Cal State LA Food Pantry supports students with free curbside grocery service

The Cal State LA Food Pantry has launched a free curbside food pickup service to help meet the basic needs of students during the COVID-19 crisis.
The biweekly food distribution is a collaboration with the Division of Student Life, University Auxiliary Services and Dining Services and is the latest campus initiative to support Cal State LA students during the pandemic.
"The Food Pantry was a valuable resource before the pandemic," said Vice President for Student Life Nancy Wada-McKee. "But offering the program is even more critical now that so many students are experiencing job, housing and food insecurity."
Students receive an array of fresh food and non-perishable items, covering each of the five food groups. From grains and proteins to fruits and vegetables, nutrition is prioritized, Wada-McKee noted. Students can also choose vegetarian options.
Students can visit the Cal State LA Food Pantry webpage to get more information about utilizing this important campus resource.
The food distribution is the most recent Cal State LA initiative to assist students during a difficult and dynamic period.
The university has purchased thousands of laptops and Wi-Fi hotspots to help students with their virtual curriculum. Staff from Student Life, Information Technology Services and the University Library worked together to distribute the technology in recent weeks.
As part of its anchor mission to serve surrounding communities, Cal State LA has teamed up with the Los Angeles Regional Food Bank, Los Angeles County, the YMCA of Metropolitan Los Angeles and private-sector partners to distribute free food in recent months to thousands of families across Los Angeles. On Oct. 15, Cal State LA partnered with the YMCA of LA and Optimum Seismic Inc. to pass out food at the Crenshaw Family YMCA.

During the first week of the new Food Pantry program, which began on Oct. 12, Cal State LA provided a steady supply of groceries to students.
The process for students is simple: sign up, schedule a time and pick up the food. The distribution is handled smoothly and safely, adhering to guidance and protocols of the California Department of Public Health and Los Angeles County Department of Public Health.
As students pulled up to the loading dock behind the Golden Eagle building, staff members donning protective masks carried pre-assembled bags down a short set of steps to awaiting vehicles. A simple pop of the trunk or a rolled-down back window allowed staff members to place the grocery items in students' vehicles while maintaining a safe distance during the handoff.
The bags also contain flyers encouraging students to reach out to UAS Food Service Director and Executive Chef Daniel Keenan for cooking instructions, questions and suggestions.
In the future, the program plans to build on Keenan's expertise by including recipes in the bags and providing virtual cooking sessions with the executive chef.
"Our goal is to do all we can to make sure our students eat nutritious and delicious meals," Keenan said.
Donations to the Food Pantry can be made by visiting the Food and Housing Security Initiatives webpage.

Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) is the latest version of the Android platform for phones, tablets, and more. It builds on the things people love most about Android — easy multitasking, rich notifications, customizable home screens, resizable widgets, and deep interactivity — and adds powerful new ways of communicating and sharing.
Focused on bringing the power of Android to the surface, Android 4.0 makes common actions more visible and lets you navigate with simple, intuitive gestures. Refined animations and feedback throughout the system make interactions engaging and interesting. An entirely new typeface optimized for high-resolution screens improves readability and brings a polished, modern feel to the user interface.
Virtual buttons in the System Bar let you navigate instantly to Back, Home, and Recent Apps. The System Bar and virtual buttons are present across all apps, but can be dimmed by applications for full-screen viewing. You can access each application's contextual options in the Action Bar, displayed at the top (and sometimes also at the bottom) of the screen.
Multitasking is a key strength of Android and it's made even easier and more visual on Android 4.0. The Recent Apps button lets you jump instantly from one task to another using the list in the System Bar. The list pops up to show thumbnail images of apps used recently — tapping a thumbnail switches to the app.
The Recent Apps list makes multitasking simple.
Jump to the camera or see notifications without unlocking.
For incoming calls, you can respond instantly by text.
Rich and interactive notifications let you keep in constant touch with incoming messages, play music tracks, see real-time updates from apps, and much more. On smaller-screen devices, notifications appear at the top of the screen, while on larger-screen devices they appear in the System Bar.
New home screen folders offer a new way for you to group your apps and shortcuts logically, just by dragging one onto another. Also, in All Apps launcher, you can now simply drag an app to get information about it or immediately uninstall it, or disable a pre-installed app.
The All Apps launcher (left) and resizable widgets (right) give you apps and rich content from the home screen.
On smaller-screen devices, the home screen now includes a customizable favorites tray visible from all home screens. You can drag apps, shortcuts, folders, and other priority items in or out of the favorites tray for instant access from any home screen.
Home screens in Android 4.0 are designed to be content-rich and customizable. You can do much more than add shortcuts — you can embed live application content directly through interactive widgets. Widgets let you check email, flip through a calendar, play music, check social streams, and more — right from the home screen, without having to launch apps. Widgets are resizable, so you can expand them to show more content or shrink them to save space.
The lock screens now let you do more without unlocking. From the slide lock screen, you can jump directly to the camera for a picture or pull down the notifications window to check for messages. When listening to music, you can even manage music tracks and see album art.
When an incoming call arrives, you can now quickly respond by text message, without needing to pick up the call or unlock the device. On the incoming call screen, you simply slide a control to see a list of text responses and then tap to send and end the call. You can add your own responses and manage the list from the Settings app.
Android 4.0 makes managing notifications, recent apps, and browser tabs even easier. You can now dismiss individual notifications, apps from the Recent Apps list, and browser tabs with a simple swipe of a finger.
A spell-checker lets you find errors and fix them faster.
A powerful voice input engine lets you dictate continuously.
The soft keyboard in Android 4.0 makes text input even faster and more accurate. Error correction and word suggestion are improved through a new set of default dictionaries and more accurate heuristics for handling cases such as double-typed characters, skipped letters, and omitted spaces. Word suggestion is also improved and the suggestion strip is simplified to show only three words at a time.
To fix misspelled words more easily, Android 4.0 adds a spell-checker that locates and underlines errors and suggests replacement words. With one tap, you can choose from multiple spelling suggestions, delete a word, or add it to the dictionary. You can even tap to see replacement suggestions for words that are spelled correctly. For specialized features or additional languages, you can now download and install third-party dictionaries, spell-checkers, and other text services.
Android 4.0 introduces a powerful new voice input engine that offers a continuous "open microphone" experience and streaming voice recognition. The new voice input engine lets you dictate the text you want, for as long as you want, using the language you want. You can speak continously for a prolonged time, even pausing for intervals if needed, and dictate punctuation to create correct sentences. As the voice input engine enters text, it underlines possible dictation errors in gray. After dictating, you can tap the underlined words to quickly replace them from a list of suggestions.
Data usage controls let you monitor total usage by network type and application and then set limits if needed.
Mobile devices can make extensive use of network data for streaming content, synchronizing data, downloading apps, and more. To meet the needs of you with tiered or metered data plans, Android 4.0 adds new controls for managing network data usage.
In the Settings app, colorful charts show the total data usage on each network type (mobile or Wi-Fi), as well as amount of data used by each running application. Based on your data plan, you can optionally set warning levels or hard limits on data usage or disable mobile data altogether. You can also manage the background data used by individual applications as needed.
A variety of new features greatly enhance the accessibility of Android 4.0 for blind or visually impaired users. Most important is a new explore-by-touch mode that lets you navigate without having to see the screen. Touching the screen once triggers audible feedback that identifies the UI component below; a second touch in the same component activates it with a full touch event. The new mode is especially important to support users on new devices that use virtual buttons in the System Bar, rather than dedicated hardware buttons or trackballs. Also, standard apps are updated to offer an improved accessibility experience. The Browser supports a script-based screen reader for reading favorite web content and navigating sites. For improved readability, you can also increase the default font size used across the system.
The accessibility experience begins at first setup — a simple touch gesture during setup (clockwise square from upper left) activates all accessibility features and loads a setup tutorial. Once accessibility features are active, everything visible on the screen can be spoken aloud by the standard screen reader.

Fred Hutch researchers are unraveling the causes of rheumatoid arthritis and identifying potential new treatments.
Our researchers are conducting studies to understand the relationship of pregnancy and jobs to the potential for developing arthritis. One researcher has found that pregnancy temporarily relieves rheumatoid arthritis symptoms.
Rheumatoid arthritis is one of the most common chronic autoimmune diseases, in which the body's immune system attacks its own tissues. Like other autoimmune diseases, it disproportionately affects women.
The hallmark feature of rheumatoid arthritis is inflammation of the joints, especially small joints, but it may also affect other tissues and organs. It is different from the most common form of arthritis, osteoarthritis, which typically occurs as a result of trauma or advancing age.
Current therapy for rheumatoid arthritis focuses on reducing the inflammatory response and treating the uncontrolled inflammation. Although a number of different therapies are effective, some patients experience disease progression that is resistant to all known therapies. Currently there is no therapy known to prevent rheumatoid arthritis.
Unraveling the link between jobs and autoimmune disease — Several types of occupations have been linked to systemic autoimmune diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, which affect multiple organs. Research by Dr. Anneclaire De Roos and colleagues has shown that jobs like nursing and teaching, which expose people to members of the general public, were associated with decreased survival from a systemic autoimmune disease. The researchers suggested that this higher risk may be due to exposure to multiple infectious agents, leading to an autoimmune response. Other occupations, including farming, mining, textile machine operation and logging, also showed an elevated risk of death from systemic autoimmune disease.

Биография
Уроженец Дерби. В составе «Болтона» дебютировал в 1951 году матчем на «Бернден Парк» против «Вулверхэмптона», отыграв шесть матчей за резервистов: на момент дебюта ему было 15 лет и 267 дней, что сделало Рэя Пэрри самым молодым дебютантом Футбольной лиги Англии, перебив рекорд Джимми Маллена (дебютировал в возрасте 16 лет за «Вулверхэмптон»). Играл на позиции инсайд-форварда (оттянутого нападающего), в 1958 году выиграл Кубок Англии в составе «Болтона» (на пути к финалу забил четыре мяча).

Всего за свою карьеру игрока провёл 544 матча за «Болтон», «Блэкпул» и «Бери». В 1960 году ушёл в «Блэкпул», в 1964 году — в «Бери». Провёл две игры за сборную Англии против Шотландии и Северной Ирландии.

 Пэрри назывался нередко «Дэвидом Бекхэмом своей эпохи» (). Сверстники отмечали, что нередко Рэй разражался на поле приступами неконтролируемого смеха, хотя среди незнакомых людей вёл себя крайне тихо. После ухода из футбола он работал на Ньюпорт-стрит, управляя газетным киоском.

Скончался 23 мая 2003 года от рака. Поминальная служба прошла в церкви Святого Андрея в Овер-Халтоне, тело кремировано в Овердейле.

Семья
Был женат, оставил двух дочерей. Четверо его братьев также стали футболистами:  играл за «Дерби Каунти»,  — за «Ноттс Каунти», Рег и Глинн — за любительские клубы (Рег за «Плимут Аргил», Глинн — за «Гресли Роверс» и резерв «Дерби Каунти»). В то же время его старшие братья Майкл и Терри в футбол не играли.

It is a scheme that allows social housing tenants to purchase a dwelling from the Council. Initially the purchaser will only have to purchase part of the equity in the property. This scheme will replace previous Tenant Purchase Schemes.
Social housing applicants/tenants with a minimum earned income of €15,000 per annum are eligible. Applicants must be in employment.
Applicants with a poor credit history, a record of anti-social behaviour or who have already purchased a property from the Council are not eligible for the scheme.
The applicant purchases equity in the house with a mortgage. The table below shows the equity applicants can purchase based on their income.
The Council's charge on the property for the unpurchased equity is reduced by 2% per annum for the period set out in the table above. The reduction does not take effect until after 5 years, at which stage 10% reduction is applicable.
The price is set by the Council.
Can the property be sold by the purchaser?


If you are building a house or garage it's worth checking your plans don't involve building over a Council drain.
Many councils, including Christchurch City Council, have a policy against building over drains – including water, wastewater and stormwater pipes.
In the case of Christchurch this is so the Council's maintenance and renewal contractors can check, repair and replace drains quickly and efficiently without the possibility of causing damage to private property.
Cause or allow the entry into any drain or fitting any material or thing except such matter that is normally discharged through a residential drain.
Enter any drain, pumping station building or related accessory, or any wastewater treatment area.
Operate, remove, cover or interfere with any cover of any manhole, inlet or other equipment associated with any drain.
Erect any structure, other than a boundary fence, over, or within a distance of one metre from the side of any public drain.
Within a parallel distance of one metre from the nearest part of any public drain.

LATEST EXPRESS ENTRY CUT-OFF SCORE DECLINES: 3,350 INVITATIONS ISSUED
Immigration Update
admin April 27, 2019 No Comments
In the latest Express Entry draw held on April 3, 2019, Canada invited 3350 candidates to apply for permanent residency with the Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) score of 451.
The CRS score for this draw dropped by 1 point compared to the CRS score cut-off for the last draw held on March 20, 2019. It is the third draw in a row that has seen a drop in the cut-off score, which is said to be the result of a consistent interval of two weeks between the draws.
Similar to the last two draws, the tie-break rule was applied by IRCC for April 3, 2019, draw; the tie-break was set at January 9, 2019, at 07:35:09 UTC, which means that candidates with a CRS score above 451, who had entered the Express Entry pool before the said date and time were issued an Invitation to Apply (ITA) in this draw.
With 24,550 invitations issued so far, 2019 is set to be another big year for Express Entry. Keeping in view the pace of draws being held, it is evident that 2019 will issue more ITAs than 2018, which closed at a record figure of 89,800.
On comparing the ITA results for both April 3, 2018, and April 3, 2019, it can be observed that the current year exceeds the ITAs received last year by 7,050 ITAs. It is for the fifth time in a row that the IRCC has issued 3,350 Invitations to Apply (ITAs) to the Express Entry candidates. However, the Express Entry draws held in January 2019, issued ITAs to 3,900 candidates in each draw. Looking into the latest trends, it is speculated that cut-off score will continue to drop in the forthcoming Express Entry draws.
Express Entry – 2019
Date of Draw CRS Score Cut-Off ITAs Issued
April 3, 2019 451 3,350
March 20, 2019 452 3,350
March 6, 2019 454 3,350
February 20, 2019 457 3,350
January 30, 2019 438 3,350
Also, Canada's 2019-2020 higher admissions targets will result in an increase in the number of draws. The Express Entry system manages three major immigration categories including, the Federal Skilled Worker Class, Federal Skilled Trades Class, and Canadian Experience Class. The candidates who meet the eligibility criteria for the above categories are assigned a CRS score. The candidates then enter into the Express Entry pool, where their applications are ranked accordingly.
The next step involves holding Express Entry draws and issuing an Invitation to Apply (ITA) for Canadian permanent residence to a set number of highest-ranked candidates.
More invitations are expected to be issued over the coming weeks, months, and years, benefiting individuals and families around the world who seek Permanent Residence in Canada.

HOUSTON (July 10, 2017) – Since August 2015, eight countries and regions improved their benzene levels, either moving up in their ranking or being newly added to the Top 100 list in Stratas Advisors' report ranking countries on benzene limits in gasoline. The report confirms a continued worldwide movement toward lower benzene content in gasoline and identifies several countries that are positioned to make advances in this area due to developing policy initiatives.
Stratas Advisors' map shows current maximum gasoline benzene limits worldwide as of June 2017.
Providing new information since the last ranking.
South Korea tops the list with the lowest benzene limit - 0.7 vol% - while EU countries dominate the top 35 nations carrying the world's strictest benzene limits. Since 2000, the EU has enforced benzene-free gasoline, requiring less than 1 vol% of benzene in gasoline. In the 2017 listing, Libya ranked at 100th place with a limit of 4 vol% as compared to 5 vol% from the 2015 list, which generally indicates reduction in benzene limits across the board.
The report summary can be found under Stratas' Insights, and the full report is available to members of Stratas Advisors' Global Fuels Specifications service, which holds the complete list of rankings and other key information about benzene content in gasoline.

Computers headed to Washoe County students in need.
By Terri Russell
Published: Sep. 2, 2020 at 5:13 PM PDT
RENO, Nev. (KOLO) - 12,000 computers are needed to fulfill students' needs here in Washoe County.
3% of that need was met on Wednesday September 2, 2020 thanks to the Assistance League and the Education Alliance.
The Assistance League says they make donations to various organizations throughout the year. But this donation seemed the most pressing.
That is why the league pulled funds from other programs to make this donation happen right now.
"We diverted other funds that would have gone to other things and put them into computers because we saw that as a need," says Carol Harrinan, President of the Assistance League. "And we wanted to stay as flexible as possible and help the community however we needed to," she says.
While the school district is applying for grants and filling out forms to receive even more computers, the Education Alliance says this private public partnership was able to get the computers into hands faster.
"We can actually do that through private donations," says Kendall Inskip, Executive Director of the Education Alliance. "The school district is working very hard ln grants and other money sources through the government and so forth. But we are doing it with private donations and the generosity through our community," she says.
Washoe County Superintendent Kristen McNeill told the state education board last week, the district should have all 12,000 computers by December. Half of the computers should be in the district by October.
Money to purchase those computers is coming from several sources including the CARES Act, a grant from the city of Reno, and funds generated from Assembly Bill 3, legislation passed last month during a special session of the Nevada Legislature and signed by the governor.


I have set up over 800 plans in 27 years. I only continue in this business because I know how to give everyone the very best value for your money. I am one of the very few who will show you what all the funeral homes and cemeteries charge from the beginning. Then we choose the package of services and merchandise that will work best for you and your family.
Funerals have become expensive because funeral homes know they can get away it. Never-ending price increases at expensive funeral homes is something they want you to accept as "reality." But the reality is, not every funeral home raises prices, and not every funeral home is expensive. You just have to know who they are. There won't be any sacrifice in quality once you know who they are.
Burial costs are also over-priced at many of the big chain companies in the same way. If you already own plots or cemetery property at one of these companies, you can still cut your costs quite a bit.
A burial vault is required at all cemeteries. It is to prevent the ground from settling. A sealed vault will not preserve the body, only the casket. You only need a basic concrete "grave liner" or grave box.
A vault with "setting fee" (setting means placing the vault in an already open grave) should not cost more than $1,500. "Opening & Closing" (digging) varies from cemetery to cemetery, and it depends on whether it is a weekend or holiday. The chain memorial parks are charging around $1,000 for opening and closing, city cemeteries significantly less. Vault setting is often free of charge at city cemeteries.
The earth is compacted to prevent settling. This can only be done with a vault or concrete grave box. A casket alone would be crushed easily. The concrete vault is buried first. Then the casket is lowered into the vault. The lid is placed on the vault, and then the compacting is done. Sod is laid over the grave when compacting is completed.
What is important about your subject area?
The most important points about final expense planning that I outline emphasize taking control so that your family can never be 'sold' something that is not very good.
What do people need to know about the topic?
They need to know 1) exactly who to work with, and 2) how to do homework on their own before meeting with anyone.
Why do you do seminars on the subjects?
I like group settings because there are more good, pertinent questions and intelligent exchanges. In the past, I too often experienced fear and distrust with a senior couple or individual alone. Even though they usually trusted me after a short while, they still felt they didn't want to "make a decision alone." When I introduced seminars into my work, I noticed that people the same age and in roughly the same circumstances appreciated conversing with their peers and myself about their concerns. I thought it was beneficial for everyone.
What pitfalls do people need to avoid?
There are many pitfalls to avoid which are explained more thoroughly on my Web pages. I distill all the biggest pitfalls into one seminar, so when attendees go home they are 'armed' to do further planning properly.
What lessons do people learn the hard way?
The lessons people learn the hard way always end up with the family over-paying when they did not have to. They learn the hard way also that not doing their homework is costly and frustrating in the end. They are too "trusting" of salespeople who may not have their family's best interests in mind.
What benefits will you offer to participants?
I offer the opportunity to become educated in a short period of time with no sales pressure. I do check with everyone after a period of time to find out if they would like to meet and go over their situation thoroughly. I offer a couple of plan suggestions. Usually I show them a plan with Premier Funeral Services, but they are numerous other good options.
They will learn which Web sites, including mine, that will give the best final expense planning information. They will get a workbook to use, which may be particularly useful if Internet access is limited. For example, some seniors have only an hour or two each day to use on the Internet and that may not even be on their computer or device, so having a paper notebook is essential.
If offer the most comprehensive funeral and final expense planning options at the best possible price.
What do you want participants to remember from the session?
I want every participant to remember that they have the power to easily take control of funeral and final expense planning (which includes cremation options). They don't have to accept or be sold anything that feels wrong or is expensive. They can cover a lot of ground quickly and make the right choices the first time.
Almost nobody regrets meeting with me, either individually in their homes or at my seminars. There is no pressure. But I am so thorough and to the point that about 80% of my participants set up plans with me. If it is already covered financially, they can at least use the information to ensure their family makes the right decisions at the time of need.

Ali Saleem
Ali Saleem (Urdu: علی سلیم), best known by his alter-ego Begum Nawazish Ali, is a Pakistani television host, actor, scriptwriter and impressionist. He broke into the mainstream audiences through his impersonations of late prime minister Benazir Bhutto, and later and playing the cross-dressing Begum Nawazish Ali on various television channels, including the Aaj TV network, Dawn News and Geo TV network. His alter ego of Begum Nawazish Ali has now become his primary persona as he rarely appears as the male Ali Saleem. He is a bisexual man born to a retired colonel father in Pakistan Army and his wife, a former government official.
Biologically born a male, Ali has sometimes called himself gay, bisexual or at other times even a transsexual.
Early life and being Ali Benazir
Born in Islamabad to a colonel in the Pakistan Army. From a young age, he desired and fantasized about being a woman. It was in his teens that he got to do a play for Yasmeen Ismail at the Arts Council clad in a burqa offering the audience with his monologue that people saw his inner lady come out. They would flock him and ask him in disbelief of how a child can impersonate a woman older than his age. Ali now says that because his audience was older than his age then, he felt he matured earlier. Ali took his early life education from Cadet College Hasanabdal,Attock and later went to Froebel's International School for A'level

Finally a real man should be the title of this episode! I thought both the writer and director were playing with the audience this week. Will Mohid turn into the usual Shakki mard of our dramas and spin into some kind of depression or do something dumb … but no He stood tall and walked away from Anmol's baiting with complete confidence . Love that attitude! In real life men are not constantly thinking their wives are going to have an affair. I must say I love Mohid's sangfroid; after all he has plenty of evidence to the contrary but only Mishal's word that Anmol doesn't care about Farid.
Mohid is no fool and he is a business man with a lot of experience and he has had to handle the likes of Zulekha and Sabiha all his life, so Anmol kiss kheyt ki mooli hai. I hope his confidence and strength of character last.
Is it just me or is there anyone else who cannot understand Sabha's problem? Why doesn't she just tell her mother, as Zulekha says they are all adults? I can understand that it must be embarrassing and maybe even frightening but come on Sabiha put your big girl pants on and take a stand. This is why I get so annoyed with bholi larkiyan … Sabiha has led such a sheltered life that making her own decisions is always difficult even at this stage of life . Maybe she doesn't want to hurt her mother but there are limits to filial loyalty especially if she is going to be mother.
I just loved the scene between Zulekha and Anmol today: Game and match point to the mother in law, I say. Saba Hamid as always in brilliant form both as Saas and mother. I adore Zulekha's character, she is never quite as mean and or as dominating as she wishes to appear. Her attempts at ordering her servants around always somehow fail.
So this was again Humayoon Saeed's episode: smooth confident and cool he and Mohid were very much in control. Needless to say Mehwish and Humayoon look amazing together. Now let's see where Anmol's adventuring takes her.. ….And how long Mohid's patience lasts.
The Mishaal /Dastagir game was on this week. Imran Ashraf has a good handle on his character and keeps him interesting by not always going for the slapstick. So Dastagir has both sisters confused now. Mishaal was convinced Mohid was not the bad guy now she is not so sure and Anmol is convinced Mohid is Bhatta khore .. Well Anmol is just looking for reasons because that monumental ego of hers just doesn't want to accept any evidence to the contrary.
Meanwhile well done team Dillagi for yet another fun, enjoyable episode. This is an exceptionally well made drama, which never fails. Director Nadeem Baig and writer Faiza Iftikhar make quite a team. I really wish they would make a film sometime; in fact Dillagi would have been a great movie.
Enjoyed the review Sadaf. And the ep. HS is super cool.
My only complaint – ARY puts of all those circus shows (nothing Ramzan like about ahad Mustafa getting people to pay cheap games) at prime time and leaves this for 10.30 or later. Have to wait endlessly for it 😦 Not cool ARY!

Daryl Hall, John Oates New CD Set Highlights Genius
Winchester 10 years ago No Comments
Daryl Hall and John Oates; Photo by Mark Maglio
Daryl Hall and John Oates' four-CD set, "Do What You Want; Be What You Are," is nothing short of staggeringly magnificent. The short read is that it reminds you once again what a compelling team of writers and performers Hall & Oates were and still are.
Their run of Top Ten singles in the early '80s remains unparalleled. That said, their music, while displaying an amazing talent, clearly illustrates what depth, what compassion and what talent lies with these two gentlemen. I had the rare pleasure of seeing them early on.
Hell, I was even born in Philly, too, so, I felt I shared some home-town affinity. Their talent, even back in the '70s, was nothing short of awesome.
Daryl has perfect pitch, meaning that when he sings something, he usually nails it on the first take. He was and is so good, that he can fully concentrate on making his voice do other things, like sudden ad-libs and modulating his voice. That voice, for me, is right up there with Ray Charles and Willie Nelson. It is, spot-on!
I, along with probably many of you, first became aware of H&O when their Abandoned Luncheonette (1973) album came and feature the luscious song "Sara Smile." I'd never heard anything like it before and still to this day that recording retains such innocence, such beauty.
It's a truly classic track, as well as "Las Vegas Turnaround" and "Had I Known You Better", which were each classics on their own.
The story was that their record label at the time, Atlantic, had wanted them to rock out a bit more and so began their infamous hook up with star producer/artist Todd Rundgren, resulting in the amazing War Babies album (1974).
Truth be told, I had almost totally forgotten about that album and listening to the tracks on the set immediately brought back the memories and the reasons I loved it so: Tremendously daring, brilliantly written; and performed like nothing else I'd had ever heard.
Rundgren, on a conceptual high at the time, was simply flawless. And, using H&O's vocals was a nice little trick, too.
Daryl Hall and John Oates in 1978
I read a bunch of reviews on that album recently and the contributors either said, "It sounded more like a Todd Rundgren album" or, "it was the best album ever from H&O." I think, in retrospect, both opinions are/were true.
"You're Much Too Soon" and "Is It A Star" from that album are here and stopped me dead in my tracks. Five unreleased LIVE tracks from 1975 are included and are just dazzling.
It was most interesting in hearing the various configurations of bands they had in those days. "Lady Rain," a great album track, was simply dazzling here, as was "Beanie G. And The Rose Tattoo." My great friend back then, was Ruth Gonzalez, who worked for H&O and I always felt it should have been titled "Ruthie G And The Rose Tattoo."
Then came "Camellia," "Sara Smile," " Back Together Again," "Rich Girl," "Kiss On My List," "Private Eyes, " "I Can't Go For That," "Maneater," "Method Of Modern Love" and one record that I was actually saw recorded, "Adult Education," with Nile Rogers.
Daryl and John were working with Rogers, Arthur Baker, and Bob Clearmountain in those heady, heady days. I even think there were a few of the Kid Creole & The Coconuts band on that one, too.
Then they worked with The Temptations and everything kind of came to a halt. Management changes, Tommy Mottola came and went; Randy Hoffman too. Record labels changed. It was a transitional time for all.
I think it just had to come to a stop. Once you hit the top (and, H&O kept hitting it), there's only one place to go.
Oates' song "Possession Obsession" sort of summed up that whole period. Even he said, "It was really about the excess of the 80s; bigger toys, more sex, more drugs, more money. So it was me kind of giving myself a little warning and make a statement about what I was observing."
Some serious stuff definitely transpired during this time. It hasn't been written about and may never be, but pieces come out. Whatever happened, things were re evaluated and re assessed.
Then came the album Change of Season and very clearly, a change was in the works. Daryl and John had been handling the production chores and then, T Bone Wolk took the reins and a new sound developed… much more akin to the Abandoned Luncheonette days. it was subtle yet as rich as ever.
This tremendous set represents the years from 1966-2009 and the one thing you notice straight away is how H&O's vocal work is as clear and distinctive as ever.
They've long since surpassed Simon and Garfunkel and the Everly Brothers in the annals of pop pairings. They've scored no less than 22 Top 20 singles, including six number ones, six platinum albums plus another six gold LPs.
Their sound is a reassuring one; terrific talent to match, with a terrific body of work.
This set is as important a re-issue as last year's Pacific Ocean Blue. Terrific notes by L.A.-scribe Roy Trakin and a meticulously arranged and written book, with notes and photos and thoughts. It's a worthy addition to any serious music collection. For me, I love these guys!
Short Takes:
Abigail Spencer, the fantastic Miss Farrell on this season's "Mad Men" has been inked for a new NBC pilot called "Rex Is Not Your Lawyer," which enters on one Rex Alexander, a top Chicago litigator who begins suffering panic attacks and takes up coaching clients to represent themselves in court. Spencer will essay an ambitious lawyer at Rex's law firm who is also his fiancée. Sounds complicated, right? Spencer's run as the teacher of the Draper's two children, who had a lurid affair with father Don was terrifically inspired, and at least for this viewer, made her run a real highpoint of the season
Lorraine Bracco from "The Sopranos" is attached to a new show called "Rizzoli." Based on Tess Gerritsen's Jane Rizzoli mystery novels, the show will revolve around the crime-solving team of Boston police detective Rizzoli (Angie Harmon) and one Maura Isles, to be essayed by Sasha Alexander. Bracco will play Rizzoli's mother, who despite her tough exterior is a loyal wife and mother of three. Sounds like a crime-solving new TV season is in store!
My Name Is Earl" star Jason Lee is jumping back into TV as the lead in "Delta Blues," which will be exec produce by George Clooney. The hour-long show centers on Dwight Hendricks (Lee), a Memphis police officer who lives with his mother and moonlights as an Elvis-impersonator. For my money, this sounds like a total scream!
The voices of Shirley Bassey and Sean Connery have been drawn together on a feature for the first time since both were involved in "Goldfinger" back in 1964. Bassey's been signed to sing "Guardian of the Highlands," the title song for the forthcoming CGI animated feature "Sir Bill." Connery leads the voice cast. "Goldfinger" was Connery's third Bond film and her biting vocal helped the song become an international pop hit, reaching the top 10 in the U.S. The movie centers on a skate-boarding retired veterinarian who lives in a remote Scottish village and spearheads the rescue of a fugitive – who happens to be a beaver!
Mary J. Blige, Neil Diamond, Sugarland, Rob Thomas and Usher will perform for TNT's "Christmas In Washington" special, set for December 20.
"I'm still working on it. I got a lot to do in a short period of time; I shouldn't even be here." That's how director Tim Burton described the status of his "Alice In Wonderland" at this week's MOMA retrospective of his work. The film is due early in 2010.

Sell My MetroWest Home | When Should I Reduce My List Price?
You are here: Home / Blog / Sell My MetroWest Home Tips / When Should I Reduce My List Price?
It can be disappointing when your home isn't selling as fast as you thought is was. When you set a listing price for your home, unless you and your agent misread the market, you expect your home to sell by a certain time. So what do you do when your expectations haven't been met yet? It may be time to reduce your price and re-think the marketing strategy. It's important to understand when it's a good time to reduce your price.
In today's market, there is relatively low inventory, and lots of buyers. Homes are selling fast. So when your home is in a hot market, and it's not selling, the market is trying to tell you something: your home is overpriced. If you aren't seeing much activity in your home, or have been getting feedback from buyers that are expressing it's over priced, it's time to sit down with your real estate agent.
If you've hired a real estate agent, you obviously trust him or her to guide you through the process of selling your home. If your real estate agent suggests a price reduction, it may be in your best interest to consider it. Nobody knows the business like a real estate agent. They know what buyers want and, in most cases, what they are willing to pay. If you've trusted a real estate agent enough to hire them, trust them enough to value their opinion.

CUP's Alastair Horne wrote last week in this space about how the #dearpublisher hashtag was developing a digital conversation directed at publishers on Twitter. Over the past few days my colleague Victoria Gallagher has been asking (offline) for publisher responses to the conversation. Most agreed with Alastair that this was a unique way of getting to understand their customers, be they booksellers, librarians or readers.
We talked about the story briefly in our weekly news meeting today, where we discuss the length and positioning of the stories we plan to run in the weekly printed magazine. One question (in terms of the wider news agenda) was to work out the value of the conversation, in relation to everything else that takes place on Twitter but also what is happening in publishing offline. This is important: we don't want to take up costly print space with news about nothing, but neither do we want to relegate to brief status a news story with a more significant impact.
So I found this site: http://wthashtag.com, which gives stats for the past seven days.
It tells me that there have been 1,165 tweets referencing #dearpublisher, from 563 contributors, at an average of 166.4 tweets per day (though more than 700 were generated on one day alone with the number of tweets now dropping), compared with, for example, the current trending topic #weallgotthatonefriend which has generated 6,972 tweets, from 4,435 contributors today, or long-time favourite wthashtag.com/Followfriday, which over the past week has been referenced in 31,343 tweets, from 14,959 contributors.
But http://wthashtag.com only looks at the past seven days, beginning on the 15th, two days after the publishing hashtag was first used. In fact according to Google Search the peak of the activity was the day before wthashtag.com's records begin. So I'd be tempted to double (at least) the absolute tally of individual tweets.
So we are running it on page 6, a significant spot worth about 350 words in editorial space, but not one of the front news pages. Even in a quiet week for news that feels about right. But, I wonder, might we have felt differently had more than 500 people turned up to a seminar to talk about publishing? Are we underplaying the significance because it is on Twitter and appears to be worth more than the sum of its tweets? Or are we overplaying it because of all the hype that surrounds Twitter?

Q: Regex to get at least X lines between Keywords I am trying to match using regex all defintions of some SQL Stored Procedures with a length of at least 1000 lines from within a large script file. These start with CREATE PROCEDURE and the only reliable indicator for an end is the CREATE PROCEDURE of a new proc.
(?i)(CREATE PROCEDURE)(.*\n){10,}(CREATE PROCEDURE|EOF)

Here is an example and what I have tried so far:
https://regex101.com/r/yVOZJk/1
I fail to negate the CREATE PROCEDURE keywords within the boundaries.
P.S.: The script file only contains stored procedures, no need to think about other boundaries.

A: You might use a repeating pattern which checks if the line starts with CREATE PROCEDURE or EOF.
If it does not, then match the whole line. If you only want the match, you cold omit the capturing group around CREATE PROCEDURE.
(?i)CREATE PROCEDURE.*(?:\r?\n(?!CREATE PROCEDURE|EOF).*)*

Explanation

*

*(?i) Inline modifier case insensitive

*CREATE PROCEDURE.* Match CREATE PROCEDURE followed by matching 0+ times any char except a newline

*(?: Non capturing group

*

*\r?\n(?!CREATE PROCEDURE|EOF) Match newline, assert what is directly on the right is not CREATE PROCEDURE| or EOF

*.* If that is the case, match any char except newline 0+ times

*)* Close non capturing group and repeat 0+ times

Regex demo

A: You may use this regex:
(?i)CREATE PROCEDURE(?:.*\n){11,}(?=CREATE PROCEDURE|EOF|\z)

RegEx Demo

*

*(?:.*\n){11,} expression will match 11 or more lines following starting keyword CREATE PROCEDURE. Reason why this is one more than 10 because first .*\n is used to match same line start starts with CREATE PROCEDURE.

*Lookahead assertion (?=CREATE PROCEDURE|EOF|\z) makes sure there is a presence of CREATE PROCEDURE or EOF or end of input ahead of current position.

This place was recommended by a friend whose son attended VA Tech. The chips and salsa were excellent. We substituted the flour tacos for the corn tacos which were hand made. Son has the carnitas and it was very good. He had the jalapeño cheddar mashed potatoes on the side and were very good. My wife had the honey soy salmon tacos and she really liked them. I had the taco bowl without the taco and it was plentiful and spicy. Also very good.
The service was excellent. Apparently they have won best restaurant three years in a row. Definitely worth checking out.
I am never disappointed with ODB's bakery items! The giant gingerbread men at Christmas, darling sugar cookies for any and every holiday/season, the challah bread, the cranberry orange strudel, the macaroons, and now the cupcakes for Valentine's Day.
Today I bought some sugar cookies and while removing it from the tray a corner broke of. The cashier didn't charge me for it which I thought was really nice.
I always stop buy to get something for a hostess gift to bring with me if I am going out of town.
We met local friends here based on their recommendation and proximity to the Lyric Theater, our post dinner destination.
No a fancy place but comfortable. Not vegetarians but do enjoy occasional meat-less meals.
Menu provides lots of choices with fish, black bean burgers, tofu and vegetables. The South Meets Southwest and a special with fried catfish, veggies and potato cakes were tasty choices.
Service was attentive. no problem eating and making showtime. Great choice.
The Cellar Restaurant and 6-Pak Beer Store is located in downtown Blacksburg Virginia directly across from Va Tech campus. We have been serving Greek and American food since 1963. Our signature dishes include homemade Meat Lasagne, Greek spaghetti, Moussaka, Tiropita, Spanakopita with tzatziki sauce, Pasta Aegean with shrimp, Spinach salad and Greek Salads, Mushroom and Shrimp Raviolis, 6144 different Calzone combinations and The Best Pizza south of Chicago. We also have an expanded Beer shop with over 300 different beers from all over the world.
My family of four ate here on a Thursday night. We had to wait for a table to vacate and be cleared but not too long. My daughters ordered lasagna, I had salad and Margherita pizza, and hubby had a calzone. We also had a pitcher of good, cold beer. Food and service were very good. We look forward to a return visit.
For a college town, Blacksburg can be unfortunately short on fine dining, but Black Hen get it done. Small space, but good attention from staff. I dined alone at the bar and was impressed by both the food and the wine selection. The braised pork chop over Byrd Mill grits with kale two ways was a great update to an American classic. The butternut squash soup with radish chili as to die for. House-made sorbet for dessert was also excellent. I will go back the next time I'm in town.
Macado's is a Blacksburg staple. Take your college student here for an off-campus treat. Extensive menu. Grilled cheese highly recommended. Service can be slow, so give yourself plenty of time to relax and enjoy the oddities and collectibles on display throughout the multi-story building.
The main focus at Gaucho is to better serve our patrons with great service, tasting food and well balanced nutritional choices, always looking for fresh, safe and quality food from local goods and sustainable food suppliers as our first choice.
Wanting to go somewhere other than a chain we checked out some other reviews it payed off.
This place is so quaint and everything we had as recommended by our waiter Tillman was fabulous!!
Brigadeiro for dessert. The fried tapioca was so different and so good.
Since the restaurant was not taking reservations for brunch, we knew that we would have to wait for seating. When we arrived, we were told that our wait would be about 30 minutes. During our wait, we noticed that small parties were able to wait in the bar area. No biggie... but then we noticed that some of those people had come back and asked if they could take a table in the bar area if it was open. It appeared to us that they were taking tables even though these tables were part of the wait. At 35 minutes, I asked for an update. We were still 5th down on the list and had waited over the projected time. It didn't seem right. There were people who had come in after us and were already going to the buffet.
At 45 minutes, I asked again and informed the hostess that we were concerned about our wait since it seemed that other people were going ahead of us.
Both hostesses displayed an attitude and were annoyed by my inquiries. They weren't impolite, but they did speak to me as though they were angry with me and they're faces were full of attitude.
We were seated shortly after my inquiry which I appreciate. 50 minutes... During our meal, I saw the hostesses working their butts off later clearing tables and seating people.
The food was okay but not great.
Overall, if your hostesses can't estimate times and seat people properly during such a busy time as Sunday brunch, then you should take reservations and take the pressure off of them. But I guess if the greed of trying stack people into your restaurant overrides the pleasantness of an organized and calm reservation process, then you should expect the chaos and complaints that come with the seating process of first come, first serve. No wait; that's not what necessarily happens here.
3 things about our experience: 1) really poor service; 2) food was terrible; 3) we had a simple request through our reservations that servers neglected. We sat for 25 minutes before we received water. Food finally served, could have been prepared in anyone's kitchen -- is Chef Boy-Ar-Dee cooking at Zeppoli's ? Sauce was tasteless, bread served was basically white bread. Nightly special -- shrimp in salad -- was so mediocre.
What happened to this place ??
Located on the corner of Main Street and Washington, in the heart of downtown Blacksburg and locally owned and operated, we are a full service restaurant. Join us for a Mellow experience complete with our gourmet pies made to order on the stone, calzones, hoagies, salads, munchies and desserts. Full service bar and patio with one of the largest craft beer selections in town including 60 taps and 40+ bottles.

SCOTTISH GOVERNMENT CALLS FOR .SCOT INTERNET DOMAIN
The Scottish government has sought fresh backing for the creation of an internet domain for Scotland.
Not-for-profit company Dot Scot Registry (DSR) was set up two years ago to push for the establishment of .scot.
The UK government, which has responsibility for internet governance, has been asked to support the bid.
The new effort to have .scot created follows an announcement that applications for new top level domains (TLDs) will be sought in 2012.
Inverness Chamber of Commerce, which has been campaigning for businesses to be given improved internet links, said the domain would be welcome.
The International Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) will accept submissions over three months from 12 January.
Alex Neil, cabinet secretary for infrastructure and capital investment, said the Scottish government had been supporting DSR's work.
He said: "I am sure the UK government with its responsibility for internet governance will want to support us.
"Across the board support would undoubtedly strengthen our hand and build momentum behind the bid."
Mr Neil added: "DotScot will be a wonderful asset for establishing a distinctive online identity for many organisations and people who have been described as the worldwide family of Scots and want to demonstrate that identity online."
Two years ago, Inverness Chamber of Commerce raised concerns about slow broadband speeds in the Highland with communications regulator Ofcom.
At the time it said the internet was too slow for firms to trade effectively online.
The chamber's chief executive Stewart Nicol said: "We would be supportive of a Scotland internet domain.
"It would give us a local identity over the internet."
But he added: "We are still actively campaigning on broadband speeds because of the lack of capability and connectivity pretty much across all of the Highlands."

Maris Schilling
Inducted 2021
Maris Schilling always pushed to make things better. She pushed others to be better, more creative. She pushed herself and management to do the right thing. She would transform teams, and even agencies with her drive coupled with her extraordinary good humor. Maris graduated from Brooklyn College in 1974 with a Bachelor of Science degree in television and radio communications. She started her medical advertising career as a secretary at Klemtner Advertising. One day she overheard the agency was having trouble with a client so she nonchalantly suggested a concept which became an award-winning campaign that ran for three years winning every award available at that time. After a brief stint as Junior Copywriter at William Douglas McAdams in 1976 she was hired as Copy Supervisor at Lavey Wolff, Swift until 1979. That's when Gross Townsend Frank Hoffman snapped her up to be VP Group Copy Supervisor. After three years she went on to become Creative Director of the Consumer Division at Kallir Phillips Ross and then Associate Creative Director and SVP of the entire KPR agency, where she worked from 1983 to 1994. After KPR, she left the business briefly to raise a family and later battle ovarian cancer. After treatment, she jumped back in as SVP Creative Director at LifeBrands before starting Reagent LLC, an independent healthcare agency, with partner Lorraine Pastore from 2008 to 2012. After that she battled lung cancer, but still kept writing and creating. Maris was the recipient of numerous industry awards and was one of the first in the healthcare space to win a coveted Clio award in 1982. Other awards included the Art Director's Club award, 1983; Rx award, 1988, and numerous Readex/Starch awards over the years. She has also won the Davey, InAwe and W3 awards for digital work. Over the years Maris' product experience spanned consumer, pharmaceutical, diagnostic, medical education, public health and institutional advertising. Some of her product launches include significant pharmaceuticals, such as Duragesic, Ticlid, and Risperdal. She led the strategy and creative team to retain market leadership for the over-the-counter pain reliever Tylenol after its second poisoning incident. She also worked with Merck on aprepitant (Emend) from the time it was an undeveloped molecule headed with no clear indication to market-topping treatment for chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting. Maris's professional legacy was as much about how she treated her peers as the work they created. She hired the first black copywriter at KPR and placed her on one of J&Js most important brands, which was an uphill struggle internally. J&J was impressed with what appeared to be the agency's "progressive policy for diversity." As a writer, she helped craft the Patient Bill of Rights which is still displayed in hospitals and a skin care manual for nurses of patient receiving EgFR inhibitors. In addition to her healthcare advertising work, Maris also written a play: Cancer, the Musical, and a book about the industry and the drug approval process called Medicine Avenue. Maris also made an impact outside her industry work. For a number of years Maris sat on the New York State Ovarian Cancer Task Force to ensure the patient's point-of-view in education materials about ovarian cancer for Ob/Gyns. She also helped Free to Breathe, a partnership for lung cancer survival, to increase awareness about lung cancer and raise funds for treatment. She helped crystallize the group's mission and vision with pithy and clear copy that donors could relate to. Her strategic help won the team great attention and led to the merger with the National Lung Cancer Foundation. Maris was always 'pushy' — she pushed for more and better creativity, better teamwork with her 'conceptual teams' and she pushed for fair and equal pay for all. She pushed herself, her staff, her agency and her clients. Always wanting to do better, to BE better. As a result of her pushing, things got better — for her staff, her brands and all who worked with her. She pushed with her own drive to be better and she pushed with her sense of humor, which would help the medicine go down more easily. The industry could use more 'pushers' like Maris. Sadly, Maris lost her battle with cancer November 17, 2020. She had learned of her MAHF induction a few weeks prior.

On May 8, a roundtable was led by Representative Bobby Scott of Virginia, and moderated by Spencer Overton of the Joint Center for Political and Economic Studies, on the impact of retail automation on workers of color. PPI participated in the congressional roundtable and presented latest research on impact of the e-commerce Boom on black and Hispanic workers. According to BLS findings roughly 24% of ecommerce workers identify as black or African-American, while 20% of workers in brick-and-mortar retail.
We also found that online business enterprises are enlisting workers of color at a fast rate. From 2007 to 2017, the quantity of dark/African-American specialists in web based business increased by 51%, contrasted with a 15% gain for all employments. The quantity of Hispanic/Latino workers in internet business ascended by 73%, contrasted with 27% for all employments. When we consider these results they suggest that the ecommerce boom could benefit workers of color. We need to train workers for the new employments in ecommerce. Taken together, these results suggest that the ecommerce boom could benefit workers of color, assuming we have the right policies to allow access to the new jobs. We need to train workers for the new jobs in ecommerce. These jobs will require a combination of technical, design, and people skills.
Furthermore, to enable a diverse population and to take advantage of new chances we need to provide finance as well. States must set different programs which allow potential people who are involved in business to experiment with the latest 3D printing and robotics technologies.

Nigeria's dependence on oil revenue to fund its budget may finally be coming to an end as the federal government expects to earn nearly 63% of its income from non-oil sources in 2018.
However, with prices of crude oil on the rise – now above $60 a barrel – strict discipline in managing the excess revenue will play a key role.
There are indications that 2018 could be the first time non-oil revenue will outshine petrodollars since the oil boom of 1973.
In 1973 oil revenue overtook other sectors of the economy in funding both federal and state budgets.
"It is going to be tough but early indications are strong," a senior cabinet member told TheCable after the budget presentation by President Muhammadu Buhari on the development on Wednesday.
According to the 2018-2020 Medium Term Expenditure Framework and Fiscal Strategy Paper, oil revenue made up 97% of government's revenue in 2016.
"Oil revenue was N697.8 billion (97.2% of budget)," the document read.
During his 2017 budget presentation speech, President Muhammadu Buhari projected that oil revenue would drop by 40.18%.
"Based on these assumptions, aggregate revenue available to fund the federal budget is N4.94 trillion. This is 28% higher than 2016 full year projections. Oil is projected to contribute N1.985 trillion of this amount," he had said at the time.
This meant that non-oil revenue was projected at 27.79%.
While presenting the 2018 appropriation bill of N8.6 trillion to a joint session of the national assembly, Buhari said oil revenue is projected at N2.442 trillion while non-oil revenue at N4.165 trillion.
The president said the federal government's estimated total revenue was N6.607 trillion in 2018, about 30 percent more than the 2017 target.
"As we pursue our goal of revenue diversification, non-oil revenues will become a larger share of total revenues. In 2018, we project oil revenues of N2.442 trillion and non-oil as well as other revenues of N4.165 trillion," he said.
The president said non-oil and other revenue sources of N4.165 trillion would include the share of company income tax (CIT) of N794.7 billion, value-added tax (VAT) of N207.9 billion as well as customs and excise receipts estimated at N324.9 billion.
"Others are independently generated revenues (IGR) of N847.9 billion, federal government's share of tax amnesty income of N87.8 billion and various recoveries of N512.4 billion," he said.
According to The Cable, in percentage, this means that oil revenue has been projected to make up 63% of government's revenue in 2018 and oil revenue, 36.96%.
Kemi Adeosun, minister of finance and Godwin Emefiele, governor of the Central Bank of Nigeria CBN, had previously emphasised the need for policies to diversify government revenue.
The ministry of finance embarked on various programmes to improve tax compliance, one of which is the voluntary assets and income declaration scheme (VAIDS), which gives tax defaulters a grace period to pay their tax debts without fear of prosecution.
*We hope with all these, the year 2018 will be much more better than 2017 for Nigeria and Nigerians.


The good news is there are savings tools available that are designed to help you accumulate assets specifically for education. Below are three such savings vehicles. Each offers its own benefits and considerations. Your financial professional can help you choose the strategy that's right for you.
The 529 plan is a popular college savings vehicle, primarily because of its unique tax treatment. You make tax-deductible contributions to your child's 529 account and then invest them as you like. Growth in the accounts is tax-deferred. As long as the funds are used for qualified educational expenses, all withdrawals are tax-free.
Each state offers its own 529 plan, but there's no rule that you have to use your state's plan. You may be able to deduct your contributions from your state income taxes if you use your state's plan, but that's not always the case. It's also possible that another state's plan may offer features and investment options that better fit your needs.
If you withdraw 529 funds and use them for something other than education, you may face taxes and penalties. That could be an issue if your child chooses not to go to college. Fortunately, you can change the plan beneficiary to a different child. To take advantage of the tax break, however, you must ultimately use the funds for education.
These accounts are popular among parents who want to control the funds but also want flexibility with regard to how the money is used. UGMA and UTMA accounts are general savings accounts for minors. When your child reaches the age of majority in your state—usually either 18 or 21—the accounts transfer to their ownership. Your child can then use the funds as they wish.
You maintain control of the account until your child reaches adulthood, so you make all decisions about how the funds are invested and used. Also, while the growth in the accounts isn't tax-deferred, it also isn't fully taxable. Some growth is tax-free, and then, at additional levels, growth is taxed at the child's rate.
If you're like millions of Americans, you use a Roth IRA to save for retirement. Did you know you also may be able to use it to pay for your child's education? Normally, you can't take out distributions from a Roth before age 59½ without paying a penalty. However, you may be able to get a waiver on the penalty if you're using the funds to pay for college.
You can also take out your contributions from a Roth at any time without paying taxes or penalties. If you withdraw your contributions, however, you'll reduce your balance and limit your growth potential in the future.
Ready to plan your child's education funding strategy? Let's talk about it. Contact us today at Sprouse Financial Group. We can help you analyze your needs and develop a plan. Let's connect soon and start the conversation.
