Early this year, about N30 billion was reported to have been stolen from the Nigeria Social Insurance Trust Fund (NSITF). The allegation is still unravelling, but the credibility of any tax reform in Nigeria has seriously been damaged.
For a country infested with looters of the nation's treasury, paying any form of tax is unhabitual. Nigerians are weary of paying to their governments—local, state, or federal. Those authorized to collect and remit the funds do steal most of the money. There is no form of retribution for those who engage in national resources theft. Most of them even flaunt their ill-gotten wealth and, they are socially accorded accolades.
The Federal Inland Revenue Services (FIRS), Nigeria's own internal revenue service, has of recent, woken up to an aggressive revenue collection paradigm. The modus operandi includes outright closure of business premises and other forms of legal actions, especially for business taxes. The notion to employ extreme aggression is unnecessary and unrealistic, when the nation's economy is obviously in shambles. The effects are felt everywhere, yet the FIRS is unfettered. If income per person does not exist or has significantly decreased because businesses are unproductive, then the tax agency must carefully evaluate why and how to prop the economy to support the tax assessment of an individual or a company. Using rough-looking Special Anti-Robbery Squads (SARs) police force cannot milk money from an unemployed man/woman, or from a business already in a state of bankruptcy. The act of belated calculation of what a potential enterprise would have paid, does not equate to cash at hand.
The idea of a tax reform system is laudable, only if it is not to exploit the struggling entrepreneurs. Those in charge of the nation's taxes have, in the past, looted the treasury after exploiting the payee. Nigeria's business owners have been subjected to the guillotine, to cough out taxes for those who did embezzle the funds. It is equally ironic that all those who have stolen heavily from the nation's coffers paid zero taxes, and they are walking free.
The challenge facing Nigerians is not whether to pay their taxes or not, but how to earn money to pay them. Government must, first, create the enabling business environments for prosperity. But a situation whereby industries have closed down, unemployment is at its highest figure, the metrics of back taxes don't make any sense. First, incentives to stimulate the economy must be restored, lending through banks, at affordable and reasonable interest rates will propel growth and business developments that will spur robust taxes. But if the FIRS continue to offer largesse in the form of tax break for voluntary past revenue disclosures, only those who looted with excess to throw away will cynically offer some payments to legitimize their shady enterprises. Genuine investors and business owners in Nigeria today are cash-strapped; nothing can come out of the escalated threats.
Tax advocacy in an economically healthy country, with less than this corruption rate should be tolerable, but in a country with over-blown rate of corruption, there is natural inclination to defect. Citizens tend to opt for defection if the bureaucrats lack credibility like ours; others defect because they do not see reasons to pay tax, while some cannot simply afford the tax bill.
Nigerians are not tax conscious; it has not been part of the social and economic culture. The discovery of oil in the 1970s shifted our view of the fact that tax revenue augmentation would have created a healthier economy for all. But oil has become the biggest nemesis for Nigeria: introduction of corruption with impunity, and neglect of other sources of revenues as opposed to fossil fuels.
Despite the massive earnings derived from oil rent, successive governments have done very little to entice Nigerians to contribute directly to government treasury; the funds are guaranteed to be stolen by those enforcing the law.
It is, therefore, the responsibility of those advocating for expansive tax reforms to properly prove to Nigerians that their monies will be used for infrastructural development that will support future generations. The process of motivating the populace to pay their taxes must be hinged on gradual, purposeful tax education. If the wanton theft in the system remains unstoppable, it will be foolhardy to force anyone to pay his/her tax bills.
In other parts of the world, taxes are paid to governments at the local, state and national (federal)levels. These governments have various parts to them, including legislators (who make laws), executives (who enforce laws), judges, and many others. The money these government workers receive to do their jobs comes from taxes.
Taxes take many forms, too. When you work at a job to make money, you pay income taxes. Depending on how much money you make, a certain percentage (part) of the money you make is withheld (kept out of your paycheck and sent to the government).
When you buy things at a store, you also usually pay sales tax, which is a percentage of the cost of the item charged by the store. If you own property, you also pay property taxes on the value of your property.
Paying your taxes is considered a civic duty, although doing so is also a requirement of the law. If you do not pay your taxes, the government agency that oversees taxes — the Internal Revenue Service or IRS — will require you to pay your taxes or else face penalties, such as fines or going to jail.
The money you pay in taxes goes to many places. In addition to paying the salaries of government workers, your tax money also helps to support common resources, such as police and firefighters.
Tax money helps to ensure the roads you travel on are safe and well-maintained. Taxes fund public libraries and parks. Taxes are also used to fund many types of government programmes that help the poor and less fortunate, as well as many schools!
If you haven't had enough tax money withheld from your cheques throughout the year to cover the amount of tax you owe, you will have to send more money ("pay in") to the government. If, however, too much tax money was withheld from your paychecks, you will receive a check (get a "refund") from the government.
While adequate enlightenment is the most reasonable way to educate the citizens of their responsibilities to the sovereignty, those in government must also be seen to judiciously utilize the funds. In a situation like Nigeria where government workers directly steal from the system, it is difficult to motivate people to pay.
The exploitative and aggressive models designed by the FIRS can only lead to more defections, if the cyclic, negative economic conditions prevail.

Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad yesterday said that the bureau has affirmed alterations to The Protection of Children from Sexual Offences (POCSO) Act, further fortifying the law to defend minors in the nation. The arrangement of capital punishment has likewise been incorporated for those discovered liable of bothered strike on a youngster.
"This is an extremely healthy activity by the Association government. The legislature has achieved an expansive correction in the POCSO Demonstration. Our point is to keep youngsters from succumbing to sexual hostility," he told correspondents at a press meet today.

Anyone discovered circling such material for business or different purposes will likewise confront stringent discipline," he said.
The POCSO Demonstration was instituted in 2012 to give a vigorous legitimate structure to the security of youngsters from rape, badgering and erotic entertainment while defending the interests of the tyke at each phase of the legal procedure. Notwithstanding, the ongoing ascent in tyke misuse cases has prompted requests that the law be made progressively stringent to dissuade wrongdoers. A few states, including Haryana, Madhya Pradesh and Rajasthan, have endorsed capital punishment for those discovered blameworthy of assaulting kids beneath 12 years old.

How to Make Use of the "Additional Living Expense" Clause in Your Homeowner's Insurance Policy
As an insured homeowner, if you get displaced from your home as a result of damage sustained in a hurricane, storm or other casualty event, the "additional living expense" clause in your insurance policy is designed to help cover the costs you incur as a result of relocating to temporary housing. But, insurance companies will often attempt to deny coverage or pay less than the full amount to which policyholders are entitled; and, as a result, it is important to make sure you have a clear understanding of your right to "ALE" coverage.

The Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles meet in an important game in the NFC East on Boxing Day in the NFL. I sound like a broken record, but nothing has really changed in this division from the past 10 weeks. No team has emerged as the true favorite, and it has been as struggle for teams to come out as the favorite. With a .500 record of 7-7, the Washington Redskins can take the division with a win tonight. Wait, a team with a 7-7 record can take a division? In the NFC East they can. It can be troubling for some people to fathom that a team with such a poor record can make the postseason, and not only that, host a home game as well. I think all winners of divisions should get an automatic bid into the postseason, but I feel like the team with the better record should be awarded the home playoff game. Call me somebody who just makes sense. In any case, it is nice to have a Saturday night football game here, one that isn't featuring the Dallas Cowboys. I suppose when they made the schedule up at the start of the season it made sense, but no one wants to see Kellen Moore coming in to backup Matt Cassel. At least tonight we will get Sam Bradford and Kirk Cousins. You know it's bad when you'd rather be watching Cousins and Bradford.
Despite the poor records, this is a vital game for the Eagles and Redskins, as well as the Giants for that matter. The Eagles luckily catch the Skins at home tonight at the Linc in Philadelphia. Bradford has been a mixed bag, Cousins has been a mixed bag, hell we can say that for this entire division. Strangely enough, if that bag comes up on the good side, whoever makes the postseason could steal a game. I could see the Redskins winning their first round game at home, with the odds and world stacked against them. The Redskins have to win the NFC East first, though.
This is one of the most important games of Sam Bradford's career. For a guy that has been around for as long as he has, Bradford hasn't faced a pressure spot like this since he played at Oklahoma. Bob Stoops and Oklahoma haven't exactly excelled when the pressure is on. We'll see how they manage in the college football playoff against Clemson, but the Sooners didn't have that killer instinct with Bradford at the helm, despite a highly successful college career. Braford isn't the only guy with pressure on him in this game, I think Chip Kelly is feeling it as well. Kelly is just about this game away from getting fired and heading back to college. Not making the postseason here would jeopardize his future plans in the NFL undoubtedly. I hope you all had a very Merry Christmas. Now let's look for a winner.
Washington Redskins vs. Philadelphia Eagles NFL Betting Odds:
Redskins +3(-110)
vs. Eagles -3(-110)
Over 48(-110)
Under 48(-110)
Odds provided by Bovada.lv
Redskins vs. Eagles Pick:
This game essentially comes down to the quarterbacks. You can say that for a lot of games of course, but it feels like every game comes down to how Sam Bradford did. More often than not, he has done the Eagles a disservice by starting. I thought Bradford was going to be a good fit for the Chip Kelly offense. I think Kelly was thinking the same when he brought him over. Bradford was competent enough to handle the no-huddle fast faced offense over at Oklahoma, but he has had difficulties in Philadelphia. Maybe he just isn't a good quarterback? Bradford has passed for 16 touchdowns and 13 interceptions. I think that is just what he is, an average quarterback. Some days he will come to play, but you cannot count on that happening routinely.
DeMarco Murray has been floating in the water without a rudder in Philadelphia. He doesn't look like he wants to be there, he isn't playing hard, and consequently is seeing more of the bench than he is the field. Like Bradford, the offense has just been mediocre as a unit. They are 15th in the NFL in yards per game and are averaging only 22.7 points per game. However, the Redskins are behind them in 21st. I noted earlier how the Eagles are lucky they are catching the Skins at home, and it is for good reason. Washington is 1-5 on the road this season, their only win coming against the Chicago Bears. The Redskins took the first meeting 23-20 in Washington. I foresee a split happening. Eagles take this one by 6 or so.

The Western Mustangs men's volleyball team fell short of a trip to the Ontario University Athletics semifinal with a well-fought 3–1 loss to the Queen's Gaels on Saturday.
While the Mustangs were the favourite to win the match and move on to the OUA semifinals, having finished with four more regular season wins than their rivals from Kingston, it was the Gaels who came out firing from the start.
The first set was tightly contested, as Queen's edged out a 25–22 win to go up 1–0 in the match. While the Mustangs got off to a slow start in the second set, they eventually took a 16–14 lead heading into the technical timeout. Behind stellar play from Bryn Ramsay and Chris Newcombe, the Mustangs tied up the match with a 25–22 win in the second set.
It was in the third set that the Gaels began proving their superiority, comfortably taking the third set 25–17 to go up 2–1.
The Mustangs put up a valiant final effort in the fourth set, as outside hitter Zeid Hamadeh earned four kills and three digs, trying desperately to keep his team alive. However, the Gaels would prove too much to handle as they took the fourth set 26–24 to win the match and secure their spot in the OUA final four.
"We expected exactly that type of contest," Mustangs head coach, Jim Sage, said. "We knew they were going to be good, they're a good, quality team. We didn't have our best match of the year when we needed it, it wasn't any one individual, just at times we struggled and they took advantage of it."
While the Mustangs had a standout regular season, winning the second most games in the OUA, their earlier-than-expected playoff exit is tough to swallow. When the two teams met in their only regular season showdown in late November, the Mustangs came out on top in an exciting 3–2 win.
But with their season and championship aspirations on the line the Mustangs couldn't come out with the win. The loss is especially disappointing considering the Mustangs had a veteran-laden team that looked capable of winning the program's first Forsyth Cup since 1979.
"We had a great regular season, finishing second in the OUA was a great accomplishment," said team captain and setter, Matt Hooker. "But all that matters at the end of the day is the outcome in playoffs. It's disappointing but we have a great group of guys."
With the win, the Gaels, who last won an OUA championship in 2012, will move on to face the Ryerson Rams in the semifinals. The other semifinal game will see the Windsor Lancers face off with the McMaster Marauders.

Top 10 Theories for Why "Old Marina" (a.k.a. Shayna Rose) Left The Fresh Beat Band
I've already outed myself as an over-the-hill Fresh Beat Band groupie, so there's no sense in pretending I don't put my rock star jacket on and jam to their CD in the car long after I've dropped off the kids at daycare — or that Mr. Candy and I don't spend an unhealthy amount of time ruminating over why Old Marina (a.k.a. Shayna Rose) left the show, thereby devastating legions of similarly obsessed parents (my toddler, on the other hand, can't tell the difference between the two Marinas, even when watching older and newer episodes back-to-back). Shayna claims she left to "get married and pursue other opportunities," but could there be more to it? A pressing question we'll further explore in my list of…
Top 10 Theories Explaining Why Shayna Rose REALLY Left The Fresh Beat Band
10. Came down with a debilitating and incurable case of Loco Legs.
9. Tired of creepy dads asking if they can help take her Rock Star Jacket OFF.
8. Decided she could retire happily after achieving life goal…
…of getting to smell Justin Bieber's hair. (Scent: lilac.)
7. Two words: smoothie rehab.
6. A scandalous affair with Twist left her pregnant with their love-child.
In fact, here is a picture of their baby, just one day old…!
5. Left in shame after losing a dance-off with The Fresh Beat mini-mes (a.k.a. "The Junior Beats").
4. She was sick and tired of the diva behavior of certain castmates.
3. When Lindsay Lohan flushed her career down the toilet, Shayna thought she could step in and nab her movie roles… until Emma Stone did. D'oh.
2. She quit the show, furious, when a "Freeze Dance" gone awry left her frozen in this very position for months.
1. There was only enough room in the cast for one person with a porn star name. (While Shayna Rose left, Jon Beavers remains.)

Cleaning the carpet and floor mats of your car may perhaps be the least important task when compared to keeping the engine and other powered parts in good condition. However, keeping your car interior clean is the real distinction between a sorry state of a car and a car in good condition and well cared for.
It's really so easy to clean the carpets and floor mats of your car in no time at all. The peace and spotless interior of your car is rewarding enough to carry out this simple task. No doubt car carpets and floor mats receive the most abuse, are often neglected and at times may be tough to clean.
That's why it's important to gear yourself with the right tools and the right methods to clean your car carpet and floor mats. Unfortunately the right tools can be expensive though they will give you the best results. Well maintained car carpets, may be easier to clean by hand, though it can be long and labour-intensive.

Survivor Spotlight : Tiffany Tiff (Lead Admin over at Surviving a Silent Killer . . Let's Talk Babies )
Hi! My name is Tiffany. I am a mother of 2 beautiful sweet boys and married to a loving supportive husband. Only few people know I served 4 years on active duty with the Army and once I got out I began working at Kennedy Space Center in Florida. It was a lifelong dream of mine to work at KSC and have been living the dream for 11.5 years now.
August 30, 2008 I was blindsided when the doctor came in the rook to tell me my upper back pain was actually a pulmonary embolism and that I am lucky to be alive. He proceeded to tell me I would have to stay in the hospital and my first response was "Will I be out of the hospital by Monday night? I have work on Tuesday" He looked at me and said "no you will be here awhile." The next morning my world changed when I was told I have Factor V and birth control pills are the reasons why I clotted so bad. I was the youngest patient in the pulmonary ward. I had every doctor possible coming in to ask me my story and telling me how I was beyond lucky to be alive. They said I was a medical mystery. After 4 weeks I was allowed to return to work, which thankfully everyone has been so understanding.
Another complication I have faced is multiple miscarriages, it hasn't been easy carrying that burden. Because of my FVL, I have to take Lovenox injections during pregnancy and it wasn't always easy but I will tell you it was worth it. My oldest son just turned 15 and looking at him now you would have no idea he was born 6 weeks early only weighing 3LBS due to a undiagnosed placental clot that wasn't discovered until after birth. My youngest who is about to be 3 years old is my rainbow after the storms of miscarriage. I took 529 injection during my pregnancy with him to make sure we both survived the pregnancy. Even though I began on one injection a day I ended up clotting, my dose was quadrupled! Even after every possible complication during my pregnancy I was able to successfully deliver a healthy, happy baby boy 3 weeks early weighing 8lbs.
I am so blessed to be an admin on the Surviving a Silent Killer… Let's Talk Babies page. I thought I was alone during my pregnancy. I never knew anyone who had to take blood thinners during pregnancy. The fact that I am able to help these lovely ladies through their journey and to let them know they are not alone is incredible!!!!
In my free time, HA! I'm a working mom, I love to sew, ride 4-wheelers with the family, bike or out competing 5K races with my family.

Erwin's a normal little town. The mountains aren't huge and the town sprawls—clusters of buildings strung on ropes of gray highway. There's a train, an old-fashioned freight train that reminds me of my childhood Christmas platform.
Back when Aquaman gave me that trail magic ride to the store, he said there was a local bald that was just as beautiful as Max Patch. Big Bald. Well, I climbed it the other day, and Sir, you are no Max Patch! One reason was that from Big Bald, every vista was corrupted by webs of roadways and machinery scars and tumbled houses and something that looked like a golf course. All of that was Erwin.
There's not much to say about Erwin. LOL. I think I've reached the end of my poetry.
They do have an excellent grocery store.
I'm doing my least favorite thing: Repackaging food. I HATE dealing with the food. If I could get rid of one aspect of hiking, it would be the whole food thing. But that goes for home, too.
I sent my stove home. I'm not cooking, and the bulk and weight are too much. I've lost a lot of weight. The pack weight has to come down, too.
I'll be heading out with six days of food. I'll have to top off in Hampton, but the next major stop will be Damascus.
A lot of people quit in Damascus, apparently; it's a psychological milestone.
Smowman, who hiked before, said we're still just fine for getting to Maine on time.
OK, I got nothin'. Some days just don't warrant that many words. Which is just what a zero is all about. 🙂
I'm planning to eat breakfast at 6:30 tomorrow, then hoof it back to the trail by 7. Get there by 8, and back on track.
By the way, is the size of the photos OK? I can go a size larger.
OK, back to communing with my gear!

Ajax had to play one more match before the winter break. The team from Amsterdam was longing for a vacation, with almost a dozen players out with injuries and tired from five months of peak performance. Excelsior tried to 'hurt Ajax', as coach Adri Koster said, but an early goal from Zlatan and a red card for Excelsior player Buijs made that Ajax won relatively easy in rainy Rotterdam: 0-2.
,,The win is what is most important'', coach Ronald Koeman said afterwards. ,,We came to get three points, that's all.'' Under normal circumstances it would have been surprising that Ajax would be happy with a small victory against the newcomer in the Eredivisie. But with a full squad of injured players, such as key players Van der Vaart, Litmanen, Chivu and Trabelsi, and the efforts of the past five months draining the team's energy reserves, Ajax had enough reason to look forward to the winter break and it could afford to more or less go through the motions against Excelsior.
Ajax were hoping to decide the match quickly, and the team got a great boost from Zlatan Ibrahimovic, the striker-in-form the past few weeks. After only two minutes the Swede opened the score with a nice strike from middle distance. After the good start, Ajax loosened their grip on Excelsior, who refused to be discouraged by the early deficit. ,,They got better'', Koeman agreed, ,,but except for two chances they did not make it too difficult for us.''
Nourdin Boukhari should have decided the match after fourteen minutes, when the left winger got the ball in the rebound of a Zlatan shot, but failed to score in a wide-open goal.
Excelsior's last chance went up in smoke, when defender Danny Buijs was sent off in the 38th minute for a hard foul from behind on Boukhari. ,,Then we lost the initiative completely'', Excelsior coach Koster said. ,,We tried to hurt Ajax by playing one-on-one, because we knew they were tired. But after the red card that was not possible anymore.''
Yet Ajax failed to translate the numerical advantage into goals in the remainder of the first half. ,,Defensively we were alright'', Koeman thought. ,,But up front we lacked precision. Today I can understand that. We are tired.''
The lack of precision was illustrated by the hard working Boukhari just before halftime. Nigel de Jong released a shot, that was stopped by goalkeeper Malkowski. Again the ball ended up right in front of Boukhari, who missed before an open goal.
In the second half it was almost only Ajax who had the ball and attacked, although it did not lead to any great chances directly. Until Andy van der Meyde's corner kick went to Petri Pasanen, who headed the ball in after 51 minutes. The match had been decided and Ajax could play out the time comfortably.
Even with three substitutions for Ajax - Wamberto, Stefano Seedorf en Mido replaced Boukhari, Witschge en Zlatan - nothing changed in Rotterdam, where the wet pitch made good football impossible.
,,We could have done better in attack'' Koeman said. ,,But it is fine like this. We can go into the winter break with our heads held high.''
The coach declared after the match that he was happy with Ajax's first half of the season. ,,We can be satisfied, the group has made progress. We have been able to deal with all the injuries, partly because the young players have developed quickly. And the older players have done well too. What can be improved, is finishing the chances. We often need too many opportunities to decide a match. That means we have to play at full power for 90 minutes most of the games. We are paying the price for that now. But the results are good. we are still in the race for the championship and we have reached the second round of the Champions League. The only negative was losing to PSV, but the competition is not decided now. The result of NAC - Feyenoord (1-1) is important, because we keep a distance from the number three'', Koeman said.

For the second time this year, the City of Santa Monica will open a city-built park Sunday, July 15th.
At less than half an acre, Euclid Park, in the 1500 block of Euclid Street between Colorado Avenue and Broadway, is the second city-built park to open in Santa Monica in 24 years.
The 8.3-acre Airport Park, at the northwest corner of Bundy Drive and Airport Avenue, on the south side of Santa Monica Airport, was the first to open this year, on April 29th.
The development of Euclid Park is part of the city's Parks and Recreation Master Plan, a 20-year plan for over $142 million worth of improvements to parks, open spaces and community facilities in Santa Monica, city officials said.
Karen Ginsberg, assistant director of the Santa Monica Community and Cultural Services Department, called it a "wonderful accomplishment" for the city to open nearly nine acres of park space as part of the Parks and Recreation Master Plan.
Euclid Park, a small neighborhood park designed by Rios Clementi Hale Studios and artist Abbie Baron, contains shade trees, a trellis, seating areas, a children's play area with a swing set and climber and a gardening area with ten plots.
"It's very much a neighborhood park," Ginsberg said.
City officials are scheduled to celebrate the grand opening of Euclid Park from 1 to 3 p.m. Sunday, July 15th, with a dedication ceremony scheduled at 1:30 p.m. The event will include music, art, refreshments and gardening demonstrations. Parking will be provided for the event at the Santa Monica Seafood parking lot at 1205 Colorado Ave.
The Euclid Park project had been in the works since 1998, when the city purchased the site from the county as part of a combined parks and housing development, city officials said.
"It was a continued effort on the part of the housing division and the Community and Cultural Services Department to create open space and affordable housing," Ginsberg said.
The park is adjacent to Hacienda del Mar, a 13-unit residence for people with disabilities that is run by United Cerebral Palsy. The organization renovated a historic 1928 brick Spanish Colonial Revival building, formerly a Los Angeles County Health facility, and completed the work in 2003.
As part of the renovation, the city funded the construction of two small public meeting rooms in the Hacienda del Mar building that can be used for park activities.
Euclid Park is the result of an extensive community design process that included a survey, community meetings, Recreation and Parks Commission meetings and a joint meeting of the Arts Commission and Public Art Committee, city officials said.

In such conditions my mind kept telling me that we had to get some ABC to cool down the body temperature and in the same time to satisfy our indulgence in this cool dessert. But then it is not an easy task nowadays to find good ABC. ABC can be found in many places but most of them are really lousy and not worthwhile to spend the penny on it.
Being a PJ boy spending my entire life in this beautiful city has brought me to many places, places that dishes out good food as well as good desserts. And today I will or rather I dared to say that this drink store in The Medan Selera (adjacent to the wet market) PJ Old Town does the BEST ABC in PJ and KL. This place is called 'Gerai Minum Weng Kee'. They are operated by a husband & wife team with a couple of Indon staff to help around. They have been in business for 'donkey' years and has made a name for themselves in the business.
They have a handful of regulars who specifically goes there for their ABC. Besides ABC they are also famous for their Chendol and Iced Bubur Cha Cha. Of course they also serves the normal drinks from carbonated drinks to ice teh Cina.
These ABC's are just unbelievably good and most of the time I will have a couple to really have the satisfaction feel. Otherwise it is like I have betrayed myself by not having more than one. This indulgence in a way is not good for the body system because of the high content of sugar in it. I will have 'sugar rush' after gulping it all. Oh well.....
You can have an option for their regular Chendol or Chendol with red beans. As usual I will choose the latter as it is my favourite.
As usual the key secret to the success lies in the 'gula Melaka' and the fine blended ice. The taste is really inviting ..... true enough it was so inviting that I wanted a third serving.
I would rate a 5/5.

Since 2012, Candace has worked in finance as an accountant and account manager. After finishing her B.S. in Accounting & Business Management at St. Petersburg College in 2016, Candace joined the APN team in 2018.
Meet Candace
Q: What is your secret talent?
I race motorcycles.
Q: What is your biggest achievement in life?
My biggest achievement (so far) has been marrying my husband and having our first baby. Though it seems so "everyday-normal," it has been, by far, a huge accomplishment for me.
Q: What is your hometown and what do you love about it?
I lived in a sleepy town near Tampa called Valrico when I was a child, and my family moved several times before I found my way back. I love Tampa because it seems to have something for everyone, it's a mid-sized city with a big-city feel. I can go downtown into the hustle-and-bustle of the corporate world and then drive a short distance to the beach or out to the cow pastures and orange groves.

This workshop and field trip is for beginning birders learning the fundamentals and those wanting to brush up on their birding skills. You will spend the first hour and 15 minutes in a workshop learning how to get started and improve birding skills, techniques, and confidence. Topics include: birding practices, optics selection and use, field guides, bird identification considerations and techniques, field notebooks, birding etiquette and ethics, and common birds of Galveston Island. Emphasis will be placed on the field identification of common species. Bring binoculars and field guides if you have them. A copy of the presentation notes will be provided.
After a lunch break, we meet back at headquarters at 1:00 p.m. to board a bus and head out to several local field sites. We select locations designed to test your skills by applying the techniques learned earlier in the workshop. Our birding sites will include Pier 19, Corps Woods, East End Lagoon, and Big Reef Nature Park. These sites allow us to explore all habitats associated with a barrier island – beach, uplands, freshwater ponds, brackish lagoons, marsh and wetlands. Additionally, we explore a heavily wooded area located adjacent to a large spoils area and the Galveston Ship Channel, which serves as a local migrant songbird trap. This trip is designed to give each participant the extra attention needed to develop the skill sets to increase their confidence in the field.
Bring binoculars, field guides, field notebook, bug spray, water, snacks, sunscreen and dress for outdoors.
Targets: pelicans, cormorants, gulls, terns, grackles, doves, herons, egrets, shorebirds, and other common Galveston species
Note: This workshop/field trip combo breaks for lunch after the workshop. Participants will make their own lunch plans and return to festival headquarters to board the bus for the field trip.

Flash floods kill 15 in Pakistan's Balochistan province: Officials
The rains have caused plenty of damage and casualties in many parts of Balochistan province.world Updated: Jul 03, 2017 00:13 IST
At least 15 people have been killed in flash floods triggered by torrential rains which swept away several houses in Pakistan's southwestern Balochistan province, officials said.
The floods followed heavy downpour which has been lashing several parts of the country since Friday.
"According to our provincial disaster management cell, 15 people were washed away in the floods and 11 bodies have been found so far," Balochistan government spokesperson Anwarul Haq Kakar said.
The 11 bodies were recovered in Lasbella district where flash floods swept away several mud houses, Kakar said.
Lasbella district and Hub, which are close to Karachi, have been worst affected by the flash floods, he said
Around 25 mud houses were swept away as rains intensified since Friday night, he said.
The rains have caused plenty of damage and casualties in many parts of the province.
In Karachi, nine persons were killed in rain-related incidents since Friday.
Due to poorly constructed houses in mainly rural areas of Balochistan and Sindh, heavy rains and flash floods cause misery and damages every year.

A serious snowfall in both islands of New Zealand over the past few days has spurred me into posting about some garden work I saw in Japan last year.
Every year on November 1 workmen begin tying ropes to the pines in the famous Kenrokuen garden in Kanazawa (on Japan's west coast). Yukizuri, which literally means snow hanging, helps the branches bear the weight of Kanazawa's 'heavy' (moisture-laden) snow and have become a symbol for the city. The work always begins on the same date and so has become a 'seasonal marker' for the city's inhabitants, even though snow generally doesn't fall until January.
We saw yukizuri used in other places and on other types of tree, but it is something particularly associated with the pines of Kanazawa. One online source says the method was adapted from the practice of supporting apple tree branches laden with fruit. Pines have a special place in the symbolism of Japan as the tree is among the many signifiers for long life, as well as good fortune and virtue. Read more about its symbolism here.
The Kenrokuen yukizuri trees are lit at night and look spectacular. The garden was started in about 1676 as a Chinese-style stroll garden, destroyed by fire in 1759 and restored from 1774 before opening its 11.4ha to the public in 1874.
Kenrokuen literally means combining (ken) – six (roku) – garden (en) with the 'six attributes that make up a perfect garden' being grandness, seclusion, artificiality, antiquity, waterways (water is piped from a river 11km away) and lookout views. It is considered one of the three best gardens in Japan.

Libby Casey, APRN – Washington DC
Congressman Don Young started his 20th term in the House of Representatives today. He was sworn in with the rest of the House members in an en mass ceremony performed by newly elected House Speaker John Boehner of Ohio.
Young supports the Republicans first big agenda item: repealing the Democratic-lead health care bill. He says there are a lot of brand new Republicans this year who plan to shake things up, but says he'll wait and see where things actually go.
Young had a reception this evening to celebrate with staffers and friends, but this is his first time in nearly 40 years of taking office without his wife Lu by his side. She died in 2009.

Malta, 11 July, 2016
Preceded by the annual meeting of the EAN Board of Directors on June 23rd 2016, and followed the next day by the 3rd International EAN Conference on Bullying, held in Malta and honored by the participation of HE the President of Malta, Ms. Marie Louise Coleiro Preca, and other Maltese dignitaries, the General Assembly of the European Anti-Bullying Network (EAN) adopts the following points:
1. EAN members stress the urgency of addressing the problem of bullying, a phenomenon growing at a concerning pace in our societies, both in Europe and globally.
2. Exchanging experiences, analyses and good practices, and guided by academic advice, EAN members warn that a variety of societal developments, such as an increasing lack of empathy, competitive pressure, intolerance, stereotypes and power struggles lead to the phenomenon of bullying, which primarily affects children, but also all kinds of minority groups in society. The fast rise of cyber-bullying, far more invasive into private life than the traditional forms of bullying, is a matter of particular and growing concern.
3. Considering the above-mentioned, EAN members in Malta decide on specific joint or common actions, namely:
· to pursue a framework of certification based on quality policies in schools and other institutional environments where bullying needs to be combated;
· to support educational initiatives and policies enhancing social attitudes and skills, while promoting the use of EAN as a switchboard platform to this effect;
· to report in September 2016 in the context of the UNGASS anti-bullying resolutions.
4. EAN members furthermore agree on a joint strategy:
· to expand the network so as to include members from at least all EU Member States;
· to enhance common working methods in order to ensure continuity in the exchange and implementation of joint or converging actions among members of EAN;
· to demand from their respective competent national authorities that National Anti-Bullying Action Plans be enhanced or, in their absence, developed on the basis of the set of recommendations established by the European Anti-Bullying Network;
· to promote and actively put at the disposal of young people and vulnerable groups concrete instruments of communication which open ways for them to participate in the discernment of, and the combat against bullying;
· to set up joint mechanisms among EAN members to collect and monitor data on bullying, in order to map the phenomenon and its development at the European level;
· to initiate a European Road Map on the combat against bullying and the promotion of relevant social citizenship skills;
· to mobilize the EU institutions in order to generate their structural support for efforts to combat bullying and raise awareness among children, young people, parents, educators, practitioners, and the general public;
· to encourage and support, beyond the EU context, pertinent initiatives in the framework of multilateral organizations, including UNESCO and other components of the UN System, addressing the various forms and aspects, causes and consequences of bullying.
