Gusto Payroll Review 2020
Gusto (formerly ZenPayroll) offers three payroll plans and an easy-to-use interface. While Gusto’s add-on benefits plans are available in only select states, its payroll service beats out some of the biggest names in the business. It’s easily one of the best payroll services for small businesses of all types.
You know the up-and-comers who appear out of left field, upending the status quo and toppling tried-and-true winners? The totally unpredictable wins, like the US hockey team beating the USSR in 1980, Tom Brady taking the Patriots to the Super Bowl in 2001, or then-unknown Abraham Lincoln winning the presidency in 1860?
In the world of payroll software, that totally unpredictable winner is Gusto.
Gusto (previously known as ZenPayroll) has been around only since 2011, but its easy-to-use online payroll software rivals QuickBooks’—which is pretty amazing, especially considering that QuickBooks has had decades to reach the top. In fact, we’ve been so consistently impressed with Gusto’s ease of use and cost effectiveness that we awarded it “best overall” in our review of the best payroll software for small businesses.
Like any dark-horse candidate, Gusto’s payroll services have their share of flaws. But with unlimited payroll runs, automatic payroll tax filing, and flexible payroll schedules, Gusto is a great fit for small businesses in every industry. Keep reading our Gusto payroll review to see if your business is one of them.
|Plan name||Starting base price||Additional price per employee||Features||Learn more|
Automated tax filing, employee self-service, workers compensation
Core + time tracking, PTO policies, employee directory, onboarding
Complete + comprehensive HR support
Gusto’s automation takes payroll off your plate
Gusto functions on a simple premise: when your employees are happy, your business is better equipped for growth. And one of the best ways to help employees stay jazzed about their jobs is to pay them the correct amount—on time, in the method they prefer, and with the right amount deducted so they don’t have to scramble to make income tax payments at the end of the year.
How does Gusto make sure your employees are satisfied with your business’s pay processes? By automating as many payroll tasks as possible to drastically reduce the chance of human error:
- Automatic state, local, and federal payroll tax filing
- Automatic W-2 and 1099 form filing
- Automatic new hire reporting
- Automatic payroll runs
- Automatic child support garnishments (not available in South Carolina)
Worried you won’t remember to run payroll on time? Set up automatic payroll processing so your employees get punctual pay without you lifting a finger. Nervous about distributing child support wage garnishments to the right parties? Gusto makes sure it happens. Not sure how to juggle hourly and salaried employees working on different pay schedules? Customize payroll runs to your team’s needs.
Of course, Gusto payroll services aim to make you happy too. With a clear interface, affordable pricing, and a full spectrum of tax filing assistance, Gusto ensures you have more time for your business while worrying less about potential payroll (and payroll tax) mistakes.
Xero is one of our favorite accounting software providers—it’s great for invoicing, and its plans start at a smooth $9 a month. Xero Payroll is a feature in a handful of countries, like New Zealand and Australia, but if you live and work in the US, Xero partners with Gusto to bring you a well-rounded accounting and payroll experience.
Unfortunately, you don’t save money on either service if you add Gusto to your Xero plan. But you will get a big convenience boost. If you sign up for Gusto through Xero, you can access both accounts through your Xero login. And Gusto payroll syncs perfectly with the “Bill” feature on Xero so you can easily balance accounts and track employee pay.
Gusto payroll pros and cons
- Automatic payroll taxes form filing, including W-2, 1099, 940, and 941 tax forms
- Unlimited payroll runs, including off-cycle runs
- Employee benefit add-ons, including 401(k) options and commuter benefits
- Health benefits that are limited to 26 states and Washington, DC
- PTO integration available only with more expensive plans
Gusto does more than offer affordable plans and smooth automation. Here are a few of Gusto’s other features that make it well worth your while.
Tax form filing
Gusto automatically files way more tax forms on your behalf than a lot of other providers. The company covers the basics, like W-2 forms and 1099 forms (a lot of payroll companies charge extra for 1099 form filing, QuickBooks Self Service included). But they also automatically file crucial but complicated tax forms like these:
- Form 940, which reports on all payments relating to the Federal Unemployment Tax Act
- Form 941, which reports on tax withheld and paid by the employer for Medicare and Social Security taxes
- Form 8974, which businesses must file if they want to qualify for the Federal Research & Development Tax Credit
- Tax forms unique to your state
Unlimited payroll runs
Most—though not all—payroll software solutions let you make unlimited payroll runs, which means you can process payroll as frequently as you need to instead of being limited to just four runs a month. But Gusto also lets you run unlimited off-cycle or bonus payrolls. Basically, that means if an employee earns a bonus and you want to pay it out (with the right deductions) before the next scheduled payroll, you can, with no financial penalties.
If you want to minimize premium-deduction hassle to make employee benefits administration easier, you can work with Gusto’s insurance brokers to find medical, vision, and dental plans that integrate with Gusto’s software. Gusto also has your back if you want to offer benefits that make your company more competitive, including 401(k) options, commuter benefits, life insurance, and college savings plans.
Unfortunately, Gusto’s benefits options aren’t available in every state. That’s an issue we’ll talk about next, along with a few other key drawbacks. But bear in mind that Gusto’s other benefits add-ons are more widely available than its health insurance benefits. You can set up 529 College Savings plans through Gusto’s partners in every state. You can also get workers comp plans in states that require businesses to have private insurance policies (hint: that’s most states).
Gusto’s benefits add-ons aren’t available everywhere, so if you want health benefits bundled with payroll, you could be out of luck.
Your small business can find medical, dental, vision, life, and disability insurance through Gusto if you live in one of these areas:
Arizona, California, Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia, DC, Washington, Wisconsin
Do you have employees in multiple states? As long as the state you’re based in has Gusto coverage options, you should be able to offer health insurance options for all of your employees, though you’ll need to check with a Gusto representative for specific details and restrictions.
Another drawback? On the Core plan, paid time off won’t automatically sync with your payroll. You can’t integrate your PTO policies with your payroll unless you sign up for the Complete plan.
Finally, Gusto doesn’t advertise a 100% tax-filing guarantee policy. With a tax-filing guarantee, a payroll company promises that they’ll deal with any tax entity (like the IRS) that comes after your business for tax errors, as long as the tax errors were the software company’s fault. Weirdly, Gusto does have a policy—you can find it in their terms of service agreement—but they don’t advertise it up front, which feels a little fishy.
No matter which payroll software provider you choose, remember that you’ll pay both the monthly base cost and a monthly fee for each employee on your payroll. Before you choose a plan, multiply the cost per employee by the number of employees you have, and then add that number to the monthly base fee to get a better look at how much you’ll spend on payroll each month:
Core base cost + 1 employee = $45/mo.
Complete base cost + 1 employee = $51/mo.
Concierge base cost + 1 employee = $161/mo.
We already talked about how Gusto automates payroll so you can focus on your business (and your employees’ happiness). But along with payroll processing, you get these features with Gusto too:
- Support for multiple pay schedules
- Employee reimbursement
- Easy-to-understand user interface
- Employee self-service portal
- PTO (paid time off) policy creation
- Gusto payroll app (iOS and Android, employee self-service only)
- Compliance assistance, including help with nondiscrimination testing, COBRA, and benefits-related regulations
- Easy integration with accounting software like QuickBooks, Xero, and FreshBooks
- Easy integration with time-tracking software like TSheets, Homebase, and eBillity Time Tracker
The Core plan charges you $6 per month per employee, which is a little steeper than QuickBooks or Payroll by Wave—both charge $4 per employee. Still, $6 isn’t bad for all the employee perks Gusto includes with its cheapest plan, including easy employee reimbursement and off-cycle payroll runs.
Gusto’s Core plan works perfectly for most small businesses. But if your worker base is growing and you need more robust HR assistance, you should probably upgrade to the Complete plan—which, unfortunately, is quite a bit more expensive.
Even though the Complete plan’s base price is $39 (the same as the Core plan’s), the fee per employee doubles to $12 per person. For that extra money, you get features like employee onboarding, time tracking (though without the features of more intensive software specifically for time tracking), and an employee directory. You can send offer letters, grant more administration privileges to managers, create employee surveys, and automatically sync PTO requests and holiday pay to payroll.
If we’re being frank, those benefits aren’t quite enough to compensate for the $12-per-employee fee. But if you have fewer than 100 employees, need some extra HR help, and don’t want to either create an HR department or outsource human resources entirely, Gusto’s software can help you strike a balance while you continue planning for growth.
Heads-up: Tax credits
Own a restaurant or coffee shop? Gusto’s software can adjust your employees’ wages to account for tips so your business meets the FLSA tip credit minimum wage requirement. Gusto will also send you an end-of-year report if you qualify for the FICA tip credit, a restaurant-specific tax incentive.
And if your business qualifies for the Federal R&D tax credit, which benefits small and midsize businesses that invest in research and development (R&D), Gusto has your back when you file a claim for the credit.
Gusto’s Concierge plan is the only one we don’t recommend to most small businesses: it’s much better suited to midsize to large companies that need fully developed HR support and have the budget to back it up. (At $149 a month and $12 per employee, the Concierge plan definitely doesn’t come cheap.)
Still, if you’re not quite large enough to warrant a full-blown human resources department but want more than the Complete plan can offer, Gusto Concierge can help you out with these key tasks:
- Thorough HR compliance assistance
- Compliance updates
- Employee handbooks
- Dedicated Gusto support team
Just like the Complete plan, the Concierge plan doesn’t necessarily pack a wallop, especially not at that price. But if you worry a lot about compliance and could benefit from a dedicated team of experts, plus a direct line to customer service, Concierge might do it for you.
Do you work with 1099 contractors rather than W-2 employees? With Gusto’s Contractor plan, you don’t have to pay a monthly base fee: you’ll pay $6 per contractor paid per month. That’s it.
- Track time and expenses
- Create custom invoices
- Accept online payments
Do I have to wait until the end of the year to switch payroll providers?
Nope! You can switch to or from a payroll provider like Gusto any time. You can usually switch health benefit providers without coverage gaps too, though you’ll want to check with Gusto if you plan to switch from your current health care provider to one brokered through Gusto.
Can accountants use Gusto?
Gusto was created primarily for small-business owners, but it also offers special plans for accountants who manage small businesses’ finances. Accountants can choose from four Gusto plans that vary based on how many clients they have. Every Gusto accounting plan comes with a month-long free trial and a dedicated advisor.
If you aren’t an accountant but are looking for one, Gusto offers a list of accountants and bookkeepers who partner with Gusto and offer their services to small businesses specifically.
Is Gusto full service or self service?
All of Gusto’s payroll plans are full-service plans, which means Gusto handles tax-related payroll services for you. With self-service plans, you have to file income taxes and year-end tax forms on your own. You also have to do a lot more hands-on work to make paycheck deductions and distribute them to the right parties (for instance, to an employee’s health care company or child support recipient).
How does Gusto compare to QuickBooks Payroll?
Honestly? For most businesses, Gusto is both more affordable and more comprehensive than QuickBooks Payroll.
QuickBooks’ cheapest payroll plan, Core, includes automatic payroll tax filing, just like Gusto. However, it starts at $45 a month—more expensive than Gusto—and it lacks some of Gusto’s key features. Specifically, even with its $39 plan, Gusto lets you create PTO policies and add workers compensation administration. It also gives your employees access to their own profiles so they can check paystubs and tax withholdings.
Gusto also integrates fairly seamlessly with both QuickBooks Online and QuickBooks Desktop. Unless your brand loyalty to QuickBooks and Intuit runs deep, you’ll get more bang for your buck if you simply integrate Gusto with QuickBooks.
Gusto’s affordability and simplicity make it an excellent choice for small businesses—especially its cost-effective Core plan, which has enough features to turn payroll from a gale to a breeze. If you have fewer than 100 employees, love a low-grade learning curve, and are more than ready to put tax form filing on someone else’s shoulders, a one-month free trial from Gusto could be the next payroll step you’ve been looking for.

The Band Of The Scots Guards - Sousa Specials mp3 album
Sousa Specials! (LP, Album). Band Of The Scots Guards. PH 6859 206. The Band Of The Scots Guards. Switzerland. SON 036.
Sousa Specials! (LP, Album). 6870 595.
The Band of the Scots Guards is one of five bands in the Foot Guards Regiments in the Household Division which primarily guards the British monarch. The band is based at Wellington Barracks in St James's, London, which is the same place as for all the foot guards bands. The band should not be confused with the Pipes and Drums, which is a separate entity comprising fighting soldiers who are also pipers, rather than full-time professional musicians.
Scots Guards, Aldershot. Government organisation. Guards and their Pipes and Drums formed the Escort to the Crown, as the Duke of Hamilton brought the Crown of Scotland from Edinburgh Castle to the Parliament building. The soldiers then lined the route from the Palace of Holyroodhouse to the Parliament as her Majesty was driven, along with HRH the Duke of Rothesay (Prince Charles' Scottish Title), to be welcomed by Edinburgh's Lord Provost.
The Specials is the debut album by British ska revival band The Specials. Released on 19 October 1979 on Jerry Dammers' 2 Tone label, the album is seen by some as the defining moment in the UK ska scene. Produced by Elvis Costello, the album captures the disaffection and anger felt by the youth of the UK's "concrete jungle"-a phrase borrowed from Bob Marley's 1972 album Catch a Fire but equally apposite used here to describe the grim, violent inner cities of 1970s Britain.
The Regimental Band, Pipes and Drums of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards – Scotland The Brave/The Black Bear (Medley). Major Roger G.

The Monroe Journal newspaper in Monroeville, Ala., under the direction of editor and proprietor Q. Salter, published five editions 100 years ago during the month of December 1915. Those issues, which were dated Dec. 2, Dec. 9, Dec. 16, Dec. 23 and Dec. 30, can be found on microfilm at the Monroe County Library in Monroeville. What follows are a few news highlights from those four editions. Enjoy.
DEC. 2, 1915
Miss Jennie Faulk spent several days last week with friends in Evergreen.
Thanksgiving passed very quietly in Monroeville, and aside from the suspension of ordinary business there was nothing to mark or mar the occasion.
There were 8,756 bales of cotton ginned in Monroe County from the crop of 1915 prior to Nov. 14 as compared with 19,882 bales ginned prior to Nov. 14, 1914. – S.D. Nettles, Special Agent.
The principal and faculty of the Monroe County High School were hosts on Monday to the principal, Miss Sarah Luther of the Conecuh County High School, and faculty, composed of Misses Skinner and Vaughn and Prof. Williams; and on Wednesday Prof. Claude Hardy, principal of the Wilcox County High School and Miss Palmer of the Alabama Girls’ School, Montevallo, were visitors to the school. Prof. Harris jocularly remarked that he was in doubt as to whether these visits were for the purpose of straightening out the local school or merely to take dots for the improvement of the sister institutions. Whatever the motive, the visits were appreciated and will probably result in an exchange of courtesies on convenient occasions.
Mrs. L.A. Hixon’s handsome new dwelling is nearing completion and will prove quite an addition to that part of the city.
The new bungalo being erected by Mr. M.R. Sowell near his residence is well underway and will be ready for occupancy by Mr. E.R. Morrissette Jr. and family by the first of the new year.
DEC. 9, 1915
Dr. A.B. Coxwell attended the session of the Masonic Grand Lodge in Montgomery last week.
Death of Thomas C. McCorvey Jr.: Thomas Chalmers McCorvey Jr., the second son of Col. and Mrs. Thomas C. McCorvey, passed away last night at seven o’clock at the home of his parents on the University campus, death coming to relieve a long struggle which had been made against odds, for the deceased had been an invalid for three years.
Tom McCorvey, as he was affectionately known throughout the state, was born on the 28th of October, 1886. He finished preparatory school and entered the University of Alabama in the fall of 1904, leaving two years later to accept a responsible position in the City Bank and Trust Co. of Mobile in which he was the first assistant cashier. During his University days, Mr. McCorvey was prominently associated with every phase of college life and was universally popular among the boys. When physical strength was no longer sufficient for the demands of service, Mr. McCorvey was granted a leave of absence from the bank and three years ago he went west hoping that the climate would invigorate him. But failing to recover completely he returned to his native home where, surrounded by his loved ones, he fought a valiant but losing battle.
The deepest sympathy of the entire state will go out to the parents and family of Mr. McCorvey, for his father Col. T.C. McCorvey, is one of the oldest and best loved professors in the University and is one of the best known educators in Alabama, while his mother, a member of the distinguished Tutwiler family, has been a friend to the University boys for many years.
DEC. 16, 1915
LOST – Between Repton and Castleberry, bunch of keys. Suitable reward for return to S.J. Yarbrough, Monroeville, Ala.

DEC. 23, 1915
There will be a singing convention at Goodway, Ala. on Sun., Jan. 2, 1916. Singing in the Sacred Harp. Singing people of Monroe County will be cordially welcomed. – Thos. D. Matheny.
Mr. A.J. Dees, living near Peterman, killed three fine porkers, weighing respectively 294, 337 and 358 dressed or an aggregate of 993 pounds. The shadow of hard times do not overspread the Dees home.
The regular examination of applicants for teachers’ certificates began in the courthouse on Monday under the direction of County Superintendent Barnes. A goodly number essayed the ordeal.
Rev. C.A. Williams, the new pastor of the Monroeville group of Methodist churches, is expected to arrive with his family about New Year.
Rev. D.F. Ellisor spent a few days among Monroeville friends this week while arranging for the shipment of his household effects to his new home at Jackson.
Mr. O.M. Crook was over from Burnt Corn yesterday.
Dr. G.H. Harper of Uriah was here Wednesday, greeting his many Monroeville friends.
Messrs. J.B. Barnett and L.J. Bugg were business visitors to the Gulf City last week.
DEC. 30, 2015
Christmas in Monroeville was unusually quiet and uneventful. All business houses were closed throughout the day and Sabbath stillness pervaded. It is gratifying to note that not the slightest indication of intoxication was observable on the streets.
Miss Lula Nole was accidentally shot in the face with a .22 caliber rifle by her little nephew on Christmas day near Roy. Only a flesh wound was inflicted and no serious consequences are apprehended.
Mr. C.E. Barker of Birmingham has been employed as County Road Engineer, succeeding Mr. P.W. Turner. Mr. Barker has been connected with some of the largest engineering enterprises in the state and is otherwise highly recommended.
Rev. C.A. Williams, the new pastor of the Monroeville circuit, arrived Wednesday evening with his family and is comfortably domiciled in the parsonage. Our people extended to them a most cordial welcome.
Mr. W.S. Keller, State Highway Engineer, spent Monday in Monroeville, supervising the letting of a contract for a section of state aid road.

BY JENNIFER CABRERA
Gene Davon Hunt, 19, was arrested yesterday morning for rape of a victim under 18.
According to the arrest report, on October 18, Hunt gave a 14-year-old girl (the victim) and another person (the witness) a ride to McDonald’s after school, and after buying food, the witness began driving while Hunt got into the back seat with the victim. The victim told investigators that she thought they were going back to the school, but instead they parked in the parking lot east of Dollar General near Gainesville High School.
Hunt allegedly asked the witness to get out of the car, then he told the victim he wanted to have sex. She said she told him no, but he allegedly laughed, took off his pants, put on a condom, and eventually allegedly removed her shorts, flipped her over, and forcibly penetrated her vagina and anus. The witness and Hunt then took the girl back to school. The victim told investigators that Hunt knew she was 14, but he did not care, and she said that he has a reputation for “messing with freshmen.”
Post Miranda, Hunt told investigators that he and the victim only kissed and that the witness was only out of the car for about two minutes. He denied having sex with the victim at any point. However, the witness reported that she was out of the vehicle for about 15-20 minutes and that Hunt and the victim had sex.
The address listed for Hunt’s arrest is the address of Gainesville High School, and his occupation is listed as “student.”

Waiting for the Correction
Dispatch from the Snow Zone
Hitting the Books in China
Cabot analysts (including me, frankly) have been talking about a coming correction in the stock market for quite a while now, but no correction has materialized. I’m starting to see the wisdom of one of Trotsky’s followers who said that it was proof of the farsightedness of Trotsky’s predictions that none of them had come true yet.
This coming correction has been on people’s minds because dire predictions make people nervous. I’m also getting lots of questions about the wave of recent articles predicting a recession or a hiccup or a collapse for the Chinese economy.
I have two answers to all predictions about what will happen to the markets—in the U.S. or China—or any other stock, sector, industry, country or market.
The first is that I don’t know what will happen. That seems kind of obvious.
The second is that stock market rallies always lead to corrections. Always. And the reasons for those corrections and the exact timing of when they occur just aren’t that interesting. Especially if you’re just in the market to try to make some money.
Consider this. The S&P 500 Index finished up a major, four-and-a-half month correction in August, then took off in September and has been in a strong uptrend ever since. From its August lows, there’s been just about a 25% advance for this key large-cap index.
The Dow Jones Industrial Index, the traditional mega-cap indicator, is now pushing toward 12,000, a level it hasn’t enjoyed since it crashed below it on the way down in 2008. That correction hit its bone-jarring bottom at 6,500 in March 2009.
And that March bottom, despite a significant correction and consolidation in 2010, was really the beginning of the bull market that we’re still enjoying.
Well, maybe “enjoying” isn’t quite the right word, because the market has been pretty cranky lately. While the indexes continue to advance, many of our favorite growth stocks have come in for some punishment and volatility has picked up.
This rotation out of the leaders, combined with elevated investor sentiment and an advance that has kept the major indexes out of contact with their moving averages since late November is plenty of reason to anticipate that some turbulence is likely sooner rather than later.
Fortunately, the Cabot growth investment disciplines don’t depend on predicting market movements. So I’ve never spent any time trying to nail down when the pullback might come or how large it might be.
This keeps me within the guidelines laid down years ago by a savvy economist who said that you should never write a number and a date on the same page if you want to keep your reputation intact.
The takeaway from all this is that you should try as hard as you can to ignore predictions about what the market is going to do.
If you’re standing on the beach with your surfboard, what you really need to know is whether the waves are up.
If they are, you surf.
If they aren’t, you wait.
And when the correction that everyone knows will occur gets here, you shorten your mental stops on the stocks you own, restrict your new buying and build your watch list of attractive stocks for the time when the markets get healthy again.
It’s a lot easier than trying to tell the future.

The Early Bird Grows Insanely Rich
A group of elite investors are seeing huge gains in undiscovered stocks where others see only small profits. They recently banked …
94.5% annualized gain in 8 months on Depomed
112% profit in 7 months on Acorn Energy
120% annualized profit in 5 months on Virage Logic
And that’s only the beginning. See what you’re missing in Cabot Small-Cap Confidential.
If you like snow, this New England winter should be one of your favorites.
We’ve had at least four major snowstorms and the piles of snow beside most streets are about three or four feet high. Many streets have been reduced to the width of country lanes by the encroaching snow berms.
My own commute from Dover, New Hampshire, to Salem, Massachusetts, usually takes me a little over an hour and features mostly restricted access roads like New Hampshire’s Spaulding Turnpike and Interstate 95.
But the limited access that usually protects traffic flow can backfire when there’s an accident or some other obstruction.
And this morning my commute was closer to two hours after an accident on the Spaulding backed traffic up for more than a mile during morning commute time.
Then a pair of snowplow/salt trucks traveling at about 35 miles an hour blocked two of the southbound lanes on I95, backing up that flow (which usually zips along at about 80 mph during the morning rush—don’t tell the state police) for additional miles.
The big unspoken secret about winter driving in New England is that drivers here don’t all handle it with the patience and expertise that you might expect if you only know the region from reading Yankee Magazine.
There hasn’t been a single “snow event” during which I haven’t seen a series of fender benders, spinouts and SUVs on their backs in the median. While my pickup truck and I are doing our safe-and-steady reduced pace in the snow, slush and salt, we’re constantly passed by numbskulls in four-wheel-drive vehicles of all sorts, many of them with pilots who have cell phones glued to their ears.
Apparently they don’t realize that it doesn’t make any difference if all four wheels are driven if none of them is in contact with the pavement.
I’ve always said that if you build idiot-proof cars, nature will build a better idiot.
There’s an investing lesson here, too. I think it’s something about the way some people feel that access to the Internet and online brokerage accounts with truckloads of information and a huge array of exchange-traded funds, options and selling controls gives them a real edge in the market. The sense of invincibility conferred by loads of information is remarkably similar to the myth that SUVs can’t lose traction during blizzards.
In investing, just as in driving, you have to take conditions into account.
Of course that’s a lesson I had to learn by spinning my VW Rabbit around three times before its rear end came gently to rest on an I95 snowbank all those many winters ago.
Traffic, like the stock market, always charges a steep price for its lessons.
If you’d like a trustworthy partner in buying stocks of companies in emerging markets, you might want to consider a no-risk trial subscription to Cabot China & Emerging Markets Report. With a cautious eye on market conditions and years of experience in negotiating the ups and downs of these volatile regions, I think I give pretty good advice. You can get started by clicking this little link here. And good luck with any snow that falls in your region.
My stock tip today is an emerging markets stock that made a splash when it came public in the U.S. in early December.
It’s E-Commerce China Dangdang (DANG), an online bookseller that’s being called “the Amazon of China.”
There’s plenty of precedent for calling a company “the _______ of China,” including Ctrip.com (the Expedia of China) and Baidu (the Google of China). And the implication that a similar business proposition will prosper in China as it has in the U.S. is actually fairly sound.
Dangdang had six million active customers in 2009 and sales of $298 million. In a country of 1.4 billion people, that leaves a ton of headroom for an ambitious company that’s pushing its way (as Amazon already has) into general merchandise and third-party sales.
My point about Dangdang is that its stock was initially priced at 16 at its IPO, so its close at 30 on its first day brought a nice premium for those who got in early. But those favored few were the only people to really luck out. Anyone who bought in at 30 on December 8 is now under water by about 30 cents, as DANG has traded in weekly swings in a tightening range.
Enormous potential isn’t enough to earn a buy rating in my book, but the combination of potential plus a stock that’s trading sideways (forming a base, in other words) is certainly enough to put it on my Watch List.

The wraparound jacket on the 14th volume of Takeshi Azuma's Denpa Kyōshi - He Is a Ultimate Teacher manga revealed on Friday that the television anime adaptation of the manga will debut this spring.
The story centers around Junichirō, a young man obsessed with manga, anime, and games. He was a young genius who published papers in the journals Nature and Science when he was only 17. However, after graduating college, he became a NEET (Not in Education, Employment, or Training) absorbed in his anime blog. Unable to watch Kagami throw away his life, his sister Suzune gets him to work at the Ichō Academy she attends. The head of the school's board, Koyomi Hiiragi, assigns Kagami to his new life as a teacher.
Azuma has been drawing the manga in Shogakukan's Weekly Shonen Sunday magazine since late 2011. The Japanese title of the manga literally means "Electromagnetic-Wave Teacher," a reference to the term denpa-kei for people who act bizarrely, such as extreme otaku. The slang was coined from people who claimed their actions were caused by electromagnetic waves (denpa) they received.

A legal dispute pitting a Scotts Miracle-Gro subsidiary against an investment fund controlled by the executive chair of cannabis multistate operator TerrAscend has been settled, with the MSO-connected investment fund in effect agreeing to be bought out of a deal involving the purchase of a New York medical marijuana company.
RIV Capital, a Toronto-based investment firm bankrolled in part by the Hawthorne Collective, a cannabis-focused subsidiary of Scotts, announced the settlement in a news release Thursday.
Scotts has funded legalization efforts in the Northeast and is trying to enter the retail cannabis market in that part of the country.
Last March, RIV Capital announced it had struck a deal to purchase Etain Health for $247 million.
Etain is one of the 10 vertically integrated medical marijuana companies allowed in New York state under current law.
The company has locations in midtown Manhattan as well as upstate.
RIV used $150 million from Ohio-based Hawthorne to close the Etain deal.
While vertically integrated companies in New York are currently locked out of the adult-use market, over the long term, the state has the potential to become one of the largest marijuana markets in the U.S.
The legal wrangling over Etain stems from the fact that RIV Capital’s leading shareholder is Jason Wild, the executive chair of TerrAscend.
Wild holds almost 20% of RIV’s shares through an investment advisory firm he controls called JW Asset Management.
TerrAscend has licenses in six states, including New Jersey, where the company operates three stores “adjacent to” New York City, the company reported in an August 2022 investor deck.
That would put TerrAscend and Etain in competition for the cannabis market in the northern New Jersey-New York City metro area.
Last year, according to a lawsuit filed earlier this month by attorneys for Hawthorne against JW Asset Management, Wild “tried to stop” RIV’s purchase for “TerrAscend’s benefit” and in violation of federal antitrust law.
In its release Thursday, RIV Capital said it agreed in effect to pay Wild $19.6 million for the company’s shares “currently owned or controlled by” JW Asset Management “and its affiliates.”
RIV Capital also said the pending lawsuit had been settled.
In return, Wild “and JWAM have agreed, among other things, not to take any action that would interfere with” Hawthorne’s investment at RIV, according to the release.
An MJBizDaily request for comment sent to Hawthorne via the company’s attorney of record, Peter Safirstein, was not immediately returned.
Mark Sim, RIV’s president, said in a statement that the settlement will allow the company to “focus on continuing to operationalize New York, in addition to exploring a range of opportunities inside and outside of New York as we seek to build our platform going forward.”

Cars have evolved a great deal over the decades, and while some of the changes have been subtle — a fender curve here, a modest engine improvement there — other modifications have been game-changers. While British, German, French, Japanese and other world automakers have come up with innovations that have changed the marketplace, the United States is always at the forefront of automotive design and technology. How much do you know about the innovations that have come from automobile manufacturers based in the United States of America? This quiz will test your knowledge of American moxie and expertise.
We take a great many of the developments that have shaped automobile design since the dawn of the 20th century for granted, but when they first came out, some of these innovations changed the way the driving public saw the automobile and its role not only in society but in their own lives. Before some of the inventions listed in this quiz, such as the electric starter, driving wasn't even a possibility for some.
Many of these advancements first appeared in luxury vehicles but soon trickled down into consumer vehicles as the technology matured. Some are still only available in premiere models, but if history is any indication they will become commonplace soon enough.
So, are you schooled on automotive history? Are you up on American history? This quiz will link the two and test your knowledge of American ingenuity and motor vehicle evolution. We think you're up to the challenge, so let's do this!

With beautiful names, it’s hard to miss the destinations of Ladakh and Kashmir with the Ladakh Tour and Kashmir Tour.
Ladakh, located in northernmost India, is known for its alluring natural landscapes, rugged terrain, and unique heritage.
The enchanting beauty of Kashmir is not hidden from the world and across the globe. The highest mountain ranges, including the Karakoram and the mighty Himalayas, surround the region of Ladakh.
The Valley of Kashmir is nestled in the Himalayas under the umbrella of azure blue skies with the snow-covered mountains as its backdrop.
The land of high passes has the coldest deserts in the world. Make incredible memories as you take click snapshots and enjoy adventurous activities like rafting, trekking, paragliding, and biking.
Magic engulfs the Valley of Kashmir in its rivers, silvery streams, freshwater lakes, shikaras, and cascading waterfalls with pine, chinar, and deodar forests. People also know Kashmir as the Switzerland of the East because of its natural beauty.
The trip to Ladakh is like the tip of an iceberg, filled with delightful places that overpower your soul and mind.
Walk the moonlike landscape for real as you visit Lamayuru with the Ladakh Tour. It is many times referred to as the Moonscape by visiting tourists. Mahasiddacarya Naropa founded Lamayuru in the eleventh century.
The visit to Lamayuru is dreamlike, tranquil, and moonlike. It is known for its jagged landscape, insta-worthy stories, and the famous Lamayuru monastery, perched at three thousand five hundred and ten meters. The monastery has some of the most beautiful frescoes and masks.
Tourists can also glimpse the glassed meditation cave of Lama Naropa. Yuru Kabyat is the annual festival which is a major attraction of the monastery. Mask dance performed by the lamas is the major highlight of the festival.
The most visited and a favorite with tourists on the wishlist of Kashmir Tour is the capital of Jammu and Kashmir- Srinagar is your only chance to enjoy a ride on the shikhara and swiftly glide over the peaceful Dal Lake along with a view of the city atop Shankaracharya Temple and a comfortable stay in the houseboats.
Srinagar is also the point of entry and departure for many pilgrim voyages, trekking bases, and hill station getaways. Do visit the Mughal Gardens, a masterpiece of grandeur located at the foothills of the Zabarwan hills.
Pari Mahal is a fine example of a terraced garden constructed in the seventeenth century. It offers a great view of the Dal Lake. The city of Srinagar is not merely famous for its temples and gardens.
It is also known for adventure-fueled activities like skiing, horse riding, paragliding, and trekking. Buy your share of Pashminas, wooden boxes, spices, papier mache bangles, and embroidered scarves.
The ultimate guide for the Ladakh Tour takes a swift turn to the Sangam Point, located in the Leh region and one of the most famous tourist attractions.
In the barren mountains of the area, two major rivers of Ladakh merge at one point and showcases a heavenly view. Nimmu Valley is the location where these two rivers converge. The merging waters can easily be distinguished from one another by their colors.
The glistening blue color of the Zanskar River, which emerges from the Zanskar Valley, blends with the green-hued Indus as it has its source in the Indus Valley and lies near the Mansarovar range of the lofty Himalayas.
The best time to view the colors of the rivers is from March to May.
The Kashmir Tour makes the trip to Sonmarg or the “meadow of gold,” hassle-free. The beauty of Sonmarg reaches a new high during the spring season as there is a widespread bloom of the yellow crocuses.
This high-altitude tourist attraction houses the three famous rivers of Lidder, Sind, and Neelum. Also, it is the base camp for the trekking excursion of the Thajiwas Glacier.
Enjoy an exciting experience of river rafting on the gushing Indus River. Satsar Lake situated in the Ganderbal district of Kashmir means seven lakes. These are seven alpine lakes that are clustered and interlinked with each other in a cascading form.
Gadsar Lake at a height of five thousand meters with the captivating Himalayas as the backdrop. The lake of fish in Nimmu Valley is famous for housing the rare and endangered brown trout fishes and being flanked by mesmerizing alpine meadows, floating icebergs, and wildflowers.
Baltal Valley is the ideal base for the pilgrims as they take up the pious Amarnath Yatra on River Sindhi’s banks.
The scenic views of the Ladakh Tour continue as the tourists visit the Tso Moriri. This picturesque high-altitude lake is situated in the Rupshu Valley, flowing at an altitude of four thousand five hundred and ninety-five meters. It lies nestled between Ladakh and Tibet in the region of Changtang region.
The lake is a twin to Pangong Lake, with tranquil and scenic views of the mountains. The total length of the lake measures around 28 kilometers from north to south and is eight kilometers wide.
It would be best to have an inner-line permit to visit the lake. Tso Moriri can only be seen during April as the lake melts and continues to May, June, July, and August.
You can spot many birds in the area, including the bare-headed goose, the Brahmin duck, and the great crested grebe.
Tso Moriri is even known as the “mountain lake “as it lies at a towering height of two thousand meters which shuts it off from the outside world.

‘This Is a Moment’: Civil Rights Lawyers Confront Pandemic and Police Violence Inequities
“In many respects, the pandemic has helped to just rip the Band-Aid off and make more visible the racial fault lines that exist in America,” said Kristen Clarke, president of the National Lawyers’ Committee for Civil Rights Under Law.
By Jacqueline Thomsen
The National Law Journal
June 04, 2020 at 01:08 PM
“The pandemic and the tragic police violence have one fundamental thing in common, which is that they both reflect and exacerbate deep seated institutional racism, particularly against black Americans,” said Sam Spital, the director of litigation for the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund. “From a civil rights law perspective, they both require a response that is designed to address that deep-seated institutional racism. And to me, this is a moment in American history where fundamental transformation is necessary.”

Showtime kicked off new seasons of two original series last night, with the season premiere of the final string of Dexter episodes and the series premiere of the new drama Ray Donovan (read Allison’s recap here). The Liev Schreiber-fronted series broke Showtime records, scoring the largest audience for an original series debut in the network’s history. The show’s 1.35 million take eclipsed the previous record holder, Homeland, which nabbed 1.08 million viewers in its season one debut.
Dexter returned strong for its eighth and final season, scoring 2.5 million viewers and marking the show’s largest premiere audience ever. That tops last season’s 2.4 million viewers, though it’s still down from the season seven finale’s 2.8 million viewers.
Everyone has a motive ...
A mysterious and captivating performance that provided a great complexity for the season's main question mark.
'True Blood' actor Stephen Moyer and Katey Segal lead the cast of the 13th Century-set drama.
And they are everything fans could possibly want.
In the first Red Nose Day special on American shores (benefitting the charity Comic Relief), celebrities such as Julia Roberts, Hugh Grant, Anna Kendrick, and even Kermit the Frog all showed up to participate in the live telecast.
The 'Game of Thrones' cast and Coldplay got together to create a 12-minute sketch to raise money for Red Nose Day.
Dylan O'Brien and Tyler Posey lead the supernatural series, which looks to be taking a dark turn in its fifth season.
The telepathic detective returns in a guest arc in the revival series.
John Travolta, Sarah Paulson, and more bring the trial of O.J. Simpson to life in Ryan Murphy's FX true crime miniseries.
First every network wanted to have its own reality programming, now they all want to move to scripted. Epix's first two projects seem ambitious, though; could they put the network on the map?

Fusion Winter Guard is proud to announce that Rich Kim will be returning for the 2019 Season as Show Designer. 2019 will be his 3rd consecutive year with FWG since it’s return to the floor.
“The success of Fusion Winter Guard’s program has been a huge result of Rich’s creativity and masterful approach design”, says Rob Watson, Fusion Winter Guard’s Executive Director. “When I took over the Fusion organization in 2017, Rich’s inclusion was a must. He constantly pushes our team to test the boundaries of design and brings an entertainment value that is unmatched.”
2019 marks Rich’s third year as Show Designer for Fusion Winter Guard. He started his marching career in the MAIN circuit with the South Brunswick HS colorguard from 1992-1999 and was their equipment writer and tech for 4 years after he graduated. After high school he also marched with St Ann’s World (2000 WGI IW Silver Medalist) and Blessed Sacrament World (2005 WGI IW Bronze Medalist).

Please join the Fusion Winter Guard family in welcoming back Rich Kim as show designer.


The current issue of Roll Call has a fascinating interactive timeline on legislative efforts in the United States to enact a national health insurance plan. The timeline goes all the way back to 1883, when German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck created the world's first national health insurance program.
The U.S. misadventure starts in 1915 (coincidentally, the same year that ACP was founded) when the "American Association for Labor Legislation proposes a 'model bill'" for compulsory national health insurance---with initial support from the American Medical Association! (As we all know, within a few years the AMA had switched to oppose any kind of national health insurance plan.)
Click on any of the highlighted dates, and a window will open with more information on what happened (or more often did not happen) that year.
The tool is a lot of fun for armchair health historians like me. Except for the four dreaded words that show up throughout the timeline:
"Congress rejects the plan."
1939: "Sens. Robert Wagner (D-N.Y.), James Murray (D-Mont.) and Rep. John Dingell Sr. (D-Mich.) introduce a national health bill in February. After hearings from April to July, the measure dies in committee."
1946: "The Wagner-Murray-Dingell measure is reintroduced. During April hearings before the Senate Education and Labor Committee, the sponsors carefully avoid the word 'compulsory' when discussing the legislation. Sens. Robert Taft (Ohio) and Joseph Ball (Minn.) and Rep. Margaret Chase Smith (Maine) offer a Republican alternative that provides grants to the states for medical care to the poor. The debate is repeated again in 1947 and 1949."
1974: "President Richard Nixon propose[d] a Comprehensive Health Insurance Act after calling for universal access to health insurance in his last State of the Union address. The plan builds on existing private employer-based health insurance, adding subsidies for the self-employed and small businesses. Congress rejects the plan."
1979: "Congress rejects Carter plan."
1994: Majority Leader George Mitchell abandons Senate reform efforts, marking the end of the Clintons' Health Security Act. Republicans take control of Congress in the November elections for the first time in 40 years.
Fast forward now to March 5, 2009. President Obama tells the VIPs at last week's White House summit:
"Health care reform cannot wait, it must not wait, and it will not wait another year."
If Obama is right, he will achieve something that eluded FDR, Truman, Kennedy, Johnson, Nixon, Carter, and Clinton.
Like Captain Kirk from the old Star Trek series, Obama must be so supremely confident in his abilities that he believes he can go where no president has gone before. Or he understands that something has fundamentally changed in the United States that makes the conditions for reform more favorable than at any time since Bismarck. Or maybe it is both.
Today's questions: Why do you think President Obama believes he will succeed when the history of health care reform in the U.S. is really a story of how "Congress rejects the plan" over and over again?


text: Hi! I’m starting a project to create clothes which are grown, processed, woven and sewn in the UK. We want to design and prototype machinery to process the raw plant fibre into thread which is easy to build, open source, maybe bicycle powered, and will allow small farmers to process their flax and hemp plants without having to send them far away overseas for spinning. This will empower regenerative farmers to create small local supply chains with ethical fashion designers and artisans! I’m currently applying for funding for this project and looking for collaborators, so if you’re interested please get in touch!


Amid all the exchanges of outrage in the House yesterday over funding of troops in Iraq, we highlight one bad idea that did pass: A targeted tax increase on small businesses and employers to pay for veterans education benefits.
Specifically, by a vote of 256-166, the House approved an amendment to the supplemental appropriations bill that would impose a new .47% tax on S-corporations and other individuals with more than $500,000 in adjusted gross income in order to fund expanded education benefits to veterans.
Here’s how The New York Times described the vote: “House Approves Tax on Rich to Aid G.I.’s” If by rich, you mean small-business owners who file as an S-corp, that’s accurate.
The NAM strongly supports efforts to honor the veterans of our nation and to provide them with education benefits. However, we believe that the amendment’s expanded benefits should not be paid for by the small businesses most responsible for creating jobs and growing the economy. To raise taxes that would harm the economy means fewer jobs for returning veterans.
Twenty-seven million small businesses – including about 50 percent of the NAM’s members – operate as S-corporations or other “flow through” entities. They pay taxes at the individual rate and would thus be subject to the tax increase the amendment would impose. Levying a .47 percent additional tax on individual incomes over $500,000 would have a negative impact on these companies. Higher taxes on manufacturers, especially at a time when the economy is contracting, means there will be less money for business expansion and job creation.
Used to be that politicians dared only talk of funding new government spending by “repealing the Bush tax cuts for the wealthy.” Now it’s taxing the wealthy. What’s the next shift going to be?

Helen Power of the Times is reporting that Mike Ashley has set a 5:00 pm deadline today for the Newcastle club to be sold.
Ashley and Moat recently at St. James’ Park
So if that’s correct, at least Mike is keeping to his word that today is D-day and he will decide whether the club will be sold.
5pm local time is less than four hours away at the time of writing, so we would expect an announcement on the official site shortly after that time.
The report suggests that Barry Moat is the only player, and he will be given another 4 hours to buy the club.
Derek LLambias said yesterday that Moat was there or thereabouts (whatever that means) in relation to meeting Mike’s price of £100M, so we have to hope (and pray) he can get the deal completed.
We hate to think about Ashley keeping the club another year, because every time we do we have to rush to the bathroom to vomit.
Yes, it’s really that bad.
Sources close to Ashley say he has still not received any official word from Barry Moat that Barclays bank, Newcastle’s lender, has approved the sale of the club for the Moat consortium.
The Times is suggesting the bank must agree to roll over the £40M overdraft to Moat’s consortium, before he can buy the club.
Let’s hope they agree to do that, otherwise we are going to be very disappointed in Barclays, that’s for sure.
You talk about going down to the wire – fingers and toes are crossed for a good outcome on this one.
It’s so important for the future of the Tyneside club.

Eagle open-space deal falls through
Eagle County correspondent
Aspen, CO Colorado
EAGLE ” A land deal that would have provided public access to a stretch of the Eagle River east of town has collapsed.
A couple of months ago, the town of Eagle and Eagle County informally agreed to partner up to purchase the “Green Bridge property” ” 35 acres along the river east of town.
The purchase price was $5 million, and the town agreed to appropriate $1 million contingent on the county picking up the rest of the tab. Last week, however, the deal fell apart.
“The open space advisory committee took a look at it and said they could consider contributing $2 million toward the purchase,” County Commissioner Sara Fisher said.
That left the deal $2 million short.
The county hoped to attract other funding sources for the purchase, but the deal was on a fast track, and the county was unable to find partners within the time constraints, Fisher said.
Eagle is looking for another partner for the deal and watching the clock. The deadline to purchase the land for open space is Aug. 15.
The parcel, which includes both sides of the river, is owned by Vail businessman Merv Lapin. The river property is adjacent to the town boundary.
Developer Matt Dietz holds an option on the land, and had been contemplating a residential development. Dietz agreed to negotiate for an open space deal with the town and the county, but set the deadline for the effort.
Initially, the county commissioners were eager to move forward with the purchase.
“I think this could trigger the protection of all the lands along the river east of Eagle. I’m 110 percent behind this,” Commissioner Arn Menconi said of the proposal in April.
Since that time, however, county officials have been less enthused with the deal.
Fisher said a significant amount of the land involved is on the south side of the river, and is virtually inaccessible because of steep slopes. And, she noted, as the county thought about the deal further, the commissioners decided the land wasn’t at risk for dense development.

The things that unity us are greater than the things that divide us. There is nothing greater than mankind living in love and unity
Like me, you are probably tired of hearing about the Corona Virus. However it is here, it is real, and we have to be sensible. It is up to each of us to do our part to stop the spread. It will not go away at the wave of a magic wand, although we all wish it would.
Don’t put yourself at unnecessary risk. Avoid crowds, wear a mask, practice social distancing. Adapt to a new norm. The sooner this is over the better, but remember we all have to do our part.
Our new reality is simply to try and survive without giving way to stress and depression.
Life is a magnificent gift, a precious treasure. Life is delicate and also priceless. Life can be short and so we must hold on; make the best of every day. Life, love, laugh, and enjoy life.
Last night I had the most amazing dream. I was in the middle of the road and a big passenger bus was coming straight at me. There was no escape. The bus hit me, but amazingly I was not hurt and I was still standing.
What happened next was absolutely incredible. I lifted this huge bus and threw it over an embankment. I watched it go over, turned around and saw a large body of water. I stood there panicking, wondering how I would get across, when astonishing the water slowly dried up leaving dry land for me to walk.
Have ever had a dream that was incredibly amazing? Feel free to share.
If you are one of those who suffer from the Monday blues I hope you have shaken it off by now. Don’t worry before you know it Friday will be here again. Have a great week!
Is Equality Feasible
Throughout history inequality has always existed and one race of people hold themselves superior to another. However does this whole concept stem from scientific evidence or just plain stupidity? The color of one’s skin does not define a man. All men are created the same. One race of people do not possess superior brains or body organs that another do not possess. To say the goods is better because the packaging is different shows ignorance and stupidity.
Ignorant and stupid people we can live with. However when these people are so driven by hate of skin color that a person is hurt or killed just for walking while being black we have a very serious problem. Most serial killers are white males, does this mean every time we look into the face of a white man we see a potential serial killer? There are black men who break the law and yes they commit crimes but does that mean every black man is a criminal?
While we cannot change a person’s thinking and make a stupid person smart those who take the oath to protect must do so without prejudice. They must see people not in terms of skin color but as human beings. They must stop looking through biased lens where they see a white man as a decent citizen and the black man a potential criminal just by looking at their skin color. If you give a mad man a loaded gun a catastrophe is likely to happen. Presently we have power given to biased perhaps even racist law enforcers and catastrophes are taking place.
The killing of young unharmed black male must stop. Law enforcer acting like thugs and beating up on black men must stop. The policy of shoot first and ask question after must stop. Lead by example. There is no need to kill a man unless your own life is in danger. Do not abuse the power you are given, when you do so it makes you no better than the criminals. This is for all law enforcers irrespective of skin color for the black police officer is just as quick to beat up on his own as the white one is. People are people and we must move forward by accepting and respecting one another. Too many black males have already lost their lives unnecessarily. Let good judgement and fairness prevail. Let there be equal rights and justice for all.
I wrote this article six years ago. Since then nothing much has changed and it is just as relevant now as it was back then.
Good Morning my fellow bloggers. May you all have a wonderful and peaceful Sunday!

SSH short for Secure Socket Shell is used to connect Cloud Server or any remote server with user securely. The major application of SSH is in Cloud Web Servers. The web developer needs to connect to the server in order to access files and folders on the server.
In simple terms, SSH is a protocol which allows an end to end connection with Server and user over the Internet.
Use of SSH?
There is serval use of ssh as it is like a backbone of the cloud server. Because SSH gives you an ability to virtually connect to the server and run commands on that server remotely. This is only possible through SSH. Just imagine there is no SSH then how we will need to access the server at a remote location. We need to physically travel to that location to upload the files or make some changes in the server. Like installing new software or upgrading server. This is not possible every time. With SSH you can connect the server on your personal computer and control it via a shell command line.


Motivated by the recursive Newton-Euler formulation, we propose a novel cascaded Gaussian process learning framework for the inverse dynamics of robot manipulators. This approach leads to a significant dimensionality reduction which in turn results in better learning and data efficiency. We explore two formulations for the cascading: the inward and outward, both along the manipulator chain topology. The learned modeling is tested in conjunction with the classical inverse dynamics model (semi-parametric) and on its own (non-parametric) in the context of feed-forward control of the arm. Experimental results are obtained with Jaco 2 six-DOF and SARCOS seven-DOF manipulators for randomly defined sinusoidal motions of the joints in order to evaluate the performance of cascading against the standard GP learning. In addition, experiments are conducted using Jaco 2 on a task emulating a pouring maneuver. Results indicate a consistent improvement in learning speed with the inward cascaded GP model and an overall improvement in data efficiency and generalization.

Just a little note to express my deep gratitude for the beautiful sound healing journey last week! It was truly beautiful and empowering to connect with the Jaguar energy. What an amazing, gracious and playful animal which holds so much inner strength. When the journey started, I was stuck in the jungle, but then the powerful female energy of the jaguar emerged and it was there, so peaceful and reassuring on my left side, making me feel it was safe to move on, letting me know that things unfold naturally. I can Trust the Unknown, I am not on my own, I am supported is what came up for me that night. Thank you Anthar for guiding us through this, for the sacredness, for the connection, for the love, for your work, for being authentic.
This iss a great post thanks

When Is Nude Photography Art or Porn?
Nude photography has to be one of the most controversial and polarising art forms in existence today. This type of photography is extremely hard to define and the boundaries of what is considered art, and what is pure porn are often blurred – there is a real grey area between tasteful art that depicts the human form in a natural way, and objectifying photos that have been created for lustful purposes only.
How can we define nude photography as an art form? When do nude art pics turn into porn and when are the lines blurred? This article dissects this topic and provides enlightenment on the never-ended debacle of art vs. porn.
The never-ending debate – a piece of art, or a piece of porn
So why is this even an issue for debate? Unfortunately, some people have a negative view of any type of depiction of the naked human form – regardless of if the photograph is artistic or not, they still look at it with disdain purely based on the fact that it displays nudity. Others accept that our bodies are beautiful and that the naked human form can be a true piece of art. It is these polarising opinions that cause debate and arguments – this is why it is important to try and classify when nude photography is considered art.
Some people are simply uncomfortable with displays of nudity
As mentioned, some people simply have an innate feeling of discomfort when viewing nude photography. Maybe this is because how they have been brought up, or their personal circumstance, or the surroundings they have been subject to, or even their moral beliefs. Even if the photograph is truly artistic and tasteful, just because it shows a breast, for example, they may never be able to look at it an artistic light.
The subject is intensely personal and subjective
Whilst we will try and classify what is considered nude art or pure porn, this subject is hugely personal. Everyone will have their own opinion and what someone considers to be art, someone else may consider to be pornography. This is why any definition should be taken with an open mind.
When is a nude photograph a piece of art?
So when can we consider nude photography art? Can we put a definition on this subject? What could be considered tasteful nude art pics? For a photo containing nudity to be considered art, the actual nudity shouldn’t be the main or sole focus of the photo. The nudity should merely be a secondary subject that enhances the whole concept and composition of the photo. Nude photography should not sexualize the human body and the concept and subject matter should not be about sex.
To look at it from a different angle – if the human subject in a nude photo had clothes, would this interfere with the flow and composition of the shot? Nude art photography uses nudity as a positive tool to create an image that evokes emotions and a mental response – a response that is not lustful, but thought-provoking. Nude photography as art shouldn’t be based on the idea of turning someone on or invoking a sexual reaction – if it does, then fine, but that shouldn’t be the purpose of the photo.
When does that photograph change into pornography?
You can generally see straight away when a photo is intended to be pornography – the central subject will usually be the genital area of a person, or they will be engaged in a sexual act. For example, if the photo is of a nude woman who is sitting in a sexual pose with her breasts clearly exposed, this is most likely porn! Whilst the actual image may not be pornographic i.e. explicit, the intent of the photo is clearly to cause arousal and therefore can be defined as erotic porn . The photos intent is to show the woman’s breasts and nothing else – it is not artistic or thought-provoking – the only thought it provokes is an unsavory one! This is porn – there is a clear difference. In a similar manner, generally, any photo that shows two people engaged in sexual acts, or contains words such as “XXX”, “hot”, “sexy” or “horny” has a pornographic intent.
We hope you now have a better idea of when nude photography is art porn – there is a difference and you just have to use your common sense!

Wounded British servicemen visit SC coast
May 20, 2010 8:55:00 AM - thestate.com
South Carolina is providing a restful stop for 42 British servicemen who have been wounded in Iraq and Afghanistan.
The Post and Courier reports the servicemen arrived at the Charleston City Marina on Wednesday on three boats.
The servicemen from the British army, air force and navy and some Nepalese troops called Gurkhas are on an around-the-world expedition to help them heal physically and psychologically.
Twelve of those crewing the 67-foot vessels are amputees.
The Gurkhas will leave Charleston for Britain while the rest of the expedition sails for Boston on Sunday.
