They have many responsibilities and passions.
They have hopes, dreams, successes and failures. They are human.
They are helping us define our brand and we love who they are.
Introducing Zibby Owens.
Warm. Witty. Wise beyond her years.
CONVERSATIONS WITH ZIBBY OWENS
Zibby Owens has a very impressive resume which includes Yale graduate and Harvard Business School; however more important to us is her perspective on life. Her grace in which she handles challenges is inspiring. She is a down to earth and incredibly driven mother of four. She finds humor in the every day struggles of life. She takes on challenges with an energy we strive for and an enlightened perspective which we admire. To give you an idea of her modesty and down to earth character, Zibby says this after her recent NY Mag article and review:
"Did she really mean ME?! "New York's most powerful book-fluencer." "The Oprah of books in New York." "An Upper East Side preppier version of what Gertrude Stein was doing." I literally started crying reading it on Lexington Avenue. I never could have predicted that an article like this would EVER be written about me. I can "retire" now. Ha! Just kidding. I can't wait to get back to it. All of it."
Hedge Interview with Zibby Owens Transcript
Meagan: Thank you for inviting me into your beautiful home today. I only get to see
glimpses of you now that we're out of preschool and a little bit out here in the
Hamptons, so it's nice to finally really have a chance to talk. You have been a writer for your whole life and have now extended your literary love into a podcast interviewing authors about their latest works. What an inspiring job! I believe that writers are special breed. It takes so much vulnerability to write… to put your words and emotions down on paper and it takes so much bravery to share them with the world. I have an immense respect for your ability to observe; to reflect and to share it in such a touching, realistic often humorous fashion. It can truly change the way people think and behave. And that's a really powerful thing. Can you share with us a little about your process?
Zibby: Thank you! But I don't feel like it's brave because for me, writing is just
how I process what I feel. I sit down at the computer and my thoughts start
flowing from my fingers. Sometimes I use the writing to organize what I'm feeling.
It just comes easily from my brain onto the page. It's been that way my whole life.
I don't know why.
Meagan: It's certainly easier for me to write than to talk. It's very cathartic to get my
thoughts onto paper. How long have you been writing?
Zibby: I've been writing forever… since I could write. When I was nine years old, I was writing short stories in school and my grandfather, a rabbi, had a miniature book publishing business. He published two of my stories in my own little book for my 10th birthday. I realized I could hand out copies to people of what I'd written and it was the coolest thing ever. So, I've been doing it for as long as I can remember. My first published piece in a magazine came out when I was 16 years old. I wrote it when I was 14. It was about how I was feeling at that time when my parents were getting divorced. I was dealing with my body changing because I ate to deal with my feelings. I wrote that piece out of frustration when I was having a bad day. My mother found it and she suggested we send it to Seventeen magazine. They actually bought it and ran the story and I got so much wonderful feedback from it. I got to see the power of connecting with people, especially people who I didn't know, which is amazing.
Meagan: Wonderful. Your parents, from what I can gather, have been very supportive. They observed your talent and passion for writing and guided you. Did you always feel that you were allowed to be your whole self with them? Were they ever trying to get you to be a lawyer, or a doctor or in finance like your father?
Zibby: No, no. It was very clear that I was not going to do anything like my father in that way. I mean, I'm good at math. But not as a career. My parents wanted me to be whatever I wanted to be. They always encouraged me to try my hardest, whatever it was, or not to do it at all. No half ass trying. Like, if you're going to do it, then put your whole heart in it.
Meagan: So that's where your strong work ethic has really shown because you're
quite the entrepreneur. You have started a few successful businesses. Tell us the
steps you've taken since college and the businesses you've been involved with
and the projects you've been doing.
Zibby: I've always been really attracted to startups. After college, I worked for a tiny
brand development firm. I was really interested in understanding consumer behavior and what made people attached to brands. I originally wanted to be a psychologist. I joined a company called idealab!, which was an Internet incubator and tons of new businesses were just rolling through. It was a really exciting place to be at a time when the whole industry was changing. I caught the bug there. I just loved seeing what was possible; the branding in the beginning. Then I worked on more traditional consumer products doing marketing for Unilever. I helped launch the Vera Wang fragrance. I actually had an idea to start a service for young busy professionals with my roommate at the time. The idea was to have a service where people would wait for your cable guy or help you organize. I could see that all of my friends were so busy and didn't have time to do things like that. I mentioned it to my dad and he said, "You're not starting any business unless you go to business school. Then you'll have all the information that you need to create a company."
So, I went to business school. I got there two weeks before September 11th 2001. I lost my best friend Stacey that day. She was my college roommate. That event changed my life. I realized if I was going to die at my desk -- at my job -- then I had to bring my whole self to what I was doing. That upcoming summer, I had an internship at an ad agency which did the marketing for Pepperidge Farm cookies. It was sort of a dream job in some respects because I love cookies, I love food and I love marketing. But while I was there, I felt like it wasn't enough for me. I thought, this can't be it. Instead I decided to take a non-traditional path and took time off to write, which I had always wanted to do. It's hard when you're 25 years old to say, "I'm going be a writer." You don't have a lot of life experience which one really needs to inform your writing. Now that I'm in my forties, I know this is the time to write. Tell me about the crumb cake business you started, Nene's Treats.
One day I saw my husband Kyle at the computer and I was like, "What are you doing?" He said, "I'm helping my sister launch a Kickstarter campaign for her bakery with my mom and grandmother, Nene." They make incredible crumb cakes. And I was like, "Hold up! Let me help you." We came up with a new name, a slogan, a new logo. I enjoyed the branding. It was the easiest sell too, it truly sold itself. I got super involved and helped them get into a lot of different stores. They were successful because Kyle's mom and sister and grandma are relentlessly hard workers; it was all them. My mom and I helped get them into The New York Times and the farm stand in the Hamptons, Butterfield Market in NYC, and others started carrying them. That was really exciting and fun for me. However, it started taking
up too much time and Kyle's mom was ready to be the CEO, so I put that aside.
Meagan: How did you get back into writing?
Zibby: I started writing essays online about parenting. It was September. It was back to school mayhem… form after form, 'bring in toilet paper rolls for this class. Bring in this. Bring in that. Come for 20 minutes here. Sign up for this.' I was going out of my mind and I didn't have any time spend with the kids. Each one of my four children has after-school activities and has their own different schedule. I couldn't keep it all straight. So, I just vented about it, basically and I put it up on HuffPost and within a week I had like 65,000 read it or something crazy. That piece encouraged me to keep writing about parenting.
After a while, Kyle, my husband said, "You know, you should make a collection of your essays into a book." To which I said, "Moms don't have time to read books!" I was like, "Oh, that's what I should call my book!" Another friend of mine, an author named Sarah Mlynowski, who I had coffee with said, "You know, you should really have a podcast." And I was like, "Well, what's a podcast?" After she described it I thought, "Well, I'll just try it." I'll see what happens and see where it goes. My first guest was my friend and author Lea Carpenter, who I went to business school with. And I just loved the process. There are so few things where I'm focused, like today, how I am with you. This is great! On a day-to-day basis I feel like there are so many things going on all the time. When I do a podcast interview, it all just stops and I can focus and get to know somebody. And I love that, especially when I love the book.
Meagan: I'd like to ask you about Bibliotherapy….do you believe that books can be
medicine for the heart and soul? For me, books create a way to not only escape, but you get a chance to experience something a character is going through and you can learn from them. You can identify with the situation and it really does make you feel like you're not alone.
It's more than just enjoying the story. And regarding our children, I know the more they read, the more empathetic they can become; all of us can. A little time not being in the center of their own world all the time but getting into someone else's shoes.
Zibby: Totally. I've only heard the term 'bibliotherapy' once or twice before, but never heard it explained this well. And I now want to use that word all the time. I completely agree. People always say to moms, "Take time for yourself!" And I'm like, I don't have time for self-care. It's not happening! I can't go relax and take a bath. But I could open a book and read for a few minutes and immediately I'm somewhere else. Much more so than if I turn on the TV, which takes me like 10 minutes to even find something my husband and I like. And to your point, the empathy does come.
As I've gotten busier and busier, there's less time to sit and one-on-one bond with a friend over coffee. I've cut out a lot in favor of trying to get everything else done, and I miss that. It's so important. When I read, it's a similar experience. Reading about what the characters go through is the same as sitting and listening to a friend talk even though I'm not talking back… so I'm thinking back.
Meagan: In the book, Alice in Wonderland, the irresistible Cheshire Cat, says
'we're all mad here'. It's a wonderful quote because it's absolutely true. We are!
But, we don't reveal these characteristics of our personality to anyone other than
family or very close friends. Would you mind sharing something that makes you a
little crazy with us?
Zibby: Oh gosh. I always change plans. I change plans all the time. I think it drives
people around me crazy. The impetus for it is that I'm always thinking of some way to do it better. I feel like it comes from a good place. I also get very anxious about not having plans set. So, I book things really early and I'll have flights nine months out and then it gets closer and I say what if this other thing is better? What if we did this? Kyle makes fun of me and tells me that's what I say more than anything: "What if…" The whole family is like, all right, let's hear it.
Meagan: Well, at least they're on board!
Zibby: Yeah, I believe that my motivation is good, but I think the end result is often a lot of logistical nightmares!
Meagan: What is the best compliment you've ever received?
Zibby: The other evening at the dinner party we had a friend came over who I don't
know super well and she said, "You always bring together so many wonderful people. I think it's because you bring out the warmth in everybody." I thought that was so nice.
Meagan: You most certainly do that. And that was an incredible evening! You are an avid tennis player. Maybe even as passionate as I am. What is it that you love most about the game? Besides the fact that you met your husband playing tennis, which is another amazing story.
Zibby: I love that every shot, you get to do again and again. You get to figure out what you did wrong and then try it over right away. But golf... my issue with golf is when you have a bad hole it can ruin the whole game. In tennis you can just change it up right away. You never know what's going to happen. I love it. The challenge of where to hit the ball; the sensation of hitting the ball, playing with a good partner. I don't know. It's like a conversation you're having with somebody.
Meagan: Do you feel you have a competitive edge when you're playing or are you just kind of more for fun?
Zibby: I usually play for fun. I just like to hit. Everybody in L.A. plays something called Live Ball. It's basically like king of the court for an hour and a half, but they change up all the directions. It's really complicated. I make so many mistakes that I have to tell the group I'm playing with, "I'm sorry! I'm a smart person, I promise, but I cannot keep the directions straight!" It's challenging. It's fast-paced. I love it. You're constantly with new partners. It's all about strategy, but consistency. You have to try it. Mostly I just love hitting with my husband.
Meagan: I would love to try it. What was it like to grow up in Manhattan?
Zibby: I feel like the Upper East Side of Manhattan is just a tiny little village where I still live. I think I'm the kind of person that if I had grown up in like a small town in the middle of the United States, I would still be there. I want to be where I grew up, around the same people who I grew up with. It just happens that I grew up in like New York City. But I thought it was great! I really love the people I grew up with, many of whom are still in our neighborhood. At my kids' schools, I love the parents. Obviously, it's a unique experience now that I'm a grown-up and I see all the other ways I could have been raised but I'm choosing to raise my kids there, too.
Meagan: How are you navigating parenting in the city? Are you doing anything
differently than your parents did? Do you feel like there is a price to privilege?
Zibby: One of the most important parts of growing up in New York is being able to leave New York. So, getting the children out to see more parts of the world; getting them out for a break; getting them into nature, spending the summers out of New York is really important. I had that. I think each of my kids is really different. One of my kids in particular really just does not like New York. And he's very vocal about that. It's not for everybody. So he actually went to boarding school this year. Kyle and I spend a ton of time in L.A., too, which I love to visit. You know, it's just too intense for me when I don't escape for a little while. When we're here, it's great. We make the best of it. We go to the theater. We take advantage of amazing classes and museums and resources. And then… we're out of there.
Meagan: That's a nice balance. Do you have a secret that you would like to share? This is actually my daughter's question.
Zibby: I might have to think on this one a little bit. Hmmm….. well, I'm a pretty good juggler! People might not know that about me.
Meagan: What is one of your pleasures in life?
Zibby: Other than reading, seeing friends and playing tennis? I think drinking coffee is probably my biggest pleasure. I also really love to bake. That's one of my favorite things to do if I had the time. Other pleasures? I really love home design. Honestly, I like decorating. Home design magazines and picking things out and redoing things. And I really love photography. Another huge passion of mine taking pictures. I've done photography my whole life and now collect photography and go to photo exhibits. I follow a bunch of photographers on Instagram. And Lori, Lori does incredible work! (Lori Hawkins, our photographer and videographer for this Portrait & video shoot).
Meagan: What is a lesson you have learned lately?
Zibby: I'm trying to sell a new book now and am learning, daily, not to take rejection personally. I have to keep reminding myself of that. Over… and over.. and over. As my husband says, finding a publisher is like fitting a puzzle piece into a puzzle and you just have to find the right one. I'm working on that now!
Meagan: As adults we never stop growing and changing. How do you feel you are
growing?
Zibby: I'm growing so much. I'm learning all the time, interacting with new people,
absorbing new ideas, reading. My brain is like on fire right now! I'm overflowing
with ideas for articles, books, children's books, TV shows, even board games,
and it's because I'm just so in the flow right now!
Meagan: What scares you?
Zibby: Having something happen to my kids. Or Kyle. Or anyone in my family. Or
Meagan: What are you most proud of?
Zibby: My family.
Meagan: What is the most impactful book you have read?
Zibby: Oh boy. I can't pick one. Maybe the one my daughter, Sadie, just wrote for me!
Meagan: What endearing term did your dad call you growing up?
Zibby: Monkey or Monk or Miss Monk. My mom, too!
Meagan: What do you strive for?
Zibby: I want to help people. I want to connect and make people out there feel less alone.
Meagan: We share so many things in common, having started business, love for
literature, having too many kids in this crazy city, a passion for tennis…. Can you
tell us how you met your husband all fun details of your tennis themed wedding?
Zibby: We met when he gave my son, a reluctant tennis player, a tennis lesson and then told me he didn't want to teach him! I couldn't believe it. But I respected him for that! We got married next to our tennis court at a rental house and the reception/dinner/dancing was on the court! All our invitations had tennis puns, we had tennis ball cookies, a tournament roster for the guest list and more!

Q: RandomAccessFile: write(byte) in a loop or write(byte array), whats more effiecient? I am wondring what is more efficient should I use a for loop that invokes write with each byte x times, or I should have an array that will contain my data and write it with write(byte array)?
Basically the question is write(byte array) more efficient than subsquent calls for write(byte) in a loop.
I am programing in java and using RandomAccessFile.

A: Writing a byte array is always going to be quicker than repeated calls to write one byte at a time. There's much less overhead (method calls, IO).

SatMap's Active 12 updates the Active 10, which was a firm favourite with walkers who didn't want a touchscreen handheld GPS device. The 12 doesn't change anything about the hardware, screen size, functions or the push-button interface (except the orange instead of grey buttons). But the clarity of the screen and mapping, and the speed and power of processing are all significantly improved. The screen boasts twice the pixels of the older unit, meaning the mapping really is pin-sharp, putting it once more on an even footing against top-end Garmins and Magellans. It also adds a barometric altimeter and heart-rate monitor, but it's really the mapping you'll buy it for.

Protestant Nonconformity in Kilby, 1829-1916
Kilby is 4 miles south-east of Blaby and 9 miles north-east of Lutterworth.
Independent or Congregationalist
'Independents' numbered 150 worshippers in the Meeting House Return of 1829.[1] They used a chapel that was built in 1819 exclusively for their worship by Mr John Langham at a cost of £260.[2] In 1851 the 'Independent or Congregationalist' worshippers (as they were now called) used the chapel, which was capable of providing 120 free seats. The congregation on Sunday 30 March 1851 attended only an evening service, which had an assembly of 83 worshippers. No average congregations were reported and neither was any Sunday school.[3]
The chapel was still in use in 1881.[4] It was replaced in 1887 by a small Congregational chapel capable of seating 100 worshippers.[5]

Machine translated chapter 964 of Almighty Student light novel.
Among the man walked, country character face. On the face has written all over firm and resolute, body is straight, understood at a glance that this person has become a soldier. "Husband!" At this moment the Bing Xin mother wore the bathrobe to walk. "Volume! Who you, I told you me very much to love my wife, I will not do the matter that did a disservice to my wife, however, how you see such look familiar." The Bing Xin father opened mouth Xia Tian almost to collapse, he thinks the Bing Xin father can be a very serious person, but opened mouth is divulging the color of comedy. "Father!" Bing Xin threw directly. "Unmarried girl, you may come back, thought the dead father." The Bing Xin father has held Bing Xin. Which parents can not love dearly their children, Bing Xin goes ahead, ran up to Jiang Hai City to go directly, let their these, when parents was worried really very much. "Em, the unmarried girl, behind you that is your schoolmate?" The Bing Xin father has patted the jade back of Bing Xin. "Father, that is a mother." Bing Xin depressed saying. "Do not crack a joke, NM quickly turned into the yellow-faced old woman, possibly so to be how young." The Bing Xin father does not believe from the start that Bing Xin does not know how should explain, but the Bing Xin mother complexion actually changed. Because of yellow-faced old woman these three characters, she arrives at the Bing Xin father's front directly, the right hand pinches in the Bing Xin father waist, gets down deftly ruthless. Afterward she also twists! "Whoops!" Bing Xin father's pain hoarse grins, begs for mercy hurriedly: "Wife Sir, I made a mistake." This time he has determined, front beauty is own wife, this technique does not have others to be able besides his wife the meeting, but his wife change was also too big, making him a little unable to believe. "Snort, making you not believe." The Bing Xin mother twisted to drop. "Wife Sir, you felt rejuvenated." The Bing Xin father this time understands finally anything was called the pain to be joyful. "Is Little Tian delivers my cosmetics, mysterious." The Bing Xin mother said.
"Uncle is good!" Xia Tian extended own right hand. ", You are small Heavens!." The Bing Xin father also extended right hand, said that the father-in-law and son-in-law are enemies, because he must raise these many years daughter to give to this man personally, can be comfortable at heart. However the father idea of Bing Xin is the same with her mother, so long as daughter likes, their anything can not care, naturally, who must first see clearly Xia Tian is. The first impression is good, the Xia Tian long comparison sunlight is also charming. "Em." Xia Tian nodded. "Be not standing, sits down to chat, Little Tian, you want to eat anything, the aunt goes to do to you." The Bing Xin mother said that she simply was likes dead Xia Tian now, which woman didn't like to look good? She is also a woman, she naturally also liked to look good. Now Xia Tian makes all her of a sudden such attractive, was very happy. "Child TM, do not do, we exit to eat, you are so attractive, I must bring to exit to raise the eye to go." The Bing Xin father said directly. "Em, good, I change the body clothes, you chatted." The Bing Xin mother said that has run back the room directly. Xia Tian right hand, does not know where from has put out a palm of the hand big small wine pot. "Uncle, I have gotten one bottle of liquor, does not know that you do like." Xia Tian has given the Bing Xin father the small wine pot directly. "Comes, but also takes any thing." Bing Xin father smalltalk, but he received the small wine pot in Xia Tian hand, if after all he does not meet, Xia Tian was not good to leave office. The wine pot that but Xia Tian takes was too small, seems is more like the antique. In this is Maotai of attire, does not have how much money. "Uncle, this liquor is not suitable to drink, best is on but actually little, then blends the ordinary liquor, otherwise wasted." Xia Tian said. "?" The Bing Xin father has doubts looks to Xia Tian.
"Was good, the father, we go to the hotel to study, Xia Tian gives your thing absolutely is the good thing." Bing Xin does not hope own father drank exits again, who drives, making her mother open? The women are street Assassins. "Em!" The Bing Xin father nodded. At this moment, the Bing Xin mother walked from room, she wears a red long skirt. Noble, elegant, natural! This was three people to her first impression, the Bing Xin father completely looks silly: "Is this my wife?" "How is it?" The Bing Xin mother transferred. "beautiful!" Three people have raised up the thumb. The Bing Xin mother sees three people of expressions, is happily blossomed at heart simply, she never has to feel one such beautiful, this simply is beautiful in a complete mess, even if three people did not say that she has also understood three people of expressions. "Walks!" The Bing Xin mother broke down the Bing Xin father's arm. Several people sit the elevator directly under the underground parking garage, the car(riage) of Bing Xin is not the good car(riage), is only Volkswagen Passat, about 200,000 car(riage)s, Xia Tian this little could not master, the house of her family seems most minimum 2 million, but vehicle unexpectedly only opens 200,000. Normal, the vehicle that others intentionally buy dear, exits to discuss that like this business also talks about. The car(riage) of Bing Xin is but inexpensive. "Little Tian, what do you want to eat?" The Bing Xin mother asked that she more looked that now her son-in-law was more pleasing to the eyes. "Anything is good, I can eat, guarantee all one wants to eat on the line." Xia Tian said directly. Hears the Xia Tian words, three people have smiled, but also is very sincere, this showed that Xia Tian regarded the people of oneself family them, did not pretend, if others first time saw the father-in-law mother-in-law, that definitely more displayed is better, moreover gentry some that installed intentionally.

After Bing Xin parents, is his parents. "Good, eats a Northeastern Chinese cuisine, the flavor is authentic." The Bing Xin mother said. "Good!" Xia Tian said. "Eats the sauce bone!" The Bing Xin mother said. "Good!" The Bing Xin father is now happy, now wants to eat any him to comply, because his wife changed pretty.

Among the man walked, country character face. On the face has written all over firm and resolute, body is straight, understood at a glance that this person has become a soldier.

Whirlpool Employee Heads Back To School
Employees Wondering What They Will Do To Make Living
Updated: 7:49 AM CDT Nov 2, 2011
Employees of the Whirlpool plant in Fort Smith, which has announced it will be closing its doors in mid-2012, are left wondering what they will do in order to make a living.Sylvia Bradshaw said she has been a production worker for Whirlpool since 1984."You give your life to Whirlpool, sweat, tears, everything else. There are days where you'll be dragging out of there," Bradshaw said. "That's where I've been for the last 28 years, and now I'm back to square one, so here we go again. But I'm not as young as I used to be."Having committed close to three decades to Whirlpool, Bradshaw said she took a voluntary lay-off in September, and she never expected her eight weeks of time off would turn into applying to go back to school."I've looked into nursing, radiology, respiratory care. That's about a two-year program. The medical field seems to be, I'm interested in it," said Bradshaw.Bradshaw said it sounds easy, but school or a new field of work is intimidating."I can use my mind instead of my body this time. There's no guarantee at my age if they'll hire me or not. You have a lot of people like that at Whirlpool right now," said Bradshaw.On top of searching for future opportunities, Bradshaw said she is faced with losing her comfortable lifestyle."Food, it's not going down, it's going up. Gasoline is outrageous. It's a toll on the family," said Bradshaw.Bradshaw, however, said she will continue to stay optimistic, especially for her grandchildren."That's three little girls that, they need that American dream. They need that. Every one of us needs that, especially the upcoming generation needs that," said Bradshaw.Bradshaw said she's hoping Whirlpool will cover some of her expenses for going back to school. She is still waiting to hear later this week if the company will provide her and other employees with a severance package.

Elon Musk Named Time Magazine Person of the Year
Time Magazine announced today that Elon Musk is the publication's Person of the Year. The title is not necessarily an award, but rather is given to the person or persons who have had an outsize impact on the world and influence on the news over the previous year. Musk's prominent role as the head of Tesla, his venture into space travel with SpaceX, and his current position as the world's wealthiest person, has made him both a household name and a controversial presence in the automotive world and beyond.
This year, Tesla became a trillion-dollar company and continued its reign over the growing electric-vehicle market. Musk's SpaceX venture also had a monumental year, launching the first space mission with an all-civilian crew in September. But the Time article points out not only Musk's business acumen, but also his outspoken personality, describing him as "a madcap hybrid of Thomas Edison, P.T. Barnum, Andrew Carnegie, and Watchmen's Doctor Manhattan." From his comical, snarky tweets—which can border on Internet trolling—to his appearance on Saturday Night Live in May, Musk manages almost always to find a way into the daily news cycle.


I gathered various images of bokeh lights and photography, similar to the approach I took when I created the podcasts intro video (below). I also built a collection of different angles around the city of Toronto. These were important in order for me to build dynamic shapes I found across the city. Lastly, Crash and Flow already had a color scheme that I aimed to use. However, the end video resulted in being monochromatic due to the aesthetic nature of the original logo design created by graphic designer Wahiba Bukhari.
Using the name itself as a source of inspiration along with the theme of Toronto, Ontario as a city, I fashioned the idea of culture, city-entertainment and music into the ideation phase. Gathering various together, I began sketching out different ways I could represent these themes. A few iterations originally contained an abstract city block with large typography, similar to billboard advertisements. Changing variations and adjusting particular elements lead to the final design approach; an active city shaping the modern world through entertainment, culture and music.


Checked out the opening of Haute Dog on Falls Road at the Bonjour Bakery and Café in Mt Washington. Way tasty dogs and a cute idea for the buns. They have aluminum er—kinda—phallic looking things that they use for the buns. The phallic thingys push the bread to the bottom, making a perfect hole for the dogs. Doesn't take much to amuse me. Anyway, they have gourmet toppings and some of the best chefs in town are offering their fave dog recipes. Fabulous franks on Falls indeed. Right across the street is Tropicool—amazing ices, shakes, lemonade and more. AND-treats and water for the puppies 'cause they're right next to the puppy park a.k.a Lake Roland.
Speaking of animals—here's something that really gets my goat.
Last week I went to see one of my fave bands around town-Cruise (CruiseRock.com) at Stables in Westminster and I ordered a diet coke. And they charged me $4.00! REALLY?? And for all the restaurants that have corking fees—well-don't get me started on that.
Bluegrass Tavern in on Hanover Street in Federal Hill now has Valet Parking beginning at 5pm - Tues-Sun. I love that! I have zero patience for driving around the block. BlueGrassTavern.com.
Helen's Garden, one of Canton's best-liked restaurants is closing their doors but there's still time to stop by. Reservations are recommended --call 410-276-2233. HelensGarden.com.
Mom Rom went to the Artful Gourmet in Owings Mills and ordered the veal marsala. She wants to go back for more—she's been raving. It's a destination restaurant but a big hit in the hood.
Sotto Sopra on North Charles Street has a brand new menu and it will blow you away. Owner/Executive Chef Ricardo Bosio, a native Italian, is a master in the kitchen. We're talking BEYOND top chef. Go, go, go!!!


John Nichols: Fools look for a fight between newspapers and the net. The challenge is to defend print and digital journalism, in an age of big-media myopia.
Simon may technically deal in the realm of entertainment, but the entertainment industry is--for better or worse--the definitional force in the media these days. And a greater extent than anyone in media, Simon gets it, which is to say that he understands the threat that the decline of newspapering and the ensuing collapse of journalism poses for civic life and American democracy.
He used The Wire to portray the decline of a major daily newspaper and the damage done to the major urban center that relied on that had--before the layoffs came--counted on that newspaper's reporters to keep an eye on crooked politicians and corrupt corporate interests.
So when Simon was called to testify before the Senate Commerce Committee hearing on the future of journalism that was convened Wednesday by Massachusetts Senator John Kerry--who is justifiably concerned about the potential closing of the Boston Globe--it was good news.
Kerry, who has always been more interested in media issues than most senators, arrived with some weighty quotes but not much else. The 2004 Democratic presidential nominee mused about how: "The words of Joseph Pulitzer are still true--our republic and its press will rise or fall together."
When newspaper chains began cutting personnel and content, their industry was one of the most profitable yet discovered by Wall Street money. We know now--because bankruptcy has opened the books--that the Baltimore Sun was eliminating its afternoon edition and trimming nearly 100 editors and reporters in an era when the paper was achieving 37 percent profits. In the years before the internet deluge, the men and women who might have made the Sun a more essential vehicle for news and commentary--something so strong that it might have charged for its product online--they were being ushered out the door so that Wall Street could command short-term profits in the extreme.
Such short-sighted arrogance rivals that of Detroit in the 1970s, when automakers--confident that American consumers were mere captives--offered up Chevy Vegas, and Pacers and Gremlins without the slightest worry that mediocrity would be challenged by better-made cars from Germany or Japan.
That is a diagnosis of what Simon refers to as "what went wrong in American newspapering," rather than a prescription for curing the ills of the industry.
Simon frankly acknowledges that there may not be a cure. Kerry referred to newspapers as "endangered." Simon said, "I don't know if it isn't too late already for American newspapering. So much talent has been taken from newsrooms over the last two decades and the ambitions of the craft are now so crude, small-time and stunted that it's hard to imagine a turnaround."
Some of Simon's fellow panelists inclined toward the notion that the answer can be found on the Internet. "The future of quality journalism is not dependent on the future of newspapers," declared Arianna Huffington, whose Huffington Post project is making a go at online journalism.
But Simon was bluntly dubious. "The day I run into a Huffington Post reporter at a Baltimore zoning board hearing, is the day that I will be confident that we have actually reached some sort of balance," he snapped, in the hearing's ultimate "ouch" moment.
Much was made of the supposed clash between "old-media" Simon and "new-media" Huffington. The New York Times spilled digits about it, with an unsettlingly defensive post by Eric Etheridge. And Jane Hamsher wanted everyone to know that "Online News is Not Arianna Huffington's Dastardly Plot to Destroy the Newspaper Industry."


Low, Ying Binng (2018) Nutrients Suspended Solid and Organic Matter Removal From River Water Using Sugarcane Fibres (Bagasse). Other thesis, INTI INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY.
The adoption of agriculture waste materials as alternative adsorbent has become an attractive option because of its low cost and availability. The utilization of agriculture waste material such as Sugarcane Bagasse (SCB) can help reducing waste problems and therefore beneficial to the environment. This study presents the investigation of Sugarcane Bagasse as an alternative adsorbent used for river water treatment and it enclosed the evaluation of adsorption efficiency of SCB for nitrate, phosphate, total suspended solid, biological oxygen demand and chemical oxygen demand by the means of calculation of adsorption capacity and percentage removal of each pollutant. The performance of adsorption by manipulating the flow rate of water is studied and the comparison on pollutant's concentration level based on INWQS is also discussed in project. The techniques used in this project is adsorbent as filtration media whereby water will be circulated using prototype for three consecutive days. The results shows that the percentage removal of nitrate and phosphate for low flow rate are 88.52% and 7.69 % whereas for total suspended solid is 86.75%. The percentage removal for nitrate, phosphate and total suspended solid for high flow is found to be 92.94%, 33.33% and 92.21% respectively. It was observed that both high and low flow rate shows a reduction in pollutants concentration level and both adsorption capacity and percentage removal of pollutants are greater at high flow rate. The usage of SCB as adsorbent would contribute to alternative low cost adsorbent usage and reduce the agriculture waste disposed to the landfills.

Assassin's Creed Odyssey has a battle royale
Perhaps it was only a matter of time before Assassin's Creed got into the battle royale genre, as it the inevitable course for all videogames in this post-PUBG world. Odyssey features its own take on the genre, though it's not a multiplayer mode – instead, there's a particular mission that challenges you to be the last person standing against 99 other non-player competitors.
The 100-person melee takes place on the island Melos, a level 41 zone that you likely won't reach until quite late in the game. There, you'll find a man named Drakios, calling out for competitors in the Battle of One Hundred Hands, which begins a quest called The Great Contender.
100 people are dropped onto an island, and you've got to kill them all to become the ultimate winner. It doesn't have you jumping from an anachronistic airplane, but otherwise it hits all the battle royale notes. You can fight opponents straight-up, or go for a bit of stealth and sneakily dispatch them or snipe them from a distance. As Gamereactor notes, this isn't part of the main story, so keep an eye out if you don't want to miss it.
If you want to see the whole thing spoiled properly, you can check it all out in the video below.
Don't take this as a hint for the likely return of Assassin's Creed multiplayer, though. Ubisoft creative chief Serge Hascoet tells Game Informer that battle royale's success has brought a lot of competitors, and "many will be killed along the way." Never say never, but it sounds like Ubisoft isn't chasing this particular trend.
The Assassin's Creed Odyssey release date is set for this Friday, though you may be already playing early if you picked up one of the pricey special editions. You can follow that link to find out much more about what to expect.

Panama Canal World Map: Where is Panama Canal location on World Map
January 30, 2022 June 22, 2022
The Panama Canal World Map is a man-made waterway that spans the Isthmus of Panama and links the Atlantic as well as Pacific seas. Panama owns and administers the island, 40 kilometers long-spanning coast to shore.
Ships may cross in either direction and indeed the journey takes around ten hours with one coast toward the other. Here you will get other world maps too for free, which you can download very easily from here itself with their PDF format such as:

Panama Canal in World Map
Previously towards the Panama Canal, the commercial journey from New York to San Francisco took two months and just sent ships around all over the southern end. By lowering travel time and expense, the canal has aided worldwide trade. Merchants now travel 8,000 miles less often and take only 30 days to complete their journey as shown in Panama Canal on a world map.
Because of the Panama Canal, Panama is renowned as a transit country. Birdwatching, boat tours, and snorkeling trips are among the country's natural features, which include the famed canal. Panama connects central and southern America by a natural wooden bridge.
Panama Canal Location on World Map
Where is Panama located on the world map? The location of the Panama Canal on world map is a Central American country. Alongside Costa Rica to that same west as well as Colombia towards the eastern.
On the Ocean Composite Map of the World. Panama has been one of approximately 200 nations depicted. This map depicts a mix of geographical and political characteristics. It covers country borders, important cities, shading relief big mountain, blue color variation ocean depth, and many more elements. This is an excellent map for learners, businesses, workplaces, and other places where such a lovely globe map is required for instruction, presentation, or decoration.
Suez Canal and Panama Canal on World Map
The Suez, as well as Panama waterways, had significant effects on world trade, owing to two elements in particular. So far the most evident is the shortening of traveling time connecting different parts of the globe. The latter is related to the steamship's arrival at almost the same time. Which became willing to employ more efficient flights at a quicker and more steady pace, compounding the benefits of reduced traveling time.
Where is Panama Canal on World Map
It lies 621.84 miles (1000.76 kilometers) closer to the equator, making it a temperate zones country.
Ships moving from either the Atlantic to that Pacific Ocean will use the Panama Canal as little more than a shortcut. A ship sailing between New York City to Tokyo would no longer have to travel around at the southernmost point to join the Pacific Ocean. This resulted in significant fuel savings, enhanced the pace of international commerce. And cut the delivery cost of nearly all items passing through into the canal.

Augustin Rösch (ur. 11 maja 1893 w Schwandorf, zm. 7 listopada 1961 w Monachium) – niemiecki jezuita, prowincjał, opozycjonista w okresie III Rzeszy związany z Kręgiem z Krzyżowej.

Życiorys
Wychował się w katolickiej rodzinie. Jako osiemnastolatek wstąpił do zakonu jezuitów. W 1925 przyjął święcenia kapłańskie. W 1928 został generalnym prefektem, a potem rektorem szkoły jezuickiej Stella Matutina w austriackim Feldkirch. W 1935 wybrano go na prowincjała Prowincji Górnoniemieckiej Towarzystwa Jezusowego. Prześladowania jezuitów przez narodowych socjalistów przysparzały mu poważnych problemów. Wielokrotnie wstawiał się za swoich współbraci. Stawał w obronie praw kościelnych.

W 1941 zapoznał się z Helmuthem Jamesem von Moltke; nieco później spotkał Alfreda Delpa, opozycjonistę także związanego z Kręgiem z Krzyżowej. Moltke spodziewał się, że zarówno Rӧsch, jak i Delp przyczynią się do przezwyciężenia różnic wyznaniowych, chciał on, aby plany nowego, pohitlerowskiego porządku w Niemczech możliwie mocno wesprzeć na wartościach chrześcijańskich. W Kręgu Krzyżowej Rösch wywierał wpływ na sposoby rozwiązywania wielu dylematów wyznaniowych i kulturowo-politycznych; dawał wiele praktycznych rad co do zachowania podczas aresztowania i przesłuchania. Dzięki niemu nawiązano kontakty z wieloma katolickimi opozycjonistami. Brał udział w najważniejszych spotkaniach Kręgu z Krzyżowej w posiadłości Helmutha von Moltke.

Do końca był przeciwnikiem zamordowania Adolfa Hitlera. Po nieudanym zamachu z 20 lipca 1944 udało mu się długo unikać aresztowania. Od września 1944 był poszukiwany, ale dopiero 11 stycznia 1945 gestapo ustaliło jego kryjówkę i aresztowało. Podczas przesłuchania został ciężko okaleczony; udało mu się jednak dotrwać do końca wojny. Przetrzymywano go w berlińskim więzieniu położonym przy ul. Lehrter, ale na krótko przed wkroczeniem armii sowieckiej 25 kwietnia 1945, podobnie jak inni skazani, został wypuszczony na wolność.

W 1953 otrzymał Wielki Krzyż Zasługi (niem. Großes Verdienstkreuz) Republiki Federalnej Niemiec.

After viewing their enormous collection, I couldn't help but shop from there & here are a couple of things that I bought from Limeroad.
I'd been craving since long for a classy red bag & found the perfect one at Limeroad. It's a red textured tote from Alessia(an Italian brand) of an eye catching color with two zipper compartments that provide ample space to thrust in your things. I really like the flap button closure which makes this bag very secure. It's worth INR 999 (£11) but it's available for INR 899 these days!
To partner this bag, I also went for a chic pair of red wedges from Pavers England. The textured heels look beautiful with red. Lovely design & comfortable fit make them ideal for summers!
Unfortunately these wedges are no longer available on LIMEROAD, hope fully they will be back. Nevertheless you can check out other amazing footwear from flats, heels, wedges etc.

(a) (1) Beginning in 2001, and in each succeeding year through 2005, the director of taxation shall issue a certificate of eligibility for refund to each claimant who received a refund of property taxes under the homestead property tax refund act for the prior year. After the certificate has been completed by the claimant and the county clerk of the county in which the property is located, the claimant may present such certificate to the county treasurer in lieu of paying that portion of the first half of taxes on the claimant's homestead in the current year which equals the amount of the homestead property tax refund received by the claimant for taxes levied in the preceding year up to the amount of the first half of the property taxes due.
(2) Prior to presenting the certificate of eligibility for refund issued under subsection (a)(1) to the county treasurer, the claimant shall sign the certificate, and shall also assign, in a space provided on the certificate, the refund to the county to pay the taxes on the claimant's homestead for the year in which such certificate is issued. The claimant shall then submit the certificate of eligibility to the county clerk for review. The county clerk shall review the claim, based on proof of eligibility as prescribed in rules and regulations adopted by the secretary of revenue, to determine whether the claimant will be eligible for the refund. If the county clerk is satisfied the claimant will be eligible, the county clerk shall sign the certificate and return it to the claimant.
(3) The county treasurer shall send a copy of each certificate of eligibility for refund under subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) to the director of taxation by December 31 of each year prior to 2006. After receiving a claim of any claimant who has obtained a certificate of eligibility under this section, the director shall examine the same, and if the claim is valid, the director of accounts and reports shall draw a warrant in favor of the county in which claimant's homestead is located upon a voucher approved by the director of taxation in the amount of the allowable claim for refund. Sufficient information to identify the claimant shall be directed to the county treasurer with each warrant. Any taxes levied in any year on the homestead of any claimant who has obtained the certificate of eligibility under subsections (a)(1) and (a)(2) in excess of the amount paid to the county by the state and by the claimant on or before December 20 of such year shall be paid by the claimant on or before May 10 of the succeeding year.
(b) (1) Beginning in 2006, and in each succeeding year, the director of taxation shall issue to the county clerk by October 15 an electronic record containing the name of each eligible claimant who received a refund of property taxes under the homestead property tax refund act for the prior year.
(2) When initially filing a claim for a homestead property tax refund between January 1 and April 15, 2006, and between January 1 and April 15 of each year thereafter, the claimant shall be given an election to receive such refund directly from the director of taxation or have such refund applied on claimant's ad valorem taxes in the county. The claimant shall make the election on a form supplied by the director of taxation. Such refund shall not be applied to any special assessment.
(3) After the electronic record under subsection (b)(1) has been received from the director of taxation, the county clerk of the county in which the property is located shall make any corrections needed, if any, based upon information known by the county clerk concerning any change in eligibility of any claimant listed in such record. After any needed corrections have been made to the electronic record, the county clerk, on behalf of each claimant listed in such record, shall certify the information contained in such record to the county treasurer in lieu of paying that portion of the first half of taxes on the claimant's homestead in the current year which equals the amount of the homestead property tax refund received by the claimant for taxes levied in the preceding year up to the amount of the first half of the property taxes due.
(4) Beginning in 2006, and in each succeeding year, the county treasurer shall certify and return the electronic record referred to in subsection (b)(1), including any changes made by the county clerk pursuant to subsection (b)(3), to the director of taxation by December 31. After receiving a claim of any claimant who is listed in the electronic record submitted by the county treasurer, the director shall examine the same, and if the claim is valid, the director of accounts and reports shall draw a warrant in favor of the county in which claimant's homestead is located upon a voucher approved by the director of taxation in the amount of the allowable claim for refund. Sufficient information to identify the claimant shall be directed to the county treasurer with each warrant. Any taxes levied in any year on the homestead of any claimant who has obtained the eligibility herein provided for in excess of the amount paid to the county by the state and by the claimant on or before December 20 of such year shall be paid by the claimant on or before May 10 of the succeeding year.
(5) For the purposes of this subsection (b), the term "electronic record" shall have the meaning ascribed to it in K.S.A. 16-1602, and amendments thereto.

Home / News / Choice of business structure important for business owners
By: Jason Whong	June 17, 2019 3:39 pm
An owner's choice of business structure can have wide-ranging impacts, including how the business is taxed, how protected the owner is from liability and what kind of reports and business processes are required.
Erik Moore
Choosing a structure for a business can be easier with advice from professionals. Erik Moore, Chief Investment Officer with Moore Wealth Inc., an investment adviser in Frederick, Maryland, said he works with business owners and their accountants to make sure they've got the right structure for their businesses.
"We're going to try to understand as much as we can about every one of these business owners' personal lives as well as how their business runs," Moore said.
Among the questions Moore asks: How many owners are there? How many employees are there? What are your personal goals for the business? How do you plan to exit the business later? Some business structures can be more beneficial down the line depending on the answers to those questions, Moore said.
After that, the question is, "how do we go from there to create the best scenario for them to save money long-term, invest money in the best way, and then … anything they can put out to their employees, also," Moore said.
Most of the clients Moore works with already have ta business structure that makes sense, but for about a quarter of clients, Moore said after conferring with the client's accountant, he may suggest a different structure to the client.
"Usually, the answer they have is … 'you know, I've meaning to get to that,' or 'Oh, I never even really thought I could do that,'" Moore said.
Here's a look at five businesses and the organizational structures they chose. While the circumstances of each business in this story played into their decision, a common thread among each business is that they made their decisions with the help of advice from experts.
The 'side hustle'
Gina Brelesky
Gina Brelesky has been in the human service field for most of her career, doing direct support for people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities, and working as a corporate educator. Through her work, she has met people that have asked her to help out with projects for other businesses.
"I ended up creating this side hustle, actually," Brelesky said of her coaching and consulting business in Harford County, Maryland. While she's been employed full-time for the past 35 years, she's worked with other teams to help them with their goals. "It really just came out of something I absolutely loved to do," which is learning development.
"I still work full-time. I am at what I would I would say is the third act of my current career," she said. "So as that third act comes to a close, then my business will be online full-time."
Because Brelesky doesn't want the job to grow too quickly — "I don't have quite enough energy for two full-time jobs," she said — and with advice from a small business program about what makes the most sense for her right now, she chose to stick with the business structure automatically given to people working for themselves: sole proprietor.
"I don't have any employees," she said. "I am … the only person really doing anything in terms of this business."
Brelesky said she gets the most requests for one-on-one coaching, and she plans to increase the number of coaching clients in the future. She envisions the next five years as a time of laying the ground work for working with more clients, with an aim of picking up the pace in perhaps three years. She is considering conducting business also in Hawaii, Montana, and may even end up in some sort of partnership. She says it's possible she may need a different business structure later.
The consultancy
Dustin Hewit
Dustin Hewit has about two decades of experience in communications for hospitals, health care, economic development and other fields. He began working on forming his business, Long Run Communications, in April 2018 and launched it formally in July 2018 from his home in Corning, New York.
Hewit does writing and communications planning. Some clients already have a marketing plan and need him to write something for a website or annual report. Others don't have those plans already made, so he works with clients to figure out their goals and intended audiences, and comes up with a way to achieve their objectives.
"At this point it has built up lots of interest and great support from folks that I've known," Hewit said. "It just seems to fill a niche."
There's another part of his business that took off, almost by surprise to Hewit: adult training and education facilitation. Sometimes he manages communications for the education programs, and other times he'll be in the classroom teaching.
"That's been a really nice additional part of the business," Hewit said. "I really enjoy it a lot and I get to work with some great people who are doing really, really cool stuff."
Hewit's accountant recommended he choose a sole proprietorship for Long Run Communications. It cost him nothing, and it was very quick for him to set up. Though other business structures can reduce a business owner's liability, Hewit says he is covered: he has liability insurance to protect him.
"Even though that's not required, it is advised. And it's also, frankly, required for some of the contracts that I have. So that allows me to get some work that I would not be able to get if I weren't insured, and also it does protect me."
Hewit is pursuing new business, but he's almost at full capacity, and that's fine by him. "The business is doing exactly what I want it to be doing," said Hewit, who is moving into new office space in July. Any change in structure in the future will depend on advice from an accountant and an attorney, he said.
Dan Schepleng
Dan Schepleng began freelancing as a graphic designer in 2015, working for different agencies. He also worked in-house at an e-commerce fulfillment company, developing the company's branding.
One day he went on a beach trip and began to think about his goals for freelancing. "I was like, 'I need to do something. Either I need to go get a real job or or grow this into an agency.'"
Schepleng chose to build an agency, and started Kapowza, a creative marketing firm in Baltimore that does graphic design, video and digital media for its clients.
To grow, he worked in-house at the e-commerce company for two days a week, and spent the other three working on Kapowza, eventually transitioning that company to Kapowza's first client.
Schepleng hired two part-time employees: a graphic designer and an account executive, as he grew the company cautiously into the full-time shop it is today.
I have worked at some places that had cash flow issues, and I've seen a lot of mistakes made by other agencies trying to grow too fast," Schepleng said of starting small and growing steadily. "Now, a couple of years later (after starting the business), we're about to be four people and we have a beautiful little office" in the Natty Boh Tower in Baltimore.
When Kapowza started, Schepleng stayed with the sole proprietor structure for a while. Under the advice of an accountant and a lawyer, and based on what he told them he wants Kapowza to be in the next 30 years, Schepleng chose an S-corp for Kapowza. "I wanted to add partners," Schepleng said. "I wanted to be able to grow." In the long term, Schepleng sees Kapowza growing to other markets, or perhaps even to Europe.
Aside from the tax benefits of the S-corp structure, there's an intangible benefit for Schepleng, who has previously owned limited liability companies. "There's something about being an actual incorporated company that feels a little different," he said.
The community hub
Randi Hewit
Randi Hewit, who is married to Dustin Hewit, is leader of a philanthropical nonprofit organization. In the city where they live, Corning, New York, there was once a women's center that operated as a nonprofit, but it closed perhaps 15 years ago.
After the 2016 general election, women and feminists in the community thought they needed a place like the women's center again. "But I knew from my world of philanthropy that that business model, it doesn't work," said Randi Hewit. "You can't keep the lights on without some kind of revenue stream."
Randi Hewit's plan was to figure out a working business that could double as a women's center, so she worked with her best friend, Sarah Blagg, to develop Card Carrying Books & Gifts, a feminist bookstore in a historic shopping district that serves as a meeting space for community events.
"We set out to create a business plan and then open a business that would give all the resources and referrals you need for a healthy feminist community and allow the place to stay open."
Working with an attorney, the pair considered their options, including a benefit corporation, sometimes called a B corp, which would be driven both by mission and profit, but decided that option was too complicated for them. An attorney advised them to choose an LLC.
Initially, the plan was for both friends to be equal partners in the LLC, but the decision that ultimately made the most sense was for Hewit to be the owner of the LLC and for Blagg to be the only employee. "That just simplified everything, as far as filing was concerned," said Hewit.
Since the shop opened about two years ago, it has hosted Girl Gang, a "feminist youth group" that meets a few times a month, a sex education class, civil rights education for student protesters, beer tastings, author visits and other events.
"We started this business in order to make sure we had a place for people to gather and organize and feel safe," said Hewit. "And the business itself is growing. … I'm not saying it's making a lot of profit but it is. We are selling a lot of books."
The storefront is the only independent book store in the region that sells new books, Hewit says. She also sees a growth opportunity in the store's online subscription services, which can provide revenue when foot traffic traditionally slows during colder months.
The investment advisors
Moore Wealth, the investment advice firm, chose a C-corp for its structure. It made the most sense for the company from a tax perspective and also because of the savings vehicles the company uses that lets it grow money over the long term before distributing it to employees.
Each person at the firm is an employee, including the owner, his mother, Shabri Moore, Moore said.
"The corporate tax rate is lower than a lot of our personal ones so that ends up working out in our favor," Moore said.
Business owners have options for organizing their businesses. Choosing the right structure depends on each business' circumstances, and the desires of the owner or owners. There's no "one right choice" for business, but business owners who make an informed choice are in a better position to be well-served by their decision over time.
Choosing the right structure for a business is part of the planning that Moore focuses on with business owners.
"We've kind of found this niche of working with business owners because the planning is more important, really. (It's) something we can actually control. Markets kind of do what they do."
Common Business Structures
Businesses that don't register as any other kind of business are automatically known as a sole proprietorship. There's no separate business entity, so the business' assets and liabilities aren't separate from personal assets and liabilities.
Partnerships are an easy way for two or more people to own a business. Limited partnerships have one general partner with unlimited liability, while other partners have limited liability and limited control over the company. Profits are passed through to personal tax returns. The general partner must also pay self-employment taxes. Limited liability partnerships give limited liability to each owner. Each partner is protected from debts against the partnership and each partner isn't responsible for the actions of other partners.
Limited liability company An LLC protects a business owner's personal liability. Personal assets won't be risked if the LLC loses a lawsuit or goes bankrupt. Profits and losses can be passed through to personal income. LLC members must play self-employment taxes.
corporation, sometimes called a C corp, is a separate legal entity from its owners. It can make a profit, be taxed and can be held legally liable. Sometimes, profits can be taxed twice: when the company makes a profit and when dividends are paid to shareholders. Corporations can raise money through the sale of stock. They have strict filing and operational processes. An S corporation is designed to avoid the double taxation that occurs in C Corps. They let profits and some losses pass through to owners' personal income without being subject to corporate tax rates. S corps can't have more than 100 shareholders, and each must be a U.S. citizen.

Rock Star Brownies. Cakey, chocolatey and a little fudgy and covered in dulce de leche and sprinkled with sea salt. These brownies are everything you ever wanted and more!
So I had some leftover dulce de leche in the house. My husband was scouring the internet in search of the perfect sweet treat recipe so he could have more. This stuff is addicting. He showed me a few recipes but I already knew what I was going to do.
And brownies are his favorite. Let me just say this: these are not regular brownies. These are something else. The brownie itself is pretty darn tasty but the dulce de leche and sea salt sprinkled on top put these in a whole different league. So, they only way I could think of describing them was to call them rock star brownies. These are the kind of brownies that you bite into, close your eyes and just enjoy them. They are cakey, chocolatey and a little fudgy and totally crumble if you try to eat one right out of the oven. And then you get the dulce de leche. You quickly open your eyes and look around to see if anyone is watching you. . because you might have your own When Harry Met Sally moment. And then you continue to eat more and suddenly realize you ate 3.
"Here's to the crazy ones, the misfits, the rebels, the trouble makers, the round pegs in the square holes, the ones who see things differently . . . they change things, they push the human race forward. While some may see them as the crazy ones, we see genius. Because the people who are crazy enough to think they can change the world, are the ones who do." Steve Jobs' The Crazy Ones commercial.
Let's be inspired by these today. Some believe that Steve Jobs wrote these words himself. If anyone knows who wrote this, please let me know.
You can tuck parchment paper into your brownie pan to help with removing the brownies and cutting them; totally up to you.
10 tablespoons unsalted butter + more for the brownie pan slightly softened but doesn't have to be room temp.
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees. Lightly butter your brownie pan.
Using your stand mixer, mix together the butter and the sugar for about 2 minutes until light and fluffy. Add the vanilla and the eggs (one at a time). Mix to combine. Add the cocoa powder, flour and salt and mix well. Stop and scrape the mixing bowl as needed to ensure everything is mixed together properly.
Pour your brownie batter into the buttered pan and bake for about 30-35 minutes.
Transfer to a wire rack to cool. When completely cooled, pour on your dulce de leche and sprinkle with sea salt. Cut and enjoy! This will make 6 ginormous brownies or 12 small ones.

I think I just had a "when harry met sally" moment while I was reading this! Such a decadent treat and so easy to make. Thanks for sharing!
hahah, love it! I loved that scene in the movie .. 🙂 Thank you, Sarah!
Perfect, perfect way of using ddl. My favorite traditional birthday cake is a good dark chocolate one filled with ddl. But, this should be done while the cake is still warm so some of the dulce de leche seeps into the cake. Undescribable. And these brownies reminded me exactly of that! I will be making them Alice!
Freaking amazing! And how do you have leftover dulce de leche? Jason would never let that happen!
Haha, thanks! I made an entire batch myself! Used some for cookies and then this . . my diet isn't very happy right now.
Yummylicious! I'm in search for perfect brownie recipe and I think I found one already. Especially with dulce de leche – amazing!
