Philippines increases financial inclusion efforts
Written by Kapronasia || April 17 2019
With a young population of more than 100 million, the Philippines is one of the most exciting Asean markets for fintechs. Just 34% of Filipinos have bank accounts, according to the World Bank, which means fintechs can play a leading role in the government's financial inclusion efforts. The Philippines is setting up a digital national identity system which should boost credit access for the underbanked. Once registered, residents will be given a 12-digit PhilSys Number that will be used as a digital identity across different platforms. Authorities plan to sign up 7 million Filipinos in 2019 and an additional 20 million in 2020 once the formal application process starts. By 2023, the government expects to have completed registration for all Filipino citizens and resident aliens.
At the same time, the Philippines has set up a "Fintech City" in Cagayan Province which it hopes will attract a wide array of fintech firms, from incubators to crypto and blockchain startups. The special economic zone "is aimed at fintech in general and not just the crypto world. We want to become an innovation hub," Ramon Garcia Jr, a consultant working on the project, told CryptoNewsAsia.
"The BSP [Philippines Central Bank] sees technology as an enabler in its push for greater financial inclusion, where the focus is on expanding customer reach and reducing transaction costs," wrote financial engineering expert Philip Keller in a March post on the Regulation Asia website. Keller notes that the BSP has taken a number of measures to boost financial services to the Philippines' unbanked and underbanked population, resulting in the creation of a "digital financial inclusion ecosystem." Within that ecosystem are such disparate elements as pawnshops, money service businesses, third-party cash agents and virtual currency exchanges, all of which play a role in the provision of basic financial services in the Philippines, he notes.
Despite those efforts, financial inclusion progress over the past five years have been modest at best. For instance, between 2014 and 2017, the number of Filipinos 15 and older who had been involved in a digital payment transaction rose from 20-25%. In the coming years though, financial digitalization in the Philippines will pick up speed. Digital wallet expenditure is forecast to rise to US$1.7 trillion from US$700 million in 2018, according to International Data Corporation.
In March, Saphron, an insurtech firm based in Manila, announced it had raised a SGD1.35 million seed fund. The company says that it wants to improve "financial preparedness" in the Philippines, a country vulnerable to natural disasters but where many people are uninsured or severely underinsured.

How to Build a Successful Startup and Keep It Afloat

The business world is in a constant state of evolution.
From fledgling startups to well-established ventures, companies today need to be ready to pivot as unpredictable markets could demand a shift in a business model. At times, it can seem difficult (even impossible) to weather these extraneous forces -- especially as a new venture. Here, tips on how to start your company in the face of uncertainty and keep it going, come what may.
Related: 5 Traits All Successful Startup Entrepreneurs Have
Act small, dream big
When starting a new venture in an emerging market or with an untested model, it's important to keep costs as close to zero as possible. Those who've bootstrapped their company know this better than anyone.
When we started InstaBrand, we worked out of my dining room for months to keep overhead costs down. We started with only a few hundred dollars, and it was very, very carefully spent. Instead of hiring developers or bringing on a technical co-founder, the entire system and workflow were built in Google Docs -- the "personal" version. (We didn't want to pay $5 for the "business" version.)
Keeping costs close to zero gave us something others didn't have -- time. We could run our bootstrap operation indefinitely, and every dollar we brought in was a dollar used to grow the company.
$5 mistakes
While trying to grow our business model, we made a lot of small mistakes. But those mistakes turned out to be the keys to our success.
Instead of building our ideal custom website for big bucks, we put up a Squarespace site -- and invested just a few hours into doing so. Instead of spending money on marketing, we went to trade shows to network -- often finding ways to attend for free. When testing new concepts that required ad spend, like Google Adwords for example, we would build $5 campaigns instead of $500 campaigns.
We were able to learn from our mistakes at a lower cost and stay dynamic.

Being flexible is better than being right
Influencer marketing was brand new and basically untested when we first started the company two years ago. Whatever long-term commitments we made -- a lease, building technology, signing up for a SaaS tool -- we asked if it would still be useful if we pivoted in another direction and how quickly could we recoup the cost if not.
Always staying flexible allowed us to be dynamic and adapt with emerging market trends.
Build a smart team
At first, we didn't have the funds or the resources to attract experienced talent. We started by hiring people who could quickly learn a task and solve problems.
The result for us was a team that took a very fresh approach to some of the ad industry's oldest rituals and problems. We learned as we went, and team members were quickly switching and taking on new roles based on skill and performance. By hiring people who could handle any challenge or task thrown at them, we were able to keep our core team strong as the market changed and shifted.
Be passionate, and start networking
In business, it's important to hang with the right crowd.
These people can be board members, advisors or friends. Find people who have realized success in their lives and can teach and guide you. Surround yourself with a diverse group so that you have different experiences and skill sets to draw upon.
You don't need to wait until you have funding, a cool office space or a rockstar team to start approaching these people. All you need is passion. Be passionate about what you do, believe in yourself and everything else will fall into place. Don't be afraid to reach out and don't be shy. It will cost you only your time -- and it will be time well spent.

I'm trying to build a business around selling crafts to provide for my family. I need to raise the money to get supplies, promote and advertise my business, as well as be able to rent a place big enough to have a kid-proof craft room to work. Right now, my girls and I are in a bad situation, and I highly doubt it will get any better. I am a self-published fiction author with 2 books published and a third being re-written (part of a series) I need to get a cover properly formatted to get it available for print and hopefully get some copies to start advertising my books better. So far I have sold one e-book, and $40 dollars worth of crafts. Mainly stuffed animals. My husband is an addict who refuses to do anything to get better, and he is extremely controlling. I can't leave with my girls because I am almost $4000 in debt with my last complex (long story) that my husband wouldn't let me pay off and now I can't rent anywhere until I can. This funding will hopefully get me going on my crafts and with any luck this business will quickly pay for the bills. I don't know what else to do then to ask for help. I'm begging. Please. Thank you for taking the time to read this. Thank you for considering to donate. Thank you for being wonderfully you. Light and Love.


WASHINGTON—On May 28, Policy Forum Armenia (PFA) held a reception on the occasion of the independence of the First Armenian Republic (1918-20) at the historic University Club of Washington. The event served as the first in a series of introductions of members of the Sardarapat Movement's Initiating Group—film director Tigran Khzmalyan and informational technology expert Garegin Chugaszyan, who are visiting Washington at the invitation of PFA—to the Armenian community and policy circles in the nation's capital.
In his keynote address, Dr. Rouben Adalian, the director of the Armenian National Institute, stressed the importance of the Battle of Sardarabad for preserving culture and identity, and regaining statehood in those darkest of times in the history of Armenia. As improbable as it seemed at the time, he noted that the success in Sardarabad became an important milestone for measuring successes of the future.
Khzmalyan emphasized the need for continuing the fight for independence, amid the worsening governance in and external dependence of Armenia. Stressing that independence should not be taken for granted, he called on Armenians worldwide, irrespective of party affiliations and geography, to help regain Armenia's true independence—one that will guarantee dignity, freedom, and prosperity.
Recalling Yeghishe Charents' poems written at the dawn of the First Republic, Chugaszyan reminded participants that the foundations for a strong statehood lie in people's unconventional love towards their country at the most desperate of times. He referred to the dark winter of the third Armenian republic, which will undoubtedly end soon and be followed by the spring of the forth republic to come.
In his closing remarks, David Grigorian, PFA's co-founder, called on community members to intensify their search for new ways of engaging with Armenia by focusing on civil society groups, such as Sardarapat, who are on the forefront of the battle for democracy and a stronger Armenia. He stressed that the existing mechanisms have offered little, if any, incentives for the successive ruling regimes in Armenia to reform and do better, emphasizing the need to scrap them in exchange for new models of engagement that will have allegiances to the people of Armenia (as opposed to their rulers) in their core.
Discussions between members of the Sardarapat Movement and stakeholders will continue through Thurs., June 2, to give an opportunity to share their views on the ongoing political and economic crisis in Armenia and offer ways forward.
PFA is an independent professional non-profit association aimed at strengthening discourse on Armenia's economic development and national security, and through that helping to shape public policy in Armenia. Its main objective is to offer alternative views and professional analyses containing innovative and practical recommendations for public policy design and implementation. Through its activities, PFA aims to contribute to the creation of an informed public and a more effective and accountable government. PFA's main asset is its worldwide network of professionals and leaders in their respective fields dedicated to Armenia.

Spidey has finally come home to the gaming scene with Spider-Man PS4! This game is so much more than just an entertaining adventure. It's giving kids, parents, and gamers around the world a chance to be in Peter Parker's shoes, learning his story and understanding what it means to be Spidey. It's also capturing the imagination of gamers all over the world, setting up web crawls for hours on end, and living out their superhero fantasies.
Spider-Man PS4 is not only the best Spider-man game yet; it may be one of the best games ever created. From start to finish, this game will make you feel like you are in control of your every move. And every minute will count in your quest for justice. Read on to learn more about what makes this game super!
Who is Spider-Man PS4 for?
Spider-Man PS4 is a fun and easy game for any level of gamer. It's perfect for hours on end of entertainment and has enough action and adventure to keep you hooked from start to finish.
Kids who love superheroes will enjoy this game, as it gives them the opportunity to play as their favorite character. Parents, on the other hand, will appreciate Spider-Man PS4 because of its family-friendly content and low levels of violence.
But anyone who loves action games, open world games, superhero games, or games with puzzles can enjoy Spider-Man PS4. It's also a great game if you want to bond with your kids over some gaming time!
What's the Game About?
Spider-Man PS4 is a narrative based action-adventure game. In this game, you play as Peter Parker and interact with villains and superheroes from throughout the comics. You will also be able to catch up on Spider-Man's story and see how it weaves into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Spider-Man PS4 tells an original, nonlinear story set in modern day New York City. It follows an older, more experienced Peter Parker who has been Spider-Man for eight years. The city is under threat from a new gang called the Inner Demons and other classic villains that Spidey has faced over the years such as Electro and Mr. Negative.
As you progress through this game, you will be making important choices that will affect not only your allies but also your enemies. These choices will also change how other characters react to you and what missions they give you. This makes Spider-Man PS4 one of the most interactive and immersive games ever seen!
What are the Graphics Like?
Spider-Man PS4 is a masterpiece. With its 4K graphics, it looks like you are in the game. You can see every detail, from the texture of Peter Parker's suit to the jagged edge of a shattered window. And with HDR technology, Spider-man PS4 will seem even more life-like with all the light and dark that floods into the room.
But it doesn't just look good; this game has great sounds, too! Voice acting in Spider-Man PS4 is spot on with sounds coming in crystal clear and music complimenting every moment of your journey.
Spider-Mans PS4 gameplay is smooth and precise. It feels like you are actually controlling Spider-Man as he battles crime in New York City. Spidey is responsive to your commands with little lag time between movements or attacks. And when you're swinging through New York City, it feels like you are really there!
This game captures what it means to be a super hero or super villain–to fight for justice or for evil. Spider-Man PS4 will make you feel like an all powerful superhero and leave you feeling satisfied at the conclusion of your adventure.
What are the Controls Like?
Spider-Man PS4 has a deep and robust set of controls. You'll be able to move your character easily by using the left stick. With a press of a button, you can jump and web swing on any horizontal surface you see. To make things more complex, Spider-Man PS4 has some intuitive puzzles that require you to use different combinations of buttons to open doors or break crates.
In addition, Spider-Mans' combat mechanics are as smooth as silk. He's able to climb on enemies' backs and pummel them with punches, kicks, and webs. You have a choice between six suits exclusively designed for this game: Classic Black Suit, Advanced Suit 2.0, Scarlet Spider Suit, Spider Armor Mk II, Iron Spider Suit, and Velocity Suit. These suits all have their own special abilities!
The only part of the game where you'll feel a little lackadaisical is running from one spot to another in sewers or other indoor areas without any enemies popping up around the corner. In those moments the controls will start to feel frustratingly slow as you just want to get back outside into the action!
How Is It Playing?
Spider-Man PS4 is the best Spider-man game yet. And that's saying something, considering how many great Spider-man games there are to choose from. But in this game, you get to experience the entire story, which tells you about both Peter Parker and Spider-Man.
This game is not like other superhero games where you only control the hero. You get to live in Peter Parker's world before he becomes Spidey—and during his time as Spidey.
You also get to explore different parts of New York City and work with other Marvel superheroes like Iron Man or Thor. The game developers did an incredible job bringing this story to life and making it fun for everyone (even if they don't know anything about Spider-Man).
If you've ever wanted to be a superhero, this is your chance!
Spider-Man is one of the best Marvel games to date. The game is not only fun to play, but it also has a lot of replay value. One of the biggest highlights in Spider-Man is the comic book art style that makes the game feel like an interactive comic book. This game is worth every penny and I would recommend it to anyone who likes superheroes, comic books, or video games!
Best Spider-Man Game, Spider-Man PS4


The People's Struggle Defense Front (FDLP, Spanish acronym) has applied an active boycott against the referendum called by Lenín Moreno, President of the semi-colonial government. The boycott campaign, called "Comrade Pierre" (in honor of the late French Maoist leader) was attended by peasants.
The peasants who attended the campaign were organized by the North and Center bases of the Popular Peasant Committee. In addition, according to the FDLP, three boxes of leaflets were distributed in Quito, the capital of the country, by Red Guards.
Altogether, several flagging actions (hanging flags in public places) were carried out, blocking roads, leafleting and posting posters, all under the slogan of "Boycott the Referendum!".
In a note published on the internet they stated; "Faithful to Marxism-Leninism-Maoism Gonzalo Thought, and the need to prepare the conditions to unleash the people's war in the country, the conscious elements of the class, the people and the poor peasantry called on the masses to boycott the referendum".
The referendum proposed to discuss some points, such as: ineligibility for tose convicted of corruption, term limits of no more than one reelection, prohibition of metal mining in protected areas, and repeal of organic laws to avoid speculation on land value, among others. The winner was "yes" with 64% of votes.
As the Ecuadorian revolutionaries pointed out, the result strengthens the big comprador bourgeoisie and its groups in power in the political dispute against the other fraction, bureaucracy. The biggest defeated politician in the referendum is the reactionary Rafael Correa, former President of the country and disgraced by the investigations on corruption on his government.

Q: Where can I ask how others made friends on the internet? Where should I go for questions about how other people made friends online?
The question I want to ask is this:

I want to make real friends online.
We believe that if we talk often or do things together often, we naturally become friends.
Assuming you've met good people online, it's hard to keep in touch with most of the people I've met. In more than 90% of cases, I contact them first. They seldom send me messages.
I see a lot of people making friends online. How did they become friends? (They all responded kindly and one of them even greeted me saying that he had no friends.)

A: I dabble across the network - and while IPS is for questions about the behaviors used when interacting with people towards specific outcomes - it's not about picking up social skills or a subset of them, or for sharing of anecdotal personal experiences. It's worth reading the entire help page, and not cherry picking from it.
Of course - I'm going to cherry pick a little bit, and quote:

Questions focusing on using and improving your own interpersonal skills, in an attempt to resolve specific problems or prevent problems from occurring when having specific interactions with people. A list of what to include to make these questions answerable can be found in the section "Questions must be specific enough to be answered"

I've been on the internet, and have had a social life on it for the last 20 or so years at least. Nearly every relationship I've had on the internet has been different.
If you want to know "how" to make friends on the internet - I don't think IPS is the right place nor are there any good sites for it. It's a really broad topic. How I would interact with a specific person would be different from how someone else would interact with them, and how I would interact with another person.
If you have a question about a specific interaction it might be, but I feel based off what I know of the site, and the comments - that the answer from Elements in Space is incorrect.

A: Try over at SE: Interpersonal Skills.
Their help center says that:

Interpersonal Skills Stack Exchange is a question & answer site for people looking to better understand or improve their interpersonal skills: the behaviours that are used to interact with other people in an attempt to achieve certain goals.

Update
Since this answer has been Accepted – it is worth clarifying that this type of question is apparently not on-topic for SE: Interpersonal Skills.
Currently (and in the foreseeable future) there is no SE site where this sort of question would be a good fit – sorry.

Biografia
Poche le notizie biografiche di Giovanna Bonanno, vissuta nel XVIII secolo durante il regno del viceré Domenico Caracciolo.
Risulta da alcune fonti che un tale Vincenzo Bonanno nel 1744 sposò una donna di nome Anna Pantò: Giovanna Bonanno era il nome (probabilmente falsificato o trascritto male) che emerge dagli atti giudiziari del processo per veneficio e stregoneria.

Secondo l'antropologo Salvatore Salomone Marino, la Bonanno visse nel XVIII secolo durante il regno del viceré Caracciolo, traendo sostentamento dalla mendicità e non già dalla stregoneria. Peraltro, la scoperta del liquido che ella usava per avvelenare le persone fu del tutto casuale: nell'anno 1786 venne a sapere di una bambina che per errore aveva assaggiato aceto per i pidocchi e si era sentita male, peraltro senza che nessuno sospettasse di niente, e da quell'episodio scaturì l'intuizione che per pochi anni cambiò la misera vita di Giovanna Bonanno (nonché quella di molte donne infelicemente sposate).

L'aceto
Dai documenti processuali studiati da S. S. Marino, risulta che la Bonanno fosse persuasa di offrire un servizio socialmente utile per ridare la serenità a quanti volessero disfarsi del proprio coniuge, in evidente analogia con quanto aveva fatto Giulia Tofana a suo tempo. Inoltre, non era estraneo il desiderio di migliorare la propria esistenza, da sempre caratterizzata dalla povertà e dall'accattonaggio. In fondo, non era difficile procurarsi il liquido per i pidocchi, né complicato addizionarlo con vino bianco e arsenico.

I delitti
La prima cliente di Giovanna fu una sua vicina che desiderava "separarsi" dal marito per dedicarsi totalmente al suo amante. La "cliente" aveva però poco da spendere ed acquistò una dose poi rivelatasi sufficiente solo per procurare forti dolori di pancia al marito. Dovette acquistarne altre due dosi per vedere il marito, inutilmente ricoverato in ospedale, morto. Nessun medico riuscì ad accertare la causa della morte, e questo diede a Giovanna la certezza di non essere scoperta. Fu così che cominciò a chiamare la sua mistura "arcano liquore aceto".

Nel quartiere popolare Zisa di Palermo, cominciano a verificarsi morti molto misteriose. Dapprima il fornaio, la cui moglie era diventata insofferente e pagò anche un premio extra, poi un nobile, colpevole di aver dilapidato il patrimonio familiare, poi ancora la moglie di un altro fornaio, che sospettava di essere tradito, poi ancora un tale che costituiva elemento di disturbo tra la propria moglie e il giardiniere.

Il processo
La discutibile carriera di Giovanna Bonanno (ormai prossima agli 80 anni) fu stroncata da un errore: come procacciatrice di clienti aveva una sua amica, Maria Pitarra, alla quale un giorno consegnò una dose di "aceto" senza informarsi su chi fosse il destinatario. Venne a sapere che la vittima era il figlio di un'altra sua carissima amica, ma era troppo tardi per rimediare: pensò allora di poter ricevere qualche ricompensa se avesse avuto modo di avvertire per tempo la madre (tale Giovanna Lombardo, come risulta dagli atti processuali esaminati da S. S. Marino).

Nel frattempo, la Lombardo aveva scoperto che proprio sua nuora aveva commissionato la pozione per avvelenare il marito e immediatamente tramò la vendetta. Finse di voler comprare una dose di "aceto", ed al momento della consegna si presentò con quattro testimoni, cogliendo in flagrante la Bonanno. Nell'ottobre del 1788, davanti alla Regia Corte Capitaniale di Palermo, iniziò il processo a Giovanna Bonanno per stregoneria, dove furono chiamati a testimoniare i coniugi superstiti di sei venefici (quelli scoperti e denunciati) ed anche il droghiere che vendeva sistematicamente l'aceto per i pidocchi alla Bonanno. La condanna riportata in primo grado fu confermata dal Tribunale della Gran Corte. Il 30 luglio 1789 l'avvelenatrice pendeva dalla forca.

Folclore
Il 30 luglio del 1789 la famigerata Giovanna Bonanno veniva impiccata sulla forca in piazza Vigliena e il 5 settembre seguente già si poteva assistere ad una rappresentazione sulla Vecchia dell'aceto. Nel Museo etnografico siciliano Giuseppe Pitré è custodito un busto di Giovanna Bonanno.

Nintendo Switch Version Of Skyrim: Anniversary Edition Repordetly Rated By Taiwanese Board
Explore Tamriel Once More?
Jon Wilson | May 19, 2022
A Nintendo Switch version of Skyrim: Anniversary Edition has reportedly been rated and then taken down by the Taiwanese game rating board.
The rating was spotted by Switch Brazil yesterday, and it appears to show that it was filed last week on May 15. Skyrim: Anniversary Edition was previously launched last year on modern consoles and PC, but not on the Nintendo Switch at the time.
Skyrim Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated For Switch In Taiwan, Sparking Rumours Of A Port https://t.co/8Ni5Y68RGp #Repost #Skyrim #NintendoSwitch pic.twitter.com/5jzTHL2Tna
— Nintendo Life (@nintendolife) May 19, 2022
While a Switch port of the game is still up in the air, the original Skyrim came to the Nintendo system in 2017, and the Taiwanese games rating board has previously revealed other games before they were officially announced. For example, the Castelvania Advance Collection was rated by the board last year, with a surprise announcement and release coming soon after. The same happened with Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time, as the Taiwan rating board leaked that game as well, before its official announcement.
In NME's review of the Skyrim: Anniversary Edition, they awarded the game four out of five stars, calling it "an appealing package even if it doesn't quite set the world on fire with essential content." The latest release of Skyrim comes with a bucketload of extra content for the now decade-old game, including 48 previously released and 26 new creation club items, all the original downloadable content, next-gen improvements, and the entire Special Edition as well.
Skyrim: Anniversary Edition
Skyrim: Anniversary Edition is currently available on PC, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, PS4, and PS5. Skyrim itself has sold around 20 million copies making it one of the highest-selling games ever, it is available on PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PlayStation 5, and, Xbox Series X|S.
Skyrim has a 94 right now on Metacritic and was developed by Bethesda Softworks and released on November 11 in, 2011. It is an open-world game, and it birthed the phrase, "See that mountain? You can climb it."
So if this leak is true, more people will be able to climb those mountains and hopefully experience some horse bugs. Fingers crossed!

Q: What does this code do? int mystery(int x, int n)
{
   return (x + (x>>31 & ((1 << n) + ~0))) >> n;
}

I have been trying to figure out how this  code works. This is what I have so far:

*

*shifts n left over one,

*adds that result to 1^32 (why?)

*ands this result to x shifted over to 31 (wouldn't this just clear the value of x>>31?)

*and right before it shifts by n, adds x (again, I don't understand why)

A: It divides by 2^n with correct rounding (round towards zero) so that the expression is equivalent to:
y = x / (1 << n);
If you take a naïve approach to division by 2^n, i.e.
y = x >> n;

you get incorrect rounding for x < 0.
This part of the expression: (x>>31 & ((1 << n) + ~0)) is equal to zero for x >= 0, but for x < 0 it adjusts the result appropriately by adding 2^n - 1.
Note that strictly speaking the expression relies on implementation-specific behaviour, as it assumes that right shifting a signed integer preserves the sign bit. While this is true for most compilers and platforms, it can not be guaranteed, so the expression is not 100% safe or portable.
Note also that the expression has a hard-coded assumption that int is 32 bits, which also makes it non-portable. A more portable version which works with any size of int would be:
   return (x + (x >> (sizeof(int) * CHAR_BIT - 1) & ((1 << n) + ~0))) >> n;

Liberty to Go to See is an annual dramatic event based on research from the Chew Family Papers and is performed in the Main House at Cliveden. The title comes from a letter from Joseph, an enslaved worker, to his master, Benjamin Chew, requesting permission to accept employment closer to his wife. The production features the lives of the indentured and enslaved workers for the Chew family from the 1760s through the 1860s—men and women whose stories are rarely heard.

The Issues: Explaining Hillary Clinton's And Donald Trump's Tax Plans
Published September 12, 2016 at 5:09 AM EDT
Renee Klahr
In some ways, Donald Trump and Hillary Clinton's tax plans are mirror images of each other.
With just under two months to go before the November election, we're taking a closer look at where the candidates stand on some key issues. We begin with the rival tax plans offered by Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump.
Opposite directions
In some ways, the candidates' tax plans are mirror images of one another. Trump's plan calls for substantial cuts in tax rates — with much of the savings going to the wealthiest households. That would take a bite out of federal revenues and increase the deficit. Clinton, on the other hand, sets out very deliberately to raise taxes on the very wealthy. That would generate a lot of extra money for the government, which she wants to use to pay for programs like subsidized college tuition.
Trump outlined the latest iteration of his plan in a speech last month to the Detroit Economic Club.
"I am proposing an across-the-board income tax reduction especially for middle-income Americans," Trump said. "This will lead to millions of new and really good-paying jobs. The rich will pay their fair share, but no one will pay so much that it destroys jobs or undermines our ability as a nation to compete."
Trump's plan would flatten the income tax system, leaving just three tax brackets. The top rate would fall from 39.6 percent today to 33 percent. (Trump initially proposed a top tax rate of just 25 percent, but modified his plan to look more like one from House Republicans. As a result, his plan no longer balloons the deficit by $10 trillion over a decade, though it does still add to the government's red ink.)
Clinton has yet to say how she would handle taxes for middle-income taxpayers, but she's proposing a significant tax increase for the very wealthy. She's renewing President Obama's call for the so-called Buffett rule — that is, a minimum tax rate of 30 percent for anyone making over a million dollars a year — as well as an extra 4 percent tax on incomes over $5 million. Like Obama, she also proposes limiting tax deductions for the very wealthy, to ensure they pay what she calls their "fair share":
"This is not because we resent success," Clinton said at the Democratic National Convention in July. "But when more than 90 percent of the gains have gone to the top 1 percent, that's where the money is. And we are going to follow the money."
Who benefits? Who pays?
Trump describes his plan as an across-the-board tax cut, but those at the top of the income ladder would see the biggest savings. Analysis of a similar plan from House Republicans by the conservative Tax Foundation estimated it would cut the tax bill of top earners by 5.3 percent, while taxpayers overall save less than 1 percent, all else being equal. (However, the foundation estimated that economic growth spurred by the tax cuts would boost income for all taxpayers.)
Under Clinton's plan, three-quarters of the additional taxes would be paid by those in the top 1 percent of the income scale, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center.
Help for the young and old
The candidates' dueling tax plans also offer carrots designed to encourage care for children and the elderly. Trump's plan offers a tax deduction for child care expenses. Like all tax deductions, that would be more valuable for wealthy families, who are taxed at a higher rate. But Trump has also talked about offering a deduction on payroll taxes, which would help a much broader cross-section of workers. At the other end of the age-spectrum, Clinton has proposed a tax credit for those caring for elderly relatives.
Trump released more information about his plan Tuesday, which would allow parents to deduct the average cost of child care from their taxes. Individuals making more than $250,000 (or couples making more than $500,000) would not be eligible. He has also promised to guarantee six weeks of paid maternity leave. A Trump adviser told NPR that the plan would be funded in part through cracking down on unemployment insurance fraud, though that would still leave a sizable gap in how to pay for the overall plan.
A common interest in "carried interest"
Both Clinton and Trump want to do away with something called the "carried interest loophole" that allows wealthy hedge fund managers to pay taxes on their income at a discounted rate. Eliminating the loophole wouldn't generate that much revenue for the U.S. Treasury. But it's a potent political symbol, and a way for two New York-based politicians to look as though they're getting tough on Wall Street.
Under Trump's plan, investment managers would no longer see their income taxed at a lower capital gains rate, but they could end up even better off, since Trump also wants to lower the business tax rate to 15 percent. Clinton proposes no change in the business tax rate. And she would raise the tax on capital gains for investments held less than six years.
Trump wants to eliminate the "estate tax," which applies to inherited wealth, and which Republicans typically disparage as the "death tax." Clinton, on the other hand, would increase the estate tax rate — from 40 percent to 45 percent — and lower the threshold at which it kicks in, from $5.45 million (or $10.9 million for couples) to $3.5 million (and $7 million for couples). Even with the lower threshold, only about 4 in 1,000 families would be subject to the estate tax. Most families don't have to worry about the government claiming part of their inheritance. Two wealthy families that would: the Clintons and the Trumps.

Be saturated with God's Love to Reach out to the lost world.
On My recent trip to Mombasa, my expectations were big and definitely I had plans laid out for the visit, from visiting my big sister to attending my friends function and definitely touring Mombasa town. You all know the excitement that comes along with having a vacation, right!! Before I left for the trip, I had my me time with God in my prayer closet and the Holy Spirit actually ministered to me in such a profound way, "Beaty you need to allow God's presence to go ahead of you and rely on His will not your own. Wah! That was profound; I had to slow down and surrender everything to God, to allow Him to take over , even though in my mind I had envisioned traveling to Mombasa to have fun.
My whole concept changed and my desire was, God to reveal Himself to me, despite the plans I had in place. Getting to Mombasa was much of listening and learning, what God had in store for me. This sounds out of the reality we are used to but we need to understand, God has many facets that He reveals His glory to us. My big sister and her family were actually hosting me for the visit, which was fun and wonderful as a busy damsel.
So during one of our tours as local tourists, we did visit Fort Jesus and I discovered something very interesting, which made me marvel at the wonders of God and how He demonstrates His nature. While standing beside fort Jesus facing the ocean, I discovered people were swimming at the edge of the ocean but near a sewer which had burst. First of all, I wondered whether these guys were okay in terms of mentally because that was such a great risk, in exposing one's health to such danger. This for me was out of place and out of curiosity, I had to ask my brother In-law, whether the people swimming were actually sober and if there were health risks involved.His response to my questions was mind blowing "the salt in the ocean water is usually too concentrated to allow micro-organisms in the sewer to survive, which are harmful to us.Once the ocean water gets into contact with the sewer the micro-organisms are destroyed hence the water is safe for people to swim.Wow! I was astonished by such discovery.
using the above simple illustration,i would like to describe how our lifestyles as Christians, ought to be saturated with God's love, truth, knowledge and revelation.Being saturated with God, makes it possible for whoever comes into contact with us be it a non-believer, a drug addict, an occultic or a prostitute,lives to be impacted positively. When we display a sincere lifestyle that reflects Jesus, which is full of love, compassion and not being judgmental, we end up winning more souls in God's kingdom than pushing them away. It's all about the nature of our hearts, a person who is bitter or angry will push away people because all they know is to wound other people.
Wounded people wound others, you cannot give what you do not have; you give people what you have.
Let's be real here, most non-believers tend to walk away from our faith because they don't admire what they see in some of us, which should not be the case.
So what do I mean being saturated in God!!! It's all about trusting God to work in us before we reach out to other people, in order to love on people with His love which is pure and sincere. Just like the ocean water, it does not matter how contaminated the sewer is but direct contact with the ocean water, changes the content in the sewer . That also needs to apply in our lives as believers, any contact we have with non-believers should leave a positive impact that will make them, desire Jesus Christ who dwells in us, not the other way round.
Mirror on God's word and Discover the TRUTH.
I pray that the sharing of your faith may become effective and powerful because of your accurate knowledge of every good thing which is ours in Christ.
And on some have compassion, making a distinction; but others save with fear, pulling them out of the fire hating even the garment defiled by the flesh.
It's your mandate to pray for your Nation & Those In Authority.

Tlaib getting help from Working Families super PAC
23rd July 2020	Off	By adpublisher
"Millions have taken to the streets to defend Black lives and demand a more just world, and they deserve representatives who reflect their passion and aspirations. Rashida's leadership on the BREATHE Act and COVID-19 relief efforts in Detroit show her commitment to Black lives," said Maurice "Moe" Mitchell, national director of the Working Families Party. "There's no question that Rashida is the candidate who best speaks to this movement and this moment."
Democrat Brenda Jones, the Detroit City Council president, is running against Tlaib. In 2018, Jones won a special election to briefly finish Rep. John Conyers Jr.'s term following his resignation. However, Tlaib finished first in that year's six-way primary for the full two-year term by 1 percentage point and was then elected in November.
In her 2020 New York primary, Ocasio-Cortez defeated her closest challenger, Michelle Caruso-Cabrera, by 53 points, according to nearly completed results. Antone Melton-Meaux is looking to unseat Omar in the Minnesota primary in August.
"Rashida Tlaib fought to keep families in their homes and kept the water going to Detroit residents in the midst of a pandemic. She continues to deliver relief to the folks who needed it most," said Detroit Action executive director Branden Snyder in a statement. "Rashida Tlaib is the unbought, unbossed leader that the people of the 13th District need, and Black and brown working people in Detroit have her back."
WFP staff said another reason it is getting involved in the race is that the Detroit Democratic establishment throwing its weight behind Jones. It has tussled with Democratic machines in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
The progressive left, long opposed to super PACs, has embraced them more in recent months. Earlier this year, senior aides to Bernie Sanders' 2020 presidential campaign launched two independent expenditures aimed at electing Joe Biden. The Working Families Party and Justice Democrats also teamed up to form a super PAC backing Jamaal Bowman, a middle-school principal who defeated longtime Rep. Eliot Engel in New York's June primary.

lance_chad2000 asked I currently have an unfinished basement and want to finish it. There are 3 pull cord lights down there now.?
I obviously want to put up nicer lighting than pull cords. What steps are involved in tying all three of the new lights together and running them to one switch so everything lights up at once with a flip of the switch? There is a switch already down there? It should be as simple enough as tying into the switch and then junctioning them all together correct?
