U.S. Congress Passes Comprehensive Tax Cut Bill
Vol. 20, No. 51, December 21, 2017
President Trump will sign a Republican-supported bill into law that overhauls the U.S. tax code and reduces taxes by $1.5 trillion over the next decade. The U.S. Congress passed the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" (H.R. 1), which provides the most sweeping changes to the federal tax code in decades.
The "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" permanently reduces the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% while scaling back deductions for corporate interest expenses, moves the U.S. to a territorial tax system where only income generated from within the U.S. is taxed, and implements a one-time tax on overseas profits brought back to the U.S.
For individual taxpayers, the new law reduces marginal tax rates, which will be in effect through 2025: 10%, 12%, 22%, 24%, 32%, 35% and 37%. Prior to enactment of the new law, taxes rates are 10%, 15%, 25%, 28%, 33%, 35%, and 39.6%. H.R. 1 eliminates the personal exemption and doubles the standard deduction to $12,000 for individuals and $24,000 for married couples filing jointly while eliminating many credits and deductions that complicate tax preparation.
Of particular note, the new law eliminates a provision in the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) that requires individuals to either purchase health insurance or pay a fine, doubles the Child Tax Credit from $1,000 to $2,000, reduces the mortgage interest deduction from $1 million to $750,0000, caps write-offs for state and local property taxes at $10,000 and expands the medical expense deductions.
H.R. 1 provides "pass-through" businesses (sole proprietorships, partnerships and S corporations) that currently pay taxes at the individual rate of their owners with a 20% tax deduction that applies to the first $315,000 of joint income. This deduction ensures that these business owners pay a marginal tax rate of no more than 29.6%. The law allows businesses to write off the full cost of investments for the next five years, doubles the exemption from the estate tax, preserves the research and development credit and allows small businesses to continue to write off interest expenses on loans.
In order to expand the voice of SEMA members on Capitol Hill, the association has been a longstanding member of the Small Business Legislative Council (SBLC). It is a leading advocate on topics that impact small businesses, especially tax issues. The SBLC has prepared the following analysis of the "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act" (below).
For more information, contact Eric Snyder at erics@sema.org.
Business Provisions H.R. 1, The "Tax Cuts and Jobs Act"
C Corp Rates 21% for C corps and personal service corps. This rate would be effective for tax years after 2017 and would be permanent. Would reduce the 80% dividends received deduction to 65% and the 70% dividends received deduction to 50%.
Bonus Depreciation Companies would be able to immediately write off the full cost of investments in their businesses, starting with assets purchased and placed in service after September 27, 2017, and before January 1, 2023. Thereafter, the deduction will phase out by 20% each year through 2026.
Section 179 Section 179 deduction would be increased from $500,000 to $1 million with an increased phase-out threshold at $2.5 million. These amounts will be indexed for inflation starting in 2019. The definition of qualified real property would also be expanded to include improvements made to nonresidential real property including roofs, heating and air-conditioning property.
Research and Development Credit Retained in its current form.
Availability of Cash Method of Accounting The average gross receipts threshold for using the cash method would be permanently increased from $5 million to $25 million.
Employer Credit for Paid FMLA A new credit would be added for 2018 and 2019 for wages paid to employees on FMLA if certain conditions are met.
Deduction of Business Interest Businesses would only be able to deduct net interest expenses up to 30% of their adjusted taxable income. For taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, and before January 1, 2022, adjusted taxable income is computed without regard to deductions allowable for depreciation, amortization or depletion or the Section 199 deduction (domestic manufacturing deduction which is repealed in the bill). Businesses with annual gross receipts of $25 million or less would not be subject to the 30% limit.
Qualified Retirement Plans Generally not impacted—though some concern that unless language is fixed in technical corrections, retirement plan contributions for pass-throughs may not be as advantageous because contribution would be against the qualified business income, which would have a lower tax rate than the personal income tax rate, but when taken out of the plan would be subject to the higher personal income tax rates.
Capital Gains and Dividends Rates No change.
Non-qualified Deferred Compensation (409A) No change.
Contributions to Capital Added provision providing that capital contributions aren't excludable from taxable income unless they are made by a shareholder, potential customer or government entity. Provision in House bill dealing with the inclusion in gross income of contributions to capital of a partnership in excess of fair market value of interest received is not included in final bill.
Technical Termination of Partnership Technical termination rule would be repealed. Partnership would be treated as continuing even if more than 50% of the total capital and profit interests of partnership were sold or exchanged.
Pass Though Provisions If the individual makes $157,500 or less (or $315,000 or less in the case of a joint return), indexed, the individual taxpayer would receive a 20% deduction on "qualified business income" from a partnership, S corporation or sole proprietorship. If the individual makes more than $157,500 (or more than $315,000 in the case of a joint return), then the deduction from "qualified business income" would be the greater of (i) the sum of 25% of the W-2 wages with respect to the trade or business, plus 2.5% of the unadjusted basis, immediately after acquisition, of all "qualified property" or (ii) 50% of the W-2 wages with respect to the trade or business. Once the $157,500 (or $315,000) threshold is hit, a "qualified trade or business" does not include service businesses. "Qualified business income" would not include reasonable compensation paid to the taxpayer by any qualified business for services rendered with respect to the business. "Qualified property" is defined as tangible property subject to depreciation, held by a qualified trade or business and used in the production of qualified business income. It is the first alternative for calculating the wage limit, which is seen as helping real-estate businesses with large capital investments but few employees to qualify under the pass-through provisions. There would be a phase-in of $50,000 for individuals or $100,000 for joint returns. A specified service means those performing services in the fields of health, law, consulting, athletics, financial services, brokerage services or where the reputation or skill of one or more of its employees or owners or dealing with investing and investment management trading or dealing in securities, partnership interests or commodities. Note that this definition excludes engineers and architects. The deduction would be allowed to nonitemizers as well as those that itemize. Trusts and estates would be eligible for the 20% deduction. These provisions would all sunset in 2025.
Estate and Generation Skipping Transfer (GST) Tax From 2018 through the end of 2025 estate and GST exemptions would double. In 2026, the exemptions would revert back to their current levels, indexed for inflation.
Gift Tax From 2018 through the end of 2025 the gift tax exemption would double. In 2026, the exemption would revert back to their current levels, indexed for inflation.
Step-Up in Basis Retained in its current form.
Low Income Housing Credit Retained in its current form.
ACA Individual mandate repealed.
Mortgage Interest Deduction Deduction limit reduced from $1 million to $750,000 and limited to debt incurred on the principal residence or a second home. Starting next year, no deduction will be allowed for interest on home equity loans. These changes would sunset in 2025. Taxpayers could continue to exclude sale proceeds from the sale of a principal residence as under current law.
Graduate and Undergraduate Tuition Waivers No change.
Standard Deduction Increased to $24,000 for joint, $18,000 for unmarried with at least one child and $12,000 for single filers. These increases would sunset at the end of 2025 and revert to current levels.
Personal Exemptions Eliminated until 2025.
Child Tax Credit Increased to $2,000 with an increased phase-out of up to $400,000 for married taxpayers. Increase the amount of the credit that is refundable from $1,000 to $1,400. These provisions would sunset at the end of 2025.
Non-Dependent Credit Added $500 credit for dependents and other children until the end of 2025.
Family Flexibility Credit No added provision.
Dependent Care Flexible Savings Accounts No change.
Number of Tax Brackets Seven
Top Rate 37%
Provisions Covering Individuals and Businesses
AMT – Alternative Minimum Tax Corporate AMT repealed. Individual AMT retained with a higher AMT exemption (starting at $109,400 for joint and $70,300 for single) for the years 2018 through 2025. Phase-out of exemption amounts would be increased to $1 million for married taxpayers filing jointly and $500,000 for single taxpayers. This means that the exemption amount is not phased out until the alternative minimum taxable income exceeds these phase-out amounts. The increase in the individual AMT exemption sunsets in 2025. The repeal of the corporate AMT is permanent.
State and Local Tax (SALT) Deduction Deduction for state and local income, sales and/or property taxes capped at $10,000. This provision sunsets in 2025. Cannot pre-pay income tax for 2018 in 2017. Not clear if property taxes can be prepaid in 2017 for 2018. State and local tax deduction maintained for corporations and pass throughs.

Fairy Tail Creator Shares Sweet Wendy Artwork
By Nick Valdez - November 30, 2019 06:33 pm EST
Out of all the characters introduced throughout Hiro Mashima's Fairy Tail, one of the standouts has been the young Wendy Marvell. The series has gotten a ton of favor from fans for its more fan-service friendly older characters, but Wendy has been a fan-favorite addition to the series ever since she was first brought into the fray. This is especially true now that the series has ended, and series creator Mashima himself continues to keep Wendy alive through adorable new sketches of the character on Twitter. Now each of her new appearances are far more appreciated.
The latest sketch of the character shows Wendy at her cutest as she spins her twintails around, and it's an even better example of just how adorable Wendy was every time Mashima put her into the story.
落書き。 pic.twitter.com/738pt1tudY
— 真島ヒロ (@hiro_mashima) November 28, 2019
Although the official manga and anime series have come to an end, Wendy's adventures as part of the Fairy Tail guild are far from over. Not only is the series continuing with an official sequel manga, who fans hope get an official anime adaptation someday, but Fairy Tail will soon be launching its very first console game effort sometime next year.
Wendy will be one of the many playable characters fans will be able to take out into the world with their own custom party of characters. The new game features not only an adaptation of some of the series' standout arcs, but will also feature new scenarios and stories. The game has been overseen to some extent by Mashima as well, so there's bound to be all sorts of standout new moments from these fan-favorites like Wendy!
Fairy Tail was originally created by Hiro Mashima for Kodansha's Weekly Shonen Magazine, running from 2006 to 2017 and selling over 60 million copies. The series is set in a fantasy world full of magic following Natsu Dragneel, a fire breathing wizard with the powers of a dragon who is in search of his missing foster father, the dragon Igneel. As he and his wizarding guild Fairy Tail get into adventures, Natsu always tries to find a way to succeed. The series was later adapted into an anime by A-1 Pictures, Dentsu Inc., and Satelight in 2009 and ended its first run in 2013. A second season ran from 2014 to 2016, and the third season brought the anime to its official end.

Featured Condo › Condo adds luxury fittings to woo buyers
Condo adds luxury fittings to woo buyers
A Luxury condominium here is fitting some units with high-fashion brands Kenzo and Fendi, in a bid to attract more buyers as it relaunches this weekend.
The Lumos, a 53-unit completed condo at Leonie Hill, first came on the market here in 2007.
Since then, 18 units have been sold. But the developer halted sales in recent years to wait for the property market to pick up and review marketing strategies. Now, the project is back on the market at what the developers deem more 'attractive' prices.
In a collaboration between the developers - Koh Brothers Development and Heeton Land - and the brands, one unit at The Lumos will be furnished with Fendi casa furniture and another unit with Kenzo maison trimmings. They will feature imported items such as sofas, beds, tables and rugs.
The Lumos, when first launched, was the first condo to have bathroom windows made of liquid crystal glass, allowing users to change the glass from frosted to clear using a switch, among other things.
In addition, both brands contributed interior design ideas for the two units, which will be ready in July.
Mr Danny Low, chief operating officer of Heeton Holdings, estimated that prices of the two exclusive units could be between $5 million and $7 million. Although the developers declined to say if they had cut prices, it is likely that the figure will be more attractive than previously, given that the units now come with the furnishings.
Mr Koh said market sentiment in the mass market will remain resilient but the high-end sector will be slow, in part due to tough cooling measures which affect foreign investors more acutely.
It is not the first time condo units have been sold fully decked out with luxury trimmings. Last year, luxury homes developer SC Global said it was collaborating with French brand Hermes to do up a five-bedroom unit at The Marq on Paterson Hill.
Other condos are also stepping up their sales pitch. Paterson Suites, for instance, offered a 5 per cent guaranteed rental yield a year at its relaunch last week.

New Research Sheds Light o...
New Research Sheds Light on Long COVID, More Provider Relief Funds Will Be Disbursed
Research into long COVID—the array of symptoms that remain with some patients after recovery from the acute phase of infection—has been growing in breadth and depth, revealing a more complete understanding of general risks and how it affects different populations. The findings could have implications for surgeons as they decide on treatment options or discuss them with patients and their families. Excerpts from some recent research studies follow.
Sex Differences in Sequelae from COVID-19 Infection and in Long COVID Syndrome: A Review (Current Medical Research and Opinion)
In addition to other significant findings for acute illness, this study found that women experienced long COVID symptoms at a disproportionately higher rate than men, though the sequelae in each group differed. According to the article:
"Across the few studies that have reported sex-disaggregated data, we found that, overall, female patients were more likely to experience long COVID-19 syndrome than their male counterparts. … In patients who experienced long COVID syndrome, ENT, GI, psychiatric/mood, dermatological, neurological, and other complications (primarily rheumatological complications and fatigue) were significantly more likely in female patients, while endocrine and renal complications were significantly more likely in male patients."
Long COVID Symptoms in SARS-CoV-2-Positive Children Aged 0–14 Years and Matched Controls in Denmark (LongCOVIDKidsDK): A National, Cross-Sectional Study (Lancet Child & Adolescent Health)
This study specifically examined the prevalence of long COVID symptoms in children, finding that this group has more prevalent, long-term symptoms than controls. The article stated:
"[C]hildren who had a history of SARS-CoV-2 infection in all age groups from 0 to 14 years reported a higher prevalence of long-lasting symptoms compared with age-sex-matched controls, and, among the oldest respondents, more females than males had long-lasting symptoms. ... Further research should study post-COVID-19 diagnoses, prescribed drugs, and healthcare use to better understand symptom clusters and long-term consequences of COVID-19 and the pandemic in children."
Risk of Long COVID Associated with Delta versus Omicron Variants of SARS-CoV-2 (Lancet)
The omicron variant of COVID-19 has been suggested to cause less severe illness than previous variants, including the original strain and the delta variant, especially in vaccinated populations. This study sought to determine whether the more "severe" delta variant produced a higher rate of long COVID symptoms than the "milder" omicron variant, and results suggest that was, indeed, the case. The article noted:
"Among omicron cases, 2,501 (4.5%) of 56,003 people experienced long COVID and, among delta cases, 4,469 (10.8%) of 41,361 people experienced long COVID. Omicron cases were less likely to experience long COVID for all vaccine timings, with an odds ratio ranging from 0.24 (0.20–0.32) to 0.50 (0.43–0.59). These results were also confirmed when the analysis was stratified by age group."
Health Resources and Services Administration Releases Additional Provider Relief Funds
The US Department of Health and Human Services, through its Health Resources and Services Administration, will be disbursing $142 million in Provider Relief Funds this month. This additional batch of phase 4 funds brings the total released to approximately $14.5 billion out of $17 billion total to be released.

Q: ZeroMQ with node.js pipeline sink stops receiving messages after a while I've been trying to set up a ventilator / worker / sink pattern in order to crawl pages, but I never got past the testing phase. The one particularity of my setup is that the sink lives in the same process as the ventilator. All nodes use ipc:// transport. For the moment only test messages are exchanged. the ventilator sends tasks, workers receive them and wait then send a confirmation to the sink.
Symptoms: After some time (generally less than 5 minutes) the sink stops receiving confirmation messages even though the ventilator keeps on sending tasks and workers keep on receiving them and sending confirmations messages.
I know that confirmations are sent because if I restart my sink, it gets all the missing messages on startup.
I thought ZeroMQ dealt with auto-reconnect.
ventilator/sink

var push = zmq.socket('push');
var sink = zmq.socket('pull');
var pi = 0;
setInterval(function() {
    push.send(['ping', pi++], zmq.ZMQ_SNDMORE);
    push.send('end');
}, 2000);
push.bind('ipc://crawl.ipc');
sink.bind('ipc://crawl-sink.ipc');
sink.on('message', function() {
    var args = [].slice.apply(arguments).map(function(e) {return e.toString()});
    console.log('got message', args.join(' '));
});

worker.js
var pull = zmq.socket('pull');
var sink = zmq.socket('push');
sink.connect(opt.sink);
pull.connect(opt.push);

pull.on('message', function() {
    var args = [].slice.apply(arguments).map(function(e) {return e.toString()});
    console.log('got job ', args.join(' '));
    setTimeout(function() {
        console.log('job done ', args.join(' '));
        sink.send(['job done', args.join(' ')]);
    }, Math.random() * 5 * 1000);
});

EDIT I tried moving the sink to another process and it seems to work. However I would really like it to live in the same process and I observed similar behaviour when dealing with more than one zmq socket per process, regardless of the pattern used
EDIT I'm using this module https://github.com/JustinTulloss/zeromq.node

A: I don't necessarily expect this answer to be accepted, but I'm placing it here for reference. There is a very faithful node-only module called Axon which is inspired by ZeroMQ.

*

*Axon has no compiled dependencies, and re-creates the same socket types as ZeroMQ.

*Axon also builds upon the pub/sub socket type to create a network event-emitter.

*Finally, ZMQs req/rep socket does not work with Node.js because ZMQ expects the reply to occur synchronously. Being native Node, the Axon library handles the req/rep pattern properly.

Note: ZMQ and Axon are not interoperable.

A: Not sure if you are using the base AMQP client, or a package that uses it under the covers, I am having similar issues with RabbitMQ.  The actual process is still running (setInterval works)
I am running my services/workers via cluster.fork from the main process... there are listeners in the main process that re-launch the workers/services upon exit... inside my worker I have a setInterval that runs every X seconds, if no work is done during that time, I have my worker process.exit (where the main process listener will launch a new fork).  This works out as enough resiliancy for me.  By having several workers running (listening for queue), work still  gets done.
As another suggested, I've been considering a switch to Axon, as all my interfaces to the MQ are currently going through Node.  My other systems are interfacing via a NodeJS driven API service.  For that matter, it probably wouldn't be too hard to expose what you may need via an API service.

Adalgisel Grimo (died after 634) was a deacon and member of the Austrasian nobility. He is chiefly significant because of his will, dated 30 December 634.  This is the oldest known early medieval deed for the territory between the Meuse and the Rhine and contains important information about the settlement, constitutional, economic and social history of this region.

Adalgisel Grimo had a double name, such as appears occasionally in early medieval sources. Grimo is the diminutive of a longer polysyllabic name. He was educated at the Cathedral of Verdun, served as a deacon under Bishop Paulus of Verdun, and founded Tholey Abbey. He controlled a large territory between the Meuse and Rhine, which he bequeathed to St. Maximin's Abbey, Trier and the Monastery of Longuyon, among others.

His will provides information regarding his family relationships. His sister was a deacon named Ermengundis. He mentions that his aunt, whose name is not given, is buried in the church of Saint-George in Amay. In 1977 the gravestone of Saint Chrodoara was found in this church. Chrodoara was married to a duke named Bodegisel, a member of a north Aquitanian aristocratic family. This helped confirm previous assumptions about the membership of Adalgisel in this family whose members are identifiable by names ending in "-gisil".

A 10th-century transcription of the Latin testament of Adalgisel Grimo resides in the State Archives in Koblenz (Rhineland-Palatinate).  The definitive edition of the text was presented in 1932 by Wilhelm Levison.

Dali & Schrodinger: musings on creativity in science
Geologist Brian Ricketts makes the point that the creative act of imagination is as important to scientists as it is to artists, and ponders the relationship between the two aspects of human endeavour.
Art can be thought of as (among other things) the construction of sensory (conscious and subconscious) images; images conveyed by the artist or construed by the audience. Science on the other hand is often thought of as the construction of hypotheses and theories, of grand ideas. In the vocabulary of science, words and phrases like logical analysis and objectivity are deemed central to the whole process of doing science and frequently are used to set it apart from other human endeavors, like art, at least in the minds of those who like such distinctions. But images are also central to science. We create them whenever we talk of evolutionary lineages, of Schrodinger's Cat, double helixes, nano-particles and atomic tunnels. In my own discipline, whenever I think of James Hutton's (1785) discovery of deep time (geological), I don't think of him engrossed in syllogisms, but in some intriguing mix of reason and creative wondering at the world he observed. The syllogisms probably came later. There is creative thinking in science; it is the same creativity that emboldens the painter and poet to explore the internal and external universe they see. Creativity is not just a useful add-on to the progression of science, its so-called method; it is a vital part of discovery and invention. Without it science would be little more than a collection of data. These ideas are not new; many scientists have espoused them. But they are worth reiterating.
I saw my first Dali painting in the Modern Art Museum in Stockholm in 1980 (Dream caused by the Flight of a Bee around a Pomegranate a Second before Wakening up, 1944) and not long after Edvard Munch's 'The Scream' in Oslo. Both left lasting impressions – I still remember them, that's got to count for something. Both express elements of the human psyche, whether it's dreams and a subconscious yearning for something, or a visceral response to angst. I've seen a few Dali works since then, but sadly no more Munch. And for whatever reason, it's the Dali that appeals most: the surreal, the imagination, the attention to detail, the craziness – and the science.
I've learned more about Salvador Dali. He was pretty eccentric. He had creative genius. Perhaps the two go hand in hand. I am intrigued by his perceptions of science, his sense that science could formulate hypotheses and theories that rival any other human endeavour in terms of their creativity and potential to change people's perceptions of the world.
Dali's artistic development coincided with some of the most exciting and influential scientific discoveries of the 20th century: relativity changed people's perceptions of space and time, quantum mechanics challenged our intuition about place and states of existence, the structure of DNA permits us to look at the foundations of our physical being, and the atom bomb which destroys it. Dali liked to read about the science of the day and the scientific debates centered around Relativity and Quantum Mechanics. He read Einstein, Schrodinger and Stephen Hawking. His library had many science books and journals. He annotated most of them. He was conversant with Freud's psychoanalysis. Dreams and the subconscious underpin his surrealist paintings. To me (admittedly naïve) there is a constructive tension between his portrayal of the surreal, subconscious world and his science.
In The Persistence of Memory (1931), perhaps one of his best known paintings, there are structural links among the landscape, the sea, and time, and imagined links to the dreaming person. Perhaps the bendy, soft clocks reflect a perception of time not as a linear record but as it is described by Relativity. I also wonder whether there is an allusion to deep time in a geological-cosmological sense, where eons are beyond normal comprehension and distort our everyday understanding of time. Even more fascinating is the sequel The Disintegration of the Persistence of Memory (1954) where objects are broken into their 'atomic' components, or perhaps broken apart by the destructive force of the atom bomb (it wasn't that long after the cessation of World War 2).
For Dali, DNA represented immortality, in part because it is the genetic foundation for humanity, but also because codes are passed on from ancestors to future generations. His outstanding work with this theme is a homage to Crick and Watson, the co-discoverers of DNA –GALACIDALACIDESOXIRIBUNUCLEIC-ACID (1963) that the Dali Museum describes as the "cycle of life, death, and resurrection", a reference to the generational passage of genes where "the muscles in God's arm twist in the form of a double spiral".
Dali was not alone in his pursuits of science in art. Leonardo DaVinci probably tops the list as someone who not only practiced science, experiment and technological constructions, but incorporated it into his art. There's Roy Lichtenstein's Peace through chemistry series and Andy Warhol's Einstein (that I saw recently in Pittsburgh's Warhol Museum). Recently I came across an image by Karen Kunc Ancient Geology (1987) that depicts a volcano, strata, plate subduction and what looks like convective flow, and mountains. It brings together all the grand, physical forces that shape the earth, but like the concept of deep time are not always easy to comprehend.
The art of science, or science of art are explorations of the universe, the mind, the physical, the imagined. Perhaps there is no real difference in the tools of the trades – a paintbrush, a microscope, or a lens through which we see things. Whatever it is that dictates discovery can be applied to both; the logic of analysis can be used by scientists, artists and their audiences. Should these ideas be conveyed to students of science? Sit them in front of any art piece, any mathematical equation, a beach or rocky outcrop with fossils (in that order) and ask them what is common to all three; what is it that helps us understand our world. We begin with images (imagination) and create ideas (creativity). Understanding will follow.
Did Dali contribute anything to the broader pursuit of science? Perhaps not if we think only in terms of a white lab-coat kind of science. But Dali did contribute wonderful visual images of some complex scientific ideas and theories, images that create in the mind's eye ways of seeing the world through the lens of relativity, deep time and DNA. Scientists need these kinds of images no less than anyone else.

Stellar Occultation by Eris
On November 6, 2010, the dwarf planet Eris occulted a faint 16 magnitude star and this was the first time astronomers were able to witness an occultation by Eris. Additionally, at 96.6 Astronomical Units away, it was the most distant object for which this kind of occultation — where one astronomical object passes in front of another — had been seen. Why was this dim, distant event important? It has helped refine the size of what is (was?) thought to be the biggest dwarf planet (yes, I know, an oxymoron) we know of.
"Most of the ways we have of measuring the sizes of objects in the outer solar system are fraught with difficulties," wrote astronomer and discoverer of Eris, Mike Brown, on his website 'Mike Brown's Planets.' "But, precisely timed occultations like these have the potential to provide incredibly precise answers."
The size of Eris has been a point of contention for many, since its discovery was the tipping point that "demoted" Pluto. Plus, it's size hasn't' been precisely, unequivocally known: Brown's data said Eris was 2,400 km in diameter, plus or minus about 100 km; radio astronomy measurements put it at about 3,000 km. (Pluto is about 2370 km).
Now, after three separate telescopes in Chile were able to view the occultation, initial estimates from the data say Eris is somewhere between 2,320 – 2,350 km in diameter. Which would mean Eris is actually smaller than Pluto, albeit, they are extremely close in size.
In measurements of mass, however, Eris still comes out the heavyweight, which implies that Eris contains more rock than ice than Pluto does. "Eris and Pluto are very different bodies,"Brown wrote. "Though Eris is substantially more massive, they are essentially the same size. Eris must be made almost entirely of rock with a little coating of frost – which we see – on the outside. How could Eris and Pluto look so similar in size and exterior composition yet be totally unalike on the inside? As of today I have absolutely no idea…. Something is going on in the outer solar system, and I don't know what."
The video is from observations with a 40 cm. robotic telescope from The Andalusian Astrophysics Institute (Instituto de Astrofísica de Andalucía, Spain), located at San Pedro de Atacama in Chile. The arrow shows where the star is, and you can see clearly how it disappears (from Eris' shadow), and then emerges again.
Read the entire story on Mike Brown's Planets.
Addendum: Mike Brown added another post to his blog last night (probably about the same time I post this) in which he talks more about how "Dwarf Planets are Crazy."

Mike Brown on the topic of that the observed Kuiper belt objects vary immensely in density, including a promising hypothesis that apparently doesn't quite meet all the requirements.
It's a new conundrum in planetary system formation! (As if we needed more.)
the biggest dwarf planet (yes, I know, an oxymoron)
Either you are "plunning" us ("planet funning" us) which isn't clear from the context, or this is a mistake.
Planets and dwarf planets comes from different populations (objects migrating to gravitational stable configurations respectively belt objects) and have observably different characteristics (cleared neighborhood for stability respectively not).
As an analogy (always a risky business, mind) it isn't like "the worlds biggest dwarf", it is like "the worlds biggest Efé" (a well known population of central African pygmy people). It isn't an oxymoron, it is even quantifiable if you measure all of the population. (I know, "a tall" order!)
mastercope says:
Make no mistake about it. It is The Trumpet's they are gathering all the stones in the Kuiper Belt to make the Foot. That also explains the ripples in Saturn's Rings. They be skimming fuel. Soon Eris will be lost cause it is on the way. ;-(
Mister T says:
That's no dwarf planet!!
Turn the ship around !!
NOW!!
laurele says:
Pluto and Eris are both planets and Kuiper Belt Objects. One does not preclude the other. They are planets because they are large enough to be rounded by their own gravity. They are Kuiper Belt Objects because they are located in the Kuiper Belt. Ceres too is a small planet because it is large enough for its gravity to pull it into a spherical shape. The IAU misappropriated the term "dwarf planet," which was first coined by Dr. Alan Stern, Principal Investigator of NASA's New Horizons mission to Pluto, to indicate a third class of planets which are large enough to be rounded by their own gravity but not large enough to gravitationally dominate their orbits. He never intended for "dwarf planets" to be classed as not planets at all. The IAU did not "have" to do anything other than allow Eris's discoverer to name it while holding off on any additional classification until more information is discovered about remote planets in this solar system and all planets in other solar systems.
Significantly, there are quite a few exoplanet systems in which multiple planets orbit the host star in various different planes. Some have orbits far more eccentric than Pluto's, yet they are giant planets the size of Jupiter or larger. According to the IAU definition, none of these objects are planets!
Saying there are more differences between Pluto and the eight closer planets to the Sun depends on what aspects one considers. Earth actually has far more in common with Pluto than with Jupiter. Both have surfaces on which we can place rovers and landers. Both have a large moon formed by giant impact; both are geologically differentiated into core, mantle, and crust, and both have nitrogen in their atmospheres. Other than orbiting the Sun, what do Earth and Jupiter have in common?
It is premature to pronounce declarations that these faraway objects are definitively not like the other planets or that one is larger than the other. We just do not have enough data at this point to do more than make educated estimates. What we really need to do is send robotic missions like New Horizons to Eris as well as Haumea and Makemake. Yes, that will take time and money, but it is a far better investment than the black holes the endless wars in Iraq and Afghanistan have become.
Also, memorization is not important. It is much more important to teach the characteristics of each category of planet than to ask kids to memorize a bunch of names. We don't ask them to memorize the names of rivers or mountains on Earth, so why do so with planets, and why allow a need for convenient memorization to determine how we classify them?
SteveZodiac says:
The apostrophes are running wild on this page, although I'll accept the glottal stop one.
including a promising hypothesis that apparently doesn't quite meet all the requirements.
Um, no, strike that. Mike Brown, updated in "Dwarf planets are crazy":
"They are all thoroughly different. How could this possibly be?
No answer is immediately obvious, but it is immediately obvious that one or more of the assumptions of the standard scenario are going to have to be discarded. Earlier this summer I had constructed a new hypothesis that did an adequate (though, frustratingly not great) job of explaining some of the crazy variability in the Kuiper belt as being due to a random series of giant collisions which knocked the ice off of some objects, leaving just the rocky cores. I gave a couple of talks on the hypothesis, and even wrote the first draft of a scientific paper describing the details. But I fear now that the draft is going to have to go to the recycle bin. Even in my hypothesis once things grow to a certain size they should be more or less the same. Eris and Pluto are just too big to be different."
"So what happened instead? Did they form in different places? In different solar systems? Did Eris spend time close to the sun? None of these hypotheses is immediately appealing, but somewhere in there there must be a kernel of what really happened. Pluto and Eris and all of the rest of the dwarf planets must have a widely divergent set of histories of formation or evolution or interaction or all of the above."
Pluto and Eris are both planets and Kuiper Belt Objects. One does not preclude the other.
That's like saying that they are cats and dogs simultaneously, see my previous comment. And that is presumably why astronomers now define planets differently than you do.
HeadAroundU says:
It isn't an oxymoron. There can be the smallest or the biggest Dwarf planet.
An oxymoron would be "the biggest smallest planet", without 'smallest planet' being a serious category in astronomy. Or, "Giant dwarf planet", as a serious category.
Okay, let me get this straight, Eris is 23 hundred odd kms in diameter but its shadow can blot out a star??? I didn't even know you could cast a shadow on a star!
"The arrow shows where the star is, and you can see clearly how it disappears (from Eris' shadow), and then emerges again."
Shouldn't that be, (from behind Eris)
And I thought the point was it was SMALLER than we thought!
Fancy Nancy, another oxymoron or maybe not? 😀
ILOVETHESTAR says:
I can understand saying Pluto and Eris should be Planets because they are round, however, small lightweight moons around Saturn are also round because they are mostly ice and rocky rubble. In the future, I have a feeling there is a body out there with an albedo of .01 and the size of Mars far out in the Kuiper belt- in fact,I believe in the future,perhaps in 20 or so years, a dozen or so Mars size Kuiper belt objects will be out there. IMHO, I think for now, keep the number of planets at 8.
Manu says:
Science in the making. This is so exciting! 😀
@ Peter:
I'm not sure if you are pointing out the funny ambiguity in the situation, but there it is: you can either put yourself in the shoes of an Earthly observer or someone else. Nancy is describing the shadow as seen by an observer observing the Earthly observer.
Confusing!? Not at all… 😉 Read the article of Brown Nancy links to, there the shadow and its size is described.
[But roughly: since the star is so far away the rays are efficiently parallel as seen by us, so Eris casts a ~ 2300 km spherical shadow on a ~ 12 000 km sphere (Earth). You "just" have to be observing from the right area of Earth.]

Grigori Fedotov (Russisch: Григо́рий Ива́нович Федо́тов) (Noginsk, 29 maart 1916 –  Moskou, 8 december 1957) was een profvoetballer uit de Sovjet-Unie.

Biografie
Fedotov begon bij Serp i Molot Moskou en maakte in 1938 de overstap naar CDKA Moskou, het huidige CSKA. In 1938 en 1939 werd hij topschutter van de competitie, telkens met 21 goals. Door het uitbreken van de Eerste Wereldoorlog lag zijn carrière enkele jaren stil. Van 1946 tot 1948 won hij met CDKA drie keer op rij de landstitel. Doordat de Sovjet-Unie twintig jaar lang geen interlands speelde, maakte hij geen carrière als international.

Na zijn spelerscarrière werd hij trainer. Zijn zoon Vladimir Fedotov was ook een profvoetballer en trainer. Fedotov was de eerste speler die meer dan 100 goals scoorde in de Sovjetcompetitie. Naar hem werd de Grigori Fedotov club genoemd, een officieuze lijst van alle spelers in de Sovjet-Unie en later Rusland die meer dan 100 goals maakten.

CSKA Moskou speelde van 1961 tot 2000 in het Grigori Fedotov stadion dat naar hem genoemd werd.

Northern Ireland enquiry uncovers catalogue of abuse
By Sarah Mac Donald - 30 January, 2014
Harrowing accounts of psychological, physical and sexual abuse by former residents at Catholic orphanages.
"The truth is setting me free today more than this commission knows," said a former resident of an orphanage at Termonbacca in Derry, giving evidence to Northern Ireland's Historical Abuse Inquiry.
"I have come here to tell the truth and as I am reaching out, I am reaching out in healing and trying to forgive but at this moment I cannot."
Yesterday was the third day of evidence where former inmates of the homes in Northern Ireland related their harrowing stories of psychological, sexual and physical abuse.
The Historical Abuse Inquiry, which is being held in Banbridge, began with opening statements on 13th January. It is investigating abuse claims against children's residential institutions from 1922 to 1995. A total of thirteen residential institutions are being investigated by the inquiry, which is chaired by Sir Anthony Hart. So far it has received statements from 49 ex-residents of the two homes, but in all 434 people have contacted the inquiry to allege they were abused as children.
This week the focus has been on two homes in Derry, Nazareth House Children's Home and St Joseph's Home, Termonbacca both run by the Sisters of Nazareth.
At the start of the inquiry, apologies were read out by lawyers representing the Sisters of Nazareth and the De La Salle Brothers for the abuse suffered by children in their homes.
Yesterday a sixty five year old man gave evidence for an hour and a half. He told how he had siblings, five sisters who were in a nearby home, but who he did not know existed. At night he slept in saturated, urinated pyjamas to protect himself from abusers – older boys who were monitors. He said when he did not wet the bed by accident, he would do so on purpose to protect himself from the paedophiles.
He ended his testimony yesterday saying "I hope there will be vindication. These institutions were left to their own devices."
Testimony from the former residents over the past week has been harrowing and upsetting, with some breaking down and having to take a break from giving evidence.
Another witness said he was known at the home by his ID number. He said he was beaten repeatedly and habitually. Telling the inquiry of his time at the home, was "a day of freedom" he said, adding that through the inquiry he had met one of his brothers for the first time in decades.
"Looking into the eyes of my eldest brother – he threw his arms around me and we cried. They killed our family. I saw the face of man I dread to think what he must have endured because I was there at the same time."
One witness referred to the sisters as the 'Taliban', such was their cruelty, but he said some nuns were very kind as were paid workers there.
Instances of abuse described at the hearings included:
Bathing children in Jeyes fluid when they had wet the bed.
Separation of brothers and sisters, and not telling them they had siblings in the same home.
Removal of Christmas presents and other personal items.
Calling children by numbers rather than names.
Bullying and sexual abuse by peers.
Locking in cupboards or threatening to send them to a hospital for those with learning disabilities at Muckamore Abbey in Antrim.
Humiliating children, and beating them for bed wetting.
Forced farm labouring or working in the laundry instead of going to school.
Some of the institutions under investigation by the Historical Abuse Inquiry were run by state authorities, others by voluntary organisations and the remainder were operated by the Catholic Church.
The Public hearings of the Inquiry are due to finish in June 2015. The team is then to report to Stormont's power-sharing Executive by the start of 2016.
The Historic Abuse Inquiry does not have the power to find anyone guilty of a criminal offence, but if it does uncover evidence of criminality, the details will be reported to the police.

Another final and amazing day.
So, we tried today to find some camels to ride but it seems they were all busy working so no rides. We did pass groups of up to 20 though.
Location: Mekele, Ethiopia. 8 hours of driving.
Last nights campfire was a highlight. We were hanging out in a chilly night, under a super bright moon and stars. Baboons waking in the background.
We hiked 4 hours up hill to over 14,000 to an outstanding view on a mountaintop.
Most fabulous hike of the trip so far. Up we went in the morning.

AdvoCare Classic Announces Matchups Through 2019 Season
Posted on April 22, 2016 January 19, 2018 by bbass
The AdvoCare Classic has announced three additional premier matchups that will carry the series through the end of the decade.
The series continues a tradition of pitting two of college football's top powers against each other at AT&T Stadium, located in Arlington, TX. The series began in 2009 when Oklahoma, ranked No. 3 in the country and led by reigning Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford, suffered a 14-13 upset loss to No. 20 BYU. For the next decade the AdvoCare Classic produced compelling matchups, exciting finishes, and premier games to kick off the college football season, and the future matchups in store seem likely to continue that trend.
The 2017 contest will feature the Florida Gators making their first-ever appearance in AT&T Stadium. The Gators will matchup against the Michigan Wolverines in a major cross-sectional showdown. The game, which will be played on Saturday, September 2, will be the first meeting in the regular season between the teams, but their fourth meeting overall. Traditionally the teams have battled in bowl games, with Michigan owning the upper hand. Michigan collected wins against the Gators in the 2003 Outback Bowl (38-30), the 2008 Capital One Bowl (41-35), and just recently in the 2016 Buffalo Wild Wings Citrus Bowl (41-7).
In 2018 the LSU Tigers return to AT&T Stadium and the AdvoCare Classic for their third appearance in the series. Their foe will be the Miami Hurricanes of the ACC on Saturday, September 1. LSU and Miami last faced each other in the 2005 Chick-fil-A Bowl, with LSU collecting a resounding 40-3 victory. The Tigers also lead the all-time series 9-3. Miami's last win against the Tigers came in Tiger Stadium in 1988 when the Hurricanes drubbed the Tigers 44-3, tying the largest margin of victory in the series. LSU is 2-0 in its previous AdvoCare Classic appearances, defeating Oregon 40-27 to open the 2011 season and beating TCU 37-27 in 2012. Miami has not yet appeared in the AdvoCare Classic.
The 2019 contest continues the theme of pairing a newcomer with an AdvoCare Classic series veteran. On August 31, 2019, the Auburn Tigers and Oregon Ducks tangle in a rematch of the 2011 BCS Championship Game, the final game of the BCS era. The teams will meet for only the second time in history. Auburn defeated Oregon 22-19 on a field goal as time expired in the 2011 title game. Oregon's lone previous appearance in the series came in 2011 when they fell to another set of SEC Tigers, the LSU Tigers, 40-27.
Since 2009, the AdvoCare Classic has hosted three teams that played in the national championship game the previous season. That will happen again in 2016 when the reigning national champion Alabama Crimson Tide host the USC Trojans. Additionally, the AdvoCare Classic has served as a launching pad for teams advancing to the national championship game, with the AdvoCare Classic participant winning two of those national championship contests, most recently in 2015 (Alabama Crimson Tide).

Membership of 3,896 CHP members at stake for failing to vote for the party
| Sabah Photo
by Daily Sabah Oct 10, 2016 12:00 am
The main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) is considering to dismiss almost 4,000 party members after it was discovered that the party did not receive any votes in some ballot boxes where the members casted their ballots.
According to reports, the CHP's head office found out the names of party members who did not vote for the party in the November 1 general elections and is preparing to dismiss their membership in the upcoming Central Executive Board (MYK) meeting next week.
A total of 3,896 CHP members failed to vote for their party in the elections, reports said.
CHP Deputy Chairman Tekin Bingöl, who is in charge of the party's organization, said that they conducted an investigation to find out the identities of disloyal party members and obtained concrete information.
"We believe it is justified to end the membership of those who do not properly carry the party identity and who abstain from voting for their own party'' Bingöl said and added that the party's main goal is to ensure that all party members actively embrace the party's membership mission.
"We will have a face-to-face interview to identify these people's reasons. If they don't have reasonable cause such as illness and mandatory travel they will be expelled from the party by decision of the MYK," he added.
"We want from our fellow members to participate in all party activities, this is our main goal." Bingöl said while adding that the CHP currently has 1.2 million members and that they would like to increase the number of CHP members who can provide positive contributions to the party.
According to official results from Turkey's Supreme Election Board (YSK) in the Nov. 1 election, the ruling Justice and Development Party (AK Party) achieved a stunning victory with more than 49 percent of the vote, and received 317 seats, while the CHP came in second with a slight increase in its votes, managing to secure 25.3 percent and 134 seats. But the party only managed to receive 600,000 additional votes when the total number of the Turkish electorate increased by 2.1 million this time round. The Nationalist Movement Party's (MHP) votes dropped from 16.3 percent to 11.9 percent and the party lost 1.9 million votes and secured only 40 seats, whereas the Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) saw its votes drop by 900,000, going from 13.12 percent to 10.7 percent with 59 seats in Parliament.
Party chairman Kemal Kılıçdaroğlu described the election results as a failure on the part of the CHP.

Dubai has long caught attention due to its favorable conditions for entrepreneurs looking to make it big. Each of the UAE's free zones also offers a set of distinct advantages that differ from one to the next. For company formation in Dubai Silicon Oasis Free Zone (DSOA) which, along with the headline benefits listed above, also affords business owners a host of support services and an affordable, fast and straightforward setup process.
Business Setup in Dubai Silicon Oasis: This free zone is heart of Dubai when you want to the best markets of the Middle East, North Africa, Asia and the Indian subcontinent.
Convenient set up :A major factor behind its popularity is convenient setup service. The free zone offers fast-track business licensing with the entire application process taking no more than seven days – license and lease agreements are usually issued within just two days of submitting your legal documents and payment. Licenses start from just AED 18,700.
Many options for doing business and license: It describes itself as helping to 'facilitate and promote modern technology based industries. DSOA issues service, trade and industrial licenses to companies from all Department of Economic Development (DED) listed industries, plus IT.
Flexible setup and office options :While taking some form of office or desk space is a mandatory requirement, Dubai Silicon Oasis offers a broad range of setup options so you won't feel tied down. Flexi-desk package allows entrepreneurs use of its state-of-the art business facilities on an ad-hoc basis and it can come with a maximum of three visas.
Sufficient visa options :They allow three visas and taking office or warehouse space enables you to set up with multiple visas. The only caveat being the more visas you wish to apply for, the more space you'll be required to take.
Sponsor dependents for their visas: As well as applying for plenty of visas for your employees, it's also very straightforward to sponsor your dependents for their visa applications as well. Whether you require a visa for a spouse, child, maid or driver, the process is four straightforward stages. Keep in mind, however, that the sponsoring process is usually slightly easier for men than women.
Set up with multiple shareholders: Setting up a free zone establishment in DSOA allows you to go it alone and maintain sole control of your business. If, however, you wish to set up with a partner – or partners – you also have that option. For that, Dubai Silicon Oasis allows you to establish a free zone company with anywhere between two and five shareholders.
Auditing and book keeping requirements: These requirements make it one of the most respected free zones among banks and other professional institutions. However, while auditing and bookkeeping is mandatory, that's not to say it's excessive. All businesses registered in the free zone must simply submit yearly books and undergo an annual audit.
There are a number of steps that need to be undertaken, some complex, some less so. The first thing to do is choose your business activity. From here you can decide on your company name, complete and file your registration paperwork with the relevant authorities, open a bank account, and apply for any visas that may be required.

Chad Business
Chad is one of the region's poorest countries. Drought, civil war and administrative problems have contributed to the economy not developing. The economy is based on agriculture, which employs about 80 percent of the labor force. Housing demand cultivation dominates, and only about 5 percent of the population has money income. Underemployment and hidden unemployment are widespread, as are seasonal labor migration to neighboring countries.
In the early 1990s, oil was discovered in the southern parts of the country, and oil production started in the early 2000s. In 2003, a 1,000-km-long oil pipeline was opened to the port city of Kribi in Cameroon, which has contributed to oil exports becoming the country's most important source of income.
According to COUNTRYAAH, only 3 percent of the country's area is cultivated. Agriculture, which is undeveloped, is concentrated in southern Chad. Nomadising livestock breeding is found mostly in the middle parts of the country. In the north, single crops occur in oases. In the 1970s and 1980s, Chad suffered from recurring droughts and famine disasters. Even during the 1990s, the country was plagued several times by severe drought. However, during years of normal rainfall, the country is almost self-sufficient with food. Cotton is grown for export. The most important consumption crops are sorghum, millet, beans, sesame, sweet potato and cassava.
Chad has rich mineral resources, but civil war and poor infrastructure have slowed recovery. In the early 1990s, oil was found on Lake Chad, but internal unrest prevented production from commencing until the early 2000s. Nowadays it is the country's most important source of income. The fishing in Lake Chad and in the rivers Logone and Chari are rewarding. Most of the catch is consumed in the country. The majority of the country's households use firewood, which has resulted in the destruction of large parts of the country's forest stock.
In addition to the oil industry, the industrial sector is small; Chad is one of Africa's least industrialized countries. An insignificant domestic market as well as a lack of raw materials and educated labor are obstacles to the expansion of the industry. Many facilities were also destroyed during the civil war. The industry that exists, after all, is focused on the processing of agricultural products (textiles, food and tobacco). The industry is highly concentrated in the cities of N'Djamena, Moundou and Sarh.
Chad has had a large trade deficit for many years and was therefore dependent on foreign (mainly French) aid. However, oil deposits in southern Chad have led to a substantial increase in export revenues and the country now has a surplus in the trade balance. Foreign trade is made more difficult by unrest, large distances and inadequate communications. Smuggling (mainly of live animals) occurs to a large extent.
The main export goods are oil, cotton and cotton products, live animals and meat. Imports mainly comprise machinery and transport equipment, factory products, fuel, chemicals and food. The most important trading partners are the USA, China, France and Cameroon.

VicHealth launches new competition to tackle the impact of alcohol harm on young people.
A new initiative from health promotion foundation VicHealth seeks to mobilise young Victorians fed up with the incessant marketing and manipulation from the alcohol industry.
Top Spin, a statewide competition, will ask young people to call out the sneaky tactics the industry uses to influence them to drink and promote the ideas they have to create change.
Data recently released by the Australian Institute for Health and Welfare* shows the proportion of people aged 18-29 drinking at risky levels significantly declined in the six years to 2016. Despite the positive trend, young people are still more likely to come to harm from alcohol than any other age group.
VicHealth CEO Jerril Rechter said this generation of young people were more aware of the harmful impact of alcohol and less likely to fall prey to the alcohol industry's tactics.
"While Victorians in their 20s are still more likely than other age groups to drink in a risky way, they are drinking less than previous generations at the same age and they are more supportive of action to reduce the harms caused by alcohol," Ms Rechter said.
In response to this change, Top Spin, a creative competition, aims to get young Victorians talking, and taking action, about the role alcohol plays in their lives, including the influence of the alcohol industry.
The five-week competition seeks to highlight the tactics in alcohol advertising, the connection between sport and alcohol, the alcohol industry's political influence and the boozy culture young adults encounter during major life transitions, like starting uni or getting their first job.
Dr Michael Livingston from the Centre for Alcohol Policy Research at La Trobe University said the alcohol industry needed to be held accountable for its harmful business model and he hoped this generation of young people would be the ones to do it.
"With the advance of social media and an emphasis on being healthy, many young people are drinking less which is certainly not in the alcohol industry's best interests," Dr Livingston said.
Ms Rechter said Top Spin was about supporting young people to peel back the curtains and uncover the tactics used by the alcohol industry.
"There are a number of factors that influence the way we drink but the millions of dollars spent by the alcohol industry in advertising and lobbying certainly plays a big role," Ms Rechter said.
"While young people today are savvier than previous generations, we know that many haven't considered how advertising and other alcohol industry tactics might be influencing their own decisions when it comes to drinking. For example, how many of us actually stop to think about the reasons behind the saturation of alcohol advertising at our major sporting events?
"The alcohol industry doesn't care about young people's health or wellbeing – it makes money off young people drinking to excess.
Partners supporting the initiative include Melbourne University, Monash University, Swinburne University, YMCA Victoria, Youth Affairs Council Victoria, Australian Graphic Design Association and the Alcohol Policy Coalition.
Since 2010, the number of young people drinking at risky levels has declined significantly (from 31% in 2010 to 18.5% in 2016).
In 2016, young people were more likely to have reduced the number of times they drank at risky levels compared to older age groups.
The proportion of teenagers abstaining from drinking significantly increased from 72% to 82% between 2013-2016 – up from 54% in 2004.
1 in 5 Australians aged 14 and over (equivalent to 4.4 million people) had been a victim of an alcohol-related incident.
Alcohol-related hospitalisations for people aged 15-24 years have increased in Victoria by 24% since 2009/2010.
People in their late teens and early 20s were more likely to consume 11 or more standard drinks at least monthly than people in other age groups.
NB:* Unless otherwise stated, all statistics are from the 2016 AIHW National Drug Strategy Household Survey, which surveyed almost 24,000 people across Australia on their tobacco, alcohol and illicit drug use, attitudes and opinions.
