Oftentimes business owners and officers encounter a blurry line between legitimate tax avoidance and illegal tax evasion. Corporate officers should be able to identify tax evasion and report this fraud. Here are common business owner criminal tax evasion techniques to look for:
1) Intentionally Under-Reporting or Excluding Income
This is basic tax fraud. Common examples include a business owner's failure to report part of a day's receipts or a landlord failing to report rent payments.
2) Personal Expenditures in Company Income Statements
The majority of privately held American companies are formed as pass-through entities including S corporations, LLCs, and partnerships. A pass-through entity means the income from the company is passed to the owners, who are then taxed at personal rates.
To fight high taxes many business owners aggressively attempt to reduce their rates. Some treat their companies as alter egos, concealing personal and family expenditures within their company's income statements. Personal expenses hidden into company income statements can include expenditures for their family's residence such as repairs, legal expenses such as estate planning, and even personal hobbies such as golf club memberships.
3) Mislabeled Transactions
Occasionally business owners try to label a transaction as something it is not. One common technique is to mislabel corporate dividends as "interest" in an attempt to qualify for a deduction.
4) Irregular Bookkeeping Techniques
Most accounting irregularities, be it a business' failure to keep sufficient records or the existence of two sets of books, crosses the line into tax evasion. Oftentimes, fraud occurs when a there is a discrepancy between the amount reported on a corporations' return and amounts reported on the business' financial statements.
5) Unqualified or Exaggerated Deductions
Examples include unverified charitable deductions, overstated travel expenses, and compensation paid to family members for work that did not occur

The Yankee Chef: Triple Chocolate Biscotti
Whether you call them Rusks in the British Isles, Biscotte in France, Zwiebacks in Germany, Biskota or Paxemadia in Greece, Mandelbroth in Israel or Sukhariki in Russia, they are enjoyed as a dunking 'bread' with your hot cocoa, but were (and still are in some regions) dipped in Vin Santo popularly.
1/2 cup butter or margarine
2 eggs
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup cocoa
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 cups flour
2 ounces white chocolate, roughly chopped
1 cup chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 375-degrees F. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and lightly spray with nonstick cooking spray. In a large mixing bowl, cream together butter, eggs, sugar, cocoa and baking powder until creamy, on high with a hand-held mixer or standing mixer, about 1 minute. Reduce speed to low and incorporate flour, a little at a time, until completely mixed in.
With a wooden spoon, stir in the white chocolate evenly. Divide dough into two uniform logs. Place logs onto prepared baking pan, leaving each a couple inches apart. Slightly flatten and bake 21-23 minutes, or until toothpick inserted into each log comes out clean.
Remove from oven to cool on pan for 5 minutes, reducing heat in oven to 350-degrees F. Slice each log into 1/2-inch wide slices on the biased(diagonally). Place back onto used baking pan, cut-side down, and continue cooking an additional 7 minutes to lower the moisture content.
Remove from oven to completely cool.
In the meantime, place chocolate chips in a large, shallow microwave-safe bowl and cook, on high, for 30 seconds. Remove to stir. If chocolate has not completely dissolved, repeat 15 more seconds and then again if needed. Stir until smooth. Dip the bottom of each cooled biscotti slice into the melted chocolate and place back onto waxed paper-lined pan, on its' side, for the chocolate to harden. If the bowl of melted chocolate isn't large enough to dip the biscotti into, simply spoon the melted chocolate onto the bottom of each.

When you need a live in caregiver, assess the requirements and benefits
In home caregivers or nannies have skills that others lack in. A caregiver has to be adept at taking care of special medical or health needs and help the child or elderly person at daily tasks such as bathing, eating, dressing, etc. There is quite a good demand for experienced in home nannies in Canada, especially for those who tend to suffer from severe health issues during the later part of their life, threatening to impair their independence. Such a person would also be required to take care of housework, cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping and other chores that need to be done. These are, of course, mentioned in their contracts with their employer, drawn with the help of a family member.
The first step would be to determine whether you need an in home caregiver or a live out one. There are two main factors to be considered: whether the caregiving has to be for a child or for an elderly person. If you are a family member of an elderly person who needs care then you need to make that decision while there's still time to employ a live in nanny. Taking into consideration the health and medical condition of the elderly person, you need to set the hours of help. This is where you decide whether to employ a round-the-clock help or a part time one. Is your relative in the state to stay alone? If not, then you know what kind of caregivers to employ.
The same considerations go into play when you are hiring a caregiver for your child. If you wish to avoid the rush of taking your child to daycare, then bringing them back, or wish to have complete control over the kind of company they get or the influence they are under, then live in caregiving should be your first choice. Moreover, your child will get exclusive attention and will be looked after all the time in healthy environment. You will also have someone to help you light chores and cooking. The cost variations of hiring caregivers are provincial and not heavy on the pocket.
Before this you need to asses if you are ready to employ a live in nanny. Consider your financial ability, space in home, location, etc. Will you be comfortable with the person? Caregivers with experience are aware of these situations and they know how to break the ice with their employers. There is one more important aspect to this. Do you want an international live in nanny or one caregiver who has gained permanent residence in Canada after two years of similar work or Canadian residents? In the first case, the cost of hiring will be lower and they will be more willing to work in-home. In the other two cases, while your privacy will be restored and you will have access to their track record, the benefits of hiring an international live-in nanny may not apply.
So, after due consideration to all these factors, employ a caregiver for an elderly person or for a child. You may want to take the help of a nanny agency which match your requirements with those of caregivers and assist in employing a suitable person.
Measure the pros and cons of employing a caregiver. Nanny agencies specialize in matching suitable caregivers and employers and simplify the process.

The masteries shown here are not yet updated for the current season, the guide author needs to set up the new masteries. As such, they will be different than the masteries you see in-game.
Hey guys, just wanted to let everyone know that this is my first guide and I'm relatively new to League of Legends, but this guide has been working for me, I've had tons of success since I learned how to build Tristana! If you guys have any feedback, or constructive criticism that you would like to give me, please let me know, any and all feedback is appreciated.
P.S. This is an aggressive build, play it that way, but don't get yourself killed being kited.
Thanks for reading,
Pros / Cons
Pros :
Heavy damage dealing
Not a squishy Tristana build
Fairly easy to figure out
When you learn how to play, soloing bottom is an option
You have the option to be aggressive
You can easily own, if you know how to use your ultimate
You have ridiculous attack speed
Cons :
You are squishy until mid - early late game
Your ultimate is tough to master
Gank squads usually come knocking at your door
When you push you'll die, unless you just take it and leave it (I suggest it)
Team Work
When pushing the bottom lane, if you have a support character with you, make sure you're both being very aggressive, not so aggressive you're dying constantly, but you should have some kills by the time you hit level 8 or 9. You both will have to be on top of things, if your support hooks someone, you'll want to use Rocket Jump to jump on top of the enemy, and Explosive Shot so that they're slowed and they have a damage over time effect on them, from there, you can try to use Rapid Fire and chisel their health away until you can use Buster Shot for the kill.
When farming, knowing when to attack is key. You're going to want to make sure you're as far away from the minions as possible, and always make sure your hand is on the right mouse button, be constantly moving, and wait until the creeps are one hit away from death, and shoot them. Make sure you constantly have your damage gauged, so you know how low they need to be for you to get the kill.
When playing Tristana you need to remember that you're not a tank, and that you're not invincible. You gotta know when to hold em' and when to fold em'. For beginning game bottom lane, see the Team Work chapter. Around level 12 or 13 your team and the opposing team will begin to roam the map more, since they know they can handle doing damage, and having items that are good enough for them not to die, and that make them able to push. You're going to want to be in with the Gank Squad, and make sure that you always come in either behind the enemies or behind your friends. You have Rocket Jump which when you land on an enemy slows them 60%, which means, when in gank squad if you use that your team will gobble the enemy up. Just make sure you remember the key points of combat.
Be aggressive, but not overly aggressive
Hit fast, hit hard
It's not a kill unless it's ultimate
When in doubt Rocket Jump out

Forex IB – Explanation to Certain Vital Questions
A much heard term in foreign exchange trading nowadays is the Forex IB. The first question formed in the trader's mind when he hears this for the first time is "What does this term mean?" Then another important thought arises - "Will I be benefitted from it? If yes, then how?" Trying to answer the first question, I will just try to explain the term. "IB" is the short form for "Introducing Broker." So we have a new jargon, giving rise to a new confusion. To make it easier, introducing brokers are sort of middlemen in currency trade. It is not necessary that a Forex IB will be an individual person; it can very well be a company or an organization. Be it an individual or not, they are full of information about the trade and very much resourceful. Though the term is "Introducing Broker," they do not act essentially as brokers. You can relate them to advisors and should value their advices as those are immensely important.
IB as Career
The actual concern of all the currency traders is, of course, to make money. So, basics are not more important than their practical application. So, let us deal with that most important thought that I mentioned above. Most of the forex affiliate marketing programs offer you an opportunity to work as an IB and it is more or less same as working as a forex affiliate. The only difference is that an IB has much more responsibility than an affiliate and you need to have a license. Besides referring a brokerage firm, you can train your clients and give them advices on the trade. A forex IB earns commission from the referrals he does to his clients. The commission can be in form of CPA or CPL or revenue sharing plan.
Facts to Consider
To gain high profits in forex affiliate marketing, you must deal with trustworthy brokers who are known to have good reputation. But, how do you know that you have found one? Here's a checklist – look for the address, check the phone number and search for the company's history if you can. Also you can learn about your broker from different forex forums. There, you can get in touch with people experienced in forex affiliate marketing and keeping in touch with them will surely help you out.
Always remember to look for the commission plan, because at the end of the day the thing that matters is surely money. That is why you are here. Many brokers will give you tempting offers of high commission and rebates. Of course, these offers have their own appeal, but you should know better to trust them. Most of the time, it turns out to be fake. Obviously, it will be unfair to think of all the brokers alike. The reputed and trusted ones never give you false hope and are of immense benefit. So, get associated with a good affiliate program and you will be able to know what success is.

76997-010 – TRIMMER,CORD-CORDLES Review
- Specially designed, stainless steel blades provide extra close hardness, and corrosion resistance.
- Snap on, snap off detachable blade system for flexibility
- Fine cutting teeth provide precise edging and outlining around neck, ears, beard, or mustache.
- Fashionable and ergonomic
- Sure Fit Charging stand has gripper feet to hold it firmly in place
This is my third Oster Clipper in this model. I am a Barber/Hairstylist and use this clipper everyday multiple times. I love the fact that it is cordless and holds its power. The T blade is a must for me, I need it for clipping the hair in the ears of my male clients and also if I carve anything in the hair. Oster has improved this last one I bought it is not as noisy and seems like the motor is more powerful than the last two I had. I found that you need to oil it often, I thought it was just getting sluggish and loud but all it need was a little oil on the blade. Love this clipper.

"Creating beautiful home spaces that feel good and nourish people has been a passion of mine for as long as I can remember. Drawn by the larger questions of how our living spaces reflect us, affect us, and support us, I discovered and pursued a more intuitive branch of feng shui (and little-known field at the time) called space clearing. That was twenty years ago. My journey as a "house whisperer" has since evolved into a mission: to change the way people relate to their stress and stuff, and teach simple ways to release it that lighten, enlighten, and last."
–Stephanie Bennett Vogt
In 1996 I walked away from teaching at one of Boston's preeminent schools at the height of a twenty-year career. I was at the top of my game, and burned out. I didn't know what I loved anymore, or who I was.
By releasing a huge part of my personal and professional identity, I was able to get in touch with the things that made my heart sing (and cringe): my passions, my longings, my fears… my clutter! For the super-organized neatnik that I am, this last revelation came down like a sledge-hammer to my self-concept and world-view.
"Turns out I didn't need to go on a pilgrimage or meditate on a mountaintop to find myself. My home became my temple, my clutter was my teacher, and my journey of self-discovery began with clearing out a single drawer."
Years of study, personal inquiry, and training with the World's leading experts in the field of environmental space clearing, personal clearing, feng shui, dowsing, clutter clearing, women's spirituality, and Svaroopa yoga led to two space clearing certifications [one with Karen Kingston, another with Australian dowser, Eric Dowsett] and the founding of SpaceClear, a teaching and consulting practice dedicated to bringing homes and their occupants into balance.
My journey has also led to various significant births in writing: two books – Your Spacious Self and A Year to Clear – and two book anthologies with authors Jack Canfield, Marci Shimoff, Dr. Joe Dispenza, Dr. Bernie Siegel, and others. My unique perspectives on simplifying, self-discovery, and letting go also appear on The Huffington Post, DailyOM, and other venues.
"Your Spacious Self took ten years to write.
The amount of time it took to decode and embrace
my own slippery relationship with my stuff and my
stress, and discover the secret why most
well-intentioned clearing practices don't last."
Besides writing, my other true love is teaching. With nearly forty years of experience, I have been privileged to offer long and short programs at world-class centers like Kripalu and the New England School of Feng Shui, and at international writer's and wellness conferences. I am especially proud of my two bestselling online courses on DailyOM, which, to date, count on over 80,000 participants combined.
Forty years in the healing arts includes the work of José Silva (the Silva Method); Usui Reiki as taught by the oldest living master, John Harvey Gray; study with the late Dr. Brugh Joy; Reconnective Healing with Dr. Eric Pearl; and the pioneering energy and Earth healing work of Rev. Desda Zuckerman, master dowser and teacher from Northern California.
"With all the inspiration that I've received through life experience, extraordinary opportunity, and study with brilliant teachers over the years there's no replacing the wisdom that simply comes from living life in present time, embracing the shadow when it shows up, and entering each moment with innocent curiosity. When I can bring these qualities to the table, I feel totally spacious—and complete."
After nearly two decades on this path I am excited to share what I know deep in my bones about clearing our homes and our lives; to offer resources that meet you where you are, and programs that transform a class "you take" into one that "takes you" on a revealing journey of who you really are.
In the true spirit of the word "remember" which means to call back and gather all of the missing parts of your self that have been lost or forgotten, I offer my best wishes in your journey of remembering, reclaiming, and experiencing your most spacious self.
Happy clearing!

Little to get pulses racing after Sky opts to play it safe
Yesterday marked a year since Alan Irwin, of Sky Sports News, in the course of bravely carrying out his Deadline Day duties in the field, was menaced by an overexcited Everton fan carrying a purple sex toy. "Hello, mum," suddenly didn't look quite so innocent and Sky reacted by withdrawing its reporters to more protected areas where no rogue photo-bomber could come at them with a marital aid.
Even before the pre-watershed closure dictated a tea-time feel on this occasion, the coverage had already been cleaned up and become more family-orientated — a bit like Las Vegas or Soho. Yesterday, when Irwin again had a problem with something in his ear, it was only his own earpiece.

Feeling Worse
keburns replied to lemonade's topic in Celiac Disease - Coping WithHi, Just an fyi...you're going through a withdrawal period. It usually takes 3 to 6 weeks before you even start to feel better, unless you're sensitive to all grains (including white potatoes). If that's the case, you will just feel worse as you ingest other gluten-free flours/grains in place of the wheat, etc. My 2 grandchildren and I are unable to eat any grains without a reaction of some kind (bone, muscle, joint pain, colitis, depression, whining, foul bowl movements, an so on). It was a nightmare when they were infants and daycare is a special challenge. Good luck. Karen
Supermarkets With Gluten-free Sections
keburns replied to GEF's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsHi everyone, Just an FYI about Jone's sausage. All brands, except for the maple flavored and the pork/bacon flavored are gluten-free. The two exceptions don't have gluten listed in the ingredients and my grandson and I wound up being pretty sick for a day or so after eating the pork/bacon links. I was pretty peeved when I called their 800# to find out that yes, indeed, they do contain gluten even though it's not listed on the package. I hope that the gluten-free labeling law gets passed, write your congressman! Karen
keburns replied to LisaRN's topic in Celiac Disease - PregnancyI have a gluten intolerance (diagnosed by a blood test, intestinal biopsy was negative). My husband has obvious symptoms of a gluten intolerance and has tested negative for all mainstream blood tests and intestinal biopsy. In desperation, I asked our doctor to test him for IGA deficiency, IGA transglutiminase, and HLA DQ2 & DQ8 (genetic markers for celiac). He tested positive for the HLA DQ2 marker only. I then called Miles-Kimball Laboratory and spoke to a geneticist regarding the genetic markers because our doctor thinks it's just something to look out for. According to the geneticist, if a person has obvious symptoms of gluten intolerance AND tests positive for either of the markers, Miles-Kimball considers that person to have a gluten intolerance. Celiac (intestinal damage) is the end result of an undiagnosed gluten intolerance. They also sell their kits (just swab your cheeks for cells) to the public. It's $292.00 for the kit and diagnoses (the diagnoses is what really costs, the kits are free), and for each subsequent kit ordered for family testing, the cost is reduced to $260.00. Hope this helps.

keburns replied to seeking_wholeness's topic in Gluten-Free Foods, Products, Shopping & MedicationsI would suspect the turkey, especially if it says there are natural flavors added on the ingredient label. If the mfr claims that the sausage is gluten-free then it's possible that you are reacting to the grain itself. Supposedly, if the grain is distilled, the gluten doesn't survive the distillation process and is therefore safe to use, as in white vinegar or mayonnaise. But, some people, and I am one, react to the grain used in the processing. For me, it's bone pain. Good Health, Karen

Allroad is too $$$$. I don't think fixing the road is an easy option: it's a public road and the rocks that do stick out are like iceburgs....only 10% is above the surface (judging this by the fact that a big road grader doesn't budge them) .....so it would be a major expense to "fix the road".

Product description for Beta Stick SPORT TECHNICAL from our collection of Outdoor Sports & Fashion:
The BETA STICK enables easily pre-clipping of ropes or quickdraws over a long distance.
It enables a karabiner or quickdraw carrying the live end of the ropeto pre-clip fixed anchors, usually bolts. It has a telescopic long reach pole, an anatomical head to hold the clipping karabiner securely and a simple but effective wire trap to restrain the karabiner gate and permit smooth clipping. Its main use is for pre-clipping the first/second bolt on sportroutes to reduce the risk of a ground fall.
For cleaning 'out of reach' holds on boulder problems - removing excess chalk and slime. The cleaning brush locates into a slot in the head, being held firmly in place with a wrap of Velcro and angled to allow effective brushing of slopers and edges alike. Brushing is possible at longer lenghts but it is difficult to apply any power and is not recommended beyond the three fattest sections. The brush can be easily removed for hand held use or to use the BETA STICK for clipping.

Spring Azure (Celastrina ladon)
|Durham Co., NC 4/3/05.
|Ashe Co., NC 4/16/05.
|Botetourt Co., VA 4/19/05.
Nearly identical to the Summer Azure (Celastrina neglecta), which was formerly lumped with them, these common butterflies don't fly during the summer. However, Summer Azures do also fly during the spring, so you can't assume any spring azure is a Spring Azure. Spring Azures are very similar to Summer Azures, but are slightly dingier below and are more of a violet-blue above.

"We invite everyone to donate a portion of their blood and be part of our humanitarian activity for the year. We also request everyone to invite any Person with Disabilities (PWDs) for our free wheelchair," said Fernandez.
The City Social Welfare and Development Office will assess PWDs whether they are potential recipients of free wheelchair which will be distributed on a later date. (Joseph C. Bacani/CIO)

Expressing the need for a description of communication that is equally applicable to all the social sciences, this report develops a general model of the communication process based upon the principle of convergence as derived from basic information theory and cybernetics. It criticizes the linear, one-way models of communication that have dominated past research for failing to represent the complexity of the communication process and identifies the hidden biases of these models, especially toward individual psychology and mechanistic explanations. After discussing the advantages of a cybernetic explanation, which uses the concepts of information, feedback, networks, and purpose, the author develops a further definition of information and meaning. Finally, a paradigm of communication as a cyclical process of convergence and divergence over time is presented. (Author/MM)

The mass exodus from conflict-torn Syria is having a massive impact on Europe, where a large portion of the five million Syrian refugees have landed after escaping their homeland.
Apparently, the mass exodus is also having a significant impact on everyone's favorite J.V. team. Now ruling over just six million people instead of nine million, the Islamic State's tax base has shrunk dramatically. And, accordingly, ISIS has suffered massive losses in revenue, which has dropped about 30 percent in the past year, according to a new report just released.
Via The Guardian:
Islamic State's revenues have dropped about 30 percent since mid-2015, forcing the group to introduce a range of new taxes, a research group has said.
"In mid-2015, the Islamic State's overall monthly revenue was around $80m," said Ludovico Carlino, senior analyst at IHS, which issues regular reports on Isis-controlled territory.
"As of March 2016, the Islamic State's monthly revenue dropped to $56m," Carlino said.
An IHS report also said oil production in areas controlled by Isis jihadists was 21,000 barrels a day, down from 33,000 barrels a day.
This was due largely to airstrikes by the US-led coalition and Russia, although IHS warned the decline was only an "interruption of production" because jihadists were able to repair infrastructure quickly.
The report said about 50 percent of Isis revenues come from taxation and confiscation of businesses and property, with 43 percent coming from oil.
The remainder is made up of drug smuggling, the sale of electricity and donations, the report said.
"The Islamic State is still a force in the region but this drop in revenue is a significant figure and will increase the challenge for the group to run its territory in the long term," Carlino said.
IHS said Isis had lost about 22% of its territory in the past 15 months and now ruled over six million people instead of nine million. This meant its tax base had become smaller.
So what's a barbaric, authoritarian state to do?
In response, ISIS has been getting creative, looking for new ways to extract money from the population in order to boost revenue. Among them everything from fees for installing or repairing satellite dishes, 'exit fees' for leaving a city — and fines for not being able to correctly answer questions on the Koran.
Sadly, only one of these sounds much different than the ways the liberal leaders of our own country extract money from the people to fund their own ideological initiatives.

A look at how the British left has responded to the Russian invasion of Crimea.
James Bloodworth takes a look at the various positions of the fractious British left on the Russian invasion of Ukraine
Labour shadow foreign secretary Douglas Alexander has just delivered his response in the House of Commons to foreign secretary William Hague's statement on the crisis in Ukraine. The statements from both sides were fairly predictable – both condemned Russian provocations – but the Labour foreign secretary was right to press the government on what action it plans to take in order to pressure Russia into pulling back from Crimea. This was especially important considering the revelations yesterday evening that the coalition is seeking to protect the City of London from any punitive EU action against Russia.
But what about the rest of the British left? Well, here we find a wide range of positions, from the Stop the War Coalition's apparent attempt to pin the entire blame for the Crimea affair on the West to Left Unity's somewhat abstract and blanket opposition to "foreign military intervention" and "foreign political and economic intervention".
The Labour Party
Douglas Alexander told the House of Commons that there could be "no justification for this dangerous and unprovoked military incursion". In terms of resolving the crisis, he insisted that firm measures were needed to apply pressure to Russia, saying that the international community needed to "alter the calculus of risk in the minds of the Russian leaders by…making clear to the Russians the costs and consequences of this aggression".
The shadow foreign secretary also mentioned the coalition's apparent unwillingness to upset the City for the sake of Ukrainian territorial integrity, saying he was "afraid the United Kingdom's words will count for little without more credence being given to these options and a willingness at least to countenance their use in the days and weeks ahead".
Green Party leader Natalie Bennett called on all sides to show "restraint", adding that the Russian Federation must be "put under pressure to abide by international law and respect Ukraine's territorial integrity and independence". If it failed to respect international law it should "expect diplomatic and economic consequences, and the international community needs to unite in agreeing and implementing those consequences", she added.
The Stop the War Coalition/Countefire – 10 Things to Remember About the Crisis in Ukraine and Crimea
Lindsey German of the Stop the War Coalition and Counterfire has written a lengthy 10-point post in which she tries to paint the Russian invasion of Ukraine as a rational response to NATO/EU provocations. There is a lot that's wrong with the piece, and you could do worse than read this take down of German's article in the Economist.
"Who is the aggressor? The obvious answer seems to be that it is Russia, but that is far from the whole picture…Ever since the end of the Cold War in 1991, the European Union (EU) and Nato have been intent on surrounding Russia with military bases and puppet regimes sympathetic to the West, often installed by 'colour revolutions'."
The Socialist Workers' Party – Putin Raises the Stakes in Imperialist Crimea Crisis
Much clearer in its stance has been the Socialist Workers' Party (surprisingly perhaps), which has condemned much of what has been taken as read by Stop the War Coalition and Counterfire as "Moscow propaganda":
"Those who claim Yanukovych's overthrow was a "fascist coup" are parroting Moscow propaganda. He fell because the section of the oligarchy who had previously backed him withdrew their support…Putin claims to be acting in defense of Ukraine's Russian speakers—a majority in Crimea and widespread in southern and eastern Ukraine. But beyond a parliamentary vote in Kiev to strip Russian of its status as an official language, there is little evidence of any real threat to Russian speakers." – Alex Callinicos, Socialist Worker
The Alliance for Workers Libery – Russian Trade Unionists and Leftists Oppose Invasion of Ukraine
The Alliance of Workers' Liberty has published a statement on its website from the University of Russian University Workers, which is unequivocal in its denunciation of Russian aggression:
"Declaration of the central council of the 'University Solidarity' union of Russian university workers:
"The central council of the "University Solidarity" union expresses its concern at the situation caused by the decision of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of Russia on 1 March 2014, granting the president of Russia the right to use Russian armed force on the territory of Ukraine.
"We believe that this decision does not help the defense of the Russian-speaking population of Ukraine and that it promises grave consequences. Support to the Russian-speaking citizens of Ukraine can be given by other means, by the means of state and popular diplomacy, by economic cooperation, by human rights."
International Viewpoint (Fourth International) – No War with Ukraine
Encouragingly, the Fourth International has also condemned what it calls the "foreign policy adventurism of the current regime" in Moscow:
"War has begun. With the aim of protecting and increasing the assets of the oligarchs in Russia and in Yanukovich's coterie, Russia's leadership has undertaken an invasion of Ukraine. This aggression threatens catastrophic consequences for the Ukrainian and Russian peoples – most especially for the population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and Ukraine's southeastern industrial regions…Today, the struggle for freedom in Russia is a struggle against the foreign policy adventurism of the current regime, which seeks collusion in forestalling its own end. The RSD calls on all sincere left and democratic forces to organize anti-war protests." – Statement from the Russian Socialist Movement
Left Unity – Against Nationalism, Corruption, Privatisation and War
Left Unity is an interesting one, and appears to draw a (false) moral equivalence between unwanted Russian military intervention in Ukraine and economic assistance requested by the Ukrainian government to support its ailing economy:
"The continuing political and economic crisis in Ukraine is taking a dangerous military turn.
"Left Unity takes the position that there can only be a political solution to this crisis and that neither foreign military intervention nor foreign political and economic intervention provide the answers to Ukraine's complex problems.
"Whether under the flag of US, NATO, Russia or the European Union, military intervention only ever makes the situation many times worse. So it is in Ukraine. The West's hypocrisy in condemning Russia for breaking international law is breathtaking: nevertheless, Russian troops hold no solution to the crisis."
Communist Party – Solidarity with the Communist Party of Ukraine
At the more extreme end, the Communist Party takes the Moscow line that the Ukrainian Euromaidan movement is 'fascist':
"The failure of EU leaders to uphold the 21 February Agreement on early elections has given sanction to a coup d'etat against a democratically elected government that threatens to destabilise the country and sets dangerous precedents for the future. The open involvement of US, EU and NATO leaders in the build up to the coup exposes it as part of the drive to change the geo-political balance in Europe in ways that threaten security and peace in Europe and the World… The Communist Party of Britain pledges its support to the Communist Party of Ukraine in its resistance to fascism, predatory capitalism and imperialism." – Robert Griffiths, CP general secretary
Workers' Power – Neither Moscow nor Berlin – for workers' internationalism
…as does Workers' Power:
"The bourgeois nationalist parties have taken power in an anti-democratic coup, using the fascist paramilitaries and rebellious police forces. Workers should make it clear they do not recognize the legitimacy of this government, its orders, the laws, and decisions of the counter-revolutionary Rada…The working class should not wait for outside intervention from Russia, nor allow the reactionary, undemocratic new regime to consolidate its power with the May 25 elections, held at gunpoint."

5 Responses to "What the British left is saying about Ukraine"
Jim Denham
A useful overview, which I've reblogged at Shiraz Socialist:
By the way: who is that horrible, right-wing Putin-apologist Liam Halligan, who I think was on the Today programme this morning?
James Bloodworth
Not sure. I've only just come across him. He writes for the SUnday Telegraph and (I think) the Economist.
Matthew Blott
He used to Channel 4's financial expert, wheeled out from time to time to counter the accusation the station is the broadcasting arm of The Guardian.
What would England do if Scotland broke away from the UK and suddenly we had our ports in a country which is now controlled by a disproportional extremist group? Would we be able to find a political solution or invade as the Russians have? I would argue the latter.
Liam Halligan deserves an article to himself. He writes a column for the Sunday Telegraph business section. Most articles are basically hawkish on inflation and in favour of tougher banking regulation but every so often he would write an article glorifying the Russian economy.
On the 8th the first weasel words on Crimea crept into his article on economics
"John Kerry condemned Russia's actions in Crimea, where it has long had tens of
thousands of soldiers legally stationed in Sevastopol and other military
bases, as "a brazen act of aggression"."
The implication was that Russian soldiers invading the Crimea was ok because they had the legal right to station troops there,
By the time of his article on the 15/4 it has turned to pure (but very carefully crafted) Putin propaganda.
Quite bizarre that the Sunday Telegraph is okay with this.
Liam's attitude to Putin is quite understandable given he lives in and makes most of his income from Mother Russia

Info concerning Southwest Texas Junior College SAT scores, and registering for elective discussion sections and seminars. As a student, your first stop should be the registrar's office, where you can pick up a free copy of both the academic calendar and course catalog, in order to find available credit classes that you may be interested in taking. You may be surprised that you can enroll for a full-time course load, without having to attend any 8am classes at all. Finally, check with the admissions office for assistance with prerequisites, tuition payment deadlines, and Southwest Texas Junior College sat scores information. Please use the form above to request admissions info for Southwest Texas Junior College.
For multiple-choice tests like the GRE Test or GMAT Exam, look at the number of questions and the total number of minutes you're allowed. If there are more minutes than questions, you have over a minute for each. However, if there are more questions than minutes, you better scramble, as you have under a minute on each question. Round off all numbers you see, and look for tips in the test questions that point you to the correct answer. Look for word patterns in the vocabulary section, and in the math section, saving just a few seconds on each test question can lead to a much higher math score.
Exams are a huge portion of your final grade, and every professor will let you know in their own way which questions will be on the final exam. They may raise the pitch of their voice when stressing certain points, show slide presentations, or write course material on the blackboard. On the test day itself, arrive early after a good night's sleep, and pick a seat near the windows in order to get sunlight and oxygen. Trust your first instincts, and don't change your mind on a second pass. Beyond degree requirements such as Southwest Texas Junior College test preparation, you may consider Point Park University course requirements for complementary electives to your primary course of study.

Deadline Looms for Gonzales to Clarify Testimony
Attorney General Alberto Gonzales faces a deadline to revise testimony before the Senate Judiciary Committee about domestic spying and other issues. If the chairman of the committee isn't satisfied, he may launch an investigation into whether Gonzales intentionally misled the committee.
RENEE MONTAGNE, host:
It's the deadline today for the attorney general to revise testimony he gave to the Senate Judiciary Committee. That testimony was about domestic spying and other issues. The chairman of the committee says if he isn't satisfied with Alberto Gonzalez's response, he may request an investigation into whether Gonzales intentionally misled senators.
Several Democrats on the committee have already said they want Gonzales investigated for perjury. They've asked the Justice Department solicitor general to appoint a special prosecutor. That puts the solicitor general in an uncomfortable and unusual position.
NPR's Ari Shapiro reports.
ARI SHAPIRO: These three former Justice Department officials all agree that solicitor general is one of the best jobs in the federal government. And they agree that right now they're really happy not to be him.
Professor DREW DAYS (Law, Yale University; Former Solicitor General): It's a very difficult situation in which he finds himself.
Mr. CHUCK COOPER (Former Solicitor General): I wouldn't want to be in his shoes.
Professor DOUG KMIEC (Law, Pepperdine University; Former Solicitor General): I'm certain the solicitor general would say, oh, but would this cup pass from me?
SHAPIRO: That's Drew Days, who was solicitor general under President Clinton, and Chuck Cooper and Doug Kmiec, both of whom worked under Republicans.
As solicitor general, you get to argue cases before the Supreme Court on behalf of the federal government. People sometimes call you the 10th justice, and as Yale Law Professor Days says…
Prof. DAYS: It has really the tradition of being removed from the day-to-day rough and tumble of politics.
SHAPIRO: The solicitor general is third in line at the Justice Department. During the three years that Days held the post that rarely came up.
Prof. DAYS: As solicitor general, there were few occasions when I served as acting attorney general, but that was for a matter of hours, in some cases, or a day at the most.
SHAPIRO: And you we're never asked to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate your boss?
Prof. DAYS: No. Thankfully, I was not asked to do anything remotely like that.
SHAPIRO: But that's what Solicitor General Paul Clement is being asked to do now. In the controversy surrounding fired U.S. attorneys, the top Justice Department officials are the subjects of an ongoing investigation. Clement is the most senior Justice Department official untouched by the scandal.
So, when a group of Democrats wanted a special prosecutor to investigate Attorney General Gonzales, they sent the request to Clement who is now acting attorney general in this controversy. Chuck Cooper says, although it's a difficult situation for anyone to be in…
Mr. COOPER: I know Paul Clement. He is a man of scrupulous integrity, and whatever responsibility his office calls upon him to do, he will do and do it according to all the facts and circumstances.
SHAPIRO: Even if that means initiating a perjury investigation into the attorney general. Cooper doesn't believe that step is necessary since the Justice Department's inspector general is already investigating related issues. This isn't the first time a solicitor general has been put in this kind of uncomfortable position. During Watergate, the attorney general and his deputy both refused to follow President Nixon's order to fire a special prosecutor. They were dismissed, which left the job to Solicitor General Robert Bork.
Professor NEIL KINKOPF (Law, Georgia State University): And Robert Bork carried out the order.
SHAPIRO: Neil Kinkopf is a Georgia State University law professor.
Prof. KINKOPF: That's sort of a black eye on the solicitor general's office, and Clement is being presented with an opportunity to go the other way and perhaps redress that a little bit.
SHAPIRO: Pepperdine law professor Doug Kmiec thinks the case just isn't strong enough to require a special prosecutor.
Prof. KMIEC: There has been allegations of wrongdoing, but there really is not, in hand, a coherent body of evidence that gives right to believe that you have probable cause to prove a crime beyond a reasonable doubt. The four Democrats who called on Clement to appoint a special prosecutor did not specifically ask for a reply, and Clement has not yet made any public about the request.
Justice Department spokesman Dean Boyd said Clement received the letter and he's reviewing it.

The following steps constitute the knowledge cycle or knowledge value chain internal and external sensing → knowledge creation (=innovation) or capture → organizing and storing knowledge → tracking and measuring knowledge and its impacts → retrieving, transferring and sharing knowledge → and using/reusing and applying knowledge.
What are some KM tools and techniques?
|ICT/technically-oriented tools
|Behaviorally-oriented tools
|Internal and external sensing
|Market analysis, KM audit, competitive intelligence,surveys
|Complaints desk, social network analysis, FGD, interview
|Creation or capture
|Data mining, R&D, work templates, buy IPR
|CoP, team learning, documentation, mentoring
|Organize and store
|Portal, intranet
|Expertise locator, Who Knows Who Directory
|Track and measure
|Balanced Scorecard, intellectual capital accounting
|Learning history, process documentation
|Retrieve, transfer and share
|Search engine, e-group, e- learning
|CoP, transfer of best practice, cross-visit, story telling
|Use/reuse or apply
|Role-based portal, work templates
|Help desk, action learning
What is "knowledge translation"?
Knowledge translation is the last two stages of the knowledge cycle: transferring and using knowledge. It usually includes the transformation of knowledge into more usable form. This is needed if the institutional and cultural context of the knowledge source is different from that of the knowledge user.
Is transfer of knowledge (such as feedback conferences, reports, training, etc.) KM?
Knowledge transfer is part of KM, although people managing conferences, preparing reports and conducting trainings may not be aware they are doing KM. Conscious KM implies the knowledge transfer is managed in such a way that it deliberately results in more effective action by the receiver.
How is KM related to information filing or resource center?
Organizing and storing knowledge is part of the knowledge cycle. As in 5-3, consciously doing KM means information is prioritized according to what is needed for more effective action by the user(s).
Does going into KM means/needs being techy and computer savvy?
KM without computers can be done (see last column above), but KM with computers is better. The best KM is one that is "both high-tech and high-touch."

I've been blogging a bit more the past few weeks. I'd like to say it's going to be like this around here again from now on but truthfully the reason is simple: I had a lot of time off over the holidays and it's a LOT easier for me to blog when I'm not working. I have more time and creative energy. Blogging takes time and lots of creative energy. Blogging intelligently takes even more time. And time is something I'm going to have in short supply now that the holidays are over. In the next six weeks I'll be taking no less than 4 trips of 4-6 days each. And we all know how great I am at blogging while I'm traveling.
But I'll try. I've been doing this blogging thing for enough years that I don't have any intention of abandoning it yet! And, in the meantime, you can always find me on Twitter and Facebook. And quite vocal there too!

I use this train for our study in Acts. Each car has a short title to tell the kids what questions are inside. We use them for review, and I let them take turns putting the laminated papers back in the cars, which they think is great! This did get published in the very last issue, of the very last page of Ideashop by Gospel Advocate! Here is a closer look at a car:
Here are what they basically look like. A question, a picture or clipart, and Lift-the-Flap answer.
Everything is laminated. I used cardstock on the backs of the cars to make a pocket. Make sure the cardstock fits on the back and doesn't show on the front. It needs to be big enough to hold the question sheets. I glued around 3 edges of each piece of cardstock , bottom and the 2 sides, and used my Aleene's Tacky Glue to attach the cardstock to the back of the cars. Mine looks like this:
Just to give you an idea, my train cars are labeled with: Acts, Light, Basket, Lydia, Paul & Silas, Aquila & Priscilla, Eutychus, Jerusalem, "Trials", Malta, Rome.
Also, when I staple them to the wall, I line them up, and staple the pocket in the middle to the wall, then staple the sides of the car to the wall. That makes it a lot easier to put the worksheets back in the pockets.
You can find more about the train and download the posters here.

The questions are on the labels with a clue picture, and the answer is inside on the letters.
What are the 2 parts of the Bible?
How many books/letters are in the Bible?
How many books are in the Old Testament?
How many books/letters are in the New Testament?
How many letters do we have from Paul?
What is the first book of the Bible?
What does the first book start with? (creation)
What is the first verse of the Bible?
Who wrote the first 5 books? (Say them)
What is the first book of the New Testament?
What does the first book (Matthew) tell us? (birth of Jesus)
What is the last book of the Bible? Revelation (no s)
The mailbox can be found here.
Right next to the mailbox, I have these numbers for the letters we have from Paul. These should be cut out and laminated before attaching to the wall:
Click here to print the 13 in green, pink, and blue.
On a wall right next to the mailbox, for further discussion, I have the numbers 39 with a plus sign and 27 with an equal sign with 66. Also 13 for the letters we have from Paul. You can buy them here.
Here are some older bulletin boards for Acts, if you are interested. You might get an idea!
You could use any mailbox. You could use real envelopes and write on the outside.
Or, print envelope or postcards on clipart. Here what mine have printed on them:
From: Paul in Corinth To: The Saints in Rome (Romans 1:7)
From: Paul in Rome To: The Saints in Philippi (Phil. 1:1)
From: Paul in Rome To: Timothy (2 Timothy 1:4)
From: Paul in Rome To: The Saints of Ephesus (Eph. 1:1)
From: Paul in Ephesus To: The Church at Corinth (1 Cor.)
From: Paul in Macedonia To: The Church at Corinth and the Saints at Achaia (2 Corinthians)
From: Paul To: The Churches of Galatia (Gal. 1:2)
From: Paul in Macedonia To: Timothy (1 Tim. 1:2)
From: Paul in Corinth To: Philemon (Philemon 1:1)
From: Paul in Corinth To: The Church of the Thessalonians (1 Thess. 1:1)
From: Paul in Corinth To: The Church of the Thessalonians (2 Thess. 1:1)
From: Paul To: All Christians

Venice Beach, best known for it's eclectic boardwalk, muscle beach and street performers, is my favorite place to play tour guide while still experiencing that local flavor. You'll see everyone from local's walking their dogs, biking, skateboarding and rollerblading to tourists from all over the world. There are vendors selling on the street and performers singing and dancing for your pocket change. It's people watching heaven and you won't be disappointed. Day three of my guide to L.A. Takes you to Venice, California for a blend of tourist must sees with local love for the perfect beach-side city day!
How to Explore Los Angeles in Three Days Like a Local: Day Three
Take a stroll down the Venice Beach Boardwalk for an eccentric mix of wacky and weird where local life collides with street performers and vendors. There's no shortage of shopping to be done here. From Venice and California souvenirs, novelty items, and a plethora of amazing locally made art you'll easily find a memento or two to take home with you.
The Venice Beach Boardwalk, on Ocean Front Walk, a great place to grab a bite to eat. The Sidewalk Cafe or On the Waterfront Cafe are both beachfront dining favorites with fresh delicious menus. The Sidewalk Cafe has Tacos Tuesdays and a fantastic Happy hour Monday through Fridays. From the boardwalk you can wander down to the ocean and dip your toes in the water. Bring your beach towel and sunscreen and stay awhile.
The Sidewalk Cafe: 1401 Ocean Front Walk, Venice, CA 90291
On the Waterfront Cafe: 205 Ocean Front Walk, Venice California, 90291
Parking: Lots by the beach range anywhere from $10 – $18 dollars for the day. I recommend parking once and being prepared to do a lot of walking! Free street parking in the surrounding neighborhoods can be tough to find on the weekends, but if you're willing to hunt for it, you just might get lucky and save a few bucks!
Grab some Four Barrel coffee at my favorite coffee shop Menotti's Coffee Stop. This awesome coffee bar is relatively new to the Venice coffee shop scene, opening up at it's Winward Avenue location in 2013. With it's award winning latte-art baristas and sweet secret menu you will not be disappointed! Stay and enjoy your coffee in their hip shop then take a walk to the end of the block for a shot of the iconic VENICE sign.
Menotti's Coffee Stop: 56 Windward Ave, Venice, CA 90291
VENICE Sign: Pacific Ave & Windward Ave, Venice, CA 90291
Continue down the boardwalk all the way to the Venice pier. It's a great spot to see surfers catch a few waves! I love all the beach houses along the walkway on one side and the ocean and palm trees along the other side. From the pier you can walk up W Washington Boulevard. Keep an eye open for the beautiful Venice Canals. The Boulevard crosses over the Grand Canal right after Strong's Drive.
You'll find an entrance to the walkways to the Venice Canals right off of W Washington Street. I only recently discovered the canals! Talk about quaint! I cannot believe how many times I've simply walked past the entrance over on 25th street not knowing the Canals were there!
For more about the canals read my post about these Beautiful Canals of Venice, California!
If you're up for the walk it's a little under two miles to the famous Abbot Kinney Boulevard. You should definitely plan to hit up Abbot Kinney Boulevard. Besides making many appearances in T.V. shows and movies it's filled with sweet clothing, vintage, surf stores, coffee shops, cafes and restaurants. It's also filled with lots of fun and instagrammable wall art! Looking for more instagrammable wall art? I wrote a post about The Most Instagrammable Street in LA!
Abbot Kinney Boulevard: Runs from Pacific Avenue to W Washington Avenue, Venice, CA
I love grabbing a cup of coffee at Intelligentsia Coffee! It's one of my favorite coffee shops in Southern California. The vibe perfectly fits this hip beach city and all of the baristas are awesome. Their Black Cat espresso is fabulous and they make one yummy cappuccino! If you enjoy real macchiatos you won't be disappointed and they make their own amazing infused syrups if you are looking for a flavored latte. They also have a wonderful tea selection and fresh baked goods.
Intelligentsia Coffee: 1331 Abbot Kinney Blvd, Venice, CA 90291
Parking: Limited free parking behind shop. Metered street parking.
Have you been to Venice? What are some of your favorite spots to hit up?

"Thank You" to those of you that have followed me over here from my Raised In Cotton site. Your friendship and support mean the world to me!
Here is a random list of what I've been up to lately.
*I styled a photo shoot last week for a local bridal magazine. The theme was "Summer Lake" with a color palette of light blue, purple and soft gray. It was one of those shoots where everything went together effortlessly which is not always the case. In a few weeks I will be able to share some of the photos with you.
* I bought white roses from BunchesDirect.com for the photo shoot. The quality is amazing and they smelled lovely.
* A shade of purple paint was added to the handles of thrift store silverware for the bridal shoot place settings. I used several layers of acrylic paint which is not permanent but a great element pop.
* Even though I love classic white dishes and all ironstone patterns, I've always had a fondness for beautiful floral china. Lucky that there is a resurgence of floral patterned china in place settings. I think the popularity of Downton Abbey means we will see a return to more formal tabletops in home and wedding decor.
* I'm totally smitten with my new camera the Canon 5d mk Mark iii. I really tried to resist buying a new camera but it has been a few years since I upgraded and I felt it was time. The clear focus that this baby produces even in low light situations is stellar.
* My family and I recently spent a few days at the beautiful Big Cedar Lodge on TableRock Lake in Southern Missouri. We've been going to Big Cedar for the last 20 years and it is one of our favorite destinations. They are building a sweet chapel on the grounds for Weddings and I think the setting would be spectacular for a small intimate celebration.
* While we were at Big Cedar, I was fortunate to get us into the not officially opened Arnie's Restaurant (after Arnold Palmer) that is being built. It is housed in an Amish built timber frame barn and is AMAZING! I've always loved timber frame design with open beams so much so that after our visit, I think I have Mr Practical Pants talked into a future construction project:) I was also completely obsessed with the flameless candles they used to line the entrance because they looked so real. After some investigating, I found the source for them:)
* The winners of Matthew Mead's Recycled Style Book- Lisa Vogel, Amy Wald and Sandi Telzrow-Thanks to everyone that entered the giveaway:)
I hope you have a great start to your April:)

Impact Zambia was established in 2012 with a vision of working in partnership with indigenous leaders to help some of the poorest communities in rural areas of southwestern Zambia. Its primary ministries are operated through New Life Tabernacle (founded in 1994 and headquartered in Itezhi-tezhi, Zambia) and its 20+ branch churches.
Impact Zambia's first project was to build a facility that doubled up as an office and school on the site of the Itezhi-tezhi church, and to build new church buildings in Mumbwa and Namwala. Through partnerships with Canadian and South African churches, Rotary International, and International Teams Canada, they have since expanded their programs to include community development initiatives designed to break the cycle of poverty through education and vocational training.
Training Centre
The life-changing vocational training centre in Itezhi-tezhi grew up out of a simple sewing club, which has provided sewing and business training to 110 women in partnership with Rotary International. The dire need for skills and leadership development identified during this project has resulted in the construction of a multi-purpose training centre, which will offer classes in employable skills like sewing, agriculture, woodworking, building dams, and mechanical repair. It will also offer leadership training programs.
African Leadership Conference
The Pan-African Leadership Conference is hosted by PACE Ministries, a partner of International Teams Canada's Impact Kenya program, and focuses on building relationships, capacity, and networks amongst African leaders, regardless of past differences. It is exciting to see what good has come from this conference. Daniel and Florence Mayapi, indigenous leaders with Impact Zambia, were paired up at the conference with other African leaders, whose work in Malawi's Dzaleka refugee camp they have since supported. Zambian leaders hope to continue participating in the conference and will be hosting a future conference in the new training centre.
Internet Cafe
One of the defining aspects of poverty is isolation – isolation from markets, ideas, and technology. This is certainly the case with the Itezhi-tezhi district, which is only accessible by bad roads and is not on the way to any place that would bring high volumes of traffic. Electricity is just starting to be available to the community and the supply of it is still intermittent. The closest public
library is a six-hour bus ride away.
We plan to establish an internet cafe on the premises of
Itezhi-tezhi church to provide an affordable place for the whole community to connect with the world outside the district. This will help local business owners, teachers, church leaders, and other members of the community to break the cycle of poverty through education, training, and opportunities to earn income.
