Even if each patron only contributes a very small amount each month, it can still be a huge source of income. Take a look at the Patreon page for Kinda Funny, an internet video company. They have over 6,209 patrons which means an average of just $3 a month would be a monthly income of almost $19,000 – plus they get cheerleaders that are always happy to spread the word on their brand.
What the best investors do is create a list of simple rules to guide them so that when things get emotional, they remain on-target long term. It’s important to have your focus on the bigger goal. We can’t control all the events in our lives, but we can control what those events mean to us. The purpose of this Unshakeable by Tony Robbins’ summary is to show you that it’s possible to create passive income through financial investments – like index stocks. I hope you enjoy the video review and be sure to drop a like!
I truly believe generating $10,000 a year online can be done by anybody who is willing to dedicate at least two years to their online endeavors. Here is a snapshot of what a real blogger makes through his website and because of his website. Roughly $150,000 a year is semi-passive income followed by another $186,000 a year in active income found through his site. Check out my guide on how to start your own blog here.
Passive income differs from active income which is defined as any earned income including all the taxable income and wages the earner get from working. Linear active income refers to one constantly needed to stay active to maintain the stream of income, and once an individual chooses to stop working the income will also stop, examples of active income include wages, self-employment income, martial participation in s corp, partnership. portfolio income is derived from investments and includes capital gains, interest, dividends, and royalties.
As a result of this tax rate differential, the owner of a CCPC is almost always better off retaining corporate earnings and investing within their corporation. While a similar amount of combined corporate and personal tax is ultimately paid by business owners when monies are withdrawn through dividends, taxes can be deferred until such time as the money is required personally. This effectively allows business owners to temporarily obtain the benefit of investing a larger amount of money than would otherwise be available if they earned the money personally or immediately withdrew profits from their corporation.
I’ve been into home décor lately and I had to turn to Etsy to find exactly what I wanted. I ended up purchasing digital files of the artwork I wanted printed out! The seller had made a bunch of wall art, digitized, and listed it on Etsy for instant download. There are other popular digital files on Etsy as well such as monthly planners. If you’re into graphic design this could be an amazing passive income idea for you.
In order not to succumb to that, Flynn says it’s important to know your motivation. “Passive income is important to me not just for the financial security but so I can spend time with my family,” he says. “I’ve been able to work from home and witness all my kids’ firsts. I have a one-year-old and a four-year-old, and that's what drives me and gets me pushing through those hard times and why I keep creating new products and why I want to help other people do the same thing.”
Investing is arguably the easiest way to make passive income. The problem is most investments sound good in theory but don’t work out so well in practice. And if you don’t have much experience or access to capital, let alone the time to work it all out, it can seem more or less impossible. However, there is one smart way to invest that just might work. Continue reading >
While reading a very interesting book recently about the conquest of the Northwestern Territory (it’s Ohio, not Oregon for those of you who aren’t history buffs) I realized that the founding fathers of the US were all unabashed capitalists. Washington, Hamilton etc all held title to huge tracts of land West of the Appalachians that they had been speculating in for decades. Forming the US Army (a standing army was a big deal to a people who at the time equated a standing army with tyranny) and conquering the Iroquois was, in at least some respects, about profiting on their investments. While WCI readers probably don’t have any plans to conquer other nations, the real point of all this financial stuff we talk about on this blog is to turn yourself into a capitalist as quickly as possible. While capitalism has its issues, it’s still the best economic system we’ve found yet.
Even if you’re personally liable for the repayment of a borrowed amount or you secure a borrowed amount with property other than property used in the activity, you aren’t considered at risk if you borrowed the money from a person having an interest in the activity or from someone related to a person (other than you) having an interest in the activity. This doesn’t apply to:
Investing in a business: Another good way to generate passive income is to invest in a business --even a small one -- in return for a percentage of the profits - just like Shark Tank, only smaller. Lending $10,000 to a local business that, for example, is working on a mobile app for Apple phones could lead to a passive income-generated share of the profits when that mobile app starts selling like hot cakes.
Three full-time nonowner employees whose services were directly related to the business. A nonowner employee is an employee who doesn’t own more than 5% in value of the outstanding stock of the corporation at any time during the tax year. (The rules for constructive ownership of stock in section 318 of the Internal Revenue Code apply. However, in applying these rules, an owner of 5% or more, rather than 50% or more, of the value of a corporation's stock is considered to own a proportionate share of any stock owned by the corporation.)
Let’s say I am a parttime real estate investor with buy and hold rentals. I have a normal W-2 job but decided for educational purposes to take/pass the state real estate licensing exam. Now if I have an opportunity and want to work on nights/weekends as a real estate agent, does my passive rental income now get taxed (and much higher) as active income? Or does this come down to whether I work +\- 500 hours as an agent?
I love real estate investing, but it requires a lot of upfront capital plus you are going to have to learn to love your tenants (see point 6 below)! Crowdfunded real estate investing gives you a way to still invest in the real estate market, without having to necessarily put in a lot of money upfront. It’s definitely a much more passive investment than owning a flat or a house!
5. Depreciation: Otherwise known as depreciation losses, depreciation tax write-offs are essentially the most important tax deduction in a passive income investor’s arsenal. As their name suggests, depreciation losses permit the owners of rental properties to write off the cost of the home over a predetermined period of time. The subject property is essentially a business expense, and therefore can be written off.
Peer-to-Peer Lending: Earn up to 10% in returns by lending individuals, organizations and small companies who don't qualify for traditional financing through peer-to-peer lending platforms like Lending Club. You can lend $100, $1,000, or more to borrowers who meet lending platform financial standards. Like a bank, you'll earn interest on the loan - often at higher returns than banks usually get.
Well written piece, but I question the core premise. Why the fascination with maximizing “income” (passive or otherwise). Shouldn’t the goal simply be to maximize long-term after tax growth of your entire portfolio? If this takes the form of dividend paying stocks, so be it. But what if small caps are poised to outperform? What if you want to take Buffet’s or Bogle’s advice and just buy a broad market index like the S&P 500, (no matter what the dividend because you’ll just have it automatically reinvested to avoid the transaction fees).
Flynn has created many different products. While his LEED exam is what got him started, he has both earned a commission from selling other people’s products and offered a commission to others who would sell his wares, and also recently created his first software, SmartPodcastPlayer.com, after realizing that most online podcast players offered only the basic stop/start/volume features. He hired a development team to create a superior one, which was a success from day 1. “We sold out 250 beta licenses in less than 24 hours, because I was addressing a need but also, I had built up an audience and trust with them … When you build that amount of trust with your audience, whatever you come out with, they will love.”
Rental properties are defined as passive income with a couple of exceptions. If you’re a real estate professional, any rental income you’re making counts as active income. If you’re "self-renting," meaning that you own a space and are renting it out to a corporation or partnership where you conduct business, that does not constitute passive income unless that lease had been signed before 1988, in which case you’ve been grandfathered into having that income being defined as passive. According to the IRS, "it does not matter whether or not the use is under a lease, a service contract, or some other arrangement."
On the other hand my goals are to invest so I can continue to work a JOB as long as possible, but not depend on income from my JOB. I have some kind of sickness, I like to work and get huge satisfaction from contracting hvac. However I no longer need to work in the ghetto, or take on work to pay the bills, allowing me to pick and chose the projects I like to do.
A great source of passive income is advertising dollars from other businesses and people. If you have a website, blog, or strong social media following, other businesses will start to take notice. A trick I have learned in this space is that it is much less expensive and faster to go where people already are then to try and create it yourself. But, if you create it yourself, then others will come to you. This is how you turn you blog, etc. into passive income. Let’s say your blog has 300,000 visitors a month, that’s quite the following! Other businesses and people looking to advertise a product or service would rather come to you and pay you to have their advertising on your blog. This is less expensive for them since you have already created an audience for them, and great for you since they are paying you for this audience.
If you sell your entire interest in a passive activity through an installment sale to figure the loss for the current year that isn’t limited by the passive activity rules, multiply your overall loss (not including losses allowed in prior years) by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is the gain recognized in the current year, and the denominator is the total gain from the sale minus all gains recognized in prior years.
Venture debt ($12,240 a year): The first venture-debt fund has returned almost all my initial capital, so I decided to invest $200,000 in the second fund. I took a risk investing $150,000 in my friend's first fund, so I'm hoping there's less risk in the second fund, given he has four more years of experience on top of his 12-plus years of experience running a venture-debt portfolio for another company.
I also noticed that in your passive income chart at the bottom that you don’t include your internet income other than sales from your book. Is there a reason for that? Do you not consider is passive because you are actively blogging all the time to create it? Or do you just not want readers to know how much money you generate from blogging activities?
Now I’ve been using Swagbucks for a while and have found the money works out to just under $2 an hour so this isn’t something that’s going to make you rich. You’d have to work 2,500 hours to make $5,000 so that’s about three and a half months, non-stop. The thing with Swagbucks though is you can do it when you’re doing something else so I flip through surveys and other stuff while I’m cooking dinner or flipping channels.

Va. Family Donates Relic to Ford's Theatre
Inside the box at Ford's Theatre where President Abraham Lincoln was assassinated, most of the furnishings are carefully chosen replicas: the heavy gold drapes and tassels, the red, gold and white floral carpet, the presidential rocker.
But last week, the National Park Service got hold of the real thing. A carved-back, cane-seat parlor chair that was in the presidential box the night Lincoln was shot by actor John Wilkes Booth -- perhaps the one Mary Todd Lincoln was sitting in -- was donated to the government by a Virginia family that had kept the artifact for 140 years.
"This is a fabulous thing we've been given. We're very excited about it," said Gloria Swift, the Park Service's curator for Ford's Theatre.
After the assassination darkened the theater in 1865, the government bought the structure on 10th Street NW and turned it into a three-story office building. One of the workers dismantling the theater claimed that his boss had told him to take anything he wanted out of the presidential box. He removed the parlor chair and gave it to the Virginia family, where it was handed down for generations, Swift said.
The family, which Swift said has asked to remain anonymous, tried to sell the chair to the Park Service in the 1950s, when the theater box was being reconditioned as a historic site. But the agency didn't have the cash to buy it and made a replica instead, Swift said.
The current matriarch of the family told the Park Service recently that ownership of the chair was weighing on her.
"All her friends told her she is crazy, that she should sell it on eBay," Swift said. "But she said that giving it to us felt like the right thing to do."

NCW Not to Pursue Rape Complaint Against Arunachal CM, He Says He Is Vindicated
NCW tells woman to go to court
ITANAGAR: The National Commission for Women (NCW) will not be pursuing the complaint filed by a woman alleging that Arunachal Pradesh chief minister Pema Khandu along with three others had raped her in Tawang in July 2008, and instead recommended that the woman take the court route.
The woman had last week filed a complaint with the NCW about the alleged gang-rape. On February 20, the NCW wrote to the woman stating that “keeping in view the fact that the Court of the Chief Judicial Magistrate (CJM), Capital Complex at Yupia, had already decided the case on 30 May 2016 and concluded that in the light of the entirety of the facts as summarised in the aforesaid order, the complaint filed under Section 156(3) of the Criminal procedure code is devoid of any merit and complainant is not entitled for the orders as prayed for”.
While the NCW said that it “does not have the mandate to entertain such a complaint after a decision on merit by the chief judicial magistrate” and that the “the remedy, in the event of a matter having been adjudicated upon by the judicial authority would be to file an appeal in the superior court”.
Khandu, meanwhile, said that he was “shocked and saddened by these false allegations” and that the allegations are “politically-motivated”.
A statement from the chief minister’s office said that the NCW’s decision “to refuse to entertain the complainant’s appeal is a blatant blow to malicious attempts by elements bent on maligning the image of a person through false allegations” and that “every sensible person should reject and condemn such lowly acts of dirty politics”.
The statement said that the woman had “first lodged a complaint in December 2015, seven years after the alleged crime. The present chief minister was just a common man minding his own business in 2008 when the alleged incident is claimed to have occurred”.
It added that “the Itanagar police immediately made a preliminary enquiry on receipt of the complaint. The complainant then approached the CJM” which had dismissed the case.
“The entire episode at this moment is in public domain for scrutiny and the CMO believes that citizens of the state can now clearly see through the conspiracy being hatched against the chief minister who is growing in popularity by the day for his strict and bold decisions to streamline governance and root out corruption,” the statement added.
Meanwhile, the woman had earlier spoken to the media and compared her scenario with the Nirbhaya rape case of 2012 and said that she too is an “Indian daughter” seeking justice.

The term "#chickfila" was a top Twitter's Trend List Wednesday, as supporters of the fast food chain turned out in droves across the nation to scoop up chicken sandwiches and waffle fries in what has turned out to be a battle over the freedom of speech, religious expression and traditional marriage.
Former GOP presidential nominee and evangelical Christian Mike Huckabee declared two weeks ago that today, Aug. 1, would be "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day." The former Arkansas governor sought to rally support for Chick-fil-A owner Dan Cathy, who received severe backlash for confession that he's "guilty as charged" when it comes to being a proponent of biblical marriage.
"I ask you to join me in speaking out on Wednesday, August 1 'Chick fil-A Appreciation Day.' No one is being asked to make signs, speeches, or openly demonstrate. The goal is simple: Let's affirm a business that operates on Christian principles and whose executives are willing to take a stand for the Godly values we espouse by simply showing up and eating at Chick fil-A on Wednesday, August 1," Huckabee wrote on his oficial website.
Although not all independently-owned Chick-fil-A's agree with Cathy's faith beliefs, Americans have turned out to show support -- Rain or shine, traffic jams or long lines, as photos and videos shared online reveal.
Brandon Marlow, a Florida native who is a "Christ follower and youth leader" and "loves Chick-fil-A," shared a composite photo of consumer turnout at a Chick-fil-A restaurant:
Lawmakers also joined in Wednesday, as Rep. Jeff Duncan (@RepJeffDuncan) of South Carolina's Third Congressional District revealed. The Republican politician, who desribes himself as a "Christian, husband, father, former small business owner," sharied a photo with followers on Twitter of what he and his staff had for lunch.
Another lawmaker, Florida Congressman Rep. Dennis Ross (@RepDennisRoss) also tweeted a photo, writing: "Celebrated the 1st Amendment today in the DC office."
When Twitter user "lifedictionary" posted the following image to his Instagram account with the caption "Please help me understand #ChickFilA," a debate ensued among users, reflecting much of what has been said in the national discourse concering the subject.
"Most valid point on this whole discussion that I've heard!" said Twitter user "simplyconnie" in reaction to the image.
Others chimed in, noting that Chick-fil-A doesn't discriminate against gay and lesbian customers or ban homosexuals from eating their food.
Another commenter said its was upsetting when people "think [you're] being 'homophobic' or racist just because you don't share their point of view on homosexuality."
Twitter user "lindenhill," retorted, saying that as long as Chick-fil-A's corporate owner chooses to support organizations that fight to protect traditional marriage, the company was indeed discriminating against homosexuals.
"The point is not having your beliefs. The point is actions and words not matching. Don't say you are not discriminating when the money you donates clearly goes to causes that do. That is the issue. Yes, believe what you want. But don't be a hypocrite," wrote "lindenhill."
According to Mike Huckabee, the "Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day" campaign was "not being launched by the Chick fil-A company and no one from the company or family is involved in proposing or promoting it."

A Midsummer Night's Dream
Wordsworth Editions, 1992 - 83 sidor
Edited, Introduced and Annotated by Cedric Watts, Professor of English Literature, University of Sussex. The Wordsworth Classics' Shakespeare Series, with 'Romeo and Juliet', 'Henry V' and 'The Merchant of Venice' as its inaugural volumes, presents a newly-edited sequence of William Shakespeare's works. The textual editing takes account of recent scholarship while giving the material a careful reappraisal. Its lyricism, comedy (both broad and subtle) and magical transformations have long made 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' one of the most popular of Shakespeare's works. The supernatural and the mundane, the illusory and the substantial, are all shimmeringly blended. Love is treated as tragic, poignant, absurd and farcical. 'Lord, what fools these mortals be!', jeers Robin Goodfellow; but the joke may be on him and on his master Oberon when Bottom the weaver, his head transformed into that of an ass, is embraced by the voluptuously amorous Titania. Recent stage-productions of 'A Midsummer Night's Dream' have emphasised the enchanting, spectacular, ambiguous and erotically joyous aspects of this magical drama which culminates in a multiple celebration of marriage. AUTHOR: William Shakespeare (1564-1616) needs little introduction. As we approach the four-hundredth anniversary of his death, his reputation as one of the greatest writers in the English language is undeniable - except by those who attribute his works to other writers.

A Shorten Labor Government will address the ongoing problems associated with the availability of aged care in a range of ways including working with the aged care sector and unions to ensure we can meet the challenges of the increasing need for aged care workers, as well as career progression and conditions for this low paid and predominantly female workforce.
As well as conducting an independent review of the LLLB reforms with a view to moving to greater flexibility, choice and consumer control by July 1, 2017, Labor has a particular focus on the Aged Care Funding Instrument, following concerns raised by the sector and growing costs in this area. government help elderly Australians remain in work until that age? A Shorten Labor Government will not increase the pension age to 70.
In 2014, the Liberals announced that they would increase the pension age to 70 - giving Australia the oldest pension age in the developed world.
This change will hurt low income workers, blue collar workers, farmers and many women.
Labor has steadfastly opposed this change to the pension age since it was introduced in 2014, and we will continue to do so. Are the current concessions available to seniors (travel, health etc) and Age Pension payments sufficient, or would you like to see some kind of reform to either?

Genetic landscape of substance use and psychopathology
Family and gene-mapping studies have revealed that behavioral phenotypes are heritable, genetically correlated, and influenced by a large number of genetic variants each having small effect size. Despite this, the potential variability in heritability, genetic correlation, polygenicity, and the natural selection signals across a wide spectrum of behavioral domains has not been fully characterized. I will present a program of research meant to understand and characterize specific genetic risk loci associated with psychopathology, as well as the genetic architecture and structure, of psychopathology. We conducted a genome-wide association study (GWAS) meta-analysis of nicotine and alcohol use in up to 1.2 million individuals, discovering >400 genomic locations robustly associated with these addictive behaviors. We then jointly analyzed these results with summary statistics from well-powered GWAS (N ranging from 50,000 to 1.2 million) for 12* phenotypes related to psychopathology including risk-taking, major depressive disorder, neuroticism, schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and cognitive ability. We discovered >300 genomic locations that showed evidence of pleiotropy with 2 or more phenotypes, and will present for discussion highly pleiotropic locations with biologically plausible risk genes for these conditions. We also evaluated heritability and genetic correlations among these phenotypes using genome-wide techniques (e.g., LD Score Regression), which resulted in a factor structure similar to that observed for phenotypic correlation matrices of these conditions, consistent with recent continuum conceptualizations of mental illness. The results are an important first step in characterizing the pleiotropic nature of genetic risk for mental illness at not only the genome-wide level, but also for individual genomic loci and specific genes.
*The list will be significantly expanded by the September meeting in Buffalo.

Islamabad: Her name literally means “grief stricken,” but Malala Yousufzai became a symbol of resistance to extremism when she was only 11-years old – a role that eventually endangered her life.
Malala embarked on her risky mission by blogging for BBC Online, adopting the pen name Gul Makai after a popular Pashtun folklore heroine. This was when the Taliban seized control of the Swat Valley in 2009, turning the tourist paradise into a cauldron of repression.
Malala’s diary entries on the BBC — which highlighted atrocities, the denial of women’s right to education and blowing up a chain of schools in the region by extremist groups — rapidly attracted international attention.
In May 2009, the Pakistan army, backed by a national consensus on resolute action against the threat to national security, thrust into Swat and regained control. From Mingora, Malala then wrote: “I had a terrible dream. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. I was afraid going to school because the Taliban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools.”
Malala’s true identity emerged when the international children’s advocacy group KidsRights Foundation nominated her for the International Children’s Peace Prize, making her the first Pakistani girl to be nominated for the award. For her courageous and outstanding services for the promotion of peace under extremely hostile conditions, Malala was awarded the first National Peace Award by the Pakistan government in December 2011.
Malala also wanted to form a political party focused on education, and her contribution to the cause of female education and women’s rights is widely acclaimed globally. The teenage rights crusader recently told a TV channel: “My role and struggle is beyond personal fame and achievement. I will be happy when every girl in this land gets formal education. I will not sit with ease until all girls receive education.”
On Friday, Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf, who visited Malala’s family at a heavily guarded military hospital in Rawalpindi, told reporters that the Taliban targeted her because “they were scared of the power of her vision.”
“She is the true face of Pakistan,” he said.

In Wednesday's editions of The Washington Post, Redskin coach George Allen's annual salary was incorrectly printed as $175,000. Allen's actual annual salary is $125,000.
There are reports circulating throughout the National Football League that the Detroit Lions would like to replace interim coach Tommy Hudspeth with Chuck Knox of the Los Angeles Rams.
Lions' president, Bill Ford, is expected to make a decision regarding his coach within 10 days.
This, despite denials by Knox that he is contemplating such a move, and by the Rams as to whether the Lions have asked permission to talk with Knox.
There are also reports that the Lions are interested in George Allen of the Redskins. Allen, who still have a year left on his seven-year contract with the Redskins, wants to renegotiate his pact.
The Redskins have made the playoffs in five of the six years since Allen became the head coach.
Redskin president Edward Bennett Williams said recently he saw no obstacles to signing Allen to a new contract. Allen, who earns $175,000 annually, has referred all questions regarding his status to Williams.
To those who might wonder why Knox would consider leaving a successful organization such as the Rams and the Los Angeles climate that is appealing to players, for a struggling franchise in an area lacking such charms, Detroit boosters have some answers.
They contend the Lions have been even more successful, financially, having led the National Football League in attendance for the second straight season since moving into new Pontiac Stadium, with a seating capacity of 80,638, under a fiberglass roof.
The implication there is that the Lions can afford to upgrade Knox's contract and pay players well, too, with such revenue, not to mention the personal resources of owner Ford of the automotive family.
At Los Angeles, Carroll Rosenbloom is an owner with a reputation for knowing all facets of pro football. The Rams already have one of the best general managers in the league, Don Klosterman, and Rosebloom's son, Steve, now 32, has learned the game from the ground up.
Knox has several years remaining on a renewed contract, and unless Rosenbloom lets him out of that obligation, he could be stymied. Rosenbloom may have a special interest since he took a chance and raised Knox from as assistant to a head coach.
It is National Football League policy to urge a club to let a coach better himself if it is demonstrable that such a move is not merely a lateral one.
Of course, if Knox were offered a promotion to general manager, along with a head coach's job, the league likely would favor his being let out of his contract, as it did with Vince Lombardi.
Lombardi had stepped down as head coach for a season at Green Bay and was only general manager when the Redskins offered to make him a stockholder as a well as head coach and an executive vice president.
The Rams already have given permission to Leeman Bennett, who calls the signals for their quarterbacks to be interviewed for the head coaching job at Atlanta. Bennett was the only assistant form the Lion staff that Knox hired at Los Angeles.
Allen's name entered the picture at Detroit because he is a native of the city and, of course, because he is seeking an improved contract from the Redskins.
Since Allen came to Washington, college coaches such as Dick Vermeil at Philadelphia, Chuck Fairbanks at New England and John McKay at Tampa Bay reportedly have received much more remunerative contracts. Vermeil, unlike the others, is not a general manager.
The negotiations of Joe Thomas, recently fired as vice president and general manager of the Colts, disclosed that he was offered more for those jobs than Allen repordely signed for as vice president, general manager and head coach of the Redskins.
Even if Allen and Williams reached an impasse, Allen could not change teams without Redskin permission since he still has that a year left on his contract.
But if Allen was able to form a group and buy a club of his own, that would upgrade his status enough to seek help from the league in getting out of his contract.
Because Allen has retained a handsome house in Palos Verdes, Calif., it has prompted rumors that if Knox left the Rams for Detroit, Allen and Rams might again get together.


The propagation of a cosh-Gaussian beam through an arbitrary ABCD optical system in turbulent atmosphere has been investigated. The analytical expressions for the average intensity at any receiver plane are obtained. As an elementary example, the average intensity and its radius at the image plane of a cosh-Gaussian beam through a thin lens are studied. To show the effects of a lens on the average intensity and the intensity radius of the laser beam in turbulent atmosphere, the properties of a collimated cosh-Gaussian beam and a focused cosh-Gaussian beam for direct propagation in turbulent atmosphere are studied and numerically calculated. The average intensity profiles of a cosh-Gaussian beam through a lens can have a shape similar to that of the initial beam for a longer propagation distance than that of a collimated cosh-Gaussian beam for direct propagation. With the increment in the propagation distance, the average intensity radius at the image plane of a cosh-Gaussian beam through a thin lens will be smaller than that at the focal plane of a focused cosh-Gaussian beam for direct propagation. Meanwhile, the intensity distributions at the image plane of a cosh-Gaussian beam through a lens with different w
0 and Ω0 are also studied.

Dodge unveiled its 2013 Sprint Cup car at Las Vegas Motor Speedway on Sunday.
You could race in, you could crash out. You could buy in or cash out. It was another fine day of qualifying Duels at Daytona.
There are 39 drivers for whom Thursday's Daytona qualifying Duel races hold no real drama. They are in Sunday's Daytona 500. For the 10 that remain, it's no holds barred.
Sprint Cup driver Robby Gordon was placed on indefinite probation Saturday by NASCAR because of an altercation he had with driver Kevin Conway in the garage area Friday evening.
Kevin Harvick won, Robby Gordon finished first, Patrick Carpentier was really second and all three performed celebratory burnouts. Confused? You should be, writes Terry Blount.
A real road-course master came through with a stunning victory in Sonoma, writes Terry Blount. Juan Pablo Montoya won his first Nextel Cup race on Sunday, demonstrating his skill -- and decision to come to NASCAR -- was not wasted.

It is difficult to imagine what our father, the film-maker Carl Foreman, would have made of the honorary Oscar awarded to Elia Kazan this week. The Hollywood director had been a whistle-blower during the McCarthy witch-hunt of the 1950s. Carl Foreman was among those whose careers were damaged during this zealous hunt for reds under the bed.
Kazan’s “Lifetime Achievement” award has revived a painful debate about one of the most shameful periods in American history. The issue of the blacklist remains utterly unresolved in the US. For the past few weeks, right-wingers have been queuing up not only to defend Kazan for doing his “patriotic duty” but to insist that they themselves, faced with the Red Menace and Stalin’s stooges, would have done the same. Liberals, meanwhile, protested against the award in a flurry of newspaper articles (including full-page advertisements in the Hollywood Reporter) and broadcasts.
A sensible person’s guide to the Hollywood blacklist would be prefaced by a statement making it clear that – despite the hyperbole you sometimes hear – it wasn’t the most terrible thing ever to happen in America and it certainly was not the equivalent of the Gulag. But given American traditions of political and artistic freedom, what happened was atrocious and did offer a frightening parallel to repression in Eastern Europe.
Elia Kazan occupies a peculiar place in the history of the blacklist. Because of his prestige – he was at the time the most prominent artist to go before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) – Kazan’s co-operation with Senator Joe McCarthy was a vital endorsement of the committee’s career-destroying activities. The actor Larry Parks literally fell on his knees before the committee and begged not to be forced to testify. He eventually did so in tears, only to find that he was blacklisted anyway. But unlike those who crumpled because they had families to support and couldn’t face the loss of their livelihood, Kazan didn’t have to name names.
As one of the most successful theatre directors in New York, Kazan could easily have returned to Broadway (always untouched by the Red Scare) and waited for things to blow over. Instead, he bought a passport to Hollywood success by ruining the lives of others – ensuring that they were out of the running for the kind of lifetime achievement award he was given on Sunday night. Kazan claimed to have been motivated by political principle rather than base careerism when he named names before the committee. Yet as a former communist he knew as well as anyone that the vast majority of the hundreds of thousands of Americans who passed through the American Communist Party in the thirties and forties had no contact with Soviet agents and could not in any valid sense be said to be members of a vast conspiracy.
No one would deny that the officers of the party were Stalinist lapdogs. But it was obvious to everyone, except the sort of primitive for whom “commie” was a mere synonym for evil, that the communists and ex-communists identified by the committee (all of whom were well-known to the zealous agents of J Edgar Hoover’s FBI) represented no threat to the safety of the republic. Yes, the Korean war had just begun and yes, a democratic government had recently fallen to pro-Soviet communists in Czechoslovakia, but there was no reason for even the most paranoid red hunter to assume that movie folk – of all people – were the shock troops of the revolution.
Kazan certainly knew that the whole HUAC process was a sham. Had he really believed that his revelations could help the government protect ordinary Americans from agents of a foreign power, he would not have taken such care to name only those who had been named before. He knew that hearings before HUAC had nothing to do with getting dangerous subversives out into the open, and everything to do with a ritual of purity designed to humiliate progressives.
Carl Foreman was typical of the 500 or so victims of the Hollywood blacklist. A second world war veteran, he was a second-generation American who had briefly flirted with communism in his youth. In 1951, just after completing his script for High Noon, he was summoned to appear before the committee. He admitted freely to his membership of the Communist Party, but explained that his disillusionment with Stalin’s policies had caused him to leave the party in the forties. Expressing regret for one’s former views was never enough for HUAC, however. True loyalty could only be established by co-operation with the committee – by naming names – even if they had already been named before. For a working-class boy from Chicago, becoming a “rat” was not an option: when pressed to name others whom he knew to be current or former members of the Communist Party, our father, unlike Kazan, refused. He was immediately blacklisted by the studio cartel. For six years, between 1952 and 1958, he could not get any work unless he wrote anonymously or under a pseudonymm – and then for vastly reduced fees.
In 1953, when it looked as if he would never work in movies again, he went into an English exile. He was allowed to stay in England by a Tory government that remained completely untouched by the paranoia that gripped the United States.
When Winston Churchill asked him, in the early sixties, to write a movie based on his autobiography My Early Life, Foreman reminded him that he had been blacklisted in Hollywood. Churchill replied: “Oh, I know all about you. But we don’t like political blacklists in England. And speaking for myself, I don’t care what a man believed in when he was a boy. My concern is whether or not he can do the job.”
The British government’s calmness before the Red Threat continues to mystify American conservatives. Indeed, some point to the Cambridge spy ring as proof that Britain paid dearly for its tolerance.
Although he became extremely fond of his adopted country – he served as governor of the British Film Institute from 1965 to 1971, and was awarded a CBE in 1970 – our father never ceased to consider himself an American, and never gave up his US citizenship. Far from being the treacherous subversive the McCarthyites had cast him as, he was outraged by any unpatriotic sentiment. Indeed, he was appalled by Jane Fonda’s visit to Hanoi during the Vietnam war.
It is just possible that someday someone will write a revisionist history of the McCarthy era, explaining the “good” that came out of the ritual denunciations of communist, ex-communist or “fellow-travelling” artists. Films like Carl Foreman’s Champion or Cyrano de Bergerac will be shown to contain secret radical messages that somehow got past the producers, the studio, the critics . . . and the audience.
Thankfully, this revisionism has not begun. Indeed, despite the noisy cheerleading from the American right, some of the injustices of the McCarthy era are slowly being reversed. In 1984 the Academy recognised the Oscar awarded to the French-speaking Pierre Boulle for “his” screenplay The Bridge on the River Kwai as rightfully belonging to Carl Foreman and Michael Wilson. A few months ago, the Writers’ Guild of America unanimously voted to change the writing credits of 23 films made during the blacklist period.
Finally the real writers of An Affair to Remember, Cry, the Beloved Country, and Ivanhoe will have their names restored to their work. (Among the pseudonyms on the list was “Derek Frye”, the writer of the 1957 film The Sleeping Tiger, which was really a partnership between Harold Buchman and Carl Foreman.)
Recognition has come too late for many. But it goes some way to making up for the honorary Oscar awarded to Elia Kazan. He can have his achievements as long as those he stepped on can have theirs, too.


HICKORY FLAT • Hickory Flat Police Department and Benton County Sheriff's Department have arrested two brothers and another man for a murder that occurred in Hickory Flat over two years ago, according to Benton County Sheriff Robby Goolsby.

Once Mom was out of the hospital, she would frequently call me distressed over the state of the world. I’d tell her to change to the cooking channel. “But I have to know what is happening,” she’d argue.
“You really need to eat better. You need to take care of your mental health and half the news is simply manipulating you.” I’d answer. My words fell on deaf ears. I suspected Mom was addicted to the adrenalin boost she got from watching the news. Logic and reasoning failed to help her.
I finally used my professional skills and changed my approach with Mom. I’d say, “Did the firemen arrive? Are they using helicopters or airplanes to fight that fire? Did those people make it to a shelter?”
My change of focus dramatically changed Mom’s mental health. Despite being over ninety, stubborn, a huge drama queen, and prone to depression, Mom started looking for the helpers in times of tragedy. Once her focus changed, she saw that she could do things to help. If people from her church brought her yarn, she could crochet squares for blankets to send to those in need. She started hand-sewing quilt squares. She was still making quilt tops after she went into hospice care.
I won’t say we don’t have troubles in this world, we do. However, how you deal with the troubles becomes a matter of caring for your own mental health, and as Mom learned, you can be a helper.
Everyday, I encounter many people distressed over fires, hurricanes, and random violence. I find myself saying, “Yes, the gunman was evil, but look how many people risked their own life to save others. Look at the hundreds willing to lay down their lives for others. The good far outweighs the evil.”
As I keep telling the story of the school kid who started a campaign at his school to make hygiene kits to send to refugees, I feel stronger. I know I am on to something effective as I discipline myself to use the skills I learned in counseling classes to focus on the constructive aspects of any situation. There is power in focusing on the helpers and those who will risk their lives to help others.
There is a vast difference between focusing on the helpers in any situation and pretending we don’t have troubles. We do have troubles, but we also have people who are willing to stop what they are doing and stand up to those troubles.
Yes, the political response to the hurricanes in Puerto Rico, left much to be desired. Did you see how the local people handled the problem? Did you see how many people turned their own private home into a shelter for their neighbors? Have you seen the pictures of the local men out clearing roads? In Houston, did you see the pictures of people towing their boats toward the city to help with evacuations?
The political figures and the media want our attention. Our attention gives their lives meaning and power. I would much prefer to give meaning to the common person, who goes out and pulls tree limbs out of the road by his house. I prefer to give power to the high school kid who organizes his school and community to send thousands of hygiene kits to evacuees. You know, that school kid has more power than the media person who sits in front of a camera and talks about his opinion without really doing anything to help those in need.
Yes, tragedy is part of the human condition. How we respond to that tragedy is our choice. We can become a helper by donating money or by organizing an effort to send supplies to those in need. We can respond to tragedy by reminding others that the good people in this world vastly outnumber the evil. We the common people can have more power than the power elite when we focus on the helpers, encourage others, and wherever possible become a helper ourselves. We have great power because when we work together, there are more of us than there are evil people. Together, we are even stronger than the hurricanes.

Data from: A novel integrative method for measuring body condition in ecological studies based on physiological dysregulation
Cite this dataset
Milot, Emmanuel et al. (2014). Data from: A novel integrative method for measuring body condition in ecological studies based on physiological dysregulation [Dataset]. Dryad. https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.mf0ns
1. The body condition of free-ranging animals affects their response to stress, decisions, ability to fulfil vital needs and, ultimately, fitness. However, this key attribute in ecology remains difficult to assess, and there is a clear need for more integrative measures than the common univariate proxies. 2. We propose a systems biology approach that positions individuals along a gradient from a ‘normal/optimal’ to ‘abnormal/suboptimal’ physiological state based on Mahalanobis distance computed from physiological biomarkers. We previously demonstrated the validity of this approach for studying ageing in humans; here, we illustrate its broad potential for ecological studies. 3. As an example, we used biomarker data on shorebirds and found that birds with an abnormal condition had a lower maximal thermogenic capacity and higher scores of inflammation, with important implications for their ecology and health. Moreover, Mahalanobis distance captured a signal of condition not detected by the individual biomarkers. 4. Overall, our results on birds and humans show that individuals with abnormal physiologies are indeed in worse condition. Moreover, our approach appears not to be particularly sensitive to which set of biomarkers is used to assess condition. Consequently, it could be applied easily to existing ecological data sets. 5. Our approach provides a general, powerful way to measure condition that helps resolve confusion as to how to deal with complex interactions and interdependence among multiple physiological and condition measures. It can be applied directly to topics such as the effect of environmental quality on body condition, risks of health outcomes, mechanisms of adaptive phenotypic plasticity, and mechanisms behind long-term processes such as senescence.

Larry Gore gives city election another shot (w/photo)
Published 5:30 am, Monday, March 17, 2008
With his mind set on keeping Katy's families and heritage first, local businessman and outdoorsman Larry Gore said he wants to give city council another try after last year's close race. The election is May 10.
"I came real close last year and that was a major factor in my deciding to run again," said Gore, 47. "I have the will and I feel like we need people up there (on council) that have the will to do the things that need to be done to keep this a family community."
Only nine votes separated Gore and Hughes, who led the race with 329 votes. Since neither received 50 percent of the vote, the men faced each other in a June runoff, which Hughes won by 29 votes.
This year, Gore is vying for the Ward B seat being vacated by Mayor Pro Tem Steve Pierson, but faces a different yet familiar opponent — Durran Dowdle, an electrical parts salesman who ran last year for the at-large council seat. He lost to Councilman Hank Schmidt.
Pierson cannot seek re-election because of term limits.
Gore said issues that he is passionate about, including maintaining public safety and preserving Katy's heritage, need to be addressed and he's hoping to make a difference.
One of his priorities as councilman, Gore said, would be to ensure that police, fire and emergency medical services have the necessary resources so the city remains a safe place for children and families to live.
A Fort Bend County resident, he has served as board member and now president of the Fort Bend County Levy Improvement District 12, which has appraised property valued at more than $600 million.
With interests in hunting, wildlife and land conservancy, Gore is one of the founding members of the Katy Prairie Conservancy. He served as a board member for 10 years and now is on the advisory board.
"I think that I've got the business experience, I've been in a leadership role in a lot of things that I've done, and I also have the political experience," he said.
A resident of Katy for more than 30 years, Gore managed a farm, owned a restaurant and now owns the hunting club Eagle Lake and Katy Prairie Outfitters in the same shopping center as Midway Food Market.
Gore started his hunting business in 1977 as a co-op project while attending Dulles High School, from which he graduated in 1978. He operated his business out of local stores in Katy until he purchased a storefront at the Midway Shopping Center in 1981.
Herman Meyer, owner of Midway Food Market, said he has known Gore for a long time and thinks he would be a good city councilman.
"He's very interested in keeping Katy like it is — growing but not just going crazy," said Meyer, who has owned his food market for 41 years. "He's a level-headed fellow who has a lot of good ideas and I think he'll give it his best."
He is also a board member of the Katy American Little League and is a league coach. He is married to Laura and they have two sons, Isaac and Joseph.

Alzheimer’s illness is related to a discount of insulin receptors in mind microvessels, which can contribute to mind insulin resistance and the formation of amyloid plaques, one of many illness’s hallmarks. That is in line with a examine revealed as we speak in scientific journal Mind by a group from Université Laval and Rush College Medical Middle in Chicago.
The work resulting in the invention was headed by Frédéric Calon, a professor on the School of Pharmacy and a researcher on the Institute of Vitamin and Purposeful Meals and the CHU de Québec–Université Laval Analysis Centre.
The findings might have an effect on the seek for new Alzheimer’s medicine.
A number of medical trials are underway to evaluate the efficacy of diabetes medicine for Alzheimer’s illness. Our examine exhibits that medicine don’t have to cross the blood–mind barrier of microvessels to have an effect on mind insulin resistance. As a substitute, they’ll goal insulin receptors positioned in cerebral microvessels. That expands the vary of medication that may very well be examined for Alzheimer’s.”
Frédéric Calon, Professor, School of Pharmacy and Researcher, Institute of Vitamin and Purposeful Meals and the CHU de Québec–Université Laval Analysis Centre
The analysis was made potential by a longitudinal examine that started in 1993 and entails about 1,100 members of some 30 non secular congregations in america. The members have agreed to bear annual medical and psychological checks and donate their brains after demise. The Mind article is predicated on information from 60 deceased people who participated on this intensive examine.
Examination of their brains revealed that:
- Insulin receptors are discovered primarily in blood microvessels, not neurons, as beforehand thought.
- Alpha-B insulin receptor subunits have been much less prevalent within the microvessels of individuals recognized with Alzheimer’s.
- Cognitive take a look at scores have been decrease in topics with fewer alpha-B insulin receptors of their microvessels.
- Topics with fewer alpha-B insulin receptors of their microvessels had extra beta-amyloid plaques of their brains.
Experiments carried out by the researchers on transgenic mice used to review Alzheimer’s illness confirmed that the amount of alpha-B receptors in microvessels decreased with age and illness development.
“Our findings counsel that the lack of alpha-B insulin receptors in mind microvessels contributes to insulin resistance within the mind and cognitive decline in individuals with Alzheimer’s illness,” Professor Calon stated.
These findings help the concept Alzheimer’s is a neurodegenerative illness with a powerful metabolic part. “Metabolic dysfunction exacerbates Alzheimer’s, and Alzheimer’s amplifies the metabolic downside. It is a vicious circle,” stated Professor Calon.
The authors of the examine are Manon Leclerc, Philippe Bourassa, Cynthia Tremblay, Vicky Caron, Camille Sugère, Vincent Emond and Frédéric Calon from Université Laval, and David Bennett from Rush College Medical Middle. This work was supported by the Canadian Institutes of Well being Analysis (CIHR).

Big news, '90s coming-of-age drama fans! Today marks the 20th anniversary of "Now and Then," the 1995 ensemble about a group of young female friends and the women they eventually grew into.
The film suggested that Christina Ricci would eventually grow up to look like Rosie O'Donnell, while Thora Birch would develop into Melanie Griffith, Gaby Hoffman into Demi Moore and Ashleigh Aston Moore into Rita Wilson.
To mark the big anniversary, we thought it would be interesting to take a look at just how good the casting directors were at prognosticating. So how do the young actresses 20 years on stack up to their onscreen future selves? Take a look.


TUSCUMBIA — The professional services firm Volkert presented five options for overpasses spanning the Norfolk Southern Railway tracks that pass through Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals during a stakeholders meeting Thursday.
Of the five, overpasses at Montgomery Avenue and Cox Boulevard in Sheffield seemed to make the most sense from a traffic and cost benefit standpoint, according to members of the firm and local public officials.
Volkert and its subcontractor, Skipper Consulting Inc., were selected to conduct a feasibility study of the best locations to build an overpass over the tracks.
The issue has been around for years, but leaped back into the forefront in the past several years as Norfolk Southern trains began stopping on tracks in Sheffield, Tuscumbia and Muscle Shoals for long periods of time, blocking busy railroad crossings.
"A feasibility study is an analysis and evaluation of proposed alternatives to determine if one or more are technically, environmentally and economically feasible," said Ashley Adams, who works in Volkert's Business Development section.
The study considered current and future traffic patterns, environmental considerations and cost estimates.
The most popular options involved a five-lane overpass that would begin on Second Street, cross over the railroad tracks at an angle and end in the vicinity of South Montgomery and West Montgomery Avenue.
The Montgomery Extension option includes a roundabout near the intersection of South and West Montgomery avenues.
A second Montgomery Avenue option, the Montgomery Grade Separated option, follows a similar path, but includes more elevated portions. It connects with South Montgomery Avenue further south near Cohen Street with no roundabout.
The concerns associated with these options include potential impacts to 100-year floodplains; potential impacts to the Sheffield Downtown Historic District and the Residential Historic District; and possibly to Sheffield's Fire Station Number 2 on West Montgomery Avenue.
A third options involves branching off Cox Boulevard and crossing the tracks at an angle and connecting with Avalon Avenue in Tuscumbia at King Avenue.
This would impact a 100-year floodplain, wetlands, North Alabama Animal Hospital and Sterling Boulevard Church of Christ on South 19th Street.
Of the three, the two-lane Cox Boulevard option has the lowest estimated construction cost of $11,667,000.
The Montgomery Extension has an estimated cost of $16,781,306, while the Montgomery Grade Separated option is estimated to cost $19,438,252.
Two other options included in the study are the Columbia Extension, a $9,716,873 project involving a two-lane overpass over the tracks on Columbia Avenue, and an underpass that begins on Commons Street in Tuscumbia. That option is estimated at $15,830,038.
Each option included bike and pedestrian lanes.
Colbert County Commissioner Tommy Barnes, who lives and works in Sheffield, said he favors the Montgomery Grade Separated Option.
He said the option makes sense because of the existing traffic flow along that route, and offers the least inconvenience to the public.
Sheffield Mayor Ian Sanford said he favors the Montgomery Grade Separated option, then the Cox Boulevard option. Ultimately, he said he wants the overpass where the public wants it.
"I don't want to dictate where it goes," Sanford said.
Sanford said he would also like to see more detail of that option, which will likely come after the choices are narrowed down.
"We want the best one," Tuscumbia Mayor Kerry Underwood said. "We want to be sure the money is there before making a commitment. It's something that's needed."
Jesse Turner, the transportation planning director for the Northwest Alabama Council of Local Governments, said an in person public meeting is being planned for late July, but an online option is also being worked on that would allow people to view the options and submit a comment form.
"This was a time for us to show what we've come up with to our stakeholders," Turner said.
The stakeholders were more than government officials. The meeting was attended by representatives of the Colbert Emergency Management Agency, Helen Keller Hospital, Sheffield Utilities and the Alabama Department of Transportation.

Punk: disaffection or exultation? Errr, yes. Great to come back to Spheeris's doc. I am no longer a young man yearning his way in the direction of this particular branded past. I see myself now as a more removed witness to the cavalcade(s) of history. But still think X were a band of geniuses who have a lot to show us even now about how to wax human. Chris D. show up briefly. So where the fuck are The Flesh Eaters?
Punks were and still are worthless people (and, as seen in this, at times racist, sexist, homophobic, and nihilistic), but I love what they somehow managed to create. This is a particularly great examination of the unique and revolutionary countercultural movement they birthed.

Sammy Hagar. Lemmy. Dave Davies. Reg Presley. It seems having a close encounter has been the ass-probe of death in rock career terms. But Awolnation, the hook-heavy synth rock collaboration of Aaron Bruno from Under The Influence Of Giants and Blind Melon’s Christopher Thorn, are bucking the anti-Spock rock trend.
They’ve got one single about UFO abduction and one with a video featuring an alien snow monster into the US Alternative top five, and made a rather cracking debut album full of death-ray pop hits.
Megalithic Symphony succeeds by making a positive of its esoteric oddity, shamelessly coming on by turns like a malfunctioning android Hall & Oates (Guilty Filthy Soul), a goth Linkin Park (Soul Wars), an electro pop-metal Beatlemania (Burn it Down), a torch ballad by the winner of the Venusian X-Factor (All I Need) and a mutant amalgam of Pendulum and Len (Wake Up).
Then it crams about six songs into the 10-minute pop epic closer Knights Of Shame, like Muse if they gave a toss about playlists. Beam ’em up.
