So it seemed that authenticity and the natural form of expression wasn't going to be my forte. In fact, what I found that I was good at doing, and what I really enjoyed the most, was the game of "what if?" What if you combined Brecht-Weill musical drama with rhythm and blues? What happens if you transplant the French chanson with the Philly sound? Will Schoenberg lie comfortably with Little Richard? Can you put haggis and snails on the same plate? Well, no, but some of the ideas did work out very well.
So, I learned enough saxophone and guitar and what's euphemistically called "composer's piano" to get my ideas over to proper musicians, as we have here today. And then I went on a crusade, I suppose, to change the kind of information that rock music contained.
From David Bowie's 1999 Berklee Commencement Address
When commencement addresses are good, they're great – ie; David Foster Wallace, Steve Jobs, and David Bowie. When they're just okay, they're terrible – ie; mine. There's many things to love about David Bowie, however, one thing that really comes through in his 1999 speech to the Berklee graduating class is his humanity. He's appreciative of their time, and never takes himself too seriously. In addition to the above passage, the recounts of his time with John Lennon were extra special. I've got to imagine any scene with the two of them together had to be next-level inspirational.
Here's another snippet from the speech:
Towards the end of the 70s, a group of us went off to Hong Kong on a holiday and John was in, sort of, house-husband mode and wanted to show Sean the world. And during one of our expeditions on the back streets a kid comes running up to him and says, "Are you John Lennon?" And he said, "No but I wish I had his money." Which I promptly stole for myself.
[imitating a fan] "Are you David Bowie?"
No, but I wish I had his money.
It's brilliant. It was such a wonderful thing to say. The kid said, "Oh, sorry. Of course you aren't," and ran off. I thought, "This is the most effective device I've heard."
I was back in New York a couple of months later in Soho, downtown, and a voice pipes up in my ear, "Are you David Bowie?" And I said, "No, but I wish I had his money."
"You lying bastard. You wish you had my money." It was John Lennon.

What Is Business Plan?
Questions usually asked by United States artists getting into the licensing trade is if they need to have a enterprise license or a seller permit to have the ability to license their artwork? The enterprise analyst will be capable to see financial bubbles before they occur and take steps to keep away from catastrophe. Growth rate cycles – alternating periods of accelerating and decelerating financial progress – happen within enterprise cycles. For this purpose, the robustness and objectivity of ECRI's analytical framework is important to any informed decision-making process.
However, in your definition, scalable means to have a balanced and 'wholesome' enterprise mannequin enough to develop the startup and makes it growth.(regardless of whether his technique is 'focus' or 'scale'). That could possibly be by offering a better enterprise mannequin — nevertheless it will also be by providing the same business model to a different market.
A business cycle principle that is so dramatically fallacious about the two worst economic downturns of the C20thlast a hundred years-central bank coverage in the wrong way as predicted and economies consequently being shocked off their growth path-just isn't a lot of a enterprise cycle idea. The first is inertia, the place managers are unwilling or unable to vary their learned habits, with the resistance develop into better, if they've long tenure in the enterprise. It's still beneficial, however there simply isn't a enterprise model to assist it… or you haven't discovered it but.
With cyclical and commodity firms, particularly, the place earnings have a tendency to maneuver by means of cycles, a good case might be made that we should be taking a look at earnings over a cycle and never simply the most recent year. A monetary analyst will counsel methods of investing income, sustaining an emergency fund, how one can handle depreciation of kit and provide some insight on tax liability.
I've signed up for freebies before and acquired some samples that way, but I by no means thought of writing a letter to a company and telling them how much I like their product and that I would like some samples of other things. As enterprise analysts, we establish and outline the options that can maximize the value delivered by an organization to its stakeholders.

The following procedure shows you how to use the Create Package Wizard in Mobile Device Manager (MDM) Software Distribution Console to create a new package to distribute software to one or more managed Windows Mobile devices.
|To distribute software packages to managed Windows Mobile devices, you must sign the .cab file and its contents by using certificates. For more information, see Signing CAB Files in Packages.
To create a new package
In the navigation pane, expand Packages, and then select Software Packages.
Right-click the package group and then select Create.
In the Create Package Wizard, choose Next.
On the Software Packagepage, choose Browseto locate the file. Or, in the Filebox, enter the path and name of the file that you want to install.
In the Package titlebox, enter a title and a description of the package in the Package descriptionbox, and then choose Next.
On the Target Devicespage, select the managed device types that should receive the package.
Or, select Allto have all types of managed devices receive the package. Choose Next.
On the Permit Uninstallpage, select Yesif you want users to be able to uninstall the package from their managed devices.

He has set up a Facebook Group named "Locating the Oak Island Inscribed stone", in which the general public can submit leads on the stone's whereabouts.
One clue that seemed to be a dead end was made by Rev. A.T. Kempton in a letter written to Oak Island Treasure Hunter Frederick L. Blair, which he received on April 19, 1949. In this letter Kempton states that he learned that the stone was in the possession of the Historical Society in Halifax, but that he had not been able to find anyone there that knew about the stone. I myself had followed up on this lead to no avail. I read through volumes of Historical Society publications and found nothing about Oak Island in general, let alone about the stone.
It did indeed seem like a dead end. Now over a year later, there is a trail to follow which just opened up!
The lead was found in an old letter, which has been kicking around research circles for years, written by John Hunter-Duvar, of the Historical Society of Nova Scotia, to George Cooke, Oak Island Treasure Hunter back in the 1860's. You see, Cooke had just finished supplying a local newspaper with a three part history of the workings on Oak Island that was published in the waning days of 1863. Hunter-Duvar upon reading the story in the paper, immediately wrote to Cooke asking about the Inscribed 90 Foot Stone. His letter was dated January 2nd 1864, but Cooke was away and did not answer it until January 27th, 1864. This was Cooke's reply.
There is no known record of whether or not John Hunter-Duvar and the Historical Society of Nova Scotia ever got to see the stone, but if it was removed from the fireplace of John Smith's former farmhouse and taken to Halifax and put on display, I can't imagine that they did not get to see it.
The new lead comes from the dates of these letters. Hunter-Duvar dated his letter January 2nd 1864 and Cooke dated his reply January 27, 1864. The clue might not jump out at you until you know that today's Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society wasn't founded until 1878, fourteen years after Hunter-Duvar wrote his letter! This society has been in constant operation until this day. This would have been the Historical Society that Rev. Kempton visited. No wonder he couldn't find anyone who could tell him about the stone.
So if the current society wasn't the society who inquired, then who was?
The answer was found recently in legislative papers of the Province of Nova Scotia.
The founding members of this Historical Society read like a who's who of prominent citizens and political figures of that day. We find past and future Premiers of Nova Scotia, Supreme Court Judges, and even a future Canadian Prime Minister. Beamish Murdock wrote one of the definitive histories of Nova Scotia, and Thomas Beamish Akin almost single-handedly created the Public Archives that we know today. These men were all about preserving the history of Nova Scotia. If they were interested enough to inquire about the 90 Foot Stone, then they were indeed curious. Is it possible that they did indeed acquire the stone, and Kempton's information about a Historical Society having the stone was correct? Perhaps the stone yet resides in a private collection started by one of these gentlemen. All of the sudden we have multiple paths to follow up on. Let's see where they lead.
Goodnight from The Blockhouse!

Have you checked the legislative history to see if the name of the society was simply amended in 1878 from Historical Society of Nova Scotia to Royal Nova Scotia Historical Society? Perhaps a status change occurred at that time, from "...a body corporate" to a registered charity, or something similar, and they changed the name at the same time. Nonetheless, the older records do seem to be gone, or as I guess you are suggesting, may have ended up in private hands. In that regard, Duvar is clearly the name to chase.
1/19/2019 09:22:54 am
Yeah I guess they could Peter. You are really smart

text: I have windows vista ultimate and am suffering from the effects of WGA, namely the fact that my desktop resets itself to black every hour on the hour. Short of forking out $300 for a new copy, I need a way to trick windows into thinking that the picture I want for a background is the color black. I could also get a program that resets my desktop background to the desired picture every hour, so that I won't even notice that windows resets it to black. I am running sp1, so WGA has changed from a system killer to a supper annoying nagger, giving you a nag screen at start up and resetting the desktop background to black every hour. If you have the steps to carry out any of my solutions above, or a new one, PLEEEEEEEEASE post a reply!

From Garner, NC
I bought this for my 1974 Ford Ranchero thinking it would be an easy swap because it LOOKS identical in form to the OEM. Well...that's what I get for thinking.First, it doesn't come with the clips as shown, and I think that's pretty cheesy for [$]. After installation my left turn signal wouldn't work correctly. Worse yet I discovered that my brake lights didn't work at all.I thought I might have screwed the pooch on the install and went back in to recheck. Nothing I did could get the thing to work right so I bought a NOS Sheemar unit on ebay that was manufactured back in the day (which, by the way included two c-clips) for less than half the price and swapped them out. Now all works perfectly.It's possible that I just got a defective unit so I will be interested to see if anyone else that has installed one of these had any of the same issues.I do want to give a shout out to my local AA Store for letting me return it even though I was outside the return period. It's one of the reasons I am a long time customer.

Bharati Hemant Lavekar is a politician and a member of the Bhartiya Janata Party, who is the brain behind India's first digital sanitary pad bank.
Samyak Sheth
Bharati Lavekar is a term member of the Maharashtra Legislative Assembly. Lavekar was representing the Versova constituency and won from there. It is the motto of Lavekar's life to always fight for the rights of women and children.
Lavekar is born and brought up in Maharashtra, finishing her Bachelor of Journalism from the Marathwada University. After this ,she achieved MA in Political Science, along with a PhD in Uniform Civil Code.
Lavekar has been in politics since 25 years, but her ways, notions, spirit is of an activist. She owns an NGO and the only focus of the NGO is the rights of women and children.
Bharati has helped the people of Shirur Kasar Taluka in the Beed district of Maharashtra, comprising of nearly 120 villages that had a very bad sex ratio of 669 girls to every 1000 boys.
Lavekar orchestrated a scheme that every girl child born after 15th August 2011, would have Rs 5000 deposited in her account. This scheme changed the face of the village resulting in a much better sex ration of 921 girls for every 1000 boys.
While reading upon the social taboos, Lavekar got to know that more than half of the country cannot afford sanitary pads. There are more than 27% deaths due to the cervical cancer, which happens when during the time of menstruation there is usage of unhygienic materials to soak the menstrual blood. So how do we solve this?
Lavekar's solution was the best one, as she only wanted to open a Digital Sanitary Pad Bank, which was launched on May 28th 2017. It was inaugurated by first lady of Maharashtra Amruta Fadnavis and beautiful veteran actress, Zeenat Aman.
This bank acts a middle way between the donors and the beneficiaries, the operators of the banks directly supply the pads to those girls who cannot afford it. The money can be donated through Paytm or money even through a bank transfer. Lavekar's mission till now has distributed over 2 Lakh pads.
Lavekar has utilised the funds of the Vidhan Sabha for the installation of Sanitary Pad Vending Machines at schools and public toilets. Till now five schools from Versova have adopted the policy of installing the vending machine.
The initiative promotes menstrual hygiene and increases availability of sanitary pads for the underprivileged. There is also the facility of an automatic sanitary pad vending machine, disposal machine and menstrual health kit. The kit contains painkillers, fresh underwear and guidelines on how to take care of yourself during menstruation.
Lavekar is coming up with another agenda that there should be sanitary pads available at the public toilets.
For an instance at the time travelling at night it is difficult for a female to go searching for a chemist so this will be out soon. She has got the backing of the current Finance Minister of the State Sudhir Mungantiwar.
Lavekar says that, she has stressed on this issue for so long because since ancient times, females have been stayed away from discussing this issue with anyone. She has requested everyone to celebrate and welcome the birth of a girl child in the family. Lavekar personally visits the family at their house or invites them over to her office to congratulate them and always gifts them a small present.
There is another commendable initiative that Lavekar has taken up where she has set up medical camps along with gynaecologists, as the females in our country do not seek specialised help whenever they come across a problem which is related to the reproductive system.

Being a mother is so fantastic. I adore our children! I think we could have done OK raising a couple more. I was sad when I was told that our family was complete.
But every once in a while someone comes by and says, "I need to get out of here a tiny bit early so I can go to the Blue & Gold Banquet."
Those are the moments when I thank HEAVEN that we are past that.
Did you know we are in our last year of middle school?

Weekly Columns
Weekly Column of U.S. Senator Lamar Alexander for the week of January 27, 2008
"We Are Ready to Work in Washington"
Posted on January 25, 2008
We must change the way Washington does business by going to work on the big issues facing our country. This week, as part of my new position as chairman of the Senate Republican Conference, I hosted a day-long retreat at the Library of Congress where 44 Republican senators discussed a variety of issues, including terrorism, economic stimulus proposals, affordable healthcare, and maintaining America's global economic competitiveness. The discussions that took place at that day-long meeting proved to me that Republican senators are ready to roll up there sleeves and go to work. There is no excuse for us to take the year off when so many important things remain to be done here. So this year you are going to be seeing a steady stream of Republican senators with specific solutions that either are bipartisan or ought to be bipartisan, and we believe that is what the American people expect of us. Republican Senators are ready to help, working with our colleagues, to give the Senate an opportunity to vote for real change and to construct principled solutions for the problems facing our country. We are here to do good things for our country, and there is plenty to do. We see what is happening in the housing market, with oil prices, with rising health care costs. We know that we need to move quickly with a bipartisan approach to help get the economy back on track. Our preference is to let businesses and people keep and spend more of their own money to boost economic growth. We want to grow the economy, not the government. Other important areas we need to focus on include: • Ensuring that every American has health insurance, starting with small business health insurance plans which would allow small business owners to band together to purchase health insurance for their employees. • Reforming the tax code so Americans can afford to buy private insurance. • Keeping America's brainpower advantage so we stop good paying jobs from going overseas. • Improving healthcare for rural patients – including expectant mothers who must drive long-distances to receive care – by stopping runaway lawsuits that require doctors to pay exorbitant malpractice fees. There is plenty of work to do. Thirty years ago, I began my service as the Governor of Tennessee. I was a young Republican Governor and Tennessee was largely Democratic. The media asked Democratic speaker of the house, Ned McWherter, and said: "Mr. Speaker, what are you going to do with this new young Republican Governor?" And to their surprise, the speaker said: "I am going to help him. Because if he succeeds, our state succeeds." Now, we are not naive about politics in Tennessee. We had, and have, our fights and argued about our principles. But we kept our eye on the ball and got some incredible results by working together. I would like nothing more than to move that kind of cooperation from Tennessee to DC. I sense that from many senators. Of course, we will argue. We were elected because we have differences. This is a debating society. But we don't stop with our disagreements, we should finish with our results. I look forward to a constructive year of helping our country move ahead with a steady stream of specific solutions to big problems that get results because they either are bipartisan or because they should be bipartisan. ###

I began the teshuva process slightly over ten years ago. B"H, I had the fortune to attend a wonderful yeshiva that emphasized, amongst other things, always being a kiddush H-shem. Now that I have been out of yeshiva for a number of years and have lived in frum kehilos around the world, I have had the chance to implement this teaching in practice. Frum kehilos are, I think, amazingly special places with incredible people and institutions. Nevertheless, there are always challenges (especially in chutz l'aretz) – not speaking in shul during davening, not speaking devarim betaylim in shul, keeping a learning seder kovayah, being involved in tsarchey tsibor, making a kesher with a rav, being socially involved, etc.
My current community presents a new challenge. It is a special place, that places a great emphasis on socializing. Kiddush after davening on Shabbos lasts for an hour and lunch after that for the rest of Shabbos in the winter and until 500 pm (or even later) in the summer. Weekday activities are much along the same lines — very heavy on socializing. As much as we love to socialize, we are starting to wonder what is the appropriate balance of activities.
Does anyone out there feel that his/her frumkeit is in danger of too much socializing? Please don't get me wrong . . . I love being with people and socializing. But that is the problem – it is so tempting to sit, schmooze and socialize that other things, such as family time, learning, tsarchey tsibor, etc., can be compromised.
I truly believe that friends are of paramount importance, but I never thought we would be overwhelmed by too many socializing opportunities. Now we are suddenly thrust into this situation and we like it alot, but we're trying to find the balance. Does anybody else have any thoughts about this issues?
Kol tuv.

Sewing machines are basically units of machines that help to make various kinds of embroidery, patchwork, quilting and other materials. Before the arrival of the sewing machines, we would have needed to sew the various pieces of fabric together manually to obtain the design we wanted. While in earlier days the use of the fabric was more than the sewing machines, the advent of the sewing machines has brought about a revolution in the world of home decoration. Know more at this website now.
Sewing machines have aided the use of fabrics and have helped to improve the time required for making clothing and other accessories. The use of the sewing machines has considerably reduced the time taken for stitching various designs. With the advent of the machines, the use of different embroidery techniques has increased.
There are many embroidery designs that are not possible to be made using the use of the human hands. This is because they require precision and exact placement of stitches. The use of the machines has therefore made it possible to create such designs with much ease.
There are many types of machines available in the market. These machines come with different features that vary from one another. While some of these machines use the motor as their source of power, others require the use of electricity for heating up the material needed for stitching. They can also be powered by gas or oil.
They are composed of the main parts such as the blade, needle, string, rod and the machine. Some of the machines are powered by gas, while others are powered by electricity. The major parts used in the sewing machines are as follows.
Sewing machine blade – One of the main parts used in the sewing machines. It includes the cutting mechanism, needle mechanism, backing material and ball, and more.
Needle – This is the most important part of the sewing machine. It comprises the tip used to snip off threads of fabric used for stitching. It also acts as the 'pivot' used to position the needle from place to place. Along with the needles, there are several types of these machines.
Thread – The backing material on which the needle will be held during stitching. It also helps to provide a firm grip to the fabric. The thread in the stitch is also known as the bobbin thread.
Ball – This is the part that is used to push the material through the needle. It also provides the balance needed to keep the needle pointed. There are a number of types of sewing machines, all of which differ from each other in terms of design and functionality.
While there are many types of the sewing machines available in the market, the basic design varies from each other. Some of the machines may have other features added to them that enhance the use of the machine.
There are several types of sewing machines available in the market that suit the needs of various people. If you are looking for something that can cater to your needs then you should look into what options are available to you.
You can browse through the various options available on the internet, and on the various sewing machines in the market, and look at different websites online to get a better idea of what is available for sale. Many different websites have many different designs and models of the sewing machines that you can choose from.

Twins Offseason Grade Saved by Rain
Instead of giving just a singular grade to the work as a whole, let's break things down individually:
Backup Catcher- Alex Avila replaces Jason Castro
In 2019 Mitch Garver emerged as one of the game's best. He took massive steps forward behind the dish and was unquestionably the best with the bat. Needing a new battery mate, the decision was made to move on from Castro. Alex Avila posted a .775 OPS and was exactly average by OPS+ standards last year. He is an adequate defender and is just two years removed from a career season with the divisional for Tigers. This wasn't flashy by any means, but it's a fair swap by all measures.
Grade C
Corner Infielder- Josh Donaldson replaces C.J. Cron
With Cron being non-tendered by Minnesota, it was time to decide if first or third base was the position being addressed. Once the pitching market shifted, the Twins best opportunity for impact came from one of the best players to hit the open market. Josh Donaldson significantly elevates the infield defense, Miguel Sano could arguably be better suited for first base, and Rocco Baldelli will now write out a lineup card that features the best nine in baseball. Donaldson is a star, and the richest Twins' free agent deal in history was more than well deserved. This one was as much a bomba as those he'll hit this year at Target Field.
Grade A+
Starting Pitcher- Jake Odorizzi and Michael Pineda retained. Homer Bailey and Rich Hill replace Kyle Gibson and Martin Perez
These moves received plenty of consternation in the scope of the offseason as a whole, but viewed individually, they seem pretty great. Odorizzi was arguably Minnesota's best pitcher last season, and Pineda was lights out down the stretch. Getting that duo back at what equates to less than market value is a good deal.
Grade B
Bailey isn't a sexy name, but neither was Kyle Gibson. The longtime Reds ace posted a 4.57 ERA last year but had a 3.65 FIP with Oakland in his final 73.1 IP. As a third or fourth starter with an assist from Wes Johnson, I think you could do a lot worse.
Grade C-
Arguably the biggest win here is in the form of a guy who could definitely be considered "impact." Despite a 15-year major league pitching career, Rich Hill has accumulated only 937 innings while making 156 starts. The bad is that he's a 40-year-old with an extensive injury history. The good news though, is essentially everything else. Hill hasn't seen a dip in his stuff, he mows down opposing hitters, and he's got 12 postseason starts under his belt. The 4.10 FIP last year is reason for pause, but if he can go back to limiting the long ball, he'll be great down the stretch.
Grade B+
Relief Pitching- Sergio Romo retained. Tyler Clippard replaced Sam Dyson.
At the trade deadline Minnesota made a swap with the Miami Marlins for the veteran righty. Now a slider specialist, Romo was having a plenty fine year for the fish. After producing to the tune of a 3.35 FIP and 10.7 K/9 in 22.2 IP, his presence in the clubhouse was one that made sense to welcome back. He gets a slight bump in pay with a team option for 2022. He'll be 39, but he still looks the part of a guy that can contribute high-leverage innings.
Grade C+
Coming over from a division rival in Cleveland, Clippard had his best year since 2014. The 2.90 ERA is sparkly, and the 3.89 FIP suggests it's at least somewhat for real. He can rack up strikeouts, limits hits, and actually saw a slight decrease in the long ball a year ago. Sam Dyson was supposed to be a bit better based on his Giants numbers, but that blew up and his shoulder is done. Clippard provides plenty of reason to believe in a similar or better level of success.
Grade C
Minnesota needed pitching this offseason, and while they didn't get the top-of-the-rotation arm, they did take steps forward. On top of that, the team found a way to improve an already lethal lineup and adding further run support is another avenue to success. Minnesota looked pretty dead in the water up until the Donaldson signing, even if it was enough to hold serve in the division. That should be a reminder that situations are consistently fluid, and the front office is actively trying to get better. They are soon closing the door on an opportunity to spend dollars, but they remain incredibly rich in prospect capital.
Before the leaves fall and October baseball begins, the Twins have more work to do. Not only is there a need to win games and position themselves for postseason baseball, they'll need a reinforcement or two in order to stack up. The top-tier pitcher is what holds the grade back, but it's hard to be anything less than pleased by the overall result.
Grade B+

Because roaches thrive outside all over Gilbert AZ… Making Pest Control for Roaches in Gilbert AZ a part of life!
Roaches {& other pests} love our warm temperatures in Gilbert AZ, and moisture provided by watering systems or Monsoon season. The majority of Roaches in Gilbert are American, Oriental, and Turkestan Roaches.
(Not to be confused with German Roaches which INFEST inside homes especially in kitchens & bathrooms.) These desert roaches are commonly referred to as "water bugs" or "sewer roaches"… I'm sure you can imagine why! They're 1-2 inches long as adults, American Roaches getting a bit larger than Turkestan or Orientals. Although they have wings, Turkestan and Oriental roaches don't fly. The slightly larger American Cockroaches DO fly.

In part one about taxes I took the time to discuss my views on taxes; Which ones were constitutional in my view and which ones were not. And I am writing this one simultaneously. What is right and what needs to be the way forward are two different discussions in my opinion. So I wanted to keep them separate from one another. That thread for discussion of what taxes are constitutional and this one for what might be a better way to incorporate taxes in the government as I would attempt to run it today. So here goes…
The fix…. well there sure isn't an easy one is there? Let's start with the two biggest alternatives that are out there in the public domain right now: The fair tax and the flat tax. Amazingly, I talk to lots of folks who don't know the difference between the two. So I will give the very quick synopsis and my thoughts on each one"
Fair Tax
The fair tax is a proposed replacement to the federal income tax that would be done primarily through retail sales. The fair tax would not eliminate the sales tax you already pay. It is in addition to the sales tax. So if you pay $100 for an item with 5% sales tax for a total of $105, then the fair tax would be a percentage of the entire $105. The "Fair Tax Act" has been formally proposed by John Linder (R, GA) in the House and Saxby Chambliss (R, GA) in the Senate. Under the Fair Tax Act, the rate would be 23% of that $105, payable by you at time of purchase. It basically comes out to you paying roughly 30% sales tax if you looked at it that way.
Under the Act proposed, those families below the poverty level would receive a monthly payment as a type of "pre-bate". The proposal would eliminate federal income taxes, estate taxes, payroll taxes, and gift taxes. Because this would be a consumption tax, there is no dodging it. No tiers for amount of income would exist. Basically you can control how much federal tax you pay by controlling how much you spend.
This would seem to be the closest to what BF could accept. I know he wouldn't accept any tax, but at least this one gives him the legal right to choose not to purchase something as opposed to the government just outright stealing it from every paycheck for no other reason but because they live the Obama mantra "Yes We Can". This tax would lower the burden on the wealthy as a lower percentage of their income is spent regularly, meaning they would be contributing a lower percentage of their income. The middle class might be the victims in this proposal, as they tend to spend more than the poor and that spent income is a higher percentage of gross than the wealthy.
This would alleviate the concerns of illegal aliens paying income taxes, as they would be paying the consumption tax when they purchase goods like anyone else. The proposal on the table would eliminate the IRS, a giant money hole that is ineffective (or extremely effective at keeping us confused and scared, depends on your point of view). The fair tax would be paid on all consumption, including health care, investments, and tuition. I see pros and cons to this idea, but we will save it for the discussions.
Flat Tax
The flat tax is a much more basic concept. The flat tax would keep income tax in place and replace the current progressive tax rate with a flat, across the board rate, regardless of income level. This proposal has stalled a bit in recent years. It would do the fair thing of taxing everyone equally. It would also vastly improve the simplicity of the current tax codes if done correctly.
The tough part of the flat tax would be figuring out how it would affect other taxes and tax breaks. Eliminating the progressive income tax means that the rich would not be paying as much as they did previously, and the poor would be probably paying a bit more. That is a downside. The flat tax as proposed would close a lot of loopholes that corporations and the wealthy take advantage of.
So those are the two big ones. My proposal is a little different and simplified since I am also not a tax attorney or one of the great minds of economics. I would probably say that the place to begin is the passage of a new amendment to the Constitution. This amendment would eliminate the 16th amendment which calls for income taxes. That is a start, because then government is not arbitrarily taking our money and then operating with free (and corrupt) reign.
I would then say that if there are taxes that America as a whole believes are necessary, that they come in the form of specific bills that directly related to the prupose of the bill. We want government to do the roads, then we establish a road tax. Want to build a new power grid, then we have a power grid tax. See this way every new tax implemented has to be done on its own bill and debated before Congress.
The big thing for me is that I get all the arguments for the earmarks that we see today. But the Polynesian Nautical Society, if America decides to fund it should be debated alone on the floor I propose that Congress cannot pass a bill that does not stand on it's own. Government can make up any tax that they think the people want. But the bill would be passed on its merits, not tucked neatly in the 8 page stimulus bill.
I know that there are a lot of questions as to how this would impact other aspects of government. I have heard the cries of those who believe that this would cripple Congress's ability ot function. It would be too many bills, with too much debate, etc. But I also believe that the system I outlined would force Congress to spend money more wisely and would eliminate the ability to tuck some new tax thing in the fine print of the giant spending bills we are seeing today.
So there are my ideas so far. I look forward to everyone's thoughts on these matters. I don't have everything figured out in my head quite yet. So pick these ideas apart, especially mine. This is where we are debating what we can do to fix a broken tax system.

Gates Targets Schools: Bill Gates and Melinda French Gates plan to broaden their commitment to K-12 education, after having recently combined their two philanthropies into the nation's wealthiest foundation.
Last month, Mr. Gates, the chairman and chief executive officer of the Microsoft Corp., announced the consolidation of the philanthropies to create the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. Based in Seattle, the new foundation has assets of more than $17.1 billion, said Trevor Neilson, a foundation spokesman. The foundation eclipsed the Indianapolis, Ind.-based Lilly Endowment Inc., which was previously the nation's richest philanthropy with assets of $15.7 billion at the end of fiscal year 1998.
The new foundation will focus on teacher training and professional development, along with crafting plans for educational improvement in the Pacific Northwest which can be duplicated across the country, said Tom Vander Ark, the executive director of the Gates Education Initiative.
According to a federal law mandating that private foundations spend a minimum of 5 percent of their assets each year to keep their tax-exempt status, the new Gates Foundation will have to give away $2.3 million each day.
"We are first going to focus on the state of Washington, and we hope to scale it up nationally," Mr. Vander Ark said. "We've conducted 200 interviews with educators and business leaders around the nation and found that leadership development is key, that development for teachers is critical."
In the past, Mr. and Mrs. Gates have focused their education philanthropy on technology and training teachers and students in how to use it. The now-defunct Gates Learning Foundation was started in 1997 as the Gates Library Foundation in an effort to bridge the so-called digital divide between rich and poor communities.
The foundation provided computers and Internet access to libraries serving low-income communities. It awarded more than $22 million to 1,300 libraries in 28 states during 1998 and provided teachers and other school staff members with computer training.
Separately, the William H. Gates Foundation--consolidated with the Gates Learning Foundation into the new philanthropy--provided support for education, global health, and community projects in the Pacific Northwest. The foundation gave $133 million to organizations concerned with global health, $122 million to education, $42 million to community projects, and $60 million to special projects last year.

Today my kid went through the written test for Meridian for PP2.
I am looking for some feedback on this school, please let me know .
I visited the Banjara Hills campus and found it was okay. They had kids playing cricket, basket ball, foot ball all in one place. That was funny. They had separate volley ball court and Table tennis place which I liked.
Academic wise the feedback is good. The kids all seemed to be happy and chirpy. I saw lot of activities within the school like singing, recitations, etc.
The one feedback on Meridian is they are money hungry. 1-2 years back there was a lot of rackus on the fee hike with parents protesting. Not sure if the school management reverted the fee hike or could justify the hike. With the new Govt regulations on admission and fees, I am not sure how this fits in.
Thanks Ravi for the feeback, on the money front I also felt the same. The fee hike from pp2 and 1st class is itself 6k. One other advantage is home pickup and drop facility.
Regarding the place, I also had similar observation during my both visits. For volley ball and skating they were playing seperately and had a coach for skating but other wise the cetral play area is hosted for all other games.
We moved from US last Jun. We were also looking for the same kind of features in a school as you are looking for. We also felt if we were asking for too
much. But as a parent we want to give the best to our kids.
We also surveyed the international schools around Jubilee Hills and kondapur area. We visited most of the prominent schools like Oakridge, Chirec, Sancta
Maria. We also visited Manthan International school in Madhapur area. We found it to be comparatively very good after we took the school tour for all the
schools in that area and also speaking to our friends whose kids go to Chirec and Oakridge. We found Oakridge only money oriented. In the visit we made to
get a tour of the school and how well the school is good for my kids, all they were interested in sharing was the timeline to deposite what sum of money in
the form of dollars and what sum of money needs to be deposited in the form of Indian Rupees etc. It was very disappointing to see that the staff was just
interested in discussing money before even speaking about the USP of school and why they think we should consider Oakridge for our kids. One of my friends
told that their child is studying in Oakridge and it has been very stressful for the child as the school has constantly been pressurising the parent and the
child with respect to cursive skills and also catching up with the subjects. We did not want our kids to go thru a stressful transition so we eliminated
oakridge from our list instantly. We visited Chirec. The tour as such went well. We requested to meet the principal and we were made to wait for more than an
hour and after almost 1.5 hr we got to meet the principal. We had several queries to be clarified. In the time we were waiting we found a big group of male
labourers hanging around the play area. Being a parent of a girl child and a natural kind of thought came as to the safety measures the school has adapted
towards the girls students. The principal got very touchy and got irritated at the question and shot back saying she did not like the question and that they
knew better what they are doing. After this kind of an experience we got to meet with a parent(a friend of ours) whose kid went to Chirec School. She told
that once they had food poisoning episode during one of the breakfasts being served at their school and several students fell sick after the breakfast and
were treated for food poisoning. During a parent meeting following this episode, the principal shot back that the crowd of parents saying she brought the
school from scratch and its her baby and she does not owe anyone any explanation for anything and she will run it the way she decides to. That was it. We
were at a kind of dead end when we came across, Manthan International school in Madhapur. The moment we stepped in we felt reassured that, this is the kind
of people we would like to teach our kids. They believed in stress free transition for the child. They believed in motivating a child to learn rather than
put the child thru a rat race to just meet targets. The Directors were very approachable and patient to each and every single question of ours. Today, I can
tell we made the right decision. One of my kid is in 4th grade and my younger one is in Kindergarden. Both are extremely happy and my younger one has learned
so much in such a short time that I am amazed at the teacher's skill. One parent got so impressed by my younger one in a mall play area that she got her
child admitted in Manthan school the very same week. My older one who was apprehensive about schools in India is very happy about the school.
More established schools with good infrastructure may not be everything we must consider at the time of admission. The managements approachability is a major
criteria, especially in India where legalities are not as much guiding the schools functioning, unlike in US. Parents and students are taken for granted in
India and more so by the more establised schools.
Hope this will help you make a decision. Ideally before Jun anytime these schools do accept admissions subject to availability of seats. The fee at Manthan
is 50K approx. Much less than every other school in the area. Worth stopping by to get a feel of the school.
Schools like Phoenix Greens and Manthan are new ones. They started last year. Hence the management will be approachable :-). Basically this logic stems from established vs establishing attitudes. The schools who are established and who are in demand show "attitude" I guess.
Completely agree with you Ravi. I have good experience with http://www.timekidspreschools.com/ (Banajara Hills) and would recommend for play school and nursery. The teachers are very caring and reachable. Again one of the major factor would be that they are a new group of schools
We are planning to move back to Hyderabad from US. My kids would be coming to 5th & firts grade. From various feedback on this site i am considering Manthan International for my kids. I talked to them on phone, they seem very cooperative.
Can any one suggest whether its a good idea to reserve the seats( have to pay X amount right now to the school) or to hold till we come & see the place in May/June?
Aum: For Manthan, you dont need to pay now to hold the seat. Even if you go there in May, they shoudl have seats since it is new school. I heard very good feed back too
thank you for all the feedback.
Dont go to Merdian . We got admitted and were asked to pay Rs 60,000 in cash and you odnt get a recipt for it . Never ended up doing it . We went to okaridge and found teh same thing - hungry for Money. Orchid seemed good and upcoming . Belive Managment is keen and therefore will listen to parnets at least for teh next few years.
I think it is all about attracting new clients- in India or elsewhere, moreso in India. What happens is that once the new clients are in - they are not bothered. I am sorry to generalize but this trend has started with the NRIs rushing to India and trying to get the same standard of living be it with housing or schooling... Not blaming them , definitely they are entitled to the same. What has happened is that greedy builders and school management tried to cash in on this- there is artificial inflation of real estate prices in hyderabad and there is artifical inflation of school fees. Tell me honestly- every school is as good as the teachers, yeah ambience, envrionment helps a lot.. no doubt about that. We are all placing the innocence of our kids in the hands of these commercial schools because we do not have an option. The need of the hour is a change in the education system, I know am being a bit idealistic but till then - it can be manthan, canthan , oakrodge, poakridge, any damn school they will only succeed in fleecing us in the name of international syllabus, facilities blah blah blah.. Oh btw MY Kid is in PP1 in Meridian and yes I also paid a lot of fees, and yes I cant help it because he has to be part of the rat race.. for which we all are readying our kids from now itself.

Bergen-Belsen (or Belsen) was a Nazi concentration camp in Lower Saxony in northwestern Germany, southwest of the town of Bergen near Celle.
Originally established as the prisoner of war camp Stalag XI-C, in 1943 it became a concentration camp on the orders of Heinrich Himmler, where Jewish hostages were held with the intention of exchanging them for German prisoners of war held overseas. Later still the name was applied to the displaced persons camp established nearby, but it is most commonly associated with the concentration camp it became as conditions deteriorated between 1943-1945. During this time an estimated 50,000 Russian prisoners of war and a further 50,000 inmates died there, up to 35,000 of them dying of typhus in the first few months of 1945.
The camp was liberated on April 15, 1945 by the British 11th Armoured Division.60,000 prisoners were found inside, most of them seriously ill, and another 13,000 corpses lay around the camp unburied. The scenes that greeted British troops were described by the BBC's Richard Dimbleby, who accompanied them:
" ...Here over an acre of ground lay dead and dying people. You could not see which was which... The living lay with their heads against the corpses and around them moved the awful, ghostly procession of emaciated, aimless people, with nothing to do and with no hope of life, unable to move out of your way, unable to look at the terrible sights around them ... Babies had been born here, tiny wizened things that could not live ... A mother, driven mad, screamed at a British sentry to give her milk for her child, and thrust the tiny mite into his arms, then ran off, crying terribly. He opened the bundle and found the baby had been dead for days.
"This day at Belsen was the most horrible of my life.
For public opinion in Western countries in the immediate post-1945 period, the name "Belsen" became emblematic of Nazi horrors in general. The even greater horrors of Auschwitz, a camp which was liberated by the Soviets and of which Western soldiers and journalists had no direct experience, became widely known only later.
In September 1939 a prisoner of war camp was established at Fallingbostel, and the nearby Bergen-Belsen site became a Häftlingslager, or "prison camp", initially housing around 500 prisoners who were used as construction workers for the Fallingbostel project. In June 1940 it became a prisoner of war camp for around 600 French and Belgian soldiers, under the authority of the Wehrmacht, and in May 1941 it was designated prisoner of war camp Stalag XI-C, (Stalag XI-C/311 for the Belgian and French POW's). Conditions in the camp were very basic, with inadequate food and little shelter. Around 20,000 Soviet prisoners of war were sent to the camp between July 1941 and the spring of 1942, of whom about 18,000 died of hunger, cold and disease.
In 1942, Bergen-Belsen became a concentration camp, and part of it was placed under SS command in April 1943. Having initially been designated Zivilinterniertenlager ("civilian internment camp"), in June 1943 it was redesignated Aufenthaltslager ("holding camp"), since the Geneva Conventions stipulated that the former type of facility must be open to inspection by international committees. This was the "Star Camp" (so called because the inmates were made to wear the yellow star badge that designated them Jews). The Star Camp held several thousand Jews, mainly Dutch Jews, who were intended to be exchanged for German civilians interned in other countries. Star Camp inmates were made to work, many of them in the "shoe commando" which salvaged usable pieces of leather from shoes collected and brought to the camp from all over Germany and Occupied Europe. Families were permitted to meet during the day,[7] and in general the Star Camp prisoners were treated less harshly than some other classes of Bergen-Belsen prisoner until fairly late in the war, due to their perceived potential exchange value. From September 1943 Italian military internees were also held at Bergen-Belsen. In March 1944, part of the camp was redesignated as an Erholungslager ("recovery camp"), where prisoners too sick to work were brought from other camps. In August 1944, a shipment of approximately 8,000 female prisoners of various nationalities arrived from Auschwitz, most of whom were sent to Arbeitskommandos to work in factories, and from October 1944 captured Polish Home Army soldiers also began arriving at the camp. In all there were eight separate sections to the camp with different groups, treated differently according to their status.
December 1944 saw the completion of the change-over of Bergen-Belsen into a concentration camp when SS-Hauptsturmführer Josef Kramer, previously at Auschwitz-Birkenau, became the new camp commander. The number of inmates in the camp on December 1, 1944, was 15,257. In 1945, large numbers of prisoners were moved to Belsen from the eastern camps as the Soviet forces advanced. The resulting overcrowding led to a vast increase in deaths from disease (particularly typhus) and malnutrition in a camp originally designed to hold about 10,000 inmates. The number of inmates increased from 22,000 on February 1, 1945, to 41,520 on March 1, 43,042 on April 1 and ultimately to about 60,000 on April 15. The number of deaths increased from 7,000 in February to 18,168 during March and 9,000 during the first half of April. The bodies of these prisoners were buried in mass graves.
There were no gas chambers in Bergen-Belsen, since the mass executions took place in the camps further east. Nevertheless, an estimated 50,000 Jews, Czechs, Poles, anti-Nazi Christians, homosexuals, and Roma and Sinti (Gypsies) died in the camp Among them were Czech painter and writer Josef ?apek (est. April 1945), as well as famous Amsterdam residents Anne Frank (who died of typhus) and her sister Margot, who died there in March 1945. The average life expectancy of an inmate was nine months.
After the war, there were allegations that the camp (or possibly a section of it), was "of a privileged nature", compared to others. A lawsuit filed by the Jewish community in Thessaloniki against 55 alleged collaborators claims that 53 of them were sent to Bergen-Belsen "as a special favor" granted by the Germans.
Liberation Former guards are made to load the bodies of dead prisoners onto a truck for burial, 17–18 April 1945 Some of the 60 tables, each staffed by two German doctors and two German nurses, at which the sick were washed and deloused, 1–4 May 1945 Dr. Fritz Klein stands amongst corpses in Mass Grave 3 The entrance to Bergen-Belsen A memorial stone erected near the ramps where prisoners for Belsen were unloaded from goods trains
When the British and Canadians advanced on Bergen-Belsen in 1945, the German army negotiated a truce and exclusion zone around the camp to prevent the spread of typhus. Under the agreement, Hungarian and regular German troops guarding the camp returned to German lines when Allied troops liberated the camp on April 15, 1945. Although many SS guards had fled the camp, a small number remained, wearing white armbands as a sign of surrender. The retreating Germans sabotaged the water supply to the barracks, making it difficult for the Allied troops to treat the ill prisoners.
When British and Canadian troops finally entered they found thousands of bodies unburied and approximately 55,000 inmates, most acutely sick and starving. Over the next days the surviving prisoners were deloused and moved to a nearby German Panzer army camp, which became theBergen-Belsen DP camp. The remaining SS personnel were then forced by armed Allied troops to bury the bodies in pits.[
Bergen-Belsen concentration camp was then burned to the ground by flamethrowing "Bren gun" carriers and Churchill Crocodile tanks because of the typhus epidemic and louse infestation.The name Belsen after this time refer to events at the Bergen-Belsen DP camp.
In spite of massive efforts to help the survivors, about another 9,000 died in April, and by the end of June 1945 another 4,000 had died (after liberation a total of 13,994 people died). On the 13th day after liberation, the Luftwaffe bombed one of the hospitals in the DP camp, injuring and killing several patients and Red Cross workers. The total number of deaths at Bergen-Belsen from 1943 to June 1945 was about 50,000.
The British troops and medical staff tried these diets to feed the prisoners, in this order:
- Bully beef from Army rations. Most of the prisoners' digestive systems were in too weak a state from long-term starvation to handle such food.
- Skimmed milk. The result was a bit better, but still far from acceptable.
- Bengal Famine Mixture. This is a rice-and-sugar-based mixture which had achieved good results after the Bengal famine of 1943, but it proved less suitable to Europeans than to Bengalis because of the differences in the food to which they were accustomed. Adding the common ingredient paprika to the mixture made it more palatable to these Europeans and recovery started.
Many of the former SS staff that survived the typhus epidemic were tried by the British at the Belsen Trial. At the trial, the world got its first view of Irma Grese, Elisabeth Volkenrath, Juana Bormann, Fritz Klein, Josef Kramer, and the rest of the SS men and women who before served at Mittelbau Dora, Ravensbrück, Auschwitz I, II, III, and Neuengamme. Many of the female guards had served at small Gross Rosen subcamps at Neusalz, Langenleuba, and the Mittelbau-Dora subcamp at Gross Werther.[clarification needed] Dozens of the personnel of Bergen-Belsen were found guilty of murder and of crimes against humanity, and most of those were hanged.
Bergen-Belsen fell into neglect after the burning of the buildings and the closure of the nearby displaced persons' camp. The area reverted to heath, with few traces of the camp remaining.Ronald Reagan's visit to West Germany in 1985 (see Bitburg) included a hastily arranged stop at Bergen-Belsen, which prompted the West Germans to put together a small documentation center. It soon became inadequate for the accumulating archives, for the general liberalizing process of German identity building after the Berlin Wall fell, and for the growing public appetite abroad for Holocaust museums, along with the tourist economy they generated. On April 15, 2005 there was a commemorative ceremony, and many ex-prisoners and ex-liberating troops attended.
In October 2007 the redesigned memorial site was opened, including a large new Documentation Centre and permanent exhibition on the edge of the newly redefined camp, whose structure and layout can now be traced. The site is open to the public and includes a monument to the dead, some individual memorial stones and a "House of Silence" for reflection.
Personal accounts
- Michael Bentine wrote this on his encounter with Belsen:
We were headed for an airstrip outside Celle, a small town, just of Hanover. We had barely cranked to a halt and started to set up the 'ops' tent, when the Typhoons thundered into the circuit and broke formation for their approach. As they landed on the hastily repaired strip – a 'Jock' [Scottish] doctor raced up to us in his jeep.'Got any medical orderlies?' he shouted above the roar of the aircraft engines. 'Any K rations or vitaminised chocolate?''What's up?' I asked for I could see his face was grey with shock.'Concentration camp up the road,' he said shakily, lighting a cigarette. 'It's dreadful – just dreadful.' He threw the cigarette away untouched. 'I've never seen anything so awful in my life. You just won't believe it 'til you see it – for God's sake come and help them!''What's it called?' I asked, reaching for the operations map to mark the concentration camp safely out of the danger area near the bomb line._'Belsen,' he said, simply.__Millions of words have been written about these horror camps, many of them by inmates of those unbelievable places. I've tried, without success, to describe it from my own point of view, but the words won't come. To me Belsen was the ultimate blasphemy.After VE. Day I flew up to Denmark with Kelly, a West Indian pilot who was a close friend. As we climbed over Belsen, we saw the flame-throwing Bren carriers trundling through the camp – burning it to the ground. Our light Bf 108 rocked in the superheated air, as we sped above the curling smoke, and Kelly had the last words on it.'Thank Christ for that,' he said, fervently._And his words sounded like a benediction.
- Banksy's internet-based manifesto contained an account by Mervin Willett Gonin DSO of the immediate aftermath to the liberation of Bergen-Belsen, including an extract from Gonin's diary sourced by the Imperial War Museum.
- Leonard Webb, British veteran from the liberation of the camp.
- Leslie Hardman, British Army Jewish Chaplain and Rabbi, was the first Jewish Chaplain to enter the camp, two days after its liberation, and published his account in the collective book "Belsen in history and memory"
- Memories of Anne Frank, a book by Hannah Goslar
- In his book From Belsen to Buckingham Palace Paul Oppenheimer tells of the events leading up to the internment of his whole family at the camp and their incarceration there between February 1944 and April 1945, when he was aged 14 – 15. Following publication of the book, Oppenheimer personally talked to many groups and schools about the events he witnessed. This work is now continued by his brother Rudi, who shared the experiences.

It's been a busy year for Canon. Take the gorgeous new Digital IXUS 120 IS. Look familiar? If so, that's because it's visually almost identical to its predecessor, the IXUS 100 IS, which was launched in Canon's spring collection just seven months ago.
And while the touchscreen-wielding 200 IS, the other new face in the IXUS lineup, delivers innovation in a subtly quirky design, the 12.1-megapixel 120 IS is all about looks.

Today I'm going to talk about the Essence nail art stickers.
|click for a bigger & better picture
I have them in Sweet romance, Crazy chick, Bling bling & Bad girl. They have many different stickers. I found them very cute.
On valentine's day I wore a lot of the Crazy chick heart shaped ones on my nails. Only down side was that most of the hearts wear gone by the end of the day, not sure if I sealed my nails with a top coat or not.
But the one I'm wearing in the picture stays on quite long, with a topcoat of course!
With the ones from Bling bling it doesn't really matter if you wear them with a topcoat at the end of the day it's gone. But it's great for a party or something because it holds long enough to steal the show with your nails!
Another down side of these cute nail art stickers is that they look gorgeous on light nails but as soon as you use a dark nail polish underneed them the see through part of the sticker shows.
Other than that they look amazingly cute!
Despite of the down sides I found them worth my money and I still buy them and use them.
What are your favourite Nail art stickers from Essence?

MovieBox makes use of P2P to stream what ever shows or movies you intend with the help of torrent and with this, you can enjoy streaming and watching your desired tv shows and movie.
What Torrent and P2P are all About
Don't get lost or confused seeing those wording above, as many people really don't know what it is all about even though they do hear about it time to time.
Torrents is actually a computer file that hold several form of information which contains metadata. The torrent file normally comes with an extension in this form ".torrent". The BitTorrent is used to distributes the information held by the Torrent with the use of its software such as uTorrent which finally allows intended users to download torrent file to their computer as the case may be.
P2P actually stands for Peer to Peer; The "Peer" are actually the computer devices which are connected together via the internet with the major aim of sharing either information or files. Therefore a P2P is technically a File Sharing server as well as a client.
Are There any risk Having Moviebox on Your Devices?
This questions are not obviously new and I think its very wise to find out if its safe having a MovieBox app on your devices and why you may decide to change your mind after reading this.
MovieBox app is majorly and mainly downloaded from the internet. Now take it this way, I uploaded a file of a copyrighted work, and you decided to download that file in which you will eventually use or share the file with someone else, If by any chance I am traced and caught while my sharing or uploading and downloading of the file activities are investigated, if they traced your IP to have also downloaded the file, the authority will definitely come for you too, because you participated in file sharing. Torrenting is all about file sharing, definitely you either act as an uploader, downloader or both.

There are precaution to observe if you really want to enjoy using Moviebox, I will highlight them below, make sure you adhere to the method and ways that will be discussed, because MovieBox is very much illegal to download, its all about piracy, in some countries you may face jail term and fines while some you just pay fine. I will discuss this aspect in my next post of the illegalities and the consequences that are attached to it.
Make use of a good VPN(Virtual Private Network), in using a VPN, there are many things to be considered and must be adhered to because your ISP needs not to suspect or even see what you are doing, using a good VPN will make all your activities encrypted and no one will be able to trace what you are actually doing, not even the authority
- Your chosen VPN must not be able to keep logs of your activities. There are some VPN companies that keep logs, check reviews to be able to ascertain yours don't keep logs. It was reported that a specific VPN company kept logs of their clients and FBI used this to fish out and arrest some of their clients. I am sorry I am not at liberty to say which VPN company that is
- Make sure the VPN allows P2P connection (torrent), they must also show they don't throttle your network. Some VPN company seems to throttle network of their clients once they are connecting or making a P2P connection.
- The VPN must have mobile application and support Mobile application. Since you will making majorly use of your mobile devices like IPAD, IPHONES or ANDROID you will need your VPN to support applications also.
- Your choice of VPN must be very well popular and vetted not to have bad ratings, always keep your eyes on reviews as they may help you in choosing the right VPN.
If you can follow the instructions above, I am very much sure you will have no problem enjoying your MovieBox. Always remember to clear logs and keep your privacy intact.

We're a nation of plenty and we're having a hard time controlling ourselves when it comes to food. Most of us are on the See Food Diet (I see food, I eat it). At least that's what Slate's science blogger, William Saletan, reports in "Real Food for Real People," an article written in the wake of a study of 311 female dieters aged 25 to 50 that found that the Atkins diet was responsible for the most weight loss—even considering that most dieters cheat.
The participants in the diet study who said they were following the Atkins diet (fewer than 50 grams of carbohydrates per day) ate nearly three times the amount of recommended carbs. Ornish dieters, who are supposed to get only 10 percent of their calories from fat, also tripled their intake, getting almost 30 percent from fat.
In the end, Saletan and the study's lead author, Christopher Gardner, mused that it was the restrictive nature of the Atkins program along wtih people's nature to cheat that combined to produce the no-carb diet's good showing.
In the real world, simplicity helps. Atkins has few rules and "one of the simplest messages … absolutely no sugar and no refined carbs,'' Gardner observes. That, he suspects, might explain why participants followed the Atkins regimen more closely than the other diets. In the real world, sometimes you have to push people too far to get them to go halfway. "Cutting back drastically on simple carbohydrates," as Atkins demands, "is clearly a step in the right direction," says Gardner.
Is it our backsliding nature that dooms us to failure when we choose "moderation"? Dietician Suzanne Havala Hobbs, writing in the North Carolina News & Observer, posits that "Moderation Is Killing Us." Her deliciously strict editorial points the finger of shame at the food industry, which has gotten lots of leverage by pushing the moderation concept.
'Moderation' is an affirmative word: It says we can eat some, and it doesn't specify when to stop….
The food industry, with its partners in the [American Dietetic Association] leadership, refused to allow any particular food to be labeled as being unhealthful or a poor choice. No bad foods allowed.
In 1996, when the ADA proclaimed March to be 'National Nutrition Month,' one key message read, 'Any food in today's diverse marketplace fits in a healthful eating style.'
Sausage and cheese biscuits? Not a problem.
I'm sure Hobbs's implied diss of Julia Child will have some folks ready to flame, but Hobbs correctly points out that food industry lobbyists have suckered our government into an unhealthy level of permissiveness. Just say no, it seems, is reserved only for drugs.

State Launches Abuse & Neglect Portal Online
From the Commonwealth of Kentucky:
The Kentucky Department for Community Based Services (DCBS) has launched a new web-based abuse/neglect reporting portal that will modernize and enhance the current intake system. The online Kentucky Child/Adult Protective Services Reporting System makes it convenient, confidential and secure to report non-emergency situations that do not require an immediate response from DCBS staff. DCBS, part of the Kentucky Cabinet for Health and Family Services (CHFS), is the state's primary agency for child and adult protection.
DCBS Commissioner Teresa James said the system was created to better protect Kentucky's children and vulnerable adults."The safety of Kentucky's children, adults and seniors depends on a shared responsibility," James said. "We launched this website so concerned members of the public can more easily report suspected abuse and neglect and so that child and adult welfare investigators and law enforcement officials can better do their jobs."
The website can be accessed at https://prd.chfs.ky.gov/ReportAbuse/home.aspx, and will be monitored from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. EDT, Monday through Friday. Website reports will not be reviewed during evenings, weekends or state holidays. If situations arise during these times indicating a child or adult is at risk of immediate harm, these should be reported to 911, local law enforcement or (877) KY SAFE1.
The website is accessible by any computer or smartphone.
James said the ease and immediacy of the portal should make the reporting system more efficient. "Reporting suspected abuse and neglect is the right instinct, and it is the law in Kentucky," James said. "With this new tool, we are giving people another direct method to contact our intake staff. If you see something of concern -- don't wait, make the report."
Professional partners like law enforcement and judicial officials, medical professionals, educators, child and senior caregivers and other advocates have been using the program since July. Users have given feedback to DCBS staff to help refine the system for the general public.
Users of the portal are required to enter an email contact and will receive an immediate, automated response that their online report has been made. Centralized intake staff will review reports as they are submitted. Users will receive a response message within 48 hours only if their report has not been accepted because it doesn't meet criteria for investigation. Reports that are accepted do not generate a follow-up email message.
The reporting portal has several mandatory input fields so that intake staff can get adequate information about the incident, the alleged victim, the alleged perpetrator and any safety issues in order to screen reports effectively. Users who cannot complete information in all the required fields should call the toll-free reporting hot line: (877) KY SAFE1 or (877) 597-2331.
