Video / Health Topics A-Z / Plaque Psoriasis / Why Doesn't Moisturizer Seem to be Helping My Psoriasis?
Moisturizer does help ease psoriasis for most people, but you need to use the proper one to target the unique symptoms of this condition. In this video, dermatologist Ellen Marmur, MD, discusses the types of moisturizers to look for and other tips.
Moisturizer really does help psoriasis for most people so if your moisturizer isn't helping your psoriasis, you may not be using the right types of moisturizer. There's a generic over the counter moisturizer called Ammonium lactate that really has been proven to help reduce that scaley white skin on psoriasis black and thin it, out so that should help you.
Vitamin D creme moisturizes also really help, their skin are just sick but they work better with regular moisturizer. So you might need two moisturizers. Never scratch your psoriasis. Try really hard not to lean on it and if you have it on your elbows or kind of press on it, if you have it on your knees.
If your moisturizer isn't working by itself, that's normal, and you might need some medicines to help, and that's when you need to see your dermatologist.

Florida Estate Planning Lawyers are often asked about tax strategies. Lawyers and accounts are not allowed to advise clients on tax evasion schemes. Recently I read an IRS Article named Abusive Trust Tax Evasion Schemes – Questions and Answers The questions and answers give a good general background to many of the terms used in Florida estate planning. In addition there are some links at the bottom which provide more information on tax abuse, scams, and fraud.
An exercise of a power of appointment to another person as trustee or an enforceable promise to create a trust.
Q: Who is a grantor of a trust?
The designation of the state under which the terms and provisions of the trust agreement are to be governed.
Q: What is a trustee/fiduciary?
A: The trustee obtains legal title to the trust assets and is required to administer the trust on behalf of the beneficiaries according to the express terms and provisions of the trust agreement. A fiduciary is an individual or organization charged with the duty to act for the benefit of another. A trustee is a fiduciary.
A: The beneficiaries are those entitled to receive benefits from the trust.
Q: What is a simple trust?
Does not distribute the corpus of the trust or make charitable contributions. (IRC Section 651).
Q: What is a complex trust?
A: A "complex trust" is a trust that is not defined as a "simple trust" or a "grantor trust" under the Internal Revenue Code.
A: "Grantor trust" is a term used in the Internal Revenue Code to describe any trust over which the grantor or other owner retains the power to control or direct the trust's income or assets. If a grantor retains certain powers over or benefits in a trust, the income of the trust will be taxed to the grantor, rather than to the trust. (Examples, the power to decide who receives income, the power to vote or to direct the vote of the stock held by the trust or to control the investment of the trust funds, the power to revoke the trust, etc.) All "revocable trusts" are by definition grantor trusts. An "irrevocable trust" can be treated as a grantor trust if any of the grantor trust definitions contained in Internal Code §§ 671, 673, 674, 675, 676, or 677 are met. If a trust is a grantor trust, then the grantor is treated as the owner of the assets, the trust is disregarded as a separate tax entity, and all income is taxed to the grantor.
Q: What are irrevocable/revocable trusts?
A: An irrevocable trust is a trust, which, by its terms, cannot be modified, amended, or revoked. For tax purposes an irrevocable trust can be treated as a simple, complex, or grantor trust, depending on the powers listed in the trust instrument. A revocable trust may be revoked and is considered a grantor trust (IRC § 676). State law and the trust instrument establish whether a trust is revocable or irrevocable. If the trust instrument is silent on revocability, then most states consider the trust revocable.
Q: What are testamentary and Inter Vivos trusts?
A: A testamentary trust is created by a will, which begins its existence upon the death of the person making the will, when property is transferred from the decedent's estate. Testamentary trusts are generally simple or complex trusts. A testamentary trust is irrevocable by definition, as it comes into being at the death of the grantor. A living person creates an Inter Vivos trust during that person's lifetime. An Inter Vivos trust can be established as revocable or irrevocable. An Inter Vivos trust can be a simple, complex, or grantor trust depending on the trust instrument.
Q: IRS instructions for Form 1041 and Schedules A, B, D, G, I, J and K-1 provide general tax information and guidance for completing Form 1041. What law controls trust taxation?
A: Taxation of trusts can be found in sub chapter J (Estates, Trusts, Beneficiaries, and Decedents – Sections 641 through 692) of the Internal Revenue Code. State law generally governs the legal standing of a trust and is important in some definitions included in the Internal Revenue Code.
Q: Do trusts have a requirement to file federal income tax returns?
A: Trusts must file a Form 1041, U.S. Income Tax Return for Estates and Trusts, for each taxable year where the trust has $600 in income or the trust has a non-resident alien as a beneficiary. However, if the trust is classified as a grantor trust, it is not required to file a Form 1041, provided that the individual grantor reports all items of income and allowable expenses on his own Form 1040, U.S. Individual Income Tax Return. Thus, the grantor/individual would pay the total tax liability upon the filing of his return for that taxable year.
Q: How does a trust compute its income tax liability?
A: A trust computes its income tax liability in much the same way that an individual does and is allowed most of the credits and deductions that an individual is allowed. Similarly, deductions not allowed to individuals are not allowed to trusts. For example, personal living expenses such as food, utilities, recreational expenses, children's education, depreciation of one's personal residence, etc. are not allowed as a trust deduction any more than as an individual deduction. Trusts are also required to prepare a Schedule K-1 for their beneficiaries, showing them the amounts distributed by the trust to them. These amounts must be reported on the beneficiaries' returns.
Q: I have been told that I can assign income to a trust and I will not be taxed on that income. Is this true?
A: No. Income that is earned by one person cannot be assigned to another for federal income tax purposes. You would still be liable for income taxes due on income earned, even though it was directly paid to the trust.
Q: May a trust deduct contributions to a charity?
A: A simple trust cannot. A complex trust may, but the deduction must meet rules similar to those for deductions by individuals (except for the percentage limitations of IRC Section 170) and be explicitly allowed in the trust instrument. Trusts that claim a charitable deduction generally must also file Form 1041-A, U.S. Information Return for Trust Accumulation of Charitable Amounts. In a grantor trust, the deduction would be attributable to the grantor and be governed by IRC Section 170, charitable deduction rules.
Q: Will I owe Federal Gift Taxes on property contributed to a trust?
A: The creation of a trust, or the contributing of property to a trust may or may not have gift tax implications, which would require the filing of Form 709, Gift Tax Return. For gift tax purposes, a gift is complete to the extent the donor (the person making the gift) has irrevocably parted with dominion and control over all or part of the transferred property, whether directly or indirectly, leaving the donor without the power to change its disposition, whether for the benefit of the donor or for the benefit of others. Where a grantor trust has been established, generally no gift tax would be due on property contributed. In situations where an Inter Vivos irrevocable trust is the recipient of property contributed, a gift tax return would generally be due. Testamentary trusts would be subject to estate and gift tax rules/filing requirements.
Q. The information presented by the promoter sounded legitimate. Now I have concerns regarding this promotion. Who do I contact to report information on the promotion and promoter?
A. Contact the Internal Revenue Service at 1-866-775-7474 or e-mail the Tax Shelter Hotline at irs.tax.shelter.hotline@irs.gov.

Film & TV Production Live Performance Musicians
The King may have left the building, but his legend endures with the release of Baz Lurhmann's new Elvis biopic starring Austin Butler and Tom Hanks. Shure Historian Michael Pettersen explains how he helped keep the mics in the movie legit.
Released worldwide in the summer of 2022, the film chronicles the career of Elvis Presley, convincingly portrayed by Butler, from his childhood days to his rise to the world's greatest pop star. The movie also explores the complex relationship between The King and his manager, Colonel Tom Parker, who is played by Hanks.

In November 2019, Shure Corporate Relations received an email from Warner Bros. Pictures about the nascent production:
Attached is a microphone wish list for Baz Lurhmann's Kat King (the film's working title at the time. -Eds.) Production starts in February 2020, in Australia. Yes, recreating the South and Vegas in Australia. We have a container going to Australia at the end of November.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Also, if there are products in there that Shure has reissued or you can sub, please advise. Thank you so much!
Warner Bros. Pictures, Production Resources
Requests like these are not uncommon. For decades, Shure has assisted film production companies in identifying and locating historically accurate microphones. We don't loan vintage microphones from our archival collection, but we do provide mic model identification services, user guides, dimensions, technical drawings, photos, and suggest sources such as prop houses, collectors, or online auction listings.
Our assistance saves the production company time and money. In exchange, Shure products frequently appear in major motion pictures.

The first mic list had the Unidyne I Model 55, the Unidyne I Model 556, the Unidyne II Model 55S, and the Uniplex Model 730B. The 55, 556, and 55S were easy to locate; LA movie prop rental houses have numerous copies. The rare Model 730B crystal mic was available at auction, but at prices that ranged from $350 to over $500.
The second version of the mic list added the SM54 and Model 525. Vintage SM54 mics were available, but the Model 525 proved elusive. Eventually, Warner Bros. located a Model 535 and repainted it to create a Model 525 lookalike.
The third and final list expanded to include the Unidyne III SM57 and Unidyne III Model 545. Both microphones are still in production, so Warner Brothers was able to purchase them. Even so, there was a caveat.
A Model 525 Omnidirectional Moving Coil Microphone
Ready for Its Close-Up
I alerted Warner's prop department to an important detail. "New Shure mics have the current Shure logo," I wrote to them. "The logo was different in the 1960s and '70s. If using a modern SM57 mic on screen, avoid a close-up of the label on the mic grille. Note the grille can be rotated so the logo is hidden."
It wasn't long before I received some much-appreciated feedback: "This info is invaluable!! There are so many mic details for us to consider. It's great to get the inside skinny."
Supporting Role
There are other mic brands seen in Elvis, including RCA ribbon mics, and Electro-Voice handheld mics. Still, Shure models dominate the screen – just like The King used to.

Martin Hanzal could face a fascinating contract year
By James O'BrienAug 12, 2016, 6:31 PM EDT
This is part of Arizona Coyotes day at PHT …
The window is open for the Arizona Coyotes to sign Martin Hanzal to a contract extension, but they might just let him play out his current deal instead.
New GM John Chayka explained the thought process to Arizona Sports' Craig Morgan (if their skimpy salary structure doesn't stand as enough of an explanation in itself).
"If there was something that made sense, we would probably take a closer look at that because Marty's been a good player for us," Chayka said. "But maybe it's not a bad thing to get into the season and see how things play out."
Hanzal, 29, is carrying an affordable $3.1 million cap hit in 2016-17. If he goes through next season with an extension, his contract year situation would be awfully intriguing.
A contract year to watch
On one hand, Hanzal is the sort of guy a lot of teams would clamor for, especially ones that gravitate toward big, rugged centers.
He's developed into a better point-generator in recent years, too, averaging at least .62 points per contest since 2013-14.
Unfortunately, it's crucial to discuss such rates because he can't seem to put a healthy season together.
He played 64 games in 2015-16, 37 in 2014-15 and 65 in 2013-14. He managed 81 GP in 2009-10, but aside from that, he's missed at least eight games every season. The Coyotes probably grimace and pencil him in for about 15-20 missed games per year at this point.
The thing is, Hanzal could luck out and play at or near 82 games, enjoying a career-high scoring season and rake in the money on the free agent market.
That's the risk the Coyotes might be willing to take. Every other NHL GM would be wise to consider the red flags if he does indeed manage a big year at the perfect time.


Digital guitar amplifier simulation has been getting better and better over the years and Apple's Garage Band is no exception. However while sound-wise these simulations may be getting very close to analog amplifiers, the affordances of an all digital system – particularly on a computer – are still very different.
I still prefer the directness and simplicity of a real amp, but there are situations where simulation is the more practical option. The most obvious is during recording: it is much easier to DI the guitar than set up an amp and mic in a separate room.
The other obvious advantage of the digital domain is the range of amps you can use. Many options that would be both expensive and far too loud to be practical to use real versions of are available. I would love a big tweed amp for instance, but even my 1 watt tube combo is almost too loud for home use.
While amp simulation is easier to record with than a mic and real amp, I've found I do need to do more messing about than I do with a real amp. There are two key facets of the virtual rig that I have found most useful to tweak: amp presence, and mic choice and placement.
— Pedal Stackers Guide to the Universe (Emphasis mine).
Adjusting the presence of the virtual amp is my first stop to correcting harshness, or overly bright response. In fact I often leave the EQ relatively flat. At the volumes real amps operate at I have found it difficult to really tell exactly how a presence control effects the sound, but at the controlled levels of digital its very clear.
The choice and placement of the virtual microphone is the other useful filter for shaping the tone of the amp. The common choices and placement are all available, and I spent quite a while trying out different things suggested in Premier Guitar's recent mic placement tutorial video.
Because the microphone and cab have such a big part to play in the tone filtering, I have found that the amp's EQ section is best used as a fine tuner after everything else is in place.
One area amp modelling seems to be an order of magnitude easier is recording heavily overdriven guitar. Avoids the small sound that is so easy to produce miking an amp.
Garage Band's skeumorphic amp interfaces obscure a nice feature: the EQ and reverb sections are configurable. The labels above the controls are actually drop down menus that allow you to choose alternatives to the default. Great for taming a splash spring reverb or using a modern EQ stage on an old amp model.
One frustration I have currently is it appears that effects loops, and post amp or microphone effects are limited to what comes with the preset amps in the library. For instance, the Clean Guitar library includes an amp called Dyna-Trem. This amp includes what I believe is a post-distortion stereo envelope following tremello.
The envelope trem appears in the amps summary interface, but is not in the amp head or effects. It appears the only way you can use it is to start from the Dyna-Trem amp in the library. Similarly I have not yet found a way to apply, for example, delay after amp or mic without starting from a library amp with that effect on it.
This seems to be a regression too; earlier versions of Garage Band – with worse amp models, and much worse interfaces in general – did allow you to have greater control over the signal path.
The overdrive, distortion and fuzz stomp boxes seem a bit rubbish. Ironic perhaps that the digital simulation of tube amps is pretty good and simulation of little transistor based circuits is average.

Taitokerau Fibre Networks and Kordia upgrade Northland fibre link
By Julia Gabel, Fri 18 May 2018
Taitokerau Fibre Networks (TFN) is upgrading its connectivity between Auckland and Whangarei.
TFN is a Layer One telecommunications provider that owns and operates a backhaul fibre optic cable.
It's 80% owned by three Iwi of Te Taitokerau (Te Rarawa, Ngati Whatua and Whaingaroa) and 20% owned by Southpark Utilities Limited.
The company's vision is to enable connectivity and provide bandwidth to the people of Northland, complementing the Ultra-Fast Broadband (UFB) and Rural Broadband Initiatives (RBI) programmes in Northland with backhaul capability.
To help materialise this vision, the Iwi-owned fibre network operator has selected mission-critical technology provider Kordia to help get the job done.
Under the terms of a new agreement, Kordia will implement carrier-grade dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) on Taitokerau's fibre assets that connect Auckland and Whangarei, substantially boosting the capacity of the network and increasing service performance.
According to Kordia CDO Aaron Olphert, the equipment being introduced to TFN's network has the potential to deliver up to 4Tbit/s of data between Auckland and Whangarei, which is almost 50 times the existing network capacity.
"That's a significant boost to the capability that can be enabled by other service providers and enterprise customers in and out of the Northland region through this investment," he explains.
"DWDM technology substantially increases the carrying data capacity of fibre optic connections by using multiple distinct light carriers within the same physical piece of glass."
TFN director June McCabe says the company tested the market to find an appropriate service provider that would help fulfil its long-term ambitions.
"Kordia is recognised for keeping New Zealand's TV broadcast, radio and maritime safety networks running, where the highest levels of resilience, reliability and availability are non-negotiable," she adds.
"As a connectivity provider ourselves, our customers look to us for reliable backhaul connectivity. With its fibre credentials, Kordia is the ideal solution provider."
McCabe says the TFN network is backhaul dark fibre - and Kordia is turning some of its latent capacity into 'lit fibre' through the installation of the DWDM technology so it can be used by customers in Northland down to Auckland and beyond.
"The partnership is both strategic as it lends further credibility to TFN and pragmatic as Kordia has the track record in providing and supporting these solutions."
Kordia will install the new equipment and manage it for 10 years. The company operates an existing 9.6 terabit per second capable DWDM network in all major centres between Auckland and Wellington, carrying a range of services including wholesale intercity capacity, corporate data services, live sport and data centre replication.

Measuring the impact of open data policies
by Wenjia Xie and Joyce Xie Oct 27, 2016 11:44 am
After a year of diving into statistics in our graduate-level public policy program at the University of Chicago, we joined Sunlight's local policy team as 2016 summer fellows. We were excited to apply our analytical skills to real-world practice and help Sunlight with their first quantitative explorations of open data policy and implementation.
Our preliminary quantitative analysis suggests that cities with open data policies that follow more of Sunlight's guidelines also tend to do a more successful job at implementation.
There appears to be little existing quantitative research about open data policy and implementation in U.S. cities, partially because there aren't many valid quantitative measures to evaluate open data on the city level, so we figured this would be an interesting topic to explore.
By extracting data from the US City Open Data Census [1] and Sunlight's Open Data Policy Comparison: Best Practices [2] spreadsheet, we built a dataset to analyze the policy and implementation of open data across American cities. (While the Open Data Census is far from the perfect measure, it's still the best and most comprehensive dataset we have available on open data implementation.)
In the census, each city is given a score representing its overall open data performance. This score is the sum of the performance scores for 19 specific datasets. Among the 56 cities we recorded, the average overall score is 984, slightly more than half of the maximum possible score of 1900; the median is 840. There is a wide range in scores among the cities:

For each of the 19 datasets, we looked specifically at how cities are performing on: opening the datasets, putting them online, providing them in bulk and machine-readable form, creating an open license and updating them in a timely manner. With all the available submissions for the 56 cities, we calculated each city's percentage of datasets that meet each of the criteria.
Many cities are doing well in certain areas. For the average city, 89 percent of the datasets exist, with 83 percent of them being posted online. Cities are also doing a good job in keeping them up-to-date, with an average of 74 percent of the datasets considered timely.
However, many cities have not realized the importance of providing the datasets in bulk and machine-readable form. The average city only provides 56 percent of the datasets in bulk form and 59 percent in machine-readable form. Additionally, datasets should have an open license, allowing them to be freely used, reused and redistributed; on average, cities only give 50 percent of their data sets an open license.
Exploring the data: Preliminary findings
With these numbers in hand, we were interested in exploring the factors that have an impact on the Open Data Census scores.

Not every city in the Open Data Census has a policy dedicated to open data, though they are all opening their data to some extent. Sunlight has made a map to record all the open data policies in place. Among the 56 cities extracted from the Open Data Census, 31 of them (55 percent) have an open data policy.
It is clear that having an open data policy likely helps improve the implementation of open data. Cities with an open data policy score significantly higher on the Open Data Census than cities without open data policies. See here for our preliminary statistical analysis and methodology.
We also found that cities tend to score higher on the Open Data Census when:
The open data policy is stricter and more actionable
The open data policy has been in place for longer
The city assigns an open data manager or a chief data officer to oversee the open data policy implementation
Specifically, the average city's score on the Open Data Census is positively correlated with the adoption rate of Sunlight's Open Data Policy Guidelines, particularly the guidelines to create a list of data holdings, create an oversight authority, create binding regulations for implementation, and setting a clear implementation timeline. This is especially true when a city's population is less than 1 million.
The What Works Cities initiative is at the core of Sunlight's local policy work. Compared to other cities of a similar size, cities participating in the program tend to perform better on the Open Data Census and adopt more of Sunlight's Open Data Policy Guidelines.
The cities participating in the What Works Cities program also tend to have a larger 5-year population growth rate, a higher median household income, and a lower poverty rate. This helps illustrate the fact that there are many variables involved here, so it's very important to note that correlation between two factors does not imply causation, thus limiting the conclusions we can draw. Still, our preliminary analysis of this data yielded interesting findings, and the next step would be further analysis with more accurate data.

As sovereignty underscores governance in human society, Hakimiyyah serves as a platform to argue that Islam is both state and religion. Theoretically Ijmāʿ has been the most potent factor in defining the meaning of the other uṣūl and thus in formulating the doctrine and practice of the Muslim community. It is a part of traditional authority but, over the ages, its validity had been a subject of theoretical and empirical discuss - suggesting perhaps, a possible 'chemical reaction' of Islamic jurisprudence. Islamic law was "jurists' and people's law" in that its content was determined by the jurist-scholars, accepted and observed by the people. It was also State law in that it had a mechanism of being enforced by the state. The neglect of application of the law by the state with tacit approval of scholars with consensus of the people and stiff resistance against the dissenting voices are giving rise to emergence of radicals groups.The arrival of Islam in Egypt dates back to 7th century after which it emerged as a centre of politics and culture in the Muslim world. Under Anwar Sadat, Islam became the official state religion and Shari'ah the main source of law.Egypt has track-record in the development of Islamic law. Its people also have played significant role in the struggle for its application. What followed the Arab Spring in Egypt has served as a re-enactment of the aged-long struggle against the colonialism, and of course, a serious challenge not only to the concept of Ijma' but also to the modern concept of democracy. This paper intends to explore the relevance of the principle of Ijma' in the political are religions metamorphosis of Egypt.

Bamboo fabric has antibacterial properties which remain constant even after 50 washes!! Studies show that bamboo fabric not only prevents bacteria from multiplying – it actually eliminates bacteria altogether. This is unlike other natural fibres such as cotton which allow bacteria to proliferate. Considering this – bamboo is the fabric of choice for breast pads maintaining a bacteria free feeding environment for your baby.
– Two upper layers of 100 per cent bamboo terry next to your skin.
– Three layers of absorbency with the waterproof layer for extra protection.
– Bamboo fabric has antifungal properties so may be helpful in preventing thrush – a common complaint in lactating women.

Pauline Strauss-De Ahna, née le  à Ingolstadt et morte le  à Garmisch-Partenkirchen, est une soprano allemande.

Biographie
Elle était la fille du général Adolf de Ahna. Elle a épousé le compositeur Richard Strauss le . Ils se fiancèrent en 1894 lors d'une répétition du Tannhäuser de Richard Wagner à Weimar. Il a écrit de nombreux rôles à l'opéra pour elle, comme Freihild dans Guntram.

Elle était connue pour son caractère autoritaire, son snobisme, sa mauvaise humeur ainsi qu'une certaine forme d'excentricité. Elle a été une grande source d'inspiration pour son mari dans plusieurs de ses œuvres, au premier rang desquelles : Quatre derniers lieder. En particulier, Strauss dépeint Pauline à la fois comme la compagne du héros dans Une vie de héros et dans plusieurs sections de la Sinfonia Domestica.
