Main Street Monday — How Minimum Wage Increases Affect Restaurant Cash Flow
Courtesy of Gary Levy
CPA, Hospitality Industry Practice Leader
CohnReznick
Twenty states had increased the minimum wage as of January 1, 2015 and now New York is joining those ranks at the end of this year. While intended to advance the earnings of lower-wage workers, the recently approved increase from $5.00 to $7.50 an hour for tipped employees in New York, to be implemented with no tip-credit relief, could negatively impact restaurateurs and their patrons and even the tipped employees themselves. The real winners may only be the federal and state tax authorities.
Assessing the Numbers
The cost to employ a server in New York has risen by 50% based on the additional $2.50 an hour. If a FTE server works 1,800 hours per year, the cost to employ a waiter has increased by $4,500. Assuming that the current business model for most restaurants does not change, the increase in labor costs can be staggering.
Is a New Business Model the Answer?
Restaurateurs are looking at new business models and strategies to offset these costs. The primary considerations are: raising prices, reducing labor hours, and reducing staff/terminating employees.
Another model being discussed – one that has gained a lot of momentum – is the elimination of tipping all together. Under this scenario, servers would be paid a fixed hourly rate and a fee or service charge, is added to the check (similar to a tip of 15% or 20%). Those monies would be used to pay servers an hourly rate equivalent to what they are currently making when tips are included.
A restaurant that included an 18% surcharge would be able to pay servers about $30 an hour with no added out-of-pocket costs associated with the new minimum wage. Guests may actually prefer this as they no longer need to figure out a tip or feel they need to evaluate a server with an economic reward of 15% for bad service and 20% for good service at the end of the meal.
"It works in Europe, but it will have big changes for the restaurant industry in the U.S.," said Nick Mautone, a restaurant consultant with CohnReznick. "Beyond the economic issues, there would be significant intangible effects for guests, employees, the restaurant, and even the federal and state tax authorities."
Impact on Guests with Service Charge Model
The effect on guests is straightforward. They would no longer need to tip, but will be required to pay a percentage surcharge on top of the menu items. The net cost should be relatively the same as when tipping was left to the guest's discretion. However, sales tax may need to be collected on the surcharge and that cost would likely be passed on to the guest. Moreover, it is likely that some patrons would prefer that restaurants just raise prices rather than implement a surcharge.
Impact on Servers
For the server, this model would represent a monumental change. Their income would be fixed and not subject to their individual performance as with the tipping model. They may no longer be incentivized to upsell or even go the extra mile to accommodate a guest. They may also take home less money as some restaurants may only pay them what they were currently making (tips /divided by hours). Many servers already make more per hour than the current minimum wage based on performance, length of service, etc. Things will get complicated. "What happens when a guest splurges and buys an expensive bottle of wine and there is an 18% surcharge on top of it?" asked one New York City server. "Do I get some of the money?"
Finally, servers would not have a variable pay check and some restaurants cash out tips at the end of the shift. That will no longer be the case. Instead, they would receive a weekly pay check like most people do with required withholdings and other pay deductions like health insurance. They may have the benefit of a higher hourly rate if they work overtime, but that would be at the discretion of the employer.
Impact on Restaurants
The effect on the restaurant is a minefield.
There could be upside. Consider restaurants currently paying a server $5.00 an hour, which will be increased to $7.50 on January 1st. Under a service-charge model, this cost could be eliminated as servers will get a new, higher flat hourly rate. The new monies collected from the guest represent revenue to the restaurant and they can set the hourly wage they are paying their servers. Better servers can receive higher hourly pay based on predefined metrics. A portion of the service charge can also be used to pay the flat salary to the server. They could then choose to retain some of the funds to cover other costs such as the back of the house staff.
Then, there is the downside. Depending on where a restaurant operates, the surcharge will probably be subject to sales tax. Who then pays the sales tax: the guest? the restaurant? It will surely be an issue on every sales tax audit. The overtime pay rate for servers would go up significantly. If a server is paid $30 an hour, the overtime rate would be $45 an hour. The new model could also expose the restaurant to more litigation from employees. Lastly, retaining quality servers will be an issue as some will leave to go to tip houses rather than opt for the fixed hourly pay.
Why the Tax Authorities Are Smiling
One area that is not often discussed is the tax effect. There is currently a significant tax credit available to restaurants based on the Social Security Taxes restaurants pay on tips. Restaurants that eliminate tipping will lose the benefit of the FICA TAX CREDIT. As the following chart shows, a restaurant grossing over $5 million would lose out on the credit estimated to be $78,000. Another lost savings is the ability to charge servers the credit card commission on tips. The same restaurant would incur an additional $23,000 in expenses.
Cost to Restaurants: No Tipping Model
While the intent of the new wage hike and tip credit was to increase pay to service staff, it may have the exact opposite effect. Operators will surely cut hours and staff to control labor costs. Price increases will also come into play either in the form of a surcharge or higher menu prices.

I studied graphic design and marketing for my Bachelor of Arts at Curtain University of Western Australia. I then started working in publishing as a Graphic Designer and Art Director over Vogue in Australia & London before starting my own business; Steph Adams Creative as well as my blog http://www.stephadams.com which is an inspirational blog on beauty, fashion & lifestyle. It's also an outlet for other brands and clients to get noticed online.
I am travelling quite a lot and I find this helps to stay on top of trends as well as providing inspiration for new projects.
I try and live a balanced and healthy lifestyle to stay on top of everything. I definitely need my sleep if I want to keep up the creativity. Usually if I need inspiration, I will go for a run or walk just to clear my head.
My husband has been a great mentor to me and my best friend.
That you really must love what you do before you go out and do it, because there are a lot of hard yards and nothing comes easy. Hard work definitely pays off.
Place that inspires me the most… Every new place you go to is inspiring in a different way, my favourite is the South of France.
I feel most powerful when… I've just had a boxing session.
I love what I do because… I help people build their brands and businesses and it's what they are most passionate about and that makes me happy when I see others also achieving their goals.
My idea of success is… I think if you have your health and love what you do as well as having loving family and friends around you, then you are successful.

Brandon Morse: British Government sentences Alfie Evans to death
On last night's show, RedState.com writer Brandon Morse joined me to talk about the case of British toddler Alfie Evans and the dangers of state-run healthcare.
The British government has backed-up the decision of the National Health Service (NHS) to take away Alfie's life support, against the wishes of his parents.
The decision has sparked international outrage and speaks to the danger of taking healthcare decisions away from parents and patients and granting them to the whims of government bureaucrats.

I am sorry to hear that happened but it was inevitable when so many healthy powerful people were against his survival in the first place it was bound to end this way.. damn them all to the judgement seat.!!!
Alfie has succumbed to his mistreatment in hospital. This family has my deepest condolences, my heart breaks for them.

I gave the way to stop it, Liza. Strength in numbers and flash mob the place. There are more of us than them.
It must be excruciating for the parents of this baby. Incomprehendible.
Its hard to even comment on this. It is criminal and horrifying that a government could decide life and death for its citizens. There must be a way to stop it.
The parents need a flash mob of football hooligans to run offence for the rescue.
Brits ( and the rest of us need to read again The Gulag Archipelago:
The kind of night arrest described is, in fact, a favorite, because it has important advantages.
Everyone living in the apartment is thrown into a state of terror by the first knock at the door. The
arrested person is torn from the warmth of his bed. He is in a daze, half-asleep, helpless, and his
judgment is befogged. In a night arrest the State Security men have a superiority in numbers; there
are many of them, armed, against one person who hasn't even finished buttoning his trousers. During
the arrest and search it is highly improbable that a crowd of potential supporters will gather at the
entrance. The unhurried, step-by-step visits, first to one apartment, then to another, tomorrow to a
third and a fourth, provide an opportunity for the Security operations personnel to be deployed with
the maximum efficiency and to imprison many more citizens of a given town than the police force
itself numbers.
In addition, there's an advantage to night arrests in that neither the people in neighboring apartment
houses nor those on the city streets can see how many have been taken away. Arrests which frighten
the closest neighbors are no event at all to those farther away. It's as if they had not taken place.
Along that same asphalt ribbon on which the Black Marias scurry at night, a tribe of youngsters
strides by day with banners, flowers, and gay, untroubled songs……..
….[And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every
Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he
would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for
example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there
in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the
staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs
hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?
After all, you knew ahead of time that those bluecaps were out at night for no good purpose. And
you could be sure ahead of time that you'd be cracking the skull of a cutthroat. Or what about the
Black Maria sitting out there on the street with one lonely chauffeur — what if it had been driven off
or its tires spiked? The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport
and, notwithstanding all of Stalin's thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!
If … if … We didn't love freedom enough. And even more — we had no awareness of the real
situation. We spent ourselves in one unrestrained outburst in 1917, and then we hurried io submit.
We submitted with pleasure! (Arthur Ransome describes a workers' meeting in Yaroslavl in 1921.
Delegates were sent to the workers from the Central Committee in Moscow to confer on the
substance of the argument about trade unions. The representative of the opposition, Y. Larin,
explained to the workers that their trade union must be their defense against the administration, that
they possessed rights which they had won and upon which no one else had any right to infringe. The
workers, however, were completely indifferent, simply not comprehending whom they still needed
to be defended against and why they still needed any rights. When the spokesman for the Party line
rebuked them for their laziness and for getting out of hand, and demanded sacrifices from them —
overtime work without pay, reductions in food, military discipline in the factory administration — this
aroused great elation and applause.) We purely and simply deserved everything that happened
afterward.]
There is strength in numbers.

I'm disappointed TheRebel hasn't been more outspoken on this subject.
None of the Canadian MSM have been covering this story until today, CTV finally issued something and it was so slanted it didn't present or represent the true story.
The Rebel could have really brought this to the attention of the public. Which should have been done.
This is what Canada is going to become.
Drew Wakariuk:
As I said in my last comment, that is what they did to Terri Schiavo.
They have already done that to Alfie because they agreed to give the child oxygen, but no water (hyrdration) or food.
That is probably why the parents have given in so the hospital will provide these life sustaining requirements……rather than the intentional starvation of Alfie, which is what the hospital was doing when Alfie continued to breathe.
This is what they do to people like Alfie and Terri….they starve them to death.
If you ever watch the movie with George Clooney about his wife who was in a boating accident, she has been removed from all life sustaining provisions and is in the process of starving to death.
Now……….isn't that painless and humane?
What the hell will they do if he does not die? People have gotten out of wheelchairs when told they will never walk again , people have lived long past what so called experts claimed they would. If it came to a point i believe they would actually directly kill the kid to save face.
Sickening Socialist lovers of death. I hope they enjoy hell.
This would not happen to the children of the ones ordering the plug pulled.
Their children would be on life-support for as long as needed or wanted.
Brandon…that is what they did to Terri Schiavo.
They posted police at her hospital door to prevent anyone from entering who might feed her something or give her water and prevent her death.
That is why Terri's case is the case most discussions refer back to. (Her husband gave the word to take her off life support (food and water) and allow her to starve to death. He was living with a new woman at that time. It was questionable whether he had struck Terri resulting from her head injuries.)
That's how its done folks.
You need to hear this discussion to understand the full dynamics of what is actually happening with Alfie Evans.
http://video.ewtn.com/index.php/world-over/
Evan WORSE, is the latest occurrence. Alfie's parents are being told to ask supporters to back off!!! Alfie is now the hostage, his parents are paying the ransom. https://www.lifesitenews.com/news/alfie-evans-parents-to-form-a-relationship-with-hospital-ask-supporters-to?utm_source=LifeSiteNews.com&utm_campaign=292e4a3d33-EMAIL_2018_02_20&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_12387f0e3e-292e4a3d33-401588565
Canada has not mentioned a word of this case on any television stations.
Space Moose can just take him out back and beat him to death with a shovel. Out of compassion for the kid and his parents of course. Call it a post-natal abortion and all will be fine.

Mellon Foundation announces Scalawag as an inaugural Humanities in Place grantee
A message of gratitude to our new philanthropic partner, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
by Scalawag Team September 22, 2021 September 22, 2021
"What does it mean for a diverse group of young Southerners to be producing content that is read by mostly white folks—and white folks that are older than them?" was the question asked in a November 2019 article from the Nieman Journalism Lab about Scalawag. For our team, the answer was clear: it meant we needed to do things differently, and that's exactly what we did.
We have since redeveloped our organizational vision, mission, and values both to better align our work to Southern freedom struggles and social movement, and to make more explicit our pursuit of a liberated and just South.
We published impact-driven journalism. Our storytelling supports and amplifies the work of movement, stands in solidarity with oppressed people and provides a platform to directly leverage power. Our work shifts narratives, changes how people understand an issue, and makes explicit the need for policy and political changes that bring us closer to social justice.
Since 2019, Scalawag has hosted more than 20 in-person and virtual events that have moved generative, reciprocal relationships from theory to practice. As we've poured suport into Southern people and communities, y'all have poured it right back into us. In that same time, more than 630 folks have become Scalawag members, 808 have made donations to support our mission, and our regional philanthropic partners—North Carolina's Z. Smith Reynolds, the Community Foundation of Greater Birmingham, and the Southern Power Fund—have brought much-needed support to the table.
We ended the publication of our print magazine in 2020 and created the capacity to develop new, imaginative, and responsive products and projects—projects like As the South Votes, our video series on voter suppression and community organizing in the lead up to and aftermath of the 2020 elections; and Abolition Week, an annual reporting and engagement campaign during which Scalawag publishes work written exclusively by incarcerated writers and centers and amplifies the life-affirming and collective emancipatory project we know as Abolition.
What has emerged from doing things differently is Scalawag's latest theory of change, and a model for the future of journalism: One that is reparative, just, equitable, and builds with both communities and movement in order to transform the South and beyond.
Today, we are honored to share The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation's announcement that Scalawag is one of its newest grantees. Through their new Humanities in Place program, the Foundation will invest $350,000 in Scalawag over the next two years, allowing us to further concretize and grow our transformative work. Humanities in Place supports a fuller, more complex telling of American histories and lived experiences by deepening the range of how and where our stories are told, bringing a wider variety of voices into the public dialogue.
Through philanthropic partnership with the Foundation, Scalawag will:
Expand our engagement team by hiring a Community Engagement Manager and four state organizers. With increased engagement capacity, Scalawag will strengthen our partnerships with Southern community, cultural, and movement organizations, values-aligned media organizations, and the communities we collectively serve. This expansion fortifies our role as builders in the South's social change ecosystem.
Produce more of the journalism that is core to our mission. The Mellon Foundation has graciously funded the next two years of Scalawag's Race & Place vertical. Race & Place expands traditional conversations about environmental racism, climate change, segregation, gentrification, freedom movements, and more to better understand both the nuances of how places are made and for whom, and how we can transform power to create the future places of our dreams.
Host more events, both online and (as it becomes safe to do so) returning to in-person, in our Hometowns: Durham, North Carolina; Birmingham, Alabama; Atlanta, Georgia; and in our newest Hometown, New Orleans, Louisiana.
We cannot say thank you enough to our communities, audiences, and supporters at all levels—you are why we do this work, and your trust in us is the reason we are able to sustain it. We are overjoyed for what's to come for Scalawag—and most importantly, for the South.
We'd like to extend another heartfelt thank you to our newest philanthropic partner, The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
Onward,
Alysia, Cierra, Katherine, Ko, Lovey, MiMi, Sarah, Virginia, Yusef, and Xander.

I am 23 and am still on my mom's insurance. I want to start testosterone but our insurance company (aetna) has a website that makes it very easy to view your benefits summary, and lists all the services (appointments, prescriptions, etc) that are used under the plan. My original idea was to begin HRT without telling my mom because I am certain she will try to talk me out of it, but now I realize she will most likely see my endo visits and prescriptions in the benefits summary immediately. My employer offers insurance but it is very expensive and the coverage is not great, and I do not qualify for medicaid (and I would rather not wait another year for open enrollment to get on T) Does anybody have any experience with a situation like this or any advice on how to get around it?


Are you getting all you can out of your local pharmacy?
Your local pharmacy is a staple in your community. It is a place you trust, and it is the place you go to fill your prescriptions, pick up over-the-counter medications and health and beauty products. A recent survey by Canadian Health & Lifestyle found that 97% of people believe their pharmacist has their best interests at heart when recommending medical products. But did you know that your local pharmacy offers a variety of other services?
Some pharmacists may also offer several extended services to help you manage different health care concerns. New legislation has expanded their ability to help people.
Prescribe drugs for minor condition such as allergic rhinitis, labial herpes, etc.
Your pharmacist can carefully review all the medications you are taking, including prescription and over-the-counter drugs, as well as any natural health products. The pharmacist will make sure that you understand what you're taking and why, so you can avoid adverse effects or be aware of problems as they arise. Should you develop irregular symptoms or reactions, they will follow-up with your doctor and recommend alternatives for improved treatment.
The range of services offered by a pharmacy may vary from one location to another. Some pharmacies offer private consultations. The naturopathic advice may be available in certain pharmacies as might nursing services to administer flu and shingles vaccines or provide chronic care monitoring.
Talk with your pharmacist about any additional services they offer to better help you achieve your health and wellness goals, and to guide you in choosing the pharmacy that best suits your needs.

Hydro plant from 1897 earns 3x as much mining BTC as selling power to the grid
New York's Mechanicville Hydroelectric Plant — one of the oldest hydropower generation facilities in the United States — is now a host to Bitcoin (BTC) mining.
The plant is owned by Albany Engineering Corp (AEC), which was asked to restore it by the National Grid in 1986. Jim Besha Sr., CEO of AEC, noted that cryptocurrency mining offers triple the profit margins compared to selling electricity back to the grid:
"We think this is the oldest renewable energy facility in the world that's still running. We can actually make more money with Bitcoin than selling the electricity to National Grid."
Besha noted he is content to liquidate the BTC as it comes in, expressing skepticism regarding the crypto asset's longer-term potential.
Despite the robust profit margins, Besha laments not selling his electricity to be used as power, but a decade of fighting with the National Grid has left him looking to alternative revenue streams.
When AEC was asked to restore the plant, a contract was signed with the National Grid guaranteeing it would purchase power from Besha for 40 years at a discounted rate. However, after AEC received licensing to operate independently in 1993, Besha claims the National Grid reneged on its deal, leading to a protracted legal battle.
After the facility incurred substantial damages from a flood, and later a generator catching fire, the National Grid agreed to give up the plant, pay for repairs, and purchase electricity from AEC at market value in 2003. Despite National Grid giving up its price discount, the profits from Bitcoin mining still dwarf what AEC can make by selling electricity.

AEC is not the first firm to repurpose a landmark of modern industry to generate cryptocurrency.
In 2018, Bitriver launched a data center in what used to be the world's largest aluminum smelter in Siberia, which had been constructed by the USSR in the 1960s. The facility, which is now used to mine Bitcoin, is also situated near a major hydropower plant.
That same year, Coinmint announced it had signed a 10-year lease on a 1,300-acre plot of land in upstate New York that had once been used for aluminum smelting to host BTC mining hardware.

Fox News bring us news that a group has gone around checking on the temperature sensors used to compile "global warming" data. The group found that 90% of the monitoring stations violate the Government's 100-foot rule of being within' anything that could influence the results.
A critical cog in the machinery that drives the theory of global warming is a small white box not too far from where you live. Inside the box sits a thermometer that tracks the local temperature, which in turn becomes part of a data trail for the monitoring of climate change on Earth.
But there's a problem: Nearly every single weather station the U.S. government uses to measure the country's surface temperature may be compromised. Sensors that are supposed to be in empty clearings are instead exposed to crackling electronics and other unlikely sources of heat, from exhaust pipes and trash-burning barrels to chimneys and human graves.
The National Climate Data Center (NCDC) uses this massive network of sensors to determine daily highs and lows at the 1,219 weather stations in its Historical Climatology Network (HCN). The network has existed since 1892, but only in the last decade has it come under intense scrutiny to determine whether the figures it measures can be trusted.
• A sensor in Redding, Calif., is housed in a box that also contains a halogen light bulb, which could emit warmth directly onto the gauge.
• A sensor in Hanksville, Utah, sits directly atop a gravestone, which is not only macabre but also soaks up the sun's heat and radiates it back to the thermometer at night.
• A sensor in Marysville, Calif., sits in a parking lot at a fire station right next to an air conditioner exhaust, a cell phone tower and a barbecue grill.
• A sensor in Tahoe City, Calif., sits near a paved tennis court and is right next to a "burn barrel" that incinerates garbage.
• A sensor in Hopkinsville, Ky., is sheltered from the wind by an adjoining house and sits above an asphalt driveway.
• Dozens of sensors are located at airports and sewage treatment plants, which produce "heat islands" from their sprawling seas of asphalt and heavy emissions.
Watts, who has posted pictures of the sensors on his Web site, SurfaceStations.org, says he believes that the location of the sensors renders their recorded temperatures inaccurate, which in turn brings some of the data behind global warming theory into question.
"It's asinine to think that this wouldn't have some kind of an effect," Watts told FoxNews.com.
But climate scientists who analyze the data say that they are able to account and adjust for the faulty locations by comparing warming trends they spot at bad sites to trends they see at good ones.
"If you use only the sites that currently have good siting versus those that have not-so-good siting, when you look at the adjusted data basically you get the same trend," said Jay Lawrimore, chief of the climate monitoring branch at NCDC.
Lawrimore admitted that Watts' volunteers had discovered real problems with sensor siting, but he said that even when those sites' heat readings were adjusted down, they still showed a steady overall rise in temperatures.
"The ultimate conclusion, the bottom line is that there really isn't evidence that the trends have a bias based on the current siting," he said.
And surface station data is only a small subset of information confirming the warming of the climate, Lawrimore said.
Changes in air temperature, water temperature, glacier melt, plant flowering, tree growth and species migration, among many others, show the same worldwide trend — a 0.7 degree Celsius jump (1.2 degrees Fahrenheit) in the past century.
"There's a certain amount of uncertainty in the calculation of trends, but not to the extent that we don't know the climate is warming," he said.
Watts readily agrees that temperatures are on the rise worldwide, but he believes the magnitude of the increase is in question, and he says his research puts the 1.2-degree global figure in doubt.
But a team of three climatologists has completed a study of Watts' data on HCN siting and found the warming trend to be confirmed.
"It's all objective analysis based on statistics," said Matthew Menne, the lead author of the study.
But Menne's study was conducted using information on only 43 percent of the weather stations. Watts, who has now compiled information on 80 percent of the stations and cleaned up his old information, contends that a more complete data set would furnish different results, and he plans to conduct a study of his own under the aegis of Roger Pielke Sr., a research scientist at the University of Colorado in Boulder.
A better test of the network's data is on the horizon. In the past eight years, the NOAA has established a hi-tech system that sends information via satellite and abides by all of its own rules for siting. Each sensor is ideally placed in open areas far from other structures, a fact that pleases both government scientists and longstanding critics like Watts.
"I'm convinced that the new system, the Climate Reference Network, will provide a reasonably accurate set of readings," Watts said.
But data has only begun to be collected from CRN, a regional network of just 114 climate sensors that went fully online in 2008. It will take at least a decade, and as many as 30 years, until the information it collects becomes statistically significant.
In the meantime, and for many years past, the challenged data from NCDC has been providing information for a number of top climate research centers, including the U.N.'s International Panel on Climate Change, NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies, and the Hadley Climate Research Unit, headed until recently by Phil Jones, who resigned in the wake of the climate-gate scandal.
With mounting pressure on climate research facilities, scientists at the NCDC hope that their data won't be discounted because of the troubling images Watts has compiled.
WorldNetDaily has an interesting report on how certain leaders of the "green" movement publicly oppose "clean coal" while supporting companies that produce it. The story doesn't stop there. The companies that produce "clean coal" also support groups that adamantly oppose, and even deny the existence of, "clean coal". Read on for yet another example of environmentalist ideas in the wild.
Big Bend Coal Power Station in Apollo Beach, Fla.
Board members and endorsers of the Apollo Alliance, which successfully promoted "clean coal" funding as part of President Obama's $787 billion "stimulus" bill, also have endorsed a group led by Al Gore that opposes the White House's "clean coal" efforts, going so far as to claim "clean coal" doesn't exist, WND has learned.
The Apollo Alliance board of directors includes a slew of extremists. The group has boasted in its own literature of its role in helping to craft portions of the multi-billion-dollar American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that Obama signed into law last year.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid lauded the Alliance for helping craft the "stimulus" bill.
"The Apollo Alliance has been an important factor in helping us develop and execute a strategy that makes great progress on these goals and in motivating the public to support them," Reid said in a statement.
A slew of groups that support the Apollo Alliance as well as individuals on Apollo's board endorsed what was known as the "New Apollo Program and the Apollo Economic Recovery Act," a mock recovery act on which sections of Obama's "stimulus" bill was partly based. That act also called for funding for "clean coal."However, WND has leaned many of those same Apollo endorsers and board members also are members of Gore's lobby group that opposes "clean coal" initiatives.
In 2008, Gore launched the Reality Coalition, a national grassroots and advertising effort with a simple message: In reality, there is no such thing as clean coal. Coal, Reality Coalition argues, cannot be considered clean until its carbon dioxide emissions are captured and stored. Gore's group has backed a multi-million dollar ad campaign, running in print, broadcast and online media, opposing Obama's "clean coal" initiatives.
At the launch of Reality Coalition, Gore wrote a New York Times op-ed arguing that until coal is truly clean, there should be no new coal-fired power plants built in America.
However, the National Wildlife Federation is an Apollo Alliance endorser.
However, the League is an Apollo Alliance endorser.
Other Apollo endorsers who also support Gore's anti-"clean coal" include the Natural Resources Defense Council and Sierra Club. Sierra's executive director, Carl Pope, is an Apollo board member as well.
Discover the Networks notes that in July, Reid and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi appointed Apollo Alliance Chairman Angelides to serve as chairman of the newly created Financial Crisis Inquiry Commission.
Joel Rogers, a founder of the socialist New Party. WND reported on evidence indicating Obama was a New Party member. In an interview with WND, New Party co-founder and Marxist activist Carl Davidson recounted Obama's participation with the New Party.
Jeff Jones, a founder of the Weather Underground domestic terrorist group who spent time on the run from law enforcement agencies while his group carried out a series of bombings of U.S. government buildings.Jones joined the Students for a Democratic Society, or SDS, from which the Weathermen splintered in the fall of 1965. Two years later, he became the SDS New York City regional director, a position in which he participated in nearly all of the group's major protests until 1969, including the 1968 Columbia University protests and the violent riots that same year at the Democratic National Convention.In 1969, Jones founded the Weathermen with terrorists William Ayers and Mark Rudd when the three signed an infamous statement calling for a revolution against the American government inside and outside the country to fight and defeat what the group called U.S. imperialism. President Obama came under fire for his longtime, extensive association with Ayers.
Jones was a main leader and orchestrator of what became known as the Days of Rage, a series of violent riots in Chicago organized by the Weathermen. The culmination of the riots came when he gave a signal for rowdy protestors to target a hotel that was the home of a local judge presiding over a trial of anti-war activists.
Jones went underground after he failed to appear for a March 1970 court date to face charges of "crossing state lines to foment a riot and conspiring to do so." He moved to San Francisco with Ayers' wife, Bernardine Dohrn. That year, at least one bombing claimed by the Weathermen went off in Jones' locale at the Presidio Army base.
Jones' Weathermen took credit for multiple bombings of U.S. government buildings, including attacks against the U.S. Capitol March 1, 1971; the Pentagon May 19, 1972, and a 1975 bombing of the State Department building.
Climate Depot has a response from the UK's Lord Christopher Monckton to the Democrats who have refused to allow him to testify against former Vice-President Al Gore at a hearing examining the House's "global warming" bill.
Washington DC — UK's Lord Christopher Monckton, a former science advisor to Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher, claimed House Democrats have refused to allow him to appear alongside former Vice President Al Gore at a high profile global warming hearing on Friday April 24, 2009 at 10am in Washington. Monckton told Climate Depot that the Democrats rescinded his scheduled joint appearance at the House Energy and Commerce hearing on Friday. Monckton said he was informed that he would not be allowed to testify alongside Gore when his plane landed from England Thursday afternoon.
According to Monckton, Rep. Joe Barton (R-Texas), Ranking Member on the Energy & Commerce Committee, had invited him to go head to head with Gore and testify at the hearing on Capitol Hill Friday. But Monckton now says that when his airplane from London landed in the U.S. on Thursday, he was informed that the former Vice-President had "chickened out" and there would be no joint appearance. Gore is scheduled to testify on Friday to the Subcommittee on Energy and the Environment's fourth day of hearings on the American Clean Energy and Security Act of 2009. The hearing will be held in 2123 Rayburn House Office Building.
According to Monckton, House Democrats told the Republican committee staff earlier this week that they would be putting forward an unnamed 'celebrity' as their star witness Friday at a multi-panel climate hearing examining the House global warming bill. The 'celebrity' witness turned out to be Gore. Monckton said the GOP replied they would respond to the Democrats 'celebrity' with an unnamed 'celebrity' of their own. But Monckton claims that when the Democrats were told who the GOP witness would be, they refused to allow him to testify alongside Gore.
CNSNews is reporting that the EPA has ruled that "greenhouse gases" are a health hazard and can be regulated by legislation. They also ruled that tailpipe emissions contribute to "climate change".
This is just the next step in bigger Government regulation, higher taxes, and increases in goods and services. So far, Obama and the Democrats' wishes are coming true.
Washington (AP) – The Environmental Protection Agency has concluded that carbon dioxide and five other greenhouse gases are a danger to public health and welfare. It is the first step to regulating pollution linked to climate change.
Congressional sources told The Associated Press that EPA will announce its proposed finding Friday and begin a comment period before issuing a final ruling. The EPA also will say tailpipe emissions from motor vehicles contribute to climate change. The officials spoke on condition of anonymity because the finding hasn't been announced.
The action was prompted by a Supreme Court ruling two years that said greenhouse gases are pollutants under the Clean Air Act and must be regulated if found to be a human health danger.
CNSNews has a commentary about the CO2/"global warming"/"climate change" farce that keeps gaining traction here in the U.S. even in the face of mounting scientific evidence against it. More and more scientists are discounting "global warming" . Check the related posts below for more info.
My friend, the internationally famed climatologist Dr. S. Fred Singer, calls them "the CO2 wars." It is the last ditch attempt by the Greens, under the aegis of the Obama administration, to declare carbon dioxide a pollutant and thus open the door to its regulation.
I am increasingly of the opinion that the main goal of the Obama administration through CO2 regulation, exploding deficits, punishing taxation, and any other means at their disposal is the destruction of the economy and the complete control of impoverished Americans.
This is an administration that exists to impose an Orwellian socialist utopia after the smokescreen clears.
When it comes to CO2, Obama, his so-called science advisors, and the Environmental Protection Agency are all lying. It is governmental gangsterism.
— CO2 is not a "pollutant." It is a trace gas necessary for all life of Earth because it is essential to the growth of all vegetation.
— Without CO2 all vegetation—grasses, forests, jungles, crops such as wheat, corn and rice—dies. Then herbivores die. Then you die.
— The CO2 produced by human industry or activity is a miniscule fraction of a percentage of greenhouse gases. It constitutes a mere 0.038% of the atmosphere.
— The oceans emit 96.5% of all greenhouse gases, holding and releasing CO2 as it has down through the millennia of Earth's existence.
— In past millennia, CO2 levels were often much higher than the present.
— CO2 levels rise hundreds of years after temperature rise on planet Earth.
— The Sun is the primary source of warmth on Earth. Rising CO2 is an effect of global warming, not a cause.
— Both global warming and cooling are natural phenomenon over which humans have no control.
— The Earth is not currently warming. It has been cooling for a decade and likely to continue for at least another twenty years or longer. If a new Ice Age is triggered, it will last at least 10,000 years.
— Polar ice is now at record levels and still growing.
If you had a choice, would you prefer a warmer or colder Earth?
And consider this, if only the United States was to significantly cut its CO2 emissions, how much effect, if any, would that have in a world where most other nations, including China and India, have no intention of doing so? Both are exempt from the UN Kyoto Protocol. The answer is zero!
The federal government, though the aegis of the EPA, would have control over the destinies of an estimated 13,000 facilities if this regulatory obscenity were to become law.
Such industries would flee the United States as the most toxic place on Earth in which to do business.
This would be the fulfillment of the Obama administration's goal and explains in part why this new assault on science, industry, and common sense has been put forth by the EPA.
FOX News has an article about tomorrow's "Earth Hour". The short version is that "Earth Hour", for the typical household, creates more CO2 than using electricity.
How? Candles. You have to see, somehow, during that time. The candles that a house would use to see during that hour emit more CO2 than incandescent or fluorescent lights would.
Secondly, carbon dioxide is not a pollutant. You and I exhale CO2 every time we breathe, and plants need that CO2 so they can "breathe".
This is all about money and power. Obama's cap-and-trade program is going to do nothing but increase your energy bill, gas prices, food, and every other good you buy now. The extra money you get in your paychecks starting next month will mean nothing to the hundreds you are going to pay in increase costs if Obama gets his way. "Earth Hour" is just another stunt for the people who push "global warming" to keep their propaganda and agenda to the masses when more and more people and scientists are coming to the correct conclusion that "global warming" is a bunch of crap. See the related posts below for more.
In what it's calling a "vote for the future of planet Earth," the World Wildlife Fund wants every light in the world to go dark for one hour on Saturday as a symbolic gesture to call for action on climate change.
It's called Earth Hour — and among the places where the lights will go out are the Eiffel Tower, the Bird's Nest Stadium in Beijing, the Pyramids of Giza and Niagara Falls.
And, for the first time in the event's three-year existence, the New York headquarters of the United Nations will also go dark, a move officials say will save a whopping $102, a figure that fluctuated wildly when requested from U.N. officials.
Earth Hour — 8:30 to 9:30 p.m in every time zone on the planet — promises to be "the largest demonstration of public concern about climate change ever attempted," U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said earlier this month.
But critics say the U.N.'s participation in the event is a "self-serving," thinly guised "gimmick" to sway public opinion ahead of the U.N.-led conference in Copenhagen in December at which world leaders will seek to approve a new global warming treaty.
"It's like a lot of what the U.N. does — it's a gimmick, it's empty, it's shallow and it's not going to lead to anything," said Thomas Kilgannon, president of Freedom Alliance, a Virginia-based nonprofit organization founded by Oliver North.
WWF organizers say nearly 2,900 cities worldwide will participate in Earth Hour, with at least 250 American cities among them, including Chicago, Dallas, Miami and San Francisco. Plenty of celebrities have signed on to the cause, including musicians Alanis Morissette, Melissa Etheridge and Wynonna Judd, as well as actors Edward Norton, Cate Blanchett, Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick.
And, of course, the United Nations.
Critics like Rosett say the U.N.'s role in Earth Hour is merely the public face of its much larger push to reorder the world's economy with new taxes, tariffs and subsidies for greenhouse gas abatement.
Click here for the details on the U.N.'s new plan to combat climate change.
Based on average energy consumption levels from 2006-08, U.N. spokeswoman Vannina Maestracci said the world body's New York headquarters will save $102 while observing Earth Hour. Maestracci initially estimated the savings would be $81,000 before revising it to $24,300. She ultimately estimated the savings would be just $102 for the darkened hour.
Though she stressed that the U.N. is just one of many institutions across the world observing the event, she acknowledged it's a "strong symbol" in the climate change debate.
Whatever the savings, Rosett accused U.N. officials of distorting facts to make its participation in the event appear more impactful.
WWF spokeswoman Leslie Aun said Earth Hour will serve as a dramatic "visual message that the people of the world" are concerned about climate change.
But Bjorn Lomborg, author of "The Skeptical Environmentalist" and director of the Denmark-based think tank Copenhagen Consensus Centre, said the event could actually increase emissions.
Dr. Kenneth Green, a resident scholar on environmental science at the American Enterprise Institute, said Earth Hour shouldn't even be considered an environmental activity, since there will be no tangible benefits.
"If the U.N. is trying to show it's really committed to the Earth," he said, "they should scrap the giant fleet of black limousines they drive around in and buy hybrid cars in the United States to help the economy of the country they're in.
"That's the real tragedy in what this symbolizes. They've taken the one thing that symbolizes man's advancement over animals — that is, man's ability to create light — and they've turned it into a bad thing.

Q: How to fix PHPUnit losing global variable value between consecutive test runs from the same class? I have a global PHP variable $dblink that is initialized and kept alive for the duration the web application run.  However, when I run PHPUnit I get this error
mysqli_query() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli, null given

Looking into it I discovered that $dblink (database connection object) is NULL.  Tuns out it loses value somewhere between first and second test inside the same class.
Here is my unit test class:
class LpTest extends Tests
{
    public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        global $dblink;
        var_dump($dblink);//EXISTS and is not NULL
    }

    function firstTest()
    {
        global $dblink;
        var_dump($dblink);//EXISTS and is not NULL
    }

    function secondTest()
    {
        global $dblink;
        var_dump($dblink); //is NULL <------------
    }
}

How I run it:
phpunit --bootstrap tests/bootstrap.php test/LpTest.php

I believe this is a peculiarity of PHPUnit.  If I remove firstTest above, the $dblink inside secondTest becomes not NULL and is a valid database object.  Presumably because it is the first test to run and it is initialized differently.
What can this be?  Why does PHPUnit lose global variable value between runs?  How can I fix this to where it doesn't?

Sparky Imeson, author, lecturer, and mountain flying expert, was injured while giving tips to a pilot on the last day of a Montana Pilots Association mountain flying safety clinic at Townsend, Montana, southeast of Helena.
Both Imeson, 62, and his student suffered crushed vertebrae in the June 3 accident. Imeson also suffered broken ribs and a broken toe while the student had a broken leg. The accident might have been worse had Imeson not been aboard.
The two had been flying in an Aviat Husky A-1B for nearly 30 minutes and had planned to fly up a canyon with upsloping terrain for instructional purposes. They were going to fly until the terrain was 500 feet beneath them before turning back. They decided that since the Husky has a strong climb performance, they would instead allow the upsloping terrain to reach within 300 feet of the aircraft.
Suddenly, a downdraft with wind shear shifted to a tailwind while Imeson was making notes for a debriefing later, in a few seconds, the aircraft had descended to 150 feet above the canyon floor, which has 60- to 80-foot dead trees.
Imeson said, "We gotta get outta here," but instead of turning left toward lowering terrain, the student briefly turned toward rising terrain. An attempt to climb caused a stall, Imeson said.
"I said 'Nose down! Nose down!' He did get the nose down so that instead of having a vertical crash, we were moving forward when we hit," Imeson continued.
The aircraft struck trees, and upon crashing, the engine struck a rock and bent upwards, catching fire quickly. The men forced the door open and escaped, but the aircraft and its ELT were destroyed by fire. Imeson had left his personal locator beacon with his wife. It could have told rescue personnel in a few minutes the exact location of the men.
Instead, they spent the night on the mountain and were found the following day. Imeson was discovered last because he left the crash site and began a descent to a cliff where he thought his cell phone might work.
J.C. was quite upset with Mr. Marsh's article stating, "I cannot believe that a well known writer such as Alton K. Marsh would write such a defamatory story without checking the facts. I also cannot believe that Sparky could confuse the events so badly ... of course, he did take one hell of a rap to the head. I believe the proof would be in looking at his head and chest and then looking at mine.
As I read through all the e-mails, in my mind I tried to form a short precise story that would serve to tell all the pertinent facts in a way that would not defame anyone, praise all who tried so hard to find us and inform my fellow Husky pilots on the good, bad, and the ugly. I was about to start the story when I found the AOPA article. Anyway ... I will tell a short story about what happened, then my observations on our stupidity and then finally what I intend to do in the future."
In all fairness to J.C., because his recollection of what transpired during the events leading to our crash differ from what I recall, both views are presented here. There is no attempt to infer that one version is the correct and the other should be discounted.
During the mid-afternoon of Sunday, June 3, the Montana Aeronautics Division initiated an aerial search for two pilots gone missing during a training flight that originated in Townsend, Mont.
The burned aircraft was located the next day. By reviewing and analyzing this accident other pilots can place themselves in the situation and ask what they would have done along the same lines or what they would have done differently. Hindsight provides a great advantage and may allow one to develop a plan of action should the unthinkable ever occur.
I will tell a short story about what happened, then my observations on our stupidity and then finally what I indent to do in the future.
The day was severe clear, a nice warm morning. We left Townsend at 10:00 a.m. and climbed west toward the mountains. As we climbed we did air work. Basically my learning Spark's short canyon turn, plus one other "just for fun." We then turned northwest looking for a suitable canyon, finding one we descended to within 300 feet of the canyon bottom and stayed right over against the south face (sun-warmed side) finding thermals, both strong and light. A couple of time we turned around and rode a particularly strong one again. No down drafts. Reaching the ridge line, we dropped over into the next canyon north. This was a minor side drainage to what we later learned was Beaver Creek. I cut the power and descended rapidly into the main canyon bottom. This entire canyon had been burned off some years ago and contained snags – 50-feet to 60-feet tall – the ground was completely covered with dead fall and new growth fir trees that for the most part were 6-feet to 8-feet tall with occasional 10-feet to 12-feet tall new trees. The best thermal feature here were the prominent rock faces. We did not encounter the strong thermals that we found where there was green growth, although near larger rock faces and cliffs there were decent up drafts.
I had been flying at 70 mph with 20 flaps. However, in this canyon flying along at 60-65 mph, full flaps and 1/2 to 3/4 power maintained a slight climb which jumped when we found a good thermal. Ahead of us the canyon was opening up into a "Y" shaped valley. About two miles wide at the top tapering to perhaps 1/2 mile wide where we were. Just ahead on our right was a large rock cliff which had been heated all morning by the sun and both of us thought we would find an excellent thermal there. As I flew along the cliff about 10 feet off my right wing tip the climb stopped and airspeed started to fall. As I applied full throttle and initiated Sparky's short turn around to the left, the wing stalled and we started to fall ... fast! I lowered the nose (telling Sparky at the same time what was happening) and saw lots of dead fall immediately in front and to the left of us and a small canyon to the right. We were well beyond the cliff so I turned right up the small drainage. From that point on I was trying to climb and steer my way between the dead trees. I finally knew I could clear the dead wood and then turned left again ... but we were going down again. When I realized this I tried to land the aircraft straight ahead, as gently as possible. After the crash, looking over the site, I believe that I missed all the standing dead wood. Of course it is possible that I did hit snags and they fell completely down, out of sight. However, from where the plane laid and the flight path straight back, there were two tall snags, a little wider than the wings that appeared untouched. Between them the tops were clipped off some of the short new fir trees. From the time I decided to turn away until we were on the ground seemed like 5 seconds ... may have been more but it sure didn't seem like it!
I landed in a boulder patch, actually a third small creek bed that I had not seen on downfall (not approach). The landing gear sheared mostly off, still sort of attached. The prop and engine hit a fair bounder (about 3-feet by 3-feet by 5-feet) which tweaked the motor about 1 inch to the right and one inch up. The wings collapsed down, somewhat. On the abrupt stop, I asked Sparky if he was all right and told him my foot was hot. He hollered back that we were on fire. I looked out the open top door and saw flames coming out of the cowl. He said we have to get out and I agreed. He then asked for a fire extinguisher, which I did not have (wouldn't have done any good anyway).
The empennage is visible in the lower left of the photo.
District Ranger, Townsend Ranger District, Helena National Forest.
Sparky then commented that it was about to blow, I agreed and we took off for 50 to 60 feet. Sparky took one hell of a rap to the head over his eyes and was bleeding profusely down his face and shirt, his left eye was shut. He said "I'm going for help" and I could not talk him out of leaving. He left almost immediately after our run. I had landed gently enough that the ELT never went off. The fire burned hard for about 20 minutes and then turned into grey wispy smoke hugging the ground. Everything was gone by then, the plane burnt up completely leaving only the steel tube frame, cable9 and some of the aluminum sheeting around the engine and the prop and spinner.
There was no damage I could see to the entire fuselage. The two "V" braces were slightly bent, probably because of the engine moving. We both agreed afterward that if we had been in a Super Cub, we would not have survived.
Surviving the night and attracting the attention of the searchers is a whole 'nother story.
#1 Sparky leaving his survival vest with his wife, me putting mine behind the seat.
#2 We were not clear with the people on the ground where we were going.
#3 I had felt entirely comfortable with the first green canyon, I was uneasy in the second canyon. I should have listed to Mike V's little voice in my head saying "Do we really need to be in here?"
#4 If I had stayed at 70 mph and 20 flaps perhaps I would have noticed the loss of lift a little earlier.
#5 If I had used Mike V's short turn around learned the day previous, I probably would not have stalled and the turn around would have been successful.
#1 I will have BAS harness BOTH front and rear.
#2 I will buy and wear a Gallet helmet.
#3 I will always wear my survival vest!!!!!

UN:Miss Iraq Says She Loves Irsrael
Thursday July 4, 2019
Former Miss Iraq Sarah Idan and former Miss Israel Adar Gandelsman are friends. Their relationship began in 2017 at the Miss Universe competition.
Ms. Idan posted a picture of herself with Ms. Gandelsman and wrote: "Peace and Love from Miss Iraq and Miss Israel." Yesterday Idan was at the United Nations Human Rights Commission speaking about anti-Semitism in the Arab world and about the hatred towards Israel that is taught in the Arab world.
In 2018 Sarah Idan visited Israel.
While in Israel Idan said: "The issue between Arabs and Israelis goes beyond policy disagreements. It's deeply rooted in the belief systems taught in Muslim countries, which are anti-Semitic."
Yesterday, at the UN she said: "Two years ago, I represented Iraq at Miss Universe. I posted a photo with Miss Israel on social media. I was told to remove it and forced to denounce Israeli policies. I received death threats. Since then, I can no longer return to my homeland," she further recalled in Geneva,
While in Geneva, home of the UN Human Rights Commission, Idan made a point of mentioning that the Iraqi government did not condemn the threats, nor did they protect her freedom of expression.
She also spoke out denouncing Hamas:
"When I watched the news last month, why did they never report that the Hamas terrorist organization fired nearly 700 rockets at Israeli civilians in one weekend or that Hamas used Palestinians in Gaza as human shields? Why do they never condemn Hamas for initiating the attacks? Instead, they only show those killed by the response, in self-defense, and blame Israel."
Idan concluded her remarks by saying:
"For advocating peace, I'm called a traitor ... negotiating peace for both states isn't betraying the Arab cause but a vital step to end conflict and suffering for all. Thank you."
Thank you, Sarah Idan. The world needs more spokespeople with your courage and commitment to righting wrongs.

Airport Show 2022 in Dubai to focus on digital airports
A diverse range of technologically advance and innovative products will be displayed at the Airport Show 2022 in Dubai. The 21st edition of the event will be held from 17th to 19th May at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC), according to a press release issued by the organizers on Wednesday. The world's largest airport industry B2B platform, organized by Reed Exhibitions Middle East, will provide insights into the investments planned by the world's airports until 2040.
H.H. Sheikh Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, President of Dubai Civil Aviation Authority and Chairman of Emirates Airline & Group, and Patron of Airport Show, said, "The Airport Show has provided over the past two decades products and services to create most advanced aviation facilities in the world." The press release noted that airports have kept up competing by continuously adopting cutting-edge technologies for a completely frictionless traveling experience.
Innovative technologies and products are providing a wider degree of agility and flexibility for the airports as the number of passengers are gradually increasing and they prefer completion of their baggage handling operations outside the airports. Digital queuing and biometric has been viewed as a priority to be implemented to modernize every component of the journey at airports which are expected to allocate up to six percent of their revenues each year to spend on Information Technology until 2024 on transformative projects and infrastructure upgrades aimed at improving operational efficiency and preparing themselves to handle passengers whose numbers will reach 8.2 billion in 2037 and 20.9 billion by 2040.
The coronavirus pandemic has enhanced the seamless passenger flow and a contactless journey. The technologies and solutions have been in part accelerated by the pandemic but are also part of the long-term transformation underway, according to Billy Shallow, Director, Innovation and Technology at Airports Council International (ACI World), whose members operates over 1953 airports in 176 countries.
The latest IATA Global Passenger Survey, conducted across 153 countries, revealed passengers expect technology to give them more "personal control over their travel experience" and greater automation of airport processes like security and border control which they called the "biggest pain points".
The annual expenditure on airport security systems alone is set to top US$12.67 billion by 2023. The global airport technologies market is expected to grow to more than US$13 billion at an annual growth rate of almost five percent through 2022. According to Frost & Sullivan, airport IT spending is to touch US$4.63 billion by 2023. The smart airports market is projected to grow to US$6.4 billion by 2025, said the press release.

Central Civil Services (Leave Travel Concession) Rules, 1988 — Fulfilment of procedural requirements.
This Department is in receipt of a number of references regarding the procedural difficulties faced by the Government employees in application and settlement of the LTC claims. Sometimes, the Government servants claim that failure to follow the correct procedure was on account of a lack of knowledge of the rules/instructions. It is alleged that in some cases, processing of LTC claims takes unduly long time, particularly when the employee and the sanctioning authorities are located at different stations.
*(a) Additional 3 days transit-time may be allowed in cases where the place of posting of the Government employees is away from their Headquarters, The Government employee may proceed on LTC after action on S.No.1 .
3. Under CCS (LTC) Rules, the Government servants are required to inform their Controlling Officer before the journey(s) on LTC to be undertaken. It has now been decided that the Leave Sanctioning Authority shall obtain a self-certification from the employee regarding the proposed LTC journey.
