|Beginner's Guide to GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India
Category: Business & Economy: Business Resourceshttp://gstindiaguide.com/gst-india/
Beginner's Guide to GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India gstindiaguide.com/gst-india/ Indirect taxes in India have been in a constant state of evolution. Now, with the passage of the One Hundred and First Amendment Act of the Constitution of India enabling the introduction of a comprehensive Goods and Services Tax – GST in India, the Indian system of indirect taxation awaits what is being believed to be the most revolutionary step towards rationalization of indirect taxes in India. In short, GST will take place of all indirect taxes to create a single market. HSN Codes of all Commodities – CLICK HERE Possible GST, IGST, CGST & IGST Rates of all Commodities – CLICK HERE GST Calculator – CLICK HERE GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India Evolution of the Indian System of Indirect Taxation There are multiple general / industry-specific levies. These are discussed here : Customs Customs duty is a levy on import into India and export out of India. It is a central levy. The presence of customs as a formal levy goes back to 18th century. There existed a separate Sea Customs Act, Land Customs Act and provisions for air customs. These were consolidated into Customs Act, 1962, which is the present law for levy of customs. In 1986, a Customs Tariff Act was introduced based on the Harmonized System of Nomenclature. Customs duty was started with a rate of 5%. The rates were increased post-independence. The total duty burden eventually crossed 100%. Thereafter, the rates were gradually reduced in the 1990s. Countervailing duty and special additional duty were also introduced in lieu of excise and sales tax respectively. India also rationalized its structure of customs duty in line with WTO guidelines, which aimed at free trade. Customs - GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India Excise - GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India Excise Excise is a levy on manufacture. Initially, there was a separate Act for each commodity. By 1944, there were 16 such enactments. A need was felt to consolidate these and the Central Excise Act of 1944 was introduced. Later, in 1986 the Central Excise Tariff Act was made effective for classification of goods in line with International Standards (Harmonized System of Nomenclature). MODVAT was introduced in Excise in the year 1986. It aimed at avoiding the cascading effect of taxes. The coverage of MODVAT was expanded over time. Presently, it is known as CENVAT. CENVAT allows the cross-utilization of credit across Excise and Service Tax. Service Tax Service tax is a levy on provision of services. It is a central levy. It was introduced for the first time in India in the year 1994, when only 3 services were made taxable. Its scope and coverage were constantly expanded, and by 2012, 117 services were brought under the tax net. Thereafter, the positive list regime was replaced by the negative list regime, where all services except those specified were made taxable. The present rate of service tax is 15%. The concept of CENVAT is also present in the present regime of service tax, which lowers / eliminates the cascading effect. The present scheme of CENVAT combines the credit in respect of Excise and Service Tax, thereby enabling cross-utilization. For detailed understanding of Service Tax, following pages may be visited: Service Tax Referencer Service Tax Presentations New Jurisdictions Krishi Kalyan Cess & Swachh Bharat Cess Analysis Budget 2016 Service Tax Articles Service-wise Implications Tax News Updates Service Tax - GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India Sales Tax - VAT - GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India Sales Tax Sales tax in India is a state levy. The VAT mechanism was introduced in Sales Tax in the year 2005. Other levies Various other levies such as luxury tax, entertainment tax, stamp duty and entry tax exist presently which make the system complex. Luxury Tax - GST in India – Goods and Services Tax in India Problems in the Present Structure The present system of indirect structure is marked with the following problems: Multiplicity of Taxes Presently, there are a number of taxes, some of which are levied by the Centre, others being levied by States. This multiplicity makes it complex to comprehend the law. Cascading Effect The present system has various instances where a tax is levied on tax, thereby resulting in cascading effect. For example, VAT is levied on the value of goods inclusive of Excise. Non-Availability of Cross-Credit There is non-availability of credit across different laws in most of the cases, especially between the Central and State levies. For example, credit of VAT is not available against central excise or service tax and vice-versa. Similarly, credit of CST is not available against VAT. Double Taxation Interpretational issues among the various levies result in double taxation in certain industries. For example, overlapping of the definition of goods and services is seen in case of restaurants. Hence, it is doubly taxed as VAT and service tax both are levied. Multiple Compliances Presently, different laws exist for different levies. Therefore, compliances have also been prescribed separately for each. This makes it difficult to meet the compliance and payment deadlines, and makes it difficult to focus on core business activities. Further, different records have to be maintained for each Authority. Proposed System of GST in India Various models of GST are followed across the world. India, being federal in its structure, needs to maintain the fiscal autonomy of the States. Therefore, concurrent dual GST has been recommended for India by the Empowered Committee. This means that the GST will have two components, one levied by the Centre (CGST), the other levied by States (SGST). Both such taxes will be levied concurrently all supply of goods and/or services. However, inter-state supply of goods and services will attract Integrated GST (IGST) in lieu of CGST and SGST. Input tax paid would be set-off against the output duty liability in the prescribed manner. This would ensure seamless flow of credit and minimized cascading. Benefits of GST in India GST regime is expected to bring in the following benefits: Simplification As GST consolidates a number of taxes, it will result in significant simplification. The interpretational issues such as overlapping of the definition of goods and services, multiplicity of definitions etc. will be minimized. Further, compliances will be integrated. A simple and efficient Portal is being developed to ensure that most of the compliances are done electronically over this Portal. Common market The distortions in the taxation structures of different States hinder the development of India as a common market due to the existence of an unhealthy competition among the tax rates of different states. Introduction of GST will project the image of India as a unified market, and the distortions in tax implications of doing business in different States will be minimized. Cheaper goods Seamless flow of credit, lower cascading effect, removal of double taxation and availability of cross-credit are expected to lower the cost of production, which will in turn lead to reduction in prices if the benefit of reduced costs is passed on to the consumers. Boost to GDP growth Introduction of GST is expected to give a boost to business and attract foreign investments. This will in turn give a boost to the growth rate of GDP in India. Simplified administration A single tax in replacement of multiple levies will significantly bring down the costs and efforts spent by the concerned Governments in administration. GST so far in India The journey of GST so far has been presented in the GST Timeline. The Constitutional Amendment Act has been passed. Thereafter, GST Council also has been formed, which is in the process of discussing various aspects of GST in India such as GST rates, exemptions, etc. The GST bills are expected to be presented in the Parliament in the winter session. For the details of form and manner in which GST will be issued, various laws, reports and guidelines have been issued by the Government. GST Portal www.gst.gov.in has been made live for migration of existing assessees.

Believe it or not, eyebrows are undoubtedly the most important feature on your face. The right brow shape can completely transform your look, so we tapped celebrity makeup artist and beauty expert Tracy O'Connor for her insider tips and tricks of the trade. Check out her pro pointers to make sure your look shapes up!
Natalia Vodianova
Model Natalia Vodianova masters the art of the "no-makeup" makeup look. O'Connor breaks down this look and tells us why it works: "The lip color is very sheer and just a shade darker than her natural color. The brows are full, but light in color and groomed. What brings her look to life and adds dimension to her face without bold color, is the subtle sweep of bronzer along the hairline and cheeks."
Gareth Cattermole/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Kate Bosworth
Kate's look is soft, feminine and keeps the focus on the eyes. "To achieve this look, it's important to perfect the skin first. Choose a liquid foundation with great coverage and light-reflecting qualities to give the appearance of flawless, creamy skin. Complete the angelic look by choosing a nude lip color and a hint of blush just a shade darker than your skin tone. A confident stroke of black liquid liner on the eyes completes the look.
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Brooke Shields
Brooke is known for her thick, full brows – and there is no exception here. Because her brows have so much volume, she's balanced their fullness by also pumping up the volume on her lashes. This way, the brows don't overwhelm and shrink the eyes. Want to try this at home? Tracy O'Connor explains this look can be yours by applying 6-8 'flare' lashes to each eye and finishing with several coats of black mascara.
Vince Bucci/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Characteristically, Madonna has very dark brows. But here, she's chosen to lighten them up a little, to just a few shades darker than her hair. "When lightening the brows, it's important not to go too light. Madonna's brows are a perfect illustration of how to lighten the brow so they don't dominate the look, yet maintain definition."
Stephen Lovekin/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Carine Roitfeld
As the former editor of French Vogue, Carine Roitfeld has an effortlessly cool, edgy look. Her brows are significantly darker and ashier in tone than her hair color, and the distinctive smoky, smudged eye makeup adds intensity. O'Connor says, "If you want to try out this look, but don't want to commit, get a rich brown mascara and sweep across your brows. This will deepen the color, minus a trip to the hair salon."
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Freida Pinto
Frieda's exaggerated side part nicely complements her heart-shaped face and showcases her perfectly arched brows. The rich browns and neutrals used here on her eyes accentuate the warm undertones of her natural features, keeping the look simple, yet glamorous.
Chris Jackson/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Kate Hudson
Kate looks understatedly elegant and polished here. Warm brown, bronze and gold shadows set off her eyes and skin against her white dress. Her brows have been defined by a soft shadow, leaving her overall look bright and sun-kissed.
Kevork Djansezian/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Carey Mulligan
Carey's blonde pixie cut boasts short-fringed bangs, which creates the perfect frame for her delicate features. By creating ample space between the brow and the bangs, her eyes steal the spotlight.
Kevin Winter/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Kerry Washington
Although Kerry typically wears her hair shorter, the actress switches up her look here wearing it loose with beautiful waves. The movement in her hair draws attention to her gorgeous bone structure and gives her a feminine look. Her shapely defined brow keeps it flirty.
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Keira Knightley
Keira's chin-length bob and relaxed waves evoke a vintage flapper look, but its imperfect nature and slightly tousled texture keep it modern and fresh. Her brows are full, and rich in color, which adds a bit of drama to her look. According to O'Connor, "this style is best-suited on a heart or oval face shape, rather than a rounder, fuller face shape."
Tullio M. Puglia/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Eva Mendes
Eva's brows have a gorgeous, seductive arch. O'Connor tells us that this look can be achieved by using a highlighting shadow just above and below the brow to accentuate the shape and further define the brow. Don't forget to choose a shadow that is a shade or two lighter than your skin tone for the most natural look.
Christopher Polk/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Megan Fox
Megan's eyebrows are bold and seductive, thanks to their perfect shape and fullness. Want to copy her look? O'Connor adds expert insight: "To add volume or to create a more dramatic shape and the illusion of a perfect arch, brush the brows upwards. To achieve a similar look choose a warm-toned shadow (one shade lighter than the brow color) and trace the brow line," she says.
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Angelina Jolie
Angelina's brows are defined, well-groomed, yet soft and stunning. Beauty expert Tracy O'Connor notes that her brows have actually been lightened a shade lighter than her hair. This effect opens the eye area and creates a very feminine appearance. To further enhance and brighten the area, she has added a few 'flare' false lashes to the corners of the eyes.
Jason Merritt/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Denise Richards
If you are blessed with naturally full brows like Denise, this look is easy to achieve. O'Connor offers these tips: Brush your brows, gently cut any hairs that are unruly, and set with a clear, matte wax. Lip balm or something similar in texture will do the trick. Avoid brow gel as it can leave the brows shiny and unnatural looking.
Theo Wargo/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Dita Von Teese
Dita's iconic look is 40s glamour girl. "To achieve a similar look, avoid waxing the brow and simply tweeze any stray hairs. The brows are elegant and groomed, yet still natural. You can see they are not penciled on and yet retain a very soft shape. Evocative of Elizabeth Taylor, the striking contrast between her porcelain skin, dark brows and red lip, is classically beautiful," comments O'Connor.
Dimitrios Kambouris/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Camilla Belle
Camilla's loose, sexy hair and vibrant outfit take center stage here, while her natural beauty shines through. Her flawless skin, natural lips and defined brows are timeless, while an unexpected pop of colored liner adds a fun, flirtatious and youthful vibe.
Frederick M. Brown/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Halle Berry
Halle's cropped pixie cut is her signature look. To keep this hairstyle soft and feminine, O'Connor recommends subtly defined brows that are a shade lighter than your hair color. On Halle, her beautiful brows emphasize her flawless bone structure and golden complexion.
John Shearer/Getty Images Entertainment/Getty Images
Natalie Portman
Natalie's full brows have less of an arch than other stars we've seen, and are actually evocative of Audrey Hepburn. Here, they are simply brushed, straight in shape and no shadow or pencil has been added. Because the brows are not overly dramatic, the emphasis is on Natalie's eyes.

WWIIOL:Battleground Europe Development Update - May 2011
Written by MOTORMOUTH
Public and Community Relations Manager, Playnet Inc.
2011 has been a big year for Cornered Rat Software when it comes to overhauling and updating WWIIOL. Our new infantry model hit the battlefield a couple of months ago and has had a big impact on the look and feel of the game. But we're not anywhere near done. In a continuing push to improve the game, the team has dug deep into the code to clean, update, kill and streamline the way the game works. Is this sexy? On the surface, not so much. But the new technologies and features that it let's us bring to our players is most assuredly sexy as all get out.
Most of what we're working now on is updating and refining Host and Core technologies as well as bug fixes. Eleven years have passed since the original coders sat down and started creating what was then something unique. Many of the issues we have today with CTDs and MR.P (Mission Results Pending) are caused by outdated Host code. Time to rip it out and build something spiffy.
Here's some stuff that's in development. Some is for 1.34, some is for later down the road.
* New Battles Tab
* New permanent MMHost connection which opens the door to many, many things including fixing MrP and the locked personas
* Improved host performance for improved infantry updates and smoothing
* Complete rework of the update system
* Cell host efficiency / performance for US and China
* Quality of infantry game lay experience for BE
* Resolution of many long standing online issues (strange states, warping, stuck firing, etc)
* Strat/map updates without clicking
* CP and Facility messages Host -> Client directly
* Replaced the underlying "Grid" system with clone of the Chat Grid system
* Replaced the "biasing" system with a highly optimized version that processes an entire vis list at a time rather than a vehicle at a time
* Vehicle "remove list" sent independently to client
* Time and Weather updates sent independently to client
* World Update packer on host is now single-pass rather than multiple-pass
* Fixes stuck firing bug
* Eliminates a number of potential state bug causes
* Increases cell host efficiency by 10-15%
* New system now working on dev cluster with other players visible, mobile and most importantly very smooth
* OIC (Officer in Charge) changes:
Formalizing and coding in a new Brigade OIC role. A variation on the Volunteer Brigade OIC, it will allow interested players to run through an automated training and testing that grants them authorization to step into the Brigade OIC role without being in the HC. This eliminates the need for an HC officer to approve of a volunteer OIC over and over again. While not technically in the HC, it can be a jumping off point for interested players who can move onto more advanced training.
* Bringing the HCTool in game
The current tool set is old and breaking down and is hosted outside the game. We'll be moving the essential tools into the game for ease of use and maintenance.
* Improved Event and Scenario tools
The idea of bringing the events and scenarios into the UI and creating a whole set of events that can be quickly designed and executed is something we're excited about. With the help of BEGMs Xiper, we're getting close to having the ability to set up and run some kick ass events much easier than we can now.
* New emote system
Stripped out of the recent infantry remodel, there is a new library of emotes we're looking at bringing in.
* Increased performance from new compile as in 1.33.1
Always great news!
* Future upgrade to OpenGL 3.2 (latest stuff)
* Revisiting the PPO feature and evaluating what should be looked at next including more infantry PPOs and possible extension of the feature to include naval (boats and inf) play. Though nothing is slated for release on that we expect that the turnaround time will be pretty short for these
There's even more stuff in the works. Stay tuned for Part 2 next week.

Short notes - New MyFRITZ!App version for increased security
AVM Content
New MyFRITZ!App version for increased security
AVM has released a new version of MyFRITZ!App for both iOS and Android. With MyFRITZ!App, FRITZ!Box users can access their FRITZ!Box on the go. The new version of the app offers enhanced protection against potential man-in-the-middle attacks (MITM) when using the MyFRITZ! service in the form of an app.
Even before the release of this new MyFRITZ!App version, AVM had assessed the risk from MITM attacks as small. This assessment is based on the Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS). The CVSS is an internationally recognized set of criteria used to evaluate the risk posed by various security issues. On a scale of 0 (low) to 10 (high), the risk from this type of attack is rated at 0.8.
An MITM attack would have been possible only in cases where an attacker was signed in to the same wireless network as the app user. If the MyFRITZ!App had been accessed then, it would have been possible for the attacker to forward the data traffic to their proxy server and read it there. With the new version of MyFRITZ!App, this is no longer possible and a FRITZ!OS update is not necessary.

This is highly inaccurate because Nigeria is highly assertive. It's actually a trait shown through media, in our homes and how we stand up for ourselves. In a place like America, we learn to play the non-assertive role not because that's who we are but because we have an end goal and challenges are just temporary to us communciation-wise.
A lasting impression from my trip to Indonesia is the pleasant smiles and accommodating nature of the locals I interacted with. In contrast, within hours of my arrival in Lithuania, a store check-out clerk brashly told me "No, no, no!" as I unknowingly attempted to purchase something I was not supposed to.
Both of these examples represent the cultural value of assertiveness. Cultural assertiveness reflects beliefs as to whether people are or should be encouraged to be assertive, aggressive, and tough or non-assertive, non-aggressive, and tender in social relationships. When you experience a cultural assertiveness that is different than your own you often feel discomfort. It is also easy to judge the behavior as inappropriate (either too passive or to aggressive). However, these are just cultural norms that define how things are done. After spending time in Lithuania, I have grown comfortable with their direct nature as I have learned that assertiveness does not mean the same thing as being uncaring or rude.
The chart below illustrates some of the most common differences between cultures or individuals with high and low assertiveness. At the bottom of this blog you will find a reference chart which provides specific results for the 62 countries in the GLOBE study.
This idea is supported by Howard Guttman in who specializes in workplace conflict. He believes that one of the sources of conflict is because of differences in our communication style. He labels these styles on as non-assertive, assertive or aggressive (see diagram below). When we encounter someone with a different style than our own, we often feel like a conflict is occurring rather than identifying it as a difference in our styles.
Whether in your workplace or in your travels, you have experienced differences in cultural assertiveness. As Canadians (a mid-assertiveness culture) who are living in the United States, our family has had to work to adjust to the high assertiveness of the US Culture. We cannot rely on others to ask us about ourselves and have to initiate more than we are used to. While it can be frustrating to adjust to different norms, it is a requirement of living in an increasingly global society.
As you understand differences in cultural assertiveness you can:
- Become self-aware: What is your cultural assertiveness norm? Where do you believe your communication style sits on Guttman's scale?
- Validate your assumptions: Ask others the same question to see if your self-evaluation matches their experience.
- Assess your environment: How does the cultural assertiveness of your situation differ from your own. How do you need to adjust or act in this situation in order to be successful?
- Adjust: Learn to behave outside of your natural comfort zone.
I would love to hear examples of assertiveness differences you have experienced!

There are many excellent "self-healing", therapies that you can learn which allow your body to heal itself. My sister, Lorna Chant, a retired scientific research assistant, is gifted in self healing, and constantly amazes me with new healing techniques that she always enthusiastically passes on to me.
Lorna is certified in BodyTalk and offers services both in person and occasionally long distance. After a successful career in science, she first became a Reiki Master, a hands on healing practice used around the world. Recently, she has added an intriguing therapy called BodyTalk.
What is BodyTalk?
BodyTalk is a simple and effective healing system that allows the body to heal itself. The body knows how to heal itself. When we cut our finger, our body's innate healing ability takes over without us thinking about it. All of our cells (over 50 trillion of them!) are in constant communication, and a perfectly balanced body-mind complex is designed for health.

Feast your eyes on the original High Roller.
In terms of practicalities, the High Roller is made with highly durable material built to last. We have tested it ourselves and can confirm that it will withstand many disgruntled airport workers. It also has plenty of space for all your ski and snowboard gear. Specifically, it will hold two pairs of skis, or one pair of skis and a snowboard.
The High Roller also contains pockets for all your important swag, such as goggles, gloves, jackets and pants. You can even fit your helmet and boots in it, or a small cat. Either way, the High Roller is meant to be your one-and-only ski travel bag.
For those looking to up their game to the max, we recommend you combine the High Roller with the gangsta Fat Bag. That's because these two go together like long-lost brothers. Seriously. With both bags in hand, you will have room for all your material needs during the winter season. Remember, we said material needs. :)
Dimensions: 195 x 38 x 18,5cm
Material: Polyester and Heavy Duty Plastic

There are plenty of adults that dread going to the dentist- myself included. I'm not sure what it is that started my dentist anxiety (maybe how much it costs!?), but I know I don't want my kids to feel the same. We have been taking the boys to the dentist for a few years- ever since H (at the tender age of 3) broke his front tooth and had to have it removed. I quickly realized that having a stress free dentist visit would come largely down to what I did and how I acted- these are a few of the things I did to help the boys feel comfortable at the dentist.
I used to do a lot of 'if you don't brush your teeth the dentist will have to give you a filling', and 'ooh the dentist is going to be cross with you', but I stopped pretty quickly when I realized that a) it wasn't working and b) it was just going to make them scared of getting their teeth checked.
When we first took them to get their teeth checked I talked to the kids about what would happen. I explained to the boys what the dentist chair does, that the dentist would put glasses on their face and ask them to open their mouth and that it needed to stay open while he checked their teeth. We are lucky that we have a fantastic dentist and dental nurse that are not only great with kids, but explain what they are doing so the kids don't freak out, and make it as fun as they can.
Just a note- if your child is having a filling or needle, I wouldn't tell them they are- I'd just say that the dentist needed to check something, and to close their eyes and have a rest so they don't see the tools etc
Another thing I did when both the boys had to have little fillings last visit (I cried when I was told- they floss and brush and yet STILL had a cavity!), is I bought them each a small toy that they wanted and gave it to them when they sat in the dentist chair. I talked to them about how they just needed to close their eyes and give their teddy a cuddle while the dentist checked their teeth again (I didn't tell them they had to have a needle, and neither realised it had happened because the dentist used numbing gel first). They were so busy concentrating on the gift they didn't really pay attention to what was going on
So far we haven't had any drama when going to the dentist. I think if the kids were really shy, I'd probably take them with me for a few of my checkups so they could see what goes on, and that it's no big deal- but only if I didn't have to have anything done! with the way I stress out in the dentist chair, it probably wouldn't do much to reassure them!!

Back in April of this year on this blog, we wrote about several business leaders, all veterans, who are now or have been captains of industry. We wrote about, for example, how FedEx was founded by Marine Corps veteran, Fred Smith and how the company is the 10th-largest private employer in the United States. Despite this accomplishment by a Marine Corps veteran and similar achievements by veterans of many of branches of the military, some recruiters fail to see how skills obtained while serving this country translate over into the civilian workforce. This is unfortunate. Here are just a few of the many, many important skills that members of the armed forces acquire that can be used in the civilian workforce as well.
- Leadership: No organization can thrive without strong, effective leadership. Leadership requires strategic planning, intelligence and the ability to inspire others to be their best. Sounds like any organization you know? These attributes are gained through service in the military as are problem-solving skills.
- Communication: Employers need and appreciate managers who can communicate to their subordinates exactly what is required of them in an unambiguous manner. Effective communication skills help in all job interactions and help in the task of goal setting and mission execution.
- The ability to follow orders: The ability to follow orders is an integral part of every workplace environment no matter what your position is in that company. This and obedience are instilled in people who serve in the military from basic training onward.
- Problem solving: Effective problem solving skills are some of the most important assets a new hire can bring to a job. The ability to think on one's feet and adapt when things go wrong are all part and parcel of effective problem solving.
- Teamwork and collaboration: Most employers aren't looking for iconoclastic individuals who want to go their own way. That is because in nearly all of life's endeavors more can be accomplished through teamwork and cooperation.
Yes, all these are so-called "soft-skills" that easily transfer over into the civilian workforce. They are a part of a skill-set that each recruit learns and carries with him/her for his/her entire life. The acquisition of this knowledge is a reason to be proud of serving in this country's military. You can also express your pride in the Corps when you purchase an item from our USMC store. We have many items from books and videos to clothing and Marine Corps jewelry.

Lies We Tell Ourselves by Robin Talley
This review will contain spoilers, as usual. I've tried my best to make this as accurate as possible, but if I've said something wrong in any way, please let me know.
I got this out of the library for the second time to re-read and review, because it's worth getting out of bed for. It's even worth going outside for. And that's something I don't do often.
Before I begin, I want to mention how this book won the 2016 Carnegie Medal. Which automatically means it's great. And once I read it, it proved that the ongoing trend of quality and award winners hasn't been broken yet.
Lies We Tell Ourselves is set in 1959, in the middle of America, at the same time as the battle for civil rights. As someone that's interested in history, I loved knowing all the historical context behind the setting of this story. It gives the novel another layer, as you know that it's just a little sliver of a tale in the middle of a major historical event that people learn about in depth for GCSE coursework.
But this story doesn't dismiss the battles going on, in fact it uses them as an integral part of the story. One of the main characters, Sarah, is a black girl becoming one of the first students at a previously all white high school. The school itself – Jefferson High – is completely fictitious, but as Talley explains on her website, the inspiration for it comes from the Norfolk 17 (click the link for more information, I hadn't heard about them before I read this book so I'm hardly qualified to explain them to you myself).
The book centres around Sarah, along with a segregationist's daughter Linda. At least to begin with, these two are at odds with one another. Linda has lived all her life in an all-white environment, and she's been brought up to look down on them. However, they start to develop a less hostile relationship as they realise their feelings for one another. Of course, due to the simultaneously homophobic and racist situations at the time, these feelings are mostly quashed. At least until they end up kissing each other (I squeed at this part, even though things aren't easy from then on).
That's the main reason why this book is so great – it's realistic, like most of the LGBT+ books that I've reviewed so far. Sarah is even more hostile to Linda after the kiss, and they're both even more reluctant to express their feelings.
There's also a significant undertone of sadness, especially after Sarah's friend Chuck is assaulted and killed, whilst at the school. It comes just at the right time, to remind you that this story is less about the romance between two girls, and more about the significance that bridging the gaps that society makes for us.
Each chapter title begins with either a Truth, or a Lie. These all remind you of the extraordinary bravery that you would have to face as a young black student, going to a previously all white school for the first time. It's impossible to read this with a blank face. You have to feel something for all the characters, no matter who they are.
Overall, again, 5 stars, wholeheartedly. I tend to give a lot of 5 star reviews…

From the desk of Victor Pride
Subj: How to be the boss
I recently received this question from a B&D reader…
What kind of relationship should a boss have with employees and interns? I feel as if they start to take advantage if you are too friendly with them, but if you are cold and too professional they do not approach you and are reluctant to ask for help or to inform you about bad news."
I'm from the world of D.I.Y.O.D.S.
Do It Your Own Damn Self.
I've never asked anybody for anything, I've never had a mentor, I've never looked up to anyone, I've never been an intern and I never knew what interns are supposed to do.
So I never even thought of having interns until I met C. in Indonesia…
I liked him right away and he said he wanted to come out to Bangkok to do some good work with me.
After I made him jump through some hoops I said sure, no problem. He was great so when Sam wanted to come out to Vietnam to do some work, I did the same.
I've never asked anyone to intern for me, they always come to me. Over the years I have had several more interns, starting with C. and ending with Red Steve.
They think they can handle life with no net. I have always made it my duty to ensure the opposite…
I don't know what the job of an intern is so I only ever did two things:
- Try to teach them little by little
- Try like hell to make them quit
I don't build them up like Tony Robbins, I break them down like Gunnery Sergeant Hartman.
Interns have to be broken down and built back up from the ground, especially the ones with college degrees. I've found the more schooling they have, the more useless they are.
My only goal with interns is to make them strong or make them quit.
It is very pointless to teach them too much, too fast. They won't retain it, they will become overwhelmed and quit.
If they're going to quit I want them to quit as quickly as possible, so I put them on non-stimulating work for a good long while.
The sooner they quit, the better for me because they are not usually a big help but a big burden.
I take them under my wing and slowly teach them the secrets of the game through the kindness of my heart, I don't make any money from them.
But for them to learn the secrets of the game, they have to make it through hell…
Interning with me is like taking a journey into hell.
I run the game like a drill sergeant.
I am cold, distant, harsh, and feared, like a drill sergeant in the armed forces or a Don in an Italian crime family.
It is better to be feared than to be loved. Let them love their dogs, me they have to fear.
To master the game, the training must be severe.
If they can handle the severity of the training and not quit, they will form the patience that success requires.
Patience is the absolute key to victory in this game.
It takes a very long time to achieve the success you require, in the meantime you have to wait for it.
The hardest thing to learn in this game is how to wait.
Do the work… then what? Money rains from the sky immediately? Get real.
Everybody knows the secret formula: do work = get paid
But there is a middle part of that equation that gets overlooked…
Do work + wait a long time = get paid
Money rains from the sky about a year after you do great work.
What happens in the meantime? You have to learn how to patiently wait.
The waiting is the ultimate hell that they have to overcome.
Hard work is not the devil, waiting is the devil.
The young guns who "want it all yesterday" cannot handle the waiting.
So instead of waiting for success, which is inevitable if you do not quit, they quit and never achieve success.
My only job is to make them quit faster.
They think they're going to be experts in a week, well, think again.
I've been in this great game of blog artistry for seven years. Some intern is going to learn what I know in seven days? Get real.
It takes a long time to achieve success, and for many young men today it takes a long time for them to stop being entitled and impatient.
I will kill their impatience and entitlement or they will not be able to handle the hell I bring and they will quit.
The ones who do quit go on to do nothing. A quitter is a quitter is a quitter.
The ones who continue to do work for me go on to do good things, like Sam who is now doing great work with Vahva Fitness.
So how to be a boss?
Do everything you can to teach them the way and try like hell to make them quit every step of the way.
They have to learn to have patience, it is the most important skill to possess.
To learn patience they have to learn to be as Musashi.
No matter how tough, how hard, how blah you get…
This is how success is achieved and it is the only lesson anybody needs to learn.
Don't quit, especially when you want to quit. And if you do quit, you deserve everything you don't get.
For me, it is a fun game. When they quit, I win. When they last, I lose the game.
But no matter the outcome…
I always win in the end.
Ha ha.
Until next time.
Your man,
-Victor Pride
PS – Bold and Determined Vol. 2 is your example of never straying from the way.

The report by the National Center on
Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University suggested
that more Americans were abusing controlled prescription drugs
than cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants and heroin combined.
"Our nation is in the throes of an epidemic
of controlled prescription drug abuse and addiction," said
former health secretary Joseph Califano, chairman and founder of
the Center.
"New abuse of prescription opioids among
teens is up an astounding 542 percent," Califano said. "The
explosion in the prescription of addictive opioids, depressants
and stimulants has, for many children, made the medicine cabinet
a greater temptation and threat than the illegal street drug
dealer, as some parents have become unwitting and passive
The report was based on surveys of doctors
and pharmacists, personal interviews and focus groups and
analysis of national household surveys and census data.
The report said hundreds of Web sites
advertised and sold controlled drugs, often without prescription
and without regard to age so that teens and children could
easily get them.
The substances most likely to be abused
were opioids, or pain relievers like OxyContin or Vicodin;
central nervous system depressants such as Valium or Xanax;
stimulants including Ritalin or Adderall and anabolic-androgenic
steroids like Anadrol or Equipoise.
"The problem can be seen in every stage of
life: rich and poor, old and young, teens partying or cramming
for exams, stressed executives, women juggling the challenges of
work and care-giving, seniors struggling with illness and loss,
the mentally ill searching for relief, movie stars, rock
musicians and athletes," the report said.
It found that between 1992 and 2002,
prescriptions written for controlled drugs increased more than
150 percent while the number of people abusing them rose seven
times faster than the U.S. population.
In 2003, 2.3 million 12- to 17-year-olds --
almost one in 10 -- abused least one controlled prescription
drug. Girls were more likely than boys to be abusers.
Teens who abused drugs were twice as likely
to use alcohol, five times as likely to use marijuana, 12 times
likelier to use heroin and 21 times likelier to use cocaine than
teens who did not abuse such drugs.
The report also found that in 2002,
controlled drugs were implicated in almost 30 percent of
drug-related emergency room deaths while the number of
prescription drug emergency room mentions in hospital logs
increased by nearly 80 percent.
Law enforcement officials around the
country have been wrestling with an epidemic of prescription
drug abuse, especially of powerful pain killers like OxyContin,
popularly known as "hillbilly heroin."
The report found a 140 percent rise in
self-reported abuse of such pain killers from 1992 to 2003,
disproportionately concentrated in the south and west of the

Its The Little Things That Matter
In these hectic and stressful times, all of our days can use some simple pick-me-ups. With the everyday hassle of the daily grind, we often make the mistake of ignoring certain things to make our lives easier when we are in fact making everything a lot more difficult than it needs to be. Here are simple yet effective ways of changing the rest of your days:
Call Your Relatives
What better way to get you back on track than to call the people who hopefully love you unconditionally? Sure, they may be a pain in the ass at times, but nobody has become successful without first realizing where they came from. There is no better reminder about your goals than talking to the people you're trying to make proud. Call your mom, grandmother, uncle, aunt, anyone that has sacrificed to see you make it.
Eat Healthier
Do you really have to eat that double bacon cheeseburger? You couldn't settle for a grilled chicken sandwich? Not that you have to go on a diet and completely change the course of your life but you'll be surprised how much better you'll feel if you drink a glass of water rather than one of soda.
Fatty foods & bad carbs give nothing but empty calories that make us feel sluggish & tired for the rest of the day. Minor changes in what you eat can make a huge difference. It's not that hard to simply choose the healthy alternative once in a while. So if you're at lunch & know that you have another four hours at the office, settle for something light, filling & full of energy.
Write Things Down
Your brain is constantly getting bombarded by sensory information at any given moment. It's amazing that your brain is constantly picking up these cues from the environment & this cognitive functioning is always happening, regardless of whatever you willingly think.
Furthermore, human memory is extremely flawed. Our memory is a lot worse than what we think of it to be. Information tends to stay in our short-term memory for 15-20 seconds unless we voluntarily decide to think about it. Then and only then, will the new information be retained in our long-term memory.
Just write shit down. On the notes application, on the back of a napkin, anywhere. It will make it easier for you to come back to that million-dollar idea that could of been potentially lost in the clutter of your mind.
Listen To Non-Recent Music
One of the greatest moments of euphoria listening to a song can bring is when you can fully spit back the lyrics to a track. It's awesome that artists are constantly giving us new music, but try listening to some older tracks. It can take you back to a time in your life where all you could do is listen to those songs. Never underestimate the power of music & how it could transcend multiple stages of our lives.
Have you ever walked down a New York City block and noticed how grim & focused everyone seems to be? Other than the annoying ass tourists, no one is smiling nor does it seem that they have the time to smile.
Laughing is not only the best medicine to a shitty day but it's also contagious as hell. It's nearly impossible not to smirk at the sound of a laughing baby. Laughing has been scientifically correlated to make drastic changes in mood and add years to your life.
Look at Einstein! He'd been known to be the occasional goofball when not solving the physical mysteries of our universe.
Just laugh at anything. Everyday. Fuck it, even at the expense of others or at the expense of yourself. Laughter is a beautiful sound that brings us all together.

Welcome From Our Pastor
I welcome you to St. Luke's Christian Preschool! I am certain that you will benefit from the quality Christian education that St. Luke's has provided to families just like yours since its beginning in 1984.
The preschool is a ministry of St. Luke's Lutheran Church which seeks to reach out to the community with the Good News of Jesus Christ. Our ongoing purpose at St. Luke's is "to know God's love and to share It." Please join us as we look for ways to grow spiritually and fulfill God's purposes for us.
We have two distinctly different worship services each Sunday. Our 9:00 am contemporary service is led by our "Praise Band" (with singers, guitars, keyboard and drums). There are a lot of children at this service! Our 11:00 am traditional service is a more liturgical event, employing organ, piano, choir, and occasionally the harp.
Between services, at 10:15 am we offer a Mingle Time where we can fellowship together over coffee and conversation. We continue to offer a variety of learning experiences, including: Kids Club on Wednesdays 4:00 – 5:00PM, Confirmation for Middle School age, and other special interest group studies. In addition, we have activities for Families, High School, Middle School, and Elementary School children and youth. We also have many outside groups that use our facilities for their meetings. Toastmasters International, Alcoholics Anonymous, Compulsive Eaters Anonymous, Narcotics Anonymous and ISO Support Groups all meet here. Click here for a complete meeting schedule of the groups meeting at St. Luke's.

If you or someone you know is interested in partnering in our ministry by joining our church, please contact Pastor Garry, Candice Pearson, or the church office. We would love to have you on our team!
If you have no church home, I hope you will come and experience worship with us! I believe a connection to a church family will provide a solid foundation for your children as they mature.
I look forward to getting to know you and our ministry together!
In Christ, Pastor Garry F. Mohr

"So as evening approached…" (Mark 15.42)
As the pressure increases, the true identity of a person shines through. When situations get punchy, the true motives and identities show through. The old cowboy proverb says: "If your guts have turned to fiddle strings, it ain't good for you and it aint safe for me." When situations get tense, your first inclination is acted upon. When a bullfighter gets in a tight spot, if his focus is on the bull he will step around it. But if his focus is on self preservation its on stepping up on the fence. When Jake Joeckle is on a bronc, if he is about saving his skin, he double grabs; but too many times I have seen that kid lift on his rein and goes to spuring one. Why? Because safety-ing up is not in him and when situations get tense, he is going to give it his all, even If it means a little pain. When situations get tense, our heart tends to come to the forefront. Sometimes it means an action different from normal and other times it means our first inclination shines forth. In the situation of John 19, the true colors, outside of the political and social concerns, is acted upon.
The last twelve hours have been a blur. For Joseph and Nicodemus it has been a long and eventful day. The disciples have been a no show for quite some time. They deserted when the crowd showed up to arrest Jesus. Peter and John followed from a distance, but ever since Jesus arrived at the doorstep of Pilate before dawn, they have made themselves scarce. At the end of the passion narrative two guys come into the spotlight. For the gospel writers, they are not completely unknown characters but they certainly haven't been central to the story. Now they and their character are in the spotlight. Their contrast is striking.
On the one hand, there is Joseph of Arimathea. He was part of the Sanhedrin (Mark 15.33; Luke 23.50), but a dissenter in the case of Jesus (Luke 23.51). Apparently, he had not made a big plea in the case for Jesus before the Sanhedrin. It was, after all, a case in the early morning, a late night, and he was apparently in the minority. Despite his view, Jesus was destined to die with the vote of the Sanhedrin. From the wording of John it would seem that Joseph of Arimathea did not make a real strong push to get Jesus out of his sentence of death. He was a secret disciple. Usually the greek word for "secret" is translated as "hidden". A disciple in hiding until…
Nicodemus, on the other hand, is a vexing character in the book of John. He makes three appearances, which is uncommon for a minor character in a book that is clearly well thought out and planned. He visited Jesus at night in John 3. John never uses words without a plan and the night meeting was recorded to show something about the true identity of Nicodemus. For the remainder of his acknowledgments in the book he would never slip that meeting with Jesus at night. In chapter 7 of the book, as the Pharisees are discussing Jesus rise, Nicodemus tries to vouch for Jesus without tipping his hand. But even then he is introduced as "the man who had gone to Jesus earlier". (7.50) He tried to stick up for Jesus in a way. Now he shows up at the cross with Joseph of Arimathea. John says that he was "the man who visited Jesus at night" (John 19.39). Can you imagine your life being defined by the worst thing you have ever done?
They are two men who similarities abound. They both are members of the Sanhedrin; both with money; both invested in the honoring of the deceased criminal Jesus (Joseph giving his tomb [Matt 27.60]; Nicodemus with a significant amount of spices costing a great deal [John 19.39]); and both putting their reputations on the line burying a condemned criminal.
The burial had to done in a hurry. Jesus died around 3 pm and the sun was setting soon. His death, the quickness of it, took Pilate, the Centurion, and most other people by surprise. Joseph and Nicodemus didn't have a lot of time to ponder a method of action. They went to Pilate and asked for the body. They wrapped it in linen, packed it with spices, and laid it in a tomb. This was all done by dusk so that they could still celebrate the Passover.
It is amazing how, when we don't have the time to spare to think about how we will be perceived, our actions are true to our beliefs. Nicodemus has live the true politicians life; by remaining ambiguous on key issues, hiding his beliefs from the ruling class, and acting in secret. The abbreviated schedule, the approaching dusk, and the quick death of Jesus has brought him to decision time. What does he truly believe about Jesus? Is he worth honoring? Is what he said true? As a member of the Sanhedrin, he was privy to the scope of Jesus ministry, now how would he respond? Still, fear seemed to stand in his way. Despite his visiting Jesus after his death, one cant help but feel that Nicodemus missed the boat. Fear kept him from seeing all of Jesus. In the same way that Pilate traded a political career for a relationship with Jesus, so too Nicodemus seemed headed down the same path. As Mark Moore said, "the biggest thing Nicodemus ever did for Jesus, was bury him."
Joseph, by all indications was different. He was a disciple "in secret" only by John's account. He feared repercussions from the Jews by John's account. But in the haste of the situation and the rest of the Gospels, his true understanding of Jesus was brought forward. Joseph, by all other gospel accounts, was a disciple of Jesus. He has no negative comments amongst the other gospel. Despite John's description of him as a secret disciple, Joseph of Arimathea was waiting for 'the Kingdom of God' (Luke 23.51) and 'a good and upright man' (Luke 23.50). He faced his fear, risked his political career and asked for the body of Jesus!
In haste our true understanding, faith, and belief shine through? When quick decisions happen, how do you respond? Are you faithful when its easier to forget? Do you trust when its easier in the spur of the moment to turn
Joseph trusted in Jesus…his approach of Pilate, offering the tomb, and taking the body shows. Nicodemus, as it reads in John, seems to have missed it. His accolades, resume, wealth, and standing aside, missed it. Joseph, by testimony of the other gospels saw the truth in Jesus where Nicodemus hid behind his fear.
In times of haste, the truth shines through.
"So as evening approached", two men carried the body of Jesus, but only one man knew him.

I am having a problem with the buttons on the remote responding incorrectly.....for instance if I hit the back button to return to previous screen, instead I go to a completely unrelated screen and then the screen freezes up, then I have to go to guide and start over .
Wow...that sounds crazy, freewayah! When you're pressing the Back button are you pressing and releasing, or holding? The remote is designed to do different things depending on if it's pressed, or pressed and held.
I just press normally....this is a second remote used on the the same TV with hopper.My wife uses the other remote which is what came with installation.The 50.0 remote was from previous dish account
Also the problem occurs when pressing other buttons on the remote....responds incorrectly.
Does the other remote have the same issue? Have you tried to deprogram the remote and reprogram it to check if that helps? If not, the best thing to do is to manually deprogram it. To do this:
Press and hold the SAT mode button until all mode lights on the top of the remote light up. Once they light up, let go.
Then press and hold HOME and Guide at the same time for 5 seconds. If successful, you will hear three descending tones after five seconds.
To reprogram the remote:
Press the "Sys Info" button on the front of the Hopper.
The press the SAT button one time and let go. If successful, you will hear three ascending tones.
Let us know if that helps!
No the other remote works fine.I will use your suggestion and get back to you.......Thanks
Awesome, please let us know.
Fimally got around to try and fix remote issue using the suggested method,but did not work remote still responds to incorrect command.This 50.0 remote is the second remote programmed to the hopper,the remote works fine.
The other remote works fine I meant to say
I understand, freewayah. Can we look at the back of the main receiver that says Hopper. There is a small antenna at the back which helps with the remotes. Let's go ahead and unscrew it from the back to make sure that the copper wire isn't bent or broken.
Let's make sure that it's screwed on nice and tight, and pointing upwards. Let me know if this helps.

Synonymous with celebration, why wouldn't Champagne have its own official celebratory day? Let's raise a flute- perfectly served of course, thanks to Le Verre de Vin & Pod Bar, the only product in the world that can preserve Champagne once opened.
While there are many excellent sparkling wines from around the world, Champagne only comes from Champagne, France. This exclusivity has not hindered the popularity, and customers' expectations for an exceptional Champagne by the glass menu are higher than ever. UK customers will spend in excess of £250 million on Champagne this year, and a Le Verre de Vin system allows preservation of opened Champagne, meaning that for your customers every day can be Champagne day!
The Festive season arrives earlier each year- bringing fun and fizz opportunities in abundance. In fact, 40% of all sparkling wine sales this year will be between October and December, so what better timing is there to implement a broader Champagne by the glass menu. Utilising Le Verre de Vin & Pod Bar to eliminate the twin perils of waste and serving a bad glass will ensure satisfied customers and increased profits.
Take a look at these fantastic Champagne by the glass menus at the following prestigious venues:

60 Seconds with…Morris Lab
Our '60 Seconds with…' blogs are designed to provide a quick run down of what our staff do here at Itad. Here is what Morris had to say…
What's your job here at Itad?
I'm a Project Officer (PO) in a team of POs supporting Itad Project Managers to manage a portfolio of jobs and projects from implementation stage through to completion.
What does that involve?
Being a Project Officer involves checking and reviewing client contracts, drawing up subcontracts, checking and processing invoices, dealing with clients, sub-contractor and consultants communications and monitoring job progress & expenditure. We engage with most of the departments and therefore play an important role in facilitating the effective management of projects.
How did you get into the field?
I spent six months in South Sudan as a volunteer logistics officer coordinating the delivery of relief supplies to Sudanese people displaced by the internal conflict. This experience cemented my desire to pursue a career in international development culminating in a number of permanent positions with UK based NGOs supporting implementing partners to deliver education and health projects in Africa and Asia.
What do you enjoy most about your job?
The variety of the job, and interacting with a wide range of stakeholders. We are also allowed some freedom, creativity and flexibility to suggest and implement improvements. I also enjoy working as a member of a team – there are some new members in the team and we support each other a lot and exchange experiences and practices.
What new innovations/methods have you noticed in your sector?
A move to online systems for project management, financial management and communications.
Recent highlight?
Successfully passing my 3 month probation period and being told I ask good questions!
Most interesting fact you have come across in your sector recently?
I wasn't familiar with the term "Thought Leadership" prior to joining Itad. I think it's important to reflect on this – this ensures Itad devotes sufficient time and space for "Thought Leadership" in order to promote new ways of thinking, inspire people and become the 'go to' organisation and authoritative voice in our field of expertise.

Saturday was meant for some holiday gifts shopping. Christmas holiday shopping for me means ...procrastination. I got one secret santa gift out of the way... more or less because I came home and bought it online and hope it will arrive on time. I also ordered this personalized memory game online for my nephew which was guaranteed to arrive before Christmas. Yay. Instead of shopping for gifts, I checked out the Opening Ceremony sample sale on Saturday hoping to score some Proenza Schouler goodies but was disappointed by the sale. It was day 2 and probably all the good stuff was gone but I thought the men's selection was better in terms of casual wear because as usual, Opening Ceremony things for gals are a little too avant-garde for my everyday wear. So, I got myself a cozy men's large sized Opening Ceremony tartan plaid sweater which I love, a men's belt from N. Hoolywood 1/2 Mister Hollywood from Japan and some random $1 Sanrio cell phone charms to give to Dave's little cousins. They don't have cellphones but kids will find good use for them. Then I went to Chinatown to join Dave for some won ton noodles which he has been craving forever and then to REI to find something for my secret Santa giftee who is outdoorsy. Finally on our way back home, we realized that we had forgotten about the 3rd ward holiday craft fair and had an hour before closing to get there. Good thing it was only a 10 minutes walk. We have been attending the fair over the past three years looking for some unique handmade goods but each year, we end up buying nothing. I like seeing all the crafts and talking to the artists and also finding creative gifts so I don't know why I never buy anything. The artists are probably charged a leg to rent a booth and they also need to cloth and feed themselves so I should support them and purchase something next time. Maybe a $49 wood ipad holder? Wait, I do not own an ipad.
