Many sufferers with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) had 2 ore extra unhealthy way of life elements, thus implying a fancy relationship between these elements and illness affect, in response to a examine revealed in Springer.1
“It is very important do not forget that way of life habits are modifiable danger elements,” said investigators. “Nevertheless, altering them is understood to be a problem for everybody, doubtlessly affecting high quality of life. The upper the variety of unhealthy way of life habits, the larger the problem, in response to folks dwelling with RA, who should additionally cope with the signs of dwelling with a persistent inflammatory illness.”
On this cross-sectional examine, individuals from 2 Scandinavian nations, Denmark (n = 289) and Sweden (n = 955), had been analyzed to find out the affect unhealthy way of life elements had on illness affect. Investigators targeted on smoking, physique mass index (BMI), bodily exercise, and alcohol consumption and had been categorized as wholesome vs unhealthy. Swedish participant information was taken from the Higher Anti-Rheumatic Pharmacotherapy (BARFOT) and Danish information was retrieved from the Danish Hospital for Rheumatic Illnesses. Each nations deal with sufferers with RA primarily based on the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR).
Wholesome bodily exercise was outlined as a minimum of 150 minutes of train per week. Alcohol consumption was analyzed primarily based on being both above or under every nation’s advisable restrict. Smoking habits had been primarily based on tobacco use or the absence of it. Illness exercise was decided by the Well being Evaluation Questionnaire (HAQ), EurolQol-5 Dimensions (EQ-5D), the visible analogue scale (VAS) in Denmark, and the numeric score scale (NRS) in Sweden.
Within the Danish cohort, 95% of individuals self-reported a minimum of 1 unhealthy way of life issue, and 66% had 2 or extra, in contrast with 82% and 47%, respectively, in Swedish individuals. The commonest elements had been a scarcity of bodily exercise and being chubby or overweight. Within the Danish group, 63% had been chubby or overweight and 84% didn’t obtain the advisable bodily exercise, in contrast with 54% and 52%, respectively, within the Swedish cohort.
In each cohorts, the ladies had been each considerably youthful and reported worse fatigue and performance in contrast with the boys. Equally, males in each cohorts had been linked to an elevated danger of exhibiting 2 or extra unhealthy way of life elements (Denmark: OR 1.86, 95% CI 1.21–2.85; and Sweden: OR 1.42, 95% CI 1.07–1.89). Within the Danish cohort, heart problems (CVD) (OR 1.90, 95% CI 1.28–2.82) and illness length (OR 0.97, 95% CI 0.95–0.99) had been related to 2 or extra unhealthy way of life selections. Within the Swedish cohort, individuals with 2 or extra unhealthy way of life elements had been linked to worse HRQoL (EQ5D-3L, p = 0.001) and worse bodily perform (p < 0.001) in comparison with these with no unhealthy elements.
Effectively-defined teams, with a broad perspective on way of life elements, strengthened the examine. Nevertheless, the small pattern dimension each restricted the variety of sufferers that may very well be categorized as having none or all 4 habits and will have affected generalizability. Nevertheless, sufferers with rheumatoid arthritis are traditionally extra more likely to be chubby or overweight and fewer bodily lively in comparison with the final inhabitants. Moreover, whereas BMI was the issue that categorized sufferers as wholesome or unhealthy, rheumatoid arthritis will increase the probability of cachexia, which may result in misclassification of some sufferers. Lastly, the self-reported nature of the information could have led to some inaccuracy.
“Along with the burden of dwelling with long-standing illness, a big proportion of the sufferers in our two RA cohorts reported multiple unhealthy, however modifiable way of life issue of significance for the danger for CVD,” investigators concluded. “Our examine helps that well being professionals in rheumatology have to assist wholesome way of life modifications in sufferers with RA and with a particular give attention to males and bodily exercise and dietary interventions.”

Ontario Broadband Strategy, Excess Soil Regulations (Webinar), and Planning Act Delegations
Ontario Broadband Strategy
Today, the Ministry of Infrastructure announced the next steps in Ontario’s nearly $4 billion plan to connect all Ontario residents to high-speed internet by 2025. Infrastructure Ontario (IO) has posted its Request for Proposal (RFP) document and the next steps for allowing pre-qualified Internet Service Providers (ISPs) to bid on broadband projects. Ontario’s plan includes significant provincial funding for internet and cellular connectivity projects as well as measures to expedite deployment of broadband technologies. Better broadband connectivity has consistently been a priority for municipal governments and AMO. The government’s strong commitment and substantial funding delivers on this for Ontario residents.
Prequalified ISPs will be able to submit plans through a RFP to IO. Subsequently, the ISPs will also bid on predetermined areas for their projects through a “Reverse Auction” to propose project costs and needed provincial funding to connect designated areas. It is anticipated that projects will begin implementation in Spring 2022.
In addition to this announcement, AMO understands that the Ministry has written to affected municipal councils and staff as well as published Guidelines for municipal governments, LDCs, and ISPs to help set expectations on how they will interact during project construction. AMO understands that the government will also propose future policy changes to expedite broadband projects, potentially including cost assignments where access delays or inaccurate information affect projects. In addition, it is planned that IO will offer a dedicated Technical Assistance Team to help municipalities and project proponents complete projects on time.
Finally, regulations have been filed for comment under the Ontario Energy Board Act (OEBA) which will allow ISPs to connect to hydro pole infrastructure as necessary to complete broadband connectivity projects and allow the Ontario Energy Board (OEB) to set a different price for hydro pole access than currently required. This is in response to hydro pole access costs which have frequently been identified as a barrier to broadband deployment.
The Ministry will be hosting a webinar in early 2022 on the Statement of Intent and the Guideline. AMO will provide details on how to register as information becomes available.
Excess Soil Regulations – Webinar Friday
Significant parts of the On-Site and Excess Soil Management Regulation (O. Reg 406/19) are scheduled to come into effect on January 1, 2022. To help explain these changes, AMO will be joined by the Ministry of the Environment, Conservation and Parks and the Resource Productivity Resource Authority (RPRA) for a webinar on Friday, December 3rd, 2021 from 1:00-2:30pm. Click here for registration details.
This will be an opportunity to ask the experts directly about the municipal implications of the changing excess soil regulation and to hear about the Registry that was launched today.
Planning Act Delegations
Schedule 19 of Bill 13, Supporting People and Businesses Act, 2021 proposes to make changes to the Planning Act, Municipal Act, 2001, and the City of Toronto Act, 2006. If passed, the proposed amendments would expand the matters that the council of a local municipality may delegate to help streamline planning decisions. Delegating decisions would include temporary use by-laws, the lifting of holding symbols, and other minor zoning by-law amendments. It will be up to each municipality to determine whether to exercise this proposed new authority and the types of decisions to delegate. The proposed delegation of additional planning matters would not alter any notice or public meeting requirements or limit appeal rights.
AMO’s COVID-19 Resources page is being updated continually so you can find critical information in one place. Please send any of your municipally related pandemic questions to firstname.lastname@example.org.

Israel Rejects Effort To Limit Access to Court
Israel’s Ministerial Committee on Legislation decided on Sunday not to back a bill that would limit public access to High Court petitions, sponsored by MKs Danny Danon and Yariv Levin from the Likud. All of the ministers voted against the bill.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier Sunday that he would defend Israel’s courts but that there were certain distortions that need to be fixed.
“The state of Israel was founded as a Jewish and democratic state,” Netanyahu said at the start of the weekly cabinet meeting. “Israeli democracy is strong but that strength does not exempt us from acting to preserve it.”
In explaining their bill to limit High Court petitions, Levin and Danon wrote earlier this week that there was a need “to set criteria that balance the use of this critical tool, using parameters to assure the soundness of the process and to preserve the link between the alleged harm and the identity of the petitioner.”
Under the bill, human rights groups not registered in Israel and whose main activities are not in Israel would not be permitted to petition the High Court. Nor would a group be allowed to file a petition over a wrong ostensibly being done to someone, unless that individual himself petitioned the court as well.
Petitions of a general nature would only be permitted regarding issues of substantial constitutional import to the conduct of government, or if the harm that might be done to the public is substantial and palpable.
Moreover, any group who files such a public petition and accepts donations from abroad, would be required to report its funding sources to the court, to prevent the “irrelevant motives of interested or hostile groups” from getting a hearing under the guise of a public petition.

The Ukrainian crisis once again confirmed the necessity of further diversification of energy supplies to Europe, Italian Deputy Economic Development Minister Claudio De Vincenti said separately.
During the previous round of trilateral gas talks, held in October, Russia and Ukraine agreed on a gas price for Kiev, its redemption of part of its debt and prepayments for gas supplies through this winter season. A new agreement has to be signed for gas giant Gazprom to supply gas to Ukraine after winter ends.

Scientists at a BP-sponsored laboratory are searching for breakthroughs that could make heavy oil recovery more efficient - and therefore less greenhouse gas intensive
By some estimates heavy oil could account for 70% of the not-yet-tapped oil resources in the world. So one of the big questions facing BP and our industry as we work to meet rising global energy demand is how to responsibly recover these resources. Heavy oils such as bitumen or oil sands are very thick or even solid in form, which means they do not flow as freely to the surface as lighter crude oils – if at all. Some effective methods already exist for their recovery, but these tend to involve higher costs than conventional oil production and can require more energy.
What researchers are aiming to discover
BP is funding a new heavy oil research laboratory at the University of Surrey in the UK. Staff at the BP Centre for Petroleum and Surface Chemistry, which officially opened in 2013, are studying the chemical composition of viscous crude oils and experimenting with new or enhanced methods for recovering them. Chris West, BP Vice President Heavy Oil, says: “We need the expertise of the staff at the centre to help us develop ways to make heavy oil recovery more efficient. More efficient recovery means less energy cost for every barrel of oil produced and fewer greenhouse gas emissions.”
Designing a new steam technology
With our partners in our Canadian oil sands joint ventures we plan to use a steam-assisted method to heat up the heavy oil and reduce its viscosity, which allows it to flow. It is an effective method, but we believe the approach can be further improved as new techniques emerge and mature. “To produce oil with steam takes energy in the form of fuel gas,” says West. “We’re interested in making that process as efficient and effective as we can – and that’s what the heavy oil research lab is focused on.” A promising technology that is being tested and refined in the lab is BP Designer Steam™, which will use carefully selected chemical additives to improve the recovery rates of steam-based thermal methods. We see a valuable potential for this technology in our oil sands production activity, because the increased efficiency could reduce the amount of energy needed to recover each barrel of oil. We hope to be ready to apply this technology at our Canadian oil sands assets within two or three years of a successful trial.

Title: Just My Luck by Adele Parks
Genre: Contemporary, Domestic Mystery
Length: 384 pages
Book Rating: B+
Complimentary Review Copy Provided by Publisher Through NetGalley
It was supposed to be the lottery win they’d always dreamed of…
For fifteen years, Lexi and Jake have played the same six numbers with their friends. Over drinks, dinner parties and summer barbecues, the three couples have discussed the important stuff—kids, marriages, careers—and they’ve laughed off their disappointment when they failed to win anything.
But then the unthinkable happens. There’s a rift in the group. Someone is caught in a lie. And soon after, six numbers come up that change everything forever.
Lexi and Jake have a ticket worth millions. And their friends are determined to claim a share.
#1 Sunday Times bestselling author Adele Parks returns with a riveting look at the dark side of wealth in this gripping tale of friendship, money, betrayal and good luck gone bad…
Just My Luck by Adele Parks is a wickedly clever domestic mystery.
For fifteen years, best friends Lexi and Jake Greenwood, Jennifer and Fred Heathcote, and Carla and Patrick Pearson get together on weekends for dinner. They also chip in every week to purchase a lottery ticket. They sometimes win small sums but they have never hit the jackpot. One weekend, one the of the men bash the lottery and declares he is finished playing. Another couple chimes in and agrees him. Lexi still purchases the ticket using the same numbers she always selects.
The following weekend, Lexi gets the feeling they are being brushed off by their friends. Saturday evening, she runs an errand and she arrives home to discover that she holds the winning ticket for that week’s nearly eighteen million pound jackpot. Since the other couples opted out, Lexi and Jake tell their two children, Logan and Emily, to keep quiet about their win. But once word leaks out, the Heathcote’s and Pearson’s demand their share. The situation begins to spiral out of control as the Greenwoods refuse to divvy up the winnings.
Lexi and Jake make much less money than their friends so the lottery win is a very welcome windfall. Lexi is the family’s main breadwinner since Jake frequently changes jobs. She continues working and she wants to donate money to charity. Lexi is absolutely shocked at Jake’s reaction to the having so much money. He allows their kids, fifteen-year-old Emily and thirteen-year-old Logan, to buy whatever they want. At first, Emily eagerly shops both in person and online but this is just a panacea for the loss of her boyfriend, Ridley Heathcote and her best friend, Megan Pearson.
As Lexi begins to wonder if she knows her husband at all, the situation between their former friends worsen. All of the publicity has a negative impact on her job and she is dismayed at the fallout. Lexi is threatened by people demanding money which plays into Jake’s hands. She manages to keep her objections to herself as he and Emily throw themselves into their latest (extravagant) project. Lexi’s worries are soon proven to be true when a loved one finds themselves in an increasingly dangerous situation.
Just My Luck is a riveting mystery that is a shocking portrayal of greed. The storyline is well-written with unexpected plot twists. The characters are a mix of likable and downright disagreeable. With plenty of secrets, hidden agendas, and avarice, Adele Parks brings this mesmerizing domestic mystery to a stunning conclusion. Absolutely loved and highly recommend!


Antivirus Protection & Internet Security Software
A firewall acts as defense for a local computer against viruses, worms, Trojans and brute-force hacking attacks. It can take the form of either software (a security program) or hardware (a physical router), but both perform the same function: Scanning incoming network traffic to make sure it doesn't contain blacklisted data. Firewalls scan each ""packet"" of data — small chunks of a larger whole, reduced in size for easy transmission — to make sure these packets don't contain anything malicious.
This scanning takes several forms. First, a firewall may screen any access requests and analyze the requesting service to make sure it has a known domain name and Internet address. Firewalls can also fully examine each packet of incoming data to look for strings of blacklisted code. Finally, firewalls may evaluate packets based on their similarity to other packets that have been recently sent and received. If the packets are within acceptable levels of similarity, they are allowed through.
Borrowed from a similar concept in firefighting, the ultimate purpose of a firewall is to block anything that could ""burn down"" a user's computer. Firewalls are a necessity, whether from a software vendor or security provider.
Windows operating systems come with a built-in firewall, and it is usually advisable to leave it enabled. But in the case of a home network, a hardware-based solution such as a router is recommended. Security software companies typically bundle firewall solutions with their antivirus programs; in many cases, these firewalls are more sophisticated than those provided as part of a basic operating system. Common features of firewalls include logging and reporting of attacks — successful or not — along with alarm notifications in the event of a breach.
Potential drawbacks include a slowdown in network traffic, especially if packets are being entirely analyzed by user's local computer. In addition, some firewalls accidentally block legitimate sites, but this can be corrected by making exceptions in the service's control panel and specifying which sites or ports are allowed past.

“The students have had a lovely morning chatting with travellers at check in about the new services and we hope passengers have found the information very helpful.”
easyJet flies to 17 destinations from Newcastle, with the airline’s new Split, Rhodes and Corfu routes taking-off in the first week of June. More than 20,000 passengers are expected to fly in and out of the airport on the three new routes this summer alone. All flights can be booked at www.easyJet.com.
Newcastle International Airport and SSP UK are calling on the North East public to put forward suggestions of local heroes and celebrities for a special ‘wall of fame’ in new facility Bar 11.
The wall aims to recognise a mix of local heroes and celebrities – anyone from the community, business or celebrity world with strong links to the North East region. Those selected will take pride of place on the commemorative wall within the new unit, which is to open on the 1st April.
With only 30 profiles to be featured, award-winning songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, activist, actor and Newcastle born Gordon Sumner – better known by his stage name Sting – has already secured a place on the wall. Showbiz celebrities, who are at the helm of hosting some of the UK’s most watched, and loved, television programmes and soap-stars will also be unveiled at the opening.
Gill Caleary, Commercial Director at Newcastle Airport, said: “We are looking to showcase local heroes and celebrities who you feel either support your local community or the North East region as a whole and have a story worth telling. They’ll have their face on our ‘wall of fame’. If you can think of anyone you’d like to suggest please get in touch!”
Members of the public are asked to submit their suggestions to Natalia.Dipalma@ssp.uk.com by 10 March for consideration.
Submissions should include the name of the person nominated, their job or role and a short paragraph or sentence on what makes them a local hero or noteworthy regional celebrity.
Winners will be selected by a special panel and the winning entries will be displayed on the ‘wall of fame’ within Bar 11 when it opens.
Bar 11 is part of the airport’s new £14 million development of its departure lounge. The premium bar will be operated by SSP UK and is designed to attract a diverse range of travellers through its variety of modern and fresh dining options.
Following the arrival last year two brand new Thomas Cook Airlines Airbus A321 aircraft at Newcastle International Airport, the airport has been recognised at the airlines’ most on-time airport in 2014, which saw flights increase with a new daily flying programme to Dalaman in the summer.
Thomas Cook Airlines customers have also voted Newcastle the best airport for the speed of check-in and overall customer service, ahead of the airlines’ other UK bases.
Cor Vrieswijk, Chief Operating Officer for Thomas Cook Airlines said, “Last year, Newcastle International Airport helped us deliver a great service to our customers, with over 92 per cent of our flights departing within the industry-standard measure of 15 minutes from departure time and top ratings from our customers too.
“Newcastle has now been our best performing base for two year’s running, and we would like to thank the airport and all our partners for their support as we look ahead to new flights to Santorini and Hurghada this summer.”
Richard Knight, Operations Director at Newcastle International Airport said, “We’re delighted that Thomas Cook has recognised Newcastle as the most on-time airport and the best for customer service in 2014.
“We aim to be the UK’s most welcoming airport and these accolades from Thomas Cook recognise the hard work of our staff, who strive to deliver excellent service to our passengers and business partners on a daily basis.
“In addition, Newcastle was recently named Top UK Airport by Wanderlust and was also named Best UK airport by readers of Which? Travel in 2013 and 2014. We’re delighted that the hard work of everyone here at Newcastle is making customer journeys better than ever!”
After each flight, the airlines’ customers are asked to complete a questionnaire reviewing the service at the airport, on-board their flight and on their holiday. In 2014, Newcastle Airport came top in speed of check-in and overall customer service of any UK airport used by Thomas Cook Airlines.
Thomas Cook Airlines partners at Newcastle International Airport include Swissport, Alpha LSG, Airline Services, Flightcare Multiservices and Journey’s Friend Bonded Stores who along with the airport were recognised at a special presentation – alongside Thomas Cook Airlines pilot, cabin crew, ground staff and engineers based at Newcastle.
Customers in the North East will continue to see more new routes, with new Thomas Cook Airlines flights from Newcastle to Santorini and Hurghada this summer, along with an additional flight to Enfida, flight only offers and holidays are on sale now.
The airline has introduced a total of six new A321 aircraft across its UK fleet in 2014, with three more to be added in 2015 and serves 24 destinations from Newcastle International Airport, with over 200,000 passengers each year flying with the airline.

Newcastle International Airport is celebrating 2015 in style this year as it marks its 80th Anniversary with the launch of its new corporate video, Newcastle International - Your Airport In Motion.
The film, created by Jack Fisher, premiered at the Tyneside Cinema and will be available on the airport’s social media channels and website from 9am on Thursday 5th February.
The film gives viewers a unique, behind the scenes view of daily life at Newcastle Airport, the region’s largest airport which saw 4.6 million passengers in 2014.
The film was produced using time-lapse photography. This involves taking a series of stills which are then merged together to make a film sequence. The process spanned a number of months and offers a unique perspective compared to conventional filmmaking.
Footage includes flight arrivals and take offs, the boarding process, check in, travellers passing through the terminal and departure lounge and more! The film is a collection of over 15,000 photographs.
The airport will mark its 80th birthday on 26 July this year and is planning a number of celebrations over the year including charity activity, social media and special events.
David Laws, Chief Executive at Newcastle International Airport, said: “This is an exciting year for the airport. Our 80th Anniversary year will see a host of celebrations with passengers, business partners and the local community.
“We’re delighted to start things off by unveiling our new corporate video, Newcastle International - Your Airport In Motion. This gives viewers a glimpse of the airport’s daily operations and we hope people enjoy it as much as we do!
“We’re sure that passengers, stakeholders, enthusiasts and the local community will really get behind this video as it does offer never before seen angles and footage of airport operations.”
“The 80th anniversary celebrations don’t stop here! This year we’ll be working with our new joint adopted charities, Newcastle United Foundation and SAFC’s Foundation of Light to plan some exciting activity in our anniversary year including a charity Race Day and some extra special aviation themed fundraising. The details aren’t going to be made public until later this year but watch this space…
“We’re also looking forward to two very special events in addition to the anniversary activity, in May this year we launch our first ever transatlantic service to New York with United Airlines! The summer service starts on 23 May and will run until 7 September. We’re so excited for the launch of the route, tickets are on sale so book now!
“Later in the summer we look forward to the opening of our new departure lounge. The facility marks a £14 million investment from the airport and our business partners and will greatly benefit customers. New brands will join the offering in the terminal and improve the passenger experience. It’s all part of our goal to be the UK’s most welcoming airport and we’re determined to achieve this, especially in our anniversary year.”
Councillor Iain Malcolm, Leader of South Tyneside Council and lead of the LA7 shareholders, said: “On behalf of the LA7 shareholders and our AMP partners, we’re delighted to kick-start the airport’s anniversary year with the premiere of Newcastle International – Your Airport In Motion.
“This film showcases our great airport. The airport is of crucial importance to the North East, contributing over £640 million each year to the regional economy. This film gives viewers a glimpse of what the daily operation at Newcastle is like and the hard work of the staff onsite.
“This year promises to be a busy one for the airport. As well as celebrating 80 years we will also launch the United Airlines New York service in May and officially open the new departure lounge development later in the year. We are very much looking forward to an exciting year!”
Film producer Jack Fisher, said: “Filming Newcastle International – Your Airport In Motion was a real pleasure. Time-lapse photography is the perfect medium to capture the many moving parts of an airport, so I was naturally attracted to the project when it was first suggested. I think it was great the band Jungle allowed us to use the track Time and I just really hope people enjoy the film.”

- 15 Scene destinations available from Newcastle airport
- Celebratory voucher code launched to be used online or in Thomson shops such as Northumberland Street and the Metro Centre
Chelsea’s hottest ‘Scenesters’ hit the red carpet last night for the official launch of Thomson Scene, a new collection of bespoke holidays for the youth market. The Shoreditch event, held at the award-winning Callooh Callay cocktail bar, saw Lucy Watson, Oliver Proudlock and Binky Felstead go head-to-head as they competed to host the best ‘Scene’, taking inspiration from their favourite Thomson Scene holiday destination.
Millie Mackintosh also attended and celebrity DJ Jameela Jamil was in residence, playing the hottest holiday sounds throughout the evening for celebrity guests and party-goers.
Aimed at 18-35 year olds, Thomson Scene offers the perfect choice for sun seekers looking for a smart holiday base in some of the coolest party destinations. From affordable hotels close to the action, to a selection of celeb style, luxury hangouts in 15 destinations from Newcastle airport, the newly expanded range of holidays offers a wide variety of options to suit all tastes. Hot spots featured in the Thomson Scene programme and available include the big hitting, party islands of Ibiza, Zante and Corfu and the chic spot of Croatia, as well as long haul getaways to Mexico.
To mark the official launch, Thomson Scene has released a celebratory voucher code. All customers who book a Scene holiday before the end of January 2015* will receive £50 off when quoting 49196 online, 49200 in stores such as Northumberland Street and the Metro Centre and 49216 through the call centre at the time of booking.
At last night’s launch party each VIP host curated their own ‘Scene’ within the event, selecting the décor, canapés and signature cocktails to bring to life their chosen party hotspot.
Lucy’s Scene was inspired by the party island of Ibiza, taking on a glamourous vibe with a specially created champagne cocktail, The Ibiza Royale. Glitter Lips make-up artists on hand in Lucy’s Scene to get people into the party mood. Talking about the event, Lucy commented: “It’s been so much fun picking out all the elements I love the most about Ibiza, and bringing them to life for the launch of Thomson Scene. Ibiza is such an amazing and glamourous holiday destination, I knew instantly that it would the perfect choice to inspire my Scene!”
Drawing on the laid back vibes of Thailand, to recreate a beach party Scene, Proudlock served his guests a brand new King of Siam cocktail. Proudlock commented: “I was quietly confident going into the evening, but the girls gave me some tough competition. When I was checking out all the amazing destinations that Thomson Scene offers, Thailand was an easy stand out choice for me as the perfect combination of awesome parties and chilled out days surrounded by beautiful scenery.”
The third Scene at the event was hosted by Binky Felstead and inspired by the vibrancy of Mexico, serving traditional Mexican canapés and the El Rivington Swizzle, a tequila based cocktail. She commented: “I was just lying on the beach in Mexico last week, and it was one of the best holiday’s I’ve ever had. So, it was a no-brainer when asked for a theme for my Scene. There are so many super cool things about Mexico that I could get creative with to showcase the style of the destination, from colourful decorations, yummy Mexican quesadillas and delicious tequila cocktails.”
Mark Hall, Director of Product for Thomson, said: “Thomson Scene combines chilled pool days with lively nights and we offer a fantastic range of short, mid and long haul destinations from Newcastle airport inluding Ibiza, Corfu, Croatia and Mexico. Our new youth brand offers sun seekers a wide holiday choice from affordable hotels close to the nightlife, to celeb style luxury hangouts which offer relaxation and the chance to experience some culture in the country they are visiting.”
Newcastle Airport Fire Training Academy was selected as the training partner of choice to work with FALCK SCI Portugal to train Firefighters from Lisbon Airport in Portugal.
Firefighters have attended the Training Academy based at Newcastle Airport Fire Station to undertake a blend of technical and practical training utilising the state-of-art fireground.
The Newcastle Airport Fire Training Academy has over 20 years of experience working with businesses across the UK and beyond.
The academy is a world-class facility delivering training, both practical and classroom based, across a range of sectors. Training equipment includes a 767 aircraft fire simulator, Super Puma helicopter, helipad, fire screen and oil, gas and marine training facilities.
Selected personnel from Lisbon also attended a Crew Commanders programme in Newcastle, to develop command and control skills using a virtual reality simulator and then enhance their knowledge, understanding and skills on the fireground taking charge of a range of aircraft related incident scenarios.
Tim Oakes, Training Academy Manager at Newcastle International Airport, said: “This is another fantastic opportunity for the Newcastle Airport Fire Training Academy to develop training solutions for our clients.
“We have over 20 years of experience in delivering training including Fire Safety courses, Health and Safety training, First Aid and more. As well as our work with other airports, we also offer a significant amount of training for businesses across a range of sectors.
“To support this project with Lisbon Airport we sent members of the Fire Training Academy to Portugal to assist, assess and verify training which is delivered in country. The team also undertook practical training at the Fire Training Academy.
“We are dedicated to providing high quality training across a variety of sectors to ensure the knowledge and skills we have here at Newcastle is shared with learners. Aviation is a unique environment and it’s vital that those working in the sector have access to quality training programmes.”
This is not the first time that the Training Academy have been involved with firefighters from Portugal, last year 30 firefighters from Faro Airport attended an aviation firefighting course and it has been working with UK Trade & Investment to explore other overseas markets.
Chris Graham, UKTI's International Trade Adviser for Medium-Sized Businesses (MSBs), who has been working closely with the airport, said: "We're delighted that Newcastle Airport Fire Training Academy has been successful in its bid to win this latest overseas contract.
"We look forward to continue working with the airport and hope its success will inspire others to follow in its footsteps and take up the exporting for growth challenge.
"A new package of support was announced in the Autumn Statement to help small and medium-sized businesses take their first steps into export with £20m of funding in 2015-16.
"It will mean UKTI's International Trade Advisers will be able to offer more help to first time exporters, helps others already exporting break into new markets and keeps the North East focussed on the 2020 Export Challenge set by the Government."
Newcastle International Airport is raring to go for 2015 with a host of new routes and destinations for passengers, and a range of exciting new outlets as part of its £14 million departure lounge development.
The countdown has begun with the new service to New York with United Airlines now less than 150 days away. The first flight leaves on 23rd May and a recent visit by United Airlines personnel based in Chicago to the airport confirms everything is on track for the first flight.
Amazingly, around 160 United staff based in Chicago are working on the project to bring service to Newcastle covering activities such as aircraft catering, cleaning, engineering, cargo and ground handling arrangements.
This summer service connects at New York’s Newark Airport with United flights linking passengers to over 300 North American, Central American, Caribbean and South American destinations. Popular early sellers include New York itself and the holiday destinations of Florida and Las Vegas but bookings have already been made to destinations across the United States.
Other scheduled services to take-off in 2015 include Stansted flights with Flybe from late March and a year-round service to Geneva with easyJet which recommences in June.
A number of carriers have also added new holiday destinations for summer 2015. New services include Santorini and Varna with Thomas Cook, Dubrovnik with Thomson, Antalya, Split in Croatia, Corfu and Rhodes with easyJet and Larnaca, Malta, Zante and Tunisia with Jet2.com. In winter Thomson will add Hurghada and Larnaca to their schedules.
In 2013, work began on a major departure lounge development which has so far seen the introduction of a number of new outlets including The Flying Hippo, Beer House, Cabin Bar and Aspire Lounge. New retail units have also opened including Traveller, Cuba Lily, Travelex and WHSmith.
David Laws, Chief Executive at Newcastle International Airport, said: “It’s been a hugely successful year for Newcastle International Airport. We’ve have a very strong summer and passenger numbers are up. 2015 will be a year of celebration as enter our 80th anniversary year. We have a number of exciting things planned, so watch this space!
“Recently we achieved our long term goal of securing a trans-Atlantic service to New York with United Airlines. We’re delighted that this will begin to operate in May 2015, tickets are on sale now and we’d encourage the North East travelling public to get behind this route and book up for summer 2015.
“A number of our airline business partners have also added services to their schedules for the year and we’ll be travelling to new destinations including Stansted, Split in Croatia, Santorini in Greece, and Hurghada in Egypt.
“We’re part way through our exciting £14 million departure lounge development which will be completed in summer 2015. A number of new concepts will open for the benefit of passengers as we continue to invest in our facilities to ensure we achieve our aim of being the UK’s most welcoming airport.
“In 2014 we were also named by Which? as the best large airport for the second year running which was a wonderful accolade. We’re sure 2015 is going to be even better than the last and wish all our passengers a Happy New Year!”
As well as celebrating new routes and ongoing investments, the airport also recently announced a new partnership as both the Newcastle United Foundation and Sunderland AFC’s Foundation of Light have joined forces for the first time to raise funds as the airport’s adopted charities.
Speaking about this news David Laws said: “The airport is the perfect place to reach millions of people as they jet in and out of the region either for business or leisure. Both Foundation charities are very worthwhile causes working with children and young people across the region. We’re delighted to be able to help them reach out to the North East public, raising awareness of what they do as well as fundraising within our terminal.”

Could Single Nucleotide Polymorhphisms Help Diagnose Ankylosing Spondylitis Earlier?
by Dr. David Borenstein M.D. 10/21/2018
Spine Community News: At the Plenary session of the 2018 American College of Rheumatology Annual Meeting in Chicago, an article was presented describing the use of genetics to diagnose ankylosing spondylitis (AS) earlier in the course of the illness. A delay in diagnosing AS is quite common and may be several years before patients are correctly diagnosed because the symptom of back pain is easily attributed to more common mechanical causes of back pain like muscle spasm or herniated disc, and AS patients rarely visit a Rheumatologist who is more likely to make a correct diagnosis.
HLA-B27 is a genetic test associated with AS however a significant proportion of individuals with this genetic makeup do not have the disease. A more specific genetic test would be helpful in differentiating individuals who have AS from those who do not.
Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are packets of genetic material that are associated with different illness. Authors presented genetic risk scores based on SNPs from Europe and East Asia. The European genetic risk was 92% versus HLA – B27 at 87%. The East Asian Cohort was more discriminating at 95%. This data suggests that diagnosis of AS could be done earlier and at less cost ($50.00) for SNP microarray analyses compared to the more expensive MRI.

See’s Candies opening Kenwood retail store
Candy maker See’s Candies plans to open its first company-operated shop in Greater Cincinnati later this month.
The 93-year-old San Francisco-based company will open a retail store March 21 at Kenwood Towne Centre in Sycamore Township. It is also hosting a grand opening celebration that day.
See’s, the no added-preservative candy shop, will sell more than 100 varieties of candies and chocolates. At the counter, customers can create custom boxes of candies, chocolates, truffles, nuts and chews and lollipops. Many of the products sold are gluten-free.

Limited assortment See’s shops already operate in Macy’s stores at Kenwood and the Florence Mall.


Syncsort has released the results of its fourth annual Big Data survey, detailing the top use cases and challenges organizations face with Big Data initiatives.
Based on the results, there are five key trends that organizations should monitor in 2018.
1. The composition of the data lake has been shifting. The amount of Relational Database Management Systems and NoSQL databases increased this year. Relational Database Management Systems were chosen as the top source, surpassing traditional enterprise data warehouses. It also found that cloud repositories are gaining popularity.
2. Legacy platforms will continue to make significant contributions to the data lake. There was a 27 percent increase from last year in the amount of people who believe it is important to access and integrate mainframe data into data lakes.
3. Data quality and regulatory compliance were top challenges for many organizations. Forty percent of respondents cited these as significant struggles that they will continue to try to improve upon in the coming year.
4. Another trend is that data lakes will be kept fresher in order to support data use. Seventy-one percent of respondents listed ETL as the most compelling data lake use case, with advanced/predictive analytics and real-time analytics coming in second and third, respectively. Even though these case require up-to-date data, over 75 percent of respondents reported challenges with keeping their data lake in sync.
5. Finally, organizations will continue their investment in Big Data. Ninety percent of companies found that using Hadoop and Spark instead of legacy systems was valuable in saving money and driving data insights.
“We are seeing increased adoption of data lake initiatives where organizations are very focused on governance of the data in the data lakes, increasing benefits through advanced analytics and machine learning and deployment of hybrid environments including cloud,” said Tendü Yoğurtçu, CTO, Syncsort. “But those benefits can only be unlocked if organizations have access to enterprise data, can create trusted data sets and establish effective data governance practices. This propels them to a place where they can not only adapt to digital disruption, but take advantage of it so their businesses thrive.”

Scientists have succeeded in counting the number of atoms in a crystal of silicon with unprecedented accuracy, marking a major step forwards in efforts to define the kilogram (kg) on the basis of physical constants.
The work, published in the journal Physical Review Letters, was partly supported by the EU through the IMERA Plus (‘Implementing metrology in the European research area – plus’) project. IMERA Plus, which received EUR 21 million under the ‘Coordination of research activities’ budget line of the Seventh Framework Programme (FP7), brings together national metrology research institutes from across Europe to tackle fundamental questions such as the definition of the kilogram.
Today, most measurements are based on fixed physical constants. For example, the International Bureau of Weights and Measures (BIPM) defines a metre as ‘the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second’, while a second is ‘the duration of 9,192,631,770 periods of the radiation corresponding to the transition between the two hyperfine levels of the ground state of the caesium 133 atom’.
Just one measure has defied definition in this way: the kilogram, which is still defined by the BIPM as ‘equal to the mass of the international prototype of the kilogram’. That international prototype is a block of platinum-iridium (Pt-Ir) kept at the BIPM’s offices in Paris, France. Yet despite the fact that it is kept in carefully controlled conditions, the official kilogram’s weight is not constant; scientists estimate that it has changed by around 50 micrograms over the last century. The hunt is therefore on to come up with a clear, fixed definition of the kilogram.
Since 2003, the international Avogadro project, which is coordinated by the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Germany, has been working to arrive at a definition of the kilogram based on the Avogadro constant. In the case of an element, the Avogadro constant refers to the number of atoms in an amount of material whose mass in grams is equivalent to the element’s atomic weight. As such, the Avogadro constant ‘links the atomic and the macroscopic properties of matter’, the researchers write.
In this study, an international team of researchers sought to measure the number of atoms in a single, 1 kg crystal of silicon. According to the team, silicon was chosen because it can be grown into extremely pure, large, and almost perfect crystals. The ultimate goal of the Avogadro project is to measure the Avogadro constant in such a crystal with a measurement uncertainty of just 2 x 10 to the power of -8. The process drew on the expertise of metrology institutes around the world.
The researchers used two spheres, both of which were polished in Australia. The perfection of the crystals was then assessed, as was the influence of crystal lattice defects. The Italian metrology institute (INRIM) employed X-ray interferometry to determine the lattice parameter; its findings were confirmed by comparison measurements on a natural silicon crystal at the US National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST).
The masses of the two silicon spheres were compared to the mass of kilogram standards held at the BIPM, the PTB and the National Metrology Institute of Japan (NMIJ). The spheres’ silicon dioxide surface layer was subjected to a battery of tests, including X-ray radiation and synchrotron radiation. The contamination of the surface with copper and nickel silicides was also measured and its influence on spheres’ volume and mass assessed. Finally, the team at the PTB used a new mass-spectrometric method to determine the molar mass of the spheres.
Their efforts allowed them to count the number of atoms in the samples with a measurement uncertainty of just 3 x 10 to the power of -8. ‘The value obtained … is the most accurate input datum for a new definition of the kilogram,’ the researchers write.
In a statement, the PTB notes: ‘The result is a milestone on the way towards a successful realisation of the new kilogram definition on the basis of fundamental constants whose values have been fixed.’
The researchers stress that their definition is still not accurate enough to replace the prototype kilogram in Paris; to do that, they would need to achieve an uncertainly level of 2 x 10 to the power of -8, as required by the BIPM’s Consultative Committee for Mass (CCM). However, it does look like that Parisian chunk of metal’s days as the definitive kilogram are numbered.
The researchers conclude: ‘The agreement between the different realisations is not yet as good as it is required to retire the Pt-Ir kilogram prototype, but considering the capabilities already developed and the envisaged improvements it seems to be realistic that the targeted uncertainty may be achieved in the foreseeable future.’

Are Dogs Allowed In Hocking Hills?
You want to hike the best hikes in Hocking Hills and you want to hike as many of them as you can with your dog. Come on a tour with us of the top 6 hikes in Hocking Hills to find out which trails are pet prohibited, pet enemy, pet friendly, and pet fantastic! By the end of this blog you'll know the answer to Are Dogs Allowed In Hocking Hills. Let’s get started! Click or tap the YouTube Video to watch a version of this blog.
Hocking Hills is a State Park in Southeast Ohio about 40 minutes from Columbus. The park is a hidden gem in the United States filled with gorge trails, waterfalls, and scenic hikes. The region is known for the black hand sandstone that is only found in the Ohio region. On our first stop let’s find out
Are Dogs allowed at Ash Cave Trail in Hocking Hills?
Ash Cave is a must see in Hocking Hills. The Recess Cave is the largest of its kind East of the Mississippi. We wouldn’t recommend dogs on this trail, and we’ll show you why in a moment. But first let’s discuss the trail. Ash Cave is a ½ mile loop that takes about 30-40 minutes to complete. The time to complete depends on your ability, how busy the trail is and how much time you want to spend exploring Ash Cave. The trip to Ash Cave is on this accessible trail that is good for strollers and wheelchairs. Ash Cave appears as you are hiking the trail and at a distance you can see it peek through the trees. But, as you get closer you begin to realize the height and expanse of Ash Cave. Perspective is provided when you see people under the rock. If it is busy you will have a hard time stopping and recognizing the magnificence of what you are witnessing. The trail is one-way. On the other side of Ash Cave is our concern for dogs. We noticed with our labs that the metal grates on these steps were painful on their paws and we regretted bringing them on this hike. If not for the metal tread Ash Cave would be a great hike for pets.

Moving on to the second on our list and the most popular trail
Are Dogs allowed at Old Man’s Cave in Hocking Hills?
The trail to Old Man’s Cave includes features like the Upper Falls, Lower Falls, the Sphinx, Devil’s Bathtub and of course Old Man’s Cave. Each of these are detailed in our trail guide post. We hiked early one morning and did not compete with the number of people that usually fill these trails. The hike to Old Man’s Cave is about one mile. But, add another ½ mile to see the sphinx and lower falls. These two lengths could take you between 30 to 90 minutes depending on the traffic and trail you take. Dogs are welcome and this is a great trail to take them on. We had a low water flow day and were able to bypass an artistic bridge by hiking through the creek. One of our dogs is losing his eyesight and we didn’t want to risk him missing a step off the random concrete platforms. Old Man’s Cave was great but we hiked further to Whispering Cave and it was a mistake. The trail got much more difficult and the length was more than our labs could handle.
Before we continue with our next hike. Here are a few rules in Hocking Hills when hiking with your pet. Dogs are only allowed on the trail with a 6 foot leash or smaller. They also mention that dogs must be friendly. Let us know in the comments what you think a friendly dog means. We’d love to hear your point of view. If there is enough conversation we will add our perspective. 3. Make sure you carry pet waste bags and carry out you and your pet’s waste to a garbage can in the parking lot. Read this for a full trail guide on Old Man's Cave
There is one trail that has a real Cave so,
Are Dogs Allowed at Rock House Trail in Hocking Hills?
The trail to Rock House is a loop trail of 0.8 miles and 200 feet of elevation gain. Like most trails in Hocking Hills it takes a lot of steps to make the loop. About 200 steps to be more specific. Rock House is a true cave suspended on the gorge wall in black hand sandstone. The cave is 25 feet high and 200 feet long. The trail is a technical hike and not all dogs should hike on this trail where dogs are allowed. But, if you take your dogs, be mindful of the uneven steps, rocks, and roots. Also beware there are birds in the cave that may be a little too friendly. Take a strong flashlight with you to see the cave floor as it is uneven and difficult to navigate in the dark. Keep a tight grip on your dog’s leash to make sure if your dog bolts after the birds that they don’t escape. Here is a full trail guide to Rock House
We did not take our dogs to Rock House and were happy we left them back at the RV. If you are looking for a great campground and full hookup RV resort close to Hocking Hills check out our post on Campbell Cove in Logan Ohio on Lake Logan. The park has a lot of activities for kids, is dog friendly with dog waste stations, and has great sites for all camping setups from tents to cottages to big rigs.
Next up is the most difficult of the hikes on our list.
Are Dogs Allowed at Cantwell Cliffs in Hocking Hills?
Ok, we’re just going to come out and say it. Unless you have a Belgian Malinois or German Shepherd or similar, Cantwell Cliffs is not for your dog. However, this trail is amazing. The rock formations like what you see here and the technical nature of the trail combined with its length through the forest is a must hike in Hocking Hills. We hiked the gorge trail to the rim trail and it took about 1.5 hours. Enjoy hiking the trail and noticing all the improvements made by the civilian conservation corps in the 1930s. We have more details on their work and what gear you should take with you on this hike in our trail guide post. Cantwell Cliffs are as high as 150 feet from rim to Buck Run Creek. The forest is filled with tall hardwoods and pines and blanketed with ferns and wildflowers providing beautiful views at every turn.
Every good hiking video needs a dad joke: How do fleas travel from place to place? By itch-hiking! Read more about Cantwell Cliffs here.
This next trail includes a handicapped accessible paved gorge trail that takes you through some of the best forest in the area.
Are Dogs Allowed at Conkle’s Hollow in Hocking Hills?
Conkle’s Hollow Nature Preserve is reserved space in Hocking Hills for the Trees, Plants, and wildlife that call the Preserve home. The trails are included to show us what the preserve is doing to maintain this habitat. You’ll notice this habitat is a little healthier than other hikes on the list. There are two trails in the preserve. The out and back Gorge trail is paved for about a ½ mile and then proceeds into a more technical trail back to the beginning of the gorge and a waterfall not to be missed. Pay attention on the trail to the forest and rock formations. These views are only available on the gorge trail. Plan about a ½ hour to hike the gorge trail.
The Rim is much more difficult and starts with a series of steps. The rest of the hike is mainly on the rim edge and is a 2.1 mile loop and takes over an hour to complete. It is a very technical hike and has a level of danger that is deadly. People have fallen off the rim into the gorge to their death. But the rim has spectacular views of the forest from above and looking down into the gorge is a completely different experience. As Conkle’s Hollow is a nature preserve dogs are strictly prohibited and will not be allowed to protect the wildlife and habitat.
Each of these trails are very popular and enjoyable, But dogs need to be well behaved for you to have an enjoyable hike. The trails are technical, narrow in places, and at times difficult for humans to hike. If your dog will distract you from your hike, leave them at home to prevent injury to yourself or others. Read more about hiking Conkle's Hollow here
Now for our favorite dog friendly hike in Hocking Hills
Are Dogs Allowed at Cedar Falls in Hocking Hills?
The big deal about Cedar Falls is the Waterfall. Dogs are welcome at Cedar Falls and this is the best hike for dogs. The steps were designed by an architect in 1997 and were built in a way to reduce the strain and effort to hikers and we’re sure pets benefit, too. We found the trail to be perfect for dogs and paws and the waterfall provides a stunning view and a place to sit and relax before proceeding up the hill and back to the parking lot. The trail is a ½ mile loop and takes 30 minutes to enjoy. The waterfall is 50 feet in height and is part of Queer Creek that flows through Hocking Hills. This is the most reliable of the waterfalls in Hocking Hills and was the site of a grist mill in the 1800s. But the name is funny, too. Early settlers mistook the Hemlock trees for Cedars and the name Cedar Falls was born and is still in use today.
Read More Details about Hiking Cedar Falls here.
Are Dogs Allowed in Hocking Hills?
Dogs are allowed in Hocking Hills State Park. Old Man's Cave and Cedar Falls are the best hikes for dogs. But, Conkle's Hollow is a nature preserve and dogs are not allowed in the Preserve. Cantwell Cliffs is the most difficult trail in Hocking Hills and is only recommended for the best trail dogs. Ash Cave would be great for dogs but the stairway leading out of the Cave is a metal grate and painful to dog's paws. We wouldn't take dogs to Rock House. The stairs are difficult, the cave is dark, but if a hike isn't a hike without your pet this trail would probably be similar to Old Man's Cave in difficulty and length.

Estimated Connecticut Income Taxes
PURPOSE: This publication explains filing requirements for paying estimated income tax for taxable years beginning in 1993 and thereafter. Connecticut taxpayers can be charged interest for underpaying their estimated income tax, even though they pay all the Connecticut income tax they owe by the April 15 filing deadline. Connecticut law requires taxpayers to pay Connecticut income tax during the year, through withholding or estimated tax payments. Most employees have these taxes automatically withheld from their paychecks. If you are self-employed, or receive a pension or annuity, or are receiving unemployment compensation and have not elected Connecticut income tax withholding, or you receive any other income from which Connecticut income tax is not withheld, you should probably be making estimated income tax payments.
WHAT IS ESTIMATED TAX? Estimated tax is tax on income in excess of that income on which a sufficient amount of tax has been withheld. Because it is difficult to determine your exact tax liability before the end of the year, you make estimated tax payments during the year based upon what you expect to earn in the current year or based upon what you actually earned in the prior year. When you file your annual income tax return, you report your estimated tax payments. If you have overpaid your estimated tax during the year, you will receive a refund. If you have underpaid your taxes during the year, you will have to pay the tax you owe and you may have to pay interest on the amount of the underpayment.
WHO SHOULD PAY ESTIMATED TAX? In general, you must make estimated payments of Connecticut income tax if you expect to owe, after subtracting Connecticut income tax withheld for the taxable year, more than $200 after tax credits, if any, are taken into account and you expect your Connecticut income tax withholding to be less than your required annual payment.
WHAT IS MY REQUIRED ANNUAL PAYMENT? Your required annual payment is the lesser of:
90% of your total Connecticut income tax for the current taxable year
100% of your total Connecticut income tax for the preceding taxable year, if you filed a Connecticut income tax return for the preceding taxable year that covered a 12-month period.
NOTE: You do not have to make estimated income tax payments if you did not file a Connecticut income tax return for the preceding taxable year because you had no Connecticut income tax liability and you were either:
a resident of Connecticut for the entire preceding taxable year
a nonresident or part-year resident of Connecticut with Connecticut source income.
INCOME NOT SUBJECT TO WITHHOLDING: The checklist below includes many (although not all) of the types of income that is not subject to Connecticut income tax withholding and that may require you to pay estimated tax:
- pensions and annuities (if no Connecticut income tax is withheld);
- unemployment compensation;
- prize winnings;
- capital gains;
- interest income;
- dividend income;
- gambling winnings (if no Connecticut income tax is withheld);
- rental income;
- federally taxable social security;
To avoid the filing of an estimated tax, you may request your employer or pension plan payer to withhold additional amounts from your wages or pension income to cover the taxes on other income. You can make this change by providing your employer or pension payer with a revised Form CT-W4, Form CT-W4P or Form CT-W4CS.
HOW DO I ESTIMATE MY TAX? To figure your estimated tax payments, you will need Form CT-1040ES, Individual Estimated Income Tax Payment Coupon. The instructions include a worksheet for computing your estimated tax payments, exemption and credit tables, and a coupon to be mailed in with your estimated payments.
NOTE: If you made estimated Connecticut income tax payments last year, you will receive an individual estimated income tax payment coupon book by mail in January. The coupons are preprinted with your name, address and social security number to ensure that your payments are properly credited. If you did not make estimated payments last year, use Form CT-1040ES included in your Connecticut income tax booklet or available from the department's Forms Unit to make your first payment. If you file this form, additional coupons will be mailed to you.
WHEN DO I PAY MY ESTIMATED INCOME TAX? Generally, you must make your first estimated income tax payment by April 15. You can pay all of your estimated tax with the first payment or pay the tax in four installments, due April 15, June 15, September 15, and January 15. (Taxpayers who file their returns on a fiscal year should follow federal filing dates.)
If your liability for estimated payments begins after April 1 of the taxable year, due to changes in income, deductions or exemptions, consult the instructions for Form CT-1040ES to determine the payment schedule and the percentage to pay with each installment.
HOW MUCH SHOULD I PAY WITH EACH INSTALLMENT? In general, you are required to pay 25% of your required annual payment with each installment. Your installments should be made as follows:
|DUE DATE||PERCENTAGE DUE|
(a total of 50% of your required annual payment should be paid by this date.)
(a total of 75% of your required annual payment should be paid by this date.)
(a total of 100% of your required annual payment should be paid by this date.)
WHAT IF MY INCOME VARIES DURING THE YEAR? If you do not earn your income evenly throughout the year, you may benefit from using the annualized income installment method. Instead of paying your required annual payment in four equal installments, you may be able to reduce or eliminate the amount of one or more installments. You will make up the difference by making a larger payment for the period or periods when more of your income is earned.
For information, about this method, request from the Forms Unit a copy of IP 93(6.1), A Guide to Calculating Your Annualized Estimated Income Tax Installments and Worksheet CT-1040AES.
NOTE: If your estimated installment payments are based on the annualized income installment method, you must attach to your income tax return, Form CT-2210, Underpayment of Estimated Income Tax by Individuals and Fiduciaries, to show that your estimated income tax is not underpaid and is not subject to interest charges.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I UNDERESTIMATE MY TAX? If you are required to make estimated income tax payments and you do not pay enough tax during the year through estimated tax payments and withholding, or if you do not make the payments on time, interest may be charged. Interest is calculated separately for each installment from the due date of that installment until the earlier of the following dates: April 15 or the date on which the underpayment is paid. (You may owe interest for an earlier installment even if you paid enough to make up the underpayment with a later installment.) Interest of 1 1/4% per month or fraction thereof will also apply to the underpayment(s).
MAY I APPLY AN OVERPAYMENT IN THE PRIOR YEAR TO THE NEXT YEAR'S ESTIMATE? When you file a final return for the year, you may request that overpayments of Connecticut income tax be applied to your next year's estimated tax. If you file your Connecticut income tax return on or before April 15 (or if you file a timely request for extension of time to file and your income tax return is filed within the extension period) the overpayment will be treated as an estimate filed on April 15.

Woolfrey, S., Knaepen, H. 2016. Promoting a maize-to-livestock feed value chain in the Indian Ocean Islands. (Briefing Note 91). Maastricht: ECDPM.
This briefing note examines the potential for developing a maize-to-livestock feed value chain in the Indian Ocean Islands (IOI) region of Eastern and Southern Africa (defined here as comprising the countries of Comoros, Madagascar, Mauritius and Seychelles and the French territory of Réunion) in order to promote agricultural transformation and food security in the region. In doing so, the note identifies a number of obstacles to the development of such a value chain in IOI, including the challenges faced by businesses seeking to invest in and access the relevant regional markets. It also highlights existing initiatives upon which efforts to address these challenges and promote a regional maize-to-livestock feed value chain could build. Finally, the note provides some recommendations for facilitating effective dialogue among key stakeholders in this value chain in order to better connect private operators to regional markets.

While most guys travel to south America to be betrothed to gorgeous women, a still a few select men remain aware of the beautiful Southern region American girls. There are several reasons why this sort of men made a decision to remain acquainted with their Southern region American bride(s). The most important one is the financial reason. Considering that the majority of the people lives in or perhaps near the U. S., mailing their wives or girlfriends and children to school, obtaining employment, and caring for different family duties, it makes financial perception to stay in the home and work on their homes. Most men who all choose to remain at home in South America buy a bride online https://mailorderbrideguide.net/ make the same economic dedication there because they would in america.
One more why a lot of men decide to remain aware of their Southerly American girlfriends or wives is because of public norms. Generally in most Latin American countries, being gay can be not tolerated so being home and being with your spouse is not an option. Marriage in most Latina American countries is considered a permanent union and, therefore , is very important towards the families that support that. Most Latin American nations around the world outlaw the promotion of gay marriage so left over in the cabinet (and becoming unacceptable to your lover) is much more likely generally than getting married to someone of the identical sex. Many men who like to remain aware of their Southern region American girlfriends or wives do so mainly because the societal feelings of being which has a man and a woman are viewed as to be significantly less important compared to the societal vistas of being with a woman.
Finally, some guys travel southern region of the boundary for the easy reason that they may spend more time with their family. A husband and wife living apart from the other person are very very much possible, thus they have the opportunity to hang out with their children. Once husbands and wives segregated, the children usually are forced to move to another the main world (usually in the Usa States) with their parents. At the time you stay at home within a south America, you don’t have to worry about your children growing up without you can continue to follow your career or pursue the passion. You get every one of the benefits of simply being away from home even though still preserving your independence and independence.

The rapper is facing a major lawsuit.
TMZ reports that Nelly (real name Cornell Haynes Jr.) has been sued by the woman who previously accused him of rape. The woman, identified as Monique Greene, is suing for sexual assault and defamation.
After initially being uncooperative with prosecutors, Greene now wants to sue the Country Grammar rapper.
According to court docs obtained by the gossip rag, the alleged incident occurred on the morning of October 7 after Nelly’s Seattle concert. Court documents obtained by TMZ say Greene was drinking with Nelly and his entourage before getting into an SUV with him.
After being taken to his tour bus, which was parked in a Walmart parking lot, she allegedly sat on Nelly’s bed and he started masturbating. Despite Greene’s efforts to stop him, he then had sex with Greene against her will both orally and vaginally.
Greene claimed she tried to dissuade him by saying he needed to wear a condom, but he refused and continued assaulting her.
Afterward, when the alleged incident was over, Greene said she yelled that she wanted off the bus. A member from Nelly’s crew then reportedly pushed her off the tour bus, and, she said, Nelly threw a $100 bill at her before saying, “Bye bye.”
Greene said she then called for an Uber, and while waiting Nelly taunted her from the bus as she stood in the parking lot.
She called 911, when the authorities arrived, they reportedly interviewed Greene before arresting Nelly for 2nd rape. Greene was then transported to a medical center for treatment, where she completed a rape kit.
Greene is also suing for defamation, claiming after his arrest Nelly and his team began a smear campaign saying she was only after “money, fame and notoriety.”
As first reported by TMZ … prosecutors dropped the criminal case against Nelly when Greene refused to testify. In her lawsuit, she says she felt she couldn’t “stand up against a celebrity and that the criminal system would fail her.”
For his part, Nelly has said he intends to sue Greene to restore his reputation.

One of my goal for 2016 was to start writing my own thoughts again. It’s been far too long since I wrote on my old blog.
However instead of posting new stuff there, I’ve decided to create a new blog on Github Pages. Not only this gives me time to learn something new, i.e. Jekyll, but it also gives me a degree of control with the styling and interactivity.
You can take a look at the source code for the blog here.
Hope you enjoy reading my stuff. Thanks for coming.
