There is a tremendous amount of stress placed on college students regarding their choice of major. Everyday, I meet with students regarding their concern about choosing right major; the path that will lead to a fantastic, high-paying position in a growth industry. There is a hope that one decision, your college major, will have a huge impact on the rest of your life.
Students shy away from subject areas they enjoy due to fear that such coursework will not lead to a job. I am disappointed in this approach. As a counselor I always ask—what do you enjoy studying? Based on this answer it is generally easy to choose a major or a family of majors. I recognize the incredible pressure to secure employment after graduation, but forcing yourself to choose a major that you may not have any actual interest in because a book or website mentioned the area of growth may not lead to the happiness you predict.
Working in a college setting I have the opportunity to work with students through all walks of life, and I do believe based on my experience, that choosing a major because it is listed as a growth area alone is not a good idea. Use your time in college to explore all areas of interest and utilize your campus resources to help you make connections between your joy in a subject matter and the potential career paths. Realize that for most people, in most careers, the undergraduate major does not lead to a linear career path.
As an undergraduate student I majored in Political Science, an area that I had an interest in, but I added minors in Sociology and Women's Studies as my educational pursuits broadened. Today, as a counselor, I look back on my coursework with happy memories of exploring new ideas, critically analyzing my own assumptions, and developing an appreciation of social and behavioral sciences. So to impart my wisdom in regards to a student's college major, I will always ask, what do you enjoy studying?
Once you have determined what you enjoy studying, the real work begins. Students need to seek out academic advisement. Academic advisement means many different things; it can include course selection, course completion for graduation, mapping coursework to graduation, developing opportunities within your major and mentorship.
As a student I utilized a faculty member in my department for semester course selection, and I also went to the department chairperson to organize two different internships to explore different career paths. In addition, I sought mentorship from club advisors as I questioned my career path and future goals. In my mind I had a team of people providing me support and guidance, and as a result I had a great college experience and an easy transition from school to work.
I recommend to all students that I meet with to create their own team. As a counselor I can certainly be a part of their team, but I should not be the only resource. Connect with faculty in your department or in your favorite subject. Seek out internships as you think about the transition from college to workplace. Find mentors through faculty, club advisors, or college staff. We all want to see you succeed and are happy to be a part of your journey.
As a counselor I am always shocked when students do not understand what courses they need to take, what grade point average they need to maintain, and what requirements they must fulfill in order to reach their goal—graduation! Understand that as a college student it is your responsibility to read your college catalog and meet all of the requirements for graduation from your college. I always suggest that students, starting in their first semester, outline or map out all of the courses they need to take in order to graduate. Of course you may change your mind along the way, but by setting out your plan to graduation you are forcing yourself to learn what is required of you.
I do this exercise in my classes and it is by far the most frustrating for students. They want to live in the now and they don't want to worry about next semester or next year. However, for many students that I see, the consequence of this decision is a second semester senior year filled with courses that the student avoided during all the previous semesters. If you purposefully outline each semester and the coursework for each you can balance your schedule, understand your curriculum, and feel confident that you will reach your goal.

The wife of the alleged ringleader of the "We Build the Wall" scam that ensnared former White House adviser Steve Bannon on Thursday told The Post that her husband is a trustworthy man — and claimed she had no idea he was allegedly bilking donors.
Ashley Kolfage, 34, insisted she does not follow her husband Brian Kolfage's social media campaigns and political activism, which led to his indictment on fraud charges in the Southern District of New York on Thursday.
"I don't follow any of his social media stuff. I don't follow any of his political stuff, I am completely far away from any of that," Ashley said.
Brian, a triple amputee and Air Force veteran, allegedly siphoned off $20,000 a month from a viral GoFundMe fundraiser, "We Build the Wall," which launched in 2018 and raised $25 million.
Federal prosecutors in Manhattan said the 38-year-old spent the ill-gotten gains on a luxury SUV, golf cart, personal tax payments and credit card debt.
In a phone call Thursday, Ashley insisted that she earns her own money through her work as a model and social media influencer for the energy drink Bang and other brands.

"I'll let him speak on his behalf, but I make my own money with all the stuff that I do. I have not spent a penny of his money on all of that," she said.
She also believes her husband is innocent of the charges because she knows him as a trustworthy and honest man.
"He's never done anything wrong to people, so I don't think he would be doing that kind of stuff," she said.
"If you need him, he's always there. He's just a really good guy. Trustworthy," she added.
Kolfage was arrested Thursday morning, along with Bannon and two other men for their alleged roles in the scheme.

Dietary fat is generally the most feared of all food substances. From the beginning of time until the middle of the 20th century; however, fat was the most highly-regarded and honored of all food substances. Why the 180?
In the middle of the 20th century, up and coming scientist Ancel Keys developed a theory that fat caused heart disease, which was, and still is, the leading cause of death in modern nations despite its extreme rarity before the 1920's. He found plenty of data to support his theory, most notably that Japan and a handful of other countries that consumed less fat than America had lower rates of heart disease. He only picked seven countries that backed up his theory, but that was evidently enough for Keys to pronounce, "case closed," and parade around spreading the new gospel that the reduction of fat consumption could prevent heart disease.
But there were complications. By complications, I mean dozens of exceptions that disproved that fat could be causal of heart disease. For one, countries like France consumed lots of fat, mostly in the form of butter, cream, cheese, and fatty liver (foie gras). Yet heart disease risk, to this day, is but a fraction of what the United States endures. Furthermore, Dr. George Mann of Vanderbilt University traveled to Kenya to study the Masai tribe, who consume the highest-fat diet in the world – the equivalent of four sticks of butter a day in the form of high-fat milk, meat, and little else. Mann found no traces of heart disease whatsoever though. Their hearts and bodies were undeniably in better condition than even that of the Japanese on their practically fat-free fare (as low as 10% of caloric intake).
The famed Eskimos, while living on their native diets, had perhaps the most superb health of any humans ever discovered. They had no heart disease, no tooth decay, had unparalleled physical hardiness and vigor. Even cancer, in its many forms, was never documented amongst an Eskimo living on his native fare. The Eskimo diet, by the way, was the highest-fat diet humans have ever been documented as consuming – about 80% of caloric intake came in the form of dietary fat – all of it from animal sources. It's awfully hard to blame fats for disease with these kind of exceptions.
The world is starting to slowly come around on fats, referring to fats that come from plant sources or omega-3's found in coldwater fish as being "healthy fats." The term healthy fats is used to separate these from fats that everyone and their uncle assumes is harmful. What kind of fat is that? You guessed it, saturated fat, found primarily in animal fat, dairy products, and tropical oils from palm and coconut trees.
Again, these were cherished, staple foods of some of the most robust people documented in modern times, such as the native Polynesians, isolated Swiss peoples, and the aforementioned Eskimos and Masai warriors.
Although you may be very skeptical about fat's virtues, especially that of saturated fat – and rightfully so seeing how bombarded we are with ideas about its dangers, I assure you that once you see the fragility of the science that the fat kills hypothesis is constructed on; once you are properly informed about the fact that no study has ever shown saturated fat to be causal of disease; once you take a moment to see the gaping holes in the logic vindicating fat as a vile substance; and once you see all the high-fat exceptions that stump the "fat bad" assumptions – you will pull another 180 on it, coming full circle, and once again cherish it as has been the way for millennia.
I hope you do, because fat is not the cause of disease, eating it does not increase your risk of heart disease or any other ailment, and its calorie-density does not lead to the accumulation of excess body fat. In fact, fat, including saturated fat, is the most potent dietary tool available for overcoming the development of heart disease, obesity, and many other unpleasant and dangerous conditions.

On June 29, both houses of Congress passed a bill to extend federal transportation funding and to continue student loan interest rates at the current level of 3.4 percent, but most media reporting all but ignored the student loan story, and outlets that did cover it did not inform the public about a disturbing downside of the bill.
This is what is known in the trade as a great lead to a story.
That aside, the facts of the story reveal that to continue the student loan rate at the current level of 3.4 percent, Congress in fact cut or restricted student financial aid in other areas–to the tune of $4.6 billion. In return, the average student borrower will save about $1,000 a year versus what they would have paid if Congress had enacted the 6.8 percent interest rate.
"The total cost to students, according to some estimates, is $18-20 billion extra over the next 10 years," according to NPR.
Students will now lose the six-month grace period after graduation and be required to begin loan payments immediately after graduation. Graduate students will have to begin paying the interest on their loans while they are still in school.
According to Joel Packer, executive director of the Committee for Education Funding, the bill now has limits on the number of semesters during which needy students can receive Pell grants and makes it more difficult to receive the maximum amount.

Von B'Vsean Miller Jr. was born on March 26, 1989, in Dallas and attended DeSoto High School in DeSoto, Texas, where he played high school football for the DeSoto Eagles and ran track. He had 37 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, 7 sacks, and 12 quarterback hurries as a junior. He was named the District 8-5A Defensive MVP as a senior after recording 76 tackles, 14 tackles for loss, and 6 sacks. He shared the field with future Aggie teammate Cyrus Gray. Miller competed in track and field events such as the 110m hurdles (personal best of 14.38 seconds), triple jump (personal best of 12.65 meters), and javelin throw (PR of 37.24 m).

Protestors outside the Lidl store in Todmorden. Picture: John Greenwood, Local Democracy Reporter.
Sort it out quickly - that's the clear message from residents and councillors concerned with closed-off footpath and flooding risk issues who staged a protest at the new Lidl supermarket site in Todmorden.
Work is currently halted on the Halifax Road site while Calderdale Council and the supermarket chain resolve issues involving fulfillment of planning conditions relating to flooding issues.
Some Todmorden town councillors and residents have been unhappy the largely coned-off footpath along the site frontage has been effectively out of commission while building is in limbo, a dip where the site entrance has frequently filled up and become a giant puddle, leaving it looking like an eyesore while the bigger picture clears.
Resident Rodney Young said: "When the work on this store began the public had to endure months of traffic lights on this stretch of road, forcing them to cross the road from Der Street, walk up past the Factory shop and cross again to get to Todmorden Health Centre.
"At the time made this very difficult for disabled people to get to the health centre.
"When work was stopped on this store before Christmas the council should have insisted that this footpath was finished and opened back up to the public. We are now into April and this pavement is still unusable," he said.
The aim of the protest is to put pressure on Calderdale to get the pavement concern and the major planning condition issues sorted out as soon as possible.
Coun Michael Hatfield said town councillors and residents alike were not against Lidl as a store at all and wanted to see it open - but only when the proper planning conditions were met as serious issues of increased flood risk were resolved in line with the given permission.
"We just want it sorted out. People in the town want the store open; people who live there want it built in such a way that when we get heavy rain it is not going to pour off," he said.
Concerns hinge around conditions relating to water dispersal from the site, which as it stands has been raised to around two feet over road level, and Calderdale issued Lidl with a planning contravention notice last December.
Calderdale Council's assistant director for strategic infrastructure, Steven Lee, said: "Following the resulting action taken by the Council and Environment Agency, work on site is now on hold while issues with the drainage are resolved.
A spokesperson for Lidl said the issues were receiving attention.
"We would like to take the opportunity to thank the local community for their patience as we progress with analysis of the site, which we remain in close contact with both the Environment Agency and Calderdale Council on, and which we hope to conclude shortly.
"Arrangements were made for remedial works to remove a puddle in a section of the unfinished surface, which gathered due to the pause of highway works.
"Additionally, a temporary solution is being installed, ahead of any construction recommencing.
"We look forward to providing an update on the development in due course, and providing further reassurance around any outstanding queries," he said.

Q: iOS - contacts enable/disable ( privacy setting) changes reflection same as WhatsApp? I am working on a chat application same as whatsapp. So I need same functionality when user disable/enable contact access (privacy setting) for my app.  If the user disable or enable the contact in app setting. How can I be notify in the app. I need to keep track when user changes enable/disable contact settings (privacy setting). So i do reflect changes on each event in My App.
And if anyone knows how whatsapp doing this.
Given below is the screenshots of whatsapp.
Case 1.Has Contact Access

Case 2 Don't Have Contact Access

A: Every time the user launch the app you can check if the app has still permission to the contacts with the following code:
  #import <AddressBookUI/AddressBookUI.h>

- (void)applicationWillEnterForeground:(UIApplication *)application {

  ABAddressBookRef addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);

  if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
    ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBookRef, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) {
      if (granted) {
          // First time access has been granted
         // Show 4 Tabs
      } else {
          // User denied access
          // Show 3 Tabs
      }

}

A: As per apple's website (scroll down to Privacy in the middle of the page), access to the address book must be granted before it can be access programmatically.Here is what I ended up doing-
#import <AddressBookUI/AddressBookUI.h>

- (BOOL)isContactsFetchingAccessibleOrNot {
  // Request authorization to Address Book
  ABAddressBookRef addressBookRef = ABAddressBookCreateWithOptions(NULL, NULL);

  if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusNotDetermined) {
    ABAddressBookRequestAccessWithCompletion(addressBookRef, ^(bool granted, CFErrorRef error) {
      if (granted) {
          // First time access has been granted, add the contact
          //do something
      } else {
          // User denied access
          // Display an alert telling user the contact could not be added
      }
    });
  }
  else if (ABAddressBookGetAuthorizationStatus() == kABAuthorizationStatusAuthorized) {
    // The user has previously given access, add the contact
    //do something
  }
  else {
    // The user has previously denied access
    // Send an alert telling user to change privacy setting in settings app
  }
}

We work with Canadian NGOs to improve access to medicines and medical supplies in vulnerable communities around the world. These initiatives support resource-limited hospitals and clinics, and contribute to broader community development goals.
Choose your product: Once registered, partners regularly receive lists of available and diverse products donated by the Canadian pharmaceutical industry. Partners can select appropriate medicines and medical supplies based on their project needs. Shipments are then built and prepared for delivery.
Get your shipment on its way: It is our partners' responsibility to find out what documents and steps are required to secure customs clearance in their country of destination. However, we support our partners to ensure that their shipments are successful. This logistical support includes the preparation of necessary documents for shipping and customs clearance.
Contribution: HPIC requests a contribution of $550 per full skid of medicine (less than 14 months) and $325 per skid of medical supplies shipped. These contributions some of HPIC's operational costs, which include procuring medicines, maintaining an inventory and tracking system, as well as storing donated medicines and preparing shipments. Shipping costs are our partners' responsibility.
Reporting and follow up: In order to maintain accountability to our donors and ensure the continuous improvement and quality of activities, HPIC requires our partners to report on the impact of their shipment and how donated medicines contributed to their community projects.
HPIC endorses best practices in medical donations as outlined in the WHO Guidelines for Medicine Donations. In addition, HPIC's Establishment Licence from Health Canada demonstrates that we treat products with the same diligence and care as the manufacturer.
If you would like to become a partner organization, please contact HPIC's Raini Aquino at raquino@hpicanada.ca or call her at 1-800-627-1787 or 514-822-1112, ext. 118.


I'm not sure Wesley Clark's defense of Hillary Clinton's support of the Kyl-Lieberman amendment was convincing, but it was the sort of thing that might convince. Clark is, after all, a great proxy to have doing outreach to more dovish voters for you — an Iraq War opponent, a committed multilateralist, and someone with deep ties to the blogosphere. Madeleine Albright not so much. When people worry that an HRC administration might be too hawkish, Albright is part of what we're worrying about, she a member of the hawkish "strategic class" circle that Clinton was aligning herself with when she voted to authorize war with Iraq.


Francisco Candel (1925-2007) is a Catalan writer who used to have personal diaries which gave substance to many of his more than fifty books. His ephemeral political experience, as senator and town councillor, during the Democratic Transition consolidated the image of a singular and unsettling writer. Through the works Francisco Candel published during the Democratic Transition, he showed his vision of the events of this period in which social, cultural and political expectations were partly frustrated. The sour and ironic caricature he proposed did not meet any success and paradoxically, although he was more exposed in the Catalan public media, his books were at the same time getting forgotten.
Dictionary of the Literature of the Iberian Peninsula, Greenwood Press, Westport, Connecticut, 1993, 1806 pages. Authors: Germán Bleiberg, Maureen Ihrie, Janet Pérez.
In this dictionary, two pages (p. 290-291) are dedictated to Francisco Candel Crespo... [sic]. A confusion with another Francisco Candel, but not the writer called Francisco Candel Tortajada.
1) "Although many of Candel's book have been translated into German, French, Flemish, Russian and other languages, critics have largely ignored his work; nevertheless, Félix Ros considers him as Dickensian". Actually, one novel was translated into German, two into Flemish, and one into French. The reference to Félix Ros may suggest that the list of languages could come from the prologue writen by him in Obras selectas (1974): « éstos y otros títulos se tradujeron subsiguientemente al alemán, al francés, al flamenco, al ruso y a otros idiomas. » (p. 16). Francisco Candel himself wrote an autobiographical note in Fernando Alvarez Palacios's book, Novela y cultura española de postguerra (1975): « He sido traducido al alemán, francés, flamenco, ruso, catalán, gallego y vasco, y ahora creo que al italiano. » Nevertheless, in A cuestas sobre mis personajes, there is no mention of translation into Russian or Italian, but it is true that some short stories were also published in Russian.
2) "His "obra maestra" is Els altres catalans (1964: the Other Catalonians) which has been translated into Spanish and many other languages". It is just the opposite. This book was obviously written in Spanish and then translated into Catalan by one of the greatest translators to Catalan of that time, Ramón Folch i Camarasa. And it is not true that it was translated into other languages.

SAMANTHA SHANNON The Bone Season. Reviewed by Folly Gleeson
Posted by The Newtown Review of Books in Fiction, SFF
aliens, clairvoyance, London, Oxford, parallel worlds, SFF
The Bone Season offers a parallel future of clairvoyants and alien races in a complex and vibrant thriller.
This is a very grim story threaded with startlingly good flashes of originality. That is not to say that brave young women, invading aliens and mind manipulation have not been used in fantasy and science fiction before, but here these things are freshly and excitingly used to edgy effect.
Paige Mahoney lives and works in Scion London of 2059, a city ruled by a viciously repressive regime which kills clairvoyants or sends them to Sheol 1, a hidden penal colony. She is a criminal. Her clairvoyance makes her valuable to Jaxon, the mastermind of a team that uses her skills of roaming the aether to help make saleable art forgeries, among other crimes. Life is not easy. Clairvoyants, of whom there are many differing orders, need to remain hidden from the authorities at all times. Paige is a dreamwalker, one who can move into the minds of others and even attack them there. This makes her extremely valuable, and one day, when the Bone Season XX begins, she is harvested.
She is taken to Sheol 1, where the real horror of the situation is revealed to her; Scion is controlled by an alien race, the Rephaim. Powerful and strangely beautiful, these beings have controlled London for a very long time. There is also another brutal race which must be resisted: the Emim. Every ten years the clairvoyants are gathered and taken to Sheol 1 in order to repel these brutal killers. This time of collection and brutal indoctrination is called the Bone Season. Paige is assigned to a keeper, the Warden, to be trained:
His skin was a dark honey gold, setting off two heavy lidded yellow eyes. He was the tallest of the five males, with coarse brown hair, clothed in embroidered black. Wrapped around him was a strange, soft aura, overshadowed by the others in the room. He was the single most beautiful and terrible thing I'd ever laid eyes on.
Throughout the excitements of the complex and incident-filled plot, there are echoes of other forms of fantasy. Paige is an enchanting heroine; she is full of compassion and kindness and reminds one of those fairy stories where goodness (usually on the part of the youngest brother, for example) allows the protagonist to find ways to survive. Furthermore, the relationship between the Warden and Paige makes a gesture towards the myth of Psyche and Eros:
Jaxon had always said there was more to being a dreamwalker than a heightened sixth sense. I had the potential to walk anywhere, even in other dreamscapes. I'd proved it by killing those two Underguards. Warden might be able to show me even more – but I didn't want him as a teacher. He and I were natural enemies; there was no use pretending otherwise. And yet he had observed so much about me: the way I held myself, my tension, my vigilance. Jax was always telling me to loosen up, to let myself float. But that didn't mean I could trust the man who kept me locked in this cold dark room.
It is in the realm of relationships that Paige excels. She can be aggressively assertive (the word feisty is not good enough for her) and is intelligent and brave, and she brings all this to her dealings with others. But it is her compassion that is most marked; she tries to aid other victims with varying success. She is the teller of her story and fortunately, the author has given us ways to understand her history, character and skills by having her remember certain situations, both during her youth in Ireland and in her criminal life in Scion.
It is indeed fortunate that Shannon gives us a certain amount of exposition for this is not an easy read; there is so much fascinating detail to assimilate about the orders of clairvoyance and the complex mores and politics of the Rephaim that a degree of explanation is necessary. These explanations are well integrated and do not jar. As well, the action is compelling, violent, cruel, and scary. I was forced to put the book down occasionally, out of fear of what was about to happen. It is a forceful and vibrant narrative, really a thriller.
Shannon has stepped right out of any genre rigidity and uses her very highly developed writing skills to powerful effect. It is hard to believe that it is a first novel, so cleverly does she avail herself of many fantasy and science-fiction tropes and nuances. The final scenes are very exciting and dramatic, and, hingeing as they do on the nature of loyalty and trust, have an emotionally satisfying truth.
There is a glossary, an explanation of the orders of clairvoyance, and a map; all welcome additions.
And there will undoubtedly be sequels.
(One little thing I loved. Perhaps it is not a spoiler to reveal it. The penal colony is set in Oxford University. Samantha Shannon has just finished studying English Literature there.)

Our Basic Squat White Dental Cup is manufactured in Europe using a PS material – the PS material produces a well formed rim that is very consistent in quality. As a rule the dental and medical professions opt for a squat cup for its stability, and tend to prefer PS as a raw material.
Value wise (for most ) our customers will opt for the Basic White Cup - Code: CD4209 as it presents better all round value (pound for pound). However for many - based on the material type and height - the basic Dental Cup will stack up the preferable choice.


According to information released by the National Statistics Office today, in the second quarter, sea transport between Malta and Gozo registered increases in vehicles and commuters, compared to the corresponding quarter of 2010.
Commuters between Malta and Gozo increased by 3.9 per cent, totalling 1,096,880 when compared to the corresponding period in 2010. Concurrently, the number of vehicles carried by scheduled vessels went up by 2.2 per cent, totalling 285,641. The highest number of commuters was recorded in June (378,899) or 34.5 per cent of the total for the quarter.
The number of trips in the period under review stood at 4,820, a decrease of 1.5 per cent over the corresponding period last year. The majority of trips took place in June – 1,644 – or 34.1 per cent of total trips for this quarter.
Do I detect another push for a bridge between the two islands?


There is a big celebration, which is depicted on the wall mural. Many young people have put their hands up and are saying cheers with their cocktail drinks. They wear festive clothes and are in a disco bar. The mural is suitable for walls of agencies, which organise celebrations.

Kurtis Garbutt
Kurtis Garbutt is currently a Research Engineer working on an EngD in the Urban Sustainability & Resilience Centre (USAR), which is part of the Department of Civil, Environmental and Geomatic Engineering (CEGE) at University College London (UCL).
As a Research Assistant on a social network analysis project in the Department of International Development at Oxford University, his work aimed to explore the social media networks and interactions of Islamic scholars and their followers. Through the use of data scraping in R and Python, the project aimed to measure the influence of Islamic authority online, building up a global profile of scholars and their followers.
In 2012 Kurtis received a full EngD studentship from USAR and the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) to work with the British Red Cross (BRC) for four years on a project aimed at creating a geographical information system (GIS) tool to support the work of the BRC and improve the understanding of urban resilience in vulnerable people/the elderly in times of crisis.
Kurtis' Masters research, undertaken at Durham University, was a quantitative study based upon the collation and statistical evaluation of a custom-built global long-term database of media coverage of major natural hazard events and the ensuing relief efforts. The database produced is now fully automated and is continuing to grow and will be used for future research at Durham University and the International Landslide Centre.
Kurtis' professional work, particularly his work at the BRC, has been a mix of qualitative and quantitative research, as well as organisation and administration. His role at the BRC was as a lead researcher on a national floods research study aimed at enhancing the voluntary sector's collective understanding of the needs of flood affected individuals and communities with a view to understanding how they are impacted and how recovery is best supported.
Kurtis works with a number of NGOs to facilitate NGO/academic collaboration and research. He has a keen interest in mapping, open source and 'non-traditional' data and the use of the Internet to examine geodemographics, digital access and representation, and aid development work.

In late 2018, LB&I announced five additional campaigns aimed at determining whether taxpayers are complying with tax rules in the following areas of the law: (i) foreign tax credits claimed by U.S. individuals, (ii) offshore service providers that assist taxpayers in creating foreign entities and tiered structures to conceal the U.S. beneficial ownership of foreign financial accounts, (iii) F.A.T.C.A. compliance by F.F.I.'s and N.F.F.E.'s, (iv) tax return compliance by foreign corporations that ignore the fact that they are engaged in a U.S. trade or business under the rules of U.S. tax law, and (v) late issuance of Work Opportunity Tax Credit ("W.O.T.C.") certifications that result in the need to file amended tax returns and result in a misuse of I.R.S. resources when returns are filed without the W.O.T.C certifications. The move follows more than two years, of I.R.S. publications that alert the public to certain issue-based approaches being followed by examiners. Galia Antebi and Elizabeth V. Zanet summarize the new releases.
Mirror, Mirror, On the Wall, Which Is My Tax Home of Them All? – Foreign Students Face Dilemma in the U.S.
The U.S. Department of State administers the Exchange Visitor Program, which designates sponsors to provide foreign nationals with opportunities to participate in educational and cultural programs in the U.S. and return home to share their experiences. These students receive taxable stipends, file tax returns, and reduce taxable income by costs associated with participation. Unfortunately, a recent Tax Court case, Liljeberg v. Commr., has determined that the travel and lodging costs of these individuals could not be deducted. Neha Rastogi and Beate Erwin explain that while home is where the heart is, a "tax home" is where a person is expected to live taking into consideration the person's principal place of employment.
This month, Rusudan Shervashidze and Stanley C. Ruchelman look at several interesting items, including (i) the publication of draft legislation by the Crown Dependencies of Guernsey, Jersey, and Isle of Man calling for the existence of economic substance for resident companies engaged in certain businesses and defining what that means, (ii) the denial of benefits incident to foreign earned income for a military contractor in Afghanistan who maintained a place of abode in the U.S., (iii) an increase in fees charged by the I.R.S. to issue residency certificates, (iv) the establishment of a working group to combat transnational tax crime through increased enforcement collaboration among tax authorities in several countries, and (v) changes to China's residency rules and the sharing of taxpayer financial information under C.R.S.
November 29, 2018 / Ruchelman P.L.L.C.
The first step in advising a foreign individual who is neither a U.S. citizen nor a green card holder on U.S. income tax laws is to determine the person's residence for income tax purposes. But what is to be done when the individual is resident in multiple jurisdictions? A recent LB&I International Practice Unit offers a quick understanding of the tax issues I.R.S. examiners raise when dealing with individuals who are dual residents for tax purposes. Virtually all income tax treaties entered into by the U.S. contain a tiebreaker rule under which the exclusive residence of an individual is determined for purposes of applying the income tax treaty. Fanny Karaman and Beate Erwin explain how these rules are applied. One point to remember is that the tiebreaker test for treaty residence purposes does not affect an individual's obligation to file an F.B.A.R. form.
One of the principal highlights of the T.C.J.A. is the 100% dividends received deduction ("D.R.D.") allowed to U.S. corporations that are U.S. Shareholders of foreign corporations. At the time of enactment, many U.S. tax advisers questioned why Congress did not repeal the investment in U.S. property rules of Subpart F. Under those rules, investment in many different items of U.S. tangible and intangible property are treated as disguised distribution. In proposed regulations issued in October, the I.R.S. announced that U.S. corporations that are U.S. Shareholders of C.F.C.'s are no longer subject to tax on investments in U.S. property made by the C.F.C. Stanley C. Ruchelman explains the new rules and their simple logic – if the C.F.C. were to distribute a hypothetical dividend to a U.S. Shareholder that would benefit from the 100% D.R.D., the taxable investment in U.S. property will be reduced by an amount that is equivalent to the D.R.D. allowed in connection with the hypothetical dividend.


What a lovely painting! The background complements the horse and rider and the light in the mid ground grass, just right!
Thank you very much Laurelle! I appreciate your kind words. I am learning to make my backgrounds nice and plain so the subject stands out. I am happy to see I am doing it!

Perimenopause means "around menopause" and refers to the time during which your body makes the natural transition to menopause, marking the end of the reproductive years. Perimenopause is also called the menopausal transition.
Women start perimenopause at different ages. You may notice signs of progression toward menopause, such as menstrual irregularity, sometime in your 40s. But some women notice changes as early as their mid-30s.
The level of estrogen — the main female hormone — in your body rises and falls unevenly during perimenopause. Your menstrual cycles may lengthen or shorten, and you may begin having menstrual cycles in which your ovaries don't release an egg (ovulate). You may also experience menopause-like symptoms, such as hot flashes, sleep problems and vaginal dryness. Treatments are available to help ease these symptoms.
Once you've gone through 12 consecutive months without a menstrual period, you've officially reached menopause, and the perimenopause period is over.
Throughout the menopausal transition, some subtle — and some not-so-subtle — changes in your body may take place. You might experience:
Irregular periods. As ovulation becomes more unpredictable, the length of time between periods may be longer or shorter, your flow may be light to heavy, and you may skip some periods. If you have a persistent change of seven days or more in the length of your menstrual cycle, you may be in early perimenopause. If you have a space of 60 days or more between periods, you're likely in late perimenopause.
Hot flashes and sleep problems. Hot flashes are common during perimenopause. The intensity, length and frequency vary. Sleep problems are often due to hot flashes or night sweats, but sometimes sleep becomes unpredictable even without them.
Mood changes. Mood swings, irritability or increased risk of depression may happen during perimenopause. The cause of these symptoms may be sleep disruption associated with hot flashes. Mood changes may also be caused by factors not related to the hormonal changes of perimenopause.
Vaginal and bladder problems. When estrogen levels diminish, your vaginal tissues may lose lubrication and elasticity, making intercourse painful. Low estrogen may also leave you more vulnerable to urinary or vaginal infections. Loss of tissue tone may contribute to urinary incontinence.
Decreasing fertility. As ovulation becomes irregular, your ability to conceive decreases. However, as long as you're having periods, pregnancy is still possible. If you wish to avoid pregnancy, use birth control until you've had no periods for 12 months.
Changes in sexual function. During perimenopause, sexual arousal and desire may change. But if you had satisfactory sexual intimacy before menopause, this will likely continue through perimenopause and beyond.
Loss of bone. With declining estrogen levels, you start to lose bone more quickly than you replace it, increasing your risk of osteoporosis — a disease that causes fragile bones.
Changing cholesterol levels. Declining estrogen levels may lead to unfavorable changes in your blood cholesterol levels, including an increase in low-density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol — the "bad" cholesterol — which contributes to an increased risk of heart disease. At the same time, high-density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol — the "good" cholesterol — decreases in many women as they age, which also increases the risk of heart disease.
Some women seek medical attention for their perimenopausal symptoms. But others either tolerate the changes or simply don't experience symptoms severe enough to need attention. Because symptoms may be subtle and come on gradually, you may not realize at first that they're all connected to the same thing — rising and falling levels of estrogen and progesterone, another key female hormone.
If you have symptoms that interfere with your life or well-being, such as hot flashes, mood swings or changes in sexual function that concern you, see your doctor.
As you go through the menopausal transition, your body's production of estrogen and progesterone rises and falls. Many of the changes you experience during perimenopause are a result of decreasing estrogen.
Menopause is a normal phase in life. But it may occur earlier in some women than in others. Although not always conclusive, some evidence suggests that certain factors may make it more likely that you start perimenopause at an earlier age, including:
Smoking. The onset of menopause occurs one to two years earlier in women who smoke than in women who don't smoke.
Family history. Women with a family history of early menopause may experience early menopause themselves.
Cancer treatment. Treatment for cancer with chemotherapy or pelvic radiation therapy has been linked to early menopause.
Hysterectomy. A hysterectomy that removes your uterus, but not your ovaries, usually doesn't cause menopause. Although you no longer have periods, your ovaries still produce estrogen. But such surgery may cause menopause to occur earlier than average. Also, if you have one ovary removed, the remaining ovary might stop working sooner than expected.
Irregular periods are a hallmark of perimenopause. Most of the time this is normal and nothing to be concerned about. However, see your doctor if:
Bleeding is extremely heavy — you're changing tampons or pads every hour or two for two or more hours
Bleeding lasts longer than seven days
Bleeding occurs between periods
Periods regularly occur less than 21 days apart
Signs such as these may mean there's a problem with your reproductive system that requires diagnosis and treatment.
Perimenopause is a process — a gradual transition. No one test or sign is enough to determine if you've entered perimenopause. Your doctor takes many things into consideration, including your age, menstrual history, and what symptoms or body changes you're experiencing.
Some doctors may order tests to check your hormone levels. But other than checking thyroid function, which can affect hormone levels, hormone testing is rarely necessary or useful to evaluate perimenopause.
Drug therapy is often used to treat perimenopausal symptoms.
Hormone therapy. Systemic estrogen therapy — which comes in pill, skin patch, gel or cream form — remains the most effective treatment option for relieving perimenopausal and menopausal hot flashes and night sweats. Depending on your personal and family medical history, your doctor may recommend estrogen in the lowest dose needed to provide symptom relief for you. If you still have your uterus, you'll need progestin in addition to estrogen. Systemic estrogen can help prevent bone loss.
Vaginal estrogen. To relieve vaginal dryness, estrogen can be administered directly to the vagina using a vaginal tablet, ring or cream. This treatment releases just a small amount of estrogen, which is absorbed by the vaginal tissue. It can help relieve vaginal dryness, discomfort with intercourse and some urinary symptoms.
Antidepressants. Certain antidepressants related to the class of drugs called selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) may reduce menopausal hot flashes. An antidepressant for management of hot flashes may be useful for women who can't take estrogen for health reasons or for women who need an antidepressant for a mood disorder.
Gabapentin (Neurontin). Gabapentin is approved to treat seizures, but it has also been shown to help reduce hot flashes. This drug is useful in women who can't use estrogen therapy for health reasons and in those who also have migraines.
Before deciding on any form of treatment, talk with your doctor about your options and the risks and benefits involved with each. Review your options yearly, as your needs and treatment options may change.
In addition to conventional therapies, many women transitioning toward menopause want to know more about complementary and alternative approaches to treating symptoms. Researchers are looking into these therapies to determine their safety and effectiveness, but evidence is still often lacking.
Some of the options studied include:
Black cohosh. This herb extract is used by some women to treat hot flashes and other menopausal symptoms. There's not enough evidence to support its use. Experts also are unsure of what risks taking black cohosh poses. Past studies suggested that black cohosh was harmful to the liver, but a more recent review of studies found no evidence that this is true. Researchers also question whether the herb extract is safe for women with or at risk of breast cancer.
Phytoestrogens. These estrogens occur naturally in certain foods. Two main types of phytoestrogens are isoflavones and lignans. Isoflavones are found in soybeans, chickpeas and other legumes. Lignans occur in flaxseed, whole grains, and some fruits and vegetables. There are also plant-derived compounds that have estrogen-like properties.
Isoflavone supplements generally come from soy or red clover. Lignans come mainly from flaxseed. Studies on phytoestrogens — whether from food or supplements — conflict on whether they help reduce menopausal symptoms. Studies also conflict on whether it's possible that phytoestrogens could increase the risk of breast cancer or interfere with the effectiveness of tamoxifen.
Bioidentical hormones. The term "bioidentical" implies the hormones in the product are chemically identical to those your body produces. However, compounded bioidentical hormones aren't regulated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so quality and risks could vary. There's also no evidence that compounded bioidentical hormones are safer or more effective than convention hormone therapy.
Dehydroepiandrosterone (DHEA). This natural steroid produced by your adrenal gland is available as a dietary supplement and has been used by some to improve sexual interest. But evidence on its effectiveness is mixed, and there are some concerns about possible harmful effects.
Low-risk complementary therapies, such as acupuncture, yoga and paced breathing may help reduce stress and improve psychological well-being. Research on acupuncture for decreasing hot flashes is inconclusive, but promising. Relaxation can help reduce stress, which may in turn help improve menopausal symptoms.
Talk with your doctor before taking any herbal or dietary supplements for perimenopausal or menopausal symptoms. The FDA does not regulate herbal products, and some can be dangerous or interact with other medications you take, putting your health at risk.

You want fun, you want frustration, you want challenges, you sure want SPACE MAX.
The new retro-style supper addicted game now comes to SPACE !!!
I normally never give a one star out of the gate but unfortunately the game is not playable in its current state. As soon as the ship spawns it races really fast toward the top of the screen and to the right. Every single time. There's no way to calibrate the controls. There's no way to change the controls.
Please fix the game so I can try again.
I'll adding a clearer tutorial in the next version.
Working on version 1.1 with all the pre-released as well as 2-days after launch feedbacks, also will add in the ranking title system (from "Star Chicken" to "Star Lord") based on the high score.

Jehu (, ;  , "Yah is He") son of Hanani was a prophet mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, who was active during the 9th century BC.

Biblical account
According to the Bible, Jehu condemned Baasha, king of Israel, and the House of Baasha (1 Kings 16:7), accusing him of leading the people into the sin of idolatry like his predecessor Jeroboam. Jehu foretold that:
surely [God] will take away the posterity of Baasha and the posterity of his house, and ... will make your house like the house of Jeroboam the son of Nebat. The dogs shall eat whoever belongs to Baasha and dies in the city, and the birds of the air shall eat whoever dies in the fields.

His words were fulfilled in the reign of Elah, Baasha's son, when the traitor Zimri assassinated Elah and murdered all of Baasha's family and associates. ()

Jehu also challenged Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. Jehoshaphat's alliance with Ahab ended in the latter's death at the Battle of Ramoth-Gilead. Jehoshaphat returned safely, but Jehu rebuked him for helping the wicked king Ahab. He went on to say that nevertheless the Lord found good in the king, as he had removed the Asherah poles from the land and set his heart to seek God. ()

Family
Hanani, Jehu's father, was also a prophet, who rebuked king Asa of Judah for entering into a league with Ben-Hadad I, king of Syria, against the northern kingdom of Israel ().
