For most people, tax time is about as much fun as taking a bath with an electric eel, and taxes on your investments can be particularly confusing and irksome. Nevertheless, if you make wise use of capital losses and gains, you may find that you owe less in taxes than you thought.
Here's what you need to know to be tax-wise about the investments you own, or those you might be considering adding to your portfolio.
If you realize a gain on an investment, you will have to pay taxes on that gain, unless it is in a tax-favored retirement account. Just how much you pay will depend on your income, your purchase price, your sale price and how long you held the investment.
Timing is crucial. Suppose you invest in SnapTat, a phone app that lets users share and compare their cool tattoos. You buy 1,000 shares at $10 apiece, for a total cost of $10,000. SnapTat stock goes up and you sell the shares for $12,000, six months after your purchase. Because you bought and sold your shares less than 12 months apart, you now have a short-term capital gain, which will be taxed at your maximum income tax rate. If you're in the top 40.8% tax bracket, which includes a 3.8% Medicare surtax, you'll owe Uncle Sam $816 on your gain—40.8% times $2,000.
Let's say you wait more than a full year between your purchase and sale. Now you qualify for a more favorable long-term capital gains rate, which is determined by your taxable income. High earners whose modified adjusted gross income puts them in the top 23.8% capital gains bracket (which includes a 3.8% surtax) would owe $476 on their SnapTat gain. If your income is low enough, you won't owe any capital gains tax.
At tax time, you match up all of your long-term gains against your long-term losses, and your short-term gains against your short-term losses. Then you match any remaining gains against remaining losses to figure your capital gains tax. Let's say you have $10,000 in long-term gains and $6,000 in long-term losses, and you have $1,000 in short-term gains and $7,000 in short-term losses. You'll be left with $4,000 in long-term gains to match against $6,000 in short-term losses, leaving you with $2,000 in short-term losses in the end. If you wind up with losses, you can deduct up to $3,000 worth from your income. Losses greater than $3,000 can be carried over into the next tax year and future years, until they are used up.
Qualified stock dividends are also taxed at capital gains rates. What makes a dividend qualified? Again, timing. You must hold your stock for more than 60 days sometime within the window that extends from 60 days prior to 60 days after the ex-dividend date—typically, one business day before the dividend record date. Non-qualified dividends are taxed at your ordinary income rate. If you're investing via a mutual fund, your fund company will spell out how much of its dividend payout is qualified.
To figure gains, you need to calculate your cost basis: the purchase price adjusted for tax purposes. It's important to adjust your cost basis for reinvested dividends. You pay tax on dividends that you reinvest as though you've pocketed the cash. But you won't be taxed twice—once when the dividend is paid and again when you sell—because your cost basis is adjusted upward by the amount of the dividend.
Say you invest $10,000 in Amalgamated Hat Rack and receive $300 in dividend payments while you hold the stock. Then you sell your shares for $12,000. To calculate your cost basis, add the $300 in dividends to your $10,000 initial investment. Your new basis is $10,300, and your gain is $1,700. Investment expenses, such as commissions, will also increase your cost basis and reduce your taxes.
Keep good records. Brokerage firms must keep records of all purchases and sales of securities for at least six years, and many keep them longer. Vanguard, for example, keeps trade confirmations back to 2008.
If you sell a portion of your stocks or funds, you have four choices: You can sell shares in the order you bought them—first in, first out, or FIFO. This will increase the odds that you'll pay the lower long-term capital gains rate. But you may have reason to sell the shares you bought most recently—last in, first out, or LIFO—if you just bought shares and the stock tumbled, allowing you to take a capital loss, for example. You can also specify certain shares to sell, or just assume you'll use the average cost per share when figuring your basis.
Mutual fund companies will generally give you information on your fund's average cost per share. If you use the average cost per share to account for part of a position that you've sold, you'll have to use the same method when you sell the rest.
For sales of individual stocks, the IRS will usually assume you sold the shares using FIFO. If you choose another method, you must tell your broker in writing, and keep a record of that order in case the IRS asks about it. Switching too often among different cost methods could mean that a brokerage would be reluctant to guarantee accuracy if the IRS inquires, warns certified public accountant Michael Landsberg, a member of the American Institute of CPAs' Personal Financial Planning Executive Committee.
Taxes on income from bonds (or bond funds) vary by bond type. Corporate bond income is taxed at ordinary income rates; Treasury bond interest is subject to federal taxes, but not state taxes. Municipal bonds, however, are catnip for tax-averse investors. Munis are free from federal taxes. And if you live in the state that issued the bond, you've hit the tax-free trifecta: Interest is typically free from federal, state and local taxes. If you own a muni fund that buys bonds from all states, your fund company will let you know what percentage of your interest is free from state and local taxes.
Despite today's low yields, a muni bond or fund could well be a better choice than a comparable taxable I.O.U. Before you can decide, however, you'll need to compare the muni yield to a tax-equivalent yield. For example, Vanguard Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt (symbol VWITX) has a yield of 2.26%. In order to get the same yield after taxes, a person in the 37% tax bracket would have to earn 3.59% from a taxable alternative and would likely take on much more risk to do so. To figure the tax-equivalent yield, first, subtract your tax bracket as a decimal from 1. Then divide the tax-free yield by that result. In this case, you'd divide 2.26 by 0.63 (or 1 minus 0.37) to get 3.59%.
In a single-state tax-free fund, the rewards can be even richer. Vanguard California Intermediate-Term Tax-Exempt (VCAIX), for instance, yields 2.09%. If you pay the maximum 13.3% California state tax rate and the 37% federal tax rate, your combined tax rate is 50.3%. In this case, your tax-equivalent yield would be 4.24%.
Savers don't have many good tax-free options. Yields on municipal money market funds are so low that you could be better off in a taxable fund. Vanguard Municipal Money Market Fund (VMSXX) currently yields 1.33%, equivalent to a 2.11% taxable yield for those in the 37% tax bracket. The 100 largest taxable money market funds yield an average 2.24%, according to Crane Data.
Most of the dividends paid by real estate investment trusts and master limited partnerships are taxed at ordinary income tax rates. Unlike many corporations, REITs and MLPs generally pass their cash flow directly to investors. Because the money is not taxed at the corporate level, it doesn't qualify for the more favorable qualified dividend tax treatment.
Under the new tax law, however, investors can deduct 20% of their REIT and MLP income as a qualified business income deduction. To qualify for the full deduction, among other requirements you need taxable income below $315,000 if you file a joint return ($157,500 for all other taxpayers). You can take the deduction even if you don't itemize. Not all MLP payouts are taxable: You may get payments that are a return of capital, which you don't owe taxes on. Your MLP's K-1 tax form will let you know how much of your MLP's payout is taxable and what tax treatment it ultimately gets.
Many countries withhold taxes on dividends paid to foreigners. If you invest in an international fund, an international stock or an American depositary receipt, the odds are good that box 7 of your 1099-DIV form will include an amount indicating the foreign taxes paid. The Foreign Tax Credit lets you recoup some or all of those taxes.
Every year, you have the choice of taking a deduction for foreign taxes, which reduces your taxable income, or a credit, which reduces your taxes dollar for dollar. The IRS says it's generally better to take the credit. Use Form 1116 to figure the tax or credit, and enter it on Schedule 3 of Form 1040.
As investments get more complex, so does their tax treatment. Profits from futures trading are generally taxed as 60% long-term capital gains and 40% short-term gains, no matter how long you've held the contract (and in futures trading a few days is a long time).
When you buy or sell option contracts on an exchange, the tax rules are the same as for stocks. Profits on options held less than a year, which covers most options, are typically taxed as short-term gains (the same as ordinary income) and losses are short-term capital losses. Income you pocket for selling (called writing) an option to another investor—to buy a stock that you own, say, or to sell you a stock—gets taxed as a short-term gain. Options aren't easy, tax-wise; if you wade into options, take an adviser with you.
Gold bugs get less-than-golden tax treatment. The IRS treats gold bullion (and silver, platinum and palladium) as a collectible—the same as baseball cards—rather than as an investment, such as stocks or bonds. Long-term gains on collectibles are taxed at 28%. If you invest in an exchange-traded fund that buys and sells precious metals, your gains will also be taxed at the 28% rate. Funds and ETFs that invest in gold-mining stocks, however, get the same capital gains treatment as any stock fund.
You may receive a capital gains distribution from your mutual fund, reflecting securities it sold over the year (even though you didn't sell anything). If you own a fund that consistently doles out big capital gains payouts, consider investing in an index fund. Vanguard 500 Index (symbol VFIAX), for one, hasn't paid a cent in capital gains since 1999 (it has paid dividend distributions).
You might also consider a tax-efficient fund, which attempts to limit both capital gains distributions and dividend distributions. T. Rowe Price Tax-Efficient Equity Fund (PREFX) strives for above-average after-tax returns—and gets them. The fund has averaged a 16.87% annual gain over the 10 years that ended February 15, beating 80% of large-company growth funds.

Start by pressing the water out of the tofu using a cheesecloth or paper towels and sandwiching the tofu in between with a heavy weight on top. The idea is to slowly squeeze out the excess moisture to have a thicker, "meatier" texture to the tofu. To this for about 15 minutes, and then remove the cloth or paper towels and replace with fresh ones for another 15 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Heat oil in a large skillet coated with cooking spray over medium heat.
Add the onions, garlic, and bell peppers and sweat the vegetables for about 5 to 8 minutes.
Add in the oregano and basil and the optional cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes. Thoroughly mix to coat all the vegetables.
Add in the tomato paste and allow to cook "into" the vegetables. Stir until well coated and fragrant.
Add the diced tomatoes and bring the sauce to a boil. Reduce to low and simmer for 20 minutes.
While the sauce simmers, discard the wet paper towels or cloth you used to press the tofu and cut it into ½" thick slices.
Heat another skillet with cooking spray over medium - low heat.
Dredge the tofu slices in the flour and fry each side until lightly browned on both sides. Remember to spray the pan after you've finished each batch to avoid sticking.
When you are removing them from the skillet, place in a glass baking dish in one layer.
Pour the sauce over the tofu and sprinkle with the parmesan cheese and additional chopped basil.
Bake for 30 minutes or until everything is thoroughly heated.
Serve over a bed of whole wheat spaghetti or linguini.

Q: reference render function argument in jinja Is there a way in jinja to reference the entire argument passed to the render function?
Assuming I do pass a dictionary like this
tmplt.render({"a": 1, "b": 2}}
is there a way to do like
        {% for key, value in ????.items() %}env("{{ key }}", '{{ value }}')
        {% endfor %}

so i do get list like

env("a", '1')
env("b", '2')
?
I currently solve this by using
tmplt.render(dic = {"a": 1, "b": 2}} and thereafter access via dic.items()
        {% for key, value in dic.items() %}env("{{ key }}", '{{ value }}')
        {% endfor %}

Wondering if there is no other way so i don't have to go for dic.xxx each time?

If going to Maryland is on your agenda, you will definitely want to consider going to outdoor activities. Instead of hanging out in the cities like Baltimore, you should do something that involves hiking or walking instead. There are quite a few parks all throughout the state, and there are also beautiful waterfalls that you will absolutely enjoy. Here are a few of the parks that you should visit and waterfall that everybody talks about when they get back from their trip to Maryland.
What Time Of Year Should You Visit?
Traveling into Maryland should be done during the summer months if possible. This is when most of the activities are in full force. You will be able to do many things in the city, and outside of the city, including these activities that will take you down by the ocean, and also into state parks where you can see beautiful waterfalls.
This is located in Ocean City. It's nice enough that in this beautiful region of Maryland, but the Northside Park makes it even better. It's very close to Fenwick Island, and also the state park that is there, allowing you to see quite a few things. You can head up into Bethany Beach if you want to, or just head back down to Ocean City going past the Jolly Roger amusement park. After you have done that, you will then want to head over to the waterfall that everyone loves which is called Money Creek Falls.
This is actually in the Swallow Falls state park. If you like waterfalls, you will definitely like this one. It is part of the Youghiogheny River which is about 9 miles away from Oakland. This should not be confused with the city of the same name in California. Once you have gone there, you will definitely remember these falls. It's one of the beautiful areas of the park. You can take pictures there, or simply have a picnic that you can enjoy during the spring and summer months.
Baltimore might be your next stop, or perhaps you head over to Frederick. Silver Spring is another nice place to go. However, if you want to stick with doing things that are outdoors, just go to these parks and waterfalls, and you will have a fantastic time participating outside in Maryland the next time that you go.


Born in Nottingham, England, he was the younger brother of Henry Youle Hind. In 1861-1862 he joined an overland party heading by Red River cart from Upper Fort Garry to the Cariboo, sketching all along the way. He returned to Winnipeg in 1869 and again sketched and painted. His painting of a Red River cart has been reproduced often. He spent his later years in New Brunswick.

Insurance studies indicate that most job injuries occur to new employees because of the unfamiliar work environment and a lack of safety training for the new job. With this in mind, organizations can reduce workers' compensation cost by adopting a new employee safety orientation.
A good approach? Use a thorough checklist.
A supervisor should conduct safety orientation the first day of employment.
Impress upon the new employee the organization's commitment to safety, the fact that accidents can be prevented, and what to do when unsafe conditions are observed.
The examples above are only a few ideas of what should be included on a new employee orientation checklist.
By taking the initiative to reduce accidents, members can reduce turnover, increase productivity, increase morale and help the trust save on workers' compensation costs.
Safety-related questions or concerns can be directed to the trust's loss control consultants.

Road Map for the Next Five Years
President Ibrahim Mohamed Solih delivered his first Presidential Address at the opening session of the People's Majlis on 7 Feb 2019 . In his address, he touched upon several key issues and presented the road map for next five years.
Key Highlights of the President's Address
Journey towards democracy – The President stated that, his administration's commitment to govern within the confines of the constitution and the laws of the land, every aspect of administering the Maldivian State is geared towards ensuring the rights of the people, establishing social justice and improving livelihoods and wellbeing.
Zero-tolerance to corruption – President said that the people elected him in the hopes of moving away from the culture of corruption and kleptocracy that was poisoning the Maldives , in this way a bill has been submitted to the Majlis to criminalise unlawful acquisition of wealth, which has been designed by the Government to raise the penalties for senior State officials implicated in such cases. He reiterated that there will be no allowance for corruption within this Government, and assured that his administration firmly abides by a policy of zero-tolerance to corruption.
Economic progress – President Solih stated that the government aimed to achieve considerable economic progress within the upcoming five years. In this way, he highlighted that the aim was to increase state reserves to USD 1 billion by the end of his presidential term . 2019 reserve is expected to reach USD 803.4 million compared to USD 757.8 million in 2018. the economic objective of increasing state revenue to MVR 30 billion by the end of his five-year term. The government had received MVR 21.7 billion in grants and revenues by the end of 2018, while public expenditure was at MVR 25.5 billion. Hence, there was a fiscal deficit of MVR 3.8 billion by the end of 2018. The total public debt was MVR 49.7 billion, which constitutes 58 percent of GDP. State revenue for this year is estimated to increase 7.8 percent compared to the previous year and reach MVR 23.3 billion. Tax revenue will constitute a significant proportion of this figure.

The Airbus power supply for the air-conditioning controls is cooled by the very system it controls.
The IGBT module's is built without conventional base plate such that IBGT chips and power diodes are mounted directly to the die cast housing of the turbine that circulates conditioned air throughout the cabin. Heat is conducted through the housing to stator blades that are immersed in the air drawn through the turbine.
The approach velocities in the turbine are above 50 m/s and the velocity between blades approaches the speed of sound. The heat transfer coefficient to air is close to maximum and can not be improved. Therefore, the junction-air thermal resistance is governed by the heat conductance from the module to the blade surface and by the effective cooling surface area.
The analysis with a thermal design software product showed that optimum heat transfer occurs when the components are positioned precisely above the blades and that even a small offset is detrimental over the entire design temperature range. Varying other design parameters, such as number of blades, blade pitch, etc. produced a critical variation of temperature drop of 10-17 K between junction for the hottest chip and the sensor of the IGBT module.
Maximum cooling occurs when chips are mounted directly over stator blades.
Our Thermal Design experts also investigated the heat dissipated by the electrical windings in the core of the annulus. Initially, there was concern was that this heat might raise the IGBT temperature significantly. However, the Coolit analysis showed that even maximum temperature conditions only slightly increased the junction temperature of the IGBT.

Long before Memphis-born sensation Lucero was conceived and years before the band would even dream of setting off on their strenuous, almost-constant 15-year touring spree, there was only a group of scruffy teenagers with aspirations of continuing their city's proud tradition of rock 'n' roll.
"I had never really played in a band before and I wanted to start one, but I didn't really know how to play guitar too well. I had been bugging a few people about starting a band for a while, then I ran into Ben Nichols, who had been in a band called 'Red 40,'" says Brian Venable, one of Lucero's founding members and lead guitarist. "I kind of conned him into a starting a band, when we met up to jam he showed up with a whole lot of songs and I had like one guitar part." After that chance meeting with Nichols, the two set off on a blistering journey that would last for many years to come, eventually joining up with Venable's childhood friend and future bassist John C. Stubblefield as well as drummer Roy Berry.
By 1998, the band had formed a steady four-piece lineup which to this day remains the core of the group. It was then that Lucero was born. "I found the name in a Spanish-English dictionary, it said 'bright star,' and I thought to myself 'That sounds good,'" recalls the barrel-chested Venable, who wears his southern heritage on his sleeve in the form of a myriad of tattoos that echo the band's whiskey-soaked lyrics.From that point on the four-piece would start gigging in and around Memphis, playing any venue or backyard that would let them set up. "In the early days we played lower-ranking shows, every club that was open for 10 minutes, then shutting down the next day, and playing in whoever's backyard we could," says Venable. "We'd go to a party, they'd pull out an extension cord and we would set up right there in their backyard, and we would get shocked every time one of us would touch the microphone."
The burgeoning band found solidarity in Memphis's music scene, a breeding ground for musicians with the same ambitions that the newly hatched Lucero had. The group pushed forward, trying to find their own sound. "At the time there were tons of local bands in Memphis, there was a great music scene. There wasn't any pressure, we could and did create our own style of music to some degree," says Venable. "In Memphis, we were allowed to incubate, so to speak. We would practice about once a week and we did what we thought sounded right. There wasn't anyone telling us, 'That's not how you do it.' We were able to grow a form of our own, and at our own pace."In 2001, the band found their sound and released their debut studio album, the eponymous 'Lucero,' with another full-length release the following year titled 'Tennessee.' "When we recorded the first two records, I was working at a record store, Ben was driving back and forth from Little Rock and we all had jobs, it wasn't the full-pounding band that it is today," says Brian. "When we listen to some of our older records, I immediately cringe because I feel we could record those albums so much better now."
In the 11 years to follow Tennessee's 2002 release the band has released six other full-length albums, along with their recent EP, 'Texas & Tennessee,' which was released this past April. "A lot of bands these days don't stay together for 15 years, they break up quicker than that. You can't make the same record over and over again, and after that long you get kind of tired, you want to experiment with your music; keep it fresh," says Venable.Though staying true to their southern-rooted style and heartfelt lyrics, the band's sound has evolved from the simple-natured rawness that was the essence of their earlier recordings into their own beautifully-composed signature dissonance that defines the band through songs like "My Best Girl," an ode to lead singer Ben Nichols' faithful six-string partner and "Go Easy," a drifting tune for a rainy Sunday backed by an uplifting gospel choir. "After 15 years as a group, or even as an individual person or musician, a band would hopefully grow creatively. I think when you're starting out and growing up you wish you were from anywhere other than where you are, wherever it is for whoever it is; kids just go through a certain rebellious stage," says Stubblefield, the band's bassist. "Being from Memphis you kind of rebel against the whole Elvis and Blues scene, since it's practically been shoved down your throat your whole life, but at a certain point, we came to embrace our region and where we were from, a lot of people don't do that."
This melodious rebellious streak continued in fall of 2009 when the band released their first album to feature a horn section, 1372 Overton Park, which was distributed through Universal Music Group. "You start out at a certain level of playing, and it's been 15 years since we started. What were you listening to 15 years ago, what were you writing? Over time you get better at what you do. However, the horns and keys opened up our music's possibilities, we thought, 'Maybe it'd be cool if we did this or that -- and now we can," says Venable. "The horns and keys give us a bigger sonic palette to do what we wanted, a lot of bands will bring pianos and horns on the record and just tour as a four-piece, but we take the whole band out and tour, which a lot bands don't do anymore."As the band has grown musically and popularity-wise, they have also added several members and instruments to their original lineup, including pianist Rick Steff, pedal steel player Todd Beene and a handful of horn players. All of which have expanded their sound and versatility leaps and bounds beyond a small band of backyard strummers. "Over time we grew, one of the first times we went to Little Rock we played little pavilion outside, now we're playing The Riverfront Amphitheater," Stubblefield says.
The band continues writing songs and releasing albums that mirror their life experiences, from lovers, liquor, friendships and the good and bad that accompanies the in-betweens. "Our songs, for the most part, are about chasing girls, catching girls, hanging out and having a good time, or not hanging out and having a real bad time; it's just about parts of life, good old fashioned love songs," says Venable. "I think we're doing what we're supposed to, we go out and we play music that people will want to have a good time to and sing along with; the 'nights to remember' kind of thing."Due to Lucero's distinct sound, the band has been deemed a number of different genres, ranging from alt-country to heartland rock, country-punk to soul. However, the band feels there is only one category they truly belong in. "We don't try to cite our genre anymore, we just want to be a rock 'n' roll band," says Venable. "You want to be up there with the Tom Pettys, the ZZ Tops. We're not an alt-country band, we're not southern rock — we're just a rock 'n' roll band."
Over the past 15 years, the band has made a reputation for themselves for spending more hours on the road than they do at home, sometimes being on the road for more than 200 days out of the year. "At this point we're a band of brothers and we definitely have our ups and downs, fights and this and that, but it always works out, at this point it's just what we do," says Stubblefield. Though it may be hard to imagine being in a van with the same three people for the better part of the past two decades, the band seems to find ways to deal with one another's differences. "We don't see each other that much when we're home, we all go through our problems, just like a family, when we have arguments they might last a little while, but when you live in this box together for 200 days out of the year, you learn to get over things pretty quick," says Venable.And while the idea of playing the same catalog of songs for years might seem exhausting, the members of Lucero find ways to make every night a memory of its own while still incorporating a sense of familiarity that accompanies the lyrics Nichols belts out nightly. "Generally, we don't even write out a setlist. We'll pull out tunes ourselves and take requests from the crowd, so that is definitely something that keeps playing shows fresh for us," says Stubblefield. "Sometimes we will revisit a song that we haven't played in a year, and suddenly we're playing it in front of 500 people, it keeps us on our toes and having fun for sure."The band has made a name for themselves across the country, gaining notoriety through various outlets like Craig Brewer's $5 Cover on MTV.
Along with some notable media appearances and excellent reception among reviewers, the band has carved their own niche and formed an audience of adults and teens from all across the country. "Crowds are a growing and evolving thing," says Stubblefield, who pauses to knock on wood before continuing. "However, there have always been and still are punk rock kids hanging out with the normal kids, metal kids standing next to all different versions of skater kids, and all of these different groups of folks that you wouldn't typically see at a show together just hanging out and having a good time. At Lucero shows there all kinds of people getting along and being brought together through the power of music."
When Venable and Stubblefield are not on tour they still reside behind the bluffs in Memphis, still paying homage to the city that made them the band they are. "I don't think the band would exist except for the fact that we're from Memphis, due to the influences we were formed by. Even if somehow the band met in some other city in an alternate reality, I assure you we wouldn't be the same band, nor would be playing as well as we are now. Memphis is right in the middle of the country, we were allowed to branch out, easily tour and grow like a proverbial pebble in a pond. I guarantee if we were from the West Coast or the East Coast we would of moved after a couple of years," says Stubblefield. "People come to Memphis from all over the world, some just to pay homage to Elvis, but anywhere you go Memphis is kind of a Mecca to rock 'n' roll and blues. Everything that comes from here is a part of this lineage, and to honor and spread that lineage by getting out and about around the country is like being an ambassador of sorts for Memphis music, and I take that very seriously."When it comes to the legacy of Lucero, Stubblefield recalls a story he had heard about the Memphis legend behind Sun Studio's golden years, Sam Phillips. "Back in the day, Sam Phillips once said something about Rock 'n' roll that I hope people will think about us, back then people would ask him 'What is this music? Black people are listening to it, white people is listening to it, rich folks, poor folks, everybody is listening to Elvis Presley and the music coming from Sun Studios,' and he said, 'It's just good music for good people,' before Rock 'n' Roll was coined that's what they called it. Good music for good people," says Stubblefield. "Fifty years from now, or anytime between, I hope that's how our music and us are perceived, good music for good people."

Obviously a near-term $70 or so drop by gold will inflict some pretty heavy damage on many PM stocks. We therefore require a strategy or strategies to deal with it. Basically the choice is to set close stops that take you out of most PM sector investments if gold breaches the parabolic uptrend, or alternatively, if you want to stay long, the losses can be cancelled out by hedging using Puts, using perhaps a mix of Puts in gold proxy GLD and in the gold miners 3Xleveraged bull ETF, NUGT, where it should be noted that spreads are considerably wider than with GLD, and there are other possibilities. If you get taken out of your positions due to such a drop, you then aim to buy them back at a better price as gold arrives at the support shown on our chart. Note that what is set out here overrides most comments made on individual stocks, which is because they are like sheep and tend to all move together during bigger sector moves. Finally, if you agree with what is set out here, you don't need to wait to take this evasive action, and sell at lower prices by being taken out by stops, and also pay higher prices for Puts, you can take evasive action immediately. The scenario set out here would only start to be negated by a gold breakout above the top line of its bear Flag.

Michael Jackson liked them with mushy peas, Churchill called them "good companions" while John Lennon smothered them in ketchup.
Yes, fish and chips have a great tradition and, for many British people in Brussels, are a much missed favourite.
The good news is that there's a place here that's doing its bit to keep the flag flying in Belgium for this somewhat underrated food.
It's called Bia Mara and the even better news is that the food is rather good.
So much so, in fact, that since the first Bia Mara opened – near the Grand Place in Brussels – the concept has really taken off and proved a big hit, both with expats and lots of other nationalities.
The second to open was in Antwerp, close to the city's cathedral and right at the heart of its historic quarter, and the third was in Place de Londres, very close to the European parliament.
The owners, two young Irishmen who started out on a market stall, have now opened their fourth Bia Mara, in the Flemish student city of Leuven.
For those unfamiliar with Bia Mara is a fish and chip place with a slight difference.
Unlike the sometimes very ordinary fare served at similar outlets in the UK this place offers "spicy" fish, an innovative twist on the more traditional version served in Blighty.
It's a short menu and the two customer favourites are the classic panko together with the lemon basil infused tempura.
The main difference between the two is the thickness of the batter but both are very good.
The panko is coated with a light Japanese breadcrumb that creates a thin, crusted coating while the tempura has a light Japanese batter which, here, is infused with a zest of citrus.
There are three other options: whole fried sea bream (be warned this is unboned); lime mint and wasabi and, lastly, a fish served the "Argentinian style".
The card also contains a veggie dish and a couple of chicken options in case fish is not your thing. All the sauces (and there are some spicy ones!) are homemade and the fish comes with lovely seaweed-salted chips.
The Bia Mara owners take particular pride in using, where possible, only seasonal fish and none of the fish used here has travelled far as it comes from the North Sea (the salmon Norwegian). The business only works with small scale fish operators.
Combined with the magical pairing of Belgian beers like Vedett IPA, you can see why the owners Barry Wallace and Simon Whiteside now believe they've elevated their novel and original concept to a whole new level.
Fish goes particularly well with white wine as well, of course, and you should try the terrific Portuguese white (Quinta dos Termos), fresh and mineral with a note of Kernel fruits.
There's also a "student special" deal costing a mere €6 and also kids portions. In fact, the prices here are very affordable, for example, the classic panko is only €12.
Everything here is very well explained by Lille-born Adrien Labriffe who have lived in Brussels for eight years now and has been the manager at the Place de Londres restaurant since it opened 14 months ago.
He takes the time and trouble to go through the menu, spelling out what each dish comprises and providing lots of useful advice and tips on the food and drink.
This business was launched on the streets of Dublin with one simple idea, to take what can sometimes be a humdrum food - fish and chips – to something quite different.
Don't come here if you are looking for pretension. It's all very informal and relaxed but the fish and chips are terrific.
But, under the expert guidance of Simon and Barry – along with their hard working and pleasant teams at each of the four restaurants – Bia Mara has now established itself as a firm favourite on the Belgian culinary scene.

Who do We Think Really Runs Toronto?
Cuts to Land Transfer Tax Come Up Again at City Hall
December 21st, 2013 by admin
Recently Toronto Life ran a fascinating article on Toronto's 50 Most Influential People (we suggest you peruse it here.) After reading it, we highly agreed with everyone in their Top Ten, but we've broken it down a little further to include who we think should have been the Top Five.
5.) Drake
Drake may have only been getting global success in the hip hop industry for the past few years, but Torontonians have known about him for decades. He just sold his Toronto condo for over $1 million, a steal if you saw the pics; but he's very vocal about his roots being tightly sewed in Toronto. Toronto Life even had him quoted in a recent interview saying that he should be on the payroll for Toronto Tourism because he gives the city so much promotion. We're inclined to agree, which is why we think he's one of the city's most influential.
4.) Jim Flaherty
Anyone that can be so intricately intertwined with Toronto, but have such a huge impact across the nation needs to be on any most influential list. He's made big promises saying that the Conservative government is going to eliminate the deficit by 2015, but it looks like they just might do it. Even if the fulfillment of that promise came by making some very controversial moves.
3.) Kathleen Wynne
Not everyone agrees with Kathleen Wynne's post as the Premiere of Ontario, but she's made some very big moves ever since taking office. She got the teachers back to work, has committed to the Scarborough subway expansion, and has also replaced former OLGC head Paul Godfrey with Philip Olsson. She's also got the love of Torontonians behind her for the most part, but those in the suburbs might make it difficult for her to get voted in for another term.
2.) Gord Nixon, RBC
We can still remember the days when RBC was just this little start-up institution trying to compete among the big names out there. They've not only made a name for themselves in their own right, but Royal Bank of Canada has become one of the biggest banking players you'll find around the globe. Nixon is one of the people that's responsible for making that happen, and headed the move for Dell to buy back its stock and become a private company.
1.) Bill Blair
We couldn't agree more with Toronto Life's number one pick. The Chief of Police, Bill Blair, has been making Toronto a better city for years, but it was the Rob Ford scandal that really made him a household name. And, it's also what proved him to be, in just about everyone's mind, the most influential person in Toronto.

Free MIT Press Webinar: Building an Ebook Site with Tizra
By Abe Dane October 19, 2009
Exploiting Tizra's iPhone compatibility is one topic on the webinar agenda.When MIT Press launched CISnet just over a year ago, they were trying something radical: Creating a custom ebook site without investing in custom software and without expensive content conversion. The result was in the words of revered computer science professor Hal Abelson, "a treasure." Now MIT Press has very kindly agreed to share some of what they've learned from their experience developing CISnet on the Tizra platform, and some of their ideas for future expansion.Join MIT Press Editorial Director Gita Manaktala, and Digital Publishing Manager Jake Furbush for a free webinar…Tuesday, October 27 at 3pm EDTSpace is limited.

Faster than Google!
By Abe Dane July 23, 2009
Don't get us wrong. We love Google, as anyone who remembers what web search used to be like in the days of AltaVista, Excite and even the World Wide Web Worm has to do. But there are certain things even Google doesn't do particularly well, particularly taking users to the relevant part of a long document...without long downloads and repeat searches.Here's a quick video showing how Tizra solves this problem (among many others), based on actual experience we had looking up our trademark on the official US Patent and Trademark Office site.Note: Click the little TV icon above to see it big!
Tizra gets faster
By David G. Durand April 13, 2009
Non-technical summary: things are lots faster at Tizra sites and admin tools. There's certainly more to do, but we've got more tricks up our sleeves! Because the big current speed boost is related to one cause, and it took me a while to track down, the geek appendage to this post describes what we found and how we fixed it.Geekly detailsI spent a bunch of time last week looking at system performance. As we've been adding customers and usage, we were beginning to feel the pinch. Performance always varies, but the range of response times was getting wider as things slowed, leading me to think that there might be some systemic issues that would give us a quick improvement (and indeed there was some Linux tuning that helped a bit). But data access seemed to be the real issue, so I spent a bunch of time looking into hibernate, and our caching and querying, and then wound up spending a day or so basically watching all the queries go through Postgres. And you know what? most of …

Q: on_presence_stanza callback for XMPP directed presence in JAXL I have coded an XMPP client in PHP using JAXL (along the lines of the included echobot example). The client also implements XEP-0045 (MUC) and I can join groupchats without issue. The problem is that the registered callback for presence messages only appears to get called for presence messages inside the groupchats, e.g. whenever another user enters or leaves. I would like to send my client directed presence stanzas as well (outside the chat room). As coded below, these do not fire the callback.
$client->add_cb('on_presence_stanza', function($stanza) {
    global $client, $room_full_jid, $room_full_jid2;
    _info("got on_presence_stanza....");
    //.....
});

How do I need to register the callback in order to get the client to respond to directed presence as well?

IBM has bought OpenStack-based private cloud vendor Blue Box for an undisclosed sum.
According to a statement from Big Blue, the acquisition will accelerate its open cloud strategy. It will make it easier for client companies to move to data and applications across clouds and develop hybrid cloud environments, IBM maintains.
For Blue Box's founder and CTO, Jesse Proudman, the deal will "turbo-charge" Blue Box's cloud strategy by helping IBM integrate its cloud-based applications into a managed cloud.
And they won't be just any clouds. They will be OpenStack clouds, which IBM has already built heavily on in the past through its SoftLayer unit.
OpenStack is a free and open-source cloud computing software platform. Users primarily deploy it as an infrastructure as a service (IaaS) solution.
IBM claims Blue Box-based businesses will be able to rapidly integrate their cloud-based applications and on-premises systems into OpenStack-based managed clouds. Further, it said, the deal allows it to offer a remotely managed OpenStack private cloud solution.
Offering managed infrastructure services in hybrid environments and across it digital platform Bluemix.
This acquisition will enable IBM to deliver a public cloud-like experience within the client's own data center, relieving organizations of the burden of traditional private cloud deployments.
Blue Box was founded in 2003 and has been building steadily over the years, attracting considerable interest from investors who have invested $26.6 million over the years, the last in late 2014.
Proudman said the company was built on a vision of cloud technology that is easy to deploy and consume, something that has become increasingly important as more businesses start moving to hybrid clouds.
Citing the 2015 RightScale State of the Cloud Survey, Proudman noted that 97 percent of organizations are trying to develop cloud strategies and that 55 percent of those are seeking to do so using a hybrid cloud design.
There couldn't be a better time to be building a solution for these customers, Proudman wrote in a blog post about the acquisition.
However, IBM is not the only one on the acquisition trail. Cisco also announced an OpenStack acquisition last night. Hilton Romanski, head of business development at Cisco, announced the company is buying Piston Cloud Computing.
Piston is just the latest step in Cisco's strategy of building what it describes as the Intercloud — a globally connected network of clouds.
"The acquisition of Piston will complement our Intercloud strategy by bringing additional operational experience on the underlying infrastructure that powers Cisco OpenStack Private Cloud. Additionally, Piston's deep knowledge of distributed systems and automated deployment will help further enhance our delivery capabilities for customers and partners," Romanski wrote in a blog post.
In respect of both acquisitions, Dave Bartoletti, principal analyst at Forrester, told CMSWire that the acquisitions are further evidence of consolidation in the OpenStack space.
He pointed out that with BlueBox, IBM gets a couple of hundred customers and a team that knows how to support hosted private clouds based on OpenStack.
With Piston, Cisco gets a bare-metal private cloud platform to expand its offering for hosted private clouds alongside MetaCloud. But they are not alone.
"EMC just expanded its hosted private footprint with VirtuStream. All of these buys expand each vendor's OpenStack expertise - that's the real value, not net new customers, and adds some private cloud IP to build out a range of hosted and on-premises private cloud services," he said.
With the interest that is currently being shown in hybrid cloud computing in particular, it seems that there is a more play in this space yet.
