One of the biggest applause lines from President Obama's latest "the time for talk is over" talk-talk-talk today on Demcare at Arcadia University came when he peddled the slacker health care plan to adoring college students. Cradle-to-grave entitlement culture gone wild.
I reported on this slacker mandate last December.
The greatest gifts you can give your children can't be boxed and bowed. Consider the timeless gift of self-sufficiency – a stubborn thirst to leave the nest, make it own your own, and live as a free-willed adult. It's a concept that Big Nanny Democrats are sabotaging at every legislative turn.
Several times during the sneaky weekend debate on the government health care takeover bill this past Sunday, Democrats hailed a provision requiring insurance plans that cover dependents to provide benefits to children up to age 26. Democrat Sens. Ben Cardin and Tom Harkin both specifically championed the unfunded mandate in their floor statements.
This manifestation of the Nanny State is especially galling given the massive levels of generational theft that the Democrat majority has presided over the last year. If they truly cared about the physical and financial well-being of young Americans, they'd stop piling on expensive regulations that simply put affordable health insurance out of their reach. I propose a new symbol for the Democrats. Out: Donkey. In: A giant adult pacifier.
I can tell you what most fiscally responsible parents are thinking when they hear the feds "taking care" of everyone else's adult "children" for them by confiscating their tax dollars and forcing private companies to comply: You've got to be kidding me. Yes, Virginia, there are still some of us left who believe our children shouldn't depend on a government-manufactured umbilical cord as they approach their third decade on earth.
Wisconsin has experienced similar results. "Whenever you insure somebody whom you didn't insure before there's some additional risk," insurance expert James Mueller told the Milwaukee Sentinel-Journal. Mueller points to the premium increases that have followed over coverage mandates on employer-sponsored plans. "The problem with all these good ideas is there's funding necessary," Mueller said. In Wisconsin, adult children are not only covered, but also the children of those "children" if they live in single-parent homes.
As he rammed this mandate and the mountain of other government regulations buried in Demcare, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid promised on Sunday: "We are reshaping the nation. That's what we want to do." Indeed, this defining dependency up phenomenon is part of the larger push for single-payer-by-proxy. The other universal health care Trojan Horse signed into law this year – the expansion of SCHIP (the State Children's Health Insurance Program) – welcomed more non-"children" into the government insurance fold.
This is the engine that will power the Demcare architects' most naked, radical ambitions: "Health care as an inalienable right," as Sen. Harkin put it. How? By breeding a massive permanent culture of dependency and bottomless debt in the name of the "children" from birth through quarterlife — and beyond.

The War Against Illiteracy: The View From One Small Corner of the Battlefield
By bglr_sujatha
April 9th, 2006 @ 9:03 AM Infrastructure,Living,Opinion
As I turn off of the Jama Masjid Road on to one of the side streets in Ilyasnagar in South Bangalore, I come to a big, colorful shamiana that takes up the entire width of the street. At the head of the shamiana is a dais draped with a thin carpet. On the dais are chairs, a rectangular table with two flower vases (that the photographer promptly removes when the program starts because they're blocking his line of sight) and a microphone on a long stand.
Off to the left of the dais, past the sound system, its snaking wires and the loudspeakers, is the gate that leads to Noor Ayesha's house. The gate opens to a long corridor at the far end of which is the front door that opens to a room about 8 feet by 12 feet that is filled to capacity with people and is buzzing with activity.
Noor Ayesha, petite, reed-thin and bubbling with energy is resplendent in a shimmering green and pink chudidhar. She has a constant stream of guests, some already seated in molded plastic chairs that dot the front room of the house, others still arriving, removing their slippers at the front door before coming in. She is at once in command of the goings on in her house and shies at all the attention she is receiving.
Noor's male relatives are busy lifting low, long school benches lined along one wall of the front room and taking them outside. The women of the house, other than Noor, are busy in the kitchen getting out paper plates, snacks and fruits.
Noor is busy attending to little children, guiding them to a bench in the far corner of the room, getting them to sit. The children are dressed in their best clothes and their faces made up as if for a performance. They sit quietly and patiently and watch the adults.
The room itself has a showcase built into the wall to the left of the front door. The showcase is full of children's notebooks, blocks and puzzles. Number charts, alphabet charts, fruit, vegetable and flower charts hang along the wall facing the front door. A little higher, towards the left of center of the wall, hangs an illustration of Mecca and a chart welcoming everyone. A roll-up black board in the center of the wall proclaims that Noor Ayesha's home is also the Little Lord Pre-Primary English School. Today, Noor Ayesha and her children are celebrating their school's Annual School Day.
Noor's house, in short, doubles as a pre-school and Noor is a foot-soldier in the war against illiteracy in India.
She started out as an Akshara volunteer in their 'Community Outreach' program (of which the pre-school or 'Balwadi' program is one of four components) in November 2004. She went around from house to house with research provided by Akshara (number of children in the household, how many are in school, how many are not and why not) and urged parents to send their pre-school aged children to her house for a few hours everyday so she could school them.
For eight months, she ran her pre-school under Akshara's banner and received all the necessary teaching materials and a monthly stipend from Akshara. Within a few months, she had the experience and a sufficient number of children in her school for her to contemplate going independent. So she took the training offered by Akshara on how to run a self-sustaining Balwadi in April of 2005 year. From June onwards, she has been running her pre-primary school on the fees she has collected from the families and with some help from her locality's Corporator.
Now Noor has 54 children in the age group of 2 and a half to 6 years old and she's hearing from parents who want to send their children to her even earlier. Initially, her language and math classes were conducted only in Urdu. Following numerous requests from parents, she has now hired an English teacher and offers classes in both Urdu and English.
Enabling Noor to accomplish all this within a span of a few months are her family, her neighborhood and the leadership in her locality. Her in-laws were both school teachers and are fully supportive of their daughter-in-law's efforts to get children on the right track in their community. Her family is investing in building an entire floor above their existing ground-floor house to help her expand her classes. Her local Corporator, known as Mr. Tipu to his constituents, encouraged Noor's efforts by donating books to the school, mementos for functions, funds to Noor to help her get started when she went independent and fees to families who struggle to send their children to her pre-school.
Although she's been on her own for close to eight months now, the Akshara volunteer coordinator looks in on Noor often to check on her progress and help her address operational problems. On the day she celebrated her pre-school's annual day, Mr. Tipu arrived with his entourage to grace the function and exhort the audience to send every child to school and praised Noor's efforts. The Chief Operating Officer of Akshara Foundation, Col. Murthy Rajan attended the annual day celebrations as well, along with Lata Devi, the Balwadi Coordinator for Bangalore and Mamata, a Cluster Resource Person for that part of Bangalore with Akshara. Also in attendance were Balwadi operators from other areas in and around Ilyasnagar who'd gone independent, seeking inspiration from Noor's success and in turn providing support just by being there, sharing her moment of joy.
The success Noor has had not only in starting a Balwadi in her area, but going on to become independent is a sign of the level of demand for education at the pre-primary level. There are no government-run pre-primary schools in Bangalore, so most families who cannot afford private school education end up keeping their children at home until they are old enough to be sent to first grade in the government schools.
Unfortunately, by that time, they are already behind in terms of the things they could have learned in the crucial formative years of their lives. This leads to learning problems in the primary schools and government primary school teachers are overwhelmed by the amount of work necessary to bring the children up to speed. Schools resort to social promotions until the fifth grade with no attention to what the children have actually learned in the intervening years. All these factors collectively result in children dropping out of school altogether somewhere along the road.
This is where Akshara's Balwadi and the government's Anganwadi programs step in. While Anganwadis try to provide health, education, and other services that are not accessible to the poorer communities, Balwadis, which became operational in Bangalore in 2000, try to exclusively address this gap in pre-primary education in the slums and day-laborer communities of Bangalore.
Noor's is one of 94 self-sustaining Balwadis in Bangalore. 234 other Balwadis are operating under the Akshara banner. In all, Akshara's Balwadis cover about 4,214 children while the self-sustaining Balwadis serve about 1,915 children.
On this day, Noor, who has not summoned up enough courage to go up on stage, is standing on the ground next to the dais, the microphone pulled low to her height and is welcoming her guests and the parents of her school children. She nervously tugs at her duppatta willing it to stay around her head, her fingers gripping the microphone and adjusting her duppatta by turn. After every sentence, she turns to the English teacher in her school, who has Noor's speech ready in her hands. Together, they make it through the welcome speech.
The audience, mostly women in the front rows, but a sizeable group of men from the community as well in the fringes, many with young children on their laps, are appreciative of Noor. They listen intently when Mr. Tipu speaks, turning to look at Noor every time her name is mentioned.
Noor has moved off to the side now, and is organizing her children. She is already intent on the next stage of the program. This is what the Annual Day is all about. It's about how far they have come in the span of a year, and it's about showing the parents and the rest of the community why it is important they go to school and stick with it. The children are as excited and nervous as she is. They are about to perform on stage showing off all they've learnt in their Noor teacher's school.

Its a very good piece. Such stories dont get highlighted in the media & this becomes the next best place to showcase it.
Noor's efforts are praiseworthy. You have also described it with the right element of sensitivity.

Our goal is to oppose Islamization by exposing, marginalizing, and disempowering orthodox Islam.
The Golden Rule in Islam
Islam's apologists say that Islam just needs a reform. After all, Christianity and Judaism have been reformed. But the apologists never get around to saying what the reform would be.
There are many kinds of reform possible to Islam, but does anyone care if they reformed prayer by praying towards LA rather than Mecca? No. The only thing that kafirs care about is how Islam treats us. We want our treatment changed. We want political Islam reformed.
Islam's treatment of us can be found in one word — kafir. The Koran says that a kafir (unbeliever) can be robbed, killed, tortured, mocked, insulted, beheaded, raped, crucified and on and on. The Hadith and the Sira agree with the Koran. Every single reference to the kafirs is negative, offensive and hateful.
The word "kafir" illustrates both of political Islam's principles — submission and duality. The Trilogy (Koran, Sira and Hadith) says that every kafir in the world must submit to political Islam.
The Koran also establishes dualism with its ethical system. A Muslim is not to kill another Muslim; a kafir may be killed, or not. A Muslim is not to lie to another Muslim; a kafir may be deceived or not. And so on. Islam has one set of ethics for Muslims and another set of ethics for the kafir — dualistic ethics.
The later political Koran written in Medina frequently contradicts the early religious Koran written in Mecca. The Koran gives a rule for removing the contradiction by saying that the later Koran "abrogates" the early Koran. But the earlier Koran is still true; it was given by Allah. So in Islam both sides of a contradiction can be true. This gives Islam its dualistic logic. Our unitary logic says that if two things contradict, then one of them is false
This dualism accounts for the two types of Muslims — the good Muslim at work and the Taliban Muslim. Both Muslims are "real" Muslims. Dualism gives the "good" Muslim plausible deniability when they say that jihadists are not "real" Islam. Dualism means the "good" Muslims and the jihadists are just two ends of the same stick.
The Koran, Sira and Hadith are filled with demands for all kafirs to submit to Islam. Kafirs can submit by joining the religion or submit by being a dhimmi (an apologist). Either way, the Koran constantly demands that all kafirs submit to Islam.
So what kafirs want to reform about Islam is its principles of political submission and duality. What principle can be used to reform Islam? The key is how Islam treats the "other" — the kafir. The Golden Rule tells us how the "other" is to be treated. Every culture in the world has the Golden Rule as part of its heritage. But not Islam.
So what happens if we apply — treat others, as you want to be treated — to political Islam? All of the hurtful, hateful and harmful duality and submission disappear. What is amazing is how much of the Islamic doctrine goes away. About 61% of the Koran disappears. The Sira loses 75% of its words and 20% of the Hadith vanishes.
And those figures are low. All of the abusive words about women would go away as well. So the above reductions would be even bigger.
The Golden Rule even changes Hell. Islamic Hell is primarily political. Hell is mentioned 146 times in the Koran. Only 9 references are for moral failings — greed, lack of charity, love of worldly success. The other 137 references to Hell involve eternal torture for not agreeing that Mohammed is right. That is a political charge, not a morals failure. Thus 94% of the references to Hell are as a political prison for dissenters. The Golden Rule would empty the political prison.
Think how wonderful a Golden Rule Islam would be. No arguments, demands, accusations, law suits, threats, pressure, hateful speech, killings, or bombings. A Muslim could even be a true friend to a kafir. Islam would develop a sense of shame and admit to the terrible suffering of the 270,000,000 kafirs killed in jihad. A Golden Rule Islam would ask forgiveness about all the suffering of the dhimmis. A Golden Rule Islam would also admit to running the slave trade in Africa by killing and capturing the slaves they sold to the white slave traders.
Women would not have to be beaten and wear the hijab or burka. Honor killings would stop. Muslims could join us in the human race.
But all of those wonderful thoughts vanish when you realize what else it would mean to Islam. Mohammed had only 150 followers in Mecca after preaching the religion for 13 years. But when he went to Medina and became a politician and warlord, he conquered all of Arabia in 9 years by averaging a violent event every 6 weeks.
Duality and political submission were the principles that gave Islam its victory. Why would Islam drop the only principles that yielded success? Duality and political submission have crushed the world that believes in the Golden Rule.
CSPI could produce a Koran, Sira and Hadith that would use the Golden Rule. It would be a thin volume, but what Muslim would buy it?

Leila Ahmed argues that "… the theme of the "oppression of women in Islam" – always in quotation marks – serves an ideology, and that that ideology is imperialism. Criticisms from such feminists as Azar Nafisi, Irshad Manji and Ayaan Hirsi Ali are a "rearticulation in native voice of the imperialist theses about the inferiority of Islam", she believes."
What she is doing is piggy backing on the use of the word imperialism – in one fell swoop she makes common ground with the anti-imperialist Left.
The Left has only one understanding for the word "imperialism" – it is only meant in the sense of alleged "western" imperialism.
The Islamic imperialism or the past Soviet imperialism or for that matter the emerging Chinese and Indian imperialism are not included.
Having said this China, India and Russia are our essential allies if we are to stop Islamic Global Jihad.
The cancerous cells of Islamic Global Jihad have not yet sufficiently penetrated China, Russia contains them in its sheer resilience, and India lives with them.
The West is the most vulnerable with soft jihadists using the historically exceptional civil freedoms that the West has brought to the Planet to advance their cause.
The absence of the Golden Rule in Islam is a key differentiator between this religion and other religions.
On the mark!
With Qatar having won the 2022 soccer World Cup millions of kafir fans could be flocking there.
Hopefully they will not.
Many are bound to expose themselves to the harsh rules of Islamic "justice".
They will tragically feel first hand the absence of the Golden Rule.
Westerners should stay away … Europe and the Americas have won enough World Cups for it to not matter if they forego this one.
Why support an event run by religious supremacists who believe they have a god given right to subjugate those who are not of their religion?
Towards Global Jihad, the hosting of the World Cup is yet another milestone, and of course Qatar would have been the one with its preposterous Al Jazeera TV.
(Again, one must grudgingly admire Qatar's takiyya and their deception of the world, not least by Al Jazeera. It is like God … for those who believe He exists … having one of the Chief Devils in Hell preaching about love and compassion!)

Walter Sieruk 7:57 AM
On Bastille Day in Nice France there was another jihadist/Muslim terror attack. This jihad attack, like the others, was vicious, malicious and murderous. At first that jihadist opened fired into a group of people and then he plowed into and through, with a large truck, a crowd of people. In that deadly Islamic terror attack in Nice it was so awful and hideous that one witness, just after that Islamic terror attack, described the scene as "bodies everywhere." Another wittiness said "I was standing in blood, It' everywhere." This Islamic jihadist attack in Nice resulted in 84 murdered and dozens injured. This violent and heinous murderous action of Islamic violence is based on the violence and killing that is part of the doctrines of the Koran, as some call Islam's "holy book" the Qur'an . To give only a few of many example of this from the Koran is Sura 2:191 which instructs "Kill the disbelievers wherever you fine them." Likewise, the Koran also teaches "Whenever you encounter the unbeliever's strike of their heads, until you make a great slaughter among them…" Sura 47:4. Let's face it , using a firearm and a truck can sure make a greater "slaughter among them" then a sword can . In addition, that jihad –minded Muslim also died in the brutal and deadly Islamic attack. This too is Koranic based. For the Koran instructs "The believers fight in Allah's Cause, they slay and are slain, they kill and are killed." Sura 9:111. So it's not wise to be taken in as in fool as or snowed , by the many apologists for Islam who make the false claim that "Islam is a peaceful religion that was hijacked by criminal for politics" That is a lame attempt to hide as in cover up the violent and deadly essence of that religion which is Islam.
Walter Sieruk 11:09 AM
That Bastille Day jihad attack in Nice, France is Koranic based, as seen in for example in Sura 4:89. 5:33. 9:5, 111,123. 47:4. As most everyone knows the Koran, or as some call it the Quran , is the whole foundation of and for Islam. So it may be illustrated that of Islam is represented as a tree then the fruits then the fruits of that tree are the many brutal, violent and deadly jihad terror entities. Such as ISIS, Al Qaeda, Boko Haram, al Shabaab , Hamas, Hezbollah, P.I.J. etc. With this statement, the Wisdom of the teachings of Jesus may, very much, apply to this subject. For Jesus taught "Ye do know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit." After saying this Jesus told them what He told them when He said "By their fruit ye shall know them." Matthew 7:16, 17, 18,.20. [K.J.V.] In conclusion, Islam is a corrupt tree and also a false religion, Proverbs 14:12. John 14:6. First John 2:22,23. 4:14,15. 5:12,13,20.

Someone emailed this comment:
Why is Islam even considered a religion?? It's the only 'religion' on earth that kills in the name of it's god. A 'golden rule' for Islam will produce nothing ... as you say "It would be a thin volume, but what Muslim would buy it?".
Human kind's existence depends on eliminating Islam from the face of the earth. And I don't mean killing every Moslem, I mean getting it declared a 'cult' and not a religion. And that will be no small feat. There would be civil unrest among Muslims, if not an outright war. But we're heading for war anyway and so lets start it off by the worldwide declaration that Islam in NOT a religion.
The would lose their tax-exempt status, at least in the USA if not other parts of the world. It would hurt them financially and having them declared a 'cult' worldwide would reduce the Islam threat, not initially, but the end result would be a much kinder world. The world can't live with Islam, and they say we can't live (literally) without Islam. There is no compromise so I agree with Islam; one has to go. Agreed, this would open the door to the legitimacy of any religion, but Islam is so different from any other religion on earth that it would not be hard to define the differences ... mainly the evil of Islam.
Again I ask, Why is Islam a religion in the first place. Because of one old sadistic sick man who took notes, copied parts of the Christian Bible, and just flat made stuff up. All stirred into the pot of time ... and out pops a religion.
The elimination of the 'religion' status of Islam seems to be the best solution, maybe not in the short term, but in the long term for all of humanity. Islam is a 'cult' is there ever was one.
There are already denials that the Bastille Day jihadist with his murderous terrorism was really a Muslim. This denials are based on the grounds that he has engaged in un-Islamic activities. For example, he ate pork and drank alcohol. This is the same line of reasoning which denied that the Muslim terrorists shooter and mass murderer of Orlando was a real Muslim because it was said that he might have had "homosexual tendencies." Likewise, some people have even said that the 9/11 hijackers were not actual Muslims because two of them, maybe, attended a strip joint during the night of September 10, 2001. All such claims aren't taking into account that according to Islam if a jihad –minded Muslim dies in a jihad suicide/homicide attack, which they call a "martyrdom operation," then all his sins are wiped clean and he will then enter into paradise. These meaning all his sins, whatever those sins are. Including the eating of pork, or the drinking of alcohol, homosexual tendencies or spending time in a strip joint. In conclusion, that jihadist terrorist mass murder at the city in Nice France on July 14 was a real Muslim terrorist.
Ever wonder why the children of Muslim migrants are drawn to terrorism while their parents are not? Consider this: those who migrate are entitled to the same rewards - sins wiped clean and admission into paradise - as Jihadist martyrs. The second generation wants an easy way to paradise too.
your idea of exposing muslim is a bad idea. in islam if you doubted it or even no longer want to embrace it, you will be killed as a death punishment
you only bring chaos. do you want to see more and more peole die? because even if people finally figure out the truth, and now what?
there is nothing they can do. nobody wants to die. FYI, no one wants to die, so even if you Have convince them: there would nothing happend. they would be too scared to do anything against islam.

Talk About About Islam Among Non-Muslims
Some people say Islam is a religion of peace and that Islam has been hijacked by extremists, terrorists, and stealth jihadists who twist and distort the peaceful teachings of the Quran and quote it out of context.
Others say that political, supremacist, and even violent teachings are fundamental to Islam, and that people who say otherwise either haven't read the Quran or are protecting Islam with religious deception (taqiyya).
The general confusion about the nature of Islam makes us collectively unable to make informed decisions. You can help end this confusion by reading the Quran. Stop believing what other people say and find out for yourself.
Take the Pledge: Read the Quran. Then convince everyone you know to read it too.

One of the most unusual articles on CitizenWarrior.com is Pleasantville and Islamic Supremacism.
It illustrates the Islamic Supremacist vision by showing the similarity between what happened in the movie, Pleasantville, and what devout fundamentalist Muslims are trying to create in Islamic states like Syria, Pakistan, or Saudi Arabia (and ultimately everywhere in the world).

Watertown house fire burned though two stories; no occupants injured
by: Megan Hatch
WATERTOWN, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — A fire broke out in Watertown on December 29 at approximately 12:01 a.m. in a residential home on 524 Frontenac Street in Watertown, no occupants were injured.
The Watertown Fire Department's Engine 3 responded to the fire and found the 2-story home on fire on both floors, with fire venting out the second-floor window.
As the heavy fire was found throughout most of the first and second floors, two handlines were placed into service to extinguish the fire. Companies including Engine 3, Engine 1, Engine 2, Truck 1, Rescue and Chief 3 all responded.
The Watertown Police Department, GEMS, Fort Drum Fire Department, National Grid and City Code Department all assisted at the scene. The Black River Fire Department also provided a ladder company to standby in Watertown Station 1 to cover the city for any additional fire calls.
Even though the house fire was strong, the house sustained severe fire, smoke and water damage. The cause of the fire is currently under investigation by the City of Watertown Fire Investigations.

Indeed, SEA can help to ensure that plans and programmes take full account of climate issues within a clear, systematic process.
The Protocol on SEA requires the developers of plans and programmes to assess the likely effects of their plans and programmes on "the environment, including … climate … and the interaction among these factors" (Art. 2, para. 7, of the Protocol). The likely significant effects to be described in the environmental report should include secondary and cumulative effects (footnote to item 6 of annex IV of the Protocol). Climate change is a cumulative effect: it is caused by the build up of many actions, each of which only has a limited contribution, but which together cause serious effects.
The Protocol requires development of measures to prevent, reduce or mitigate adverse effects (item 7 of annex IV of the Protocol). Adaptation measures are unusual in that they require consideration of how climate changes are likely to impact on plans and programmes.

Prioritization of Highway Maintenance Functions Using Multi-Attribute Decision Making with Fuzzy Pairwise Comparison
Wenxing Liu and Zhanmin Zhang, University of Texas at Austin, September 2011, 69 pp. (161128-1)
As is the case for most of the Departments of Transportation in the U.S., the Texas Department of Transportation has been experiencing fluctuations of budget for maintaining and preserving its highway infrastructure over the recent years. If the maintenance budget shortfall lasts for an extended period of time, the condition of the highway network would be harmed directly or indirectly since some maintenance work would be deferred or cancelled. Thus, in order to control and minimize the risk caused by maintenance budget reductions, it is important for highway agencies to adjust their maintenance and rehabilitation policies to accommodate budget fluctuations. This report presents a methodological framework that helps highway agencies quantify the risks to highway networks, and revise the highway routine maintenance work plans to minimize the impact of budget fluctuations. The proposed methodology aims to assist highway agencies in prioritizing and selecting maintenance functions according to the risk of not performing a specific maintenance activity. Also, this methodology considers the subjective nature of decision makers' assessments, allowing different levels of confidence and different attitudes toward risk to be captured as the uncertainty and imprecision involved in the decision making process. In the case study, the proposed methodology is tested with a set of data obtained from the Texas Department of Transportation. The result is compared with the outcome obtained from the crisp Analytical Hierarchy Process using the same set of data. The outcomes from the two methodologies are very close, validating the effectiveness of prioritizing highway maintenance functions using Multi-Attribute Analysis with Fuzzy Pairwise Comparison.

Modern Love – David Bowie
Update: 12/01/16. Sad news about Mr Bowie. I've given this a bit of an edit, but have resisted the temptation to soften it much. More a case of fleshing out things I just moved over in passing and would have explained more fully if I hadn't knocked this piece out in an hour on a Sunday night.
As a younger man, I had little time for David Bowie. As most music fans do, I derived a certain philosophy from the music I liked. I saw common attitudes and threads in the people who made it. Now, the musicians I admired were, almost without exception, unglamorous people, people for whom street clothes and stage clothes were the same thing. As a determinedly non-glamorous person myself, this seemed to me to be positively a virtue (signifying authenticity, sincerity and all that jazz), and it hardened into a dogma. A musician who was conspicuously concerned with visuals – to the point that they wore costumes rather than mere clothes, foregrounding the theatrical and performative nature of what they did – was not only inauthentic, but had to be less concerned with the music than they should be, man. (Yeah, I was a humourless little choad.) So David Bowie, a man who early on had built his career out of costumes and personas and haircuts and pseudonyms, was anathema. Didn't get it, didn't get what other people got from it.
On a musical level, too, I wasn't hugely impressed. The big hits of his early years still sound a bit messy, underpowered and half-baked to me, even when I admire the songs (and the harmonic and melodic accomplishment of songs like Life on Mars or Space Oddity are undeniable). The Spiders from Mars, a pub band from Hull, sound pretty much exactly like a pub band from Hull. Even the Aynsley Dunbar/Herbie Flowers rhythm section from Diamond Dogs sounds weedy next to Dennis Davis and George Murray, the magisterial duo who worked with Bowie on Station to Station, Low and 'Heroes'.
Hearing the second side of Low (particularly Subterraneans) at university opened me up to the idea that Bowie's music could also be overpoweringly moving, as well as embarassingly am-dram. But the tipping point came a few years later, and hearing Sound and Vision on the radio. I didn't recognise it (when I was played Low by my college friend Calum, he didn't play me side 1), and was completely caught up in the intro groove. And then the vocal came in and, oh god, is this David Bowie? This was funky. It was soulful. If this was Bowie music, sign me up.
Since then I've heard pretty much his whole catalogue, while reading Chris O'Leary's wonderful Bowie blog. I'm still on the fence about much of the early stuff, but equally I'm more into his work from the mid-1980s onwards than many, and I've developed a huge fondness not just for the Berlin trilogy but for Young Americans and Let's Dance as well. A lot of fans of his 1970s work get off the bus after Scary Monsters. Marcello Carlin, whose blog is consistently the best music criticism on the internet, is scathing about the album:
Let's Dance, the album, is a disgrace, one of the laziest and most contemptuous records ever released by a major rock performer. Its eight songs whizz by in an uninteresting and uninvolving blur and commit to nothing except Bowie's need to be David Bowie for another year.
I don't agree, though his take-down of the record is brutally hilarious (particularly his characterisation of 1983-era Bowie as the Beckenham Young Businessman of the Year). The thing is, I don't think Bowie has it in him to be lazy. Nor Nile Rogers, for that matter. And Let's Dance is David Bowie and Nile Rogers and Tony Thompson and Rob Sabino (Chic's drummer and pianist, respectively) and Omar Hakim and Carmine Rojas and Stevie Ray Vaughan and Bob Clearmountain. With that much talent in the room, killer moments are inevitable. It's true that they're mostly crammed into the first three songs (it's hard to think of a record before the 1990s so front-loaded as Let's Dance), and that the first track is the best. But those songs are hard to deny, and while some have heard them as clinical and calculating, I hear them as Bowie having fun with the same sort of R&B derived music he'd played early in his career with a succession of Mod bands.
Modern Love is the hardest to deny. It's "a Bowie cultural doom-piece like Five Years recast as a boogie, nihilism in the high key of Little Richard," as O'Leary called it astutely. The rough edges of the lyric (modern love, traditional marriage, religion and humanism are all tried by the singer, and all found wanting) are smoothed over by Thompson's all-time-great drum track, Sabino's piano and Rogers's guitar. Those backing vocals, meanwhile… Carlin called them "the stupidest backing vocals in pop since Sam Cooke's Wonderful World"; O'Leary was also not a fan of them in the wider context of the album ("like a demented glee club"), but, again, I think he's on the money when he describes how they work as "audience surrogates, chanting back whatever words Bowie feeds them, being driven along before him".
Lacking the iconic hooks of either Let's Dance (the Twist and Shout build-up; those heavily echoed guitar-and-horn stabs) or China Girl (the Chopsticks guitar riff), Modern Love is nevertheless the most substantial single from Let's Dance, and gives me exactly what I want from a David Bowie song and what he specialised in between 1975 and 1983: a hugely intelligent lyric coupled with a fantastic groove.
"I saw the footage of Bowie in Singapore. And I suddenly thought, he's turned into a rock'n'roll version of Prince Charles. In a suit, with an old-fashioned haircut like a lemon meringue on his head, talking in this posh accent" – Charles Shaar Murray on Let's Dance-era Bowie

Energy efficiency and efficient use of energy is currently on the agenda for many individuals, companies, researchers and official bodies. Wether the reason being cost saving, environmental concerns, a general interest for applying technology or just a general awareness not to spend more than what really is necessary, we, at energyfaculty believe that it is a good practice to take into use available technologies to enable more efficient energy expenditure.
One applicable technology that may contribute to increased energy efficiency is heat pump technology, used for space heating. Heat pumps have for a long time been used for cooling, in devices like; refrigerators, freezers and air-conditioners. Over the last couple of decades the heat pump technology has been further developed and we now can see that heat pumps are more often used for heating purposes.
Even if aquiring a heat pump means a substantial investment compared to traditional electrical heaters or furnaces, it will in most cases, due to it's favourable power utilisation and energy efficiency be a beneficial investment over time.
A heat pump used for heating is rather unique in that it delivers more thermal power than the electrical power consumed. Up to 4 to 5 times the power consumed, under good conditions.
The heat pump, as most technical devices has it's limitations, one of them being that when the heat pump is used for heating, the efficiency of the heat pump will be significantly reduced at low temperatures. How much and at what temperatures is depending on the design and the energy efficiency profile for the heat pump. This being a serious concern for many potential heat pump users, since it is when it is cold outside we need heating the most.
Even if there is a rapid growth in the use of heat pumps, this limitation in combination with the acquisition cost is probably the main reason that heat pumps are not yet used more than they already are.

Okay, so July first might have been a touch overzealous as a launch date. I knew that when I said it. It might have been doable if it was just me doing the reading, but since it's become a full cast recording, it was inevitable that the schedules of others would not allow for such a close deadline. Right now, the summer con season has artist Cheyenne Wright caught up in commissions, not to mention actual travel, so recording for his lines will not be able to start until the week of July 1st. And since his part is so integral to the story, we are setting the schedule around him. With luck, we can still launch in July, but I'd rather do it right and later than crappy and quickly.
And, all this is fine, as it turns out I'm actually going out of town for a few weeks myself. Hopefully by the time I get back I'l have lots of audio and promo stuff to work on.
So that is how it stands. Things are starting to come together and I am very happy with the progress.

Q: Centos web server, 123-reg domaina nd DynDNS standard - cannot access site from domain, only IP How to configure a 123-reg domain with DynDNS and a linux server?
Hi,
I've just set up a CentOS web server running lamp, purchased a domain from 123-reg and have signed up for DynDNS standard.
I'm really confused how I get the domain to link in with Dyn.
The client updater is working fine and I can access the website from the public IP, but whenever I go to the domain it just tells me it's a 123-reg domain.
Does anyone know how I can resolve this?
Btw, I'm running a dynamic IP

A: You need to transfer the domain to DynDNS. Right now, it is probably pointing to 123-reg's NS servers.
DynDNS' Support Site will have all the information you need: http://dyn.com/support/how-do-i-transfer-my-domain/
If you are setting up a business from home, you might want to contact your ISP regarding a static public IP

In Roman mythology wolves are mainly associated to Mars, god of war and agriculture. The Capitoline Wolf nurses Romulus and Remus, sons of Mars and future founders of Rome. The twin babies were ordered to be killed by their great uncle Amulius. The servant ordered to kill them, however, relented and placed the two on the banks of the Tiber river. The river, which was in flood, rose and gently carried the cradle and the twins downstream, where under the protection of the river deity Tiberinus, they would be adopted by a she-wolf known as Lupa in Latin, an animal sacred to Mars. As a consequence, the Italian wolf is the national animal of the modern Italian Republic.
In Antiquity, the she-wolf was identified as a symbol of Rome by both the Romans themselves and nations under the Roman rule. The Lupa Romana was an iconic scene that represented in the first place the idea of romanitas, being Roman. When it was used in the Roman Provinces, it can be seen as an expression of loyalty to Rome and the emperor.[26]
The treatment given to wolves differed from the treatment meted out to other large predators. The Romans generally seem to have refrained from intentionally harming wolves. For instance, they were not hunted for pleasure (but only in order to protect herds that were out at pasture), and not displayed in the venationes, either. The special status of the wolf was not based on national ideology, but rather was connected to the religious importance of the wolf to the Romans.[27]
The comedian Plautus used the image of wolves to ponder the cruelty of man as a wolf unto man.
"Lupus" (Wolf) was used as a Latin first name and as a Roman cognomen.

Uranus smbol is H tag Hammer The hammer and sickle (Unicode: "☭") is a symbol of proletarian solidarity[citation needed] that was first adopted – as Russian: серп и мо́лот, translit. serp i mólot: "sickle and hammer" – during the Russian Revolution. At the time of its creation, the hammer stood for the proletariat and the sickle for the peasantry—combined they stood for the worker-peasant alliance for socialism. The sickle symbol resembles a sickle used to harvest grain crops and the hammer is one that would be used to make a razor sharp edge on a sickle or scythe.
After World War I (from which Russia withdrew in the year 1917) and the Russian Civil War, the hammer and sickle became more widely used as a symbol for peaceful labor within the Soviet Union and for international proletarian unity. It was taken up by many communist movements around the world, some with local variations. Today, even after the dissolution of the Soviet Union, the hammer and sickle remains commonplace in Russia and other former union republics, but its display is prohibited in some other former communist countries as well as in countries where communism is banned by law.

When screening a movie, there are several factors to consider. First, does this film play by its own rules? Second, is it enjoyable? Third, is there anything new in it—a story idea, a casting choice, a director's vision, a visual design? Fourth, if screening with an audience, how does it react? Fifth, does any of that matter?
If the movie is, say, Transformers: Marky Mark Arrives, the answers are no, no, no, poorly and yes. A truly crap film and crap viewing experience.
If the movie is Avengers: Age of Ultron, the answers are sort of, yes, sort of, like a bunch of overcaffeinated children and not really. This is a movie where the audience goes nuts when the Marvel logo pops up on screen (ugh—the thing hasn't started yet, people), so objectivity is a mixed bag.
But there is something magical about the Marvel movies that is lacking in many dumb, big-budget action extravaganzas. Compared to Transformers: And the Funky Bunch, with its lead-paced screenwriting, direction and editing; incomprehensible production design; and stupid plot decisions (you're going to kill off TJ Miller in the first 30 minutes and let Mark Wahlberg live? OK!), the Marvel movies are gold, Jerry! Even the underbaked Thor series and first crummy Captain America are better than most of the pap out there.
Age of Ultron does what the smarter Marvel movies do: It drops the audience into the action at the top, gets them locked in to thrills and chills, and then worries about the story later. When we catch up with the gang (Iron Man, Captain America, Thor, Black Widow, Hulk and whatever Jeremy Renner is), they're storming a fictional eastern European country, looking for a scepter they need to grab, hold and then remove from the planet in a few days. Why a few days? So that bad stuff can happen in the interim for them to fix, of course.
Iron Man/Tony Stark (Robert Downey, Jr.) and Hulk/Dr. Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) get the idea to make artificial intelligence out of the scepter, and boom—before you know it, there's a living computer called Ultron (played hammily by James Spader) trying to destroy the planet in order to save it—whatever that means.
Oh, wait! It means lots of things blow up! Ho, ho! I haven't had this much fun with things blowing up since Furious 7. There are some creaks in Ultron's momentum: Downey seems like he's at the end of his Avengers rope, though he does have the movie's best jokes (describing a day as being "Eugene O'Neill-long," for example), and Renner gets a family that exists only in stansd-by-your-man world.
On the bright side, there's a budding, sweet romance between Hulk and Black Widow/Natasha (Scarlett Johansson), Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is finally put to good use and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) delivers the goods (she's accompanied by her twin, Quicksilver, but he's played by Aaron Taylor-Johnson, who's as forgettable here as he is in every other movie in which he appears). The action is easier to follow than in the first Avengers film, and Ultron takes the unusual step of saving extras' lives instead of pounding them into sand. Plus, Ultron doesn't outstay its welcome. It's fun all around.

Q: Why is slice returning an empty array? I have a set of booleans.
const [locks, setLock] = useState([false, false, false, false]);

Goal: I am trying to change a value based on the index by slicing the old lock array.
Issue: If the value is 1, the last part of the array (locks.slice(value + 1)) is returning as empty.
Shouldn't slice returns the selected elements in an array, as a new array object, so it's not like the locks array is getting changed?
function handleLock(event) {
      const {value} = event.currentTarget;
      const oldLock = locks[value]
      console.log(oldLock)
      const newLocks =  locks.slice(0, value).concat([!oldLock]).concat(locks.slice(value + 1));
      setLock(newLocks)
  }

Broken Down
function handleLock(event) {
      const {value} = event.currentTarget;
      const oldLock = locks[value]
      console.log(oldLock)
      const locks1 = locks.slice(0, value)
      const locks2 = locks.slice(value+1)
      console.log(locks2)
      const newLocks =  locks1.concat([!oldLock]).concat(locks2);
      setLock(newLocks)
  }

Question: What is causing this issue and how do I solve it?

A: My guess would be, event.target.value might be returning a string instead of a number. This would cause the sliced value to be an empty array because adding a string to number results in concatenation, not addition.
Try using const value = parseInt(event.target.value, 10);
A suggestion would be to use spread syntax to duplicate the array then assign the value. This should make the code more readable and simpler
const newLocks = [...oldLocks];
newLocks[value] = !newLocks[value];
setLock(newLocks);

3 Weak Ones Each of our toefl essay templates above has three body paragraphs and three main points. In our example question, the main point of the lecture is: American companies will eventually certify their wood. Youre also learning the grammar and vocabulary in the videos. The article establishes that American firms sell most of their products domestically, and their customers are happy with their merchandise as. Thus, its far better to write an essay with two strong points than three weak ones. Question: Summarize the points made in the lecture, being sure to explain how they oppose specific points made in the reading passage. Once again, try to vary your transitions and words here so that your body paragraphs do not sound redundant. I know what Im talking about here, and I wont guide you down the wrong path.

There is one caveat, though: do not use a single transition more than once in your response. Do it just like this: However, it is important to note that in addition to noting the points and counter-points, you need to get some of the supporting details that are mentioned with them. It is the complete opposite of the main idea from the reading! And the errors caused by these defective programs may be far more serious. If there are unfamiliar words in the prompt, use context to guess their meanings. She elaborates on this by mentioning that certified products will only be about five percent more expensive, which will not affect the purchasing decisions of buyers. Finally, a level-1 essay offers minimal coherency and fails to address any of the main points in the lecture.


Tip #1. If you are a landlord you should consider the services of an independent inventory clerk, that offers high-quality reports. Many times letting agents will recommend landlords to choose a cheap inventory services company, however, like always, you get what you pay for, poor images that aren't relevant, incomplete descriptions that won't make clear the condition.
Inventory companies play a crucial role in the outcome of a tenancy agreement. A home inventory will protect both the landlord and the tenant from the potential dispute at the end of their collaboration.
We conduct Check-In reports, which is the inventory previously done a list of conditions presented to the new tenant, changes are still possible at this stage, and at the end of the inspection the tenant will sign for acknowledgment and accept responsibility.
Tip #3. When the tenancy ends we conduct the Check-out, to see if there are changes in the conditions of the fixtures, appliances and generally the property.

Trump's Coronavirus Bungling Could Be His Own Undoing
Janet Ybarra 5 February 28, 2020 11:31 am
This article has moderate left bias with a bias score of -55.28 from our political bias detecting A.I.
This is an opinion article. As such, the content below expresses the viewpoint of the author, not our site as a whole.
Sometimes we're reminded why Donald Trump is evil.
And other times we are reminded why he is deeply incompetent.
When it comes to the response that he and his administration have mounted to the covid 19 coronavirus outbreak worldwide, and particularly here in the United States, you could say that it's been a little bit of both–but really more the latter than the former.
The federal government's best health professionals came out to brief the American people on the facts and the truth that they need to know about the outbreak of the pandemic here, only for Trump to contradict them, over and over--dishonestly.
Trump said the current number of covid 19 cases in the United States is "going very substantially down, not up." But the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said to expect more cases and has warned that it is highly unlikely that the virus will not spread to some degree within the nation.
The president said that the United States is "rapidly developing a vaccine" for the disease, and "will essentially have a flu shot for this in a fairly quick manner."
That's misleading. The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said a vaccine at best won't be ready for "a year to a year-and-a-half" and won't be available for the current epidemic.
These are but two examples of the falsehoods coming from Trump and his administration at a time when facts and truth are more important than ever.
And then you have that Trump put Vice President Pence in charge of the federal covid 19 response.
Not only does that choice raise questions due to the questionable way Pence handled an AIDS/HIV in Indiana when he was governor, but the fact that reportedly federal health experts have to pre-clear any statements to the public through him first.
Honestly, it should be the other way around. Pence has no expertise to clear their statements. The only reason he would do for would be for purposes of political spin and public relations–which ought to be the administration's last consideration at this time.
Moreover, at a time when Trump and his administration ought to be projecting an image of "all hands on deck," they are doing anything but.
Rather than be hard at work with the coronavirus task force, Pence was busy cavorting with conservatives and giving a speech at the annual CPAC convention outside Washington DC.
Pence still couldn't be bothered to get to work on this national crisis for which he's been given primary responsibility. He found time to fly to Florida for a partisan fundraiser.
Between the dishonesty and the resultant confusing statements coming out of the government as a result–and the image that the government's senior management isn't prioritizing covid 19 as Job No. 1 given the galavanting off on unrelated, partisan matters–should it be little wonder that the stock market is circling the drain and the economy is on the precipice?
If Trump had been smart, he and his political team would have realized that the coronavirus doesn't distinguish between Democrats and Republicans, and infects equally.
Therefore, they would have just turned the whole response over to the health experts and moved on to other matters.
But, of course, it's Trump and he congenitally is incapable of either shutting up or telling the truth.
The irony now is that despite what he says, the outbreak could continue for six months or more.
And if the American people spend these next months worrying about the dual evils of infection and a crashing economy, Trump won't have anyone to blame but himself.
The truth is that the American people are finding that in a real crisis which can really hurt them, Trump is incapable of providing any real help or leadership.
And they will take that with them into the voting booth come Election Day.

Jason March 1, 2020
Another retarted liberal talking bias when ignoring the opening sentence of the clearly "Unbiased" article: "Sometimes we're reminded why Donald Trump is evil"
Wow. Objective journalism at its finest. The author is probably a 20 year old Berkeley student whose never worked a day in their pathetic, elite-coddled pampered life, and only thinks of evil as someone they disagree with instead of the actually fulfillment of the word in a human. I.e. Mao Zedong and the 45 million Chinese people who died because of the Great Leap Forward. You are an idiot and a parrot who hasn't learned to think critically. Read history and don't be a plebeian.

No where does the article claim to be "unbiased".
In fact, if you bothered to even actually look at the article, it says it's left biased.

CPS Energy's board has voted to donate a building and the 3.5 acres of land on which it sits to the San Antonio Museum of Art, a spokeswoman said Tuesday.
CPS' property at 326 W. Jones Ave. lies just west of the museum at 200 W. Jones Ave. The 82,902-square-foot operations building to be turned over to the museum now is occupied by about 60 CPS employees who will be moved to other locations.
City-owned CPS is making the donation to the museum because "we want to contribute to the city's cultural and economic assets and the business development that's going on in that area," spokeswoman Yvonne Casanova said.
The land and building likely won't be conveyed to the museum until the end of 2016 when the relocation of the employees is completed, she said.
CPS also owns about 3.5 acres behind that lot and along the San Antonio River that will be sold as part of a competitive bidding process. There's no date set now for putting the land on the auction block, Casanova said.
The museum "can use every square inch" of the CPS structure when it's turned over, she said. The museum will consolidate its administrative positions in the building. It also will use some of the space for classrooms.

March 3, 2017 2016-17, ACC, Basketball.
If you're a Miami basketball fan and disappointed to see the 20-9 Hurricanes rating only about a No. 7 or 8 seed in most of the Bracketology projections out there, just settle down and let it all play out.
There's a game at Florida State on Saturday night and then the ACC tournament to reset the picture. Remember that Syracuse made it all the way to the Final Four last year as one of the last of eight ACC teams to get into the NCAA field, and the Orange started out with a No. 10 seed.
Jim Larranaga has built quite a reputation on a couple of Sweet 16 appearances at Miami and a shocking Final Four run with George Mason. He'll get the benefit of every doubt from the bracket-builders based on that history, and on wins over Duke, Virginia and North Carolina this year.
Long-time Miami followers will remember when it was lot tougher than this to get a little national boost.
Rick Barry, February, 1964. Miami News photo.
The Hurricanes went 23-5 in the 1962-63 season and didn't even make the NCAA tournament. There were only 25 teams in the field back then and Miami, an independent, didn't rate one of those spots. Never mind that the Hurricanes upset Duke 71-69 at the Miami Beach Convention Center in December. It just wasn't happening.
What Miami got instead was an invitation to the NIT, and that's where the program got its first-ever postseason victory. Miami beat St. Francis 71-70 at Madison Square Garden in New York but lost the next night to Providence, the eventual tournament champion.
It was even tougher to take what happened in 1965. Rick Barry led the nation in scoring with an average of 37.4 points per game and the Hurricanes went 22-4 but they weren't eligible for the NCAA tournament because of NCAA recruiting violations.
Barry scored 50 or more points six times in that senior season and also averaged 18.3 rebounds per game. That put him at the top of a sensational consensus All-America lineup that also included bill Bradley, Gail Goodrich, Cazzie Russell and a high-scoring big man from Davidson named Fred Hetzel. Barry, Bradley and Goodrich went on to be inducted in the Naismith Basketball Hall of Fame, and Hetzel was the No. 1 overall pick in the 1965 draft by the San Francisco Warriors.
As a strong competitor in the ACC, Miami won't get overlooked like that again.
Overall, it was a long road to achieving the level of recognition that our top state schools have now in basketball, and the Hurricanes got there first.
Miami's initial appearance in the NCAA tournament was in 1960, followed by FSU in 1968, Jacksonville in 1970, Florida in 1987, South Florida in 1990, Florida Gulf Coast in 2013 and North Florida in 2015.

GILTI Rules for Americans in Canada: The Basics
The recently passed U.S Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TJCA) makes it more complicated for American citizens living in Canada to run businesses. One of the new complex tax regimes to consider is the GILTI rules.
What is GILTI?
GILTI is the acronym for Global Intangible Low-Taxed Income. GILTI rules were put into place so that American citizens do not try to shift profits to foreign subsidiaries in low-tax countries, since those foreign profits can be repatriated tax-free. While these rules were primarily put in place with Apple and Google in mind, they make it harder for U.S. citizens in Canada to use Canadian corporations to defer income from personal tax.
Under the GILTI rules, profit earned through a Controlled Foreign Corporation (CFC) owned by a U.S. citizen must be classified as GILTI or not. Profits are considered GILTI if they exceed a 10% return on depreciable tangible assets (e.g. equipment, hardware) owned by the corporation.
The issue is that professional corporations generally do not need lot of tangible property to run their business. For instance, an incorporated doctor who is a Canadian-resident U.S. citizen may only own computers and basic medical equipment. However, the profits of the doctor's corporation will be deemed GILTI income to the extent they exceed 10% of the corporation's investment in those tangible assets.
If income is considered GILTI, it will be taxed to the U.S. citizen personally, even if the profits remain inside the corporation and are not distributed to the U.S. Also, the ability to offset the GILTI inclusion with Canadian tax paid is limited. As a result, U.S. citizens who perform services through Canadian corporations may lose the ability to defer income from personal tax.
Section 962 Election
If you are impacted by the GILTI regime, there may be some relief by virtue of filing a Section 962 Election in the US. A 962 election is designed to ensure an individual taxpayer is not subject to a higher rate of tax on the earnings of a directly-owned foreign corporation than if he or she had owned it through a United States corporation. The election may be made on an annual basis with respect to all controlled foreign corporations in which an individual is a United States shareholder, including those owned through a pass-through entity. Individuals who make a section 962 election are taxed as if there was an imaginary domestic corporation interposed between them and a foreign corporation that creates GILTI. The section 962 election may be a valuable tool in softening or deferring the double-tax blow of being a U.S. shareholder of Canadian business – but careful consideration should be used before making the election. Depending on the specific circumstances, using section 962 could result in an individual paying a greater effective rate of tax on their foreign earnings once they have been repatriated to the US.

Comedian Fran Middleton has welcomed a State Government grant to support emerging female comedians, saying she hoped it will lead to more women becoming successful comics.
Performing her Fran Solo show at this year's Melbourne International Comedy Festival, Ms Middleton said female participation in stand up comedy sorely needed a boost.
"If the audience sees only one woman doing comedy ever, then your view will be limited to what that one woman did," Ms Middleton said.
"If the audience sees heaps of women in comedy, then (they will) see more variety in their content, styles and abilities," she said.
The grant named Stand Up! will help cover the costs of preparing a show for the Melbourne International Comedy Festival.
Creative Industry Minister Martin Foley said the program was dedicated to comedian Eurydice Dixon.
A grant named in honour of murdered comedian Eurydice Dixon promises to help other women onto the stage.
The 22 year-old was raped and murdered in a Carlton North park as she walked home after performing at the Highlander Club in June last year.
"Eurydice Dixon was a young and talented emerging comedian," Mr Foley said.
"Those that knew her remember her as brilliant, brave and unafraid to delve into challenging material," he said.
"Stand Up! is an initiative that honours funny women who are serious about their comedy careers and using their voice, and talent, to create social change."
In 1997 female comics made up just five per cent of acts at the international festival. That number increased to 22 per cent last year.
Emily Tresidder, a stand up comic returning to the festival for the third time, said opportunities for women have increased.
"I think the more women who get into comedy and stay, mean there are more and more (women) willing to dive in," Ms Tresidder said.
Comedians Annie Louey, Alex Ward, and duo Urvi Majumdar and Carla Wills are the inaugural recipients of the comedy scholarship.
The Melbourne International Comedy runs until April 21.

Out there for a model new, shiny, sensible TV? After spending eighty hours testing new fashions for 2017 and conducting some preliminary checks in 2018, we think the TCL 6-Collection —accessible in both a 55-inch and 65-inch display screen—is the perfect worth we've ever seen in a TV series. With a slight drop in price since it was first launched, the Samsung KS7000 is considered one of many benchmark 4K units for high quality and now is available in at a justifiable price tag of just £749.
There will in fact be new 4K TVs next 12 months with even cooler" specs however you actually do not have to exchange your TV any time some new technology pops onto the market if you happen to're pleased with what you've purchased. Insignia TVs are value-oriented units that are priced beneath equally featured TVs from the main brands. Go for Samsung LED HDTV and be a future chief. The brand new LED TVs of Samsung have a tremendous and stunning picture high quality.
In the meanwhile, Samsung has plentiful 4K units on provide. The latest batch of TVs now support Freeview Plus, bringing in a spread of catch-up TELEVISION apps corresponding to iView to let you watch what you need, once you want. If you happen to're seeking to purchase a 4K screen within the here and new, here are our recommendations for the most effective UHD screens for 2017, with a specific concentrate on excessive dynamic vary.
All of it comes right down to how light is produced by an OLED display.
I might wager there was offered in full element with glorious element and effective-line element. With more amount of contrast ratios than 500,000 these LED TVs do justice to the photographs with more brightness and vibrant colours, and provide the user with a superb cable TV experience. Nevertheless, this is a minor element and the MU9000 is still insanely vibrant while being extraordinarily top quality in all different show efficiency and content material handling specs. This was the 'holy grail' display expertise and solely in 2014 did a giant screen OLED TV go on sale.
LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY: Liquid Crystal Display ushered within the current era of skinny, flat-display TVs and are the most cost effective and most typical. It is not a bad time to buy, with fashions like the TCL offering performance for a value that wasn't attainable before, but perhaps now shouldn't be the time to put money into a high-finish LIQUID CRYSTAL DISPLAY reasonably than a extra affordable one or an OLED.
Latest Sony UHD 4K TELEVISION X950B is capable of profitable the title of the very best 4K decision television for 2014; nevertheless its greatest-in-class functionality has a fairly greater price tag i.e. $6,999. We'll should see whether any firms along with Samsung, which developed HDR10+, undertake it. Amazon has stated it will help HDR10+ in its streaming service. The bottom line for 4K UHD TELEVISION pricing is that it is dropping and like a stone.
And this being an OLED TELEVISION, which is very, excellent at displaying darkness, you will discover your self watching it in the inky blackness if you watch it long enough.
