Opening this week, Art Gallery NSW's latest exhibition, Australian Vernacular Photography, explores the Australian photographic landscape of the late 20th century.
Hal Missingham, photographer and director of the gallery from 1945 to 1971, said in 1947:
In a country supposedly occupied by people indulging in a vigorous outdoor life, where are the [photographic] records of beach and sport … where are the photographs of the four millions of people who live and work in our cities? What are they like – what do they do – what do they wear, and think?
This proved to be a catalyst in the creation of an Australia photography landscape – a vernacular of sorts that this exhibition lets viewers define.
Eleanor Weber, the exhibition's co-curator, said the collection was not trying to pin down exactly what "vernacular" might be.
"I guess we're just trying to think about the particular way Australian photographers in the second part of 20th century treated Australian subjects or landscapes or scenes and, in so doing, actually put forward an idea of Australian photography."
Sixteen Australian photographers including David Moore, Robert McFarlane and Sue Ford are represented by some 27 photographs taken from the 1960s to the 2000s.
The Family of Man
In 1959, Edward Steichen's photography exhibit The Family of Man travelled to Australia from New York's Museum of Modern Art.
According to Weber: "It was essentially the introduction of international photography of a specific nation's vernacular to Australian audiences in material form."
It was a turning point, that saw photography in Australia change with each decade that followed – the 1960s saw greater access to photographic technology, courses and collection institutions emerged in the 1970s, and the 1980s, 1990s and 2000s saw a more critical approach to the art.
"It wasn't idealising, or trying to create an idea what an 'Australian photograph' might be – but rather, starting to photograph what was actually there – the reality," said Weber.
The frank and unflattering
The frank, and sometimes unflattering, images on show provide a stark and realistic scope of Australia amidst changing social times and awareness.
"There's this photo of these guys at The Rocks (see above image), just drinking beer - not particularly looking at the camera, and that's from the early 70s, by John Williams - he's very much into his street photography," said Weber.
Another piece in the exhibition, Blacktown Man by Gerrit Fokkema (feature image), was taken 10 years later, and provides a very different contribution to the vernacular.
"I think that shows an interesting shift. The fact he's looking at the camera shows he's obviously very aware. And it's this whole desolate, and benign, suburban scene, and the particular light that is very Australian – these types of threads that would go towards creating a vernacular."
The Artists
Associate Professor of Art History and Art Education at the University of New South Wales Joanna Mendelssohn said she was surprised by the selection of works in the exhibition.
"I'm surprised not to see any work by Sandy Edwards in the exhibition. As much as I admire Fiona Hall and Anne Zahalka, 'vernacular' isn't the term that comes to mind when I think of their work. Both are well known as mistresses of the staged composition."
"I'm also surprised not to see any pictures by Mervyn Bishop, Ricky Maynard, Brenda L.Croft or Peter Yanada McKenzie. Not having a single Indigenous photographer in an exhibition called 'vernacular' is notable. It looks like a very skewed exhibition indeed."
Australian Vernacular Photography runs February 8 to May 18 at the Art Gallery NSW. Full details of the exhibition can be found here.

Residential Elevator Maintenance 3 Things to Know
Residential elevators are installed for a variety of reasons. These elevators are sometimes necessary and sometimes a luxury. No matter what the reason is for installing one, proper maintenance is also vital to keep it in good working order. Elevators move slightly faster than people at anywhere from 5 to 22 miles per hour, which can be a tremendous help for those with mobility issues who have a hard time getting up stairs. As helpful as elevators are, maintaining them is just as important. Read below to see what things can impact proper maintenance and what factors influence how often maintenance should be performed.
One thing that will make a difference in how often an elevator company or elevator installation company provides maintenance

text: Background In Xuanwei Region, China, unvented interior coal burning up is certainly strongly connected with improved threat of lung chronic and cancer obstructive pulmonary disease. coal, was connected with pneumonia mortality positively. Annual lifetime and tonnage duration of smoky and smokeless coal use were positively connected with pneumonia mortality. Range improvement was connected with a 50% decrease in pneumonia fatalities (smoky coal users: HR, 0.521; 95% CI, 0.340C0.798; smokeless coal users: HR, 0.449; 95% CI, 0.215C0.937). Conclusions Our evaluation may be the initial to claim that indoor polluting of the environment from unvented coal burning up is an essential risk aspect for pneumonia loss of life in adults which improving venting by setting up a chimney is an efficient measure to diminish it. (ICD-9; Globe Health Company 1975). Statistical evaluation We included 42,422 topics (21,701 guys and 20,721 females) within the analysis. For every subject, we computed this at entrance into cohort follow-up as the amount of years in the topics birth date to at least one 1 January 1976. After entrance, topics could leave from follow-up in another of the following 3 ways: loss of life from pneumonia, loss of life from other notable causes prior to the scholarly research finished in 1996, dec 1996 or living by 31. Ages at entrance into with leave from follow-up ranged from 24 to 59 years and from 25 to 80 years, respectively. Within this report, the word range improvement identifies changing completely from fire-pit or range with out a chimney to range using a chimney. We built multivariable Cox versions utilizing the SAS PHREG method (edition 9.1.3; SAS Institute Inc., Cary, NC, United states) to calculate risk ratios (HRs) and 95% self-confidence intervals (CIs). Enough time adjustable (period axis) was age group, january 1976 and ending with age group at exit from follow-up you start with age group by 1. The results event was loss of life from pneumonia (ICD-9 unique codes 480, 481, 482, 483, 485, and 486). We regarded people who passed away from other notable causes prior to the scholarly research finished in 1996, dec 1996 or who continued to be alive by 31, as censored (competing-risks strategy). Within the versions, we assessed the consequences of coal make use of, range improvement, many years of cigarette smoking, and Mouse monoclonal to CD14.4AW4 reacts with CD14, a 53-55 kDa molecule. CD14 is a human high affinity cell-surface receptor for complexes of lipopolysaccharide (LPS-endotoxin) and serum LPS-binding protein (LPB). CD14 antigen has a strong presence on the surface of monocytes/macrophages, is weakly expressed on granulocytes, but not expressed by myeloid progenitor cells. CD14 functions as a receptor for endotoxin; when the monocytes become activated they release cytokines such as TNF, and up-regulate cell surface molecules including adhesion molecules.This clone is cross reactive with non-human primate many years of food preparation as time-dependent constant or categorical factors predicated on the beginning age group for each of the activities. To regulate for potential delivery cohort effects, versions had been stratified into seven delivery cohort strata: 1917C1921, 1922C1926, 1927C1931, 1932C1936, 1937C1941, 1942C1946, and 1947C1951. We examined the info in four Cox versions: two individual versions for women and men, and two individual versions for smoky coal and smokeless coal users. All topics utilized either smoky or smokeless coal Almost, therefore we included just the adjustable usage of smokeless coal (yes or no) within the sex-specific versions. We computed the time-dependent factors tonnage each year and duration in years for any coals combined as well as for smoky coal and smokeless coal individually, grouped into tertiles. We utilized two time-dependent factors for range improvement: a binary adjustable for the entire effect of range improvement (0 before and 1 following the age group at range improvement) and a categorical adjustable indicating period since range improvement (0C6, 7C13, 14 years). We examined the time-dependent adjustable for duration of cigarette smoking (20C40 years or 40 years), in accordance with a reference group of topics who hadn't smoked or smoked < twenty years, within the mens model. Another time-dependent was utilized by us binary adjustable of cigarette smoking in coal typeCspecific versions, which turned from 0 to at least one 1 at this at first SNT-207707 IC50 smoking cigarettes. Similarly, we utilized a time-dependent binary adjustable for food preparation (yes/no) within the mens model and coal typeCspecific versions; we included two time-dependent SNT-207707 IC50 factors for SNT-207707 IC50 different durations (20C40 years or 40 years) of food preparation, in accordance with a reference group of topics who hadn't cooked meals or prepared for < twenty years, within the womens model. As well as the factors previously listed, we included the next variables within the Cox versions: = 0.005) (data not shown). The annual tonnage of coal utilized as well as the duration of coal use within years were connected with considerably improved risk at the best tertiles. The HRs for duration and tonnage of coal use were a little bigger among women than among men. The true amount of people in the house was connected with a borderline.

Sunday saw the passing of a giant in the entertainment industry. George Carlin passed away from heart failure. He was 71 years old.
As I scanned the major-media "obits" for Carlin, I couldn't help but notice that most of them missed what to me, at least was the essence of George Carlin's contribution to the entertainment industry.
The media focused largely on his "7 Words" bit, and the boundaries he broke with respect to the FCC and obscenity rules. To me, however, his legacy after over fifty years in show business transcends that one routine.
George Carlin was a rare comic in a number of ways. First, he was smart. Very smart. He'd say things that sounded completely outlandish, but everything had an internal logic to it. He spent a lot of his time railing against religious conservatives, not focusing on their intolerance, but rather their illogic. An example: "Christian conservatives are against abortions, and against homosexuals. Well, who has fewer abortions than homosexuals? You'd think they'd be natural allies…"
A second unique quality of Carlin is that, despite his apparent liberal bent, he was really against politics as a whole. Again, his criticisms have the virtue of being funny not only for the delivery, but for their accuracy.
Carlin also did not take himself too seriously. He would intersperse his political and social commentary with more base items such as fart jokes: "Where would a comedy show be without fart jokes?", and everyman commentaries about the daily hazards of driving (mostly being on the same road as Carlin), the poor quality of television, and annoying habits that people have.
No target was off limits to Carlin. Even while doing commercials for 1-800-COLLECT, he had anti-phone company material in his act. (He acknowledged it in his routine: "If any of you have some cognitive dissonance about the fact that I do these jokes and do commercials for the phone company, well, you're just going to have to figure that shit out on your own.") Despite (or perhaps because of) his stint as Mr. Conductor on a popular children's show, he railed against children, and our societies' treatment (or, worship, as he put it) of them: "Children are just like any other group of people: a couple of winners, and a whole lot of losers."
As an aspiring comic, I grew up on George Carlin. From Klass Klown to Life Is Worth Losing, I watched his HBO specials, and listened to his routines. He never stopped being funny, and he never stopped being smart.
I can only hope that my own material could live up to the brilliance, saavy, and heart of George Carlin. He was the gold standard of stand-up comedy, and he will be missed.

Flea & Tick Prevention: Keeping Your Pets Safe from Fleas & Ticks in San Jose
As the temperatures warm up, fleas and ticks become more active. This means that your pets are at risk of dealing with these parasites. Even indoor pets can become infested if these parasites find their way inside. At Bloom Plaza Animal Hospital, we offer flea and tick prevention to keep your pets safe.
Fleas and Ticks in San Jose
Fleas and ticks in San Jose can harm pets in different ways. While fleas are generally more of a nuisance, they can become a serious problem for pets with allergies. Cats and dogs that are allergic to flea bites can end up with severe itchiness that causes excessive scratching. This puts these pets at risk of having a bacterial skin infection that requires prompt treatment. Pets can pick up fleas from being outdoors or from an indoor environment that has these tiny pests.
Ticks can be a serious health issue for pets due to the diseases they transmit. These parasites feed on pets, which can spread Lyme disease and other infectious illnesses. Since these diseases can become life-threatening, preventing tick bites is essential. Ticks can jump onto pets when they are outside, especially in fields and wooded areas.
Parasite Prevention in San Jose
One of the most effective ways to keep fleas and ticks from bothering your pets this spring and summer is through prevention. At Bloom Plaza Animal Hospital, our veterinarian in San Jose can provide parasite prevention for fleas and ticks, which significantly lowers your pets' risk of being bitten or infested. Prevention products include topical treatments that you put on the skin, oral medications and collars that keep these pests at bay. Our veterinarian will discuss all of your prevention options with you and help you choose the ones that will provide your pets with the best protection.

Students will have a broad range of choices for their independent reading this year – pretty much any book is open. I ask that students read something they have not read before and that it be close to their grade level. I can help in finding appropriate books.
Students will be calculating their reading rates, and from there they will determine their reading goals of pages per week.
We will start with the goal of 2 hours worth of reading per week; I hope that students will find themselves able to read more.
Students will then have a choice of assignment to do after a book is finished. I will keep track of their reading during "conferences" as we have independent reading time, and students will keep track of their own goals for pages per week.
Independent Reading counts for 10% of the grade, but more than getting a good average in this category, I want students to develop stamina for long periods of reading. This skill will help them in their future.
AP Literature students are asked to alternate between books from the AP list and any book of their choice. Any student is welcome to read a book from the AP list, and students may certainly read them exclusively if they desire.
AP Independent Reading Book List
For all students:
Independent Reading Permission Contract – A copy of this went home with your student, and I asked you and your student to sign a sheet stating that you've read this letter.
As students are looking for another book to read, I recommend using this website: http://www.whatshouldireadnext.com/.

This is one of those recommendations where in a way I had reviewed the album in my mind before I actually had the album. After vibing to the first single #Trendin a few weeks ago someone on the GFM team hipped me to the snippets of Condensate that had made their way to Amazon. I distinctly remember having two thoughts upon hearing the teaser: 1. This project is great for music and 2. Notice has been served: Musicians are at work here.
My thought behind why Condensate is great for music is that when you listen to the project that's truly what you find contained within all the tracks music. What do I mean? Well you know how sometimes you can go to a restaurant(fast food) and there might be hamburgers or chicken listed on the menu and after you dine upon said food you question if that's truly what you had. But then you can go down the street to the local restauranteur(whose employees you have seen standing in line behind you from time to time getting supplies at the store that sells high quality food items) and get the real deal that satisfies and is good for you. The notice that is served is that there really are musicians out there who still respect music and their fans enough to give them good stuff that's good for them.
As I listened to Condensate I had to keep reminding myself who I was actually listening to and then my inner-voice would kick in and say "This is what songwriting/production/arranging/entertainment sounds like." Ultimately when you combine all those elements together you are ultimately trying reach that level where you are just simply entertained. Condensate is definitely entertaining: I cannot tell you the last time that I've laughed and smiled this much listening to an album of music. I mean between the interplay of Morris Day and Jerome Benton, the skits, the wordplay of the song lyrics… the album feels like you were given an opportunity to literally just hang with the 7ven listen to some stories, music, jokes and just have a great time.
Musically Condensate is everything you would expect from The Band Formerly Known As The Time. I don't mean in a predictable way or a recycled way. This is all new music with a 2011 sensibility but with all the fire and playing that used to be the standard in music. We know the folks who continue to uphold that standard for music and 7ven of them happen to be in the same band and decided to make a great new recording for lover's of music. Did I just say band? Yesss!!!
The energy is apparent when Monte Moir, Jellybean Johnson, Jesse Johnson, Jerome Benton, Terry Lewis, Jimmy Jam and Morris Day come together. You can hear the individuality but the sum of the parts… from Jesse Johnson's incredible guitar work on cuts like "Sick" and "AYDKMN", Jellybean's drum work throughout and the personal fave "If I Was Your Man", the aforementioned banter between Morris and Jerome plus Morris' lead vocal/quaterbacking duties calling for solos and hits in a nod to the GFOS, the keyboard work on Monte and Jimmy Jam (a lot of those sounds you won't find in a box), the bass work of Terry Lewis that locks the grooves in air tight.
Condensate is an album, not that you didn't know that but the emphasis is on album something you can play from start to finish without skipping tracks. The recording will grab you from the outset: The opening skit into "Strawberry Lake" will have you ready to gas up the car put the disc in the player and hit the highway just to listen while you drive. It's just that much energy emanating from the speakers that it implores you to want to experience the project uninterrupted in its entirety and sometimes you can only achieve that on a drive. My recommendation here is to pick up a bottle of the 30 year vintage in the form of Condensate out Tuesday October 18th.

FCGH – Establishing International Benchmarks for Accountability and Justiciability for the Right to Health
The distinction of Human Rights into two genres, to wit: Primary ('Fundamental rights') and Secondary ('Economic, Social and Cultural {ECOSOC} rights'), though basically theoretical, assumes a life of its own in jurisdictions where this dichotomy is entrenched as law or in a territory's constitution. Fundamental Rights refer to such rights as the Right to Life, Freedom of Movement, Freedom of Association and mostly 'political rights'; whilst ECOSOC rights refer to such rights as the right to education, housing and good environment, amongst others.
In most countries, Primary rights are justiciable (remedies for their violations can be secured through judicial processes); on the converse, Secondary rights are often non-justiciable (States cannot be compelled to provide these rights or ensure their enjoyment).
The right to health is often times classified as Secondary rights, and in some jurisdictions for some health issues, as tertiary. In a number of states, however, the right to Health is rendered non-justiciable. These rights are regarded as rights the state will accord its citizens whensoever the authorities consider their states have sufficient resources to accommodate such.
With the advent of increasingly invasive and modern technologies, the world has fast evolved into a global village where it takes mere hours for the most egregious of health situations to be transmitted and/or replicated from one corner of the globe to the other. It thus becomes imperative, for the health and safety of all wherever, that global minimum standards in accountability and justifiability for health rights be mutually agreed upon and enforced by all members of the international community.
The Framework Convention on Global Health (FCGH) is expected to provide a globally acceptable and enforceable instrument under which, amongst several issues affecting health globally, the right to health, responsibilities of states to cater for citizen health and mechanisms for ensuring accountability and justiciability for the right to health, will be addressed and provided for.

Instructions for Form 2106
Employee Business Expenses
Section references are to the Inter nal Revenue Code.
Step 1—Enter Your Expenses
Line 1—Enter your vehicle expenses from Part II, line 22 or line 29. Line 2—Enter parking fees, etc., that did not involve overnight travel. Do not include transportation expenses for commuting to and from work. See the line 15 instructions for the definition of commuting. Line 3—Enter expenses for lodging and transportation connected with overnight travel away from your tax home. You cannot deduct any expenses for travel away from your tax home if the period of temporary employment is more than 1 year. Do not include expenses for meals and entertainment. For details, including limitations, see Pub. 463. Generally, your tax home is your main place of business or post of duty regardless of where you maintain your family home. If you do not have a regular or main place of business because of the nature of your work, then your tax home is the place where you regularly live. If you do not fit either of these categories, you are considered an itinerant and your tax home is wherever you work. As an itinerant, you are not away from home and cannot claim a travel expense deduction. For more details on tax home, see Pub. 463. Line 4—Enter other job-related expenses not listed on any other line on this form. Include expenses for business gifts, education (tuition and books), home office, trade publications, etc. For details, including limitations, see Pub. 463 and Pub. 529.

General Instructions
Purpose of Form
Use Form 2106 if you are an employee deducting expenses attributable to your job.
Who Must File Form 2106
A Were you an employee during the year? Yes B Did you have job-related business expenses?

Cat. No. 64188V
instructions on how to report your expenses. If you are deducting depreciation or claiming a section 179 deduction on a cellular telephone or other similar telecommunications equipment, a home computer, etc., get Form 4562, Depreciation and Amortization, to figure the depreciation and section 179 deduction. Enter the depreciation and section 179 deduction on line 4. Do not include expenses for meals and entertainment, taxes, or interest. Deductible taxes are entered on lines 5 through 9 of Schedule A. Employees cannot deduct car loan interest. Note: If line 4 is your only entry, do not complete Form 2106. Instead, enter your expenses directly on Schedule A, line 20. Line 5—Enter your allowable meals and entertainment expense. Include meals while away from your tax home overnight and other business meals and entertainment. Instead of actual cost, you may be able to claim the "standard meal allowance" for your daily meals and incidental expenses while away from your tax home overnight. Under this method, you deduct a specified amount, depending on where you travel, instead of keeping records of your actual meal expenses. However, you must still keep records to prove the time, place, and business purpose of your travel. See Pub. 463 to figure your deduction using the standard meal allowance.
mileage, and business purpose of the vehicle use. See Pub. 917 for more details. Allocating Your Reimbursement. If your employer paid you a single amount that covers both meals and entertainment, as well as other business expenses, you must allocate the reimbursement so that you know how much to enter in Column A and Column B of line 7. Use the following worksheet to figure this allocation. Worksheet
1. Enter the total amount of reimbursements your employer gave you that were not reported to you in box 1 of Form W-2 2. Enter the total amount of your expenses for the periods covered by this reimbursement 3. Of the amount on line 2, enter your total expense for meals and entertainment 4. Divide line 3 by line 2. Enter the result as a decimal (to at least two places) 5. Multiply line 1 by line 4. Enter the result here and in Column B, line 7 6. Subtract line 5 from line 1. Enter this result here and in Column A, line 7
See Pub. 502 for more details.
Part II—Vehicle Expenses
There are two methods for computing vehicle expenses—the Standard Mileage Rate and the Actual Expense Method. In some cases, you must use the Actual Expense Method instead of the Standard Mileage Rate. Use the following two flowcharts to see which method you should use. Rural mail carriers should see the line 22 instructions instead of using the flowcharts for special rules that apply to them. If you have the option of using either the Standard Mileage Rate or Actual Expense Method, you should calculate your expenses using each method, and use the method most advantageous to you. However, when completing Form 2106, fill in only the sections that apply to the method you choose. For Vehicles Placed in Service After 1980
Did you own the vehicle for which you are claiming a deduction for vehicle expenses? Yes Did you use the standard mileage rate the first year the vehicle was placed in service? No No Use Actual Expense Method. (Complete Sections A and C.) Use Actual Expense Method. (Complete Sections A, C, and D.)
Step 3—Figure Expenses To Deduct on Schedule A (Form 1040)
Line 10—Special Rules. If you are a qualified performing artist (defined below), include your performing-arts-related expenses in the total on Form 1040, line 30. Write "QPA" and the amount in the space to the left of line 30. Your performing-arts-related business expenses are deductible whether or not you itemize deductions on Schedule A. The expenses are not subject to the 2% limit that applies to most other employee business expenses. A qualified performing artist is an individual who (1) performed services in the performing arts as an employee for at least two employers during the tax year, (2) received from at least two of those employers wages of $200 or more per employer, (3) had allowable business expenses attributable to the performing arts of more than 10% of gross income from the performing arts, and (4) had adjusted gross income of $16,000 or less before deducting expenses as a performing artist. To be treated as a qualified performing artist, a married individual must also file a joint return, unless the individual and his or her spouse lived apart for all of 1994. On a joint return, requirements (1), (2), and (3) must be figured separately for each spouse. However, requirement (4) applies to the combined adjusted gross income of both spouses. If you are an individual with a disability and are claiming impairment-related work expenses (defined below), enter the part of the line 10 amount attributable to those expenses on Schedule A, line 28, instead of on Schedule A, line 20. Your impairmentrelated work expenses are not subject to the 2% limit that applies to most other employee business expenses. Impairment-related work expenses are the allowable expenses of an individual with physical or mental disabilities for attendant care at his or her place of employment. They also include other expenses in connection with the place of employment that enable the employee to work.
Step 2—Enter Amounts Your Employer Gave You for Expenses Listed in Step 1
Line 7—Enter the amounts your employer (or third party) gave you for expenses shown in Step 1 that were NOT reported to you in box 1 of your Form W-2. This includes any amount reported under code "L" in box 13 of Form W-2. Amounts reported under code "L" are certain reimbursements you received for business expenses that were not included as wages on Form W-2 because the expenses were treated as meeting specific IRS substantiation requirements. Generally, when your employer pays for your expenses, the payments should not be included in box 1 of your Form W-2 if, within a reasonable period of time, you (a) accounted to your employer for the expenses, AND (b) were required to return, and did return, any payments not spent (or considered not spent) for business expenses. If these payments were included in box 1, ask your employer for a corrected Form W-2. Accounting to your employer means that you gave your employer documentary evidence and an account book, diary, or similar statement to verify the amount, time, place, and business purpose of each expense. You are also treated as having accounted for your expenses if either of the following applies: ● Your employer gave you a fixed travel allowance that is similar in form to the per diem allowance specified by the Federal Government and you verified the time, place, and business purpose of each expense. See Pub. 463 for more details. ● Your employer reimbursed you for vehicle expenses at the standard mileage rate or according to a flat rate or stated schedule, and you verified the date of each trip,
Use either the: Standard Mileage Rate (Complete Sections A and B.) OR Actual Expense Method. (Complete Sections A, C, and D.)
For Vehicles Placed in Service Before 1981
Did you own the vehicle for which you are claiming a deduction for vehicle expenses? Yes Did you use a depreciation method other than straight line (SL) or claim additional first-year depreciation during a previous year for this vehicle? Yes Use Actual Expense Method. (Complete Sections A and C.) Use either the: Standard Mileage Rate (Complete Sections A and B.) OR Actual Expense Method. (Complete Sections A, C, and D.)
Use Actual Expense Method. (Complete Sections A, C, and D.)
Section A.—General Information
All individuals claiming vehicle expenses must complete Section A. If you used two vehicles for business during the year, use a separate column for each vehicle in Sections A, C, and D. If you used more than two, attach a computation using the format in Sections A, C, and D. Line 11—Date placed in service is generally the date you first start using your vehicle. However, if you first start using your vehicle for personal use and later convert it to business use, the vehicle is treated as placed
Page 2
in service on the date you started using it for business. Line 12—Enter the total miles you drove each vehicle during the year for all purposes. However, if you converted your vehicle during the year from personal to business use (or from business to personal use), enter the total miles only for the months during which you drove the vehicle for business purposes. Line 13—Do not include commuting miles on this line; commuting miles are not considered business miles. See the line 15 instructions for the definition of commuting. Line 14—Divide line 13 by line 12 to figure your business use percentage. However, if you converted your vehicle during the year from personal to business use (or from business to personal use), multiply this percentage by the number of months during which you drove the vehicle for business purposes and divide the result by 12. Line 15—Enter your average daily round trip commuting distance. If you went to more than one work location, figure the average. Generally, commuting is travel between your home and a work location. However, travel between your home and a work location is not commuting if you meet ANY of the following conditions: 1. You travel to a temporary work location outside the metropolitan area where you live and normally work. A temporary work location is one at which you perform services on an irregular or short-term basis (generally a matter of days or weeks). 2. You have at least one regular work location away from your home and you travel to a temporary work location in the same trade or business, regardless of the distance. 3. Your home is your principal place of business under section 280A(c)(1)(A) (for purposes of deducting expenses for business use of your home) and you travel to another work location in the same trade or business, regardless of whether that location is regular or temporary and regardless of distance. Line 16—If you do not know the total actual miles you used your vehicle for commuting during the year, figure the amount to enter on line 16 by multiplying the number of days during the year that you used each vehicle for commuting by the average daily round trip commuting distance in miles. However, if you converted your vehicle during the year from personal to business use (or from business to personal use), enter the miles you used your vehicle for commuting only for the same period of time you drove your vehicle for business purposes.
method other than straight line. If you do not use the standard mileage rate in the first year, you may not use it for that car for any subsequent year. You may also deduct state and local personal property taxes. Enter state and local personal property taxes on Schedule A, line 7. Line 22—If you are a rural mail carrier (defined below) and you use the standard mileage rate to figure your vehicle expense, multiply the number of miles on line 13 by 43.5 cents (.435) instead of 29 cents. You may use the higher mileage rate if you (1) were an employee of the U.S. Postal Service in 1994, (2) used your own vehicle to collect and deliver mail on a rural route, and (3) did not claim depreciation for the vehicle for any tax year beginning after 1987. If you are also claiming the standard mileage rate for mileage driven in another business activity, you must figure the deduction for that mileage on a separate Form 2106. See Pub. 917 for more details.
Section D.—Depreciation of Vehicles
Depreciation is an amount you can deduct to recover the cost or other basis of your vehicle over a certain number of years. In some cases, you may elect to expense, under section 179, part of the cost of your vehicle in the year of purchase. For more details, see Pub. 917. Line 30—Enter the vehicle's actual cost or other basis (unadjusted for prior years' depreciation). If you traded in your vehicle, your basis is the adjusted basis of the old vehicle (figured as if 100% of the vehicle's use had been for business purposes) plus any additional amount you pay for your new vehicle. Reduce your basis by any diesel fuel tax credit, qualified electric vehicle credit, or deduction for clean-fuel vehicles you claimed. For any vehicle purchased after 1986, add to your basis any sales tax paid on the vehicle. If you converted the vehicle from personal use to business use, your basis for depreciation is the smaller of the vehicle's adjusted basis or its fair market value on the date of conversion. Line 31—If 1994 is the first year your vehicle was placed in service and the percentage on line 14 is more than 50%, you may elect to deduct as an expense a portion of the cost (subject to a yearly limit). To calculate this section 179 deduction, multiply the part of the cost of the vehicle that you choose to expense by the percentage on line 14. The total of your depreciation and section 179 deduction cannot be more than $2,960 multiplied by the percentage on line 14. Your section 179 deduction for the year cannot be more than the income from your job and any other active trade or business on your Form 1040. Caution: If you are claiming a section 179 deduction on other property, or you placed more than $200,000 of section 179 property in service during the year, use Form 4562 to figure your section 179 deduction. Enter the amount of the section 179 deduction allocable to your vehicle (from Form 4562, line 12) on Form 2106, line 31. Note: For section 179 purposes, the cost of the new vehicle does not include the adjusted basis of the vehicle you traded in. Example: $15,000 Cost including taxes Adjusted basis of trade-in – $ 2,000 = $13,000 Section 179 basis Limit on depreciation and section 179 deduction $ 2,960 Smaller of: Section 179 basis, or Limit on depreciation and $ 2,960 section 179 deduction Percentage on line 14 x 75% Section 179 deduction = $ 2,220 Line 32—To figure the basis for depreciation, multiply line 30 by the percentage on line 14. From that result, subtract the full amount of any section 179 deduction (and half of any investment credit taken before 1986 unless you took the reduced credit).
Section C.—Actual Expenses
Line 23—Enter your total annual expenses for gasoline, oil, repairs, insurance, tires, license plates, or similar items. Do not include state and local personal property taxes or interest expense you paid. Deduct state and local personal property taxes on Schedule A, line 7. Employees cannot deduct car loan interest. Line 24a—If you rented or leased a vehicle during the year instead of using one you own, enter the cost of renting. Also, include on this line any temporary vehicle rentals not included on line 3, such as when your car was being repaired. Line 24b—If you leased a vehicle for a term of 30 days or more after June 18, 1984, you may have to reduce your deduction for vehicle lease payments by an amount called the inclusion amount. You may have to enter the inclusion amount on line 24b if—
The lease term began: And the vehicle's fair market value on the first day of the lease exceeded:
Section B.—Standard Mileage Rate
If you do not own the vehicle, skip Section B and go to Section C. You may use the standard mileage rate instead of actual expenses to figure the deductible costs of operating a passenger car, including a van, pickup, or panel truck. If you want to use the standard mileage rate for a car placed in service after 1980, you must do so in the first year you place your car in service. In later years, you may deduct actual expenses but you may not use a depreciation
During 1994 $14,900 During 1993 $14,300 During 1992 $13,700 During 1991 $13,400 $12,800 After 1986 but before 1991 If the lease term began after June 18, 1984, but before January 1, 1987, see Pub. 917 to find out if you have an inclusion amount. See Pub. 917 to figure the inclusion amount. Enter the inclusion amount on line 24b. If you have no inclusion amount, leave line 24b blank. Line 25—If during 1994 your employer provided a vehicle for your business use and included 100% of its annual lease value in box 1 of your Form W-2, enter this amount on line 25. If less than 100% of the annual lease value was included in box 1 of your Form W-2, skip line 25.
Page 3
Line 33—If you used the standard mileage rate in the first year the vehicle was placed in service and now elect to use the actual expense method, you MUST use the straight line method of depreciation for the vehicle's estimated useful life. Otherwise, use the chart below to find the depreciation method and percentage to enter on line 33. (For example, if you placed a car in service on December 1, 1994, and you use the method and percentage in column (a), enter "200 DB 5%" on line 33.) To use the chart, first find the date you placed the vehicle in service (line 11). Then, select the depreciation method and percentage from column (a), (b), (c), or (d). For vehicles placed in service before 1994, use the same method you used on last year's return unless a decline in your business use requires a change to the straight line method. For vehicles placed in service during 1994, select the depreciation method and percentage after reading the explanation for each column below. Column (a)—You may use column (a) only if the business use percentage on line 14 is more than 50%. The method in this column, the 200% declining balance method, will give you the largest deduction in the year your vehicle is placed in service. This column is also used for vehicles placed in service before 1987 and depreciated under ACRS (accelerated cost recovery system). Column (b)—You may use column (b) only if the business use percentage on line 14 is more than 50%. The method in this column, the 150% declining balance method, will give you a smaller depreciation deduction than in column (a) for the first 3 years. However, you will not have a "depreciation adjustment" on this item for alternative minimum tax purposes. This may result in a smaller tax liability if you must file Form 6251, Alternative Minimum Tax—Individuals. Column (c)—You must use column (c), or column (d) if applicable, if the business use percentage on line 14 is 50% or less. The method in this column is the straight line method over 5 years. It is optional if the business use percentage on line 14 is more than 50%. Note: If your vehicle was used more than 50% for business in the year it was placed in service and used 50% or less in a later year, part of the depreciation and section 179 deduction previously claimed may have to be added back to your income in the later year. Figure the amount to be included in income on Form 4797, Sales of Business Property. Column (d)—You must use column (d) if you placed your vehicle in service before 1987 and you elected the straight line method over a recovery period of 12 years. Caution: If you placed other business property in service during the year you placed your vehicle in service (for any year after 1986), or you used your vehicle predominantly within an Indian reservation, you may not be able to use the chart shown below. See Pub. 534 for the proper depreciation rate to use.

President Donald Trump will nominate Richard Grenell to be his ambassador to NATO, according to a White House official, Grenell has been a Fox News contributor for four years and a Trump supporter since the start of the campaign.
His name had circulated as a candidate for Trump's ambassador to the UN. In 2014, Grenell said on Fox that Congress should push for Ukraine to join NATO, a move that would infuriate Russia.

Allison Marseille's main travel concern is the weather.
But the Hamburg, Germany, resident ran into something unexpected while traveling to Somerset Tuesday.
Marseille had borrowed a car from her parents, Joe and Karen Gilmore of Rockwood, to visit a friend on the other side of Pittsburgh. She was returning home to visit her family for the holidays.
She entered the Pennsylvania Turnpike around 7:30 p.m. on the other side of Pittsburgh. About a half-mile into her trip she started noticing cars pulled over on the side of the road.
"I started to notice the car was starting to handle poorly," she said. "Just driving strange."
She said the cars on the side of the road appeared to have shredded tires.
"I thought someone had dumped some nails or something like that on the road," she said.
What she didn't know at the time is a leaking valve on a tanker spread driveway sealant over the eastbound lanes of the turnpike between New Castle and the Oakmont Service Plaza.
"I went really slowly and got to the next exit," she said.
She exited the turnpike at Allegheny Valley and asked the toll booth operator if there was a problem on the road. That is when she discovered that a truck that had been leaking driveway sealant was stopped two miles down the road. She drove to a nearby McDonald's and assessed the damage.
"All four tires had that tar in them," she said. "The front tires have more."
She said the gooey substance also got into the wheels and wheel wells.
"Hopefully we will get some sort of an estimate soon as to what damage has really been done," she said.
She called her parents to come and pick her up. A flatbed tow truck was needed to haul the car to Greensburg.
Because it was dark and raining Marseille said she did not notice the substance on the road.
"Everything is dark and shiny," she said. "It really is not something you would look for. It wasn't something I think anybody could have avoided."
She was disappointed that there was no warning from turnpike officials and that the lane was not closed.
"I'm sure it wasn't anything they could have expected," she said. "I am disappointed during such a big travel day they would let people drive into something like that."
She said that everyone she encountered was nice — from the gentleman in the toll booth to the McDonald's employees who let stranded motorists stay at their facility.
"Most people were relatively calm," she said. "Everybody was upset something like this could happen and they were allowed to just drive into such a mess."
After her parents assessed the "black drippy goo" on their vehicle they had to come up with a plan to get back to Somerset while avoiding the turnpike. They traveled to the next exit, which was after the rest stop where the leaky truck was stopped.
"It's difficult in that part of town without the turnpike," she said. "It's not easy to reroute. But it was certainly easier than messing up another car."
Although the spill could not have been avoided Marseille said she was upset she damaged her parents' car.
"They only had that car for about a month," she said.
Turnpike officials are asking motorists whose vehicles sustained damage from the spill to contact the insurer of the company whose truck spilled the product, MTS Transport LLC of Stevensville, Md.
That insurer, Travelers Insurance Co., can be reached at 1-800-238-6225. The turnpike estimates that hundreds of vehicles were damaged during the incident, which was limited to eastbound lanes. Owners of disabled vehicles left at the staging area should contact the turnpike's Traffic Operations Center at 1-800-932-0586 to make arrangements to have their vehicle towed. For additional information call the commission's customer assistance center at 1-800-331-3414.

@Kaylelele Read your latest article on Apple Photos vs Google Photos. You're wrong on one huge aspect of photo editing in Google Photos: it's not just filters based. Yes, Google gives you more filters but touch the slider icon and edit all the settings just like in Apple Photos.

Today was the first day of the Aeros Winter Race. A beautiful, sunny day. We had a 101 km task, racing up and down the ridges and having a few crossings in between.
The thing I was most interested in was how I was going to climb in comparison to the others with the new, smaller wing. And that definitely wasn't a disappointment. And I'm sure I will be climbing better once I really get to know the glider.
So, after some experimenting in the start gate and wanting to fly more on my own than in the gaggle, I had a pretty bad start. But after 30 km, Seppi and I had caught up with the leading gaggle. But at that moment, I also played it a little too safe and immediately lost the gaggle again. Anyway, after being a few minutes behind on the furthest turnpoint (Lijak), I got low and into trouble. I stayed low for 10 long km and lost half an hour. After that, I was happy to bring it back to goal. 17th on 56 competitors. More days to come.

There are several instances in our lives when we feel like – Oh! I wish I would have known that before! The fact is applicable to various life aspects like career, relationships, and even money. Imagine if you could travel back in time to your 20s. Wouldn't you be wealthier than you are currently are? Thinking of going back in time offers you a sense of what you could have done better with the knowledge you have in the present. Today, we will share some valuable money lessons for 20-year olds that we would have told our younger selves.
1. Start by Early Savings
When you are young and carefree, you have so many things to enjoy in life. Whether it is going on a shopping spree with friends, watching movies with your gang, getting online subscriptions to binge-watch popular series', or going on overpriced coffee outings, you have several such things on your list. For all of this, your savings takes a back seat.
We understand that it is not easy to save money when you are young. The minimal amount of allowance you get is hardly enough for your routine and fun activities. But, if you do not want to have regrets in the future, then savings is the answer.
Follow the 'pay yourself first' rule. Keep aside an amount, no matter how minimal, from the allowance you get and deposit it in a separate savings account. The thing that matters the most is starting to save as early as possible. Remember, even a small amount of money saved will build up to a secure financial status in the future.
2. Track Your Expenses
Once you have taken care of your savings, the next step is to track your expenses. Without knowing where you money is going, you may end up with a shortage of finances and regrets every month end. Keeping a track of where your money goes helps you cut down on unnecessary expenses for a better future.
Now, this does not mean going on for days without spending a penny or sacrificing your wishes. Treating your loved ones or going on that life-changing road trip with your buddies is absolutely fine. Unless and until you minimise expenses on unnecessary things, it is fine to spend on things you love. So, first figure out where you money is being spent and divide the things you really care and don't care about. May be you can let go that expensive shirt that you wouldn't even think about after years. Spending consciously is the key to a regret-free financial future.
3. Have a Side Income
Who said you cannot earn when you are a teen or a 20 year old student. While you might be forced to limit your savings, no one would stop you from earning a bit. As a young and able person, you may not have enough money but you definitely have a great amount of time that can be used to your advantage. Use your spare time to earn a little money on the side.
If you think no one would offer a job to a person who is yet to develop skills, then you are wrong. There are several things that you can do out of your interests and routine. If you love teaching you can tutor kids or if you are good at designing you can freelance or take a part time job at SMEs. There's something for everyone out there. Figure out what you love and start building a side income for yourself.
4. Think Twice before Trading and working for Multi-Level Marketing Firms
One can earn money in various ways. This also includes trading in stocks and working with multi level marketing firms. Being young, you might feel invincible but you are vulnerable.
Some people may convince you to trade from home or join a multi-level marketing firm to earn quick. Be extremely cautious before accepting such offers. Trading is not as easy as you think. The markets are unpredictable. Without sufficient knowledge, you could end up in a big loss. Most multi-level marketing firms are interested in building teams to earn themselves, instead of focusing on products and services. There are no shortcuts to success, so, beware and go the safe route.
5. Invest for Long Term Benefits
Once you have some income, it is time to look up to the proven way of becoming wealthy – Investments. By investments, we mean putting in money for long-term gains. When you are 20, you have a long to invest and gain substantial returns. Put your money in proven investments like profitable stocks and bonds and stick with them for long-term. It is a fact that anyone who sticks to their investment for around 20 or more years has gained substantial wealth. And, by starting early you give yourself a huge amount of time to get rich. Research well, take help of professionals or your family to help you invest early and build a good future.
Here were some money lessons for 20 year old to build a strong foundation for a secure future. So, get going and follow these tips to create a path for a rich future.

HAGERSTOWN -- Without a campaign or even an election, Republican Andrew A. Serafini didn't shake hands or kiss babies on the way to becoming a state delegate.
His journey was compressed: Three weeks after Robert A. McKee resigned amid a police investigation, Serafini, his replacement, was sworn in by the House speaker in Annapolis.
On Friday, the Hagerstown-Washington County Chamber of Commerce gave the public a chance to meet the newest member of the county's state delegation.
"We would have done it earlier, but the guy was out of town," quipped Brien J. Poffenberger, the chamber's president.
With the legislative session freshly over, Serafini mingled with people -- many of whom he already knew -- who now will watch his performance as a representative.

LIBERTY, Ill. -- Two buildings and some equipment burned on the Ron Sorrill farm near Liberty on Monday afternoon.
Brad Denton, assistant fire chief, said the call came in about 3:30 p.m. Firefighters arriving at 695 East 2100th Place found a garage and a barn on fire.
Denton said one fire truck crossed what appeared to be a wooden bridge near the farm, but he kept other equipment from crossing the structure due to concerns about its load carrying ability.
"It was in our Liberty district and we called in Payson, Central Adams and Camp Point for manpower and equipment," Denton said.
Fire crews hauled water which was poured into dump tanks and pumped more than 100 yards up a hill to the one fire pumper near the fire.
In addition to the buildings, Denton said a couple of tractors and recreational vehicles caught fire.
A state fire marshal came to the scene and said the cause of the fire as undetermined.
One firefighter was taken to Blessing Hospital, where he was treated for heat and smoke inhalation. Denton said the unnamed firefighter was then released by the hospital.

Legendary punk Combo Bad Brains have pegged System of a Down's Shavo Odadjian to direct the first video from their forthcoming reunion album Build A Nation.
The video will be shot in Portland and also at the 2007 Sasquatch Festival, where Bad Brains will be performing. The band's performance will also be documented as well as a "making of the video" will also be filmed.
"I've been a fan of the Brains ever since I can remember," says Odadjian. "They are iconic pioneers of punk, not just the music but the attitude. The energy that comes off their stage is like no other. HR's performances have effected not only my band, but almost every heavy band in our era. Another major inspiration is their message of trying to promote righteousness and living the righteous way. I am going to rock this video for the Brains and try to capture their intense energy. It's a big responsibility... I'm honored."

A few pics and a few new things going on around here...
Seth is 3 months old today! He is also strong enough to sit in the bumbo seat. He loves it in there and it is nice for us to have somewhere else to sit him now! He just looks so cute sitting up in it. Hannah loves him in there and is always asking if he can sit in the "bum-bum" , as she calls it!
|I love this pic of my 2 favorite men! Most people think Seth looks a lot like Nate! I agree!
With the weather getting a little nicer lately, we went for our 1st walk in the double stroller!!! I loved it! I felt so proud pushing BOTH of my babies!
This is one of Hannah's new favorite snacks...dipping graham crackers in milk. She often asks if she can "dip"!! She also graduated from her high chair into her booster seat at the table. She is such a big girl!!
|Tummy time
Seth tolerates tummy time, but he really loves to lay on his back, hit the toys with his hands, and STARE at the flashing star light that hangs above him on his playmat!!
|Seth's 3 month pic with Maya
A few things about the kids...
Hannah is really really into puppies right now. At the library they have a dog statue and Hannah LOVES it! She sat and read it books for at least 30 minutes the other day and was continually asking for treats and bones to give it. It was really cute. Reading books is definitely one of her favorite things to do right now. She always wants to read books first thing when she wakes up and spends a lot of time just "reading" out loud on her own. Her favorite books right now are the "Spot" dog books. She is also really into looking at pictures of family members and saying all of their names. Throughout the day she will think of someone in our family and just start saying their names...it is sweet. I could go on and on with Hannah stories. She is just doing so many things all the time! Seth is doing well too. Staying awake and alert a good portion of the day with lots of smiles on his face. We couldn't be more thankful.

As our workforce ages and Baby Boomers continue to retire in droves, the transportation industry is struggling to fill positions with qualified, skilled tradespeople. These traditional "blue collar" jobs – including carpenters, welders, electricians, ironworkers, and masons – rank among top high-demand jobs that are hardest to fill.
At the same time, many capable young minority men, women and disadvantaged persons in urban communities face barriers and challenges to getting the education and skills training needed to hold living-wage jobs. Typical barriers for low income individuals trying to find better paying jobs are a lack of:
- Reliable transportation
- Gas money
- Proper safety equipment and work boots
- Language skills
- Driver's license
So how do we resolve these two needs? Enter a new program, Pre-Apprenticeship Support Services (or PASS for short), that brings together the state, highway construction industry and community services to give disadvantaged individuals in pre-apprenticeship programs the support they need to succeed. Authorized through the Connecting Washington transportation funding package, the PASS program is already showing great success in its startup phase.
In the past year, the PASS program has sponsored two training classes conducted by the Ironworkers Union, Local 86, in Tukwila. As part of the PASS program agreement, the union provides training through its certified apprenticeship program as well as job placement assistance for those who graduate. For the 28 individuals who completed the four-week training, 25 are now employed as ironworker apprentices, earning wages up to $25 per hour. They also have the potential for regular wage increases as they gain experience. These are people who were previously dependent on social programs; working multiple, low wage jobs; or unemployed.
|People going through our PASS program train with the Ironworkers Union to
become the next generation of skilled trades workers.
While in the training program, community-support-services providers were there to help trainees by removing barriers that might have otherwise caused them to fail. For one person, it was getting funds to pay for driver's training so they could get a license; for another, a gas card to help get them to and from training. Other PASS trainees received housing assistance that allowed them to cut back on their work schedule so they could attend training, and many trainees were provided required safety equipment in order to work.
Using this model, we're expanding the PASS program in next phase and offering training classes for carpenters and cement masons, in addition to ironworkers.
As of August 2017, the state invested approximately $83,000, and in return the graduated ironworkers have earned total wages of $537,800. That's money that supports their family, helps support their local economy and has reduced or eliminated their dependence on public assistance – a true win-win for Washington.


text: In order to increase knowledge and understanding of school as language practice,a life story approach is used to study multilingual pupils' narratives abouttheir nine years in compulsory school. Texts with the heading My SchoolYears are interpreted. Experiences of being outside and initially lacking accessto the linguistic contexts in school as well as approaches to linguistic competenceor incompetence emerge from the analysis. The pupils' overall languagepotential is invisible. Other findings are efforts toward what can be describedas linguistic uniformity, school and education and development of the pupils'social and cultural capital and linguistic competence.
