RUSSIA is convinced the next US Presidential election will spark a new civil war. And they should know. Moscow has been secretly manipulating US political opinions now for years.
"The next presidential election could lead to a definitive split in American society and a new civil war," blares the unsurprisingly state-run RIA Novosti. "Recently, internal dissent has grown in the United States and a "cultural conflict" has intensified, and the cases of sending bombs to prominent critics of the American president, such as Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, give ground to 'new prophecies' about a US civil war."
Moscow is expert at cultural conflict.
It's been almost single-handedly waging just such a war on Western society now for decades, analysts say.
"Russia's strategy (is) to push several conflicting narratives simultaneously, deepening existing divisions within American society and degrading trust in Western institutions and the democratic process," a report recently issued by the RAND international affairs think-tank reads.
And the civil war narrative is gaining ground, even in the US itself.
An article by The Intercept is just one of many asking historians and political analysts about the implications of rising extremism within the US. Titled "Donald Trump and the coming fall of the American Empire", historian Alfred McCoy argues the turmoil wracking the United States is likely to get much worse between now and 2020, and will "reach a new critical mass no later than 2030".
Moscow's divisive information campaign has seized upon an editorial in the Boston Globe last month by historian Niall Ferguson of Stanford University (formerly of Harvard) as evidence of an impending US split.
Why, isn't certain.
In it, he discusses a social media 'civil war'.
"As I've argued here before, there is a kind of cultural civil war already being fought on social media platforms such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. With the midterm elections … that culture war gets more febrile by the day," he wrote.
But Ferguson rejects the idea of a physical conflagration as not being on the cards.
"The evidence suggests that the extreme right and extreme left are two noisy minorities. They would be lost without one another, but they turn everyone else off," he concludes.
But this conclusion was ignored as inconvenient by the 30 or more articles appearing in Russia's digital media.
"In Harvard they're predicting war within the United States," blares a headline on Gazeta.ru
International affairs analysts are not surprised.
"It suits the Kremlin's narrative to portray US democracy as dysfunctional and failing," the Atlantic Council's Digital Forensic Research Lab analyst Ben Nimmo told Foreign Policy.
"It allows the Kremlin to argue that Western democracy is something to be feared, not emulated, and it allows it to point to the US as weak".
China has also jumped on the US civil war bandwagon.
Beijing media, also state run, has been running commentary contrasting US discord to its own — dystopia enforced — internal unity.
RELATED: How China has built the perfect dystopia
"Stop spreading hate or face the risk of slipping into a new Civil War," a China Plus editorial shouts.
It pointed to recent acts of US political terrorism.
"The common motivation behind such acts of terror or violence is hatred against political rivals, against different races, and against different religions, turning the United States from the Land of the Brave to the Land of the Deranged," the editorial reads.
"Perhaps the US should look to the example of European countries, many of which have promulgated laws to tackle illegal posts such as hate speech and fake news on social media platforms. Otherwise, the country indeed risks slipping into a new civil war, as my UPS truck driver warned a year ago."
US investigators have exposed "Project Lakhta", a Russian-backed operation targeting the US midterm elections. A US court indictment reveals Russian operatives had been distributing instructions to 'boost' an article from the far-right Infowars website on social media. It argues US citizens would "resort to mob violence" if President Trump was to lose the 2020 elections.
"It's entirely unsurprising that the Russian media will try to sex it up into a piece about civil war in the United States because there's nothing Vladimir Putin would like more," the original editorial's author, Niall Ferguson, told Foreign Policy.
RELATED: Is it okay to punch a Nazi? When politics turns violent
Moscow's focus on US turmoil is an attempt to blind its internal audience to its own, he says.
President Vladimir Putin's popularity has plummeted since he was re-elected by a landslide margin earlier this year.
He's been slashing pensions, among other unpopular public cost cutting exercises as his renegade nation struggles under international sanctions for its invasion of Crimea, the novichok poisonings in the UK, and social media manipulation of the 2016 US presidential elections.
Fighting back on social media, he feels, is much less risky than physical confrontation. And his intelligence agencies have more than enough practice.
"For more than a century, Russia has relied on disinformation, propaganda and other similar measures to achieve its objectives, " analyst Bruce McClintock wrote for the RAND international affairs think-tank. "For the last three decades, it has exploited its growing capabilities in cyberspace to spy on, influence and punish others."
RECOMMENDED: How an algorithm can sense your state of mind
The RAND Corporation has recently published a paper on how to counter Russia's social media attack plans.
"The Russian "disinformation chain" directs these campaigns starts from the very top — from Russian leadership, to Russian organs and proxies, through amplification channels such as social media platforms, and finally to … media consumers," it reads.
The only way to counter this is to review internal laws, establish new international norms of acceptable state behaviour, increase the transparency of social media platforms — and "prioritise defensive activities over punishments to shape Moscow's decision making".
Current attempts to counter this divisive narratives, it says, are proving "piecemeal and inadequate".

COBRE-PSF researcher featured in metropolitan newspaper
Research by COBRE-PSF Investigator Moriah Beck at Wichita State University was featured in the Wichita Eagle Beacon in December 2012. Her research focuses on unlocking the connection between cancer and protein.
The article cites Beck "as a rising star in biochemistry," according to one of the fellow scientists with whom she has worked. Beck began collaborating in a lab with Carol Otey, a scientist at the University of North Carolina in the late 1990s. In 2000, Otey discovered an interesting human protein called palladin. Twelve years later, Beck made a discovery that Otey says may reveal how palladin plays a crucial role in cancer metastasis, particularly with some pancreatic and breast cancers, and how it might be stopped.
Otey, who newspaper staff members reached at the University of North Carolina, said that what Beck did after 2000 was take a big risk, which led to a big discovery. There are many proteins now being discovered, Otey said. Any scientist who bets on only one protein — who invests a lot of time and energy into studying just that one — runs the risk that the protein will turn out to be a rather dull actor.
In 2007 Beck decided to risk spending years on palladin, because she had a hunch it was interesting. Otey was quoted in the article as saying she believes Beck's risk is going to pay off. Recent scientific papers and research studies done elsewhere, Otey said, are causing scientists to suspect there may be a link between palladin and the spread of some pancreatic and breast cancers. And now it looks like Beck is well on the way to proving that link, Otey said.

City life is comfortable, but we did not move to the other side of the world to dwell in another concrete jungle. We spent a while in Melbourne, one of the most livable cities in the world, yet a more adventurous approach to the journey was calling. Time to hit the road had come, and we picked a very special one to move on.
The Great Ocean Road is a scenic drive along the southern coast of the Australian state of Victoria, stretching from the town of Torquay, a hundred kilometers far from Melbourne, to Allansford. It is considered one of the most scenic drives in the world, and it was built by returning soldiers, as a permanent memorial to those who died while fighting in the First World War. Therefore, it can also be considered the largest world's war memorial. Winding through stunning beaches, steep cliffs and lush swathes of rainforest, it genuinely recalls the landscape of a Conrad's or Hemingway's book. The breeze coming from the Southern Ocean is cool and pristine, and looking at the horizon you come to understand that there's nothing more southern than Antartica in front of your eyes. Which makes you feel like in a quite remote corner of the Earth.
Before leaving Melbourne, we bought an old Mazda 626. We quit our jobs and left our rooms on rent, acquired some camping equipment, and last but not least, we went to pick our mother up at the airport. At the age of 68, she decided to fly all the way from Italy to join us in this two-week drive.
3, 2, 1. Ready to go.
Since we had already visited Torquay, we headed directly towards a much more exclusive place: Bells Beach. With its waves perfectly crafted in a magnificent bay, it is considered one of the world's surf meccas. It is not a case that the famous Australian brand Rip Curl organizes here the renowned international surf contest Rip Curl Pro Bells Beach, this edition, the 56th, taking place on April 12-24, 2017.
Now, there's to be said that the Great Ocean Road has become, through the years, a massive tourism industry. Although the nature and the landscapes are perfectly conserved and managed, the average accommodation and food along the way are quite expensive. The gorgeous towns became resort for wealthy owners, and the lifestyle tends to be leaning much more to "exclusive" than "budget". Nevertheless, if you just want to camp out and enjoy the wilderness at its fullest, alternative and quite smart solutions can be easily found through WikiCamps Australia, a brilliant app which is well worth all the $7 it costs.
This way, instead of finding our first overpriced accommodation in Anglesea, we ended up camping at the Whinbury Hill Equestrian Centre, a lovely spot just a few kilometers inland. Plunged in the Victorian countryside, it well served as a base to explore the surrounding points of interest, such as the several wineries scattered in the area and the beautiful Erskine Waterfalls, surrounded by a verdant rainforest rich in both wildlife and flora which especially our mother fell in love with.
The direct and constant contact with the Earth is the trademark of this route, and camping out is not only cheaper than any other solution, but by far the most authentic way of enjoying the majestic Australian open spaces.
Moreover, Parks Victoria should be praised for the smart way of managing its abundant natural resources. Abusive camping is forbidden, with a $303 fine applying, but there is plenty of campgrounds, many of them free of any charge. Where fees incur, you can easily book your spot online on the Parks Victoria website.
Among the others, is well worth mentioning the Allenvale Mill campsite, set right on the outskirts of Lorne, the second major town on the way. Here we spent two nights, pitching our tent right in the middle of the forest. The facilities are essentials, but the sounds and colors of nature just overwhelming. We fell asleep on the notes played by an orchestra of birds and koalas, and woke up with kangaroos grazing right in front of our tent. Simply breathtaking.
Lorne would probably like to be the most high-end spot along the way, with several boutiques and restaurants which tourists and second-property owners splash their money out with. We rather focused, though, on enjoying a beautiful sunset at Teddy's Lookout, and swimming at the scenic beach which we noticed right below the aforementioned panoramic spot.
Although the wild way of life is quite aesthetic, after four nights out the pleasure of a hot shower and a proper bed is equally appealing. Thankfully, there was a perfect location on the way to meet our needs: the Seacroft Estate. Nestled right along the Great Ocean Road in between Lorne and Apollo Bay, it was the best solution to restore our energies and cook some food in a proper kitchen, while enjoying a full view of the Southern Ocean.
Laying just a stones's throw away, the awe-inspiring Great Otway National Park was waiting for us in all its majesty. Stretching from the Otway Ranges to the relevant coastline, it represents the habitat of a rich biodiversity, a sample of which can be admired at the Maits Rest Rainforest Trail, a 800mt loop in one of the most ancient rainforest on the planet.
Apollo Bay is a much quieter town than Lorne, relying on fishing and, only lately, on the stream of tourism generated by the Great Ocean Road. Every year, during the Southern winter, these shores host many different species of migrating whales, including Southern Right Whales, Humpback Whales, Blue Whales and Killer Whales (the "Orcas"), which come here to breed, enjoying warmer waters, before heading off to feed in sub-Antarctic waters.
Past Cape Otway, we entered the coastline called "The Shipwreck Coast", where over 500 vessels are thought to be sunk, until eventually reaching the main attraction of the Great Ocean Road: the Twelve Apostles. This is actually only one of the many limestone formations in the surroundings, all contributing to the beauty, yet hellish reputation, of this shoreline. Huge waves and a salty wind relentlessly hit this littoral, but this did not prevent us from having a close look. Every beach is a beach, and we love to live each and every the way we like: beach umbrella and football.
Port Campbell is the closest city to these stunning rocky formations, and it is usually identified with them. The surroundings, though, are well worth exploring too. Especially if you bump into a bad weather day, you can definitely indulge yourself with the 12 Apostles Gourmet Trail, which we combined with some fishing at the Bullen Merri Lake. This time, we found a cheap, comfortable and green refuge at the Port Campbell Recreation Reserve Camping, located right in the middle of the town.
On the very last day of the trip, we explored the last stretch of the Great Ocean Road, visiting one of the most surprising spots we found en route, the Tower Hill Wildlife Reserve. This astounding hill of volcanic origin is completely surrounded by water, except for the narrow strip of land which lets visitors in and out, and it is home of a manifold ecosystem, ranging from kangaroos, koalas and emus to every sort of bird and plant. Of the many walks which take you exploring this piece of Eden, we chose the one taking atop the hill, where a delightful sunset left our eyes brimmed with beauty.
Our last stop was the lovely hamlet of Port Fairy. Our last dance with the Southern Ocean was staged on the idyllic Griffitts Island, were a lonely penguin and a couple of huge stingrays greeted us, before our departure towards other enchanting destinations throughout the endless, wild Australian land.

Now that sunshine has finally arrived on the Steel City's iconic horizon, you bet our Pittsburgh team is set to debut their amazing ModCloth picks both in the office and around 'tahn'. Ironically, the day of our shoot was a little rainy, but the forecast created a fine opportunity to show off the bright and chipper common areas – a perfect compliment to our vibrant summer palette! Below, get to know a few of PGH's incredible teammates, reveal some of their sweet style tidbits, and brace yourself for a little office envy. 😉
Siobhan, Supply Chain Manager
Pictured: A Conversation Masterpiece A-Line Dress in Eggshell, Chelsea Crew Fine Dining Metallic Heel in Gold, Accessorized Enlightenment Bracelet
How would you describe your personal style?
I tend to gravitate towards classic, comfortable pieces with interesting elements, such as quirky colorful prints, peplum hemlines and lace details. My favorite summer style is a maxi dress in a beautiful print; it's a great piece to make you look like you've got it all together while putting in very little effort.
What drew you to this particular outfit?
I chose this dress because I love the feminine silhouette, cheerful colors, and gorgeous floral embroidery. I prefer the fit-and-flare style over other types because it is generally more flattering on my hourglass figure. I imagined choosing this dress from our site to wear to a summer wedding or special occasion date night.
You're showing a friend around PGH. Where do you go?
I've lived in Pittsburgh for 6 years but still love the opportunity to be a tourist when friends and family visit! It's cliche, but you have to visit the Strip District when you're in town. My family usually brings a cooler when they visit so they can buy fresh meats, cheeses, seafood and produce from the generations-old specialty markets to take home with them. Pittsburgh is also a great town for craft beer enthusiasts, so visiting a brewery or two is usually on the agenda.
Favorite thing you bought recently? (Doesn't have to be clothes!)
Honest answer? A box of Chardonnay 🙂 But I recently purchased the Projected Passion A-line Skirt and love how bright and joyful it is!
Erin, Photo Studio & Production Manager
Pictured: Lovely and Ruffly Sleeveless Top in Dots, Happenin' Hang Sesh Skinny Jeans, Here to Statement Block Heel
What's one thing you never leave the house without?
Cold brew coffee.
Where else would you rock this look? Vacay, brunch…everywhere?
The playground with my kids, Saturday day dates.
Any summertime trends you're hype to try?
Ruffles & off-the shoulder styles.
Tell us about your go-to wardrobe piece that helps power you through a long day.
Easy, flowy tops!
Jessica, Exceptions Specialist
Pictured: Architectural Adventures Sleeveless Top in Floral, Rave for Basics Shorts in Petal, Can I Kickflip It? Sneaker in Rosewater
What's your fave thing about this look?
The colors! I'm all about simplicity so taking a tank and shorts to create this cute, colorful look is perfect!
Any tips for summer styling at the office?
It gets pretty hot in the Pittsburgh FC; luckily I have a vast collection of quirky tanks and cat tees to help me stay cool.
What's a must for your busy workweek? A good to-do list, lots of
coffee, downtime after work, etc?
I MUST always have something to look forward to in my downtime. Keeping busy outside of work is a necessity, especially in the summertime. Whether it be concerts, kayaking, or heading to a Pirates game I'm always up to something fun!
Any personal style secrets you'd love to spill?
I've always been a cool and casual type of girl; I believe being comfortable and confident is the most important part of any outfit. I guess that's really not a secret… I just think that we should dress to impress ourselves and not others 🙂
What a privilege it is to call these confident gals colleagues, and what a pleasure it is to be inspired by how they effortlessly personalize signature ModCloth picks!
+How do your co-workers inspire your personal style?

Please note that the information provided herein is not legal advice and is provided for informational and educational purposes only. If you need legal advice with respect to a residential lease or a tenancy agreement, you should seek professional assistance (e.g. make a post on Dynamic Legal Forms). We have Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, Brampton, Mississauga and other Ontario lawyers registered to help you.
This is the sixth of a series of blogs about residential lease agreements in Ontario. In the first blog, I talked about what residential lease agreements are, the impact of the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 (the "Act"), and some of the Landlord's obligations. In the second blog, I discussed the Tenant's statutory obligations. In the third blog, I discussed various terms in a residential lease | tenancy agreement such as void terms, term, termination, rent, security deposit, and general terms. In the fourth blog, I discussed the landlord's obligations concerning rental applications: what type of information can be collected, etc. In the fifth blog, I talked about how residential lease agreements can be terminated. In this blog, I'll be discussing additional nuances about terminating a residential lease agreement.
Under the Residential Tenancies Act, 2006 a landlord can only terminate the tenancy in accordance with that Act. Read that again. That's right. That's what section 37(1) says: "only in accordance with the Act." So what does the Act say? Well, let's go through some of the nuances in which a tenancy can end.
Security of Tenancy
First thing's first. Tenants who sign tenancy agreements (also called lease agreements) have something called "security of tenancy". This means that a tenant can continue to occupy their rental until until:
- he or she decides to leave and gives the landlord proper notice;
- the landlord and tenant agree to end the tenancy; or
- the landlord gives the tenant notice to end the tenancy under the Act and the tenant agrees to move or the landlord gets an eviction order from the Landlord and Tenant Board.
If the Landlord gives a Tenant with NOTICE that they are going to end the tenancy, then the Tenant is NOT yet under an obligation to move out. The Landlord must apply to the Landlord and Tenant Board for an eviction order. The Tenant has the right to go to the hearing and explain why they shouldn't be evicted. If the Landlord gets the eviction order, then the Tenant may be forcibly removed (assuming they haven't previously left) when the order becomes effective.
Changing the Locks
It is ILLEGAL for a Landlord to change the locks to a rental unit or the building without giving the Tenant a key. The ONLY EXCEPTIONS are where the locks are changed because the Tenant was evicted by a Sheriff or the Landlord is sure that the Tenant has abandoned the unit. If the Landlord changes the locks illegally, they could be charged under the Provincial Offences Act and, upon being found guilty, fined up to $25,000 if they are an individual or up to $100,000 if they are a corporation.
Agreement to End Tenancy
I've previously blogged about this, but it's important to repeat. A Landlord and a Tenant can agree to end their tenancy. This can be done at any time, even during the term of the lease. It's best to have a written agreement (perhaps a new legal form + video guide is on its way?). Importantly, a Landlord who requires that the Tenant sign one of these forms at the BEGINNING of their relationship (i.e. along with signing the tenancy agreement) will effectively render the Agreement to End Tenancy INVALID AND UNENFORCEABLE! There are certain exemptions for student housing and care homes, but I won't get into them here.
What if the Tenant Changes their Minds?
If the Tenant changes their minds, the Landlord has a decision to make: allow the Tenant to stay or apply to the Board for an eviction order if the Tenant stays unwanted. Importantly, if the Landlord seeks an eviction order from the Board, there won't be any notice given to the Tenant that it's coming: the Tenant will simply receive the eviction order from the Board. If he or she believes that the eviction order should not have been given, then they can apply to the Board to stop the eviction. It's a kind of different procedure here because it's after the fact (i.e. after the order has been given).
Applications to the Board
A Landlord can apply to the Board for approval to end a tenancy if:
- the Landlord gave the Tenant notice to end the tenancy;
- the Landlord and Tenant have an Agreement to end the tenancy;
- the Landlord wants to evict an unauthorized occupant;
- the Tenant gave the Landlord a notice to end the tenancy;
- the Tenant breached a condition of the Board;
- the Tenant abandoned the rental unit; or
- the Tenant was the superintendent and the superintendent's employment has finished.
There's a deadline for a Landlord to apply to the Board: typically 30 days of the termination date set out in teh notice. However, there is no deadline for making an application to terminate a tenancy where the landlord has given the Tenant a Notice to End a Tenancy early for non-payment of rent.
The Board will usually schedule a hearing to hear the Landlord's application. The Board will not usually schedule a hearing, however, if the application was made because the tenant:
- gave the landlord a notice to end the tenancy, or
- made an agreement with the landlord to end the tenancy, or
- breached a condition of a Board order.
If a hearing is going to be held, it may be one of three types:
- an oral hearing, where the landlord and tenant appear in person before a Member (this is the most common type of hearing),
- a video conference hearing, where the hearing takes place using a video camera link between the Member, the landlord and the tenant, or
- a telephone hearing, where the hearing takes place using a telephone link between the Member, the landlord and the tenant.
The Board will decide which type of hearing you will have.
The Landlord must inform the Tenant of the hearing by giving a copy of the Notice of Hearing AND a copy of their application to the Tenant. There will be a deadline to provide these documents.
The Hearing
At the hearing, the Landlord will have to prove that the tenant should be evicted. The Tenant can attend and explain why they shouldn't. The Board will render a decision based on all the circumstances of the case. The Board then makes an order in writing which will be sent by mail to both the Landlord and the Tenant.
Enforcing an Eviction Order
If the Board orders an eviction, then the Tenant doesn't need to leave immediately. Rather, they can stay until a Sheriff (a court enforcement officer) evicts them. The Landlord must file a copy of the Board order with the Sheriff's office and pay a fee to have the order enforced. The Sheriff will then provide notice to the Tenant to have their things packed and gone by a certain date or else they will be forcibly removed.
By the way, if you are a Landlord and you are looking for an Ontario Residential Lease Agreement, you've come to the right place:

Zone Violations
Here are some ways you can help the Coast Guard do their job: Run safety drills. Keep your equipment maintained and your charts up to date. If you have small watercraft like canoes, kayaks or surfboards, write your name and phone number on them. A kayak blown off a dock and adrift offshore will prompt a call from a concerned mariner, and the US Coast Guard is required to treat every piece of flotsam and jetsam as if it were a life or death situation. Three times last month alone, USCG District 14 in Hawaii scrambled fast response craft and helicopter crews over unmanned kayaks and a surfboard, whose owners might have been sipping a cool drink shoreside while the Coasties in Hawaii were burning fuel and their budget looking for them.
Other things one can do to ease the burden on the local sector—and the taxpayer—include not dangling from bridges to interfere with marine traffic and, as a group of protesters has discovered, don't breach security zones.
In July (between July 22 and July 30) the Coast Guard 13th District commander, working in conjunction with the Coast Guard Sector Columbia River captain of the port, established a temporary safety zone, and a separate "Voluntary First Amendment Area," associated with the arrival of the drilling support vessel Fennica to Portland, Oregon.
The safety zone was necessary to keep the Columbia and Willamette River waterways safe for commercial and pleasure craft while still allowing those who feel strongly about the issue of arctic oil extraction to exercise their right to free speech. "Everyone's safety is our top priority." according to Captain David Berliner, deputy commander, Coast Guard Sector Columbia River.
The safety zone extended 500-yards in front of the vessel and 100 yards to the port, starboard and astern of the Fennica while the vessel was transiting, and a 100-yard safety zone was established around the vessel while moored, at anchor or in dry dock.
The Coast Guard warned that any disruption to safe navigation would be subject to civil penalties and/or criminal prosecution.
On July 30th, officers from Coast Guard Sector Columbia River arrested 13 protesters who violated the safety zone by dangling from ropes under the St. Johns Bridge Bridge in an attempt to prevent the Fennica from passing under it.
Elizabeth Mount, Benjamin Reynoso, Michael Luurtsema, Katharine Loncke, Mark Floegel, Caroline Hansley and Sharon Spencer were issued and will receive notices of violation for interfering with the safe operation of a vessel on July 30, in violation of the US Code.
The recommended penalty for each citation was $500, but the Coast Guard can seek a maximum civil penalty of $40,000 for each entry into the zone or day the individuals violated the zone. It has been suggested that Greenpeace pay the fines of these protesters, and match the amount in donations to the US Coast Guard Foundation, which provides immediate support and comfort to those families affected by the loss of a Coast Guard loved one in the line of duty.
"While the Coast Guard supports peaceful protest activity on domestic waters, the actions of these individuals violated federal law," said Capt. Daniel Travers, captain of the port and commander, Coast Guard Sector Columbia River. "We are holding these individuals accountable because interfering with the safe operation of a vessel creates an extremely dangerous situation and puts all waterway users at risk"
It's bad enough to have to spend budgets and risk lives to chase a kayak that has been blown off a dock- it's a whole other thing to have to risk Coast Guard assets to pursue "kayaktivists" who endanger the lives first responders simply for the attention. We hope the Coast Guard will impose the harshest penalties possible, and we hope Greenpeace will follow through on the suggestion and match the penalty for the Coast Guard fund, given the dangerous situations Greenpeace imposes on the men and women of the US Coast Guard.

11 Mar How Should I Buy a Car as a Business Owner?
Recently, we were asked the following questions by a small business owner: "What is the best approach to buying a car? Should I use my personal money or the business account? What are the tax implications?" So, we thought it would be helpful to provide some answers should you have the same questions today or in the future.
Purchase with personal or business funds?
The best way for a business owner to purchase a vehicle depends on the percentage of business-use miles versus personal miles driven each year. If the vehicle is used more than 50 percent of the time for business purposes, it's best to use business funds to purchase the vehicle. Using the car more than 50 percent of the time for business use allows business owners the option of accelerated depreciation, which can mean larger tax deductions.
Two Options for Deducting Expenses
There are two options that can be used to deduct automobile expenses. The first is Actual Cost. In this method, automobile costs—such as the cost of the vehicle, repairs and maintenance, fuel, insurance, and personal property taxes—are deductible based on the percentage of business miles driven. For instance, if a business owner drives a vehicle 10,000 miles during the year and 5,000 of those miles are for business purposes, the business use percentage is 50 percent, and 50 percent of these Actual Costs are deductible for tax purposes.
The second option is the Standard Mileage Rate, which is also based on business miles driven. The IRS provides the standard mileage rate each year. For 2018 the standard mileage rate was 54.5 cents per mile, but will increase to 58.0 cents in 2019. Using the example of 5,000 business-use miles, the Standard Mileage Rate deduction would be 5,000 X .545, or $2,725. An advantage of this method is that it requires less record keeping than the Actual Cost method.
Which option to choose?
Several factors affect which method best fits each business need. The smartest way to determine which method to use is to calculate the differences between the two. In general, it's best for business owners to take the Standard Mileage Rate if they drive a lot of miles each year, but this may not be true for those who own older vehicles that require more maintenance. Also, business owners who purchase new vehicles every year or two should consider using Actual Cost, because the deductible depreciation of these vehicles—along with regular maintenance and other costs—may be greater than the Standard Mileage Rate.
Mileage Tracking Tip: There are many apps to help track mileage. These include Quickbooks Self-Employed, TripLog, Hurdlr and MileIQ.
Important Points to Consider
Those who use the Standard Mileage Rate must select this option the first year the vehicle is used for business purposes, but they can switch to Actual Cost after the first year. Because of the increased deduction they'll realize because of depreciation, those who choose the Actual Cost option the first year the vehicle is used for business purposes must use this method for the life of that particular vehicle.
What about Vehicles over 6,000 pounds?
The IRS has a different set of rules for vehicles like vans, trucks and some large SUVs that weigh over 6,000 pounds. For instance, these vehicles are eligible for bonus (or larger) depreciation deductions, meaning that Actual Cost may be the best route. However, because there are many considerations, business owners who purchase vehicles over 6,000 pounds—particularly those who purchase fleets—should visit with an accountant to weigh the pros and cons of Actual Cost versus the Standard Mileage Rate.
We hope that these clarifications will be useful the next time you're looking to buy a car!
Big thank you to Two Roads Team Member and CPA, Erica Harrod, for providing her expertise and research for this post.

The Secretary to the Lagos State Government (SSG), Mr. Tunji Bello was unhappy with Governor Akinwunmi Ambode of the state over matters bothering on duties of his office.
But there are indications that the National Leader of the All Progressives Congress (APC), Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu had intervened, and prevailed upon him to drop the idea of resigning ,which he had made up his mind on.
A very unhappy Bello had stormed the Bourdillon, Ikoyi, Lagos residence of Asiwaju Bola Ahmed Tinubu to inform him that he could no longer tolerate Ambode over what he termed 'recklessness and abuse of office,' and reportedly added that enough was enough.
A source stated that Bello specifically told Tinubu that Ambode gave out a juicy assignment meant for his office to some commissioners to handle and that this was just one of the Governor's numerous disregard for his office, which was why he decided to resign his appointment with a letter through Asiwaju Tinubu.
"This appeared like an insult to Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, who told Bello pointedly that there was no way the resignation letter could be accepted and that he was the one that employed him and not Ambode.
"He then put a call through to Ambode and told him to meet him at home immediately," said a source.
We gathered that as soon as Ambode arrived Bourdillon, Tinubu told him to see Bello as his elder brother and one of those that sponsored his election.
According to our source, Tinubu ordered Ambode to give the said job back to Bello and warned him never to disregard his office or treat him anyhow since, according to Tinubu, Bello is one of his favourites, and that he should see him as an co-labourer that must be carried along in the scheme of things.
"Since then, Ambode has been treating Tunji Bello with respect and Tunji has been performing his duties as the SSG contrary to his decision to lie low before coming up with a resignation letter," said a source close to the two parties

Constructive revision is the supervision move after conclusion of a building project. It determines the market value and checks the investment costs as well as the economy.
In case of doubt, if a finished building project keeps its value or if it corresponds to the approved technical rules, it is necessary to have a following constructive revision. This states if the investment has fulfilled its aim.
Within the constructive supervision a constructive control is done in the field refinishing of the interiour, the floor coverings, wall coverings, windows, doors and installations in the aim to verify if the carried out standard corresponds to the agreed standard and if the accepted technical rules have been followed. Furthermore another verification follows, using the technical documents, if the footing, building's sealing and the performance of the ceilings' and roof's construction correspond to the approved technical standard.
An evaluation of the building project is done to assess if the investment keeps its value altogether. Because of the found technical equipment features it can be checked if the building price is adequate.
At a specific inspection can be seen if the building project shows any signs of construction defects.
Constructive revision shall not only be done in case of definite suspect of unsuccessful building projects and investments, but it is as well a methodology to rise the quality level while building, by an external investigation. So constructive supervision also serves an optimization process.
Constructive revision should always take place at the inspection and approval as well as at the taking possession of a building project.
Constructive revision can as well mean the concluding test report about the success of a building project or an investment, which can be shown at the performance committees. Thus it serves the quality improvement, supervision and the reporting.

As promised, I went out to snap a few photos today. In the morning I went to central market in my hometown of Lancaster, PA. I love visiting the market because it's a cogent reminder of the combination of vibrant diversity and hominess that make Lancaster such a wonderful community.
After milling around among the vendors I ventured up to the balcony area where I was able to capture a few shots of the market from a higher vantage point. For people watching looking down on a farmers market from a birds eye view is second to none.
After enjoying a hot tea and a massive freshly baked cinnamon bun, I decided to see how my camera and lens could tackle some outdoor architecture shots. The best part was a surprise performance from a one-man-band. He was enormously talented and definitely earned all the tips he received from me and my fellow audience members. I was definitely pleased with the shots I got, especially because today was my first time using this new camera and lens.
Thanks for checking out my first photo blogpost! Please leave a comment if you have any feedback or advice!

Late, that evening Mohit, who is a senior level boss in the company Ranjit works for rang up to say that we and three others could stay at another boss's casa in Mantagua. I was so happy and Ranjit was relieved. Casa meant an independent house on the ground so no stairs for me to climb up or run down!. As we drove into the residential area I couldn't suppress the "wow" that slipped out. This was definitely one of the better places, and a more expensive one to reside in. The house we had to go to wasn't completed in terms of interior decoration, facade, front garden and back lawn and garden. There was rubble, wood and weeds, over-grown grass and bramble all around it. But the main structure was very nice and all the rooms which included living-room, dining room and bedrooms had the basic furniture, curtains, beds, pillows and comforters. The bathrooms were good with an ample store of towels however there was no hot water and the kitchen was fully equipped.
The tremors were mild here, and I spent a relatively calm time for as long as we stayed. Initially I fretted about no internet and TV. What was I supposed to do the whole day while everyone was at work? Relief hopped in to give me English novels from Mohit's library and a gadget called a dongle, which connected me to the net, from Karmeshu one of the senior bosses from India, who was also staying with us. I was getting reasons to be grateful at every step which reminded me that someone up there was looking out for me.
But the most striking thing about the place was the location. These houses were built on hilly ground so the roads ran up and down slopes. Each house had well kept gardens in front of the house and behind. The gardens were ablaze with bright hues. The flowers here have amazingly bright colours. And the Pacific lay behind our row of houses. It was beautiful as the sea was near enough to get a clear view of seals swimming, yachts sailing or ships entering the port. The huge window that spread against one whole wall of the dining cum living room offered the most scenic view I've seen here till now. I used to sit and soak in the cool breeze as I gazed over treetops at the ever changing sand dunes that rolled down to the blue ocean. My spirit was forever hovering between the brilliant sun and aquamarine water. The breeze is always so cool even when the clear sunshine is blazing on terra firma.
Well true to nature relief isn't a long staying pal. We moved in on Sunday night and moved out next Sunday morning. Not that we had to, in fact the boss's family, who lived one casa away was surprised that we were moving out. But it was becoming inconvenient for Ranjit and Manu to commute to the office. Mantagua is about twenty-five kms away from Vina, so that added to the distance. Their work place is not in Vina Del Mar. To make the daily run Tintin had to hire a car for the entire week. This was proving to be very expensive. So we were back in the apartment and I had the jitters. Monday morning the tremors decided to get back in full force. Strong ones kept the count rolling to sixteen in the day. Tintin would keep calling every time one came and would find me rattled.
Finally he found a room on the ground floor at a hotel barely five minutes from the apartment. He drove down from office and shifted me there.
I slept. I slept the afternoon away.
I stayed here in the night too, alone, but it wasn't scary. The tremors were not so frightening here as they didn't shake up the room so badly. Still it was quite late when I finally went to sleep. What matters is that I slept well. However, the next morning saw me packing my stuff and moving to the company guesthouse. I didn't want to leave but I had no choice. Although the room was neat and clean and had a nice attached bathroom, it was a one-star facility with a three-star tariff.
I think, I write. I see, I write. I remember, I write. I read something, I hear something, I write. I am happy, sad, angry, indifferent, I write...like the babbling brook I flow on and on...like the leaden cloud I pour out my thoughts.

Xbox One: Why the Hate?
In time we hate that which we often fear
William Shakespeare
Yup. It's getting a bit out of hand. The Xbox One and Microsoft bashing is hitting an all-time high. Gifs like the one below (definitely influenced by the recent news of the MS exclusive Titanfall rumored to also be running at 720p) are becoming the norm, paralleling the news these days.
Now objectively, people have to understand that MS is currently going through a maelstrom of bad PR. Recent statements by Albert Penello, Aaron Greenburg, Mark Rubin, famousmortimer, and many others have not helped to quell the Xbox One bashing in full force. A lot of Xbox One hate is stemming from:
- Excruciatingly bad PR moves and contradictory statements from MS, devs, etc.
- Corroborating and confirmations of statements by famousmortimer, cboat, and others.
- The apparent reason that the Xbox One's ESRAM is causing a bottleneck for developers, directly influencing the resolution output possible for Xbox One titles (720p vs. 1080p debacle)
- The Xbox One OS issues, like the Snap feature and other OS functional issues.
- Microsoft failing to give definitive answers to a lot of questions from Xbox and PS fans about the capabilities of the system, addressing the issues of game development, and OS issues in a clear and concise manner, even if it's something like what the PS4 blog has offered.
All these in itself are important news topics, so people shouldn't be surprised that this information is making headlines. It's a hot topic. People want to read about it, and therefore, sites like ours and others will report on it. Comparatively, the PS4 PR mishaps and functional issues have been few and far in between. But they are there.
Reports of external drives not being supported for storage on the PS4 seem to have gone under the radar, whereas it should have been a bigger news item. Bluray/DVD playback, certain headsets not working, possible issues with overheating (currently shot down by PS4 game devs), the lack of a suspend/resume feature, lack of CD-rom and MP3 support not being available at launch, or at least not available without requiring a day 1 patch are concerns, no doubt.
But yet, we're stuck with the 720p/1080p arguments, which from a distance seen by the average consumer might seem to be a minor issue, is now being elevated to unreal proportions by the PlayStation crowd, and even some from within the Xbox One camp.
Sure, the Xbox One is a slightly less powerful system, it costs slightly more than a PS4 (only $40 more, considering if you want to correctly compare the two, you should add on the PS4 camera to the PS4 package), but as we get deeper into the dev cycles of the system, there will no doubt be more graphical and audio fidelity improvements made to the Xbox One as developers start to understand how the console works, and they figure out technical tricks and shortcuts to get the most out of the system.
As always, the tables can turn later on in a console's life, as we've seen happen with the PS3 with the Xbox, so you never know. So why the clamor? We all win as gamers, seeing as our favorite consoles will be coming out soon, and after the (hopefully) smooth console launches, gamers won't give two craps about which version has the better resolution, runs faster, or has better graphics…
Eh…who am I kidding.
We'll still be fighting over that aspect; the never-ending tug-of-war for console supremacy fueled by over-zealous fanboys on both sides. As long as there are camps to set your flag in, we're always going to hear these arguments.
Well, just do what I do. Cover your ears, enjoy the systems for what they are and what they offer, and make a decision for yourself. And to get this out of the way, personally, I'm going for the PS4 first, since I haven't heard it having as many issues as its green-tinged counterpart. But I do promise you this: after MS addresses the initial alleged issues with the system (and when the cost comes down just a bit), I most assuredly will  be buying an Xbox One, and will be enjoying the bejesus out of Forza 5, Killer Instinct, Halo 5, Ryse, Titanfall, and many other choice games announced, and unannounced, alike.
Because I still think that the Xbox One will have so much to offer us. And the potential that it has, whether related to gaming, apps, services, or features and functions, might just wow us during the next few years.

This Just May Be The Best Shower Cleaner Out There
Kymba has a crack at Koh
Kymba Has A Crack is back and this time, she's taken on a new shower cleaning product.
Kymba writes:
My shower is gross. I'd love to say I clean it weekly, but I don't. And I never squeegee the water off after each shower.
I was desperate to find something to get it off - so I tried that product that keeps coming up in my Facebook feed... Koh (ekoWorx).
Here's Kymba's crack
There's a few reasons why it spoke to me:
- Asthma friendly
- Eco friendly
- Allergy friendly
- Potassium hydroxide - water - mineral formulation
- 100% Aussie owned
I bought the kit - 4L product, 3 diamond sponges and 4 microfibre cloths + spray, and while I wasn't looking forward to it, and I had low expectations, I got to work.
The diamond sponges definitely take some of the work out, but I did try the cloths too. I was actually really surprised how easy it was to clean. Really!
Honestly, my shower looks amazing!
This kit was 50% off (and often is), so the kit cost me $55, and I hardly used any solution.
I also did the oven too (you can also do the BBQ, pots and pans)... it's SO GOOD!
4.5 cracks!!!

The Bare Necessities
Keeping it simple keeps it delicious
By Tony Cross
Until recently, among the books in my possession that I'd barely started or hadn't opened at all was Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential. I adored the man, yet had not read his epic first book. One of the chapters, "How to Cook Like the Pros," has Bourdain giving tips to those at home who want to cook well enough to amaze their next dinner party guests. He starts with tools: a chef's knife, other knives, plastic squeeze bottles, pots and pans, etc. He then moves on to ingredients: butter, stock, shallots and more. So, in this column, I'm going to blatantly rip off Anthony. (It's OK, we share the same first name.)
As a mixologist, people always ask me questions like, "What's your favorite drink to make? Do you really like egg whites in cocktails? What's a good recipe?" (I get that one a lot.) Or, "How do you make your old-fashioneds?" and "Do you really like mezcal?" I usually respond to the last one with "no" and a grin on my face. One time, a married woman (claiming to be newly separated) actually messaged me on social media late on a Saturday night to find out what my favorite rye is. It's Rittenhouse, but that's not all she asked.
The point is, you only need a few tools and a few ingredients to make a ton of delicious cocktails. So, in no particular order, let's go.
Angostura Bitters
There are a ton of bitters on the market. They're everywhere. By all means, experiment and check them out. But Angostura is the essential bitters that should always be stocked in your place. Plain and simple. Plus, it's available everywhere, and it cures hiccups (doused on a lemon wedge). Just saying.
A Good Juicer
A durable, inexpensive, hand-held juicer is all you need when making drinks at home. The Chef'n FreshForce model sells for about $20, and it's durable as hell. Even if you're hosting a 12-person cocktail party, this hand-held juicer is really convenient. Once you get the hang of it, you can juice 10 ounces in no time. Oh, and measure the stuff while you're at it.
Use a jigger with a few different measurements on it. I prefer the Japanese style, but choose whatever is easiest for you. Cocktail Kingdom offers a lot of fancy plated ones; to each their own. The original stainless steel ones have lasted me for years. (If you're not measuring, stop reading right here.)
If you've always got a half to full cup of simple syrup in your fridge that hasn't gone bad, good for you. The rest of us probably have that "Oh, no" moment when realizing that we've got everything for the drink ready except for said syrup. Syrup or no syrup, it helps to have a small amount of demerara or cane sugar in the cabinet. It makes all the difference in the classics. Don't believe me? Make a rich demerara syrup for your next daiquiri and tell me that the sugar doesn't bring out the flavors in the top of the line rum you used. The color may not be Instagram-worthy, but who cares when you've made one of the best drinks in the world.
I can't believe the number of bars and restaurants that still have vermouth on their shelves. It's rancid. Refrigerate it, or you're only wasting your own hard-earned dollars and taste buds. Get a white and a red. You don't need four of each, unless you're using them before they spoil. Dolin Dry is great for martinis, and Carpano Antica is ideal for Manhattans.
I see a lot of articles online that read something like this: "The 8 Gins You Should Have at Home!" Really? Eight? No thanks, two or three is fine. I like Plymouth best for martinis, and Beefeater's for gin and tonics. For whiskies, I love rye, so I usually have Old Overholt, Rittenhouse and/or Wild Turkey Rye, and whatever decent bourbon I can get my hands on from the ABC store. And of course, a good bottle of Scotch.
And for the rest:
agave: If you are really just into margaritas, get a blanco; I particularly enjoy Herradura. If sipping is your thing, grab a nice anejo. A bottle of Del Maguey anything wouldn't hurt.
rum: Choose one white rum and one funky. For me, it's Cana Brava and Smith & Cross. Actually, I'm lying. I have more. But the former is a good start.
vodka: This is easily the most debated. For me, it's always a vehicle to a destination. Just don't let that ride be a Ford Pinto.
brandy: Remy Martin. Damn good cognac. SP

Mega Tento was a robot built by Lisa Winter of Robot Action League for the second season of ABC's BattleBots reboot. It was pretty much a bigger version of lightweight entrant Tentoumushi with the only difference being a hidden spinning drum, a modified crab sandbox and the angry ladybug eyes made from spoon rests. It performed poorly in the competition; winning only one battle against Stinger in a very controversial upset, but lost to Poison Arrow and a destructive KO against Yeti, reaching the Round of 16, like previous heavyweight Plan X.
Mega Tento wouldn't return for either of the Discovery seasons, but Lisa Winter was a judge for Season 4.
Robot History
ABC Season 2
Mega Tento's first ever match in BattleBots was against Poison Arrow. In the match, things started promising for Mega Tento as it managed to smother Poison Arrow and drag it around to the screws. Both robots were still for several seconds near the screws before getting going again.
Poison Arrow attacked Mega Tento, doing damage to the shell and eventually causing it break free from the mount, preventing Mega Tento from using it any further.
Mega Tento kept getting hit by Poison Arrow's spinning drum and time ran out soon after. Poison Arrow won on a judge's decision and Mega Tento lost. However, Mega Tento was awarded one of the eight wild cards most likely due to its iconic design from its lightweight counterpart in the original show. This wild card put Mega Tento into the round of 32 as the No.28 seed, where it will face the No.5 seed Stinger.
Before the match began, Lisa moved Mega Tento's spinning drum from inside the shell to the rear of the bot. Also, Stinger added a minibot called Flicker to join it as well as going back to having six wheels after fighting Nightmare in the round of 48. The match started out poorly for Mega Tento as it was being pushed around the BattleBox by Stinger and it lost an eye after getting hit by the pulverizer. Mega Tento continued to attack with the drum and Stinger tried to flip Mega Tento over but was unsuccessful. Stinger pushed Mega Tento into the wall, bending the sandbox shell. Mega Tento eventually escaped and it managed to smother Stinger, but Stinger started burning its shell with its flamethrower. Mega Tento backs away from Stinger and started destroying Flicker's wheels with its spinning drum, but it was still bursting flames onto the shell and the spinning drum. After this, Mega Tento tore off one of Stinger's wheels. Mega Tento got its spinning drum underneath the left side of Stinger and flipped it onto its back. Stinger hit a seam in the BattleBox floor then tried Mega Tento again but to no avail once more. Mega Tento managed to send Stinger flying but neither robot was able to do much before time ran out. Mega Tento won on a close controversial 2-1 judge's decision, with the crowd furious. It advanced to the round of 16, where it faced the No.12 seed Yeti.
To show its injury from Stinger, Mega Tento added an eye patch over its left eye. The match started out relatively well for Mega Tento as neither robot seemed to gain the advantage. However, Yeti started to attack and eventually severely damaged Mega Tento's right wheel. Mega Tento was then pushed on top of the screws and became unable to move. Mega Tento was counted and Yeti finished off the destroyed wheel. Yeti won by a quick KO at 44 seconds and Mega Tento was eliminated from the tournament.
There have been rumors that Mega Tento was going to fight in a three-way rumble against Nightmare and Creepy Crawlies, but the rumble was cancelled because of the other teams ahead of them in line.
- Wins: 1
- Losses: 2

"It's a thrilla! This insect-zilla is a straight-up killa! It's MEGA TENTO!"

It was all I could do to not stop and take a picture of the 3 summits we crossed over today between Prince George and Stewart, BC.
But there was a certain very large fly fishing pole in Houston BC that begged for a picture. . .
Hyder is 74 and sunny; saw 9 bears on the way in, and none were more than 30 feet away.
If you didn't go to the Alamo Express you missed out on a great event. The pic is pat and becky rather than paticia.

If you ever used a paint sprayer before you will know that removing paint from your skin isn't easy. You can try to wash it up and it still may be there. Not allowing the paint to be on your skin for a long time is really important.
As you may know, paint has a lot of chemicals that can hurt, burn or damage your skin in any other way. It can cause an allergic reaction to a lot of people, especially for kids. Paint is super dangerous for kids. Keep the kids away from your paint sprayer and from the paint. This can happen with paint rollers too. Although I totally recommend you to use paint sprayers.
Learn here: how to paint spray in cold weather?
Once you get a little more experience you will get more precise with your paint sprayer and you will reduce this problem. But until that time comes you still have to remove the paint from the skin every time you want to paint something.
Also, your paint sprayers play a big role in your accuracy. Low-quality paint sprayers are not that accurate when spraying. Having a high-quality paint sprayer will help you reduce this problem a lot because all the paint will go directly to the surface you are painting.
If you are looking for a high-quality paint sprayer for beginners then I recommend you to check our homepage or our review section where we have listed them.
Down below we will write a short but effective guide on how to remove paint from your skin and how to get better at using paint sprayers?
How to remove paint from your skin?
The first thing you should do is obvious. You should have safety gears. Not only for paint spraying but when you are using any tool you should have safety gears. Such as goggles, gloves, and coveralls. In my opinion, goggles are the most important gear to have.
They will protect your eyes from paint and other things that can harm your eyes. Having paint on your skin is another thing but having paint on your eyes is really bad. You don't want that so that's why every time you decide to work with a paint sprayer or any other tool that can harm you, you should wear at least goggles.
You should also wear gloves. Using gloves while you're working with paint sprayers may reduce this problem to 50%. But there's still a chance that the paint may end up in your face, legs or somewhere else. That's you should wear coveralls. Coveralls are extremely helpful, they will prevent the paint from touching your skin.
If you have coveralls that are made for paint sprayers then you can work with paint sprayers without having to worry about paint on your skin.
But no everyone has safety gears, and not everyone wants to spend money on safety gears. Of course, there are a lot of paint removers on the market. But they can have toxic chemicals and can harm your skin.
They harm my skin so I never use them, but my work colleagues use them without a problem. It all depends if your skin is sensitive or not. If your skin is, then try to follow my natural way of removing paint from skin.
I have been using this for a few years and it always worked. It should work for you too. You don't have to go outside and buy any product for this method, we will be using all the products that you can find around your house.
The things/products you will need for this method
- Plastic Bow
- Hot Water
- Soap
- Toothbrush(try finding an old one)
- Tissue Paper
- Towel
Note: The water should not be boiling hot, cool it a little before using it.
After you find all these things, this is what you should do next …
- Test the water – Try testing the water on your skin. If it's too hot your then try to cool it down below using it. But don't use completely cold water.
- Use the soap into the painted areas – Take the soap and try to rub into the painted area. If the paint on your skin is still wet then rub it a little before going to the next step. If it's dry then try to rub it a little harder before going to step three. In both cases rub it until the paint starts loosening.
- Wet the toothbrush with warm water
- Use the toothbrush in the painted areas – The soap should do its job by loosening the paint a little, now take the toothbrush and brush the painted areas. In most cases, the paint should be easily removed. Don't try to rush things by trying to remove all the paint with one take.
- Use the Tissue paper to dry your skin
It's not recommended to try and get rid of all the paint with one take. I do this process at least 3 or 6 times. You can do it more or less it all depends on your skin type and how much paint you have on your skin.
Once you are done you can dry your skin with a towel. And this is it guys, a natural way to get rid of paint on your skin. You still can try other products and lotions that are specially made to remove paint from your skin.
But if you want a method with only natural products then I recommend you to use ours. We hope this method works for you and helps you to get rid of the paint on your skin.

The Starlite Campbell Band play Backstage at the Green Hotel Kinross 2020 on Thursday 23rd January at 8.00pm for EMS / Mundell Music.com
Buy Starlite Campbell Band Tickets HERE.
European blues awards nominees the Starlite Campbell Band is husband and wife Suzy Starlite and Simon Campbell working as a four piece with some of the world's finest musicians.
The band is steeped in British blues – think early Led Zeppelin, The Faces and Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac. With contemporary original songs inspired by real life and real people, they have a sound and vibe reminiscent of the mid 60's to early 70's – the halcyon days of music.
Starlite and Campbell, who married after a whirlwind musical romance, released their debut album 'Blueberry Pie'to rave reviews worldwide and a prestigious nomination for Best Album in the European Blues Awards.
"Unquestionably Blueberry Pie is a stunning debut" | 5* – Morgan Hogarth, Rock n Reel Magazine
With extensive international radioplay charting top 10 in the UK, Australia, The Netherlands and American Blues Charts and over 50 four and five star reviews worldwide, the Starlite Campbell Band leave an indelible impression on audiences of all ages and musical backgrounds.
From Suzy's addictive, fun-loving bass groove and thunderous tone to Simon's explosive vocals and fretwork, the band is joined by keyboard maestro Jonny Henderson on Hammond/Wurlitzer (Robben Ford / Matt Schofield) and shuffle-master Steve Gibson on drums (Chris Farlowe / Larry Garner).
"Just as the Rolling Stones are making huge waves with their 30th studio release, Blue & Lonesome, along come a couple of seasoned musicians who bring back the sound of early UK blues, to near perfection." | JD Nash – American Blues Scene, USA
The art of the song is everything and Starlite and Campbell fly in the face of disposable music – writing, recording and producing their work and then releasing on their independent label Supertone Records.
"Blueberry Pie is a great album" | Cerys Matthews, BBC Radio 2 & 6 Music
The band recently headlined the Saturday night at Wangaratta festival of jazz & blues in Australia where they were joined by guest keyboard player Clayton Doley and quickly followed by a successful two week tour in the UK to great reviews.
"This was the real deal, scintillating stuff… Simon Campbell and Suzy Starlite are mad for the music, and mad for each other – and their enthusiasm is infectious.
And then – and then, folks – they close out with 'Walkin' Out The Door', the opening track from Blueberry Pie. And this slice of mid-Sixties style soulful blues, with some wah-wah atmospherics, gradually morphs into Led Feckin' Zeppelin, the riff tipping the hat to the likes of 'How Many More Times' while Starlite channels John Paul Jones with an increasingly mountainous bass line. And Campbell goes into mad axeman mode, conjuring up a howling guitar interlude with the aid of an old-fashioned echoplex box of tricks – real analogue tape, boys and girls – ahead of an echo-laden solo. Greta Van Fleet eat your juvenile hearts out." | Iain Cameron – Blues Enthused, UK

The work of Jacques Lacan is associated more with literature and philosophy than mainstream American psychology, due in large part to the dense language he often employs in articulating his theory - often at the expense of clinical illustration. As a result, his contributions are frequently fascinating, but their utility in the therapeutic setting can be difficult to pinpoint. Lacanian Psychotherapy aims to fill in this clinical gap by presenting theoretical discussions in clear, accessible language and applying them to several chapter-length case studies, thereby demonstrating their clinical relevance. The central concern of this book is the application of Lacan's notion that the unconscious is structured like, and by, language. This implies a peculiar manner of listening ("to the letter") and intervention, which Miller applies to a number of common clinical concerns - including case formulation, dreams, transference, and diagnosis - in the context of psychotherapy.
Michael J. Miller, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at SUNY Upstate Medical University and an adjunct professor at Syracuse University. He has been published inThe Humanistic Psychologist as well as Lacan and Addictions (Karnac, 2011), and has presented to groups of psychoanalytic clinicians on clinical applications of Lacan.

Is The Drone Strike a Black Swan?
Courtesy of Lee Adler
Pundits are calling yesterday's drone strke a "black swan." Can a drone strike on a Saudi oil facility, be a "black swan."
According to Investopedia:
A black swan is an unpredictable event that is beyond what is normally expected of a situation and has potentially severe consequences. Black swan events are characterized by their extreme rarity, their severe impact, and the practice of explaining widespread failure to predict them as simple folly in hindsight.
I seriously doubt that no one expected or could have predicted a drone strike on a Saudi oil facility.
Call Me A Black Swan Skeptic
Or maybe I'm just one of those "nothing surprises me" skeptics. For example, the creeping Trump dictatorship, about which most people are still in denial, hasn't surprised me for one second. Nor would it surprise me if he and his sycophants are overwhelmingly defeated in the next election.
It would also not surprise me if there is no election, or if it is rigged for him to win. A military coup would not surprise me. A White House coup would not surprise me.
The end of constitutional government would not surprise me. I'd be more surprised if a functioning constitutional government of laws re-emerged. I'd like to think it can happen. I just think that the trend isn't exactly promising.
With Black Swans Everywhere, Wall Street Says, "Close Your Eyes!"
And I surely don't think that the collapse of the housing bubble and the ensuing financial crisis were black swans. Millions of people recognized the housing bubble. And many, many observers recognized it, foresaw what would happen, and even ran websites chronicling the housing bubble and warning of its demise.
I should know. I was one of them. But that was nothing special. There were hundreds of us, all with thousands, or tens of thousands of regular visitors and commenters. Millions of people were paying attention and talking about the bubble risk in 2004-2005-2006. They just weren't Wall Street bankers or economists, who were too busy trying to shove your head up your ass so that you didn't see all those black swans swimming with the sharks.
Everything is foreseeable, predictable, and actionable, as long as you don't have your head stuck up your ass.
Was the Drone Strike a Black Swan?
A drone strike on a Saudi oil facility hardly seems surprising. The idea that drones can attack an oil facility is not a black swan.
We are in a fluid situation. Rapidly advancing technology and the spreading twin cancers of nationalism and widening wealth disparity mean that, "Anything can happen," And probably will.
Bad things.
Black Swans Don't Turn Markets
And besides, black swans don't turn markets anyway. There are always years or decades long, recognizable bubble and topping processes that precede the so called "black swan." The problem is that when extreme situations last a very long time, they begin to seem normal. We have long been an environment of normalizing depravity. Drone strikes and Donald Trump are just the natural progression of those extreme processes. They become normalized because we become numb. We are no longer shocked by them.
Only when we look back on them in the historical concept do most people recognize how shocking they were. Those who warn about these trends contemporaneously are ignored, or dismissed and ridiculed.
So, in reality, there are no black swans, if you are paying attention. Plenty of people have already thought about, foreseen, written about, warned about and acted upon everything that can happen.
However, there are plenty of economists, Wall Street analcysts, and assorted self-excusing establishment shills who want you to think that there are black swans. Central bankers and former central bankers come to mind. CNBC talking heads and Wall Street "Journalists" come to mind.
Most of them are in the business of selling their positions to you.
Meanwhile, I'll keep looking for possible black swans, and calling your attention to them, just as I have for the past 20 years, right here at the Wall Street Examiner, and Lee Adler's Liquidity Trader.

Power Washing
Tameside Power / Jet washing
Tameside Handyman Services
One Driveway & Decking at a time
Tameside Power Washing
with power all things become clean
Power washing – also known as Jet washing and Pressure washing.
Call it what you want… I do it.
All the photos are my work and are just a tiny selection of the jobs I have undertaken for customers.
Driveways, Patios, Decking, Garden Paths, Walls, Car Parks, Forecourts, Shop Fronts, Play Areas, Eating Areas, Waste and Refuse Areas, Storage Yards, Furniture …. and more Covering Tameside and surrounding areas such as Ashton, Denton, Stalybridge, Hyde, Mossley, Oldham, Glossop
A Before photo
As you can see this was left a long time before even being cleaned.
Dirty and faded and who knows what its original colour was.
An After Photo
After I power washed with professional cleaning equipment It rejuvenated this paving.
This is one of the things I do best …. Clean !
As you can see from the picture above this was a very long decking area. It was situated under trees – A LOT of trees. This meant that there was a lot of sap and other debris constantly falling on the decking causing some very dark and sticky areas indeed.
I can also provide a decking sealing solution after it has been cleaned.
Using the latest advances in chemical technology the amazing product is a high performance penetrating sealer with the added bonus of improving foot traction to provide a safer grip on wet decking and floors. It will also assist in preserving the life of your timber decking. Besides being used for timber decking, it can be used to seal and protect virtually any porous bare or uncoated timber such as fences, sheds, pergolas etc., greatly increasing their life expectancy.
IMPORTANT INFORMATION – Please Read Before Enquiring About Power Washing Jobs. Use it as your checklist.!
- OUTSIDE TAP – Do you have an outside tap? – I Cannot do it without one. I can however supply and fit an outside tap for £65. This is subject to an assessment to ensure I can install and properly plumb in.
- WATER METER – Are you on a water meter? – My washer uses a lot of water so need to warn you in advance. On this point you may find that my Soft Wash service is better suited to you.
- ACCESS – My machine is quite big and needs access from either the rear or down a side passage if you having the back of your house done. I cannot and will not bring it through your house.
- GOOD BUT – POWER WASHING is great for a good clean up but no matter how good, how big, how powerful or how expensive the machine it cannot remove certain things. Such as Mold, Algae & Fungal Growth, Lichen, Black Spots & many more Organic Stains!
These are IN the stone or brickwork and require a special cleaning solution to remove and reduce further growth.
For this you will need my SOFT WASH option.
- LOOSE & FLAKY – If you are having a decking, a fence or other painted/treated surface done and the existing paint/treatment is old, loose, flaky it will quite probably take more off.
- NEIGHBOURS – Please advise your neighbours in advance. It maybe that there are cars parked nearby or washing on a line and there is inevitably some over-spray.
- SANDING & Oiling – If booking a Clean & Sand or Oil in the case of decking – I cannot sand/oil on the same day due to the paving/decking being far too wet.
I would return on the next dry day that fits in with my schedule.
Also please note that because of the two parts to the clean & sand/oil you will be required to pay 50% on completion of the clean and the remaining 50% on completion of the sanding.
- MINIMUM PRICE – There is a minimum price for any power washing job. I have to do this to cover all my expenses.
This is £60
- QUESTIONS – If you have ANY questions please ask!
The Power Behind The Clean

Tanks for the update! Is this new boilerplste method more like an actual splash intro screen? Would pressing a key interrupt the timer?
Help with multiboot project (newbie alert)

Posted 01 March 2016 - 08:41 AM
It plays an animation sequence (or just one picture) with a specified delay. It cannot be interrupted by the user. Why not try it and you will see?
Posted 01 March 2016 - 12:30 PM
Chenall latest version 0.4.6a is here. Currently 2016-01-03. This can support frames 001-999 for animation now. Looks good. Just help text needs updating and Chenall will probably release it.

Posted 02 March 2016 - 03:14 PM
That sounds like what I am looking for! However, I am going to hold off on the splash screen until a more stable release is available. Unless you are comfortable with such a bleeding edge build.
Thanks again! You have been an immense help!
