In order to comply with our DBE Program, the New Orleans Aviation Board (NOAB) has established a DBE office and has appointed a DBE Liaison Officer (DBELO) to coordinate and administer the Program and Plan. The first step in the certification process is to complete and submit a DBE application to the DBELO at the Louis Armstrong New Orleans International Airport. The DBELO then conducts a site visit to verify status and issue a decision. The NOAB will certify only those businesses which are at least fifty-one percent (51%) owned and controlled by persons who are socially and economically disadvantaged.
In this program, an overall participation goal of 27% of all public works projects funded by state and local dollars was established for State and Local Disadvantaged Business Enterprise Program (SLDBE) certified firms. Unlike the DBE program where the DBELO makes the certification decisions, an independent panel of sociologists and economists are responsible for approving or rejecting applications for SLDBE certification.

One possibility is the integration by substitution formula. But this doesn't explain why $\int_1^{\infty}x^{-3}dx$ is easy to evaluate (and rational) whilst $\sum_1^{\infty}n^{-3}$ is unknown (and seemingly not a simple combination of well known numbers). It is true that $x^{-3}$ has a simple inverse derivative whilst $n^{-3}$ does not have a known simple inverse difference, but is there more to it than that?
Remember to vote up questions/answers you find interesting or helpful (requires 15 reputation points)
Well, some things are easier in one place, and other things are easier in the other. The many assertions in answers that integrals of $x^n$ are easier than the corresponding sums is misleading. In the continuous world, $x^n$ is a very natural object. In the discrete world, however, the natural object is the falling factorial: $x^{\underline{n}}$ is defined as $x(x-1)\dots(x-n+1)$. Compute the derivative of $x^{\underline{n}}$ and you get a mess. Compute the forward difference and you get the beautifully simple $f(x+1)-f(x) = (x+1)^{\underline{n}} - x^{\underline{n}} = n x^{\underline{n-1}}$. That is,
$$\sum_{i=1}^n i^9= \frac{1}{20} n^2 (n+1)^2 \left(n^2+n-1\right) \left(2 n^4+4 n^3-n^2-3 n+3\right)$$
is a little messy. Certainly messier than $\int x^9 dx$. On the other hand, The truth here is that the discrete world is often easier (and more fundamental, too), but history has prejudiced us to be more familiar with the continuous world. Zeilberger (who else?) has written passionately about this, and if you know of other sources for discrete calculus (online or off) please add them as comments to this answer! |

Riemann integrals are defined to be limits of sums. In this context, integrals are easier since if we can evaluate the sums explicitly then the limit is generally straightforward to compute. For instance, let $\mathcal{P}$ be a convex polytope with integer vertices. Let $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ be the number of integer points in the dilation $n\mathcal{P}$, $n\geq 1$ (the Ehrhart polynomial of $\mathcal{P}$). Often one can express $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ as an iterated sum, and one can express the volume of $\mathcal{P}$ as a completely analogous iterated integral. By the definition of Riemann integral, the leading coefficient of $i(\mathcal{P},n)$ is the volume of $\mathcal{P}$, so the integral is easier to compute. As a specific example, let $\mathcal{P}$ be the triangle with vertices $(0,0), (1,0), (0,1)$. The iterated sum is $\sum_{j=0}^n\sum_{k=0}^j 1 = {n+2\choose 2}$, while the iterated integral is $\int_{x=0}^1\int_{y=0}^x 1\hspace{.1em}dy\hspace{.1em}dx = 1/2$. |
While I don't really think that this is an answer to your question in the generality that you ask it (indeed, it says nothing of the one example you cite), here is something that comes to mind. Integrals of $x^n$ for positive $n$ are much simpler than sums of $x^n$. The reason is that in evaluating the former, one first evaluates the latter and then passes to a limit. It is in this limiting process that all the "hard stuff" vanishes, and one is basically left with leading terms. In other words, in this case, the limiting processes of calculus eliminate all but what is, on some level, dominant behavior. The same (vague) argument can be made of derivatives versus differences (as in Theo's answer). Finite differences may as well be hugely large scale differences - there's no objective scale. Derivatives, on the other hand, capture something that is in retrospect much simpler - truly local behavior. |
I'm not sure this question is appropriate for MO, but I'll play along. One of the main reasons integrals of elementary functions are easier to algebraically evaluate than sums of elementary functions is that derivatives are much better behaved than differences. For a fairly mellow example, consider the product rule:
On the other hand, there is no chain rule for differences:
The chain rule for derivatives is precisely the u-substitution formula for integrals, and as you say in your question, there is no similar formula for sums. Related to both of these is that power functions $n\mapsto n^\alpha$ have very nice derivatives and not-nice differences. At least the difference of a polynomial is a polynomial, but in general in a function with non-smooth parts / poles (like $n\mapsto n^\alpha$ for $\alpha \not\in \mathbb N$), taking differences generally create more poles. So it's extremely hard to imagine anti-differencing a function with only one pole — the antidifference would have to have many poles, that magically almost cancel upon differencing. However, I'd like to emphasize that all of this answer has to do with algebraic methods (finding "closed form expressions"). |
This is a layman's answer. I'm by no means near an expert on integrals. My first reaction to this question was that I am not sure that I agree and that since sums are integrals, this does not even make sense. Then I realized that the statement can be rephrased as Continuous functions are easier to integrate than discontinuous ones If we put it that way then perhaps the answer is a) a lot of things are easier to do with a continuous function, or b) in particular it is easier to find the indefinite integral of a continuous function than of a discontinuous one. Especially since the second one cannot have a nice anti-derivative (For instance it cannot be continuously differentiable for one). Disclaimer This is a soft-answer and is not intended to contain mathematically rigorous statements or self-evident truths. |
It depends on the object being summed/integrated. There are examples of sums that are handled by the theory of hypergeometric functions whose integrals would probably defeat most CAS systems out there. They are different because the methods to simplify both processes are different. The focus (in American education) on the integral is because there were more examples of application in the mid 20th century. With the advent of algorithm design and applied combinatorics, more weight is being placed on evaluation of sums; even so, I think it is safe to say that integration will continue to be emphasized over summation for the near future. Gerhard "Ask Me About System Design" Paseman, 2011.02.17 |
It might be more accurate to suggest that we are more familiar with easy integrals than easy sums. That is, there has been much more work done (and certainly much more practical experience, especially among engineers and scientists) with integrals than sums. The world is (seems) mostly continuous, so we focus primarily on integration. That might seem like a non-answer but it's the one that comes to mind. |

You can order Ativan Lorazepam (1mg, 2mg) online at low cost. Purchase Ativan pills online.
Ativan is a prescription medication that is indicated in the short term treatment of anxiety. This is a medication has a very high rate of success when taken for short periods of time. Many doctors consider Ativan a crisis management drug only and will not consider it for the long term treatment of anxiety disorders.
Ativan is a well respected drug because it works fast, it's reliable and there is no need to wait for it to build up in the system, which means that it will begin resolving systems quickly. While some prescribers really like Ativan, most will prescribe it with care because it does cause drowsiness as well as cognitive impairment. It's important to understand the effects of the medication can, in rare instances, last up to six months after the medication has been stopped. Ativan no prescription
Ativan side effects may include tolerance, dependence, and withdrawal syndrome. Tapering doses before stopping is important for patients who have been on the medication for some time. More common side effects that usually subside on their own with continued use include drowsiness, irritability, lack of motivation, loss of libido, dizziness, loss of balance, loss of coordination, and aggression among others. Patients should discuss their side effects with their doctors as they occur.

For years we've been hearing that EUV will be ready for production use in "just ...
Nuclear fusion research aids EUV source breakthrough
Peter Clarke
LONDON – A University of Washington laboratory that has been working for more than a decade on nuclear fusion as a source of energy, thinks it has leapfrogged ahead of companies trying to create a viable light source for extreme ultraviolet lithography (EUV).
Zplasma Inc. (Seattle, Wash.) will be competing with such firms as Cymer Inc., Xtreme Technologies GmbH and Gigaophoton Inc. but reckons that with a 1,000 times improvement in output energy it can easily provide the source power to make EUV lithography machine throughputs viable.
The principle methods used currently are discharged-produced or laser produced plasmas of xenon or tin (DPP or LPP) but both consume large amounts of energy. More importantly neither has reached the 100- or 200-watts power level at the intermediate focus needed to get 60 to 125 wafers per hour throughput from a EUV lithography machine, such as the NXE:3300B from ASML Holding NV (Veldhoven, The Netherlands).
"We're able to produce that light with enough power that it can be used to manufacture microchips," said Uri Shumlak, a UoW professor of aeronautics and astronautics, in a report on the University of Washington website.
Click on image to enlarge.
As with other 13.5-nm wavelength light sources, the UoW beam is based on a plasma (xenon). And the UoW fusion lab's specialty is lower-cost versions of a fusion reactor, which uses electric current rather than magnets to contain the plasma and which produces plasma that is stable and long-lived.
This has advantages over a discharge spark propagated through a tin vapor or shooting a laser at a tin droplet, the group claims. "It's a completely different way to make the plasma that gives you much more control," said Brian Nelson, a UW research associate professor of electrical engineering, in the website report.
The alternative EUV light sources produce a pulse of light that lasts between 20 and 50 microseconds The Zplasma light source lasts about 1,000 times longer and this results in more light output, and more light onto the wafer. The UoW team has been supported with grants and gifts to allow them to verify the production of 13.5-nm wavelength light and to reduce the size of the equipment.
The company is now led by Henry Berg, a technology entrepreneur, as CEO. The company is now seeking venture capital from corporate investors who can help Zplasma integrate its light sources with existing industrial processes.

The Zplasma only claims more energy, not more power. So it's still too slow.
It's hardly a breakthrough, it doesn't offer extra power (energy/time). Energy confused with power.
There's also a coarseness problem, where now you're dealing with resist outgassing, crosslinking and even ablation at J/cm^2 instead of mJ/cm^2.
It is very impressive these advancements that we are currently having in the area of nuclear fusion research, hopefully soon everything will become reality in order to make a better world.
In fact, the group uses a Z-pinch plasma, same as Ushio's DPP. They have to use xenon or tin, not hydrogen (deuterium/tritium) as the plasma medium.
"The company is now seeking venture capital from corporate investors...."
Try China. They would love to learn more about this invention.
I think the US will give you a tax credit for every transfer of technology you enable to China.
Another example of a misguided group/startup. They focus so much on solving a big issue, but neglect to follow up on downstream system consequences. A longer pulse per cycle obviously exposes the downstream mirrors to more ionic bombardment, despite best mitigation efforts. They need to make a positive announcement before actual integration with collection optics. Obviously, they won't get anywhere with it.
Henry Berg
A few clarifications:
* Zplasma's design goal is higher power, not higher energy.
* Our core technology is a flow-stabilized Z-pinch. While developed as part of nuclear fusion research, it is not related to nuclear fusion itself.
* Our DPP source does use a plasma Z-pinch, but a flow-stabilized pinch, not the unstable pinch used by others in the past.
* Our source ends without the explosive instabilities of other DPP sources, so it does not produce high-energy debris.
* Optical collection in our design is side-on, not downstream.
Henry Berg,
CEO, Zplasma, Inc.
Thanks for clarifying, but in any case the plasma stable duration is independent of power.
You can't avoid neutrals going out radially and skipping out the light emitted and charges moving axially.
Frank Eory
For years we've been hearing that EUV will be ready for production use in "just a few more years" and now they're applying nuclear fusion technologies to create the light source? That's almost comical.

As a fan of Peavey's Vypyr series I felt that this modeling amp should look as good as it sounds. Like many others out there I found the plastic faceplate or "fangs" to be very cheesy looking, so when I came across some posts online about how to remove them…well I went to work. The result was a classier, more vintage looking amp in my opinion.

Calhoun resident Randy Bowen recently completed the Electrical Lineworker Apprentice certifi-cate from North Georgia Technical College.
Students achieving a Technical Certificate of Credit at North Georgia Technical College shared a moment of pride with families and friends this week. Each campus hosted an intimate occasion for students completing a certificate in Fall and Winter quarters.
"We have grown so rapidly this past year, we wanted to take the right steps to ensure that every-one would be able to participate fully in our students' accomplishments," said Dr. Fran Chastain, Director of Student Affairs. "Holding a ceremony just for recognizing the completion of certificates allows us to better serve everyone."
"Graduating students from North Georgia Technical College have proven they are ready, willing, and able to meet a challenge," said President Steve Dougherty. "From juggling family life to over-coming handicaps to reinventing their careers, the story of each individual is one of courage and faith."
Family and friends were invited for refreshments prior to the award event. Each student re-ceived a special gift and will receive their official certificates in the mail after all reporting data has been verified.

I prefer to measure the executives and managers since if they are taking the correct actions, the workforce will unleash their full potential of creativity, innovation, productivity, motivation and commitment. Execs and managers who don't take the right actions will experience one third to one quarter of the productivity and innovation employees can produce.
The questions I prefer would be does the leader - provide regular and frequent opportunities to make complaints, suggestions and questions? elicit answers/responses from the team and get them to use their brainpower to problem solve? listen to employees with 100% attention without distraction, without trying to figure out a response and with use of follow-up questions to obtain missing details and suggested fixes? refrain from giving orders since by their nature orders are demeaning and disrespectful and destroy innovation and commitment? treat members better in terms of humility, respect, timely and high quality responses, forthrightness, trust, admission of error, etc than they are expected to treat customers and each other? publicly recognize people for their contributions and high performance and never take credit him/herself? openly provide all company info to members to the extent they need/desire? use values and high standards of them in order to explain why certain actions are better than others? use smiles and good humor with subordinates, not frowns? There are more, but the above constitute a representative sample. Best regards, Ben Simonton Author "Leading People to be Highly Motivated and Committed" http://www.bensimonton.com |

We measured employee equity, which is a step beyond employee engagement. In actuality, there are two concepts that make up employee equity: job commitment and engagement or level of connection to the organization. It really makes sense, a person can like their job and not like the company they work for or vica versa. You have to measure both to get a true sense of the level of equity in your organization; as we all know by now, engagement or equity or whatever you call it does have a positive impact of internal and external business metrics, such as retention, productivity, number of used sick leave, customer loyalty, quality, profitability, etc.
I have worked with many companies over the years on their employee surveys it appears that every other year is the most frequent administration period. I've noticed a trend in the last year or so where companies are doing shorter "pulse" surveys more frequently. Some others are alternating full surveys one year with pulse surveys in between cycles. The distribution of results is typically dependant on company goals, but commonly they are rolled out by level first (i.e., CEO and senior management team and down in intervals). Also, to ensure the greatest amount of accountablility, every manager who has 5 or more employees gets a survey report with tactical information to act on. In addition, an employee equity barometer is provided across the organization for a quick read on the equity levels of employees. It is important to do the right analytics on employee survey data so that you know where to allocate your resources and spend your time and energy in action planning. We do a key driver analysis for major business units to see what levers in the organization to push in order to increase employee equity. This is an important new analysis that the survey industry is using: in the past organizations would focus on the lowest scores. Now, organizations can focus on those scores that covary with equity - i.e., those things to change to improve equity levels in employees. The actions that organizations take to increase engagaement or equity varies across organizations; each organization is unique, with unique strategies, strengths and opportunities. There are some best practices, however, that all organizations should follow when conducting an employee survey. If anyone is interested in chatting further about this, please feel free to call me at 630-960-3248 or e-mail at email@example.com |

In many employee engagement projects, measurement often seems to be the goal. As the original question implies, measurement is just the starting point and the next steps if any are often not very productive. In our employee performance work with clients, we usually begin with an on-line survey normally our own survey although there are other excellent ones out there. The key is what to do next, and we typically then work with the leadership team to examine the implications of the survey results in order to provide actionable feedback to the survey participants.
Employee dis-engagement is pervasive in most organizations today, and increasingly middle management people stand out in this. However, the root causes are often to be found with personal goals of senior management, who set the tone and culture for the entire organization. So, we look at the leadership teams own personal vision, roles and goals and their alignment with those of the organization and vice versa. By working top down initially, we aim to tackle some of the most critical performance issues first many of them caused by the top-down nature of organizational goal setting in the first place. email@example.com |

Watch Travis Pastrana break in his Dodge Dart rally car
The name Travis Pastrana may ring a bell if you are less than 30 years old and into action sports. If not, that's fine, he's another "do everything possible" guy living out most of our wildest fantasies.
He surfs, skydives, drives race cars of all kinds and most famously defies physics and gravity behind the bars of motocross bikes.
In the sixth episode of the Web series On Pace w/ Pastrana, he drives the Dodge Dart Rally car for the first time.
There are plenty of warnings to Pastrana "not to f**k it up," as at the time of filming it was the only Dodge Dart Rally car. But if you are familiar with Pastrana and his band of miscreants, you'll know they do in fact "f**k it up" despite the concerned pleas of repair from one engineer.
Just less than eight minutes long, the video will give you access to how things came together for the filming of Pastrana with the Dodge Dart Rally car.

I'm not quite sure when it happened, but there was a cut back lane the size of a truck and he just doesn't see it. Next play... the a ga, where he was heading for at first, had a yard or three, at least, just for him to pick up... And he jumps into the b gap and gets stopped after a yard.
It's frustrating to see him play. So much potential, but he isn't going anywhere. It reminds me of Finley a bit... Without the ridiculous jawing.
The thing is, most of our runs are not made to be cut back, or even possible to, which is a scheme issue. The runs are one cut upfield. the backs are running parallel with the line and when they see a hole are suppose to turn up field and go. We can see a hole behind them, but it is all but impossible for them to see or make a cut 90degrees or more without completely stopping momentum and trying to be Barry Sanders.
When Green and Benson both, have been put in traditional run formations, and have been given the ball to go between the tackles, with the Oline blocking forward, they are successful.
Our run game problem is we cannot block the stretch runs, and we run out of shotgun far to often which is easier for the defense to defend.

Nobody's claiming Green is anything but an average RB, but focusing on the RB is pointless until the line becomes something other than absolutely pitiful.
They need Moses. He would part the line by himself.
edit- why is he playing LB?

As was said, this IS the NFL. You should never take what the "betting line" says make you think that it's going to happen that way.
The Jags were a down team, and i believe pride has alot to do with the way they played their collective hearts out. Same as the Packers did a few weeks ago when they were getting blasted by the press.
The Packers were coming down from a high, and the jags were a wounded animal, looking to win at Lambeau Field.
Yes, i think most of us fans would prefer a blow out, just to allow us to breathe. But in the end, a win by one or 30 still counts as ONE win. And i'm thankful for that!

We are a work in process.. that is what it is. We have learned that we cannot be a pass only team, via this season and last in the playoffs. We have to establish some balance... and even though the running game is sluggish right now, we need to work on it. Just like the passing game there is an element of timing to it all. Comfort as well.
I would rather be running the ball and struggling with the ypc, than not running it at all and not giving our offensive line be put behind the eight ball in pass protection. They are not good enough to allow the defense to tee off on them each snap.
So color me fine with the run attempts and hopefully we grow and become more effective and efficient with it, but stay with it. Don't forget, the defense is also benefiting from us sticking with the run game.
Other thoughts..
We are without arguably the 1 and 2 options in the passing game, without our #1 option in the running game and playing with a struggling starting tight end.
Don't care what they say, Bulaga is playing hurt.. watch him play and he is struggling to slide to his left, seems okay to the right, but absolutely is getting destroyed when he has to shift his feet and change directions. My guess, his he is guessing and cheating to the outside and if the end/rusher ducks and changes course, he can't flip and move. Something, knee guessing, is not right at all. He is not the only issue on the line in consistency... but he is a better player than his effort on the field right now.
I really am confused to Driver's be limited so much in the offense. Mike McCarthy went more 2 receivers sets yesterday with Nelson down.. I wonder what the real story is there.
We have played lights out for a couple weeks with the balance, I think it might be a bit over the top to rant after the last two weeks of offense and us being beat up at almost every position.
Also.. Rodgers is banged up.. favoring his right elbow, hot towel on a stiff neck each trip to the sideline.
The offensive line needs to step up and start knocking heads.. everyone in the locker room knows we have to have balance, it is going to be up to them to eliminate this type of chatter. Move the piles.
We NEED the bye week to get here.. the health of the team needs it.
Summary.. I am happier than a pig in a slop with the offensive balance the last three weeks.. give a pinch less that we are working through issues. We will be a better team for it when it is win or go home.

Letter | Vote yes for fire station
October 23, 2012 · 9:12 AM
I believe that it is imperative to pass the Fire Station and Fire Apparatus Levy to rebuild the South end fire station as well as purchase a new truck and equipment. As a former firefighter in a major metropolitan city, we were trained not to become a victim during any given emergency response. If the South end station fails structurally during a major seismic event, we could possibly lose our fire personnel and equipment, adding our would-be rescuers to our victim list. With limited fire personnel on duty (especially at night), the South end station needs to be fully functional during an emergency to respond to the citizens needs on that end of the Island.
With Mercer Island positioned on top of a fault line, it's only a question of when, not if. It may not occur in our lifetime, but now is the time to prepare. Let's not put this off any longer, pass this levy and give the fire department the resources needed to carry out their duties.

JoJo is featured on a collaboration with JON MCXRO, "Don't Say Nothin'," from the latter's new album, The Fifth of Never (Gold Cup Edition).
JON MCXRO is a group comprised by the production trio, The Stereotypes.
Jojo's upcoming but oft-delayed album Jumping Trains was the subject of a recent tweet by the artist, who noted its release was out of her control:
"Curious 2know the status of my album? tweet BlackgroundMG. They control the $ & album date. In the meantime, I'm gonna keep working LoveUAll."
Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj added her voice to the fray of those eager to hear from her:
"Yo jojo on sum real g sh*t 'the highroad' is one of the best rnb albums of all time. Why aren't u making music??? I need another one my G."

T4 Polynucleotide Kinase (T4 PNK) catalyzes the transfer of the γ-phosphate from ATP to the 5´-terminus of polynucleotides or to mononucleotides bearing a 3´-phosphate group. T4 PNK is widely used to end-label short oligonucleotide probes, DNA and RNA molecules. Under certain conditions, the reaction with polynucleotides can be made reversible, permitting exchange of the γ-phosphate of ATP with the 5´ terminal phosphate of a polynucleotide, thus circumventing the need to dephosphorylate the substrate with alkaline phosphatase.

More than a century ago, George Washington Plunkitt of the Tammany Hall political machine contemptuously declared, "Reformers are morning glories." Politics was for professionals, he added. "You've got to be trained up to it, or you're sure to fail."
Here in Massachusetts, Plunkitt may be proven wrong. In an era bracketed by Governor Deval Patrick's decisive reelection in 2010 and Elizabeth Warren's grassroots triumph last November, reformers have become effective regulars. But there is still an undertow of the old political culture of "wait your turn" that would be familiar to Boss Plunkitt.
John Walsh as an enlightened advocate of the preliminary process…? For this to be true, the myth makers need to overlook the state's democratic convention when the leadership muscled out any Warren challengers. The myth making continues with the omission that the national DNC heavily pressured the state machine to run Warren and to make sure they pulled out all the stops to ensure her win. As for Patrick, once again the myth makers glide past the David Axelrod connection and his use of the Patrick's campaign as a test bed for the same themes later used for the Obama campaign.
This comment has been removed.
Four outraged Cherokee activists who say Elizabeth Warren's campaign has ignored their emails and phone calls will trek to Boston this week in hopes they can force a meeting with the Democratic Senate candidate over her "offensive" Native American heritage claims.
"It's almost becoming extremely offensive to us," said Twila Barnes, a Cherokee genealogist who has researched Warren's family tree. "We're trying to get in contact and explain why her behavior hurts us and is offensive, and she totally ignores that. Like we don't exist." …
What they want, Barnes said, is for Warren to sit down with them and to stop claiming she's a Native American.
"We would like to see her look at the documentation and admit there's no Indian ancestry there and then apologize," Barnes saud. "Hear us. Acknowledge us. Know that she's brought us into this. We didn't bring ourselves into this. This whole trip was planned to get a meeting with her."
Instead, Warren's campaign lashed out at the Cherokee women

M Babu asks:
As Salamualikum. Ramadan ul Mubarak. I need to understand zakat on retirement funds contributed by both employer and employee. As a teacher, I have a TIAA-CREF retirement account where I contribute and my employer contributes a matching percentage of the salary. All my investment is in stocks since other options are interest bearing. I can not receive the cash until it vest when I reach retirement age. Do I have to pay zakat on the amount of this retirement fund that has been accumulated?
Another Questioner asks:
I am looking for clarification on rules for zakat on stocks and zakat on 401K.
1) Below excerpt from _____ fund web page says zakat of 10% is due on INCREASE of asset and not on the base asset. I was under the impression zakath is due on the whole capital. I want to do the right thing. What is the correct basis?
2) The 401K is a fund that is joint contribution by employer and me. It is not yet tapped into as I have not retired. Although I could take withdrawal from it as I am over 59.5 yrs. Is zakth due on 401K (these are in stock fund).
Retirement funds and similar are something many people ask about it.
Let's look at the issues at hand above based on the two questions presented:
1- How much Zakat is paid on business partnerships and investments?
2- Is my retirement account (such as 401k, IRA, or similar) liable for Zakat?
If you are looking for more information on how to pay Zakat on Mutual Funds and Stocks/shares NOT part of your retirement fund, click on the previous link.
How much Zakat is paid on business partnerships and investments?
Business partnerships and investments are due 2.5% when paying Zakat on them. Mutual Funds, which invest in a portfolio of stocks (shares) are business partnerships and are treated as such when calculating profits and zakat. To make them analogous to agricultural projects is incorrect for several reasons most of which cannot be mentioned in a single post. Those interested can look for module five of my Zakat course entitled "Advance Topics in Zakat Law."
Is my retirement account (such as 401k or IRA) liable for Zakat?
Modern scholars differed as to when to pay zakat on retirement accounts such as 401k, IRA'S, and other similar investment vehicles wherein a person does not actively have control over and cannot access without penalty the funds therein until a threshold or time period is met.
The more correct of these 2 opinions is that Zakat is not due on your retirement account (401k, IRA, or similar) until it is time to cash out without penalty.
- If the conditions of that account state that after a person reaches a certain age (say 55 or older) then he or she may withdraw without penalty then Zakat is paid on that amount when you reach that age. Each subsequent year, if Nisaab still exists in the account, you would pay on that account.
- If you cannot access the funds in that account, or you are penalized for early withdrawal, then you are not liable to pay Zakat on that account.
- Zakat is only due on unhindered, fully accessible wealth which is actively managed by the investor.
- Any wealth which is lost, inaccessible, held in an illiquid state, or cannot be accessed freely without penalty is not liable for Zakat.
- If the wealth in the retirement fund is designated for the employee then he must pay 2.5 percent of that amount only when he cashes out without penalty at the time those funds are made available to him.
- If he or she chooses to cash out early and pay the penalty then they must still pay Zakat on the amount withdrawn immediately at the time of availability regardless of the matching funds contributed by his employer or not.
- If he is not allowed to cash out, but instead is forced to take a loan from the 401k fund and pay it back with interest, then he or she will not pay Zakat on this amount until it remains in possession for one year after receiving it from the 401k fund.
- You pay 2.5% on the amount available to you at the time the money is made available to you without penalty. You do not compound 2.5% for the entire tenure of the investment; you only pay 2.5% for one year on the amount made available at cashout without penalty.
If you need confidential advice on how to calculate and pay your Zakat, please contact me through this site.

When did you start to ship May and Drew together?
Oh...as soon as he appeared and started teasing May. I was like-"Uh huh, you so like her Drew, but she just can't see it."
When did you start to ship May and Drew together?
Oh...as soon as he appeared and started teasing May. I was like-"Uh huh, you so like her Drew, but she just can't see it."
I've got a new Question, whats every ones favorite hint? I think I liked it best when that one girl was asking May all these questions how she felt about Drew and them teasing Drew about a little bit =]
Ash fan. Luffy fan. Gintoki fan-Gintama.
Multi Luffy {One Piece} and Ash {Pokemon} Shippers.
Mine would have to be in the first Grand Festival in "Rhapsody in Drew" where Caroline started to tease May about her lurv for Drew and she just kind of just watches him walk off. :3 I also liked all of "Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut" but I don't really think it can be considered a "hint" just a whole episode full of cute moments. xD
For me, it's definitely the roses. He actually gave her roses, not just any rose, red roses. That just made it so obvious to me. The second he gave her the first rose, I literally shouted. "OMG, he so likes her." haha I just couldn't help myself.
I also like the Wynaut episode as well. There were some major hints in that episode but for me, the roses are my favorite Contestshipping hint.
Hey Contestshippers, I hope that I can join this Contestshipping thread. So I'm going to answer the topic.
When you syart to ship May and Drew together?
When I saw them together the first time in the AG saga. I enjoy the fact that May and Drew were able to bring out the best out each other. Strong together and great rivals.
Friend Code
Satoshi(White Version 2):
3654 8629 3630
I'm a long-time Contestshipper. I posted a lot in the old thread and made a lot of friends there. My favorite CS moment is when they were in that cave together. And it's pretty obvious that Drew is bluffing when he says his roses are for Beautifly.
Paired with emeraldrayquaza | Ships: Poke+Contest, etc.
RIP Curt Gowdy, Jack Buck, Howard Cosell, Joe Paterno and Irvin Favre

This banner was made by my online sister, Princess Raspberyl (soon to be known as Lady Luck)
I honestly can't choose a favorite hint x3 I really love "Who, What, When, Where, Wynaut", because it was definitely not a coincidence that they ended up together on that island xD Again, there's the roses. Such an obvious hint, really. And when Brianna asks May if she likes Drew or not, May blushes and says "I guess I haven't really thought about it much before..." I took that as possibly implying that she KNEW that she loved him, and never had to second-guess it
PS. I'm writing a Christmas fanfic, and I need ideas for my CS chapter. Let me know if you have any ideas!

A brand new Contestshipping thread? I guess now is a good time to start getting back into this pairing. I mean, they've always been my favorite, but I just didn't post after May left the main cast. ^_^; The old thread was full of great memories - it was fun to discuss the pairing as it was happening, but it's pretty canon, so the fun shouldn't go away. :P Add me to your list? :3
When did you start to ship May and Drew together?
Um, I guess right after the first big hint at the end of Come What May. I think that's the episode that really solidified it for me. From then on out, Contestshipping became my OTP.
What is everyone's favorite hint?
Well, my favorite hint, or part of Contestshipping was the Wynaut episode. I adore that episode so much. <3 It really showed they could work together, and how in sync they were with Beautifly and Masquerain and...and it was just adorable, okay?
But I remember from the old thread that the Hoenn Grand Festival was one everyone enjoyed and went to first when coming up with CS hints. It's just chock full of them, and I liked it a lot. ^_^
And I saw that you guys had a place to store fanfiction and art, and well, like I said, I used to be quite the avid Contestshipper. I wrote a lot of fics and drew a lot of fanart. And even though a lot of my CS muse has vanished, people still read and enjoy my stuff, so maybe you guys will too.
First of all - I hope you all use the Big Shipping Fic Catalog to find great CS fics of the past and present.
And then, here are my best CS fics:

Hey! Another member from the old thread here I haven't posted in such a long time, since May left, but I still read fics and watch the episodes. Add me please
When did you start to ship May and Drew together?
From the first rose I think, although I liked Drew from his debut episode.
What is everyone's favorite hint?
Well as everyones mentioned the wynaut episode already I'll be different. My favourite scene with them is at the end of the Unbeatable Lightness of Seeing, when they're just watching the sunset together (before Harley arrives), I know there's nothing too big in that scene, but I think it shows how they've grown from just rivals to something more, that they can enjoy each others company like that.
EDIT: I have something interesting to show you all! Just found this little gem, watch this video from 5 minutes.
Its the original voice actors of May and Drew, and Pete Zarustica seems to approve of contestshipping :P

I've been getting my Contestshippy mood back for a while lol, I even drew a small little sketch of May and Drew, if I find the time to doodle it on my tablet I'll share it with you guys. x3
Also thanks Encyclopika for posting some good Contestshippy fanfics (it was something I was looking for xD)
You too AmaOriginally Posted by Encylopika
I know! If he thought there was something there, it means he was playing Drew as though there was something there. Thats good enough contestshipping confirmation for me! XD

I remember watching that video a good while ago and commenting to myself how obvious CS can be that even the voice actors notice it. x3
Lol! Same here. At least we know "Drew" felt something. ;3
I wonder if their japanese or any of their other voice actors for that matter noticed it. That would sure be interesting to know.
Hello, I'd like to join the ContestShipping Discussion! ^_^ Is there some form of Sign-Up Question to answer? =O
When did you start to ship May and Drew together?
I was the weirdest kid back then. My favorite episodes were the ones with Pokémon contests. For some odd reason, I always thought they would end up together. The first episode I watched that involved Pokémon Contests was probably Spontaneous Combusken.
What's your favorite moment between May and Drew?
Hmm, probably the ending of Rhapsody in Drew!.
Last edited by Rakansen; 18th January 2013 at 2:00 AM. Reason: Spacing error :P
Not that I know of, so anyone is welcomed~ =D
Well, that would explain a lot. x) If someone who has never watched Pokemon before saw that episode first, they would think May and Drew liked each other. They have so many cute moments there, especially all the blushes. x3
I wanna jooooooin ! It's my favorite ship !
When did you start to ship May and Drew together ?
Since they meet each other. I boy bothering a girl is a sign of affection. Since the start, I knew they were going to be more than good friends.
What's your favorite moment between May and Drew ?
Mostly the episode Spontaneous Combusken!, for all the good stuff Brianna give us, but also May, We Harley Drew'd Ya! (when Solidad talks about Drew's feeling toward May) and The Unbeatable Lightness Of Seeing! (when May is often blushing to Drew, and there is a lot of confidences in this episode). But I loved all the episodes with May in Drew, I watch them closely to see every hints of a profound relationship between them.
