Audi has introduced its third-generation RS 4, and the vehicle arrives in Avant form. The
wagon is powered by the 4.2 litre V8 as found on the RS 5, with 450 hp at 8,250 rpm and 430 Nm from 4,000 to 6,000 rpm being the main numbers.
Performance figures are a 0-100 km/h time of 4.7 seconds and a governed top speed of 250 km/h, which can be increased to 280 km/h upon request. The mill is mated to a seven-speed S tronic transmission, with quattro permanent all-wheel drive – replete with self-locking crown-gear center differentialon – on call.
Going the RS route lowers the body by 20 mm, compared with the A4 Avant, with a sport suspension plus with dynamic ride control (DRC) – in which oil lines and a central valve connect diagonally-opposed pairs of shock absorbers – available as an option. The variable damping system has a choice of three settings, all selectable via Audi drive select, which comes as standard fitment.
The car also features dynamic steering, which varies its steering ratio by nearly 100% depending on the speed and which automatically countersteers slightly at the cornering limit for more precise and stable handling. Meanwhile, the ESP stabilisation system has a Sport mode and can be fully deactivated.
Exterior design cues include a matte aluminium finish for the hexagonal single-frame front grille's frame, while the honeycomb insert is done in high-gloss anthracite, and the LED daytime running lights encircling the wedge-shaped xenon plus units are arranged in a clasp-shaped pattern.
Other elements include flared wheel wells and side mirror housings/trim strips in a matte aluminium finish. At the back, items include a discrete roof spoiler and a dual exhaust system with its two oval tailpipe caps integrated into an upturned diffuser. If that's not enough, there's an optional sport exhaust system with a more voluminous sound and black caps.
The RS 4 version wears new, polished 19-inch, ten-spoke forged aluminum wheels wrapped with 265/35 series rubbers as standard. There's a 20-inch titanium-look, five-V-spoke design (with 265/30 profile tyres) as an option, along with two additional variants in the five-arm rotor design.
The brake system's calipers are painted high-gloss black, with the eight-pot units in the front sporting RS logos. As standard, the car wears 365 mm front discs, but a 380 mm carbon fibre ceramic disc system, along with six-piston calipers in anthracite gray, is an option.
The all-black interior features a mix of chrome, brushed matte aluminium and carbon for accents – the pedals, footrest, air vents, steering wheel shift paddles, MMI buttons are among those dressed in an aluminium-look finish, with RS 4-badged aluminum inserts adorning the door sill trims as well.
The standard sport seats are done in a combination of black leather and Alcantara, with bucket seats or luxurious, climate-controlled deluxe ventilated seats as an option for the car, which will be available in eight external colours when it begins shipping to customers in the fall.

Kick-off: 1630, 16/02/2020
Stadium: Emirates Stadium
TV: Sky Sports
Arsenal have a great head-to-head record versus Newcastle, winning 13 of their last 14 encounters, with seven straight home wins included in that sequence.
Mikel Arteta has made a good impression since taking charge of the Gunners and will urge his team to be on the front foot from the outset in this Premier League clash.
The Magpies are not fast starters, as a rule, so 21/20 for the hosts to be ahead at half-time and full-time is our first Arsenal vs Newcastle prediction.
A Look At Arsenal's Betting Odds
Arsenal's hopes of getting back into the top-four race have stalled during a run of four consecutive league draws since impressing in a 2-0 win over Manchester United.
However, those stalemates have come from tough trips to Crystal Palace, Chelsea and Burnley, along with a home game against high-flying Sheffield United.
The Gunners have beaten Leeds and Bournemouth in the FA Cup during the same period, so they have built up some decent momentum.
Arteta is hungry for better results, though, and declared: "We need more consistency."
Reflecting on a 0-0 draw at Burnley in difficult conditions, he added: "We were fantastic in some moments but we were so sloppy and we put ourselves in big trouble with a lot of unnecessary situations."
At least getting Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang back from suspension at Turf Moor was a boost and he scored the only goal of the game when Arsenal visited St James' Park at the start of the season.
In 10 games where the Gunners have netted first this term, Aubameyang has grabbed five of those strikes, so 23/10 for him to break the deadlock stands out from the Arsenal vs Newcastle odds.
Last Arsenal line-up: Leno, Bellerin, Mustafi, Luiz, Ozil, Guendouzi, Xhaka, Lacazette, Aubameyang, Martinelli, Saka.
Arsenal will continue to be without January recruits Cedric Soares and Pablo Mari.
Kieran Tierney will also miss out with a long-term shoulder injury, although Sead Kolasinac and Reiss Nelson could be back in contention after they both had thigh problems.
A Look At Newcastle United's Betting Odds
Newcastle will be relatively content with 12th place at this stage of the season, enjoying a seven-point cushion ahead of the bottom three.
Beating Chelsea 1-0 on Tyneside was the highlight of an eight-match unbeaten run in all competitions.
Steve Bruce has tried to instil a strong work ethic in his team, even taking a powerful line-up to Oxford for an FA Cup replay, which they won 3-2 in extra-time.
Injury issues continue to plague the Magpies, though, and Bruce commented: "The problems we have had, I've never know anything like it.
"It is quite remarkable that we have been able to battle on and they showed resilience."
Bruce will always set his sides out to be hard to beat, but only Crystal Palace have scored fewer Premier League goals than United this term.
Let's finish off our Arsenal vs Newcastle betting tips by taking 14/5 for a home win and under 2.5 goals in the game.
Last Newcastle EPL line-up: Dubravka, Clark, Lascelles, Fernandez, Yedlin, Ritchie, Hayden, Almiron, Bentaleb, Joelinton, Saint-Maximin.
Newcastle striker Joelinton is fit to take his place after recovering from a rib problem.
Dwight Gayle (hamstring) and Yoshinori Muto (hip) are back in training but unlikely to travel, while Andy Carroll (hip) remains on the sidelines along with Emil Krafth (ankle), Jetro Willems (knee), Paul Dummett, Javier Manquillo and Jonjo Shelvey (all hamstring).
Additional stats
Last result:
Burnley 0-0 ARSENAL
Oxford 2-3 NEWCASTLE (AET) – Sean Longstaff, Joelinton, Allan Saint-Maximin
Head-to-head: Newcastle 0-1 Arsenal, Arsenal 2-0 Newcastle, Newcastle 1-2 Arsenal, Newcastle 2-1 Arsenal, Arsenal 1-0 Newcastle

Chevy brought out its large array of Corvettes but the main attraction lay with the brand new Camaro, which is intended for release in 2009.
The convertible version of the Camaro was on display, showcasing the realm of possibilities the company is exploring within the next year.
The final design is not set for the convertible version, but representatives at the show confirmed that the body style is set in stone, if not for a few tweaks that will be made to meet safety regulations.

I am so excited to share my newest class with you! If you loved Quirky Characters, you are going to LOVE this one!
I have had an awesome year of studying the art of Egon Schiele…ever since I went to see his art in Vienna.
Something about his art, especially his portraits, really touched me deeply. I LOVED the way he used a variation of line, and I loved how LOOSE and free his portraits looked. Even with the distortion, and crazy colors…I fell in love! (He definitely made quirky characters before I ever did!!!)
After a year of playing with lines and unexpected color, inspired by his work…I wanted to share my love for this way of art making with you guys! Kara Bullock has been so encouraging as an artist, and I am so happy to say that I am on her creative network with this new class,
The Expressive Line
After 8+ hours of video in 26 instruction videos…it is finally ready to share!
Here's a sneak peek of the fun we will have…but there's so much more than this!
We start off simply…with the humble pencil.
Then we move on to ink…
and we play with adding color in unexpected ways…with colored pencils, artist crayons and gouache.
We will have a lesson on adding hands to portraits, as well as a whole lesson on figures…we will draw expressively, and have FUN.

Minutes and Actions of the Previous Meeting held on 11th June 2020 PDF 270 KB
Additional documents:
The Chair commented that there wasn't a list of actions from the previous meeting within the pack. C James replied that she would ensure the paper was included in the future.
With regard to minute 14 and the extra days that were needed to certify and sign off the DfT's Light Rail Recovery grant claims, A Marshall commented that there had been a discussion at the last meeting around this and the Committee had been of the opinion that days already allocated for audit work should not be used for this, additional days should be added to the Audit plan and paid for by the DfT.
RESOLVED – That the minutes of the meeting held on 11 June 2020 be agreed as an accurate record.
External Audit Progress Update PDF 148 KB
Additional documents:
G Sutton reminded Members that it had been the intention to bring the final accounts to the meeting for approval. Unfortunately this had not been possible as the South Yorkshire Pension Fund audit had not been completed and therefore EY could not complete the audit of the MCA and PTE's accounts. This was because the actuarial assumptions calculated earlier in the year could not be used due to major movements in the stock market caused by the effects of the Covid 19 pandemic.
It was proposed to hold a special meeting of the Committee, likely to be 3rd September, to review the external auditor's final set of findings and to endorse the audited statement of accounts for approval by the MCA on 21st September.
D Spiller informed the Committee that, subject to the satisfactory completion of several outstanding items which were listed within the report, it was expected that an unqualified opinion on the financial statements would be issued.
Two adjustments had been identified and these had both been agreed by management.
RESOLVED – That the Committee:
i) Note the external audit progress update.
ii) Endorse the proposal to convene a special meeting of the Audit and Standards Committee by early September in order to review the external auditor's final set of findings and to endorse the audited statement of accounts for approval by the MCA on 21st September 2020.
Internal Audit Progress Report PDF 312 KB
Additional documents:
A report was submitted which provided an update on the progress of the 2020/21 Group Internal Audit Plan.
L Mackenzie informed the Committee that the Audit Plan was put together before Covid 19 and this was the plan that progress was being tracked against. The plan would be kept under review quarterly to ensure that it was still relevant.
With regard to the additional work required to sign off the Light Rail Recovery Grants, it was noted that the DfT had commissioned their own auditors nationally to carry out that work.
There was a possibility that two extra days may still be required to certify the grant.
Members noted that 5 of the 79 days in respect of the MCA reviews had been completed and also a total of 24 of the 272 days in the joint audit plan. A full detailed breakdown of these was contained within the report.
A Marshall questioned when the Committee would see the Core Financial Controls report; this was in the report as completed but not in the pack.
L Mackenzie confirmed that the report had been completed and had been sent to officers for a management response which was still awaited.
In response to a question from Cllr Richardson, G Sutton confirmed that he would enquire as to why a response had not been received and report back to the Committee by email as soon as possible.
RESOLVED – That the Audit and Standards Committee note the progress of 2020/21 audit activity undertaken by Grant Thornton for:
SYPTE audits.
Internal Audit Report - Governance PDF 114 KB
Additional documents:
L Mackenzie presented a report which detailed the outcome of a review of the governance across the MCA and the SYPTE.
The objective of the review had been to provide an independent assessment of the design and operational effectiveness of the organisations' Governance Arrangements.
The review had focused on the following potential risk areas:
The outcome had been positive with significant assurance with some improvements required.
There was one improvement point for the MCA which was regarding the frequency the Governance Improvement Action Plan was brought to the Audit and Standards Committee to provide assurance of the progress being made against the Plan. It had been agreed that the report wold be brought to the Committee more often.
RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
Internal Audit Recommendation Tracking Report PDF 243 KB
Additional documents:
The Committee considered a report which provided an overview of the status of internal audit recommendations that were due for implementation prior to the Audit and Standards Committee meeting. The report also identified the progress made in respect of the outstanding recommendations.
The Committee noted that currently there were 19 recommendations that had not reached their due date and 8 recommendations that had reached their due date, details of these 8 recommendations and progress made against them were contained within the report. Due to the disruption caused by Covid 19 it was intended to revise these dates after consultation with officers.
Members were informed that the electronic tracking system had now been implemented and was being rolled out to individual action owners. This would give officers access to Grant Thornton's system to enable them to update their actions themselves as progress was being made.
RESOLVED – That the report be noted.
Internal Audit Annual Report PDF 545 KB
Additional documents:
The Committee considered the Internal Audit Annual Report which summarised the conclusions and key findings from internal audit work undertaken at SCR MCA during the year ended 31st March 2020 and included the Head of Internal Audit's overall opinion on SCR MCA's internal control system.
It was noted that seven Internal Audit reports had been issued during the year, these were detailed within the report. Of these, six had been issued with significant assurance with some improvement required opinions and one with partial assurance with improvement required opinion.
A Marshall commented that the Committee had only seen five of the reports, the Core Financial Controls and the Capital Programme reports had not been published and felt that this should have been reflected in the report.
L Mackenzie accepted the point and assured the Committee that although the reports had not yet been published the findings within the reports had been discussed with management and the recommendations had largely been agreed.
It was agreed that the reports would be circulated to Members as soon as possible.
It was noted that the Head of Internal Audit had given a significant assurance with some improvement required opinion to the overall adequacy and effectiveness of SCR MCA's framework of governance, risk management and control.
RESOLVED – That the Internal Audit Annual Report and Head of Internal Audit opinion be noted whilst recognising that there was still two outstanding reports to be presented to the Committee.
Additional documents:
The Committee considered a draft SCR Audit and Standards Committee work plan for 2020/21.
Members noted that the proposed meeting on 3rd September had been included and that the Governance Improvement Plan and Risk Management had been added as standing items.
The Chair suggested that, as previously discussed, a combined meeting with the Overview and Scrutiny Committee should be arranged to discuss the findings of the Bus Review.
R Jarvis agreed noting that the Bus Review's recommendations would have significant implications with regard to the organisation and that the Committee needed to review this.
The bus network was currently being propped up by government at the moment and First Group had issued a profits warning last week. There was a clear risk that the Committee needed to take on board with regard to the running of the bus network in the future.
A Marshall commented that the PTE Audit Committee also had an interest in the Bus Review as one of the recommendations had been that the PTE should be disbanded and suggested that they should be included in a joint meeting. This was agreed.
It was agreed that the Committee should review how the MCA would take forward the recommendations contained within the Bus Review.
The Committee then discussed at length the challenges and risks facing the public transport network and the importance of having sight of emerging risks. D Smith agreed to provide the Committee with a regular briefing on emerging risks.
It was noted that the Risk Register would be a standing item on future agendas and this would provide the opportunity to discuss emerging risks.
A Marshall questioned when the revised Whistleblowing and Anti-Fraud and Money Laundering policies would be brought to the Committee.
C James commented that these would be scheduled as appropriate along with other policies which were currently being updated.
RESOLVED – That:
i) The report be noted.
ii) That officers look into the possibility of arranging a joint meeting with the Overview and Scrutiny Committee and the PTE Audit Committee to discuss how the MCA would take forward the recommendations contained within the Bus Review.

As the saying goes, it's not work if you love what you do! For local foodie Sue Kemenes, food is what she loves.
Five years ago, a close friend was opening a fruit shop and Sue jumped at the chance to sell her range of homemade pasta.
"I asked whether he would sell pastas in the store, and when he said yes, I went home and ordered a pasta machine to make pasta," says Sue.
"I bought a commercial pasta machine from Melbourne, purchased 25kg of durum flour and a box of 15 dozen eggs and went to work perfecting my pasta recipe."
Specialising in fresh gourmet pasta, Sue prides herself on offering a fresh product, ready for customer to take home and cook the same day.
"I do all the flavoured pastas, gnocchi, and ravioli, cannelloni and a variety of sauces all myself."
"I use all good quality and local produce from Canberra's farmers markets; all produce is as sustainable as I can be and organic where possible from the meat to the eggs that I use.
"The beauty of making pasta is you can be traditional as well as innovative. You have the traditional pastas, but you're able to be creative and come up with your own creations," she adds.
Since starting out in 2009, Sue has had particular success at the EPIC markets – selling out every week!
"I make the same set amount each week and when I sell out, I sell out!" Sue says.
"I was approached by someone who offered to make my products at a larger scale because of how well I was doing, but I turned him down. I didn't want to lose control over the quality, and really this isn't just a business for me – it's my passion and if I can't be right in there amongst it, then it isn't the same."
Confident that it's not just a good, fresh product that has brought her success, Sue told us that having a real passion for what you do is what's truly important.
"Don't just do something because it's been thrust upon you, do it because you really love it," she points out.
"I don't think you need a piece of paper to prove that you love food. Sure you can learn how to cook and make food, but you can't teach passion!"
Speaking of teaching, after being approached by her customers who wanted to learn how to make pasta, Sue is now running her own cooking classes.
"Two years ago I started off with a few lessons and have just started them back up again this year," she said.
"We've just started running them at Majura Hall and it's been fantastic – we get together, make the pasta (and a mess!), cook it and eat it all together with a glass of wine!"
Anyone interested in the class can come and find Sue at the Farmers Market and she'll add them to her email list to keep them updated.
Sue admits that venturing out to sell her own product has come with some challenges.
"There are heaps of challenges along the way, consistently! A challenge for me sometimes is getting the produce in time – if I can't get eggs one week, I have to go and source them from somewhere else. They're essential; no eggs, no pasta!"
"My greatest challenge is probably myself – I'm continually raising the bar and looking at new ideas and recipes. I've realised sometimes I need to stop and not take on too much."
Sue's advice for managing the challenges of running your own business is simply to be organised, in particular knowing about and following set rules and regulations.
"Following the set rules and regulations is a must; it's as simple as that," she states.
"I registered my kitchen at home and follow the rules for my market stalls, and have never had any issues. It's simple; if you follow the rules you'll never have a problem."
Sue's top tips to anyone wanting to start out in the food industry:
"DO IT! The worst thing you can do is fail, and even then you can try again! When you're starting, the markets are a great way to engage with customers and get feedback, as well as a great time! It's a very friendly and personal exchange with customers.
"Personally, I didn't borrow a lot of money. Everything I borrowed, I've paid off. I have no credit, everything is paid for and I think this is the best way. It's the harder way to do it but in the end it makes it much easier. Finally, just do the best you can; how can you fail!'
And when we ask Sue about plans for the future:
"I'll keep doing it for as long as I can," she says.
"I just love what I'm doing."

What I could really do with is somewhere to easily store an OPML file of all the feeds I have ever subscribed to, to which I can quickly add new feeds. Fred Wilson wrote a good post some time ago about how he basically uses Bloglines as a "UI to an OPML file", which is a nice way of putting it. But I find Bloglines to be clunky in this regard – it's not designed primarily to edit and export OPML files, it's designed to display RSS feeds.
What I'd really like is something like a Firefox plugin with which I can right-click on an XML feed location and which then stores the feed server-side, ideally in folders which pop up when I right-click. I could then export some or all of my folders to an OPML file for use in other systems.
Does anyone know of such a thing?

Round 2 begins. 3 Amnesia Haze + 3 Trainwreck Week 1. RWDC
Nice setup
She looks a bit light. Whats your lighting look like?
Yes it seems to have started a little light. I tried out a new LED light to start the plants. They have since greened up.
Unfortunately all 5 of my Gold leafs did not make it
@Astrocreep where'd you get those pots . Been looking to do hydro but I want to do it right
This is a "super closet" system. You can get the buckets and and hardware for way cheaper. I bought this used so it was not full price. I will send you the name of a good place to start tomorrow. I have a catalog you need to check out. I don't recommend purchasing square buckets like mine the round ones are easier to spin in place. I will get back to you. Tell me what you are planning so far. Do you have a tent or a room? What size? What's your budget? Let me know I will help you not make the mistakes I did starting off.
I'm started to do a simple dwc but it does cause of pythium ( I learned from that ) but I have a tent and all that good stuff as well as lights . Budget wise nothing to extraordinary I have accesses to unlimited 5 gallon buckets. I'm thinking I could do diy version .
6 buckets rdwc is what I'm planning in a 4x4x7 tent with a 600 hps/mh light and a 300w led light .
Hydrofarm and Sunlight Supply Inc are great product catalogs to check out for parts and equipment. They are also great learning tools. In a 4 x 4 tent you will probably only want to use 4 buckets. Any more and you may not habe enough room to get in and get in and around. Keep the reservoir outside of the tent if possible to help with cooling (if you use one). You will need one good air pump or 4 average pumps. I use a water chiller because my house temp fluctuate. The water temp kept getting dangerously high. Try to keep your air pumps out of the tent too unless you are using an air conditioner. You end up pumping hot air into the water. High water temps can ruin your batch. Keep them between 68 - 72. I keep mine a little below at 65 just in case of swings. There are some really ph stable nutrients that might help you not have to ph constantly. I just started using the cutting edge line and I am shocked at how the ph stays constant with my 6 buckets and 40gallon res. I have only been using these a few weeks though.
Please let me know if I can answer any other questions you might have and definitely upload some pics as you get going even just your setup.
You can check out mine in some of my previous posts.
Good luck. Talk to you soon.

About Sarah Dineen
Sarah Dineen was born in Brewster, Massachusetts. She has attended artist residencies at the Golden Foundation, Columbia University, and the School of Visual Arts in New York. She has exhibited at PULSE New York art fair, Sideshow Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, Sidney Mishkin Galley, NYC, The Last Brucennial, NYC, Edward Hopper House Art Center and Museum, Nyack, NY, A.I.R. Gallery, Brooklyn, NY, LeRoy Neiman Gallery, NYC, Western Kentucky University, Bowling Green, KY, Cape Cod Museum of Art, Dennis, MA, and the Provincetown Art Association and Museum, Provincetown, MA. Dineen received a BFA from Montserrat College of Art in Beverly, MA and an MFA from the School of Visual Arts in New York City where she lives and works. Certain Dark Things is an ongoing series of paintings born form Pablo Neruda's Sonnet XVII. I have used this piece of writing as a still life of sorts, a place to begin and a place to pull imagery from its themes of secrecy, love, and darkness. As the series has evolved the forms have simplified, the velocity of mark making has slowed, and the idea of presence and monumentality have come to the forefront. The viewer is asked to find their own presence and their own body in relation to the presence of these large-scale forms. The forms themselves symbolize the body as a container for the self, a vast space of imagination, and pure potential. These forms also represent the self pushing out into the world on its own terms, making its own rules about how much to reveal and how much to conceal.

8:00 AM Robot Chicken Autographing Ticket Giveaway
8:00 AM AMC's The Walking Dead Autographing Ticket Giveaway
NYCC doesn't start until 10 AM on Saturday, but if you want to get in on either of these autographing sessions, plan for an early morning. The lines for these officially start forming at 7:00 AM, but I wouldn't be surprised if people show up even earlier. Assuming you can only get tickets to one, do you line up for Robot Chicken or The Walking Dead? And what do you do between 8:01 AM and 9:59 AM?
10:00 AM – 7:00 PM Celebrity Autographing and Photo-Ops
Miss getting your picture taken or your DVD signed by your favorite Hobbit/evil wizard/brother-kissing Rebel leader on Friday? You're in luck! They'll happily take your money today too!

Come here and hear announcements for what may be the best new series coming to your LCS in the months to come!
11:00 AM – 12:00 PM Kill Shakespeare: The Live Stage Reading

12:15 PM – 1:15 PM Batman: The Dark Knight Returns, Part 2
See exclusive footage of the second half of the animated Batman: The Dark Knight Returns Movie. DC Animation Legend Bruce Timm will be on hand for this one.
12:15 PM – 1:15 PM Mattypalooza
If you've got one (or more!) of mattycollector.com's subscriptions, I'm guessing you are really going to want to be here to find out what is coming down the pipe for Masters of the Universe, DC Universe, Watchmen and Ghostbusters.
12:15 PM – 1:15 PM The Big Quiz Thing
Do you always get the comic book question right whenever there's one at your local pub quiz? In that case, you might want to show up for this and clean house!
1:30 PM – 2:30 PM DC Comics – The New 52
I wonder if they'll be making a New 52 Wave 4 announcement. I also wonder at what point we'll stop calling it the "New" 52. It's been over a year now!
2:45 PM – 3:45 PM Marvel NOW!: The Avengers
It's hard to remember when Brian Michael Bendis wasn't writing The Avengers. Now that he's decided to move on to other projects, Marvel is putting two of their biggest writers on The Avengers: Rick Remender and Jonathan Hickman, who will both be on hand for this panel.
3:00 PM – 3:45 PM From Fight Club to Hell and Back

5:00 PM – 6:00 PM AMC's "The Walking Dead" Panel Event
Practically the entire cast of The Walking Dead are being interviewed by Talking Dead host Chris Hardwick. I'm not sure how you could make this more enticing. This is must-see for me.
5:15 PM – 6:15 PM DC Comics: Justice League
When the New 52 was announced, Geoff Johns and Jim Lee's Justice League was my most anticipated series. Unfortunately it hasn't lived up to the admittedly very lofty expectations I had for it, but with Lee leaving and longtime Johns collaborator Ivan Reis coming on for art duties, maybe we'll see a turnaround in the New 52's flagship title? I'm interested to hear what will be coming up for Justice League in 2013.
6:15 PM – 7:15 PM Firefly 10th Anniversary Special Event – First Look
On 11/11/12, the Science Channel will be airing a Firefly 10th Anniversary Special Event. They will be showing an exclusive preview of it at NYCC. There will also be "special surprise guests" at this panel. Maybe an appearance by Nathan Fillion? That would be awesome.
6:45 PM – 7:45 PM Saga: Sex, Drugs and Rock N' Roll
Brian K. Vaughn and Fiona Staples are going to take about their new series Saga. Why does this have to overlap with the Firefly panel?!?
7:45 PM – 8:45 PM Bleeding Cool Panel With Rich Johnston

The final draft of the Senate Farm Bill is set to legalize hemp sometime next month in September. The legalization provision within the bill would effectively reclassify it as a non-controlled substance and make it legal to cultivate and harvest. Hemp's new classification would be "agricultural commodity" and would no longer remain on the federal controlled substances list.
Hemp could return as a crop that was once a vital part of the farmer economy during WWII. When WWII ended, the desire from farmers to keep hemp vanished. This was due to the drop in demand of hemp containing items needed in WWII.
In 1970 hemp would become illegal to cultivate by the passing of the Controlled Substance Act. The act made the cultivation of both cannabis and hemp illegal. This is considered, by farmers, a case of mistaken identity. Hemp is a plant that is the same species as cannabis, but does not contain more than trace amounts of tetrahydrocannabinol (THC), which is the psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.

It's always preferable for employees work out small conflicts amongst themselves. We're not talking about sexual harassment, bullying, or major disputes where management or even HR need to be involved - but smaller day-to-day conflicts that inevitably pop up at the office.
Conflict resolution is a daily occurrence. People disagree. Most often conflict and disagreements are worked out over the course of the day, by those involved, as people work together. Differing opinions are not a bad thing; they can lead to new and fresh ideas, a new way of looking at a project, or a creative way of combining and incorporating multiple suggestions. But, when conflicts arise and it's not just an idea exchange, managers may need to get involved to return peace and harmony to the group.

And while physio does go a long way in accelerating the healing process, it should not only be employed post-injury. In fact, if you get massages on a regular basis from your physiotherapist, there is a lower risk of developing severe injuries since this treatment significantly improves your athletic performance in various ways. If you engage in sports, whether as an amateur or a professional athlete, then you should read on for a few of the ways that physio correlates with athletic performance.

Android Model-View-ViewModel Pattern
Building the Model- The Origin of the Data
Up next
The model is the core of an MVVM application. It is where the data, state and business logic of the application lives. This lesson will teach you how to how to create a model from scratch. The model is built up further throughout this course, but this will give us a solid foundation from which to start.
In this lesson you will learn:
- How to create a model from scratch in a new Android application.
- How to use a test driven approach to build your model and ensure it works as designed.
- Benefits of using Kotlin data objects for your data model classes.
You don't absolutely have to keep your test and the model class you are testing in the same package, but it's a good idea to mirror the packages generally.
In terms of the package "model", it's not important that you name the package that your models live in as model, but it helps with organization. In some applications, you may end up grouping Models, Views and ViewModels by functionality type.
For example, if you had a more fully featured app that had lots of different functionality like calculate tips, make reservations, order take out, then instead of :
You might have :
com.acme.tipcalculator.takeout, each with Models, Views and ViewModels underneath. In such a case, it's still a good practice to have the tests for each, mirror the package of the class they're testing.
Hey Eric, I am trying to build the app, but this error happens:
"Could not download asm.jar (org.ow2.asm:asm:6.0): No cached version available for offline mode"
Hi Rodrigo,
I'm not able to reproduce this, but from the error string there it looks like your Gradle build may be running in offline mode.
If you go into Preferences -> Build, Execution, Deployment -> Gradle, you should see a checkbox with the label "Offline Work", make sure that is unchecked. After you save the setting, try to rebuild the project by going to Build -> Rebuild Project.
On other thing I noticed is that, the asm dependency is used by
com.android.tools.lint:lint and
com.android.tools.build:builder, but I noticed when I build the project, the project pulls in
org.ow2.asm:asm:5.1. Sometimes when I open a project in Android Studio, a prompt says "Android Gradle Plugin Update Recommended". I would recommend against doing that for the sake of this course. When you say yes, Android Studio usually does a good job at updating dependencies, but occasionally requires manual updates to the
build.gradle files to get everything working. This may not apply to you in this case. I only mention it because I saw your version of the asm dependency is different than what I see when I build the project.
I hope this helps.
Now works.
Here what I did to fix:
1) Replaced in
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jre7:$kotlin_version"
implementation "org.jetbrains.kotlin:kotlin-stdlib-jdk7:$kotlin_version"
2) Replaced in
kotlin_version = '1.2.21'
kotlin_version = '1.3.0'
Now I am getting errors in DataBinding:
Hi Rodrigo,
It sounds like your project build.gradle files may be out of sync with the sample, but I think in this case, the data binding error you see may be resolved by removing this line
kapt "com.android.databinding:compiler:$android_plugin" from your app/build.gradle file. After that, sync your dependencies, clean and rebuild.
It's no longer required to declare that dependency explicitly after build tools plugin 3.2.0+, which I think you are using. And if you do declare it, and it doesn't match the build tools plugin you're using, it can cause errors with using data binding annotations.
Let me know if that fixes it!
Hello Eric.
I was trying to run this
RestaurantCalculatorTest.kt. But look, it is not working:
Maybe is the rounding feature.
Could you give me a hint here?
Hi Rodrigo,
It looks like you're missing a set of parentheses in your calculator, in the tipAmount calculation. I've copied the correct version here for comparison.
val tipAmount = (checkAmount * (tipPct.toDouble() / 100.0)) // <-- Notice the wrapping parens
.setScale(2, RoundingMode.HALF_UP)
You can see the reference implementation here.
I should point out that in a production app, you'd want to work with BigDecimal (not doubles and ints) when working with money, but the goal of this course was mainly to explain the MVVM pattern, so I tried to keep it simple. :-)
Thanks for watching and let me know if you have anymore questions.
Hello Eric,
A quick question on the Kotlin code, I have come with very minimal understanding on Kotlin. Here in the RestuarantCalculator class when we return the values, I just did
TipCalculation(checkAmount, tipPct, tipAmount, grandTotal) where as I see that you do
TipCalculation(checkAmount = checkAmount, tipPct = tipPct, tipAmount = tipAmount, grandTotal = grandTotal)
Is there a significance of doing this your way?
Hi Saravanan,
Your way is just fine too! I'm using a Kotlin language feature called, named arguments, to be more explicit at the call site about which arguments I'm setting. But, it's just a matter of preference.
One thing I should note, although I'm not taking advantage of it in the lesson, named parameters also allow you to provide arguments in any order from the caller. For example, the following 2 lines are equivalent, both producing a TipCalculation instance with the same values.
TipCalculation(checkAmount = checkAmount, tipPct = tipPct, tipAmount = tipAmount, grandTotal = grandTotal)
TipCalculation(grandTotal = grandTotal, tipAmount = tipAmount, tipPct = tipPct, checkAmount = checkAmount)

By Erik Hofmeister
In medicine, we have an (arguably broken) saying: see one, do one, teach one. This month, Ken, Susan, Hali, Jon, and I began work on our Martial Arts Certification for Instructors. This program, we hope, will make us better teachers. And that's important.
As soon as students are capable, I try to get them involved in teaching other students. There is a lot of evidence coming out of educational psychology that indicates people learn better in a collaborative setting, when they can both learn and teach. In fact, the lecture setup- where someone just spouts information at attentive students- is one of the least efficient means of teaching information.
I regularly learn while teaching. I distinctly remember teaching a turn in a Kyuki-Do form- the second form you ever learn- which had been a very difficult move for me to master. After teaching it, I was able to conceptualize it in a different way which made the move much easier (I still call it the hardest move you learn in Kyuki-Do before your blackbelt). If you're not learning when you're teaching, then maybe something is wrong.
I used to think that students would just know how to teach. It's not something that anyone ever taught me, so I never thought of it as a separate skill. That is, until I encountered students who needed a lot of work to develop their teaching skill. I realized that I couldn't just launch students into teaching other students- they needed more supervision. Now, I watch students teach and give them feedback to make them better. The best way to improve a skill- ANY skill, which includes teaching- is to practice it and receive feedback on your performance. I want my students to teach like they do their kata- not just adequately, but _well_.
I see students evolve all the time after teaching. Having to explain the material and demonstrate it makes them think of it in an entirely different way. I find that most students don't really start to learn a form until they teach it. Teaching students how to teach has the added benefits of expanding their skill set, allows the head instructor to effectively delegate teaching roles, and prepares the students to be instructors themselves in the future. More students teaching and learning how to teach equals good. Athens Yoshukai, the Teaching Dojo.

HÀ NỘI — Artists Nguyễn Quốc Thành and Lukas Zerbst will open their studio in Hà Nội Creativity City to the public starting this Sunday, for seven days.
Visitors can view two site-specific installations by Zerbst and Thành's explorations and the visualising process. A collaborative visual art project by the two artists, it has been curated by Bùi Kim Đĩnh and was set up in February.
Interested in spaces, myths and legends, for Thành, the city has opened new places in different dimensions of time and spaces. Zerbst's focus is on the relationship between body and space - accessibility against inaccessibility, inside and outside of a space, and space as legal vacuum.
During the open-studio time, the artists welcome the opinions of the public as well as critics. A group discussion will also be held at 3pm on July 15 at the studio, located on 15th floor, No 1 Lương Yên Street, Hà Nội.
Thành, a resident of Hà Nội, is photography, installation and performance artist, who co-founded the Nhà Sàn Collective and founded the art festival Queer Forever!
The Nhà Sàn Collective aims to build a stable structure for the growth of contemporary art in Việt Nam. Through exhibitions, projects, education and exchange, it cultivates, supports and challenges artists, creating space for new forms of expression and dialogue to thrive in the country.
Zerbst, who hails from Bremen, Germany, is a site-specific installation, performance, theatre and multimedia artist.
Curator Đĩnh is doctoral researcher in anthropology of art based in Gottingen, Germany. — VNS

1. What is a tithe?
A tithe—which just means "tenth"—is bringing the first 10 percent of a person's income back to the local church. Tithing is a principle taught through the entire Bible. When we tithe, we are expressing worship in a tangible way by putting God first in our lives.
2. Why do we give?
We believe the top competitor for our devotion to Jesus is money (Matthew 6:24). Giving allows us to demonstrate that He is more important to us than material things.
The idea of bringing the first 10 percent of our income to the Church seems overwhelming. The thing is, it doesn't matter how much or how little we make, God is faithful when we give. Giving is about training our heart to trust God at His Word.
In Malachi 3:10, the Lord says "Bring the whole tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house. Test me in this…and see if I will not throw open the floodgates of heaven and pour out so much blessing that there will not be room enough to store it."
3. Do I give on the gross or the net?
Proverbs 3:9-10 says, "Honor the Lord with your wealth, with the firstfruits of all your crops; then your barns will be filled to overflowing, and your vats will brim over with new wine."
We may not live in agricultural society any more, but the concept of firstfruits still applies. Giving the first of our income to the Lord shows that He is first in our hearts.
So when it comes to giving on the gross or the net, we have to ask ourselves: Is God first or is He not? Putting God first means putting him at the top of the list, so our gift comes off the top, or the gross, before anything else is considered.
4. Should I give on gifts or scholarships?
2 Corinthians 9:11 says we will "be enriched in every way" so we can "be generous on every occasion." For some, being enriched might come in the form of income earned for work performed. For others, God might choose to enrich you with a gift or scholarship. Putting God first means we bring the gift back to Him regardless of the way He chooses to bless us.
5. Do I need to go into debt to give?
If you are putting the Lord first with your giving, but overall you are going into debt, the problem is not the gift. The best next step is to get on a plan that brings your expenses in line with your income while still keeping God at the top of the priority list. God does not want you to borrow from your future to honor your obedience to Him today. A great next step to get to a healthy place with your finances is to attend a Financial Peace University class.
6. Can I designate my giving?
Giving is about trusting God to know better than we do and to do more with what we bring to Him than we can imagine. Retaining control by designating your giving is not fully trusting God to know better or that He will keep His promises. The opportunity to designate for specific purposes can come in the form of gifts and offerings above and beyond your percentage giving.
The mistake we make when it comes to giving is focusing on dollar amounts instead of the role giving plays in our hearts.
Giving is an overflow of the recognition of what Jesus did for us — saving us from our sin — and what He wants for us — an abundant life. When we allow Jesus to guide our giving decisions, we will always be generous to the local church, and in turn the city of Colorado Springs.

On the veranda, varnished cane chairs and small tables are strategically placed for shade and view, and gas lamps are lit as the evening falls. As the crickets emerge, punctuating conversation and drowning the mosquitoes' whine, we sit back and admire the gardens; extravagantly watered, bright with flowers, and a swimming pool discreetly curtained by manicured hedges. Light-footed bearers serve ice-cold drinks, tea, and biscuits from a linen napkin on a silver tray. Later on, as it grows dark over the hills and the heat of the day disperses, a two-tier trolley is wheeled out smoothly and silently.
"How is this done?†Hasina wonders. "Anne, do you see trolley's like this in your country? We try one in London but it is so noisy.â€
"We had one just like that in 1978,†I say. "It was the rule for all aspiring middle class households.â€
"And did the wheels squeak and rattle?†Hasina is interested.
"Almost certainly.â€
She nods. "Here, the wheels would not dare squeak.â€

Spending a weekend on one of the many tea plantations in the north-east of the country was like stepping back to an age long gone and an experience very few visitors can achieve without 'contacts'. For me, it came about - as did so many other things - because of the kindness and hospitality of the Hoque family, definitely my adopted family in Bangladesh. One day I hope to find a way to repay them... they are happy to 'star' in the book; I'm hoping they still feel that way when they'v.e read it! I hope so.

You might just find your tribe of oddballs here, like so many of us have already, and discover your confidence, strength, and flexibility along the way.

To make along story short, I told my Dad off in 1999 when he decided my then BIL was more important to him than his son, and proceeded to tell me, "Don't do anything to stop him from getting on where you work" and "Don't do anything to effect his career"; this after he nearly destroyed my career at another place we worked at (another one of "Daddy's Great Ideas"). Well, everything went to crap, and I left him and that job. I became the bad guy for leaving, and stating why to the employer. My BIL kept up with discrimination, harassment, defamation, and slander of me at the new place. I quit, and he was fired soon afterward. Again. my fault.
My Dad passed in 2006. I did not go to the funeral. Only my one sister knew the truth as to why. She made up an excuse as to why I did not go. Other family members were saying lies about why I did not go, and they still, to this day, lie about it.
Last year, that one sister, the only family member I respected and respected me back, passed away. My family then decided that I was the ONLY family member to not speak at the funeral, as, and I quote, "Everybody else will say everything about her, you will just be repeating things again." Well, I bypassed them, and when my brother tried to come up and remove me from the podium, I yelled, "And here comes the toxic control enforcer to stop me. But he does not know about my sister and I and this, that, and another thing that many people here may remember, but NO ONE ELSE knows about." My brother and I have not spoke since. My living sister has disowned me (the feeling is mutual), and my Mother was put in her place about the whole situation, as she was a major contributor to my brother and living sister's actions.
SO, long story short, I have told my remaining family off for their toxic control of me, and if they want to get back together again, they will have to follow MY rules from this point forward, which include mutual respect of each other. To date, only my Mother has signed the agreement, made her peace with me, and has done her best to treat me with the respect she would like to be treated with.
I agree wholly with what you did. Don't feel that you are a petty person or a bad person. Sometimes you just have to take the bull with diarrhea by the tail and face the situation, just like you and I did. Yes, you may feel like crap for doing what you did, but that feeling will soon pass. BELIEVE ME, not having to feel like you are trying to tap dance in a mine filed at family gatherings because you might trigger one of those poor family members that think they are better than you are is as freeing as a draft horse losing its harness and no longer pulling a heavy wagon.

Today it is cool and rainy so soup sounded good. I had everything for the soup Nazi's recipe except an apple. How much difference could the absence of an apple make in a big recipe?
So I made it anyway. It was good and I didn't miss the apple.
2 skinless chicken thighs
1 cup peeled and chopped apple
1 cup chopped carrots
1 (15 oz.) can fire roasted tomatoes
1 tbsp. dried onion flakes (I chopped up some onion)
1/4 cup raisins
1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
2 tsp. curry (I used only one)
1/4 tsp. nutmeg
3 cups chicken broth
1/3 cup long grain white rice (to be added later)
Use a 6 quart slow cooker. Place chicken thighs in bottom of cooker. Add all ingredients. I mixed the spices and lemon juice in with the broth and pour over all.
Cook on low 8 - 10 hours. At the end you can separate the meat into shreds by using two forks.
You can put the raw rice in the last 30 minutes and turn cooker to high. I chose to cook the rice separately and add near the end. (I wanted it to be fully cooked.)
This is also known as Mulligatawny (sp?) soup.

Tommy Turrentine – Tommy Turrentine (1960) {2003, Audio Fidelity Remastered, Hi-Res SACD Rip}
PS3 SACD Rip | ISO @1bit/2.8224MHz, DSD64 | FLAC Tracks @24bit/88.2kHz | Full Scans Included
Total Size: 1.73 GB (ISO) + 869 MB (FLAC) | 3% RAR Recovery
Label: Audio Fidelity | USA | Cat#: AFZ 007 | Genre: Trumpet Jazz
When he recorded this album, his lone date as a leader, trumpeter Tommy Turrentine (who was a member of Max Roach's group along with his brother, the soon-to-be famous tenor Stanley Turrentine) seemed to have a potentially great future. Unfortunately, ill health would eventually force his retirement. Turrentine's set for Time (which has been reissued on CD by Bainbridge) actually features the musicians of Roach's quintet (including brother Stanley, trombonist Julian Priester, bassist Bob Boswell, and Roach himself) plus pianist Horace Parlan. The trumpeter contributed five of the seven songs (which are joined by Horace Parlan's "Blues for J.P." and Bud Powell's "Webb City") on this fine straight-ahead hard bop set. All of the musicians play up to par and the results are swinging and fit securely into the modern mainstream of the time. ― Allmusic

Labor/May day is being celebrated in many countries today. This day is celebrated to commemorate the 1886 Haymarket affair in Chicago. This is a day dedicated especially to the labor and their rights. It is a day off and is lined with lengthy speeches and seminars talking about the rights of labor. To be honest, for many people it is just another holiday, just another reason to be in bed late till night, just another opportunity to watch the latest movies on Netflix and yeah chill too. However, not every labor is lucky enough to be celebrated and acknowledged. Yes, there is a huge faction of labor that is unpaid and not even considered labor. I am talking about the housewives.'
On this labour day please also remember the housewives who do unpaid labour from morning till evening without any fail and that too with love.
— . (@khwamkhwah) May 1, 2019
Labor of love
Women in many parts of the world contribute a greater share in the workforce at home. In some cases, they are the only workforce in a household. A housewife wakes up early in the morning before anyone else, makes sure everyone had their share of crisp hot breakfast, cleans the house, prepares the meals, makes sure the laundry is always done and goes to sleep in the end after working for the longest work hours. And a cherry on the top is the love that a housewife invests in all these tedious chores. A labor of love!
What do you do all day?
But how many of us ever recognized the roles of these housewives who play a vital role in the progress of many 'high achievers'? Not only their efforts go unnoticed but we also belittle them for their services. Many of the housewives in our households also hold higher education but due to cultural/social norms, they have to stay home and perform domestic duties. It is not an easy job as requires long working hours and varied tasks. Many housewives not only do their best in homes but also work outside the house.
Also, remember working wives who do both as house work is a basic requirement. Lucky if their partners provide help
— Raheel (@009barca) May 1, 2019
But is it the only unfortunate part? It is unacknowledged and thankless.
They say a home is a woman's empire. But how many women have the hold of their empires? Many housewives in societies like Pakistan are not even given a decent(if not equal) share in the house income; leave aside the control of their lives. The unpaid labor of love!
All women are working but few are salaried..Recognize women contribution in workforce@maneesha_bhatia @ActionAidIndia @sndeep @C9Khalid @AaiaravindKumar @SanjayKRai3 pic.twitter.com/XaT7Y5PT2S

Maybe this day is only for the paid labor. Unrecognized and unpaid labor stands no chance. Hence the housewives and their hard work stands unheard of.

'Is it just a housewife?'
As Ryshell Castleberry poetically says
Somebody asked her
You are a woman who works or is it just "housewife"?
She replied:
I work as a wife of the home, 24 hours a day…
I am a mother,
I am a woman,
I am a daughter,
I'm the alarm clock,
I'm the cook,
I'm the maid,
I am the master,
I'm the bartender,
I'm the babysitter,
I'm a nurse,
I am a manual worker,
I'm a security officer,
I'm the advisor,
I am the comforter,
I don't have a vacation,
I don't have a license for disease.
I don't have a day off,
I work day and night,
I'm on duty all the time,
I do not receive a salary and…
Even so, I often hear the phrase:
"But what do you do all day?"
On this May Day, let's take a moment to pay our respects to these domestic heroes we never bothered to thank or acknowledge. Just a minute won't hurt.

Headline #1: The dismantling of DOMA. About damn time.
Headline #2: Federer out in the second round at Wimbledon. Honestly, after Nadal lost in the first round, I stopped caring.
Headline #3: NFL star charged with murder. Is it sad that I'm no longer surprised by things like this?
Headline #4: After flawless baseline, we're good to go for IVF #2. This is the shocker. I was really expecting to go in today and learn that this cycle would be delayed. But, no. I start stims on Saturday. We got the financial part straightened out, despite not having the agreement I made over the phone in writing. Hubby and I discussed the pros and cons of transferring 3 embryos on day 3. (Hint: He's in love with the idea of triplets. Me? Not so much.)
Holy shit, this is happening. Again.

Emerging Paradigms in International Entrepreneurship
Edited by Marian V. Jones and Pavlos Dimitratos
Chapter 11: Returning to the Field in Internationalization: An Exploratory Study of Contemporary Small Firms in the Advanced Medical Products Industry
Thandiwe Phiri, Marian V. Jones and Colin Wheeler
11. Returning to the field in internationalization: an exploratory study of contemporary small firms in the advanced medical products industry Thandiwe Phiri, Marian V. Jones and Colin Wheeler INTRODUCTION It is generally held that four main groups of theoretical explanation are relevant to the study of internationalization. These are, in parsimonious categorizations, the internalization or transaction cost approach, the internationalization or network approach, the export development approach, and the resource-based view. Coviello and McAuley (1999) indicated that the internationalization of the small firm is inadequately explained by any of these approaches individually. Research on Born Globals or international new ventures which focuses on the early stages of internationalization in young firms has been particularly critical of the inadequacy of conventional theoretical approaches to explain rapid or immediate internationalization in the face of sometimes considerable resource challenges. This has led to an increased interest in the entrepreneur as a driver of internationalization, and also to a number of calls in the literature for new theories, or for a useful integration of key concepts from traditional theories. To that end, the imperatives are: to return to the theories and re-examine their constructs, logic and implications; and to return to the field and re-examine internationalization as it occurs in firms, and as experienced by entrepreneurs or managers in a contemporary context. This chapter concentrates on the latter and reports the findings from an exploratory empirical study of small firms in the advanced medical products industry in central Scotland at the turn of the...

Maintaining your gutters is an important part of maintaining your home. The team at Elite Power Washing can help you give your Pensacola FL 32501 home the maintenance it needs. Our team is trained to give your home the excellent care it deserves.
Importance of Gutter Cleaning
Forgetting to take care of the gutters of your home can lead to a variety of problems. In Florida, we get a lot of rain. Dirt, leaves, and debris can accumulate in your gutters. The gutters will stop draining water away from your home. When the gutters clog rainwater can back up and get under your shingles and fascia. This can cause leaks and rot. Mold starts to develop which can become a health hazard and it becomes a breeding ground for insects.
When the water runs over the gutters it can cause water to accumulate around your home. This can lead to cracks in your foundation and erode the soil that is around landscaping. Clogged gutters can lead to a variety of problems for your home.
How to Find Us
We serve the Pensacola FL 32501 area as well as surrounding areas such as zip codes 32501, 32503, 32505, 32520, 32523

Customer Reviews
The other attachments without vacuum just don't work for areas like cup holders in the car, or cracks and crevices around the kitchen, etc. These are great for all those hard to reach areas. Fits perfectly fine on our vacuum.
I honestly bought this on a whim because I vacuum every surface in my home. Then my husband dropped 1/2 pound of ground coffee in the kitchen. Wow. This saved at least an hour of cleaning time because I could just stick the flexible straws between and around the items on the countertops and in the drawers. And then I just threw it in the sink and cleaned it up! Cool. Genius cool.

Did you know that since 2013, Americans have lost over $20 Million to tax scams? Small and medium businesses can fall victim to these scammers. Here's how you can prevent it from happening to you, your colleagues and your employees.
The IRS estimates that the public will have lost $21 billion (with a B!) to tax return fraud and identity theft by 2016. In the past, scammers targeted immigrants and the elderly almost exclusively, but these days they target everyone. As technology has advanced, so have their schemes.
How the Scams Work
Scammers reach out to their victims through email and over the phone. They represent themselves as IRS agents and angrily threaten their victims with arrest or business closure if they don't pay up. The scammers research their targets on social media sites such as Facebook and LinkedIn to add personal details to their scam.
Even hardened IT guys like me get these types of emails (see below).
This is an IRS email scam. The email looks like it's from IRS.gov but it's actually from a suddenlink.net address. The grammar is also very poor.
So what are these scammers after? They either want a quick payout or access to your private information. If the scammers are after money, they will ask for unconventional payments, such as untraceable Western Union payments or MoneyPak (or similar) payment cards. Scammers looking to steal your identity will want access to your personal information, such as Social Security Number, so that they can file a false income tax return in your name.
Don't Let It Happen to You
You can protect yourself and your business from these types of scams with some basic security.
#1: Individuals and businesses should NEVER respond to emails or phone calls claiming to be from the IRS.
If you receive an email purporting to be from the IRS, you can safely delete it. The IRS will never send unsolicited emails about your taxes. Even if you owe taxes, the IRS will always mail you a bill through the US Postal Service and will always offer the ability to appeal.
Phone scammers will demand payment immediately through Western Union or money order/debt card. Some scammers will even demand payment in Amazon.com gift cards. This is a huge red flag as the IRS would never ask for or accept these types of payment.
Train your employees to forward any suspicious calls or emails to the accounting or IT department for verification.
#2: To prevent identity theft, individuals and businesses should carefully guard their SSN or TID numbers and their IRS PIN.
Never give them out to anyone.
It's also a good idea to create an IRS account in your name to prevent others from creating a fake account (please note that IRS websites should always have irs.gov in the address. If you see anything other than .gov, it's a scam site).
#3: To prevent scammers from gathering information about you, be careful what details you post about yourself or your company online.
For example, if you post about your pets on Facebook, never use your pet's name as a security question.
To add an additional layer of social media protection, make sure you lock down your profile to only trusted friends. You can see what your profile looks like to the public at this Facebook link. Change your Facebook, LinkedIn, Twitter and other social media privacy settings to private.

Newt Gingrich weighs in on Trump comparing impeachment to 'lynching': He 'uses words more clumsily than he should'
The Former House Speaker has been a longtime supporter of President Trump.
Former House Speaker Newt Gingrich seemed to defend President Donald Trump on "The View" on Tuesday hours after the president compared the impeachment process against him to a "lynching."
Trump took to Twitter on Tuesday morning to voice his disapproval of the impeachment inquiry, writing, "So some day, if a Democrat becomes President and the Republicans win the House, even by a tiny margin, they can impeach the President, without due process or fairness or any legal rights. All Republicans must remember what they are witnessing here - a lynching. But we will WIN!"
While guest co-hosting for "The View," Gingrich spoke about the tweet.
"It's exactly the same term that Clarence Thomas used," Gingrich said, referring to the Supreme Court justice's response to Anita Hill's accusations of sexual harassment against Thomas in 1991, in which he complained the questioning during his nomination process was "high-tech lynching for uppity blacks."
"[Trump was] beaten out for over two years with the Mueller thing," Gingrich continued. "You start to relax. All of a sudden there's this whole new wave of things, and I think part of what you have is a guy here who's just really deeply frustrated that no matter where he turns, you know, the fight keeps going on."
After calling Trump a "very important historic figure," Gingrich noted that "there are things that he does that make it all harder" for him to be in office.
"If he were more disciplined, he would actually have a much easier road than he does," Gingrich said. "He sort of chews up his own road as he goes down it."
Sunny Hostin grilled Gingrich about the racial connotation that comes with the term "lynching" and asked if he thought it was racially charged to use the word. Gingrich began his response by saying it was going to be "very politically incorrect."
"Most of the early American movies on lynching were about lynching white people," Gingrich said. "One of the largest lynchings of the 19th century was Italians. So, there is a tradition here. It's not only about black experience."
When Whoopi Goldberg followed up on the question, asking if it was necessary for the term to be used at all, Gingrich said "it wasn't." Trump, he said, "often uses words more clumsily than he should."
"I've been comfortable just calling it a witch hunt and a kangaroo court and things like that," Gingrich said of the impeachment inquiry into Trump. "I haven't gone up to that next level."
Gingrich, a Republican from Georgia, served as speaker of the House from 1995 to 1999, during which he successfully helped lead Republican efforts to impeach then-President Bill Clinton.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi launched an official impeachment inquiry into President Trump in September. As someone who's been down the road to impeachment, Gingrich was asked by Abby Huntsman to share his thoughts about how the process is being handled.
"I think had Speaker Pelosi referred the Ukrainian phone call to a special counsel, they could do a lot of things," he said. "Today, the White House doesn't have a lawyer in these hearings. Secretary [Mike] Pompeo has staff going into a hearing, has no lawyer there, has no idea what they're saying."
Gingrich concluded that he wouldn't take the same steps Pelosi has made in the impeachment inquiry so far because Pelosi "has no referral that says [Trump's] guilty of anything." He said she isn't "following rules that are fair" as to "allow the person being accused to face their accuser." Whistleblowers are protected by law against retaliation for lawfully filing a complaint for wrongdoing.
Pelosi and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff defended their impeachment probe on Oct. 15.
"I'm not concerned about anything," Pelosi said. Republicans "can't defend the president so they're going to process."
"We're not here to call bluffs. We're here to find the truth," she added. "This is not a game for us. This is deadly serious."
Editor's Note: This article has been updated to include the correct quote from Justice Clarence Thomas, which was misquoted by Newt Gingrich.
