On August 1, the IRS issued its first set of proposed regulations under the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA). These regulations interpret and apply the Sec. 965 transition tax, which levies a one-time tax on deferred earnings of U.S.-owned foreign corporations (specified foreign corporations, or SFCs) at reduced rates. Since many taxpayers will be required to report the impact of Sec. 965 on their 2017 tax returns, these regulations are of immediate relevance.
Fortunately, we've seen a preview of these regulations in a trio of IRS Notices and a Revenue Procedure released since the enactment of Sec. 965 as part of the TCJA. By and large, the proposed regulations affirm the interpretations of Sec. 965 provided in those Notices, including rules on determining earnings and profits (E&P), calculating cash equivalent balances, disregarding certain intercompany transactions, calculating the Sec. 965(c) participation exemption, and determining the allowable foreign tax credit.
Sec. 861 expense allocations may not consider the Sec. 965(c) deduction as making toll-charge income exempt or excluded. Substantial questions, however, remain, about how Sec. 861 should be applied against the toll-charge and in future years.
Distributions of PTI created by allocation of an E&P deficit (so-called Sec. 965(b) PTI) will not trigger Sec. 986(c) foreign currency gain or loss. The regulations do not, however, provide for how a distribution of PTI will be allocated between Sec. 965(a) and Sec. 965(b) PTI where both exist in the same SFC.
The IRS clarified when underpayments of any installment could accelerate the remaining installments. If taxpayers underpay on an installment for reasons other than neglect, fraud, or intentional disregard, the deficiency is generally allocated to future installments. If the taxpayer fails to make a payment, or if an underpayment is due to neglect, fraud, or intentional disregard, the remaining installments may be accelerated.
The regulations include substantial procedural rules on how a deferred Sec. 965 liability can be transferred from one taxpayer to another upon certain acceleration events that would otherwise cause any unpaid installments to become immediately due.
Affiliated but non-consolidated corporations subject to Sec. 965 may share unused SFC E&P deficits if one of the corporations' SFCs have a net E&P deficit.
Taxpayers will increase their basis in stock of SFCs under Sec. 961 for the amount of the Sec. 965(a) inclusion. The regulations also provide an election to increase basis in stock of an SFC with positive E&P by the amount of any Sec. 965(b) deficit allocation and decrease basis in deficit SFCs by the same amount.
The IRS reiterated the anti-abuse rules previously outlined in the Notices, whereby certain transactions or elections may be disregarded for purposes of calculating the tax liability associated with Sec. 965. For example, any change in accounting method made for an SFC during a year ending in 2017 or 2018 is disregarded for purposes of calculating the toll charge. Similarly, any check-the-box election filed on or after November 2, 2017, is ignored.
In addition to these company-focused provisions, the regulations provide that, for individuals, estates, and trusts subject to both the Sec. 965 and the Sec. 1411 net investment income tax of 3.8 percent, the Sec. 1411 tax is levied against the Sec. 965(a) inclusion amount without reduction for the Sec. 965(c) participation exemption. Such tax may, however, be deferred until the earnings subject to Sec. 965 are distributed to the taxpayer.
While the regulations are not in force, they are the best guidance taxpayers will likely have before filing their 2017 returns. Taxpayers must now make decisions on any open questions and finalize their Sec. 965 calculations. This package of regulations confirms our concerns about further complexity and reaffirms the need for appropriate technology and tools to address these challenges. Over the coming weeks, we discuss additional insights gleaned from these regulations.
As April 17 quickly approaches, the stakes are higher than ever as many companies face head-on the new transition tax on unrepatriated foreign earnings, or, as we have affectionately come to know it as, the toll charge.

For me, it's AER - Memories of Old, Omensight, Tyranny + some dlcs, White March expansion pass for my steam copy, and some dlcs for NWN:EE with one extra dlc for CK2.
Not going to link to it... but last game i bought was 'Genital Jousting' from Steam.
The last games I bought are Lords of the Fallen (game of the year edition) on Steam.
Plus Neverwinter Nights 2 Complete and also Seven: The Days Long Gone on GOG.
logical enough. You live, you affect your world. "
Abraham Lincoln: Zombie Hunter, one of the better titles this year eh.
Just what do you think you're doing?! You dare to come between me and my prey? Is it a habit of yours to scurry about, getting in the way and causing bother?
What are you still bothering me for? I'm a Knight. I'm not interested in your childish games. I need my rest.
Divine Divinity on GOG (yesterday). Owned it years ago but lost my copy.
The new Stellaris content pack is coming out today (yay!), so it'll be that in a couple of hours.
When not counting Deadfire, because I backed it long time ago, I bought at the same day Yakuza 6, and Assetto Corsa Ultimate Edition. Worth every single cent, I've spent on them.
Sent from my Stone Tablet, using Chisel-a-Talk 2000BC.
Yakuza 6. Both excited and worried in seeing how the new engine works.
Here I was, interpreting the thread title as for which games was I one of the last people buying it and playing it, measured in time (years!).
If that had been the case, I'd answered Dungeon Siege 2, which I got like a decade after its haydays, and I'm still really enjoying it a lot.
Is that a game based on the awesome Asylum movie Abraham Lincoln vs. Zombies?
Tower of Time. I backed both Deadfire and BattleTech so they don't really count.
Battle Chasers Nightwars for the switch. About 12 hours into it and really enjoying it so far. Good turned based combat and decent dungeon runs.
Have you played it much? I bought it during a sale a while ago, and the game crashes consistently after the second boss. I've tried everything I could find on the internet to fix it, but none of it worked.
No I have not gotten to play Lords of the Fallen yet, instead I got hooked and have been playing Neverwinter Nights 2 for the last couple of days.
Anyway I also been meaning to play Driftmoon and Dex, I just completely forgot that I had bought them while GOG was having a sale on May 12.
Had to go back a fair way through my emails. It's Rimworld in early April. I think I bought Breath of the Wild around the same time. I've played them for a combined 1 hour total, give or take. Yeah.
I tried playing Breath of the Wild, but.. I'm a huge fan of open world games (I even buy games only because they're open world, like Sniper: Ghost Warrior 3) and I've played a lot of them over the years. I've also enjoyed some of the Zelda games before. But I could not get into Breath of the Wild.
All the reviews have been absolutely raving about how good it is and how Nintendo is teaching everyone else how to build open worlds. In my opinion, Nintendo made almost every mistake a newcomer to world building could make: indistinct areas, instantly respawning enemies, finite vital resources, resetting world states, lots and lots of filler content instead of 'real' content, annoyingly impassable areas that you need to traverse over and over, the list goes on. Hell, I wouldn't even be surprised to see Oblivion-like level scaling in there (I never got that far before giving up).
The biggest problem for me though was the story. Or the lack of it. There was absolutely nothing there to keep me going. There was no goal, no aim, no interesting things in the distance. Just dullness. I think I played for 8-10 hours before I gave up.
Oh, and the last game I bought was.. 1nsane on GOG. I wanted Singularity too, but $30 for an eight year old game? Uh.. keep it.
Distant Worlds I think. Battletech doesn't count as I paid for that a ways back.
Dungeons & Dragons: Krynn Series and The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings - Enhanced Edition, both on GOG.com, both were on sale with big discounts.
I bought the former to complete my GOG collection of Gold Box games -- I love (A)D&D CRPG's and I am very interested in these games and the history they represent. I plan to, at some point in my life, spend a year (or however long it will take me) to "properly" play through all the Gold Box titles back to back, exporting / importing my parties between titles, etc.
And I bought TW2 for similar reasons -- I am slowly collecting the series with the intention to play through all three games back to back at some point.
Monster Hunter World for the PS4. Which I haven't touched in 2.5 months (the console as a whole I mean). Altho technically it would be FFXV Windows Edition, but that wasn't me buying a new/unplayed game.
I occasionally look at Steam and GoG and nothing appeals enough for me to spend cash on it.
Although...the other day I noticed GoG had Nox - why have I never noticed that before - and I went as far as sticking it in my shopping cart, but then changed my mind. I loved that game tho, back when. Would be fun to revisit it at some point.
Ori and the Blind Forest - I'm buying it all! Soon I will have a giant backlog.

Selkirk Pro S1G Graphite – The Pro S1G features a graphite face to reduce weight on one of Selkirks biggest headsizes to date.
The Pro S1G is for the control player who does not want to sacrifice power. What defines professional pickleball play is consistency and a range of ability. A pro pickleball player rarely makes unforced errors and wins with consistency, control, and power. We designed the Pro Series paddles for this level of Pro play. However, these elements are exactly what every recreational player needs in a performance paddle as well. If you are a Pro player or want to improve your game to become one, the Pro S1 series of paddles is for you.
The Pro S1G Graphite shares the same larger paddle area of the Pro S1C Composite series giving it one of the largest sweet spots in the industry. For the S1G, Selkirk utilized their proprietary Edge SentryTM edge guard to retain a well-balanced and lightweight paddle. With the Polymer PowerCoreTM Technology at its heart combined with the feel of the CarbonFlexTM Graphite face, this paddle will give you the touch necessary to out smart and out maneuver your opponents.

← Are You Ready to File Your Annual Report and Accounts?
In the fashion business, the copying of designs is so common that it appears to be almost accepted and normal, and when everybody is working with the same colour and style ideas, accidental similarities can easily look like copying.
From the moment celebrities are spotted wearing the latest fashion on the catwalk, designers across the world begin creating variations which eventually filter down to the high street. However, in order to avoid being sued for copyright infringement, your design must be substantially different from others.
Copyright is created automatically when a designer, as a creator of artistic work, creates a new design. To qualify, the design should be regarded as original and exhibit a degree of skill. Interpretation is related to the creation of the design itself (e.g. the garment or handbag) rather than the idea behind the design. Therefore, another designer is permitted to design their own garment or handbag, with the same idea, provided they do not directly copy or adapt yours.
Clothing designs often contain elements that are unique, and by reconstructing designs which copy these unique elements, a designer is more likely to be seen as infringing the copyright of others. However, what makes designs unique?
Colours are not generally considered unique or substantial enough to be covered, but if there are also some other close similarities combined with the colour, it can be an issue. Another point of similarity between designs is the texture and type of fabric – altering other surface details like buttons and trims can help protect you in this regard. The way the garment looks when being worn is the most likely factor to be the basis of a legal challenge – your garment will need to look different to another when worn.
The fast-moving nature of the fashion and retail sector has meant that legal actions against infringers has not been as popular as other creative industries. Retailers are ever changing their designs to keep the consumer's attention, and by the time a legal infringement action is brought, the design in question may have left the high street.
However, as counterfeit goods are becoming all too common, not just in the UK but internationally, and because it is easier, quicker and cheaper than ever to produce counterfeit goods, many designers and fashion brands are now seeing intellectual property as being important to protecting their bottom line and reputation.
New styles that are created as part of a company identity (e.g. the Burberrry check) will obviously have a longer lifespan and should be protected and enforced proactively.
Design rights protect the shape and configuration of the whole or part of an object and seek to prevent others from copying that appearance.
Certain designs are protected automatically under unregistered design rights when a new design is created. Unregistered rights seek only to prevent direct copying, so a rights-holder must be able to prove intent on the part of the other in order to succeed in an action for infringement.
In order to prove that a particular design is your creation which has been developed independently, and that you therefore own the copyright in it, a designer must ensure the date and ownership of the design can be established should this ever become necessary. This is often done by sending a photograph of the design to yourself by email. Relying on unregistered rights can be difficult to prove or enforce and whilst these rights are valuable they are therefore not always the most effective.
Our IP solicitors can help designers and fashion companies protect their innovation and creativity. If you require assistance in identifying the intellectual property in your business, or would like advice on protecting or exploiting any of your intellectual property, please do not hesitate to contact either Ismaeel Waseem or John Pickervance by email or on 0800 689 0831.

What is JavaScript?
JavaScript is referred to as an Object Oriented scripting language, which is mainly used on the Web. This is one of the core technology of World Wide Web content engineering. Mainly utilized for making web pages interactive and providing online programs and video games.
JavaScript was initially known as LiveScript, and later when it was deployed in the Netscape Navigator 2.0 beta 3, it was renamed as Javascript, in December 1995. Javascript encompasses a standard library of objects, like an array, Math, Date, and a core set of language elements like control structures, operators and statements.
Currently, JavaScript can execute in the browser as well as on the server, or on any device which has a special program known as the JavaScript engine. The browsers are equipped with an embedded engine, at times and this is called a "JavaScript virtual machine" (JVM).
Javascript Development Framework
Some of the well-known Javascript development framework used are listed below:
1) Angular.js 2
Angular.js is known as one of the most beloved and used JavaScript frameworks mainly used for building single page applications. This is available as an open source solution and is supported by Google. This one is highly preferred for hybrid mobile application development.
2) Embre.js
Embre.js was initially Introduced in 2011 and this is also an open-source JavaScript framework. It was declared as the best JavaScript framework meant for web application development in the year 2015. Ember offers a good solution for a startup or for a business looking for building complex web apps.
3) React.js
React.js was initially created by the team of Facebook developers and was developed in 2013. This is quite new in comparison with other JavaScript frameworks and thus it confidently wins its niche. React.js is the framework which is behind the front-end scenes of the two major social giants Facebook and Instagram.
4) Vue.js
Was introduced back in 2016, Vue framework delivers server-side rendering, two-way data binding, Vue-CLI along with optional JSX support. Vue.js is known as one of the fastest emerging frameworks till this date.
5) Backbone.js
BackboneJS was introduced in the year 2010. This is known as a lightweight JavaScript library which allows users to develop and structure the client-side applications which run in a web browser.
How to Choose Best Javascript Framework
Not one particular framework can be defined as being objectively the "best". Each and every framework comes with its own pros and cons. The user should ideally depend on his own situation. React and Angular and Vue are relatively the best choices for various projects which end up utilizing them.
Vue.js was leading, as per as Google Trends 2017:
There are, however, many developers working on Angular and React code bases, which is also visible in the Google Trends.
Future of Javascript
As far as programming is concerned, JavaScript is the present and the near future of programming.
JavaScript is referred to as the native language of the web, and the web is expanding at a very rapid pace because of this. JavaScript is receiving a huge amount of attention from developers who are consistently trying to improve its performance and also aiming at expanding its functionality.
As per TIOBE Index for February 2018 for popular programming language JavaScript ranks as the 8th most popular programming language amongst the Developer community.

I know that people are getting fed up with folk who write open letters to celebrities. However, I contend that senior official in the European Commission are not exactly celebrities as such. Besides, I have just spent quite a bit of time composing a letter to M. Pierre Moscovici, one of the people with the most power to do something about the awful disaster that the EU has unleashed upon digital microbusinesses. I'd like to share it with you.
I hope you are having a good Christmas. I'm not sure what you will be doing over the holidays, but I am busy dismantling a business that I have spent the past few years building up. That business is no longer economic, thanks to the new regulations for VAT on digital sales that you and your colleagues are bringing in as of January 1st.
This may come as a surprise to you, but I suspect that there are many people in a similar position to me. Europe-wide, there may be millions of us. That's because the start-up costs for selling digital products online are extremely low. Once you have a product, you can set up an online store to sell it in a few hours, and for little or no cost. No technical knowledge is required.
I say "business", but these are probably not businesses as you would understand the term. They don't employ people; they don't even make enough money to support their owners. Almost all of them are run by people in their spare time. The profits, such as they are, are often measured in hundreds of Euros a year rather than thousands. And yet all of them are classified as businesses under your new regulations.
Who runs these businesses? All sorts of people. They might be elderly folk looking to supplement their pensions so that they can afford a holiday, or some nice Christmas presents for the grandkids. They might be disabled people who have difficulty getting out to a job but can operate a computer at home well enough. They might be single mothers looking to supplement the meagre income they get from their jobs in supermarkets.
In my case I suppose you could say that my business is a hobby. I run a small publishing company, and thanks to Amazon there's precious little profit to be made in such an enterprise. I do it because I love books, and because there are many fine authors out there who need a hand extending their careers, or starting them.
I, of course, am one of the lucky ones. I don't have to shut the entire business immediately. I can still sell books through Amazon and similar stores. What I can't do is sell direct to customers, because that would involve way too much time and expense complying with your fantastically complicated regulations. This isn't a viable long-term situation. Amazon and their ilk are not my friends. Their terms are non-negotiable, and they are always looking to squeeze more profit out of the people who use their services.
In any case, by no means all third party websites are compliant with your regulations. Indeed, outside of the book trade, it seems that very few are. Many of them are based in the USA and see no need to jump through the various hoops you are putting in their way. You may think that we can simply swap to other, EU-based services, but the digital market doesn't work like that. In the same way that most people buy books from Amazon because they are the biggest name, other segments of the digital market have their own brand leader sites. If we move away from them because they don't support your new VAT laws, our sales will plummet.
For my own part, my main concern is crowdfunding. Over the past few years this has become the dominant method of raising funds for new books. I had big plans for new projects for 2015. However, the crowdfunding services I wanted to use do not levy VAT for me, and I don't have the time or money to do it myself.
Your publicity for the new VAT regulations talks about levelling the playing field, and certainly forcing Amazon to sell on the same terms as a book chain based in Ireland, or Portugal, or Latvia is a good thing. However, there is no way I can compete on level terms with Amazon, or with the major multi-national publishers. Their economies of scale and negotiating power are things I can only dream of. The one small thing I had in my favour was not having to charge VAT on my books. You have taken that away from me.
Fortunately there are solutions of a sort. Because it is so easy to set up a new digital business, I have been able to find someone in the USA willing to take on my business and ensure that it will continue. I'll doubtless still be involved, and will happily pay income tax on any money I make. But it won't be my business any more, and it won't be a European business. Other than via Amazon et al, it may not sell into Europe at all.
The sad thing is that all of this could have been avoided. The principle of Proportionality is well established in tax law. There is no point in trying to levy taxes when it costs more to collect them than you will gain in revenue. If it were not for people closing their business, HRMC here in the UK would be utterly swamped by the number of new registrations they would be getting. And yet, for some reason that no one can explain, you have chosen to do away with thresholds for VAT on digital sales. You have chosen to force people out of business if their operations are not large enough to comply with your regulations. That's a very strange way to encourage economic growth.
Merry Christmas, M. Moscovici. I hope you are having a happier one than I am.
Gutted for you, Cheryl. Truly gutted. I'll be mothballing my Bandcamp shop at least in the hope that their new system (expected March or so) will enable me to revive it later… but this iniquitous, backward-looking, inhumane and frankly senseless (not to mention globally-unenforceable) set of regulations are calling time on digital enterprises all over the creative and nano-business community.
"sell items you probably don't know exist, for sums you wouldn't open your eyes for, much less get out of bed".
For me as a musician, VATMOSS pushes me back to the Big Guys and physical CDs. I'll be looking for a US/CA-only platform too if I can find one.
I hope your talent and creativity lead you to good things. I'm so sorry.
I am not fed up of hearing about this, I am fed up that I have to hear about it because of the ignornace of those who have drafed and implemented the new regulations. I am so sorry this is affecting your business . I had only just discovered Wizard's Tower and am always on the look out for ways of aquiring good fiction that do not involve Amazon so I was looking forward to investigating your publications. It is not quite the same now it is no longer yours.
Not for publication: sorry about my previous comment, Cheryl; I was getting this webpage mixed up with one that I was co-currently reading in a different tab! Great letter. I'm now enjoying looking around your site.

It must be make believe day again.
Ask anyone in Utah if the Mormons believe in separation of church and state. Every law that is passed here must be approved by the Mormon church. Believe me you do not want to live in a country run by Mormons. They truly are a cult with crazy beliefs. Nice folks but absolutely out of touch with reality.
Sounds like all Christians to me.
Tom Turner
The LDS faith is a worldwide religion. Not just a Utah thing or Western USA thing. For example, there are five temples in Australia.
The LDS faith is growing at a rate of about a million every 3 years. About 300k new converts every year and about 120K new kids born into it. Subtract out death and people that leave or are ex'ed out, it's about 1 million every three. There are 55K missionaries worldwide.
The church is one of the largest land owners in America, including the largest land owner in Florida. They have a beef ranch out by Orlando. The number one paid attraction in Hawaii is LDS too, polynesian cultural center. The church owns many for profit businesses in different sectors. But a lot of those industries give what they make to the church welfare program. This provides food for Mormons and NON Mormons.
The third largest private university is BYU-Provo at 33K students. It's just a few hundred behind USC. And there are 4 BYU's including Utah, Idaho, Hawaii, and Isreal.
Mormons are here to stay. Get over it people. People can fight us or say this or that. You are stupid. This is the world's next major religion. You can tell by the temple growth rate that the church is entering parts of the world that our distractors could only dream of entering. There will be new temples soon in Philadelphia, Lisbon, Rome, Paris, and Congo. Temples in Hong Kong, Kiev, and South Africa. The next major LDS push will probably be Africa and India. I'm very excited to see the LDS growth in India. I hope it gets a temple soon. Map of current LDS temples. http://www.ldschurchtemples.com/maps/
Mormons next major challenge isn't from the numb nuts and idiots that fight us and show bigotry toward us. Our next major fight is to stay unique and different. Our next obstacle is to stay temple worthy and different for the right reasons, because we have a testimony in Christ and not because it's a cultural thing to be Mormon for the wrong reasons. We are a people that are special and blessed. But wanting to be part of the main stream and being accepted takes away a big part of what it is to be LDS. We need to value more to follow the voice of a Prophet than trying to be accepted by others and to be mainstream.
evensteven
That's quite a testimony Elder . . .
You've described a viral epidemic...and not a good one.
YOU NAILED IT!! Remember not to cast your pearls before swine....which most of the haters are in here!!
Plus the Mormon Church is on XM radio 143 with BYU Radio. The church is on many cable and satellite networks with BYUTV. This religion is out there and getting there message out there. If you compare facebook likes on FB. Their religion is number one in likes with about 600,000 likes. Mormons get their message out there and know how to work it.
Atheism is not healthy for children and other living things
Prayer changes things.
martog
You are here. God bless
It makes you sounds foolish for one thing.
@dana
In what way does martog sound foolish ? Is the foolishness in its other posts? God bless
Extraordinary claims reqiure Extraordinary proof. Where's your proof? Or yes, it does make you sound foolish
You provide your own proof martog, you are here. God bless
I prayed hard for Martog to be gone but he's still here.
Elliott Carlin
It takes a ton more faith to believe our existence just happened than to accept what the Lord says about it all. You darwinians still can't tell us where that first flying piece of matter appeared from all of those mega-trillions of years ago; you also have no arguments against racism, fascism, child abuse et al-its just the survival of the fittest. Your god is much more problematic than mine.
Their god provides instant gratification with no work.
Is Mormonism a cult? And the Mountain Meadows Massacre??
Actually, there is more and more evidence everyday that maybe life isn't so rare in the universe and therefore not so difficult to 'create' from scratch. Not hard to believe at all that BILLIONS of years could to lead us to where we are now.
If when you say "faith" you mean "idiocy"...then yes. It does take more "faith" to believe that our existence just happened. In doing so, also throwing away all scientific evidence to the contrary. There is not a single religion that exists today that has had its mantras proven beyond a reasonable doubt. As this is our own country's foundation for its' legal system, I leave it to you to decide. Religion is for those who are insecure in their own thoughts. The idea that "God" is just sitting up there waiting to answer "your" prayers is ludicrous and egocentric. As if the "creator of mankind" wouldn't have better things to do than to wait on each individual to ask for something mundane as "I pray my daughter is safe when she drives to school today".
bobhunter
Another reason Mormonism is popular in Washington: The so-called Whitehorse Prophecy: http://abitibibob.hubpages.com/hub/The-White-Horse-Prophecy-can-a-Mormon-president-save-the-United-States
The come from families that teach their children to have character and a work ethic. Not surprising that they would be successful.
NEWS ALERT !!!
Putting the kibosh to all religions:
ONLY FOR NEWCOMERS
• There was probably no Abraham i.e. the foundations of Judaism, Christianity and Islam are non-existent.
• There was probably no Moses i.e the pillars of Judaism, Christianity and Islam have no strength of purpose.
(PROBABLY- ADVERB- AS CERTAIN AS ONE KNOWS)
• There was no Gabriel i.e. Islam fails as a religion. Christianity partially fails.
• There was no Easter i.e. Christianity completely fails as a religion.
• There was no Moroni i.e. Mormonism is nothing more than a business cult.
• Sacred/revered cows, monkey gods, castes, reincarnations and therefore Hinduism fails as a religion.
• Fat Buddhas here, skinny Buddhas there, reincarnated Buddhas everywhere makes for a no on Buddhism.
A quick search will put the kibosh on any other groups calling themselves a religion.
e.g. Taoism
"The origins of Taoism are unclear. Traditionally, Lao-tzu who lived in the sixth century is regarded as its founder. Its early philosophic foundations and its later beliefs and rituals are two completely different ways of life. Today (1982) Taoism claims 31,286,000 followers.
Legend says that Lao-tzu was immaculately conceived by a shooting star; carried in his mother's womb for eighty-two years; and born a full grown wise old man. "
mique
Mormons love God and the military industrial complex.
So do I. One provides peace of mind, the other jobs that even an Atheist can do. Seems like a win-Win to me.
We are ALL born atheists...If we're all born in Gods image doesn't that make god am Atheist?!?!?! Maybe God prefers people that can actually think for themselves. I guess I won't see you when I go party with him!!!
Doobie Doobie Doo
Why do you say that religious folk don't think for themselves? I choose my faith of my own free will. I ask questions about it and I study it. Why do you assume that there is no thinking involved?
Christianity is all about choice. Choice in how you live, what you believe and if you even want to accept it or not. Now we could live in Iran where just converting is a death sentence.
One only need to read the history of "The Mountain Meadows Massacre" to understand who the Mormons really are.
I guess I should have said Rational thought. It is irrational to believe in Extraordinary claims that have absulutely no proof, not even any evidence, that they exist. But, yes, you are free to believe it if you like. Atheists are just tired of religious folk trying to push and force their beliefs onto everyone else.
The nitty-gritty:
"John Hick, a noted British philosopher of religion, estimates that 95 percent of the people of the world owe their religious affiliation to an accident (the randomness) of birth. The faith of the vast majority of believers depends upon where they were born and when. Those born in Saudi Arabia will almost certainly be Moslems, and those born and raised in India will for the most part be Hindus. Nevertheless, the religion of millions of people can sometimes change abruptly in the face of major political and social upheavals. In the middle of the sixth century ce, virtually all the people of the Near East and Northern Africa, including Turkey, Syria, Iraq, and Egypt were Christian. By the end of the following century, the people in these lands were largely Moslem, as a result of the militant spread of Islam.
The Situation Today
Barring military conquest, conversion to a faith other than that of one's birth is rare. Some Jews, Moslems, and Hindus do convert to Christianity, but not often. Similarly, it is not common for Christians to become Moslems or Jews. Most people are satisfied that their own faith is the true one or at least good enough to satisfy their religious and emotional needs. Had St. Augustine or St. Thomas Aquinas been born in Mecca at the start of the present century, the chances are that they would not have been Christians but loyal followers of the prophet Mohammed. " J. Somerville
It is very disturbing that religious narrow- mindedness, intolerance, violence and hatred continues unabated due to randomness of birth. Maybe, just maybe if this fact would be published on the first page of every newspaper every day, that we would finally realize the significant stupidity of all religions

I prefer people that can think for themselves.
No one is born an atheist. All children come from the throne of God and retain a knowledge of God in their inner being. Life gives us the opportunity to choose God in love and so return to God and the eternity He has prepared for us. Only the extremely foolish reject the opportunity God provides. God bless
Mirosal
Do you have evidence of where these children came from? Pictures? Docu'mentation? Do you have ANY reliable source for your claim? Or is your head so far up your buybull's ass that that you cannot think for yourself, and all you know how to do is parrot what your pastors told you to think and believe?
look at Mack he's prettey hung up on the Mountain Meadows Massacre isnt he??? Yah it was a sad incident, but lets just mention the hundreds of other incidents where many mormons were tortured and killed over and over again pal!!!
Better a future Mormon in the White House than a closet Muslim like Obama.
cregis
Interesting that President Obama didn't appoint Muslims to the Supreme Court when he had the chance, but appointed women. I love the President for supporting women, just wish he'd get us out of foreign wars.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?
Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing?
Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing?
Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing?
Then why call him God?
One is only truly free when he has the ability of true free thought.
Sounds like you've been spending time at the local Barnes and Noble there Nostrodamus. Man, since his creation, has always tried to define God in his own terms. Once you start accepting that God is holy, and we aren't, things come into focus a bit better.
You're right about one thing. Man DID create the "gods", only because he needed something to explain how the world around him worked. Now we know a lot more about how the world works. No more need for a lot of those "gods" is there? And every day we are finding new answers, and keeping busy by asking new questions, then working on those solutions.
Right on Mirosal
Moronosal: when you get an opportunity, take a read or listen to what even the smartest of athiests and scientists say: They can't tell you where the first protoplasm came from. And the "we know more now..." line is hardly scientific. Remember, consensus isn't science. it has to be observable....and changes in the earth take place UNDER THE RIGHT CONDITIONS. its why the Grand Canyon didn't form over the period of billions of years as you would suggest. Take a look at the formations after Mt. Saint Helens. Same stuff there. Here's todays' assignment for you: purchase all the parts required to make a simple watch. set on table before you. Stare at it. After about a billion years you'll see the watch slowly come together piece by piece, and after a trillion years, it will start reading time accruately. Sounds silly, but that's what you'd have us believe. AND THAT TAKES A LOT OF FAITH.
coincidence or not, crack junkies?
Pelosi is a Catholic. Reid is a Mormon. But no focus and slander against them. Romney is a Mormon. Now all kinds of comments come out about him and some are pretty nasty. I see all races and all religions standing in the unemployment lines. I guess the only thing that could have been worse to a Liberal is if he was a Jew.
Well, you are complaining about Romney, what's the difference between romney and our President, when he ran for office all we could hear everyday was about his pastor Rev. Wright, so get a life!
I like Romney fine. Now we can go on about Rev, Wright because of what he preaches and what he says. We all know it was nasty and when asked he said Obama sat there every Sunday for 20 years and listened to it. Once in DC, you cant get Obama to cast a shadow on a church. With Romney his religion is a personal matter. For Obama it is political strategy.
If the Democrats were like the GOP, they'd claim that Romney getting into office was so the Mormons could legalize polygamy. Too bad they won't stoop that low.
Like the Dems letting people believe that when they are in office weed will be legal. It hasn't happened. Their all politicians. They say what they need to when they need to.
R. Lynn
The highest democratic leader in the country is Mormon...you know that. Right?
Romney is the only Mormon I know about. If I were to judge all Mormons based on Romney, I would applaud them all as unrelenting true followers. They all do what they are told. They all follow without question their fixed beliefs without question. Without question. They are all fixed thinkers. There is not a leader amongst them. They all have low self esteem, probably because of some innate flaw in their parenting and mentoring.
Moron ... sigh
LinSea
Then you don't know very much. Why don't you try looking at mormon.org or attend services at a congregation near you and make an informed decision.
Atheists sure do love to follow around religious folk like little doggies. Bark Bark Bark!!!! Woof woof woof!!
To Atheists being anti-religious is their religion. I have heard some that could quote scripture better than a Baptist. I would say they are mostly anti-christian. Not a peep out of them about Islamic beheadings and honor killings but plenty of heartburn about a Christmas tree on the courthouse lawn.
Religious folk sure like to HOUND everyone that doesn't believe the same as them. Billboards, Radio stations, TV stations, Churchs everywhere, Knocking on doors, tyring to turn amaerica into a Theocracy,on and on and on.........I don't just bark(woof woof).....I BITE(chomp chomp)!
7 – Your face turns purple when you hear of the "atrocities" attributed to Allah, but you don't even flinch when hearing about how God/Jehovah slaughtered all the babies of Egypt in "Exodus" and ordered the elimination of entire ethnic groups in "Joshua" including women, children, and trees!
1 – You actually know a lot less than many atheists and agnostics do about the Bible, Christianity, and church history – but still call yourself a Christian
@martog
Who "hounds" you? If someone comes to your door with a little pamphlet, does he stay and force his way in when you tell him to leave?
How can you be offended by something you don't even believe exists? Do unicorns offend you? Does the easter bunny?
The Billboards, the people at my door, the radio commercials, the votes againsts gays...they DON"T EXIST?!?!?!?
You're the one that believes in fairy tales there fella!!! Gawd, jeebuz, the holy roller, santa claus, easter bunnies. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!!!
Religion no longer has stronghold in any part of America, particularly Washington, D.C. It has been marginalized the last 30 years. Those who have played a part in destroying it have done a good job of ushering it out, but the America they have created seems to be almost apocalyptic and on the brink, and they really have no explanation or apology. Also, take time to read Romney's commencement speech. It's an inspiring speech. Somewhere, Ronald Reagan must be smiling.
You're blaming religion for the state of this country? I'd say it's secularization that's destroying it. Lack of morality.
Yea, doobie doo doo,,,christians have such high morals! You must be joking cause you are sure full of poo poo on that one
@OT: I'm not an Obama fan either. I'm just very concerned about the dangers of a President who is beholding to a faith who has at its head a man who receives divine instruction from God and who subscribes to a book that prescribes that a panel of judges administer our freedom (kind of like the setup with the mullahs in Tehran). This is worrisome. Jefferson is spinning in his grave.
The message of the Book of Mormon is about Jesus Christ not about the judges. And how are the judges any different than the current judicial system we have in the U.S. Read 3 Nephi in the book and see really what the book is about. Romney is not running for pastor and chief he is running for commander and chief and has more common sense that the amateur communist Obama
Kristie- spot on.
Kristie–the book of mormon,another testament of jesus christ is not the word of God–The book is a lie as is your prophet the cursed man joeseph smith and the christ he wrote and preached-This republican won't be voting for the mormon or the "amateur communist obama"
Peter-If you are a Republican than the way you are talking makes you seem like a bitter and bigoted Liberal.
william–im a liberal as much as is mr santorum, whom i voted for in the primary. Though you people trashed and lied about the man as being a liberal. I stand with the words i said above.
Areverend
Well I hope that a mormon gets elected especially if he is from the old school where the mormon church was not so Politically Correct and people could be married to more than one wife and people did not have to hide when they believe in plural marriage. We let GAYS marry and that is 100% against the word of god. Why can't we accept mormon's for their real religion. The only reason they changed it was to calm down the people that did not believe in it.

Q: How do i change a combobox arrow color, in windows 8 store app I have this combobox in a windows store app project
<ComboBox  Grid.Row="2" x:Name="ContactoSelect" Width="200" Height="50" Margin="114,10,27,510" SelectedIndex="0" Background="White" SelectionChanged="ContactoSelect_SelectionChanged">
    <x:String>Item 1</x:String>
    <x:String>Item 2</x:String>
    <x:String>Item 3</x:String>
</ComboBox>

i would like to change the color of the arrow, that is black by default.
How can i do that?

A: Right click on the control from the Design view
Select the option Edit Style>Edit a copy
A style will be created for the control in the xaml inside Page.Resources as ComboBoxStyle1(name varies according to your x:name)
You will find
<TextBlock x:Name="DropDownGlyph" Grid.Column="1" Foreground="{StaticResource ComboBoxArrowForegroundThemeBrush}" FontWeight="Bold" FontSize="{StaticResource ComboBoxArrowThemeFontSize}" FontFamily="{StaticResource SymbolThemeFontFamily}" HorizontalAlignment="Right" IsHitTestVisible="False" Margin="0,0,6,4" Text="" VerticalAlignment="Center"/>

Change the Foreground to the desired color you want.
eg: Foreground="Red" or any other resource binding.
You can define the style globally in your App.xaml so that it can be used else where as below
    <ComboBox HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="187,130,0,0" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="120" Style="{StaticResource ComboBoxStyle1}"/>

A: If you want to change the arrow for all ComboBox objects in your project you could add the following line to your App.xaml file and change "#FF000000" to the color you want.
<SolidColorBrush x:Key="ComboBoxArrowForegroundThemeBrush" Color="#FF000000" />

You might also be able to do this on a page/control level by specifying it in the resources.
From ComboBox styles and templates under Dark theme brushes

Moscow is preparing to deport about 100,000 Ukrainians to Russia
written by admin January 16, 2023
Perhaps Russian officials and the occupation authorities are preparing a mass expulsion of Ukrainian citizens from the occupied territories to the Russian Federation.
US media giant Bloomberg reported that Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin issued a government order on "revenue mobilization" in mid-December that included up to €2.5 billion in additional spending for what Moscow calls "possible resettlement" of the population. Kherson region in Russia.
Ukraine's deputy prime minister, Irina Vereshuk, responded to the Russian government's order, saying that Russian officials and occupation authorities may consider deporting more than 100,000 residents of the Kherson region to Russia, fearing that Russian forces will lose more territory in war-torn Ukraine.
Vereshchuk also said that an unknown number of Ukrainian citizens have been forcibly resettled by Russian authorities to 57 regions of Russia, including the Far East and Siberia.
Deportation in wartime
SIE continues to believe that the forcible deportation of Ukrainian nationals to the Russian Federation likely amounts to a campaign of deliberate ethnic cleansing, as well as clear violations of the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Murder. Genocide.
The research center says that the Russian occupation authorities are struggling to force residents of the occupied territories to accept Russian passports.
Mass deportation to Ukraine
According to the Deputy Prime Minister of Ukraine Irina Vereshuk, Russia continues to resettle Ukrainian citizens.
The appointed regional governor of Zaporizhzhia in Russia, Yevhen Paletsky, reported that the Russian authorities were looking for more staff to work at the Zaporizhya Nuclear Power Plant (ZNPP), as about 1,500 ZNPP workers refused to accept Russian passports and sign a contract with Rosatom Nuclear Power. The factory will obtain ZNPP access permits.
In addition, SIE said that Russian authorities continue to import Russian citizens to work in civilian roles in occupied territories.
The Kremlin has not commented on reports of forced deportation or "liquidation" of Ukrainian citizens to Russia.

Experience Thailand the way no tourist ever could in the Teach in Thailand Program. In this structured, supportive program, participants receive teacher training at home, then attend orientation in Bangkok or Chiang Mai in preparation for their teaching placement at a Thai school. In this respected teaching position at a K-12 school, you'll help improve the English skills of your students, while promoting cultural exchange within the local community. Why just visit the country, when you can live the culture!
Why should I go through a program?
Getting a paid teaching position overseas on your own is not easy – it takes time, research and perseverance. The main benefit of paying to join a program like this is that we take care of all the details for you: TEFL certification, setting up the teaching job, arranging housing, helping with the visa, and more. The Teach in Thailand Program is great for those who have not taught overseas before or are simply looking for more advice, experience and support than they would get on their own.
Do I need teaching experience for the Teach in Thailand Program?
No! This program is suitable for both new and experienced teachers. Participants in this program must hold a bachelor's degree and be native speakers of English (or have near-native English fluency).
To prepare you to teach in Thailand, you will first receive training via our 120-hour TEFLOnline.com Master Diploma course, which includes a component on how to teach young learners. Once in Thailand, you will attend a week-long orientation in Bangkok or Chiang Mai with other participants. When you're on the job, you can put the skills from your training to work and you'll also have the support of the director at your school for day-to-day assistance.
Is there support once I'm in Thailand?
Will I get time off to travel?
Definitely! Beautiful Thailand has so much to explore, and as a teacher, you'll have weekends off to set out for Thai beaches or mountains, or to visit elaborate temples or other points of interest. Teachers also get paid national holidays. You'll have time for the type of adventures previous teachers have enjoyed, such as floating up the Kwai River on a restaurant barge at sunset, playing with elephants in Kanchanaburi or celebrating Visakha Bucha (Buddha Day) in unique Chiang Mai.
Can I take part in the program with a friend, boyfriend or spouse?
Yes, we are very successful at placing friends and couples together at the same institution in Thailand. It's important to notify us during the application process that you are seeking placement with someone else, and we will do our best to accommodate you.
What's it like living in Thailand?
Thailand is known as the "land of smiles" for a reason! Thai people go out of their way to be friendly and accommodating to everyone, including foreigners. This laid-back culture is a good fit for teachers looking to experience a more slowed down lifestyle, as described by past program participant, Lauren, in this recent article: Notes From The Field: Learning to Live the Mai Pen Rai Way in Thailand.
