When it comes to business tax, you need to consider many questions before filing your first tax return: what type of entity is your business, what kind of expenses can you deduct, what kind of income is taxable, what type of tax must you pay, and so much more. Here is a quick overview of what to know before filing business taxes for the first time.
When you register your business, you choose an entity type: sole proprietor, limited liability company, partnership, corporation, etc. The type of entity you choose will dictate the type of tax return you must submit, the kinds of deductions you can claim, and what kind of tax you pay.
Sole proprietor, doing business as, and single owner LLCs are the simplest entity structures. If this is your business, then you file your business tax return with your individual income tax return on a Schedule C. You, not the business, pay taxes on business income. You can claim all reasonable business expenses including the cost of a home office and driving your personal vehicle for business purposes.
Partnerships and multi-member LLCs require their own tax return: Form 1065 where the business reports income, expenses, and partners' share of profits. Like sole proprietors and single member LLCs, these entities are also pass-through, so the individual owners pay tax on the income, not the business. Unlike sole proprietors, partnerships and multi-member LLCs cannot deduct certain expenses such as a home office or the use of a personal car unless those costs are reimbursed by the business or there is an agreement between the business and partners for reimbursement.
Corporations are the most complicated of all business entities. They are subject not only to tax reporting but also tax payment. Any income paid to owners is taxed separately and in addition to the corporate tax. Corporations may not deduct home office or use of a personal car expenses unless the corporation reimbursed the owner or employee who incurred such costs. Unlike the other entities, failure to file a corporate tax return even if that income is reported on the owner's individual income tax tolls the statute of limitation. This means that the IRS can go back to the first year you opened your business and asses tax and penalty against the business for all the years you failed to file Form 1120 even if you paid tax on that income on your personal tax return.
Look carefully at your business's entity status before filing your first tax return. Make sure that you are filing it on the correct form or schedule and applying the correct tax law. If you're not sure what your business entity type is, check your registration with the Secretary of State.
Most reasonable and necessary business expenses are deductible. However, be aware of certain rules that limit how expenses must be deducted.
For example, you can only deduct $5000 of start up costs and $5000 of organizational costs in the year you open your business. Any amount over that must be amortized over the lifetime of your business. Start up costs are expenses incurred before your business opened its doors to consumers. That can include purchasing furniture, training employees, prepaying software, and the like. Organizational costs are expenses incurred before you began your business such as attorney fees to draft an operating agreement and business registration costs.
Another common mistake new businesses make is expensing the cost of assets. Assets, as defined by the IRS, are any tangible goods that have a useful life span of over one year. This includes furniture, equipment, computers, phones, cars, trailers, tools, and more. You must depreciate assets over their useful life spans, which varies from asset to asset. Be aware that tax law frequently changes regarding depreciation and sometimes you need to make written elections to opt out of certain initiatives, such as the current Bonus Depreciation, or risk losing the ability to continue depreciating an asset. Failure to correctly depreciate can result in tax adjustments and needing to pay capital gains on the sale of assets, even when sold at a loss.
Other tricky deductions include owner's salary, home offices, vehicle expenses, and tax payments. Unless your business ran proper payroll (withheld tax, filed payroll tax returns, paid unemployment tax, etc.) for the owners, owner payments are not deductible. Home offices are limited only to spaces used exclusively and continuously for business purposes, and any costs associated with the home office must be deducted in proportion to the size of that space. When deducting vehicle expenses, you must choose between reporting mileage or actual expenses, and not all miles are deductible. Sales, use, property, and employer portion of the FICA tax are deductible; estimated tax are not.
When filing your first business tax return it's important you understand and correctly deduct business expenses.
All income is taxable unless specifically excluded by tax law. This includes cash payments, tips, exchange of service or property for your service or good, crypto, gains from the sale of property, interest earned, and more. When in doubt, report the income. If audited, you don't want your business to get in trouble for understating income because that comes with serious civil and criminal penalties. Unlike expenses that must be traceable and provable, income does not. Don't fall for the trap of not reporting cash income just because you did not document the exchange.
Types of Taxes
There are different types of taxes you or your business may own to the government: ordinary income tax, capital gains tax, self employment tax, corporate tax, sales tax, use tax, payroll tax, and estimated tax.
Ordinary income tax is tax on all income other than long-term capital gains. It is based on the business owner's individual income tax rate which varies from 10% to 37%. Capital gains tax applies to long-term gains, that is property held for over a year. Capital gains tax rate varies from 0% to 20%.
Self-employment tax is social security and medicare tax on earned income, meaning income generated from working. This does not apply to capital gain, awards, unemployment income, and the like. The tax rate is 15.3%. Even if your total income is less than the standard deduction, you will end up owing self-employment tax because the tax is calculated based on all earned income, not taxable income.
Corporate tax is a flat 21% tax on all income generated by a corporation. This does not apply to pass through entities. Sales tax are owed to state and local governments. See your state laws to learn if your business is subject to sales tax. The rate varies by location. Use tax is the tax owed when your business purchases a good without having paid sales tax on the purchase to the state where the business is located. This applies even if you paid sales tax to another state. This varies by industry and location, so check with your state and local governments for more information.
Payroll tax includes money you withheld from your employees for income, social security, and medicare tax as well as the employer portion of the social security and medicare tax. The income tax will vary depending on each employee's individual income tax rate. The combined employee and employer portion of the medicare and social security tax will equal to 15.3% of each employees income.
Estimated tax is tax you or your business must pay into the system throughout the year. Think of it like tax withholding by an employer. Except, instead of the employer withholding tax each pay period, you manually make the payments to the IRS and state government each quarter. You are required to pay either 100% of the prior year's tax liability or 90% of the current year's tax liability. Failure to pay estimated tax throughout the year will result in penalties.
Has all this information overwhelmed you? You are not alone. Preparing business taxes is a complicated task, which is why it is so important to find the right tax advisors for your business. We are experts at business tax law and would love to work with you to help your business grow and be compliant.

Pets find themselves homeless for a wide variety of reasons, in need of a new home and a second chance. So if you are looking for a new furry best friend, check out the shelter’s many residents. Any of them would make a great pet and wonderful companion.
Adoptions by appointment
Adoptions take place by appointment only, and that has worked very well. Donors have also helped with supplies and money, something very necessary to provide for the shelter’s homeless animals.
Potential adopters can call 717-263-5791 For more information.
Dumplin’ came into the shelter as a stray, so we don’t know a lot about her past, but man, does this little girl like to look out windows! She is a 2-year-old brown tabby girl with white and is a real sweetheart. Do you have a nice window seat Dumplin’ could have forever in your home?
Janis Hoplin was brought into the shelter as a stray. The day after her arrival Janis surprised staff with 3 babies! Janis was a good mother and raised her babies well (they are now bigger than she is!). She has since been spayed and is and now ready to find a home to call her own. Janis is a 1-year-old girl who would love to find a forever home soon.

The market for portable audio is getting bigger thanks to the rising sales of smart devices such as iPhones, laptops and of course tablets. Gone are the days when the in-built speakers were enough for the consumer, now everyone wants to get the best sound possible from their devices. Ultimate Ears have just released their latest speaker, the UE Mini Boom as they throw their hat into the ring but is it any good?
The UE Mini Boom certainly lives up to its name and is a surprisingly tiny speaker. The Bluetooth-enabled speaker can be paired with any device that supports Bluetooth and can stream from up to 50 feet away. Pretty impressive right? Despite its diminutive size, the UE Mini Boom boasts fantastic audio quality from the speakers on either side of the device. The volume can be controlled either through your device or using the buttons located on the top of the speaker. We were pleasantly surprised with just how loud the device can go without losing any audio quality.
Getting set up with the UE Mini Boom is incredibly easy. As long as your device’s Bluetooth is switched on, all you need to do is press the Bluetooth button on top of the speaker to make it discoverable. Once you’ve done that it takes seconds to pair the device before you’re up and running. A free app is available for your device too offering you further information about how to get the best from the speaker as well as enabling you to pair two UE Mini Boom speakers for even better audio.
The UE Mini Boom has an aux socket on the front meaning you can plug your device directly into it if it doesn’t support Bluetooth. There’s also a mini-USB port so you can charge the speaker on the go by simply plugging it into your laptop. Once fully charged the speaker lasts for up to 10 hours which should be perfect for any journey or dinner-party.
Design-wise the UE Mini Boom looks great. It comes in a variety of colours so you can pick one that suits your set-up best. The speaker has a rubber casing making it durable and able to withstand the rough and tumble of being chucked in your bag so you can carry it around. The buttons on the rubber casing are clear so the speaker is definitely intuitive.
The only real complaint we have, and to be honest it’s not all that much of a complaint, is that it would have been nice to have some playback control on the speaker. Aside from the volume you have to go to your device to skip tracks. It would have been a nice touch to be able to do that on the speaker so it’s not essential to keep your device nearby at all times. It’s a small thing but it could have made the UE Mini Boom even better.
There’s not all that much more to say about the UE Mini Boom to be honest. It’s a simple speaker to use and it won’t take long to get set-up. It does what it says on the tin and the sound quality is excellent. What more could you want from a portable Bluetooth speaker? The price is pretty reasonable too so if you’re looking for a perfect portable, and small, speaker than end your search here because it’s perfect.

Ian Poulter will need to call on all his renowned skills in escapology if he is to make it to this year’s Masters.
As the golf world digested the news of Phil Mickelson’s absence from Augusta for the first time since 1994, the Englishman is in a bleak-looking fight to make it via the WGC-Match Play Championship, which begins on Wednesday in .
Poulter will likely need a semi-final berth at least to progress from 67th into the world’s top 50 when the cut-off point to trigger a Masters invite falls on Monday — and the odds on that happening have lengthened considerably given he is in arguably the toughest of the 16 four-man groups.
Englishman Ian Poulter (above) has work to do if he is to make it to this year’s Masters
With only one player from each group progressing to the weekend knockout stages, Poulter has to get past American Scottie Scheffler, twice a winner this year, and two of his Ryder Cup comrades in Tommy Fleetwood and Matt Fitzpatrick.

Swedish-Iranian songstress Ayelle kicked off 2017 with latest single “Issues”. Produced by the Berlin duo BLYNE, “Issues” is yet another confronting track from the London based artist. “Issues” deals with an abusive relationship and the aftermath that follows.
Ayelle is known for speaking her mind in her music. Regarding her track, “Machine;” The Line of Best Fit called it a “blunt takedown of society’s view of women.”
We spoke with Ayelle about the track, the writing process, and her favorite line from “Issues.” Read what she had to say below.
“I wrote ‘Issues’ as a means of coping with a difficult situation. Most people have assumed that it’s about a romantic relationship but it was actually inspired by someone much closer to home.
That being said, it’s a song about dealing with the aftermath of a relationship with an abusive person, and regardless of who that person might be there is a dynamic there which I think anyone who’s been through anything similar can relate to, whether it’s with a partner, family member or friend.
The writing process came about pretty naturally. Berlin duo BLYNE were in London for a week or two and we got together over at Sarm studios for a few sessions where we wrote the track. We started it from scratch, I had something on my mind and there was just a good vibe, so the song just poured out.
Even though the song carries some heavy feelings, there’s still a feel good vibe to it, which is the dichotomy that I enjoyed the most about writing it. There’s a playfulness that supersedes the sadness, which made processing the emotion more bearable.
May favorite line is ‘I may have issues, I may have wanted it to be different’, cause there’s an acceptance of the situation at that point which I think is crucial to moving on. And ultimately, this song represents the final piece of resistance to a situation that has passed, remaining only in the mind as emotional pain that we must learn to let go of.”

This week I present a highly subjective showcase of eight classic music videos where the dancing makes up a major part of the appeal:
8. “Uptown Funk” – Mark Ronson and Bruno Mars
The funky coolness of this monster hit tribute to classic seventies grooves is perfectly captured in the choreography.
7. “Never Catch Me” – Flying Lotus and Kendrick Lamar
6. Weapon of Choice – Fatboy Slim
The first of two Fatboy Slim / Spike Jones collaborations on this list, this video featured oddball cult favorite Christopher Walken indulging a previously unguessed-at passion for dance.
5. Tightrope – Janelle Monae
The Archandroid bursts out of a mental asylum in this playful and stylish video.
4. “Here It Goes Again” – OK Go (above)
The video that made OK Go famous, “Here It Goes Again” is a low-budget, high concept video that ushered in the YouTube era by showing how cleverness, creativity and plain old hard work and practice could produce magic.
3. Single Ladies – Beyonce
Unquestionably one of the most influential dance-oriented music videos ever, Beyonce’s statement of female empowerment is matched by a distinctive dance that is aggressively sensual without a single hint of vulnerability or compromise.
2. “Praise You” – Fatboy Slim
Voted best video of all time by MTV viewers in 2001, this odd, surreal piece of mockumentary filmmaking features director Spike Jonze deeply in character as the head of a dauntless amateur dance troupe. Perhaps best appreciated as an ode to self-expression.
1. Smooth Criminal – Michael Jackson
Any rundown of best dance music videos could be filled entirely with Michael Jackson tracks, but this is my personal favorite, because of the way the background choreography both compliments and elevates Michael’s inimitable brilliance.

UNITED NATIONS (Dec. 19)
U.S. Ambassador John Scali said yesterday that he is optimistic that Secretary of State Henry A. Kissinger’s step-by-step approach will lead to peace in the Middle East. Speaking at a press conference marking the end of the 29th session of the General Assembly, Scali described the Mideast as a “major unsolved problem confronting mankind.”
Referring to the appearance of Palestine Liberation Organization leader Yasir Arafat at the Assembly and the granting of an observer status to the PLO, Scali contended that this did not add “to the atmosphere of compromise and negotiations in the Middle East.” He also cited the appearance of Arafat and the PLO at the United Nations as factors in the eroding support for the UN in the United States. He added that the anti-Israeli resolutions taken by UNESCO did not help the image of the world organization.
Turning to his speech on Dec. 6 in which he attacked the tyranny of the majority at the UN, Scali said that he spoke as a friend of the UN “trying to avert the anti-UN fever” by the American public. He said, however, that he does not believe that the U.S. should walk away from the UN. He said that the U.S. will contribute to all UN programs as in the past.
Scali pointed out that he personally received some 500 letters of support from Americans after his speech. He said that the mail ran 55-1 in favor. He cited the decision by the Security Council to renew the mandate of the UN peacekeeping forces in the Middle East as a contributing factor to peace in the area.
Although the Assembly concluded its three month session it nevertheless decided to keep open the option of reconvening if Mideast developments should warrant. A similar procedure was followed last year and in 1967.

Kansas drivers have to do it every fourth birthday
If you've been driving in Lawrence for the past four years, the chances are good you've been to the National Guard Armory at Second Street and McDonald Drive.
"At least once, anyway," said Kathryn Johnson, who runs the local office of the state's driver's license examination center at the armory. "I get to see everybody in town."
Johnson's office, part of the Kansas Department of Revenue's division of vehicles, is open from 7 a.m. to 5:45 p.m. Tuesday through Friday.
Filled with chairs and school desks, the office gets about 150 to 180 people a day.
"We've had more than 200 people a day on a busy Friday or a Tuesday," Johnson said. "We get beginners, we have students in drivers ed, we have renewals, we have people transferring in from out of state and we issue state ID cards."
Kansas drivers must renew their drivers license once every four years, with the license expiring on their birthday. And to speed up the renewal, the state mails them the paperwork at least 30 days before their license expires.
"It takes about 10 minutes for a renewal if you have your test filled out before you come in," she said. "The state mails you out the renewal forms and you already have that filled out. We check your record, check your eyes, have you sign an application, collect the fees and take your picture."
The state is changing license numbers. Drivers can either get a randomly generated nine-digit number or use their Social Security number.
If they renew, they must take a 36-question, open book test.
Drivers from out of state who want a Kansas drivers license take a 22-question closed book test. Up to four questions can be missed to get a passing grade.
After turning in the test, paying their fees and getting their eye test, drivers wait their turn to get the license.
First they are told to sign a large card with a special stylus, connected a computer screen. Then they are told to sit in a chair in front of a video camera, which projects their image onto the computer screen. The examiner then snaps their picture, and a few minutes later, the license is ready with their photo and signature.
Under the state's new motor voter law, people are asked whether they want to register to vote while renewing their license, she said.

A traumatic brain injury (TBI) suffered in a Central Florida accident can be mild, moderate or severe. In cases of severe TBI after an accident, the victim may become unconscious for a period of time or even experience amnesia (memory loss) as a result.
In more serious cases of traumatic brain injury, a victim is likely to experience some type of long-term effect that will impact their daily lives and recovery process.
Some of the areas that can be impacted by a traumatic brain injury include:
- ability to communicate;
- reasoning capabilities;
- sensory abilities (taste, touch, smell, vision, hearing); and
- personality (a victim of TBI may become depressed, easily agitated, aggressive and so on.)
In addition, a victim of traumatic brain injury becomes vulnerable to an increased risk of later acquiring a cognitive disorder such as epilepsy, Parkinson’s disease, and/or Alzheimer’s disease.
Knowing this, it is clear to see how an injury like TBI can permanently alter a person’s life. If you or a loved one has suffered a traumatic brain injury in a Central Florida accident-such as a car crash, sports accident, motorcycle accident or slip and fall injury-you may require long-term treatment and various types of rehabilitation to address your medical needs.
If this is the case, and someone else’s negligence was responsible for your traumatic brain injury, you may be eligible to file a Florida personal injury claim to seek damages for your medical expenses.
Contacting a Central Florida Brain Injury Lawyer
A Central Florida brain injury lawyer can work with you and your doctors to assess your current and future medical needs related to your brain injury in order to build a claim that will address your comprehensive needs after a TBI.
The personal injury team at Lilly, O’Toole & Brown can work with you to identify all of the at-fault parties in your accident claim. Contact our firm today to schedule your consultation; 863-533-5525.

While he had previously indicated that he would not seek higher political office, and would instead focus on winning reelection to congress, he now seems to be more open to the idea.
"For whatever reason there are people here in the state of Florida that see me as a political entity and they are very trustworthy within the Republican Party structure, I should sit down and talk to them," he said. "But I don't think people are really going to be able to move me."
His comments are a reversal of what he said one week ago in an interview. In an Aug. 9 interview with Sun Sentinel reporters and editors he gave a definitive "no" when asked if there was "any chance" he'd run for the Senate instead of seeking re-election.
"If people want to talk to me about something like that it would be very disrespectful and rude for me to slam the door in their face," West said before he spoke to a Palm Beach CountyTea Party meeting in Palm Beach Gardens. "People have an opportunity to talk to me, but my intentions are very simple, to run as a congressional representative."
He wouldn't disclose who's pushing the idea or what meetings he's had or will have on the subject.
He said he'll make an announcement soon because he thinks the window of opportunity "will close very soon."

Most motorcycle travellers don’t think of staying in luxury hotels, but there’s nothing wrong with spoiling yourself with a bit of five-star luxury every now and then.
That’s exactly what Extreme Bike Tours is offering on their South India Tour next February.
The Indian-based company is throwing in a bonus free night in a five-star resort in tropical Goa for bookings made by November 30, 2015.
Riders and pillions who like their comforts can take in the spices, tea plantations, hill stations, tiger reserves and tropical beaches of southern India on the back of a classic Royal Enfield Desert Storm motorbike while staying each night in a lavish, luxury hotel.
Starting on February 6, 2016, the all-inclusive, 11-day ‘Luxury South India Adventure’ will see riders negotiate a breathtaking, 1000km route from Cochin to Goa. In the saddle for between six and eight hours a day, riders will trace some of India’s quietest roads through vast tea plantations and hill stations, past the spectacular palaces and temples of Mysore and to the jungles of Mudumalai National Park where riders will stay in a safari lodge and search for tigers.
The route ends on the tropical, hippy-frequented beaches of Goa with its colourful markets and cocktail bars.
The 11-night Luxury South India Adventure costs A$7261 (US$5083) per rider or A$6649 (US$3791) for pillion passengers, including luxury hotel accommodation each night, all meals on the tour, fuel and motorbike hire and a domestic flight at the end of the tour from Goa back to Cochin. The guided trips are open to licensed motorcyclists as well as pillion passengers riding on a bike or in the support vehicle.
All new bookings made on this tour before November 30, 2015, will also receive a free, extra, one night’s stay with breakfast at the end of the tour at the five-star Grand Hyatt Goa, which boasts tropical gardens and a seaside frontage.
Tours and fares are subject to availability and conditions apply. Prices do not include flights from Australia.
Extreme Bike Tours offers guided trips in India, the Himalayas, Tibet, Bhutan, Mongolia, and from 2016, Cuba.
It is owned by former Englishman and adrenalin junkie, Zander Combe who owns two original 1991 Royal Enfield 500 Bullet with the kick start and gears on the wrong side. One is his original tour bike.
“We’re called Extreme Bike Tours because of the locations we go to, not the way we ride or anything else,” he says. “Anyone who is a confident rider on a licence can come on our tours. It’s about the location rather than riding around trying to kill ourselves.”

Like to workout in the mornings so you feel smug AF by 9am? The best part is being able to eat a yummy breakfast afterwards. But how do we make sure that we’re refuelling in the best possible way? Check out these post-workout breakfast recommendations from top trainers…
Stephen Pasterino, founder of P.volve and celebrity trainer
“My favourite post-workout breakfast is two eggs with avocado, spinach and onion. Avocado is a healthy fat that has potassium, so it helps prevent any sort of muscle cramping. Eggs are packed with protein and vitamins, and spinach and onion are high in iron. Surprisingly, onions are a superfood, stabilising your blood sugar and providing amazing benefits for the skin, hair and overall health, so try to incorporate onions into meals whenever you can”.
Luke Worthington, human movement and elite performance specialist
“Most mornings I have the same breakfast – four scrambled eggs and half an avocado on two slices of sourdough. As an early riser, a well balanced breakfast with a good amount of protein and healthy fats is key for me, this keeps me going until lunch time. I combine this with a Nespresso and a glass of Innocent greens smoothie for a great pick me up”.
Sarah Lindsay, three time Olympian and owner of ROAR Fitness
“Overnight oats soaked in coconut milk with fruit and vanilla or cinnamon powder is my go-to. Oats aren’t the best form of carbs post workout as they are slow release which is why I add fruit and honey. A faster release carb will replenish glycogen stores quicker and improve recovery. Plus, they take no cooking so are ready when you are”.
Haydn Elliott, head trainer and Owner of F45 Oxford Circus
“My go-to post workout breakfast is definitely three poached eggs, a portion of avocado, smoked salmon, and one piece of brown toast. Poached eggs are a great option as they are high in protein and are also a good source of Vitamin A and zinc, two nutrients which contribute to a robust immune system. Avocado is a great option for a healthy fat as it is low in saturated fat and does not contain any cholesterol or sodium. Smoked salmon is another brilliant source of protein, and contains plenty of omega-3 fatty acids. And last but not least, a slice of brown toast is not only a good source of fibre, but also a slow-releasing carbohydrate which helps me feel fuller for longer”.

Milo Yiannopoulos’s so-called “miserable year or two” just got even more miserable. The former Breitbart editor and alt-right troll, currently facing a reported multi-million dollar debt, has been banned from Patreon.
In fact, the fundraising site nixed his “comeback” campaign after just one day, The Verge reports.
“I’ve had a miserable year or two, banned and de-platformed and censored and blacklisted … and now I need your help,” Yiannopoulos wrote on the now-deleted fundraising page. “I want to get back on my feet and come roaring back in 2019 with the fabulous comedy and insightful, serious commentary that made me famous in the first place.”
He said he wanted to create a weekly late-night talk show to “take back the culture” and claimed he is “one of the most censored and most lied-about people in the world.” He also referenced the aforementioned debt, saying he is a “broke ass hoe.”
“After two years of relentless, dishonest attacks on me by the press, I got roughed up and lost my way,” he concluded. “It’s time to get back on the horse. Will you help me?”
The answer is a resounding no. “Milo Yiannopoulos was removed from Patreon as we don’t allow association with or supporting hate groups on Patreon,” the company tweeted on December 5.
Hi there, thanks for the tweet. Milo Yiannopoulos was removed from Patreon as we don't allow association with or supporting hate groups on Patreon. For more info, please see our Community Guidelines. https://t.co/L7737I1ENi
— Patreon (@Patreon) December 5, 2018
On Instagram, Yiannopoulos posted a screenshot of an email from Patreon, in which the company cited his past association with the Proud Boys, a far-right organization deemed a hate group by the Southern Poverty Law Center. “Your past association with the Proud Boys, though recently disavowed, is a breach of our guidelines,” the email read.
The email also mentioned the amount that had been raised so far, but Yiannopoulos redacted it in the screenshot, perhaps indicating the total was embarrassingly low.
In case you missed previous episodes of the Milo Yiannopoulos trainwreck, the British firebrand was linked to white supremacists through leaked emails, banned from Twitter for inciting online harassment of Saturday Night Live star Leslie Jones, and reportedly pressured to resign from Breitbart after seemingly supporting statutory rape.
Meanwhile, no word on whether Yiannopoulos’s Patreon supporters will receive their “free Milo ringtones” and “elite-tier Milo coffee mug” rewards.


Network Mapped Drive Hyperlinks resolve as UNC in Office Products
After a user inserts a hyperlink to a file residing on a network mapped drive within an Office product, the hyperlink's text displays the network mapped drive path, however the link is resolved as the UNC path.
For example, in Excel if you go to Insert, and then click on Hyperlink the user is prompted to select the file. If the user navigates to a file residing on a Network Mapped Drive, and inserts a hyperlink to that file, the hyperlink will be created to the file via its UNC path instead of its network mapped drive path. After the link has been inserted, the user can then hover over the link and see that the full UNC path has been used when creating the link to the file.
The cause is due to the way Office creates hyperlinks to files. Office products will create links to files using the UNC path and will not use the network mapped drive location, even if it displays it in the hyperlink text.
There is no resolution for this. Microsoft recommends that users insert hyperlinks using the UNC path to prevent confusion in cases where opening a file via UNC or network mapped drive might make a difference in the expected behavior in the file.
An example of where how a file is opened can be found listed in the following article under the section "Scenarios that may cause links to not work as expected."

Starting on January 1, 2022, the No Surprises Act (NSA) protects uninsured or self-pay individuals from any unexpectedly high medical bills. The NSA requires that health care providers give uninsured and self-pay individuals a Good Faith Estimate (GFE) for the cost of their healthcare before the individual agrees to the service. This regulation is designed to provide transparency to you, the client, as well as protect you from surprises when it comes to your medical bills.
In the outpatient psychotherapy setting, there are a number of factors that make it challenging to provide a GFE for mental health treatment. Length of treatment and frequency depends on the individual client and goals in therapy. Additionally, what determines success in treatment is fluid. Some clients attend only until they experience a reduction in symptoms while others continue after a crisis has passed because they find they continue to grow and evolve. At times, clients who are not in crisis may begin to schedule less frequently and may continue to come in occasionally when issues arise. Ultimately, as the client, it is your decision when to stop therapy. It is strongly suggested by Dr. Campbell that if you are ready to move on from therapy you have one final session to wrap up what you have been working on together. It is not often we get to say a healthy goodbye.
Please note, insurance companies require a diagnosis for billing and reimbursement. If you are self-pay, you should know that the NSA requires that Campbell Counseling, LLC provide a diagnosis for each client so that a fee can be assessed for treatment. This diagnosis is tentative until a formal diagnosis can be completed a few sessions after beginning psychotherapy. If you choose to decline a formal diagnosis, we will not update the GFE. It is within your rights to decline a diagnosis per state and federal guidelines.
Campbell Counseling, LLC recognizes that every client’s experience and needs are unique. How long you engage in therapy and how often you attend sessions will be influenced by a number of factors including but not limited to:
- Client schedule
- Therapist availability
- The specific and unique needs of your treatment
- Unforeseen circumstances
- Personal finances
You and Dr. Campbell will continually assess the appropriate frequency of therapy. You will work together to determine when you have met your goals and are ready to discharge. A new GFE may be issued should your frequency or needs change.
According to the American Psychological Association, “on average 15 to 20 sessions are required for 50 percent of patients to recover as indicated by self-reported symptom measures. There are a growing number of specific psychological treatments of moderate duration (e.g., 12 to 16 weekly sessions) that have been scientifically shown to result in clinically significant improvements. In practice, patients and therapists sometimes prefer to continue treatment over longer periods (e.g., 20 to 30 sessions over six months), to achieve more complete symptom remission and to feel confident in the skills needed to maintain treatment gains.”
Your GFE depends on several factors because everyone has unique counseling goals. It takes time to develop a therapeutic relationship with your therapist, identify your treatment goals, establish a plan of action, and work towards accomplishing those goals.
The GFE requires practitioners to provide an exact estimate and not a range. Out of an abundance of caution and transparency, we will only quote weekly appointments for a year (without skipping any weeks for holidays, break, vacation, unplanned events/sickness, etc.).
90791 Intake session ($200) plus 90834 45-minute psychotherapy session ($175) for 51 weeks: $9,125
90791 Intake session ($200) plus 90837 53-minute extended psychotherapy session ($195) for 51 weeks: $10,145
The above example is provided to give an idea of the financial expectations for a calendar year. The frequency and duration are dependent on your individual needs and goals
The appointments you make with Dr. Campbell are at times reserved exclusively for you. If for any reason you need to cancel, please call no later than 24 hours prior to your appointment. If you cannot cancel 24 hours in advance, you will be charged $50 for the missed appointment. If you neither cancel nor appear for your appointment, it is your responsibility to pay the full fee for the missed appointment. These charges are not billable to insurance. If you fail to attend without proper notification two scheduled appointments in a row Campbell Counseling, LLC reserves the right to collect the fee for the missed sessions and discontinue service. Thank you for understanding.
Scheduled sessions begin at your arranged appointment time. Your fee is based on that time period. Session fees cannot be prorated and session timeframes cannot be extended, therefore prompt arrival is in your best interest. Thank you for the consideration.

Sexual dimorphism in the baboon pelvis
MetadataShow full item record
In many sexually dimorphic primate species, the pelvic canal is disproportionately larger in females than in males. Pelvic dimorphism has been attributed to factors such as obstetrics, phylogeny, and hormonal influences. Pelvic size is also correlated with body mass and other skeletal measurements. Larger females have larger babies; therefore, it is predicted that pelvic dimensions should be greater in larger females and more variable in males. This study uses the Bramblett Savanna Baboon Collection, a skeletal collection of wild adult Papio cynocephalus (n=28) with associated body masses to address this question. Body mass is compared with measurements of the pelvis. Since primate skeletal collections with actual body mass associations are rare, linear measurements of the clavicle, humerus, femur, and tibia and high resolution X-ray CT scans of the humeral, femoral, and tibial midshaft are analyzed as potential proxies for body mass within this taxon. This study contributes to the few studies testing correlations between body size and pelvic size. Articular surfaces of long bones and some pelvic measurements are larger when body mass is greater. However in some pelvic measurements traditionally deemed to be related to obstetrics, scaling is separated by sex. The correlations between pelvic size and body size are not significant when single proxies are used unless global skeletal variables (GSV) are applied. Furthermore in females, aspects of femoral cross-sectional morphology show sexual dimorphism and are correlated with iliac width suggesting that the relatively wider hips cause different biomechanical loadings.

In this adaptation of Shakespeare’s sonnets, the La Fratrie ensemble deconstruct Elizabethan aesthetics, while paying homage to the timeless themes of lust, love, and the eternal. A sizable cast is summoned to reproduce the expansive of Shakespeare’s poetry and sound, the depths of desire’s mystery. Nous serons éternels invites audiences to hear canonical poetry in a new light and in a dream-like state where music, dance, and theatre are fused. Through the timelessness of great works of literature and a patchwork of imagery, the audience is led to revisit memories that vulnerability and sensitivity might awaken.

Codename Falconer (Beatles Master Works BMW009 A/B)
Falconer Theater, Copenhagen, Denmark – July 24th, 1991
Disc 1 (53:15): Mean Woman Blues, Be-Bop-A-Lula, We Can Work It Out, San Francisco Bay Blues, Every Night, Here There And Everywhere, That Would Be Something, Down To The River, And I Love Her, She’s A Woman, I Lost My Little Girl, Ain’t No Sunshine, I’ve Just Seen A Face, Hi Heel Sneakers, Good Rockin’ Tonight
Disc 2 (44:55): Twenty Flight Rock, Band On The Run, Ebony And Ivory, I Saw Her Standing There, Coming Up, Get Back, The Long And Winding Road, Ain’t That A Shame, Let It Be, Can’t Buy Me Love, Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band
Inspired by his appearance on MTV Unplugged, Paul McCartney took the show on the road for several intimate performances. It was an interesting and appropriate idea. In a way, this was McCartney coming full circle in his return to the stage by duplicating a tactic he used almost twenty years before by playing small gigs on the university tour in 1972 with Wings.
Copenhagen was the last of six concert on the “Secret Gig” that summer. Codename Falconer seems to utilize two different tape sources. Most of the show is sourced from a fair but distant audience recording which is very noisy. Two songs, “Mean Woman Blues,” “We Can Work It Out,” are in such drastically better sound quality. It could be a soundboard recording or an excellent audience tape. There is a cut in “And I Lover Her” but the show is otherwise complete.
The setlist revolves around the numbers played in the television special. “Mean Woman Blues,” “Be-Bop-A-Lula,” and the Beatles tunes “And I Love Her” and “She’s A Woman” were all included on the program. Some songs were dropped like “Blackbird” and “The Fool” and were replaced by the as-yet-unreleased “Down The By River,” and the Eddie Cochran cover “Twenty Flight Rock.”
McCartney added an electric set for the second half of the show. “Ebony And Ivory” is the most interesting track included for it’s rarity. “Coming Up” is played in hard rock style arrangement, much different than the common disco tinged version.
Paul tells the story of meeting Fat Domino in New Orleans before “Ain’t That A Shame.” The show ends with the same arrangement of “Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band” employed on the Flowers In The Dirt tours of 1989 and 1990, an album which had no contributions on this secret gig tour.
Recollections of this concert , including footage of “Mean Woman Blues,” can be found on the WogBlog. The definitive statement of this era is of course the Unplugged television special and there are several very good releases of both audio and video and it is an essential piece to own. These audience tapes, while not absolutely necessary, are interesting additions to the collection.

Dublin , Ireland
This skirt started life out as a dress that just didnt work for em at all. So with some cutting and nipping and adjustments to the length it made its way into being a skirt instead. I lined this in polyester lining and edged the hem inside with bias binding and hand slip stitched the hem.
Not sure what the fabric is, i bought this in Mood fabrics in NY on my first visit to NY 4 years ago. I wanted to use it to make a dress but the dress didnt work so it got reinvented as a skirt. The top of the dress ended up as a tunic top as i couldnt bear to waste the fabric i loved it so much.

Kim Possible appears in the, This Is Our Year: Series written by F86Sabre53
Kim is still the same as she was in canon.
After the graduation ceremony, she went to live with her boyfriend, Ron Stoppable. While sitting on the couch with him, Ron brought up his concerns about the future and college. Kim then assured Ron that no matter where she goes to school it would be the one he would attend.
The next night, Kim and Ron attended the post-graduation beach party and, after playing a game of volleyball with Wade and Monique, Ron pulled Kim off to the side and proposed to her. She then accepted before she and Ron headed off to the Sloth to begin a sightseeing trip they both decided to go on after the graduation party.
Sometime after taking flight, Kim and Ron both decided to go to Las Vegas and tie the knot.

I first discovered the game of Rummikub when I was 18. My boyfriend, now husband, played the game all of the time with his friends. I started to join in and was hooked from the very first game. Now, every Friday night, my husband and I, along with two of our friends, get together to play a few games of Rummikub.
How to Play
Rummikub is a game played with 2-4 players. The game pieces consist of 106 tiles with the numbers 1-13 on them. The numbers are in 4 different colors: blue, red, orange, and black. There are also 4 playing racks for the tiles and some come with a tile pouch to keep the tiles in. Depending on the edition of the game, different or more pieces may come with the game.
The object of the game is to get rid of all of your tiles and yell, “Rummikub!” before the other people. Sound easy? Think again! This game can get down right nasty!
The game starts with everyone choosing a tile to see who will go first. The person with the highest tile gets to choose their tiles first and it goes to the left from there. Everyone starts off with 14 tiles.
In order to lay down tiles, they have to consist of three of a kind, of different colors, or a run of three or more, of the same color. You can also add tiles to other people's sets and runs once you have laid down tiles. You cannot lay down any tiles until the total of the numbers is 30.
So, let's say that I have three 2's and a run of 1-2-3-4. The total of this is only 16 so I would not be able to lay down any tiles until I acquired more tiles to increase the total to 30. Once I have a total of 30, I can lay down and start to lay down on other people's set and runs. This is were things can get complicated if you are not paying attention.
If you do not have a total of 30 in tiles or cannot lay anything down on your turn, you have to pick a tile. It can take awhile to accumulate 30 in tiles so be prepared to hold down a lot of tiles when the game first starts.
You can move and rearrange tiles that are in play to get rid of your own however, there always has to be at least 3 tiles in a set or a run. If there are more than three, the extra tiles can be moved and used to create new sets and runs. So, let's say that I have a black 2 and 3. There is a black run of 4-5-6-7 in play, then I can take the 4 to use to create my own run and get rid of 2 tiles. There is a time limit of 2 minutes per person, however when I play we do not use a time limit because sometimes the best moves come after sitting and looking at the tiles that are in play and sometimes that takes more than 2 minutes.
There are also 2 tiles that have a smiley face on them and they are wilds. They can be used in any combination of a set or run to complete the move. If someone else has the tile that you used as a wild, they can replace the wild with that tile and can use the wild for their own purposes. Any time tiles that are in play are moved around, all the tiles that are moved have to be played. There cannot be any orphan tiles on the board and they always have to be in at least a set or run of three.
Give It A Go!
The hardest part is trying to get your moves in before other people mess up the tiles that are in play. You could have a tile that you could use in a specific spot, but the other players can mess it up before your turn. It can get quite competitive when everyone is competing for the same tiles!
Rummikub was first developed in Israel by Ephraim Hertzano. He developed the game in the backyard of his home combining the already popular games of rummy, chess, dominoes, and mah-jongg. He began selling the game door-to door. A few years later it was Israel's #1 export game and in 1977 it became the number one best selling game in the United States.

We take a look at why this iconic 80s Lamborghini supercar had to be different from its European and Asian counterparts.
the Lamborghini Countach is a long-standing piece of supercar history, proudly sitting among the Miura and Enzo as some of the finest examples the brand has ever created. Although many supercar enthusiasts and collector car enthusiasts will be able to tell the difference between an American Countach and a European one at first glance, it may not be so obvious to car show enthusiasts – and most big differences may actually surprise you.
The Lamborghini Countach is a must-have for collector cars
Classic car enthusiasts and Lamborghini fans appreciate how important the Countach is to the brand’s deep history and heritage. Regardless of its origin and import history, each example of the Countach is still very valuable in today’s collector car market. Regardless of the differences, these cars still require specialist knowledge for maintenance, repairs and restoration, such as Tyrrell’s classic workshop, which shows the beauty of these cars as he begins to work on two in his workshop.
From the factory, the Countach wasn’t built to meet U.S. EPA standards for import, but that didn’t stop U.S. and Canadian buyers from placing their orders. In its early years, North American buyers would purchase the vehicle from Lamborghini and then individually modify the car to meet import standards. It was not until 1985 that the company began to manufacture cars for the American market from the factory.
US Spec Cars vs. EU Spec Cars
US regulations for vehicles imported from other countries often mean that the cars required modifications in order to bring the cars into the country legally. There are the most obvious differences, such as the side of the road we are driving on, thus changing the driver’s seat of the car from one side of the vehicle to the other, but there is more to what distinguishes the American Countach of Europeans and Asians. specific vehicles.
What sets the American-spec Countach apart
There are several small differences between the European and American versions of the Lamborghini Countach, but the most notable is the difference in engine fuel delivery. In order to meet emissions regulations during the important period, the US version of the car used fuel injection rather than carburetors. Because this resulted in less efficient fuel flow and distribution to the engine, it makes the car slightly less powerful than European spec versions.
Regardless of the small power drop, the American Lamborghini Countach is still a favorite among many collectors, idolized for its iconic ’80s styling and supercar status.
If the Lamborghini Countach everyone loves is so bad, why is it legendary?

Jared Leto has proven himself to be quite the actor over the years, and it looks like one of his next performances will be another shocking addition to his resume. As you can see in the below set photos from the upcoming film House of Gucci, Jared Leto is absolutely unrecognizable. He’s undergone a stunning transformation for the biographical drama, where he’s playing famous fashion designer Paolo Gucci. As part of his transformation, the actor has been given receding grey hair, and an appropriate lavender corduroy suit. Not to mention plenty of prosthetics which have given him a face with wrinkles and extra fat.
It isn’t always unusual for an actor to undergo such a massive transformation for a role. But in Jared Leto’s case, he’s done a very outstanding job. The picture has already received plenty of surprised and impressed reactions on social media. As you can see for yourself down below, there’s no wonder why.
You can also see some of the surprised responses, which include comments like the following:
“Amazing job I should say… I wonder what he thinks abt this transformation tho’ can’t wait to hear from his lips, his thoughts etc… he was thrilled w/Albert Sparma but this one is mind blowing.”
Of course, others are still remaining critical of the appearance and makeup job that Jared Leto had to undergo for the role:
“That’s Robert Duvall. Just hire Robert Duvall.”
Either way you look at it, Jared Leto’s transformation is just a glimpse at a performance that’s sure to be remembered. As for the premise of the new film House of Gucci…
“The story of how Patrizia Reggiani, the ex-wife of Maurizio Gucci, plotted to kill her husband, the grandson of renowned fashion designer Guccio Gucci.”
Aside from the transformative Jared Leto, House of Gucci also stars the equally exciting Lady Gaga and Adam Driver. Audiences can expect the film to be released later this year on November 24, 2021.

MUMBAI/ DELHI: An Alliance Air expat pilot was detained for a few hours by the IAF security personnel in Uttarlai Air Force Station, Rajasthan recently for allegedly taking photographs and videos of the restricted aerodrome using his mobile phone. The pilot was to operate a charter flight to Delhi when he was confronted. The IAF has lodged a formal complaint withthe Directorate General of Civil Aviation
(DGCA), said a source.
The incident occurred on January 9 when Alliance Air charter flight 9I962, with 23 passengers on board the ATR 72-600(VT-AIZ) aircraft, was readying for departure from Uttarlai to Delhi. “Boarding was on when the pilot, a Brazilian national, started taking videos of the air force station. It’s not known ifhe was shooting out of curiosity, as an aviation enthusiast or if there were other reasons. He was caught by the IAF security personnel and detained for questioning,” said a source.
The charter flight was to depart around noon, but with the pilot not available, the aircraft stayed on ground for close to five hours, the source said, adding that the flight finally departed for Delhi late evening.
The source added: "The incident has caused much consternation among the airline officials, especially with Republic Day a few weeks away."
Under the IAF norms laid down for operation of civil flight from its aerodromes, “no aerial/ ground photography from the aircraft is permitted and no sensory equipment is to be carried by passengers in hand bags. ” Civil non-schedule flights (charter flights) with foreign crew members can operate to these IAF air stations only after obtaining clearance from the defence ministry.
For foreign crew members, airlines operating scheduled flights are required to obtain clearance from ministry of home affairs (IB) and ministry of external affairs.
Uttarlai Air Force Station in Barmer, Rajasthan lies close to the country’s border with Pakistan. Given its geographical proximity, the station played a critical role in the Indo-Pakistan war.
An Alliance Air spokesperson said that the pilot concerned has been 'de-rostered pending investigation'.

Australia-based Ugandan cardiologist Aggrey Kiyingi has sued Hello and Kamunye newspapers, accusing them of publishing defamatory statements against him and his wife.
In a suit filed at the High court on October 30, Kiyingi says one of the offending articles claimed that he had fallen out with his wife, Mayimuna Nakayiira Kiyingi, a musician. The story said Nakayiira defied Kiyingi’s order to stop singing, leading to a row.
Kiyingi says this portrayed him as “uncivilised, egocentric, malicious and is not supporting his wife’s music career,” yet he has no career-related disagreement with his wife.
Kiyingi wants a permanent injunction restraining the Pepper Publications and editors of Hello from further publication of libelous material against him. He also wants damages amounting to Shs 25m, with a 35 per cent interest per annum.
Kiyingi married Nakayiira in 2009 at a private ceremony in Nairobi, Kenya. His wedding came four years after the grisly murder of his first wife, Robinah, at their Buziga residence. Kiyingi was prosecuted for the murder but was found innocent.

Psychic T-Shirt - snarky & 100% accurate!
Here's how it works: Psychic T-shirt receives your audio input (in the form of a "yes" or "no" question) then utilizes data from the collective conscious with a complex psychic algorithm to calculate the most appropriate response for your individual query. It's snarky with 100% accuracy!
I have to be real careful about disclosing too much information about the science behind the Psychic T-shirt, because the government has had a surveillance van parked outside of my house for the past few days. I took a picture for the skeptics who think I'm just being paranoid. As you can see by the photo, my poor unicorns were quite startled by the van, since we don't get a lot of traffic in our neighborhood. If this technology gets into the wrong hands, the results could be devastating. But for the sake of my fellow makers and DIY hackers, I will post my secrets and my codes: Super Secret Psychic T-shirt Code
Here is the guide to wire up your 16x2 LCD screen and a tilt sensor (I replaced mine with a tiny pushbutton for the final version). You will also need a small potentiometer and a 220ohm resistor. I drew this in the Fritzing app.
The next step is to make your final permanent circuit board! I recommend this tutorial on how to make arduino on a breadboard.
Here (below) is the circuit, messy, but all on one board with no more arduino board and running on a 9v battery.
Here (below) is the very cleaned up, final circuit!
Once the brain of your Psychic T-Shirt is working properly, you can use velcro to connect the screen to the inside of your shirt, and cut a hole for the screen to be exposed. Use ribbon wire to run down the front of your shirt (hidden inside) and hide the circuit board in a secret pocket, along with your 9v battery.
I screen printed my shirt and added some flashy lights to give it some razzle dazzle! Good luck, and remember... the Psychic T-Shirt is 100% accurate, so don't let it get into the wrong hands!

This simple four ingredient candy recipe for Monster Clusters is very delicious, and so cute when decorated for Halloween. These little treats are made with potato sticks instead of chow mein noodles.
Potato sticks are found in the snack food aisle; the brand I buy is called Pik-Nik. They are little shreds of potato, fried until very crisp. When coated with chocolate, they make a fabulous little candy that is perfect for your party.
Melting chocolate is a fairly easy kitchen task, but it does take some care. There are a few ways to melt chocolate: in the microwave, in a double boiler, or on the stovetop. I think the microwave method is easiest. The double boiler prevents burning, but takes some time. The stovetop method is riskiest, but works well as long as you pay attention to the chocolate as it is melting.
Have your kids help make this cute and simple little recipe. They will love forming the little blobs of crispy chocolate coated sticks, and adding the little candy "eyes" is so fun too. And they are so delicious!
- 1 cup peanut butter chips (or butterscotch chips)
- 1 cup chocolate chips (semi-sweet)
- 2 cups potato sticks
- 48 red-hot candies (or miniature candy-coated chocolate candies)
Microwave method: Combine the peanut butter or butterscotch chips and 3/4 cup of the semisweet chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Microwave on high power for 1 minute; remove and stir. Continue microwaving for 30 second intervals on high, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is melted and smooth. Then stir in the remaining 1/4 cup chips until the mixture is smooth again; this tempers the chocolate so it will be sold at room temperature.
Stovetop method: Combine the peanut butter or butterscotch chips and 3/4 cup of the semisweet chocolate chips in the top of a double boiler or in a heavy small saucepan. Add water to the bottom of the double boiler; put the double boiler over medium heat. Or put the small saucepan over low heat. Melt the mixture until it is smooth. You'll need to stir constantly when melting the mixture in a saucepan. The double boiler doesn't need close watching. Then add the remaining 1/4 cup chips and stir until smooth.
Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir in the potato sticks until well coated.
Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto waxed paper or parchment paper-lined cookie sheets. You make need to form the mixture a bit with your hands so it looks like the picture.
Press candy pieces into clusters to form 'eyes'. Let the little clusters stand until set; you may want to refrigerate them until the chocolate has hardened. Store covered at room temperature.

Brown v. Board of Education
The story of America's struggle toward equality is complex. But in its ideals, America has stood for the principles expressed in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, and the Bill of Rights.
On May 17, 1954, the U.S. Supreme Court in Brown v. Board of Education ruled that the Constitution forbids laws segregating public schools by race. This historic decision opened the doors of opportunity for many Americans. Constitutional Rights Foundation presents a series of online lessons marking the Brown decision.

You don’t need a lot of streaming services to satisfy your TV needs. Most cord cutters use two, sometimes three services and there are specific benefits to each one. We recommend the following services because they provide the most value to cord cutters and they are readily available nationwide. Here are the main services you will likely want and why:
* NetFlix is a must-have, folks. For a very reasonable price you get access to a huge library of movies, TV shows, documentaries and award-winning original content.
With the exception of original content, Netflix does not provide access to new-release movies or current TV shows, they are about a season behind. Netflix also has access to 4K (or UltraHD) content for many of its programs, if you happen to have a 4K-capable TV.
This is all available for about $8 per month, depending on your needs. No contract, cancel at any time.
* Amazon Prime is your option for getting current season Cable shows and new-release movies. If you are not a Prime member, Vudu offers this without a subscription. However, Prime members also get access to a large library of movies, TV shows (including past HBO seasons) and award-winning original content.
There are many other reasons to consider being an Amazon Prime member, including free two-day shipping, a vast free music library, free books from the Kindle library, and unlimited digital photo storage. Yes, unlimited!
$99 per year, paid once per year. View content for free with your subscription, rent or purchase TV and movies.
For cord cutters who are not Amazon Prime members, Vudu is a fantastic service for getting your current season Cable shows and new-release movies. In addition, Vudu has frequent sales for all kinds of movies. At very little cost you will find yourself with a great movie library filled with all of your favorites.
Added bonus: Vudu lets you upload your DVDs to your Vudu library for a small fee. You won’t need a DVD player any more and your movies are safe, secure and accessible from anywhere, on any device, from Vudu’s cloud. No subscription fee, pay only for what you watch.
* Sling TV
Lucky for us in the Twin Cities Sling TV now has Fox North so you can watch all your Twin, Timberwolves and Wild games.
Sling TV is live Cable TV without a contract. Yes, you read that correctly. Sling TV is a small bundle of the most popular Cable channels, including Fox North or ESPN, TNT, TBS, History, AMC, A&E, Food Network, HGTV, Disney Channel, Cartoon Network, Adult Swim, CNN and more. For sports lovers in particular, the combination of your TV antenna with Fox north, ESPN, TNT and TBS from Sling TV is going to get you a lot of great NFL, MLB and NBA content. Sling TV has additional add-on packages and a big On Demand library, too. There’s no contract, so you have nothing to lose by trying it out!
Best of all Sling has its own voice activated streaming device for only $139.00 that includes NETFLIX, over- the- air- tv and Google Apps all in one device.
Sling is only $19.95 per month. No contract, cancel at any time.
You probably noticed that we did not include Hulu in the options above, even though it’s one of the most common streaming services mentioned when people give advice about cord cutting. So why would we leave it out of our recommendations? Here’s our reasoning:
The majority of Hulu content, and indeed the content upon which the service was founded, is current seasons of broadcast TV shows. With Hulu you can view current episodes of broadcast TV shows, with commercials, the day after they air. TV antenna users already have access to this content live, on the day that it airs, can record it on a DVR, skip commercials and don’t have to use up data to stream it. Also, the non-broadcast content on Hulu, except for originals, can usually be found on Amazon or Vudu.
While we recognize that Hulu is evolving as a service, at this time we don’t feel that it provides much added value to TV antenna users. For cord cutters who for some reason cannot use a TV antenna or don’t have access to one, Hulu, at either $8 or $12 per month depending on whether you want a lot of TV commercials in your content or just a few (you can’t skip them), Hulu would be a great service to have.
About Stand-Alone Streaming Services
The services that we have recommended above are what we call aggregate services, meaning they provide content from many different sources and are going to provide cord cutters with the best value. There are lots of what we call stand-alone streaming services, media companies who charge a monthly fee for you to access JUST their content, and more are popping up every day.
CBS has a service called CBS All Access. It’s $6 per month. Antenna users are going to get the same CBS content for free from their TV antenna, in amazing HD quality and without using up data.
HBO Now, for $180 per year ($15 per month) is great if you watch a lot of HBO. But if you watch only a handful of HBO shows you’re going to save money by getting that content from either Vudu or Amazon. The same goes for Showtime.
It will be up to you to determine if any of the stand-alone streaming services are worth your money. There are a lot of choices out there. Are you an anime lover? There’s an all-anime service called Crunchyroll for $7 per month! We couldn’t possibly list all of the choices here, but you will have fun discovering what’s available.
Where do you find all of these options so you can learn more about them? Through a streaming device that we’re going to talk about in the next section.

VBS must be saved, says Yunus Carrim
MP calls the fall of the bank a blow to transformation and diversity in the sector
The chair of parliament’s standing committee on finance, Yunus Carrim, says every attempt should be made to rescue VBS Mutual Bank under a new “effective leadership”.
The committee will in November hold a meeting with law enforcement agencies the Hawks and the National Prosecuting Authority (NPA), as well as regulatory bodies such as the Independent Regulatory Board for Auditors (Irba) and the SA Institute of Chartered Accountants (Saica), in a bid to get to the bottom of one of SA’s biggest banking scandals.
A forensic report released last week‚ titled The Great Bank Heist, details how some of SA’s poorest municipalities and the elderly who had deposited their life savings in VBS lost close to R2bn after their deposits were used to fund the lavish lifestyles of individuals linked to the doomed bank‚ including its largest shareholder‚ Vele Investments. It detailed how internal and external auditors, including those from the embattled firm KPMG, turned a blind eye to the looting spree.
The collapse of VBS is a major setback for diversity and transformation in the financial sector.
This week, finance minister Tito Mboweni said the government will provide more details on how it plans to deal with the fallout from the VBS matter when he delivers the medium-term budget policy statement (MTBPS) next week. However, the minister called for tough action to be taken against those implicated.
On Wednesday, Carrim also urged the Hawks and the NPA to act swiftly and decisively against those alleged to be responsible for wrongdoing. However, he said the bank should be saved.
“The collapse of VBS is a major setback for diversity and transformation in the financial sector,” said Carrim, adding that until the committee is convinced otherwise, its view remains that every attempt should be made to rescue VBS under a new effective leadership.
Carrim also expressed concern that employees of the bank who were not accused of being part of the plunder had lost their jobs. He asked other banks with vacancies to absorb them.
“We need to learn the lessons from the collapse of VBS Mutual Bank to reduce the prospects of this happening in other financial institutions in future. Consideration needs to be given to an inquiry into whether SARB [Reserve Bank], National Treasury, the department of co-operative governance & traditional affairs, the SA Local Government Association and other relevant organs of state could have acted sooner on VBS and reduced the extent of its failures,” Carrim said.
He said with the implementation of the Financial Sector Regulation Act from April 1 this year, the new Prudential Authority now has greater powers to subpoena witnesses and access information to investigate allegations of wrongdoing by financial institutions.
“The committee strongly believes that these greater powers will serve the interests of depositors and policyholders, especially the lower-income depositors and policyholders who disproportionately lose out the most when financial institutions collapse.”
On Tuesday the EFF voiced similar concerns, saying the government should do its best to save the bank.
DA leader Mmusi Maimane said that he would write to the speaker of the National Assembly, Baleka Mbete, requesting an urgent debate in parliament on the VBS scandal.
“The blatant theft of almost R2bn from VBS bank accounts by rich politicians, politically connected business persons and their associates is crime against the poor, vulnerable and elderly in SA. It is a national disgrace, and the DA will not let this become another corruption scandal to be swept under the carpet,” said Maimane.
“While the report implicates a laundry list of ANC public office bearers and elected officials, the role of President Cyril Ramaphosa in the scandal needs parliament’s urgent consideration. If it is true that the president had prior knowledge of the corruption and looting at VBS — and failed to act — he may be criminally liable in terms of section 34(1) of Prevention and Combating of Corrupt Activities Act,” he said.
