Demonetisation: Stricter norms for Non-resident Indians
Non-resident Indians (NRIs) could run into difficulties if they possess discontinued currency notes amounting to a high value.
Not only do NRIs have limited options for exchanging / depositing old notes; in some cases, they might need to provide additional disclosures.
Foreign branches of Indian banks are not accepting the Rs. 500 and Rs. 1,000 notes for either depositing or exchanging.
The only way NRIs can deposit or exchange currency is either by coming to India or authorising someone in writing to deposit the notes into their Non Resident Ordinary (NRO) Account, provided they are able to send the money back home or it is in India.
The authorised person will need an authorisation letter and a valid identity proof, such as an Aadhaar card, driving licence, voter ID card, passport, PAN card, etc.
The deadlines and rules are the same for residents and NRIs. There is no limit on the amount one can deposit. But, if the deposit exceeds Rs. 2.5 lakh, the NRI may face an enquiry about the source of the money, irrespective of whether he files a tax return in India or abroad. "If an individual has not filed a return of income (since he does not pay taxes in India), he may receive a notice from the income tax authorities to either file a return of income or produce relevant information or records, to substantiate the income/deposits made. If able to substantiate the source of income/deposit, there is no need to worry," says Amarpal Chadha, partner, EY.
While depositing money in an NRO account, the NRI may need to disclose the source of funds at the branch itself. "The deposit needs to be in line with the profile of the customer," says Jose Skaria, assistant general manager, international banking department, Federal Bank. He explains that banks graded customers before the government's demonetisation drive started. If you deposit this in an NRO account, and it's a high-value transaction, you might need to provide a copy of the currency exchange receipt.
According to norms, if a person's response is found unsatisfactory, the bank needs to file a Suspicious Transaction Report (STR) within seven days, which is passed to the Financial Intelligence Unit of India.
"We have an NRI client who had withdrawn Rs. 10 lakh in old notes from his account earlier in the year for a medical emergency in the family. On depositing these old notes, he had to disclose his earlier transactions," says Gautam Nayak, a chartered accountant. An NRI also needs to keep in mind that he is not allowed to take more than Rs. 25,000 in cash outside India, under the Foreign Exchange Management Act.
Many are also not aware that the government had last year restricted cash transactions to Rs. 20,000 for loans, deposits and immovable property. If an NRI had accepted cash payment of more than Rs. 20,000 as part of the total consideration for the sale of a property, he might need to pay a penalty. "The penalty is a sum equal to the amount of the loan or deposit or specified sum so taken or accepted," says Chadha.
Procedural tangles..!
* NRIs can only exchange or deposit old notes in India
* They can authorise someone to deposit or exchange notes on their behalf
* May need to produce documents showing source of funds at bank for high-value transactions
* Bank may file a Suspicious Transaction Report, if documents are not satisfactory
* FEMA norms restrict NRIs to take only up to Rs. 25,000 outside India
* For deposits over Rs. 2.5 lakh, they can get a notice requiring them to disclose source of funds and / or file returns

Knack For Sewing Launched Donna Salyers' Career
COVINGTON - Donna Salyers didn't grow up wearing furs - neither faux, nor real. She did, however, grow up with a grandmother who could whip a mighty stitch, and under her tutelage Salyers learned to do the same.
"I was just one of those little kids who like to sew," Salyers said. "I loved pretty clothes and I was from a poor family, and if I was going to have them, I thought, I'll learn to sew, and I'll make them."
She not only made her own clothes, but became an expert on how others might do the same.
In 1974, Salyers, who grew up in Northern Kentucky and graduated from Dixie Heights High School in Crestview Hills, wrote a letter to the editor of the local paper saying that publication's sewing column wasn't up to par.
"I said the column in your paper is so bad even I could write a better column," Salyers said. "They called me and said, 'We wish you would.' I wrote six samples, and I remember thinking I've never written anything but a letter to the editor."
But lack of experience didn't matter and for the next 17 years Salyers wrote a weekly sewing column, "Sewing, Etc.," for Gannett newspapers. She also made guest appearances on sewing segments for a cable television show that was taped in New York City.
"I would go to New York to do these shows and I thought everybody in the whole town had a fur coat but me," Salyers said.
So, Salyers made her own fur coat.
Because she had been writing the column for so long, she had some good contacts in the textile business. As a result, she was able to get her hands on good quality faux fur.
"People would just marvel at that coat," Salyers said. "After about four or five years I'd worn that coat so many times and so many people had tried it on, and I thought I'm getting rid of it and I'm buying a fur coat today."
But, as it turned out, Salyers plan changed with the turn of a radio dial.
Salyers was listening to radio commentator Paul Harvey talk about a toy manufacturer in London who took litters of kittens, skinned them, then used their fur to make teddy bears.
"I thought, I don't want a fur coat," Salyers said. But she wanted the look of fur, and she thought others might, too.
Salyers bought an ad in a sewing publication and sold sewing kits for her fur coat. In 1989, her first year of business, she earned $300,000. This year, Fabulous Furs will earn more than $10 million.
Celebrity List
"Do you know who Ice T is?" asked Salyers. "I didn't."
But Salyers soon found out, when the rap star became a customer. As it turns out, Ice T and his wife Coco purchased three custom bed throws from Fabulous Furs for their home which was featured on MTV's "Cribs," a television program that gives viewers a glimpse into celebrities' far-from-humble abodes.
Fabulous Furs established celebrity appeal early on. Actress Loretta Swit of the sitcom M*A*S*H contacted Salyers after reading about her in an article in the San Francisco Chronicle.
"She read about us in the Chronicle and said, 'I want one of your coats, but I don't know how to sew,'" Salyers recalled. "I told her I'd turn it over to the ready-to-wear department. So, of course I'm in my kitchen making it that night."
Swit showed the coat to her friend, actress Stefanie Powers, who contacted Salyers and asked her to bring some of her coats backstage while she was in town performing "Love Letters."
Fabulous Fur pillows were on the big screen in the movie, "You've Got Mail," starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan. "All My Children's" Susan Lucci sported a faux-lynx coat on the daytime drama, and Cosmopolitan Editor Helen Gurley Brown owns both sable and coyote faux furs.
"We still get excited about celebrities," Salyers said.
Fabulous Furs' business offices are located in Covington along with a showroom that Salyers said has become a tour bus destination. She's hoping her new endeavor, Fabulous Bridal (see related story, this page), located at the corner of Sixth Street and Madison Avenue in Covington, will have similar appeal.
"If we can make Fabulous Bridal a destination, people will travel from down in Kentucky and Tennessee," Salyers said.

To Be or Not to Be There is not even a question, as going to Shakespeare on the Plaza is your chance to see the Bard's plays in the open, much as they were in his day. 2016 marks the third year the event will take place, and again will feature two well-known plays that will come to a wide audience in the open air.
The Vortex Theater and the City of Albuquerque have partnered to bring together the 2018 season, which features the plays of Much Ado About Nothing and The Tempest. Sixteen nights of outdoor Shakespeare bring together some of the city's best actors for classic comedy and intrigue.
Performances begin at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday through Sunday nights for four weeks, June 8 through July 1.
When You Get There
Unlike some of the live shows held in the Civic Plaza, there is seating provided when you see the plays. Just like a real theater, there will also be concessions and pre-show entertainment. The theater has theatrical lighting and sound. The plays run roughly two hours and the actors are fully costumed.
The plaza is ADA accessible. All shows are at 7:30 p.m.
Though the plays take place in summer, the evenings can sometimes be cool, so bring a sweater just in case.
Prior to the show, there will be entertainment such as magic and teenage Shakespeareans. Get there early to enjoy the pre-show and the concessions.
If a show is canceled because of the weather, patrons will get a voucher that will be good for a later performance of Shakespeare on the Plaza or for a performance at the Vortex Theater during the current season.
The Civic Plaza is located at 5th and Marquette in downtown Albuquerque, between City Hall and the Convention Center. Find the theater on the north side of the plaza, off Marquette, under the overhead awning. The Martin Luther King exit off I-25 becomes Marquette downtown and leads directly to the plaza.
Admission for 2018 for all shows is FREE. Because it will be free, expect greater crowds. When you show up at the theater before the show, you will be given a number. While you wait for the show to begin, wander Civic Plaza, where there will be food, food trucks, and pre-show entertainment. On Fridays and Saturdays, there will be a bar. Then listen for your group and number to be called. When you hear your number, take your seat.
Paid parking is available in the garage located beneath the plaza. It is accessed by going west on Roma or east on Marquette. There is also free street parking in the surrounding neighborhood, a paid lot east of the Galeria Plaza, and the Convention Center paid garage.
A Bit of History
Shakespeare on the Plaza began in 2014 as a collaboration between the City of Albuquerque and the Vortex Theatre. The Vortex had run a Shakespeare-inspired "Will Power" festival in the summers from 2010-2013. The three-play, nine-week summer festival took place at the Vortex. Collaborating with the city allowed the theater to take the plays outdoors, a tradition of summer festivals worldwide. The first year, A Midsummer NIght's Dream and Romeo and Juliet were performed. In 2015, Julius Caesar and The Taming of the Shrew were performed.
Both years, the plays were performed for 16 shows over a period of four weeks.
Visit EDo or the east downtown district.
Learn the history of nearby Route 66 and where it thrived in Albuquerque.

Annoyingly they claim to have no record of these sites despite them having been on line for several years! It might be a while before things are rectified as it will involve a fair amount of work to replace the files.

Making Small Pine Trees
There are many methods to making trees, and the DDMRC has a member in its midst that makes Mother Nature work hard to make trees as good as he does, when we needed heaps of Pine Trees for the Z/Nn3 ZeNkeville layout, this member, Doug Clarkson, came up with an economical and easy technique that anyone can master.
Bumpy Chenille (available at craft shops in several colours)
Cheap No Name Hairspray or spray adhesive.
A good pair of scissors
A foam block (to stick the finished trees in while they dry)
Foliage, fine to medium, your choice of colour, brand etc
Container to apply foliage over (Chinese food container, ice cream container or similar, "not the wife's good Tupperware though").
You will notice the Bumpy Chenille is wound into four distinct sections, snip the bushy section at the top on each leaving a trunk at the opposite end.
Undercut the trunk end of the (we'll call it a tree now) tree and trim the chenille from the trunk as close as possible, if you want to rough up the tree itself a bit to get rid of the evenness, now's the time to do it.
Hold the tree by the trunk and spray with the adhesive or hairspray, then holding it over the container that you placed your foliage material in, (did I forget to mention that part, OK then, place your foliage material in the container, oops, better respray the tree, I think it dried out, oh well! Second time lucky) turn the tree as you sprinkle foliage on the wet spray.
Tap the tree gently while holding it over the container and then plant it in the foam block to dry. How easy was that!
Limitations do occur, the trees will be very similar in size and shape, you can vary the colour and even use a mixture of different colours, but for our purpose, or for quick, economical background trees, this method is a winner.
In the larger scales, these can make nice ornamental trees in a garden setting, or round the tops off and make them into bushes, use your imagination.
Video Added
As a complement to this article, a video has been added to the downloads area in the Hints & Tips section. To see how to make a pine tree in real time, please download this short video.

LONDON (AP) - World stock markets recovered their poise Thursday after the U.S. Federal Reserve indicated that interest rates would not rise soon - even though the first cracks appeared on the central bank's rate-setting committee.
President Barack Obama's focus on the economy in his first State of the Union speech and a seemingly less hostile attitude to the banks in the speech also helped stocks to rally in Asia and Europe and lift expectations about the U.S. open.
In Europe, the FTSE 100 index of leading British shares was up 10.02 points, or 0.2 percent, at 5,227.49 while Germany's DAX rose 19.58 points, or 0.4 percent, to 5,662.78. The CAC-40 in France was 16.69 points, or 0.4 percent, higher at 3,776.49.
In Asia Japan's Nikkei 225 stock average jumped 162.21 points, or 1.6 percent, to 10,414.29 and Hong Kong's Hang Seng added 323.30 points, or 1.6 percent, 20,356.37. South Korea's Kospi advanced 1 percent to 1,642.43.
Elsewhere, Shanghai's market was up 0.3 percent, Australia added 0.6 percent and India's index ticked up 0.1 percent. Taiwan's market gained 1.8 percent.
A modest advance was also expected on Wall Street - Dow futures were up 15 points, or 0.2 percent, at 10,210 while the broader Standard & Poor's 500 futures rose 1.9 point, or 0.2 percent, to 1,096.50.
Stocks around the world had been in retreat for most of the last week in the wake of Obama's announcement that he plans to impose restrictions on banks more risky trading activities as well as mounting speculation that China is looking to rein in bank lending to prevent a nasty inflationary spike.
But the stock market tone has been broadly positive ever since the Fed's policy statement on Wednesday, which was issued towards the end of the trading day on Wall Street.

QXL.com Acquires Auction Business in Poland
Page 1 of 1
Online auctioneer QXL.com announced Monday that it has agreed to acquire Allegro, an online auction site in Poland, from e-commerce company SurfStopShop.
Although Allegro is the largest site of its kind in Poland, QXL.com will be paying just $75,000 in cash for it. Many items offered for sale in online auctions often cost more, but as QXL explained to internet.com, the market in eastern Europe is undeveloped.
"This acquisition will enable QXL.com to gain a firm foothold in eastern Europe, one of the most dynamic frontiers for Internet expansion," said Jim Rose, chief executive officer of QXL.com.
Arjan Bakker, managing director of SurfStopShop, will serve as managing director of an expanded QXL operation in Poland, with the Allegro team joining the increasingly pan-European online auctioneer.
"We are thrilled to be a part of QXL.com and to be providing it with a solid platform to initiate expansion into Eastern Europe," said Bakker.
Since its U.K. launch in November 1997, QXL.com has expanded to its present position where it runs consumer-to-consumer and business-to-consumer auctions in eight languages and currencies.
Listed on the London Stock Exchange and the Nasdaq National Market, QXL.com offers auctions in German QXL.de, French QXL.fr, Italian QXL.it, Dutch QXL.nl, Norwegian QXL.no, Danish QXL.dk, and Spanish QXL.es.

ODA/Finnish SOTE registry import
- 1 Introduction
- 2 Goals
- 3 Schedule
- 4 Import Data
- 5 Data Preparation
- 6 Data Merge Workflow
The National Institute for Health and Welfare (THL) maintains a registry for all public and private social and health care providers in Finland.
The ODA Self care and digital value services -project would like to use the data in this registry for making sure that all the providers citizens visit are indeed listed on OSM.
The registry is available on Code Service under CC BY 4.0 license.
Written permission to use the data has been obtained from THL. THL would require that they are mentioned as a data source on the Contributors wiki page.
Aim of the import is to geocode the addresses on the THL registry and insert the locations on OSM.
Plan is to do the import as soon as possible.
Following topics need to be considered:
- Licensing rights (CC-BY 4.0), OpenStreetMap Foundation has now guidelines. Written permission by THL has also been received
- Data preparation, i.e. how to prepare the data for the import
- Data merge, i.e. how to merge the prepared data to the OpenStreetMap, in case there are existing locations for the same service providers.
Import Data
Data source site: https://www.thl.fi/en/web/information-management-in-social-welfare-and-health-care/standardisation-of-data-and-requirements/code-service
Data license: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
Type of license: CC-BY
Link to permission: signed permission statement
OSM attribution: to be added to Contributors
ODbL Compliance verified: yes
OSM Data Files
Files will be prepared using the scripts on Github.
Example output available on output.
Import Type
New organizations are registered continuously to the registry. This means the import needs to be updated with the new and changed data periodically.<br>
Update will be done using scripts to process the data but with manual upload.
JOSM will be used for entering the changed data to the OSM database.
Data Preparation
Data Reduction & Simplification
Several of the SOTE organizations already appear on OSM. Data cleanup needs to be investigated. We see however also benefits in a bigger data set derived from the registry vs locations uploaded by individuals.
Tagging Plans
Organizations are tagged amenity:clinic=* or amenity:social_facility=*. Sample node:
<node id='-45' lat='61.495632' lon='23.770766' timestamp='2016-02-02T01:30:24'> <tag k='name' v='Hammaslääkintäyritys Plakki Oy'/> <tag k='addr:city' v='Tampere'/> <tag k='addr:street' v='Suvantokatu'/> <tag k='addr:housenumber' v='10'/> <tag k='addr:postcode' v='33100'/> <tag k='sote_oid' v='184.108.40.2061.1111111.11.11'/> <tag k='addr:country' v='FI'/> <tag k='amenity' v='clinic'/> <tag k='phone' v='050123456'/> </node>
Changeset Tags
Will use comment=* and created_by=* tags to indicate that we uploaded the SOTE registry locations and that the changeset was crafted by the ODA effort.
Data Transformation
Addresses of the organizations are geocoded to coordinates using Digitransit.fi
Data Transformation Results
Data Merge Workflow
Team Approach
The import is being done as part of the ODA Self care and digital value services effort.
- Open tampere_output.osm on josm-tested.jar
- Review data
- Upload data in one changeset
- Review upload results, if OK create & upload changeset for rest of Finland
- Use JSOM Reverter plugin for rolling back changeset(s) if needed

Dating After Divorce? 3 Pitfalls To Avoid
Whether you've already started dating after divorce, or you're about to take the plunge, chances are good you're going to be tempted to give in to three behaviors that will sabotage either your ability to move on from your marriage, or seriously reduce the chance you'll find a wonderful new man. Here are three post-divorce dating dangers and how you can avoid them:
1. Thinking all guys are like your ex. Trusting a new man once you've been hurt by your ex-husband is difficult. Yet, if you don't get rid of this distrust toward men it will destroy your chance of finding someone new. This distrust often shows up in online dating profiles when you say things like "no head games," or "no dishonest men." When you write those things in your profile, you're broadcasting on a billboard that you've been hurt and that you're distrustful.
You'll scare away the men who have it together because they'll recognize your distrust immediately. And most of the men who really do play head games or are dishonest haven't admitted to themselves that they possess these massive flaws … this makes it likely that they aren't going to stay away from you just because you ask them to in your profile. And when you do get into a relationship after divorce, even if the guy is faithful to you and is madly in love with you, you may not believe anything he says.

"We always catch the dumb ones," cops like to say. They could tick off ninety-nine out of a hundred boxes with these kinds of arrests. That one unchecked box though. It could vex you into early death.
I bought my copy of I'll Be Gone in the Dark: One Woman's Obsessive Search for the Golden State Killer at a March event in San Francisco featuring the late Michelle McNamara's husband, comedian and actor Patton Oswalt. I had become intrigued by the case several years ago when McNamara wrote a piece about the man previously known as "EAR/ONS" (East Area Rapist/Original Night Stalker—McNamara was marketing-savvy enough to know that a catchy name is essential in generating interest in a cold case) for Los Angeles magazine. The article featured an email sign-up form at the end, promising to keep readers updated on new developments. I submitted my address, looking forward to finding out more about the hunt for a man who had committed heinous crimes not far from where I live, terrorizing this area long before I moved to California.
Sadly, McNamara died before the killer was caught, and before she finished her book. Oswalt gave the researchers she had been working with access to her voluminous files and notes, and they completed her work. I'll Be Gone in the Dark is both a testament to her skill as a writer and her colleagues' determination; there are notes in the book indicating when the duo, Paul Haynes and Billy Jensen, are working from notes, early drafts of her Los Angeles article, or interview transcripts.
So this is not the book McNamara would have released into the world had she lived, but we're lucky to have this version of it, because it's an instant classic in the true-crime genre. There are plenty of thoughtful passages where you can tell how immersed she became in the case, like this one, where she tries to truly understand the man she's been tracking for so long: "Violent fantasy advances to mental rehearsal. He memorizes a script and refines methods. He's the maltreated hero in the story. Staring up at him anguished-eyed is a rotating cast of terrified faces. His distorted belief system operates around a central, vampiric tenet: his feeling of inadequacy is vanquished when he exerts complete power over a victim, when his actions elicit in her an expression of helplessness; it's a look he recognizes, and hates, in himself."
I will admit that I was kind of scared to read the book because I'm a little bit of a true-crime wimp (at least I can reassure myself that fictional murders are simply the product of some writer's imagination), but once the Golden State Killer was caught, I immediately picked it up, figuring that it would be less creepy once he was no longer on the loose. To be honest, I'm glad I waited, because it was fascinating to read it in light of what we now know about James DeAngelo, the man investigators are convinced is the culprit. "If we could just submit the killer's actual genetic material… to one of these [DNA] databases, the odds are great that we would find a second or third cousin and that person would lead investigators to the killer's identity." Bingo.
For armchair crime buffs, it's perhaps a little disappointing that DNA ultimately brought down the killer instead of the obsessive sleuthing of both professionals like ace investigator Paul Holes and enthusiastic amateurs like McNamara and Haynes. Known online as "The Kid," Haynes compiled a 118-page document "with some two thousand men's names and their information, including dates of birth, address histories, criminal records, and even photos where available." We now know that DeAngelo's name was almost certainly not among them. And yet, reading this book after DeAngelo's capture shows how correct some of the hunches were. Holes told McNamara that he felt the killer may have attended California State University, Sacramento; that turned out to be right, since news stories following his arrest have revealed that he graduated from that institution with a criminal justice degree.
Why did his killing spree come to an abrupt end? "After May 4, 1986, you disappear," writes McNamara. "Some think you died. Or went to prison. Not me. I think you bailed when the world began to change… memories fade. Paper decays. But technology improves. You cut out when you looked over your shoulder and saw your opponents gaining on you." On April 24, 2018, it finally happened, exactly as McNamara predicted it would: "The tables have been turned. Virtual windows are opening all around you. You, the master watcher, are an aging, lumbering target in their crosshairs… Open the door. Show us your face. Walk into the light."

As the end to our Monday was approaching, our group was left with some extra time to explore the city of D.C. on our own so we decided to take the metro to Foggy Bottom and make the 5 minute walk to the Georgetown Neighborhood. Each side of the block was filled with restaurants and storefronts for everyone to enjoy. We visited Georgetown Cupcake to sample the famous delicacy and then roamed the Georgetown campus, talking to students and feeling the culture of the school all while dressed as students wearing our backpacks doing our best to fit in. We finished the tour with a trip to the bookstore and then dinner at Qdoba where we received half off our meal for being "students." My overall experience and that of our group was one of awe at the density of the neighborhood from its great shopping and food and its close location to campus.
The following is a list of 5 interesting things to checkout next time you are able to visit the neighborhood.
- Georgetown Cupcake – Featured on TLC, the store offers a large selection of gourmet cupcake creations for every pallet
- The Old Stone House – One Washington D.C.'s oldest and untouched structures built in 1765 and is located just off of M street
- Washington Harbor Complex – Located on K street, a great location to view the Potomac River and the rest of DC
- City Club Tavern – The oldest commercial building in Washington D.C. and was frequented by George Washington, John Adams, and Thomas Jefferson
- Georgetown University – The 104 acre campus is just a short walk from M street, the majestic campus is full of life and a must see

Hijacker suspect dies in shoot-out
A suspected hijacker was shot dead in shoot-out with police following a tense car chase in Mthatha on Friday morning.
Police gave chase following reports of a hijacking of a Toyota Avanza by three gunmen at Payne village in Mthatha.
Police spokesperson Captain Dineo Koena confirmed the incident. She said at about 7am on Friday, police received information of the hijacking.
"It was reported that a man driving a Toyota Avanza was hijacked at Payne village by three men, all armed with pistols. Two of the suspects drove in the Avanza with the driver and one other was driving a VW Polo Vivo."
Koena said members of the Mthatha flying squad responded and gave chase.
"The two robbers dumped the Avanza with the owner. But they robbed him of his firearm," said Koena.
The two suspects who evaded police have not yet been arrested.

Are you eligible? Here are a few frequently asked questions regarding American Legion eligibility. For any other eligibility questions, feel free to contact us at firstname.lastname@example.com or 317-630-1321.

Q: I didn't retire from the military, but was on active duty during one of the qualifying time periods. Am I eligible?
Yes, you are a veteran. As long as you have served at least one day of federal active duty during any of the qualifying periods, you are eligible for membership.
Q: I served during one of the qualifying periods, but was never in a combat zone. Am I eligible?
Yes, you are a veteran. Location of active duty service is not a consideration for membership.
Q: I'm currently in the National Guard/Reserve. My unit was activated under Title 10 orders during a qualifying time period. Am I eligible?
Yes, you are a veteran. Title 10 orders are issued by the Secretary of Defense and therefore are federal orders.
Q: My National Guard unit was activated for crowd control under Title 32 orders during one of the qualifying periods. Am I eligible?
No. Title 32 orders are issued under a governor's authority, whereas Title 10 orders are issued from the Secretary of Defense.
Q: I'm currently a cadet at one of the U.S. Military Academies. Am I eligible?
Yes, you are a veteran. The American Legion has considered service in the military academies as eligible for membership since WWI.
Q: Can I be an honorary or social member of The American Legion?
No. Per National Constitution and By-laws, no form or class of membership is authorized except regular active or paid up for life.
Q: I served my entire military career in the National Guard/Reserves, and only have a DD214 from my Active Duty for Training that I was in during one of the qualifying dates. Am I eligible?
Yes, you are a veteran. In the mid-60's all basic training and occupational training schools were considered federal active duty service.

Q: I served with allied military forces during one of the qualifying periods. Am I eligible?

Q: I served with the Civil Air Patrol/Civilian Technical Corps/USPHS as a civilian during two qualifying periods. Am I eligible?
No. Eligible members must have federal military service during a qualifying period and received an honorable discharge or discharge under honorable conditions.
Q: I enlisted and went to basic training, but received an uncharacterized discharge due to a medical condition. Am I eligible?
Yes, you are a veteran. Uncharacterized discharges for medical discharges are assumed to be under honorable conditions unless specifically stated otherwise. There are other categories of uncharacterized discharges and before they are determined eligible for membership the discharge should be sent to National for determination and a record will be maintained at National on final determination.
Q: I'm eligible for The American Legion, but do not have a copy of my DD214 to show as proof of eligibility. How can I get one?
You can go to archives.gov/veterans to request another copy of your discharge papers. A copy of orders putting you on federal active duty can be used as proof of eligibility as well.
Membership Questions
Q: Where can I find my member ID number?
Once you join The American Legion, you're assigned a permanent 9-digit Member ID number that will remain yours as long as you're a member. (If you ever transfer to another post, always make sure to provide your original Member ID Number.) You'll find the ID number on your membership card and it's also the first 9 digits shown above your name on our magazine labels. (It always starts with a 1 or 2.)
If you are unable to locate your membership card please call Customer Service: by calling (800) 433-3318 to obtain your member ID and a replacement card.
Q: Can I submit an address change online?
Yes, you can change most of your record information, including your address, on our website at Legion.org. Select the MEMBERS option from the menu bar then, under Quick Links, select Manage Your Membership to access a domestic address change form. Or go directly to the form at legion.org/membershipmanagement. National can also take your address change over the phone at (800) 433-3318. Normal business hours are Monday-Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. EST) Members who are moving to a foreign address should submit their address changes via email to email@example.com and include their name, Member ID number, current address and new address.
You can also set-up a myLegion.org account and manage your membership information and print a membership card. The myLegion.org site allows members to see their information on file at National Headquarters, view messages and events published through the department and post myLegion.org sites, and even network with other myLegion.org members using networking tools. Go to Legion.org and look for the myLegion.org link to get started.
Q: I submitted an address change a month ago but my latest issue of the magazine went to the old address. What happened?
Although address changes are immediate when your record is updated, the preparation for mailing each issue of the magazine actually begins about 6 weeks in advance of the mailing. This is simply because of the time it takes to prepare a mailing so large. The United States Postal Service (USPS) will forward your magazines until the address change catches up with the magazine production providing you notified them of your move.
Q: I belong to a local post and renewed my membership online. When will I get my membership card?
National Headquarters usually updates the records within 24-48 hours to reflect the dues payment. Your Department Headquarters is also notified and your post Adjutant receives notification through the post officer's version of the myLegion.org website. Your pre-printed annual membership card is at your post and it should be forwarded to you after they review the notification of your renewal. If you don't receive it in a timely manner, contact your post Adjutant for assistance.
Q: I received a membership invitation in the mail and it says I can also join online at a special website shown on the application. If I join online, will I still get my membership card and the free gift mentioned in the letter?
Yes, you'll get your membership card and any free gifts mentioned in the letter, as long as you apply from that special website. You should receive your new member packet, including your membership card and free gift, approximately 4-6 weeks after you submit your application online. However, if you decide to mail your application, it would take about 4-6 weeks after we receive your application at National Headquarters. (Applies only to new members who join through National.)
Q: Why not include Direct Mailing Solicitation (DMS) in membership and all award calculations?
Emphasis on our award system is to reward volunteers who do the work. Direct Mailing Solicitation (DMS) is merely a tool to increase membership or replace attrition. DMS members are procured by national and then offered to departments immediately via mylegion.org to be placed in traditional posts. However, these members do count towards the department's delegate strength for the National Convention and towards the department's membership goal.
Q: If I join online or submit a membership application to National Headquarters, will I belong to a local Post?
When you first join The American Legion, through National Headquarters, your membership will be assigned to the department (state) Headquarters (HQ) post in your state of residence. The HQ posts are basically administrative posts only and there are no meetings or activities, although you're entitled to the same membership benefits, and can visit the local posts as a guest. You can choose to remain in the HQ Post but it is recommend that you visit posts in your area and if you find one you like, you're free to transfer. It's a great way to get involved with your local community.
Q: How do I transfer my membership to another Post?
The transfer process is simple. Visit the post you're interested in joining and speak with an officer. You'll need to provide your 9-digit member ID and should also be prepared to show a copy of your DD214 (or similar) to verify your eligibility. After acceptance of your membership, the post will submit the necessary paperwork to notify the department (State) and National Headquarters of your transfer.
Q: Why doesn't my membership card reflect the total number of years I've been a member?
The annual card reflects your continuous years of membership. If you miss a year of paying dues, your continuous years start over. However, if you think there's a mistake, contact your Post Adjutant and if it's confirmed there is an error, they can submit a request to correct your record.
Q: How much does it cost to rent a Post for a special event, like a birthday or reception?
You'll need to contact the Post you're interested in renting. Each post runs its own business affairs, including whether or not the facilities can be rented, and National Headquarters isn't involved in any way. If you're looking for a Legion post in your area, please visit Legion.org/posts to use the post locator.
Q: When does my membership expire?
Your membership actually expires on December 31st of the paid year shown on your card. It can be a little confusing because your annual dues are supposed to be paid by January 1st each year so National starts accepting dues for the upcoming year on July 1st. The goal is to have everyone renewed for the New Year by January 1st, when it begins.
If dues are not paid by January 1 of each calendar year, the member becomes delinquent. February 1, the member is suspended, June 30, the member is dropped from the membership rolls.
Q: I paid my dues a while ago so why did I get another renewal notice?
Renewal notices are mailed from National Headquarters based on the information in our records at the time the notices are printed. Although you may have paid your dues, the National portion of your dues may not have reached our offices yet. When you pay your dues to the Post, they process your payment and keep a portion for the Post; the balance is sent to your Department Headquarters with your membership card; and finally, the Department deducts its portion of your dues and then forwards the remaining balance and your membership card to National. Once National receives your dues and card they are usually processed within 48 hours.
On the renewal notice, you'll see there is an "AS OF" date which is when the notice was printed. If you paid your dues sometime around that date, your dues and the renewal probably just crossed in the mail, and you shouldn't receive another one for that membership year. However, if you paid well in advance of that "as of" date, then you should contact your Post Adjutant to verify the status of your renewal payment.
Q: Are there any death benefits available from The American Legion?
There are no death benefits simply by virtue of your membership, however, if a member passes away, the family should check to see if he/she held a life insurance policy with any of our benefit partners. (Since this is protected information, National Headquarters doesn't have this available on its records.) Family members can contact our insurance providers at the numbers listed below to see if the member had an active policy:
Hartford Life
Union Fidelity
Globe Life
Additionally, some Departments (States) offer a free $1000 accidental death benefit with a paid membership, which is also separate from the National Organization. You would need to contact the member's Department Headquarters to inquire about a possible death benefit; you can find a listing of the Department offices on our website at www.legion.org/membershipmanagement.
By the way, you should also contact the Veterans Administration at 1-800-827-1000 to see if there would be a death benefit as a result of the veteran's military service.
Q: How can I get help with my VA claim?
The American Legion Department Service Officers are specially trained to provide information and assistance relating to the VA and other veteran's issues. You can call our Veterans Affairs & Rehabilitation Division in our DC office at 202-861-2700 or email them at firstname.lastname@example.com. You can also find a listing of American Legion certified Service Officers on our web site at www.legion.org/serviceofficers . Or, if your cell phone service permits it, you can also download The American Legion Claims Coach, our mobile application; it contains information, directories and other valuable resources for veterans.
Q: How can I find a local post?
It's easy! Visit our website at www.legion.org/posts to search for posts by city or zip code, using our post locator.
Q: How much is a lifetime membership?
Our life membership program is called Paid-Up-For-Life (PUFL). To find out how much it would cost for you to become a PUFL member, visit www.legion.org/pufl to get a personalized quote. You can print an application to mail in, or just complete and submit your application online!
Q: I never served in the military but can I still join?
I served on active duty but my dates of service don't appear on your membership application.
My family member served on active duty so can I join under his/her service?
The American Legion was chartered by Congress in 1919 as an organization for war time veterans. Membership is open only to men and women who served active duty in the US Armed Forces during specific periods designated as "war time" by the US Congress, and who have received an honorable discharge, or are still serving honorably. Eligible veterans would be able to provide a Form DD214 (or similar) to verify their eligibility. If you don't meet these requirements, then we're sorry, but you're not eligible for membership.
It's possible that you may be able to join one of the other organizations in the "Legion Family." The Sons of The American Legion (SAL) is comprised of male descendants, adopted sons and step-sons of American Legion members. (There are no age limitations.) Many posts have an active SAL program and you can contact one near you to learn more. (Visit www.legion.org/sons for more information.)
Our sister organization is the American Legion Auxiliary. Eligibility is open to mothers, wives, daughters, sisters, grand-daughters, great-grand-daughters, or grandmothers of members of The American Legion, or of deceased veterans who served in the United States Armed Forces during the listed war eras. (Women who are eligible for membership in The American Legion are also eligible to join the Auxiliary.) Visit their website at www.alaforveterans.org or you can reach their National Headquarters office by calling 317-569-4500.
Q: How do I lodge a complaint about a local Post?
Please contact the Department (State) Headquarters. You can find a complete listing of those offices on our website at www.legion.org/departments.

Greetings from Seattle and the American Podiatric Medical Association.
As you know, we have been very interested in game-based rehabilitation and motor learning. To that end, enjoy this story, which is becoming increasingly common around the world:
A Wii bit of help to Williamstown patient recovery
Jimmy Ross with his Wii. Picture: GLENN DANIELS
JIMMY Ross copped a knockout blow when he was hit by a stroke 10 months ago.
But a computer game at Williamtown Hospital is helping the 72-year-old fighter to get back on his toes.
Western Health has recently introduced a Nintendo Wii to its community-based rehabilitation programs, where patients use simulated boxing and bowling games to challenge physical, cognitive and visual recovery.
According to wife Val, the games have proved a hit with Mr Ross, whose previously fighting experience was the odd "scrap" on the street as a teenager.
"The first time he used it he got a score hit," Mrs Ross said.
Mr Ross, a past secretary of Williamstown RSL, was paralysed on his right side after the stroke in September 2009.
Unable to speak or move, he had to be lifted to get out of bed and dress in the morning.
The computer games are combined with occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech pathology, community integration, social work, podiatry and nursing. And the work is paying off.
"He's improved a lot considering he couldn't move or speak," Mrs Ross said. "(Jimmy) would like to get back to almost what he was like before he had the stroke.
"He probably won't be 100 per cent but close as possible. He's working on it."
Doctors in the US, Britain and Europe have been using Nintendo Wii for stroke patients since its introduction in 2007.
