Nursery staff to be forced to report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists
Nursery school employees will have a duty to report young children who are at-risk of becoming terrorists under proposed new legislation
By BEN TUFFT
Nursery staff will be forced to report toddlers at risk of becoming terrorists under plans drawn up by the Home Office.
It is part of the department's consultation over ways to enhance its anti-terrorism strategy, Prevent.
Critics have dismissed the proposals as being unnecessarily draconian and turning staff, who are meant to be caring for youngsters, into spies.
The consultation document on the Prevent Strategy states: "Senior management and governors are expected to assess the risk of pupils being drawn into terrorism, including support for the extremist ideas that are part of terrorist ideology."
It continues, staff are expected to "identify children at risk of being drawn into terrorism" and "challenge extremist ideas which can be used to legitimise terrorism".
The Home Office said it would not expect the hypothetical situation of a young child being taught that non-Muslims are wicked to be ignored. Equally, anti-Semitic comments made in front of nursery workers should be reported, the department added.
But opponents of the plans are unsure how they will work in practice.
"It is hard to see how this can be implemented. It is unworkable. I have to say I cannot understand what they [nursery staff] are expected to do," Davis Davis, the Conservative MP and former shadow home secretary, told the Telegraph.
"Are they supposed to report some toddler who comes in praising a preacher deemed to be extreme?
"I don't think so. It is heavy-handed," he added.
Childcare providers are just one of the sectors that will be affected by the new rules. Schools, colleges, universities, prisons and hospitals will all be subject to the stringent rules "to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism".
The plans are in a document submitted with the Government's Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill, which is going through Parliament.
A Government spokesperson told The Independent: "Schools, including nurseries, have a duty of care to their pupils and staff. The new duty in the Counter-Terrorism and Security Bill, to have due regard to the need to prevent people from being drawn into terrorism will be seen in a similar way to their existing safeguarding responsibilities.
"We are not expecting teachers and nursery workers to carry out unnecessary intrusion into family life but we do expect them to take action when they observe behaviour of concern. It is important that children are taught fundamental British values in an age-appropriate way."

Scottish primary school homework sheets that call Palestinians 'terrorists' pulled by council
Children's coursework which refers to Palestinians as "terrorists" has been withdrawn by a council after it received angry complaints.
Eleven-year-olds at a primary school in Motherwell, Scotland, have been issued worksheets that state: "Palestinians feel they have the RIGHT to use terrorism against Israelis."
It then asks the pupils – in classes equivalent to Year 6 level – to "describe two examples of Palestinian terrorist activities."
Aliyah Shafiq, from Motherwell, posted the image of the homework sheet on Facebook yesterday and wrote: "How is my little sister being made to answer questions like this for her homework?
"This is completely unacceptable and has to be complained about to North Lanarkshire Council."
She added: "Guys can I just make it clear that although the homework was given to New Stevenston Primary P7 pupils, the actual sheet is from the council and NOT the school or any teacher directly."
An additional 'explanatory' sheet given to the children says: "Palestinians who live in Israel believe that it is THEIR land which is being occupied by the Israelis.
"Wars between Israel and Palestinians over this always ended in their defeat and so they have turned to terrorist methods for over 30 years."
The image posted on social media caused many to ring or message the council to complain about the sheets, which the local authority claims were part of an "obsolete" teaching pack.
The coursework "does not pass any judgement on the subject," it added.
Palestine and Israel have been locked in a dispute over territory for more than 66 years and the most recent war ended in August after 50 days.
At least 2,100 Palestinian people living in the densely-populated Gaza Strip including around 500 children, and 72 Israelis of which most were soldiers, had died during the war last year.
Dr Essam Hijjawi, chair of the Association of Palestinian Communities in Scotland, said: "It is unbelievable that they are giving 11-year-old pupils information asserting that our struggle for freedom is pure terrorism."
"We ask that all materials used in schools relating to the teaching of the history of Palestine is discussed between Education Scotland and the Palestinian community," he added, according to Common Space.
A spokesman for North Lanarkshire Council's Learning and Leisure Services said: "The homework material used was taken from a teaching pack which is now obsolete. We are contacting all schools to ensure this particular material is no longer used.
"The description of Palestinian people is entirely inappropriate and apologise unreservedly for the offence caused."

Police stop and search nearly 300 toddlers in five years
Police have used stop and search powers on nearly 300 children under the age of five in the space of just five years, it has been reported.
Freedom of information requests made by The Sunday Times show the powers, which allow police to stop and search anyone they believe are carrying illegal drugs, weapons, stolen property or something which could be used to commit a crime, had been used on 182 children aged under five in London alone.
The police stressed that in nearly all cases recorded of toddlers being targeted under the powers they believed the children had been "exploited by an adult," where the child had been persuaded to hide items on behalf of an adult, and that these children should be treated as vulnerable, rather than as criminals.
The controversial orders have been long been criticised amid claims the powers are routinely abused. In 2013 a quarter of all stop and searches were deemed to be unlawful, while in 2010 almost 17,000 drug searches were carried out on people under the age of 15.
Greater Manchester Police had the second highest rate of stop and search use against under-fives, with 45 cases recorded, the paper reported.
In total, 610 children under the age of 10 – and below the age of criminality - were searched under the powers across the country's police forces.
Scotland Yard told the Sunday Times: "The searching of children under 10 represents an extremely small percentage of the Metropolitan police service's total stop and search activity: 0.02 per cent in 2013 – 2014.
"In many cases, the young person has been exploited by an adult and persuaded to carry or conceal items on their behalf. In such cases the child would be considered to be vulnerable and in need of protection rather than dealt with under the criminal code."
The Independent.

I think this step is Good. Because drug mafia use the can use children's for this purpose. May under age child's are not involved.

A three-year-old child from London is one of hundreds of young people in the capital who have been tipped as potential future radicals and extremists.
As reported by the Evening Standard, 1,069 people have been put in the government's anti-extremism 'Channel' process, the de-radicalisation programme at the heart of the Government's 'Prevent' strategy.
The three-year-old in the programme is from the borough of Tower Hamlets, and was a member of a family group that had been showing suspect behaviour.

Eight-year-old boy questioned after teachers mistake t-shirt slogan for Isis propaganda
SUNDAY, JULY 31, 2016 6:06 PM GMT
An eight-year-old boy has been questioned by Prevent officers after his teachers mistook his T-shirt slogan for Isis propaganda, a report has claimed.
The unnamed boy wore a T-shirt with the words with the words "I want to be like Abu Bakr al-Siddique" - a key early Muslim leader in the first years after the death of Prophet Mohamed who is regarded as one of the founding fathers of Sunni Islam.
But teachers at his East London primary school mistook the slogan for praise of the self-styled Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi - the leader of Isis in Syria and Iraq.
The boy's mother said she had been contacted by a social services representative in February 2016 who said they wished to discuss the incident with the boy and she recalled the word "deradicalisation" being used.
At the interview, his parents said they were kept out of the room as the boy was asked questions about Isis - which he did not know anything about.
The child later said he had also been asked about his religious beliefs such as whether he believed Christians go to hell when they die and what he liked to watch on TV.
The mother said she had been told by social services that they had recorded a "form of caution" against him but she did not know whether this was a formal caution and how it would affect him in the future.
At eight, the boy is below the age of criminal responsibility.
Prevent is the Home Office's anti-extremism programme which aims to target young people in particular who are at risk of radicalisation.
The incident was one of several highlighted in a report by human rights charity, Rights Watch UK, as evidence of Muslim pupils being made to feel unwelcome at school due to the Prevent strategy.
Other incidents included a 16-year-old student with learning difficulties who was referred to Prevent after borrowing a book about terrorism from the school library and a 17-year-old boy who was questioned by police officers after being referred to the programme for expressing support for Palestinian nationhood.
The director of the charity, Yasmine Ahmed, said: "It is completely unacceptable that the Government is collecting, retaining and potentially sharing information on children in the United Kingdom without their consent and with no apparent regulation and oversight, particularly in instances where these children are not even accused or suspected of engaging in unlawful activity.
"It is time for the UK Government to acknowledge that the Prevent strategy is infringing the human rights of children across the United Kingdom and is counterproductive."
She said the boy in question had been suffering from "stress related health problems" and was reluctant to go to school since the incident.
Ms Ahmed said their report showed the "complete lack of consideration" of the impact of the Prevent strategy on children.
She said there was "no acknowledgment the strategy may impact children's human rights, particularly their rights to freedom of expression, education and freedom of religion" and called for it to be abolished.
A Home Office spokesperson said: "Schools should be a safe place where young people can discuss any issue and develop the knowledge to see extremist ideologies for what they are and challenge them. The Prevent duty is about safeguarding children from extremist ideologies, not about shutting down that debate — to suggest otherwise is just wrong.
"Our recent teachers' omnibus survey shows the impact of that with 83 per cent of school leaders confident in how they should implement the Prevent duty. We have also published a range of advice and resource materials via our Educate Against Hate website."

Boy reportedly still reluctant to attend school after the incident
Prevent gives people permission to hate Muslims – it has no place in schools
Fahid Qurashi
The National Union of Teachers has recently backed a motion to reject the government's counter-radicalisation Prevent strategy at its annual conference. This motion follows the National Union of Students (NUS) motion to boycott the Prevent strategy and its subsequent activism under the banner of "students not suspects".
Teachers back motion calling for Prevent strategy to be scrapped
The Union claims that the Prevent strategy is targeting Muslim students, and indeed, the available referral data disclosed under freedom of information shows that between 2007 and 2010 67% of the referrals involved Muslims, and between 2012 and 2013, that figure was 57.4%. This is despite the fact that, according to the 2011 national census, Muslims made up only 5% of the national population.

White House claims five-year-old boy detained in US airport for hours 'could have posed a security threat'
The White House has said a five-year-old boy was detained for more than four hours and reportedly handcuffed at an airport because he posed a "security risk".
The boy, reportedly a US citizen with an Iranian mother, was one of more than 100 people detained following President Donald Trump's immigration order.
In a press briefing, Mr Trump's press secretary Sean Spicer was unrepentant about the incident.
He said: "To assume that just because of someone's age and gender that they don't pose a threat would be misguided and wrong."
Footage shows the boy's mother waiting anxiously at Dulles International airport in Washington DC before being reunited with her son, who was reportedly flown into the airport with another family member.
She then sang "happy birthday" to the little boy in English as she hugged him and covered him with kisses as onlookers cheered.
The mother declined to speak with reporters, but Senator Chris Van Hollen said the little boy was a US citizen who lives with his mother in Maryland.
Mr Van Hollen, a Democrat, said it was "outrageous" that the boy had been held for so long and that his mother had given the airport advance notice of his arrival.

Police hold children at gunpoint in Muslim house raid
(VIDEO & SOURCE)
Shocking footage has emerged showing police raiding a house in Birmingham and pointing machine guns at handcuffed children as young as 15.
The mobile phone footage shows armed officers storming the property on Pretoria Road before leading the youngsters out and forcing them to lie face down on the floor.
One of the children can be seen barefoot while some were still in their pyjamas when they were forced out of the house, according to one witness.

Police refuse to apologise to mum whose children were led from home at GUNPOINT by armed cops
Armed police stormed an address on a weapons tip-off which proved to be false which a woman said had "destroyed" her family
Police have refused to apologise to a mum whose four children were marched from their home and ordered to the ground at gunpoint.
Dramatic footage captured the moment armed officers swooped on an address in Bordesley Green, Birmingham after a weapons tip-off.
A distraught mum was held in a police van while her children, aged 15, 16, 18, and 21, were ordered to lie in the road at gunpoint, Birmingham Mail reports.
But West Midlands Police revealed it had acted after a tip-off which they said was made 'with good intent' - but it later turned out to have no substance.
A West Midlands spokeswoman said: "During the deployment of firearms officers - following a report that a man was seen entering a house with guns – a fence was damaged. We will work with the homeowner to rectify this.
"The matter has not been referred to the IPCC.
"Police will not be issuing a formal apology."
The mum told how the incident had "destroyed me and my family" believing the call to police was "malicious."
She said: "It was terrifying. One of my children was trying to ring me but they wouldn't let me speak to them.
"They were absolutely petrified and hadn't got a clue what was going on. To think they were led into the road like criminals breaks my heart.
"They are in shock at the moment and are receiving support from our wider family.
"The police broke the fence at the bottom of my garden, left my home a mess and haven't even had the decency to apologise."
The mum said she would be visiting a solicitor to discuss the incident. She added: "This whole experience has devastated me and I will be seeing a solicitor to see where I can take this."

These Muslim kids are only in elementary school - and in the classroom, they're called terrorists.
Since President Donald Trump was elected, civil rights groups have noticed an uptick in schoolchildren quoting the president's own words to bully their peers.
Forty-two percent of Muslim families reported their children had experiences with anti-Muslim bullying, according to a 2017 study from the Institute for Social Policy and Understanding. One in four of these reported incidents came from teachers or other school officials.
Mic interviewed four Muslim schoolchildren in New York to hear about their experiences in the classroom: Moheeb, 11, Shahrazad, 8, Enan, 10, and Saif, 11. These Muslim kids don't know much about Trump other than the fact he's the president of the United States and wants to ban Muslims. This doesn't bode well for Shahrazad and her family in war-torn Yemen.
"I have family in Yemen," Shahrazad said. "[They] can't come if Donald Trump makes another ban. When I pray, I ask God to help America and Yemen."

Trump and members of his administration have often stated that "Islam hates us" and that Muslims have a "predisposition" to terrorism. In turn, hate crimes and Islamophobic speech has exponentially increased since Trump began his presidential campaign.
Islamophobia also spiked immediately after the Sept. 11 attacks. But these children have no recollection of the tragedy that unfolded in 2001. They weren't even born yet.
Enan and Shahrazad, for example, don't think of 9/11 other than a date that comes between Sept. 10 and Sept. 12. "I don't know what 9/11 is," Enan said.
But despite not knowing who Osama bin Laden was or having any relations to al-Qaeda, they are still suffering from the anti-Muslim backlash that erupted about 15 years ago.
Moheeb is fed up with the bullying from his classmates and the lack of response from his educators. He recounted when two of his classmates, on different occasions, called him a terrorist. In one incident, Moheeb said he told two of his principals and that they didn't really take any action.
In another incident, Moheeb said he told his teacher that a female classmate called him a terrorist. The teacher then talked to the female classmate, who is of Puerto Rican descent and who Moheeb said he mistakenly called "Mexican," about the name-calling. Then, according to Moheeb, the teacher only sent him to the principal's office.
Now, Moheeb said, he ignores the bullying.
"I feel mad, because I don't think [students and teachers] understand how I feel," Moheeb said. "I sometimes ignore [the bullying]. If I cry about it, they'll do [it] more."

Brief Security Alert At Dublin Airport Over
Murder Trial
The parents of a 14-day-old Georgia baby were found guilty on Tuesday in connection with the little girl's death. Caliyah McNabb suffered horrific injuries after her father beat her in the head and hid her tiny body in the woods, around 900 feet from her home.
"She was a little angel," District Attorney Layla Zon said during her closing arguments inside a Newton County courtroom Tuesday afternoon. "She was a gift to Cortney Bell and Christopher McNabb."
Christopher McNabb, the baby's father, was sentenced to life in prison without the possibility of parole on charges of malice murder, aggravated assault, and other related charges. Cortney Bell, the baby's mother, was sentenced to 30 years in prison, with the possibility of parole in 15 years, on charges of second-degree murder, child deprivation, and child cruelty.
McNabb grew angry after the guilty verdict, which only took the jury around an hour to decide. Judge John Ott ordered him out of the courtroom. When he returned for sentencing, McNabb claimed he was innocent and planned to appeal.
"The whole thing was a set-up," McNabb hissed, clearly upset with the verdict. "I was beat as a child and I don't agree with this at all. I don't agree with this at all. I would never do this."
Ott asked McNabb what type of sentence he would give the person responsible for Caliyah's death. McNabb replied that the guilty party should be thrown "under the jail." With that, Ott sentenced McNabb to life without parole.
Bell shed tears during sentencing as she also claimed innocence. Ott told Bell that she allowed a "rattlesnake into her home" by putting McNabb before her children and allowing violence and drugs into her children's lives.
"You chose meth and McNabb over a baby," Ott said. "Like most criminals, you have a version of what a good mama is that is so far from the norm."
Baby Caliyah's Short Life
As CrimeOnline previously reported, in October 2017, the Newton County Medical Examiner's Office reported that Caliyah died from blunt force trauma to the head. The injuries were gruesome. The infant was beaten in so badly that her baby teeth, which had not yet developed, stuck out through her gums.
The baby also suffered a blow so severe to her head that her skull was "seriously disfigured and damaged beyond repair." McNabb caused the injuries, then in a panic, wrapped the baby in a blanket and one of his t-shirts, and put her into a Nike drawstring bag. He then took Caliyah into the woods behind his trailer home in Covington and buried her in a depressed area under a log.
It's unclear exactly what caused the horrific beating, but according to testimony by Bell's cousin, Gerald Weatherford, both Bell and McNabb smoked meth with him on October 7, 2017, the night before Caliyah disappeared.
"Cortney Bell was too busy smoking methamphetamine to protect her child," Assistant District Attorney Alex Stone said.
During testimony last week, Bell's cousin, Megan Sorrells, said Bell was being abused at home during the time Caliyah vanished. She also testified that McNabb and Bell were constantly fighting. Sorrells said Bell never told her about the abuse, but as a domestic abuse victim herself, she could already tell.
"She always had bruises on her," Sorrells said of Bell. "I didn't really have to ask many questions. I could tell."
Court testimony also indicated that little Caliyah wasn't around her parents much in the mere 14 days she was alive. After spending four days in the hospital after birth, McNabb and Bell passed the baby off to family members multiple times. Caliyah stayed several days with her grandfather, Tim Bell.
Tim testified that he returned the child home with milk and clean diapers in early October, and told his daughter, Bell, to clean up her filthy trailer home. The following day, Caliyah was dead.
Although Bell wasn't accused of physically harming the baby, by allowing Caliyah to live in a dangerous environment while doing nothing to protect her, makes her culpable of murder. Ott explained to Bell that her second-degree murder charge meant that irrespective of malice, while she was in the commission of neglecting her baby, she helped caused her death.
Zon added that Caliyah's best days were the days she stayed in the hospital after birth, and that the baby was "doomed" as soon as she was taken home.
"That child was doomed the moment they left that hospital. They took pure innocence and brought that child into a life of hell."

Actress Felicity Huffman Pleads Guilty In College Admissions Scheme
BOSTON (AP) — "Desperate Housewives" star Felicity Huffman has pleaded guilty to participating in the college admissions cheating scheme.
The 56-year-old actress entered the plea Monday to a charge of conspiracy to commit mail fraud and honest services mail fraud.
Huffman stood with her hands clasped in front of her and responded, "Yes, your honor," when asked whether she understood the charges. Her brother watched from the front row. Her husband, actor William H. Macy, didn't attend.
Sentencing is set for Sept. 13. Prosecutors said they would recommend four months in prison.
She was arrested in March along with dozens of other prominent parents, athletic coaches and others implicated in the scandal. She was charged with paying $15,000 to have a proctor boost her older daughter's SAT score.
She has apologized and says she will accept the consequences.
'Anna Delvey,' Fake Heiress Who Swindled N.Y.'s Elite, Is Sentenced to 4 to 12 Years in Prison
Anna Sorokin, who pretended to be a German heiress, bilked Manhattan hotels, banks and a private jet operator.
Anna Sorokin, the fake German heiress who swindled her way into Manhattan's elite party circles, was sentenced on Thursday to four to 12 years in prison for bilking hotels, banks and a private jet operator out of hundreds of thousands of dollars.
The sentencing capped a case of a young grifter who spun her tale with brazen flair. Ms. Sorokin wore designer clothes, lived in boutique hotels, dined in expensive restaurants and lured investors for a $40 million private club — all without a penny to her name.
She has been held on Rikers Island since October 2017. Ms. Sorokin, 28, was convicted last month of most of the charges against her.
Her lawyer, Todd Spodek, said during that trial that Ms. Sorokin was simply an enterprising business-minded woman eager to make it in the big city.
But jurors agreed with prosecutors that her gilt-edged life was an elaborate ruse financed by lies.
In addition to the prison sentence, Ms. Sorokin was fined $24,000 and ordered to pay restitution of about $199,000.
"I apologize for the mistakes I made," she said at the sentencing.
Ms. Sorokin stiffed hotels, persuaded a bank employee to give her a $100,000 line of credit, swayed a private jet company to let her fly on credit, and tried to secure a $25 million loan from a hedge fund. In all, she stole about $213,000 worth of money and services.
Still, the jury found her not guilty of the most serious offense — faking records in an attempt to obtain a $22 million loan. She was also acquitted of stealing from a friend who said Ms. Sorokin duped her into covering the cost of a $60,000 vacation to Morocco.
To many friends, there was every reason to believe that Ms. Sorokin was a wealthy German heiress named Anna Delvey with so much money that she frequently doled out $100 tips and flew on a private jet to Berkshire Hathaway's annual investment conference.
But Kaegan Mays-Williams, a prosecutor, said during the trial that Ms. Sorokin's only goal was to "put herself in the best position to take money" from the wealthy so that she could "live the fantasy of an extravagant lifestyle."
Mr. Spodek said people believed what they wanted about Ms. Sorokin. She was enabled, he said, by a system "seduced by glamour and glitz." She intended to pay back her creditors, he said.
"Through her sheer ingenuity, she created the life that she wanted for herself," he said. "Anna was not content with being a spectator, but wanted to be a participant."

It's a new year and that means it's time to take note of the new financial realities and tax laws that apply to freelancers. Among them: Individual health insurance marketplaces on the state and federal level are continuing to enroll self-employed people for 2014 coverage under the Affordable Care Act; taxes are increasing on the wealthiest Americans; and the IRS has introduced a simplified method for calculating the home-office tax deduction.
Along with getting up to speed on new rules and regs, this is also a good time for freelancers to do some goal-setting for 2014 and start saving for quarterly income tax payments. Think of them as professional New Year's resolutions.
Many freelancers who qualify for this deduction because they use a portion of their homes or apartments exclusively as their main place of business, have nevertheless been reluctant to claim it. That's because it is quite complex, requiring a separate form (Form 8829) that includes a calculation of the square footage of the home office space and what percentage it represents of the total square footage of the home or apartment. The deduction is then based on that percentage.
The new, simplified home-office deduction allows the taxpayer to deduct $5 for each square foot of home office space, up to a maximum of 300 square feet. That means there's an annual $1,500 maximum home-office deduction for those who choose to use this calculation, which is optional. The deduction is entered on the taxpayer's Schedule C, which all freelancers file along with their 1040 returns.
For freelancers who live in high-rent cities, such as New York, Los Angeles or San Francisco, the simplified deduction may not make economic sense, however. Check with your tax preparer and if it's more beneficial, you can still use Form 8829 to claim your home office deduction.
If you are self-employed and do not have health insurance, you have until March 31 to sign up for an individual policy on an ACA marketplace – either run by your state or by the federal government if your state has opted out of the process. If you don't secure insurance before that date, either on a so-called Obamacare exchange or through a broker, you could face a penalty when you file your 2014 tax return because you were uninsured this year. The charge for 2014 is the higher of two amounts: 1 percent of your yearly household income, or $95 per person. The penalty is capped at $285 per uninsured family.
It's too late to get insurance for all of 2014, but even if you get insurance for part of the year, your penalty will be prorated. The amount of the penalty goes up quickly after this year. If you expect a tax refund in 2015, when you file your 2014 return, the IRS will subtract that penalty from your refund. Or, if you're not entitled to a refund in a year, you'll get a tax bill for the penalty. This new requirement stems from Obamacare's controversial "individual mandate" that was the subject of a bitter political clash but was ultimately approved by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2012.
For freelancers fortunate enough to have taxable income over $200,000 as individuals or $250,000 if they're married couples filing jointly, here's the downside: You'll find some new taxes kicking in for your 2013 tax return. The most notable is a Medicare surtax, which pays for health coverage for older Americans. It will add 3.8 percent onto your tax liability this year.
Income tax brackets will be widened this year. That means you may be able to earn a little more in 2014 without being bumped up into a higher tax bracket. The personal exemption for tax purposes was also increased slightly for 2014, going from $3,900 to $3,950. If you have an IRA, you can contribute $5,500 to it this year. The 2014 contribution limit for a SEP IRA, which is often used by the self-employed, is the lower of $52,000 or 25 percent of your earned income for this year.
If you have a 401(k) pension, you can put up to $17,500 into it in 2014. If you don't have a retirement plan, establish one this year. Making contributions to a retirement plan is a great idea, not only so you'll have funds to live on when you retire, but also because the contributions directly reduce your taxable income in the year you make them. Contributions for health savings accounts in 2014 top out at $3,300.
Look at your income for 2013 and set some goals for 2014. With an improving economy, will you be able to bring in 10 percent more income this year? Are you struggling and hope just to equal your 2013 income? Setting income goals for the year now and coming up with some simple things you can do to meet them can help a lot.
For instance, can you bring in one new freelance gig a month, or one every other month? Can you win half a dozen new clients this year for your freelance business? Be realistic but aim high – then don't beat yourself up a year from now if you don't reach every goal. Just having challenges in place will improve your business prospects for 2014.
Freelancers must pay self-employment tax to fund their Social Security and Medicare benefits. Unlike employees, who share the cost of those benefits with their employers, the self-employed must pay the full cost of this tax. If you have more than a minimum amount of self-employment income, you must estimate your self-employment tax throughout the year and pay it on a quarterly basis, using IRS Form 1040-ES. The amount of tax you will owe in 2014 will be based on your 2013 self-employment income.
The first payment is usually due on April 15, which can mean you're in for a double-whammy if you also have tax liability for 2013. Start saving now for your quarterly payments. Additional payments are due in June, September and January 2014; if you don't make the payments on time, you could be hit with penalties and interest – as well as major tax liability in April 2015.

Visiting Denmark (+Copenhagen City Guide)
Denmark, along with Northern Europe, has become an increasingly popular destination for many already familiar with the continent (a record number of tourists this year). From architecture to design (hello Hygge), it's a great time to visit this Scandinavian gem.
Denmark – Scandinavian country comprising the Jutland Peninsula and numerous islands, linked to nearby Sweden via the Öresund bridge. Copenhagen, its capital, is home to royal palaces, colorful Nyhavn harbor, plus the Tivoli amusement park and the iconic "Little Mermaid" statue, whereas Odense is writer Hans Christian Andersen's hometown, with a medieval core of cobbled streets and half-timbered houses. It's no wonder tourism is up year after year, which according to Wonderful Copenhagen, is due to its architecture, design, sustainability, diversity, and the city's likeness to a "modern fairy tale" as the reasons for visitors to stay. Though its also been growing in status as a culinary destination, with Noma regarded as the best restaurant in the world for its revival of Nordic cuisine.
Denmark's capital isn't an easy place to characterize, but Copenhagen has plenty to offer anyone who makes the trek – known for its excellent taste in everything from architecture, furniture design, décor, fashion, and food. In recent years Copenhagen has seen a surge in bars, restaurants, shops and fashion designers insisting on a less formal, lighthearted way of doing things. The city's stunning architectural beauty is a key component, from the royal castles to the pretty canals and characteristic brick buildings, as well as its rich cultural heritage. The first thing you'll notice are the prim houses lining tidy cobblestoned streets and canals, and the kitschy Tivoli Gardens that form the city's centerpiece. But beyond these postcard-perfect moments, Copenhagen is an ambitious city with much to explore. First, there's the design: sleek Scandinavian functionalism, and then there's the food: some of Europe's most creative chefs are turning Nordic cuisine on its head in surprisingly delicious ways. Finally, there are the neighborhoods. Central Copenhagen has plenty of charms (historic buildings and pedestrian shopping zones), and its peripheries, filled with style-conscious Danes and their local haunts, are also worth a detour.
Do: Copenhagen Boat Rent, Islands Brygge Harbour Bath, Christiania, Kastrup Søbad, Kødbyen Gallery District, Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek, The Circle Bridge, The tower of Christiansborg Palace
Stay: 71 Nyhavn Hotel, Andersen Hotel, CENTRAL HOTEL & CAFÉ, Helenekilde Badehotel, Hotel SP34, Nimb, STAY Copenhagen, Urban House
Eat: The dining scene has become so strong that the choices are abundant – check out the Travel + Leisure restaurant guide for the city. Or in your dreams, NOMA:
While it's become a popular design term, I have been told by many Danes that most people miss the point in the pursuit of making it trendy. Hygge (pronounced hue-guh not hoo-gah) is a Danish word used when acknowledging a feeling or moment, whether alone or with friends, at home or out, ordinary or extraordinary as cosy, charming or special.

Immigrants run 18 percent of small firms
NEW YORK, June 15 (UPI) -- Almost one-fifth of U.S. small business owners are immigrants, a Fiscal Policy Institute study found.
The Institute's Immigration Research Initiative said immigrants make up 13 percent of the U.S. population, 16 percent of the labor force and 18 percent of small business owners.
The study released Friday found "a big change from the picture 20 years ago."
In 1992, immigrants made up 12 percent of small business owners and just 9 percent of the workforce.
In a subsection of small business owners, those with under 100 employees, more than half of the business owners are immigrants.
That group employs 4.7 million people and takes in revenues of $776 billion per year.
"I don't think immigrants are 'super-entrepreneurs,' but I do see that immigrants are playing an important and growing role across the American landscape," said David Dyssegaard Kallick, director of the Fiscal Policy Institute's Immigration Research Initiative and author of the report.
Immigrants are major contributors to high-tech industries, making up 20 percent of the business owners who run computer system design companies.
In general, however, immigrants are "more likely to be found on Main Street than in a technology park," the study found.
Restaurants, grocery stores and laundry businesses are overrepresented by immigrant entrepreneurs, who make up 37 percent, 49 percent and 54 percent of the owners of those three businesses, respectively.

On the way to happy reunions in Hungary for Paul, Richard and Rosie with their nine pets, couriers J and M drove through Italy, Slovenia and Croatia.
Tarts and pies in Slovenia. How does one keep trim when treats like this are on offer?!
We arrived to find a happy household of expectant pet owners — the human family had travelled the day before and had everything ready for the dogs and cats. The dogs have never lived with a garden before, so there was lots of rushing about and exploring to do.
We then turned around and headed back to Croatia, to meet our next passengers at a dog shelter just outside Dubrovnik.
In Croatia we saw lots of orange and clementine trees. We stopped at one of the many roadside stalls and came away with far more goods than intended, thanks to a charming and effective saleswoman!
Another sign near Dubrovnik — presumably a warning about road hogs!
We've experienced many holdups on our journeys — strikes, ferry cancellations, bad weather — but never a car on fire before. We were less than a mile from the dog shelter and near the top of a mountain.
Fortunately the fire service turned up fast to deal with it. Fortunately too it was raining, so the fire didn't spread to the nearby trees.
Wow, scary experience with a car fire. Glad everyone was safe.
One of the more dramatic hold ups but luckily all sorted quickly.
Wow. That's quite a car fire. Happy you made it through everything.
Yup, it lit up the sky.
Don't leave us hanging! Did you get to the shelter?!
Always great to see happy pets and people.
The tarts were had by couriers J&M! There was drama with the fire but luckily no disaster.
I smiled at your road sign but was horrified by the burning car.
We'd much prefer to meet road hogs.
The tarts look wonderful and that fruit stall looks very inviting.
Bailey sure looks happy! I hope they all settle in quickly.
We love road food! They're settling in very nicely.
wonderful, caring for the pets!
But luckily nothing else caught fire too.
Meow meow Hungary is so-o far away…LadyMew showed mee on a map…..yore Coureerss are wunder full peepill to chawfurr efurryone to such xotick placess! An thee clemmytiness look so yummy!
Miss Rosie iss lovelee too!
An THE car on fire was scary! LadyMew told mee shee NEVURR saw this happen on yore bloggee either!
We're travelling to new places at the moment which is fun for the couriers.
WOW……..that burning car is scary indeed but thankfully the rain and quick fire brigade kept it from spreading – hope nobody was hurt! As for the reunions – they all look VERY happy indeed. That "road hog" sign is hilarious but we do know that there are a lot of wild boar around in many parts of Europe!!!

The Simnel cake is a light fruit cake with marzipan baked in the middle of the cake and used as decoration on top. It often has 11 round balls on top referring to the 11 true Apostles.
The essence of this light fruit festive cake is the quality of the marzipan. Use divine home made marzipan proudly. Make this a day or so in advance, wrap and store refrigerated until required. For the Simnel cake I prefer a simple recipe using some egg yolks to bind the marzipan for colour and keeping it all together seeing as the marzipan is baked into the cake.
Proper marzipan could make this cake very expensive too as a lot of almonds are required. I hate saying this but shop bought Persipan can also be used if you have to.
Make sure the almonds are really finely ground. The finer the smoother the marzipan.
In a food processor pulse the ground almonds, castor sugar and icing sugar together. Add the yolks to bind and flavour with almond essence to taste.
Add more icing sugar if necessary to get the marzipan to rolling consistency. This is where I start playing…adding a bit more icing sugar sometimes to have a smoother paste, sometimes adding some glucose too and so on and so on.
Use no less than 300g to shape the first disc to be baked into the Simnel cake.
The rest will be used for the top disc and 11 balls.
When rolling the marzipan, use icing sugar to dust the work surface.
Prepare a 20cm cake tin by lining the bottom with baking paper. You can also line the sides but I find this unnecessary. The cake will bake longer than normal. Best to protect the sides of the cake tin with a wrap of corrugated card board. I also have a foil lid on stand by just in case. This I use during the latter part of baking if I think the top of the cake is browning a little too much. I must admit, usually for the latter hour of baking as my cake often bakes for 2hrs.
Measure and sift all the dry ingredients 4 times.
Make sure the butter is nice and soft. Soften it more if you have to in the microwave for a few seconds. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy using your creaming paddle attachment or as I prefer, the whisk attachment.
By the 3rd egg addition your mixture will start splitting. Add the almond flour and continue beating. Then add the last egg. Continue whisking for anther minute or two.
Add the lemon zest and juice and don't worry too much about the mixture splitting at this point.
Fold the sifted dry ingredients into the butter and egg mixture. Don't over mix. An excellent tip is to keep about 25g of the flour mix aside to sprinkle over the fruit. Mix this into the fruit mix very lightly before folding the fruit into the cake batter.
Have your 1cm thick cut disc of marzipan ready. Spoon half of the cake mixture into the prepared tin. Place the marzipan disc on top and smooth out any air bubbles lightly. Spoon the rest of the cake mixture on top.
Bake on the thermofan setting on your Lofra oven. Pre-heat the oven to 160*C. Baking time is rather long at 1hr 30minutes. Assess if the cake is baked through. Don't be misled by molten marzipan. In this case a skewer inserted in the centre of the cake will not reveal the whole truth and nothing but the truth. You will have to trust your instincts here. If in doubt, return the cake to the oven, cover the top if needed with the foil lid and bake for another 15 minutes. Repeat if necessary.
Allow the cake to cool in the tin before removing it to cool completely on a wire rack. I like to give the cake some cooling down therapy with an extra 50ml of good brandy to soften the outside crust a little. Wrap in cling foil overnight. Perhaps a useful thought: this is a light fruit cake and does not require maturing time but what harm can time do to a fruit cake? I think some curing time with regular splashes of good brandy could but only improve this cake.
Roll 11 marzipan balls. Best way to ensure that they are all more or less the same size is to roll about 125g of marzipan into a thickish sausage. Cut into 11 portions and roll.
Roll all the remaining marzipan on a well dusted surface into a round disc of 20cm in diameter and 1cm thick more or less.
Wet the top of the cake with either simple syrup or warmed smooth apricot jam – just enough for the marzipan disc to stick.
Cover the top with the marzipan disc. Smooth the top and ease the edges in to get a perfect fit. I went one step further and crimped the outside edges to finish the cake off all vintage like. Decorate the top of the cake with the 11 marzipan balls. Dust well with icing.
Brûlée the top and decorate with festive ribbons and other Easter or bunny like paraphernalia if you have.

This book brings a critique to the theology of the ordained ministry in contemporary Catholicism, a theology that fosters clericalism. It challenges a theology that views the ordained as "set apart" for a particular work over and against the laity. This book brings critique to current practices, including lifelong commitment to the ordained ministry, the requirement of celibacy for the ordained, and the exclusion of women from the ordained ministry.
The author examines history, reclaiming elements that have been distorted or forgotten, and asks, "What is retrievable in the tradition that is freeing and redeeming for a renewed theology?" The critique of the traditional theology and current practices in the ordained ministry and the retrieval of relevant elements of the tradition is a springboard for reconstructing a theology of the ordained ministry.
The model of the Trinity is suggested as an image for the ordained ministry itself and through its relational nature, the ministry of the whole church. The model of the Trinity sets the ordained ministry in its rightful context of the Christian community, where all of the gifts of the baptized are valued and where ministry is collaborative, non-hierarchical, and mutually enriching for the people of God.
"Call No One on Earth Your Father offers a timely contribution when the church is reeling from scandal and searching for a way forward. Josephine Armour reimagines that way which is theologically sound, faithful, honest, and open."
Josephine Armour is an adjunct lecturer in ecclesiology at St Barnabas College, Adelaide, South Australia.

In what may be considered a surprise decision, a federal judge ruled that online television streaming service, FilmOn X, may be treated as a cable company by allowing it the same compulsory copyright licenses that broadcast companies receive.
FilmOn offers content from cable companies like Fox, NBC, and the like. FilmOn captures broadcast television signals and transmits them to its users through the internet, enabling them to watch on their web-enabled devises.
Multiple cable companies sued FilmOn based on the premise that because it does not function like a traditional cable company, it should not be permitted to utilize Section 111 of the Copyright Act. This particular section of the Act gives cable companies permission access to broadcast content from broadcast television signals for a fee.
If this case sounds familiar, it should. The decision, which was made on a motion for summary, comes a year after the Supreme Court ruled on a case involving the now-defunct online streaming service, Aereo. In that case, the Supreme Court found Aereo was effectively operating as a cable company, and was therefore infringing on the copyrights of broadcast companies by not paying licensing fees.
District Court Judge George Wu acknowledged the Copyright Office's desire to keep internet streaming companies from utilizing Section 111; however, he reasoned the Office's argument was based on policy and not the law. Wu explained that it was the Court's role to say what the law currently is, and not to detract from it. In the end, Judge Wu reasoned that strong policy arguments for treating FilmOn X differently than traditional cable services is not set forth in the plain language of Section 111.
The court noted its split from the 2nd Circuit, which refused to classify an online streaming service as a "cable company," and certified the ruling for immediate appeal to the 9th Circuit.
Despite this win, an injunction is still in place barring FilmOn X from retransmitting broadcast programming to its users, and a stay has been placed on proceedings pending the plaintiffs' appeal.


When the City of Hico experienced widespread water pressure issues, KSA was engaged to conduct a water distribution system report to pinpoint the problem areas and propose the best methods to improve their distribution system.
Using a hydraulic water model, KSA evaluated the city's water system closely to ultimately recommend replacing water transmission lines in various locations, properly reconfiguring pressure-reducing valves and replacing their ground storage tank. These improvements were funded by the Texas Water Development Board's Drinking Water State Revolving Fund (DWSRF) program. KSA coordinated the submission that secured over $1.5M in loan forgiveness for the $3M improvement project. After the report, KSA was hired to design, procure and oversee the construction of 13,200 linear feet of water line replacement, the construction of a 500,000 gallon ground storage tank and the replacement of automatic meter reading technology (AMR). The water line replacements were primarily along city streets. A directional bore was used to create several deep creek crossings, while a cased bore was used to cross Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) roadways.
Both the water line replacement and the ground storage stank were completed well under the planned budget, so additional waterlines were added to the project. Nine vintage pressure reducing valves were removed from the system and replaced with two, modern main line pressure reducing valves.
Construction was challenging due to the significant amount of limestone encountered at the project site, but the construction team was able to work despite these conditions. The project was completed successfully and the City of Hico now has a more efficient water distribution system for its businesses and residents.

Why Don't Farmers Believe in Climate Change?
And does it really matter whether they do?
By David Biello

This article arises from Future Tense, a collaboration among Arizona State University, the New America Foundation, and Slate. On July 25, Future Tense will be hosting an event on agriculture's role in climate change at the New America Foundation in Washington, D.C. For more information and to RSVP, visit the New America Foundation website.
If it isn't torrential downpours, then it's too dry. If there's one thing U.S. farmers can count on, it's bad weather, and perhaps as a result, many of them don't think humanity is to blame for the long-term shifts in weather patterns known as climate change. But even though agriculture is a major contributor to global warming, it may not matter whether farmers believe in the environmental problem.
Take, as an example of skepticism, Iowa corn farmer Dave Miller, whose day job is as an economist for the Iowa Farm Bureau. As Miller is happy to explain, it's not that farmers in Iowa don't think climate change is happening; it's that they think it's always been happening and therefore is unlikely to have much to do with whatever us humans get up to down at ground level. Or, as the National Farm Bureau's spokesman Mace Thornton puts it: "We're not convinced that the climate change we're seeing is anthropogenic in origin. We don't think the science is there to show that in a convincing way." (Given the basic physics of CO2 capturing heat that have been known for more than a century and the ever-larger amounts of CO2 put into the atmosphere by human activity, it's not clear what "science" he's holding out for.) The numbers back that up: When Iowa State University sociologists polled nearly 5,000 Corn Belt farmers on climate change, 66 percent believed climate change is occurring, but only 41 percent believed humans bore any part of the blame for global warming.
It's not just the Corn Belt: Farmers across the country remain skeptical about climate change. When asked about it, they tell me about Mount Pinatubo and weird weather in the 1980s, when many of today's most established farmers were getting their starts. But mostly I hear about cycles in the weather, like the El Niño–La Niña cycle that drives big changes in North American weather. Maybe it's because farmers are uniquely exposed to bad weather, whether too hot or too cold. Almost any type of weather hurts some crop; the cereals want more rain, but the sweet potatoes like it hot and dry.
Year-to-year variability in the weather dwarfs any impact from a long-term shift in the climate. Consider this: A farmer in Iowa might deal with a 10-degree-Fahrenheit shift in average temperatures from year to year, so why worry about a 3- or even 4-degree shift over 100 years? As the old saying goes: If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes and it will change.
The long-term prediction for the Corn Belt in Iowa says that the weather will get hotter and drier—much like western Kansas is currently. Yet, over the decades of Miller's farming career, conditions have been increasingly wet. "If I had done what climate alarmists had said to do, I would have done exactly the wrong thing for 20 of the last 25 years," Miller says.
Miller doesn't speak for all farmers, of course, and there are few less monolithic constituencies. This is a group whose holdings range from a small farm in the Northeast following biodynamic principles to big agricultural outfits that count farmed land in square miles, not acres. A fifth-generation wheat farmer in Oregon, like Kevin McCullough, might say, "I think it's just normal swings in the weather." But an organic farmer in upstate New York who is the first in recent family history to work the land would say, "There is a scientific consensus that there is a change of climate even in light of the fluctuations that naturally occur."
The latter is my brother, Tim Biello, and part of why he got into farming in the first place was to do something hands-on about climate change. He wanted to farm with less fossil fuel and fertilizers by working with horses and to use locally available resources to provide food for his neighbors. But he also sympathizes with his big farming peers: "People who have to work for a living and make hard choices about using this or that feel like they are up against the wall when other people, who maybe are removed from work like farming, say this is good or bad."
Tim is not a random sample, of course. But big farmers certainly aren't skeptical about all science, particularly the kind of science that makes them money by improving yields. "Last year's drought was in many places as deep as it was in 1933, and yet we didn't see too many stories of blowing dirt storms," like in the "dirty '30s," notes former North Dakota farmer Roger Johnson, now head of the National Farmers Union.* Breeding and genetic modification have brought crops resistant to drought and flood, as well as insect pests. Also important are better tilling practices, such as leaving a cover crop or stubble to hold down the soil, which helped the dirt stay in place. Even in the depths of the 2012 droughts, the United States delivered an abundant harvest.
But the biggest change delivered by science to farming in the past century is the one my brother is working to reverse: the advent of fossil-fuel-powered machinery and fertilizer wrested from the air by chemistry. That, along with cutting down forests to make room for farms around the world, makes agriculture the second-largest cause of the greenhouse gas emissions changing the climate. There's methane from massive meat farms and manure lagoons. There's nitrous oxide—yes, the stuff used at the dentist's office—seeping out of the soil thanks to all that nitrogen fertilizer, and it's no laughing matter since N2O is nearly 300 times more powerful as a greenhouse gas than CO2 over a century.
Few would have to change their livelihoods as radically as American farmers if efforts to combat climate change became more serious. Maybe skepticism also flourishes because farmers tend to be more conservative, and denying climate change falls under the same political umbrella as, say, gun ownership. (According to Robert Carlson, who leads the World Farmers Organization, farmers in other countries are more likely to believe in climate change, and many feel they are already facing new weather extremes.)
But even if American farmers don't believe in climate change, there are reasons for them to behave as if they do. The Agriculture Department has begun incorporating climate change into its projections and outreach, such as encouraging no-till practices where applicable. Oregon wheat farmer McCullough is following their advice to reduce tillage, which helps keep the soil from blowing away, like it used to do in his forefathers' time, burying the farmhouse in silt that had to be shoveled out. He can now skip the three or four tilling passes in his tractor in favor of clearing a field with herbicides and then using an air drill that injects the wheat seed and fertilizer together.* "It's more fuel efficient," he says. Plus, the USDA also provides financial and technical assistance to those who adopt the new practices. "It's cheaper to farm that way, and you still get the same type of crop, if not a bit better."
The key to feeding 7 billion people in a post-climate-change world will be diversity of crops, which will help ensure resilience. To take the example of the farm my brother works, a dry year might see a better crop of sweet potatoes while a wet year promotes the growth of cereal crops. Weather is always changeable and unpredictable in the long term, which means a farmer must take good care of the soil so that the soil can take good care of the farmer when the weather turns challenging.
In other words, many American farmers—even those who would question whether climate change is man-made—are already doing exactly what efforts to combat climate change would require: precision agriculture to cut back on fossil fuel use, low or no-till farming, cover crops, biodigesters for animal waste, and the like. The key to reaching farmers is bringing them practices that improve their farms. "If you can help me deal with weather variability," Miller says, "I can probably adapt to climate variability."
"You've got so much to do anyway, trying to figure out rotations and moving animals and crops through and taking good care of your land and making enough money," says my brother. "It's unclear what the point of talking about climate change would be." Or as I would put it: If many farmers are doing the right thing anyway, does it matter why?
Also in Future Tense's July series on agriculture and climate change: Michael Pollan explains the difference between "sun food" and "oil food," and Frederick Kaufman explores the potential of open-source GMOs.
Correction, July 16, 2013: This article originally gave an incorrect first name for the head of the National Farmers Union. He is Roger Johnson, not Robert Johnson. The piece also stated that farmer Kevin McCullough uses a combine for tilling. He uses a tractor.

Q: Confusion regarding the orbital angular momentum of mesons in an excited state I came across the statement that Mesons can have a spin of a whole number (e.g. 1 or 2) instead of the regular 0, as a result of the orbital angular momentum they have in their excited states, with this orbital angular momentum always being a whole number in units of $\hbar$.
But the way I remember the formula for orbital angular momentum, namely $L = \sqrt {l(l+1)}\hbar$, does not deliver whole numbers.
Can somebody clear up the confusion?
Thank you

A: You do not give a link for "came accross" which would give the context.
Here is a table of mesons as determined in experiments, with their quantum numbers.
Here is a similar list where the quark content is displayed.
They are made up of a quark and an antiquark (makeup column in the second link) pair. Quarks and antiquarks have spins , but the interaction between them is the strong interaction which does not lead to orbitals as with electrons around nuclei.( See this to understand the complexity of imaging hadrons in terms of quarks and antiquarks and gluons ).
Angular momentum  conservation allows to see the spin of a meson as zero or one, from the addition of  a quark antiquark pair. For higher spins in the mesons one needs to go to lattice QCD which is fairly successful in modeling strong interactions, here is a talk.

After discussion in comments:
$\ell$ is the quantum number, and integer,  associated with the angular momentum. This is an integer number associated with the  quantization of the angular momentum of a given energy state .
$$L^2 = \ell(\ell+1)\hbar^2$$
So it is the square of the angular momentum that is quantized and $\ell$ is the quantum number characterizing it. It is similar to n, being the principle quantum number characterizing the quantized energy levels.
The simplicity of the relation between $L$ and $\ell$ allows to talk of conservation of angular momentum in terms of adding spin quantum numbers with angular momentum quantum numbers invoking conservation of angular momentum, since the algebraic connection is simple  (something that is not true for the principle quantum number and energy).

A:
the formula for orbital angular momentum, namely $L = \sqrt {l(l+1)}\hbar$

The property encapsulated by this formula is the fact that if $\mathbf J$ is an angular momentum operator, and the system is in a state with well-defined total angular momentum $J^2$, then that value will be
$$
J^2 = j(j+1)\hbar^2
$$
for $j$ a nonnegative integer or a half-integer. When we say that a given system "has spin X", we are referring to the quantum number $j$, not to the value of $J^2$. That use of language is not referring to the eigenvalue of $J^2$ (which is indeed equal to $j(j+1)\hbar^2$ nor to the square root of that eigenvalue, $\sqrt{j(j+1)}\hbar$: the latter generally isn't an integer multiple of $\hbar$, but it is not what we refer to in the usage you're concerned about.

What it's like to sell a car on Bring A Trailer
Joel Feder August 4, 2016 Comment Now!
It's a site that sends out a siren call to many auto enthusiasts.
It's called Bring A Trailer (BaT) and many of us spend too much time looking at it on a daily basis. It's a gearhead's utopia of rare, vintage, and unique vehicles for sale all in one location.
While the site features Craigslist, eBay, and other classified ads its bread and butter is its own auction system, BaT Auctions, which launched in 2014.
Like most of you, I daydream on BaT. I didn't know the reality of buying and selling a car.
That all changed recently when I sold my 1991 BMW M5 via BaT.
One simply doesn't list a car for sale on BaT
BaT isn't Craigslist. You don't just sign up and list a car for sale.
No sir, you submit a candidate for sale.
Peruse BaT—no broken-down jalopies or commuter specials. The site is meticulously curated and is kept clean by a screening process done by real live humans.
Cars are accepted behind these virtual velvet ropes.
Once I decided to take the leap—I cried, I'm not ashamed to say that—the process was simple. Sign up, enter a bunch of pertinent information ranging from mileage, records, and all the other information shoppers want to know when looking to drop cash on a car their significant other might not know about, and click submit.
BaT takes a few days to screen submissions and your approval can take up to three business days, they say. Thanks to a couple of friends in low places—and the legendary E34-ness of my M5—my approval was much quicker than advertised.
ALSO SEE: Things we hate about the cars we love
So you were chosen
After reviewing my submission the team at BaT felt my E34 M5 was worthy to list. (How could they not? It has an S38 under the hood with ITBs. C'mon.)
I paid the listing fee of $250—it's worth noting that's the only money sellers have to pay throughout the entire process—and was assigned a friendly BaT staff member named Chris.
Let's be real, I probably drove Chris nuts with my questions, but throughout the process he answered each and every one.
Let's talk reserve pricing for a second: When you submit a vehicle you are asked if you want a reserve, which I did. When BaT was piecing together my listing, they wanted to talk about my reserve price. Namely, its crackpot-ness. We went back and forth a few times with their suggestions, logic, and mine, and finally agreed to what was a more than fair reserve price.
(For the record, I was right regarding the value, and my original reserve would've been irrelevant. Yes, I'll take my pat on the back now.)
It's worth noting that if a car doesn't hit the reserve price it technically didn't sell, but the highest bidder can connect with the seller to try and work something out. Further, if the final auction price falls just shy of the reserve price BaT reserves the right to make up the difference to complete the transaction.
Once my listing was put together the BaT team asked for my blessing. I gave it to them and we were off—sort of. Listings are staggered to keep from overwhelming the site.
Bring A Trailer auction
The emotional roller coaster
Then it happened: My listing went live. I saw it hit the site, RSS, Facebook, Twitter, and everything else.
I think I vomited.
My thing, my car, and my transitional object was probably leaving me. What have I done? Who sells their baby blanket?
Naturally, I started having second thoughts.
Was this a mistake? Could I pull it from BaT once it was live?
I told myself to shut up and let it be. It worked, for a minute.
Day One saw a flurry of activity. Comments, questions, BaT regulars vetting both the car and I, you name it. Of course, some bids came in as well.
Then it died. Not much happened on Day Two. Day Three was the same. By Day Four of the auction, I started getting nervous. The bidding stalled at $7,000 and I was having panic attacks.
If we are honest, I started having issues far worse when the car first hit the site. I had issues sleeping, focusing on the tasks at hand, my conversations were constantly about me selling the car and whether it was the right thing no matter who I was talking with.
Of course I ended up reaching out to my BaT advisor, Chris, with questions about the bidding and fishing as to whether people ever cancelled auctions. He was frank with knowledge and thoroughly answered my ridiculous questions.
He told me most of the activity occurs during the first and last days. Even more specifically, the auction really heats up during the last hour—or even minutes.
When it came to canceling auctions, he told me it doesn't happen. Once, in 200 auctions, has he seen a car pulled. The reason? Because the seller crashed his daily driver and needed the car that was up for auction as transportation.

Then it ends
At Day Seven, I kept the car listed even though the bid is still at $7,000 and I'm not feeling so hot about this.
Could my wife make a BaT account, bid, and win? That's questionably illegal, and unquestionably immoral. Did I mention how much I love that car? (For the record, I love my wife more for even suggesting it. She's amazing, folks.)
We hit the four-minute mark and things started heating up in the bidding. It jumped to $10,000, quickly.
Half a minute went by, and then a war erupted. Things moved so quickly my BaT email alerts couldn't keep up.
BaT's killer app came into play: the anti-snipe feature. When the clock hits those final two minutes each bid resets the clock back to two minutes. It's impossible for someone to come in at the last second and snipe a vehicle simply by outbidding the last guy with a fast click.
The last two minutes, lasted about 14—though it felt like forever—as the clock kept resetting with each new bid made past the two-minute mark.
Finally, it ended. My car sold, and I think a part of me died at that moment.
An email from BaT came in informing me of the final purchase price (like I didn't know?) and provided the buyer's contact information. I didn't want to call him.
It didn't matter. Within a minute my phone rang with a number I'd never seen before. I knew it was him.
I'll say this: Coincidentally, the buyer is also in the auto industry. The car was bought as his family car because his son is cramped in his E30 M3. It'll live a family life down in California where the air is dry, the roads are clean, and hopefully, it'll remain in the same condition he gets it.
Why would I care? Well because I love the stupid thing, but also because the buyer was kind enough to offer me first right of refusal if he ever ends up selling it.
You can imagine how elated my wife was to hear such a thing.

Las Vegas, July 25, 2009 – A TransUnion survey of more than 870 property managers across the United States revealed that half of the respondents are experiencing more difficulty locating qualified renters as compared to last year. Another 81 percent of respondents are concerned that they will not find reliable residents for the remainder of the year. The survey, which was administered in early June 2009, is being released in conjunction with the National Apartment Association's Education Conference & Exposition in Las Vegas.
While 32 percent of respondents stated that vacancy rates are higher than the same period last year, 48 percent viewed it about the same and 20 percent have experienced lower vacancy. According to the United States Department of Commerce, the national rental vacancy rate at the end of the first quarter of 2008 was 10.1 percent.
As a reference, U.S. Department of Commerce data shows national rental vacancy levels between approximately nine and 10 percent since 2003. During the end of the last recession in 2001, vacancies were 8.8 percent nationally.
When asked if they were seeing an increase in the number of applicants moving to rental units from foreclosed properties, the tally was almost evenly split with 51percent seeing a year-over-year increase. "While one would expect to see a more pronounced increase of applicants coming from foreclosures in this environment, a possible conclusion to draw is that many consumers coming from these circumstances are moving in with family members or friends to share expenses," said Britti.
The importance of filling vacancies also was highlighted when the survey asked respondents to rank business objectives in the order of importance. Increasing occupancy was noted as the most important objective by 25 percent of respondents, followed closely by decreasing bad debt/losses with 24 percent. Another 18 percent of respondents said compliance with Fair Housing and Fair Credit laws was their primary objective.
"Though the survey reveals increased vacancy numbers in 2009, in a sign that the economy could potentially be changing for the better, 36 percent of respondents said they expected fewer vacancies at the same time next year with only 10 percent expecting more vacancies," said Britti.
Thirty-three percent of respondents said having access to income and employment information were the most important factors in screening prospective residents and making a decision.
Approximately 28 percent of respondents said criminal/background checks were the most important consideration factors, followed by looking at credit history (22 percent).
Rental history (10 percent) and personal references (8 percent) also were noted as important practices.
Nearly nine in 10 respondents (87 percent) said identity theft prevention was important to their business.
