States with No Estate Taxes or Inheritance Taxes
33 States with No Estate Taxes or Inheritance Taxes
By Sandra Block, Senior Editor , and David Muhlbaum, Senior Online Editor and Rocky Mengle, Tax Editor | February 8, 2019
The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act raised the federal exemption from estate taxes to $11.2 million per person, or $22.4 million for a married couple, so the vast majority of taxpayers won't have to worry about federal estate taxes. However, if your goal is to leave as much as you can to your heirs, then you should also pay attention to the state you choose for retirement.
Twelve states and the District of Columbia levy their own estate taxes, sometimes called death taxes, and some have much lower thresholds than Uncle Sam. In addition, six states have inheritance taxes. Maryland, whose nickname is the Free State, has both.
The good news for retirees focused on estate planning: There are 33 states that have neither estate taxes nor inheritance taxes.

Of all the historic sites in New Mexico, few are as captivating and scenic as the Jemez Historic Site. Located in the quiet village of Jemez, the site has seen its fair share of triumph and tragedy over the centuries.
Nestled in the Jemez Valley, sixty miles north of Albuquerque sits the ruins of the San Jose de los Jemez Church.
The church was built in 1621. It was designed by a Spanish Friar and built by the native Pueblo Indians in the San Diego Canyon.
This region of the southwestern United States, within New Mexico is believed to have been inhabited by indigenous people as far back as 2500 B.C.
According to local historians, the original pueblo is likely to have been established around the 1300s, A.D., shortly after the migration from the Mesa Verde, Colorado area.
The Spanish conquistadors chose this location in order to convert the large pueblo nation to Catholicism. However, the settlement and church was abandoned in the 1630's by the Spanish when the moved south towards the Jemez Village.
By 1680, the time of the Pueblo revolt, the church's walls were torn down and its buildings were left in ruins.
At the site today, native-built structures still exist and represent the buildings that people still use to this day: Kivas. People are welcomed and encouraged to visit and can even see and have an interactive experience with one of these buildings.

Denver Post: Crowton interested in Colorado State opening
← return to D1SCOURSE
Patrick Stevens The Washington Times - December 9, 2011, 11:02AM
Maryland offensive coordinator Gary Crowton is interested in the head coaching vacancy at Colorado State, the Denver Post reported Friday.
Crowton, the former head coach at Brigham Young, just completed his first season in College Park. He's also worked as an offensive coordinator at Oregon and Louisiana State since leaving Brigham Young.
SEE RELATED:
"I've contacted the school," Crowton told the Post. "I've not heard back from them. I'm sure they're putting together a committee and I think they've hired a company and they're looking at candidates. I'm just hoping to get in there so they give me a chance."
Crowton oversaw a Maryland offense that struggled along with the rest of the team on the way to a 2-10 record. Maryland rotated quarterbacks C.J. Brown and Danny O'Brien throughout the middle of the season, never achieving any consistency or establishing much of an identity along the way.
The Terps quietly had a decent running game, ranking 44th nationally and third in the ACC in rushing offense. But the passing game struggled mightily; the Terps are ranked 111th nationally in passing efficiency.
Crowton's thoughts on Maryland's difficulties are unknown since Maryland coach Randy Edsall does not allow his assistants to speak with the media during the season. Crowton last spoke to beat writers during the team's media day in August.
He is 47-36 in his head coaching career, with a 21-13 mark during a three-year stint at Louisiana Tech (1996-98) and a 26-23 record at Brigham Young between 2001 and 2004. He joined Maryland's staff in January, reuniting with Edsall; the two were assistants at Boston College from 1991-93.
Crowton's contract specifies he can "accept an offer of employment as the head coach at another NCAA institution or as a coach in the National Football League" without financial penalty so long as it comes after the end of the 2011 season. Crowton signed a three-year deal at Maryland that guarantees him $500,000 annually, plus modest car and phone allowances.
Colorado State fired Steve Fairchild on Sunday after a 16-33 run over the last four years, including three straight 3-9 seasons. The Rams were one of the most consistent teams in the Western Athletic Conference and later in the Mountain West under Sonny Lubick in the 1990s and early 2000s, but have just one winning season (7-6 in Fairchild's debut in 2008) and two bowl appearances (2005 and 2008) in the last eight years.

Tier 3 'disappointing' given Covid cases are falling and R rate is 'BELOW 1', blasts expert
November 26, 2020health
CORONAVIRUS cases are falling and the R rate is below 1 – so more regions ending up in Tier 3 is "disappointing", a top expert has blasted.
Professor Tim Spector, lead scientist on the ZOE Covid Symptom Study, said data from his team's app shows new cases fell 14 per cent in a week.

There are currently 29,311 daily new symptomatic cases of Covid in the UK on average over the two weeks up to November 22, according to app data.
This compares to 34,279 daily new symptomatic cases a week ago.
The app data also suggests the R rate is at 0.9 across England and at 1 in both Wales and Scotland, he said.
Yet 99 per cent of England will be plunged into the harshest Tiers 2 and 3 when the lockdown ends next Wednesday, it was announced today.
Just the Isle of Wight, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly in the lowers Tier 1 – who will face very little restrictions.
But Prof Spector said the most recent app data, from the fortnight up to Sunday, suggests cases are falling across the country.
The latest data from the Office for National Statistics also showed coronavirus cases are levelling off in England.
The app data suggest the R rate is now just below 1 for the entire country
The estimated rate of people with symptomatic Covid by age also shows a steady fall across all groups
A regional breakdown from the Covid app, which is based on swab test data from five days ago, shows that cases in the North West have now returned to the same levels as mid-September – before the second wave.
While, in the North East and Yorkshire cases are now comparable to where they were at in early October, he said.
For the first time, cases in the Midlands have fallen and the R rate is now at 0.9, while in London and the East of England cases remain stable.

In the South West and South East, the R value has dropped to 0.9 and cases have fallen since this time last week.
Reassuringly, the app shows the number of cases in the over-60s is now either decreasing or stable in every region of the UK.
It's one of the key measures being used to determine which tier each area is placed in.

Prof Spector said: "I'm disappointed to see so many regions going into Tier 3 when the latest data suggests that symptomatic cases are continuing to fall.
"Our data shows that the UK R value is now below 1 at 0.9, mirroring ONS data, and probably reflects voluntary behaviour changes.
"Importantly, the NHS continues to cope even with the addition of winter pressure.
"These heavy restrictions may have greater costs to public health than benefits.
"We need to consider more carefully the wider physical, social and mental health implications of excessive mandatory restrictions if they are not justified by the recent data."
He's not the only scientist that things the Government's route out of the nation's second lockdown is tough.
Prof Karol Sikora, a cancer specialist and former WHO director, suggested a more localised approach would be better.
He tweeted: "Is the Government's action balanced and thoughtful? Is it even local?
"Huge areas, with many different situations, have been lumped together and to me it seems too blunt.
"Take Kent. Everywhere in tier three despite huge variations. A more localised approach would be fairer."
Professor Carl Heneghan, an epidemiologist at Oxford University, claimed the tier system may be "unjustified" and "outdated" based on recent data.
He pointed to recent Government figures, which show new infections halved in a week – from 18,626 last Tuesday to 9,854 seven days later.
If this trend continues, he said that by the time the national lockdown ends next week, the country could be in a similar place to where it was before the second wave in September when there were minimal restrictions.
Speaking on the eve of the tiered announcement last night, he told MailOnline: "By the time we get to December 2 we will be in very different position than we are now, therefore we need to be much more flexible and reactive, and set out clear criteria.
READ China sees fall in coronavirus deaths, WHO urges caution, Apple takes hit
"[There is] no point in saying to people 'this is where you are now [in terms of Covid] and you'll be in this tier next week' — we should be explaining to people the two important criteria that should decide which areas go into which tiers – symptomatic cases and hospital rates.
"For instance, say Kent is announced to be in Tier Three and that it has 50 per cent of hospital beds occupied by Covid patients, you could tell people they have to adjust that to 30 per cent to come out of Tier Three. That's objective criteria."
HAPPY TIERS
But not everyone agrees and many experts have suggested that a return to the tier system is to be welcomed.
Dr Flavio Toxvaerd, who specialises in the economics of infectious diseases at the University of Cambridge, said: "The updated tier system is more restrictive than the one that was in place before the lockdown and this could have the desired effect of more effectively keeping infection under control.
"Now that vaccines are on the horizon, it is even more important to redouble our efforts to contain the disease, so more people can make it safely through the winter and benefit from the protection that they provide."
Prof Jonathan Ball, Professor of Molecular Virology, University of Nottingham, said: "There has been much focus on what the Christmas festivities will be like, but the announcement that much of England will be experiencing severe restrictions up to then is a stark reminder that the virus is very much out there and still circulating freely.
Now that vaccines are on the horizon, it is even more important to redouble our efforts to contain the disease
Dr Flavio ToxvaerdCambridge University
"It will be important for everyone to take the threat seriously and to minimise the risk to themselves and others by reducing social interactions – especially indoors – as much as possible.
"The announcement of the real possibility of effective vaccines being ready soon provides light at the end of the tunnel.
"So we need to do all that we can between now and then to minimise the harm that the virus can do to vulnerable people in our society and to our NHS.
"We might have come out of lockdown but that doesn't mean the party season should commence."
The Department of Health said decisions on tier levels would be based on a number of factors, including case detection rates in all age groups and, in particular, amongst the over 60s.
How quickly case rates are rising or falling will also be taken into account, as will local pressure on the NHS, including current and projected capacity.
How are the tiers decided?
Decisions on tiers are made by ministers based on public health recommendations informed by the following factors:
Case detection rate (in all age groups and, in particular, amongst the over 60s);
How quickly case rates are rising or falling;
Positivity in the general population;
Pressure on the NHS – including current and projected (3-4 weeks out) NHS capacity – including admissions, general/acute/ICU bed occupancy, staff absences; and
Local context and exceptional circumstances such as a local but contained outbreak.
In Tier 1, the rule of six applies indoors and outdoors, people are urged to work from home if they can and pubs are limited to table service.
The majority of England will be in Tier 2, where the restrictions mean a ban on households mixing indoors and pubs, and restaurants only able to sell alcohol with a "substantial meal".
Tier 3 measures mean a ban on households mixing, except in limited circumstances such as parks.
Bars and restaurants will be limited to takeaway or delivery services and people will be advised to avoid travelling outside their area.

Setting out the tiers today, Health Secretary Matt Hancock said: "These are not easy decisions, but they have been made according to the best clinical advice".
He told MPs: "Thanks to the shared sacrifice of everyone in recent weeks, in following the national restrictions, we have been able to start to bring the virus back under control and slow its growth, easing some of the pressure on the NHS.
"We will do this by returning to a regional tiered approach, saving the toughest measures for the parts of the country where prevalence remains too high."

New accountability system inches forward
(Calif.) Trying to satisfy a variety of competing interests, the California State Board of Education moved carefully Wednesday to refine proposed accountability measures to ensure schools clearly report on the performance of disadvantaged students without creating too many new centralized compliance demands.
A requirement that school districts report student test scores will now include clarifying language that when feasible, districts must include the growth of individual students in grades three through eight in English language arts and math. The board also asked for a measure isolating student engagement that would include suspension rates and chronic absenteeism when available.
The refinements add depth to a list of five performance indicators that the board has been working with for much of the past year as the likely components of an evaluation rubric that will be used by the state to decide how well local educational agencies are meeting goals set within the Local Control Accountability Plans.
There has been growing tension over how restrictive the rubrics should be in directing spending decisions almost since the landmark legislation creating the Local Control Funding Formula was adopted 2 years ago.
Initially, the Brown administration wanted to leave local school boards largely free to decide how to use state funds to support targeted student groups but had to give ground to advocates for low-income families and English learners who wanted at least some assurance that the additional state money would be used as intended.
Wednesday's hearing – which drew an overflow crowd and lasted close to five hours – was emblematic of the continued political strain between the two goals and the pressure the board is under not to weigh down the new system.
"I just want to restate my worry that if we have this many indicators that we're going to include at the state level and multiply it by subgroups, again, now we're back to the old (No Child Left Behind) model of 46 ways to identify LEAs that aren't doing as good as they should be," said Sue Burr, a former member of Gov. Jerry Brown's staff and his key education adviser. "We need to be careful about our enthusiasm for purposes of state decision-making."
The state board has been on a mission to find multiple measures for evaluating student and school performance since 2012 but the activity became even more urgent with passage by Congress late last year of the Every Student Succeeds Act.
While ESSA does away with the widely-discredited performance mandates of NCLB, it requires states to establish their own accountability system and submit them for review by the end of this year to the U.S. Department of Education.
The proposed rubrics has five performance indicators that schools will be judged – student test scores; progress of English learners toward English language proficiency; high school graduation rates; scoring on statewide assessments for grades three and eight in math and English; and suspension rates by grade span.
The directives added Wednesday include calling on staff to return in July with recommendations on adding performance measures surrounding teacher assignment; instructional materials and parent engagement. The board also asked for a report on including college and career readiness indicator as well as a measure tied to student health care.
Looming over the process is AB 2548 from Assemblywoman Shirley Weber, D- San Diego, which would more thoroughly dictate to the state board what should be included in the school accountability plan. It is probably not favored by Gov. Brown but it is unclear how much support the bill has in the Legislature and could be used to leverage changes desired by advocates for the poor and immigrant families.

I have a big passion for mini albums, they are my absolutely scrapbooking favorites. I love it. I like to create about the themes travel / trips, seasons, moments or favorite things. It gives you so many options for creating a mini album and I like it to look at it with my family. Therefore I will show you a tutorial about a mini album today which is easy and quickly to make.
The album includes 6 double pages. With one folder and a pocket. So there is enough space for a lot of pictures. First I selected the papers which fits perfectly to the photos. I matched the papers to my picture because of the colors. I like it when all matches together in harmonically. Next I cutted and folded the papers.
For the folder, you cut one paper to 4 inch tall and 9 inch across. Next you fold the paper at 0,5 inch and 6 inch from the left.
With the next paper we create a pocket. You cut the paper to 4 inch tall and 11,5 inch across. You fold the paper at 0,5 inch and 6 inch from the left . As seen on the picture you make a diagonal cut.
Now all papers are ready and you can put them together the way you want it.
I glued the papers with double-sided adhesive tape. Put the tape on the outside of the paper and glue it together with the previous page.
For the cover I used the brown cardstock from the kit and cut it for the front and the last page to 4 inch tall and 5,5 inch across. I painted these with white acrylic color and I glued the cover on the pages.
Now you can fill your mini album with photos, embellishments, tickets. And here is my complete mini album. I made this with some pictures from a great day in Munich.
Subscribe today--or during the month of January--while supplies last and get a free kit with the first kit in your subscription. We'll select a kit for you. New Pocket Life subscribers will get a recent PL kit. New Main kit subscribers will get a recent Main kit.

These sneaks also use a little from the January Embellishment kit. Be sure to check out our January subscriber presale on our website beginning at 10 p.m. PST on New Year's Eve.
We look forward to seeing you during our subscriber presale (December 31st, 10 p.m. PST) and full reveal (January 1st, 10 p.m. PST). Happy New Year!
Do you save some time to scrap in between Christmas celebration for a little alone time in the scrap room or are you planning to make a fresh start after New Year ?? I am one of them who likes to sneak down to my scraproom in the basement to escape when the kids get Christmas cabin fever to create.
I got the create with one of my favorite colors this month - pink found in the December 2014 Crazy Beautiful Add On Kit. The mix with pink and grey can't go wrong. As usual I have made a background with drops of mists painted with watercolors or just drops to complement the colors of the kit. The mists are great that way.
For the title I have mixed pieces from the Pink Paislee Bella Rouge ephemera. The piece magical is adhered on a heart and a square piece. The text Love is the die Crate Paper Maggie Holmes Open Book Die Set - available in the store.
I really love the album cover that I made last year so I really don't mind squeezing in 2013 & 2014 DD pages into one album.
I added a post card that my IG friend sent to me. It's pretty sad this year as this is the only Christmas card I have received + I literally sent out none!
Its simple and do-able right? I h ope you enjoy peeking into my not-so-completed December Daily album ;) Happy holidays!
I love this sketch because it is with a big photo and these are one of my favorites to create. I do not use a sketch for my layouts very often. But I think it's a good inspiration for how I can place my photos, journaling or title on the layout.
For this sketch I used a photo from November this year, so it is a fall layout. I love the idea with the layering and I made a little banner with fallen leaves. I cut them out and I painted two leaves with watercolors in the same green as on the photo. I love this combination. And I sewed some papers and used the cute little stamps for my layout.
Now it's your turn to take on this week's sketch! We love to see what you do with our kits and sketches so please make sure to upload your projects to the Citrus Twist Gallery. And remember, by uploading your take on today's sketch to the gallery by 12/28, you will be entered to win a $5 Coupon to use on anything in the CTK Store!
Christmas is almost here ! Have you work on your December Daily ?
I used the main and embellishment kit to do the firsts pages of my album.
Hello, Olya here. Today I'm bringing you my pages using our December Pocket Life and embellishment kits. Shall we take a look?
This month I used a smaller 6x8 format for my PL because I wanted to focus on telling a story of our snowy trip to Cypress mountain, home of the 2010 Winter Olympics.
And here is the right hand side. I used the Citrus Twist exclusive 'little sprinkles of love' to journal about our little trip. I stamped the arrow from this month's stamp set on the journaling card and added a few embellishments on the photos.
Here is another spread about our ski trip. I absolutely loved the woodgrain paper and the hearts embellishments that were included in the PL kits. Oh, and those transparencies.. soo good.
Closer look at the left hand side page.
And here's the right hand side page. I adhered the polaroid-like chipboard frame directly onto the page protectors. I wanted my husband to be the main focus of the photo as well as the frame to unify the 4x6 photo that I split up into two 3x4s.
And this is my non-mountain-ski-trip spread of December PL. I wanted to make a grid of 2x2 squares to showcase the little December memories throughout them, as well as have fun with the amazing embellishments that were included in this month's kits.
And the right hand side page, which is a 6x8 page consisting of 2x2 little squares I mentioned earlier. Don't you love that exclusive wood veneer? It was pretty much the jump start of the grid idea, as well as those cute photo frames.

Bin Laden's war against the U.S. economy
By: Ezra Klein Source: Washington Post May 4, 2011 1 Comment
Share on Facebook | Share on Twitter | Share on Google+
Category: Americas, World Affairs Topics: Osama Bin Laden, United States Of America Channel: Opinion Views: 3593
Did Osama bin Laden win? No. Did he succeed? Well, America is still standing, and he isn't. So why, when I called Daveed Gartenstein-Ross, a counterterrorism expert who specializes in al-Qaeda, did he tell me that "bin Laden has been enormously successful"? There's no caliphate. There's no sweeping sharia law. Didn't we win this one in a clean knockout?
Apparently not. Bin Laden, according to Gartenstein-Ross, had a strategy that we never bothered to understand, and thus that we never bothered to defend against. What he really wanted to do - and, more to the point, what he thought he could do - was bankrupt the United States of America. After all, he'd done the bankrupt-a-superpower thing before. And though it didn't quite work out this time, it worked a lot better than most of us, in this exultant moment, are willing to admit.
Bin Laden's transition from scion of a wealthy family to terrorist mastermind came in the 1980s, when the Soviet Union was trying to conquer Afghanistan. Bin Laden was part of the resistance, and the resistance was successful - not only in repelling the Soviet invasion, but in contributing to the communist super-state's collapse a few years later. "We, alongside the mujaheddin, bled Russia for 10 years, until it went bankrupt," he later explained.
The campaign taught bin Laden a lot. For one thing, superpowers fall because their economies crumble, not because they're beaten on the battlefield. For another, superpowers are so allergic to losing that they'll bankrupt themselves trying to conquer a mass of rocks and sand. This was bin Laden's plan for the United States, too.
"He has compared the United States to the Soviet Union on numerous occasions - and these comparisons have been explicitly economic," Gartenstein-Ross argues in a Foreign Policy article. "For example, in October 2004 bin Laden said that just as the Arab fighters and Afghan mujaheddin had destroyed Russia economically, al Qaeda was now doing the same to the United States, 'continuing this policy in bleeding America to the point of bankruptcy.' "
For bin Laden, in other words, success was not to be measured in body counts. It was to be measured in deficits, in borrowing costs, in investments we weren't able to make in our country's continued economic strength. And by those measures, bin Laden landed a lot of blows.
Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz estimates that the price tag on the Iraq War alone will surpass $3 trillion. Afghanistan likely amounts to another trillion or two. Add in the build-up in homeland security spending since 9/11 and you're looking at yet another trillion. And don't forget the indirect costs of all this turmoil: The Federal Reserve, worried about a fear-induced recession, slashed interest rates after the attack on the World Trade Center, and then kept them low to combat skyrocketing oil prices, a byproduct of the war in Iraq. That decade of loose monetary policy may well have contributed to the credit bubble that crashed the economy in 2007 and 2008.
Then there's the post-9/11 slowdown in the economy, the time wasted in airports, the foregone returns on investments we didn't make, the rise in oil prices as a result of the Iraq War, the cost of rebuilding Ground Zero, health care for the first responders and much, much more.
But it isn't quite right to say bin Laden cost us all that money. We decided to spend more than a trillion dollars on homeland security measures to prevent another attack. We decided to invade Iraq as part of a grand, post-9/11 strategy of Middle Eastern transformation. We decided to pass hundreds of billions of dollars in unpaid-for tax cuts and add an unpaid-for prescription drug benefit in Medicare while we were involved in two wars. And now, partially though not entirely because of these actions, we are deep in debt. Bin Laden didn't - couldn't - bankrupt us. He could only provoke us into bankrupting ourselves. And he came pretty close.
It's a smart play against a superpower. We didn't need to respond to 9/11 by trying to reshape the entire Middle East, but we're a superpower, and we think on that scale. We didn't need to respond to failed attempts to smuggle bombs onto airplanes through shoes and shampoo bottles by screening all footwear and banning large shampoo bottles, but we're a superpower, and our tolerance for risk is extremely low. His greatest achievement was getting our psychology at least somewhat right.
In the end, of course, bin Laden was just another bag of meat and bones, hiding in a walled compound in Pakistan, so deeply afraid of death that he tried to use his wife as a shield when the special forces came for him. But he understood the mind of the superpower well enough to use our capabilities against us. He may not have won, but he did succeed, at least partially.
But then, we can learn from our mistakes. He can't.

Pretty much sums up what i have been thinking all along . As our society and country falls apart from within we still cannot come to the reality of as Chalmers Johnson put it " The Sorrows of Empire ". AS Eisenhower warned of the Military Industrial Complex, it is alive and well but slowly draining the vital life of its host. But i believe that we will learn by our mistakes because the USA is still full of really good hard working citizens . The dream lives on for people all over the world.

Thunderstorms flood out LBI, create possible tornado
Flooding on Long Beach Boulevard (@iradiophilly via Twitter)
A line of thunderstorms that rolled through New Jersey may have spawned another tornado as Long Beach Island got drenched with several inches of rain closing its two biggest roads.
Most of the state picked up an inch of rainfall, according to Chief Meteorologist Dan Zarrow, with 2 to 3 inches falling from the heaviest downpours.
"We tapped into some deep tropical moisture on Thursday, stemming from Tropical Storm Barry in the Gulf of Mexico. Whenever you combine a warm, moisture-charged atmosphere with a strong cold front, you get torrential rain," Zarrow said.
He added that poor drainage on LBI didn't help the situation and helped force the closure of Long Beach Boulevard overnight through Ship Bottom and Harvey Cedars, which remained closed as of 6:15 a.m. The Causeway Bridge was also closed, but reopened around 5 a.m.
Ship Bottom's Borough Hall was opened for drivers who got stuck on Route 72 entering LBI.
The National Weather Service said it would conduct a storm survey on Friday morning in the Ramblewood section of Mount Laurel to determine whether it was a tornado or straight-line winds that brought down trees and did some property damage on Thursday.
"Radar did show some tight rotation in that area just after 7 p.m., and a tornado warning was issued for a brief time," Zarrow said.

Other areas were also affected by the storms.
A lightning strike was blamed for a house fire in Raritan and an electrical fire in Bloomsbury.
The heavy rain also quickly overwhelmed storm drains on Route 21 in Newark on Thursday afternoon which shot water 2 to 3 feet in the air, according to RLS Metro Breaking News
The Florida Georgia Line concert at the PNC Bank Arts Center was interrupted by a thunderstorm as concertgoers were advised to find shelter.
The Gridiron Classic high school football game at Long Branch High School was postponed until Friday.

Department Announces Settlements of Alleged Liquor Law Violations
HARTFORD, June 8 -- The Department of Consumer Protection announced today that Brescome Barton, Inc. of North Haven, a Connecticut-based liquor wholesaler, has resolved allegations of trade practice violations which were alleged to have occurred between August 2009 through and including January 2011. Under the settlement, which is contained in an Offer-in-Compromise between the Department and the wholesaler company, the company was required to pay $850,000 to the State of Connecticut. The Department alleged that the company and certain of its employees engaged in improper sales activity, including providing or furnishing services, advertising material or equipment to retailers. Such inducements are prohibited by the Connecticut Liquor Control Act.
In a related investigation, the Department has also resolved allegations of trade practice violations against Warehouse Wines and Liquor Corporation, a Stamford-based package store. This settlement, which is also contained in an Offer-in-Compromise, calls for the package store to pay $135,000 to the State. The Department alleged that since August 2009, employees of the package store and the wholesaler together engaged in trade practice violations, including the use of the package store to conceal deliveries of alcoholic liquor to out-of-state entities by certain wholesaler employees.
"The Department of Consumer Protection's primary liquor enforcement goals are preventing alcohol sales to minors, preventing alcohol sales to intoxicated persons, and assuring a fair and open marketplace for the benefit of consumers," Commissioner William M. Rubenstein said. "The settlements announced today are part of the Department's everyday commitment to assuring that alcohol is only sold fairly and safely."
The Department's Division of Liquor Control ensures that all segments of the liquor industry comply with state liquor laws. Today's announcement represents the initial results of an ongoing investigation into trade practice violations within the liquor industry in Connecticut.

Q: How to use multiproccessing (multithreading in this example?) I have this piece of code. It calculates different sequences of symbols using itertools f.e. in this file symbols (x) = [34567QWERTYUIOPLKJHGFDSAZXCVBNM] and replacements (y) = 54. My task is to use all the powers of the machine to calc those sequences asaf. I wanna use multiprocessing. Can you show how?
import itertools
import time
import datetime

def calc():
    start_time = round(time.time())
    print('Date at the begin ', datetime.datetime.now())
    for i in itertools.combinations_with_replacement('234567QWERTYUIOPLKJHGFDSAZXCVBNM', 54):
        xs = ''.join(i)
        with open('hash.txt', 'a+') as writefile:
            writefile.write('\n' + xs)
    stop_time = round(time.time())
    diff_time = stop_time - start_time
    print("Took over ", diff_time)
    print('Date of the stop ', datetime.datetime.now())

What do I need? I want to use
1)multiprocessing (or multithreading) to run this solution on a single machine and it would compute the result much faster
2)Distribute this process via some machines using websockets? or something. So we have machines in different places via the world that work as one and compute that piece of code asaf. Can u suggest something?

A: You could do something like this. It will utilise your whole CPU, it won't be much faster tough because multiple processes accessing the same file won't be fast. Multiple threads won't do you any good here because of Python's Global Interpreter Lock (GIL). As to how you would do something like this on multiple PCs, I don't know the answer, but, as Lancelot du Lac pointed out, you will never find all those combinations.
import itertools
import time
import datetime
import multiprocessing

def write(i):
    xs = ''.join(i)
    with open('hash.txt', 'a+') as writefile:
        writefile.write('\n' + xs)

def calc():
    start_time = round(time.time())
    print('Date at the begin ', datetime.datetime.now())
    pool = multiprocessing.Pool()
    for i in itertools.combinations_with_replacement('234567QWERTYUIOPLKJHGFDSAZXCVBNM', 3):
        last_item = pool.apply_async(write, args=(i, ))
    last_item.wait()
    pool.terminate()
    stop_time = round(time.time())
    diff_time = stop_time - start_time
    print("Took over ", diff_time)
    print('Date of the stop ', datetime.datetime.now())

if __name__ == "__main__":
    calc()

Q: How to use LatLngBounds? I am making a final requirement for our mobile application development subject and I am using gmaps, indoor maps to be exact. And I while researching about how to put my custom map in the google map. I encounter LatLngBounds. How do I use it without knowing the LatLng top, bottom, left and right values?

A: You dont need to know top,bottom,left and right.
You just determine two LatLang and bound the camera to them like below
 LatLng pickupLatLng = new LatLng(xx.xxxxxx, xx.xxxxxx);
 LatLng destinationLatLng = new LatLng(xx.xxxxxx, xx.xxxxxx);
 LatLngBounds bounds = LatLngBounds.builder().include(pickupLatLng).include(destinationLatLng).build();
 map.animateCamera(CameraUpdateFactory.newLatLngBounds(bounds, getResources().getDimensionPixelSize(R.dimen.map_camera_padding_new_bounds)));

They presented the church with a wood carving of the cross keys of St Peter which was carved by Gerry from a similar carving forming part of the lectern in the church. The carving will hang in the porch and will also be used by Rev. Jonathan to retell the story of St. Peter.

Q: jQuery parse htmlspecialchars() string as text I've run into an issue.  I am building an Ajax application with PHP, and am sanitizing my inputs via htmlspecialchars().  I am then processing the inputted string and using that to set the data attributes of certain html elements.  There's my problem.
Let's just say the user wrote <html>.  That input, with htmlspecialchars(), would be turned into <html>.  Now this is fine for displaying the content, but for the data attributes, I would like it to be inserted as <html>.  Is this possible?

A: there is a function that reverses what htmlspecialchars does:
htmlspecialchars_decode()
