, there is a sense that there is limited flexibility, which means the frequent flyer miles are going to be tough to use.
I suggest going with a more fixed value card. I would suggest a MBNA World Elite or BMO World Elite card which would give 2% back as either cash (MBNA World Elite) or towards travel (BMO World Elite). Alternatively, if you spend a lot on groceries, gas and / or restaurants, then the Scotiabank American Express Gold or Scotiabank Momentum Visa are good options for you as they give a return of 4% to gas and grocery (Momentum and Gold) and 4% to restaurants (Gold).

Aquafund Investment
Posted on June 9, 2017 Concept Note
An Impact-oriented Search Fund Focused on Aquaculture in Thailand
Resonance is supporting the development of Aquafund, an impact-oriented search fund focused on the aquaculture industry in Thailand. Aquafund is the first of its kind: a search fund designed to identify, acquire, and create triple bottom line (social, environmental, and financial) value in a targeted industry. The fund must navigate the challenges associated with unique investment structures as well as those related to social enterprises. This concept note presents a detailed description of the challenges in aquaculture, as well as how these problems could be addressed through a search fund approach.
Aquaculture and Its Sustainability Challenges
Seafood is produced in one of two main ways: capture fisheries (also known as wild-caught) and aquaculture, which is the practice of farming aquatic plants and animals. To date, more than 300+ aquatic species have been successfully farmed through aquaculture, though a much smaller number make up the bulk of production. Culture systems (e.g., extensive vs. intensive, monoculture vs. polyculture), practices (e.g., ponds, cages, rafts), and environments (e.g., freshwater, saltwater) vary considerably from region to region. These variables are selected to yield maximum production value of the final product, taking into consideration the individual species produced and the environment in which they are grown.
According to the United Nation's Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO), aquaculture already provides the majority of all the seafood consumed in the world today. Overfishing is rapidly depleting fisheries, so aquaculture has been the answer to increasing seafood production in a world with an ever increasing demand. Much like other technology-aided industrialization, aquaculture has its good, bad, and ugly sides.
The issues around aquaculture include:
Financial issues related to disease outbreaks caused by over intensification, monoculture practices and limited genetic diversity in broodstock;
Consumer health issues resulting from the use of chemicals, antibiotics, and other inputs to accelerate growth, ward off disease, and increase production yields;
Environmental issues related to the effluent runoff from production farms;
Social issues related to the lack of transparency in the supply chain that leads to illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing concerns, as well as forced and/or unsafe or unethical labor practices.
These issues go beyond aquaculture and directly impact capture fisheries through the use of trash fish, fish meal and fish oil in aquaculture feed and for broodstock. The most popular species on the market today, such as salmon and shrimp, are carnivorous and consume multiples of their own body weight in other marine-based protein to reach marketable size.
Many frameworks exist for assessing and addressing the many environmental and social issues involved in aquaculture production. Certification, standards and rating systems of different types serve as the most common proxy for assessing, addressing, and marketing responsibly produced seafood. Each certification is made up of numerous factors in broad categories such as the environment, social welfare, food safety, and animal welfare, among others. Each standard bearer chooses the factors they incorporate into their label or ratings and how the selected factors are benchmarked and rated. In addition, the chosen factors depend on the entity that develops them and, ultimately, the issues that entity seeks to address.
Two of the better-known eco-certification programs for aquaculture today dare Global Aquaculture Alliance's Best Aquaculture Practices (BAP) and the Aquaculture Stewardship Council (ASC) standards, both of which are based on the FAO aquaculture certification guidelines and address issues specifically related to farmed fish. Due to the specificity of each standard, they can and do vary across different species, so standards must be tailored accordingly. ASC, for example, has separate standards available for shrimp, tilapia, and salmon, and currently offers a total of eight different versions that cover a wide range of farmed aquatic species with at least five more versions in active development. Seafood ratings programs are also increasingly used by consumers and buyers in making sustainable seafood choices, for example the Monterey Bay Aquarium Seafood Watch® Program assesses over 80 % of the seafood in the US market.
Certifications and ratings systems can be useful marketing mechanisms to signal to consumers that the product they are choosing meets a minimum level of quality, sustainability and responsibility. This, in turn, leads to improved market access. It is investments like these, combined with streamlined operations while prioritizing additional financial, environmental, and social improvements, that can generate significant value by maximizing the potential of the existing assets on the farms today and provide an incentive for farmers to sustain the improvements. We believe that a search fund approach could be a viable way of channeling the necessary financial and human capital to achieve this vision. In our preliminary study of the aquaculture sector in Thailand, we encountered several interesting opportunities that would be ripe for an impact-oriented search fund, one of which we present below in detail.

The Business Today (Target Acquisition)
The business today is a semi-intensive, monoculture shrimp farm located in the Surat Thani province of Thailand that sits on 50 hectares of land and currently produces 50–100 tons of shrimp annually. Currently, 80 percent of the production is shipped live to China, while the remaining 20 percent is sold to domestic processors who turn it into a variety of ready-to-eat products such as shrimp cake and shrimp balls. The farm has been owned and operated by a single principal over the past 25 years. However, the principal is keen to retire and is currently seeking an exit that will allow him to remain strategically involved yet out of daily operations. This business has a solid foundation, and under the right circumstances with the right leadership, a fresh infusion of capital, and a reasonable sale price, it has significant potential to scale in a meaningful way.
The Business That Could Be
The business could be a semi-intensive, polyculture farm using a semi-flock system that produces premium, sustainably-raised shrimp, green caviar, and tilapia. Investments in modernizing and expanding the production system would allow the farm to meet the most stringent BAP/ASC certifications and Seafood Watch Best Choice standards. Improving their marketing collateral, building their brand, and developing sales and distribution channels will help elevate the farm's products to a whole new level. The farm also offers tours to the public, providing customers an opportunity to learn first-hand about the sustainable operations. Longer term, once the farm management practices are well established and rigorously tested, they could be bundled into a fully-wrapped service and then offered and competitively priced to similar farms across the country. Farmers could arrange to participate in an annual management fee or profit-sharing arrangement. An additional round of capital would be raised to finance the expansion and provide liquidity to existing shareholders.

Potential triple bottom line value drivers for this business include:
Create and demonstrate demand in the premium market for sustainably produced, tastier shrimp, stratifying what is currently a commodity market. Higher margins counter the pressure for farmers to be in a race to the bottom.
Reduce feed input requirements, alleviating pressure from IUU and overfishing concerns related to collapsing wild fisheries. One system's waste becomes another's inputs, reducing costs related to feed, which can constitute up to 60 percent of operating expenses.
Complete supply chain transparency provides end-to-end visibility and ensures that all inputs are sustainably sourced, traceable, and accounted for.
Bio-filter approach to water management leverages natural systems to clean water and eliminates the need for chemical additives and other treatments.
Partnerships with local NGOs to empower and provide better work for migrant labor at company facilities.
Mangroves planted in the corridor provide a barrier between the water resource and production ponds, preventing soil erosion and reducing environmental impact; additional restoration projects in the community would also be supported.
These initiatives rely on the acquisition of an existing, productive asset, and then leveraging that asset to improve financial, social, and environmental impacts of the business over time. Other acquisition opportunities with similar characteristics could also be well suited for the impact-oriented search fund approach. We believe this approach could be effective in sectors where achieving impact through an acquisition is a more effective and less costly alternative to building a greenfield endeavor.

As the calendar flipped over to 2018, the frenzy of prepaying property tax is finally over. As I observed in emails and Internet postings it occurred to me there are two opposite camps when it comes to paying taxes.
If I deduct the payments for 2018 property taxes even though they haven't been assessed, what are the chances I'll be audited? And if I am audited and the deductions are not allowed, what will the consequences be?
When you ask them why they would go against explicit rules, they say the IRS rules aren't necessarily the final words and the rules can be challenged in court, even though they never really challenge the rules themselves. This way they justify to themselves it's OK to ignore the rules. They won't blatantly make up numbers on their tax return but they are willing to "not know" some rules when "not knowing" goes in their favor.
Our tax system is in a way an honor system. The IRS publishes rules and they expect everyone to follow those rules. You are not required to submit evidence to support every number on your tax return. The enforcement is by the possibility of an audit, but everyone knows the rate of audits is very low. Most people have never been audited. When you are audited you are not audited for all the years. If someone is willing to take calculated risks, there's a lot of room to do so.
For example, you are allowed to contribute to an HSA and take a tax deduction only when you are in an HSA-eligible high deductible health plan. But you are not required to show any proof you are indeed in a high deductible health plan. How do they know what type of health plan you were in? They don't. Some high deductible health plans aren't HSA-eligible. How do they know your plan wasn't eligible even though it had a high deductible? They don't. You aren't eligible to contribute to an HSA when your spouse contributes to a general-purpose health care FSA. How do they know your spouse had an FSA? They don't. Would you get audited only because you contributed to an HSA? Probably not, when millions of others also legitimately contribute to an HSA.
Another example. When you had a wash sale you are supposed to exclude the loss. If you did it in the same brokerage account, the brokerage account will flag it as a wash sale. If you did it across two accounts at two different firms, neither firm knows to flag it. If you just take the loss, how do they know you had a wash sale? They don't. Would you get audited only because you took a loss? Probably not, when millions of others also legitimately took a loss.
It comes down to our attitude toward taxes. There's a weird culture in that money paid in taxes is seen as just wasted. People feel good about donating to charities while justifying super-aggressive or downright illegal moves to lower their taxes.
It's especially ironic against a backdrop of a controversial new tax law. The day before, some people were vehemently against the new tax law saying it will add a huge amount to the deficit and it will take away the necessary revenue for the social safety net. The day after, some of the same people were lining up at the local tax offices prepaying their 2018 property tax and thus adding even more to the deficit and depriving even more revenue from the social safety net. Some engage in mental gymnastics in finding excuses against the explicit notice from the IRS, telling themselves it's not all black and white. Even elected officials who supposedly care about the social safety net went out of their way in their official capacity to make sure the revenue for the social safety net is deprived some more.
I'm firmly in the camp of doing it by the book and not pushing the envelope on your taxes. It would be very sad to say "I'm able to retire because I made up my own tax rules and they never questioned me." or "I built my wealth on the backs of the elderly and the poor." Save money by other means. Your financial success does not depend on your ability to pay the least amount of taxes you can get away with. If that means I pay more taxes than otherwise, I don't see the taxes I paid as wasted. I see it as supporting the necessary social safety net and social services. Paying lower taxes isn't always a worthy pursuit.
It's nice going to bed knowing you don't have to worry about potentially being caught for cheating, stealing, etc. That has value.
Exactly. I need to be able to look at an auditor if I'm unlucky enough to be selected for an audit and know that if the auditor finds something, its the result of a mistake on my part and not a deliberate act.
Harry, this is the finest thing I have read in a long time about finance or any other subject. Thank you for taking the high road. Doing the right thing because it is the right thing can be cast as old-fashioned, but you have helped us remember that doing the right thing isn't about being a sucker but about being a part of a community/society.
THIS right here is awesome. Doing the right thing is under rated but in the case of taxes, they are part of the necessary fabric of the civilization within which we all live. If you're making money, you're paying taxes and vice versa is also important….if you're paying taxes, you're making money.
I don't have an issue with taking advantage of recognized legal loop holes in the tax system but I do have a problem with tax evasion via feigned ignorance. We all end up paying for that at some point whether we realize it or not.
Even in retirement. I take advantage of every opportunity to pay the least amount taxes that we are legally obligated to pay.
Even so, I don't consider the taxes we pay as wasted in supporting the necessary social safety net and social services; but, I do consider them to be excessive.
I agree with Brian: no excuse to break the law, or knowingly cheat, but tax avoidance is fine in my book.
I avoid people that are not honest in doing their taxes or cheat on their wife.
Well said Harry. Agree 100% with you.
I used to do taxes for free as part of a service that tried to assure that lower income people got the earned-income tax credits and child tax credits they were entitled to. Then I began to see how many upper income people came in because the service was free (not illegal, but taking advantage of my time). And to see how some people played the "mentally-disabled child" game (they can recite the code words that fit the diagnosis in the DSM), and how many more played the "disabled" game (while riding a Harley). If you have labeled your apparently-normal child as mentally-disabled for most of her childhood, what is the chance that child will ever live a normal life in adulthood? Ruining a child's life so you can live off their benefits should get a parent sent to hell, but the SSA, like the IRS, doesn't have the resources to investigate (thanks to having their budgets slashed by lawmakers of a certain stripe).
Anyway, the final straw came when I realized that the standard practice of crediting a child's higher education expenses to the parents when claiming refundable educational credits (American Opportunity and Lifetime Learning) was often not justified, that I finally dropped out of the program. If a child borrows more than half of their total expenses for the year, then the parents don't qualify for the credit, but it is taken more often than not–usually given to them by tax preparers. Let me say that I'd be ok with subsidizing students of higher education in some way (universities have become self-perpetuating money-making schemes, paying themselves with freely-dispensed student loans that saddle their young graduates with long-term debt), but claiming undeserved tax credits wouldn't be my choice for how to do it.
I am sorry that you were so displeased by your experience. I am a long-time volunteer for a similar program. I have come across some clients that wanted their return prepared in a dishonest manner. However, I have come across many other clients that present themselves in an honest fashion and have been truly needy. These clients, often poorly educated, would almost certainly not be able to navigate the complexities of accurately claiming these valuable credits on their own.
The program that I volunteer with advises the volunteers that we are not deputy IRS auditors, that the clients are responsible for what is reported on their returns, and that it is appropriate for us to advise them of this. We are also empowered to decline to participate in preparing a return that appears to be fraudulent. My program also imposes an income cap on potential clients so that volunteers spend their time on serving the needy. I'm sorry that your experience was apparently different.
It is unfortunate that our tax code is so complex that the intended recipients of credits targeting the working class can't, in many cases, reasonably prepare their returns on their own.
I am with Ryan on this!
Ryan, thanks for your response, and I'm glad that your experience has been a good one. Can I ask how you handle educational expenses at your site? Does a parent ever not get to claim the American Opportunity Credit when the child has student loans? Is the 50% of support value calculated before giving the credit to the parent?
Another great post, Harry. My mindset is different than yours, in that I equate tax as theft. But I have no desire to be thrown in jail or go through an audit, so while I've spent a good deal of time looking to maximize my tax avoidance options, I don't take any deductions that I'm not able to take legally, and in good conscience.
I'm guessing you've either never experienced theft or never benefited from a government (e.g. driven on a road)?
If you believe a single word of the drivel in this article then I have a bridge to sell you. It's not surprising that libertarians can never get elected, the crap they espouse has exposed them for the fools they are.
I have a libertarian view of taxes too like Scott. When `pushing the envelope' I try to evaluate the reward vs the risk by ratcheting how aggressive I am on a given topic and see what tax saving I net. It's easier with some tax software packages than others. Even you follow rules by the book, you can still get audited and punished if your documentation is not perfect or you misunderstood the tax law so the boundary with `tax evasion' is not clear cut.
I am a tax lawyer and CPA. Believe it or not, I have never cheated on taxes even though I know how to do it. But, you are wrong in your approach.
Did it ever occur to you that the tax law is not black and white, as you suggest? There are many, many instances where the law is unclear. That is why there are tax lawyers and CPAs. When the IRS makes an advisory opinion, do you believe that becomes law? Tax laws are enacted by Congress and decided by courts, not by the IRS.
Do you ever consider probabilities? If a specific position taken by the IRS is challenged, what are the probabilities that position would be successfully overturned by the courts? That is the question you and everyone else should be asking. IMO, your skewed lecture on morality is misplaced, though I applaud your attempt at doing so.
It would make a difference if every time you take a different position, you point out exactly where you disagreed and you give your reasons. That way it's out in the open. If they agreed after reading your arguments, you are clear. If they disagreed and the court rules in your favor, you are clear. Just throwing out a number without calling it out your different position doesn't cut it.
The advice that should have been given by this blog regarding prepayment of property tax was "Check with your tax advisor". It was inappropriate to give tax advice. It is fine if you want to lecture against tax cheats, but your characterizations were, in some cases, way off base.
I applaud you for taking the high road. I found it easier to do that before the president said, of avoiding taxes, "That makes me smart." As you say, the honor system helps make our country great, avoiding an awful lot of corruption.
That said, there are gray or ill-defined areas, where even the best intentioned person can't know what the law "requires." I'm struggling with the new law in that I made plans based around (then) current law, which was changed through a process I view having diminished moral standing (a majority of Americans voted for House Democrats).
Moral foundations of politics + tax law = furrowed brow.
A lot of deductions, "loopholes", etc. are in place because people with influence have helped to put them in place. Some of these are intentionally complex to ensure that the average person can't take advantage of it.
Some are intentionally vague so that the average person avoids taking advantage of it for fear that they'll be audited, while others (the ones who helped put these things in place, along with their friends) take advantage of them, banking on the fact that the vagueness of it can be used to their advantage (worst case, if audited and challenged, they pay the tax shortfall later).
I'm a retired CPA and thought your post was outstanding. But I also agreed with what JDC said.
When you're driving on an uncrowned Interstate with a posted speed limit of 70, I'm wondering what speed you drive.
Thank God for radar detectors and laser jammers (in states where they're legal).
Amazed by the number of folks commenting who seem to want to justify cheating, by wiggling their words "the courts decide". Thats like saying its ok to steal unless you are found guilty by a judge!
Nothing immoral about strategizing to pay the minimum. Very immoral to take a catch me if you can strategy.
Many prepayments were legit this year, some were not. And playing dumb is not ok.
And in some states, homeowners may have received estimated assessments or taxes due in 2018 based partly on assessments from earlier years. Similarly, Mr. Cuomo's executive order allowed local governments to levy taxes ahead of schedule. How the I.R.S. will treat such cases remains uncertain.
Mr. Herzig said the I.R.S. guidance was also based on limited precedents and could be overturned by a legal challenge. As a result, he said, many taxpayers might prepay and hope that the courts rule in their favor.
What i am saying is people who are prepaying when there has been "no" assessment are clearly not allowed to take it.
Your post reflects the wishful thinking of the "let a court say i really owe it" group.
Yes there will always be a grey area for a few where an estimate went out (does that count as an assessment?). But the wishful thinking. / catch me if you can crowd will use the uncertainty for specific cases and try to drive their tax deduction truck right thru it.
90 some percent chance you wont get caught and the irs will let this all go, so why not take it is what i am sure many people are thinking.
We do not disagree on the ethical issues. You have now doubled down on your tax advice, so it seems you do believe that you are more knowledgeable than Professor Herzig. To you the law is clear, but to Professor Herzig the law is uncertain.
You will never find 100% agreement among academics. We don't know whether Professor Herzig represents the mainstream or a climate change denier type of fringe opinion. Governor Cuomo is also not a disinterested party. From his recent speech, now we know a big part of this drama was fanned by Governor Cuomo for political gains.
So take a poll of tax law academics, tax lawyers, and CPAs. The question is simple: Is the tax law regarding prepayment of property tax certain, as you and Dave state, or is it uncertain as explained by Professor Herzig? Hopefully, when the results all come back as uncertain, you will not claim that all were ideologically or politically biased.
What a great post, just wanted to send kudos to you. "There's a weird culture in that money paid in taxes is seen as just wasted" especially resonated with me. I found your blog years ago because you described how to do a back door with IRA contribution so comprehensively and I've enjoyed your posts ever since. Thanks for giving back to the internet reading public!!!
Picking up on this late.
I am neither an account nor a lawyer. I thought that the IRS did require one to state in the return that they were taking a position at odds with the IRS interpretation.
I drive the speed limit or more slowly, always. It is not a matter of getting caught. It is a matter of obeying the law. If I really thought the speed limit was too slow I would try to get it changed. Speeding is a major cause of accidents and death. All those speed related accidents and deaths are caused by drivers who are convinced they are so "good" that it will never happen to them.
I am not sold by the argument that taxes support the social safety net. A huge share of taxes go to things that have nothing to do with helping the poor. Consider fancy junkets for Congress, food and alcohol for receptions and dinners, bombs, bullets, guns and a massive regulatory industry that slows economic growth. Don't collect more in taxes, cut spending.

Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn, Golden Dawn Grades, Rituals
The Golden Dawn grade of Adeptus Exemptus is the eighth grade of the GD system, immediately succeeding the grade of Adeptus Major and preceding that of Magister Templi (or in some branches of the Golden Dawn tradition, a grade corresponding to Daath). It is also known by the numeration 7=4 and is supposedly associated with the Qabalistic Sephirah of Chesed.
Some authorities claim that the grades of Daath or Magister Templi and above cannot be held by living Adepts, thus effectively making the grade of Adeptus Exemptus the highest in the Golden Dawn system.[1]
General Nature of the Adeptus Exemptus Grade Edit
Like other grades in the Golden Dawn, that of Adeptus Exemptus is named after the seventh degree of the SRIA which in turn is derived from a similarly named degree of the Golden and Rosy Cross. The published details of the Golden and Rosy Cross version of this degree amount to little more than notes, from which it would be impossible to construct a ritual with any amount of certainty.
The SRIA version of the Ritual is an unsophisticated affair in which the Candidate is told to "face death", before being told to have hope in the life of the soul after death.
William Wynn Westcott described the GD 7=4 grade as being related to the life of Christian Rosenkreutz - and also that it was
"...referred to the higher and more exalted rank and attainments of him who founded the Rosicrucian Order, as a new formulation of that Occult philosophy or Wisdom Religion which, we cannot doubt, has never been entirely absent since the manifestation of human intellect with a capacity for the apprehension of things Divine."[2]
In the GD, the original chiefs of the Order assumed the grade of 7=4 upon their own authority, without having undergone any Ritual at that time. As with the grade of Adeptus Major, almost no-one was awarded the grade before the original order broke up, although Mathers conferred it on a select few at his temple in Paris.
Of GD-related orders, there are two Adeptus Exemptus rituals which are publically available: one created by Robert Felkin for use by the Stella Matutina and one created by Arthur Edward Waite for his Fellowship of the Rosy Cross. Mathers is presumed to have created an Adeptus Exemptus ritual which he then used in the Alpha Et Omega, but few details have been published.
Adeptus Exemptus (Stella Matutina) Edit
This has been published by Patrick Zalewski: he gives the full title of the ritual as "The Mystical Grade of 7=4, being the grade of the Red Rose which Blossomed."[3]. However, there is a version of the same ritual amongst the papers of W B Yeats in the National Library of Ireland, where it is entitled "... being the grade of the Rod which blossomed." This would imply that the version of the ritual undergone by Yeats refers to the legend of Aaron's Rod, which blossomed as a sign that God was confirming Aaron's priestly authority.
The ritual bears a certain superficial resemblance to the Rose-Croix degree of Scottish Rite Freemasonry, although this is mainly in the structure of the Ritual. There are three officers: the Chief Adept (called the King of Salem), a female officer called Shekinah, and a Magus, who appears in the close of the ritual behind a veil in the Vault of the Adepti, having entered through a secret door in the Jupiter wall. In addition, the Candidate's own role in the ceremony is quite involved, making him or her as it were a fourth officer.
There is a complex array of symbolism in the ritual, related to general themes of arising from ones Earthbound existence, dedicating ones life to the service of the Highest, and transmutation into a higher spiritual state.
Adeptus Exemptus (Fellowship of the Rosy Cross) Edit
Waite's ceremony is specifically themed the "Mystery of Resurrection." The ceremony represents a symbolic progression from Geburah, via the path of Teth, into Chesed where, within the "Sanctuary" the Candidate is ordained by a Magus - the theme of Resurrection is thus revealed using some very obvious Christian symbolism relating to the Easter story. The Candidate then leaves the Sanctuary and traverses the paths of Yod and Kaph, symbolically bringing the influence of Chesed down into Tiphereth and Netzach.

This positive experience tickled my curiosity and I decided to assemble some of our observations, based on our initial house hunting and, later, my interest and research. In the Las Vegas area, I focused on Feng Shui "compatibility" based on empty new-builds. All of the homes were built within the last five years and were unoccupied. I acquired a few pictures and compared the structures and placement of built-in components (i.e., doors, windows, and potential placement of furniture as necessitated by the structure) to several books and resources I have available on Feng Shui. In the end, I noticed some consistencies with regard to the class of individual for which the homes were built.
For homes within the Upper-Middle class of society, the structures were built to support employment and consumption.
For homes within the Retirement class of society, the structures were built to support endings and isolation from society (e.g., foot of bed facing an external door).
This all seemed interesting in that the type of home built seemed to fit within a particular need or desire for a given societal class. It also seems to be that people purchase a home that supports the issues and lessons on which they are embarking. This approach is a hidden, and ingenious, psychological "marketing gimmick" for builders. Indeed, most people will always go toward that which is the most comfortable.
Of course, one cannot specifically reference outcome by class regarding the selection of the home structure. However, it seems that the architecture of today reflects the mind set of the country as a whole. While, in the long run, many choose the best house they can afford for their family, comfort, and lifestyle; however, most are unconscious of the effects of the space while focusing on the structural illusion.

MUMBAI (Thomson Reuters Foundation) - A transgender model will walk the ramp at one of India's premier fashion events next month for the first time, a sign of greater acceptance of a community that is ostracised despite recent laws ensuring their protection and more opportunities.
Anjali Lama, who is from Nepal, first auditioned for the Lakmé Fashion Week last year but was rejected, she said. She will model for several leading designers at the show running from February 1 to February 5 in Mumbai.
"It wasn't easy for me in the early days when there was so much rejection and discrimination," Lama, 32, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation.
Born Nabin Waiba Tamang, Lama said she took the name Anjali, a common name in India and Nepal, after a transgender friend suggested it.
Lama joined a modelling academy in Kathmandu, but did not come out to her family. When someone from her village found out Lama was living as a transgender woman and told her family, they cut ties with her and told her that she had let them down.
"My mother, to some extent, was more accepting but there really wasn't much awareness then," Lama said.
"There is more awareness and acceptance now in Nepal, and that has helped more people like me to come out," she said.
Nepal emerged from a decade of conflict against Maoist rebels in 2006 after which it began to acknowledge the rights of the country's LGBT community.
In 2007, the country's Supreme Court ruled that citizens were entitled to select their gender identity.
Nepal granted protections to LGBT people in its new Constitution and began issuing passports with a third gender category in 2015, one of only a handful of countries to do so.
Still, discrimination and abuse persist, and jobs are hard to come by.
In India, transgender people are eligible for quotas in jobs and educational institutions. They are even getting a boost from Bollywood films, with a pop band of transgender women featuring on the soundtrack of a Hindi movie last year.
The Lakmé Fashion Week is committed to inclusivity and breaking stereotypes in gender, size and beauty, said Jaspreet Chandok, fashion head at IMG Reliance, an organiser of the event.
"This season, our model pool will feature a transgender, a gender neutral and a plus size model ... (to) take these conversations forward, shining light on some these issues and bringing them to the national consciousness," he said.

Vladimir Putin has congratulated Khabib Nurmagomedov on his victory over Conor McGregor at UFC 229, and sympathised with the fighter over his actions at the end of the bout.
The Nevada Athletic Commission (NAC) has filed a complaint against Nurmagomedov after he leapt from the octagon and fought with one of McGregor's trainers after the fight in Las Vegas on Saturday. Several other men, believed to be members of Nurmagomedov's team, attacked McGregor although the Irishman declined to press charges over the incident.

Putin appeared to reference McGregor's behaviour in the build-up to the fight when he met Nurmagomedov on Wednesday. McGregor had previously mocked the Russian fighter's father, country and religion. "Anyone could have jumped [out of the octagon] in the same way," said Putin. "If we are attacked from the outside, not only you, we could all jump in such a way … there could be hell to pay." Putin added that "it's better not to reach that stage."
Nurmagomedov has since apologised for his actions and said his father and trainer, Abdulmanap, would "smash me when I get home".
"I will ask your father not to punish you too strictly, because you achieved the main task, worthily and convincingly," said Putin.
The NAC could fine and suspend McGregor and Nurmagomedov for their actions on Saturday but UFC president Dana White has not ruled out a rematch, which would be sure to pull in huge revenues.
"[Nurmagomedov] has to go before the Nevada commission [after his purse from the fight was withheld due to the brawl], and we have to see what's going to happen with Khabib and this whole mess," White told ESPN on Monday. "But Conor McGregor has already called me, wanting a rematch."
Although the UFC have yet release official pay-per-view figures from Saturday's event, White told TMZ on Monday the event did "way over two million" buys, shattering the promotion's record of 1.65m purchases for the UFC 202 card headlined by McGregor's rematch with Nate Diaz.
"The pay-per-view numbers are starting to roll in, so I'm in a much better mood than I was on Saturday," White said. "We didn't do three million. But it's so hard to crack two million. Even (Mike) Tyson-(Evander) Holyfield was at like 1.995 (million). Things like that didn't crack two million. We're way over two million, so I'm happy."

Bear hunting now legal here
By Mountain Eagle Staff | on January 14, 2009
By ROGER ALFORD Associated Press Writer
For two days next December it will be legal to shoot bears in Kentucky, under a rule change that won legislative approval Tuesday, and supporters hope the hunt will help restore a fear of humans to the large animals that have increasingly become a nuisance for some people living in the state's mountain region.
Some bears have become brazen, chasing tourists from campsites, raiding garbage cans, and, in one instance, charging deer hunters, said Rick Allen, president of the Kentucky League of Sportsmen, a hunters organization that had been pushing for a season for the past three years.
"We're having more and more bear-human conflicts," Allen said.
The hunting rule approved by the legislature's Administrative Regulation Review Committee sets a two-day season in three eastern Kentucky counties. Hunters will be allowed to kill a total of only 10 bears.
Kentucky becomes one of 28 states that allow bear hunting, according to the Humane Society of the United States.
The Humane Society opposed the Kentucky hunt, arguing that Kentucky has so few bears that none should be killed.
Wildlife Commissioner Jon Gassett told lawmakers there may be as many as 350 bears in the area where the hunt will be conducted.
A state commissioned study last year estimated the number of bears at between 90 and 130. Pam Rogers, the Humane Society program director in Kentucky, said the actual number could be event less than that.
"The population of bears is just too small," Rogers said, no matter the estimate.
Wildlife officers have received regular complaints of bears scavenging for food at campsites and homesteads. And at a state park near Prestonsburg, a bear held tourists at bay inside a cabin until rangers arrived to chase it away.
More than a century ago, bears thrived in Kentucky's mountain region, but overhunting and habitat loss led to their disappearance. Over the past 20 years, they have been venturing back into Kentucky from the forests of neighboring states like Tennessee, Virginia and West Virginia.
Rogers said no state with a comparable population of black bears allows hunting.
Rogers said New Jersey, with an estimated 1,500 bears, doesn't allow hunting, and neither does Florida, which has as many as 3,000 bears.
Kentucky's "tiny, fragile population" deserves protection, she said.

With all the attention these days going to the 'rock stars' of extreme beer, it's easy to lose sight of those who may not make our beers, but bring us our beers.
Take for example, Casey Hard, the cellarman for Maxs TapHouse in Baltimore, Maryland (and, oh yes, the General Manager).
Ten years ago, Casey was a doorman, checking IDs and enforcing civility.
Since then, he has overseen the creative expansion of Max's 70 draught lines, its several hundred bottle list, and its reserve list of carefully aged beers. He is the cellarman for its cask lines, and he has been the moving force behind its 3 (soon to be 4) wildly successful annual Belgian beer fests: 72 Hours of Belgium.
In 2010, Casey will be overseeing the emporium's growth to 100 draught lines and 6 cask lines. Think of Max's as a living good beer museum —without pretense— and Casey as the (cool) docent who oversees it all.
If you're in Fells Point in Baltimore tonight, stop by Max's, buy a beer, tip your bartender, raise your glass (there will be a beer you haven't had before) and toast Casey. It's his birthday, and he's working the evening shift.
Follow the Brookston Beer Bulletin's more comprehensive calendar of beer birthdays. It's a marvelous resource for learning more about the folk who brew beer, deliver it, serve it, drink it, and write and talk about it.
I didn't know it was his birthday. He is a great guy, and one of the most knowledgable beer people I know. If someone hasn't talked to him, they should get to Max's asap.

NEW DELHI: It seems 'India calling' for global business leaders. Close on the heels of Apple CEO Tim Cook's India visit, now comes the news of Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella visiting the country. The India-born CEO will arrive in the country on May 30. This will be Nadella's third visit to the country since he became Microsoft's CEO in February 2014.
Nadella made his first visit to India (after becoming CEO) in November 2015 on the occasion of the software giant celebrating 25 years in the country.
During this visit, he announced a new programme for startups to create a single platform to bring together data to help solve burgeoning urban problems.
Nadella's second trip to the country was in December 2015 for his annual vacation, which was largely a personal visit.
Nadella had said that Microsoft's goal and dream is to empower local entrepreneurs to solve last-mile connectivity.
In his upcoming visit, Nadella will address a press event in New Delhi. The event will have sessions in which Nadella will address students, developers and entrepreneurs on "how technology is fostering a culture of innovation to solve real-world problems and driving India's transformation."
Microsoft chief will also attend a session with some 100-150 top executives of corporate India, which will be organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

Huarautambo (del quechua waraw 'alto y profundo', tampu 'posada') es un sitio arqueológico perteneciente a la cultura inca ubicado en el departamento de Pasco, Perú. El complejo cuenta con puente, palacio y pileta construidos con piedra.
Fue declarado Patrimonio Cultural de la Nación el 25 de marzo de 2003.

El complejo fue construido durante el gobierno de  Pachacútec. Algunos de los edificios más interesantes en Huarautambo son Incahuasi ("casa del Inca"), Warmiwasi ("casa de la mujer") y Phaqcha ("cascada"), un altar para ceremonias de agua.

Paqcha Inca: Pileta imperial inca , magníficamente pulida sobre una roca gigantesca , es una pileta ceremonial de intrincado diseño hidráulico , que servía para el culto del agua.

Edificio Inkawasi  : Fue construida para la nobleza inca , cuenta con 14 hornacinas , en las bases de la construcción usaron arcilla , con el fin de proteger de los desastres naturales , el techo estaba hecho de paja y palos.

Ubicación
Se encuentra ubicado en la Provincia de Daniel Alcides Carrión, Distrito de Yanahuanca, en el margen izquierdo del río Huarautambo, en la comunidad del mismo nombre. Está situado a 7 kilómetros  de Yanahuanca, en Pasco. El sitio arqueológico de Astobamba está cerca de él.

Importancia
El sitio arqueológico Huarautambo, edificado entre los siglos XII - XVI, fue un asentamiento inca que servía de tambo (lugar para el descanso y acopio de recursos utilizado por el personal estatal inca) y santuario. Forma parte del Camino del Inca o Qhapaq Ñan y se ubica entre Wanuko Marka (al norte) y el pueblo Pumpu (al sur). Las edificaciones en este lugar muestran dos estilos arquitectónicos, uno inca y el otro yarush, debemos este doble estilo a los hombres constructores, pues algunos eran picapedreros cusqueños, mientras que el resto eran, principalmente, hombres de la cultura Yarush.

En este sitio arqueológico se muestra un cartel informativo muy preciso, el cual evidencia: "Huarautambo: Sitio arqueológico Tawantinsuyu construido entre 1460-1470 d.C en pleno gobierno del inka Pachacuti del Cusco. En Pasco el general Tupa Yupanqui ordenó la edificación del tambo a los expertos picadores de piedra traídos del Cusco, apoyados por trabajadores Yacha y Yarush, dos naciones del intermedio tardío oriundas de la cuenca del rio Chaupiwaranga. El tambo está asociado al Qhapaq Ñan que lo atraviesa. Destacan en el sitio: 1. El edificio Inkawasi 2. El edificio Warmiwasi 3. La Paqcha, altar para ceremonias del culto al agua". Con el pasar del tiempo este cartel se ha derruido, actualmente son muy pocos los medios informativos que muestran algún dato relevante propio del sitio arqueológico, in situ.

En el sitio arqueológico de Huarautambo podemos encontrar edificaciones que corresponden con palacios, casas, almacenes, piletas, garitas y corrales. El estado de todas estas edificaciones está grandemente destruida; por lo que no se pueden notar a simple vista, con excepción del palacio Inkawasi, Warmiwasi y la Paqcha.

Cronología
La construcción de este sitio arqueológico se habría dado entre los años de 1460 – 1470 d. C., esta temporalidad ha sido ubicada por algunos arqueólogos en el periodo Intermedio Tardío mientras que otros, como Luis Guillermo Lumbreras lo ubican en el periodo de los Estados Regionales e inicios del Imperio Inca. Sería esta fecha cuando los constructores cuzqueños junto a los hombres Yarush inician la construcción de los diversos recintos, las mismas que serán utilizadas por personales estatales incas hasta la invasión española.

UZH - Institute of Asian and Oriental Studies - Welcome to Islamic Studies!
In our new brochure you will find infor-mation about the main foci of the Islamic Studies in Zurich, about the range of courses, mobility programs, perspectives etc.
Research and teaching in Islamic Studies in Zurich is concerned with the cultures and societies of the Islamic world from their beginnings up to the present. Based on philological and historical research, Islamic Studies draws on a broad repertoire of other relevant disciplinary approaches and theories depending on the particular themes and fields of study, ranging from normative and literary traditions to contemporary politics. One Chair (Islamic Studies, Prof. U. Rudolph), working above all with source-texts in Arabic and Persian, focuses on pre-modern periods, especially in the fields of philosophy, theology and history of science. Research and teaching at the other Chair (Gender Studies and Islamic Studies, Prof. B. Dennerlein) covers themes in the modern and contemporary cultural, social, and political history of the Middle East/North Africa (MENA).
An in-depth introduction to various aspects of the history, culture, religion and society of the Muslim world, with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa; the provision of a solid philological knowledge of Arabic (Classical and Modern Standard) and New Persian, as well as a foundational knowledge of Turkish; exposure to selected key texts in original languages; as well as an engagement with essential problems and questions concerning the region.
The further, research-oriented degree programs (MA, Doctorate) offer a deeper engagement with themes concerning past and present, oriented towards the research focus of the two Chairs.


Having built and listened to both I would say that because the OS go lower I can listen to them without a sub. The Heliums need a sub for the listener to be able to hear the same low frequencies. But the Heliums are smaller in size so visually they disappear into my living room decor better.
It's all about how your speakers appear and sound. Sound is important, but so is appearance.
thanks! makes sense. I do like the 'tiny' heliums.
I do think that the Mini-8 could be mated with the ND-91 - and that would have a lot of potential. The sensitivity is similar to the ND-16 used in the Helium, but in looking at the response plots I would guess the filter on the tweeter would change a lot. The ND-16 has a lot more output in the 2 kHz to 5 kHz region than the Mini-8 does. So I would consider it a new design rather than a drop-in. Dayton made their B652 the B652-Air, but Helium-Air just doesn't quite sound right. Maybe Liquid Helium, or Heliox?
Also, I know the Mini-8 is small, but it isn't as small as the ND-16. One would have to make sure it would fit on the baffle.
Cost was certainly a consideration in the tweeter choice. The ND-16 saves you $20 per speaker, which becomes significant if one were to build 5-7 of these for surround sound.
For anyone struggling to build the crossover by looking at the schematic, here's a picture of mine. From my fifth Helium build. This one is destined for center channel duty. Soon 5 of the speakers in my 5.1 living room system will be Heliums.
The inductors at the top and bottom are from Dynavox.com. The rest of the parts are from PE. I would have used the smaller NPE caps but PE was out of the sizes needed.
That's excellent, thanks for posting.
ETA: Are they (dynavox choke coils) really 0.5 ohms? That seems rather high for the DCR.
Could these be put into a wall as an inwall? Otherwise could the go on-wall?
I need to do something really WAF friendly for the bedroom wall mounted lcd.
It seems I measured the DCR of the 1.0 mH inductor and posted it earlier in this thread. I can't remember.
Their website lists the DCR of the 0.2 mH inductor as 0.5 ohms. That does seem a little high but now that mine is installed I have no way to measure it.
I plan on recessing my Helium center channel into the wall. Just build a box around it of the correct volume.
Paul Carmody has designed some OS variants for near-wall use. These have baffle step compensation so they will be heavy in bass and midbass if used on a wall. Scott can fill you in on more details.
im kinda surprised this isn't offered as a kit on PE yet.
I think the necessity for tiny coils kind of puts it out of PE comfort zone. I agree, it would make a great kit - but so would any number of other small 2-way speakers.
I think the necessity for tiny coils kind of puts it out of PE comfort zone.
I think this will work okay. The ND-91 tends to have a bit of a dip in the response in the baffle step region. You will probably have some peaking below that, which plugging the port may solve if needed.
I think it would fit in the cabinet.
You would be upping the DC resistance a little (from 0.5 mH to 0.88 mH), but the effect would be pretty minimal for this design. I would feel comfortable using the buyout coil (core removed of course).
