The international tax team at Magnus Legal hold extensive knowledge of Norwegian taxation for both companies and individuals. We regularly assist foreign companies in establishing a business structure in Norway. We offer an assessment of the tax liability for both the company and its employees. Furthermore, we assist in the proper filing of tax returns and address the unique complexities that may arise.
Norwegian companies are subject to corporate income tax, employer's social security contribution and value added tax. In general, Norwegian companies are taxed based on their worldwide income.
Companies that are resident abroad are only subject to tax on their economic activities in Norway. All business activities in Norway or managed from Norway are generally subject to Norwegian tax, unless otherwise provided for in an applicable tax treaty. Prior to setting up a business in Norway, it is important to get an assessment of whether or not the business activities in Norway will be taxable to Norway. To this extent, if a foreign company's business is taxable in Norway, the activities will normally be subject to the same tax principles and tax rates as Norwegian companies.
If the company generates income taxable to Norway, the company is obliged to submit an annual tax return. Failure to submit an annual tax return, or a tax return providing incomplete and incorrect information, may result in additional tax and compulsory fines.
If the work is performed in Norway, the employer is obliged to deduct and pay tax in advance from the employee's salary. This will be based on information provided in the employee's tax card. This is a compulsory obligation regardless of where the salary is paid from.
More information about Value Added Tax in Norway (VAT) here. ›
If you have or have had business activity in Norway, your company will incur responsibilities related to the reporting of work, tax and insurance. As an employer your company must withhold, and pay in advance, the employees taxes and contributions to the Norwegian National Insurance Scheme, as well as the employer's contribution.
Furthermore, your company is obligated to report wages and other remuneration paid to the employees for work performed in Norway. These obligations apply irrespective of whether or not the employer or employees are tax-liable in Norway.
When you let Magnus Legal take care of your tax return, you are guaranteed a correct assessment for the Norwegian tax authorities. You do not have to worry about choosing the correct deductions or worry about recent changes in the legal regulations.
Are you liable for tax to Norway? Let Magnus Legal take care of your personal tax return. Our fee for the online service is NOK 5 125. If you choose to pay by card upon ordering the service, a discount of NOK 375 will be granted.
You have to complete and enclose the forms "Information for tax purpose" and "Power of attorney" using our ordering page. If you have any additional information that may affect your Norwegian tax assessment, please use the "notes" box to clarify.
When your tax return is completed and submitted, we will send you a copy of the documents accompanied by a drafted tax calculation. If you have any questions regarding the tax return and/or the information given, please do not hesitate to contact us. The deadline for submitting tax returns for 2018 is 30 April, 2019. We appreciate receiving all documents well ahead of this deadline.

Mental Health Care: What's Covered Under Medicare
Your mind is the most powerful part of your body. So it's not surprising that your mental health plays a big role in your overall health and well-being, too. That's why it's important to get the care you need when you aren't feeling like yourself.
Getting help for mental health may feel intimidating. But remember, you're not alone. From counseling to medication, there is treatment available to help you feel better. And, Medicare Advantage plans help cover mental health care.
In fact, some Medicare Advantage plans offer even more than what Original Medicare (Parts A and B) offers when it comes to mental health care, says Suzanne Hemp, director of clinical health services at Aetna.
"With traditional Medicare, you get what you see and that's it. No more, no less," she says. "But some Medicare Advantage plans are expanding and providing more coverage."
All Medicare Advantage plans must provide at least the same level of mental health care coverage as Original Medicare. As you might expect, coverage, costs, rules, and restrictions for mental health care will vary based on your plan, so call your plan for specific coverage details before seeking care.
Talk with a licensed Aetna representative
Monday-Friday 8am to 6pm CT
Inpatient mental health care coverage
A short-term stay in a hospital or mental health treatment center is necessary when doctors determine a person needs to be closely monitored and accurately diagnosed, have their medications adjusted or stabilized, or be monitored during an acute episode when their mental illness temporarily worsens. This is called inpatient mental health care. Both Medicare Part A and Medicare Advantage plans help cover inpatient mental health services that are received in either a psychiatric hospital (a hospital that only treats mental health patients) or a general hospital. This coverage includes:
- Your room
- Meals
- Nursing care
- Therapy or other treatment for your condition
- Lab tests
- Medications
- Other related services and supplies
Your doctor or mental health provider can determine which hospital setting you need. Depending on where you go for inpatient treatment, there may be limits to your coverage.
"With Original Medicare, as well as with Medicare Advantage plans, there is a lifetime limit on the number of inpatient days at a free-standing behavioral health facility," says Hemp.
This means if you receive care in a psychiatric hospital (rather than a general hospital), Medicare Part A and Medicare Advantage plans will only cover up to 190 days of inpatient care in your lifetime. If you use your lifetime days but need additional mental health care, your plan may cover your care at a general hospital. Call your plan for specific details about your inpatient mental health care coverage.
Outpatient mental health care coverage: providers
Outpatient mental health care is also covered by Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage with these types of health professionals:
- Psychiatrist or other doctor
- Clinical psychologist
- Clinical social worker
- Clinical nurse specialist
- Nurse practitioner
- Physician assistant
These visits typically take place in a doctor's office or health center, and are often considered counseling or therapy. Both Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage plans only cover these visits when they're provided by a health care provider who accepts the assignment. If you have a Medicare Advantage plan, it's important to go to a health care professional who's within your plan's network, or you could face paying out-of-network charges.
Hemp says it's also important to make sure the health care professional you're going to is recognized by the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS).
"A health care professional could well be within a Medicare Advantage plan's behavioral health network, but if they're not a provider type that CMS recognizes, it won't be a covered outpatient visit," she says.
A licensed mental health counselor, for example, is a type of health care professional that is not recognized by CMS.
For maximum coverage, make sure the professional you're seeing for outpatient mental health care accepts Medicare, is within your plan's network, and is recognized by CMS. If you have any questions regarding your outpatient mental health care coverage, call your plan.
Outpatient mental health care coverage: services
When you see a health care professional for outpatient mental health care, Medicare Part B and Medicare Advantage plans help cover the following services:
- One depression screening per year (must be done in a primary care doctor's office or primary care clinic that can provide follow-up treatment and referrals)
- Individual and group psychotherapy with doctors or certain other licensed professionals allowed by the state where you get the services
- Family counseling (if the main purpose is to help with your treatment)
- Testing to find out if you're getting the services you need and if your current treatment is helping you
- Psychiatric evaluation
- Medication management
- Certain prescription drugs that aren't usually "self-administered" (drugs you would normally take on your own), like some injections
- Diagnostic tests
- Partial hospitalization
- A one-time "Welcome to Medicare" preventive visit (visit includes a review of your possible risk factors for depression)
- A yearly "Wellness" visit (doctors can evaluate changes in your mental health and well-being year to year)
To find out your specific coverage for these services, call your plan.
Additional coverage with Medicare Advantage plans
When it comes to mental health care coverage, a Medicare Advantage plan can give you that extra, well, advantage.
"Case management is an incredibly valuable component of Medicare Advantage plans that you won't get with Original Medicare. You may find a community case management service with Original Medicare, but it wouldn't tie back to your health care," Hemp says.
Some Medicare Advantage plans will also cover treatment in certain intensive outpatient settings and physician-administered psychiatric medications. Remember, all Medicare Advantage plans are different, so call your plan to find out your specific mental health coverage details.
If you think you may need help for a mental health condition, you're not alone. These conditions are more common than you may think, which is why there are so many options available for mental health care. If you think you may need help with a mental health condition, talk to your doctor. Then, call your plan to understand your specific coverage so you can make the best decisions for your health.

Austin Bergstrom International Airport (ABIA) is bringing the Austin cultural experience to all who stop by. The airport, just like Austin, is currently expanding to fit the growing needs of our funky, tech-based town by adding nine new gates and updating three existing gates. The new terminal will also feature an observation deck, a Delta Sky Lounge, and Austin-based restaurants such as 24 Diner, Toy Joy's Yummi Joy, Parkside, Salvation Pizza, and more. As we (and the 150+ people who move here each day) know, Austin is a special place with its own unique culture and vibe. Everyone who visits gets to experience that funky, but updated, Austin feel in the expansion and face-lift of ABIA.
One company propelling that push forward is general contractor and construction company, Hensel Phelps Construction who has worked with ABIA since 2013. Although not Austin-born, the builder and contractor has worked hard to bring the Austin culture to our ever-expanding town and airport. The expanded terminal was inspired by Texas dance halls and the Austin Moontowers. For the past few months, Miller IDS worked with both Hensel Phelps and the Austin-based artist, Mila Sketch to bring new, vibrant and modern art to ABIA.
Hensel Phelps is proud of its Hensel Phelps Way. For them it is a collaborative approach that blends proven processes, innovative technology, and effective communication throughout every phase of the project lifecycle. Hensel Phelps worked with Austin-based, Russian-born artist Mila Sketch to bring her exciting and award winning modern- environmental art to ABIA as a continuation of the City of Austin's Art in Public Places initiative. The piece, "Urban Nature," was drawn free hand on panels and feature recognizable Austin buildings as well as futuristic buildings we could maybe see in the future. The space in front of her mural will be a rotating selection of art as selected as part of the City of Austin's Art in Public Places initiative.An incredibly accomplished artist, Sketch has produced many memorable murals you might have seen around Austin including Austin Howdy (on West 6th St), Austin Beat (at Encore Records), and These Walls Bring Us Together (between 4th and 5th streets at I-35). Sketch has also produced art for the Austin Parks Foundation, Ramen Tatsu-ya, CLIFF Bar, Google, SXSW Festival, Mazda USA, X-Games, Lifeproof and has won several awards throughout the US.
Sketch first brought her art to Miller IDS' Fine Art Specialist, Dana Burton, who took special care and 2 months to scan and color match 32 40″x 92″ panels. When the printed panels were not ready in time for their installation from another company, Miller IDS swiftly came in and printed and installed a solution using vinyl.
Phil Randel, Office Engineer for the ABIA Term/Apron Expansion and Improvements team, had this to say regarding working with Miller IDS: "Working with Miller IDS was great. Ryan Bruce and Dylan Pender did everything we needed them to do to ensure that the vinyl was installed on time and with superior quality!"
You can view and enjoy the vinyl panels in the new terminal of the airport. We look forward to getting to go on a trip and see Hensel-Phelps and Sketch's collaboration to bring more art to ABIA.

PPQ: What feature or features of Focus have been the most popular with readers?
Publisher Ray Rico: Our profiles of local unsung heroes add a special touch each issue. Also, travel stories and pets stories are popular. Finally, many of the ads are creative and follow the theme of each issue.
Rico: I did. Focus is a word that has multiple meanings and was versatile for its purpose.
PPQ: What challenge has your publication had to overcome since its inception?
Rico: Growing. We had to hire more staff and expand distribution outlets. We have an awesome crew and have implemented a side-business, managing magazine deliveries as a local service [to us and other local publications] to make distribution more effective.
PPQ: What challenge or challenges is Focus facing now?
PPQ: What challenge or challenges is Focus facing now?
Rico: We are going through a rebuild of our website and that presents new challenges with how readers will access our publication now and in the future. We have been crafting the new sites with great care and hope to expand our digital footprint more with other potential readers who have a tie back to Tennessee in either market, Memphis or Nashville.
PPQ: How has Focus changed since it was first launched?
Rico: We developed our brand and content flow. We have also developed a protocol to launch in another market. We have plans to continue to expand in the southern region over the next year.
PPQ: What one change would you like to make?
Rico: Educating people with our platform to give insight, decisions, and acceptance of real life issues.
PPQ: What has been the biggest news story or stories Focus has covered?
PPQ: What has been the biggest news story or stories Focus has covered?
Rico: A hate crimes series. It was a three-part series covering multiple markets in Tennessee. We worked with the Matthew Shepard Foundation, local and statewide law enforcement, and the DOJ.
PPQ: On the Kinsey Scale of 0-6 [exclusively straight to totally gay], how gay is your publication?
Rico: Hard 4. We purposely try to appeal to our allies too, since they do make up a great percentage of our readers.
PPQ: Do you see yourself as an "activist journalist"?
Rico: I do not. I see myself as a catalyst for sharing information and remain heavily active in the community. I'm more of an activist designer than journalist.
PPQ: What's the most surprising feedback you've received from a reader?
Rico: An LGBT youth came up to me and told me he was trans and had recently had the courage to come out to his parents. They were very confused at first but they began to read more and ask questions to learn more about their child. He told me that they love the magazine and have opened their eyes to a world where he can share experiences with them rather than his parents not having anything to do with his life. It was at a Pride event, and I had the pleasure to shake these folks' hands and tell them, "They're doing it right." I've seen them at the last two Prides, and they always come up and say hello. Their relationship with their son is so strong, and it just makes me smile telling that story.
PPQ: What advice would you give to anyone who may want to launch their own GLBT publication?
Rico: Do your homework and make sure you're creating something that is a viable solution to the needs of your community. Do it for the right reasons. Don't try to make everyone happy.
PPQ: There have been a number of publications which have either downsized their staffs or ceased operations completely. Is print media dying because of the popularity of digital media platforms?
PPQ: There have been a number of publications which have either downsized their staffs or ceased operations completely. Is print media dying because of the popularity of digital media platforms?
Rico: I think smart companies diversify their media and understand readers' trends. In our markets, it is more sustainable because of our approach to showcasing diversity — the community wants it, either in print or digital. Being smart about having a digital presence is necessary. I do feel like in the South folks like to pick up a print magazine and read it though, especially visitors and travelers who identify as LGBT. It may be more old school but our high pickup rates prove it to be true. Still, offering a strong digital presence keeps the brand relevant.

Themes for the year
The umbrella notions of border, value and border value are assigned a different subtheme each year, interlinking the otherwise independent GrensWerte projects into a programmatic whole. These year themes run from April to April. The first two thematic periods [Passage and Overhanging Fruit] concerned the almost intangible three-dimensional space that is determined by barriers and passages – and everything that hangs above them and crawls under them.
From April 2013 we will be focussing on the spiritual borders. The border will be extended into the fourth dimension. Edges will become blurred, with everything becoming more diffuse, difference being more difficult to establish. At the same time, an investigation will be carried out to determine whether differences between Germany and the Netherlands are inevitable and/or inextricably linked with each other.
Year theme 2013: Best Before
Best before is the new theme for GrensWerte: what happens when the 'best before' date passes, when we cross the 'boundaries of certainty' and when time and space expand? This year theme in fact marks the end of the Interreg IV A subsidy period for GrensWerte. Which is another reason for us to review four and a half years of GrensWerte – and to take a look into the future.
Best before is the time that remains until a specified date occurs, and which is printed on a seemingly random location on the item, forcing people to search for it: at the bottom of the item, on the lid, on the edge. It helps us in our estimations, allowing the packaging to form a judgement of the content. This year theme triggers a waste reflex. It provides an excuse to dismantle a refrigerator full of food options.
Best before urges us not to wait too long, but to enjoy the moment. It is a call to consume. It warns us not to take on more than we can, to not simply store things for no reason. What is left then – after the best before date has passed? What is the half cycle of the truth? Is our fate predestined? Is there life after death? Is cheese simply milk gone sour?
It is not possible anymore to send in new projects.
Year theme 2012: +/-
Plus or minus polarises
Plus or minus judges
Plus or minus evaluates
Plus or minus speculates
Plus or minus cancels out
Plus or minus ties together
Plus or minus balances
Plus or minus doubts
Plus or minus is tragedy
Plus or minus is comedy
Plus or minus is tragicomedy
Plus or minus is grey
Plus or minus is digital
Plus or minus is energy
Year theme 2011: Overhanging Fruit.
'Overhanging Fruit'
'Overhanging Fruit' – is a titillating image of unbridled and boundless growth. A fruitful flood from the private sphere to a public arena. A gift but also an ordeal.
'Overhanging fruit' is the forbidden fruit, a tempting and irresistible welcome from the secluded garden of Eden. As much a victory as an example of man-made borders.
'Overhanging fruit' imposes itself upon the personal space of the neighbours. Ripened and fallen fruit, but what belongs to whom?
Plucked and placed in a basket or aggressively achieved with a saw, ready for the final judgement.
My task,
Your land,
Our harvest?
Year Theme 2010: Passage
Thousands of people pass over the border between The Netherlands and Germany on a daily basis: by car, on the bus, by train, on the bike, on foot and even by air. This a routine occurrence but at the same time out of the ordinary.
This passage exchanges one strong culturally influenced space for another. Although the passenger doesn't do this consciously, the action of doing so is of great cultural and personal significance.
'Right of passage' describes the passage, the passing and the transitional ritual. The original identity (of the area) is let go, an indefinable and fragile no man's land serves as a transition from which people enter a new identity. But what are they, these new spatial identities that can be exited as well as entered? Do they become blurred by the velocity of everyday life or actually become more definable? Is there still a border, space or transitional area between identities?

"And This Too Shall Pass"
~ Rev. Addae Ama Kraba
October 19, 2014
Recently I've had conversations with a couple of women who are experiencing personal challenges that are not so mundane. I tried reassuring them that they will come out on the other side, but left wondering if they received what I offered as trite or words of wisdom.

Start-Up Business Ideas for Women in Singapore
Nov 16, 2014 | Sharon Cheong
Many aspiring businesswomen want to establish their start-up in Singapore and for good reasons. Just a few weeks ago, it was announced that Singapore has once again topped the World Bank's survey of the best countries to do business in for the ninth year in a row. This is due to the ease involved in launching a business, getting permits, paying taxes and even closing a business in the 'Lion City'.
If you're not yet sure about what exact business to open in Singapore, these ideas might help you out.
Information Technology Services
A lot of international IT firms have established their headquarters and/or branches in Singapore. This is due to the growing number of skilled IT professionals available in the country. In addition to its reliable workforce, Singapore's advanced infrastructure adequately provides the needs of IT businesses, making it a very attractive base for IT businesses.
More and more women are becoming involved in the IT industry. If you're one of them, you can try establishing a business that offers various IT consultation services to small- and medium-sized businesses, such as web development, web design and app development.
Translation Services
Singapore is well known as a melting pot of diverse cultures, with its population of almost 5 million people divided among Chinese, Indians, Malays, Caucasians, Eurasians, and Asians from various countries. Roughly 42% of its population is foreigners, making it the sixth nation with the highest ratio of foreign residents in the world. Because of this, knowledge of a foreign language would be a great skill set in this country. You can provide translation services of company documents, corporate websites, product manuals and software applications.
Human Resource Consulting Business
It goes without saying that the increasing number of companies in Singapore means a high demand for seasoned HR consultants. A lot of Singapore-based companies and Asian branches of large multinational corporations seek expert assistance on one of the most complex business challenges: finding, retaining, and rewarding the best employees. Women who have strong credentials in Human Resource Management, Industrial-Organizational Psychology, or other related fields can take advantage of this booming service industry by offering their professional HR consulting services in Singapore.
Recruitment Agency
There is a high demand for competent employees to work for companies operating in Singapore. To help the right employees find the right company to work for and vice versa, you can set up a recruitment or manpower agency in the country. All you need is an office in a strategic location, preferably in the heart of Singapore, and a few qualified staff to interview and match applicants to companies with vacancies.
As a businesswoman who wants to make a lasting business, you should come up with an idea that will not only earn high profit for a year or two, but will actually stand the test of Singaporean time. The best way to achieve this is to study the Singaporean market well and have a thoroughly-reviewed business plan before diving into the market.

Cross-Border Entrepreneurship and Economic Development in Europe's Border Regions
Edited by David Smallbone, Friederike Welter and Mirela Xheneti
Chapter 11: Public policy and cross-border entrepreneurship in EU border regions: an enabling or constraining influence?
David Smallbone and Mirela Xheneti
Cross-border entrepreneurship (CBE) refers to forms of entrepreneurial activity that cross international borders and which usually involve some form of cooperation. It offers potential benefits for regions as well as for individual enterprises. For entrepreneurs, it offers an opportunity to access new markets and sources of supply, as well as capital, labour and technology. Cross-border entrepreneurship may contribute to positive externalities on both sides of the border for regions that are typically peripheral to the core of economic activity in their national territories. In this context, cross-border entrepreneurship may be viewed as a potential asset for regional development that policy makers can actively promote. A wide range of different types of entrepreneurial activity can take place across international borders, from informal petty trading activity at one extreme to formalized joint ventures and strategic alliances between enterprises at the other. At a global level, the increasing internationalization of production systems inevitably leads to the development of cross-border operations, in forms that include subcontracting, joint ventures and franchise arrangements (Weaver, 2000). Whilst some forms may represent long-term cooperation, others may have a limited life, according to the circumstances which led to their creation. Moreover, whilst some links may be between two SMEs, others may involve some form of cooperation arrangement between SMEs and larger companies, whilst some of the simpler forms may involve individual entrepreneurs rather than businesses. Creating a policy environment to enable and facilitate productive forms of cross-border entrepreneurship may be viewed as a necessary part of the regional development strategies for these border regions

Mother's House Cleaning Service is owned and operated by Sarah Tookleen. It will be formed as a sole proprietorship. There is no compelling need to incorporate. The advantage of incorporation, limited liability, can be offset by good insurance.
Sarah Tookleen, founder and owner, has a degree in History from Alfred University. Sarah spent three of her four years in college working for a Sanitation Management cleaning service. Sanitation Management was both a residential and commercial cleaning service. Sarah worked on a cleaning crew with two other individuals. By the end of Sarah's third year she was promoted to crew manager and was responsible for coordinating the jobs for that crew, as well as all customer interactions. After college, Sarah moved from New York to Seattle where she was employed as a Manager of Immaculate Cleanception, a residential house cleaning service. Sarah managed the 23 person organization for two years. Her responsibilities included all facets of management including, hiring, training, customer service, inventory control, and purchasing. It was her experience at Immaculate Cleanception that provided Sarah with the skills and confidence to open up her own company. She decided to move Cleanly, an upscale suburb of Seattle with her husband and start her own company.
The staff will consist of Sarah working full time for MHCS. Initially Sarah will be working in both the office as well as on jobs, by the end of month two she will be working only in the office and will have hired an additional employee. Month five will see an additional two people hired, and month six will see two more hired for a total of six employees.
We will be paying our employees a competitive hourly wage, quite a bit more than minimum wage. This is calculated to attract a much higher caliber employee that is not looking for temporary employment, but a stable job environment. This is compounded by the fact that in order to make our training cost effective for us, we need this person to be a part of the company for an extended period of time, not just a few months until a better job comes along. In addition to paying an above market wage, we will be offering extensive training. This personal development will be another attraction for the high caliber employee. The need for the higher class employee is necessitated because of the upper end clients that we serve. In order to exceed the customer's expectations of our services, we need to have the right employee that has been properly trained and feels a sense of empowerment on the job.
Sarah will be paid a monthly salary. The rest of the profits will remain within the business.

Published at Tuesday, March 26th, 2019 - 07:03:50 AM. Bathrooms Design. By Natalie Lemoine.
The easiest way to add freshness, style and a relaxed ambiance into the bathroom (or any other room of your home) is by adding a potted plant or two. Indoor plants do not often require meticulous and constant care, and a light-filled bathroom with slightly damp conditions is perfect even for cool air plants or a scintillating living wall. With bathrooms going down the path of seamless indoor-outdoor interplay, it definitely is now far easier to usher in a healthy dose of natural goodness.
But don't think that a monochrome checkerboard can't perform in a modern setting. The squared shapes offer stability, giving you the freedom to pursue other decor elements that don't have such defined shapes and can really go all out on contemporary bathroom pieces!

First off, this website is the shoemaker's children.
I'm Eric, and I've been writing, editing, and working on content strategy for about 20 years. I love Oxford commas and am trying to use them more. About 99% of my work is electronic stuff like email marketing, planning out web sites, and writing web copy and blogs. I focus a lot on health care where I can, because it's the closest I can get to The Good.
Content strategy. To me this means thinking about writing and where it fits. My content strategy experience often involves helping organizations who are redesigning their websites figure out what to do with their stuff.
Copywriting and creative work. I'm a copywriter with a visual approach who likes to work closely with designers. Past projects have included writing for web, mobile and email marketing.
Blogging, content marketing, and social. I write blogs and long-form content on complex topics like health care. These pieces are SEO-optimized and positioned for social and inbound marketing. I also write my own blog.
Digital strategy. I don't love the word "digital," but it works. Working with content often puts me in the position to help out with bigger ideas. Because content is at the center of most things. That's why they call it content, I guess.
Thanks so much for visiting with me here. If you'd like to talk more, feel free to connect with me on LinkedIn.

I fully agree with this. It seems that some people hide behind an agressive ego when online. Perhaps they are making up for insecurities with their physical existence. (Sounds a bit metaphysical!!). I've only been a monk for a few months and have found it a great place to get advice, tips and information. The people I've met have always been helpful and I've (luckily) never come across the said behaviour here. I really hope this continues. The more people put into a site like this, the more they get out.

Art has a long history, in the earlier ages, back in decades art was raw, it was clear but not so clean, now art has strong roots and strong footings, people study the entire field and then pursue it as a profession. In this way there is a little room of slip-ups and more room for originality and innovation. Hand lettering is a God gifted talent, some artists are so open to experiments and tough contenders of their appointed tasks that they leave no stones unturned to get the expected and planed outcome.
Today I am unfolding before you 35+ beautiful hand lettering styles by Dimaz Fakhruddin aka Dimazfakhr, he is a talented artist from Malang, Indonesia. Look at the way the artist has given finest, natural and beautiful elements in the lettering, it seems as if he has years of experience in this field, his skill is very well executed because each of the poster is readable, understandable and vocal in the pictorial depiction.
The words are harmonized, tossing in the rhythm and not making their flow messy, words are clean and making a soft pattern altogether. You will also find motivational and eye opening quotes written in hand lettering.
I am sure it would be a great Inspiration for all those beginners who are not much familiar with the twists and turns of words and the monopoly of the lettering sentences. Do give us your feedback so to help us making our posts and collection improved and inspirational. Have a look!

God bless Linda Cohn. She tried as best as she could to get a decent interview out of Ken Griffey Jr. but he was clearly in another universe. Griffey appeared on the afternoon live SportsCenter in a promo spot for Upper Deck and Cohn asked him questions about his favorite cards growing up and thoughts on today's MLB.
Griffey's responses were… less than forthcoming. The former All-Star offered little more than one word answers as you can see in the highlights above and looked like he would rather be anywhere else on the planet. Griffey said he most wanted to be remembered for his smile.
Uhhh…. about that….

Deploy Adobe Reader 11.0.3 with ConfigMgr 2012
Another Adobe Reader patch has been released, so it's time to deploy it to your clients. This post will create a slipstreamed Adobe Reader application that will be deployed with ConfigMgr 2012. If you havn't yet switched to a slipstreamed approach with Adobe Reader, I suggest that you do it now. The process is a bit more complex than rather just deploying the .msp file to your clients. With this approach you'll not have to deal with patches not being installed in the correct order for example.
- Adobe Reader XI patches
- Create the folder structure
- Download the required files
- Create the AIP package
- Create a MST transform
- Create the Adobe Reader 11.0.3 application
Adobe Reader XI patches
Adobe uses an approach that exists of a Base installer (e.g. AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe), Quaterly patches and Security patches. The idea is that when a new version e.g. 11.0.0 is released, they call it a base release. Patches that are released quarterly (Quaterly patches) can be applied to the base installer. Security patches needs to be applied to base installers with the latest quaterly patch applied first. The below behavoir applies to when you're creating an Administrative Install Point (AIP) also called slipstreaming. It works like this:
Base release -> Quarterly patch
Base release -> Quarterly patch -> Security patch
If we turn this into release versions, these workflows will work out just fine:
11.0.0 -> 11.0.3
11.0.0 -> 11.0.1 -> 11.0.2
This will however not work:
Base release -> Quarterly patch -> Quaterly patch
Base release -> Quarterly patch -> Security patch -> Quaterly patch
If we turn this into release versions, these workflows will not work:
11.0.0 -> 11.0.1 -> 11.0.3
11.0.0 -> 11.0.1 -> 11.0.2 -> 11.0.3
So in order to create an AIP for the latest release Adobe Reader 11.0.3 (a quaterly patch), we need to follow this workflow:
11.0.0 -> 11.0.3
Create the folder structure
Create the following folder structure:
In the pictures from now on I'll be using my E: drive instead on the C: drive.
Download the required files
Download the required files and save them in C:\AdobePatch\AdobeReaderDownloads.
Create the AIP package
1. Open an elevated command prompt and browse to C:\AdobePatch\AdobeReaderDownloads.
2. Run the following command:
AdbeRdr11000_en_US.exe -nos_o"C:\AdobePatch\AdobeReaderDownloads\11.0.0" -nos_ne
3. Run the following command:
msiexec /a 11.0.0\AcroRead.msi /qb TARGETDIR=C:\AdobePatch\AIP
4. Run the following command:
msiexec /a C:\AdobePatch\AIP\AcroRead.msi /qb /p AdbeRdrUpd11003.msp TARGETDIR=C:\AdobePatch\AIP
5. Copy Setup.ini from C:\AdobePatch\AdobeReaderDownloads\11.0.0 to C:\AdobePatch\AIP.
Create a MST transform
1. Download Adobe Customization Wizard XI from here.
2. Install the application and launch it when done.
3. Click on File -> Copy Package.
4. Enter the information as in the picture below.
5. From here on you have free hands. Make any desired configuration in the menus to the left that fits your environment. When completed move on to step 6.
6. Click File -> Save Package. Give the file a name and click Save.
7. Exit Adobe Customization Wizard XI.
In C:\AdobePatch\AcrobatTransform\Adobe Reader 11.0.3 you'll now have the complete package that will be deployed to your clients with ConfigMgr 2012. Copy the contents of Adobe Reader 11.0.3 folder to your source structure on the ConfigMgr 2012 Primary Site server (or however your environment looks like). In my case it will be \\siteserver\SoftwareDistribution\AdobeReader\11_0_3.
Create the Adobe Reader 11.0.3 application
In this post I'll not cover how to create an application in ConfigMgr as I assume that you already know how to do that. What's important to point out thought is that an application with AIP source files will not be able to install "over" existing Adobe Reader installations since it's not a patch to your existing Adobe Reader installations. You'd have to create an uninstall deployment for the previous Adobe Reader installations before you deploy this Adobe Reader 11.0.3 application. On the bright side though, once you'ce adapted and deployed this type of applications (AIP), you'll only need to make use of the superseedence feature in the application model.
What's good to know though, in order to make use of the transform file AcroRead.mst in my case (that's what I named it when I saved the package in Adobe Customization Wizard XI) you need to run the following command to install the application:
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst

Excellent post but u made a mistake in last command:
msiexec /i AcroRead.msi /qn TRANSFORMS=AcroRead.mst
U forgot about "S" in transform ;>
This is fantastic!
Thank you for this.
Far more elegant then what I was doing. I didn't know you could "slipstream" the updates together. This makes deploying the update far easier.
Going to be bookmarking this!
Now that 11.0.4 is released, is it best to perform this entire process with the 11.0.4 msi and check that it superscedes the 11.0.3 Application? I've never used the superscede with adobe, especially with this deployment type.
Thank you,
Testing the update to go to Adobe Reader 11.0.4.
I used your tutorial to create a slip streamed package for 11.0.3. Worked perfectly!
I want to deploy 11.0.4 and noticed your commend regarding @Andrue's question.
You mention to set the 11.0.4 to supersede all previous versions of Adobe Reader. Are you referring to the option in the Customization under 'Install Options' > 'Remove all version of Reader'?
If we are going from 11.0.3 -> 11.0.4 do we first need to uninstall 11.0.3? I am currently testing it and receiving an error from the 11.0.4 installer that the previous version of the application needs to be removed first. If I manually uninstall 11.0.3 and install the 11.0.4 slip streamed package it goes in without an issue.
I believe you make reference to this already in your first post but I got a little confused when I saw your response to @Andrue.
When I was going from version 11.0.2 -> 11.0.3 slip streamed I wrote a powershell script that would remove 11.0.2 if it existed then install 11.0.3 slip streamed.
Hope this makes sense. Sorry for the rambling. Awesome post though regardless!!!!!
I am sure you guys already know this but I just figured I would mention it anyway.
For Adobe Reader's latest update (11.0.5) use the package that you built for Adobe Reader 11.0.4.
If you still have the original files start the tutorial from "Create the AIP package – Step 4".
I was getting an error when trying to slipstream 11.0.5 into the base Adobe Reader package. Then I realized that the 11.0.5 appears to be security update and probably doesn't contain any of the previous updates.
Issues updating Reader 11.6 Slipstreamed when using SCUP. SCCM/WSUS does not report the Adobe update as being required and therefore will not install.
Has anyone ran into this with Adobe slipstreamed AIPs? I can SCUP just fine with the base Reader 11.0.0 installer.
Perfectly! Thank you )))

BARI has worked closely with the Mayor's Office of New urban Mechanics and the 311 system examine how Bostonians contribute to the maintenance of the public spaces and infrastructure of neighborhoods—that is, custodianship in the urban commons. The project uses the requests for non-government service received by the 311 system to examine when and where people report such issues, and their motivations for doing so. This project has demonstrated that custodianship is largely hyperlocal, anchored by an individual's home, and driven by territoriality, or our innate tendency to claim and identify with spaces and objects. These insights have led to a number of implications for the design and implementation of 311 systems.

The Last iPod?July 16th, 2015
I got my first iPod in 2001, a review sample from Apple. It had all of 5GB storage, using a tiny hard drive that sometimes wouldn't survive day-to-day use before failing. While its $399 purchase price was described by many as too high, it didn't stop Mac users from buying more and more of them.
Within two years, storage had increased to 30GB if you opted for the high-end version of the third generation iPod. With the release of iTunes for Windows, the reach of the iPod expanded to tens of millions of new customers. Selling the number one music player on the planet, Apple was on the road to becoming a full-fledged consumer electronics company.
It's generally perceived that the iPod is what led to Apple become the powerhouse it is today. What with review samples from Apple, most of which you could actually keep since journalists weren't asked to send them back, and the ones I bought, I kept pretty much up to date with iPods for several years. I even purchased the original 120GB iPod Classic for my son, Grayson, in 2008. It lasted three or four years before the hard drive failed. It may have been repaired along the way, but I don't even think he has it anymore. He relies on an iPhone 5 nowadays for staying in touch with the music he wants to hear right away, and a black 2008 MacBook for the rest of his huge music library.
Indeed, the iPod has seen better days. With the release of the ultimate iPod, the iPhone, in 2007, and the iPad in 2010, more and more people choose a combo device on which to carry their mobile music libraries.
iPod sales have been on a steady decline. But the actual figures, along with those of the Apple Watch and other products, are now buried in a single category in Apple's financials, but the last time they were reported, in Apple's fiscal fourth quarter of 2014, Apple sold 2.6 million iPods, generating $410 in revenue.
That no doubt explains why the product hasn't been updated since 2012, and the iPod Classic, the direct descendant of the original with a 160GB hard drive, is no longer available.
On Tuesday, as predicted in the Mac rumor sites, Apple refreshed the iPod with a refreshed iPod touch and new colors for the nano and shuffle that are, evidently, otherwise unchanged.
Most of the changes for the latest iPod touch are internal, taking it closer in design to an iPhone 6, but with a four-inch display and without, of course, a telephone. The specs include a 64-bit A8 processor, the M8 motion co-processor, an 8 megapixel camera, and up to 128GB storage. The processor reportedly runs at a lower clock speed (it's underclocked) to save battery life.
The high-end iPod touch costs $399, same as the original iPod. It starts at $199 for 16GB, which doesn't seem to be a terribly good deal unless you don't have a large music library, or expect to depend on the cloud for your content. Remember that you can get a 4.7-inch iPhone 6 with 128GB storage for the same price on a typical subsidized wireless contract.
Of course, wireless carriers in the U.S. have been phasing out such deals, opting instead to sell or lease you the phone for a "low" monthly fee.
However, a new iPod touch means that the product will be around for at least a few more years. The one you buy today will likely be able to run iOS 13, or whatever it's called, with decent performance. The model with 128GB storage capacity is sufficient for most music libraries.
I suppose the regular iPods will also remain in the lineup for many years, without need for changes except, perhaps, to increase onboard storage as flash memory becomes cheaper. The $49 iPod shuffle still has 2GB of storage, which is barely enough, particularly when you consider that the original 5GB iPod didn't satisfy serious music lovers. I don't see why Apple couldn't boost storage of the current shuffle to even 8GB and not significantly increase the cost of making them.
Despite the fairly low sales of the iPod, it makes sense to keep the products available. Development costs for the new models were non-existent for the additional colors, and no doubt fairly low for the iPod touch. After all, Apple is using innards that are similar to the iPhone 6 series. So it's more about packaging than innovation, but that's probably more than sufficient to garner some sales, particularly from those with older versions of the iPod touch who may have felt left behind by now.
The launch of Apple Music also creates the incentive to have more devices on hand with which to play songs, so perhaps there will be some momentum for the product, at least for the short term.
Understand that I've never been much of a fan of portable music playback devices. I went through a couple of Walkman and similar devices in the early days, a portable CD player in the 1980s, and a few iPods before passing the latter off to my son. I just never got into them, and I'm not much of an earphone user either. But I'm not Apple's target audience.

In the late 1830's, one of the 'original' real estate bubbles rocked the U.S. economy. Wanton speculation in the course of westward expansion forced land prices in many areas to accelerate beyond reason. This bubble burst in 1837 causing land prices to plummet and the general economy to fall into recession. A side effect of this was the withdraw of the limited amount of hard currency in circulation. As a response private companies issued these copper tokens as a circulating medium to fill the void and also provide political and social commentary of the day.
This token portrays a Liberty Head on the obverse and is dated 1837. The reverse is inscribed 'H. Crossman / Manufacturer/ No 92 1/2 / Chatham St., N.Y.' and portrays an umbrella.

Dan Hodin provides commentary in Greater Media Newspapers article, "Know Before You Owe" by Erik J. Martin (June 21, 2016). Big changes to lending rules in the wake of the foreclosure crisis appear to be doing their job: making the cost and terms of mortgage loans and the home purchasing process much more clear to home buyers.
"Lenders are now solely liable for errors and incorrect fees, points out Daniel P. Hodin, attorney with Presidential Title, Bethesda, Maryland. 'Lenders must provide final figures, rates and terms three days before closing, giving the consumer time to review, understand, compare and correct, if necessary.'…The legislation nudged lenders and settlement services to automate estimating and closing processes in order to save time and money. 'The industry has progressed technologically and professionally,' says Presidential Title's Hodin."
Dan is Co-Chair of the firm's Real Estate practice group and founder of Presidential Title, a wholly-owned subsidiary that handles commercial and residential real estate settlements in Maryland, Virginia and the District of Columbia. Full coverage of the article, "Know Before You Owe" can be found on Greater Media Newspapers (page 10). Originally posted Paley Rothman's Blog.

So, apparently this is happening.
This is the shit. I only wish we could have done something this cool while I was at Ole Miss. The closest we got to such a social coup was when we refused to stop drinking in the Grove no matter what "policy" was instituted by the administration, but that was more second nature than anything else. But actually having hundreds of people sign on in support of having a Star Wars character become the next on-field mascot? Fucking. brilliant.
Zachary brought it to my attention yesterday that a few years back there was an Internet meme in which people added incongruous and therefore humorous captions to photos of Ackbar - not unlike the LOLcat meme with which we are all so familiar - based on his well-known "It's a trap!" scene. Lolzmiral Lolzbar. Examples include:
I decided - inspired by my blog idol Una, who recently posted about her own torrid history with school mascots - to make some of my own Ackbar creations, as a display of my undying support for this cause. I brainstormed phrases Ackbar might say from the sidelines as he shouts down bad calls, cheers for good ones and, LBO, stumbles tipsy on whiskey and coke.* Feel free to leave your suggestions in the comments.
(Bad call)
(Boring game)
*I'm sure it would only be a matter of time before people started openly referring to him as Admiral Drunkbar

In the past few years, the popularity of ADAS has soared. The spread of this technology has hit every subsection of the auto service industry, especially auto glass replacement.
Previously, we've discussed the general impact ADAS is having on the industry and presented data that shows just how fast it's growing. We next wanted to examine ADAS on a much closer level by researching which cars most commonly needed ADAS windshield replacements.
We gathered all the data we had on windshield replacements in 2016 and filtered it down to ADAS tagged replacements. We used this data to create our report that shows you the top five brands by ADAS replacements in 2016 as well the top vehicles by that same metric. It also dives deeper into each of the the top five brands, showing the top vehicles for each, and provides further analysis on the data presented.

If you own the lease of a flat you must realise that your lease is constantly decreasing in value but there is something you can do about it.
The Leasehold Reform Housing & Urban Development Act 1993 gives most leaseholders a right to extend their lease by 90 years and above the current unexpired years remaining on the lease. The following questions and answers will help you understand your rights.
Q. If I apply to the freeholder for a new lease could the freeholder say "no"?
A. If you serve a valid notice under the Act your freeholder must extend your lease.
Q. What do I do if my freeholder asks for a ridiculous high price?
A. The Act sets out the formula for the price you must pay to extend your lease – it is not for the freeholder to decide the price. If the parties cannot agree, the premium is decided by the Leasehold Valuation Tribunal.
Q. What if my freeholder increases the ground rent under the new lease?
A. After you extend your lease the ground rent will be reduced to a peppercorn which effectively means nothing.
Q. I have 85 years left on my lease can I exercise my right at a future date?
A. If there are fewer than 80 years left on your lease you will have to pay a larger premium than if you apply to extend your lease which there are 80 years or more remaining.
Q. What if I am a landlord?
A. If a tenant serves a valid notice on you, you cannot afford to ignore it – it will not go away. If you do not serve a counter notice within the stipulated time you will have to extend the tenant's lease at the price stated in the notice.

City Index was founded in 1983 and is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority. It is part of IPGL which a privately owned company that is based in the UK. This broker claims to be a leading provider of CFDs, forex and spread betting but can they prove it?
City Index uses the powerful MetaTrader 4 platform which is widely known to be a standard in this industry. On the other hand, this broker also offers the Advantage Web and Advantage Trader platforms which are less identified in the forex market. It would be better to stick with the MetaTrader 4 version as this is known to be more stable than its alternative. This merits City Index with a Platform score of 7/10.
Although the platform loaded quickly and was generally responsive, its design was a bit uninteresting and the hues weren't pleasing to the eyes. It's very obvious that they wanted the color yellow to stand out but during the test that I made, I find it too bright and tedious to become accustomed to. This warrants City Index with a Design score of 2/5.
Minimum Deposit
Opening a standard trading account with this broker doesn't require any minimum deposit but it must be ensured enough to cover the margin requirements of the planned trades. Such leniency warrants City Index with a minimum deposit score of 4/5.
Minimum Lot Size
The minimum lot size is 0.05 which lowers the need to risk more money. This also avoids limitations with the number of trades that can be opened at any given time. Such advantage warrants this broker with a Minimum Lot Size score of 4/5.
Tradable Assets
Thousands of spread betting and CFD trading markets are available at City Index and this includes currencies, commodities, indices, shares, bonds and interest rates. For forex account holders, there are 37 forex pairs which is diverse enough that is why I am giving this broker a Tradable assets score of 4/5.
People trade on forex because the profits are much more promising and because it has now become easily available online, and even more convenient to deal with currencies. This is the reason why the pip value or spread is significant because this will be the basis on how much profit will be gained out of a successful trade. With City Index, the spread on the EUR/USD currency pair is 1 pip which is highly competitive since a lower spread means a higher profitability. This rate warrants City Index a Payouts score of 9/10.
Withdrawal Time
The most common problem of forex traders today are delays in withdrawal requests. City Index claims that withdrawals are processed in a matter of 5 days but in my case it took exactly 10 days. This is a big disappointment because I anticipated my money to arrive based on the processing time that they promised but it took longer than I expected and for this I am giving them a Withdrawal Time score of 6/10.
Deposit and Withdrawal Methods
City Index accepts credit/debit cards and direct bank transfer for deposits and withdrawals. Although it was good that they support these two standard payment methods, I find it a bit limited since other brokers are able to cover more banking methods which is why I am giving them a Deposit and Withdrawal Methods score of 3/5.
Customer Support
Immediate assistance in whatever you need is a prime asset of a good broker company which is why it is important to determine how good their support team is in handling customer queries and issues. They need to be attentive, quick and well-trained.
Contacting City Index's support can be done via phone, email and live chat. I find the live chat method more convenient since I was already in front of my PC so I tested it and this is how my chat with their support agent went:
As you can see, Stephen was not very helpful in answering my queries. He claims that they do not offer any bonuses but when I tried contacting them via phone, an agent named Samantha told me that they do have such promotions. There seems to be some inconsistencies with the information that they provide to their clients and I find that really disturbing. For this I am giving City Index a Support score of 8/15.
Quoting Accuracy
I noticed a lot of slippages when I tested their platform and it is even more observable when there are quick changes in the real-time market prices. I was very disappointed to see that the prices when I placed the order and when it was executed by the broker were different. Such delays are the reasons why I am giving them a Quote Accuracy Score of 5/10.
City Index is authorised and regulated by the Financial Conduct Authority in the UK which gives traders that certain peace of mind because they know that the company is monitored by a financial authority.
I was expecting to see some great reviews about this broker when I did my research on the most active forums for forex traders but to my surprise, most of the comments were on the negative side. This was quite a revelation to me and for this reason City Index gets a Reputation score of 14/20.
Final Score: 66/100
