The Vauxhall Corsa will no longer be offered with a diesel engine because the variant represented just 2.5% of the model's sales.
Corsas powered by the 1.3 CDTi engine were particularly unpopular with retail buyers, who account for the majority of the hatchback's customers. In 2017, just 0.5% of Corsa retail purchases were of the diesel.
This fits with a trend in the new car market; diesel sales have fallen by more than a third in recent months due to growing uncertainty and the new diesel tax hike.
A spokesman told Autocar that this low demand made the diesel Corsa too costly to retain amid the British brand's ongoing efficiency-boosting measures. Vauxhall's new parent company, the PSA Group, is rolling out several measures to boost its profitability.
This is also the explanation given for Vauxhall's decision to streamline the Corsa's trim levels. The Ford Fiesta rival had been offered with 11 trims, but this now has been cut to seven: Active, Design, Energy, Sport, SRi Nav, SE Nav and SRi VX-Line Nav Black.

Coup leaders in Mali have agreed to stand down and allow a transition to civilian rule, as part of a deal struck with regional bloc, ECOWAS.Under the terms of the transition plan, military rulers will cede power to the Parliamentary Speaker, Diouncounda Traore, who as interim president will organise elections in 40 days.
Mediators say the bloc will lift trade and economic sanctions and grant amnesty to the ruling junta.
Meanwhile, Mali's political problems have been expanded by the declaration of independence of Azawad in the north by the Tuareg rebels.
The rebels seized the area after a coup by the military two weeks ago, plunging the West African nation into further political crisis.

Bears & Eagles Riverfront Stadium, originally simply Riverfront Stadium, was a 6,200-seat baseball park in Newark, New Jersey, United States, that was home to the baseball teams of two of Newark's universities: the Rutgers-Newark Scarlet Raiders, who play in the New Jersey Athletic Conference as part of NCAA Division III, and the NJIT Highlanders, who play in the Atlantic Sun Conference as part of NCAA Division I. The stadium was demolished in 2019.
The impetus for the stadium's construction was the awarding of an expansion franchise in the Atlantic League of Professional Baseball, an independent minor baseball league, in 1999. The team took the name Newark Bears, and the stadium hosted its first regular season baseball game on July 16, 1999 when the Bears took on the Lehigh Valley Black Diamonds.[1] The Bears played in the stadium from 1999 until 2013, having later moved to the Canadian-American Association of Professional Baseball, before the team was folded.
The stadium was named in honor of the original Bears, who were the top farm club of the New York Yankees from 1946 until 1949, and the Newark Eagles, who played in the Negro Leagues.
The stadium cost $34 million to build, and left Essex County with $2 million a year in bond payments[2] when it was sold in 2016 for $23 million for a commercial-residential project.[3][4]
The Newark Bears had joined the Atlantic League at its founding in 1998 but played their 'home' games at The Ballpark at Harbor Yard in Bridgeport, Connecticut during that first season, sharing the park with the Bridgeport Bluefish. Since construction of the stadium was still not finished in 1999, the Bears played their first 20 home games at Skylands Park in Augusta, New Jersey, sharing the facility with the New Jersey Cardinals.
The Bears have nicknamed the stadium "Brick City" or "The Den" representing the home of a bear.
Originally, the stadium was to be built along the Passaic River, perhaps at or near Riverbank Park, but the eventual site was at Broad and Orange Streets. The block of Orange Street, between Broad Street and McCarter Highway, was vacated to allow for the ballpark to be built.
In 2001, the Bears added "Bears & Eagles" to the name of the park. The new name reflected the heritage represented by both the International League's Bears, and the Negro National League Newark Eagles, both of whom had played at Ruppert Stadium (demolished in 1967) in the area now called the Ironbound.
Public transportation[edit]
The stadium is across the street from New Jersey Transit's Broad Street Station. Opened July 17, 2006, the Riverfront Stadium station on the Newark Light Rail provides service from Newark Penn Station.
On August 12, 2019 demolition began on the stadium.

THE HENRI Matisse lithograph hangs next to the cubist tea kettle which hangs next to the Le Corbusier collage. Across the way, the primary hues in a blurred photo of a streetscape echo the rainbow-hued geometry in an enormous David Simpson canvas, while an almost life-sized nude by Mel Ramos holds court over a wall of Pop Art icons. There's a Picasso etching over there, next to Damian Elwes' rendering of the artist's studio, all Mediterranean-blue moulding and half-finished canvases and paint smears on a herringbone parquet floor. There are photographs and comic-book covers, realist canvases and gestural abstract works. All told, there are 89 works spanning a century and several continents, but there's one name on the wall that links them together: INDEPENDENT VISION: MODERN AND CONTEMPORARY ART FROM THE MARTIN MULLER COLLECTION.
Walk into someone's house, and the objects held within will give you an insight as to who the person is: the books on the shelf, the photos on the mantel, the dog-eared magazines on the coffee table. If the same can be said of the art that a person collects over a lifetime, walking into Independent Vision has to make you wonder: Who's the person—this Martin Muller—at the center of all of this? Who's the person who could convene so many international provocateurs in one so very middle-of-America space?
And why on earth is that middle-of-America space this one?
That's what Martin Muller remembers as his first impression upon arriving in Little Rock from Geneva, Switzerland, back in 1978, almost 40 years to the day that we find ourselves sitting in the Arkansas Arts Center's lobby, 20 yards from where the crew is putting the finishing touches on the exhibition that bears his name.
"I had come many times to the United States, but primarily to New York, and sometimes San Francisco, Los Angeles, but I had never been to what we call in French l'Amerique profonde—the deep heartland America," says Martin, clad in a navy corduroy suit and his trademark bow tie and gold-rimmed glasses, his European accent still noticeable but softened by four decades in America. "And my fascination to this day—each time I come, and I come to Little Rock at least once, if not twice, a year—is with the space. I remember arriving and saying, Whoa, all this openness. No walls! To me, that was a reflection of the mentality. It's open—feel free. To me, the important component of that is how it reflects in people's mentality—that's the more interesting part of it. And I picked up on that upon arrival."
He was in his early 20s at the time, with a degree in 19th- and 20th-century Russian literature and a hunger for the American experience. He was in Little Rock at the behest of a Swiss hotelier, Jacques Tréton (you may know his name as one half of Jacques & Suzanne, the French-accented restaurant that was the darling of the Little Rock restaurant scene from 1975 to 1986). Martin found a warm welcome in Little Rock and a place among what he calls a "quasi-salon" of folks—folks with names such as Fred Poe and Paul Bash and André Simon and Louis Petit, folks who enjoyed "libations served and overserved and who would get on the piano and play Scott Joplin's music and talk about theater and the avant-garde."
He also found a place at the Arkansas Arts Center—or, to be more specific, in the center's windowless library. A self-proclaimed bibliophile, someone who is, as he says, "pathologically book-obsessed" (he owns over 30,000 titles), Martin took refuge in the stacks, combing through the latest editions of art periodicals for scholarship on artists of the Russian avant-garde, which he'd grown fond of during his studies in Moscow.
"I loved the smell of that room," he says of the place where he spent his off-duty hours during his year in Little Rock. "It might be slightly off-color to some, but to me, for any book lover, there's a smell: books, humidity—it's a library smell. There was pretty much always nobody in that room. I was always alone."
It might've been those afternoons in the library, it might've been the friendship Martin struck up with the director of the Arts Center at that time, Townsend Wolfe, but whatever it was, Little Rock was the place where Martin decided his future would be in the arts, somehow, some way. He just didn't know how—as a scholar? A dealer? He knew where, though, or at least where he'd start: San Francisco, where he had close family friends. A year and some extremely fortuitous encounters later (namely with Prince Nikita and Princess Nina Lobanov-Rostovsky, a pair of wealthy Russian collectors), Martin's gallery, Modernism, was born, and his first show mounted: The Russian Avant-Garde (1910-1930).
"I had to put together a show, and there was a minor detail I overlooked: the economics," he says, laughing at his 20-something naiveté. "How about the money? How about paying the bills? That requires one to sell some artworks. But to who? All my friends in America were in Little Rock. So, what do I do? I start flying back to Little Rock, and say"—and here, Martin does a Swiss-tinged Southern impression—"Hey, y'all, you want some artworks?"
And, truly, that's where it starts. That's where the man behind the 89 works being hung in the gallery behind us—a small percentage of his 40-some-year collection, which numbers upward of 2,300 pieces by 600-some artists—found his footing in the art world.
As he finishes bringing me up to speed, Martin notices me sneaking a peek over his shoulder at the gallery behind him.
"You want to go and look?" he asks. "Do you have time?"
Do I ever.
"IT'S MY babies," Martin says, holding the glass door open to the Townsend Wolfe Gallery. "Some people have babies. I have artworks. It's best to have both, but my dad told me you never have it all." We step into the exhibition's anteroom, stopping beneath the wall text bearing his name.
"Well," he says, clearly unsure how to define his life's work—or at least the small slice of his life's work—laid out before us. "First, I should say I have all the medium: paintings, drawings, prints, photography, sculpture, very little sculpture. Then within this, there are different facets which I cover: I cover art about art, I cover art with political or social issues, I collect art that is conceptual in nature, some art that would lean toward spirituality, some that would lean toward contemplation, some that would lean toward humor, some that would lean toward sensuality, meaning there are kind of pockets within …"
He pauses. "How about if I let you look and ask, because I don't want to put you to sleep—I could go on for a month about each artwork."
I guess if they have something particular, I start to say.
"They all have something particular."
As we walk into the exhibition hall, passing a piece by Alexander Bogomazov on our left, among others, he steers us, as if on autopilot, to a photo taken by Julian Wasser of Dadaist Marcel Duchamp. "Duchamp," Martin says, somewhat reverently. "He's one of the grand fundamentals of my journey. I'm very partial to him bringing about the fact that art nowadays is about ideas—that you find beauty in ideas, not just the object, not just the pretty picture, but about how beautiful is what is said, what is coming about."
I follow him closely, the student to his teacher, reaping the benefits of seeing these works, his babies, through his eyes. We walk quickly past his Warhols, pausing instead in front of a wall-sized canvas swathed in cotton-candy pink, fringed by palm trees. "Ah, this one," he says. "This is hanging at home. I love, love that painting. It's by Mel Ramos, who's from California, and he's kind of mocking New York—mocking the abstract expressionists. It's tedious and tight, where it's supposed to be just very physical. And again, I just love the space. I live with this painting. I love it."
My education continues as he points out a Robert Crumb drawing here, a Diane Arbus print there, a Kazimir Malevich—the Russian avant-garde artist who was his obsession 40 years ago as he pored over journals in this very building—over there. "What you see here is a suprematist painting, a school developed by Malevich," he says, "and again, a recurring theme of space. You see this? Space."
He says the word often, letting it roll off his tongue in a way that draws out the vowel sound, as if the word itself were a sigh, an exhale, a letting go. An unburdening.
It's around the time that we get to the wall of Paris-themed works—"Paris, it's my playground," he tells me with a wink—that it starts to set in: Walking through the gallery with Martin, I realize his collection isn't so much a mashup of disparate works as it is a methodical curation reflecting who this human is and what makes him tick. He's an impassioned intellectual, one who's moved not by art that's trendy—art that'll "sell"—but by art that provokes a feeling. Art that makes you think. He is, as his dear friend Jonathan Keats writes in the essay he penned for the exhibition catalog, someone who buys with his eyes instead of his ears, who collects with his head and his heart.
It makes sense, then, why, as we tour the space, he's quick to pass by the Picasso and the Le Corbusiers, the Matisse and the Hopper, preferring to linger on a piece by Shawn Huckins—the youngest artist in the show, one he says is "going to go places." So, too, does it make sense why, back in 1982, he mounted the first West Coast solo show of Andy Warhol's silkscreens (and why only one sold—to Martin Muller). And it makes sense, ultimately, why these works have found a home at the Arkansas Arts Center, if for only a while, at the place that in many ways opened the door to each and every work on these walls, and all the others back home in San Francisco: It's a place in both his head and his heart.
And in return, Martin's played a role in shaping the Arkansas Arts Center into the place that it is today. Of the artists on view in the show, I'll learn, 23 of them are represented in the permanent collection, which is less a coincidence and more of a product of those semiannual cigarette-fueled tête-à-têtes between Martin and Townsend. I'll also learn that the arts center has the largest public collection of work by Ukrainian artist Alexander Bogmazov—one of the artists Martin has championed since the early days of Modernism—of any U.S. museum, and that the institution's collection "is the envy of many museums for its quality and depth of holdings in Russian avant-garde art," according to curator Brian Lang says. It's a symbiotic relationship—one that's endured for 40 years.
AN HOUR'S passed, and Martin's still introducing me to his babies when he's told that he's needed elsewhere, leaving a handful of works unexplained. This discomforts him, knowing that some pieces will not receive their due. "That's Samuel Beckett over there," he says quickly as he walks toward the gallery doors, pointing to a black-and-white photograph, "and that's the surrealist poet Paul Éluard photographed by Man Ray, and oh, there's a looong story on that one, but we don't have time. Next time?"
Next time, I nod, and as he takes his leave, I cast one final glance around the space, curious as to how my impression will have shifted now that I know what I know about the man who was but a name to me before.
And here's the thing: Everything's different. Looking around, all I see is Martin: Martin the Russian scholar, Martin the francophile, Martin the aspiring pianist, Martin the jokester, Martin the thinker. The Martin who could never forget the place and the people who knew him way back when—the people who gave him the space to become who he is.

As a gay Texan, I've found a place in the Republican tent
I never wanted to be identified as a "gay" Republican. It was a valid label, but not one I felt comfortable with. It was not the controversy of it that bothered me. It was not concern about being judged by the LGBT community or by the conservative right that bothered me. I just did not like the baggage that came along with it. Because it didn't affect my political views.
I already had seen plenty of controversy from my work in two main areas of politics: The pro-life movement and criminal justice reform. The last thing I wanted to do was get involved in gay rights.
Then the "pastor protection" bill came up in 2015.
The legislation reiterated that conservative Christians have the right to live as they wanted to live — just like I wanted to. I waited around for hours to testify. I was surprised so many were testifying against the bill. I do not support unjust governmental discrimination, but it just made sense that people of any faith should practice and hold that faith as they desire as long as it is not harming another person.
That was the first time I testified as a "gay Texan." I was terrified to say that in a room full of right wing pastors and left wing LGBT activists. I got through the testimony and was waiting to be dismissed, but then I won the lottery. That is what some activists call it when a committee member asks a follow up question.
One of the members asked, "So you're saying you can have deep disagreements with people and still treat them with respect?" I responded, "Absolutely, personally I have friends from Jonathan Saenz to a gay communist stripper." That got a lot of laughs and a few tweets and stories mocking me.
Jonathan Saenz is the head of Texas Values and leads a lot of what is considered anti-gay legislation. We have disagreements but he's always been friendly and we work together on many pro-life issues. When you refuse to participate in personal attacks and focus on ideas, it is amazing the progress you can make.
After my testimony, things began to change. I was officially "out" and from much of the feedback, I saw the benefit to Christians of seeing someone be openly gay on the right. It broke the mold of LGBT people in their minds.
"Why are you a Republican?" That is the question I receive all the time. The answer is simple. There is no other place to go. Yes, I could become a Libertarian because I believe in small government, but then I would just be ineffectual. Yes, I could become a Democrat because they are more pro-gay, but then I'd have to give up almost every other political belief I have.
The Republican Party is a true big tent party. You would not know that from the news stories, but read between the lines. The media loves to talk about the infighting within the GOP, but why does that occur? Because we have so many different ideas and they come from the bottom up.
A few years back, there was an event with the chairs of the Republican Party and the Democratic Party of Texas. The head of the Democrats decided to mock then-Chair Steve Munisteri because of the floor fights Republicans had at their convention. The Democrat bragged about how they would never have such floor fights.
That is what solidified the Republican Party's appeal for me. This was a party where there could be disagreement. You could form your own place in this party. And that is what I did.
That is how this openly gay, pro-life, medical marijuana advocate found his home in the GOP.
And if you don't believe the right is a place where LGBT people can find agreement, check out "We Pledge Texas" and see the growing list of right-leaning leaders and activists willing to put their name out there against unjust discrimination — including against LGBT people.

It's been a long time since we saw a new portable offering from the forefathers of MP3. Since the Zen Vision:M and Zen V Plus, everything has been rather quiet, except for the Shuffle-aping Stone range. Now it's back and it's serious: so serious that it's gone back to basics, calling its new media player simply 'Zen'.
The big screen
The Zen is a bit of an anomaly in the flash media player arena. Despite its diminutive proportions it packs a 2.5in screen, the same size as that of the far bigger Zen Vision: M and iPod Classic. This isn't just a pocket MP3 player; it has media pretensions far beyond that simple level, to which end it supports various video codecs and 30fps playback.
Naturally, that hefty screen absorbs much of the front of the player, leaving just enough space on the right hand side for controls. Though it's not the most elegant of systems, it's very straightforward to use and will not challenge any but the most simplistic of gadgeteer minds.
In fact, the lack of elegance is a theme – on looks alone you'd go for a Nano or an iRiver Clix – though the build quality and finish are exemplary. It's a solid feeling player, a little more substantial than its contemporaries, but still defiantly pocketable.
Micro movie star
When you switch it on things get even better. The screen's a QVGA number that's bright and vibrant, though, because of its lower pixel-per-inch count, it lacks some of the Nano screen's sharpness. However, the extra screen real estate means it makes more sense than Apple's finest as a movie player.
The videos we transferred over were initially beyond the Zen's capabilities but the Zen Media Manager re-encoded and transferred them over automatically. Playback was superb – smooth with minimal blocking – convincing us that you could watch a movie on the Zen without going cross-eyed. And there aren't many sub-£100 players you can say that about.
The story is similar with music. Aside from a hint of digital haze, the performance is superb. The Nano is a little more spacious-sounding and well-resolved, but the Zen digs up similar levels of detail.
Fun, fun, functionality
Other elements of the experience are similarly positive. The interface makes the most of that lovely screen and can be customised (ooh, purple). Scrolling through yields a few hidden treats – there's an SDHC slot that can be accessed directly, allowing you to store additional media or check photos as soon as you've snapped them. If you plump for the highest capacity 16GB Zen you'll have some serious storage for a device of this size.
A voice recorder is a handy addition and the FM radio is surprisingly good. Reception is best out in the open but it holds a signal well and there are plenty of presets.
One rather negative aspect, but one we're familiar with from almost all media players, is headphone quality. The Zen's included earbuds sacrifice all in favour of bass. It's a shame because, as you've already read, there's much to recommend the Zen's audio.
That aside, we're thoroughly impressed. It doesn't have the sex appeal of the Nano but this Zen is all about power and functionality, offering as good a video experience as it does audio, and it doesn't neglect user experience. If you want the extra features and don't mind the relative lack of finesse, this is a great option.

The genre-defying Mavericks are declaring their independence and stepping out on their own with Brand New Day, the first studio album released on Mono Mundo Recordings, the label they founded in 2016. Brand New Day is the follow-up to the widely praised albums Mono (2015) and In Time (2013).Flashing the same exhilarating, beyond-category style that has defined the Mavericks, the new album introduces a collection of taut, energetic, economical songs sure to be embraced by both original fans of their top-10 albums and hit singles of the '90s and a new generation of listeners who have joined the party since their triumphant 2012 reunion. It is the mature and timely work of an exciting and underestimated American band that has embraced its own destiny."This is the first studio record on our own label, and it is an important component in the band's history," Malo says, "but the real goal was just to make a great record."The new collection - co-produced by the band's golden-voiced singer Raul Malo and Niko Bolas (Neil Young, Warren Zevon, Melissa Etheridge) - features the core members of the group since their reformation: Malo, drummer Paul Deakin, guitarist Eddie Perez, and keyboardist Jerry Dale McFadden, along with auxiliary members "the Fantastic Four" filling out the set's brawny sound with their signature accordion and horns.Free and truly independent for the first time in their career, the Mavericks were able to write and record without watching the clock. The process began in 2015 with a session at Capitol Studios in Hollywood, where the band cut two new songs by Malo and songwriting partner Alan Miller. Further writing and studio dates continued in Nashville amid a busy touring schedule over the course of the next year.Deakin says, "It was different than going in and recording a record in five or six days. I don't think it would have happened if we hadn't taken over so many aspects of our business - we've become more and more autonomous with every aspect of it, from the management to the record label. It's a very empowering and very exciting time for us to be doing this. It makes us feel like you can do anything that you want, and I think that comes through."Malo adds, "My thinking is always that you can make the best record you can make if you really labor over the parts, the editing, the songs, take your time. I wanted to specifically get to the point where you're trimming the fat off the songs and making as succinct and as concise a good little pop record as you can make. That was really the goal."The album contains a diverse selection of originals that show off the Mavericks' always multi-faceted musical personality, including the boldly upbeat title song, the tejano/bluegrass flavored "Rolling Along", the intensely romantic "Goodnight Waltz," the blues-fueled "Ride With Me," and the thematically pointed "Easy As It Seems" and "Damned (If You Do)."Brand New Day flexes the category-defying approach that has been a unique hallmark of the Mavericks' sound since the band's top-20 hits on the country charts. The album's 10 new songs seamlessly merge strains of Tex-Mex, Cuban bolero, R&B, blues, country, and rock 'n' roll."I came up with a new category called 'non-gen'," Deakin says with a laugh. "We don't seem to operate with many preconceived parameters. Raul's writing, which in my opinion...keeps getting better every time we go back in the studio, doesn't limit us to any one format. It's a band of audiophiles. Honestly, before we go on stage and after we get off stage, we're listening to music from every imaginal genre. I think that appreciation of all music naturally comes through when we make records."Malo says that one of his early inspirations, a fondly remembered 1960 pop aria by Elvis Presley, not only continues to drive his vision of the Mavericks' music, but also helped define the process of creating the unit's first studio release on their own."My whole life, I've been wanting to write 'It's Now or Never'," Malo says. "That was the record for me when I was a kid. That just blew my mind. It connected all these worlds musically, opera, pop, rock 'n' roll, R&B. It connected everything for me. The inspiration here was writing that kind of song, making that kind of record."Malo sees the expansive music on Brand New Day not merely as an expression of his personal roots, but also as a nod to the richness of their artistic sources.He says, "I live in Nashville, but I'm still as Cuban as if I was in Miami. But American music is such a beautiful landscape, and there are so many things to draw from. As a Latino, you're trying to assimilate into this culture, and you're taking it all in, and some of it grabs you by the throat and you can't let go of it. All of it is part of your vocabulary. It's all Americana, and now more than ever those differences, and that inclusion, need to be celebrated and need to be talked about."Find more info at: themavericksband.com
Special Guest: Amy Black As a singer and songwriter, Amy Black is known for her authenticity and versatility. Her live performance, like her songwriting, moves from tender and vulnerable...to fiery and dynamic. Amy's love of many classic forms of American music, including blues, country, soul, jazz, and rock n' roll led her from Boston...to Nashville...to Muscle Shoals...and, most recently, to Memphis to record with members of the Hi rhythm section (Al Green's backing band).While always drawn to singers of soul, blues and gospel, it wasn't until Amy began exploring her own southern roots for her third album, The Muscle Shoals Sessions, that she knew her next project had to be made in the place where blues and soul converge (and where she herself was conceived); where Al Green, Otis Redding and so many others turned grit and groove into some of the world's most beloved tunes. Black then hunted down several top musical architects to help her lay down the sound she wished to make -- the sound of Memphis. Find more info at: amyblack.com

How to Kick Senioritis
Published on February 18, 2019
Graduating is such an exciting time because you finally get to see the outcome of all the hard work you put in to get to this point. College is not necessarily easy but it is also one of the best times of life because you get to meet new people, try new things, and focus on preparing yourself for the future. Moving on from college and going into another chapter of life can be very exciting as well, but in order to get to that next chapter you have to go through the journey of senior year, and it can be tough.
If you are like me then during your senior year you have experienced what is commonly known as senioritis. Senioritis is used to describe a lack of motivation to push through senior year. While finishing my senior year and talking to other seniors, I have realized that senioritis goes so much deeper than not being motivated.
During this time of looking for a job, or a graduate school, everything is up in the air, which can be very nerve wracking considering the fact that we haven't really gone through this much change since deciding on a college to attend. Hearing from peers that have jobs lined up after graduation can be very discouraging, but through talking to other seniors I've realized that most of us actually have no clue what is going on. This doesn't make not having anything lined up any better, but it does bring me peace to know that I am not alone in this part of life.
What I have been doing to make myself feel better about graduating is making sure that I am preparing to be a good employee or graduate student. This looks like making sure that my resume communicates what it needs to and also continuing to stay focused on school so that I can show myself worthy of being accepted into a graduate program. If you are a senior trying to figure out what is going to happen with your future, my advice would be to not forget how important it is to live in the present and focus on preparing yourself for the future the best way you can.

Home Instead Seeks to Hire Caregivers in Morris County
ROXBURY, NJ - As America's aging population continues to grow, the need for caregivers has become increasingly apparent. That's why Home Instead Senior Care®, the leading global provider of home care services for seniors, has announced that it anticipates hiring 25 CAREGiversSM across Morris County.
Consider this – by 2050, the number of Americans aged 65 and older is projected to be 88.5 million, more than doubling the 2010 population.[1] More than 65 million people (29 percent of the U.S. population) provide care for a chronically ill, disabled or aged family member or friend during any given year and spends an average of 20 hours per week providing care for their loved one.[2] As the baby boomer generation starts to enter elder hood, many more individuals will soon be faced with this responsibility.
Not surprisingly, the demand for caregiving services is outweighing the availability of professional caregivers.
"We're looking for compassionate and caring individuals who enjoy helping others," said Andrea Sussman, co-owner of the Home Instead Senior Care office in Succasunna. "These people improve the lives of families in our communities which can be very satisfying. For recent graduates, job hunters or employed individuals looking to make a change, a career working with seniors can be a very rewarding experience."
Sussman added that becoming a caregiver is a great option for individuals looking for a job with a flexible schedule and no medical skills or training required. Not only do caregivers maintain a healthy work-life balance, they also often develop a personal connection with their clients and become a part of the families they support.
While training is not a requirement to be hired, once through the door, individuals receive comprehensive education through the Home Instead® CAREGiverSM training program, as well as support to become a New Jersey Certified Home Health Aide (CHHA). These combined programs ensure trainees learn all the skills necessary to enhance the quality of life of seniors by providing support that allows them to remain in their homes.
"The work is flexible and I truly feel that I am making a difference in people's lives," says Amanda Dealmagro, Home Instead CAREGiver since 2012. "I'm thrilled to be working with some truly amazing people and feel that I'm giving back in a meaningful way."
For more information on Home Instead®, please visit https://www.homeinstead.com/322/home-care-jobs or call (973) 970-9250.
Founded in 1994 in Omaha, Nebraska, by Lori and Paul Hogan, the Home Instead Senior Care® network provides personalized care, support and education to help enhance the lives of aging adults and their families. Today, this network is the world's leading provider of non-medical in-home care services for seniors, with more than 1,000 independently owned and operated franchises that are estimated to annually provide more than 50 million hours of care throughout the United States and 17 other countries.
Local Home Instead Senior Care offices employ approximately 65,000 CAREGiversSM worldwide who provide basic support services that enable seniors to live safely and comfortably in their own homes for as long as possible. The Home Instead Senior Care network strives to partner with each client and his or her family members to help meet that individual's needs. Services span the care continuum from providing companionship and personal care to specialized Alzheimer's care and hospice support. Also available are family caregiver education and support resources. At Home Instead Senior Care, it's relationship before task, while striving to provide superior quality service.

128th Meeting Artist
Charles Busuttil - Musical Instruments Restorer
The 128th Art Discussion Group Meeting will be held on Tuesday 24th March 2015 at 19.30hrs at
MISCO OFFICE (first floor) in Fino Building in Notabile Road, Mriehel. ADG is inviting Charles
Busuttil a specialist
involved in restoring fine instruments ranging from antique and rare
violins to mandolins, banjos, guitars and other string instruments.
He took after his father Felix who Charles regards as his mentor and friend. His father always taught him that if someone else could fix it, he could fix it too. Charles will answer questions from the floor regarding his approach and technique in restoration. He will also elaborate about his career and unique tasks that gave him great satisfaction.
'For the past 40 years I have been working and helping out my father with a vast array of work. He was a specialist marine diesel engines engineer and lecturer for 40 years. I have helped him fix marine and car engines, overhauled and restored old cars, built furniture, restored antique furniture, restored and built my house, built boats, and the list goes on and on. It is also thanks to my father that I got good grades in advanced level and university level physics and general science, and also graduated as Yacht Master Offshore'.
In 1992, while Charles was at university, he started a small part-time hobby of repairing and setting guitars. He was soon joined by his father who eventually took the position of a respected Luthier, and since his retirement in 2000 has spent all his days at the workshop. In November 2014 Felix died and Charles had to continue on his own imbued and inspired by the tenacity of his late father.
They had attended restoration workshops in Germany and Italy. Over the years they have restored some fine instruments ranging from antique and rare violins to mandolins, banjos, guitars and other string instruments. While the bulk of Charles' work involves repairs, he has restored some rare and important instruments over the years, including a violin by renowned Italian luthier Giuseppe Guarneri, dating from 1714. The painstaking restoration took him and his father two years to complete. 'When we heard it played for the first time we cried – it was such a beautiful sound'.
Since 1992 the garage, a casa bottega in Zabbar has hosted 'Band Aid Music' that services, repairs and restores string instruments, as well as selling guitars and amplifiers. Charles started the business after building a strong word-of-mouth reputation for fixing instruments in his university days. ''Band Aid Music' is now well-known among musicians in Malta and beyond, with Bryan Adams, Jethro Tull, Zucchero, Tom Jones, Ronan Keating, Michael Bolton and Riccardo Cocciante just some of the many international stars who have sought Charles's services while visiting the island. He also receives instruments from collectors as far away as the UK and US, who trust Charles more than restorers in their own countries.
Charles has also worked with and for some famous artists like: Alan Parsons, Supertramp, Claudio Baglioni, Lucio Dalla, Marillion, Moby, Matia Bazar, Riccardo Fogli, The Wailers, P.P Arnold, Smokie, Joseph Calleja, James Blunt, Tom Jones, Winter Moods, Jesse Cook, Patty Smith and many more.
Charles is a science teacher by profession. He also does part-time work as a session musician with well-known local bands and as a backline and instrument technician during big concerts. But despite his love for instrument repairs and restoration, Charles does not want to give up his day job. 'The balance is perfect at the moment: I don't want to expand because I would have to employ more people, and the personal service I'm known for would be lost'.
ADG invites all members and their friends and the public to enjoy meeting Charles Busuttil the restorer and share with him the thrills and pleasures of his successes. E.V. Borg 06. 03. 2015

England should build more grammar schools, one of the country's foremost industrialists has said.
Juergen Maier, the chief executive of Siemens UK, told the CBI conference that schools had "to give people the hope and aspiration that they can be absolutely brilliant in society".
However the idea was knocked down straightaway by Nicky Morgan, the Education secretary, who said she was "not going to fight the battles of the past".
Photo: EPA/FACUNDO ARRIZABALAGA
Asked if he was "in favour of bringing back grammars", he replied: "I am actually."
Later Mr Maier, which runs a business that employs 14,000 staff in the UK that had £5billion sales in 2014, said: "I just think that a duel approach is a pretty good system.
"We have labelled them grammar schools, what I was really talking about is an approach that says at a certain age you are more destined for an academic route.
"And then you start to measure the success slightly differently – that is a lot of what we were talking about."
There comes a point where if you put too much pressure on kids purely academically when clearly their interest is in a more practical type, then you should measure it in a different way.
"You are not differentiating really – you are saying 'that is what you are going to excel at, and that is what you are going to excel at'. Both are totally absolutely valuable."
However, speaking at the same conference in central London, Mrs Morgan said she was not keen on bringing back more grammar schools.

Asked if she were a "fan" of the schools, she said: "No we've been very clear were not going to return to a selective system because frankly I'm not going to fight the battles of the past.
"I want all schools to be stretching the most able. That's one of the reasons we're moving to measuring by progress to make sure schools are stretching the most able and helping those who are struggling."
Last month Mrs Morgan approved a new satellite grammar school extension several miles from an existing grammar school in Kent.
Mrs Morgan said the decision was a one-off – but Labour was quick to argue that the decision would open the floodgates to new grammar schools around England.

The Trump administration released its second budget proposal on Monday, and as prior reports indicated, it abandons the long-held GOP position, as well as the explicit promise President Trump made, to balance the federal budget within 10 years.
The budget would cut spending, but not nearly enough to balance the budget within the traditional 10-year budget window. The proposal would add $7.2 trillion more to the debt over 10 years. The projections in the budget also envision very robust economic growth, so if the economy cools, the budgetary picture will get even worse.
All of this is made more difficult by the trillion-dollar hole left in the budget by Trump's tax cut, plus the half a trillion in increased spending in the two-year budget deal Trump signed last week. That deal means $1 trillion in annual budget deficits for the foreseeable future.
This is far from what candidate Trump told his supporters he would do:
- In his official campaign launch address, Trump promised to "reduce our $18 trillion in debt," which will not happen even under the administration's rosy projections.
- On the campaign trail, Trump said he would "freeze the budget," which has certainly not happened.
- Shortly before his inauguration, he told Sean Hannity that he would "balance the budget very quickly … I think over a five-year period. And I don't know, maybe I could even surprise you."
- Previous to that, in March 2016, he told Bob Woodward that he could get rid of the debt "fairly quickly." When pressed, he said, "Well, I would say over a period of eight years."
- Trump asserted during the second presidential debate that he would bring back energy companies, which would make so much money that they could pay off the national debt.
Those promises are also counter to Republican orthodoxy — the 2011 shutdown, for example, effectively boiled down to the Republican congressional majority's demand for an amendment to the Constitution that would require a balanced budget. Now, that demand has all but disappeared.
Trump has apparently given up on even talking about these issues: during his first State of the Union address, the president failed to mention the budget, debt, or fiscal deficit at all. His prior joint address to Congress had one attack on the Obama administration for the debt it had accumulated, plus a brief mention of his budget proposal, but no talk of cutting the deficit or shrinking the debt.
Last year, Trump's budget director, Mick Mulvaney, dismissed his boss' budget promises as "hyperbole."
"I'm not going to be able to pay off $20 trillion worth of debt in four years," he said at the time. "I'd be being dishonest with you if I said that I could. The reason the president doesn't want to change some of the mandatory spending, is because the public's not ready for it yet. They're ready for economic growth."
The budget proposal still manages to implement austere cuts to many agencies, with the exceptions of the Departments of Defense, Veterans Affairs, and Homeland Security, similar to last year's budget proposal.
The Trump administration has seemingly been overwhelmed by how difficult it is to balance the federal budget while also lowering taxes, preserving non-discretionary spending, increasing military spending, and cutting discretionary spending.
The market's excitement about tax cuts, which helped buoy stock prices to record levels, may be a double-edged sword: high deficits caused by those same tax cuts, plus an administration with a budget that plans to keep those deficits for at least 10 years, brings anxiety to the stock market. Mulvaney himself warned on Sunday that because of the still-rising deficit, interest rates may "spike."
All of this may come down to the fact that the president simply cannot grasp how any of this works. Based on his comments to Sean Hannity last year, for instance, it was unclear whether Trump understood the national debt: he touted the growth in the stock market, and accused the last administration of borrowing $10.2 trillion, "and yet, we picked up $5.2 trillion in the stock market, possibly picked up the whole things in terms of the first nine months in terms of value."
He concluded, "so, you could say in one sense we are really increasing values, and maybe in a sense we are reducing debt."
The performance of the stock market is unrelated to the national debt.
In 2016, then-Fox News host Bill O'Reilly pushed Trump on how hard it would be to cut taxes and use any revenue gained from growth to cut down on the debt. "…You are going to have to raise taxes to get more money in to pay down that debt," O'Reilly said. Trump replied that taxes are too high. O'Reilly argued that "But if you cut the taxes again the revenue to pay down the debt then leaves." He then pivoted to another topic, but not before Trump said "You are going to slowly pay down the debt."

Rocky leaders back Tony Abbott's push for new dams
THE region's community leaders have a united view when it comes to potential dam sites in Central Queensland.
Rockhampton Mayor Margaret Strelow, Capricornia MP Michelle Landry and Senator Matt Canavan are pushing forward with the plans to get dams built in the near future.
Future dam plans were discussed with Prime Minister Tony Abbott when he was in Rockhampton earlier this week. Mayor Margaret Strelow said that it was great to have the Prime Minister in town saying "now is the time".
"I absolutely support the idea of building water storage and having it available so that local businesses can grow," Cr Strelow said.
"It's great to have the Prime Minister looking to kick-start the growth of industry and agriculture in our region by building the water storages and to have confidence to develop them."
A National Water Infrastructure Roundtable will be held later this month to help hasten construction of new dams.
Senator Matthew Canavan said while there was no shortage of good sites for dams in the region, the big question was how they were going to be paid for.
"We can't fund the dams completely from public funds, we don't have the money and we need help from private sectors," Mr Canavon said.
"So, I am pleased to see this roundtable bring together investors, representatives of irrigators, mining and power industries, financiers, government officials and construction companies."
Meanwhile, Capricornia MP Michelle Landry said she was back in parliament next week and planned to lobby for dam sites.
"We have to put politics aside and work together as a united team for Central Queensland," she said.

What Makes Us Itch?
For the most part, itchy skin -- caused by irritation of the skin cells or the nerves associated with them -- is nothing to worry about and is usually treatable at home. Still, itching is unpleasant, and in rare cases, it can point to a serious health problem, so it helps to know the facts.

It is 2018 and the most talked about item is a borderline Christmas song first recorded in the 1940s.
Just imagine that.
For those who haven't had a friend post on Facebook, a music station in Cleveland made the decision to pull the oft-covered "Baby, It's Cold Outside" from its holiday playlist.
The song is a playful duet between a man and a woman. The woman is trying to leave, but the man doth protest and tries to get her to stay.
In the #MeToo age, the station chose to remove it because of the connotations of coercion and questions about what is really considered consent.
A couple of CBC streams followed suit and then pandemonium hit. Bell and Rogers have also removed the song.
If your Facebook is like mine, since the news hit your newsfeed has been inundated with posts bemoaning the removal of the song from a playlist somewhere on the internet.
There were memes and status posts with large block letters railing against the decision.
I get the song is beloved. Modern Christmas classic "Elf" has a scene with the song in it. As an aside, is it really Christmas music though?
I mean sure, it is set during a snowstorm, but why does that automatically make it a Christmas song?
Is The Counting Crows' "Long December" or Gordon Lightfoot's "Song for a Winter Night" Christmas tunes because they are seasonal?
No, not really.
Getting back on track, the problem comes with meshing a song from seven decades ago with the state of the world as it is today.
Ideals have shifted. What worked then wouldn't necessarily work now.
When the song was written, it was taboo for a woman to stay overnight with a gentleman.
As time moved on, people started seeing the woman and man engaging in a romantic game of cat and mouse.
The woman playing the reluctant hard-to-get, while the man was the incessant lover.
While it worked for everything that led to this point, through the lens of 2018, the song doesn't jive with the state of the world. Love it or leave it, it is something we have to come to grips with.
That's what I think is going on.
I still don't understand what the big deal is. It isn't a form of censorship, it has no bearing on my life nor does it make things more difficult for me.
I rarely listen to the radio and when I put on a track it's usually from YouTube or Spotify. The song is on there.
If I so desired, I could play it whenever I wanted for as many times as I wanted.
If the removal of "Baby, It's Cold Outside" really shook the foundations of your world, I sympathize with you.
There was a time I requested a song on K-Rock and I was told it wasn't allowed. I get it.
The issue isn't about your disdain for liberals, who many think are ruining everything that is good in this world.
It is about the problems we all have with being told we're not allowed to do something.
It happens every so often. Something changes in our world.
We have no control over it and didn't even realize it was so important to us.
Then, all of a sudden it's gone, and we have a hard time rationalizing it.
You don't know what you have until it is gone, I guess.
In the wake of all of this, here is some advice: just play the song.
Stop posting and complaining about it on Facebook, where you can get cheap likes and shares from your friends.
You can get your dose of social media-induced dopamine somewhere else.
Play the song if you want.
Get on Spotify and add it to your Christmas playlist.
Play it loud and stick it to "the man."
It is that simple.

P-47D Thunderbolt 1:48 scale UK price £28.99
This latest release from Tamiya consists of 162 parts spread over five grey and one transparent sprue, with ten of these parts being unused and presumably included in anticipation of later releases of this popular subject, the most obvious being a 'Bubbletop'.
Decal options are limited to two subjects, both from the 56th FG based at Halesworth in March 1944 and finished in Olive Drab over Neutral Gray. Lt Frank Kibbe of the 61st FS and Capt Walker Mahurin of the 63rd FS. Kibbe's is the boxtop version with the Red Indian Chief marking to complement the red cowling and rudder, while Mahurin's is more sedate with a white cowling ring and white bands around the tail surfaces and a 'War Savings Bond' legend. Both subjects feature the star-and-bar markings under both wings.
The optional parts are many and various. Three propellers are provided, tapered and paddle-bladed Curtiss and a Hamilton, four rear view mirrors, solid or 'spoked' wheel hubs, three gunsights, a pair of 5001b bombs, one 150 gallon and two 108 gallon drop tanks and a pair of triple 4.5in 'bazooka' tube launchers, plus odd parts like a D/F 'tower' and rings and a larger instrument panel glare shield. There is also the choice of open or closed cowling flaps, open or closed inter-cooler outlets, raised or lowered flaps and two different types of distributor on the engine housing.
Construction starts with the cockpit interior and were it not for the absence of a 'proper' seat harness I would say this was the equal of many resin upgrade sets. Tamiya do provide a decal harness but such things are a bit too 'flat' for my own taste, so I added a seat harness from a generic Re-Heat set. A decal is also supplied for the instrument panel dials, something I have been wary of in the past having found them ill-fitting and/or crudely presented. No such fears here; this Tamiya offering is beautifully presented and settles into place perfectly, each dial in to the correct recess, even over the bold raised detail on the part.
The fuselage halves are closed around the cockpit interior and a substantial wing spar, for unlike the current 'norm', the wing is constructed in two separate pieces rather than a one-piece lower wing part with two upper wing panels. However, the engineering throughout this kit is truly spectacular and the complex construction is made easy. I was also impressed by the scope of the detail included, Tamiya even providing the almost completely hidden turbo outlet in the fuselage underside!
The engine is most impressive and rewards time spent making up an ignition harness with fine wire. It is not essential as the engine lurks deep within the cowling, but like a seat harness I regard the addition of a wiring harness as de rigeur.
Making up the wings reveals some unusual panel inserts in the undersides, which might indicate what we may see in the future from Tamiya. Perhaps a dive-brake equipped 'hot-rod' P-47M?
A cautionary note. Make sure all the parts are properly cleaned-up before assembly. The tiniest of sprue tag remnants will throw the parts out one way or another, but when cleaned-up their fit is fantastic. I really liked the gun blast tubes with all eight being substantial enough to rescue from the 'carpet monster' if carelessly dropped!
The flap hinge/actuators have to be trapped between the flap halves as they are assembled. Time should be taken here as the orientation of the hinge/actuators isn't immediately obvious and it is best to remove and fit each one in turn after identifying it from the part number on the sprue.
I was also impressed by the provision of separate sway braces on the wing bomb racks. One point for the purists – if the 108 gal drop tanks are used on the wing racks the rod at the rear of the rack needs to be cut away and replaced with fine plastic rod between the rack and the rear of the tank. This was a spring-loaded strut which held the tank clear of the flap and aileron when it was dropped.
I also really appreciated the thought that went into the attachment points for the bombs and drop tanks. Tamiya provide for the creation of a finely detailed sub-assembly that can be carefully painted before it is attached with a very large tab that is completely hidden within the bomb rack.
Throughout construction the kit just fell together. Most of the join lines run along panel lines and those that didn't were easily polished out. Impressive stuff. One exception were the sway braces for the centre line bomb rack, parts E2 and E3. These were a little shallow, so I laid a strip of lOthou plastic card into the recesses in the fuselage and polished the ends to suit before fitting the brace parts.
I also chose to replace the kit's sliding canopy section with one from a Falcon vac-formed set, as the kit's is a little too thick for scale and doesn't sit properly on the model's spine. No discredit to Tamiya here, the kit item is admirably thin and wonderfully clear – it just isn't possible to mould the transparency to scale thickness and I really wanted to show the 'lid' open to reveal that super cockpit interior
AeroMaster and Polly-Scale acrylics were used to finish the model, followed by a coat of AeroMaster clear gloss varnish, then the kit decals were applied. In the past some Tamiya kits have suffered from sub-standard decals. Those in the P-47D kit are stunning, easily up to the standards of the best after-market offerings, wonderfully flexible with really solid colours and dozens of tiny stencils that can be read with the help of a magnifying glass. A coat of AeroMaster matt varnish finished the paintwork, then a little weathering and final assembly completed the project.
This kit is the finest aircraft kit of Tamiya's I've built to date and re-sets the benchmark for their future releases. I am not going to waste time debating overall accuracy in terms of shape and dimension – it looks spot-on to me.
Alas, the price is sure to cause a sharp intake of breath to many potential purchasers and individual modellers will have to make up their own minds on the kit's value.
Connected themes: rc models planes, model s kits, build scale models, P-47 thunderbolt, model airplanes diecast, photos of planes, large scale airplane models.

Tax season is upon us, and if you're a homeowner, you can claim some sizable deductions that may help reduce the amount you'll owe.
Mortgage interest, property taxes and mortgage insurance premiums are just some of the deductions you can take if you have a mortgage on your home. Together, they can add up to thousands of dollars in savings on your tax bill.
To help you get the most out of your real-estate-related tax deductions, we spoke with tax expert Andrew Poulos, principal of Poulos Accounting and Consulting in Atlanta. Here, he explains what you can — and can't — use as a real estate deduction on your taxes.
Note that you can either itemize deductions or take the IRS standard deduction — but not both.
"Itemized deductions are only going to benefit you if you have enough things to itemize on your taxes versus taking a standard deduction," Poulos says.
The standard deduction for 2018 is $24,000 for married couples and $12,000 for singles or married couples filing separately. An additional $1,300 deduction is available for elderly or blind taxpayers in 2018, and that amount increases to $1,600 for those who are also unmarried.
"If your itemized items don't exceed those amounts," Poulos says, "it's pointless to do them, because you'll shortchange yourself."

Mortgage interest
Home mortgages are structured so that a huge chunk of each payment you make in the initial years of ownership goes toward paying down the interest on your loan and only a little goes toward the principal. The good news is that you can deduct the interest payments on your primary (and sometimes a secondary) residence — up to $750,000 (or $375,000 if you're married and filing separately).
Most homeowners count this as one of the largest deductions on their tax bill each year. It applies to home purchases and mortgage refinances, home equity lines of credit and home equity loans, sometimes called second mortgages.
This deduction, filed with IRS Form 1098, can add up to thousands of dollars for most homeowners. The benefit: It reduces your taxable income so you don't owe as much come tax time.
The key to taking advantage of the mortgage interest deduction is itemizing your deductions in meticulous detail, Poulos says. Your lender will send you a statement each year to let you know how much interest you paid; that will help you figure out if it's worth your while to itemize.
If you bought a home in 2018, there's another deduction (score!) you may get to include on your tax bill: mortgage points. Most borrowers pay for points, which come in two forms: discount points, which allow you to prepay some of your loan interest in exchange for a better mortgage rate; and the loan origination fee. One point is equal to 1% of your loan amount. Many homeowners completely overlook this deduction, Poulos says.
Let's say you bought a home in New York using a $500,000 loan with a 1% origination fee. That's $5,000 you may be able to itemize as a deduction on your tax bill, and you want to get credit for each and every dollar you spent.
Your lender should provide you with a copy of your settlement statement, with the loan origination fee and discount points listed on it, in January. If you don't receive a copy, ask for one and verify that this information is listed on it so you can take advantage of the deduction on Form 1098, Poulos says.
Property taxes
Another perk of homeownership is writing off your annual property taxes. Depending on your filing status in 2018, you could subtract up to $10,000 in taxes. You get to deduct these taxes in the year they're paid, not the year they were due, Poulos says.
Your county's property assessor's office typically sends out a statement at the beginning of the year showing the amount of your property taxes. One more thing to keep in mind: If you bought a home and reimbursed the sellers for taxes they had already paid for the year, you'll see that reflected on your settlement statement, not on your 1098.
Items you can't deduct (sorry)
Sure, you get some pretty sweet deductions as a member of the homeowners club, but there are some exceptions. Here are a few real-estate-related costs you can't deduct:
- Mortgage insurance premiums.
- Home and title insurance coverage (other than mortgage insurance premiums).
- Depreciation.
- Utilities, such as gas, electricity and water.
- Most settlement costs (other than points).
- Forfeited deposits, down payments or earnest money.
- Home improvements paid via a private loan, cash or credit card.
- Homeowners association fees.
- Transfer taxes (stamp taxes) in a personal home sale.
Check out the IRS list of special situations and other nondeductible items related to homeownership.
Bottom line
One of the major benefits of owning your home has always been the tax write-offs that come with the package. Keep in mind, though, that if your itemized deductions don't add up to as much as the standard deduction you're eligible for, the standard deduction might be the better way to go.
If you have a complicated tax situation or you're unsure about certain real-estate-related deductions, it's a good idea to consult with a licensed tax professional for guidance. You don't want to miss out on deductions that will lower your tax burden and keep more money in your pocket.
Homeownership can have some pain points along the way, but the tax benefits you reap help make the largest investment of your life pay off in the long run.
