Payments that an employer makes to an employee under a fixed indemnity health plan must be included in the employee's taxable income, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) recently indicated, if the plan premiums were paid by the employer or by salary reduction under a cafeteria plan.
"An employer may not exclude from an employee's gross income payments under an employer-provided fixed indemnity health plan if the value of the coverage was excluded from the employee's gross income and wages," according to the memorandum released January 20 by the IRS Office of Chief Counsel (No. 201703013). The same applies "if the premiums for the fixed indemnity health plan were originally made by salary reduction through a §125 cafeteria plan."
In explaining this conclusion, the IRS first noted that Section 106(a) of the Internal Revenue Code allows employees to exclude from income "accident or health insurance" premiums paid by the employer, and Section 105(b) makes excludable any payouts by such insurance to reimburse "medical care."
However, if these insurance payments are not directly related to the employee's medical expenses, "the amounts are not excluded from gross income because the amounts are not paid to reimburse expenses incurred by the employee for personal injuries and sickness," the IRS determined.
Fixed indemnity coverage typically pays out a set dollar amount per day of hospitalization, for example, rather than reimbursing actual medical costs that the individual incurs. Some fixed indemnity insurance is an "excepted benefit" exempt from many Affordable Care Act requirements, although the precise scope of that exemption has been hotly contested.
Payouts by these policies are generally excluded from the employee's gross income under Code Section 104(a)(3), but not if they are attributable to contributions made by the employer or excluded from gross income—such as through a cafeteria plan.
Example 1. An employer offers a fixed indemnity health plan to all employees, whether or not they have other health coverage. Employees pay the premiums with salary deductions, and these amounts are included in their taxable income.
Amounts paid out by this plan would be excluded from gross income and wages, the IRS stated. This would not be the case, however, if the employer provided the coverage at no cost to the employee, or the salary deductions were part of a cafeteria plan—and therefore not included in compensation at the time the salary would have been paid.
Wellness Programs
The IRS also discussed a related issue regarding fixed indemnity benefits and wellness programs.
Example 2. An employer gives all employees the chance to enroll in a "wellness plan" by salary deduction under a cafeteria plan. The wellness plan pays employees a fixed cash benefit, unrelated to any medical expenses, of $100 for completing a health risk assessment, $100 for undergoing health screenings, and $100 for participating in other prescribed preventive care activities.
Because the wellness plan's premiums were paid from funds not included in the employee's income, the exclusions in sections 104(a)(3) and 105(b) do not apply to the fixed indemnity payments, so the payments are included in gross income and wages, according to the IRS. The same would be true if the wellness plan simply paid out a fixed cash benefit every pay period.
In a previous memorandum, the IRS cautioned that if employees paid a wellness program "premium" by salary reduction under a cafeteria plan, the program could not then pay cash and other nonmedical wellness "rewards" on a tax-free basis.
Employer Takeaway
This latest IRS memorandum does not really break new ground, according to Rich Glass, a benefits attorney with Mercer LLC. It does clarify the general IRS position that if these types of programs are paid for on a pretax or nontaxable basis, then the benefit payouts must be taxable, said Glass, contributing editor to BLR's Flex Plan Handbook.

1998 Jeep Cherokee SUV - Consumer Review
Build Quality
Reliability Value
Build Quality
Reliability Value
By Aaron on
Vehicle1998 Jeep Cherokee Classic 4dr SUV 4WD
ReviewI bought the jeep smashed up in the front for a great price. Bought some new and used parts and painted it in my garage. Has been great ever since. Yearly maintenance is $100-$200 on average and I pile the miles on it. More reliable and durable than anything on the road. Everyone says in these reviews that they wish they still built them, the truth is that they do in China. AMC/Renault put a plant there in the 80's and they still build them today. Maybe they will offer them for sale here, I would buy one.
Best FeaturesTough as nails, easy to repair, reliable and those Renault style buckets have always been a favorite seat every since my renault fuego.
Worst FeaturesImport them from China, they would sell as well or better than some of the SUV's today. Interior could be more friendly and use less plastic, but the designs are over 25yrs old now, Holding up very well considering that fact.

MESA, Ariz. — More than 800 students from 34 schools around Arizona are facing off in a science competition at Arizona State University's Polytechnic Campus that will give the winning team a very special opportunity at NASA.
The students, between fifth- and eighth-graders, have been given a tall order: To come up with a way to live on the moon, said event chair Nate Dominguez.
"They have a job to come up with what they envision a lunar base would look like," he said. "The project behind the base is to mine Helium-3 out of the moon, which could be an alternative energy source."
Each group has to build models, presentation boards and mission patches, just like the ones NASA uses for each of its space missions and will be judged based on several different criterion.
"They're not only judging the physical displays, but they also ask for a seven-minute presentation," he said.
The judges of the competition are engineers from Honeywell, who have taken time off work to view the student's ideas and presentations, Dominguez said.
The competition runs for three days and began Monday, with two winning teams selected by the judges from each day.
Dominguez said the six teams left will compete against one another at the Arizona Science Center in a final round, with the final team left standing receiving a very unique prize for their efforts.
"The winner of those six teams…not only gets an on-field presentation at halftime during the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, but they also get an all-expense paid trip by the Fiesta Bowl Committee to go to NASA in Houston," Dominguez said.
That trip includes not only the students, but also their coach and parents will all get a behind-the-scenes look at NASA and the opportunity to talk with astronauts.
Even for those students who won't get the opportunity to be on the field at the Fiesta Bowl and visit Houston, Carolyn Starr, K-12 outreach coordinator at ASU's Polytechnic Campus, said the event is important to help cultivate more interest in STEM, or science, technology, engineering and mathematics in young students.
"We are the college of technology and innovation," she said. "For these students in this Mesa area, we are about bringing these students here and seeing that they can make, they can innovate and they can design."
For Keith Hughes, a retired engineer who has designed components for the International Space Station and is one of the contest judges, he said the real lesson is about learning to work in teams.
"The students are given a big problem, it's like eating an elephant one bite at a time," he said. "The only way they can get through it in the time available is to divide and conquer, each one specialize on something… that's kind of how we work in the real world."
This is the contest's 15th year. The final six teams from this week's competition will compete in the final on Feb. 22.

For 14 years, Kroger supermarkets in Savannah provided a shuttle for senior citizens in subsidized housing to shop for groceries.
That ended last month.
"We all found ourselves recently in the same boat," Charles Gilchrist told a group of representatives and residents of six subsidized senior housing sites who met Thursday at the Rose of Sharon Apartments.
Gilchrist, a Rose of Sharon resident, helped organize the meeting to seek alternative transportation.
Besides Rose of Sharon, also represented at Thursday's meeting were The Woods, The Summit, Sisters Court Apartments, Stillwell Towers and Williams Court Apartments.
"Why they did it is not as important as the fact they did it," Gilchrist said.
Lonnie Teague, services coordinator at Williams Court, pointed out the Kroger shuttle was "a service offered out of courtesy, not as an entitlement."
"The maintenance of the vehicle became overwhelming," he said. "It comes out of the bottom line."
Kroger officials made their decision after careful deliberation, said Glynn Jenkins, director of communications and public relations for the grocery group's Southeast Division.
"Kroger has provided a shuttle service to customers in Savannah for several years," he said. "Although we have discontinued this service after extensive and careful review, Kroger remains committed to serving the residents in the Savannah community."
Possible solutions discussed Thursday included approaching Chatham Area Transit's Teleride for alternative services, applying for city of Savannah grants, and seeking help from Senior Citizens Inc.
But Tim Rutherford, vice president of Senior Citizens Inc., told the group his organization has funding for only a limited number of rides each year.
Shopping falls toward the bottom of the list of priorities by the state Department of Human Resources.
"It's a frustrating topic, and nobody has a solution to it," Rutherford said.

Key Stage 3 (Years 7 - 8)
We follow the KS3 National Curriculum.
We assess our students by a combination of classwork, homework and end of term tests (Optional tests or past SATs papers, designed by the Qualification and Curriculum Development Agency).
Key Stage 4 (Years 9 - 11)
We follow the KS4 National Curriculum using the Edexcel examination board. The students currently study the linear specification of Edexcel. We assess our students by a combination of their classwork, homework and examinations. The assessment is 100% written examination.
Extra-Curricular Activities
The MAS (more able students) also go on organised Educational trips where they learn and observe the use of mathematics in a real life context. We also offer the opportunity to sit the UKMT challenge where students compete against other schools on a national scale.
Every teacher puts in a range of different in-class intervention for individual or groups of students as the need arise in order to bridge students' learning gaps and maximise students' potential.
All teachers run at least one after school or lunch time revision classes for year KS4 classes
Targeted borderline KS4 students have 1 hour after school revision one – to – one session with an external peer mentor to increase both their achievement and attainment in maths.
Teachers run controlled assessment practice sessions for students studying for their GCSE statistics.

Josie O'Leary, 28 years old, beautiful, and Pilates-toned, intends to assume her rightful place in the Hollywood pantheon, as president of a major movie studio. She plots her ascent with a commando's ruthlessness, and nothing - not an inconvenient husband, her bitchy boss, or even her complete ignorance of how movies are actually made - will stop her. When Josie stumbles across a can't-miss screenplay she recognizes it as her big chance to became a producer. Not a working-with-writers producer, or a dealing-with-boring-details producer, but an above-the-credits, seven-figure-fee producer. Someone who makes heads turn at the Ivy, who can get a call through to anyone instantly, who reads about her own life in Variety and Vanity Fair.
Neurotic New Yorker Carla Trousse moves to L.A. after everything in her life (including her living room ceiling) collapses around her. Overeducated and underemployed, Carla has no idea what to do next; she suspects she has only one real talent, for criticizing. Fortunately, that gift comes in handy at her new job as a script reader, or development girl. She's the oldest "D-girl" in her office at the absolute bottom of the movie-industry food chain, yet for the first time in years, she feels a glimmer of optimism.
When Josie's script attracts the attention of Henry Antonelli, a legendary leading man and Hollywood powerhouse, a startling revelation results in an uneasy alliance between Josie and Carla. Mutual loathing turns to grudging respect, then real friendship, as the two women discover the limits of ambition and the boundless rewards of human connection.
The Difference Between You and Me is a modern-day comedy of manners, an insider's take on Hollywood protocol and prestige. With her sly yet generous wit, DeMarco illuminates everyday annoyances and disasters that every woman will recognize - office backstabbing, why-won't-he-call frustrations, and the unsettling vacuum that can open up in the middle of the busiest life.

I dont have the budget to buy a gaming one because they are very expensive.
So I'm considering in buying an HP pavillion g6 with an AMD quad core processor (a8-4500m), 8gb of ran (ddr3), and 2gb of dedicated graphic card (it doesn't mention the type). Is it good enough for gaming? Not games like bf3 or skyrim. But more like fallout 3, GTA IV, and so on. Thank you guys a lot. Here is the link Hewlett Packard Pavilion G6-2358 Laptop (15.6 Inch, 1 TB, 8 GB, Black) in UAE | Souq

i have a Lenovo N580, mine the cheap version tho, i think they have a better upgraded version of the same computer model, one sec i'll grab u a link
This is the better version of mine. this isn't a link to buy it, just to tell you more about it, the thing that sucks about this laptop is that 1. It doesn't have a hard drive light(why? don't ask me) 2. it comes with windows 8(you might be able to buy it with windows 7)
but if you are going for a gaming lappy, the one you found would be much better

Unanswered: connecting SQL Server with oracle forms 9i/10g
Could anyone please guide me in detail to connect Oracle Forms 9i/10g with MS SQL Server database?
To connect with Oracle Database, we need to copy and paste the tnsnames.ora file from the Oracle Database folder to the Oracle Forms folder.
But how do i connect with other databases like SQL Server, MS Access, and so on?
Thanks in advance.

SQL server
From SQL server To Oracle
You have the security folder, see :
Console ROOT -> MS SQL SERVER -> servergroup -> (local) - > security - > linked server(right click here to add new linked server)
here you can connect to Oracle
if you want to query the oracle trough Sql.serv you have to use and openquery
so say you have an person table in Oracle and in the linked server you've called the linked server OrcConn your sql will look like this
An SELECT example:
SELECT * FROM OPENQUERY (OrcConn,
'SELECT Id, Name , age
From Person
where Name like ''Richard'' and id = 12')
An update Update example:
Update OPENQUERY (OrcConn,
'SELECT Id, Name , age
From Person
where Name like ''Richard'' and id = 12')
SET age =34
For a JOIN from SQL.Person to ORACLE.Person you do:
FROM OPENQUERY (OrcConn,
'SELECT Id, Name , age
From Person
where id = 12') as ORCPERSON
LEFT JOIN Person ON ORCPERSON.id = Person.Id
WHERE Person.Deleted = false
This will be "a bit slow" because you'll first query the oracle to fetch person then get it to your local level and requery the result to inner join

Thanks for the reply.
I'm afraid you've replied not for my question.
Inorder to connect the Oracle Forms Builder we need to connect to a database. So if we want to connect to a MS SQL Server database, what's the procedure to do it?
I think now my question is bit more specific.

Attending graduate school is an exciting experience, with only a small percentage of the population
successfully earning a graduate school diploma. When finished, graduate school can have a positive
influence on self-confidence and self-esteem. You'll also learn work skills that are valuable for any future
occupation or pursuit.
Thriving and Surviving Tips
Source: GraduationSource
Graduate school is an intensely challenging and uniquely rewarding experience. It is a full-time job that
requires you to hone a diverse mixture of skills while simultaneously acquiring new ones. Staying
motivated can help you realize that small progress is more important that evaluating bigger goals. The
following are 5 smart strategies to help you succeed in graduate school.
1. Focus more on learning and less on grades. Graduate programs accept the best applicants, so it
is safe to say that you have spent your undergraduate years focusing mainly on
your grades.
However, graduate school it is less about passing a test and more about critical thinking.
2. Begin Your Dissertation Research As Early As Possible. If a dissertation is required within your
graduate program, begin research as soon as possible. This will make the process less stressful
and allow you to spread the difficult data collection part of the process out over a longer period
of time. Write whenever you can and start with points that make sense to you. Remember that
the topic and even the outcome are less important than the academic exercise of completing
the thesis.
3. Stick to a fixed workday. You will always feel as if you should be working more hours, but if you
stick to a regular work schedule you will find that you can focus easier and get things done
faster. It will also enable you to turn down time-consuming requests that add little to your
4. Realize that intelligence and experience are not the same. The longer you work in a field, the
better you become at it, and the smarter you appear to those with less experience. Remember
this while you are in graduate school, and realize that someday you will be the one with more
5. Make sure not to neglect your basic needs. Basic needs that many graduate students tend to
ignore include the need for adequate sleep, exercise, a healthy diet, downtime, and fun.
Without consistently meeting these needs, the likelihood of meeting your academic
requirements is very low.
If you don't already have some great organizational skills, graduate school is definitely the time to learn
them. Otherwise, you will do a lot of extra work during the course of your degree, which has little payoff
to you.Interested in subscribing to all my site's updates? Subscribe below!

Tempe, AZ (PressExposure) July 24, 2012 -- After four (4) years Deserts Sounds Performing Arts (Desert Sounds), is showing the fruits of their labor in homes around the Greater Valley. The Jeremy Project was inspired because Jeremy worked and helped a friend continue his music education. His unselfish act gave birth to Desert Sounds, a nonprofit organization that supports our underserved children with musical instruments, classes, and the extraordinary Mariachi "Sones del Desierto" program that is unifying and bringing together diverse cultures.
During the 2012/2013 school year, the Jeremy Project will loan more than three hundred (300) low-income children musical instruments allowing them to participate in their school's band/orchestra programs. The instruments will be distributed throughout the Mesa, Gilbert, Phoenix, Chandler and the West Valley for FREE! Each year, Desert Sounds has more requests than instruments. Last year Desert Sounds provided three hundred twenty-four (324) students in sixty-eight (68) schools and eight (8) school districts with free instruments.
With cuts to school budgets, especially instrumental music programs, Desert Sounds is making a difference in our children's lives. Desert Sounds is working to build a community, who like Jeremy, will ban together to bring the instrumental musical arts to our underserved children. Parents and their children are working to help raise much needed funds for programming needs. Supporters have donated cash, and gently used instruments; highly qualified instructors, many with advanced degrees are volunteering their time to provide forty (40) children with musical mentoring and mariachi training. Together we are making a difference one child and instrument at a time.
"A huge family from around the valley was born in the heart of Tempe, AZ. At Desert Sounds we pride ourselves on communicating to the world that there is a nonstop policy within our group when it comes to "feeding the mind and soul with the gift of music." Our children regardless of economics, race, religion or belief have a home at Desert Sounds." said David Alberto Muñoz, PH. D. at Desert Sounds.
"While our organization brings the instrumental musical arts to a diverse community of children, the parents bring the culture of perseverance, discipline, and commitment to their children's life. Working together, our children are learning music, commitment and personal responsibility. Our children's music delights our senses, and melts our hearts each time we see their smiles at a performance, rehearsal or lesson." said Jennifer Crews president and founder.

The 9 things you should never say in bed
I've always said mouths are great for lots of things in bed, but the most important of them all is talking.
Second most important: knowing when to zip your lips.
There are some sex sentences that should never, ever be said - especially not in the heat of the moment. Like…
Did you just have an orgasm?
This sparks immediate paranoia because it makes us feel that we should have been noisier and more dramatic to make it obvious.
Truth is, for every person who moans and groans and makes a lot of noise, there's another person who goes deadly quiet. Silence doesn't mean it wasn't enjoyable.
If you're a woman saying this to a man, you can add extra insult points because he thinks you should be able to feel if he's fully aroused or it's all over Rover. (Is it so small, she can't tell the difference?)
You've turned me on, now you have to finish me off
Often followed by snide references to being a 'prick teaser', this is a favourite with teenagers (the whole 'blue balls' thing) but older men sometimes drag it out as well.
There are some very good reasons why this isn't on.
First up, if someone says they don't want to continue having sex, you must accept that no matter what their reasons.
It's called consent.
Forcing your partner to continue having sex simply because you aren't ready for it to finish yet, is having sex without their consent.
Second good reason: lots of people in long-term relationships agree to start having some type of sexual activity to see if they can get in mood for sex. Stimulation often leads to arousal.
If you know your partner is going to get sulky or moody or aggressive if you don't follow through, you're not going to chance it by letting them try to change your mind.
If you're aroused and your partner says, 'You know what? I'm just not up for this today. Do you mind if we stop?', the only correct answer is 'Of course!'.
Then off to the bathroom you go to DIY (or do it right there beside them, if they're up for it!)
What are you doing?
Along with 'Not like that!', disparaging comments about technique can sabotage the best sex session.
I'm all for feedback and letting your partner know what you want but there's a time, a place and a way of doing it.
Unless you've both agreed that this particular session is all about 'training' each other in what you want, you'll generally get much further talking nitty-gritty specifics out of bed.
Surprise! Come and see our new sex dungeon!
Some sex surprises are great.
Lingerie (with gift receipt), a new version of a sex toy you use all the time, a booking for a night in a sexy hotel - you won't go too wrong announcing any of these to an unsuspecting partner.
But yelling 'Surprise' as you open the front door for your partner having set the scene to re-enact their darkest sex fantasy (operative word being 'fantasy') is almost guaranteed to backfire.
Listen, suggesting anything different from the norm is usually welcomed with open arms given most of us stick to the same routine, time and time again.
But if you're really intent on keeping the surprise element, at least drop some broad, rather obvious hints about what might be in store to ensure you're on the right track.
Besides, anticipation is all part of the fun of trying something new.
Is it in yet?
A no-no for the glaringly obvious reason of insinuating he's not very big.
More than 90 per cent of men worry about their penis size - which is why this tops the list for him.
But there's an equally as ego-destroying flipside, if he says it to her.
Sure, you haven't been doing your kegel exercises that regularly but surely he can't possibly mean...
Can I just get that? Won't be a moment
Seriously, in the old days, interrupting sex to take a phone call would be something you'd see in a sitcom.
According to recent research, one in ten of us now check our phones during sex and one in five will actually take a call.
Most of us have sex for about 15 minutes per session, is it seriously that important that it can't wait a bit?
My last girlfriend never had any problems
This one's pulled out by men when she doesn't climax the way he expects her to: namely during penetration.
Only 30 per cent of women can orgasm via intercourse only (without extra stimulation of the clitoris).
It's far more likely she's one of the 70 per cent who can't, so chances are she did have 'problems', she just didn't feel comfortable enough to tell you about it.
There are a lot of reasons why women fake orgasms and being told your ex could orgasm from one thrust (really?) is one of them.
Is it me? Is that why you can't get an erection?
Contrary to public perception, men aren't sex robots that get erections on cue.
There are many, many reasons why he might not be rock hard - and him not fancying you is one of the least likely.
More likely is he's drunk, stressed or tired - or fancies you too much and is worried like mad he's not going to perform well.
Either way, making a big deal of it makes the situation worse.
What's wrong with you, you weirdo?
You don't have to agree to do everything your partner suggests but try not to use words like 'weird' and 'kinky' or suggest they 'get help' (unless of course the request really is out there, in which case go right ahead!).
You don't expect to have the same taste in everything in life and are happy to differ on food, films and fads.

He's Down 4 The Count….[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SpY_gOYWxQ]
There's no flag/touch football for the Murray boys – it's full contact. They love to play "Tackle Me" (as my nephews call it). Moments like these happen almost daily. They are constantly making each other giggle and I cannot express how much we LOVE to hear laughter filling our home. This particular instance, I was putting some laundry in the dryer and I hear this cackling in the other room. I couldn't tell if it was laughter or crying. It was so fun to walk in on my boys (Clark on Isaac) cracking each other up. I never know whether to grab the camera to capture the memory or just to stop and eat up the whole moment. I hope you're glad I caught this one….

I looked up and saw the sky and the tower
I then grasped a piece of the sky
Everything was merging together
I know it was just a dream
That's when I found myself drifting more and more
But this time it was different
I seen him in a silhouette he was destine to find me
He stood there on his horse
and is weapon in his hand
I could only see him in a silhouette
He was dressed up like a knight with his armor
He was a shadow within my dreams
we were both on two different part s of the world
I know he was looking for someone like me
And I was looking for someone like him
That's when I went for a ride
I was going around and around
As I wait for the love of my life
His shield broke
and my sword fell out of my hands
The butterflies were following us from behind
As if they were casting some kind of magical spell
I went along with it with no fear
I kept on seeing his image
but he never ever revealed himself
It was hard to reach him but I kept trying
And the butterflies were always there
He looked around I think he was also
afraid to take that leap of faith
The castle was lit with just enough light to show him the way
He kept on coming forward toward me
as he saw me looking from up above in the castle window
I moved forward as I looked out to the universe
He was still there but to shy to come forward
I knew there as some kind of cosmic connection
Time is fragile I said out loud
snow turned into spring
spring turned to summer then to fall
I looked out the window and headed back
And realized sometimes the light of two souls are there
sometimes both souls can be afraid to take the leap
because both souls have been hurt

Why is modern steel worth choosing?
Almost all of KH-KIPPER's products are made of HARDOX and STRENX steel. This is not a coincidence since both these types of steel ensure resistance and appropriate stiffness of the construction.
Almost all of KH-KIPPER's products are made of HARDOX and STRENX steel. This is not a coincidence since both these types of steel ensure resistance and appropriate stiffness of the construction. Using modern steel also involves some technical advantages as it improves material technology and production methods. Why is modern steel worth using in tipping bodies production? The answer to this question is given by the present Vice President and Production Director of KH-KIPPER company, Tomasz Biel.
Designing with the use of HARDOX and STRENX steel allows to optimize the body's own weight and increase its load capacity. Its resistance enables to use thinner steel and thus, obtain lighter constructions - says Tomasz Biel. The bodies are characterized with lower weight but without deteriorating its efficiency or safety values as well as duration of use. The use of modern materials also has an influence on time saving since the tipper is able to transport the same amount of material in a shorter period of time. In the era of growing transport costs the load capacity of vehicles is crucial – it means lower fuel cost and, in the long term, greater competitiveness of a particular company.
Using modern steel also involves ecological aspects – lower fuel consumption means lower carbon dioxide emission.
One of the lately improved products is the KH-KIPPER's hook loader. Main support elements of the device are made of SSAB company steel. In a construction where there are a lot of thinner profiles it is required to use material with the best resistance parameters. A lot of elements in this type of devices are exposed to abrasion and modern steel is highly resistant to such wear ensuring safe and long lasting operation - adds Tomasz Biel.
By using elastic properties of HARDOX steel, KH-KIPPER company has also introduced a project of a new mining body. Mining bodies are usually special construction bodies made for exceptionally difficult exploitation conditions. With high fraction material transport they are exposed to constant wear. With the new construction of the body the kinetic energy of the impact is perfectly dissipated even while loading of high fraction stones. Additional reinforcements such as cross profiles are no longer used in KH-KIPPER's bodies. Less amount or their complete absence means lower own weight of the body as well as less welded connections and therefore, smaller deformations. This, on the other hand, improves quality and lifespan of the product.
Although the STRENX steel has higher resistant parameters in comparison to other commonly used types of steel it is also very tractable. Thanks to this, it enables to design and produce elements with more complicated shapes which are better adjusted for a specific construction – adds the Vice President. For a body producer such as ourselves thinner material means less welding works, less machining and faster production whereas for the final user – cheaper product and shorter delivery period. The welding shop has less work and the steel which is stored in the factory occupies less space. To sum up, the use of high quality materials allows for a constant development of innovative solutions and the customers themselves receive better products in the same price.

Hey Guys, HDvee here! Now, over the past few months, there has been a lot of speculation on whether the fourth generation games Pokemon Diamond and Pokemon Pearl would be getting remakes in the near future. Of course this would be an incredible thing to happen, and i'm sure that most of you guys agree with me when i say that. I even made a video going over all of the hints and references In Pokemon Sun and Moon that link with the idea that Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes could be on the way, and you guys seemed to really like it! However, this isn't the only set of games that have been rumored to be having a remake in the near future.
The first generation games, Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue, have also been in the spotlight due to the unsolved questions in Pokemon Sun and Moon, all of which we'll be going over in today's video. I also know that there are a couple of Kanto easter eggs in sun and moon simply because it is the twentieth anniversary of Pokemon, but they still all help point towards the possibility of a remake. With that being said, today's video takes a look at all of the hints and references in Pokemon Sun and Moon that point towards the possibility of the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes.
I feel like i've found most of them through all the research that i've done, but if i have missed a small hint or reference then please leave it in the comment section below after watching the video, i'd love to know if you guys have come across anything! With introductions out of the way though, let's get into the video and i hope that you enjoy. Our first reference for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is at the very beginning of the seventh generation games, your character themselves. The player character in Pokémon Sun and Moon and his or her family have moved to Alola from the Kanto region. Maybe the remakes of Pokemon Red and Blue see your character move back to Kanto after finishing with the Alola region, trying to become the league champion there too, it's definitely a possibility and also boosts the idea that the first generation could indeed get remakes in the future! The second reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is the appearance of the Kanto Pokemon league champions, Red and Blue.
Now as you most likely are all aware of by now, the trainers Red and Blue from Kanto both make an appearance in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon. In order to meet these characters, you will need to make your way to the Battle Tree. However, to get to the Battle Tree you'll need to become the Champion of Alola and then head to the Poni Gauntlet through the Poni Coast. Once you get to the Poni Gauntlet you'll run into Blue and Red and they will challenge you to a battle. You have to choose which to face off against and be prepared because both are extremely strong. Starting off with Red, he has his classic team all coming in at high level sixties and so is clearly no pushover. Starting things off with a level seventy Pikachu, his team also consists of a Lapras, a Snorlax and the three kanto starters being Charizard, Venusaur and a Blastoise. These Pokemon are of course pretty tough to take down, which comes as no surprise to the legendary Pokemon trainer, Red. If you don't choose to battle Red, then you'll have to take on Blue in order to access the Battle Tree.
Blue's team isn't as high levelled as Red's team, but still consists of some pretty powerful Pokemon. All of Blue's team are level sixty five and contains the likes of Alakazam, Machamp, Aerodactyl, Exeggutor, Arcanine and a Gyarados. So as you can see, both trainers have a very formidable team and it won't be an easy task getting past them! But again, a nice little reference to Kanto seeing as two of the most iconic characters of the first generation games make an appearance in Pokemon Sun and Moon. The third reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon are what some of the NPC characters say in Heahea city. In the seventh generation games, it is said that Heahea City was formed by people who travelled in Kanto and Johto long, long ago and came together in the Alola region. As Well as this, a Sightseer in Heahea City says that he wants to document all the differences between Diglett's Tunnel in Alola and Diglett's Cave in Kanto.
Again, two clear references to Kanto, and with so many characters moving between the two regions of Kanto and Alola, it does make you wonder if maybe our own character might be going back there too someday soon. The fourth reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is the Nugget Bridge. During your playthrough of Pokemon Sun and Moon, you will come across countless characters, objects and events that all reference the Kanto region, where Pokemon obviously began. However, one of the most obvious references would have to be the Nugget Bridge. Players will see five trainers waiting on a yellow bridge at the Malie Garden, which is located to the north of Malie City.
In order to move forward, the player has to beat each one of them before finally squaring off against the trainer at the end of the bridge. Before the fight starts, the trainer will ask the player if he or she would like to join Team Rocket. After beating the trainer, the player will get a Big Nugget. What's even crazier though is the fact that all of the trainers on this bridge have the exact same Pokemon that the trainers used on the actual nugget bridge back in Kanto.
So, clearly another huge hint towards Kanto and the idea that a remake could be on it's way. The fifth reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon refers to the Power Plant back in Kanto. A poster within the Geothermal Power Plant on Blush Mountain talks about the Kanto Power Plant. It mentions some of the events in the Johto section of the series, specifically about how the loss of the Machine Part put the entire plant out of operation. It also goes on to say that the Legendary Pokémon Zapdos appeared there once. This isn't the only poster that references Kanto in Pokemon Sun and Moon.
A woman in the Hau'oli City Mall next to a poster says "Hey! Under this poster… There's nothing! Of course there's no switch, silly!", referencing the secret switch under the poster in the Rocket Game Corner that gave access to the Rocket Hideout. So, two more hints leading back to two major events that took place in the Kanto region. The sixth reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is featured in the Aether Paradise. An NPC at Aether Paradise mentions that her group is there to study how things are done there, and compares it to how things are done at the Safari Zone in Fuchsia City. Another NPC in Aether Paradise then goes on to mention that the PC Boxes for the Pokémon Storage System were developed by Bill in the Kanto region.
He adds that Bill is "apparently a real Pokémon maniac". Referring to a big character back in Kanto and again, gives us a bit more hope for remakes of Pokemon Red and Pokemon Blue. The seventh reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is to do with the seventh generation game's Professor, Professor Kukui. Professor Kukui tells the player about his travels in the Kanto region and how he challenged the Pokémon League there, again, showing more travelling between the two regions Kanto and Alola which could point towards a remake. The eighth reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon is Alolan Oak.
Through your travels in Pokemon Sun and Moon, you will meet Samson Oak who is a Pokémon researcher in Alola. He studies the regional variants of the region. He is a cousin of Professor Oak, with whom he shares a striking resemblance. Samson Oak is first met in Malie City on Ula'ula Island in Sun and Moon, when the player's Rotom Dex recognizes him. He tells the player about his research on regional variants, and asks them to come meet him in Malie Library.
A huge link towards Professor Oak, one of the biggest names in Pokemon, is always nice to see to help boost the idea of remakes for Pokemon Red and Blue. The next two references or hints for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon are quite small, and so have been bunched together for this next part. Firstly, One phrase that the player may receive from the Johto Tent at the Festival Plaza is "You better have a Burn Heal!" This line is also spoken by Blaine before his Gym battle, so a nice little reference to one of Kanto's gym leaders.
The second reference or hint is that on Route fourteen, a Hiker mentions how he once saw a Pikachu that could use Surf. Linking back to Pokemon Yellow's start up screen of Pikachu riding a surfboard, which was always fun to see. Our last reference or hint for the Pokemon Red and Blue remakes in Pokemon Sun and Moon for today's video is probably the biggest, and it is Lillie returning to Kanto. Now I can't be alone in feeling a little miffed at Lillie's heavy tease at the end of Pokémon Sun and Moon. After a long journey around Alola with the player character and having engaged in her fair share of family drama, Professor Kukai's assistant embarks for Kanto – the iconic setting for Pokémon Red, Blue and Yellow, and home to Ash Ketchum in the anime series. As well as all of the huge references to the first generation games throughout Pokemon Sun and Moon, there were also multiple questions left unanswered in Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon that all lead to Kanto such as What happens to Lillie and Lusamine after the latter's Ultra Beast-splicing encounter? Does Bill have a cure? Surely a Pokemon Red and Blue remake would tell us the answers, they can't just leave the story of one of the main characters in Pokemon Sun and Moon on a cliffhanger like they have done, and a remake would definitely help tie up all of the unanswered questions.

Dear Scott:
My husband joked the other day about how he dreamt about sleeping with another woman. But not just any woman…my sister! He thought it was funny and innocent and obviously didn't think it would bother me. He thought wrong. If he is having these thoughts even subconsciously, isn't it a form of cheating? And now I can't get the image of the two of them together out of my head. Is this something I should be upset by or not?
