Out of form Bhuvneshwar Kumar a major worry for Team India | Cricket News
Crimper Bhuvneshwar KumarIndia's lackluster performance in finals disrupts India's T20 plans world Cup
On August 28, when Bhuvneshwar Kumar took 4-26 to play a key role in India's thrilling five-wicket win over rivals Pakistan at the Asian Cup in Dubai, few thought he was only a month away ahead of their opening game of the T20 World Cup 2022 against the same opponents, India's only "T20 specialist" bowler would become the source of one of India's biggest worries.
In three of India's last four matches, Bhuvneshwar have been knocked out in the penultimate game. Everything he tried – yorker, wide yorker, slower ball, knuckle ball, or bouncer, all failed, as he ended up becoming cannon fodder for batsmen waiting to pounce on his friendly mid beat.
In the Asian Cup Super 4 game, Pakistan needed 26 from 2 overs, when the 32-year-old conceded 19 in the 19th overs, eventually finishing with 0-40 from 4 overs. In India's next Asian Cup Super 4 match, Sri Lanka needed 21 from 2 overs, when Bhuveshwar went for 14 in the 19th overs. This time the experienced campaigner went for 0-30 in 4 overs. In both games, Arshdeep Singh had the unfair task of defending just 7 in the final which the youngster valiantly attempted.
At Mohali in the first T20I against India on Tuesday night, Australia needed 55 from 4 overs, when Bhuvi was called up. This time, Mathew Wade threw a "party" at his expense, taking 15 points off his 17th and 16 from his 19th. Bhuvneshwar's numbers made a sad reading -4-0-52-0, the first time he conceded over 50 in a T20I.
Naturally, the batting legend Sunil Gavaskar highlighted Bhuvneshwar's poor form as an "area of concern" for Team India. "We haven't really played as well. That's a real concern. When someone like a Bhuvneshwar Kumar makes so many runs every time, when he's expected to play well, in 18 deliveries in three matches that India lost to Pakistan, Sri Lanka and Australia, he gave up 49 points, or almost three points per ball," Gavaskar told India Today.
"Saying this again, use Bhuvi for only one over in the last 5 overs," tweeted former all-around India commentator Irfan Pathan.
Saying that again, use Bhuvi for a single over in the last 5 overs.
— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) 1663694158000
Point taken. However, the concern here is that if Bhuvneshwar doesn't have the pace or the tact to survive in the final three overs, then will it be possible for India to use him only in the Powerplay overs?
The problem with India's current 'rhythm' attack, which is in the 15 for the World Cup, is that minus Bumrah there is no 'rhythm', unlike in Pakistan, where even the bowlers replacement rapids are in the 140+ range. .
"I think our current bowling offense especially Bhuvneshwar, Harshal and Arshdeep will be hammered in the T20 World Cup in Australia and we won't win any games. I don't know why guys like Mohammad Chami (he is part of the reserves of the Indian team of the World Cup), mohamed siraj and Umran Malik have been left out of the World Cup squad. In Australia you need someone who plays above 140mph, which these three men can do, while maintaining precision and swinging the ball," said the former Indian designer. Karsan Ghavri Tell yourself.
Although his current form may have dropped, there is no doubt that Bhuvneshwar's fabulous record in T20Is – in 78 matches he took 84 wickets at an average of 22.35, with his save rate being a superb 6.95.
Hence, Bhuvneshwar still has its supporters. "I don't think anything is wrong with him. Bowling in UAE and India is different from bowling in Australia where he will get a good rebound. He is still a good choice as he is able to take wickets in the first overs, and that's what India wants. He's a proven bowler and he has the caliber to bounce back," said former India point guard Raju Kulkarni.

55 Camelopardalis
55 Camelopardalis Facts
55 Camelopardalis's star type is luminous giant star that can be located in the constellation of Ursa Major. The description is based on the spectral class.
55 Camelopardalis is not part of the constellation outline but is within the borders of the constellation.
Based on the spectral type (G8II) of the star, the star's colour is white to yellow .
55 Camelopardalis's Alternative Names
The Id of the star in the Yale Bright Star Catalogue is HR3182. HIP40215 is the reference name for the star in the Hipparcos Star Catalogue. The Id of the star in the Henry Draper catalogue is HD67447.
Flamsteed designations are named after the creator, Sir John Flamsteed. Sir John numbered the stars in the constellation with a number and the latin name, this star's Flamsteed designation is 55 Camelopardalis with it shortened to 55 Cam.
BD number is the number that the star was filed under in the Durchmusterung or Bonner Durchmusterung, a star catalogue that was put together by the Bonn Observatory between 1859 to 1903. The star's BD Number is BD+68 524.
Location of 55 Camelopardalis
The location of the luminous giant star in the night sky is determined by the Right Ascension (R.A.) and Declination (Dec.), these are equivalent to the Longitude and Latitude on the Earth. The Right Ascension is how far expressed in time (hh:mm:ss) the star is along the celestial equator. If the R.A. is positive then its eastwards. The Declination is how far north or south the object is compared to the celestial equator and is expressed in degrees. For 55 Camelopardalis, the location is 08h 12m 48.79 and +68° 28` 26.6 .
Radial Velocity and Proper Motion of 55 Camelopardalis
Proper Motion
All stars like planets orbit round a central spot, in the case of planets, its the central star such as the Sun. In the case of a star, its the galactic centre. The constellations that we see today will be different than they were 50,000 years ago or 50,000 years from now. Proper Motion details the movements of these stars and are measured in milliarcseconds. The star is moving 7.44 ± 0.18 milliarcseconds/year towards the north and -0.85 ± 0.26 milliarcseconds/year east if we saw them in the horizon.
Radial Velocity
The Radial Velocity, that is the speed at which the star is moving away/towards the Sun is -11.10 km/s with an error of about 0.30 km/s . When the value is negative then the star and the Sun are getting closer to one another, likewise, a positive number means that two stars are moving away. Its nothing to fear as the stars are so far apart, they won't collide in our life-time, if ever.
55 Camelopardalis Luminosity
Luminosity is the amount of energy that a star pumps out and its relative to the amount that our star, the Sun gives out. The figure of 481.82 that I have given is based on the value in the Simbad Hipparcos Extended Catalogue at the University of Strasbourg from 2012.
Physical Properties (Colour, Temperature) of 55 Camelopardalis
55 Camelopardalis Colour and Temperature
55 Camelopardalis has a spectral type of G8II. This means the star is a white to yellow luminous giant star. The star has a B-V Colour Index of 1.03 which means the star's temperature has been calculated using information from Morgans @ Uni.edu at being 4,908 Kelvin.
55 Camelopardalis Radius
Radius has been calculated as being 35.90 times bigger than the Sun. The Sun's radius is 695,800km, therefore the star's radius is an estimated 24,980,464.93.km. If you need the diameter of the star, you just need to multiple the radius by 2. However with the 2007 release of updated Hipparcos files, the radius is now calculated at being round 25.42. The figure is derived at by using the formula from SDSS and has been known to produce widely incorrect figures. The star's Iron Abundance is -0.15 with an error value of 9.99 Fe/H with the Sun has a value of 1 to put it into context.
55 Camelopardalis Apparent and Absolute Magnitudes
55 Camelopardalis has an apparent magnitude of 5.34 which is how bright we see the star from Earth. Apparent Magnitude is also known as Visual Magnitude. If you used the 1997 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -2.22 If you used the 2007 Parallax value, you would get an absolute magnitude of -1.47. Magnitude, whether it be apparent/visual or absolute magnitude is measured by a number, the smaller the number, the brighter the Star is. Our own Sun is the brightest star and therefore has the lowest of all magnitudes, -26.74. A faint star will have a high number.
Distance to 55 Camelopardalis
Using the original Hipparcos data that was released in 1997, the parallax to the star was given as 3.07 which gave the calculated distance to 55 Camelopardalis as 1062.42 light years away from Earth or 325.73 parsecs. It would take a spaceship travelling at the speed of light, 1062.42 years to get there. We don't have the technology or spaceship that can carry people over that distance yet.
In 2007, Hipparcos data was revised with a new parallax of 4.34 which put 55 Camelopardalis at a distance of 751.53 light years or 230.41 parsecs. It should not be taken as though the star is moving closer or further away from us. It is purely that the distance was recalculated.

Q: how to run xml auto suggestion At Android Studio the XML layout when you type for example <TextView
you expect that the auto-suggestion doesn't give me "match_parent" or "wrap_content" choice on the width and height attribute
like the photo :

5 Things You Should Know About Selvedge Denim
by glenndavis
Denim is one of the most versatile fabrics ever invented. Originally used mainly for tent-making, denim eventually found use as a sturdy clothing material that was easy to clean, stylish, and, most importantly, durable. It was the optimal choice for the working man on the job, but the past hundred years have seen an explosion in the use of denim as a bold fashion statement, proudly worn by everyone from A-list celebrities to the kids at the local club. There are many styles and variations on denim, some created for sex appeal, some for more practical applications, but one of the most versatile and desirable forms of denim has to be selvedge. If you're thinking of taking your denim wardrobe to a whole new level, here are a few things to consider that are sure to put selvedge denim on the top of your list.
"Selvedge" is a cute little contraction of the term "self-edge" or "self-finished edge". Most standard jeans do not possess a self-finished edge, and thus are more prone to fraying and unraveling. Some denim fans consider this wear and tear to be attractive on their jeans, but modern fashion is moving away from this apathetic stance and it looks like this kind of "grunge chic" may be past its day. Basically, selvedge jeans are a bit more expensive, a lot more durable, and extremely desirable to the denim connoisseur. They won't dissolve into a tangle of fibers. The guarantee is right there in the name.
The Manufacturing Process
Selvedge jeans have become scarce in the past fifty years thanks to the decline in the shuttle loom as a manufacturing tool. Shuttle looms were common before the 1950s but they fell out of style with the increased demand for cheaper (and lower quality) denim. Shuttle looms aren't the fastest tools for denim-making, but the jeans they churn out are beyond compare. And with the increased demand for retro fashion, it looks like shuttle looms are making a comeback in a big way.
Since the rise of the cheap, mass-produced blue jean in America in the 1950s, the main producer of selvedge denim has been Japan. Many Japanese factories still possess shuttle looms, some of which are decades old and still in wonderful condition. If you bought a pair of selvedge jeans in past ten years, it's a safe bet they were made in Japan. But once again, selvedge denim is becoming big business in the United States for the first time in a while. It looks like there may be some competition for the selvedge market brewing in the good old U.S.A. Source: https://rawrdenim.wpengine.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/selvedge-denim-hem.png
Selvedge denim has existed since the 19th century. We've got James Dean to thank for transforming common work wear into a symbol of rebellion and sex appeal. The actor famously sported a pair of ragged jeans in "Rebel Without a Cause", creating a definitive moment in fashion history that still influences us to this day. It was American icons like Dean and Clint Eastwood who kept interest in selvedge denim alive in Japan. Japanese consumers couldn't get enough of the sexy, exotic blue garment, and today selvedge is making its way back over to the West after fifty years existing as an export from the Land of the Rising Sun.
The Durability
In addition to being a sexy and exclusive choice that bespeaks real denim expertise, selvedge denim is nigh indestructible. The hem of the fabric is woven or knit after it comes out of the loom, creating a much more durable edge. Also, selvedge denim usually has a more dense weave overall, meaning the fabric is extra resistant to tearing and can provide more protection from the elements. Grab a pair of selvedge jeans at your next opportunity and see if you can't tell the difference. You won't regret it. You can start by checking out all of Cult's selvedge denim styles here!


The salience of one's ethnic identity, the subjective importance of that identity in one's life, was hypothesized to impact the extent to which inclusion predicts work-related outcomes (i.e., strain-based work-family conflict, work-family enrichment, job satisfaction and job stress) among 225 working women. Women who felt included at work (i.e., those who can participate, have influence and can "be themselves") were predicted to experience positive work-related outcomes. Further, belongingness at work was predicted to interact with ethnic identity salience to impact work-related outcomes for working women. Hierarchical linear regression analyses indicated that inclusion was significantly associated with positive work-related outcomes; yet, there was no support (with one exception) for ethnic identity salience as a predictor of these outcomes, neither as a main effect nor as a moderator. After controlling for belongingness at work, ethnic identity salience did significantly predict ethnic identity nonacceptance (a facet of job stress) among minority women. Possible limitations of this research, suggestions for future research, and implications for employers are discussed. Contributions made by this research include (a) introduction of an identity theory framework for exploring work-family issues, (b) illustration of the importance of linking internal identities and their subjective importance or salience to external roles, (c) utilization of a broader definition and measurement tool for ethnic and gender stressors at work, and (d) demonstration of new links between workplace inclusion and work-family outcomes (i.e., strain-based work-family conflict and work-family enrichment) among working women.


Dog dad. Snowflake fan. #DC defender. Wanter of #Kansasing. I also think about #weather too much. Co-founder @ustornadoes.
still feel like this year doesn't look like your typical dead one. but I have been known to chasecation wishcast.
feel like last year was just kinda lame until like June and by then it's too late in general. 2017 was more east/southeast I think. GA region in particular that year.. the jet was strong but wasn't hitting the Plains right. whole decade has been kinda weird since 2012 at least.
I'm still not too bothered altho there is a chance chasing is fully like post-Santa Christmas now.. tbd. also possible this decade is cursed. or well... you know.
def seems like another high plains year.. not sure it'll be the best of the whole thing but that local moisture's gonna matter eventually.
a lot of the political media takes it to the next level these days. it's like at some point it would be nice if they learned to stop shooting themselves in the foot.. as a free press supporter on the whole.
Noticeable uptick in chaser worry about May/the year this weekend. Classic #2010sing.
Yeah I mean I get the idea if he's in public maybe ask a question but today as he's leaving church? Then to keep at it like he's the president leaving the lectern. Peculiar.
I remember one on our property in CA and I put a bucket over it and ran off. I'd prob do the same now.
Spin. You said look it up. Clearly a bunch of people did not if they claim to have never hear the term. Spin again if you wish I'm leaving for a while.
What else could Easter worshippers refer to anyway?
It's crazy how much blind dishonesty there is these days.
These are all churches as you can see if you go to the website. It used to be an important part of being a good Christian was not being a liar.

Air Force looks to get proactive on cyber defense
By Joey Cheng
The Air Force has put out a call for a range of proactive cyber defenses, including self-healing software and deceptive capabilities that could fool cyber attackers.
The Air Force Research Lab is launching an initiative to become more cyber resilient through five specific focus areas, according to a Broad Agency Announcement released on the FedBizOpps website earlier this month.
Overall, the service is looking for ways to increase situational awareness and assess potential impacts of attacks, as well as implement a deterrence and effects-based defense methodology. This includes research in trusted hardware and software, mission awareness, and recovery techniques.
The announcement names five focused research areas that the Air Force is investigating. Each focus area is only open for specific fiscal years:
Design Assurance (2014 – 2017). The Air Force is looking to develop mathematical specifications that would be able to prove how secure a hardware and software product is and develop proactive technologies to mitigate threats. The research will be used to create a design framework for assured cyber systems and develop a mathematically based security engineering culture.
Survival and Recovery of Essential Functions (2015-2017). Because current systems would not be able to withstand sophisticated attacks or accidents, AFRL is seeking systems that could find their own vulnerabilities and regenerate lost services and data. Examples of concepts that would fall under this thrust include self-protecting software systems capable of anticipating future threats, automatic repairs that could fix code and corrupted data, the identification of cyber defense metrics, and infrastructure virtualization.
Cyber Deception (2015 – 2016). The service wants tools that, similar to normal military operations, could provide cyber deception capabilities to trick and manipulate cyber attackers. Intended to be used solely on Defense Department networks, the mechanisms developed would have to be transparent to users and concealed from adversaries, all while impeding attackers by increasing the costs of their actions while providing increasingly limited gains.
Cyber Agility (2015 – 2017). In addition to deception, the Air Force is also looking to develop maneuverability in the cyber realm, defending DOD networks by adding complexity and uncertainty for would-be attackers. At the same time, the Air Force is looking for techniques that would not adversely affect function and performance, and are transparent to network users.
Embedded System Resilience and Agility (2015 – 2017). The Air Force is looking to find preemptive defense approaches to protect vulnerable embedded systems. Embedded systems, which contain one or more microprocessors and software, often contain important information that represents significant security challenges. For instance, one focus falling under this research includes the command and control systems of unmanned aerial systems. The current research is looking to protect these assets without networking, and instead is focusing on hardware, software and advanced technical solutions.
Additional applications of the technology developed from this announcement could be used for attack geolocation, novel protocols, cloud security, mobile device security, virtualization security, cyber evaluation techniques, and cyber data modeling and mining.
Total funding for the announcement is approximately $49 million. The Air Force is currently accepting white papers on a rolling basis. The announcement will close on Sept. 30, 2019.
Joey Cheng is an editorial fellow with Defense Systems.

Dental implants are artificial tooth replacements. And when done by an expert dentist such as Dr. Azarian, they can be virtually indistinguishable from other teeth. Whether replacing a single missing tooth, retaining a removable prosthesis, or restoring an entire mouth, dental implants are the most predictable, long lasting, cost effective method of treating these conditions.

The good folks over at The Audio Perv have the new single from Spoon, "Written In Reverse," up. You can check it out HERE. I'm really diggin' this one. It's rather catchy. I think this makes what, the third or forth Spoon song that gets more than an "it's okay" rating from me? I dare say it has made me look forward to checking out the album when it comes out.

Purchasing a new amusement device fact sheet
This factsheet provides general information on how to ensure you are purchasing an amusement device that is safe for your operators, patrons and others nearby. It will also help you to make sure your amusement device complies with the NSW Work Health and Safety (WHS) legislative requirements.
The following checklist can be used by a person purchasing an amusement device to ensure it has safety features that meet current Australian expectations as outlined in the Australian Standard AS 3533.1 including rider restraints, residual current device (RCDs) and guarding on machinery.
Before purchasing think about the type of amusement device you are going to buy and make sure it is designed for safe operation. Think about engaging a technical expert for example an engineer during
purchasing to provide advice on what you will need for safe operation and to make sure the amusement device will meet industry expectations and WHS legislative requirements.
The supplier should be able to provide product brochures, technical specification sheets and operation manuals to help you make an informed decision.
What features the amusement device should have to ensure safe operation, has it been safeguarded as much as possible to meet Australian expectations? Does it have suitable controls to eliminate the WHS hazards? Will it be safe for your patrons and others nearby? Consider the number of patrons and any age, height or weight restrictions.
Have you carried out a WHS risk assessment that includes the installation, commissioning, operation, inspection and maintenance and for mobile amusement devices, pack up and transport?
What size area do you need to operate the amusement device in? Are there any environmental factors such as wind and height restrictions? Will it fit in with existing rides and venues? How many people will be required to set-up and dismantle? Do you need any special equipment or licensed people to do this? What type of transport do you need for the amusement device?
Talking to your workers about possible WHS risks and discuss with them what amusement device you are after including what safety features the amusement device should have to ensure safe operation. Your workers can assist in identifying safe operator controls to enable the amusement device to be fail safe.
What training your operators will need to operate the amusement device safely. Are you familiar with this type of amusement device or model, should you seek advice from others in the industry such as an industry association or WHS regulator?
What are the service requirements, how long before it will need a service, repair or replacement? Does it require a competent person to undertaken the service? Are spare parts and after sales support available in Australia?
Identifying the controls that are required to eliminate hazards or minimise health and safety risks. What are the hazards and risks associated with installation, commissioning, operation, inspection, maintenance, repair, transport, storage and dismantling of the amusement device? Are these controls incorporated into the design of the amusement device?
Whether certain modifications would need to be made to meet Australian expectations as outlined in Australian Standard 3533 series. Think about how you will document and manage changes
What you will need to operate the amusement device, including operator licensing requirements, on-going training, instructions, supervision and verification of competencies.
Identifying the future inspection and maintenance requirements. Including:
The availability of information, assistance and on-going support from the manufacturer which is specific to Australian requirements.
The availability and compatibility of spare parts.
When the next inspection is required. Refer to SafeWork Australia's annual inspection information sheet for annual inspection requirements.
A maintenance plan will help keep your operator's, patrons and others nearby safe and reduce downtime.
The availability of suitable competent persons to undertake inspections and maintenance.
Will the amusement device need to be registered with a WHS regulator? Some states and territories have different item and design registration requirements to NSW, including what types of amusement devices require registration. Check with the WHS regulator in each state/territory you plan to operate for their requirements. It is advisable to make sure registration requirements can be met before finalising the purchase.
Know your WHS obligation
When you buy an amusement device and take ownership under the WHS legislation you become a person with management or control. This requires you to ensure the amusement device is without risks to the
health and safety of any person, including those who are near the amusement device when it is in use.
You must ensure the amusement device is fit for purpose and is used as designed. Ensure it is correctly operated and maintained in accordance with the manufacturer's instructions or in the absence of such specification, in accordance with a competent person's recommendations.
Know the suppliers WHS obligations
Suppliers must take all reasonable steps to obtain relevant information from the amusement device manufacturer and then pass on that information when supplying the amusement device. You should obtain
as much of this information as you can, such as:
What the amusement device was designed or manufactured to do
What safety features does it have or what safety equipment do you need to safely operate the amusement device
Adequate information or results from any calculations, analysis, testing or examination that will help to ensure safe operation of the amusement device
The conditions required to ensure the safe operations of the amusement device, for example operator's manual
The maintenance, inspection and testing requirements of the amusement device to ensure continued safe operation, for example maintenance manual
The WHS design registration number or preferably a copy of the registration certificate, where applicable.
Work Health and Safety Act 2011 Sections 20-26 for specific information on the duties of persons who design, manufacture, import, supply, install and manage amusement devices.
Work Health and Safety Regulation 2017 Clauses 238-242 for specific information on control measures for amusement devices.
SafeWork NSW website for specific information on registering amusement device designs and further information on amusement devices.


There are times when many people sit back and reflect on what they could've done different when they were younger, and in a recent interview with The Big Issue, 50 Cent took the time to do just that. The rapper gives insight on what he wish he could've told the young Fiddy as he expressed the importance of focusing more on music than anything else.
The rapper also went on the record to say that Jay Z did a better job at capitalizing on people than he did while growing up and how phenomenal of a battle rapper Eminem was. "The guys who were up against him would think of everything you could say about him, then he'd say those things about himself first," he shares. "So everything they had against him, he took it away. He was writing all this personal stuff. I was never anything like that. I came into music with songwriting intentions 'cause that's where the money was."
Check out more of 50 Cent's open letter here as he shares revealing confessions about the influence of his mom and grandmother, his meeting with Jam Master Jay, and more.


Jonathan McReynolds was invited to perform at Donald's Trump inauguration and he declined.
The singer/songwriter penned a blog post on Sunday (January 15) describing in detail why he passed on the opportunity to sing at the main event's after party. Mean while Travis Greene accepted the invitation.
"Let's marinate on that for a second," he wrote. "I grew up a straight up nerd heading toward meteorology or computer engineering but now as a Christian [entertainer], regardless of how it happened and who the PEOTUS is, I was invited to the Inaugural Ball." He said.
I declined because I simply don't believe this opportunity was for ME. God's people absolutely need to be there though, whether they are praying, speaking, or singing. I pray the Body of Christ NEVER gets comfortable publicly rebuking ITSELF, it's own people, when they take meetings, take opportunities, to affect and touch leaders, especially the ones we don't agree with.
There was a leader much worse than anyone America has elected and his term was longer than four years, King Nebuchadnezzer. History, our redemption history, would have changed dramatically if Daniel and the three Hebrew boys didn't toe the line between serving and bowing so well. They didn't eat everything the King tried to feed them and they didn't bow when it opposed what they knew was true, but they were definitely in the building. The unique power and potency in their gifts actually made the King bow and bend to them. I'm sure their fellow Hebrews were suspicious of their closeness to the King, but the King was made better because of that closeness.

Liverpool star Joe Gomez's cousin tipped as 'new Jamie Vardy' as non-league striker is eyed by Prem clubs
By Jordan Davies
Updated: 3 Dec 2019, 19:02
JOE GOMEZ'S second cousin is on course to become the next Jamie Vardy.
Enfield Town striker Muhammadu Faal – whose father is the cousin of the Liverpool and England star's father Augustus – is being eyed up by several Premier League sides.

Muhammadu Faal has been on fire for Enfield Town this season and is now being eyed by Prem sides
SunSport understands Norwich, Watford, Crystal Palace, Bournemouth and Sheffield United have all taken an interest in the 22-year-old after impressing in the seventh tier of English football.
Faal has scored 18 goals in 19 games so far this campaign – as well as bagging nine assists.
And if he continues to fire in the goals, it will not be long before he joins relative Gomez - born just two months apart - in the top flight.
most popular football stories
It really would be a Vardy-esque rise through the ranks for the young forward.
Faal began his career in Italy with Serie C side L'Aquila as an 18-year-old, making five senior appearances.
He then enjoyed a series of free transfers to non-league sides Dulwich Hamlet, Kingstonian FC and then Enfield.

Impunity for human rights violations must be challenged from Guatemala to the Wet'suwet'en territories

The term "impunity" is often used in reports about human rights violations in Latin America, but it should also be more commonly part of our political vocabulary in North America.
The word itself has Latin origins (im poena -- not punished) and has been defined as "Exemption from punishment or freedom from the injurious consequences of an action."
Impunity can refer to organized crime, government officials, the police and military, and corporations committing crimes and offences without being held accountable or brought to justice for them.
Their human rights violations can include criminalization and intimidation, threats, torture, disappearances, forcible displacement, political imprisonment and killings.
For example, Reuters has reported, "Activists and United Nations investigators have accused Mexican security forces of crimes. including murder, torture and disappearances. since the military was sent to tackle its powerful drug cartels in 2007."
Peace Brigades International-UK has highlighted, "PBI has provided protection to at-risk human rights defenders in [Mexico] since 2000, an experience that has shown us that in the federal states where a security strategy based on militarisation has been implemented, attacks against activists have increased significantly."
In November 2017, The Guardian reported, "The vast majority of human rights abuses allegedly committed by soldiers waging Mexico's war on drug gangs go unsolved and unpunished despite reforms letting civilian authorities investigate and prosecute such crimes, [says a study by the Washington Office on Latin America]."
And on January 29, Amnesty International stated, "The Guatemalan Congress will shortly discuss a draft law (Law 5377) which seeks to grant amnesty for serious human rights violations perpetrated during the internal armed conflict" between the military dictatorship and leftist rebel groups supported by the Maya indigenous people.
If passed, they say it would lead to the immediate release of dozens of people convicted of genocide, torture and enforced disappearance, among other crimes.
Erika Guevara-Rosas, Americas director at Amnesty International, says, "The Guatemalan Congress must refrain from continuing discussion of a law that seeks to guarantee impunity for the perpetrators of these atrocities and that violates Guatemala's international obligations to investigate, prosecute and punish such crimes."
A major technical report on impunity published in 2017 concluded that, "Impunity worsens when there is no respect of the basic rules for social coexistence and where there are large impunity and corruption pacts in the political and economic elites."
That report ranked countries on their levels of impunity.
It found that, for example, Croatia had a very low level of impunity (measured at 36.01 points), that Guatemala had an intermediate level of impunity (at 62.40 points), and that Mexico had a very high level of impunity (at 69.21 points).
Canada was ranked as "intermediate," with a measurement of 55.27 points.
In January, APTN reported that the Canadian Femicide Observatory for Justice and Accountability had found that Indigenous women accounted for 36 per cent of the estimated 148 women killed in 2018 even though they make up just 4.9 per cent of the population.
Myrna Dawson, the director of the Guelph, Ontario-based centre, commented that, "There is growing recognition of impunity for perpetrators particularly for some victims and in Canada those are indigenous women and girls."
Furthermore, there are concerns about the level of impunity particularly with respect to police violence against Indigenous peoples and people of colour.
The Special Investigations Unit (SIU) in Ontario is "a civilian law enforcement agency which investigates incidents involving police officers where there has been death, serious injury or allegations of sexual assault." Its reports do not include race-based statistics.
In 2014-15, the SIU opened 266 cases. But Toronto-based writer Andray Domise has highlighted in Maclean's magazine that, "In the 2014-15 reporting year, 94.9 per cent of officers investigated by the SIU were cleared."
In 2015, Rodney Diverlus, the co-founder of Black Lives Matter Toronto, told The Toronto Star, "For us to not have [race-based] data is a crucial piece of the puzzle that's missing to actually hold police accountable and to actually have meaningful discussions about how police can better serve and protect our racialized communities."
And notably there are concerns about the criminalization of Indigenous peoples and environmentalists by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police (RCMP).
A January 2014 RCMP intelligence assessment report concludes, "There is a growing, highly organized and well-financed anti-Canada petroleum movement that consists of peaceful activists, militants and violent extremists who are opposed to society's reliance on fossil fuels."
The Globe and Mail has noted, "The report extolls the value of the oil and gas sector to the Canadian economy, and adds that many environmentalists 'claim' that climate change is the most serious global environmental threat…"
This gives some context for the RCMP actions against the Wet'suwet'en peoples and their support for Coastal GasLink (CGL) in the initial construction activities of the fracked gas pipeline on Wet'suwet'en territory.
The Wet'suwet'en have not given their free, prior and informed consent for the project that crosses their territory as required under the international legal norms outlined in the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples.
In Canada Hates Indigenous People, the Unist'ot'en Camp website highlights, "We see daily how RCMP permits CGL to break Canadian laws, while we are threatened with arrest for exercising our rights and title."
This Unist'ot'en Camp video provides just one example of what they are experiencing.
This ongoing impunity must be challenged.

Equity Mutual Funds See Outflows For Fifth Straight Month As Selling Intensifies
Alex Mathew@alexandermats
Dec 08 2020, 12:45 PM Dec 08 2020, 1:28 PM December 08 2020, 12:45 PM December 08 2020, 1:28 PM
Equity mutual funds witnessed an outflow for the fifth straight month as redemptions intensified on profit-booking despite benchmarks scaling lifetime highs.Net outflow from equity and equity-linked mutual fund schemes stood at Rs 12,917.36 crore in November compared with an outflow of Rs 2,724.95 crore in October, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India.

Equity mutual funds witnessed an outflow for the fifth straight month as redemptions intensified on profit-booking despite benchmarks scaling lifetime highs.
Net outflow from equity and equity-linked mutual fund schemes stood at Rs 12,917.36 crore in November compared with an outflow of Rs 2,724.95 crore in October, according to data released by the Association of Mutual Funds in India. That's the biggest outflow at least since April 2018, when the AMFI began compiling data in the current manner.
"This is mainly on account of profit-booking. People believe that there is a huge amount of movement in the equity markets and they are trying to take advantage and taking money off the table. The stock market has moved quite quickly upwards, so people are taking profits," said NS Venkatesh, chief executive officer at AMFI.
First, fears of the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on businesses and then investors booking profits dragged net investments into equity funds for the past few months. That too when equity markets soared. In November, the Nifty 50 gained 11.3%. The gauge even crossed the 13,000-mark for the first time, erasing all the pandemic-triggered losses, on hopes of a potential Covid-19 vaccine and quicker-than-expected economic recovery. Foreign investors have fuelled the surge, piling a record $9.6 billion into Indian shares in November. The Sensex, too, gained more than 11% last month.
"It's understandable that people are pulling money out of equity-oriented schemes at this time. From a valuation standpoint, the equity markets look very highly rated. We're currently at around 32 [times] PE for the Sensex," said Harshvardhan Roongta, certified financial planner and founder of Roongta Securities. "We have people who called us asking whether to book profits. But our view is that if you don't need money for the next three-four years, you should stay invested," Roongta said.
Category-Wise Trend
All types of equity and equity-linked schemes saw outflows, the biggest since the AMFI started releasing granular data in April 2019.
Large caps saw the most outflows among funds. Investors pulled out close to Rs 3,300 crore on a net basis from large-cap funds during the reported month against Rs 550 crore withdrawn in October. These funds have now witnessed an outflow for six straight months.
The selling continued in multi, mid and small caps as well. While investors withdrew Rs 2,842.08 crore from multi-cap funds during the reported month, outflows from mid- and small-cap funds stood at Rs 1,317.15 crore and Rs 1031.23 crore, respectively.
SIP Flows
Contributions through systematic investment plans in November fell to Rs 7,302 crore in November—the lowest since April 2018—from Rs 7,800 crore in October.
"Nothing to worry—that's because there were holidays towards the end of the month. And all the flows that would have been recorded on those days will be recorded in December. We believe that it would have been more or less close to Rs 7,800 crore if not for the holidays," Venkatesh said. Mutual funds, he said, added 10.6 lakh new SIP accounts during the month and 7.2 lakh were closed, so there was a net addition of close to 3.4 lakh SIP accounts during the month.
Net Flows
Overall, the mutual fund industry saw a net inflow of Rs 27,194 crore, aided by heavy investments into debt-oriented mutual fund schemes in November. That even offset an outflow from liquid or money market schemes.
Liquid funds, used by companies to park short-term cash, saw outflows worth Rs 8,415 crore in November against an inflow of Rs 19,582.70 crore in October.
Credit risk funds witnessed outflows at least for 20 straight months, albeit at a slower pace. Investors in November withdrew a net of Rs 15.39 crore from such funds. In April 2020, credit risk funds witnessed the highest-ever monthly outflow after Franklin Templeton Mutual Fund wound up six such schemes citing redemption pressure.
With interest rates at record lows, yields especially on lower-tenor instruments are extremely unattractive, according to Roongta. "The returns on overnight and liquid schemes is below 3%, so naturally you'll see a shift to the slightly higher yielding tenors," he said. "There is also increased interest in corporate bond funds because there is now a perception that the outlook for credit risk has improved."
Companies, Roongta said, are not likely to default on debt repayments at the rate that was expected when the pandemic began. As a result, there is a natural gravitation towards higher rated corporate debt because of the yields that are available in that segment.
Total industry assets under management increased 5.3% over preceding month to Rs 29.83 lakh crore in November. Equity AUM rose 6.3% month-on-month to Rs 8.3 lakh crore, reflecting the rise in equity markets during the month.

I am on week four of my pre-op diet, so I thought I would post my next three goals. So far, I would say I am doing okay. I cut out pop in my first week and have yet to cheat on that! I'm pretty proud of that one. Week two I promised myself I would eat out less. Since, I have not bought food at school once or gone to Starbucks. I still have went out for dinner with friends, but it's certainly less than I used to. I try to make healthier choices when I am out, like a chicken salad. I won't lie, I have struggled with taking my vitamins every day. I'm trying! I know how important it will be after my surgery. I don't know why I just have such a hard time bringing myself to do it. I usually take my morning dose but after that it's all to hell! So, I am still working on that one. In less than a month, I have lost 11 pounds. I know it's not much but I'm getting there! Here are my next 3 steps towards a healthier life.
1. Keep a strict food journal – I have been toying with this for a while. I go a few days and then I stop but it's time to get serious. I know my doctor will want to see some type of log eventually. I'm going to start using MyFitnessPal. It's the best iPhone app I have found for keeping track of food (and someday exercise). The app is loaded with foods and their complete nutritional value, which I love! Yes everyone, you can keep track of your calories, protein, fiber and more! Just search the brand or type of food you are consuming and it's likely to be there. I have yet to input one thing. If you just want to count calories, it also has a quick add option. You can even add friends and track your weight. The app is easy, it's just remembering that's hard! This weeks goal is to immediately input everything I eat.
2. 8 glasses of water a day – It's important for everyone to drink 8 glasses of water a day but it's even more important for bariatric patients to avoid dehydration. So why not start now! I hear it helps aid in weight loss too. I have already measured my favourite CamelBak water bottle and it's the equivalent of 2 glasses. Therefore, I have to drink 4 full bottles a day. That shouldn't be much of an issue for me, seeing as I absolutely love water and always seem thirsty. I plan to track it in MyFitnessPal along with my food just to be sure! Remember everyone, don't use plastic bottles! Invest in something reusable.
3. 15 minutes of exercise 3x a week – Oh my, this one will be the killer. It's not that I don't enjoy working out, I do. I just can't handle what comes afterwards. As someone with Rheumatoid Arthritis and Fibromyalgia, I just can't seem to win with exercise. I know, I know. It's supposed to help those conditions but that has yet to be true for me. One small work out costs me a week of pain. I live a pretty busy life and I just don't have the time to not be able to move and function properly. It's so frustrating and has been a never ending cycle that has followed me throughout my life. Living in daily pain is enough, adding to it has always seemed absurd. I tried working with a personal trainer on exercises that were supposed to help me and lead me to weight loss. Absolutely no dice! She would stretch me before and after every workout but I would still wake up crying the next day. So needless to say, this challenge is going to be tough for me. I was recently put on two new medications so I'm praying that they will change something. I do have a free gym in my high-rise, which is awesome. I'm going to try to do the treadmill for 15 minutes, three times a week. Maybe I can try the hot tub or sauna afterwards and see if it helps with the healing! I know I will have to eventually work out more, but this is my starting point and will be my biggest challenge to date.
Tonight I am driving home to Pennsylvania for 24 hours so that I can attend my monthly meeting with my primary care physician. I hope she will be happy with my results but I know that I need to do better. I plan on bringing in my list of goals, giving her a link to my blog and asking her some questions about workouts for RA/Fibro patients. I will keep everyone updated on what she has to say!
If you would like to follow my journey more closely, follow me on Twitter!

11 pounds IS a lot – rock on, girl!
I have also found SparkPeople.com to be a great resource – they have message boards for every topic under the sun so perhaps that could be a good way to connect with other RA patients who are trying to lose weight!
Even small things like walking back and forth in your living room instead of sitting while you watch a TV show can be huge!
Keep up the good work and good luck at the PCP's office!
Thanks Lauren! Yeah, I've checked SparkPeople! It's a good place to get questions answered. Great advice though, you're the best!
When is your surgery and what surgery are you having? You're gorgeous girl! Love your posts.
Thanks Erika! I don't have a date yet, I'm doing the 6 month pre-op diet currently. Tentatively, sometime in August. I have chosen the Roux-En-Y Gastric Bypass. I want to thank you for your review on Chike! I ordered the variety pack also and so far I am satisfied. If you like shakes, try pumpkin with the vanilla powder. It's amazing!
Yeah, I used to have Spark People but I like MFP better too. Can I tell you how bad I've been craving diet coke today! Wow it's the first time in a month that I've just been dying to have one. Wow, two days away! That's so exciting, good luck! RA & Fibro is literally a nightmare, I can't even begin to explain.

I was a part of the workshop in Costa Rica and it was an excellent experience. The amazing part of it all was that I was able to use everything I learned really fast. I'm taking a course at the ITCR (where I study) where we have to develop an idea for our graduation project and the things I learned with Henrik and Eme are super useful. I think I'll be forever thankful with these two for what they taught me.

Pink Sands Makes the Grade in Rampart Stakes
Gainesway Stable and Andrew Rosen's Pink Sands rallied from last to score her first graded-stakes victory in Saturday's $100,000 Rampart (G3) at Gulfstream Park.
Trained by Hall of Famer Shug McGaughey, the 4-year-old daughter of Tapit claimed her third victory in four starts over the Gulfstream Park track in the one-turn mile stakes for fillies and mares.
Pink Sands dropped far off the pace under Jose Ortiz behind favored Cookie Dough, who led the way along the backstretch. Pink Sands, who launched her drive on the far turn, swung extremely wide into the stretch and finished with a flurry to catch the favorite at the wire.
Pink Sands, who turned in back-to-back victories before finishing fourth in the Inside Information (G2) at Gulfstream last season, ran a mile in 1:36.20 to win her fifth race and second stakes from 17 starts.
Tapit stands at Gainesway for $200,000.

(between 6th Avenue and Broadway)
On Saturday, December 6, 2008, Dance Times Square Latin and Ballroom Studio held its annual in-house student / teacher, or pro / amateur, competition. (Full disclosure: I am a former student of Dance Times Square). Their competitions are fashioned like a regular Dancesport pro / am championship, with the studio's students, partnered with their teachers, competing against each other at all levels of Standard and Latin: from Pre-Bronze up through Silver, and Open Gold. There were 103 heats altogether, about half of which were International Standard and American Smooth, the other half International Latin and American Rhythm.
This year's judges were former Latin champions Vibeke Toft and Allan Tornsberg, who also coach at the studio, and current top Latin dancer, Plamen Danailov. The judges rank the students in each heat, and also give the students suggestions for improvement, advice that becomes very useful when the student goes on to compete in a "real" championship event.
Normally, Melanie LaPatin, co-owner of the studio, introduces each heat, but this year, because she and co-owner Tony Meredith were in Canada choreographing for the Canadian version of the TV show "So You Think You Can Dance," Broadway choreographer and former dancer Mercedes Ellington, who is on the studio's advisory board, emceed. Ellington proved to be a lively announcer. A wide variety of songs were played, particularly for the Standard portion of the competition, and from time to time, Ellington would run little trivia contests, asking the crowd who sang or wrote the song, or what movie or Broadway show it was from. This kept the audience on its feet. At one point, she asked the crowd what Broadway shows they had seen; people shouted out names of musicals and dramas. "Spring Awakening" had perhaps the most shout-outs. Ellington bemoaned the closing of many Broadway shows due to the financial crisis and reminded us to all go see as many as we could in the upcoming weeks so that we could tell our "ancestors there was once this great thing called Broadway." Truly sobering.
Dance Times Square teachers Frederic Havez, Michael Choi, Manuel Favilla, Karolina Paliwoda, Lauren Schelfhaudt, and Magdalena Piekarz, each danced with many students, totaling about thirty altogether, the competition lasting about four hours. It always amazes me how quickly Dance Times Square students improve. Michael Choi's student, Susan Washburn, has been dancing only about three to four years and already she is dancing at a very high level of Latin and doing complicated, intricate footwork with lovely little flourishes in Smooth as well. And her social Hustle was crazy mad fun. She got many wild, well-deserved rounds of applause. Other impressively advancing students included, to name just a few, David Johnson, Elisabetta Nicotra, Bauer McQuaid, Sheryl McCabe, and Johanna McKenzie.
I was told that longtime dance instructor Jacob Jason has recently relocated to California, where he is to open his own studio. New teacher Manuel Favilla, a very impressive Latin dancer with loads of charisma, has taken over some of Jason's students, and, by the looks of it, is doing quite well with them. All of the teachers at Dance Times Square, at least from what I've seen, seem to focus a great deal of attention on their students, and take great pride in the student's accomplishments. And they should. After all, if your students place well in competitions, it speaks volumes of your own skill and value as a teacher.
After the competition, there was a pizza party with general dancing. It was also announced that Piekarz will be leaving the studio, to teach in Philadelphia. She's a sweet but serious instructor and she will be missed.

I was sitting at work today pounding away on my keyboard composing an email when I was haunted by the Ghost of Christmas Past. This visitation happens at least once a year around this week.
I am the oldest of the family, and I have two younger siblings: Jeff is about two years younger than I and Amy a little more than two years younger than Jeff. I imagine that we were pretty much like every other set of siblings—harmoniously enjoying each others' company one minute and the next we could be at each others' throats.
Every year, the elementary school we attended would have a Craft Fair/Christmas Market before the Holidays. We would save our allowance for what seemed like an eternity so that we could go to the market and buy our Christmas presents for our family. Back then, we were literally spending 100% of our savings on presents for everyone else, and that always felt good.
My favorite category of childhood memories are the memories that came from our spontaneous creation of new games. We constantly invented games that we'd never played before. Most times we never played them again but rare games we played over and over. My memory is fuzzy of exactly when, but I'm guessing I was around 6 or 8 when we invented a really cute and sweet game.
It was Christmas time, probably right around school's winter break, and we were psyched for Christmas to come. In order to get an early Christmas fix we had invented a new game. Each of us had little plastic bins, which normally held arts and crafts stuff. We each emptied those bins and then left them outside of our rooms. Then we each would find and locate something in our rooms, sneak out to the hallway and leave it in one of our siblings' bins, knock on the door and run back to our room. After each round of this gifting, we'd meet back up in my room, thank each other and play with our "new" gifts. I don't remember the gifts exchanged, but I do remember that we all wound up gifting some of our favorite toys that we knew our siblings had been envious of.
During one round of play, we huddled back up and began talking about Christmas to come. Mostly, I imagine talking about the different presents we wanted. In our huddle, I sarcastically told my sister "If you show me what you bought me for Christmas, I will show you what I got you." Being only six or seven, I had not yet quite mastered delivering sarcastic messages effectively. Amy gave no immediate reaction and I had felt that she understood that I was not being serious.
We all left the room to prepare for our next round of gifting, but this time instead of waiting in her room, Amy rushed back out immediately. In her hands, she held an eraser shaped like an elephant and a matching pad of paper. That year, her gift for me sunk my heart. Unfortunately, this was probably the first of many times that Amy would learn that oldest brother is a joker and was prone to say things without thinking them through.
I did my very best to explain to Amy that I was kidding, but by then the damage was done. Amy started to cry, and despite what many of you think about your big brothers, we don't actually like to see that. Amy was distraught and upset now "that the surprise was ruined." This was terribly distressing, I told Amy how much I liked the present and how I was looking forward to unwrapping it on Christmas day again. I promised that I'd be tremendously surprised and nobody would know. This seemed to soothe Amy but I had the impression it wasn't going to be enough.
There are many lessons to be learned here. Primarily as an older sibling you have an innate power over your younger siblings that you never realize that you have, and secondarily just because your meaning is perfectly clear to yourself doesn't necessarily mean it is to someone else. Mostly I wish that 6-or-7- year-old Brian would've learned and applied those lessons in prior to that night. Then he wouldn't have to periodically get the nagging feeling that he ruined Christmas. When I get the chance I'd be happy to try teach this lesson. It's the least a good Uncle can do.
I didn't mean for this to sound so morose when it was actually bittersweet. The game and the spirit was pretty sweet, especially for the three of us. And, there was a bit of sad sweetness in how much it was apparent that Amy at that age was looking forward to the giving of gifts as much as she was at the receiving of gifts. There's a significant part of that night that I regret, but a good chunk of the memory is a sizable portion of warm-n-fuzzy.

Shawn Mendes The Tour Hits Down Under
With five Australian ARIA Platinum singles, over 10 million albums sold, 100 million singles sold and more than 11 billion song streams under his belt, 21-year old Shawn Mendes is the third youngest solo artist to have three number one debut albums on the Billboard 200.
Nominated for ARIA's Best International Artist for 2019, the Canadian singer-songwriter is about to hit Aussie shores for his third solo headline tour in support of his hugely-anticipated self-titled third studio album.

Mendes will be joined by supporting Grammy Award-winning duo Dan + Shay with a special appearance from acclaimed teen-sensation Ruel in Brisbane and Auckland
This will be the first time that the TIME Most Influential Artist will perform in Adelaide, in addition to return performances in Auckland, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney in October and November 2019.

By a voice vote, the chamber adopted an amendment to the funding bill, offered by Mississippi Republican Roger Wicker, that would allow the secretary of transportation to sign off on increases to the length of tractor-trailers only after determining through a study the increase would not negatively impact public safety.
The study would need to assess the public safety benefits of extending the length of trucks allowed on federal highways from twin 28-foot trailers to twin 33s.
The vote on Wicker's amendment occurred soon after senators kicked off their consideration of the legislation that would keep transportation agencies, including trucking regulators, funded through the fiscal year. On Nov. 10, the Senate voted 56-31 to call on the negotiators of a highway reauthorization bill — different from the fiscal 2016 transportation funding bill — to delay the approval of twin 33-foot trailers nationwide. That nonbinding motion also was sponsored by Wicker.
In June, a Senate panel voted to include the provision allowing the use of twin 33s nationwide in the transportation funding bill. The House-passed version includes a similar provision.
American Trucking Associations and other industry groups strongly support approving the use of twin-33s.
"There are so many upsides to the use of twin 33s that it is inevitable this change will come to pass. Decision makers cannot continue to embrace unsafe and unproductive strategies, and expect to have this nation's freight continue to get delivered. Ultimately the economy will win this debate," said ATA president and CEO Bill Graves.
The Republican-led Senate has yet to say if it would call up other funding bills before a stop-gap government funding measure expires Dec. 11. It is likely that both chambers will consider an expansive funding bill, known as an omnibus, before the short-term funding extension expires.


If you conduct business in New Hampshire, it's crucial that you file an annual report with the Department of State each year. For most companies, the deadline is April 1.
The New Hampshire Department of State requires companies to file annual reports as a matter of compliance. When you file these documents, you will include information pertinent to your business, such as your corporate structure and your registered agent. You cannot use the annual report to make changes to your business, such as to change your business name. Annual reports are instead used to report any changes that have already occurred during the past year. Failure to file your annual report in a timely fashion could put you at risk of being dissolved by the Department of State.
We never sell your information to anyone. We only provide it to government entities when required and keep it on file so we can help you with your future annual registration needs.
If you have a partnership, you do not have to file an annual report in New Hampshire. If you run a corporation or an LLC, you must pay $100 to file an annual report by April 1 each year. Nonprofits must pay $25 to file their reports by December 31. Nonprofits only have to file a report every five years, as opposed to other companies that are required to file every year.
Forms: Call office to obtain blank form for entity or have a NH Quickstart login.
Due Date: Due December 31st every five years.
Penalty: No late fee. Nonprofit may be dissolved or revoked.
The easiest way to file an Annual Report in the state of New Hampshire is online. On the Department of State's website, you'll find a link that will bring you to a database of businesses. You can search in this database to find your company. At this point, you can enter the required information, pay your fee, and submit your report.
If you would prefer to mail your annual report to the Department of State, you can print a blank report from their website. The state of New Hampshire recommends that you type the information into the form and then print it so that there are no issues with legibility. Remember that if you mail your form to the Department of State, you still need to include your filing fee. Paying by check is the recommended method of doing so.
We offer secure, professional annual report preparation and filing services with the New Hampshire Department of State. Hire us and you'll never need to worry about missing an annual report deadline or paying hidden fees. We'll make sure your New Hampshire business is in good legal standing so you don't face penalties and the eventual threat of administrative dissolution.

There is a late penalty of $50 if you do not file your report by the deadline. However, failure to file on time could put you at risk of being dissolved.
Are There Any Initial Report Requirements for a New Business in New Hampshire?
