EC TO REVIEW APPROPRIATENESS OF PM HOLDING WEEKLY TV |SHOW ONCE HE JOINS THE FRAY AS AN ELECTORAL CANDIDATE
THE ELECTION Commission (EC) announced yesterday that Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha can still hold mobile Cabinet meetings despite political parties and members of the public saying it gives him an unfair advantage in the election.
He has already been added to a pro-junta party’s list of PM candidates.
EC deputy secretary-general Nat Laosisavakul said yesterday that General Prayut, in his capacity as premier, can continue performing his public administration duties, including holding mobile Cabinet meetings in different provinces.
Given the blurred line between working on a field trip and conducting an electoral campaign, Nat admitted that there was a matter of ethical appropriateness to be considered.
He said Prayut’s responsibility as prime minister was one thing and ethics was another. However, the agency would have to review whether this was against the law, he added.
The agency remains unsure about what decision it should make in relation to Prayut’s weekly television address.
It is still not clear if Prayut can continue with the programme or if it will have to be stopped once he becomes a PM candidate, Nat said.
Nat met with Deputy Prime Minister Wissanu Krea-ngam yesterday to discuss the roles and responsibilities of state servants during the upcoming election. It was speculated that the two might also discuss what Prayut could or could not do when he becomes an official electoral candidate.
The development came after the pro-junta Phalang Pracharat announced on Wednesday that they would invite the coup leader to run as its PM candidate.
Party leader Uttama Savanayana will hand the formal invitation to Prayut in person today.
Though Prayut has yet to give a clear answer, he did say yesterday that he has until February 8 to make a decision. He thanked the party for its invitation.
Prayut has faced criticism that these moves have been planned from the very day he staged the coup. However, he has denied having such ambitions.
“I have seen many problems in the past five years. So, I think I need to carry on if the people want me to carry on,” he said. “This is up to the people, not me.”
Prayut has also steadfastly refused to give up power in the lead-up to the election, though his potential status as a prime ministerial candidate has stirred up controversy.
Critics say the election may not be free and fair if Prayut continues to hold on to his position, as he will have the advantage of using state resources to woo voters, along with a personal communication channel through his weekly TV show.
In addition to Prayut, Phalang Pracharat also resolved on Wednesday that its leader Uttama and Deputy PM Somkid Jatusripitak would be on their PM list.
Somkid is currently in Japan for meetings with investors. He said yesterday that he had not been contacted by the party but would consider their nomination once he returned to Thailand.
He added that he hoped Prayut would accept the invitation to top the ticket. Given that Thailand is in the middle of a significant transition, Prayut will be a perfect PM candidate, he said.
In a related development, the regime’s arch-rival, Pheu Thai Party, yesterday was pressing to have Phalang Pracharat declared an illegitimate party.
Pheu Thai lawyer Kriangkrai Leekitwatana said he would again ask the EC today about his complaint that Phalang Pracharat’s status might be questionable, since it was registered last November by Uttama before he had legally become a party member.

The government on Friday reacted strongly to Moody's Investor Service changing its outlook on India's ratings to negative, saying the country continues to be among the major, fastest-growing economies in the world.
The Finance Ministry said fundamentals of the economy remain quite robust and series of reforms undertaken recently would stimulate investments.
The credit rating agency downgraded India's outlook from 'stable' to 'negative', saying there was increasing risks that economic growth will remain materially lower than the past.
"India's relative standing remains unaffected," the Finance Ministry said citing International Monetary Fund's (IMF) recent World Economic Outlook putting Indian economic growth at 6.1 per cent in 2019 and rising to 7 per cent in the year after.
"As India's potential growth rate remains unchanged, assessment by IMF and other multilateral organisations continue to underline a positive outlook on India," it said.
The ministry said the government has undertaken a series of reforms in the financial sector and others to strengthen the economy as a whole.
"Government of India has also proactively taken policy decisions in response to the global slowdown. These measures would lead to a positive outlook on India and would attract capital flows and stimulate investments," it said.
"The fundamentals of the economy remain quite robust with inflation under check and bond yields low. India continues to offer strong prospects of growth in the near and medium-term."

Reminiscing the past, the Mishimatei salt meats, opened in 1873, satisfy the meat lovers! The ground floor serves as a sheep butcher's shop, it is upstairs, in private rooms, that the well-sliced meat is served. Four types of preparations are available for the gourmet. The most familiar and popular is sukiyaki.
Thin slices of meat, as well as vegetables, simmer in a tasty broth. Everything is devoured once soaked in a bowl with a raw egg. Oilyaki, less exotic, is no less delicious: it's about cooking small steaks and greens on a griddle brushed with oil.
Finally, mizudaki and mizore nabe, shabu-shabu variants, also combine the meat with a broth, which only makes a quick passage. Whichever you choose, the menu is 10,000 yen ($87/77€) per person.

A study shows that about 50% of the tweets pushing to "reopen America" on Twitter are actually from bots, not real people. This means machines are leading the online campaigns about the risks and benefits of easing the coronavirus restrictions in the US.
The study also found that among tweets about "reopening America," 66% possibly came from human accounts that use bot assistants to spread their tweets, while 34% were from bots. Also, 60 among the 1,000 most influential retweeters turned out to be bots, while 82% of the top 50 influential accounts are actually bots.
Business Insider found these figures are higher than usual bot activities at about 10% to 20%, particularly during US elections or natural disasters.
Although researchers were unable to locate where these bots are from, they were able to identify them by analyzing their frequency of tweets, the number of followers, and their location using artificial intelligence systems.
Kathleen Carley, a computer-science professor who led the research, said in a release that these accounts are tweeting more frequently than humans and are "appearing to be in one country and then another a few hours later is indicative of a bot."
Carley also said they also check on the use of an "exact hashtag or messaging that appears to be copied and pasted from one bot to the next."
Study finds Twitter bots sending 'Reopen America' tweets leading campaigns to ease coronavirus restrictions
The study has exposed that a lot of fake Twitter accounts are inflating the call to reopen America. Also, researchers found over 100 types of inaccurate COVID-19 stories, although tweets calling to end the COVID-19 restrictions were the most common.
These results show that Twitter needs to do a better job of removing bots that flood the platform and make it difficult to distinguish from real accounts. Moreover, this study hurts the tech company's anti-misinformation drive that cracks down on users who tweet baseless conspiracy theories. The tech giant is also testing new reply controls that may help stop or slow down the spread of misinformation.
There are some causes for the surge in bot activity. While people may have more available time to establish complex bot networks during the lockdown, Security Boulevard found that numerous bot networks for hire have become available in the market since 2018.
For just $20, a person can hire these botnets to fire up a Distributed denial of service (DDoS) attack for a week. Wired reported how GitHub survived the biggest DDoS attack when the platform received 1.35 terabits per second of traffic hits simultaneously. But they silenced out the attackers in less than 20 minutes through its DDoS mitigation service, Akamai Prolexic.
Meanwhile, Carley also said that as the pandemic impacts societies across the globe, some countries and interest groups were using it to promote their political agendas.


House Republicans have no enthusiasm for raising the minimum wage by $1 to $6.15, but they are willing to go along provided the Democrats say yes to $76 billion in tax cuts for small businesses. Speaker J. Dennis Hastert made the offer and also promised to remove other impediments that have stalled the minimum-wage bill.
Leaders of both parties, including President Clinton, have participated in such legislative swaps. The haggling is not a pretty scene, but sometimes it gets some work done. Capitol Hill has scarcely been a beehive of activity in 2000, so inching forward just before elections would be seen as achievement.
Ideally, the minimum-wage bill and tax cuts ought to be considered on their own merits. But at a time when political principles are subordinated to electoral posturing, that may be asking too much.
Democrats have made raising the minimum wage a battle cry even though many states, including Connecticut, already have passed the $6.15 per hour threshold. Our state's minimum wage is already $6.35. Indeed, labor shortages have forced many employers to pay more than that to attract and retain employees.
So passage of a federal minimum-wage law is belated. Contrary to dire warnings, raising the minimum wage has not harmed most employers or had a measurable impact on inflation. Yet Democrats and Republicans have fought over higher minimum wages as if this were America's defining issue.
Similarly, the tax cuts being promoted by Republicans are not wildly popular among voters. Polls show that taxes are not a serious concern of Americans in 2000. Yet the GOP has held on to the issue for dear life. Party leaders have yet to meet a tax cut they don't like.
If Mr. Hastert and Mr. Clinton want to get serious legislative work done before the election, they will help older people pay for prescription drugs, ensure that all children have adequate medical care and protect everyone else with a patients' bill of rights.
Correction was published Thursday September 14, 2000 on Page A2.The Wednesday editorial ``Swap Meet On Capitol Hill'' incorrectly stated Connecticut's minimum wage. It is $6.15 an hour.

'Noah' director Darren Aronofsky wanted the film to replicate the Bible's version of the story as much as possible.
Darren Aronofsky wanted to replicate the Bible's version of Noah's Ark for 'Noah', according to visual effects supervisor Ben Snow.
The 45-year-old director first became interested in the story when he penned a poem based on the tale for a writing contest and won an award to read it in front of the United Nations, and when it came to making the film he wanted it to be as similar to the original as possible.
Snow said: ''Darren wanted to avoid clichés. No elephants or things that you get in children's play sets. He sent us a reference book that had [drawings of] animals from Victorian times, when they'd heard about platypuses and dodos but hadn't seen them, so they're imagining what they'd look like.''
Snow told the New York Post newspaper: ''One of the things that Darren wanted to do was anchor it in reality, give it a grittiness. That's only achieved by going out there and filming on location.''
Darren is also said to have kept the design of the ark simple in order to maintain a sense of realism, and Ben claims it ended up looking like a ''large coffin''.
He added: ''One of the things we discussed early on is that the ark isn't a cruise ship. It's a life raft.''
'Noah' is set to be released in the United States later this week and in the United Kingdom next month.

The accused further stated that she “liked it”
A film actress lodged a complaint on December 11, 2020, against an unidentified man, who allegedly masturbated over a video call made to her repeatedly.
The actress approached Versova Police, who have booked an unidentified accused under relevant sections of the Indian Penal Code (IPC) and Information Technology (IT) Act.
The actress said she had been similarly harassed in 2019, she had reportedly received eight lewd WhatsApp video calls.
After asking the help of a friend to record her screen during a call, she filed an FIR (First Incident Report) with the Mumbai Police.
It had allegedly taken the police over two months to track down the suspect previously, who had turned out to be a man from Delhi.
According to the actress, she received a WhatsApp video call on December 11, 2020, from an unidentified number with a UK area code.
She disconnected twice and accidentally answered the third time, only to see that a man was masturbating on the video call.
The actress quickly took screenshots of the call to lodge a complaint and hanged up.
The accused then messaged the actress, addressing her by name, on why was she not coming on screen and hiding her face.
The accused further stated that she “liked it” before.
The irate actress asked the accused as to when did she like it.
She was then sent a thread of messages saying that he was calling his friend and had accidentally called her instead.
When the actress demanded an explanation, he claimed that he was a 20-year-old student studying in the UK.
The actress stated in her complaint:
“I did not believe a word he said and approached police to lodge a complaint.
“Last year also, a similar incident had occurred wherein I had received lewd video calls from eight numbers.
“An FIR was filed then as well.”
A police officer said that they have booked the unidentified accused under relevant sections of the IPC.
The accused was also booked under the IT Act for sexual harassment (Section 354A) and word, gesture or act intended to insult the modesty of a woman (Section 509) along with section 67A of the IT Act.
Raghvendra Thakur, senior inspector of Versova police station stated:
“We are investigating the matter and have put his number in the system to search for leads. No arrest has been made.”

Most benign lumps aren't indicators of later breast cancer
But, study adds, the risk can vary, depending on what the growths look like in the lab
ROCHESTER, MINN. -- Most women with breast lumps or other abnormalities that turn out to be noncancerous do not face a substantially greater risk of developing breast cancer later, especially if they have little family history of the disease, a reassuring study found.
However, certain "benign" growths are not so harmless and may be precursors to cancer, it also found. Women with these may want to consider surgery or tamoxifen to lower their risk, doctors say.
The study was one of the largest to look at cancer risk according to the types of benign growths women had. It involved 9,087 women biopsied from 1967 to 1991 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. The findings were reported in today's New England Journal of Medicine.
The information could be useful to a large number of women. In a decade of having mammograms, one out of five women will have a biopsy, and most biopsies will reveal benign growths, two specialists wrote in an accompanying editorial.
Overall, such women are 56 percent more likely to develop cancer during the next 15 years, the study found — the same conclusion previous ones reached. But the new work shows how much this risk varies — from very little to more than four times normal — depending on what the growths look like under the microscope.
"Many of these women are not at significantly increased risk for breast cancer, but it's important that they know what their pathology showed" about the type of growth they had, said Dr. Lynn Hartmann, the Mayo doctor who led the work.
More than 1 million American women each year are diagnosed with benign breast conditions — suspicious clumps of cells, cysts, or solid masses called tumors. In the Mayo study, 707 out of the 9,087 women with such conditions developed breast cancer, typically about a decade later.
Age also made a difference. Women diagnosed with benign growths before they were 40 had greater chances of developing breast cancer than those who were older when theirs were found.

If you’re one of the many people who’ve gone to see your primary care physician, orthopedist, or pain specialist who’s been told they don’t see an underlying injury or other tissue damage to explain your chronic pain, you are not alone. So many of us living with chronic pain have been told by medical professionals some version of “there’s nothing wrong with your body; it’s all in your head.”
Modern pain science has some critical insight to offer on the misguided and unkind “all in your head theory.” Research suggests that you may be experiencing primary pain rather than secondary pain.
What is Secondary Pain?
To understand the difference, let’s start with secondary pain. It’s the type of pain caused by injury, tissue damage, or disease that we’ve all traditionally thought of as simply “pain.” And tp be sure, that pain is very real. After all, if you sprain your ankle or live with osteoarthritis, there is damage to your joints, tendons, or muscles that can be found on an x-ray or other scan. There’s inflammation in that area that causes pain and can cause further degeneration or damage. There’s something for a doctor to point to and say, “That’s what is causing your pain.”
“Until really recently, this is how we thought of pain. That pain was something that happened because something was broken in your body, or was getting broken in your body, some kind of tissue damage or structural damage.”
Some examples of chronic secondary pain are:
- Cancer-related – from tumors, cancer that has spread beyond its original location, or even from treatments
- Headaches or orofacial pain – like the pain from a cavity or broken tooth, or TMJ
- Musculoskeletal – persistent inflammation due to an autoimmune disease, osteoarthritis, or multiple sclerosis
- Neuropathic – includes nerve damage in the spine (central) or in your limbs (peripheral), the effects of a stroke, and brain or spinal cord injury
- Postsurgical or post-traumatic – the painful sensations from spinal surgery, whiplash, or an amputation
- Visceral – recurring inflammation of internal organs, vessel constriction or another alteration of blood flow, or gallstones
Often, secondary pain isn’t the disease or malady itself but a symptom of it. Sometimes secondary pain lingers in our bodies long after the cause has been successfully treated: Residual pain long after surgery, nerve damage, or lingering lower back pain from an old injury that’s otherwise healed.
The traditional approach to treating chronic secondary pain is, recommending over-the-counter or prescription medications, a RICE (rest, ice, compression, and elevation) protocol when possible, physical or occupational therapy, and in some cases, manual therapies like massage and acupuncture. For the most part, these solutions provide at least temporary relief of secondary pain. But these treatments don’t always offer long-term relief for those of us for whom chronic pain is a daily struggle.
And what if none of these explanations apply to you?
What is Primary Pain?
First, we’ll say that this is very new science, and not many doctors are trained in correctly diagnosing and treating primary pain. The guidelines for this scientific breakthrough in chronic pain were only introduced in January of 2022. But chronic primary pain is, in fact, very common.
“Primary pain is pain that is driven by the pain signaling network and can exist even in the absence of tissue damage – causing changes in the brain’s pathways and very real pain.”
Primary chronic pain doesn’t have a structural issue or any damage that a doctor can point to as its source. Simply put, it’s pain that comes from misfired signals – triggers that are typically thought of as just emotions, like fear, anxiety, and depression.
Dr. Howard Schubiner, the “unlearn your pain” doctor, points to the examples of being embarrassed and the fear of public speaking to show how the brain’s misfiring often results in physical reactions and pain. Turning red in the face, sweating or feeling stomach cramps before having to stand up in front of a crowd. Sound familiar? We can all relate to these physical manifestations of the emotions of stress and fear. They’re the body’s way of trying to protect us from something it deems harmful (and public speaking can sure feel that way!).
A doctor can diagnose you with primary chronic pain in one of two ways: By ruling it in or by ruling out other issues. When your PCP has conducted clinical tests and sent you for imaging and can’t find any tissue damage or underlying structural cause for your pain, then they can rule out.
In order to rule in primary pain, physicians will look at the following:
- Pain that’s lasted at least 6 months
- If you’re feeling pain or discomfort in multiple areas at once
- Inconsistent levels of pain – really bad one day, not so bad the next – or pain that gets worse with stress
- A history of chronic pain, harmful childhood experiences, and/or treatments or surgeries that didn’t alleviate the pain
- History of treatments, injections, or surgeries that have failed to stop the pain
What Does a Primary Pain Diagnosis Mean for Me?
It can actually be really good news to get a diagnosis of primary pain. No, really, there’s hope!
“The primary pain diagnosis…the best diagnosis in the world to receive because it is really reversible, treatable, and means that your body's in great shape.”
Once you know that you’re dealing with primary pain, you can seek out integrative treatments to address the root causes of your pain. Give up your spot on the pain -> fear -> pain merry-go-round, and opt instead for talk and cognitive behavioral therapy, learning techniques to squash anxiety before it has a chance to cause more pain, and building new habits to improve your sleep, your mood, and–most importantly–your movement.

Besides the common ingredients listed above, some varieties may include cheese, spicy cooked squid , yakiniku , kamaboko , lunch meat , sausage , bacon or spicy tuna.
The nori may be brushed with sesame oil or sprinkled with sesame seeds. In a variation, sliced pieces of makizushi may be lightly fried with egg coating.
A typical hosomaki has a diameter of about 2. Traditionally, kappamaki is consumed to clear the palate between eating raw fish and other kinds of food, so that the flavors of the fish are distinct from the tastes of other foods.
Fatty tuna is often used in this style. For optimal taste and texture, temaki must be eaten quickly after being made because the nori cone soon absorbs moisture from the filling and loses its crispness, making it somewhat difficult to bite through.
For this reason, the nori in pre-made or take-out temaki is sealed in plastic film which is removed immediately before eating.
Skinned and gutted fish are stuffed with salt, placed in a wooden barrel, doused with salt again, then weighed down with a heavy tsukemonoishi pickling stone.
As days pass, water seeps out and is removed. After six months, this sushi can be eaten, remaining edible for another six months or more. The most famous variety of narezushi are the ones offered as a specialty dish of Shiga Prefecture ,  particularly the funa-zushi made from fish of the crucian carp genus , the authentic version of which calls for the use of nigorobuna , a particular locally differentiated variety of wild goldfish endemic to Lake Biwa.
It is usually served with a bit of wasabi ; neta are typically fish such as salmon, tuna or other seafood. Certain toppings are typically bound to the rice with a thin strip of nori , most commonly octopus tako , freshwater eel unagi , sea eel anago , squid ika , and sweet egg tamago.
One order of a given type of fish typically results in two pieces, while a sushi set sampler dish may contain only one piece of each topping. Gunkan-maki was invented at the Ginza Kyubey restaurant in ; its invention significantly expanded the repertoire of soft toppings used in sushi.
A block-shaped piece is formed using a wooden mold, called an oshibako. The chef lines the bottom of the oshibako with the toppings, covers them with sushi rice, and then presses the lid of the mold down to create a compact, rectilinear block.
The block is removed from the mold and then cut into bite-sized pieces. The increasing popularity of sushi around the world has resulted in variations typically found in the Western world , but rarely in Japan.
A notable exception to this is the use of salmon, which was introduced by a Norwegian businessman tasked with helping the Norwegian salmon industry in the s.
A wide variety of popular rolls norimaki and uramaki has evolved since. Norway roll is another variant of uramakizushi filled with tamago omelette , imitation crab and cucumber, rolled with shiso leaf and nori , topped with slices of Norwegian salmon , garnished with lemon and mayonnaise.
Uramaki differs from other makimono because the rice is on the outside and the nori inside. The filling is in the center surrounded by nori , then a layer of rice, and optionally an outer coating of some other ingredients such as roe or toasted sesame seeds.
It can be made with different fillings, such as tuna, crab meat, avocado, mayonnaise, cucumber or carrots. Examples of variations include the rainbow roll an inside-out topped with thinly sliced maguro, hamachi, ebi, sake and avocado and the caterpillar roll an inside-out topped with thinly sliced avocado.
Also commonly found is the "rock and roll" an inside-out roll with barbecued freshwater eel and avocado with toasted sesame seeds on the outside.
In Japan, uramaki is an uncommon type of makimono ; because sushi is traditionally eaten by hand in Japan, the outer layer of rice can be quite difficult to handle with fingers.
Uncommon for the traditional recipe, this is the most common type of ingredient used in preparation of sushi in the country.
Temaki, a nori cone with sushi rice and salmon cubes also contain a large amount of cream-cheese, being extremely popular among the restaurants.
Futomaki is a more popular variation of sushi within the United States, and comes in variations that take their names from their places of origin.
Other rolls may include a variety of ingredients, including chopped scallops , spicy tuna , beef or chicken teriyaki roll, okra , and assorted vegetables such as cucumber and avocado, and the tempura roll, where shrimp tempura is inside the roll or the entire roll is battered and fried tempura-style.
In the Southern United States, many sushi restaurants prepare rolls using crawfish. Sometimes, rolls are made with brown rice or black rice , which appear in Japanese cuisine as well.
Per Food and Drug Administration regulations, raw fish served in the United States must be frozen prior to serving in order to kill parasites.
Since rolls are often made to-order it is not unusual for the customer to specify the exact ingredients desired e. Though the menu names of dishes often vary by restaurant, some examples include:.
It has to be cooled to room temperature before being used for a filling in a sushi or else it will get too sticky while being seasoned. Traditionally, it is mixed with a hangiri a round, flat-bottom wooden tub or barrel and a shamoji a wooden paddle.
Sushi rice is prepared with short-grain Japanese rice, which has a consistency that differs from long-grain strains such as those from India , Sri Lanka , Bangladesh , Thailand , and Vietnam.
The essential quality is its stickiness or glutinousness, although the type of rice used for sushi is different from glutinous rice.
Freshly harvested rice shinmai typically contains too much water, and requires extra time to drain the rice cooker after washing.
In some fusion cuisine restaurants, short-grain brown rice and wild rice are also used. There are regional variations in sushi rice and individual chefs have their individual methods.
Nori is a type of algae , traditionally cultivated in the harbors of Japan. Originally, algae was scraped from dock pilings, rolled out into thin, edible sheets, and dried in the sun, in a process similar to making rice paper.
The size of a nori sheet influences the size of makimono. A full-size sheet produces futomaki , and a half produces hosomaki and temaki.
To produce gunkan and some other makimono , an appropriately-sized piece of nori is cut from a whole sheet. Nori by itself is an edible snack and is available with salt or flavored with teriyaki sauce.
The flavored variety, however, tends to be of lesser quality and is not suitable for sushi. When making fukusazushi , a paper-thin omelette may replace a sheet of nori as the wrapping.
Try smoked salmon instead of imitation crabmeat. Serve with teriyaki sauce and wasabi. Add rice, and stir. Reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 20 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the rice vinegar, sugar ,and salt. Blend the mixture into the rice. Preheat oven to degrees F degrees C. On a medium baking sheet, heat nori in the preheated oven 1 to 2 minutes, until warm.
Center one sheet nori on a bamboo sushi mat. Wet your hands. Using your hands, spread a thin layer of rice on the sheet of nori, and press into a thin layer.
Lift the end of the mat, and gently roll it over the ingredients, pressing gently. Roll it forward to make a complete roll. Repeat with remaining ingredients.
If you do not have a bamboo sushi mat, the easiest way to roll the sushi is to use a clean dish towel. All Rights Reserved. Sushi Roll. Rating: 4.

After attending her local Chamber of Commerce meetings and presenting, or exhibiting, at various trade shows, small business owner Becky Beach was shocked to learn that the $1,000+ she spent on business attire to look extra stylish and professional was not a deductible business expense. “I was thinking I could deduct the clothing expenses, which is why I paid so much for my new wardrobe,” she says.
She’s not the only one who has had a nasty surprise on their tax return. Often, small business owners get some small consolation from the money they spend on business purposes and niceties because they believe it will be tax-deductible at the end of the tax year. And, just like Beach, they are often disappointed.
Sometimes, it’s because of the nature of the expense—many investments self-employed people make are considered capital expenses and are just not tax-deductible—but, other times, it’s because of confusion over the new Tax Cuts and Jobs Act. These new tax laws went into effect for the 2018 tax season and changed a myriad of long-standing rules that applied to individual income tax and business tax.
We talked to some accountants to get the scoop on the business expenses that they routinely find their clients believe might be tax-deductible—but aren’t. While they still might be smart expenses to invest in your business, it’s good to know what the IRS will say about them come tax time.
1. Extravagant gifts
Your customers literally pay your bills, when you think about it, so it’s only natural to want to say thank you with a tangible object of your appreciation—whether it’s at the holidays, on their anniversary of doing business with your company, or after a particularly large or complex project. However, you’ll want to check the price tag on the item you are purchasing, as $25 is all that you are allowed per customer. So, if you want to be able to deduct the whole amount, you should probably choose a smaller bouquet of flowers (or just spring for it if they’re worth it, but don’t expect to be compensated).
2. Volunteer time
Say you’re a graphic artist who bills out your time at a healthy hourly rate, and you do 10 hours of pro bono work, designing a website for a cause that’s dear to your heart. Unfortunately, you can’t write off the fair market value of your volunteer time. Many small business owners tend to think that volunteer time can be deducted the same way charitable contributions can. This is unfortunately not the case.
What you can deduct, however, is your gas and any other travel expenses, such as parking or tolls, if you do your work or attend meetings onsite. Note that the standard mileage rate for volunteer work is different than for business use—at .14 per mile for charitable organizations, versus .58 per mile for business use. You also can deduct expenses if you travel out of town for a board meeting, for example.
3. Daily commute expenses
Say you work in a coworking office space or have a small office. The expenses associated with commuting each day are non-deductible, including your parking. Despite the fact that the travel is being done for work, the IRS still considers it personal use. However, if you drive to a client site or a meeting, those expenses can all be included on your taxes at the .58 per mile driven, as noted above. Another method is to use the “actual expense” associated with using your personal vehicle.
Your car itself—whether a lease or purchase payment—is also not tax-deductible. Another way small business owners might try to skirt this and deduct their car payment is “by slapping a logo on it,” says tax accountant Thomas Williams, but that also would not be admissible.
4. Clothing costs
We already covered the fact that those fancy clothes aren’t deductible—well, unfortunately, neither is cleaning them, says David Danic, director of tax at Summit CPA Group, who finds that many clients want to deduct their dry cleaning costs. “However, if you’re traveling for business and need to get the laundry dry-cleaned while away, that is deductible.”
One exception to note is if you are required to wear a uniform for work and have to buy the pieces yourself, you may then deduct that expense.
5. Meals for employees
Love to show your appreciation to your hard-working team by surprising them with pizza? Or, maybe you just like to have specialty brew available to save them a trip to the coffee place? Unfortunately, you can now only deduct 50% of the cost of meals or snacks you buy for your team. Many small business owners learn that the hard way. “We used to have a working lunch every other Friday out of the company’s pocket; I thought our bills were 100% deductible since it was a business expense, so I was surprised when my accountant told me I could only deduct half,” says Harsha Reddy, co-founder and editor-in-chief of SmallBizGenius.
6. Business travel expenses for spouses
If you’re headed to a convention or other meeting that involves business travel, you might want to bring your spouse or family along. Unfortunately, even if the primary purpose of the travel is business-related, you can’t expense the airfare and associated expenses for your significant others.
However, you can deduct your own airfare and lodging, and any registration fees that you incur to attend a trade show are deductible. But, if you are exhibiting, be aware that purchases for samples or gifts are not, says Angleton.
You can no longer deduct business entertainment expenses, such as tickets to a sporting event. “I see a lot of confusion among my clients regarding the new tax laws surrounding business entertainment expenses,” says Evan Reeves Alonzo, a CPA and attorney.
This stems directly from the recent changes wrought by the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act: Prior to 2018, taxpayers were allowed a 50% deduction for both business meals and entertainment expenses incurred. Today, while business meals are still 50% deductible, business entertainment expenses are no longer deductible at all. “If the event includes both a meal and entertainment, the deductible meals portion must be broken out from the total cost of the event,” says Alonzo.
8. Social membership dues
Even if you have great success landing new clients while playing a round of golf or “sweatworking” through a spin class, the IRS disallows any expenses related to membership at social clubs, such as a country club or a fitness club. You may deduct dues for professional business memberships, though, such as the Chamber of Commerce or an industry trade association.
9. All marketing costs
And, finally, you might assume that all your marketing costs are deductible, and ads purchased online, or in print, are indeed deductible, assures Danic. Where it gets more complicated is in website development. He explains that external website costs are categorized and treated in two separate ways, which carry their own specific tax treatments:
- Purchasing a website design in any pre-packaged manner qualifies as “purchased software,” and is amortized over three years.
- Hiring consultants under a contractor relationship would lead to an ordinary business deduction.
Be careful what you deduct
Business expenses like start-up cost and home offices have rules that are easy to understand, while other costs like life insurance and credit card payments get more complicated. The bottom line about business deductions? It’s wise to consult with a tax professional or another professional tax preparer before filling out your Schedule C to ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to claim a business tax deduction that’s actually non-deductible under the law.

In the novel that won her the Booker Prize and established her international reputation, Anita Brookner finds a new vocabulary for framing the eternal question “Why love?” It tells the story of Edith Hope, who writes romance novels under a psudonym. When her life begins to resemble the plots of her own novels, however, Edith flees to Switzerland, where the quiet luxury of the Hotel du Lac promises to resore her to her senses.But instead of peace and rest, Edith finds herself sequestered at the hotel with an assortment of love’s casualties and exiles. She also attracts the attention of a worldly man determined to release her unused capacity for mischief and pleasure. Beautifully observed, witheringly funny, Hotel du Lac is Brookner at her most stylish and potently subversive.
Edith Hope (a.k.a. romance author Veronica Wilde) has been banished by her friends to a stately hotel in Switzerland. During her stay she befriends some of the other guests, each of whom has his or her own tale. Edith struggles to come to terms with her career and love–the lack, the benefits, and the meaning thereof.

Cape Town - The union representing firefighters has called on the City of Cape Town to speedily resolve and enter into a new fire service agreement for the firefighters, alleging that senior fire managers have claimed huge standby allowances.
SA Municipal Workers’ Union (Samwu) representatives alleged that the City decided to derail the compulsory arbitration process held between firefighters, their union representatives, the City, and facilitated by the Commission for Conciliation, Mediation and Arbitration (CCMA) on Tuesday.
Samwu's regional secretary, Bridgette Nkomana, said unexpectedly the City representatives requested the recusal of the CCMA commissioner from the arbitration process.
“This after all parties agreed to the appointment of the very same commissioner. It is now abundantly clear to Samwu that the City has adopted the Stalingrad strategy of delaying the process, which will have huge financial implications for ratepayers,” Nkomana said.
She said firefighters affiliated to Samwu had nearly lost their jobs when they went on strike in October 2019.
She said their demand was for a new collective agreement, and to stop senior fire managers, earning between R800 000 and R1 200 000 per annum, from claiming standby allowances of between R16 000 and R23 000 per month.
Firefighters had also gone on strike against an out-dated collective agreement of 2007, she said.
“This out-dated agreement is not in line with the Basic Conditions of Employment Act, and the Labour Relations Act,” Nkomana said.
She said senior managers in the fire department were fighting tooth-and-nail to keep the old agreement dating back to the apartheid era in place.
A firefighter, who did not want to be named for fear of victimisation, said all they were asking for was to be paid for their hours at work, and nothing more.
City spokesperson Luthando Tyhalibongo said it was unfortunate that Samwu had chosen to raise the matter in the media as they were well aware that it was the subject of a dispute in arbitration proceedings under the auspices of the South African Local Government Bargaining Council, where all parties’ positions would be considered.

why would a speedometer and odometer not work on a suzuki motorcycle?
no it will work just fine. my 95 bird's odometer doesnt work but my cruise and trans work just great!!
The odometer is broken and needs replaced.
It would be wrong to say but ur car is a piece of Sh@t that doesnt work
The gears in the speedometer are stripped. If the odometer is working then you have input.
If the speedometer and odometer are both not working, I would blame the speed sensor. If only the speedometer does not work and the odometer does work, the cluster is bad.
The odometer has failed.
If the speedometer and odometer doesn't work I would suspect the VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is faulty.If the speedometer doesn't work but the odometer does, I would suspect the gauge cluster is at fault.
what can cause my speed odometer to stop working, it would work awhile, than stop, now not at all
If the speedometer works but the odometer does not, the odometer has failed.
The odometer on a 96 Ford Explorer is tied into the speedometer. If the speedometer is working then there is a gear problem inside of the speedometer causing the odometer to not work.
you do it is down up sometimes it doesnt work
The lights on the odometer on a 1999 Chevy Blazer might not work because of a burned out fuse. They might also not work if the lights are burned out.
My speedometer works and the odometer does not because there is a plastic gear in the odometer that is broken.
Bad speed sensor is a likely culprit
sometimes it doesn't work. Mine didn't but my friend's did. Mine doesnt either. I would REALLY like to know from people out there what to do
because sometimes it just doesnt work
there are no light in odometer to see milege and clock
no, it doesnt always work. in fact, apple can sometimes rarely find out and youll get in trouble
I've had the Gear on the tail shaft come loose where the cable goes into the transmission.
If the speedometer doesn't work either, then the cable broke or came loose. Otherwise, the gears in the odometer broke.
my odometer on 2002 volvo s-80 does not work

it doesnt work, it breaks it doesnt work, it breaks it doesnt work, it breaks

Appears in exhibition catalog as entry no. [not numbered]
There are several very excellent paintings in water-colors to be seen, and also miniatures on ivory, among Mr. Coale's collection, and elsewhere, which deserve attention. A small picture of the unhappy "Beatrice" is to be seen on one of the pillars. It is remarkably good, and is, we believe from a hurried glance, painted on ivory. It is a relief to find even an approximate representation of this celebrated face. The life-size chromo now so frequently displayed in picture stores is simply abominable. Utter despair, that which is so beyond hope, is wrought in the eyes and lineaments of a lovely face, is the grand characteristic of the original. The chromo represents Beatrice as a rosy and debonnair damsel, with the live crimson through the native white soft shooting over the face, diffusing bloom% It is pretty, but so horridly mangles that of which it purports to be a fac-simile as to render it something worse than worthless. The same might be said of certain chromos of the "mater dolorosa" now to be seen almost everywhere. [P. 80.]

Rolls-Royce Plc (RR) is a UK-based engineering company focused on power and propulsion systems. RR segments include Civil Aerospace, Defence Aerospace and Power Systems. RR has been struggling this year due to the collapse in the number of hours flown by its wide-body engines. This is the source of more than 50% of their Civil Aerospace segment revenue. This metric fell -75% in Q2 and -50% in H1. RR burnt roughly -£3b in H1 and will have burnt roughly -£4b in full year 2020. Today, RR tightened (-40bp from +18 to -22 close) on optimism about potential investments from 2 sovereign wealth funds. Singapore’s GIC is considering an investment in RR and Kuwait Investment Office would also contribute about £250M, Sky News reported today. RR said in an update earlier this month that it aims to raise £2.5B in total. RR said it continues to review all funding options. RR has a market value of roughly £3B. RR had been downgraded to 'BB-/B' from 'BB/B' by S&P earlier this month. The agency also placed RR on CreditWatch with negative implications. To explain that move, S&P had explained that RR free cash flow generation and therefore deleveraging prospects for the next 12 months have fallen materially below their previous assumptions. In a similar move today, Moody’s downgraded RR to Ba3 from Ba2, and the outlook remains negative.

*can't stop blushing Thanks.
Spanishsh is a neat song. I like your Tropical House Attempt song a lot too. You've got a great sound. I'm a big fan!
Yw! Ya, I agree. One of the only tracks I used bongos in was called Spanishsh and it wasn't even a real track. It was more of a joke track.
I had a feeling you were going to like this one Peaches! The bongos are fun I've never tried using them in any songs before but they kind of worked here. Thanks again ;)
Those bongos though... YAS. The music box melody is so cute! I mean, uh, cool. This song kinda sounds like a game soundtrack.

Scientists have discovered the most distant object known in solar system, so remote and unusual that they chose the nickname “Farout” for the slow-moving, icy, pinkish dwarf planet .
It is about 120 to 130 times further from the sun than Earth.
Astronomer Scott Sheppard of the Carnegie Institution for Science in Washington said on Tuesday that the dwarf planet, officially designated as 2018 VG18, had been estimated to have a diameter of 310 to 375 miles (500 to 600 km).
Sheppard said there are roughly 50 dwarf planets in the solar system and the bigger ones are Pluto, with a diameter of about 1,470 miles (2,370 km), and Eris, with a diameter of about 1,445 miles (2,325 km).
He added that “when I saw the object for the first time, it was moving so slowly, it was the slowest thing I’ve ever seen.
“So, I kind of muttered to myself, ‘Far out,” kind of like, ‘That’s cool.’ But it’s also a very-far-out object in distance, so that’s why I went with calling it ‘Farout.”
“We don’t know too much about it, we only detected it last month. From its brightness, we can determine its size. We know its colour.
“It has a pinkish, reddish hue to it. If you put ice out there and you irradiate them from the solar radiation over time, the ice turn kind of reddish, pinkish colour. So, we think its surface is probably ice-covered.”
Sheppard and other scientists spotted Farout during their search for extremely distant solar system objects, including a potential Planet X that he said could be five to 10 times the size of Earth.
In 2014, researchers proposed the existence of a ninth major planet at the outer reaches of the solar system.
They said Farout is moving so slowly that it might need more than 1,000 years for a single orbit of the sun.
The second-most-distant observed Solar System object is Eris.
It orbits at about 96 times the distance of the Sun to the Earth. Pluto orbits at about 34 times the distance of Earth from the Sun.

Atlanta United suffered from a mostly toothless attack, flawed decision making and, at times, lack of discipline tonight against Sporting Kansas City. But it took a very late goal by former SKC veteran Jacob Peterson in the first of four minutes of stoppage time to help the Five Stripes pull level at 1-1 with Sporting and deny them all three points at home. In the end, it may not have been a particularly well-earned result, but it will go down as a result nonetheless as Atlanta extend their unbeaten streak to six matches (4-0-2) and have now taken seven out of a possible nine points in their last three away from home.
Atlanta couldn’t really do a ton with the trademark KC defense early on as they struggled to maintain possession and push the attack forward, but they appeared to adjust a little as the match went on by employing a high press up the field in an attempt to create chances near the net. Sporting grabbed an early chance in the 4th minute as Daniel Salloi found himself alone in the box after an Atlanta turnover, but his decision to pass instead of shoot saw the chance go away. A second chance in the 8th minute, off a free kick, was headed by a Sporting player but out of play as Atlanta avoided going down 1-0 once more.
Atlanta showed some signs of life starting with their first legitimate opportunity in the 26th. Anton Walkes crossed it in the area to Tito Villalba, but the Argentinian could manage just a weak flicked on header off target and the attack fizzled out. In the 28th minute, Miguel Almiron won a free kick just in from of the box, but shot it right into the wall as the match remained scoreless. SKC looked to draw first blood again in the 33rd as Latif Blessing played one from out wide toward the middle to a running Roger Espinoza, but the resulting shot went right to Guzan. In the 36th, Julian Gressel nearly put Atlanta on the board with a speculative attempt from distance that just missed wide of the net.
Atlanta saw the first best chance out of the half courtesy of Jeff Larentowicz, but his free kick was deflected by Tim Melia in the 49th as the match remained goalless. But it was Sporting on the board first thanks to a (controversial) penalty given in the 58th minute, which Benny Feilhaber converted against his U.S. national teammate to make it a 1-0 contest. That slowed Atlanta’s roll until a flurry of empty chances in the 75th minute after Chris McCann and Jacob Peterson entered the match - meanwhile, Sporting had a couple of opportunities of their own to ice the game away and deny Atlanta a chance to salvage a point.
Fortunately for Atlanta, that didn’t happen. And it was the former Sporting Kansas City man Peterson - who else! - who got Atlanta back on terms in the early stages of stoppage time.
That was how the match would end as Atlanta pulled level with the New York Red Bulls in points with 35 (RBNY hold the tiebreaker with 11 wins to Atlanta’s 10). For Atlanta, tonight is their final match before another lengthy 17-day break due to matches previously set to be played in Mercedes-Benz Stadium that were pushed back thanks to construction issues. They don’t play again until August 23 at wooden spoon candidate DC United, a team that’s already beaten them twice this season.

It’s no secret that rip currents are the one ocean hazard that most concerns lifeguards and ocean safety experts.
Predicting them has always been a bit of a guessing game. The models have gotten better over the years, but no one thought they were as good as they needed to be.
The may be changing. And changing because of modeling work that was done on the Outer Banks, often applying the practical knowledge of local lifeguards.
The model, which was developed along the Kill Devil Hills beach, will give probabilities of rip currents forming from 0-100%.
It’s taken a while to create a model that will consistently predict rip current potential. The first work on the project was done by Dr. Greg Dusek of NOAA in cooperation with Kill Devil Hills Ocean Rescue Supervisor Dave Elder in 2015.
The new modeling is a cooperative effort between NOAA’s National Ocean Service and National Weather Service (NWS). To create the risk prediction, waves and water level information is recorded by the NWS Near Shore Prediction System. The system was recently upgraded.
The modeling will predict rip current risk up to six days into the future.
What is a Rip Current
A rip current is a powerful, localized current of water that moves directly away from the shore. Although often depicted as a straight current that flares out as it loses power, research has shown there are a number of different configurations of rip currents.
It is important to note that the danger in rip currents is the panic that swimmers often experience. The first reaction when caught in a rip current is to try to swim against it. With the water moving out to sea up to five miles per hour, that is not possible. Swimmers who try that exhaust themselves.
It is possible to swim parallel to shore until outside the current and then swim to shore.
With the new system in place, Outer Banks beaches should be safer than ever.
The sun and surf always seem to call to people and and a week or two in a Brindley Beach Home is the perfect antidote for a hectic life.

A Message from the Mayor-President (Q3 2022)
I am pleased to announce our City-Parish is the recipient of a $59 million INFRA (Infrastructure for Rebuilding America) grant that will provide significant support for two important MOVEBR projects and one BREC project. The North Baton Rouge Mobility Projects grant will support the Airline Highway North Expansion, Florida Boulevard Corridor Enhancement, and the Scotlandville Parkway Mobility Network.
This grant will make significant pedestrian improvements on two key corridors, add capacity to Airline Highway and help build our Bus Rapid Transit project. Our successful pursuit of federal funds means we can make even more improvements with our MOVEBR projects.
The success of our grant application was due in part to our MOVEBR planning process focused on providing equitable transportation for the people of East Baton Rouge Parish. The grant also supports projects called for by our Pedestrian and Bicycle Master Plan, which involved participation by over 70 community organizations, and the BREC parkway strategic plan which used surveys and meetings to reach nearly 1,000 residents.
Thanks to passage of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, we have received $59,619,429 that will be used for:
- The Airline Highway North Expansion to improve a five-mile segment of U.S. Route 190 by adding a lane in each direction, improving turn lanes, and adding connections to local transit, bike, and pedestrian networks.
- The Florida Boulevard component to make pedestrian and bus improvements and establish BRT infrastructure along approximately six miles of Business U.S. Route 90.
- The Scotlandville Parkway Mobility Network to convert an existing trail into a new, linear, multimodal pathway.

Richland boy, 2, drowns in family swimming pool over weekend
06/01/2014 4:49 PM
03/14/2015 7:01 AM
A 2-year-old Richland County boy drowned over the weekend in a home swimming pool, county coroner Gary Watts reported Sunday.
“At this time, everything points to a tragic accident,” Watts said.
Watts identified the boy as Jeremy S. Myers Jr. of 102 Windsor Crest Road, Columbia.
“It appears that the victim went outside with his 3-year-old sister after the sister was able to move a plastic piece of children’s furniture to the door, climb up on the furniture and unlock the door,” Watts said.
Watts said the parents were asleep at the time, and the children had gotten up early and were able to slip outside through what was supposed to be a secured passageway.
