Why is withholding tax deducted?
Is withholding tax an expense?
Tax is imposed on every non-resident person who derives any dividend, interest, royalty, rent, natural resource payment or management charge from sources in Uganda. The tax is withheld by the payer at a rate of 15% of the gross amount before payment/remittance of the amount is made.
A withholding tax takes a set amount of money out of an employee's paycheck and pays it to the government. The money taken is a credit against the employee's annual income tax. If too much money is withheld, an employee will receive a tax refund; if not enough is withheld, an employee will have an additional tax bill.
Withholding tax (WHT) is imposed on every non-resident person who derives any professional fees or management fees from sources in Uganda. … The tax is withheld by the payer at the rate of 5% on the gross amount before payment in the case of a professional fee payment from a resident to another resident.
IMPORTANT: Frequent question: What monkeys are found in Kenya?
The amount withheld should be remitted to KRA on or before the 20th of the following month. Payment of withholding tax is done online via iTax. The withholder is required to generate a payment slip on iTax and present it at any of the appointed KRA banks to make the payment.
Withholding Tax is an advance payment of income tax. In principle, WHT is a payment on account of the ultimate income tax liability of the taxpayer or company. Withholding tax is not a separate tax on its own and does not confer an exemption from the filing of annual tax returns by the company which had suffered WHT.
What Income Is Subject To Tax Withholding? According to the IRS, regular pay (e.g. commissions, vacation pay, reimbursements, other expenses paid under a nonaccountable plan), pensions, bonuses, commissions, and gambling winnings are all incomes that should be included in this calculation.
If you've paid more in withholding than you owe in taxes for the year, the IRS sends you a refund of the difference. If you didn't have enough money withheld from your check, you owe the IRS.
No refund of tax shall be made in respect of the income. Tax is imposed on every non-resident person who derives any dividend, interest, royalty, rent, natural resource payment or management charge from sources in Uganda.
WHT is therefore nothing more than a collection machinery to curb tax evasion. It is not a separate tax on its own. … VAT is a consumption tax payable on the goods and services consumed by any person, whether government agencies, business organisations or individuals.
IMPORTANT: Why is hunting in Kenya illegal?
If you've had too much withholding tax (WHT) deducted from your foreign dividends, you can often reclaim the overpayment. Doing so involves writing to the tax authorities in the country that the company is based in and asking for a refund.
Payment of withholding tax is done online via iTax, generate a payment slip and present it at any of the appointed KRA banks to pay the tax due. You can also pay via Mpesa. Use the KRA Pay bill Number 572572.
Benefits of Tax Withholding
Tax withholding enables the government to get a steady stream of income throughout the year, as employers and self-employed people generally remit tax on a quarterly basis, and it makes it less likely that people would spend too much money and be unable to pay their taxes.
Federal income tax withholding was calculated by:
Multiplying taxable gross wages by the number of pay periods per year to compute your annual wage.
Subtracting the value of allowances allowed (for 2017, this is $4,050 multiplied by withholding allowances claimed).
Governments use tax withholding as a means to combat tax evasion, and sometimes impose additional tax withholding requirements if the recipient has been delinquent in filing tax returns, or in industries where tax evasion is perceived to be common.
Payroll Withholdings are Liabilities
(The taxes withheld from employees are not an expense of the company that withheld them.) The payroll taxes that are not withheld from employees are expenses of the employer and are liabilities until the amounts are remitted.

DA launches unit to help secure convictions in farm attack cases
7 July 2020 12:44 PM
Farm attacks
Dianne Kohler Barnard
watching briefs
court watching briefs
court unit
The Democratic Alliance (DA) has launched a nation-wide court watching briefs unit as a means to put farm attackers behind bars.
Members of the watching briefs unit will attend court cases to observe the procedures and report on any police inefficiencies.
The unit will act as an unofficial go-between between the police, the prosecution services, and the victims of farm attacks to help facilitate convictions.
The watching briefs initiative was first introduced by the Department of Community Safety in the DA-led Western Cape in a bid to improve justice.
The DA's shadow minister of state security Dianne Kohler-Barnard says the situation in South Africa's rural areas is beyond urgent, with a sharp rise in farm attacks and murders in June.
RELATED: 'It is swept aside and never reported on' - DA MP Kohler-Barnard on farm attacks
A pregnant mother was brutally murdered on a farm in KwaZulu-Natal on Saturday. She had her throat slit.
Kohler-Barnard claims she's seen a growing trend of torturous farm attacks since taking over the security portfolio.
She says there are poor police resources in many of the rural areas in which these attacks take place.
According to Kohler-Barnard, farm attacks affect all ages, races and ages. "It's indiscriminate", she says.
She says these attacks need urgent national attention and claims the media have put farm attacks on the back burner.
There are more and more attacks all over the country where the attackers torture [victims], sometimes for hours and days, and take nothing.
Dianne Kohler-Barnard, Shadow Minister for State Security - DA
These attacks have increased over the lockdown... from April, May, June. Up to June, there were 56 attacks and seven murders.

Battery Sign New Zealand International Deklan Wynne to Multi-Year Contract
By: Battery Media
The Charleston Battery announced Tuesday the signing of New Zealand international defender Deklan Wynne to the 2023 roster, pending league and federation approval. He joins the Black and Yellow on a multi-year contract.
The 27-year-old brings with him bags of experience at the club and international levels, previously playing for MLS sides Vancouver Whitecaps FC and Colorado Rapids, USL Championship clubs OKC Energy FC and Detroit City FC, and is a current member of the New Zealand national team.
"What attracted me to signing for the Battery was, of course, the history of the club and the successes had in the past, along with the way Coach Pirmann wants to play an attacking brand of soccer," said Wynne. "I'm looking forward to linking up with my new teammates and coaching staff and creating a historic 2023 season that we can all be proud of when the year is over.
Wynne was a core piece of Detroit's run to the 2022 USL Playoffs last season, starting 36 matches while contributing three goals and eight assists across all competitions. His 2,940 minutes played in league competition were the most by an outfield player for Detroit. Wynne is capable of being deployed as both a left-back and left-midfielder.
At 19 years old, Wynne made his senior national team debut on November 14, 2014, contributing an assist in New Zealand's 1-1 draw against China. He also competed in tournaments for New Zealand's U-20 and U-23 teams.
Wynne has been capped by New Zealand's senior team 16 times, featuring in World Cup qualifiers and the Confederations Cup, and has tallied two assists. Wynne most recently played for the All Whites in a September 2022 friendly against Australia.
Head Coach Ben Pirmann is elated about bringing aboard the hard-working Wynne.
"Deklan is one of the best left-backs in all of the USL," said Coach Pirmann. "He had an incredible season with Detroit last year in leading them to the playoffs by providing double-digit goal involvements, while also consistently being a lockdown defender in the wide areas.
"Additionally, Deklan is a great footballer with good quickness, agility and stamina, making him the perfect mold of the modern-day fullback. He'll feature in our aggressive system up and down the left channel. Battery supporters will enjoy seeing Deklan working with his teammates to fight each and every minute this season."
In 2015, Wynne made the move to the United States to join Vancouver Whitecaps FC 2, playing there for three seasons before being acquired by Colorado Rapids in December 2017. With Colorado, he made 39 appearances across all competitions from 2018 to 2019.
Wynne made his senior club debut in November 2013 for New Zealand side Wanderers SC, playing two seasons for the team before heading to the U.S.
A native of South Africa, Wynne's family emigrated to New Zealand when he was a teenager.
While still in New Zealand, Wynne had a message to pass along to supporters of the Black and Yellow ahead of the new season.
"I would like the Battery fans to know I'm very excited to be joining the club and to be giving my all during every game at Patriots Point with all of their support alongside the whole team," said Wynne.
Goalkeepers: Daniel Kuzemka, Trey Muse
Defenders: Leland Archer, Derek Dodson, Benji Ettienne, Juan Sebastián Palma, AJ Paterson, Deklan Wynne
Midfielders: Chris Allan, Fidel Barajas, Andrew Booth, Robbie Crawford, Avionne Flanagan, Joe Schmidt, Emilio Ycaza

Lincoln at the Library - Sunday, February 28, 2016
Hoosiers like to think that our greatest president derived his greatness from his youth growing up in Indiana. In fact, Abraham Lincoln rejected many of the values of 19th-century Indiana. Indiana was a Democratic state; Lincoln was a Whig. Indiana was a black law state, with legal discriminations against African Americans; Lincoln's policies as president would end the black laws. Lincoln left Indiana at age 21 and like many a youth, he choose a path for his adult life that differed from his childhood. Join us on Sunday, February 28, 2 pm, in the Allen County Public Library's Meeting Room A as Professor Nicole Etcheson, Alexander M. Bracken Professor of History at Ball State University, speaks on "Lincoln as a Hoosier: Race, Politics and the Sixteenth President." Sponsored by the Friends of the Allen County Public Library.

Family Tree Found
By: Allison
A family member was recently cleaning out her storage when she found a family tree handwritten by my grandfather. The single piece of paper was filled with my grandfather's notes and the family tree sprawled across the page. I was delighted to be given this lovely piece of family history because it really made me feel like I was continuing down a path that my grandfather began years ago.
After figuring out how he organized the family tree on the page, I began checking his information against what I already had in my family tree. Materials such as this family tree are invaluable to genealogy research; however, they must be taken with a grain of salt. My grandfather was a very intelligent man but even he could make mistakes. I found a few discrepancies and used the original documents to determine which research was accurate.
The best piece of information on the page was the married name of my grandfather's aunt. She has been a brick wall for me for years. She married sometime after the 1880 Census and I lost her trail. According to my grandfather's note next to her name, she was the black sheep of the family. I soon discovered that she had been married at least twice and her last husband was about twenty years younger than her. Armed with this new information, I was able to flesh out my family tree a bit more.
The discovery of this forgotten family tree is a reminder that you never know what records other members of your family have in their possession. It is a good idea to frequently remind both close and distant relatives that you are always looking for more information to expand your family tree.

New in Our Military Heritage
Saturday, Feb 06, 2016
We have a number of new records on Our Military Heritage to share with you.
Dennis McClurg has transcribed the Civil War letters of Sgt. Isaac McFadden. McFadden was born in 1834 in Ohio, but moved with his family to Wabash County, Indiana, where he attended school with Samuel Ferguson and his sister, Martha. Isaac was living in St. Louis and courting Martha through the mail, though she was also interested in other young men, when Isaac and Samuel joined the 101st Indiana Infantry. Isaac was with Samuel when the latter died of disease in 1863. A few months later, Isaac died at Chickamauga and is buried in Chattanooga. During this time, the letters Isaac sent to Martha were detailed, illustrating a soldier's life and mentions mutual acquaintances. This database includes both scans of the original letters and transcriptions for Isaac's letters to Martha and others. Thanks to Dennis McClurg for this fabulous source.
Born in Ireland in 1873, Michael Joseph O'Brien joined his brother in America in 1896, and joined the Ninth U.S. Infantry later that same year. He served in the Spanish American War in Cuba, the Philippine Insurrection, the Boxer Rebellion in China, and later in the Texas-Mexican border conflict. He left the Ninth to become a first lieutenant during World War I. Michael Joseph O'Brien of Bartoose, Ireland and Sackets Harbor, New York: an Irish Immigrant's Odyssey tells Michael's story and was donated to us by the author Stephan P. Clarke, who had generously allowed us to post it.
Stephen Clarke has also allowed us to post his work about his uncle, Paul S. Grieb with the 709th Tank Battalion in World War II. This item includes a biography of Paul Grieb, along with a calendar of movements of the 709th Tank Battalion and its activities, notes about the Battle of the Huertgen Forest, and other documents Grieb collected during the war.
We Too Were There: Company C, 353rd Infantry is a company history written by Sgt. Ralph Brach and illustrated by Captain Clarence Hughes. It is a history of the company written shortly after the war and includes memorial and awards list and a directory of all of the unit members.
We also have the autobiographical work The Unique Navy Career of Sheldon H. Hine, Lt. Comdr., U.S.N.R. 1942-1948. This Fort Wayne resident worked with the Special Devices Division of the Bureau of Aeronautics and his story is fascinating.World War II
Last but not least is the file that contains George V. Myers' World War II discharge papers and oral interview. Myers, of Michigan, served in the 353rd Infantry and served in Europe and Africa as a military Policeman. Take a bit of time and have a listen!
What Made You Start Your Family History
Whether you are a novice or an expert, your genealogy start-story is one to be proud of and to share. As the newest librarian on the ACPL Genealogy Center staff, I would like to introduce myself by sharing my own start-story.
Like many youngsters, I often went to pay my respects at the cemetery with my family. Perhaps unlike most people, my maternal grandmother would take me for hours just to wander the local cemetery in Plymouth, Indiana, the town where my mother was raised. She wanted to show me the names, dates, and symbols. While she had no interest in genealogy, she instilled a love of cemeteries in me at a very young age. They are places to love, respect, learn, and be at peace. While death is never a happy subject, having the ability to retain a connection with deceased friends and family is a good thing. My parents were not as enthralled with cemeteries as my grandmother and I, but they would go and clean out the family plot in the Catholic Cemetery of Fort Wayne and put fresh silk flowers out every season.
At age sixteen and I went to the cemetery with my parents and other relatives to perform the annual change of the silk flowers. Since there were more than enough people helping with the family plot, I began to wander through the section to look at the different stones. I was astonished when I discovered a grave stone with my father's name on it! My father, Edward, was named after his grandfather, Edward. My father is alive and well while his grandfather had been buried since 1955. I had no idea who the third Edward could have been. After my initial shock, I realized that the dates were off. This Edward was only 9 years old when he passed away! He was also born almost twenty years after my great-grandfather. Something did not add up.
I went back to the family plot and asked my family members if they knew anything about it. They were all surprised and went back to the grave to see for themselves. None of them had any idea who the child was and how he was related to our family. That was the day I became a novice genealogist. I wanted to know everything about this child and why he wasn't in our family plot if he was a relative. Unfortunately, my paternal grandparents were deceased by this time. I could not ask them any questions. I had to turn to the Allen County Public Library Genealogy Center for help.
I still remember walking into the library and being overwhelmed. I had no idea where to start. Luckily for me, there was a librarian at the desk who was willing to assist me in my beginning search. The interesting thing was that I did not want to start with me, which is the recommended way to begin genealogy. I was bound and determined to figure out who the child with my father's name was and how he was related to us. Thankfully, the librarian helped me find information on the child's death. This led me to his parents' names. The grand mystery was solved. The third Edward was the nephew of my great-grandfather with the same name. His brother honored him by naming his son after him. It was easy to link the brother to my family since he died the same year as the child and is buried in our family plot. It was also interesting to discover that the child was buried next to his mother who died long after the child. In fact, she remarried and had a long life before finally settling next to her little boy.
While I was able to solve the family mystery, it opened up a door of many more mysteries. Why did my great-grandfather's brother die so young? Who were these family members? What did they do? What other family members can I find? The simple family mystery in a cemetery many years ago has led me to spending over half of my life doing genealogy research. I was hooked!
What is your genealogy start-story? Have you shared it with your family? Sometimes learning about the family mysteries and skeletons in the closet are the best ways to pique someone's interest in learning more about genealogy. I look forward to working with all of you!

Downtown Fort Wayne in 1935
Sunday, Dec 20, 2015
We have a fabulous "new" map for your viewing pleasure on our free Allen County, Indiana Resources page. It is a 1935 Business Loop map of downtown Fort Wayne, bordered by Brackenridge on the south, Webster on the west, Columbia and the railroad on the north and Barr on the east. From the whole map which serves as an overview, one may click on sections to see enlargements, to view the locations of theaters, churches, stores and residences all over downtown. Most businesses are specified, such as Patterson Fletcher, Stag Cigar, Bon Ton Bakery, Kroger Market, Baltes hotel and more, although some are just identified as barber or filling station. Buildings are identified by street number and trolley tracks are shown, as is Transfer Corner at Calhoun and Berry. At the top is a statistical summary of the types of businesses, including 18 shoe stores, 40 clothing stores, 22 barbers, 10 hotels, 12 markets, and 9 beer parlors. Residences are not identified by name. The map can be a bit confusing at first, as west is at the top, and a strong knowledge of the streets of Fort Wayne's downtown or a current map may serve as an aid to browsing.
Starting the Collection: Two Great Hoosiers!
Thursday, Dec 17, 2015
People are already sending photos for the Who's a Hoosier? Who and What Makes Indiana Great Bicentennial Image Collection. This one comes from Kevin Roe of Fort Wayne. Kevin has lived most of his life in Fort Wayne. Some of us here in The Genealogy Center knew him as an Allen County Public Library Page-turned Clerk-turned Librarian in the 1970s and 1980s as he worked his way through college and graduate school, then began his career. He's now with Fort Wayne Community Schools, but keeps in touch with us. Kevin is sending a number of family and group photos, but this one shows Kevin (a great Hoosier) with Santa in 1963, when Kevin was 3½ years old.
This Santa is Phil Steigerwald, the famous Wolf & Dessauer Santa Claus. Born in 1927 to Phil E. and Vera Hurst Steigerwald, Phil began his Santa career in 1943, when he was still in high school. In the mid-1950s, his service became a profession at the Sears Store on Rudisill. He became Wolf & Dessauer's Santa several years later and remained there until W&D closed in 1979. Along the way, he was a realtor and a Fort Wayne City Council member from 1963 to 1971. Phil died in 2004, but his legacy lives with the many children who still treasure their pictures with Santa.
Join us in defining Who's a Hoosier? Who and What Makes Indiana Great by submitting images for the collection!
Brethren Additions to Our Free Databases
Monday, Dec 14, 2015
It is a wonder how one person's contributions to our Free Databases can expand research possibilities! The following material has all been donated for your use here by one generous researcher.
The Four Mile Church was the first Church of the Brethren (German Baptist) in Indiana. It was 1809 and the area was known as "The Gore." The Upper Four Mile Church was in Wayne County, and the Lower Four Mile Church was in Franklin County, but when Union County was formed in 1821, both churches were in that county. Four Mile Church, 200th Anniversary discusses the history of the church with brief family histories of members, along with many photos, and a map showing the locations of early Brethren Churches in Indiana.
Virginia Colony: History and Record of the Early Families and Times of the Four Mile Church of the Brethren is a history of the church and area, along with family histories and a name index to this material. Together, these two items provide a wonderful history of the church and its people.
The Frontier Brethren provides a study of the early migration of the Brethren to Kentucky and the Ohio River Valley. It contains historical and biographical material, as well as a map of Brethren churches in Kentucky, and southern Indiana and Ohio.
Southern Ohio, Highland and Adams County Churches also deals with Brethren churches, this time on Ohio. A history of the Church in that region is accompanied by an index of Dunkard families listed in the 1820 and 1830 census of the area.
Obannon Baptist Brethren Church book deals with the Brethren who came to Ohio in the 1790s, and provides a history and information on the families.
All of these were generously provided by Merle Rummel and all can be searched using the search feature on each home page.
The last item, also provided by Mr. Rummel, is Brethren Migration Roads, a PowerPoint file that is not searchable, but contain 264 images that include maps and photographs of the trails as they exist now and images of what might have existed when our ancestors traversed these routes. Whether your ancestors were Brethren or not, this final selection is a wonderful resource.
New Family and Military Records
Our Free Databases keep expanding, this time with some new family materials and a couple of military records.
Eleanor Wallace of Fort Wayne submitted several items of Family Resources. Pragoff Progenitors: Gorin Line, Franklin Extensions, Bowman Extensions and
Pragoff Progenitors: Pragoff Line, Plasket Extensions, Chambers Extensions. These two items delve deeply into the various connecting branches of her Pragoff family.
Loretta Luce Evans donated Luse Family Reunion Book: Record of the Minutes and Doings of the Reunions of the Children Cousins of Serenus B. Luse. It includes images of the Reunion ledger from 1893 to 1905 and 1915, as well as pages of family records, an index and notes of the accuracy of some of the entries.
We also have the World War I Discharge paper of Harold Frary, of the Hoboken Casual Company #246 and Company F of the 316th Engineers. He left the United States in July 1918 and returned in March 1919.
Alexander Morris was born in New York in 1889 and, after his parents died, he and his siblings were placed in an orphan asylum. When it closed, he transferred to a Catholic Reform School, then later, to a better orphan home where he studied music for the first time. He joined the Navy in 1907 and served for the next 47 years until retirement, then died in 1962. His career in the Navy was as a musician and bandmaster. His Peacetime & Multiple Engagements details his career through the first half of the Twentieth Century and is a fascinating read about a young man who worked hard and achieved success.
The last item is the Butler-McDonald-Mazanec Photograph Collection. All of the information we have is the three family names associated with it, and the few notes attached to the photos. It is like looking though a family scrapbook, with formal portraits and snapshots, postcards of locations important to the family, photographs of gravestones and Christmas cards. Take a stroll through the pictures and enjoy!

Day of Listening 2015
The great American holiday of Thanksgiving is nearly upon us. It is a time traditionally when families gather together to share a feast, give thanks for their bounty, and watch football. It is also one of the few times of the year that multiple generations of a family assemble under one roof. It is thus a great time for sharing family stories, looking at photographs, and remembering the past.
This year, why not participate in the Great Thanksgiving Listen, taking place from November 26 to November 29? The sponsor of this event is StoryCorps, a nationally-known oral history project whose mission is to capture the stories of thousands of people across our country. You may have heard excerpts of StoryCorps sessions on National Public Radio. They have made it easy by providing an app that is easily downloaded to a cell phone. This is a convenient way to record the stories of family members and preserve them forever.
Everyone has a story tell, whether it is a family tradition, a childhood memory, a military service experience, or a recollection about a particular place or event. What is the earliest memory that you can recall? Where were you when you heard about President Kennedy's assassination? Did you watch the Apollo 11 moon landing on television in 1969? Where were you on 9/11? What stories have you heard about your family's history?
Let's pause a moment from our feasting this week and take time to remember and record. You'll be glad you did.

If there is one lesson that I have learned well as a successful Internet marketer, it is this: The money is in the niche! You see, even without a subscriber list, you can still make wads of cash online. But without a hyper-responsive niche, your business is a dead duck. You need to find real white hot niches to strike a fortune online.
For instance, on the one hand you may need to keep your money stable so that it can provide you the income you need to live. On the other hand, prices for medications, insurance, food and fuel keep going up each year so you need some way to protect the purchasing power of your income from the long-term effects of rising prices.

European inflation unexpectedly accelerated to the fastest in almost three years. The euro-area inflation rate jumped to 3 percent this month from 2.5 percent in August, the European Union's statistics office in Luxembourg said. That's the biggest annual increase in consumer prices since October 2008.

A savings bank account allows you to issue cheques, which is not possible with mutual funds. To pay house rent to the landlady, you have to redeem your liquid funds units, let the proceeds come to the savings bank account and then issue a cheque.
Recently, the Reserve Bank of India came out with a discussion paper on deregulation of interest rate payable on a savings bank account. A chart in the discussion paper throws light on how savings bank account interest rate and other key rates have been in the recent past. It is clear that the money market offers better returns for very short-term investments than the returns offered by the savings bank account.

Roads in Sweden are built with safety prioritised over speed or convenience. Low urban speed-limits, pedestrian zones and barriers that separate cars from bikes and oncoming traffic have helped. Building 1,500 kilometres (900 miles) of "2+1" roads—where each lane of traffic takes turns to use a middle lane for overtaking—is reckoned to have saved around 145 lives over the first decade of Vision Zero. And 12,600 safer crossings, including pedestrian bridges and zebra-stripes flanked by flashing lights and protected with speed-bumps, are estimated to have halved the number of pedestrian deaths over the past five years.

Has anyone seen a bag of vegan marshmallows? The kind that melts, that's good for end-of-summer s'mores, that might be used in a recent baking project I've been daydreaming about? Because I've checked — Sprouts, Central Market, Trader Joe's — and they are nowhere to be found. While I've been known to pretend I don't know what's in conventional marshmallows when sitting around a campfire, I'm lately looking for some more acceptable options. And the best-looking options seem to be mail-order or a 30-minute jaunt to Arlington's Whole Foods Market to get my hands on some Dandies.
A bit of weekend baking had me tinkering with an old family recipe for Banana Bread. Great (great) Aunt Tee might not recognize this, but I imagine she'd approve of losing the Crisco in favor of vegetable oil, replacing bleached white flour with healthier white-wheat (not too heavy here, I promise) and adding chocolate chips, because chocolate makes everything better. The youngest generation showed its approval by fighting over the last piece.
I attended the Vegetarian Dinner Party cooking class at Central Market last night, taught by Christine Ilarraza, and in spite of having completed a series of professional pastry classes and many years styling recipes for print, I definitely came away with a few new pointers: How to poach eggs free-form (no poaching cups needed), tips on how to make a very tender pastry by hand (no Cuisinart needed), and that butter makes things taste really, really good (did I need to be reminded of that?). Mostly, I just had a good time. Chris, as she goes by, is fun, and so were the other students; it felt like a dinner party with a purpose. With a 6:30 pm start time, Chris made sure that before launching into longer topics, we prepared the first dish, Frisee with Shaved Red Onions & a Poached Egg, so we would have something to eat. She also talked me through my slight squeamishness regarding eggs, and convinced me to pull mine out of the simmering water before it was hard-cooked. I slid it atop the frisee salad, ate it, and lived. We prepared two free-form pie crusts for this class; although I usually go for richer food when entertaining, I think I'll reserved these two recipes—Herbed Mushroom & Goat Cheese Tart and Mixed Seasonal Berry Galette—for separate occasions. Each was appealing, easy, successful, and delicious, but very rich, as pie crusts tend to be.
While Central Market doesn't host a lot of devoted vegetarian cooking classes, it's worth noting that most of the baking classes in the schedule are appropriate for vegetarians, and menus are available online ahead of time, so you can double-check. Up next: Cake Decorating?
There's still one spot left in tonight's Vegetarian Dinner Party cooking class at Central Market in Fort Worth; be the lucky one to snag it! On the menu: Frisée with Shaved Red Onions & a Poached Egg; Herbed Mushroom & Goat Cheese Tart; Creamy Potato & Chive Soup; and Mixed Seasonal Berry Galette with Vanilla Bean Ice Cream.
Combine oats, nuts, sunflower seeds, coconut, cinnamon, and salt in large bowl; toss to mix well. Heat syrup, oil, and vanilla in heavy small saucepan over medium-low heat, stirring just until heated through, about 2 minutes. Pour hot syrup mixture over oat and nut mixture in bowl; use rubber spatula to mix well, folding until mixture is evenly moistened.
Transfer to 13- by 9-inch baking dish and bake, stirring occasionally, until mixture is lightly browned and fragrant and nuts are toasted, about 40 minutes. Cool, stirring granola occasionally as it cools to prevent sticking. Store in airtight container at room temperature up to one week.
I've been hard at work on a story for Indulge magazine that has something to do with chocolate (I love my job), to be published in the next issue. So for New Year's Eve dessert, I decided to make one of the recipes from the story, a cinnamon-spiced molten chocolate cake from Lanny Lancarte of Lanny's restaurant. In part, I chose to make his cakes for the holidays because my mother-in-law is trying to follow a gluten-free diet, and this one is free of flour (it has a little cornstarch). Snag a copy of the next issue, if only for this recipe.
I didn't miss pumpkin over the summer. But then its absence began slowly revealing itself. First, I was testing a recipe from Anna Thomas' new vegetarian soup cookbook, Love Soup, for an upcoming 805 Living column—a recipe for her Great Pumpkin Soup. Central Market had no fresh pumpkins; I chalked it up to being too early in the season (it was August, after all), and made the soup with butternut squash instead; it came out beautifully, and I forgot all about not being able to find pumpkin. A couple weeks later, I went looking for a can of pumpkin puree to make my favorite pumpkin bread recipe—a must for when school's back in session and we're all willing the long, hot summer weather to end. Again, I went to Central Market, and again, no pumpkin. What was left on the shelves seemed more befitting a convenience store than my favorite grocery store: Just a few banged-up cans of pumpkin pie MIX, which is not what I reach for when baking. I pulled aside a Central Market Foodie, and he confirmed my fear: Last year's pumpkin crop failed, so there's no pumpkin to be found—anywhere. They're expecting this year's crop to be in stores later this fall; when it's really pumpkin season again, and I'm looking forward to that. While it's stylish (and smart) to talk about eating seasonally, I'll admit that being forced to follow through stings a little. This year's pumpkin is going to taste that much sweeter. Bring on fall!
I've been busy testing recipes for an upcoming column on lemons. While I was skeptical of the basic crust and the copious amount of cornstarch in the filling, this lemon meringue pie came out incredibly well, worthy of a bakeshop counter somewhere in the 1950s. My husband said it was just like House of Pies in Los Angeles, but given that my most memorable experience there was watching pigeon poop land in my coffee during an al fresco meal, I think I'll go out on a limb and say it's SO much better than that. Sometimes old-school recipes are the best; just check out that smiling face in the background.

Nexus Meets... Artist
Nexus Meets… Fendahlene
30th July 2020 30th July 2020 Nicole Mendes	0 Comments	alternative rock, indie rock
Over 20 years ago, in late 1994 to be exact, three lads from Sydney, Australia, decided to form a rock band called Fendahlene. Two years after forming, Paul Whiteley (vocals and guitar), Ashley Hurst (bass) and Ben Felton (drums) released their debut EP Blue Fortress. Now fast-forward to 2020 and hop over to the UK, we find Paul and Ashley living in London and releasing their new album High and Low and Back Again. We spoke with Ashley Hurst about the new album, band names and much more.
You recently released your album High and Low and Back Again. What was the concept behind the album?
Pretty much every new song in the last several years has been really personal. Some quite abstract, a couple brutally direct. Some introspective, others outward-looking, but always personal. For example, we'd write a song about the likes of Trump and Brexit – like 'Can't Feel This Way' – from the same personal and contemplative perspective as a song about relationships. We were, without realising it at first, mapping out a journey. Certainly not with a happy Hollywood-ending, and not with an 'OMG dystopia' ending either; more as a slice of navigating day-to-day life, especially in the current climate.
The key thing about this journey was the swings, sometimes minor, sometimes wild, but never predictable; hence the title, High and Low and Back Again. Addressing the themes of the songs as we worked on them definitely made us feel this way. Also, we found that some songs had entirely different meanings to different people, I suppose just like things in real day-to-day life.
In many cases, people need to compromise when producing albums. Did the band clash when it came to High and Low and Back Again?
Did we clash? Not really, to be honest. I mean, of course, Paul and I have had disagreements over the years, but the recording studio is sort of sacrosanct for us. I mean, it's too much fun all the time, even at the end of a super long day so we're never really in 'clash-mode'. In every session, we're pretty much in a permanent state of 'how awesome is this?' Also, the Urchin Studio guys Matt Ingram (who played drums) and engineer Dan Cox run a really tight ship. This really helped us focus big time.
What is your creative process, particularly when it comes to making an album?
We actually don't have a set songwriting process. Paul or I will start with an idea for a melody, riff or progression, then try to produce a coherent working arrangement and provisional lyrics which we will work on together or separately. A couple of the songs on the album we wrote from scratch in a rehearsal. Way back when, we tried a set formula for writing which was super restrictive when you got stuck. We are much better just going with the flow.
For our previous albums and EPs, we'd select our best say 15 songs, narrow down the best and record with invariably 1-2 new songs being written during the sessions. For High and Low and Back Again, after we had around 4-5 songs, we started to see this album could have overarching themes and a connected journey, so we started working on new songs with that in mind.
Do you have a favourite song on the album?
Changes all the time, seriously! If we're thinking singles, it's the title track; however, for me, the one track that I can have on repeat for hours on end is 'Dead and Gone'. I thought this the first time I heard the rough on Paul's acoustic in his garage. It's my favourite song because as the album goes it closes the circle perfectly.
For Paul, I know he really digs 'Speak Out' because it uses so few lyrics to make a point, and it's in open G tuning – typical guitarist answer. Also, depending on the mood, 'Can't Feel This Way' and 'A New Thread'.
What about a least favourite song?
We don't have one. Seriously, I suppose it depends on how you're listening to the songs. We did this as an album first and foremost and like a typical album there are definitely songs on there that hook you pretty much straight away, while others are a slow burn.
For me, 'Here and Now' on Side 1 and 'I Won't Call Time' on Side 2 are both growers. When we recorded them initially they didn't really knock us off our feet, but then by the time we got to mixing we loved them and how they fitted in the overall scheme of the album. We've had listeners to the album who have made the same sort of comments.
How did the band come about?
Paul and I went to high school together and formed a few bands for competitions; I think the first one was called The Arthur C Clarke Mystery Band. We were quiet for a few years after graduation, then I was at a house party with a really good blues band playing in the living room – it was a REALLY large house. I was convinced to play a song on bass with them, no doubt after a few cans of confidence. Anyway, straight 12-bar, went for about 20 minutes and that was me gone. Hooked again and this time for good! It turned out that Paul was getting itchy feet about playing in a band at the very same time, so it was a no-brainer to form a new one which this time was Fendahlene.
What about the band name? Was it a unanimous decision or were compromises made?
It was unanimous after a long time of being anything but, if that makes sense. Not so much that we all had mega-favourites that we stubbornly lobbied for, but more that we just didn't know what would work and were a bit reluctant to make a final decision. At this time, we were pretty full-on rehearsing so it didn't seem as important.
Our then drummer Ben, who we also went to school with, came up with a list of names that was a bit nuts. I can't remember all of them, but 'Solace Personified' and 'Pineapple Noriega' will never be forgotten. It turned out to be a good circuit breaker that made us focus properly and about a week later Fendahlene was chosen, inspired by a Doctor Who serial called The Image of the Fendahl. Even then, we couldn't work out how to best spell it and had to concoct our own spelling. Naturally, the first two venues we ever played at got it wrong splashing our band name across ads and everything else starting with a capital S. Once we learned how to say 'F for Freddy', then we were finally there.
How would you describe your music?
We always thought of ourselves as 'indie rock' or 'alternative rock' until the boom in streaming which seems to have more categories and genres to choose from than songs. I'd stick to our original descriptions but with variation depending on the song. A bit post-punk, some alt-country, some roots, old-school 70s blues rock, even melodic soul. I mean, when it comes down to it, we're a rock and roll band.
If you could perform with any artist at any music venue, who would it be and where?
For me, it's between Pavement at the Electric Ballroom Camden or The Stones, also at the Ballroom. I mean, who wouldn't want to play with The Stones in a venue like that? I know Paul would do anything for a time machine so we could play with The Beatles on the roof of the Apple Corps building in Saville Row, but because science wins every time he'll settle for Pearl Jam at the Hammersmith Apollo.
What are your future plans?
Once the lockdown is over, we want to go back to Plan A and do all the typical new album things, especially gigging. We'd love to play around the UK and Europe and not necessarily in big venues. Our background is the Sydney pub and club scene and we seriously love a small to medium-size venue show.
We plan to gig acoustically with just the two of us and with a full band which we were just about to start planning before lockdown. Speaking of which, the first thing we're going to do is a new publicity photo shoot. We had planned that for late March and, of course, it never happened.
Finally, we will go back to into the studio to make a new album; although, we may do it in chunks to satisfy the needs of the streaming world. We learned so much with the guys at Urchin Studios and the process, so looking forward to recording again with that knowledge in mind.

Any Ideas for Half Round Windows?
Today, I bought a pair of Three Strap Hiker Boots at Urban Outfitters. UO won't catch me doing any regular hiking in them, but I sence they might find me strolling up Mariaberget in them when autumn leaves fall. Trendz? Well, I can see three: the lace (grandma-ish), the straps and of course the rivets.

Nestlé USA enters online prepared meals market
Published June 20, 2017 by Robert Powell, III
Arlington-based Nestlé USA has acquired a minority interest in Freshly, which currently supplies consumers in 28 states with weekly shipments of meals.
With the move, Nestlé is entering the $10 billion online U.S. prepared meals market.
Nestlé is the lead investor in the $77 million round of new funding announced by Freshly on Tuesday.
As part of its agreement with Freshly, Nestlé USA's Food Division President Jeff Hamilton joins Freshly's board of directors.
The investment by Nestlé will help to fund Freshly's construction of a new East Coast kitchen and distribution center next year, as it prepares to expand to nationwide service.
Based in New York with operations in Phoenix, Freshly was founded in 2015 and employs 400 people. It plans to hire additional employees over the next 12 months.
With a 60,000-square-foot facility in Phoenix, Freshly currently can ship to approximately 40 percent of consumers.
With the completion of a new facility in Savage, Md., Nestlé estimates that Freshly will be able to serve about 93 percent of the U.S. population with prepared meals that can be heated in two-three minutes.

Bristow Virginia has turned into a huge PUD (Planned Urban Development). It boarders the area's of Nokesville, Haymarket, Gainesville and Manassas. Bristow was once farm land that consisted of non conforming neighborhoods with no HOA's and no shopping.
Bristow has quickly transformed into an upper middle class neighborhood with a varitiy of home styles, lot sizes and price ranges. You have neighborhoods like the Braemar Community, Bridlewood, Bridlewood Manor, Brookside, Crossman Creek, Foxborough, Kingsbrooke, New Bristow Village, Lanier Farms, Saybrooke, Sheffield Manor, and Victory Lakes.
The Bristow Real Estate market is going strong for both sales and rentals. There is currently 40 homes for sale in the Bristow area. This is down 17.44% from last year. The average list price is $408,501. Of those 40 homes for sale, three are bank owned and eight are short sales. This is a huge improvement from the 60% short sale inventory we had the same time last year. Year over year prices have improved by 8.04% with an average day on the market of 33 days.
The rental market has been good in Bristow. With the average home being built prior to the real estate bubble it has made it affordable for homeowners to rent their current home and move up to a large one. There are currently 21 homes for rent with an average rental price of $2,338. This is up 13% from the same time last year when rents averaged $2,045. Renting is another option for those who are upside down and need to transfer out of the area.
With the summer real estate market in full swing it appears that prices for Bristow will contunue to edge upward as the supply of homes remains low.

Q: Make Installer for both User and Adminstrator I use WIX 3.5 to create an MSI installer for a DLL.
I would like to make one installer that allows a simple user to install the program (per user) and also an administrator (per machine).
The registry entries I have to define, are different depending on the user preference:
If he select the "per user" option, the registry entry is HKEY_CURRENT_USER  ,
as opposed if he select the "per machine" option, the registry entry is HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE.
This is how the registry entry should be defined in code in case of per machine (HKLM):
<Component Id="AdminAddinsRegEntries" Guid="8777A7AB-B147-4850-9F25-65011306E9C6" >
  <RegistryKey Root="HKLM" Key="Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\AdminAddins" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
     <RegistryValue Type="string" Value="AdminAddins.MyClass" />
  </RegistryKey>
</Component>

This is how the registry entry should be defined in code in case of per user (HKCU):
<Component Id="AdminAddinsRegEntries" Guid="8777A7AB-B147-4850-9F25-65011306E9C6" >
  <RegistryKey Root="HKCU" Key="Software\Sparx Systems\EAAddins\AdminAddins" Action="createAndRemoveOnUninstall">
     <RegistryValue Type="string" Value="AdminAddins.MyClass" />
  </RegistryKey>
</Component>

How can I add the condition to avoid two different installers?

A: In that specific registry case, you use the HKMU registry key for, it does that switch for you. In the more general case you'd perhaps need to follow these guidelines depending on what else is in your install:

The Thanksgiving feast was delicious and the leftovers were too. I'm certain my calorie intake over the past week is quite out of balance with my use of energy.
We left our friend, Mr. Turkey, warm and happy in last week's blog post.
Last week we left our wildlife friend, Mr. Turkey, exposed and thermally obvious. You can imagine what happened between then and this week.
Upon further and closer inspection of the turkey-in-infrared image, something looks very familiar about this particular turkey.
Heat Transfer is for Turkeys!
This week, many Americans will be sitting down to Thanksgiving dinner, which is as good a time as any to Think Thermally™! Whether you are the cook, the "bottle washer" or just hungry for turkey, useful thermal lessons abound during Thanksgiving.
Happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the United States! Here are infrared images of Tom Turkey before he goes into the oven, and after he comes out of the oven. Believe it or not, the little internal temperature probe (you know… the notoriously unreliable and useless one) actually popped up. Time for dinner!


Winter is often the time of year when people want to escape out of Ontario. It's a time when people are more likely to be checking out cheap vacations to somewhere warm...like Cuba!
I did some digging and was able to narrow it down to the top 24 cottages in Ontario that you need to be booking this winter. I tried to pick ones all over Ontario so you can explore all that our amazing province has to offer! Some of them will even cost you less than the bottle of Skinny Girl while you'll be bringing along with you. Enjoy!
This beautiful cottage in Tobermory, Ontario will have you never wanting to leave. It has a stunning view of the lake (that will be frozen when you go) and is incredibly spacious. It sleeps eight and has a gorgeous fireplace that you're welcome to use. Wake up every morning to beautiful views of the outdoors and make sure you capture a snap of the sunrise. Also, you cannot beat this price!
Did I have you sold at pizza oven? This stunning cottage in Tiny, Ontario (how cute) is anything but small. In fact, it comfortably sleeps eight people and features incredible amenities such as a stunning firepit outside to keep you warm and tons of parking. The pizza oven is also available to use and seems like a great way to spend time with friends! Just make sure you don't forget the cheese!
This HUGE cottage in Georgian Bay, Ontario has panoramic views of the water and will give you a real sense of the beauty of this province. You'll be able to enjoy your trip with up to six friends and watch the stunning sunset every night.

In addition, this cottage also features a jacuzzi tub so don't forget to pack all of your bath bombs.
This massive and newly renovated cottage is perfect for those people like me who like to vacation in royalty. Let's be real, this cottage is so big it's a house, but the price will have you thinking otherwise. It features a newly renovated bathroom for when you want to relax, is super close to ski resorts for when you want to be 'sporty', and you can also enjoy ice fishing for when you're hungry and want to make dinner from 'scratch'.
This cottage looks like my dream house, to be honest. This beauty has stunning views of the lake, features a gorgeous fireplace and has tons of parking for all of your besties. Make sure you book soon!

The next cottage for you was actually built in the 1860s - how rustic! This newly renovated space has a gorgeous fireplace and kitchen for you to use! In addition, it has a massive built-in wine rack right beside the fridge. Lastly, the bedroom is absolutely adorable and something out of a fairytale. Can you tell I love it?
This cottage is literally nicer than my house and features an incredible bathtub for you to unwind in. Additionally, there's tons of space for you to have dinner with your friends and is minutes from wineries in Niagara. Some of my personal recommendations for you to check out include Pellar Estates, Iniskillin, and Trius!
Honestly, this already is sounding like the perfect getaway!
Firstly, is this the world's largest 'cabin'? I can't even.
This massive cabin is made completely out of logs and has beautiful views of the lake for you and your besties to wake up to. This cottage features heated floors so don't bother bringing your slippers and also a massive kitchen so you'll never run out of room for all of the appies you'll be making.
This stunning cottage in Algoma Mills is the perfect rustic getaway. It has beautiful views of the lake and even features a sauna! This cute place seems like the perfect, quaint destination for anyone.
This waterfront cottage in Iroquois Falls is absolutely massive and at an incredible price. On top of that, this cute cottage is tucked in a great location close to snowmobiling (if that's your thing) and ice fishing, just in case you want to catch your dinner instead of buying it.
Okay, even if I don't book this cottage myself I'm definitely to inquire about where they got that stunning mirror in their bathroom.
Home decor aside, this cottage has a beautiful view of the lake and features a jacuzzi for you to use. In addition, it's on a quiet property so you and your BFFs don't have to worry about bugging anyone.
This amazing cabin is built completely out of cedar wood and is hidden in a forest for the perfect getaway. It also features a beautiful fireplace that looks like something you'd see in the movies. Lastly, it also features a bbq and a fire pit so you can cook your dinner right outside or even enjoy some smores!
If you're looking for something a little bit more connected to society still than don't hesitate to check out this BEAUTIFUL and super chic place in Downtown Toronto. This place may not have views of a lake or be built out of logs, but it does seem like the perfect getaway for any group of friends. It's also super close to a bunch of amazing restaurants such as Drake Hotel, so you can treat yourself to some classy Lobster Benedict for brunch.
Live your best life at this cozy cabin in Haliburton! This cute place will give you all those rustic feels and is secluded enough for the perfect trip away.
Okay, if the sunset and bathtub at this place don't have you sold then I don't know what will. This cabin in Callander, Ontario is the perfect getaway for friends as it's super close to a river and has an adorable fireplace perfect for those cute Instagram photos.
This massive house in Sudbury has all the essentials for the perfect trip away with your BFFs, including access to an ICONIC popcorn machine. In addition, this cute place also features a bbq and fireplace so you can live your best Canadian life and cook dinner over the fire.
If there's one place that I'd book this winter it's this cabin in Parry Sound. Not only is the inside stunning, but the lake is steps away from where you'll be staying. In addition, this quaint and quiet place is the perfect retreat for friends looking to de-stress from the hustle and bustle of the big city.
This cabin looks like it's straight out of Pinterest and I'm alive for it. It features a stunning white fireplace, and a massive kitchen so you can cook for yourself and cut Uber Eats right out of the budget for the BFF weekend.
Oh my gosh, this mansion is the 'cabin' that I've always wanted to live in. Located in Parry Sound, this massive place will comfortably house you and eleven of your best friends. In addition, there are tons of opportunities for snowmobiling around this place so you're sure to have a great time!
This cute little place cannot be beat considering the price. It has everything you need including a fireplace, it's in the middle of the forest, and there are tons of greats trails around to test out some snowshoeing. Enjoy!
This cabin looks like it's straight out of the Chronicles of Narnia and I'm alive for it. Not only is the outside perfect for a snap on your Instagram feed, but the inside also gives off total cabin vibes (I can't with all the wood panelling).
I saved the best for last with this stunning cabin in Grand Marais, Ontario. Located right on the lake with ice fishing and tons of trails you really can't go wrong with this place! With that being said, I did take a look at the availability and it's filling up fast so make sure you book soon!
