"After I graduate I would like to be a police inspector for the Met. I chose this course because it is specifically related to crime and criminal investigation. I have found it really interesting so far it is giving us a wide perspective on criminology and a good understanding of what I can expect from a career in this field. The lecturers have been friendly, helpful and approachable. In the first year, we visited Marylebone Road Magistrates Court to observe how hearings are presented and what goes on that was a really interesting assignment. I also did some mentoring at HM Prison Holloway (the women's prison), where I was finding ways to help women integrate back into society."
Mafalda Guerra.
Successful completion of this degree offers improved career opportunities within the Criminal Justice System, in particular, the police service, probation service and areas of victim support. Our graduates have become police officers, criminal lawyers and teachers.
The programme is also excellent preparation for further research or study.

Constructed by Wizards of the Coast, preconstructed theme decks are a type of Magic product composed of specific non-random sets of cards that are sold in their own packaging along with each core set and expansion. The very first preconstructed theme decks were released in the Rivals Quick Start Set.
Theme decks from expansion sets may contain any card printed in that specific block as of that expansion set.
Preconstructed theme decks were first introduced for the Tempest expansion set and contained 60 cards (including 3 rares and 9 uncommons). The amount of lands and common cards could differ. For most expansions there were four of these decks, which were simply advertised as theme decks. They could be monocolored and bicolored.
From Urza's Saga onwards, the theme decks contained 2 rares and 13 uncommons. Urza's Saga was also the first expansion set to have a three-color theme deck. Radiant's Revenge is the only theme deck with both rares being artifacts.
Invasion was the first expansion set to have a five-color theme deck.
Onslaught theme decks introduced a new design on their cardboard box that quickly showed the colors used to build the deck.
From the Shards of Alara set onwards, theme decks connected to expansions are referred to as intro packs, to better reflect the nature of these products, as they introduce newer players to Magic: The Gathering and older ones to new expansions, with their novel mechanics. The decks were now made from a card pool composed of the most recent core set and the cards from the current block. Intro decks follow a number of design rules. Intro packs initially consisted of 41 cards featuring a foil rare, a booster pack, a strategy insert for the deck, and a Magic "learn to play" guide.
Following the example of Magic 2011, with Scars of Mirrodin the size of 41 cards in the intro packs changed to 60 cards, like the old theme decks, but still included the booster pack. The card pool was still restricted to the current block.
With Return to Ravnica, the intro packs increased to contain two booster packs.
As of Khans of Tarkir, the face cards in intro packs are not just premium rare cards, but alternate art premium rare cards that won't be found in booster packs.
As announced in 2014, intro packs, fat packs, and Deck Builder's Toolkits would be refigured to accommodate starter level players after the introduction of the Two-Block Paradigm. It turned out that, starting with Kaladesh, intro packs were replaced by Planeswalker Decks which contain four cards which are not available in the associated set.
Portal did not contain theme decks, but Portal Second Age and Portal Three Kingdoms contained five and three decks respectively. Each of these decks contained three rares. Starter 1999 contained five theme decks, each with two rares. All of them were monocolored.
Theme decks from core sets are only made with cards from that core set, while theme decks from expansion sets have cards from that set's block.
Theme decks for core sets were introduced with 7th Edition, after the discontinuation of the Starter-level sets. They contained two rares and seven uncommons with a total of 40 cards. Early core sets contained only monocolored theme decks.
From the Magic 2010 onwards, theme decks connected to core sets were referred to as intro packs, as well. Magic 2010 also contained the first dual-colored core set theme decks. The core set intro packs now had the same content as expansion intro packs (a ready-to-play 41-card deck featuring a foil rare, a sealed 15-card booster pack, a strategy insert, and "learn to play" guide).
With the Magic 2011 core set, the size of 41 cards in the intro packs changed to 60 cards, but still included the booster pack.
With the Magic 2013 core set, the intro packs increased to contain two booster packs.
This product was discontinued after the core sets were retired.
Early box sets like Anthologies, Beatdown and Battle Royale experimented with different numbers and sizes of theme decks.
The Duel Decks contain two theme decks and a total of eight rares.
Other preconstructed decks appeared, among others, in the Premium Deck Series, the Commander series, the Planechase series, and in Archenemy.
As of 2019, Wizards of the Coast is looking to increase the number of boxed preconstructed decks, and is willing to experiment in the packages.
Starting with Mirrodin Besieged Wizards of the Coast also designed competitive Standard-legal decks, called event decks, for expansions and core sets. Although released simultaneous with new sets, they could contain cards outside of the current block or core set, as long as they were legal. Initially each set had two event decks.
From Dragon's Maze onwards each set only featured one event deck.
This product was officially discontinued after Battle for Zendikar.
In 2018, Wizards of the Coast took another try at competetive preconstructed decks. These are called "Challenger Decks". These are intended to be very strong and feature many rares, as well as at least two mythic rares. For Challenger Decks, Magic R&D changed its design process so that they could build them closer to release.
The Mirage block theme decks were designed for MTGO, as these expansion sets were printed before theme decks were first printed in the Tempest block.

MPs struggling to use 'Chinese' tablet computers in the Chamber
Parliament's quest to make the House paperless is set to suffer a setback as Members are struggling to use the 'Chinese' tablet computers installed on their desks in the Chamber.
The MPs reconvened Tuesday after the Christmas break to a fully functional digitised system where all copies of documents required for the day's proceedings were in soft copies on the tablet.
But when proceedings started, most MPs exhibited their lack of knowledge in the use of the device. They struggled to follow through the proceedings, which were conducted by the Speaker, Edward Doe Adjaho, with the use of the device.
The digitised system was not fully completed at the time the MPs moved into the renovated Chamber on November 4, 2014. Although the tablet computers were fixed, they were not operational until Tuesday.
"But as the speaker was correcting the votes and proceedings, members complained of difficulties following him [the Speaker]," TV3's Parliamentary correspondent Evelyn Tengmaa reported Tuesday.
She said some of the MPs suggested that Dr Akoto Osei and other leaders in the Chamber who had hard copies make them available to the MPs who were having difficulties in the use of the device.
MP for Ablekuma West, Ursula Owusu, expressed happiness about the new regime where everything is digitised.
She noted that change does not come easy and believe members will get used to the device with time.
Meanwhile, the Speaker Doe Adjaho in his welcome address said a computer course should be organized for the MPs to help them use the tablet computers.
He said the Italian prime minister is also expected to address the Parliament next week.
The House is expected to sit for nine weeks during which 26 bills are expected to be tabled for presentation and consideration.
President John Dramani Mahama is also expected to give his State of the Nation Address in this current session
The Business Committee will meet and schedule dates for various presentations.

Dryunya wrote: Again, we are coming back to my model. Mine has a completely opposite problem: its universes do not intersect. I made each layer of the fictional world divided by franchises (that's probably not the correct word to use here, but whatever). I think that bit needs to be changed, but I have no idea how.
okay so people create the fictional worlds by making the stories right? So imagine our level of reality has tiny strings that attach them to our world. Those strings go through a wall so that that opens one way, allowing us to change fiction but not vice versa. Now if there are cracks in said wall the characters can ride the connection back into our world through said cracks.
Actually, Dryu, your model isn't complex enough. I know someone said to try and get this into the range that human minds can comprehend, but I'm probably about to do the opposite, so sorry mate. The issue is my mind works in weird ways normally and right now I'm hyped up on caffeine.
Basically, Dryu's franchise separation scheme is more or less correct. Every story in our world that isn't connected to another one has it's own 'universe' (and sometimes multiverse. I'm looking at you, Nasuverse.) All of these 'verses are on the other side of the fourth wall in a kind of superverse. However, each time one of the sub universes includes other universes as fiction, you have a fourth wall that travels horizontally across the layer, as opposed to the walls that go down to a deeper layer. All shows within shows create yet another layer, subdivided and interconnected just like the first, ad infinitum.
Also, on the topic of whether or not we are the highest level, I suggest working with the assumption that we are. If we aren't there is nothing we can do about it right now, and if Mr. A is manipulating this world as well from somewhere higher up, again, nothing we can do. Basically, worrying at this stage is pointless, since we have better stuff to do. Now I'm going to work on that semaphore puzzle if you haven't already finished.

Agreed, at this point I hardly think it matters whether we are or not anyway. We need to operate on the assumption that everything begins on our level, and the void. I mean, if there's anything happening on a hypothetical layer ABOVE us then that would kind of render all our efforts null and void, wouldn't it? Because we'd be at the mercy of that above layer.

What would it matter to us if there was a level above us? How would it destroy our efforts? If there is, then we are being controlled to make said efforts, true, but I have made all of my decisions thus far based on my own logic and whims. I can trace that logic back through cause and effect (theoretically) through all of time, so it makes no difference to me whether there is a layer above us because it will change absolutely nothing. Cause and effect will move onwards, I will make the decisions that I will make regardless, and the same can be said of all of you as well.
If another layer doesn't matter then the same can be said for fictional characters.

Normally you would be right. Normally. But normally Poirot and the Cat wouldn't be mucking about on the internet. Basically, the fact that your statement isn't right is the whole issue at stake here.

Mm, I thought it was the very nature of the problem - that they're entering Our Layer/Reality, a layer they were never supposed to be and ergo, stepping outside of the control of their creators?
Maybe something DIRECTED them to escape in the first place: be it a threat on their side of the wall, or maybe even an instruction placeds by a Reality-based writer.
Sorry, am I just making silly assumptions based on a lack of caffiene? I really need to go get more caffiene.

Also, this thread is, for the most part, to construct the model itself. We are not going to go into the why as of yet. (For reasons, see last few posts in the "Monster on the other side" thread.
I don't think you understand what I mean. I meant that if there was another layer for us but we can trace our actions through logic, cause and effect, so could fictional characters. They think they make their own decisions.
You're right I didn't understand what you meant. Sorry about that, I think I get it now.
Edit: because you were talking to the person above me, not me (again, sorry!) but I apparantly didn't understand anyway, so the apology still counts.
NeverSlender wrote: I don't think you understand what I mean. I meant that if there was another layer for us but we can trace our actions through logic, cause and effect, so could fictional characters. They think they make their own decisions.
I am aware of that. And, according to this model, as far as their layer is concerned, they do. And From a Certain Point of View, that is actually correct. When they are created, their very universe and all it's history is created at the same time. As far as their layer is concerned, all of that actually happens, though we do not see it, and when they are created, they have 'character'. When people are written by a different author (With the exception of fanfiction, which I'm not sure actually directly manifests itself under this model. At least in most cases) they create a parallel version of themselves most times because their characters are slightly different. Therefore, each permutation always acts in character, and by acting in character, takes the choices in their story that they would take as a person regardless.
I admire both your caffiene tolerance, because I can imagine an awful lot of it was consumed, and your thought processes.

To me, it makes perfect sense, which may very well be exactly what you were afraid of, but whatever. Basically, the metaverse model has long ago outgrown, detail wise, what it really needs to be and entered the realm of just for fun. I sort of keep it growing in complexity every time I get a new thought about it like some sort of evil weed. Sorry. Even though you are more or less correct, all we need to know (I hope) to apply the metaverse model is that fiction and our reality are separated by the fourth wall, inside/above/to-the-left-of/all-of-the-previous-at-once-which-I-assure-you-makes-sense-in-some-dimension-incomprehsible-to-the-human-mind of which is the void, where Mr. A is, and this pattern branches out downwards ostensibly for eternity. Fiction should be unaware of the reality/ies above it, but somehow the fourth wall has been cracked and the fictional characters from below are jumping into our world.
... in fact, now that I consider it, this metaverse model has all been just for fun in the first place. You know what would be hilarious though? If I had actually (somehow) been right about how the Echo Chamber/Wall verse worked and those in the know freaked out.

Maybe it's not a stack model, as Dryuna suggested, but a circle model, where everything is at the same distance (not being more or less) from the center, that is, the void. But, that assuming reality=fiction. Maybe Reality is the center of everything, with a wall of void and a sphere of fiction around.
An infinte number of tangents can be drawn from a circle. Infinite layers?
it's more like reality is the TOP of everything. making it a circle doesn't make all that much sense. It kinda loses the idea of the Show Within A Show concept displayed by Echo Chamber.
Hey, that works for me, my brain was kind of about to explode anyway. It's like kudzu, the way things just keep growing.I think we probably understand as much as we really need to.
Hilarious, with a side order of awesome.
1. The relations between franchises are not really important, as they distract us from the problem at hand, just like the Void's fiction.
2. We need to incorporate Zack into the model.
3. Just a thought. The Void's existence may begin later that the Wall's. What I'm hinting at is, you know, TV Tropes. What we know about Mr. A is that he is dedicated to studying relations between fiction and reality, and that somewhat resembles what TV Tropes do. Also, TV Tropes are at the root of this ARG, after all.
3.5: The Void may be a place where the metastuff happens. Needless to say, metafiction appeared later than fiction per se.
4. I am obsessed with numbered lists.
UPD: Here is version 2. It includes crossovers between universes, as well as the interactions between entities.
1. Where exactly is the 4th wall in this model?
3. How do the real people actually interact with Mr. A? Tom seemed to talk to him through an actual screen, but Mr. A can summon those between-the-fingers screens. It may be a portal, or something. UPD: I've rewatched the penultimate episode - Mark speaks to Mr. A through a picture, but it may just be a fancy LCD frame.

I have thought for a while that Mr. Administrator might be the incarnation of TVTropes itself.
I believe that was mentioned on the WMG page. I'll say it again - I read some Word Of God (sorry, don't remember the source) somewhere around the end of season 1 that said some of the WMGs were frighteningly close. Of course, it didn't say which ones.

You know what... What the hell. I'll just rule out all clearly impossible and joking, and see what remains.
I invite you to the "unnamed man" thread for that.
I'm sorry that this completely destroys everything you've mentioned, but I felt the need to put my thoughts forward.
I've always imagined the multiverse as a ridiculously huge section of space, with each fandom/franchise/fictite world being a "galaxy" in the section.
Flames of Chaos, Flames of Order. Doesn't matter, I have to run from Slendy.


THE WAY OF THE CROW. Second day, Bleasdale to Arbour, Calder Valley.
JD seemed worried when I described the next leg of our straight line way – "it is extremely rough going, the game keepers are unfriendly and there are rumours of a wild rhinoceros". Despite all that he agreed to join us on his recommended shortened version. The picture above was taken from his house when I picked him up in the morning, The Bleasdale Fells which we had to cross are to the left of the higher Fairsnape group. Beacon Fell is far left.
The car park at Bleasdale Church was busy with Sunday worshippers.
It was a glorious sunny morning as we used field paths into the heart of Bleasdale discussing our individual Saturday night's exploits, I probably had the largest hangover, Sir Hugh had been consructing a cat flap and JD entertaing his family.
Donning extra layers when we realised how cold it was.
No that's not the rhino but pretty scary anyhow.
After the isolated Hazelhurst Farm we found the beginnings of a land rover track that would, via a series of zigzags, take us steeply into the open access area and onto the fell top. We puffed our way up with frequent stops to admire the views over the nearby Fairsnape/Parlick fells with Bleasdale and the Fylde below. Surprisingly and fortunately another quad track led to the remote trig point, 429m, of Hazelhutst Fell. We are on grouse shooting moors up here and much has been written about the persecution of other wildlife in this vicinity to try to promote the shooting fraternity. Whatever one's opinions about grouse shooting I am strongly against the wilful and unlawful killing of our protected species. On this stretch of the walk we came across several loaded Fenn Traps which are legally only allowed for stoat trapping [killing] but are known to trap other species. These are lethal looking spring-loaded traps which could almost take the tip off your walking pole.
From the trig point there were hazy views across Morecambe Bay to Black Combe and Barrow. Taking a compass bearing we set off across the heather in a NNW direction and fortunately found another quad bike track taking us down past shooting butts so avoiding all the heavy going. After what I've said about the grouse shooting land owners we were thankful for their tracks. The final descent was vertiginous. The surroundings were reminiscent of a Scottish Glen and we found the bridge over the Calder to the Victorian shooting cabin of Arbour. This must be one of the best kept secrets of Lancashire.
We found a sheltered spot out of the cold east wind for lunch. There were no windows into the shooting lodge to see the rhinoceros head. The story goes that a rhino escaped from a train near Garstang and had to be shot, it's trophy head being mounted in the lodge.
By now all the excitement was over and we had an easy walk out on the track alongside the River Calder. We were back at Sir Hugh's car much sooner than we'd planned because of those good moorland tracks. We will have to walk back in next time to rejoin our line.

THE WAY OF THE CROW. First day, Longridge to Bleasdale.
I was apprehensive, walking in a straight line as possible would take us on unfrequented paths, would the way be feasible. We left the village down overgrown Gypsy Lane and shortly after found a gate secured by a cord, a veritable Gordian Knot. Out came Sir Hugh's, I'll blame him, Swiss Army Knife and we were through.
We passed the ponds, 'figure of eight' where my children used to go fishing without much success but I'm sure they had an adventure away from parental supervision – they never drowned so I must have been doing something right.
The next farm-yard, where I'd previously climbed walls to escape, was now well signed and we even had a resident directing us to the hidden stile ahead though the accompanying foot plank, couldn't call it a bridge, didn't inspire confidence.
We reached a farm gate on a public footpath which was securely padlocked, no Swiss Army knife could cope, but as if on cue a lady drove up in her battered pick-up and opened up for us. Remonstrating about obstructed footpaths didn't seem to be appropriate. All was pleasant rural scenery with scattered farms, some in better condition than others.
The next problem was of our creation, contentedly walking along the tiny River Loud we were almost in someone's back garden when we realised we'd missed our path but fortunately a gate allowed our escape onto the road.
Things improved as we headed closer towards the Bowland Hills and Bleasdale. We passed the small rural Bleasdale School and headed for the church where our car was parked. We were last here in gale force Ali. A group of fell runners were just setting off for a quick few miles and we exchanged pleasantries. Walkers, climbers , cyclists, runners tend to have a common background.
Is that an Ofsted verdict?
We had completed the first leg of our project with very little deviation from the straight and narrow and to be honest no serious obstacles except a lot of slippery stiles. Our way ahead over Hazelhurst Fell could be seen, the fell runner is pointing the way, but will there be any paths?

THE WAY OF THE CROW. LONGRIDGE TO ARNSIDE.
My good friend Sir Hugh [http://conradwalks.blogspot.com/ ] inhabits that lovely village Arnside whereas I have to put up with the gross overdevelopment of Longridge. For the last few winters we have had projects to keep us active in the shorter days. He has emailed once or twice with suggestions for this year but nothing has struck me as original, boringly I seem to have walked most of the Long Distance Paths in the NW. I came up with a counter suggestion – why don't we draw a straight line between our houses and follow it as closely as possible. I know this idea has been used before, particularly successfully by Nic Crane on his straight line Two Degrees West journey from Berwick-on-Tweed to The Isle of Purbeck. I seem to remember he gave himself a kilometre leeway either side but had a lot of media support, I wonder if we could be even stricter. True to form Sir High has taken the bait and the line has been drawn.
It is the wrong time of year for backpacking so we will split the route into day walks. The distance as the crow flies is 26.5 miles but we will be lucky to keep it under 35 miles. No rules except keeping as close to the line as possible preferably on footpaths or quiet lanes, legal ground or not. There are some obvious obstacles in the way – the fells of Bleasdale, the Rivers Wyre and Lune, Quernmore Hall Estate and the M6. It will be a challenge overcoming them, lets get started.

MY DAILY WALK, [well almost daily].
The weather has not been good since my return from France, I feel Autumn is upon us.
It's noticeable how often I comment on the state of the weather at the start of a post. Is that a British trait, am I obsessed with the climate or does it just reflect the close connection of conditions with my pastimes? I remember when I was younger and outdoor time at a weekend was precious we would sally forth on walks or climbs whatever the weather. That would result in a fair share of days with no views and a good soaking on the hill or gripping climbs on cold slippery wet rock. Many of those occasions are vivid in my memory, proof of the importance to me of outdoor adventures and the companionships they bring. Character building was a phrase used. Now I take more heed of the forecast and try to choose the better days for my enjoyment or more likely head abroad to avoid the worst of our winter weather.
I've rambled off the subject. I intend, now I'm free of the PMR stiffness, to do a regular local walk most days to build up my fitness once again. How often have I said that? I have a 4mile circuit on my doorstep that suffices. Not only does one get some healthy exercise but also some physic benefits thrown in. There are countless literary quotations extolling the virtues of walking, one of the simplest – "I have two doctors: my left leg and my right leg." G M Trevelyan.
I complain a lot, and will continue to do so, about the housing developments in Longridge destroying the character of the town but I'm still able to do this walk from my house into the country. Why drive anywhere in mixed weather when a walk can be accomplished from home. A stroll down the road takes me past the cricket ground where today there was a match which I can stand and watch for a few overs. There's something special about village cricket which makes it almost hypnotic to engage in, I think it is something to do with the enthusiasm of the players and the gentle clapping of the handful of spectators. Long may it be so. The lane I usually take up onto the fell gives a lovely view back across Chipping Vale to the Bowland Hills. The view is different with the seasons but gives a sense of space and nature within half a mile of leaving home. Today this was heightened by a pair of Buzzards wheeling and mewing above me. Time just goes by whilst you stand and watch. A glance over the reservoir at any other bird life – usually ducks and grebe. And a glance into Craig Y Longridge to see if anyone I know is climbing, not today with the damp conditions. My return down the town's main street is more mundane but gives the opportunity for social engagement and grocery shopping.
A perfect little circuit, I'm off to do it again today when things will be different.

BRAMPTON, Ont. - Although they were slow out of the gates, eventually the Sheridan Bruins men's basketball team (24-7, 13-3 OCAA) found their legs and scored 86 points over the 30 minutes to pick up a 104-78 victory over UTM.
The win featured a third-quarter performance that is likely to be among their best single periods all season, as the Double Blue scored 36 points on 12-of-17 shooting (70.6 per cent). They shared the ball with 10 assists, connected on 4-of-9 3-point attempts, and attacked the rim to produce 10 free throw attempts, eight of which they converted eight.
Nick Campbell factored into more than 60 per cent of the offence in the frame, scoring 17 while dishing out a pair of assists. He finished with a team-high 28 points, and has scored 20-plus in three straight, and in four of the Bruins' five second half contests. Romar Subban (16), Khaleek Bakari-Whyte (15), and Stefan Simpson (10) were also in double figures for Sheridan.
The Bruins will play the final of a four-game home stand on Feb. 5 when they host Redeemer.

This month's conversation about "healthy" will continue, but we wanted to look back over some of the perspectives and comments so far, to try and get a better sense of the different things this word can mean to each of us, as well as… the similarities between all of our points of view.
Our last contributor thus far, patient Chloe, left us with a very important comment, which sometimes we may not really take as seriously as we could. Whether we mean physical, emotional, or any other kind of "healthy," and whether we are a patient, family member of clinician, "Too many people take being healthy for granted".

IRS Sends Nearly $15 Billion of Advance Child Tax Credit Payments
Kevin Kaufman July 19, 2021 COVID-19 (coronavirus), Federal Tax Updates, IRS, IRS No Comments
Last week the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) sent nearly $15 billion of advance Child Tax Credit (CTC) payments to families of nearly 60 million children, acting on the CTC expansion from the American Rescue Plan (ARP). New Treasury Department data released on the payments shows the distribution of the expanded CTC by state, including how much, on average, households in each state received. The expansion will only be in effect for the 2021 tax year—if policymakers wish to continue providing the increased benefits, they must address the administrative and revenue costs of the policy.
The ARP included a more than $100 billion expansion of the CTC, increasing it from a maximum of $2,000 to $3,600 for younger children and $3,000 for older children, making it fully available and refundable to households with no income, and instructing the IRS to pay half of the credit out in advance. The extra credit amount phases out by $50 for every $1,000 in income above $150,000 for joint filers and $112,500 for head of household filers.
Treasury data shows that eligible households received an average advance payment of $423 in the July disbursement. Residents of Utah received the highest average payment at $515, while residents of the District of Columbia got the lowest average payment at $376. California, Texas, Florida, New York, and Pennsylvania had the greatest number of qualifying children, and thus received the largest aggregate payment amounts.
Treasury estimated that more than 26 million children who would have either received a limited credit amount or no credit at all under previous law because their incomes were too low will now receive the full expanded credit.
One trade-off of making the credit fully refundable is that it increases marginal tax rates on labor on certain households as they no longer receive a tax incentive as their income increases. Higher marginal tax rates disincentivize work, though the magnitude of the labor supply effect is debated.
Making the CTC fully refundable means that more spending is taking place through the tax code as households receive more in benefits than they owe in tax liability.
Specifically, $84.2 billion of the $105 billion cost of the expansion is classified as increased outlays, indicating most of the expansion would be received as a refund above the amount of taxes owed. The expansion will increase the number of tax filers who have no federal income tax liability to 58.4 million, or about 39 percent of all filers, in 2021.
Another trade-off of the new CTC design is that a dollar of credit received in advance means a dollar less credit received at tax time. It will be important for families to understand and plan for how accepting part of the credit in advance may change their tax refund or balance due next spring to avoid unexpected cash flow problems. So far, only about 1 million people opted out of the first advance payment. The reconciliation process for advance payments could be a potential area rife for complications on next year's tax returns.
But perhaps the biggest outstanding question is whether the new CTC will be continued after 2021. While policymakers have proposed extensions, the expansion's cost remains a hurdle. We estimate that making the expanded CTC permanent would cost $1.6 trillion on a conventional basis over the 10-year budget window using a current law baseline.
Spending $1.6 trillion on an expanded CTC lifts the after-tax income of lower- and middle-income households, but it does not boost long-run economic output. Other tax changes aimed at improving marginal tax rates on work or investment can also lift after-tax incomes while boosting economic growth at a lower cost. Policymakers will have to balance the desire to use the tax system for social spending with the need to collect revenue and have a tax system that is transparent and easy to understand.

I feel your conflict. We have been considering a move for a few years. But where to? Someplace where it doesn't snow? Stay locally in a house without as much work? Then I look at my home and I don't want to leave. I've moved often but have been the longest at 13 years at this home. So many memories but they can be packed up and moved. Or can they? Will they be lost? Sold at a garage sale? Looks like you have made your decisions and now you have to make peace with it. The in-between stage is always the worst for me. Good luck.
Thanks Kate – I know on many levels we're so lucky to be able to stay near two of our boys and their families, but this is very, very hard..
This is so beautiful, honey, and such a quintessential expression of who you are–loving, giving, gaining, losing, grasping, releasing, HUMAN. This is no easy process you're going through–it's fraught with difficulties and emotional highs and lows, but you will prevail, and when you alight in your new place, you will make a home as warm and welcoming and loving as you are. In the meantime, there are many who love you and are more than happy to listen *anytime*.
Such a difficult process. The work is tiring, but the emotions are exhausting. While I don't feel what you feel, I understand. If I could, I'd hold an umbrella over your head to shield you from the storm, but emotions can't be blocked like raindrops. I love you sweetheart. I guess Simon is right, because wherever we are, as long as we are together, I am home.
Ah, I see we have shared a common experience with the professional stagers. I believe they are born of Lucifer and take pride in destroying memories under the guise of preparing your home for sale. Hang in there.
She really is a lovely person…it's just overwhelming..
Yes, home is where the heart is. Robert Frost, in his poem"Death of the Hired Man" says, "Home is where when you go, they have to let you in." You will make a wonderful, loving new home. It just takes time. After, many, many moves throughout my life, I finally settled down in my home for twenty years now, where I hope to end my days. I send you blessings and positive vibes.
I'm glad you have such friends and they are there for you, dear Mimi. May your heart feel ever-greater peace, love, and acceptance. My thoughts are with you, my friend.
Hi dear Russ…thank you. I just have to look forward – and sometimes it feels more surreal than others. I am blessed in a gazillion ways – that I do know.
Always, always, they're preparing us for the next bunch of surprises held in store for us by Life! Would it really surprise you to learn that thousands of us bless you for being amongst the blessed souls who help others ease their own transitions? And for being someone who "sat with me awhile"?
Some glad day, dear friend, a bunch of us are going to sit in swing-sets (yeah, Ann of Green Gables!), and the cicadas are gonna be drowned out by the sound of our laughter. We'll laugh about where we've come from, where we are, and where we're going. And maybe we'll sing. And certainly we'll be glad we all found each other. And one side of a great pond or another will seem like mere figments of our imagination.
Wherever you and Andy are in the world, let alone the United States of America, you'll be cheered on and loved by rank upon rank of people you remember, as well as people you've forgotten. All of us grateful for your eloquence and empathy, your humility and all-round humanity, your sneakers ready-to-run-like-the-wind in the garage, your strength and your weakness. Your memory. Your prayers. Your fiery love for a little schnauzer pup – and for your sister, husband, sons, grandchildren, friends … the whole wide world.
Ah my friend, there will be grilled cheese and fries, coffee, laughter – and most definitely song. But for now – there is such love being received from you as a cherished gift and being sent to you in return in equal measure. As for 'The Velveteen Rabbit' – yes, it still makes me cry – perhaps now with a different understanding than the one I had when it was first read to me. Thank you – with all my heart – thank you…and love – always.
Where to begin? First and foremost, I love this post, it's letter format and it's raw and real message. To move and uproot is heartache for sure (read Breaking Twig, I just made a new connection on this!). It's a whole different kind of grief and you are wise and strong to recognize and embrace the pain in this process. At least that is what I think. I also believe in your heart, ever full and so so expansive, and it's ability with you as it's partner, to create a new kind of home, wherever you are. With you, always! xoxo.
When I woke up this morning I thought about you and then I saw this post! I backtracked to catch up. Thinking of you Mimi and understanding the bittersweet of this transition.
It'll still be home in your heart and mind and soul, Mimi. Great to see you, my friend. Happy 2016.
Hey Mark…good to see you, as always…Happy New Year!
I'm feeling the weight you are carrying and am at a loss to offer a hand. Yet, love how use your words to carry me with you.
I went through a similar experience about two years ago. It was very difficult. But life goes on. Some things even change for the better, though there's pain and loss, and hard work in learning how to accept the new environment. I send you my best wishes.
It is a very hard transition and I think it is healthy to 'mourn' the anticipated losses as you go, as you are doing.

First Egyptian flight attendant with Down syndrome flies from Cairo to Khartoum
Mira Maged
Heba Atef became the first-ever Egyptian flight attendant with Down syndrome to embark on a special flight from Cairo to Khartoum entitled "The Journey of Humanity," starting on Saturday, November 30 and lasting until Thursday, December 5.
Atef, a student at the Arab Open University in Egypt (AOU), accompanied a group of passengers with special needs alongside their families during the journey.
In collaboration with the Badr Aviation Company and Smart Mind Training Center in Khartoum, the remarkable "Journey of Humanity" took place under the sponsorship of the UN International Committee and was specifically tailored for people with special needs.
The trip headed to Sudan to attend several workshops supporting participants with special needs.
A flight attendant's uniform was customized especially for Atef, according to her mother, with Atef asserting that the experience did not frighten her, Hon News outlet reported.
A previous interview with Atef on OnE Channel revealed that she has overcome a number of challenges, especially in 2011, when she was diagnosed with blood cancer. However, Atef fought the disease courageously, winning her battle with cancer after five grueling years.
Atef was also persistent in completing her education despite her illness, discovering after attending university that she was the only student with Down syndrome in her classes, according to the same interview.
No challenge is too big for Atef, however, who joined the department of Radio and Television at her university, launching her career as a TV presenter. She presented at the Bokra Ahla (Tomorrow is Better) Conference addressing people with special needs and has been honored by Rotary Port Said and 57357 Hospital as well.
Meanwhile, Atef's passions are diverse, citing an interest in music as well as drawing and painting. Remarkably, she was invited by the UN's cultural committee alongside the Belgium Embassy in Cairo to showcase her painting in a ceremony celebrating various art works by contemporary artists. Atef was honored at that event, with 17 people form countries around the world signing her painting.
Atef also met Egypt's President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi alongside Egyptian Minister of Culture Inas Abdel Dayem at the opening of the 2019 Cairo International Book Fair, where she participated in several activities focused on art.
Atef is known for motivational quote that reads: "We teach people love and a desire to be alive — we are here to put smiles on people's faces and give them hope."
Back in June, the "UN-ARTS" committee on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities in Egypt selected Egyptian swimmer Mohamed al-Husseini, who was born with down syndrome, as the committee's official spokesperson in Egypt as well as abroad.
In October 2018, Ibrahim al-Kholy, another Egyptian born with down syndrome, was appointed as a teaching assistant at the University of Canada in Egypt's Mass Communication, Radio and Television department.
Meanwhile, a significant joint collaboration project was launched this year between Orascom, the European Union and UNICEF.
The collaborative forum was entitled "Empowering inclusion of the differently-abled" and was attended by representatives from Egypt's private and governmental sectors. The forum discussed the importance of issuing legislation that secures the inclusion of people with disabilities across various vocational sectors.
A newly released report by UNDP indicates that there are nearly 12 million people with special needs in Egypt.

The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 is a new, shorter, but fatter version of Larry Dahlberg's soon-to-be-classic Whopper Plopper series of topwater lures. Measuring just under 3 inches and weighing just over a 1/2 ounce, the Whopper Plopper 75 brings all the irresistible surface commotion of the Whopper Plopper in a tinier package.
The River2Sea Whopper Plopper 75 is a new, shorter, but fatter version of Larry Dahlberg's soon-to-be-classic topwater lure.
WHOPPER PLOPPER 130 We were catching so many big bass, both largemouth and smallmouth on the musky sized whopper plopper, we just had to make one the right size for bass! It operates at speeds from crawl so super slow you can't hear the tail, only the tiny glass beads that sizzle inside as the head shakes back and forth with each rotation of the tail. Speed it up and it throws water like a swamp buggy and has the same deep, hollow, whopper-plopping-fish-catching sound of the original! Like the original, it casts a mile so it's great for combing large flats or expanses and obviously its ability to work at the widest possible range of speeds makes it a great tool for tuning in the most productive speeds and rhythm of the particular day, a particular fish that might be following or one that's just watching other top water lures go by. Also, like the original the tail is perfectly tuned out of the box, is flexible and stays perfectly tuned forever.


The Lemonheads' first record in 10 years! Covers album - Includes versions of Nick Cave, Yo La Tengo, The Bevis Frond, Eagles and more. Extensive world tour over the 12 months, including Europe, USA and Asia.
Banana scented scratch & sniff vinyl sleeve! "The Lemonheads are no strangers to a cover, the grunge-pop heroes perfect the art." NME The Lemonheads follow up the critically acclaimed 'Varshons' from nearly ten years ago with another eclectic collection of covers. Produced by director Matthew Cullen and mastered by Howie Weinberg (Beastie Boys, Nirvana, The Ramones), their tenth studio album brims with the slowly-matured vocal of Evan Dando as he lures a host of personal faves to his melodic lair. He really has become one of the great expressive singers of our time.
What they said about Varshons: "Gram Parsons, Wire, and GG Allin: You'd be hard pressed to find three more disparate rock acts, yet on 'Varshons' they all sound like the Lemonheads - boppy, overcast alt-rock delivered at a fast clip and sung in a whiskey tenor." Pitchfork. 'Varshons 2' is a hokey jukebox filled with unique versions of Yo La Tengo, Nick Cave, The Bevis Frond, NRBQ, The Eagles, Paul Westerberg, The Jayhawks, Lucinda Williams and John Prine. Like Hank Williams slumped in his car between gigs, strumming and hollering, reasoning and weeping, humming it on over, Evan and his Lemonheads make every tune their own.


VAN ALSTYNE, Tex. (KXII) - A man suffered serious injuries after Van Alstyne police say a driver clipped his motorcycle and sped off.
Police say the motorcyclist was heading north on U.S. Highway 75 around midnight and was about to exit onto FM 121.
They say a white car hit the front of his motorcycle, knocking him off the bike.
The motorcyclist suffered five broken ribs and several fractures above his eye, foot and shoulder blade.
He was wearing a helmet and is expected to survive.
"Just look for bikes, and if you hit one, don't drive away," said Ken Townsend, a friend of the victim. "I'm out looking for a white car with a black mark on the back bumper."
Anyone with information is asked to call the Van Alstyne Police Department.

South dominates North in Senior Bowl
By John ZenorThe Associated Press
Jan 25, 2014 at 10:07 PM Jan 25, 2014 at 10:07 PM
MOBILE, Ala. � Derek Carr and David Fales both threw touchdown passes and Auburn�s Dee Ford racked up two sacks in the South�s 20-10 victory over the North in the Senior Bowl on Saturday.
The showcase game for top senior NFL prospects was mostly dominated by the defenses, including big plays from two defenders from national runner-up Auburn. Ford polished off his week by twice sacking Virginia Tech�s Logan Thomas in the first half and Chris Davis had an interception.
Ford, who also had a pair of sacks in the national championship game, was named the game�s MVP. Alabama receiver Kevin Norwood caught a 24-yard touchdown pass from Fales of San Jose State and received the South�s Most Outstanding Player honors.
North struggles
Wisconsin�s James White scored on a 1-yard run with 6:04 left in the game for the North�s only touchdown. He was selected the North�s MOP after rushing for 62 yards on 11 carries.
Ford also batted down a pass in the backfield when the North was buried deep in its own territory that would have been a sure touchdown if he�d held onto it.
Offensively, it looked just like what it was: an all-star game with players trying to get in synch with a few days of practice.
The quarterbacks with the fewest mistakes won the day after the South built a 20-3 lead.
Fresno State�s Carr started fast with three straight completions on the South�s opening drive. He capped the march with a 17-yard touchdown pass to Colorado State tight end Crockett Gillmore and finished 7 of 12 for 45 yards.
Jimmy Garoppolo of Eastern Illinois�s first two drives ended with field goals of 50 and 39 yards by Auburn�s Cody Parkey. Garoppolo, MVP of the East-West Shrine Game out of Tony Romo�s alma mater, was a late addition to the roster after Alabama�s AJ McCarron declined an invitation.
He was 6-of-11 passing for 32 yards.
The collection of six quarterbacks combined to throw five interceptions.
Miami�s Stephen Morris was 10 of 18 for a game-high 89 yards but was also intercepted twice. Clemson�s Tajh Boyd was 7 of 16 for 31 yards with an interception. Thomas, a 6-foot-6, 250-pounder, was sacked five times.

Seriously speaking, I don't like self-praise or acclaim when I start this post with a quote of mine. But watching President-elect Barack Obama yesterday on CNN Pipeline, I was more than just flabbergasted. Man! he did pull it off…royally. The first colored president of the United States of America. Years after the civil rights movement spearheaded by Mrs Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, the resonating cries of oppressed slaves from times gone by, the belief of Abraham Lincoln who risked everything to fight slavery, it was a climax of biblical proportions. As the scripture says "…to hold on steadfastly without losing hope" after a prediction made a year and a half before, I just humbled myself in front of this amazing power, which has been bestowed on us: the power of belief.
Next morning, my friends all over the world, left me scraps, offline messages and even calls to congratulate me on a absolutely amazingly true prediction. Couple of them even made me delve into my wallet for their lunch. I was more than happy to accommodate that, for happiness whenever and wherever it happens, has to be shared nevertheless. Here I had to admit without any arrogance that it was a prediction that went absolutely true.
At 24, I feel life has come full circle. I saw God, years back struggling for my life in Central Hospital Abu Dhabi. There he came to me and told me that I will be cured and before leaving, he promised to take care of my life henceforth. There were many incidents in this year that made me actually doubt its veracity. But, again time and time on, I have to admit that whatever I have actually believed in has always come true.
Without wanting this banter to sound like utter narcissism, let me quote some examples. In 2002, I had the opportunity to lead the youth of my native church back in India. It was my first hands on experience in leading the youth of a church which was deeply fragmented. I did face lot of problems from the established lot, from the people in authority of the church and I struggled to leave a legacy which never made me happy. Seven years later as I write this post, I have successfully handed over the reins of the youth group in the church in Edmonton to safer hands after a remarkable year of mind-blowing achievements and a legacy I am always proud of. That is just one of the many examples of the power of belief.
Some of my most loved ones have always told me not be overwhelmed by my achievements. Some people ask me not to be under-whelmed in the same tone. I have always felt that whatever I achieve is not because of any of these or my abilities. Most of the time, my crowning achievements have been whenever I have believed. Life has from time on tried to teach me this very lesson about amazing the power of belief. The power of words. The power of ideas. The power of dreams. They do come true, provided we believe in them, prepare ourselves for them and wait for the results to show. It may not show now, nor tomorrow but at the apt and right time. For its always said "…when the teacher is ready, the student shall come".
What should we believe ? Anything. I remember a chilling incident in 1993. I was in Dubai and glancing through the pages of the school magazine of my cousins. There was an article about World War IV in 2000. The writer had apparently predicted a world war then and it was to be led by one Mr. George Bush Jr. In those times, after the successful Operation Desert Storm conducted by the Americans, Mr. George H.Bush was nothing short of a hero for us and it was simply naive to assume then about a World War in 2000 with his son in realm. Years passed and I was in St.Thomas doing my senior school when there was this election between AlGore and the actual Bush.Jr. Everyone predicted an AlGore victory and to me based on this tale years back, assumed Bush to win. Though the manner in which the victory was achieved is debatable, to me the belief years back from a mere reading of a school magazine struck a chord for its prophetic form.
Many instances in life, from coming to Canada to working in the oil industry in Abu Dhabi have happened due to the power of belief. Though then I have never admitted it, now at this age, I feel more than ever that, yeah, it happened not simply because it happened out of destiny, it happened because once a time I actually believed or thought that it would happen. That I feel friends, is the power of belief. We live in an age where we are opulently blessed in resources both monetary and physical along with the power of knowledge. All over people are worried about tomorrow and what it brings for them and their family, their career and lives. But let me ask a question, instead of worrying in that tomorrow, do you believe in that tomorrow ?
These days, I work part-time collecting data for cancer research at the university. I met up with a colleague who speaks the same language as I do. A middle aged man, unfortunately physically impaired but fortunately blessed with dreams and beliefs; most of which he has accomplished or came true. He was telling me a tale of how he met his wife long time back. Years ago, a chance meeting with a lady, he felt that inner calling in him that she was the one. He went and asked her hand. She refused saying that she was getting engaged soon. This did not dissuade him and he asked her parents. Her father kicked him out due to his financial condition then and apparently his family too dissuaded him as well. Disappointed, yet not losing hope and heart, he moved on in life to better himself in his career. Couple of years later after making some money, on a chance visit to his hometown, he came to know that this woman had been widowed unfortunately. Without hesitation, he went and asked her hand this time around. She had no hesitation to agree and today they are a happy family. That my friends is the power of belief.
I have had a successful run this year in predictions. People ask me how do you do it. I have only one answer, if you believe deep down inside for something to happen, it simply happens. There are no paranormal explanations nor is it voodoo or black magic nor any chants of faith. Just the power of belief. The assiduous power of belief we have deep down inside. The gift we never realize that we had. So the question today for each one of us: are we ready to begin believing ?

NorCal SCORE-HSN "American Dreams" To Launch Entrepreneurs Into A New Level Of Success
SCORE, the nation's largest network of volunteer, expert business mentors, has partnered with Home Shopping Network (HSN) and West Valley College to sponsor a Northern California (NorCal) initiative to find entrepreneurs who wish to represent their products on the new HSN program, "American Dreams". This exciting new program is designed to launch entrepreneurs to a new level of success.
On Saturday, September 15th SCORE Silicon Valley and HSN will take the first step to reach entrepreneurs who have a product to promote to 96 million households on the HSN network. The September 15th event at West Valley College in Saratoga, CA is a free information session about this opportunity. Centered around HSN's new show, "American Dreams", the free event will give entrepreneurial hopefuls the opportunity to sharpen their sales skills in a "pitching forum" designed to provide "best practices" advice along with examples of successful pitches. If you have a product, take advantage of this opportunity! Go to www.scoreyourdream.org to start the registration process.
During the second event, in November at West Valley College, entrepreneurs will have the opportunity to pitch their products directly to HSN executives, free of charge. Selected participants will go on to be featured on "American Dreams", promoting their products to HSN's audience of 96 million households. Both events are designed to dovetail into the "American Dreams" mission of helping launch entrepreneurs to a new level of success. These free events are not-to-be-missed opportunities for any budding entrepreneurs in Northern California. All SCORE chapters in North-ern California will provide the required support to enable the participants to be successful.
'We are excited to provide this unique opportunity for entrepreneurial hopefuls to get in front of HSN executives and pitch their products for the "American Dreams" TV show. We will actively support all the participants both before and after the pitch event to ensure their continuing success.' says Florence Chen, Program Director of NorCal SCORE-HSN Program. She will oversee and coordinate SCORE support activities for all the SCORE chapters in Northern California. 'We are very fortunate to also get the support of the Center of Entrepreneurship at West Valley College in
Saratoga, CA'. Manny Cappello its Director says, 'I am very proud and excited to partner with SCORE Silicon Valley on the HSN "American Dreams" program. At West Valley College, learn-launch-lead is more than just our alliteration. It's our way of thinking, a call to action. It's casting aside fears and doubts and achieving one's dreams and ambitions.'

About American Dreams
Home Shopping Network (HSN) has begun airing a new show, "American Dreams", designed to feature entrepreneurs and their products. During each 30-minute segment, the entrepreneurs are interviewed and their products are then promoted for sales on the same show. The show currently airs weekly and HSN hopes to increase its' frequency. That is why HSN is working with SCORE to identify makers and entrepreneurs with interesting products to promote.

The SX Mini M-Class reaches its true potential with the all-new SX350J chip allowing for temperature control and all perfectly packed into the new, sturdier body. The M Class represents an updated and improved body with attention to details such as surface finish, ergonomics, and the much anticipated Temperature Limiting J Chip. YiHi truly upped their game with this monster of a mod which still uses a single 18650 battery, boasts a maximum 60 watts of power, utilizes the Soft/Standard/Powerful modes.
In addition, the M Class allows for operation in Power or Joule modes. You can use standard Kanthal coils and set the wattage as with any regulated mod while in Power mode, or with nickel wire (Ni200) builds in Joules mode, you can set the max temperature to allow for long draws with no dry hits.
Expert craftsmanship, plenty of power, and now—temperature control. The SX Mini M-Class might be the last the mod you'll ever need.
