How are you doing? I am finally at the point where I can reply to your messages, so here it goes. I'm doing fine with my life. I grew into a fine and hardworking mother. By the grace of the Almighty, I'm blessed with a wonderful six-year-old boy and married to a very supportive man who is a doctor in Abu Dhabi. When I got married, my heart ached, and sadness crept into my soul: the religious rituals that you needed to perform were there, but you're not.
You missed so much in my life, so I want to tell you some of the stories I have. I want you to know that I've been interested in fashion and the performing arts since childhood. Mum wanted me to become a doctor but I had different interests. Since I personally experienced the psychological impact of living without a father, it was my dream to ease children's pain brought about by parental separation, helping them perform better in their lives—so I took Psychology as my career path. I also studied Applied Behavioural Analysis Training in the Applied Behavioural Institute Dubai. I had the privilege of meeting people in need, especially children with separated parents and challenged with other social issues.
I volunteered in the Special Olympics that was held here in the UAE, and I met people of determination. Knowing the challenges in their daily lives led me to decide to specialise in making adaptive clothes for them. They are the most neglected group when it comes to fashion choices. I believe that how you dress can also boost and improve one’s mood levels.
I designed my own clothes, and I wore them to different functions and got a lot of attention. My friends always advise me to showcase my designs at exhibitions. I always dreamt of you looking at my designs and appreciating my hard work and efforts. I collaborated with Dream Design for Disabilities in Dubai Modest Fashion Week 2019. I've also been invited to many international colleges and universities to meet students of fashion and technology. I have added a programme in my designing project with the goal of providing more information about adaptive clothing for the next generation of designers called "Mission Make My Style Accessible". I want to contribute to the growing society in whatever small way I can. I was able to achieve things, and I'm hoping that at one point, maybe not now but someday, that you'll be proud of me.
You left us when I was a toddler, but mum raised us so well. She helped me achieve what I have today. She tried her best to be a mother and father at the same time. She continued her own education even in those trying times and worked so hard to give us better lives. She also gained the position of being the only female designated as Scouts and Guides Commissioner of her state. Aren't you happy for her?
Mum had to work quite a lot, but grandma was also there by my side. I learned to raise an alarm if somebody tried to take advantage of me, thanks to her. I remember this one time: I was on a bus with my friend, and a man tried to touch her. I saw my friend's helpless expression on her face. I fought back on her behalf and made him pay for his actions. That incident made me realise that we might have to fight our own battles. Dad, if you were there, you would protect me, right?
When I was a child, the most significant impact of your absence was missing you each day. As I grew up, I realised that it is very much more than that. The challenges and hardships I met were difficult to overcome, but looking at Mum who taught me to deal with situations bravely, I learned to look at the positive side of things which made me stronger each day.
I was lucky enough to have a loving uncle to stand by my side and helped me with my school cards. I was supposed to have you during those times, but sadly, it was impossible. I left my grandmother's house when I was 20 years old. I stayed in metropolitan cities to experience hostel life, which taught me how to lead my life independently.
My ultimate goal is to become the voice of the voiceless and help people in need with my professional experience and personal way of living life. I'm pursuing it and I'm happy to announce that my dream project is about to happen soon where I'm the one who will direct the film, write the story and script, and also act.
I thank the UAE government for providing a platform for talented people and giving me a chance to be a member of the Twofour54 Creative Lab, a media organisation in Abu Dhabi. I'm able to nurture my passion for film directing and continuously learn about film direction.
My vision as a film director is to paint the cinema with real stories, instead of fictional ones, stories that create wrong impressions, or send wrong messages. London hosts some of the most exciting, eclectic and ambitious film festivals in the world, so I’m in talks with a London-based film director to present my film in different international film festivals which take place throughout the year in the capital.
Thank you, Dad, for making me learn poetry. I experienced so much pain because of being apart from you, so I kept a diary. Unknowingly, you made me into a writer. I want to share with you these lines from one of my poems:
That childhood is lost
So is he
Why is still my heart
Is searching him
Isn't he mentioned
O Father of mine
I decided to put these words in the teaser for the film I'm currently working on: Father, a short film about a fatherless daughter. It's my own story and I want to share it with the world. I aim to spread awareness about children suffering from parental separation, and to help them overcome mental health issues like anxiety and depression. As a fashion designer, I see it fit to showcase my artistry in this film as well. I will wear modified vintage dresses and antique jewellery in the film, owing to my close relationship with my grandmother who I admire for her way of dressing with the traditional outfits of Kashmir Valley.
There was a time when somebody literally told me that I don’t have a father to love me. That’s not true, right, Dad? I may not understand why you left us. Your decision gave us a hard life, and if I didn't have a lot of support from good people around me, it could have been worse. The tears and struggles I experienced that were meant to be shared with you made me a strong and positive person.
I was supposed to thank you and Mum for raising me and giving me life, but you're not here.
I was supposed to share my happiness and success with you, but you're not here.
Behind those grudges, sadness and pain, I still wish for you to be in good health. Someday, somewhere, a reason may dawn on me on why you turned your back on us that may ease my aching heart and soul.
Take care, Dad.

"History and the task of the future no longer signify the struggle of class against class or the conflict between one church dogma and another, but the settlement between blood and blood, race and race, Folk and Folk. And that means: the struggle of spiritual values against each other."- Alfred Rosenberg.
So I'm questioning why former and Republican Secretary of State Colin Powell would make the endorsement that he has. My questions are if this is an endorsement on face value of the candidate or a slam against the president and adminstation that he once served.
It might be for other reason(s) as well. Quote from former NH Governor John Sununu:
"Well, I think when you have somebody of your own race that you're proud of being president of the United States, I applaud Colin for standing with him."
I'm always remembering Powell standing on the floor of the UN talking about things like how the Iraqi Army transported it's weapons of mass destruction demonstrating these cool looking tubes; I'm not a scientist but he explained how enriched uranium was "advanced with these tubes." I watching cable at the time and the camera just happened to pan over to the Iraqi Delegate to the UN looking almost white in disbelief. Later he would state very professionally that:
"Iraq has no weapons of mass destruction."

By Staff -- Home Textiles Today, 1/26/2004 12:00:00 AM
Bluefly.com to open on Amazon
NEW YORK — Bluefly.com will open for business on Amazon.com later this year, as the designer apparel and home retailer announced it has signed a contract to sell its goods on Amazon's Apparel & Accessories.
The site will benefit both businesses, said Ken Seiff, CEO. "Amazon.com has more than 37 million active customer accounts worldwide, and many of these customers have never even been exposed to Bluefly. The Bluefly storefront on Amazon.com will give them access to thousands of designer items, at discounts averaging 50-60 percent off retail value. We expect Amazon.com customers to respond enthusiastically to these great deals."
Amazon's Apparel & Accessories store was launched in November 2002.
Bloomie's Soho store to open in April
Bloomingdale's announced that its downtown Broadway store will open April 24. With six levels and 90,000 square feet, the store will only offer ready-to-wear and cosmetics departments. Federated Department Stores, Bloomingdale's parent company, first announced the store in October 2002.
Jo-Ann grows tweaked superstore format
Having just celebrated its 60th anniversary, Jo-Ann Fabrics continues to roll out its 35,000-square-foot format store, which is smaller than the initial group of superstores of around 43,000 square feet.
It opened 15 such stores within the last 12 months, according to Alan Rosskamm, chairman and CEO, and they are either trending at or slightly above plan. The 91 current superstores already contribute 27 percent of the company's revenues, and they achieve 35 percent more production per square foot.
With a racetrack layout, the superstores have four destination shops — scrapbooking, quilting, home decorating/textiles, and floral design — located at the corners.
We would love your feedback!

Moers stood underneath the dirty lamp, snowflakes passing underneath it's grimy rays and landing with a delicate touch on the ground around him. It had just started to snow as he stood on the concrete platform waiting for the South Shore interurban. Lackawana station lacked life and certainly a roof. He was returning home after a night out with the guys in town celebrating his friend Dawson's engagement to his childhood sweetheart Linda. Moers chuckled underneath his scarf, the heat of his breath freezing before his face. He waited for another ten minutes when the earth began to shake beneath him. The yellow interurban car appeared in the distance, the headlamp casting a harsh glow about the platform. It slid past Moers and the doors creaked open. He stepped on board and deposited his ticket. The doors closed and the car slid into the night.
He awoke to the sound of bells. Not like church bells, but like a harsh apartment doorbell sort of bell. It was the motorman's station signal waking passengers who needed to get off here. As it pulled into the station, Moers read the sign of the city and uttered out of nowhere, "Who the fuck lives here in Godawful, Minstone, Illinois?" A thin, young man wearing thick glasses stopped right by him, and stared at him. He sat down rather than continuing onto the exits. Moers could feel a sense of hatred radiating from this man as he stared at Moers intentely. He stood once again and started for the door. The light brown of his over coat was dirty around the hem, probably from walking through the streets of Chicago. But the doors shut too soon and he was stopped short of the door and the train lurched forwards again. Moers suddenly felt uncomfortable as the man walked back towards him. He sat right behind Moers and placed his leather case on the chair to his side. Moers peered in between the chairs and tried to glance at the man. His features were youthful and light, but seeming out of place with the thick plastic glasses and frumpled hair.
Moers sat up and turned around. "I take back what I said about Minstone." he said. The man looked back up at him and only uttered two words. "Fuck You." Moers turned back uncomfortably towards his seat. The lights hissed out for a second before flickering back on. Moers peered back again, but this time, the man was gone. The conductor walked past and Moers grabbed his arm. "Where did the guy go that was behind me?" "What man? There is only you and the lady on the train. No one else. No one's gotten on since you." Moers sat forward again and buried his head into his hands.

2011 Patagonia Super Alpine Jacket
The first season of the collaborative design and development efforts of FYi and Patagonia will be hitting retail next month. The 2011 Super Alpine represents the pinnacle of Gore-tex outerwear construction in the form of an Alpine Climbing jacket. We pushed the limits of virtually every construction detail, and then distilled everything down to the simplest possible execution. Fit and ergo’s were also the focus of exceptional effort.
We patterned and built the first generation prototypes in-house at FYi. Followed by multiple development trips between Pemberton and Ventura. We even traveled to Viet Nam with members of the Patagonia design and development team to introduce and help commercialize all the details for production at the factory. Full props to the entire FYi/Patagonia development team for all the hard work that went into achieving one of the best garments to hit the market in years!

With autoimmune type I diabetes requiring potentially injurious insulin injections several times a day and type II diabetes, showing a growing role for insulin-producing pancreatic islets in disease progression, researchers around the world are searching for better ways to cope.
New animal research at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa and Ben-Gurion University of the Negev in Beersheba offer the hope that one day, transplants of tissue from the pancreas could lead to better glucose control for diabetics.
- Researchers Close To Cure For Juvenile Diabetes?
- Israeli-Developed Artificial Pancreas Tested On Diabetic Children
Prof. Shulamit Levenberg of the Technion, who has spent many years trying to create replacement human organs by building them up on a “scaffold,” has created tissue from the insulin-producing islets of Langerhans in the pancreas surrounded by a three-dimensional network of blood vessels.
The tissue she and her team created has significant advantages over traditional transplant material that has been harvested from healthy pancreatic tissue.
The insulin-producing cells survive longer in the engineered tissue, and produce more insulin and other essential hormones, Levenberg and colleagues wrote in the latest issue of the US medical journal PLOS One. When they transplanted the tissue into diabetic mice, the cells began functioning well enough to lower blood sugar levels in the mice.
Improving the odds of successful transplantation
Sign up for our free weekly newsletterSubscribe
Transplantation of islets – the pancreatic tissue that contains hormone-producing cells – is one therapy considered for people with type 1 diabetes, who produce little or no insulin because their islets are destroyed by their own immune systems.
But as with many tissue and organ transplants, donors are scarce, and there is a strong possibility that the transplantation will fail.
The well-developed blood vessel network built into the engineered tissue is key to its success, the researchers concluded. The blood vessels encourage cell-to-cell communication, by secreting growth hormones and other molecules that significantly improve the odds that transplanted tissue will survive and function normally.

11 Best Litter Boxes For A Small Apartment
Large litter boxes are frequently the best litter boxes available. You don't have to change them as frequently, and cats frequently prefer them.
However, having a huge litter box is often impossible in a small apartment. Instead, you must be inventive in your selection of a litter box for your environment.
Litter box shopping becomes more difficult in smaller places. You shouldn't just go with a smaller litter box because they're typically more difficult to keep clean.
Instead, you'll need a litter box made exclusively for compact places. You will require an excellent tiny litter box.
Most appear to be relatively little, yet they are intended to be utilized in small areas.
The Natural Wonder By far the best cat litter box for a tiny apartment is the Just For Cats Advanced High Sided Cat Litter Box.
When you live in a small apartment, your cat might actually scatter litter all over the place. With this in mind, the edges of this litter box are higher. When your cat digs, this helps maintain the litter in the box.
The surface of the litter box contains an antibacterial coating that reduces odors. Bacteria will not grow along the box’s sides, and the litter will not clump to the bottom.
It is also lot easier to clean when the time comes, so you won’t need to buy a new box as frequently. The open design makes it acceptable to most cats.
This litter box should function even if you have numerous cats. It is of reasonable size, however the most of its mass is vertical.
- Antimicrobial treatment
- Slanted sides
- Simple to clean
- Design that is open
- Just a simple box
A basic litter box is the Van Ness High Sides Cat Litter Pan. However, it is far less expensive than the majority of the competition.
While technically a “big” litter box, it is the ideal size for the majority of apartments. Because it is rectangular, it is easier to fit between things.
It is also exceedingly simple and easy to use and clean. The high sides keep litter from getting all over your house, which is especially important if your cat digs.
A high-polished finish makes the box easy to clean. Litter will not cling to it, and a simple rinse is all that is required to clean it. This box is created from recycled materials, so you can feel good about buying it.
Because of the open design, most cats will use it without complaint. While it isn’t as huge as some other options, it should be adequate for multi-cat households if spot-cleaning is done on a regular basis.
This is the ideal litter box for a tiny apartment weighing less than ten pounds. Otherwise, they can be a little too big for it. Nonetheless, if your cat fits, this is the greatest cat litter box for small flats for the money.
- Polished surface
- Made from reclaimed materials
- Slanted sides
- Cats weighing more than 10 pounds are not recommended.
Tidy Cats Breeze Cat Litter Box System is a one-of-a-kind litter box. You don’t just throw in some kitty litter. It instead has an upper section divided from a bottom drawer by a grate.
You place specifically manufactured pellets on the top half of the drawer and a pad within. Urine runs through the pellets and onto the pad, masking the stench. The pellets dehydrate the solids that sit on top.
For a variety of reasons, this approach may be advantageous in smaller apartments. For starters, it’s rather small, but the lack of clumping litter means you won’t have to spot clean it as frequently.
Because the pee does not remain on top of the litter box, it effectively cleans itself. Second, it controls odors nicely, which is vital when you’re in a confined environment. It is less difficult to clean than a regular cat litter box.
The biggest disadvantage of this box is that you will need to locate the unique pellets and pads. These aren’t at every store, but you can find them online.
You also can’t change the type of cat litter you use to suit your cats. There is only one possibility.
- Suitable for several cats
- Easily handles odors
- Simple to maintain
- Special pellets and pads are required.
If you live in a small apartment, you might have to get creative with your litter box shapes.
The Natural Wonder The Advanced High Sided Corner Cat Litter Box from Just For Cats is designed to fit into a corner, which typically works better in compact spaces.
This litter box can be a lifeline for individuals who don’t have a lot of floor space. It has a high-wall design that keeps the litter contained within the box.
This is especially essential in compact spaces because litter can spread considerably further. Because the surface is non-stick, clumped litter will not attach to it.
The box is simple to clean once it has been thoroughly cleaned. Typically, a simple rinse is all that is required. The antimicrobial covering prevents bacteria from forming inside the litter box, requiring less frequent cleaning.
This also helps to keep the scent under control, as bacteria is the main reason that most litter boxes begin to stink over time.
- High-wall construction
- It simply fits into a corner.
- Antimicrobial treatment
- It is tough to remove the label.
- Can be tipped over more easily than rectangular boxes
The IRIS Open Top Cat Litter Box with Shield performs a superb job of keeping litter inside the box with its shield attachment.
The attachment covers three walls while leaving one free for cats to readily enter and escape. Because it is still technically “open,” cats who are afraid of covered litter boxes may be happy with this one.
Because you don’t have to remove the lid, the open-top makes it easier to spot clean. Because the surface is polished, it is easier to keep clean.
Of course, you’ll need to clean it down now and then, but because to the coating, this is typically simple. The box’s deep bottom and feet keep it in place and prevent even giant cats from moving it.
However, these feet make cleaning the litter box more difficult because you have to pay special attention to the ridges. The shield isn’t very nicely made.
Because the seal is not tight, pee may slip out if your cat sprays. It’s also a little tough to snap in, which can be inconvenient if you need to remove it frequently for cleaning.
- Slanted sides
- Surface polishing
- Shield of poor quality
- Ridges make cleaning difficult.
The Litter Genie Cat Litter Box was billed as innovative, however it is essentially simply a pretty-looking litter box. It is also significantly more expensive than most other alternatives.
It is made of flexible, antibacterial plastic. This can aid in odor management by preventing the growth of odor-causing microorganisms.
The sleek appearance is appealing, but you must consider whether the premium price is justified. The box’s handles make it rather easy to move and clean, though you’re unlikely to need them frequently.
This litter box isn’t very long-lasting. After a while, it cracks, resulting in a massive mess. It works well when it isn’t broken, but unfortunately, it breaks far too frequently.
Handles frequently break as well, especially when transporting a full box.
- Made of pliable plastic
- Elegant style
- It readily fits into small areas.
- It is readily broken.
- Handles frequently snap.
Purchasing the Best Litter Box for a Small Apartment Buyer's Guide
You must be imaginative when purchasing a litter box for a small apartment. You will need to make good use of your space while also ensuring that your cat has everything they require.
This section will assist you in determining the ideal box for your space. Not all little apartments are created equal. You might have a convenient location where you can maintain large litter boxes.
Alternatively, you may only have one small corner. In any case, while selecting the best litter boxes for a tiny apartment, you must consider both your total area and your cat’s needs.
The best litter box is not a one-size-fits-all solution.
There are numerous litter box shapes available on the market. The majority of boxes are rectangular. They do, however, manufacture litter boxes with side openings as well as those for corners.
Even rectangular boxes can take on a variety of shapes. Others are square, while others are long and thin.
When you have a larger home, the shape may not be as important, but when you live in a small apartment, it can be critical. It is critical to find the proper shape for your flat.
Otherwise, you may have to rearrange items to fit them into the box. Take your cat’s size into account as well.
While most cats can fit in any form box, larger cats may require a longer box to properly use it. They may also be unable to fit properly into corner boxes.
This is a delicate balancing act. You need a litter box that is big enough for your cat. Otherwise, you’ll have litter and urine on the floor, or your cat may simply refuse to use the litter box at all.
However, if you live in a tiny space, you probably don’t have enough room for a litter box. As a result, you want the tiniest box feasible that your cat will still utilize.
Larger litter boxes are frequently required if you have many cats. You might, however, acquire two or more smaller litter boxes instead. These may be easier to fit in your home than one enormous box.
As they dig, almost every cat scatters around cat litter. This is just their nature. In a larger space, this isn’t always a big concern.
When you live in a small flat, though, it doesn’t take long for this litter to accumulate. As a result, you may prefer a box with high sides.
These can keep litter from spilling beyond the box while your cat digs around. They are also good for cats who spray since the high walls retain their pee in the box.
If your cat dislikes boxes with lids, this is a good alternative to an enclosed litter box.
You won’t be able to hide your litter box in a small flat. Instead, you’ll often have to post it somewhere public. As a result, you may want to pay extra attention to the litter box’s design.
Of course, if that’s what you want, a conventional bright-blue litter box will suffice. However, there are several trendy, stylish litter boxes on the market today that you might choose instead.
The biggest disadvantage of these litter boxes is that they are typically more expensive. You must decide whether style is worth the extra money.
Most cat owners are concerned about the cost of their pets. Most litter boxes are reasonably priced. They should not consume a significant portion of your budget.
Others, on the other hand, can be far more expensive. It all depends on the box you select. If you had a limitless budget, you might be able to afford the ideal box.
Otherwise, you may have to make a compromise. Modern-looking boxes are sometimes the most expensive, despite the fact that they do not always provide any additional benefits.
Other characteristics, such as high sides and lids, might also raise the price of the litter box.
This is one of the most crucial characteristics of a litter box, especially if you live in a tiny space.
If your litter box does not effectively regulate odors, you may find yourself smelling it throughout your entire residence, not just in one room.
There are numerous elements that can help to keep scents to a minimal. Antimicrobial coatings, for example, can reduce odor by preventing bacteria development.
Of course, it’s vital to realize that the litter box is only one component of the odor problem. The litter you choose, as well as the quantity of upkeep you perform on the box, are important considerations.
It will likely not smell as awful if you take better care of it.
In addition to spot cleaning, you will need to clean out the litter box on a regular basis. This is frequently accomplished by removing all of the litter and cleaning the pan itself.
The ease of cleaning a litter box is important, albeit you’re unlikely to clean it more than once a month. Many cat litter boxes have some kind of covering that makes them easier to clean.
Other litter boxes include features such as handles, which make it easier to transport the litter box to the dumping area.
Surprisingly, the longevity of litter boxes varies greatly. You don’t want your litter box to shatter while you’re changing it, resulting in a massive accumulation of litter on your floor.
As a result, the durability of a box must be considered. However, most businesses are not forthcoming about this element. No manufacturer will tell you if their box is prone to cracking.
As a result, your best bet is to rely on evaluations, which can provide you an accurate picture of how much a litter box can endure.
Selecting a litter box might be difficult, particularly if you live in a small apartment.
BestForPets (bestforpets.org) recommends the Nature’s Miracle Just For Cats Advanced High Sided Cat Litter Box for most apartment owners.
It is compact enough to fit into most locations while also accommodating most cats. The coating inhibits bacteria from forming and makes cleaning easier, reducing odor.
It features high sides to keep the cat litter in place rather than all over your floor, making it the ideal litter box for a tiny apartment in our opinion.
If you want to save money, the Van Ness High Sides Cat Litter Pan is a good option. This box is quite affordable and perfect for most apartment cats.
The high sides keep litter from spreading around the house, but the thinner shape allows it to fit into some apartments.
We hope our reviews and buyer’s guide of the best litter boxes for a small apartment have assisted you in determining which litter box is ideal for your needs.
Because no two apartments or cats are the identical, it is critical to consider both when selecting a litter box for your home.

In the past few years, and even more so in the current economic environment, it has become common for individuals to set up their own corporations, which can then be used to contract out the services of the principal (or often the sole) shareholder of the corporation to one or more businesses. There are some benefits to this arrangement from an income tax perspective, such as lower corporate income taxes, deduction of business expenses and the ability to pay salaries or dividends to family members, to name a few.
A low corporate tax rate is generally available to a Canadian-controlled private corporation on its active business income earned in Canada, up to its federal and provincial small business limits. Effective January 1, 2009, the federal limit is $500,000 (previously $400,000). The provincial limit varies from province to province – in British Columbia, the limit is $400,000.
Consider the example of Jane Doe. Jane is a business consultant who recently lost her job, and is looking at setting up her own corporation, JaneCo, to provide her consulting services. She has already lined up some work with a large firm, LargeCo, and was considering setting up a corporation to provide her services.
Is it a “personal services business?”
In setting up JaneCo to provide her services, Jane should be mindful of the “personal services business” provisions of the Income Tax Act (ITA). Income from a personal services business is excluded from active business income, pursuant to section 248 and subsection 125(7) of the ITA. As such, income from that business is not eligible for the lower corporate income tax rates. Instead, such income is taxed at the highest federal/B.C. corporate income tax rate of 30 per cent, rather than the lower rate of 13.5 per cent for 2009.
A personal services business provides the services of an “incorporated employee” to an entity, where the incorporated employee would otherwise reasonably be regarded as an officer or employee. Therefore, we have to determine whether JaneCo is providing the services of an incorporated employee or an independent contractor.
Contract of services or contract for services
Is Jane considered to be an incorporated employee or an independent contractor? The critical issue is whether her business consulting services are under a contract of services (i.e. an employment contract) or a contract for services (i.e. an independent contractor). A contract of service generally exists if the person for whom the services are performed has the right to control the amount, the nature and the management of the work to be done and the manner of doing it. A contract for services exists when a person is engaged to achieve a defined objective and is given all the freedom required to attain the desired result.
The Canada Revenue Agency has an excellent guide, RC4110, Employee or Self-Employed, that assists in determining the nature of the contract. Some factors to consider are:
Whether Jane can be “reasonably regarded” as an “employee” or as an “independent contractor” is a question that requires an analysis of all factors surrounding the terms and conditions of her contract with LargeCo. In general, to be considered an independent contractor, JaneCo must have agreed to provide a service with no commitment regarding the number of hours worked. Jane should also be performing the service with little or no supervision. JaneCo must issue its own invoices and receive cheques for work completed. In addition, Jane should not receive any benefits from LargeCo, and should operate from JaneCo’s own office and use its own equipment.
In addition, for JaneCo to be considered a personal services business, the incorporated employee (Jane), or a person related to Jane, must be a “specified shareholder” of the corporation providing the services. Specified shareholder generally means that Jane, or someone related to her, directly or indirectly owns 10 per cent or more of the issued shares of any class of JaneCo.
There are additional rules that include ownership in a related corporation, and similar rules apply for shares owned through a partnership or trust. However, a corporation will not be regarded as carrying on a personal services business in a taxation year if throughout the year it employs more than five full-time employees for that business, or if the amount was received for services rendered to an associated corporation.
In addition to a personal services business being excluded from the definition of an “active business,” paragraph 18(1)(p) of the ITA also limits deductions in computing the income from such a business. All deductions are disallowed, except:
Income from a personal services business is also not eligible for a tax refund on the basis of taxable dividends paid. It will therefore be taxable at the highest corporate rate.
Tax planning considerations
Under new rules introduced in 2006, any dividends paid by a corporation from its personal services business would be considered eligible dividends, which are subject to a lower personal tax rate than non-eligible dividends. The maximum tax on eligible dividends received by a B.C. resident is currently 19.9 per cent, compared to a rate of 32.7 per cent for non-eligible dividends. As such, it is no longer essential that all income earned in a personal services business be paid out to the incorporated employee as a salary.
Tax planning can be undertaken such that family members become shareholders of the personal services business corporation, so that dividends can be paid to them. However, it should be noted that the ITA contains various anti-avoidance provisions, such as subsections 56(2) and 56(4), or the General Anti-Avoidance Rules, that could result in such dividends being taxed in the hands of the principal shareholder. As such, care should be taken to ensure that any payments to someone other than the principal shareholder are appropriate.
In summary, while Jane may see some advantages from setting up JaneCo, she should be aware of the tax limitations if JaneCo is considered to be a personal services business. A careful review of her relationship with LargeCo, and any other contracts she obtains, is necessary to determine whether she is an incorporated employee or an independent contractor. Anyone considering incorporation should obtain professional advice before proceeding.

The metal fusion espoused by Planet X might overwhelm more mainstream listeners, yet the trio has already managed to tour the world in its first two years of existence. The Australian tour lasted two weeks, and Dixie Dregs/Steve Morse bassist, Dave LaRue, handled bass chores. The final show in Melbourne, before several hundred fans, was recorded for the "Live From Oz" album. "When we play together live, we just love it," declares keyboardist Derek Sherinian. "It's the ultimate form of freedom of expression. These guys are very serious players. They're extraordinarily gifted, and they strike fear in my heart everytime we are on stage!" "Live From Oz" features outstanding axe work from Tony MacAlpine, who also is featured in a 4 minute solo display of six-string strength.

David Jolly (podium): “mandated treatment”
GOSHEN – Orange County law enforcement officials and healthcare professionals said there needs to be a continued focus on treatment for opioid addicted individuals following a countywide drug bust.
Officials announced on Thursday that a 60-day sweep, involving 16 police agencies dubbed “Operation Joint Endeavor” yielded 50 arrests, half charged with heroin and/or fentanyl possession, while the others were charged for possession of crack cocaine and pharmaceuticals.
Three handguns were also confiscated in the operation that spanned the entire county.
District Attorney David Hoovler said although the operation represents an enforcement approach to this situation, where drug court, diversion and treatment would be ideally be employed, the results show the scourge and supply of drugs are too far reaching for that approach all the time.
“We need better treatment,” said Hoovler. “We need more medically assisted treatment. We need to have a better understanding of recovery and people in recovery that reduce the stigma of people that are addicted. I think that’s key. We focus on education, prevention, as much treatment as we can and enforcement, and you’re seeing the enforcement today.”
Officials said there’s a real issue with not only addiction stigmatization and availability of treatment, but getting individuals to accept treatment that is offered to them, especially in cases involving opioids where the drug has a very strong hold on them. With that information, officials are turning to healthcare providers.
David Jolly, CEO of Cornerstone Family Healthcare, a practice that offers
medication-assisted treatment to opioid addicts, said they recognize that,
in some cases, an arrest can motivate individuals who would otherwise
not seek treatment to get it. It highlights the importance of law enforcement
and healthcare providers having a partnership to address these individuals,
“How the police interact with that person, most importantly, how the court interacts with that person – by mandating treatment, or mandating a patient to do something – can really act as a vehicle to get a person in the door,” said Jolly. “When the person is in the door, it’s our responsibility to engage them and try to keep them in the door, so I think the partnership has to work. It has to be seamless.”
Officials said a majority of the 50 arrested in the sweep were considered to be low-level, street dealers. Many of them may have been, or still are, eligible for treatment alternatives to incarceration; but, due to causing the majority of community disruption, were targeted this time around.

The new chief constable of Greater Birchester Police gives Det. Supt. Harriet Martens (A Detective Under Fire, 2004, etc.) two weeks to solve a 30-year-old murder.
DNA evidence wasn’t available when Krishna Kumaramangalam was strangled back in 1968, minutes before he was to address his followers at the Imperial Hotel. Now, however, Chief Constable Newcomen takes advantage of the Imperial’s imminent demolition to demand that Harriet submit the seven suspects’ outer clothing to the police lab to ascertain which of them was sprayed with the Boy Preacher’s saliva in his dying moments. The case is a no-winner for Harriet. Either she’ll fall down on the job, or Newcomen will hog the credit for a routine review of the evidence. And she’s not at all pleased to find that the jittery constable seconded to help her is barely recovered from a nervous breakdown, or that two of the suspects—tabloid reporter Marcus Fairchild and Harish Nair, the Boy Preacher’s cousin and landlord—have already died. That leaves only five possibles: gasbag barrister Lucas Calvert, imperious teacher Priscilla Knott, crippled watch-repairer Barney Trapnell, indecorous Bubsy Willson, and sharp operator Sydney Bigod. Worse, the DNA results point to the one suspect Harriet’s convinced must be innocent. The case seems hopeless, unless of course Harriet has a providential dream that reveals the solution.

Amit Gupta, the promoter of Agrifields DMCC, which previously operated as Getax, is under fire again, this time, for allegedly conducting a “fraudulent share transfer” of 1,510,000 shares as well as “forging and manipulating the records” and also having “illegally struck of a Rs 9,95,64,143 loan” of Sunland Projects Pvt Ltd, conspiring against his brother, Ashok Gupta, as per an FIR lodged by Kolkata Police on the 22nd of December, 2023.
The case has been filed in the National Company Law Tribunal “NCLT”, which the Alipore Court in Kolkata heard in court 6th November, 2023, and ordered the respondents to submit their response by the 4th December, 2023, which neither Amit Gupta or Sunland Projects did, leading to the FIR.
Sunland owns real estate across Kolkata as well as across India, and has equity positions in other businesses. One of its projects, Sunland Residency in Rajharat, Kolkata, spreads over 54,000 square feet (1.24 acres). The company’s assets exceed 700 crore rupees, as per submissions.
As per court documents, the share transfer, which amounts to approximately 33.33% of the company, was not signed by the petitioner, was not registered in front of the Public Notary and the gift deed was not uploaded in the Ministry of Corporate Affairs website, three procedural misconducts. The shares were transferred to Amit’s father G.S. Gupta, and Amit, in 2018, became the ultimate beneficial owner of those shares.
This isn’t the first time the promoter of Agrifields DMCC, and Getax, was in the public light. As per Sydney Morning Herald, “The US documents name Getax director Amit Gupta as the ‘target of a criminal investigation who is alleged to have conspired with others to bribe foreign public officials and to have engaged in money laundering and other offences’.”
Recently uncovered, Amit Gupta, his father G.S Gupta, mother Sushila Gupta and family received multiple income tax notices exceeding 1700 crore, dated between 22nd March 2022 and 7th July 2022 with the probe unveiling the non-filing of income tax returns by multiple members of the family, coupled with discrepancies unearthed in the source of funds, under the anti-money laundering and corruption act.
Gupta’s legal matters underscores the collaborative efforts of global authorities to ensure accountability for cross-border financial misconduct. The ongoing Income Tax investigation in India, complemented by the FIR filing, illuminates the intricate nature of Gupta’s financial dealings, contributing a heightened layer of complexity to the evolving narrative.

Alison Brie is the latest actor to apologize for portraying a person of color on a TV show or film.
In an Instagram post over the weekend, the “Glow” star said she wished that she “didn’t voice the character of Diane Nguyen,” a Vietnamese American character in the Netflix animated series “BoJack Horseman.”
“I now understand that people of color should always voice people of color. We missed a great opportunity to represent the Vietnamese-American community accurately and respectfully, and for that I am truly sorry,” wrote Brie, who added that she “applauds” other actors who previously stepped down from voicing people of color in animated shows.
The 37-year-old says she “learned a lot from them.”
Brie’s apology comes after “BoJack Horseman” creator Raphael Bob-Waksberg shared a lengthy Twitter thread on the logic of casting a white woman to play Diane and how he feels about the decision now.
In addition to saying that hiring Brie was a mistake, he wrote: “We should have hired a Vietnamese writer, and a Vietnamese actress to play Diane — or if not that, changed the character to match who we did hire.”
Bob-Waksberg concluded his thread about the character by saying, “The appearance of diversity without true diversity behind-the-scenes isn’t real representation; worse, it’s appropriation.”
Last week, Kristen Bell and Jenny Slate both issued statements announcing that they would no longer voice their respective characters on “Central Park” and “Big Mouth.” Their reasoning was that their characters on both animated series should have been portrayed by Black or mixed-race actors.
Bell and her show’s creative team apologized and said they’d be recasting the role of Molly with “a Black or mixed race actress and give Molly a voice that resonates with all of the nuance and experiences of the character as we’ve drawn her.”
Slate also apologized and told fans that “ending my portrayal of Missy is one step in a life-long process of uncovering the racism in my actions.”

Dome growth continued to focus on the east and north-eastern sector of the dome complex and rockfalls and small pyroclastic flows have continued spalling off the active lobe affecting the north-eastern flanks of the dome. An observation flight on 24 October showed that the gap between the talus slope on the north eastern sector of the crater rim above White's Ghaut has been almost completely in-filled allowing rockfalls and pyroclastic flows to spill over down the northern flanks of the volcano. A series of small stubby spine like structures were also observed on the south eastern summit region of the dome.
Seismicity remained dominated by rockfall activity. The seismic network recorded 732 rock fall signals, 169 long-period rockfall signals, 88 long period earthquakes, 2 hybrid earthquakes and 2 volcano-tectonic earthquakes.
Winds to the north and northeast during the first four days of the reporting period carried the volcanic plume out of range of the MVO monitoring network and meant that sulphur dioxide (SO2) flux measurements were not possible. Subsequently the flux rate varied between 335 and 376 tones per day, with an average of 356 tones per day.


France will ban the sales of all fossil fuel-powered cars by the year 2040 in a bid to become a carbon neutral country.
There’s no denying that climate change is real and that cars are a big part of the problem. Cars burning fossil fuels like gasoline and diesel produce CO2, and since there are now over a billion cars in the world, conventional vehicles are spewing out a significant portion of the world’s greenhouse gases.
It has to stop, but few countries are willing to take the drastic steps necessary to change the way we drive. However, one country is doing the fearless and courageous thing and banning gas and diesel-powered vehicles outright.
France is currently debating a law that would ban the sale of fossil fuel vehicles by 2040. The law is part of France’s goal to become a completely carbon neutral country by the year 2050,
The proposed legislation was first floated back in 2017 when current French president Emmanuel Macron's term began. There was some doubt as to whether or not the law would be considered during the yellow vest protests in 2018 which saw angry mobs wield slogans and signs that decried the country’s gas prices, carbon tax, and high cost of living. The government went silent on many of their environmental regulations which caused then environmental minister Nicolas Hulot to quit in protest.
However, it seems that France has redoubled its commitment to remove gas-powered cars by 2040. Transportation minister Elizabeth Borne assured French news station BFM that the government will make France a carbon-neutral country by 2050, and conventional vehicles play no part in that plan.
"We have a target for carbon neutrality by 2050 and we need a credible trajectory towards that, which includes a ban on the sale of vehicles that consume fossil fuels by 2040," she said.
However, France is home to both Renault and PSA Groupe, two car companies that have been lagging behind the competition when it comes to alternative fuel source vehicles. The government will also assist local carmakers in converting their fleets to electricity by rolling out a national network of electric charging stations.

Fable Legends Preview
Fable Legends doesn´t have a release date yet, but we managed to get a taster of the co op campaign over the week at Eurogamer Expo. We weren´t disappointed.
Fable Legends, the fifth title in the Xbox Exclusive series, is also the first in the series to not be led by Peter Molyneux. Although one of our much loved series, Fable games often fall short of expectation and have, in previous years, left us a little disappointed. With an almost entirely new dev team on-board at Lionhead, will Fable Legends right the wrongs of the past?
Legends will consist of one main campaign which can be played through independently, with 3 NPC heroes at your side, or online co-operatively with 3 friends, and will only be available on Xbox One. We managed to get our hands on the co-op offering, and here are our thoughts.
Error loading MacroEngine script (file: ShowAsset.cshtml)
There were four playable co-op Heroes on offer in the Fable Legends demo; 'Rook', the ranged crossbow specialist,' Winter', the mage, 'Inga', the Shieldmaiden warrior, and 'Sterling' the savvy swordsman, who band together to defeat 'The Villain' who is controlled by a fifth player.
We had the pleasure of playing as the Rook and quickly got to grips with the controls. We found aiming a little fiddly when down the sights of the crossbow, but we often find that this can usually be improved by tweaking the sensitivity. By the end of the demo though, we were picking off those pesky bomb hurling goblins with ease.
On the flip side to Team Hero, a fifth player takes on the role of The Villain in a top down affair. The Villain has to place enemies, traps, gates, bombs and more onto the map in an attempt to thwart the Heroes' progress and eventual (here's hoping) victory.
Environments were beautifully vibrant, well textured, and felt like a natural evolution of the Fable aesthetic from last gen to current gen consoles. The characters were thoughtful and well designed, and they definitely exuded personality, whether it was through their stance, their speech, or they way they move; all of which added to the immersion.
The demo left us with high hopes for Fable Legends, and we sincerely hope Lionhead deliver on the finished product. We also won a cape for being the best player in the team, just sayin'.

This is not really "news" but is worth repeating. The National Association of Hispanic Journalists (NAHJ) calls on our nation’s news media to use accurate terminology in its coverage of immigration and to stop dehumanizing undocumented immigrants. NAHJ is concerned with the increasing use of pejorative terms to describe the estimated 11 million undocumented people living in the United States. NAHJ is particularly troubled with the growing trend of the news media to use the word “illegals” as a noun, shorthand for "illegal aliens." Using the word in this way is grammatically incorrect and crosses the line by criminalizing the person, not the action they are purported to have committed. NAHJ calls on the media to never use “illegals” in headlines.

KZN MEC for Cooperative Governance and Traditional Affairs (Cogta), Nomusa Dube-Ncube, has welcomed the 12-year prison sentence without the option of a fine or suspension handed down by the Commercial Crimes Court to the mastermind of the theft of R7.5-million of departmental funds that occurred almost four years ago.
The main accused, Mex Dladla, who masterminded the theft also previously implicated two KZN Cogta employees who, according to his version of events, executed the theft by circumventing the department’s public procurement procedures during a monetary transfer to Ingwe local municipality.
“This harsh prison sentence without the option of a fine or suspension is a welcome development and it should serve as a lesson to all public servants and fraudsters in general who disregard or attempt to disregard the code of conduct that prescribes that they execute their duties with integrity,” said Cogta MEC Nomusa Dube-Ncube.
KZN Cogta made headlines in 2015 when one of its employees facilitated the multi-million rand fraud by circumventing the department’s complex system of checks and balances. The department has since tightened the screws and made its payment protocols more impregnable to fraudulent activities.

Earlier today, at the Black Hat USA security conference in Las Vegas, U.K.-based security vendor Sophos Ltd. published a new white paper about an insidiously slick and effective “ransomware-as-a-service” (RaaS) kit named Philadelphia. Here’s an inside look at that underworld product offering and preview of the threat landscape ahead based on a recent conversation with Dan Schiappa, senior vice president and general manager of the end user and network security group at Sophos.

Even the best security systems are powerless to protect companies from free-clicking, uninformed employees. Sophos, Schiappa observes, has 3,000 employees.
“If 2,999 are great at not clicking things, you’re going to find the one who does,” he says. “It’s amazing how easy it is to get people to open attachments or click links.”
In that vulnerability, though, lies an opportunity for channel pros to protect their customers while making extra money by offering security awareness training. Sophos, Schiappa notes, shipped an anti-phishing user education tool earlier this year.
“That’s another great thing for our partners, to be able to go out and explain the dangers of phishing and then be able to provide a tool to their customer that can actually help them solve that problem through training,” he states.

Bright Lights, Big City
A light show of brilliantly colored laser beams and an assortment of vintage cars may seem like an odd pairing, but not to Nam June Paik, the Korean-born video artist, and his admirers.
From June 26 through Sept. 2, Rockefeller Center will be the site of ''Transmission,'' Mr. Paik's first outdoor laser installation. A 30-foot-tall radio tower will be outfitted with the artist's signature green, blue and red laser beams. At night, every hour on the hour, those colorful beams will jet out of the top of the tower and ricochet around Rockefeller Center toward NBC's ''Today'' show studio, east through the Channel Gardens to Fifth Avenue and west toward Radio City Music Hall. During the day, the tower will glow with red, blue and green neon lights.
Rockefeller Center will also display 16 cars from Mr. Paik's monumental ''32 Cars for the 20th Century: Play Mozart's Requiem Quietly,'' a 1997 work on loan from the Samsung Foundation of Culture in Seoul, South Korea. The cars, from the 1920's to the 50's, have been stripped of their engines, painted silver and outfitted with speakers that play Mozart's Requiem. Viewers peering inside the windshield of each car will see relics of the early television age: piles of discontinued sound equipment, like old speakers, record players and tape recorders.
''Transmission'' is meant to meld mid-20th-century broadcast communications equipment with 21st-century laser technology.
''It's putting the 20th-century automobile together with 21st-century laser technology,'' said Jerry I. Speyer, president and chief executive of Tishman Speyer Properties, which owns Rockefeller Center. ''It's art, but it's also history.''
The Public Art Fund, an organization that presents art projects around the city, has put together Mr. Paik's installation on behalf of Rockefeller Center.
''Nam June Paik's work represents the past and the future of Rockefeller Center,'' said Tom Eccles, director of the Public Art Fund. ''What with NBC, Associated Press and other news organizations, Rockefeller Center has become one of the great centers of communications in the world, which in some ways is like the oil industry, whose wealth built Rockefeller Center a century ago.''
For the last two summers, the Public Art Fund has shown contemporary art at Rockefeller Center. In 2000, more than 300,000 visitors a day saw Jeff Koons's lovable 40-foot ''Puppy,'' a terrier made of 70,000 flowering plants, and last year ''Maman,'' a spooky 18,000-pound bronze spider by Louise Bourgeois, drew similar crowds. But this is the first time the Public Art Fund has commissioned a work especially for Rockefeller Center; both ''Puppy'' and the spider had been previously exhibited in Europe.
Picasso's Lover, Again
Now that the important spring auctions of Impressionist, modern and contemporary art in New York are over, Sotheby's, Christie's and de Pury & Luxembourg (minus the Phillips this time, for legal reasons) are trying to drum up excitement for their next round of big sales, in London next month.
This week Christie's announced that it would auction a Picasso on June 25. The painting, ''Nude Wearing a Necklace,'' is a portrait of the artist's lover Marie-Thérèse Walter, seated with her head resting on her arm and her bright blue eyes open. It is signed and, on the stretcher, inscribed Boisgeloup, referring to the chateau outside Paris where the portrait was painted from July to October 1932.
A European collector bought the painting from the Galerie Simon in Paris in the 1930's, and it has stayed in the same family ever since.

Daniel Vettori, the New Zealand captain, has expressed concern that the new umpire referrals system could dilute the powers of the on-field officials if it is used constantly for marginal calls. Vettori suggested that it would be a better approach for the more obvious decisions like detecting inside-edges for lbw appeals or nicks to the wicketkeeper.
He also proposed only one referral per team per innings instead of the three being used in the New Zealand-West Indies series. "What's happening a little bit is the 50-50 ones are coming into play and I don't think that's what it was invented for," Vettori told NZPA. "It's when you nick it onto your pad and you're given out lbw or you nick it behind and you're given not out - those are the ones we want to get out of the game as opposed to the good umpiring decisions."
A total of six referrals were used during the drawn first Test in Dunedin. Daniel Flynn, the New Zealand batsman, was the first to be out in such a manner in this series, lbw to Chris Gayle for 95 on the opening day. He was initially given the benefit of the doubt but Gayle challenged the verdict and Rudi Koertzen, the third official, agreed with the West Indians.
"If you look at it [the Flynn replay], you can see it's out but is that the reason it was brought in ... to decide on such a fine-line decision?" asked Vettori. "The premise of cricket is the batsman always gets the benefit of the doubt and I think you want to still keep that part of the game in."
Vettori benefited off one such appeal, against Denesh Ramdin on the fourth day. Ramdin came a long way forward to defend and it appeared as if the ball was slipping down the leg side when it struck the pad. Initially given out, Ramdin challenged and Koertzen upheld the decision after studying replays for more than three minutes. Despite winning the appeal in his favour, Vettori wasn't entirely convinced. His earlier shout for a bat-pad catch off Xavier Marshall was far more obvious.
"I think there's probably a little bit of fine-tuning needed," he said. "Some of us have talked about having only one referral an innings so you know it's out when you ask for it. In the end, it's the obvious ones you want fixed by the third umpire." The system was first trialled during India's tour of Sri Lanka earlier this year.

In Miami stores, an astonishing find: The Cuban propagandize uniform …
September 9, 2014 - School Uniform
MIAMI — At a Dollarazo bonus store in Miami, a quarrel of red-wine colored pants, shorts and jumpers offers a unchanging patron favorite — circuitously accurate copies of a Cuban propagandize uniform.
“Customers would ask for it,” pronounced manager Orestes Canales. “So we brought it.”
Each year, thousands of uniforms sole by bonus capitalists in Miami find their approach to a comrade island where they are ragged by Cuban propagandize children.
The Cuban supervision provides usually one or dual uniforms per child any year, creation additional propagandize wardrobe one some-more object for kin abroad to squeeze and send behind to Cuba. Despite Washington’s five-decade Cuban embargo, mercantile links between families in both countries sojourn strong.
“There’s an aged Cuban joke,” pronounced Graciella Cruz-Taura, a story highbrow during Florida Atlantic University. “‘What is it that we need to do good in Cuba, to be happy?'”
The response: “Family abroad.”
Canales pronounced he sells about 1,000 Cuban propagandize uniforms annually, while a circuitously store owned by a same company, “Nooo Que Barato!” or “Damn, That’s Cheap!” sells a few thousand more. For $4.99, business can buy a reproduction of a pants used by Cuban primary propagandize students. Ninety-nine cents buys a claim collared white shirt.
Roberto Salgado, a unison lighting technician, bought 6 white shirts for his nephews on a new afternoon during “Nooo Que Barato!”
“Being children, they get dirty,” pronounced Salgado, 44. “And a family can’t means to rinse any day.”
Serafin Blanco, a owners of both bonus stores, pronounced he has been offered a burgundy Cuban primary propagandize uniforms, and spasmodic a delegate mustard-colored ones for during slightest 10 years.
He buys a uniforms from U.S. companies that furnish identical colored outfits and sells them alongside other propagandize reserve and equipment purchased during auctions.
Inside “Damn, That’s Cheap!” are refurbished laptops starting during $150 and $10 backpacks. For any $100 they spend, business get a giveaway duffel bag to ride a items.
“For Cuba, we have it all!” a store proclaims in a many radio and radio ads.
A micro-economy has grown in Miami catering to Cuban-Americans who frequently send garments and food behind to kin on a island. That marketplace has grown in a final decade, with some-more than 30,000 Cubans on normal withdrawal any year given 2002. Many of them say tighten ties with kin in Cuba.
In enclaves like Hialeah and Little Havana, bonus stores are filled with all a family competence need: Shoes, underwear, baby clothing, silverware, coffee makers, and even butterfly nets. Cuba transport agencies and shipping services line a streets.
The Cuban supervision imposed stricter boundary Monday on a series of products authorised in and increasing tradition duties, that families in Miami pronounced would harm their Cuban relatives.
Sales of a Cuban propagandize uniform strike a musical chord because, in some ways, it’s a pitch of a revolution, that a immeasurable infancy of a outcast race strongly opposes.
Education has been a priority for a comrade Cuban supervision given a early years of a 1959 revolution. Volunteers were sent via a island to boost a country’s gloomy preparation rate. At a time, about 25 percent of Cubans were illiterate.
Today, Cuba has a 100 percent girl preparation rate, according to UNESCO, one of a few general organizations with Cuban preparation data.
But resources, from books to uniforms, can be scarce.
In Havana, several relatives during uniform pickup day recently griped during how few they are means to get.
“For me, ideally, they’d have uniforms accessible and everybody could buy as many as they want,” pronounced Orieta Diez, 33, an optometrist with a 7-year-old daughter. “I can’t come home from work and rinse and iron any day. we need 5 shirts for a week.”
She pronounced a usually sizes she was means to get for her daughter were too vast and had to be tailored.
Gisela Garcia, 28 and a mom of dual children, pronounced she got additional uniforms from friends whose children had outgrown theirs.
In Miami, Josefa Espinoza, 43, is all too wakeful of a struggles confronting her family on a island to make certain their children go to propagandize in respectable uniforms. For several years now, she has bought a red-burgundy primary propagandize uniforms, along with backpacks, pencils and crayons for dual nieces.
“Everything they need for school,” she said, “you need to buy here.”

Industries Qatar Best Performer in Q4 on Earnings: Doha Mover
Industries Qatar (IQCD) is set to become the best performer on the Persian Gulf nation’s gauge this quarter as investors bet 2012 profit will exceed expectations and after the company allowed foreigners to buy more stock.
Shares of the Middle East’s second-biggest petrochemicals maker rose in five of the past six trading days, gaining 2.2 percent in the period. The shares slipped 0.2 percent to 155.4 riyals at the close in Doha today after rising as much as 0.9 percent. The stock, which was the most traded on Qatar’s gauge by value today, has advanced 10 percent in the fourth quarter, making it the best performer among 20 members on the index.
The Doha-based company’s foreign ownership limit was raised to 12.25 percent from 7.5 percent in September. Qatari companies limit foreign ownership at 25 percent, although they’re allowed to increase the limit to 49 percent if shareholders approve. The company, which also makes fertilizers and steel, posted a 27 percent jump in third-quarter profit, topping estimates. Industries Qatar has the biggest weighting on Doha’s gauge.
“It’s a solid company and remains attractively valued” as full-year earnings may beat expectations,’’ said Tariq Qaqish, who helps manage $100 million as deputy head of asset management at Al Mal Capital in Dubai. “After the company increased the foreign ownership limit, it looks more attractive to international fund managers.”
Overseas investors have been interested in Gulf Cooperation Council assets as the oil and gas exporters invest petroleum wealth into expansion plans. Qatar, which is preparing to host the 2022 World Cup by investing $130 billion to build infrastructure including stadiums, will post economic growth of 6.1 percent this year, the highest in the six-nation GCC, according the median estimate of 11 analysts compiled by Bloomberg.
Industries Qatar may post an 11 percent gain in full-year profit to 8.8 billion riyals ($2.4 billion), according to the mean estimate of 13 analysts on Bloomberg. Profit will probably continue to rise annually through 2015, analyst estimates on Bloomberg show. Industries Qatar’s shares have advanced 17 percent so far this year, compared with a decline of 3.8 percent for the benchmark QE Index.
Fourteen analysts recommend investors buy Industries Qatar’s shares, while one advises they hold them. The company has a price-to-earnings ratio of 10.3 times, compared with 9.6 times for the QE Index. (DSM)

Hello out there, We decided to do a blog post on tools you need to purchase to complete a tiny house from beginning to end. You may think the list would be huge, but you don't have to spend a fortune on tools. You may need to borrow from friends or family here and there to get by but the main tools you need to purchase to do the bulk of the building are on this list.
1: Cordless drill with two good rechargeable batteries- Buying a good battery drill from the beginning will save you lots of time on recharging batteries and less hassle of dealing with extension cords. It's worth buying name brands and spending the extra money when it comes to buying your drill.
2: Circular Saw- This will come in handy during framing, finishing and general building. Every nog (dwang- look it up) in our house was cut with this incredible tool!
3: Hammer- Self explanatory.
4: Measuring tape- Make sure you have a few of these lying around where you are working, because when you need one they are never there.
We had a productive weekend again. Finally installing the lockers!
