Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E15: "The Mystery of Anwat Gar"
Welcome to another episode rewatch! If you're sticking with me everyday, we're absolutely barreling through He-Man and the Masters of the Universe and things are going pretty good.
Usually when I try to do a full-scale rewatch of a show – especially an old cartoon series – I go crazy from boredom, poor storytelling and a host of terrible plot devices. Maybe because I stayed quasi-recent as opposed to going back to the 80s, we've gotten a much better quality show. Thinking back about how sudden my excitement for a show would fizzle out like when I was watching M.A.S.K. or how I'd get frustrated with a long string of poor episodes like I did with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, I'm very grateful for what I've got with this series.
Like I've said before, it doesn't have to be the best thing ever, it just needs to be good enough to keep me interested and watching. That's a low bar and it has cleared that with ease. It's not just something barely good enough, it's something that is often very good and even when I find myself not liking an episode, that singular chapter is just mediocre as opposed to straight trash.
With that said, we're coming off a pretty fun episode yesterday and diving into a fresh one today. That's always a good thing. Let's hope we're rewarded again. Continue reading →

Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E14: "Underworld"
July 9, 2019 elshoes	Leave a comment
Welcome to another cartoon rewatch! We've made it to the All-Star Break portion of Season 1 and, going into the second half, I'd say we have a pretty solid series overall. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe didn't last very long but – so far – has been a very nice updated version 20 years after the original Filmation series.
Now, does that mean this is the most amazing thing ever? Even as a very biased observer: no, it's not. But it didn't have to be. All I want from anything He-Man is to be good and enjoyable that way I can continue to get new shows or movies and new toys and figures. I want new generations of fans to enjoy these characters for decades like I have so things like Power-Con can still happen and be successful. Unfortunately, I've still never been to a Power-Con (the one time I was planning to go, my home was suddenly under threat of a bad hurricane so plans needed to be changed), but hope that one of these years I'll finally be able to head out that way and get to hang out with all my fellow He-Fans.
So that was a brief little tangent, but it's good to take the exit ramp every now and then just to see what's around. And now that that's out of the way, let's watch another episode. Continue reading →

Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E13: "Night of the Shadow Beasts"
Welcome back to a new week of episode rewatches! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend full with things like girls that have broken our hearts and…the Matrix, Neo, but now it's time to come back to reality to watch some 17 year old animation.
When we left off, Skeletor is fully aware that the powers of the Elders are contained within Castle Grayskull, Count Marzo returned and was re-banished, Mekaneck suffered from depression and was prescribed Zoloft by Prince Adam and Orko is still driving everybody (me included) insane.
So, with that said, strap on in and let's kick off another week with some quality Eternian entertainment! Continue reading →

Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E12: "Mekaneck's Lament"
July 5, 2019 elshoes	1 Comment
Welcome back to another cartoon rewatch! It's Friday which is – as this old guy I used to work with named Cesar used to say – "the best day in the week!" Hopefully, the rest of you are enjoying the spoils of a four-day weekend brought on by yesterday's holiday, but, if you're like me and do not get to enjoy said holiday, we can put that energy toward enjoying another episode of He-Man.
Today's episode is titled "Mekaneck's Lament" which, I assume will address Mekaneck's issues with depression and having a lame power. It happens to the best of us. Or maybe not since not all of us have a silly power like making your neck extend unreasonably far. Either way, I can see why he would be depressed over it.
So since most of you are still so full of meat products that it would take a crane to lift you off your couch today, let's stop messing around and just get on with the show. Continue reading →

Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E11: "Turnabout"
Welcome back to another episode rewatch of He-Man and the Masters of the Universe! We're plowing through this series and already almost halfway through Season 1. Give yourselves a round of applause for this momentous accomplishment.
Quick sidenote: Happy 4th of July!
If there was any justice in the world, this would be the national anthem. Won't see anyone kneeling when they could be nodding their heads like yeah.
In addition to staying committed to these recaps, I've realized how nice it is to be able to watch an episode and just be OK with seeing that one episode. Binge culture has obviously become how we consume so many of our shows now, but how much do we actually remember and process from those shows? Stranger Things is out this week on Netflix and everyone will go nuts for about ten days over it and then quickly forget it ever existed again. Maybe I'll do a daily episode recap of that like I've been doing for old cartoons just because and to see if it makes me care any more than I usually would.
Either way, we're here for Episode 11 today and I'd say we're fully engorged in the canon now. Adam recognizes the power and importance of being He-Man, Skeletor has figured out why Castle Grayskull is so important and Orko is a fucking buffoon. Cool. Cool, cool, cool.
All of that brings us to today's episode to further dive into Eternian mythology. Let's do it. Continue reading →
Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E10: "Dragon's Brood"
Welcome to the Hump Day edition of our 2002 He-Man and the Masters of the Universe rewatch. While I've been focusing on this specific show, we did have some breaking MOTU news over the weekend.
A report came out on Saturday that Sony Pictures was temporarily shutting down production of the planned MOTU movie (which has been rumored since pretty much this animated series we've been watching was brand new in 2002) – and slated to star Netflix RomCom veteran Noah Centineo – due to concerns with the script and budget. A follow-up came out a few hours later that this was not the case and everything is still all systems go with the planned production and shooting schedule.
So first off, I wasn't surprised to originally hear it was being shut down. To be honest, I'd be absolutely shocked if anything for this movie ever really takes place. It has felt like there's been a hundred restarts and sudden stops with this property over the last 15 years that it's become one of those, "I'll believe it when I see it" things.
Sure, things are a bit different this time as a lead actor is not only attached, but going around talking about being involved in this production, but I will continue to be cautiously optimistic. Continue reading →

Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E09: "The Ties That Bind"
Welcome back to another episode rewatch! We're just burning through this series so, in the words of Freddie Mercury, "bicycle, bicycle, bicycle."
Sure, "Don't Stop Me Now" would have been more appropriate, but what fun would that be?
Yesterday's episode was pretty fun and I'm expecting the same of today's. I don't base that on anything besides the fact that I've enjoyed every episode so far and see no reason why I wouldn't feel the same today. While the heart of each episode is true to the original – Skeletor wants power, tries taking over everything – this series is doing a good job of almost playing a long game with his plans.
Nobody is going to say for one second that Skeletor isn't the big bad here, but this series has actually shrunk his role to an extent thus far. Our double-main man is still prevalent, but is more than happy to stay at Snake Mountain while delegating his assignments and orders from the comfort of his bone throne. It's keeping him fresh for the instances where he does show up for battle and gives a vibe of, "shit…the Masters may really be fucked now" since he hasn't been portrayed as a clown like the classic Skelly.
You can say the same for Evil-Lyn who – always Skeletor's #2 – has been a standout character for me thus far. They've written her incredibly well and given her a lot to work with. She's demonstrated her intelligence, her power as well as her somewhat muted thoughts of possibly overthrowing Skeletor at some point. She's proven she can take the lead on missions and there's nothing unbelievable about it.
So that's where we are. Sometimes you forget how early in the series this still is because of all the previous iterations of these characters we've had over the years, but going into Episode 9 today, I'd say that right now this show is sailing along wonderfully. So, with that being said, let's get to Episode 9 right now.
Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E08: "Siren's Song"
How was everybody's weekend? Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Welcome back to another exciting rewatch on the Car JoeMez channel. It's a basic channel, no premium payments needed…for now.
We're continuing along in our series rewatch of the 2002 Mike Young Productions' He-Man & The Masters of the Universe and I'd say so far, so good. The changes and differences from the beloved original have made sense and helped improve the presentation and the storytelling is light-years ahead of the original which was a victim of its time where these shows just didn't feature a conjoined story across multiple episodes – forget about a full season – unless it was some kind of special like "The Secret of the Sword" movie that introduced She-Ra that was then broken up into five episodes for television or the two-part Supermarket Sweep episode of Married…With Children that will be forever beloved in my house.
One of my favorite show to reminisce about. A rewatch of this may be necessary soon.
OK, so we've got improved storytelling, changes that have been positive and animation that takes advantage of the advances in the system to give a sleek, action-packed finished product. I'd say we're doing pretty good so far. Which makes this a great time to start week 2 of the rewatch. Let's go.

Daily Cartoon: He-Man & The Masters of the Universe S01E07: "Lessons"
June 28, 2019 elshoes	2 Comments
Welcome back to another cartoon rewatch! It's Friday so let's close out the week strong so we can get enough rest to come out swinging on Monday.
In yesterday's episode, we had a huge moment at the end where Skeletor comes to the realization that Castle Grayskull has some kind of importance that he'd previously been unaware of. He doesn't quite know what that importance is as of yet, but prior to yesterday's episode, the Castle was thought to be just some old ruins on the outskirts of Eternia. Only Prince Adam, Man-At-Arms, Orko and Cringer were aware of the power held and protected within.
While Skeletor still doesn't know that it's exactly what he seeks (the power of the Elders) that's being protected inside, he does know that Castle Grayskull just moved up on his list of shit to take over since he saw how vehemently the Masters tried to defend it.
Now we'll see how important he believes it to be and if he makes it the focal point of his new plans and attacks. Obviously, without the full knowledge, it's very possible he may push this back for a few episodes, but if I was an Overlord of Evil, I'd probably want to get in there ASAP and snoop around. Like some real Navy SEAL shit.
Today's episode is called "Lessons" and, honestly, that give me absolutely no hint as to what this episode will be about or which character it will be focusing on. I'm kinda good with that. Surprise me, He-Man. Let's watch a cartoon. Continue reading →

IRS Reaffirms Non-Deductibility of Forgiven PPP Loan Expenses and Affords New Tax Filing Safe Harbor Rules
R. Prescott Jaunich
Downs Rachlin Martin PLLC
In May, the IRS issued Notice 2020-32, providing that a taxpayer that receives a loan through the Paycheck Protection Program ("PPP") is not permitted to deduct expenses that are normally deductible under the Code to the extent the payment of those expenses results in loan forgiveness under the CARES Act. This week, the IRS acted to reaffirm its position.
Under Section 1106(b) of the CARES Act, an eligible recipient of a covered PPP loan can receive forgiveness of indebtedness on the loan in an amount equal to the sum of payments made for the following expenses during the covered period beginning on the covered loan's origination date: (1) payroll costs; (2) any payment of interest on any covered mortgage obligation; (3) any payment on any covered rent obligation; and (4) any covered utility payment. However, Section 1106(i) excludes from gross income any amount forgiven under the PPP.
On November 18, 2020, the IRS has now reaffirmed that because the income associated with PPP loan forgiveness is excluded from gross income under the CARES Act, taxpayers cannot claim a deduction for any otherwise deductible expense if the payment of the expense results in forgiveness of a PPP loan. See Revenue Ruling (Rev. Rul. 2020-27), which addresses the issue of borrowers who pay expenses in 2020 but whose PPP loan is not forgiven until 2021, and Revenue Procedure (Rev. Proc. 2020-51) that provides a safe harbor for PPP borrowers that have their loan forgiveness denied or who choose not to request loan forgiveness.
Rev. Rul. 2020-27 addresses the question of whether a taxpayer that received a PPP loan and that paid or incurred certain otherwise deductible expenses can deduct those expenses in the tax year in which the expenses were paid or incurred if, at the end of that tax year, the taxpayer reasonably expects to receive forgiveness of the covered loan based on the otherwise deductible expenses.
This Revenue Ruling discusses two situations in which a taxpayer receives a PPP loan in 2020 and pays expenses, including payroll, mortgage interest, and rent, that are eligible expenses under Section 1106(a) of the CARES Act. In the first situation, the taxpayer applies for forgiveness of the PPP loan (and knew the amount of expenses that qualifies) in November 2020 but has not been informed by the lender at the end of 2020 whether the loan will be forgiven. In the second situation, the taxpayer has not applied for loan forgiveness by the end of 2020 but knew the amount of expenses that qualifies. In both situations, the IRS asserts, a taxpayer has a reasonable expectation of reimbursement (in the form of loan forgiveness) at the end of 2020 so deduction of the expenses is inappropriate. The IRS says that "the fact that the tax-exempt income may not have been accrued or received by the end of the taxable year does not change this result because the disallowance applies whether or not any amount of tax-exempt income in the form of covered loan forgiveness and to which the eligible expenses are allocable is received or accrued."
In Rev. Proc. 2020-51, the IRS also included new safe-harbor rules, effective for tax years beginning in 2020, that allow a taxpayer to claim a deduction in the taxpayer's 2020 tax year for certain otherwise deductible eligible 2020 expenses if the taxpayer received a PPP loan that the taxpayer expects to be forgiven after its 2020 tax year and in a later year the taxpayer is denied PPP loan forgiveness, in whole or in part, or if the taxpayer ultimately decides not to request PPP loan forgiveness. Under the revenue procedure's safe harbor, the taxpayer can deduct some or all of the expenses on (1) a timely filed (including extensions) original tax or information return for the 2020 tax year, (2) an amended 2020 return or administrative adjustment request, or (3) a timely filed original tax or information return for the subsequent tax year.
To qualify for the safe harbor, taxpayers must attach a statement to their return titled "Revenue Procedure 2020-51 Statement" that contains:
A statement specifying whether the taxpayer is an eligible taxpayer under either Section 3.01 of the revenue procedure, for a taxpayer who applied for loan forgiveness in 2020 (or as of the end of the 2020 tax year intended to apply for loan forgiveness in a subsequent tax year) and the application was denied in whole or part, or under Section 3.02, for a taxpayer who applied for loan forgiveness in 2020 (or as of the end of the 2020 tax year intended to apply for loan forgiveness in a subsequent tax year) but in a later tax year decides to irrevocably withdraw its request for forgiveness;
A statement that the taxpayer is applying the safe harbor in Section 4.01 of the revenue procedure for expenses claimed in 2020 or Section 4.02 for expenses claimed in a later year;
The amount and date of disbursement of the taxpayer's loan;
Nothing in the revenue procedure prevents the IRS from examining tax returns to determine whether the taxpayers qualify to deduct the expenses in question.

The Association of Americans Resident Overseas
jean Taquet
December 2015 - January 2016
I would like to wish you all
A MERRY CHRISTMAS AND A HAPPY NEW YEAR
I am looking forward to the year to come, 2016.
"I Will Survive," first recorded by American singer Gloria Gaynor in October 1978, describes the narrator's discovery of her own personal strength following a bad breakup - but may also sum up what too many people have on their mind in the face of terrorism, whether they live in Paris, elsewhere in France or anywhere else in the world. Right it now feels like terrorist acts are possible all over the world. The feeling that we are all in survival mode, rather than happily living our own lives, does exist for many of us. But no one can function well this way in the long term, so we go back to life as usual, and push away the threat. It is one thing to militantly go out and be entertained when the mood is blue and fear is prevalent. It is another thing to do so without having to overcome fear anymore. This is the challenge France has faced since Friday November 13th, and we all hope that the country will continue to handle the situation well in these difficult times.
IS TERRORISM WAR?
The question of whether terrorism, and the struggle against terrorism, constitutes war is complex and the answer necessarily diverse. I do not have the expertise to give a definitive answer to this question, but it is one that we all must confront - most of us against our will - after a large-scale terrorist attack such as the one in Paris that killed 130 people.
One might be tempted to draw a comparison, for example, with what happened on 9/11 in the USA. Many experts have detailed where such a comparison is pertinent and where it is totally invalid. The idea that arming the French population would be a solution is pure insanity: this has never been a French tradition. Hunting weapons are the only firearms commonly owned by French people, and the number of gun owners is decreasing as more and more people move to cities.
There is an aspect of the November 13th tragedy and the way it has been handled that has not really been discussed, but that I believe should be addressed. With very few, short-lived exceptions, the USA never faced terrorism on its soil until 9/11, which was very traumatic and rightfully so. No similar terrorist attack, except at a much lower scale, has happened there before or after. By contrast, France and other European countries have had to deal with serious terrorist attacks over a period of years, or even decades. Keep in mind that WWI started because of a terrorist attack by an anarchist in the Balkans. In recent years, France experienced severe terrorism between 1955 and 1965, with several attempts to kill President Charles de Gaulle over the independence war of Algeria, especially because of the virulent reaction of Europeans living there. In the 1970s the French anarchist group Action Directe launched several attacks, twice killing prominent French leaders, while Germany and Italy had to deal with much larger anarchist groups. Shortly after that came terrorist attacks launched by Palestinians, and later by radical Muslims. The most recent major attacks, until last month, were bombings in the RER B at the Port Royal and Saint Michel stations in 1995 and 1996, part of a wave of terrorist attacks that started with the bombing of the FNAC store on the Rue de Rennes near the Montparnasse train station in 1986. Thus it had been nearly 20 years since the last French experience with a full-blown terrorist campaign, and the November attacks clearly took the population by surprise.
When 9/11 occurred, the closest thing Americans had to compare it to was Pearl Harbor, which was clearly an act of war against the American Navy. France has had a completely different experience of terrorism, and we can already see that the political and security measures taken in response to the latest attacks are very different. We all need to fight terrorism, and yes, it requires the use of the police, the army and the intelligence services. One thing is certain: in France we see terrorism and war fought on a battlefield as two totally different things, which must be addressed quite differently.
ADVERTISING AND BILLBOARDS
Until very recently, authorities at all levels in France have been passive regarding billboards, leaving cities and the advertisement industry to work together - one offering space for the billboads and the other managing them and syndicating their content. Nobody would have thought that billboard advertising could be seen as pollution.
More and more cities, however, are now banning billboards, either in the city center or within the entire city limits, as in Bordeaux and Grenoble. And a law was passed this past summer proscribing billboards at the entrance of cities of fewer than 10,000 inhabitants.
It is clear that this is the start of a trend that will soon affect all major French cities. It is also part of a much larger trend in which advertising in all its forms is something the public does not like and wants to be protected from. A recent poll showed 32% of respondents objecting to having ads put in mailboxes, for example. Advertising professionals must increasingly take this type of rejection into consideration.
A related trend concerns the way many people now watch TV through cables managed by Internet providers. On the Internet itself, people increasingly use software to block ads: 27% of French Internet users have installed such software. That percentage is one of the highest in the world, indicating that the French advertising industry needs to address this issue sooner rather than later if it wants to stay on the same page or webpage - as the public. It has reached the point that some sites paid for by advertising are looking into giving up this financing and charging users instead, promising in return not to inflict any ads on them.
They could look to Mediapart as an example. This French online investigative and opinion journal has never carried advertising, relying on subscriptions. Created in 2008 by Edwy Plenel, the former editor-in-chief of Le Monde, and three other former print journalists, Mediapart is published in English, French and Spanish. It has become a major player in the news media, coming up with scoops in a way the competition cannot match. It reached break-even point in 2010, and in 2011 made its first profit: 500,000 from around 60,000 subscribers. Mediapart played a key role in revealing and investigating two major French political scandals: the Bettencourt affair in 2010 and the Cahuzac case in 2012.
A related development is the growth of digital marketing, using social media and other outlets to carry on a sort of dialogue with individual consumers. This raises a lot of issues. The amount of data that corporations gather on individuals scares both the individuals themselves and the authorities, notably the Commission Nationale de l'Informatique et des Libertés (National Commission on Informatics and Liberties, CNIL), the independent French administrative regulatory body whose mission is to ensure that data privacy law is applied to the collection, storage and use of personal data. Established by the law on Information Technology, Data Files and Civil Liberty of January 6th 1978, it is the national data protection authority.
The trend, in France as elsewhere, is to trust customer reviews more than anything, which creates a great temptation to tamper with the system by, for example, paying people to write fake flattering reviews. Companies are learning some of them the hard way that it is better to open a dialogue with customers and address their criticisms than to swamp review sites with favorable opinons. Nowadays a surfeit of excellent reviews just makes people suspicious about their authenticity.
Probably the most powerful response of the advertising industry to new media trends is the sharing of links between major players. For example, when you make an inquiry on Amazon, you will soon see ads about similar products on your Facebook wall, not to mention the products Amazon proposes to you when reaching the payment page based on data analysis of previous purchases.
In France, the CNIL monitors the use and sharing of private information, and individuals have the right to verify the accuracy of the information. In addition, some types of information are illegal to collect and use, even for research. But I am not sure the CNIL will maintain this tight position, considering the wave that is coming over the Internet.

CONTROLS AT FRANCE'S BORDERS IN DECEMBER
France is hosting the world climate change conference, COP21, from November 30th to December 11th. Since November 20th, 600 border control stations have been set up for a month to keep track of who enters France. It is expected that a lot of people will want to take advantage of this event to demonstrate, creating chaos, violence, traffic jams and so on in and around the conference site at Le Bourget. There is also serious concern about the potential for more terrorist attacks from a variety of groups.
I have often mentioned that for travel within the Schengen area no one is checked at the French borders, but there are police squads in trains, at rest places on highways and in airports, who ask to check ID. My experience is that until recently those controls were mostly done near the Spanish and Italian borders, where a lot of undocumented aliens enter France, and at the Belgium border to look for drug smugglers coming from the Netherlands.
Now, however, undocumented aliens living in France should avoid traveling for the rest of this year, other than taking commuter trains to go to work and even there the scrutiny is increased. The chances of getting caught are currently quite high. If you are an undocumented alien working for a family and are expected to accompany your employers on their Christmas vacation even when traveling in the same car think again, and inform your employers. They also run a serious risk as employers of an undocumented alien.
The recent events have seen an unprecedented number of police and army forces being deployed, first in the Paris region and then all over France. The message that was sent before these events was already enough to alert people to this; now surveillance measures are much more invasive. Spread the news.

NEW FRENCH LAW LIMITS WHICH DOCUMENTS TENANTS GIVE TO LANDLORDS
When I talk about living in Paris as a tenant, I often start by reminding readers that it still takes about three years to expel a non-paying tenant, which is totally excessive for a private landlord who has a couple of properties rented and relies on this income to pay his or her bills. I believe the system will never work properly until this issue is truly addressed. Not all landlords are so wealthy that they can go several years without rent and not have a cash flow problem.
While I totally agree that most of the landlords' demands are outrageous and unacceptable, and it should be possible to limit these demands, it is also true that the natural desire to limit and even decrease the size and the nature of the risk a landlord takes when signing a lease should not be overlooked.
The recently Décret n°2015-1437, passed on November 5th sets forth the documents that a landlord can legally require you to provide:
ID AND ADDRESS
Identification can be a passport, carte nationale d'identité, driver's license or titre de séjour. Proof of current address may also be demanded; this can be the last three rent receipts (quittances de loyer), the last local tax statement (taxe foncière or taxe d'habitation) , or an affidavit of lodging.
PROOF OF SOLVENCY
Depending on the situation, this can be a work contract, a business registration such as the K-bis document, INSEE registration for self-employed professionals or a student card for students, along with the latest income tax statement (avis d'imposition sur les revenus). In some situations the landlord may also demand other documents, such as the last three pay slips, last two year-end accounting reports, title of real estate rented or CAF statements showing the amount of money received.
Note that it is now forbidden to demand that prospective tenants provide a RIB in order to set up an automatic rent payment, or a livret de famille attesting to such events as a couple's marriage and birth of children.
As usual, French law also defines the penalties for those not complying with the law, in this case up to 3,000 € for an individual and 15,000 € for a corporation.
In short, the government is sending a strong message, yet it comes at a time when there are so many candidates for every available Parisian apartment that no one will report non-compliance for fear of being blacklisted or having one's file being put at the bottom of the pile.
For more on this issue (in French), see http://www.lemonde.fr/immobilier/article/2015/11/12/location-la-loi-limite-les-documents-exigibles-par-le-proprietaire_4808289_1306281.html#TLxlhY191IFKMsIR.99
FRENCH BANK CHECKS ON THEIR WAY OUT
The French government wants to speed up the phasing out of bank checks and increases even more the use of debit cards. In 2016, the validity of a French bank check will decrease from one year to six months. The use of checks declines every year by 5%; in 2014 checks were used for about 13% of all transactions, one of the highest ratios in Europe. The authorities want debit cards to be accepted for any amount, regardless of how small it may be, which is reasonable only if bank fees per transaction go down. The goal is bank commissions of 0.2% to 0.3%. France has quite high commissions, between 0.5% and 0.8%, so there is room for improvement.
Using a check allows immediate payment without mechanical means, which is why so many professionals outside the medical professions push for this method of payment. An alternative is to enable more people to use automatic payments (prélévements), with the beneficiary of the payment initiating the transfer, making this method as safe as a check. Very few companies — mainly utility companies and Internet/phone providers — are currenty allowed to set up such payments. In the public sector, making all payments should be possible in this way, including those made to hospitals, school cafeterias and day-care centers. Small businesses, however, will never have access to this method because of the logistics of getting clearance from all banks operating in France. So small businesses like mine will continue to rely on checks for the type of payment that occurs at the end of an appointment with the doctor, plumber, lawyer, etc. France still has a lot of these one-person businesses, and finding an alternative to paying by check is going to be complicated.
I expect the banks to resist this change, but at the same time, the Internet allows more modern means of payment, such as PayPal. Eventually French banks may prefer to lower their commissions rather lose the transactions altogether.

I NOW HAVE A PAYPAL ACCOUNT qa@jeantaquet.com
I would like to remind my readers and clients that I have a PayPal account. My business is too small to accept credit cards or handle prélévements. But I already have some clients pay my fees through PayPal at the end of the meeting. I see this becoming the best substitute for paying by check, especially foreign checks.
OFFICE CLOSED FOR CHRISTMAS
The office will close for two weeks for Christmas, starting on Friday December 18th, and reopen on Monday January 4th. As always, I will be reachable by email for emergencies and important matters. The service I offer of receiving mail for clients will continue while the office is closed.
I would like to remind everyone that there is no January issue.
BUYING REAL ESTATE IN FRANCE WITH A RELATIVE
I am American and now have French nationality as well thanks to my husband. Several years ago, we were able to buy the Parisian apartment we were renting. Now my upstairs neighbor wants to sell his apartment. My mother would like to visit us more often and have her own place but she cannot pay the purchase price and maintenance, and would like to buy it with me as well as rent it out when she is not there. I am not interested in managing a short-term rental usage of this apartment right above my head! It is a small three-room apartment. What would be the right solution for all of us?
I have helped many people in such situations. Usually the people caught in this kind of situation are foreigners, generally Americans, who live in France but lack immigration documentation and therefore cannot claim that they reside in France. They buy a round-trip ticket starting in France. Going from France to the USA, there is usually no problem; the French authorities do not care about an American leaving and the USA sees a citizen coming in. Now, going from the USA to France, the same people look like tourists with a round trip started in France, and therefore a single ticket going to France, when the tourist status demands a round trip back home in this case, the USA. In this situation, nothing can be done; they cannot claim illegal immigrant status in France to explain the problem.
There is currently another factor that the general public does not know about. To prevent refugees from leaving their country right away by plane, countries have made airlines responsible for checking passengers' immigration status, especially their legal right to enter the country of destination as well as any transit country.
I believe that in your case, however, you should have a way out. Allow me to explain.
1 - Airlines are fined for transporting illegal aliens
For example, a Togolese citizen travels on Air France to Paris with fake immigration documents of excellent quality. At Lome, in Togo, he was able to board the plane since everything appeared to be legal. He arrives at Charles de Gaulle airport and goes through the French police check, and it is only then that the authorities discover that the documents are fake. Because of this, Air France is fined several thousand euros. The key question in this scenario is how Air France is supposed to know the documents were fake if they lack access to equipment enabling them to discover fakes? The question then might be whether it would be reasonable to equip African airports with similar technology. Could it be used to forge documents?
This shift of responsibility to the airlines is now the rule, with the amount of fine depending on the country. Nevertheless, in your case, your passport alone allows you to enter France without any questions asked by the French police. It is important to remember that.
2 - American airlines have gone a step further
I have never been in a position to get complete confirmation but it seems that US-based airlines have an extra obligation. They claim that the US government fines them if they are aware that a passager is an illegal resident of a foreign country or if they help such a person to travel. They are then considered to be an accomplice of an illegal stay. I find this very hard to believe, but I often see the consequences of such a position with all the American airlines. As an illustration, say that an American citizen travels from New York to Paris on an American carrier without the appropriate French immigration documentation and does not have a return ticket to the USA; the airline says the federal government can fine them because France could sue the USA on this issue. It is plain insane, considering how the French police address the immigration status of American citizens at the airport, but this is the logic behind your incident.
3 - What happened to you
The airline followed this logic exactly, to its end. They decided you did not have a right to come to France on a one-way ticket since you could not prove you had a legal right to live in France. In order to avoid being sentenced as an accomplice, they had to force you to buy the flight back to the USA, since you could only prove that you were American.
This analysis is faulty on several grounds, and you could use that to challenge the company and maybe get reimbursed:
a - You are French!
You showed them an outdated carte nationale d'identité. This is not a passport, BUT only a French citizen can obtain one, so it proves you are a French citizen. The conclusion is that it is impossible for you to be an undocumented alien in your country of citizenship, France. To be very technical, you hold a valid American passport and you choose to travel with this document to identify yourself to the various authorities you will encounter during the trip. This is very important, since American legislation demands it and the consequences of not doing it are severe. On the other hand, France has similar legislation that is never applied to Americans as far as I know.
The airline employees, for their part, have an obligation, according to this regulation, to make sure you prove that you have a legal right to stay in France. This can be done by several means. If the employees serving a flight going to Paris cannot read a French ID like the CNI, the airline is doing something wrong.
b - Your identity card was actually valid
As of January 1st 2014, the validity of the CNI was extended from 10 years to 15. To the airline employees the fact that your CNI was outdated by a few weeks indicated that you might have lost your French citizenship (as if it were that simple to lose one's nationality!). I understand that you did not know that a new law had extended the validity of this card, and it is somewhat OK for you not to know, but it was a major error on the part of the airline, whose employees should definitely have known that the card was still valid. The French administration has communicated extensively with the airlines serving France, as well as with the other EU governments and so on.
This is the legal analysis, but the fact of the matter is that many American companies have lost the desire to please customers and are now worse than the average French company, which is really saying something. Phone and Internet providers, airlines, banks and insurance companies are often mentioned in the media as having very poor customer satisfaction ratings.
I am really not sure that you will be able to speak to someone at the airline who has the ability and capacity to deal with the situation properly, acknowledge the error made and issue a reimbursement. Too often, people who need that kind of service end up in a maze. So good luck getting your money back. In the meantime, renew your CNI it could be useful.

Series: The Penguin English Library
William Hootkins (Read by)
Penguin Classics presents Herman Melville's Moby-Dick, adapted for audio and available as a digital download as part of the Penguin English Library series. Read by the actor William Hootkins.
'The frail gunwales bent in, collapsed, and snapped, as both jaws, like an enormous shears, sliding further aft, bit the craft completely in twain...'
Moby-Dick is one of the most expansive feats of imagination in the whole of literature: the mad, raging, Shakespearean tale of Captain Ahab's insane quest to kill a giant white whale that has taken his leg, and upon which he has sworn vengeance, at any cost. A creation unlike any other, this is an epic story of fatal monomania and the deepest dreams and obsessions of mankind.
Part of a series of vintage recordings taken from the Penguin Archives. Affordable, collectable, quality productions - perfect for on-the-go listening.

Wilkie Collins
Herman Melville (1819-91) became in his late twenties a highly successful author of exotic novels based on his experiences as a sailor - writing in quick succession Typee, Omoo, Redburn and White-Jacket. However, his masterpiece Moby-Dick was met with incomprehension and the other later works which are now the basis of his reputation, such as Bartleby, the Scrivener and The Confidence-Man, were failures. Melville stopped writing fiction and the rest of his long life was spent first as a lecturer and then, for nineteen years, as a customs official in New York City. He was also the author of the immensely long poem Clarel, which was similarly dismissed. At the end of his life he wrote Billy Budd, Sailor which was published posthumously in 1924.

Q: Firmar un string con algoritmo RSA SHA1 sign desde C# estoy intentando firmar un string con el algoritmo RSA SHA1 usando la llave privada que me dan para consumir una API.
He intentando varias cosas y ninguna me ha dado un resultado correcto, ya que al intentar hacer un request a la API me retornan un codigo de error de que la firma es invalida o mal generada.
La idea es :
1) Concatenar los datos que recibo.
2) Firmarlos con el algoritmo que me especifican y la private key otorgada.
3) Convertir a string estos datos y enviarlos
Lo que he probado hasta ahora fue:
RSACryptoServiceProvider rsa = new RSACryptoServiceProvider();
byte[] datosAFirmarByte = ByteConverter.GetBytes(datosAFirmar);

RSAParameters rsaParametros = rsa.ExportParameters(false);
rsaParametros.Modulus = Convert.FromBase64String(privada);
rsa.ImportParameters(rsaParametros);

try
    {
      byte[]signedbytes=rsa.SignData(datosAFirmarByte,CryptoConfig.MapNameToOID("SHA1"));
      return Convert.ToBase64String(signedbytes);
    }
catch (Exception e)
    {
      throw new Exception(e.Message);
    }

Mi sospecha (y que no he encontrado nada en internet de como hacerlo), es que le estoy pasando mal la private key al CryptoProvider.
Muchas gracias por la respuesta.
Saludos.

The Loudspeaker, last and the most critical components of a Stereo chain, has the task of playing a musical recording in order to rebuild in the perception of the listener, an identical spatial sound image in the different 3D plans it would feel live.
The Sound, in fact, should spread in space in all imaginable Dimensions, engulfing the Loudspeakers, making them invisible to the hearing. The desire to understand why the 3D AUDIO EFFECT expressed above, are not always present in listening through the HI-FI Systems Speakers, prompted me to do some research. Finally some auditory perceptions, led me to learn more about Timbre, Harmonics, Dispersion, Directivity, and Perspective of Sound.
What you read and see in these pages is the result of my research.
The Speakers System SLATE, that I made in year 1988, is the first prototype related to the issues mentioned above. If you look closely at this System on the right, you will notice a rare geometric arrangement of Tweeters on the front panel.
On the page that follows, is described the Speaker System AURA 3D Audio Effect. I'm sure that this page will stimulate your curiosity.

A Silk Top wig is one that is made of hand-tied monofilament, and then has an additional protective layer of material added to the wig. In the case of Shyla by Envy (HERE), this is a French Silk Chiffon. It makes Shyla very smooth on the inside, but also limits the stretch of the wig, making it unsuitable for extended sizes.
These are premium products and tend to carry very high-end prices as a result.

Parade, ceremony to honor local veterans
Published 2:00 am Saturday, November 8, 2008
Countless sacrifices have been made by individuals throughout Covington County to ensure that our freedom remains secure.
Area residents are invited to join a celebration to honor those families in downtown Andalusia Tuesday.
The Fifth Annual Covington County Veteran's Day Parade and POW/MIA Ceremony will begin at 9 a.m. Tuesday at Andalusia High School and will end at the Covington County Veterans Memorial Park behind Andalusia City Hall.
Veterans will begin meeting at 8:30 a.m. in the Andalusia High School parking lot to occupy several floats representing World War II, Korean War, Vietnam War, Cold War, Desert Storm War, Operation Enduring Freedom War and Operation Iraqi Freedom War.
Ashley Eiland, executive vice president of the Andalusia Area Chamber of Commerce, said family and friends of the veterans are invited to the parking lot for a meet and greet before the parade begins.
"We will be accepting all veterans, family members of veterans and anyone who would like to join us in that part," she said. "The chamber certainly wants to encourage all of the residents to join us in honoring all veterans, young and old, that have and continue to fight for the freedoms we enjoy."
In addition to the floats the parade will also feature musical entertainment from the Straughn High School "Sound of Gold" marching band, the Opp High School "Marching Black and Gold," the Andalusia High School "A Sound Tradition" marching band and the Fort Rucker 98th Army Band.
Following the parade a veterans' memorial service will be held in Covington County Veterans Memorial Park located behind city hall.
Major Michael Tomberlin, a graduate of Andalusia High School and veteran of Operation Enduring Freedom in Afghanistan, will be the guest speaker for the event.
John Givhan, who served as an Army helicopter pilot during the Vietnam War, said residents should seize the opportunity to attend Tuesday's event and meet some of those who fought for our nation's freedom.
"Please participate in this patriotic (and) educational, endeavor," he said. "Please be there for the parade and then remain for the ceremony that will include a keynote speaker, the 98th Army Band, a firing team and recognition of all veterans both living and dead."
Givhan said the event is equally important for the veterans who will attend to ride floats and the families of the veterans who will not be able to witness the event.
"Being a part of this day, especially children and young people, is paramount," he said. "Meeting and appreciating a veteran is a one of a kind treat for a veteran. This Vietnam War helicopter pilot veteran can attest to that. When a young person says 'welcome home' to me, my old wrinkled face transforms into a smile."
A reception, sponsored by Covington County Commission, will follow the memorial service on the second floor of city hall.

Opp couple jailed for robbery


Edited by Helina Hakkanen-Nyholm, Jan-Olof Nyholm. Singapore: Wiley-Blackwell, 2012. 292 pp. $48.85 (paperback).
Psychopathy is a central topic in the practice of forensic psychiatry. There are several excellent books on the subject, with more being published each year. Some of these books, however, are quite weighty and comprehensive and seem better suited for academics and researchers than for busy clinicians. Psychopathy and Law: A Practitioner's Guide is not one of those books.
Editors Hakkanen-Nyholm and Nyholm make clear that their goal is to try to build a bridge between the academic and professional worlds by providing an integration of topics that have immediate practical application, but are grounded in an empirical and theoretical approach. The target audience is broad, extending beyond mental health professionals to include practitioners from any field that may involve contact with psychopathic individuals. The goal is certainly a laudable one and, on initial inspection of the 13 concise chapters contained in just under 300 pages, the book has great appeal to the busy clinician. The thought that here is a book that can be read cover to cover immediately springs to mind. However, the concise nature of the chapters, which are generally 20 pages or fewer in length, made this an easy book to read in a piecemeal fashion. The book is nicely laid out, with case examples in text boxes sprinkled throughout the chapters. The editors have aimed for breadth of coverage, and the content scope runs from a review of the neurobiology of psychopathy to practical tips for interviewing psychopaths. True to their goal, the editors have limited the biological and neuropsychological empirical findings and theoretical perspectives to only two chapters. The remaining chapters cover topics that are potentially relevant to practitioners dealing with psychopathic individuals.
Given the appeal of the book after my initial perusal, I really wanted to like it. Reading through it, however, I found excellent chapters interspersed with ones that are uneven or that go beyond the available research. As is true of many books with multiple authors, the writing is uneven. Styles range from a simple summary rendering of the research to much more engaging writing that presents data interspersed with parenthetical comments and opinions that highlight the practical experience of the chapter's author.
The first three chapters on the assessment of psychopathy, psychopathy and brain function, and cognition–emotion interactions in psychopathy provide good summaries, although I suspect that these topics are covered capably in other recent books on psychopathy. The editors aim to differentiate this book from the others, and it is the remainder of the chapters that bear examination to see if this goal is met.
Some of the other chapters are highly informative and provide practical knowledge. Chapters reviewing the specific manifestations of psychopathy in women, psychopathic features in adolescence, and an examination of predatory violence in psychopathy are compact but on point and convey information one could contemplate in the next encounter with a psychopathic patient or examinee. There were other chapters on psychopathy and violent crime, psychopathy and criminal career trajectory, and psychopathy in prisons that convey little practical and useful information and data, which could be more productively obtained from other sources on these topics such as key review articles in the research literature.
The most interesting chapter in Psychopathy and Law: A Practitioner's Guide is the final one on interpersonal aspects and interviewing psychopaths, authored by the book's editors. The practical implications of the interpersonal behavior, deception and manipulation, and violence threat of psychopathic individuals is reviewed. The authors provide 11 practical tips for interviewing psychopathic individuals that highlight the need to understand the construct of psychopathy so that one can conduct efficient, effective, and safe interviews with these types of patients or examinees. Although some of their practical tips may seem basic, the editors raise awareness of the need to be reflective and mindful of the particular challenges that should be explicitly considered when interviewing psychopathic individuals.
On balance, the editors achieve their goal of producing a practical, useful book on psychopathy. For a busy clinician who plans to read chapters of interest selectively, this book provides an accessible means of obtaining knowledge of key points and ideas on the different aspects of psychopathy. It is not a reference for psychopathy but instead is a source for quick review of topics, some of which are likely to apply directly to current clinical practice.

Smart assistants to triple by 2023 to 8bn
By Alana Foster2019-02-12T14:15:00+00:00
Smart TVs to grow 100% every year for next five years
Digital voice assistants to drive 'smart' appliance usage
Standalone smart apps to fall in key markets from 2022
The global usage of smart digital assistants is set to gather pace over the next five years, reaching 8 billion devices with Google and Amazon established as the leaders.
Voice assistants to triple in use by 2023
The application of smart TVs is estimated to grow over 100% every year for the next five years, marking the biggest expansion of smart devices globally.
Digital voice assistants will triple in use by 2023 surging to over 8 billion devices, up from an estimated 2.5 billion at the end of 2018, according to a new report by Juniper Research.
The report highlighted that Google and Amazon are leading the surge of smart home devices with its dedicated investment in artificial intelligence (AI) capabilities to lead the market in digital voice assistants.
Juniper found the smart voice assistants adoption has been the fastest growing trend in consumer technology with the highest compound annual growth.
The fastest growing voice assistant categories over the next five years include:
Smart TVs at 121.3%
Smart speakers at 41.3%
Wearables at 40.2%
Amazon's Alexa has firmly established itself as the leader, setting the pace for the market, according to Juniper Research senior analyst and research author James Moar pointed to Chinese companies that will make inroads internationally in the future.

Several internet giants are set to launch their own hardware devices this year, starting with Chinese WeChat set to market later in 2019.
As demand for multi-platform assistants increases, standalone apps, made by independent vendors for smartphones and tablets, will decline.
Juniper expects revenues from these apps to begin to fall in key markets from 2022.
The report highlighted that voice commerce will substantially grow by 2023, reaching over $80 billion per annum, which also includes money transfer and purchasing of digital goods.
Moar said: "We expect the majority of voice commerce to be digital purchases, until digital assistants offer truly seamless cross-platform experiences.
"Connected TVs and smart displays are vital here, as they can provide a visual context that is lacking in smart speakers."
Juniper followed the consumer and enterprise voice assistant key players including Alibaba, Amazon, Apple, Baidu, Google and IBM among others to bench march the global industry forecast.
The Amazon effect
Amazon launched its smart speaker, the Echo in 2014 leaving Apple, Facebook, Google, Samsung and Microsoft to follow releasing their own respective digital assistants across its platforms.
The company's range of smart home devices has since exploded and it now makes internet-connected clocks, microwaves, plugs and door locks.
Amazon is positioning itself as the supplier of almost every 'smart' device in the home.

Continuing this trend, Amazon announced yesterday that it has agreed to buy Eero, a San Francisco-based maker of mesh-networked Wi-Fi routers.
Eero first launched in 2015 and quickly became known for its robust stability and simple to use. Amazon hardware executive Dave Limp called out in an official press release today. Neither company has disclosed the terms of the deal; Eero, to date, has raised around $90 million in venture capital funding.
Celebrities and influencers such as Serena Williams and Arnold Schwarzenegger will begin airing short-form programmes on Snapchat in a move to extend audience engagement ad monetise video content.
HBO has unveiled its new direct-to-consumer streaming service, which will be launched in 2020 and is set to offer legacy favourites and original content.
Amazon and Google reach truce over SVOD platforms
Amazon and Google have ended a long-running dispute that limited access to each other's on-demand services on their respective TV platforms.

Nov 4 Oooh, I Remember Now!!!
I've recently been giving historical romances more of a chance. I have now read a good number of them this past year and I remember why I always had a problem with them- they don't mix it up when it comes to the characters. The main characters are always white who are either rich or poor and are trying to make themselves better, blah blah blah. My problem is I want romances from different time periods with characters from different parts of the world and different cultures. But that seems to be hard to find. I don't know the demand for those types of books but I think it would be a good idea. I would love a romance that took place in the Xia dynasty or Pradyota dynasty orAztec era Mexico or an Ancient Middle East romance- I could go on and on. Shake it up a little!
I blame my obsession with different cultures on American Girl Dolls. I was obsessed with the history and cultures the dolls came with and how that shaped their lives (I know- I was a strange child). However, as an adult, I've realized how little different cultures play into the world of books (Yes, it's getting better but I'm impatient). I've found myself actively searching for books that are about completely different worlds than I am used. I can't tell you how excited I was when I came across Navajo Nights at a library book sale.
I love historical fiction I just wish I could find more of it from other cultures. I have managed to hoard a small collection of historical romances that take place in different parts of the world but it is, like I said- small. I have also managed to find a few historical fiction books that DO NOT take place during WWII. Do people know there are other times periods to write about besides WWII!?!?! Good god!
Now, just to be clear, this little rant of mine does not mean that I did not enjoy the European historical romance/fiction books I have read this year. I have found authors that have been immediately added to my Auto-Buy list (I don't think I could live without Shana Galen, Eloisa James, and Kerrigan Byrne. Those are just three of the authors that I have fallen in love with this year). It just means I want to read other stories because there are other stories out there! The whole Nordic Viking, European, aristocrat thing has been done- a lot- I mean, I will still be reading those books because I love the authors- I just want to read something else too. Is that too much to ask?

Chief of Police Jim Sizemore
Prestonsburg Police Department
Prestonsburg Police Department, Kentucky
End of Watch Saturday, September 11, 1926
Jim Sizemore
Chief Jim Sizemore was shot and killed in the county courthouse by a man who was seeking revenge against the chief for an incident that had occurred several months earlier.
The man's father and uncle had been shot and killed in a shooting two months earlier when another officer attempted to arrest one of the men. The man's family attacked the officer and beat him. As one of the family members sat on the officer, another family member shot at the officer, but accidentally fatally shot the family member.
During the ensuing shooting, the other family member was killed. The suspect who shot Chief Sizemore had blamed the chief for not preventing the incident.
The two men were eventually acquitted after the county attempted to hold a trial but could not find jurors not already informed of the events. The county ran out of funds for the cost of the trial before they could start.
Chief Sizemore was survived by his wife and six children.

Beverly C. Mellon Sr, was the Floyd County US Deputy Marshall and killed on Duty. Beverly Mellon jr. shot Jim Sizemore in self-defense on testimony and he was acquitted in trial. He became a Special Police Officer afterward stopping crooked officers like his father. Beverly Mellon Sr. was known for stopping Police Officers that had gone too far with their badge. Eastern Kentucky was a rough place in the 1920s. Thank you to our US Deputy Marshals and Police Officers for there service, sacrifice, and hard work!

Sprite & Dale's grilled chicken is our hands down favorite grilled chicken recipe. Everyone loves it, and it is the easiest recipe ever!
If you are looking for a quick and delicious marinade, look no further. I found this recipe years ago (it was originally for turkey tenderloins), and it now my go-to recipe for grilled chicken.
Since I keep a large bag of frozen chicken tenderloins in the freezer, I make this often. The chicken is best if marinaded overnight, but it will also be good with a day-long soak.
The key ingredient, Dale's Seasoning, is hugely popular in the South and really is a miracle seasoning. Even a short marinade in Dales will yield huge flavor. Dale's is similar to soy sauce but much more complex. It is very high in sodium, so I buy the lower sodium version.
This chicken is great the next day, and I often make a large batch so that my family can carry leftovers to school. We love serving the chicken with our favorite Bob Gibson's white sauce. If you've never tried white barbecue sauce, you must! It is the perfect sauce for grilled poultry and barbecue brisket, beef & pork.
This marinade is also used for another of our favorites~Grilled Turkey Mignons. If you can find turkey tenderloins in your grocery, you should definitely give these a try.
My favorite marinade and my family's favorite chicken! Easy and delicious!
Mix sprite, oil, and Dales until well combined.
Pour over chicken and marinade overnight; turn occasionally to coat both sides.
Grill chicken over medium coals until internal temperature reaches at least 165 degrees.
Accompaniments: Two of my favorite sides for this chicken are twice baked potatoes and a simple chopped salad with one of our favorite dressings, Makoto Honey Ginger Dressing. I am addicted to this dressing. It tastes as good or better than the ginger dressings served on salads at Japanese steak houses. It is so fresh and light tasting on iceberg lettuce (like they serve at Japanese steakhouses) and goes so well with grilled chicken.
I'd love to hear from you if you try the chicken, so please leave comments! It really is a family favorite that I love sharing. Thanks so much for stopping by. Be blessed, and stay savvy!
Hi there! Interestingly, this is one recipe that I only make when I know that I'll be able to grill it. The heat/flames/smoke along with the marinade are what lend the huge flavor. But if you try another method that tastes good, please share! I would suppose that the next best thing to grilling might be searing in cast iron and finishing in an oven.
Wow, this looks fabulous. Question: If you're at a location where cooking on a grill isn't possible, what do suggest? Thank you in advance.

Oh my goodness, this day is just so much fun. Now there is not an official craft day, even though I totally think there should be. But it is something that you can make a special part of your Christmas with your family and friends. Set time aside one day to just listen to Christmas music, eat Christmas cookies, drink hot coco and get crafty. My mom has always been an incredibly crafty mom, so growing up my brother and I often got "crafty" presents and we were always encouraged to draw, paint, color, cut, paste, anything crafty that got us away from our every absorbing technology. To this day I am still drawing, or doodling I should probably say. It's a great way to release any tension or stress and just come back down to Earth. We are constantly running around like crazy people, trying to accomplish all of the things we have going on. Now, while that must be done it is also really important to allow yourself to calm down and relax. But, back to my point.
There are so many different things you can do during your craft day. You can make snowflakes and hang them in your window, you can make Christmas ornaments or maybe Christmas cards for you loved ones, there are endless options, from cute to chic. All depending on what you are looking for.
During the month of November I decided to buy some cute paper for making Christmas stars. Now I have either never made these before, otherwise I definitely cannot remember, and it showed in my attempt… It didn't exactly go as I had hoped. I tried on my own at first with the instructions I had, didn't work out. I tried FaceTiming my mom and she really tried to explain it to me as well as she could but it just didn't work. So I decided to give it a little break and the try again later. During my next attempted I decided to search for Google videos, I got somewhere but in the end, it didn't work out. I am no crafting genie, clearly, so I decided I would wait until I was back with mama and grandma so we could all craft together.
I am much better at cutting snowflakes or making Christmas cards. But I'm even better at just eating the cookies and drinking the hot coco during these Christmas events :P.
The magical moment I finished my first Christmas Star 2 years ago!
