IRS Updates Form 990-EZ for 2016
The IRS released an updated Form 990-EZ, Short Form Return of Organization Exempt from Income Tax with the purpose of helping small to mid-size tax-exempt organizations avoid common mistakes. Tax-exempt organizations whose gross receipts are less than $200,000 and have total assets less than $500,000 may file as their annual return the Form 990-EZ instead of the full Form 990.
The new Form 990-EZ contains 29 pop-up icons which provide important information organizations should keep in mind when completing the form. Some of the icons include links to various IRS publications that discuss the topics more in depth. These icons should work on any device with Adobe Acrobat Reader and internet access.
"We've been reviewing the areas of the form where exempt organizations encounter the most trouble," said IRS Commissioner John Koskinen in a statement issued by the IRS. "One out of three paper filers has an error on their form. After reviewing these trouble spots, we developed this new option to help groups navigate the form. This common-sense approach is designed to make it easier for exempt organizations to avoid problems up front – and avoid getting a follow-up contact from the IRS."
The IRS also reminded exempt organizations to review the IRS Form 990-EZ instructions and that these new icons should simply serve as an additional tool to facilitate the completion of the form.
The annual Form 990 filing for tax-exempt organizations is due no later than 4.5 months after the close of the organization's tax year. For organizations with a December 31 year end, their Form 990 is due by May 15 unless an extension is requested.
Form 1023-EZ Data Available Online
The IRS recently announced online access to data from organizations that have used Form 1023-EZ, the streamlined application for requesting recognition as an organization described in section 501(c)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code (announcement available here).
The data is in spreadsheet format and includes information for approved applications beginning in mid-2014 through 2016 (data available here). The information will be updated quarterly. More than 105,000 applications for exemption submitted on the Form 1023-EZ from 2014 through 2016 were approved by the IRS.
Previously, Form 1023-EZ data was only available through a lengthier process that included completing and submitting Form 4506-A to the IRS.
The release of this information reveals certain weaknesses in the IRS's review of such applications. For example, churches that opt to apply for recognition of 501(c)(3) status from the IRS are not permitted to use Form 1023-EZ. However, some commentators (such as Nonprofit Law Prof Blog) have noted that 623 of the organizations that used Form 1023-EZ include "church" in their name and that nearly 500 of such organizations appear to be operating as churches.

THE SOUTH PEARL
This territory is one of the country's national monuments. It is located 250 km southeast of Havana . The South Pearl is precisely the name given to the beautiful capital of Cienfuegos province, whose historical centre has been listed since 2005 as one of the privileged places designated by UNESCO as a world heritage site.
The area honoured by the celebrated United Nations' entity comprises 70 blocks, including the exact place that served as a starting point for the founding of the town by French settlers on 22 April 1819. Thus, the well-known South Pearl is the only Cuban city established by people from that European nation.
José Martí Park is located in an area that used to be known as the Parade Ground. A rosette indicates the exact place where the first blocks were erected in a city caressed by a beautiful coastal strip.
In the area around the park there are very well preserved buildings such as Tomás Terry Theater, where famous stars like Italian tenor Erico Carusso, the French lady Sara Bernhardt and Mexican movie actor Jorge Negrete, among others, have performed.
Near the park, there is also San Lorenzo College, a former School of Arts and Crafts; Our Lady of the Purest Conception Cathedral; the Government Palace and the Founder's House, Luis D'Clouet's residence, the region's governor.
The Arch of the Republic adds to the good taste and distinction of the environment. This arch is one of a kind in Cuba as well as a series of beautiful sculptures and the arbour built in 1922, as a visual treat to all visitors.
In the beginning, the South Pearl was called Fernandina de Jagua, a territory that was designated a villa in 1829 and a city in 1880, on the basis of the area's population increase, its gradual agricultural and industrial development and important seaport.
Its neoclassic and eclectic buildings have become this villa's pride ever since, showing an impressive harmony complementing the roads' straight and wide layout , which enhances this 19 th century architectural jewel's design.
Its beautiful promenade is the longest in the country and the harbour has an area of 88 sq km. It is perfect for fishing, while it is also a permanent site for international regatta and motorboating competitions.
Imperishable singer Beny Moré, an outstanding musician who was born in the nearby town called Santa Isabel de las Lajas, had reason to write in one of his songs: " Cienfuegos is the city I like the most".

Rancho Luna Beach Cienfuegos
Many visitors to Cuba are overwhelmed at just how unauthentic places like Varadero have become. Almost completely devoid of that Cubaness you went to Cuba in the first place to experience. Rancho Luna Beach in Cienfuegos is however different, since it seems to encapsulate this whole cubaism we all search in Cuba, in one small stretch of sand. It's very local, not too touristic and this shows because young Cuban mothers are bathing their children here and, old Cubans are reading [...]
Castillo de Jagua Fortress Cienfuegos
Plagued by bandits, buccaneers and pirates, Spanish king Philip V decided to build a fortress in Cienfuegos to protect the entrance to the city's bay in the 1740s. It was originally called the Castillo de Nuestra Senora de los Angeles de Jagua due to the name of the location known as Jagua, just outside the city. The Jagua Fortress or in Spanish Castillo de Jagua. It was declared a National Monument on October 10, 1978 and opened as a museum [...]

After the Great Wall we very hungry. We jumped on the bus and were taken to a restaurant for a quick bite to eat. After being well nourished with some delicious Chinese food, (it's sooooo much better than the stuff at home!) the tour continued on taking us to the Summer Palace.
Back in the day an Emperor decided he was keen to sort himself out with a summer bach (crib if you're from the south) so he commissioned hundreds of artisans to design a place for him, his concubines and his family members to hang out in in the summer season. He got heaps of workers to excavate a 2.2 square km lake.
With the rest of the dirt taken from the lake he built a huge hill (which he called the longevity hill) upon which a huge palace was put.
For the rest of the grounds, he placed gardens, more palaces and houses for his concubines. Which apparently he had a QUITE a few of. A busy man.
We walked around this beautiful, frozen landscape marveling at the lifestyle these Emperors had. Not a bad summer getaway location, really!
We did notice that there a lot of rules about what you were and weren't allowed to do at this amazing location. Pity the sign was right beside the exit though!
We thought the no trumpet playing was a bit random. And a bit rough.
By this time of the day we were sore, cold, hungry and tired. We had conquered The Great Wall and had walked around a big, pretty lake in -4c temperatures. After a quick feed we went back to the hotel where two ladies were there to rub our aches and pains away.
The next day was our free day, a day where we could explore the streets of Beijing Kiwi style! After hitting the buffet and nicking some more butter we jumped in a taxi and went towards the Lama temple, a Tibetan monastery in the northeastern part of Beijing. We arrived there early before the crowds which was lovely; as we walked the streets at this early time of morning we had them almost to ourselves.
Being enthralled at the novelty of being in Beijing without the throngs of tourists we decided we would go for a wander and check out some of the streets close to the temple.
We found a nice cafe and sat in the window sipping lattes with the sun streaming in, a nice change from the previous two days of cold and snow. The cafe itself was really cool – an interesting mix of temple-like architecture with modern coffee machines and even a choice of beans.
On the way back towards the Lama temple we saw big walls and an entry gate and realised that we had stumbled on a Confucius temple. We wandered in and enjoyed the tranquility of its buildings and gardens that we had pretty much all to ourselves.
We heard sounds coming from one of the buildings and followed our ears, discovering in one of the beautiful buildings a quartet of female musicians jamming out on traditional instruments. Being two of the few people there it felt almost like a personal concert.
We left the Confucian temple feeling very wise and amazed by its coolness. Dan, a sucker for a good gift shop, brought a couple of cool pieces of art (which i'm sure some of the readers will check out in future Kiwi residents) and a couple of books.
As we walked up the road we started to see the tourists again. Before long it was back to the good old fighting through queues and ignoring beggars and shop keeps as we headed towards the Lama temple.
The Lama temple was a beautiful mixture of interested tourists and dutiful locals, praying to the heavens. The smell of incense permeated the air.
And increasing in size to this whopper measuring in at 26 metres! It is carved from a single piece of sandalwood – pretty impressive.
The grounds were full of monks, temples, gardens, and, by this stage of the day, unfortunately heaps of tourists. In saying that we were also sightseeing….
After getting a serious dose of Chinese culture we decided to continue in this vein and head to the famous "Snack Street". Unfortunately we discovered it was not open until the evening.
With a plan to head back this way later in the night, we instead walked around the downtown area and were buzzed out by the contrast between the Beijing we had seen in the morning and the Beijing we were experiencing in this area. Huge Nike billboards, gargantuan shopping malls and buildings, big buildings. It sort of brought us back to reality a bit.
So far, today had been primo.
By this stage of the day, it was time to make the mission back to Snack Street. We were gagging with anticipation having heard about all the random treats that were in store for us.
Right, so what to try first?! Trays and trays of wares lovingly laid out and temptingly tantalising.
Perhaps some silk worm larvae as an entree?
The snake looked pretty good; unfortunately, it had the texture of tyre rubber and was bland as anything. Oh well, perhaps some crickets will be tastier? Or a scorpion? What the heck, let's try both!
But still no satisfaction. We pondered what was missing in our lives and made a wise-crack to one of the vendors who was selling dog-meat about whether they had any cat instead.
To our surprise, he reached under the counter and pulled out a cat kebab. Now that we HAD to try.
To conclude the tasting, Dan opted for some bee cocoon (did you know bees had cocoons? We still can't quite figure that one out) and a stick of beetles.
H-J was quite full of bugs and pets by this point so declined both for which she was later extremely grateful – as Dan complained for the rest of the night of having beetle legs stuck in his teeth. Needless to say, these particular snacks were his least favourite.
By this time night had well and truly fallen on Snack Street and we our appetites for the unusual were sated. We called it quits and bid adieu to Snack Street.
It was now time to head to our last destination of the day – the appropriately named Red Theatre, where we were going to see a Kung Fu show performed Shaolin Monks. Its not every day you get to say that so we were pretty amped. After trying for around half an hour to get a taxi that wasn't going to hustle us (they suddenly all went "off the meter" around the tourist filled Snack Street) we flew towards the theatre and before we knew it, it loomed gloriously in front of us.
No photos here but to sum it up the show was absolutely mind-blowingly cool. Monks flipped and fought and tumbled for an hour and a half in ways which we previously couldn't fathom. For all the fact they're performing in a slightly cheesy (i.e. they attempted to have a story line) stage show clearly made for tourists, these guys are the real deal and you certainly wouldn't want to be coming across them in an alleyway. This is a show which tours the world quite regularly, so if you do get the chance to see it, we highly recommend it.
Now THAT's how to spend your last day of the year.
Ps. This was New Years Eve. The transition between calendar years isn't a big deal in countries like China or Korea, where they celebrate the Lunar New Year instead (23rd of January this year). So how did we spend it? Well, drinking in a hotel room with a bunch of very young foreign teachers, playing an extremely tame version of circle of death. LOL.
Was that Raiden and Chun Li at the Kung Fu Show? Ahdoogit, Fatality!
Fantastic. A lot of people are visiting China from the west. And your trip looked like it was a blast.
I have to say we're a bit spoiled having China as our next door neighbour currently! Its so quick to fly there and provides such a refreshing contrast to Korea. We're definitely keen to explore more it.
With this post, you two are my new heroes. I like to think I'm an adventurous eater, but I still have a lot of mental/social hang-ups when it comes to insects. So nice to see you two attack the street food with not only no fear, but an enthusiasm that makes me jealous!
Haha thanks! Eating is certainly one of our favourite activities and always a priority when we travel…we've been known to go extremely long distances to make our tummies happy. Part of our willingness to eat anything is due to the fact that we can then tease our vegetarian/vegan (or cat loving!) friends afterwards, haha. But more than that, as meat eaters its hard to justify what makes one meat acceptable and not another – and when you travel we think its important to let these boundaries down a bit so you can really get down to what makes a culture tick. My students recoiled in horror today when I explained that we eat lamb in New Zealand – they could not understand it. Conversely, most Kiwis wouldn't be able to face eating dog.
I really think that's great; I know people who make the effort to travel to exotic places, but will only eat Western food, and only from chains. This seems like a waste to me – part of the fun and excitement of travel (for me, at least) is eating things you don't get to eat back home. And I think important to the overall experience of another culture.
Too true! Admittedly we will travel for pie/NZ cheese/a decent steak but our favourite meals in Korea have been the more intrepid things – like tripe and soondae at Fried Guy or fresh oysters by the beach. It also makes people respect you more when you're prepared to not be freaked out by their food!
I miss China a lot!
Kudos for trying the scorpions as well. I did try a lot of street food…… but could never bring myself to eat the creepy crawlies.
And lol at the Confucius photo. Doesn't he look so much like Yoda?!
Which in turn means that Dan must look somewhat like Yoda too, ahahahahahahahahahahahaha.
Hahaha maybe more like Obi-Wan Kenobi with the beard and all haha???

"Her voice is incredible. It's one of a kind … no limitations," added WiLL Made It, who is behind hits like Juicy J's "Bandz a Make Her Dance" and Rihanna's "Pour It Up.". Others aren't sure if talent is the reason behind it. "Whether you're a Miley fan or not, she is the girl of the moment," said Cori Murray, entertainment director at Essence magazine. "Business is business. They're in the music business; she's the girl of the moment, so why not get on record with the girl of the moment? That's as basic as it's going to get.".
In fact, it was ahead of its time in a lot of ways, which might make it the ultimate girl-coming-of-age movie, For its 30th anniversary this year, "Dirty Dancing" was just remade into an unnecessary TV live broadcast, which I decided to avoid and, based on reviews, that was a good idea, The age of Brat Pack ballerina invitation, ballerina birthday party invitation, ballet birthday invitation, ballerina party invite, party printables America, What finally prompted me to instead sit down and watch the original film, as well as revisit my own old favorites, was reading San Francisco author Kevin Smokler's fun new look at '80s teen movies: "Brat Pack America."..
What motivates me: I am only 4 feet 11 and have a tendency to put on weight easily. This workout regimen at least keeps me in shape and actually curbs my appetite. It also has been a wonderful social experience for me because once you retire, it becomes more difficult to meet people. The hardest part: Finding the right classes and instructors that provide a positive and safe environment where I always feel challenged. What it teaches me: I have never been as strong as I am today. The combination of daily exercise with a balanced diet has given me renewed energy, and I now feel younger than I did at 45. I am blessed to have my children and grandchildren nearby, and it is important to me that I help reinforce the message that living a healthy life can be both fun and rewarding. My four grandchildren are in awe that I can still do the splits.

Sullivan & Cromwell's Tax Group works with clients on all aspects of their tax controversies, from the audit level, to the administrative appeals level, to litigation in court.
The Group seeks to manage and resolve tax disputes for its clients without resorting to costly and time-consuming litigation. S&C believes that it is far better to approach tax controversies with a view toward resolving the matters at the earliest possible stage of the process and at the lowest possible cost to the client, both in terms of any payment to the Internal Revenue Service and the expense of achieving such results. The ultimate goal is to eliminate entirely any proposed adjustment, a result the Firm has often achieved for its clients.
The Firm's work draws upon two particular strengths:
The Tax Group consists of lawyers who have extensive knowledge of the tax law as well as the workings of the IRS, including a former chief counsel for the agency.
The Litigation Group brings its advanced and effective approach to corporate litigation to help the Tax Group lawyers develop the most effective way to resolve their cases.
Clients benefit from a team of knowledgeable tax lawyers and accomplished litigators working in close cooperation—the best of both skill sets and the most effective response to increasingly sophisticated and confrontational IRS challenges.
Recent tax controversy highlights include representing:
a European Company's U.S. subsidiary, in an IRS examination of a refund claim for the Extraterritorial Income Exclusion involving access to journal articles on an electronic database in countries other than the United States. The amount at issue was in excess of $110 million in tax and, at the IRS appeals level, S&C was successful in preserving all but $400,000 of the refund claim. We believe that this case involved the largest ETI refund to date.
a non-U.S. multinational company, in an IRS examination involving a dual consolidated loss issue which the IRS examination team raised at the "11th hour" of the examination. The IRS examination team was seeking an adjustment in excess of $1 billion. Working less than two months on the issue, S&C was able to convince the LBI case manager and LBI territory manager that the losses were not in fact dual consolidated losses, and the issue was dropped.
a U.S. Real Estate Holding Company, in an IRS examination where the IRS examination team originally was seeking tax, interest and penalties of almost $80 million. Numerous issues were involved, including constructive dividends and the use of a corporate plane; it is also highly likely that the examination was triggered by a whistleblower filling with the IRS. Eventually a potential $46 million case went to IRS appeals and the IRS appeals office conceded 93% of the case (totaling $43 million).
the U.S. subsidiary of a non-U.S. bank at the IRS appeals level where the IRS examination team set up a so-called Foreign Tax Credit Generator issue (value at about $50 million). S&C filed a written protest and then convinced the IRS appeals officers to make an 85% concession on the issue; we are not aware of any other taxpayer who received more than a 35% concession with respect to this issue.

Anyone heard anything about Damien Duff joining the coaching staff. Seems he was over for a look around and talks last week.
Wee Maloney's gig. Read a article about it said " he would swim over to work for Celtic ". Top bhoy.
Sounds like he's a cert to replac3 maloney.
Was he at Chelsea when Rodgers was coach there? Seems like a good fit, saying that I've no idea what his coaching credentials are.
Agree with that ed, the Under 20 job would of been a step up from the U15 job he had at Liverpool and the job he ended up taking.
Jim McGuiness what ever happened to him? Was he not working with our youths and a very highly rated coach.

I know how to make requests from the front-end and to connect it with the back-end, but here, what I need, is to do a request from the back to the back.
I also don't understand what the Pageable object is for and how to create it since it is an interface :
public interface Pageable {

    int getPageNumber();

    int getPageSize();

    int getOffset();

    Sort getSort();

    Pageable next();

    Pageable previousOrFirst();

    Pageable first();

    boolean hasPrevious();
}

A: Vinzee,
All you need is a new service using scheduling. See below excerpt
@Service
@Transactional
public class ScheduleService {
   //send mails daily at 1am
   @Scheduled(cron = "0 0 1 * * ?")
   public void sendDailyMails{
      //call userRepository.findAll
      //create mail content or use a template (e.g. Velocity)
      //for each user call MailService.sendMail
      //passing content, to(user.getEmail()), from, etc;
  }

Q: An Integration Services class cannot be found I have written a win forms application that runs a DTSX package.  The package works fine on my machine, but I cannot get it to run on my other machine.  Do I need to have SQL or SSIS installed on that machine too?  If so, SSIS isn't free so would I be able to use my license from my other SQL instance to get SSIS onto this machine?

A: Yes, you will need to install SQL Server Integration Services on each machine that expects to execute an SSIS package.
Yes, that will incur a licensing cost and no, it's not going to be cheap. Feel free to consult your licensing agent to confirm/deny this.
Alternatives to this approach generally boil down to making remote calls to the sql server instance to run the requested package. Whether you create a custom windows/web service on that server, make use of SQL Agent or a TSQL call is really dependent on how you like to solve problems.

Batgirl Set Photo Has Fans Hoping for a Young Justice Villain's DCEU Debut
A set photo from production on the upcoming Batgirl movie has fans speculating Klarion the Witch Boy, a key Young Justice villain, may make his DC Extended Universe debut in the film.
Posted to r/DCEUleaks on Reddit, the image, which was taken on the set of Batgirl in Glasgow, Scotland, shows a silhouette that resembles Klarion's. This resulted in a number of comments speculating this Easter egg may indicate that Klarion is playing some role in the film. Additionally, another photo in the set features a place called "Bressi," which may be a reference to Batman villain Anthony Bressi. At this time, neither Klarion or Bressi are confirmed for Batgirl, and even if these Easter eggs are present in the final cut, there's no guarantee either character will appear on screen.
RELATED: Batgirl Fans Believe They've Spotted One of Batman's Oldest Villains in Leaked Set Photo
Created y Jack Kirby, Klarion the Witch Boy first appeared in 1973's The Demon #7. Klarion uses evil magic to defeat his foes and originally served as an enemy of Etrigan the Demon. However, over the years, Klarion has become more associated with Young Justice. The character appeared in the Young Justice animated series, where he was voiced by Thom Adcox-Hernandez.
Created by Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan, Bressi debuted in 1992's Robin III: Cry of the Huntress #1. Bressi is a criminal connected to Gotham's crime families. Bressi actually played a key role in Scott Beatty, Chuck Dixon, Marcos Martin and Alvaro Lopez's Batgirl: Year One, which released in 2003. In that story, Bressi serves as a major antagonist for Batgirl and is connected to Firefly, who will be played in the DCEU film by Brendan Fraser.
RELATED: Batgirl Set Photo Brings a New Robin to the DCEU
These potential references are the latest teases from Batgirl set photos. Recent set photos also have fans speculating Hugo Strange -- one of Batman's oldest villains -- may play a role or be referenced in the film. Other set photos have provided a look at Michael Keaton's Bruce Wayne/Batman and his Robin.
Announced in 2017, Batgirl was originally slated to be written, directed and produced by Avengers' Joss Whedon. However, Whedon left the project not long after. While production seemingly stalled out on the project, Bad Boys for Life directors Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah later signed on to the film. Christina Hodson, who wrote The Flash, Birds of Prey and Bumblebee, penned the script, which stars Leslie Grace.
Starring Leslie Grace as Barbara Gordon/Batgirl, Batgirl will premiere exclusively on HBO Max. The film does not yet have a release date.

Nantucket courthouse prepares for Kevin Spacey media circus
By: Blair Miller
Updated: January 4, 2019 - 7:24 PM
NANTUCKET, Mass. — Inside a small, unassuming courtroom in the heart of Nantucket, court officials are preparing for Monday and the widespread attention expected surrounding Kevin Spacey.
The veteran actor faces criminal charges in Nantucket County, accused of groping an 18-year-old man in a restaurant in 2016.
[ Court records detail video of Spacey's encounter with teenager ]
On Monday, Spacey will be formally arraigned.
His lawyers filed a motion hoping Spacey wouldn't have to be there in person.
That order was denied.
"The proceeding can be a matter of minutes," Boston 25 Legal Analyst Peter Elikann said. "No longer than around two minutes or so."
He said he expects little legal drama next week beyond the media circus surrounding the Oscar-winning actor.
But he also said the case is very defensible and not a slam dunk for prosecutors.
"I expect them to fight this all the way. This is not one of those cases where it's on video and he better just hope for a plea and a good sentence," he said. "I see this case going the distance and it very well could wind up at trial."
And while the attention will swarm Nantucket -- and some are concerned about the pre-trial publicity -- Elikann says it will be hard for Spacey to escape it anywhere.
"Sometimes when there's too much publicity in a particular geographic area, you go to another area where they don't know you as well and that's not gonna work here," he explained. "It's not as if it's not gonna be a media circus in Nantucket but if we moved it to another part of the state, they wouldn't know Kevin Spacey. He's known everywhere."
If convicted, Spacey could face years in prison and could have to register as a sex offender.

Marshall Family supports Trades Programs at Mohawk College
A local family is making another major gift to support skilled trades training in Hamilton
MARSHALL FAMILY MAKES $1.5 MILLION COMMITMENT TO TRADES PROGRAMS AT MOHAWK COLLEGE
HAMILTON, ONTARIO (Aug. 16, 2017) – A local family is making another major gift to support skilled trades training in Hamilton.
The Marshall family today announced they will donate $1.5 million for apprenticeship programs at Mohawk College's Stoney Creek campus.
Mohawk recognized the family with the naming of the Marshall School of Skilled Trades & Apprenticeship at the Stoney Creek campus.
In 2006, the family honored their late father Gerald Marshall by supporting major construction and renovations at the Stoney Creek Campus and in recognition for their outstanding support the building was named the Gerald Marshall Centre for Transportation.
The family continues to host an annual fundraiser that celebrated its 10th anniversary last year. This year's event is being held on October 13th at the Grand Olympia in Stoney Creek.
"The Marshall family are great champions of the skilled trades and outstanding supporters of apprentices, students and our college. We're proud to recognize their generous support by naming our School of Apprenticeship & Skilled Trades in their honour." – Mohawk College President Ron McKerlie
"Skilled tradespeople have been essential to the success of our family businesses and to the strength of our community. We hope our family's support for Mohawk College inspires others to give and to pursue rewarding careers in the skilled trades." – Jo-Anne Spadafora
Mohawk is the largest trainer of apprentices in Ontario, with more than 4,500 apprentices and students enrolled in 17 apprentice programs and 19 certificate and diploma programs at the Stoney Creek campus.
In 2006 the Marshall family's donation, supporting construction and renovations at the Stoney Creek campus, was the largest private gift given to Mohawk.
In 2010, Mohawk named the Gerald Marshall Centre for Transportation in honor of the late Gerald Marshall who founded a trucking company and helped open Marshall Truck and Trailer Repair in Hamilton.

Our Websites Are Getting Too Fat
A lot of us these are trying to stay healthy and watch our weight through dieting and exercise. But how many of us are watching the "weight" of our websites?
It may be more important than you think. In fact, the internet may be in the midst of a major obesity epidemic of its own.
What do we mean? We'll let Wired magazine put it in perspective:
"Today the average webpage is about the same size, data-wise, as the classic computer game Doom, according to software engineer Ronan Cremin.
A compressed copy of the installer for the shareware version of Doom takes up about 2.39MB of space. Today's average webpage, meanwhile, requires users to download about 2.3MB worth of data, according to HTTP Archive, a site that tracks website performance and the technologies they use."
That's huge, in more ways than one. The average website takes up just as much space as "a multi-level first person shooter that ships with an advanced 3D rendering engine and multiple levels, each comprised of maps, sprites, and sound effects," as Cremin puts it.
As internet connections have grown faster over the years, many web developers have grown complacent about taking advantage of that speed. These days, so many of us are so eager to stuff our sites with every bell or whistle we can get our hands on – from analytics scripts to super-high resolution photos to auto-playing GIFs, videos, or animated ads – that we're forgetting about our users and their experience.
In other words, web developers have grown so enamored with function that many have forgotten about efficiency. Large, bloated sites may be extremely slow to load. They may be laggy or unresponsive on mobile devices, or next-to-impossible to access for the 2.3 million (2.3 million!) net users who still rely on dial-up providers such as AOL.
And from a content marketing perspective, all of this really matters. It's important to remember that, for your users and your brand, absolutely every second and every megabyte counts. Consider, for instance, that:
- 47% of consumers expect a webpage to load in two seconds or fewer, and a full 40% will abandon a website that takes more than three seconds to load.
- Users are not much more lenient on mobile: Most users surveyed by Kissmetrics would wait just six to ten seconds for a mobile page to load.
- Page load time is also directly tied to user loyalty: 52% of online shoppers say that quick loading is "important" to their site loyalty, and 79% of shoppers who are "dissatisfied" with website performance are unlikely to buy from the same site again.
- "Code bloat" negatively impacts your SEO. The longer and clunkier your code, the harder it is for "web crawlers" to scan, decreasing your visibility. And if users avoid your site due to longer load times, search engines will notice and follow suit, hurting your rankings even further.
- The web's top 10 sites (per Alexa rankings) are "significantly lighter than the rest," according to MobiForge. Even more interesting? While the web as a whole is getting heavier, these top sites have "turned the corner," and are in fact getting lighter every month.
The bottom line? Now more than ever, if you want your site to continue drawing in traffic and converting leads, it's important to take a look at it with fresh, critical eyes. It could make all the difference: A one-second improvement in page response can mean a 7% increase in conversions.
Ready to jump-start your landing page? That's where we come in. Our experienced development team knows all of the ins and outs of designing for the modern web. From SEO to visual content to loading time, Geek has you covered. Why not drop us a line today to get the conversation started?

The opening bars of Mozart's Fantasia in D minor are a gateway to an inviting sonic escape. Through the sombre arpeggios of the Andante, the weeping Adagio, the fiery Presto, all the way to the final resolution of the Allegretto, one is left surprised, seduced and seeking more.
It was on an autumn evening eight years ago that I performed this unfinished Fantasia. This was the first piece of classical music I played on stage- an evening that marked the beginning of my strange romance with the piano. I was thirteen, and overwhelmed with life at boarding school. While most of my classmates romanced their first crushes, my eyes followed only the fingers of concert pianists, with little success. Drawn by its emotional depth and intellectual rigour, I spent all my time listening to classical music, and imagining possible endings of the Fantasia. I felt great joy thinking that perhaps Mozart would've ended it just like that. Or that. Or maybe like that. Over the years I would get great fulfilment by playing and listening to music, but my affair was incomplete. The world of western art music was a mere construction in my mind- a lopsided combination of my imagination and assimilated information. It was like I'd fallen in love with a girl over the phone, if that's possible.
Yes, I had heard hundreds of pieces, watched documentaries, read books and journals, but there is a strange magic in watching a piece of music come alive in front of your eyes. It cannot be described. It cannot be imitated. It cannot be imagined. The desire to feel this magic, and experience the world that had inspired this vast body of art began to consume me. I had never been to a live concert, never known what it would feel like to watch a pianist try to conquer the toughest pieces ever written for the instrument. I wanted to meet the girl that I had only imagined so far, and over the years this turned from a whim into a deep longing.
This would finally happen years later at the historical centre of the world of classical music – the Austrio-Hungarian Empire. The summer of 2017 arrived, and with expectations of almost a spiritual awakening, I left for a journey to the two capital cities of the Habsburg empire – Prague and Vienna.
It is said that music is like liquid architecture and architecture like frozen music. This was just another romantic proverb for me until I set foot in Prague. The homeland of Dvořák, Kafka, David Černý and Filla is a visual and aural feast. The stunning architecture traverses centuries, replete with gothic, baroque, and renaissance masterpieces. Music is everywhere, and the silence of quaint neighbourhoods is broken only by strains of Janáček floating in the air. Whether sauntering across Charles Bridge or an obscure beer garden with quirky art, Prague is full of surprises. The endearing cobbled lanes; historic jazz clubs and luscious art make this city no less than a fairy tale for the aimless wanderer. Carefree and lost, I simply walked where the city led me. While I did satisfy my desire to attend classical concerts, it seemed like Prague was urging me into a dalliance with a new lover.
I found myself in Reduta Jazz club – the oldest and cutest one in town. Famous for having hosted artists like Louis Armstrong, Ronnie Scott and B.B. King, this venue was a rare spectacle. From the saxophone shaped beer taps to the red curtains and the unusual seating, it was clear that this club had lost none of its character in sixty years. Once the music began, the visuals were irrelevant as Jiri Strivin abducted me into a world of sound. The man's theatrics, jolly sense of humour and his spilling his drink on stage did not lessen the impact of his musical genius – dazzling emotive solos with sleazy rhythmic phrases, played on five different woodwinds. Eventually having recovered from my speechlessness, I found myself in conversation with the people in the club – some musicians, some simply enthusiasts. The stories of their journeys were filled with a nostalgic passion. Somewhere they understood that playing an instrument wasn't simply a pleasurable pass-time but a perilous journey. More than watching grand concerts from the last row, it was this Czech atmosphere of musical regard that was soothing; something that I missed back home.
The unpredictability of being in foreign lands is much like the unpredictability of great music – one is made to expect a certain resolution or motif, and is suavely presented with another. Have you ever stumbled upon a Wynton Marsalis concert, and received a ticket even though its been sold out for months? Walking by the languid Vltava, towards the Rudolfinum (home of the Czech Philharmonic) expecting to catch a usual performance of classical music, an old lady handed me an extra ticket for an exclusive 'Jazz at Lincoln Center Orchestra' (one of the leading big bands in the world) concert that was to begin in thirty minutes. In Prague music was seeking me as actively as I sought it, be it classical or jazz, and I couldn't be happier.
Walking by St Nicholas Church, where Mozart was said to have 'tickled the ivories' and then up to Prague castle, I was overcome by a feeling of rare satisfaction. Days had whizzed by, and it was time to leave, but hopefully to a place full of more pleasant surprises – the city where Mozart had written my childhood Fantasia.

There are just over ten million children under the age of 18 living in Italy. many of those children have been effected by the earth quakes damaging various areas throughout Italy. Those specific areas have Italian children suffering from a greater level of inequality in terms of health, education and material well-being. The Italian government has introduced a number of targeted policies to help those children. However, it is difficult for families to easily access the benefit of those polices. The Terrigno Foundation expands on governmental policies and directly targets specific families and children to ensure the maximum direct contribution. The Terrigno Foundation has responded to the needs of children and families in Italy for many years, adapting its work in order to support children at risk.

Q: scss create array 1 to 100 without writing it litteraly So I have this mixin:
@mixin generateSpacings($prefix, $property) {
    $sizes: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32];
...

and obviously writing this array like that is ugly and not really maintainable, how could I write it programatically ?

A: Codepen
I'd go for a solution where I'd generate the array via a @for loop and then append it to a list.
$start: 1;
$end: 100;

$array: "";

// array[1] = "", so $start + 1 to later set `""` to $start
@for $i from $start + 1 through $end {
  $array: append($array, $i, comma);

  //set `""` to $start
  $array: set-nth($array, 1, $start);
}


San Francisco State University's "Retention, Tenure, and Promotion Policy," as found in the Revised Academic Senate Policy #F06-241, states, "It is the responsibility of the department to establish clearly the department's expectations for retention, tenure, and promotion consistent with the University criteria." This document reflects the department's effort to conform to this mandate, and should be considered a supplement to and not a replacement for Revised Academic Senate Policy #F06-241.
Materials. Candidates will prepare a curriculum vitae and submit select supplementary information for the use of the Department Peer Review Committee each probationary year and for subsequent promotion reviews.
The supplementary information should include evidence of the candidate's professional education, teaching effectiveness, professional achievement and growth, and campus and community service, as listed in Sections II to V. The emphasis should be on significant achievement in each category and clearly documented support.
Curriculum Vitae. Following Revised Academic Senate Policy #F06-241, candidates are encouraged to use the curriculum vitae format located on the Faculty Affairs and Professional Development website.
Size Limit. Following Revised Academic Senate Policy #F06-241, it is recommended that supplementary materials representing the candidate's accomplishments in teaching effectiveness, professional achievement and growth, and contributions to campus and community consist of no more than three 3-inch binders.
Self Statements. Following Revised Academic Senate Policy #F06-241, "Candidates are encouraged to provide a self-statement of teaching effectiveness, professional achievement and growth, contributions to campus and community that provides an introduction to the candidate's accomplishments. The goal of the self-statement is to provide an introduction of the candidate's materials within each area for subsequent levels of review. It should provide a context for understanding the candidate's accomplishments within each area. It is recommended that the statement for each area (effectiveness in teaching or area of primary assignment, professional achievement and growth, and contributions to campus and community) not exceed 750 words."
Compilation Advisement. The Department Peer Review Committee and the Department Chair will be available to provide assistance as needed.
Range and breadth of courses. Faculty in the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures are expected to teach a variety of courses, from lower-division undergraduate language courses, to upper-division language and subject matter courses, to graduate courses.
Course materials. Syllabi and selected relevant documents (bibliographies, reading lists, class projects/assignments, and examinations) are used by the Department Peer Review Committee as evidence of course organization, course level, and the expectations the faculty member sets for student learning. Course materials in the target language do not need to be translated, but documents submitted in a language other than English should be briefly described in the self-statement on teaching effectiveness.
Peer class visitations. Class visitations by fellow faculty members are vital for assessing the level of the professor's presentation, expectations, and style of engagement with students. These visits serve as a check on student evaluations, which can be affected by class demands and grades. All faculty members are encouraged to obtain such peer evaluations from a variety of peer colleagues. A written report will be submitted to the faculty member and to the Department Chair for placement in the WPAF.
Student Evaluations. Probationary faculty members are required to submit evaluation questionnaires to the students in all courses each semester; tenured faculty are required to submit evaluation questionnaires to the students in two courses each semester. The Department Peer Review Committee regards these surveys as important because they provide a large representative sample of student reactions. The student evaluation form used in the department utilizes a scale of 1 to 5, with 1 as the best score. A score numerically above 2.0 in any course suggests a need for improvement. The Peer Review Committee will also calculate averages of the scores for individual courses, in two ways. First, an overall average for all courses will be calculated, which should fall between 1.0 and 2.0. Second, it will calculate separate averages for the three levels of courses: lower-division language courses, upper-division language and subject matter courses, and graduate courses. The average for each of the three levels should fall between 1.0 and 2.0. In interpreting averages, the Committee may consider the size and nature of the courses involved, as well as course assignments.
Student Letters. Signed written comments from students are taken seriously, but because they usually represent a small sample of student opinion, they are not regarded as highly as classroom surveys. In this category the Department Peer Review Committee accepts only signed and dated letters addressed to the Peer Review Committee or Department Chair, and will not review end-of-semester "Thank You" cards, emails, and other such ephemera from students.
Curriculum Development. Creation and development of new courses or curricula can be considered in this category, but candidates should note that a certain level of course preparation and development is expected of all faculty members. Establishment of a new concentration, or creation of a new academic program requiring effort above the usual expectation may be presented, along with relevant documentation showing the nature and scope of the effort. In addition, unusual or exceptionally innovative course materials may be submitted for consideration if they are judged to be beyond the usual expected effort of faculty.
Participation/attendance in Teaching-Oriented Professional Conferences and Workshops. Staying up to date in one's field, revising course content, and continuous improvement of the teaching and learning process is expected of all faculty in the Department. However, consideration may be given to attendance and/or participation at conferences or workshops which are specifically oriented to improving the teaching and learning process.
Advising. Whether officially designated "advisor" or not, all faculty must be effective in advising and willing to confer with students.
Supervision of Master's Theses and/or Culminating Experiences. Supervision of M.A. theses as a first, second or third reader; or supervision of Culminating Experience projects or exams.
At least basic technology skills (email, word-processing, file-sharing, web-posting, etc.) are strongly encouraged, as effective teaching in the 21st century is difficult without them.
Candidates for tenure or promotion must meet the minimum evaluative standards for Professional Achievement and Growth as stated in current Academic Senate Policies.
Books, including scholarly works, works for popular audiences derived from one's specialization, and textbooks.
Articles (single-authored or collaborative) in refereed journals.
Book reviews or encyclopedia entries.
Articles for popular audiences derived from one's specialization.
Creative work (e.g., fiction, poetry, or essays) published in book form, in journals and magazines, or in peer-edited websites.
An e-book, a "print-on-demand" book in an edited series, hypertext projects, or electronic archives.
NOTE: All such endeavors however must be accompanied by evidence of peer evaluation or recognition.
Unpublished manuscripts that have been reviewed and commented on by appropriate objective experts.
Oral and written presentations of research at professional meetings, to professional audiences, or to the general public.
Editing (or co-editing) an anthology or a collection of essays or research papers.
Editing a special issue of a journal.
Grant proposals for professional or scholarly development.
Recognition of professional achievement in other forms, including (but not limited to) honors, awards, fellowships, and appointments.
Research in progress, including linguistic field work, data gathering, travel to library collections, and other time and labor-intensive preparatory work for scholarly activities.
Because opportunities for publication and presentation of research vary widely within fields encompassed by Foreign Languages and Literatures, and because the Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures wishes to emphasize quality rather than quantity of work, the Department will not set a numerical quota of publications and presentations necessary for tenure or promotion. As a general guide, the Department Peer Review Committee would expect a candidate for tenure or promotion to have made multiple presentations on scholarly topics to professional and/or general audiences and to have significant work either published or accepted for publication.
The Department of Foreign Languages and Literatures expects all candidates for retention, tenure and promotion to offer service to the campus and community. Such service may involve some crossover from the Teaching Effectiveness category (in program advising, for example) or the Professional Achievement and Growth category (in giving public talks, for example), if the service activity relies on the faculty member's pedagogical or scholarly expertise.
Although not a separate review category itself, when assessing all types of service to campus and community, the Department Peer Review Committee will take "collegiality" into account. In the RTP review context, "collegiality" is defined as the candidate's record of building cooperative working relationships with other members of the faculty, with university staff, and/or with personnel in community/professional organizations. The candidate must demonstrate professional ethics and principles and accept responsibility for working effectively with colleagues to achieve department, college, university, and community goals.
At least basic technology skills (email, word-processing, file-sharing, web-posting, etc.) are strongly encouraged, as effective communication with departmental colleagues, college and university committees and administrators, and the public at large is difficult without them.
Organizing conferences, workshops, and conference sessions.
Serving on editorial, organizational, or executive boards.
Reading and reviewing manuscripts for professional journals, academic presses, and/or textbooks.
Chairing or moderating conference sessions or giving a formal response to one or more papers on a conference panel.
Consulting with and serving community colleges, high schools, community organizations, and/or other education-related organizations.
Consulting with and serving community organizations on subjects related to the faculty member's field or to the university.
Creating or helping to moderate a listserv in one's field.
Contributing to media (newspapers, radio, television).
Other outreach activities, including: workshops, cultural events and talks geared towards community groups or educational institutions.


Motor Yacht LIBERTY is a 50m (164 ft) long vessel launched by ISA (International Shipyards Ancona) in March 2011. Liberty yacht (hull 500.01) is the first in their custom made series of 50 m ISA superyachts.
Superyacht Liberty features design by ISA's in-houses design studio and technical team, as well as Andrea Vallicelli. She is a displacement yacht with a steel hull and an aluminium superstructure, composed of a sun-deck, main-deck, and lower deck.
Elegant exterior lines, offering smooth outline strengthened by the forward sloping windows grant a sense of movement even when Liberty is at rest. She features a dramatic dark grey metallic hull, contrasting with a brilliant white superstructure. She conveys a sense of power and sophistication that is echoed in every aspect of her design. Inspired by the ocean, her unique décor is striking yet comfortable and immediately welcoming, while her well-appointed, spacious deck areas are designed for maximum flexibility, adaptable to every situation from private sunbathing to elegant cocktail parties.
Inspired by the ocean, the luxurious staterooms each reflect a different theme, based on a variety of sea creatures: tortoise, seahorse, shark, nautilus, shrimp, starfish and coral.
The main deck of motor yacht LIBERTY has large corridors with the main saloon encircled by a continuous panoramic window that opens through the wide sliding doors to the main deck aft.
Liberty's vast sundeck has a sunbathing area and bar plus a comfortable sitting area aft with a number of chais-longues. The central dining table is located under the mast with structural sunshade.
The upper deck forward of the wheelhouse is linked to the main deck and by a small stairway and is furnished with two sofas, a great area for guests to enjoy the view while underway. Her upper deck aft, as well as her main deck aft, provides al fresco dining opportunities.
SuperYacht LIBERTY's transom has no staircase, however, the wide aft door opens, giving access to the "beach room" and creating a multi purpose area to enjoy using the water sport toys, swimming from the platform or sunbathing with a cocktail in hand. A large guest tender is stored in a garage adjoining "the beach area" and is launched through a door in the side of the hull.
LIBERTY yacht constructed by ISA is propelled by twin MTU 12V4000 M17 engines enabling her to reach a maximum speed of approximately 16.8 knots with a cruising speed of 12 knots. Liberty has a range of 2,200 NM and a fuel capacity of 69,000 litres.
The yacht also features Quantum Zero Speed stabilisers. The ISA 500.01 Liberty yacht is both Lloyd's and MCA classified.
Equipped with the latest in entertainment and communications technology as well as full range of "toys", she is an exciting addition to the Mediterranean charter fleet.
