Minimum Wage - Minimum Wage in Papua New Guinea
Minimum Wage in Papua New Guinea
In Papua New Guinea, employers cannot pay their workers less than the government-mandated minimum wage. If they do not, they may be penalized by the government. The minimum wage is calculated on a monthly basis, based on the weekly wage multiplied by standard working hours. In other words, the minimum wage is 4.33 times the weekly wage. Whether you're working at a hotel, a restaurant, or a construction site, you're entitled to the minimum wage in Papua New Guinea.

Anker Reference Values
The Global Living Wage Coalition has recently announced new methodology to measure living wages and incomes around the world. Based on data from 40 different benchmark studies, the Anker Reference Values provide a highly reliable estimate of a country's minimum wage and income. These value estimates go beyond poverty lines and minimum wage rates to provide insight into the quality of life for people living in a particular country.
The Anker Methodology is a state-of-the-art approach to calculating living wages and other types of remuneration. The coalition is working to expand the number of country-specific living wage estimates. The coalition has published a guidance document for social standard system certification bodies to use when verifying these country-specific living wage estimates. These documents should be used in conjunction with individual standard system specifications and other national guidelines.
In Papua New Guinea, the minimum wage is government-mandated, and no worker may be paid less than this amount. The government may punish employers who fail to comply with the minimum wage. The minimum wage is 4.33 times the weekly wage and standard hours worked per week. This amount of wages per month is approximately equivalent to PGK 1,593 or US $460, depending on the sector.
Papua New Guinea's minimum wage
In Papua New Guinea, the government has established a minimum wage that no worker is permitted to earn less than. Any employer who fails to pay workers the minimum wage may be penalized by the government. The minimum wage per month is 4.33 times the weekly wage, divided by the standard number of working hours. In 2013 the minimum wage in Papua New Guinea was USD 192. In 2008, the minimum wage was USD 60.3.
Companies based in PNG are taxed on global earnings. Non-PNG-based companies only owe tax on revenues earned in PNG. Non-passive residents are subject to WHT on passive income derived from PNG. The payer of dividends, interests, or royalty payments must withhold and remit tax to the PNG Internal Revenue Commission. The rate of tax for individuals is 22 percent for taxable income up to PGK 12,500. For income between PGK 12,500 and PGK 20,000, the tax rate increases to 35 percent.
MWB's composition
In a post-colonial context, inherited institutions can express colonising values and shape post-colonial societies. In Papua New Guinea, for example, the MWB's composition is reshaping the wage fixing system and affecting the working conditions of the country's population. This article examines the evolution of the MWB in PNG and examines why it is important to have a wage board in PNG.
After PNG attained independence in 1975, it implemented an open trade policy that relied on market forces to promote industrialisation. The 1970s saw little interference from the government, with relatively low taxes on imports and international transactions. Import quotas and bans were also ineffective, with tariffs on manufacturing goods ranging from 10 to 18%. During this period, PNG's economy benefited from a boom in exports of natural resources.
MWB's wage fixing system
This article aims to examine the MWB's wage fixing system in PNG, and to provide a better understanding of how this particular institution functions within the country's post-independence labour market. In doing so, the article highlights the salient features of the institution, its purpose, membership composition, and various wage determinations. It argues that wage boards are a key factor in shaping labor policies and promoting equity among employers and workers in PNG.
The International Labour Organisation recommends that the minimum wage rate should be reviewed every year, to keep pace with inflation and the average wages in the economy. This was a practice followed by the MWB in the 1970s, but was stopped in 1992, when it was linked to the Consumer Price Index (CPI), which measures the cost of a basket of goods for a typical household in Papua New Guinea.
Regardless of what happens, the MWB is a far better alternative to the National Tripartite Council for determining the minimum wage than any other method of a national bargaining process. While the NPTC has no power to affect wages and allowances, the NPTC may not be able to do so. That's why the low-paid private sector workers can only pray for the change in PM Peter O'Neill's political leadership.
In Papua New Guinea, bonuses can range from 3 percent to 6% of the employee's annual salary. The most common types of bonuses are individual performance-based and company-based, and the amount of each differs depending on the role of the employee. In addition, goal-based bonuses are often given to employees upon reaching an important milestone. Regardless of the type of bonus, it is possible to get paid well in this country.
In Papua New Guinea, the average hourly wage is 24 PGK. This is more than enough to sustain a modest lifestyle. In a country with high unemployment rates, bonuses are particularly valuable. Bonuses at minimum wage are a way for employers to attract quality employees and retain good staff. Papua New Guinea's minimum wage is higher than average in many other countries, so if you are looking to earn more, be prepared to work hard for it.
Employee benefits are taxed differently in Papua New Guinea. While some benefits, such as stock options, are exempt from taxation, others are taxable at their full value. Employees who receive housing as a perk must take care to consider the tax implications of the housing benefits. While a company is required to pay housing benefits to their employees, it may also be advantageous to offer this benefit to employees.
PNG's Companies Act defines an overseas company, also known as a branch in other jurisdictions. Using the advice of taxation authorities, a foreign investor may incorporate a business entity in PNG. Company activities include preparation of accounts and appointment of auditors, shareholders' meetings, director's duties, and winding up. The government monitors and regulates the activities of companies.
Generally, a company based in PNG pays corporate income tax on all global earnings, while non-PNG-based companies pay tax only on their local revenues. In some instances, WHT applies to passive income earned by a non-passive resident of PNG. If it does, the payer of dividends, interest, or royalty payments must withhold and remit the applicable tax to the IRC. There are two different rates of taxation: a resident company must pay 30% tax on its taxable income up to PGK 12,500, and a non-resident company must pay 48 percent. In some cases, the rates are higher if the company is engaged in mining, petroleum, or gas operations.
The government offers incentives for a business to establish in the country, and they can benefit from tax exemptions. Those firms that employ more than 100 workers are eligible for tax breaks. In addition, pioneer industries are exempt from company income tax. Companies can also apply for an export incentive if they produce new manufactured goods. This tax incentive helps local businesses compete with foreign companies in the overseas market.

Test Report: Samsung UN55EH6000 LCD HDTV
Geoffrey Morrison | Oct 16, 2012 | 0 comments
Instead of starting this review by listing the features that Samsung put into its UN55EH6000 LCD TV, I'm going to start with what it doesn't have. There's no 3D. There are no Smart TV features. It's not wafer-thin. It doesn't even have an edge-lit LED back- light (though its "direct-lit" backlight does use LEDs). In other words, it lacks all the latest features found in most modern LCDs.
Sony KDL-55HX850 3D LCD HDTV
Thomas J. Norton | Sep 28, 2012 | 4 comments
Price: $2,600 At A Glance: Deep, uniform blacks • Superb out-of-the-box color and crisp detail • Head-tilt 3D crosstalk
The most popular, current approach to designing an LCD HDTV with LED lighting is to position the LEDs around the periphery of the screen and rely on diffusors to spread the light out uniformly. Sometimes (but not always) the brightness of the LEDs is also altered dynamically to help the LCD pixels create deep blacks, where needed.
Test Report: Sony KDL-55HX850 3D LCD TV
Al Griffin | Sep 18, 2012 | 0 comments
When I tested Sony's flagship XBR-55HX929 TV for our November 2011 issue, I called it out as having "the best-looking picture I've seen from an LCD TV in a long time." Jump forward a few months, and I'm attending a demonstration at Sony's HQ. During the demo, Sony put its flagship XBR, a model with a full-array LED backlight, up against a group of other TVs, including the company's new edge-lit HX85 Series set. If you follow our reviews, you'll know that LCDs with edge-lit LED backlights typically don't fare well, mostly due to screen uniformity issues. However, the HX85 set in Sony's shootout not only smoked the competition but was about on par with the company's XBR model. Naturally, I was eager to get my hands on one.
Price: $3,600 At A Glance: Superb detail, accurate color • Two- and 20-step calibration controls • Magic Remote tedious to use • Disappointing black level
The pick of the litter in today's LCD HDTV designs is full LED backlighting with local dimming. Such sets first appeared in 2008, but the process of positioning clusters of LEDs behind the screen was, and is, expensive. While LCD sets with LED lighting have now become ubiquitous, most of them use edge lighting (sometimes with a limited form of dynamic dimming, sometimes without) in which a smaller number of LEDs are located at the borders of the screen. This both keeps the price down and enables slender, more stylish sets.
Sharp LC-90LE745U 3D LCD HDTV
Price: $11,000 At A Glance: Big, beautiful picture • Excellent setup controls • Serious 3D crosstalk
Editor's Note: It's with great pleasure that Home Theater brings you this exclusive first review of Sharp's new ground-breaking LC-90LE745U HDTV. With this 90-inch set, the first at its size truly intended for mass production, Sharp begins the era of projection-size flat panels suitable for any light environment. While the $10,000 (street) ticket price still exceeds the cost of a high quality 2D/3D projector and screen, as a sign of what's to come, it is a significant introduction. And, as you'll read in Tom Norton's detailed review, not a bad TV. - Rob Sabin
Ninety inches diagonal is not all that big as projection screens go. But Sharp's new LC-90LE745U, at that same 90 inches, is immense by flat panel standards. With more than twice the screen area of a 65inch set, it has little flat panel competition for its size, and none at all for its combination of size and cost. Panasonic has an 85inch plasma, for example, that will set you back nearly twice as much. LG showed a 4K 80-inch LCD set at last January's CES, but exact pricing and availability is still undetermined. Mitsubishi offers a 92-inch rear-projection set at some remarkable street prices (around $3,000), but its massive 194 pounds and 25-inch depth (225 pounds and 32 inches in its shipping carton) might be just a little intimidating.

I love big screens. Really big screens. 60 inches? Pshhh. 65? Ha! 70? In a pinch. 80? Okay, wow, now that's a seriously big TV. A monolith of a height and breadth that brings to mind projection screens of yore. Wait, forget "yore." It's closing in on projection screens now.
SunBriteTV Model 4660HD Outdoor LCD HDTV
Darryl Wilkinson | Jul 05, 2012 | 2 comments
Price: $2,795 At A Glance: Built-in multifan airflow cooling system • Discrete IR input • Watertight cable entry compartment cover
A number of years ago, I wrote an article about putting together a backyard home theater using an inflatable front-projection screen from Sima. It was a blast—and more than just a blast of air from the pump that inflated the Michelin-Man-dream-date, 72-inch-screen-covered blimp in less than 6 minutes. I took the setup to a friend's house one Saturday during my "research" where we had a three-family movie night on the patio in his backyard. Sodas and margaritas flowed freely that evening. Much popcorn was popped. I don't think any of us remember the actual movie, but to this day none of us has forgotten how much fun we had—more fun, as a matter of fact, than we'd ever had watching a movie the proper way inside the house.
Test Report: LG 55LM7600 3D LCD HDTV
Geoffrey Morrison | Jun 05, 2012 | 0 comments
Manufacturers are finally making a big push to position the TV as the central hub it was always meant to be. Case in point: LG. Not only does its 55LM7600 feature the company's excellent Smart TV interface, but it also has a Web browser, multiple USB inputs to attach flash or hard drives, and more. This 55-inch set represents TV/computer convergence driven from the TV side, complete with a gorgeous, computer-style icon-based interface and a "Magic Remote" that works like a wireless mouse.
Samsung UN40EH6000 LED-LCD TV
Price: $850 At A Glance: Superb detail & color • LED-array backlighting eliminates uneven illumination • LEDs turn off momentarily in some dark scenes
In my quest to find good-performing flat panels under $1000, I was eager to try the Samsung UN40EH6000. The company's entry-level EH-series LED-LCD TVs are available in several lines, of which the EH6000 is top of the heap, and each line includes several sizes, ranging from 26 to 65 inches. (Not all sizes are available in all lines.) At 40 inches, the model reviewed here is the smallest of the EH6000 line.
Vizio M3D650SV 3D LED-LCD TV
Price: $2,200 At A Glance: Excellent 2D and 3D performance • Inexpensive, lightweight, passive 3D glasses • Poor ergonomics
When Tom Norton reviewed the 65-inch Vizio XVT3D650SV 3D LED-edgelit LCD TV last year (see review here), he found it to be an excellent performer in most respects. However, its list price of $3,700 kept many potential buyers away—and, along with the few problems he did find, kept him from bestowing HT's Top Picks designation.
Toshiba 55TL515U 3D LCD HDTV
Price: $1,800 At A Glance: Crisp resolution • Bright 3D • So-so black level • Poor screen uniformity
The last three flat-panel HDTVs reviewed in these pages averaged over $4,000 each—a figure inflated, to be sure, by one of them costing $6,000. Statement products tell us what's possible and where the technology is going. Most Home Theater readers want to know these things.
Test Report: Sharp Elite PRO-60X5FD 3D LCD HDTV
I won't assume that everyone will know what I'm talking about when I drop the word "Kuro," but longtime Sound+Vision readers may recall a line of high-end, and accordingly high-priced, Pioneer Elite plasma TVs that we heaped praise upon back in the day.
Review: Panasonic TC-L42D30 LCD HDTV
Much of the R&D effort for Panasonic's TVs gets funneled into plasma technology — with excellent results. (Check out the TC-P55VT30 in our Editors' Choice Awards here.) But as we found out this time last year upon reviewing the company's TC-L42D2, it also makes sets of the LCD persuasion. Quite a few of them, in fact.

Cutting Loose: Connected TV for Everybody
Michael Berk | Dec 14, 2011 | 0 comments
Cable cutting. You've probably begun the process already, even if you haven't gone all the way - think about how often you turn to Netflix, or Amazon, or Hulu Plus. And despite the panicked efforts of networks and providers nationwide, when are you watching live TV, exactly, aside from sports?
Sharp Elite PRO-60X5FD 3D LED LCD HDTV
Thomas J. Norton | Nov 09, 2011 | 35 comments
Editor's Note: Home Theater is pleased to bring you this exclusive first look at Sharp's groundbreaking Elite LCD HDTV. As you'll read in Tom Norton's superb and thorough review, it is the first LCD that can truly go head-to-head with the now-discontinued Pioneer Elite Kuro plasmas for the title of Best TV Ever. Enjoy, and please post your comments.—Rob Sabin
Price: $6,000 At A Glance: Class-leading blacks and shadow detail • Superb resolution • Bright, vivid 3D
When Pioneer announced it was dropping out of the HDTV business in 2009 (its remaining sets were available on a limited basis until early 2010), the video world shuddered. While there were sets at the time that could at least match Pioneer's Elite-branded Kuro models with respect to color, resolution, and video processing, most independent observers—and most A/V reviewers—agreed that no other sets could equal the Pioneers' black level. But in an era of dropping flat-panel prices, Pioneer couldn't hope to match the competition's stickers while retaining the quality it was known for, and they succumbed to market forces.

Hey everyone, I think this is going to be our biggest team update as of yet. Not posting for a while, and a lot of very recent events kind of equal a massive post.
Secondly, Nick used the money from the Legend to buy an Black to Pink fade Alias. The marker is 5|_|P3R agg.
Thirdly! Nick signed up himself, John, and Ein to play at Unlimited rookie tournament on their last day. We played hard, and Rob said we played very well. We got into the championship, but lost to Schupperts 'Team America". Congratulations on your win Schuppert! 😀 We placed second over all, and Rob's sure with some intense practices, we'll get better and might win some tournaments. This was a great experience overall, and we hope to do it many more times.
By the way, Rob is our coach. Rob's been a great friend to me and everyone else, especially after I first got to play with him way back in February of this year. Rob has been extremely kind to us, and we're so glad he's onboard with the team.
I'll get to updating, editing, and posting more. Until whenever we post again, Team Lineage.
Heh, wasn't as massive as I thought.

Top News Stories of the Week in Hoboken + Jersey City {April 1, 2018}
Written by: Nicole
Posted on April 1, 2018	in Events + News, News
You are here: Home Events + News Top News Stories of the Week in Hoboken + Jersey City {April 1, 2018}
…APRIL FOOLS!
Happy Sunday, Happy Easter, and Happy April Fools, Hoboken and Jersey City! If you've been on our social media this morning, unfortunately and fortunately NONE of the stuff listed on it is true {Washington Street will not be done by next week, sowwy}. But, we've got a bunch of real news to share this week — two new rooftop bars are opening in JC, NJ police are cracking down on texting and driving, Jaret's Stuffed Cupcakes has closed for good, and a lot more. We hope you enjoyed our April Fool's teaser — but here are your REAL top news stories of the week.
Jaret's Stuffed Cupcakes Closed Permanently
Jaret's Stuffed Cupcakes has officially closed their three New Jersey locations including Hoboken. The bakery, which opened in 2008, was best for known their decadent desserts in flavors such as Cannoli Eclipse and Banana Blast. Jaret's owner Maureen posted a note to customers on their front door, stating that she felt she could no longer keep up with the business following the passing of her life and business partner Keith, who she cited as the "master of cooking and baking and all things creative." Jaret's will be fulfilling any outstanding orders and customers can expect to receive a call with pick-up instructions in the coming weeks. Best of luck to Maureen in her next endeavor and our deepest condolences at this difficult time.
Cascade Cafe Opening Soon in Hoboken
PATH commuters in Hoboken will soon have another spot for breakfast before heading out on the morning commute. Cascade Cafe is set to open directly across from the Hoboken station sometime this spring. According to their advertisement, the cafe will be serving coffee, juices, smoothies, sandwiches, salads, and a variety of grab-and-go options.
Hefty Fines in Store for Those Caught Texting While Driving
According to NJ.com, police officers across New Jersey will be targeting drivers who text and drive as part of a national campaign. The "U Drive. U Text. U Pay" campaign starts today and will run through April 21st. The Attorney General's office stated that fines of $200 – $400 for a first offense and an $800 fine and three insurance point penalty can be expected for subsequent violations. This is the fourth year that law enforcement has participated in the campaign. In 2017, citations for 15,000 summonses for cell phone use or texting and 7,000 for careless driving were recorded. Besides the fear of getting fined, just DON'T text and drive.
NJ Could be Landing Spot for Chinese Space Station Plummeting Towards Earth
An analysis by the non-profit Aerospace Corporation shows that the Tiangong-1, a 9.4 ton Chinese space station, is set to reenter Earth's atmosphere this week, reports NJ.com.

The Aerospace Corporation stated, "Our scientists calculate odds of you being hit by Tiangong-1 debris are ~1mil times smaller than odds of winning Powerball jackpot – even if you live in 'high risk' areas." That being said, there are toxic and corrosive substance on board the spacecraft that could survive reentry, so take caution if you see something odd in your neighborhood.

Shared Vision – Opportunity Provided By American Energy
state of american energy oil and natural gas production economic growth jobs us energy security crude oil exports
There are many ways to gauge the current strength of American energy. The U.S. is producing nearly twice as much oil as it did less than a decade ago, which, combined with natural gas output, has made America the world's leading producer.
Yet, the real-world impact of America's energy revolution offers a more meaningful picture. New tensions are roiling the Middle East, yet global crude markets have remained relatively calm – unimaginable a few years ago. Meanwhile, a tanker carrying U.S. crude oil left port headed for Europe – the first since the lifting of America's 40-year-old ban on domestic exports. There's the reach of our energy revolution.
In his State of American Energy remarks, API President and CEO Jack Gerard focused on the growth of U.S. energy and its benefits – and also the opportunity to sustain them with sound energy policies based on facts and science.
Energy Policy Year in Review
offshore access economic growth energy poicy hydraullic fracturing oil and natural gas production jobs keystone xl pipeline ozone regulations
Jack Gerard
2015 ends on a high note for U.S. energy policy as Congress voted to repeal the obsolete, '70s-era ban on crude exports. Dozens of studies agree that lifting the restrictions will put downward pressure on gas prices, reduce the trade deficit, and provide a boost to economic growth and U.S. energy production.
Throughout the year, our status as the world's leading producer of oil and natural gas continued to provide savings to American families and businesses while significantly enhancing our energy security. A review of the year's energy developments shows how the American energy renaissance is paying off for consumers while also demonstrating that policymakers have some work to do in 2016.
Lifting Oil Export Ban a Win for Economy, Security
crude oil exports economic growth oil production jobs us energy security
Almost exactly 40 years after it was instated, the ban on crude exports has been lifted. A relic of '70s-era energy scarcity, the ban makes no sense now that the United States leads the world in oil and natural gas production. Numerous studies have found that lifting the ban will help put downward pressure on gas prices, create jobs, grow our economy and lower our trade deficit.
Lifting the ban is also a security win for the U.S. and our allies. With the administration's push to allow Iran to export its oil to the global market, it's time for U.S. producers to have the same opportunity. Our allies around the world are eager to reduce their reliance on energy from less friendly nations.
State Benefits From Lifting Oil Export Ban
crude oil exports economic growth gdp jobs
The economy-wide arguments in favor of lifting America's 40-year-old ban on crude oil exports are detailed in a number of recent studies. Some of ICF International's numbers: up to 300,000 additional jobs in 2020 when crude exports are allowed; up to a $38 billion increase in U.S. GDP in 2020; $5.8 billion in estimated reduced consumer fuel costs per year, on average, 2015-2035; $15 billion to $70 billion of additional investments in U.S. exploration, development and production, 2015-2020; and a $13.5 billion increase in federal, state and local tax receipts attributable to GDP increases from expanding crude oil exports in 2020.
The economic boost is state and local as well. A study of the state-by-state impacts of lifting the crude oil export ban by ICF and EnSys Energy shows the economies in nearly every state would receive a boost in 2020, with nine state's economies increasing by more than $1 billion. In addition, 18 states would gain more than 5,000 jobs each in 2020, according to the study.
The Oil Exports Conversation
crude oil exports domestic oil production security economic growth jobs
t's good that Congress appears to be talking seriously about ending the United States' four-decades-old ban on crude oil exports. Reports say Democrats and Republicans are discussing a deal that would include lifting the export ban – though it's unclear what a specific deal would look like. "We need to have a conversation" about oil exports, Senate Minority Whip Dick Durbin told Politico. "We need to have a fair negotiation."
Of course, we've been having a conversation about the merits of lifting the exports ban for some time. And it starts with this: Every major study on the issue has found that exporting U.S. crude oil would be good for America and Americans. The benefits range from those to consumers, to the economy, to American security to domestic energy production. According to the research, ending the outdated ban would positively impact all of the above.
U.S. Energy Exports and Market Engagement
crude oil exports energy markets domestic energy production economic growth jobs trade lng exports
Interesting analysis on energy independence in the Wall Street Journal by Columbia University's Jason Bordoff, a former energy adviser to President Obama. It's a good thing the United States isn't energy independent, Bordoff writes. That'll get your attention, right?
As Bordoff explains, "energy independence" is a dusty concept from the 1970s and 80s, after policymakers made it a goal to end U.S. reliance on global crude suppliers after the 1973 oil embargo. It didn't happen. To the contrary, U.S. imports steadily climbed in the 1990s and 2000s before the significant increases in domestic production, thanks to abundant American shale energy reserves and advanced hydraulic fracturing.
Now, with U.S. energy output surging, the inclination among some is to keep that energy here at home by maintaining the 1970s-era ban on crude oil exports, believing that it lessens others' ability to disrupt our oil supplies. But Bordoff writes that an "isolationist" approach on energy misunderstands the reality that today's global energy market is highly integrated and that the interconnectedness of the market has helped the U.S. compensate for supply disruptions here at home and overseas. "Free trade in a highly integrated global energy market made us more secure," he writes.
The Perception Deception on Keystone XL
keystone xl pipelines president obama climate jobs economic growth security canada
It's too bad that when President Obama finally announced his decision on the Keystone XL pipeline, he turned his back on American jobs, economic growth and increased energy security – each of them compelling, "national interest" reasons for building the pipeline. Also unfortunate is that the president also turned his back on science and fact.
Read the State Department's final word on Keystone XL, and you see that State, as it said in its previous environmental reviews, acknowledges that the pipeline would have little to no climate impact.
The Keystone XL rejection was about perceptions and appearances – perceptions the president and his administration created, detached from science and fact set forth in State's analysis, to help cultivate the appearances of climate change leadership.
Throughout Keystone XL's tortuous, seven-year slog at the White House, the pipeline – this pipeline – was a symbol, a foil the administration used to help keep the professional activist class activated and the world climate community applauding.
President Rejects Keystone XL, America Loses
keystone xl pipeline president obama jobs economic growth canadian oil sands security labor
With President Obama's unfortunate decision to reject the Keystone XL pipeline, look for a number of reports and analyses advancing the notion that the president's decision is a "stunning defeat" for our industry, Canada and members of Congress who support the project. We disagree.
Canadian oil sands development that Keystone XL would have helped facilitate will continue. As an IHS study detailed earlier this year, oil sands production is critically important to North American supply and U.S. security, and it will go on – as will efforts to get Keystone XL off the drawing board, built and operating – creating jobs and increasing energy security.
The real defeat in the president's decision has been inflicted on the American people. It's their present and future that have been dealt a severe blow by a White House that ultimately valued out-of-the-mainstream political interests over the national interest.
Oil Exports and America's New Era of Energy Opportunity
crude oil exports oil production security refinieries consumer products economic growth jobs
When the Energy Policy and Conservation Act was signed into law by President Gerald Ford in 1975, Ford said it would put the United States "solidly on the road to energy independence." The legislation included a ban on most exports of domestically produced crude oil. For many, shutting in domestic oil production – effectively self-sanctioning a vital U.S. industrial sector from the global marketplace – seemed like a good idea. At the time.
The country had been roiled by an oil embargo imposed by exporting states in response to U.S. support for Israel during the 1973 Yom Kippur War. Americans learned the meaning of oil shock – long lines for gasoline, odd/even day rationing schedules, shortages and rising prices. The Federal Reserve's Michael Corbett writes that the embargo nearly quadrupled the price of a barrel of oil to $11.65 – quaintly low in 2015 dollars, but economically crippling four decades ago.
The 'Us vs. Them' Fallacy on Oil Exports
crude oil exports oil and natural gas production security economic growth jobs
Lacking factual, substantial reasons for keeping the United States' antiquated ban on crude oil exports, those who oppose letting U.S. crude reach the global marketplace are left to make a non-factual, unsubstantial case instead.
In a letter to the editor in the New York Times, the Sierra Club's Michael Brune offers up a couple of scary fictions – in time for Halloween – to distract Americans from the stark, "off oil" agenda that Brune and many others advocate: a harsher, less healthy, less hospitable world minus the reliable, affordable fuels that are fundamental to modern living.
API President and CEO Jack Gerard recently called them out for the false choice that's central to their advocacy:
"There is a vocal minority who believe that instead of growing our economy to lift people out of poverty we should reduce our current standard of living and cap our potential. We reject this notion and encourage policy makers to continue down the path we have shown to work, supplying abundant, affordable, and reliable energy to consumers while lowering our impact on the environment."

Governor Murphy Signs Executive Order Waiving Student Assessment Requirements for 2019-2020 School Year
TRENTON – Governor Phil Murphy today signed Executive Order No. 117, which waives 2019-2020 statutory school year assessment requirements for eighth grade students and twelfth grade students who have not yet met the graduation assessment requirement due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.
"As a state, we must continue to adapt to the new reality that COVID-19 has created in our state, a task that our students and educators are navigating every day," said Governor Murphy. "The waiver of these student assessment requirements will ensure that no student is left behind or unduly penalized due to these extraordinary circumstances."
The executive order waives the graduation assessment requirement for twelfth grade students who have not yet met the assessment requirement and planned to submit a portfolio appeal. These students no longer have to submit such an appeal in order to graduate. Approximately 13,000 students were expected to submit portfolio appeals this year.
The order also waives the statutory requirement that a statewide assessment be administered to all eighth-grade students to assess progress toward mastery of graduation proficiency standards. Additionally, the order prohibits the use of student growth data as an evaluation tool for educators and waives the statutory requirement of three observations and evaluations for all non-tenured teaching staff for the 2019-2020 school year.
"Governor Murphy's action establishes a rational, responsible and fair approach to eliminate disruptions faced by school students and staff," said Education Commissioner Lamont O. Repollet. "By clearing the pathway of obstacles, it allows schools to maintain their focus on providing critical education services to students."
Executive Order No. 117follows the federal government's waiver on March 24, 2020 of a federal requirement that New Jersey administer annual statewide assessments. After the federal waiver was granted, Governor Murphy announced that all statewide assessments in New Jersey would be cancelled for the 2020 spring testing window.
The Order shall take effect immediately.

Cocaine Anonymous is now in Greensboro, North Carolina.
An anonymous friend of mine has asked me to report on this big change to the Greensboro 12-Step recovery community.
CA is now in Greensboro, North Carolina, for the first time.
Starting two days ago, there is now a Cocaine Anonymous (CA) 12 Step meeting in Greensboro. The name of the meeting is Cocanuts East. It is held every Thursday night, from 7:30 - 8:30, at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church at 607 N. Greene Street, north of Downtown. It is an open meeting of Cocaine Anonymous. All are welcome, addicts and alcoholics alike. Please enter the church at the western lobby door, and then take the stairs or the elevator to the top (3rd) floor. The meeting is in a room at the top of the stairs.
CA is not a drug-specific program, even though it may sound like it from its name. CA members are free from cocaine and all other mind-altering substances, including alcohol and marijuana. They use the Big Book and the 12 and 12 of Alcoholics Anonymous, with AA's permission, as their guides to recovery.
Again, my friend says all are welcome. As Cocaine Anonymous' slogan says: "We're here and we're free."
For more information, call 520-343-5596. My anonymous friend appreciates it.

While it would be nice to suggest that we all become trained EMTs, the reality is that a good start is to become trained in basic first aid.
Learn how to provide immediate care in cardiac, breathing and first aid emergencies until advanced medical personnel arrive.
Encourage your employer to get the training for all hands at your work place.
Have first aid kits in your home and in all of your cars. Take one with you when out on adventures.
Go on, get moving. You may never need the training, but if you ever do, you be very glad you had it.


the breeze carries me along beating my head against the trees - Wisdom is the retention of innocence through adversity.
What a complete farce human existence is.
We should just freeze ourselves or become computers.
I don't want to be frozen or be a computer!
I'm sorry but you must. I know what's best. I am a doomsday cult. You must all follow me.
I think I understand now. I was beginning to wonder about you...where you were...why you didn't answer any of my comments...but it seems you are in a down. I wish I could help. I sure the hell know what it's like to be there. I wish you had Yahoo Messenger too, cause then we could chat there.
I'm not down - I was just being silly instead of writing anything. But thanks for thinking of me. I've been busy with other things - and spending more time on MySpace & AIM. I'm not consistent in how I respond to comments. I'm fixing my email so it will be easier to find and respond to past comments. Thanks again, and sorry 'bout that.
Weeeeelll...if you spent some time on Yahoo Messenger we'd be able to talk more often. (hint hint hint...) :D Then I wouldn't mistake your goofy moods for being down in the dumps.
'Ello there! I got a comment from you in my LJ and thought "Crap, who's stalking me now...wait, she likes some of the things I do! Yay!" I'm weird like that, thank you.
Okay, something relevent to this post now lol. I don't think we should all freeze or become computers. Acutally, I think we should just kill off all the stupid humans. Then the smart ones can create an ideal world.
Hey - thanks for the add! Most of my friends LJ friends are girls and a lot are by - and they're all sweet and fun. And I have the brain of a female. But I'm a guy. And everyone loves me except for the ones who don't.
I had another friend who was so into jpop, anime, etc., that no one else understood her. There's so much of it it frightens me but very interesting and cool.
Yes - stupid humans must die! We'll save everyone on LJ cuz they proved they are smart!
Crap...I'm becoming gender blind. -_- Stupid beautiful cross dressing visual kei bands! Sorry about that, I'll be good from now on. Feel free to stick me with a ninjar spork.
ha ha ha! - Oh - I stayed away from MySpace forever - but now I think it's not too bad - easy to make brief comments there. So now you can stick me with a spork.
I always wanted to become a computer!


Guy Reginald Bolton (23 November 1884 – 4 September 1979) was an Anglo-American playwright and writer of musical comedies. Born in England and educated in France and the US, he trained as an architect but turned to writing. Bolton preferred working in collaboration with others, principally the English writers P. G. Wodehouse and Fred Thompson, with whom he wrote 21 and 14 shows respectively, and the American playwright George Middleton, with whom he wrote ten shows. Among his other collaborators in Britain were George Grossmith Jr., Ian Hay and Weston and Lee. In the US, he worked with George and Ira Gershwin, Kalmar and Ruby and Oscar Hammerstein II.
Bolton is best known for his early work on the Princess Theatre musicals during the First World War with Wodehouse and the composer Jerome Kern. These shows moved the American musical away from the traditions of European operetta to small scale, intimate productions with what the Oxford Encyclopedia of Popular Music calls, "smart and witty integrated books and lyrics, considered to be a watershed in the evolution of the American musical." Among his 50 plays and musicals, most of which were considered "frothy confections", additional hits included Primrose (1924), the Gershwins' Lady, Be Good (1925) and especially Cole Porter's Anything Goes (1935).
Bolton also wrote stage adaptations of novels by Henry James and Somerset Maugham, and wrote three novels on his own and a fourth in collaboration with Bernard Newman. He worked on screenplays for such films as Ambassador Bill (1931) and Easter Parade (1948), and published four novels, Flowers for the Living (with Bernard Newman, 1958), The Olympians (1961), The Enchantress (1964) and Gracious Living (1966). With Wodehouse, he wrote a joint memoir of their Broadway years, entitled Bring on the Girls! (1953).
Bolton was born in Broxbourne, Hertfordshire, the elder son of an American engineer, Reginald Pelham Bolton, and his wife Kate (née Behenna). His younger brother, Jamie, died young, leaving Guy and his older sister Ivy. The family moved to the US, settling in New York City's Washington Heights. Bolton studied to be an architect, attending the Pratt Institute School of Architecture and Atelier Masqueray, New York. He also studied at the École des Beaux-Arts, Paris.
Bolton made early progress in his profession, engaged by the government for special work on the rebuilding of the United States Military Academy at West Point, and helping to design the Soldiers' and Sailors' Monument and the Ansonia Hotel on the Upper West Side of Manhattan, New York City, but was drawn to writing.
While Bolton was still a student, his stories had been published in magazines. At the age of 26, he wrote his first stage play, The Drone, in collaboration with Douglas J. Wood. His second play, The Rule of Three (1914), was written without a partner, but the following year he embarked on his first musical theatre collaboration, Ninety in the Shade, with music by Jerome Kern, lyrics by Harry B. Smith and book by Bolton, first produced at the Knickerbocker Theatre, New York, on 25 January 1915. The same year, he wrote Hit-the-Trail-Holiday with George M. Cohan. That same year he collaborated with Kern and others on the musicals Nobody Home and the even more successful Very Good Eddie, the first two "Princess Theatre musicals". The latter of the two was also a hit in London.
Bolton quickly became known for his part in moving the American musical away from the European operetta tradition: "No more crown princes masquerading as butlers, no more milkmaids who turn out at the final curtain to be heir to several thrones." Nevertheless, he collaborated with one of operetta's last practitioners, Emmerich Kálmán, in an adaptation of Kálmán's 1915 piece Zsuzsi Kisassony. Miss Springtime, as the American version was called, was produced at the New Amsterdam Theatre in 1916. Bolton wrote the book; the lyrics were by Herbert Reynolds and P. G. Wodehouse, the latter writing with Bolton for the first time in what became a lifelong working partnership and personal friendship. Kern, who already knew Wodehouse, introduced him to Bolton at the premiere of Very Good Eddie. Wodehouse admired Bolton's stagecraft, but thought his lyrics weak, and at Kern's urging they decided to write jointly, Wodehouse concentrating on the lyrics and Bolton on the book.
Bolton and Wodehouse and Kern.
Well, Bolton and Wodehouse and Kern have done it again. Every time these three gather together, the Princess Theatre is sold out for months in advance. You can get a seat for Oh, Lady! Lady!! somewhere around the middle of August for just about the price of one on the stock exchange. If you ask me, I will look you fearlessly in the eye and tell you in low, throbbing tones that it has it over any other musical comedy in town. But then Bolton and Wodehouse and Kern are my favorite indoor sport. I like the way they go about a musical comedy. ... I like the way the action slides casually into the songs. ... I like the deft rhyming of the song that is always sung in the last act by two comedians and a comedienne. And oh, how I do like Jerome Kern's music. And all these things are even more so in Oh, Lady! Lady!! than they were in Oh, Boy!
Bolton went on to write more than fifty stage works, mainly in collaboration with others. Besides Wodehouse, his frequent writing partners were the American, George Middleton, with whom he wrote ten shows, and the Englishman, Fred Thompson, with whom he wrote fourteen. His collaborations with Middleton were non-musical comic plays, produced with success on both sides of the Atlantic. Their Polly with a Past (1917) was a success in both New York and London, where its cast included Edna Best, Noël Coward, Edith Evans, Claude Rains and C. Aubrey Smith. Their Adam and Eva was another favourite that was adapted for film and frequently revived by smaller theatres. With Thompson, he wrote the book for early musicals by George and Ira Gershwin, Lady, Be Good (1925) and Tip-Toes (1926). With the Gershwins and Wodehouse, he wrote Oh, Kay! (1926). Among his other collaborators in Britain were George Grossmith Jr., with whom he worked on Primrose (1924), Ian Hay with whom he co-wrote A Song of Sixpence (1930) and Weston and Lee, who joined him for Give Me a Ring (1933). In the US, he worked with Oscar Hammerstein II on Daffy Dill (1922), and with Kalmar and Ruby on The Ramblers (1926) and She's My Baby (1927). An occasional collaborator in later years was "Stephen Powys", a pseudonym of Bolton's third wife, Virginia. Girl Crazy (1930) was a musical, with songs by the Gershwins, starring Ginger Rogers and featuring the debut of Ethel Merman. It was later adapted by Ken Ludwig as the sensation Crazy for You.
During the 1920s and 30s "Bolton worked at a tremendous rate on shows … beautifully constructed, and full of fun and excruciating puns." When the Gershwins began to take a more serious tone, with Of Thee I Sing, Bolton persisted with his "frothy confections" for other composers. He moved to London, where he wrote (or co-wrote, generally with Thompson and sometimes also with Douglas Furber) the book for "a series of highly successful romps" starring London's leading music comedy performers such as Jack Buchanan, Leslie Henson, Bobby Howes, Evelyn Laye and Elsie Randolph, in shows including Song of the Drum (1931), Seeing Stars (1935), At the Silver Swan (1936), This'll Make You Whistle (1935; film version 1936), Swing Along (1936), Going Places (1936), Going Greek (1937), Hide and Seek (1937), The Fleet's Lit Up (1938), Running Riot (1938), Bobby Get Your Gun (1938) and Magyar Melody (1939).
Although Bolton worked mostly in the West End in the 1930s, his biggest hit of the decade began on Broadway, a collaboration with his old friend Wodehouse, who had by then largely abandoned the theatre for novel-writing. When Bolton approached him to co-write the book for Cole Porter's Anything Goes (1935), Wodehouse objected, "Cole does his own lyrics ... What pests these lyric-writing composers are! Taking the bread out of a man's mouth". Still, he agreed to join Bolton in writing the book. The show was, in the words of the Oxford Encyclopedia of Popular Music, "a smash hit" in New York and in London.
Bolton returned to the US during the Second World War to write the librettos for Walk With Music, Hold On to Your Hats, Jackpot (with several contributors) and Follow the Girls (with Eddie Davis). Bolton's screen credits include The Love Parade (1929), Ambassador Bill (1931), Waltzes from Vienna (1934), The Murder Man (1935), Angel (1937), Week-End at the Waldorf (1945), Ziegfeld Follies (1945), Till the Clouds Roll By (1946), Easter Parade (1948) and the German adaptation of his play Adorable Julia (1962). His last book for Broadway was Anya, a 1967 adaptation of Marcelle Maurette's 1952 play, and the 1956 film, Anastasia.
With Wodehouse, Bolton wrote the semi-autobiographical book Bring on the Girls!, subtitled, "The Improbable Story of Our Life in Musical Comedy" (1954). It is full of anecdotes about the larger-than-life characters who dominated Broadway between 1915 and 1930, but the biographer Frances Donaldson writes that it is to be read as entertainment rather than reliable history: "Guy, having once invented an anecdote, told it so often that it was impossible to know whether in the end he believed it or not." Other collaborations between the two writers were not acknowledged on title pages or in programmes, but were plays by one turned into novels by the other, or vice versa. Bolton's play, Come On, Jeeves centred on one of Wodehouse's best-known characters; Wodehouse later adapted the play as the novel Ring for Jeeves. Wodehouse's novels French Leave, The Small Bachelor and others were adapted from plots by Bolton.
In his later years, Bolton wrote four novels, Flowers for the Living (with Bernard Newman, 1958), The Olympians (1961), The Enchantress (1964) and Gracious Living (1966). The Times thought his later non-musical stage work notable, including adaptations of works by Somerset Maugham and Sacha Guitry, and his biographical play The Shelley Story (1947). Another of Bolton's more serious stage works was Child of Fortune (1956), an adaptation of Henry James's The Wings of the Dove.
Bolton was "a dapper ladies' man, who, having divorced his first wife, became ensnared in a succession of entanglements with chorus girls and singers." He was married four times. With his first wife, Julia, née Currey, whom he married in 1908, he had one son, Richard M. Bolton (1909–1965) and one daughter, Katherine Louisa "Joan" Bolton (1911–1967). With his second wife, opera singer Marguerite Namara, to whom he was married from 1917 to 1926, he had a daughter, Marguerite Pamela "Peggy" Bolton (1916–2003), who was his only child to outlive him. His third wife was a chorus girl, Marion Redford, whom he married in 1926. Redford had already given birth to Bolton's son, Guy Bolton Jr., known as "Guybo" (1925–1961) before his divorce from Namara. Bolton and Redford divorced in 1932. There were no children of his fourth marriage, to the playwright Virginia de Lanty. This marriage lasted from 1939 until her death in 1979.
Although born of American parents, Bolton was a British subject until 1956, when he took American citizenship. His roots were not deep in any country: like his father, he had a lifelong taste for travelling, and he settled from time to time in European towns and cities including London, but never Paris, which he loathed. His main residences were on Long Island, New York, including Great Neck (at the time of the Princess Theatre shows), and Remsenburg, where he and his wife lived in the years after the Second World War. In 1952, Wodehouse and his wife bought a house two miles away, and for the rest of Wodehouse's life, he and Bolton would go for a daily walk when the latter was not travelling abroad.
Bolton died in London in 1979, at the age of 94.

We believe in the one true and living God, the creator and sustainer of all things. He is infinite, eternal, unchangeable, and is revealed to us as Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. The Father is the head of the Godhead, and into His hands the kingdom shall be delivered. The Son is the promised Messiah of the Old Testament, Jesus Christ, who was born of the Virgin Mary, hence the God-Man. He died on the cross to redeem man, rose again from the dead to justify the believer, ascended to the right hand of God where He intercedes for us, and in the Father's own time will return in visible, personal form to overthrow sin and judge the world. The Holy Spirit is the one sent from God to convict the world of sin, of righteousness, of judgment, to regenerate and cleanse from sin. He is the resident guide, teacher, and strengthener of the believer.
We believe that man was created innocent, that he was tempted by Satan and sinned; because of this men have been born in sin since that time and are by nature the children of wrath. We believe that Satan is a personal devil who with his angels carries on the work of iniquity in this world. Sin is basically rebellion against God, and the end of sin is eternal separation from God.
We believe that Jesus Christ is the only Savior from sin. He atoned for our sins on the cross and rose again for our justification. Apart from Jesus Christ there is no salvation. All men are under condemnation through personal sin, and escape from condemnation comes only through the righteousness of Jesus Christ. This righteousness is imputed to the believer by grace through faith. The Holy Spirit regenerates the one who makes the life commitment to Jesus, and the life begun in regeneration is never lost.
We believe that a New Testament church is a voluntary association of baptized believers in Christ who have covenanted together to follow the teachings of the New Testament in doctrine, worship, and practice. We believe that the only two church ordinances are baptism and the Lord's Supper. We likewise believe that only those who are committed to Jesus Christ as Lord are scriptural subjects for baptism and that immersion is the only proper mode of baptism. We believe that the Lord's Supper is a memorial to the Lord's death. The bread symbolizes His body which was given for us. The fruit of the vine symbolizes His blood which was shed for us. We believe that a church is a democratic organization served by two types of officers, pastors or bishops and deacons.
We believe that God established civil government. We likewise believe in the complete separation of church and state.
We are Baptists because we believe that Baptists stand for distinctive truths to which other denominations do not adhere. We believe that we cannot compromise these truths without being disloyal to our Lord and to His Word. We do seek to cooperate with all others who are committed to Jesus Christ as Lord.
I do solemnly promise and engage not to inculcate, sanction, teach, or insinuate anything which shall contradict or contravene, either directly or implicitly, any element of the foregoing statement of religious beliefs. Now, therefore, the undersigned in the presence of God declares that he/she consents, agrees, and binds himself/herself to all of the foregoing without any reservation whatsoever. He/she further agrees that he/she will immediately notify in writing the administration of the Seminary should a change of any kind take place in his/her belief that is not in accord with this statement.


The facility will provide heat and electricity to over 70,000 homes in Zabrze and neighbouring Bytom.
During the ceremonial opening, representatives of the Scandinavian energy concern underscored that the innovative multi-fuel installation, which is able to run on coal, as well as alternative fuel and biomass, is one of the most important Fortum investments in the world, forming one of the calling cards of the Polish energy sector.
Fortum Group President and CEO Pekka Lundmark highlighted at Thursday's opening that the plant is the first of its type in Poland, a milestone for Fortum's presence in Silesia and a milestone for the energy sector in Silesia, in Poland and worldwide. He said it was a symbol of change and would be a key element of the modern heat and power infrastructure in Zabrze and Bytom for the next decade. He pointed out that Fortum has invested over EUR 600 million over the last 15 years and plans further enterprises.
The Fortum CEO went on to state that energy from the Zabrze plant would be cheaper and more environmentally friendly than from older technologies. Fortum experts calculate that thanks to the technology utilised at Zabrze, the emission of harmful particles will be 11 times lower, sulfur dioxide more than seven times lower and nitric oxide just one third of traditional technologies.

Excellent tour guide John with in-depth explanation. Oban was probably one of the most beautiful seaside town I have been to.
Lovely tour, nice small tour bus, sadly we had a full day of rain, but still able to enjoy the scenery but it made for a much longer trip due to weather, would of liked more time in Oban, lovely seaside village, food was amazing there. Castle in Inverarry on way back was interesting and if Downton Abby fan, was used for some filming. Our guide was knowledgable, shared a lot of Scottish history.
Good itinerary, but the tour guide/operator was not particularly knowledgeable as to the history of what was being shown.


The Libyan National Army (LNA) opposed to the UN-backed Presidential Council has confirmed the death of three of its forces in a car bomb attack blamed on the Islamic State group (IS).
The attack was carried out by a jeep fitted with a bomb, which targeted members of the 127th Infantry Brigade that was part of the Juffra Operations Room, Ahmed Mesmari, spokesperson for the eastern army said.
Libya Herald, citing the army official, notes that the attack took place at a checkpoint manned by the army, 22 km west of the central Libyan city of Waddan on the road towards Tripoli.
Two other army personnel were injured in the attack.
The LNA led by self-style Khalifar Haftar controls large swaths of the Libyan territory in collaboration with the country's internationally recognized House of Representatives, located in the eastern city of Tobruk, and the Beida-based administration.
Haftar and his army have declared victory over jihadists in the eastern part of country and around Benghazi but the terror group still stages sporadic attacks against the LNA.
Haftar, former Gaddafi's key aid, is eager to become the country's future president. He has endorsed UN-planned elections believed to take place late this year. The army commander has however warned that he would not accept rigged results and that he would ask a national mandate if things go chaotic.

Law360, New York (March 22, 2017, 7:11 PM EDT) -- A group of certified public accountants Wednesday urged Congress to reintroduce and pass a bill to fix drafting errors in recent tax legislation, saying failure to correct mistakes in a 2015 budget act place a burden on the Internal Revenue Service and taxpayers alike.
The American Institute of CPAs said in a letter to congressional leaders that errors in the drafting of the 2015 Bipartisan Budget Act threaten to complicate partnership audits and efforts by overseas taxpayers to renew their Individual Taxpayer Identification Numbers if a bill to fix inadvertent changes to tax law made by the act is not reintroduced and signed into law.
"Several of the provisions included in the 'act' are of unusually high importance since failure to enact them has an immediate negative impact on both the IRS and taxpayers. In particular, two provisions warrant immediate action," the letter states.
