10 Red Flags That Will Get Your Small Business a CRA Audit
How to Avoid Triggering a CRA Audit

Every business or individual dreads a letter from the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) notifying them that they are going to be subject to a CRA audit. Approximately 30,000 such letters were sent out in 2017 according to tax experts. Business tax returns are especially scrutinized, and while there's no sure-fire way to avoid a CRA audit, you can cut down the odds by paying attention to the top 10 red flags that will increase your small business audit risk.
What Types of Businesses Are Most Likely to Be Audited?
The following data (taken from the Canada Revenue Agency Annual Report to Parliament 2013-2014) clearly illustrates that the bulk of resources that the CRA dedicates to business tax compliance goes to small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) :
CRA Program % of CRA Program Spending
Small to Medium Business (SMEs) 54%
International/Large Business 28%
Scientific Research Credits 7%
Criminal Investigations 5%
Voluntary Disclosure 1%
Top 10 Red Flags for a CRA Audit
1) Revenue discrepancies.
Be aware that your revenue will be compared across all tax forms, so the revenue you declare on your income tax form will be compared with the revenue declared on your GST/HST tax return, your spouse's tax return, and "information on tax returns with information provided by employers, financial institutions, and other third parties". If they don't match, it's CRA audit time.
2) Being an outlier.
Declaring business income that's significantly higher or lower than the norm in your industry will also immediately draw interest. The CRA has extensive information about the profit margins and incomes for various industries and will compare your income to what's "usual" for such a business.
3) Deducting large business expenses.
While being able to deduct business expenses from your income tax is one of the big tax advantages of operating a business, you need to be cautious about it. Advertising and promotion, meals and entertainment, travel, miscellaneous and interest expenses are of particular interest to the CRA, according to Presley and Partners. Claiming large deductions in any of these areas is like setting out a salt lick in terms of increasing your small business audit risk.
Learn the ins and outs of claiming meals and entertainment expenses.
4) Claiming the home office deduction.
The home office deduction is a great deal because if you qualify for it, you can deduct a percentage of your rent, real estate taxes, utilities, phone bills, insurance and other costs. But because to claim this deduction you have to use the work space in your home only to earn business income and use it regularly to meet with clients, customers or patients, most small businesses don't qualify, and the Canada Revenue Agency knows this. If you're not using your home office space exclusively for business purposes, give this deduction a miss.
5) Claiming 100% business use of a vehicle.
MK & Associates call claiming this on your income tax red meat for CRA agents. Agents know that it's extremely rare for an individual to actually use a vehicle 100% of the time for business, especially if no other vehicle is available for personal use and will zone in accordingly. It's also a particularly easy tax deduction for auditors to disallow because so few people keep the required records properly. Learn how to keep a logbook to claim motor vehicle expenses.
6) Changes in shareholder loans and large balances.
Corporate business owners also need to take heed that changes in shareholder loans or debit balances are red flags too. The CRA looks for personal expenses recorded as business expenses and loans taken from a company.
7) Running a cash-intensive business.
The CRA realizes that businesses that have lots of opportunity to take in cash also have lots of temptation not to report all of their taxable income. So if you operate a business such as a restaurant, hair salon, bar, or other retail business, operate a tax service business or are a renovation or home improvement contractor, expect extra scrutiny from the get-go.
8) Recurring losses.
Losses happen. And a single business loss is not cause in itself for an CRA audit. But several years of losses in a row will trigger one, especially when those business losses have been used to offset other income. Remember, to qualify as a business, there has to be a reasonable expectation of profit, and the CRA's idea of what's reasonable may differ substantially from yours.
9) Making large charitable deductions.
Once again, this falls outside the norm increasing the risk of a small business audit. The Canada Revenue Agency knows exactly how much taxpayers at your income level usually give to charity, so a red flag pops up when your charitable donations exceed that number. Donations involving capital property are especially likely to be reviewed.
10) Having family on the payroll.
There's nothing wrong with having your spouse or child work as an employee in your business; this kind of income splitting is perfectly legitimate – as long as you follow the rules. The problem is that many small businesses don't, making small businesses that put their spouse or child on the payroll an easy target for auditors.
Individuals claiming self-employed status tend to garner additional scrutiny from the CRA. The tax advantages of self-employment make it an attractive form of business; however, the distinction between employment and self-employment is not always cut and dried and care must be taken to ensure that the rules for qualification are followed. See Independent Contractor vs Employee: Which One Are You?
Being certain you follow the tax rules for being self-employed is especially important because rejection of self-employment status by the CRA can lead to disqualification of business expense claims (which can be applied retroactively for prior year's tax returns).
Honesty and Prudence Are the Best Policies
While it's true that the CRA does a certain number of audits each year just to check compliance, whether or not your small business gets audited is largely within your control. Meticulous recordkeeping and scrupulous honesty will go a long way towards keeping the auditors away from your door. And then if they ever do show up, you'll have nothing to hide and the documentation you need to support your tax claims.

Uno ionomero ( iono- + -mer ) è un polimero composto da unità costitutive che possono essere sia elettricamente neutre che ionizzate. Questi gruppi carichi sono comunque legati covalentemente alla catena polimerica come gruppi funzionali di gruppi laterali. Di solito si ionizza una parte ridotta del polimero, fino al 15% in moli. I portatori di carica sono spesso gruppi carbossilici.

Per classificare un polimero come ionomero è importante stabilire il numero delle unità monomeriche che sono ionizzate e, inoltre, questa classificazione dipende anche da come i gruppi ionici sono incorporati nella struttura del polimero. Ad esempio, anche i polielettroliti hanno gruppi ionici legati in modo covalente allo scheletro polimerico, ma hanno un livello di sostituzione molare del gruppo ionico molto più elevato (di solito superiore all'80%); gli ioneni sono polimeri in cui i gruppi ionici fanno parte della backbone del polimero. Queste due classi di polimeri contenenti gruppi ionici hanno proprietà fisiche molto diverse dagli ionomeri e pertanto non rientrano in questa categoria.

Gli ionomeri hanno proprietà fisiche uniche tra cui la conducibilità elettrica e un comportamento particolare della viscosità: c'è un aumento della viscosità per una soluzione ionomerica con l'aumentare delle temperature (vedi polimero conduttore ). Gli ionomeri hanno anche proprietà morfologiche uniche poiché la catena polimerica non polare è energeticamente incompatibile con i gruppi ionici polari. Di conseguenza, i gruppi ionici nella maggior parte degli ionomeri subiranno una separazione in microfase, andando a formare domini ricchi di ioni.

Alcune applicazioni commerciali per gli ionomeri includono: coperture per palline da golf, membrane semipermeabili, nastri sigillanti ed elastomeri termoplastici . Alcuni esempi comuni di ionomeri sono ilpolistirene solfonato, il Nafion e l'Hycar .

Sintesi
Di solito la sintesi degli ionomeri consiste di due passaggi: il primo è l'introduzione di gruppi acidi nella struttura polimerica e nel secondo si neutralizza alcuni dei gruppi acidi da parte di un catione metallico. In casi molto rari, i gruppi introdotti sono già neutralizzati da un catione metallico. Il primo step della sintesi può essere realizzato in due modi: o un monomero non ionico neutro viene copolimerizzato con un monomero che contiene gruppi acidi laterali, oppure, i gruppi acidi possono essere aggiunti ad un polimero non ionico attraverso delle modifiche post-polimerizzazione. Ad esempio, l'acido etilen-metacrilico e il perfluorocarbursolfonato (Nafion) vengono sintetizzati tramite copolimerizzazione mentre il polistirene solfonato viene sintetizzato tramite modifiche post-polimerizzazione.

Nella maggior parte dei casi, viene sintetizzata la forma acida del copolimero (cioè il 100% dei gruppi COO- viene neutralizzato dai cationi H+) e lo ionomero viene formato mediante successiva neutralizzazione basica da parte di un appropriato catione metallico. Anche l'identità del catione metallico neutralizzante ha un effetto sulle proprietà fisiche finali dello ionomero; i cationi metallici più comunemente usati nella ricerca accademica sono zinco, sodio e magnesio. Per realizzare la neutralizzazione ci sono due vie principali: in una il copolimero acido può essere miscelato allo stato fuso con un metallo basico, nell'altra la neutralizzazione può essere ottenuta attraverso reazioni in soluzione. Il primo metodo è quello più commercialmente diffuso. Tuttavia, poiché le aziende sono riluttanti a condividere le proprie procedure, si sa poco sulle condizioni esatte del processo della miscelazione allo stato fuso, a parte il fatto che sono utilizzati degli idrossidi per fornire il catione metallico. In ambienti accademici e di ricerca si predilige, invece, il secondo metodo. Si scioglie il copolimero acido e si aggiunge a una sua soluzione, un sale basico con il catione metallico desiderato. Per facilitare la dissoluzione del copolimero acido, si può provare a rigonfiarlo con il solvente, sebbene la dissoluzione sia sempre preferita. Poiché i sali basici sono polari e non sono solubili nei solventi non polari utilizzati per dissolvere la maggior parte dei polimeri, vengono spesso utilizzati solventi misti (ad es. 90:10 toluene/alcool).

Il livello di neutralizzazione deve essere determinato dopo la sintesi poiché variando il livello di neutralizzazione variano le proprietà morfologiche e fisiche dello ionomero. Per quantificare la neutralizzazione, un metodo possibile è l'analisi IR delle altezze di picco della forma acida. Tuttavia, potrebbe esserci un errore sistematico nel determinare l'altezza del picco, soprattutto perché piccole quantità di acqua appaiono nello stesso intervallo di numeri d'onda. Può essere utilizzata anche la titolazione dei gruppi acidi, anche se non è un metodo che si può applicare a tutti i sistemi.

Surlyn
Surlyn è il nome commerciale di una resina ionomerica prodotta da DuPont e si tratta di un copolimero di etilene e acido metacrilico impiegato come rivestimento e materiale da imballaggio. DuPont usa NaOH come agente neutralizzatore, producendo così il sale sodico. I cristalli di ionomeri dell'acido etilen-metacrilico mostrano un duplice comportamento di fusione.

Applicazioni
Dopo aver complessato gli ioni metallici nella matrice polimerica, le proprietà meccaniche del sistema dello ionomero aumentano. Gli ionomeri sono stati utilizzati per aumentare la tenacità del sistema complessivo in diverse applicazioni, quali rivestimenti, adesivi, materiali termoplastici o come attenuatori dell'impatto, uno degli esempi più noti è l'uso di Surlyn nello strato esterno delle palline da golf. Il rivestimento ionomero migliora la tenacità, l'aerodinamica e la durabilità delle palline da golf. Gli ionomeri possono anche essere miscelati con altre resine per aumentare la forza coesiva senza diminuire l'appiccicosità complessiva, in modo tale da riuscire a creare adesivi sensibili alla pressione per una varietà di applicazioni, inclusi adesivi con una base acquosa o di un solvente. Gli ionomeri che utilizzano catene di poli(etilen-acido metacrilico) possono essere utilizzati anche nei film per imballaggi grazie alla loro trasparenza, tenacità, flessibilità, resistenza alle macchie, elevata permeabilità ai gas e bassa temperatura di sigillatura. Queste qualità sono anche quelle che stimolano la richiesta di ionomeri per l'imballaggio alimentare.

Inoltre, l'aggiunta degli ioni al polimero fanno aumentare anche la viscosità del materiale. Questo comportamento può rendere gli ionomeri un buon materiale per applicazioni in fanghi di perforazione in cui il sistema è sottoposto a una bassa velocità di taglio. L'uso degli ionomeri per aumentare la viscosità del sistema aiuta a prevenire comportamenti di assottigliamento al taglio (shear-thinning) all'interno del fluido di perforazione, specialmente a temperature di esercizio elevate.

Un'altra applicazione possibile sfrutta la capacità di uno ionomero di aumentare la compatibilità dei blend polimerici. Questo fenomeno si basa sul fatto che alcune interazioni tra gruppi funzionali sono più termodinamicamente favorevoli in presenza di uno ione metallico. Oltre alla favorevole interazione attrattiva che si instaura tra catene differenti, si ha un effetto positivo anche dovuto alla maggiore repulsione tra parti dello stesso polimero, che portano cariche di segno uguale. Alcuni ionomeri sono stati utilizzati per applicazioni a memoria di forma (shape memory), termine che indica un materiale che, se deformato, può recuperare la forma originaria, se si scalda il materiale al di sopra di una determinata temperatura critica. Gli ionomeri possono formare reticolazioni, sia di tipo chimico che fisico che possono essere modificate facilmente a temperature di lavorazione moderate, sono meno densi delle leghe a memoria di forma e hanno una maggiore possibilità di essere biocompatibili per i dispositivi biomedici.

Alcune applicazioni più recenti per gli ionomeri includono l'uso come membrane iono-selettive in una varietà di applicazioni elettroniche ed energetiche. Tra queste, vi sono una membrana a scambio cationico per celle a combustibile, la quale consente solo determinati ioni di attraversare la membrana; una membrana elettrolitica polimerica (PEM) per ottimizzare il rivestimento uniforme del catalizzatore sulle superfici della membrana; un separatore per batterie a flusso redox; all'interno dell'elettrodialisi, in cui la membrana ionomera facilita il trasporto tra le due soluzioni e, infine, in dei compressori elettrochimici di idrogeno sono sfruttati per aumentare la resistenza della membrana contro i gradienti di pressione che possono verificarsi all'interno del compressore.

Irezumi
New Year Body Transformation • Drama
1966 • Japan • Directed by Yasuzô Masumura
Drawn from the pen of one of Japan's foremost writers of the 20th century, Junichiro Tanizaki (A Fool's Love, The Makioka Sisters), Irezumi is a stylish tale of lust, betrayal and revenge directed by Yasuzo Masumura (Giants and Toys, Blind Beast). Masumura's muse Ayako Wakao (The Blue Sky Maiden, Red Angel) stars as Otsuya, the daughter of a rich merchant, who is tempted by her lover, Shinsuke, a lowly employee of her father's, to elope. During their flight, Otsuya's beauty attracts the gaze of Seikichi, a mysterious master tattooist who sees her pristine white skin as the perfect canvas for his art. The image of the large demonic spider that he emblazons across Otsuya's back marks her as the property of another man, radically altering her relationships with all around her as her personality transforms under its influence. Available for the first time outside of Japan in a new restoration, Irezumi sports some of Japanese cinema's most respected talent of its day both in front of and behind the camera. The bewitching cinematography by Kazuo Miyagawa (Rashomon, Ugetsu) captures the sensual atmosphere of the period setting, while the script by Kaneto Shindo (Onibaba, Kuroneko) lends a modern twist to this feverish meditation on obsession and the act of creation.

The Seguin River is a river in Parry Sound District in central Ontario, Canada that empties into Parry Sound on Georgian Bay, Lake Huron at the town of Parry Sound. The river's name comes from the Ojibwe word ziigwan, meaning "spring".

Course
The Seguin River begins at Horn Lake near the community of Bear Lake in the municipality of McMurrich/Monteith. It is joined by a tributary off of Bear lake, then turns southwest and enters the township of Seguin, flows through Upper Fry Lake and Lower Fry Lake and passes north over a series of waterfalls near the community of Seguin Falls, at which point it is crossed by the former path of the Ottawa, Arnprior and Parry Sound Railway, now the recreational Seguin Trail rail trail. The river turns again southwest into Isabella Lake where it takes in the left tributary Little Seguin River. It continues southwest over the Serpent Rapids, the Indian Rapids and the Hab Rapids, passes into the township of McDougall, and takes in the right tributary Manitouwabing River. The Seguin continues through Mountain Chute to reach Mill Lake in the town of Parry Sound, where it takes in the left tributary Haines Creek, heads under Ontario Highway 400 then over Mill Lake Dam, and takes in the right tributary Darlington's Creek. It then flows under a low bridge carrying the Canadian National Railway main line, over the Cascade Street Dam and Cascade Street Generating Station, over the Trestle Dam, under the high Parry Sound CPR Trestle that carries the Canadian Pacific Railway, and reaches its mouth at Parry Sound.

In addition to the already named towns, townships and municipalities in Parry Sound District, portions of the Seguin River drainage basin lie in the township McKellar, Parry Sound District, and less than 1% lies in the geographic township of Cardwell, part of the township of Muskoka Lakes in Muskoka District.

History
A sawmill built at the mouth of the river in 1857 was one of the first industries in the area, and which later led to the founding of the town of Parry Sound. The river was also used to float down the logs cut in the forests upstream. Ice hockey legend Bobby Orr learned to skate on the frozen river.

Natural history
The  Seguin River Conservation Reserve is located on the river at the mouth of the Manitouwabing River. It protects upland forest, steep cliff and metavolcanic bedrock outcropping landscapes.

Would you like to save $4,000 per year on your prescription drug plan costs?
That's how much Medicare estimates beneficiaries can save if they enroll in the Extra Help program. If you are enrolled in Medicare's Part D prescription drug program, you know that you have to pay for premiums, deductibles and, if you reach the "doughnut hole", at least half the cost of your prescription drugs. Medicare's Low-Income Subsidy (LIS) or "Extra Help" Program can pick up many of those costs. The program can also reduce your co-pay to no more than $2.65 per generic drug prescription and $6.60 for each brand-name medicine.
If you think you may qualify for the Extra Help program, you should call the Social Security Administration at 1-800-772-1213 or visit socialsecurity.gov/extrahelp to apply online to complete an application. SSA will send you a letter to let you know if you qualify for the Extra Help.

« PDAA Annual Awards Program: Sunday, May 3rd Featuring a Brunch
First Monday Panel: Intl Broadcasts Explaining Policy to Mideast »
March 30 PDAA Lunch Panel Assesses Southern Border and Immigration Challenges
(U.S. Customs and Border Protection)
Updated, 31 March 2015. The Monday, March 30 PDAA luncheon program addressed immigration problems along our vast southern border and how to effectively communicate about them in a way consistent with American laws and values. According to some estimates, there are as many as 11 million undocumented immigrants living in the U.S. today, a more than 300% increase over the last 14 years, with most of the recent immigrants coming from our southern border.
The event — Welcoming the World, Securing the Southern Border: U.S. Immigration Issues and Public Diplomacy Challenges — featured three panelists: Peter Boogaard, Deputy Assistant Secretary for Public Affairs, Department of Homeland Security (DHS); Liza Davis, Director, Office of Press and Public Diplomacy, Bureau of Western Hemisphere Affairs, Department of State; and Christopher Wilson, the Senior Associate at the Mexico Institute of the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars in Washington, D.C.
Christopher Wilson
The expert panelists offered diverse national security, public diplomacy and public affairs, and think-tank perspectives on some of the many complex issues which affect border security, the flows of legal and illegal people and goods, and relations with neighbors like Mexico and Central American nations like Guatemala, Honduras, El Salvador and Nicaragua.
The subject of this PDAA event was unusually timely because of the ongoing debate about how to fix our broken immigration system. The topic was complicated because of the need for close inter-agency coordination and the intense U.S. and foreign media and public interest in a wide range of concerns surrounding immigration and the southern border — everything from humanitarian disasters and gun and drug smuggling to trade promotion and tourism.
Peter Boogaard
Boogaard oversees strategic communications for DHS, the third largest agency in the federal government. Before being named Deputy Assistant Secretary, he served as press secretary and primary spokesman for DHS, overseeing all components. Prior to joining DHS, he served as Press Secretary for Congressman Jim Cooper of Tennessee, and he also worked in the MSNBC documentary division, where he assisted in the production and management of all non-live MSNBC programming.
Liza Davis (left) and PDAA president Amb. Greta Morris
Davis, a Senior Foreign Service Officer, has had public diplomacy postings to Managua, Nicaragua; Tijuana, Mexico; and London, U. K., and assignments in both USIA headquarters and the State Department in Washington.
Wilson leads the Wilson Center Mexico Institute's research and programming on U.S.-Mexico border affairs and regional economic integration. Coauthor of the "State of the Border Report" (Wilson Center, 2013), he has testified before the U.S. Congress and is regularly consulted by national and international media outlets regarding U.S.-Mexico relations.

Human and civil rights advocates join investors to press Facebook's top institutional shareholders for concrete commitments ahead of the company's Annual General Meeting.
Letter from 78 organizations released as Facebook agrees to conduct an audit of the social media platform's impact on underrepresented communities and communities of color.
Facebook's largest institutional investors – including well-known firms such as Vanguard, Fidelity and BlackRock – are being challenged to take action to address critical concerns regarding the social media platform's handling of risk, privacy and transparency.
The pressure comes from 78 organizations which today released a joint letter calling on the big shareholders to step out from the background and use their influence to demand better from one of the world's most powerful companies. The letter is signed by leaders of diverse organizations, including prominent human and civil rights groups, major impact investment firms, faith-based investors and foundations. Investors signing the letter represent approximately $62 billion in assets under management.
The letter notes demands by advocates in the U.S. for an audit to assess the civil rights impact of Facebook's policies and practices and the company's agreement - confirmed earlier today - to conduct such an audit of the platform's impact on underrepresented communities and communities of color. "We look forward to learning the results of that process and the implementation of appropriate corrective actions by the company," the letter states.
The joint letter also highlights two shareholder resolutions that are currently pending at Facebook and notes calls to separate the roles of CEO and board Chair, both of which are now held by company founder Mark Zuckerberg, who has spent years promising change while only delivering more problems.
Facebook's Annual General Meeting is scheduled to be held May 31 in Menlo Park, California.
You can read the full letter and see the list of signers here.
"Right now, Facebook is not a safe platform for communities of color. Black activists regularly have content removed that mentions racism or white supremacy. Law enforcement agencies like Immigrations and Custom Enforcement access the Facebook data of immigrants without due process or cause. Muslim users on the platform face constant threats and harassment.

At our place, no two rooms are alike. It is their design and details that make them so special and memorable.
Just like when you are visiting someone, a caring friend will make sure that you can curl up in a comfortable bed, lined with exclusive Egyptian bed linen. In our bathrooms you will find a hairdryer and luxurious toiletries from Rituals.
There is also an iron and ironing board in the room if you need them.
We don't offer you the traditional minibar. Instead we like "Bar upon request". Everything on the bar menu can be brought up to your room. That makes the range of drinks, food and snacks available much larger than what fits in a small fridge, not to mention more environmentally friendly.
At our place, each room is uniquely decorated and many of our guests have their favourites. We have divided our rooms into five different categories, mostly based on their size.

The government Saturday said the situation along the International Border and Line of Control (LoC) in Jammu province is tense and nine people have been killed and 46 others injured in three days of cross-border firing and shelling.
Speaking on behalf of the government, Minister for Health Bali Bhagat told Legislative Assembly that they have issued an alert for health department in shelling prone areas along the IB and LoC.
He said over 400 kilometers of borderline, which includes both IB and LoC is very tense and people living in these areas are not safe.
The minister said nine deaths including five civilians, two army men and two BSF men have taken place so far in cross border shelling.
He said 46 people were also injured and they were brought to Jammu hospitals. "10 injured have been discharged," he said.
The Health Minister said they have issued an alert and 197 ambulances have been dispatched to the area.
"The health department in the area has been instructed to work 24×7," he said.
He said additional surgeon, orthopedician and anesthetist have been deployed in every Public Health Center and Sub-district hospitals in the affected belt.
Bhagat said six ambulances have been kept at disposal in Bisnah, 12 in Akhnoor, four in Mud, three in District hospital Samba, eight in Kathua, seven in Nowshehra, seven in Darhal, seven in Sunderbani, nine in Poonch and 14 in Surankote.
As the minister was briefing the house, Congress legislative party leader Nawang Rigzin Jora countered him saying, "If people are dying on borders what was your National Security Advisor doing with his Pakistani counterpart in Bangkok".
Meanwhile, Minister for Revenue and Parliamentary Affairs Abdul Rehman Veeri said that it has been the stand of the government that a reconciliation process should be started between two nuclear armed neighbouring nations so that peace can prevail on the borders.
"Whenever there is firing on the border, people of J&K are the worst sufferers and if we want peace to prevail then reconciliation is very important," he said.
Earlier, when proceedings of the house started, state BJP president Sat Paul Sharma raised the issue. He condemned ceasefire violations by the Pakistani troops.
"Where are the 10 heads of Pakistanis which Modi claimed he would get for each armed forces personnal killed on this side," NC leader and MLA Pahalgam Altaf Kaloo told the BJP members.
Senior NC leader and MLA Khanyar Ali Muhammad Sagar said the government is so insensitive on the issue that it didn't even inform the house about the situation although the matter was raised by members yesterday.
Amid sloganeering, Veeri tried to pacify the opposition members by saying that the government will give a statement.
However, the members thronged to well of the house and mocked the BJP MLAs, who were protesting against the ceasefire violations by Pakistan.
National Conference MLA Mendhar Javed Rana accused the ruling BJP MLAs of resorting to dramatics to fool people.
"Today your bluff is caught. You are in government and are trying to protest also. Go talk on the borders now," he said.
Congress MLA from Bandipora Usman Majeed said that it was ironic that the MoS PMO Jitendra Singh was issuing statements that the opposition was silent on the issue.
Later the opposition staged a walkout from the house.
Meanwhile, the government has cancelled sanctioned leaves of doctors and paramedical staff in five districts of Jammu region in view of spurt in cross-border firing and shelling.
In an order, Director Health Services Jammu directed the doctors and paramedical staff posted in Jammu, Samba, Kathua, Rajouri and Poonch districts to resume their duties without fail and excuse.


This post is part of the iHomeschool Network's 10 in 10 link up. Today's topic is top 10 reasons my child loves homeschool. This was a fun topic because it required that I get some input from my daughter to discover what she would actually say about "loving" homeschool. As we talked and I took notes, it became clear that every reason she gave related in some way to her creative bent.
So I decided to take that approach to the list and share the top ten reasons why a creative child will prefer to be homeschooled.
The creative mind is a very interesting thing. It has flashes of inspiration that require immediate follow-through. I used to be suspect of my daughter's requests for time to work on her latest project. I assumed she was merely trying to avoid school work. But it turns out that her creative urges are almost overpowering. When an idea strikes, she can think of nothing else until she has tried it.
I learned that doing school during those moments was counterproductive. She normally returns from her creative adventures with a renewed focus for academics. So I trust her creative binges and allow her the time she desires.
All homeschoolers love the flexibility of this type of education, but it seems even more critical for the creative child.
The second reason Sprite offered for enjoying homeschool is that she can integrate her creative pursuits into her education. She cited clay models for science or drawings for history as two examples of how she can use her artistic skills to demonstrate her learning.
Although public schools sometimes call for these kinds of projects, they are rare. With homeschool, she has a lot of freedom to choose how to narrate a lesson, whether it be a traditional written explanation or a more unusual format.
Besides having flexible time, there is simply more time overall for getting crafty. No busy work, no "homework," no tests to cram for. We can focus our attention on school for a few hours a day, and when that is done, we have plenty of leisure for personal hobbies.
Sprite recently made a gorgeous scarf on a nifty knitter loom. She did most of it while listening to an audio book (from the Fablehaven series). She spent approximately 8 hours on that project and ended up with a beautiful article of clothing that she can wear with pride.
Creatives may not perform as well on traditional tests as the more linear, left-brained thinkers, but in a homeschool environment, we have more freedom to evaluate on other, more favorable aspects of learning. Sprite is wrapping up seventh grade, and I'm thinking forward to high school when this will be very important.
I was quite surprised when Sprite cited this as a reason to homeschool. Obviously she is thinking about high school and college admission, too!
My mercenary child said that she often persuades me to buy craft supplies by claiming they are school supplies. Sneaky. But very true. The lines between school and crafts often get blurred. She has learned that art supplies don't count, and she uses that to her advantage.
We have enough Sharpie markers to outfit an army of artists, buckets of adhesives, and reams of paper in all patterns, colors, and thicknesses.
Yes, public schools take museum field trips, but not as often as we go. And a trip to the Brooks Museum homeschool program is our school for the day (well, with the addition of some Teaching Textbooks math).
I guess this puts me in the "cool mom" category. But why not? We bought this table just for crafts and homeschool. I find the Sharpie sketches add a lot of interest to an otherwise boring table.
Yes, I still read aloud to Sprite (against Miss Mason's advice). And while I do that, she can keep her hands busy with whatever her latest passion is — sculpey clay figures, knitting, drawing, zentangles, or mod podge creations.
I would have never considered this benefit of homeschooling the creative child. But it was an aspect that Sprite was very adamant about. She has obviously seen enough criticism of her work in other arenas to fear that public school would be the same.
With homeschooling, it is only family who sees her work. She can be very selective of who sees her projects outside of the confines of supportive parents.
This last reason is one that hit me after reading Penelope Trunk's amazing blog post The Argument Against Raising Well-rounded Kids. When you homeschool a creative child, you can allow more time, more flexibility, more resources, and more support for creative pursuits. I've already mentioned all that. But each of those benefits work together to allow a child to become a creative specialist.
Why dwell on weaknesses? (To do so is depressing drudgery.) But to emphasize strengths creates a confident child who has a leg up when it comes time to specialize in adult life. We tailor our Charlotte Mason homeschool to highlight Sprite's unique creativity.
If you have a creative child, please consider homeschool as an option. You will be able to nurture that creative spirit in a way that public school simply cannot afford.
Goodness! I thought I was so creative in writing that same topic. Hilarious!
Love your list and all the pictures!
I appreciate this post and I think it's very applicable for us too. We're just getting started in homeschooling and I have a very creative child as well, but mine is my son. And if creativity is undervalued and pushed to the side in public schools even with girls I think it's just doubly the case when it comes to a creative boy. I'm looking forward to giving him room to pursue his gift of creativity through our homeschool without pressure or judgment.
We just visited with our facilitator yesterday and I was discussing this very thing with him. My oldest specializes in photography and piano, my second in drawing and painting and my youngest is still undecided.
The beauty of HS-ing though is that they have this freedom. Usually when they didn't excell in a certain area they would be discouraged, but in this enviroment they flourish in the areas they love because they are encouraged to excell in their chosen interests. I love that.
What a beautiful scarf/shawl Sprite made — I really admire how you just let her be HERSELF and don't try to fit her into a mold of "doing school" each day. We celebrate this kind of creativity in adults, so why not children, too?
Love your list! All good reasons for homeschooling. The scarf is truly beautiful, thanks for sharing.
I still read to my kids, too. In fact, it is usually built into the schedule as their art time and my read aloud time. We just finished Oliver Twist and I am amazed they liked it so much. But then, we are big fans of Twain so it would follow that they'd appreciate Dickens as well. I just wish my most creative one would return to his work with renewed vigor.
Love this list! It's so wonderful to be able to spend hours pursuing our interests. Once a friend and I took our kids to a local museum every day for weeks. The kids were very interested in wolves so we immersed ourselves in the wolf exhibit. When even made a lapbook while we were there. The staff was so helpful in answering their questions and loved that their finished products.
I'm in awe of her desk. You are the cool mom!
why dwell on weaknesses?! agreed. I make sure to cover the bases in weak areas, but then we move on to their strengths (which are also often their passions). a sure way to instill the LOVE of learning.
have a great weekend, Jimmie!
I think it is wonderful that she sees homeschooling as such a positive part of her life. It makes me wonder if I would have pursued other activities that I enjoyed, even though I wasn't the best at them, if I didn't have to deal with outside criticism.
I love this. My girls are both very creative, which was a big reason why we took them out of public school and chose to homeschool them. In school their creativity had parameters…but we felt it best for them to be able to have more freedom. Our favorite thing about homeschool lifestyle is that, on average, "school" takes 3-4 hours a day and they then have the rest of their time to create!
Hi Jimmie! I'ts been some time since I've visited homeschooling blogs due to the fact that we are only two years away from my hanging up my " homeschooling" hat for good, but I always enjoyed your posts and decided to wonder over…I'm so glad I did! I love this! I understand it can be scary for some homeschooling parents to think of art as " school " but it is. I never looked at what our children made as the measuring stick for how they were doing in art. Even though it was always fun to see the outcome! Expressing creativity and exploring different art mediums builds confidence in a child. It also gives them a chance to find out if they have any special talents. Both of our children write lyrics and one of them composes music. I strongly believe it was the freedom they had as young homeschooling children to play, discover, and create that laid the foundation for them having the confidence to be bold in their creative choices now. I know it will serve them their whole lives through! I also believe anyone can " teach art ", various techniques etc… but true creativity comes from with in and that needs to be nurtured from the very beginning! Wishing you and Sprite many more creative homeschooling years!
Wonderful reasons, Jimmie and I so agree! Well done on that lovely scarf, Sprite!
I have watched my kids grow and develop in areas of creativity and innovation that could only be possible at home! My eldest has a passion for sewing and it is not part of her homeschooling curriculum, but her business that flows from her sewing is fuelled with skills she learnt in homeschool.
As homeschooled children they are encouraged to be an individual and to think for themselves and express themselves with conviction. They can be schooled in life skills such as persistence, perseverence and excellence. These attributes, along with creativity are a wonderful equipping!
I think we may live in the same neck of the woods! We enjoy going to the Brooks Museum as well, although my creative girl is a bit younger than yours! It's nice to see someone from around here doing a bit of "untraditional" homeschooling (not using ABeka or Bob Jones). I don't see that often and people often look at me like I have two heads when I tell them we are a CM style family!
I just so love that scarf, what a clever girl. What exactly is a niffty knitter loom, my daughter would love one?
Thank you, this is very interesting. I went to public school. I was slightly above average in some area of academics. I excel however in creativity! I never liked to read or did very well in English. In grade 11 I spent 3 months on an exchange and when I returned I had to do 5 months of work in 2 months. That semester I brought my average up 6% above normal. Since then I have always realized I am a self-taught learner and public school held me back from my potential. Even at that time I recognized I probably should have been home-schooled.
I long so much to homeschool my children. They struggle in school and one has a learning disability but I am a single mom and it is so hard to find a way to make it happen. Another interesting point regarding your article is that I actually just left my job last week because the job would not allow me to exercise my creativity and flex my hours. Your article helped me see why I long so much for this flexibility. I am aiming to work from home to better care for my kids so I am going to open my own business. This is hard work for a single mom but being there for my kids and following my dreams is more important than money.
Oh, Shani. I so hope that you can find a way to work at home, doing creative freelance work while you homeschool your children. It can be done! It is not easy. Not at all. But it is possible and so, so worth it. I pray you will find a way to make it happen.
I am unable to homeschool for financial reasons at this time (but I will be doing so as soon as I am able!), I've just got to find a way to "contain" this creativity! If my house were big enough, I'd make her a "craft room," but we don't have a room for that. She literally walks around the house cutting paper into flower leis, taping blankets to ceilings to make canopies over beds, wrapping yarn around toys to make mummies, and taping paper bowls upside down to her door to look like drums. And that doesn't include the days where she decides she wants to create a recipe.
1. your relationship — you value what she values.
2. her future — she can press into her creative side and develop that trait.
Thanks, Holly! Yes, homeschooling affords them the flexibility to pursue their passions. I love the options we have!
Homeschooling provides a safety net for kids. Rather than stifle or eliminate their creative energy, homeschooling encourages and nurtures it.
These are such great reasons. My creative kid loves that art supplies are not part of "school" and that he has more free time available.

In the current turbulent climate of division and friction between regions, nations, independent states, or whatever stance and its respective preferred nomenclature you wish, any reinforcement or celebration of unity is very much welcome. The recent international event, organized by the International Department here in UEV on the 27th October had precisely the commendable aim of presenting the country of Belgium, home to many of our incoming Erasmus students, and how an apparently divided country regionally, is at heart a strong unified one.
Open any news site and Belgium's European administrative quarter will be staring you in the face, so although geographically it is a small country, Belgium is undoubtedly a European heavyweight. With this in mind, a small number of our Belgian Erasmus students gave a talk with an engaging insight into Belgian life, and not only delighted the audience with the more folkloric aspects in the guise of Belgian chocolate, beer and how the Manneken Pis now has a female counterpart, but also provided us with a personal perspective of how the Belgians acknowledge and respect the cultural, political and social melting pot they have learned to live in, becoming a unified one when the occasion calls for it. Food for thought. And as we are on the subject of food, the talk was followed by a spread of gaufres, cuberdons, and speculoos, some home-baked (thanks Jennifer Leroux!).
Really, the only division evident in the whole event was a liking for either the Brussels or the Liege waffle. Thanks to all that participated.


My book this week is about the artist Paul Klee. Unfortunately I did not make it to see the recent exhibition at The Tate of his work but it did prompt me to select this book & revisit some of the images.... the pictures below are some of my favourites from this publication: beautiful colours & patterns.
Paul Klee is a giant of twentieth-century art and one of the great creative innovators of the time.
Witty, inventive, magical, his exquisite paintings resist easy classification. He is mentioned in the same breath as Matisse, Picasso and his Bauhaus contemporary Kandinsky. He cuts a radical figure in European modernism. His influence on abstraction can be seen in the works of Rothko, Miró and beyond. And yet, for an artist of such stature, there is still so much to discover about him.
Originally from Evesham, I worked from a studio in the Jewellery Quarter for 12 years after graduating from the School of Jewellery with a BA (Hons) in Jewellery & Silversmithing. In 2002 I moved by business to a studio at The Fold in Bransford, Worcestershire. More recently I have relocated my business & home to St Ives in Cornwall. I love being by the sea.... My jewellery often features quirky and imaginative animal & bird designs. Produced in silver with a bright finish or oxidised to create a matt finish. Alternatively base metal pieces are copper plated and brush finished. Inspiration includes children's illustrations, gardening, folk art & textiles. In addition to jewellery I also produce larger scale wall panels, garden sticks and greetings cards.
In our Drill Hall premises, along with my complete ranges of jewellery, metalwork & greetings cards we also have a selected range of other makers work on display including: wood, ceramics & textiles. Lots of affordable gift ideas or a treat for yourself!
After this Saturday we are CLOSED for a while…to refresh & revamp the gallery.
The Etsy shop is of course still open!

Who is Antonio Sanabria?
June 23, 2016 By mabbs Leave a Comment
Spurs have been strongly linked with Paraguayan striker Antonio Sanabria today, but the former Barcelona man is hardly what you would call a household name. Having been a part of Barca's youth set up since 2009, Sanabria was unable to make the breakthrough into the first team, and ultimately signed for Italian side Sassuolo in January 2014. It would later come to light that the player would be moving to Roma come July, as Roma had already reached their quota of foreign players at that time. Roma appeared desperate to get Antonio's signature, but the striker made just two first team appearances before going out on loan, returning to Spain with Sporting de Gijón. It is at Sporting where Sanabria has made a significant impact, scoring a brace as well as two hat-tricks in his year long loan spell.
Also known as Tonny Sanabria, the Paraguay international's performances in Spain have caught the attention of Tottenham gaffer Mauricio Pochettino, and Spurs have made an offer believed to be in the region of £11.5m for the young striker's services. Obviously a player who still has a serious amount of potential, Sanabria is going to be somewhat of a gamble, but he has been sought after by a number of clubs throughout his career thus far and is clearly a talent. Whether he is able to produce the goods in the Premier League on a consistent basis is open to question, but this is the sort of transfer fee where you are going to be taking a bit of a gamble. On the positive side, Sanabria is still very young but will have had a very sound grounding in the game during his time at Barcelona. His spell at Sporting de Gijón was the player's only real opportunity to show exactly what he is capable of, having got a significant run of games at a club for the first time in his career.
My one concern is the fact Tottenham brought in both Clinton N'Jie and Son Heung-min from other countries last season, with neither able to make much of an impact at the football club. Admittedly, N'Jie was injured for the bulk of the season, but maybe we need a proven Premier League goalscorer to support Harry Kane at the top of the park rather than players who need to adjust to the rigours of the English top flight. The price for a striker of this ilk would obviously be significantly higher, but if Tottenham are to continue to challenge at the top of the Premier League table while also being competitive in the Champions League, it's one worth paying.

Home » Find Laws » Business Laws » Sexual Harassment » What Can a Sexual Harassment Attorney Do?
Harassment attorneys are important in cases in which both individuals and employers harass one another. A typical defense for a sexual harassment attorney must be substantial enough to prove that the allegations against an individual are wrong.
A popular defense used by a sexual harassment attorney may be that the verbal, non-verbal, and/or physical actions of the defendant do not equate to the legal definition of sexual harassment. If proven, then this defense can help get a person off the hook. For example, if a court ruling finds that a victim is exaggerating a claim and that the individual in question did not intentionally violate them, sexual harassment will not be found to be present.
The issue of intent is a strong defense and prosecution that a harassment attorney can use. If a victim's intent is to get the other individual in legal trouble for other reasons, but is using harassment as the means to do it, then the case can be thrown out. Additionally, if the harasser had every intention of sexually harassing the victim, the sexual harassment attorney can use that to prosecute the harasser. Intent is important since many times a person is unaware that they are violating another.
The golden defense for a sexual harassment attorney is that the victim is lying completely about the harassment. When this happens, it is easy for the defense to form evidence against the victim and prove that the accused harasser was falsely accused.
Many times a harassment attorney will try to use a defense that proves that a victim invited the harassment onto themselves. This sometimes controversial defense works to prove that by dressing or acting a certain way, the victim encouraged the actions of the harasser. A really strategic defense can help a sexual harassment attorney prove this to be true.
On the contrary, a harassment attorney on the prosecuting side can claim that those allegations take the responsibility away from the harasser and place them on the victim. They can also claim that regardless of how someone looks or engages with another, it does not force the harasser to make the choice to harass.
In any harassment case, especially sexual harassment, a harassment attorney is necessary to navigate the unique laws that govern this area of law. Many times these cases can get confusing, and depending on the implications, can turn on the victim very quickly. A sexual harassment attorney will work to ensure that a victim is not misrepresented in court.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts reached 150,100 units in September, down from 157,300 units in August. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. attributes the decline to a 21.4 per cent drop in multiple-unit starts, to 62,700.

The seasonally adjusted annual rate of housing starts reached 150,100 units in September, down from 157,300 units in August. Canada Mortgage and Housing Corp. attributes the decline to a 21.4 per cent drop in multiple-unit starts, to 62,700. The agency reports urban singles rose 16.8 per cent to 68,800 units, their highest level so far this year. CMHC says housing demand has strengthened and predicts housing starts will be stronger in the second half of 2009. The seasonally adjusted annual rate of urban starts declined 5.2 per cent to 131,500 units in September. Urban starts rose 11.8 per cent in Ontario and fell 20.2 per cent in Quebec, 18.1 per cent in British Columbia and 4.7 per cent in the Atlantic. They were unchanged in the Prairies.
Rural starts were estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 18,600 units in September.
That's according to the latest house price survey by Royal LePage.
It says with the recession retreating, home prices are stabilizing and unit sales are increasingly driven by improved affordability. Royal LePage says the average price of a two storey home in Canada is up just 0.1 per cent from a year ago at $409,335. Average bungalow values grew 0.06 per cent year-over-year to $341,146, while the price of an average condo increased 0.09 per cent to $243,748. Royal LePage says a shortage in housing supply is leading to bidding wars in several cities, including Edmonton, Calgary, North and West Vancouver, and Victoria. While the Atlantic provinces saw a strong recovery in home prices, British Columbia and Alberta have been slower to recover from significant price corrections in 2008.

Home News Breaking News Asbury Park Press: Lakewood "Reckless" Smart-Growth Plan Not Too Smart
Asbury Park Press: Lakewood "Reckless" Smart-Growth Plan Not Too Smart
The following editorial appears in The Asbury Park Press: The Lakewood Township Committee is expected to vote tonight on a Smart Growth Plan that would establish broad parameters for how the township will grow over the next 20 years.
Under the plan, Lakewood's population, estimated at 70,000 in the 2008 Census update, would increase to a mind-boggling 230,000 by 2030.
There's nothing smart about that level of development in a community that has had trouble absorbing far less growth than that in the past two decades.
If the committee approves the plan tonight, as expected, we urge residents appalled by the prospect of even more intensive development of Lakewood in the years ahead to fight back as the plan wends its way through the state endorsement process and the township's master plan review process. Environmental groups also must join forces to oppose the plan.
If the Smart Growth Plan's 2030 population estimates come to pass, Lakewood would become the third-largest city in New Jersey, behind only Newark (280,000) and Jersey City (240,000). The plan would add 50,000 people in the next decade and another 80,000 between 2020 and 2030. To put that in perspective, between 2000 and 2008, the last year for which Census estimates are available, the population of Ocean County – one of the fastest-growing counties in the state – added fewer than 50,000 people. Monmouth County's population grew by 27,000 during that period.
Lakewood added 17,500 residents between 2000 and 2008, according to the county Planning Board – a far slower rate of growth than what is projected for the decades ahead. But even that pace of development put enormous strains on township services and created annual headaches for municipal and school board officials charged with balancing the budget. All too often, the only way to do it was to impose double-digit tax increases.
Among other things, the Smart Growth plan says Lakewood would need to double the number of housing units in the township to accommodate the projected growth in 20 years. That level of development would be insane. It would be certain to have an adverse impact on the environment – an issue that warranted just one paragraph in the Smart Growth Plan. Water from all of Lakewood drains into the Barnegat Bay via the Metedeconk River, whose northern and southern branches and many tributaries slice through much of the eastern half of Lakewood.
Lakewood is hopeful its Smart Growth Plan will receive the blessing of the state Office of Smart Growth. The state doesn't have the authority to reject the plan. But if it endorses it, Lakewood will be more likely to receive grants and other sources of funding for infrastructure improvements.
It's clear the Township Committee wants to grow as quickly as zoning and environmental regulations will allow. Those who believe in preserving the environment, maintaining a stable tax rate and allowing for a reasonable quality of life – a group we hope includes county and state planners – must do everything they can to head off the reckless pace of growth envisioned by Lakewood officials.
