Q: How to retrieve any value from Firestore collections and store it in a variable? I am trying to retrieve the value of year from a collection on cloud firestore, I will use this year value to retrieve data from the firestore storage. The code I am using for doing this is
        DocumentReference documentReference = fStore.collection("Users").document(userId);
        documentReference.addSnapshotListener(this, new EventListener<DocumentSnapshot>() {
            @Override
            public void onEvent(@Nullable DocumentSnapshot value, @Nullable FirebaseFirestoreException error) {
                if (error != null){

                    if (progressDialog.isShowing())
                        progressDialog.dismiss();
                    Log.e("Firestore error",error.getMessage());
                    return;
                }
                assert value != null;
                String gyear = value.getString("Year");
                setYear(gyear);
            }
        });
       storageReference = FirebaseStorage.getInstance().getReference("AcademicCalendar/"+getYear()+"/AC.jpg");

here the setYear and getYear are setter and getter for the year variable of type string. I want to store the value of year from firestore to this string. But when I do so I am getting the value as null. Below I have printed the storageReference, as you can see the value is null.
I/System.out: StorageRefgs://dsu-app-cm.appspot.com/AcademicCalendar/null/AC.jpg

could your please help me find a way to store the year in a string variable so I can use it to retrieve data from firebase storage?

(1) Any amount, otherwise than by way of advance tax, specified as payable in a notice of demand under section 156 shall be paid within thirty days of the service of the notice at the place and to the person mentioned in the notice :
Provided that, where the Assessing Officer has any reason to believe that it will be detrimental to revenue if the full period of thirty days aforesaid is allowed, he may, with the previous approval of the Joint Commissioner, direct that the sum specified in the notice of demand shall be paid within such period being a period less than the period of thirty days aforesaid, as may be specified by him in the notice of demand.
(1A) Where any notice of demand has been served upon an assessee and any appeal or other proceeding, as the case may be, is filed or initiated in respect of the amount specified in the said notice of demand, then, such demand shall be deemed to be valid till the disposal of the appeal by the last appellate authority or disposal of the proceedings, as the case may be, and any such notice of demand shall have the effect as specified in section 3 of the Taxation Laws (Continuation and Validation of Recovery Proceedings) Act, 1964 (11 of 1964).
53(2) If the amount specified in any notice of demand under section 156 is not paid within the period limited under sub-section (1), the assessee shall be liable to pay simple interest at one per cent for every month or part of a month comprised in the period commencing from the day immediately following the end of the period mentioned in sub-section (1) and ending with the day on which the amount is paid :
Provided that, where as a result of an order under section 154, or section 155, or section 250, or section 254, or section 260, or section 262, or section 264 or an order of the Settlement Commission under sub-section (4) of section 245D, the amount on which interest was payable under this section had been reduced, the interest shall be reduced accordingly and the excess interest paid, if any, shall be refunded :
Provided further that where as a result of an order under sections specified in the first proviso, the amount on which interest was payable under this section had been reduced and subsequently as a result of an order under said sections or section 263, the amount on which interest was payable under this section is increased, the assessee shall be liable to pay interest under sub-section (2) from the day immediately following the end of the period mentioned in the first notice of demand, referred to in sub-section (1) and ending with the day on which the amount is paid:
Provided also that in respect of any period commencing on or before the 31st day of March, 1989 and ending after that date, such interest shall, in respect of so much of such period as falls after that date, be calculated at the rate of one and one-half per cent for every month or part of a month.
(2A) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2), the Principal Chief Commissioner or Chief Commissioner or Principal Commissioner or Commissioner may reduce or waive the amount of interest paid or payable by an assessee under the said sub-section if he is satisfied that-
(i) payment of such amount has caused or would cause genuine hardship to the assessee ;
(ii) default in the payment of the amount on which interest has been paid or was payable under the said sub-section was due to circumstances beyond the control of the assessee ; and
(iii) the assessee has co-operated in any inquiry relating to the assessment or any proceeding for the recovery of any amount due from him:
54[Provided that the order accepting or rejecting the application of the assessee, either in full or in part, shall be passed within a period of twelve months from the end of the month in which the application is received:
Provided further that no order rejecting the application, either in full or in part, shall be passed unless the assessee has been given an opportunity of being heard:
Provided also that where any application is pending as on the 1st day of June, 2016, the order shall be passed on or before the 31st day of May, 2017.]
(2B) Notwithstanding anything contained in sub-section (2), where interest is charged under sub-section (1A) of section 201 on the amount of tax specified in the intimation issued under sub-section (1) of section 200A for any period, then, no interest shall be charged under sub-section (2) on the same amount for the same period.

(3) Without prejudice to the provisions contained in sub-section (2), on an application made by the assessee before the expiry of the due date under sub-section (1), the Assessing Officer may extend the time for payment or allow payment by instalments, subject to such conditions as he may think fit to impose in the circumstances of the case.
(4) If the amount is not paid within the time limited under sub-section (1) or extended under sub-section (3), as the case may be, at the place and to the person mentioned in the said notice the assessee shall be deemed to be in default.
(5) If, in a case where payment by instalments is allowed under sub-section (3), the assessee commits defaults in paying any one of the instalments within the time fixed under that sub-section, the assessee shall be deemed to be in default as to the whole of the amount then outstanding, and the other instalment or instalments shall be deemed to have been due on the same date as the instalment actually in default.
(6) Where an assessee has presented an appeal under section 246 or section 246A the Assessing Officer may, in his discretion and subject to such conditions as he may think fit to impose in the circumstances of the case, treat the assessee as not being in default in respect of the amount in dispute in the appeal, even though the time for payment has expired, as long as such appeal remains undisposed of.
(7) Where an assessee has been assessed in respect of income arising outside India in a country the laws of which prohibit or restrict the remittance of money to India, the Assessing Officer shall not treat the assessee as in default in respect of that part of the tax which is due in respect of that amount of his income which, by reason of such prohibition or restriction, cannot be brought into India, and shall continue to treat the assessee as not in default in respect of such part of the tax until the prohibition or restriction is removed.
Explanation.-For the purposes of this section, income shall be deemed to have been brought into India if it has been utilised or could have been utilised for the purposes of any expenditure actually incurred by the assessee outside India or if the income, whether capitalised or not, has been brought into India in any form.

Q: On similar matrices. I am searching two matrices such that both of the matrices have same characteristic polynomial, same minimal polynomial,  same rank, same trace, same determinant, same algebraic and geometric multiplicity of corresponding eigenvalues but still are not similar. Now we know that two matrix are similar if they have the same Jordan canonical form except of some arrangements of Jordan blocks. On basis of this result i am giving two matrices having same characteristic polynomial $(x^{7})$, same minimal polynomial $(x^{3})$, same rank $(4)$, same trace $(0),$ same determinant $(0)$ and same algebraic and geometric multiplicity i.e. $7$ and $3$ respectively of the eigenvalue $0.$ The first matrix has only one Jordan block of order $3$, but the second one has $2$ Jordan blocks of order $3.$ Can i say that the two matrices are are not similar?
And these are our required matrices as discussed above? Please explain. Thanks in advance.

John D. Wyker's Cat Tales - Macon & Capricorn Records
Macon & Capricorn Records Cat Tale
The year 1969 was a wild and strange and crazy time for me.When the editor of GRITZ asked me to write a Cat Tale about the time I spent in Macon,Georgia I was honored to be asked and to be able to say that I would try to give the readers a feel for what the mood and atmosphere was like during those magical and heady days when musical acts like The Allman Brother and Wet Willie,and other performers that were signed to Capricorn,were puttin' a fresh new Southern style of Rock and Roll on the world's musical map !
I had just gotten a divorce from my first wife...The Rubber Band had broken up a year or 2 earlier and I had made up my mind that I seriously wanted to work in the music business full time.I was aware that I would have to make some changes in my life and make some personal sacrifices to make my dream of making music become a reality.
We had a sayin' back in those days that we could use to justify and endure just about hardship oranythang that went wrong and when thangs we'ren't goin like we wanted them to or some big imporatnt deal feel through that might have put a few bucks in our empty pockets .We would always just say it was part of what was called "payin' your dues ".
It's amazing how a phase and attitude like that can help give a person with a dream the extra courage they need when times get hard and you need somethang to help give you a reason to keep on pushin' and to hang in there when thangs got tough and it looked like you couldn't get a break anywhere.
We'd just marked it up as "payin' our dues".It was like nobody knows when they will die...and nobody knows when they have paid enough dues to have their dreams come true.When your number comes up and you start making some money off of your music ..it's then when you know that you have paid enough dues.
When you are really first staring out in the muisc business back in those days it very had to find anybody that would pay you to do anythang.Especially around the recording studio scene.There were no schools you could attend back then that could teach you what you needed to know so you had to prefect the art of hangin' out and tryin' to be helpful in some way and in return maybe somebody would teach you somethang that would help you along.
I knew I'd have to learn to travel light and to get my life style down to it's most simple and basis form.When you stop and really think about it it's amazing just how little we each need in our lives to make it though each day.A little food and water and of course air and shelter. I've lived in tents, on houseboats, RV trailors, in trucks, sleep in car and on friends couches and floors.I learned to do without alot of the luxuries and to be able to live on barely nothing in life in order to be free to follow my own dream of making music my life. The first thang I did was to sell the red 1966 fastback Corvette that me and The State National Bank owned. I loved that car and it used to be like Duane Allman's own private Taxi Cab when he lived in The Shoals and played sessions at FAME Studios in the 1960's. I hated to sell that car but it was one of the scrafices I had to make.So the next owner of that red Vette was drummer Roger Hawkins.A few years later he sold it to Terry Woodford of Wishbone Studio and then the next owner was keyboard player and Wishbone co-owner Clayton Ivey...So that Corvette stayed in the music business for about the next 2 decades!
It really felt good to get out from under having to make those car payments every month.I had to have somethang to get around on so I bought a used 450 Honda Scrambler motorcycle which was fine until winter came and it suddenly became a Strato-freeze air conditioner !
But proably the most important thang I did to free myself from my old lifestyle and be free to follow my dream was I got my wallet out and took all of my credit cards out and tore them up...I also closed my checkin' account and tore up all the left over blank checks....I was preparing for hard times and I knew that if I kept the credit cards and a check books that it would be too easy for me to use them when times got really hard.Having credit makes it way too easy on a person like me to get into debt way over head.My motto and mantra most of my life has been that if I did not have the money in my pocket I would have to do without it.
Johnny Sandlin, the cat that had gotten me in the music business, had already moved to Macon and was putting together a rhythm section for The Capricorn Studio.He had hired or suggested to Phil Walden that he also hire guitarist Pete Carr and Keyboard player Paul Hornsby...both had worked in The Hour Glass with Sandlin and The Allmans. Bassist Robert Popwell was hired and after he left Macon he later went on to play bass with The CRUSADERS.
Some other fine musicians and songwriters like Jackie and Ella Avery had also been hired.The Allman Brothers were takin' the music scene by storm and every rock and roll musician in The South started flockin' to Macon to try to find a place to fit in and get in on some of this action that Capricorn was creating.
I was between marriages, and bands and jobs and was livin' on Shoals Creek right next door to ahouse that Eddie Hinton had bought with a loan that Jerry Wexler had given him.This was also about the time that Eddie started acting strange.At first it as just a few little thangs but before long he had gotten busted and lost his lake house and his Lincoln Continental and his wife Sandra's XKE Fastback Jaguar.After they got busted the lawyers made a deal with The powers that control The Shoals and a deal was made that if Eddie and Sandra would move to Nashville or somewhere out of state they would drop all charges.
Thangs in The Shoals were still rockin' along pretty good and FAME and Muscle Shoals Sound were always booked up and making great music.But I had the wander lust and I wanted to go to Macon and check thangs out for myself and also Johnny Sandlin had told me that he though he could help me get a job with Capricorn.So Becky Robbins ,who would later become my second wife for about 8 months, and Donnie Fritts and I loaded up in Becky's Blue Ford Maverick and headed out for Macon. Fritts and Becky only stayed a few days and the drove back to The Shoals.
Sandlin gave me a room to live in the house he had rented and his place was always the center of action. Back then their were no boom boxes or cassette tape players or anythang like that that we take for granted these days....but Sandlin had the best reel to reel set up money could by and there was always somebody comin' over to listen to tapes they had recorded.
One of the most memorable times I remember at that house of Sandlin's was the night that Duane Allman got back to Macon after he had finished workin' on The Derek and Dominoes album. He had a reel to reel copy of the album and we put it on and it played for days. I can still see Duane walkin' around the house in a tank top and bell bottoms and he was fired up...he was sayin' thangs like "I can play with the big boys Now ! Y'all listen to the end of Layla." We were believers...there was no denying that Duane and Clapton and Bobby Whitlock and the others had really cooked up somethang special and Duane was like a proud papa...and nobody could blame him at all for all the chest beating he was doin' after a session like that....he had arrived and he knew it ! We all knew it.
I used to love to go down on Cotton Avenue to Capricorn's main office complex. It was a beehive of action.You never knew who you would bump into down there.Upstairs when you walked in a beautiful and very friendly secretary named Carolyn who had been with The Walden's for years would greet you when you walked it.Somewhere behind that front office Phil had his office and his brothers Blue and Allan also had offices in that upstairs area.
My favorite place in the building was down in the basement. This is where the main part and heart and soul of the booking agency was located.There most have been about 50 dudes that worked down there in the basement.They all had desks and several telephones.... and they were Watts lines so you could call anywhere in the country and talk forever and nobody would mind...it was like a boiler room operation.This is where the cats that were called "booking agents" did their thang and that meant livin' with a telephone to your ear all day long.
That's why Capricorn's booking agency was so successful.These cats got paid by how many jobs they could book and if they were not talkin' on the phone to some college Fraternity social chairman or some club owner then they were not doin' their job and would be replaced in a heartbeat !
When I first started hangin' around the Cotton Avenue offices it seems like everyday at least one of the Allman Brothers or one of Walden's other acts were there tryin' to get someone to set them up with a doctors appointment so they could get some penicillin to cure their STD's.
I had been in Macon for about a week when Sandlin finally took me with him to Phil Walden's office...Phil was kind of aware of who I was because of that time in Memphis when Dan Penn introduced us at AMERICAN STUDIOS when The Box Tops were recording CRY LIKE A BABY ....and we had also seen each other maybe one other time at FAME STUDIOS.
I had also met Phil and Alan Walden about five years earlier when I was a freshman at The University of Alabama.I had pledged the Kappa Alpha Order Fraternity and our social chairman knew I was into music so one night he grabbed me by the arm and said "Come with me...we are going to have a meeting with a couple of booking agents from Georgia.We got in the KA social chairman's car and drove the short distance down University Blvd to The Moonwinks Motel.
There was a red Corvette convertible parked in front of the room where the meeting was to be held.The motel room door was open and some great R & B sounds were floating out on to the night's breeze.When we entered the motel room we realized that these cats had brought a record player with them and stacks of 45 rpms records.The room had 2 double beds and both of them were completely covered with 8 x 10 black and white glossy promo photos of every black recording artist in the business.
The Walden's also had a wet bar set up and it was impossible for us to turn down free booze. Just about every college Fraternity and Sororities have very large amounts of money set aside and ear marked for all of the parties they would have that school year. Phil and Alan had come to Tuscaloosa to see how much of that business they could get signed to a contract...after stiff drinks and all that great music and lookin' at all the pictures of the stars we signed contacts with them for every party we had that season and the social chairman wrote them a check for 25% of the total....and I'm sure that just about every other Fraternity and sorority on campus did the same thang.
They probably made enough money in a couple of days on campus to buy another Corvette .We left The Moonwinks and the company of The Walden Brothers feelin' high as a kite and I'm sure they were satisfied with how much we spent with them that night! The next time I saw Phil Walden was at American Studios in Memphis the night The Box Tops were recording CRY LIKE A BABY...in between takes Dan Penn introduced us...of course I didn't mention that night in 1965 at The Moonwinks!
Fast forward back to 1969. Also Sandlin had recently recorded a song I wrote titled BABY RUTH that was on Alex Taylor's first LP titled Friends and Neighbors on the Capricorn Label. Alex as one hell of a Soul & R & B singer and also James Taylor's oldest brother. Sadly Alex died a few years ago at far too young of an age.
Sandlin introduced me to Phil and we shook hands and then we all sat down and listened to a couple of new songs that had been recorded by COWBOY at the new Capricorn studio,which was still under construction...it was a very relaxed atmosphere.
The next thang I knew the conversation had taken a turn and Phil was starting to talk about all the good thangs that he had heard about me from Sandlin and others and how talented I was and he wanted to know what it would take for me to come to work full time for Capricorn.
Back in those days I was usually terrible at negotiating any kind of deal except when it came to booking bands....there was one point a few years earlier when The Rubber Band got so popular that I had to start my own booking agency to handle all of the people that we were having to say no to because we were already booked.
Anyway during this meeting with Phil Walden I was determined to do a better job at negotiating and not to cave in at the first offer.Phil started out offering me $75 bucks a week and I countered with the fact that I could not even find a decent place to live on that kind of pay....so he raised the ante another 50 bucks..and still I played hard to get..but then added that I really would like to work for him and I made up a little white lie to try and make him up his offer....I told Phil that I had just sold some stocks and I was planning to go to Europe and do some travelin' and sight seein'.....
Finally Phil told me that Sandlin and Pete and Hornsby and the rest were makin' $275 a week and that was as high as he could go...he said he would pay me $250 a week...and then the strangest thang happened...the day before I had been half listening to The Paul Harvey Show and I kept hearing him using the phase "vertically intergraded" company....I really had no idea on that day at that particular meetin' with Phil Walden what in the Hell "vertically integrated" actually meant....but it sounded good and before I could stop myself I blurted out these words to Phil. I said "Phil I can see what you are tryin' to do here at Capricorn...it looks to me like you want to build a company that uses the concept of vertical integration ! I swear I had no clue what the term actually meant but I had heard Paul Harvey tellin' all of his many radio listeners that it was a good thang and that in the future most big companies would be tryin' to set up their operation to be as vertically integrated as possible.Well sir when Phil heard me use that term his eyes widened...his eyebrows went up and he had a look on his face like I had really stuck a nerve with him!
And then he said "Please excuse me for a minute I need to discuss somethang with my brother Blue. Blue's office was right next door so Sandlin and I sat there and waited...and I was praying that Phil would not come back in the office and ask me what the definition of "vertically integrated " was.I would have been a dead duck..I did not have a clue. Finally Phil came back in the office and Blue was with him.Blue said "Phil wants to hire you but we have a problem with the money...we have already almost gone over budget in hiring people for our production company.But we can hire you and we can pay you $275 which is what all of our top people are gettin' paid...the problem is that we will have to issue you two checks every week. Half of you pay will come from the production account and the other half will have to come from our publishing company NO EXIT Music ...but it will all add up to $275 a week. I mumbled somethang about how I did not care how many checks it took...I was ready to go to work for Capricorn and $275 a week sounded great to me ! We all shook on it and I was hired!

Considering how many different Christmas ornaments one has to choose from, there's a surprisingly small offer of tree toppers out there. That makes it quite difficult to be original but also means that you have a wonderful opportunity to turn this into a DIY project. We've gathered together some of the unique Christmas tree toppers that we find most charming and most inspiring. They're original and special in their own way.
Want something cute and colorful? How about a pom-pom tree topper? Doesn't this one look adorable? You can make your own version out of a styrofoam ball big enough to look good on your tree and a bunch of yarn pom-poms of different colors. Glue the pom-poms onto the ball and don't forget to drill a hole so you can put your topper on display where it belongs. You can find additional details on sugarandcloth.
The traditional star-shaped tree topper is pretty nice and looks cute on the tree so you can let that be your source of inspiration when crafting your own unique Christmas tree topper. Check out this stylish version featured on jojotastic. It's a project which requires a few very specific supplies: 2 sheets of calf skin, twine, gold leaf and a star template plus some tools such as a leather punch, scissors, a lacing needle and a paint brush.
This rustic version of a star-shaped Christmas tree topper looks very charming too. It would be a perfect ornament for a tree decorated with pinecones, wood slice ornaments, burlap decorations and other similar things. To make this unique tree topper you need twigs of various different sizes, some craft wire, a hot glue gun and pliers. All the details of the project can be found on sheffiel.blogspot.
Maybe a dramatic and eye-catching tree topper would be a good fit for your Christmas tree. Check out this starburst design featured on dwellingsbydevore. It looks all glittery and glamorous but it's actually made out of a bunch of wooden skewers stuck in a styrofoam ball. A piece of PVC serves as a base. It's the gold spray-paint that ultimately gives the tree topper this chic look.
If you're planning a rustic or woodland-themed Christmas tree design, this reindeer topper would be just right for the occasion. To make something like this you need a paper mache reindeer head, plaid fabric, glue, dry green foam blocks, and floral picks. You can also add ribbon and use spray paint or faux snow on the greenery. Check out designdazzle to find out more about this unique Christmas tree topper.
Not all cool and unique Christmas tree toppers are complex and require lots of supplies to make. The perfect example which proves it can be found on abeautifulmess. This lovely JOY topper is super easy to make. You need a wire clothes hanger, some additional easy to bend wire, pipe cleaners, pliers and tape. You can bend the pipe cleaners and the wire into any shape you want.
A giant bow could make a lovely and also unique Christmas tree topper as well. You can make one out of some velvet or other thick fabric. You should also have a glue gun and a piece of fabric of a different kind to complete your bow. You can pick any color you want and combine different colors and patterns to make your topper match your tree. You can find out more about this craft on frysauceandgrits.
Check out this awesome disco ball tree. It's a lovely look for a white Christmas tree and the giant disco ball tree topper is a cool touch. You can achieve similar results if you take your time to spray paint a bunch of ornaments and of course if you can find one big enough to serve as a tree topper. The whole process is described in more detail on queensvein.
Another cute and original idea is to make a giant snowflake for the top of your Christmas tree. You can do it using nothing more than a few straight branches and some string or twine. First you cut the branches (see the details on gardenista), then you lay them across each other after which you secure them together with twine. The rest is pretty self-explanatory.
What could be sweeter than a Christmas tree topper that looks like a giant lollipop? Well, one made of three giant lollipops, of course. This original idea comes from athoughtfulplaceblog and the supplies needed to make something like this include 3 styrofoam disks, red craft paint, cellophane, 3 wooden dowels, ribbon and a drill.

The word "bouffant" comes from the French word, "bouffer" meaning to "puff up" or "puff out." During the 17th Century, this high-standing style came by way of expensive powdered wigs.
Since they are stylish hairdos', bouffant has been common over time. Many modifications have been done over time; it is no longer a super huge style to wear anymore you can have a small bouffant if you have chin length hair.
A bristle brush or comb. You can use your regular comb if you do not want to spend on a new one.
8-10 pins preferably bobby pins.
A jaw clip. You need to explicitly get the one with interlocking sporks preferably the once that are thick.
Bouffant is easily made when the hair is dry, so if you want to wash your hair, I recommend drying it afterwards with a blow-dryer. Make sure you that your roots are dry, smoothing it with a paddle brush.
Apply a bit of mousse to the roots when wet then add an extra measure to guarantee super volume. It is not a mandatory step. However, if you have some time you can roll sections your hair, (down on the sides and backwards on the top) using rollers when your hair is almost dry.
Once done you can blow-dry the hair on a low setting. The low heat will help curl the hair. After a few minutes lightly spray the hair with a hairspray of your choosing then briefly dry again. Leave the rollers on for about 15 to 20 minutes for your hair to set in.
To have a volume results you will need to tease sections of the hair on the top side of the head running a brush-up and down the hair shaft creating interweaves near the root. Since the hair is short, you should slightly tease the hair length.
Carefully use your comb to gently smooth back the top layer close to the back of your head where the teased hair ended and use the bobby pins to secure them. You can start with your fingers while securing them with the pins as you layer them.
For the bottom part that is not teased, smooth the sides back as though you were to make a ponytail. Twist the end slightly and secure with a jaw clip you can also use the same clip to secure the top hair. You need to move it closest possible to the teased area.
Any pieces of hair that are left on the sides twist and secure them into the barrel using bobby pins in a way that the pins are invisible.
Any remaining hair in the front can be styled any method that appeals to you.you can move them to the sides and keep them curly or flat giving a classy look.
Bouffant is a classy hairstyle that you can always use on a formal occasion. The exposure of your physical features such as the neck chin and back compliments the hairdo. You can have any bouffant you need the methods differ slightly, but they are all glamorous.
I recommend that you try it yourself wear a bouffant and you will attract some attention anywhere you go you can follow this steps and achieve excellent results, however your stylist might do it better than you. Either way, we will need to hear how it goes.

The Swedish Economy: A model for competitiveness, growth, and social well-being
By Jonathan Menkos Zeissig, Executive Director, Central American Institute of Fiscal Studies (Icefi)
Sweden's example can help politicians, business leaders, workers, and the public of Central America understand that it is possible to build a competitive society without sacrificing people's well-being.
In a recent interview with Bloomberg, Swedish finance minister Magdalena Andersson, who has managed Sweden's public finances since 2014, spoke about the three principal factors that have led to Sweden's successful integration into the global economy as well as one of the highest standards of living in the world: job creation, a robust social safety net, and wealth redistribution.

It's helpful to review Sweden's accomplishments since 2014. First, Sweden's economy averaged 3.1% real growth from 2014 to 2017, 55% higher than the average over a similar period for the most advanced countries in the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD). (35 of the biggest economies in the world, including the US, Mexico, and Japan, are part of the OECD.) Sweden also has a trade surplus of 4.9% of GDP, while the OECD average is 0.3%.
As for the workforce of 5.2 million people, 47.4% are women, which is the highest rate of female participation of all OECD economies. The unemployment rate fell from 7.7% in the fourth quarter of 2014, to 7.1% in the fourth quarter of 2016. According to Andersson, the high participation of men and women in the labor market is related to accessible childcare and loans to parents financed by taxes.
On the other hand, the Swedish economic model allows businesses to fail if they can't compete. This pragmatism, however, is complemented by a strong social safety net, training for the unemployed, and active labor market policies. It's important to note that 25.8% of the Swedish labor force (1.3 million workers) works in the public sector, and that in 2015, 72% of public workers (966,000) were women.
Clearly, fiscal policy is a tool that allows these factors to work toward social well-being and development. In 2015 the Swedish government budget represented 50.2% of GDP. Social safety net spending (41.6% of the total budget) accounted for the largest share of the budget, followed by general services, education, and health spending.
Graph 1: "Sweden: Central government revenue and public spending, by principle categories, 2015. In percent of GDP." Source: Icefi, based on Statistics Sweden and OECD statistics. The blue section of the graph shows "Public Spending" by spending categories: Social safety net; Community, environmental, and general; Education, recreation, and culture; Health; Economic issues; Public order and security; and Defense. The yellow section shows "Government Revenue" by tax categories: Income, profit, and capital gains; Goods and services; Social security contributions; Payroll and workforce; Property; and Other taxes. The final category is Non-tax revenues. The bottom section shows overall balance (surplus or deficit).
Also in 2015, the total revenue of the Swedish government was 50.5% of GDP, while tax collection represented 43.1% of GDP. The tax structure has three major pillars. First, taxes on income, profit and capital gains represented 35.8% of total revenue in 2015; taxes on goods and services contributed 30.3%, and contributions to social security and payroll taxes contributed another 35.4%.
The scope of Swedish fiscal policy allows for significant redistribution of income, through both public spending as well as through taxation. The majority of households pay taxes and receive benefits according to a progressive structure: those with lower incomes receive more benefits and vice-versa.

Source: Icefi, based on the Swedish Tax Agency's "Tax Statistical Yearbook of Sweden," 2015, Table 3, Page 8. The graph shows (from left to right): Income level (broken down into minimum and maximum income cutoffs); Average income before taxes and benefits; Application of fiscal policy (broken down into Benefits and Taxes); and Average income after imposition of fiscal policy.
The numbers challenge the economic theory dominant in Central America: that economic success depends on maintaining a minimal government; minimum spending on social programs and safety nets; and a focus on maintaining favorable macroeconomic conditions, with unemployment rates and wages that fluctuate according to the competitiveness of production compared to the external market.
On one hand, Sweden is positioned among the 10 most competitive economies in the OECD, according to the 2016 Global Competitiveness Report. The 2017 economic liberty index by the conservative Heritage Foundation ranked Sweden 19th of 180 countries, beside the US (17th) and ahead of countries like South Korea (23rd) and Germany (26th). This demonstrates Sweden's high degree of economic openness, its solid regulatory efficiency, and its highly valued legal constancy.
In the 2017 edition of Doing Business, a World Bank publication that measures whether or not countries' regulations favor economic activity, Sweden ranks 9th of 190 countries. The 2016 Human Development Index (HDI) report ranked Sweden the world's 15th most developed nation. Transparency International's most recent corruption perception index ranked Sweden among the five countries with the lowest levels of perceived corruption in the world.
Meanwhile, public opinion research carried out periodically by the Swedish tax authority about the country's tax system has found that 40% of the population and 39% of businesses are happy with the tax system (in terms of its structure, rates, and rules); that another 35% and 39%, respectively, are not opposed to the tax system; and that 25% of citizens and 22% of businesses disagreed with the tax system.
Sweden's economic and social success has resulted from a political and economic agenda applied over the last 80 years. With some variation over the long term, this style of development has been based on five main ideas. (The following summary draws on the 1993 study "El modelo sueco de estado de bienestar" by Manuel Sánchez de Dios.)
First, democracy must be shaped not only in the political arena, but also in the economic and social arenas. Second, a strong sense of community must strengthen principles of solidarity and equality. Third, socioeconomic equality and economic efficiency are complementary, not contradictory. Fourth, social control should be exercised over the market economy. The market is a mechanism for the distribution of economic resources, but conditioned by economic policies based on productivity and innovation, wage policies, progressive taxes, and social policies. Finally, the public sector should be used to broaden freedom of choice. Through social policy, citizens' security and freedom improve. For example, pensions reduce the risks of old age, and housing policies limit shanties.
Sweden's example can help politicians, business leaders, workers, and the public of Central America understand that it is possible to build a competitive society without sacrificing people's well-being. It also helps to reflect on the important role that public administration should play to bridge individual interests with national social and economic agendas.
Finally, one can't forget that fiscal policy expresses what kind of society is being sought. That's why it's so important to promote in Central America new solutions to the economic, political, and social challenges that are expressed in the amount and method of tax collection, in public spending, in how development goals are set, and in ways to ensure accountability.

Airtel, Vodafone's complicated bid to match Reliance Jio 4G data plans
New Delhi, March 7 -- Airtel and Vodafone's battle with Reliance Jio is all set to take a new twist. On 31 March, the free trial service period for Jio's services comes to an end. Jio subscribers will have the option of continuing with one of the new prepaid tariff plans, or additionally sign up for the Jio Prime membership by paying a one-time subscription fee of Rs99. If you do sign up for Prime, the same tariff plans offer more data and even extended validity, than they would otherwise. But that isn't only what has Airtel and Vodafone quite worried. A look at Jio's Rs303 prepaid plan-Prime members will be able to use 1GB 4G data every day for 28 days, which means total of 28GB data during the validity period. Then there is the Rs499 plan, where Prime members will get 2GB 4G data bundled every day, which means they get a total of 56GB of data over the 28-day validity period. Also read: Reliance Jio Prime 4G data plans: What you need to know Before Reliance Jio's announcement, Airtel for example, was offering 2.5GB 3G/4G data for Rs359 (28-day validity), Idea was offering 3.5GB data for Rs455 (28-day validity) and Vodafone had a plan for Rs365 (28-day validity) which offered 6GB data to 4G users and 2.5GB data to 3G users. Now, things might be changing, because all three operators are now launching new prepaid tariff plans, albeit silently in some cases. Airtel now has the Rs345 recharge option (28-day validity), which apart from unlimited local and national calls, also has 1GB daily 3G/4G data usage allowance. This makes it a total bundle of 28GB data over the validity period. However, there is a catch. As a user, you'll only be getting 500GB every day during the day, and the rest 500GB will be available between the slightly unearthly hours of 12am-6am. The other condition is that you need will need to apply this recharge to your Airtel prepaid connection before 31 March. This recharge option is available on Airtel's website. Additionally, you'll be able to take advantage of these rates for the next 11 recharges as well. Vodafone's new plans are a tad mysterious. As a part of the 'Welcome Back Offers', Vodafone is offering two new plans. The first is priced at Rs342 (28-day validity) and it bundles 28GB data-1GB per day, but with no conditions such as the ones Airtel have on their Rs345 plan. The second is the Rs346 plan, which bundles 300 minutes of local and national calls per day, as well as total 10GB data for the 28-day validity period. However, we have not been able to find this plan on the Vodafone website, Vodafone's app or even wallet services such as Paytm.

The words "you have cancer" can easily be considered three of the most terrifying words a person can hear. To most, even the hint of cancer is a death sentence, a ticking time bomb screaming at patients as dreams of a long and healthy future are extinguished. Some immediately turn to conventional methods, using chemotherapy or radiation as a way to cure a body that has seemed to betray them. Others pursue unconventional methods such as a special diet, herbs, or alternative medicine. Still others give up altogether and vow to use their last days to do the things that they have always wanted to do; these people escape their diagnosis with a plane ticket to Las Vegas or a cruise around the world. But no matter how those with the many forms of the disease deal with it, cancer is a mystery. Why does it happen? Can it be prevented? Can it be cured? These questions go unanswered. Anyone affected by cancer knows what it's like to face its mysterious path; they know the pain of being unable to answer the questions. James "Rhio" O'Connor fought to solve the mystery of his illness, through his pursuit of knowledge of the disease and his dedication to paving his own path towards healing.
Rhio was diagnosed with mesothelioma in 2001 at the age of 61. Mesothelioma is a rare form of cancer that occurs when malignant cells are found in the mesothelium (which covers most internal organs). Like with Rhio's case, it usually occurs after the patient has had some type of exposure to asbestos in his or her lifetime. With the gravity of this type of cancer, Rhio was expected to live less than a year. Like most people, I believe that being labeled with an expiration date would scare me into the more traditional methods. After all, I have grown up all my life being told to trust doctors and science, and I do have confidence in the medical world. If I was given the same cancer prognosis that Rhio faced, I would cling to modern medicine as my lifeline, strictly following the advice of my doctor. My faith would also play a huge role in my fight. I am Catholic Christian, and I have no doubt that I would turn to Jesus and his support during such a trying time. My parents would also play a prominent role in the decisions that I would make in my fight, as I trust them with my life. It goes back to the same story, however: I would be blindly following the advice of a doctor, one man or woman with one opinion about my condition. Rhio, however, took his life into his own hands. While most people would be washing their fears away on a beach in the tropics, Rhio spent the early days of his fight in libraries and speaking with numerous other doctors, educating himself on the disease that was, essentially, fighting to end his life. Before reading Rhio's story, I knew that my fear of this disease would keep me from knowing all the facts. I view cancer the same way that I would a home invasion—if I knew that my house was being burglarized, I would not have the courage to fight the criminals, to see their faces for identification, and to try to protect my possessions. I would call the police, putting my life into the hands of those viewed as "more capable" of protecting me, and hide, hoping that they would leave without hurting me. That is why Rhio's story is so deeply inspirational for me. His approach towards the invasion of his body has completely changed the way that I view cancer. Rhio had the courage to look his invader straight in the face, to try to protect his life at all costs. After all, how can you fight a fair battle without knowing anything about your opponent? While Rhio trusted his doctors, family, and friends, in the end he knew that the fight was between cancer and him alone. He would be the one to face the decision of life or death when the disease tried to steal his life away. This is why he took his prognosis into his own hands, filled his days with research, and outlived doctors' expectations: Rhio passed away at age 69 after successfully battling the cancer for over six years.
"Thinking outside the box" is highly underestimated today. We are quick to put ourselves into the hands of those we believe know more about certain subjects than we do. But why don't we become informed ourselves? This is exactly what Rhio did. If I was diagnosed with cancer today I would follow the example of Rhio and take the battle into my own hands—I would not be afraid to face my opponent directly. I would still use the research that the medical world has pursued and most likely receive chemotherapy or radiation treatment; however I would also talk to other patients with the disease. After all, their experience is the best knowledge. Also, I am a firm believer in the effects that the correct diet can have on one's life and well-being, so my diet would drastically change to keep my body in its best fighting form. All the little things that make up treatment are just as important as weekly visits to the hospital for chemotherapy and a check-up. I know now that there is more to beating cancer than simply trying to eliminate it through modern medicine.
James "Rhio" O'Connor is an inspiration to anyone who has personally been affected by cancer as well as those who may one day face the disease. He outlived his "incurable" cancer by more than six years, thanks to his determination and knowledge about what was fighting against his body. His story gives a whole new identity to cancer because he refused to succumb to the disease without a fight. Cancer is never a death sentence; it is a battle, and one that many people can win. Because of his fortitude Rhio was given the gift of life, the gift that anyone facing this disease wishes to receive.

Squaw Valley pushes forward with development, gondola projects
News | June 4, 2018
A sign is posted announcing the pending development plans at Squaw Valley.
Sierra Sun file photo
Battle lines have been drawn in court cases and public hearings over a pair of Squaw Valley projects, including a 25-year village redevelopment plan, approved in November 2016 by Placer County, and a planned gondola project that would link Squaw Valley to Alpine Meadows.

Opponents, wearing purple "Keep Squaw True" T-shirts, of Squaw Valley's village redevelopment plan made their case before the Placer County Board of Supervisors, which approved the project by a 4-1 vote in November 2016. The project is the subject of two lawsuits filed by Sierra Watch.
Show CaptionsHide Captions
OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. — Sierra Watch's attorneys argue Placer County fell well short of fully analyzing the impacts of Squaw Valley's planned 25-year village redevelopment project, particularly when it comes to fire safety, traffic and resulting environmental effects on the Lake Tahoe Basin.
And the nonprofit organization, which has led an opposition campaign "Keep Squaw True," recently took that case to court. That lawsuit is one of two filed by Sierra Watch over Placer County's approval, with another alleging supervisors violated California's Brown Act.
Both cases were argued in courtrooms in May, while another planned project — a gondola linking Squaw Valley and Alpine Meadows — was also the topic of a public hearing in late May.
"Just because the project is not located in the Basin, doesn't mean impacts on the Basin shouldn't be considered," Daniel Selmi, a Sierra Watch attorney, said in a May 24 hearing in Placer County Superior Court. "The County's obligation is to examine the impacts. The village will generate some traffic and some of that traffic will venture into the Basin … an environmentally stressed area. It's obvious. There's not some sort of wall between the two. Lake Tahoe is the draw up there."
Selmi and fellow Sierra Watch attorneys outlined what they deemed as deficits in the meeting requirements under the California Environmental Quality Act, arguing Placer County approved the project despite failing to consider the full impact on the region and its residents through a thorough analysis.
Whit Manley, representing Squaw Valley, said the project's environmental impact report met all requirements, and that Squaw Valley went beyond its obligation under law to mitigate the impacts identified.
But it's no surprise Sierra Watch isn't satisfied by the report, saying the organization doesn't seem to recognize efforts to mitigate issues outlined, which has included scaling back the scope of the project from 1,877 residential units to 1,295 in 2011, and then again to the 850 units eventually approved.
"I recognize the petitioner thinks that's still too many," Manley told Judge Michael Jones. "I don't know what's acceptable to them. But what matters, ultimately, is what is acceptable to the Board of Supervisors."
He said the court should not be asked to weigh which side has "better evidence," but whether the supervisors' conclusion — approval — was within the boundary of the law, as opposed to "second-guessing people elected to make these decisions."
Full FIRE Danger known?
The project's environmental impact report raised more questions than it answered, said Amy Bricker, a Sierra Watch attorney who addressed impacts on fire safety with added traffic to evacuation routes, already estimated to take several hours to move everyone out of the area. She said while a "shelter in place" approach discussed in the report might provide safety to some, it doesn't fully consider the project's impact on a site designated a very high Fire Hazard Severity Zone.
In his opposition brief to Sierra Watch's suit, Manley wrote "the Board found that the Project would not interfere with adopted emergency evacuation plans, and that people or structures would not be exposed to a significant risk of loss from wildland fires."
"The question is how bad is it going to be?" Bricker said in court. "The best-case scenario is sitting in your car for five hours … just to get over to (State Road) 89."
"(Even with shelter in place) there's no analysis of how bad the situation is going to be, how long would they be there? … These are all unanswered by the analysis. It jumps to the conclusion that (the project) does not create a safety risk. How did it reach that conclusion?"
Each side now awaits word on the judge's ruling, which could take up to 90 days from the May 25 hearing on the matter (See this story at SierraSun.com for copies of all court filings in the cases).
BROWN ACT ALLEGATION RESOLVED?
A separate suit filed by Sierra Watch alleging Placer County's supervisors violated California's Brown Act by not properly notifying the public in entering what it describes as an "11th-hour agreement" by the Squaw Valley to pay a Tahoe Regional Planning Association Air Quality Mitigation Fee.
Sierra Watch said a memo on the agreement was not available to the public within 72 hours of a Nov. 15, 2016 meeting where the project was approved by supervisors. The memo wasn't emailed to the Board of Supervisors until 5:36 p.m. Nov. 14. A copy of the memo was placed at the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors Office in Auburn, meaning the document was not available to the public prior to the meeting during the next day's normal business hours.
A "Proposed Statement of Decision" was released by the court on May 9, with Jones determining "the County did not violate (the Brown Act) in considering approval of the Development Agreement."
And, Jones continued, "(Sierra Watch) suggests several alternative ways in which the County might have alerted members of the public to the existence of the (memo) following its distribution to the Board," Jones wrote. "But nothing mandates the use of alternative methods … Petitioner fails to establish a violation of the statute."
Isaac Silverman, a Sierra Watch attorney, said the organization won't comment on the matter until a final ruling is made.
Clayton Cook, deputy county counsel, said Placer County has been clear it did not violate the law in reaching the agreement.
"Everything has been done within the Brown Act and the letter of the law," Cook said. "It appears the court ultimately sided with us."

Nasdaq Analytics Hub Explores Trading Signals from New Data Sources .
New and unique datasets from Asia under consideration for Analytics Hub.
In a recent Waters Technology article, Tomas Franczyk of Nasdaq revealed that Information Services is exploring new trading signals and investment ideas from information sources specific to the Asia-Pacific (APAC) region.
Franczyk was quoted in the article noting, "The goal is to provide investors with signals derived from structured and unstructured data and machine learning that they are unable to generate on their own." Of note, adding signals from sources such as foot traffic and satellite imagery are under consideration for Nasdaq's Analytics Hub.

The dissolution of the Soviet Union was in December 1991. The Ukrainians voted overwhelmingly for independence in a referendum that year, writes Nickey Brennan.
What you may ask has that to do with sporting matters?
Well, nothing actually, but just around that same time a young Tony Browne made his debut with the Waterford senior hurlers against Galway in the National Hurling League. Over the next 23 years he built a memorable and outstanding career.
He leaves the inter-county stage as one of the most admired hurlers to represent the county; to ever have played the ancient game. Déise under-age hurling is in a good place right now and it is fair to assume that the exploits of Tony Browne inspired many of his county's young hurlers.
His retirement came as no surprise. He turns 41 in July. He has played his part in all of Waterford's greatest achievements over the past two decades.
I imagine he looked enviously across the Suir at the achievements of great rivals Kilkenny over many of those years. It was tough luck for Browne and his team mates that a very successful era for Kilkenny hurling occurred just at the time when his native Waterford were also scaling significant heights.
We were not to know it at the time but Waterford's loss to Kilkenny in Thurles last July in the All-Ireland Qualifier was to be his last outing in the county colours. That was a game the Déise could have won in normal time but Kilkenny was the master in extra time.
Browne was introduced during extra time. Despite his rallying call to comrades they again fell to their neighbours. When the Mount Sion player failed to appear in the National League he was unlikely to be considered for the championship.
It says a lot for Browne's character and attitude that at 40 years of age he could comfortably handle players barely more than half his age. It was that loyalty and commitment which endeared him to Waterford supporters.
Most people's first experience of seeing Tony Browne in action was in the 1992 under-21 All-Ireland hurling final against Offaly at a packed Nowlan Park. It was Waterford's most memorable day since they defeated Kilkenny in the 1959 All-Ireland senior final.
Browne joins many of hurling's finest to leave the stage without a Celtic Cross. He got to play in an All-Ireland final but that was a forgettable experience when Kilkenny ran out easy winners.
Despite that huge disappointment his trophy cabinet is laden with many rewards from his exceptional endeavours with Waterford. He won four Munster titles in 2002, 2004, 2007 and 2010. I well recall seeing his great goal against Tipperary in the 2002 Munster final which helped to end a 39 year wait for a Munster title.
I am sure Browne and his Waterford team mates took a lot of satisfaction when winning the 2007 National League final as it was a rare victory over Kilkenny in a national decider. His consistently brilliant displays saw him win three All-Star awards in 1998, 2006 and 2007. In fact, 1998 was a special year for Browne. He won the coveted Hurler of the Year award, a rare honour for a player whose county did not reach that year's All-Ireland final.
His fellow county man Dan Shanahan achieved a similar honour in 2007.
Despite his longevity with Waterford, Browne's departure robs the panel of an inspirational leader. The baton has now passed to Seamus Prendergast and Michael 'Brick' Walsh to lead the team in the Munster championship.
Browne may have seen little game time last year, but his presence on the panel was important for the inexperienced players. He may have retired from the inter-county scene, but Browne has no intention of giving up on his club Mount Sion. He scored eight points from the centre forward position in a recent club game.
Browne won seven county titles. He can now devote all his time to helping his club to an eight title.
There is no connection with the fact that Tony Browne came on to the inter-county scene as Ukraine voted for independence. Made you curious though!

My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward: A Memoir
By Mark Lukach
International Bestseller
A heart-wrenching, yet hopeful, memoir of a young marriage that is redefined by mental illness and affirms the power of love.
Mark and Giulia's life together began as a storybook romance. They fell in love at eighteen, married at twenty-four, and were living their dream life in San Francisco. When Giulia was twenty-seven, she suffered a terrifying and unexpected psychotic break that landed her in the psych ward for nearly a month. One day she was vibrant and well-adjusted; the next she was delusional and suicidal, convinced that her loved ones were not safe.
Eventually, Giulia fully recovered, and the couple had a son. But, soon after Jonas was born, Giulia had another breakdown, and then a third a few years after that. Pushed to the edge of the abyss, everything the couple had once taken for granted was upended.
A story of the fragility of the mind, and the tenacity of the human spirit, My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward is, above all, a love story that raises profound questions: How do we care for the people we love? What and who do we live for? Breathtaking in its candor, radiant with compassion, and written with dazzling lyricism, Lukach's is an intensely personal odyssey through the harrowing years of his wife's mental illness, anchored by an abiding devotion to family that will affirm readers' faith in the power of love.
"This gorgeous memoir gives readers a raw and unvarnished account of what it's like to live with and love someone with a severe mental illness. There are moments of gut-wrenching sadness--but, ultimately, the story is hopeful, even triumphant. This book basically tore out my heart and then lovingly sewed it back in place."--Susannah Cahalan, bestselling author of Brain on Fire
"Honest and heartfelt, My Lovely Wife in the Psych Ward tells the difficult story of a marriage tested by mental illness, and reminds us that true love is never easy."--Kyle Boelte, author of The Beautiful Unseen
