For even more information about the car that's fueling the Turning Point, head to our YouTube channel to see videos about the Mirai's driving, comfort, technology, and safety features.
We've designed every aspect of the Toyota Mirai to be as innovative, efficient and reliable as our fuel cell technology.
When you pump hydrogen into the vehicle, the gas travels to a carbon-fiber reinforced fuel tanks where it's stored.
The FCV's front intake grills deliver the outside air to the fuel cell stack.
Hydrogen travels from the tanks to the fuel cell stack. There, it goes through a chemical reaction involving the oxygen in the air, creating electricity to power the vehicle.
When you put your foot on the gas pedal, electricity from the fuel cell stack is sent to the motor.
In the end, the only by-product of creating electricity with hydrogen and oxygen in our fuel cell stack is water, which leaves through the tailpipe.
Safety was a primary objective when engineering the Mirai. Our proprietary safety system is based on four fundamental principles:
Every material selected is used to contain hydrogen safely.
To prevent hydrogen from traveling to potentially damaged systems outside of the tank, the system automatically shuts the tank's hydrogen output valve.
All hydrogen-related parts are located outside the cabin and designed to help ensure leaked hydrogen doesn't build up.
Since the gas is lighter than air, it rapidly disperses, reducing the time window to cause damage in the event of an ignition.
A vehicle as groundbreaking and revolutionary as the hydrogen-fueled Toyota Mirai demands equaly groundbreaking and revolutionary safety technology. Case in point, our multi-patented, carbon-fiber-wrapped, polymer-lined tanks are built in a three-layer structure and absorb five times the crash energy of steel.
Inner: polymer-lined layer to hold the hydrogen
Middle: structural layer of carbon-fiber-reinforced polymer to provide strength
Outer: glass-fiber-reinforced polymer layer to help protect from surface abrasions
See how our hydrogen tanks undergo extreme safety testing.
Over the years, Mirai prototypes have undergone millions of miles of road and track evaluation, rigorous in-house crash testing and more than 10,000 miles of extreme climate testing, helping ensure the same world-class safety you'll find in any Toyota vehicle.
Mirai features a unique frame designed to distribute crash forces efficiently. In the event of a collision, the impact force is distributed around the passenger cabin and the Toyota Fuel Cell Stack and hydrogen tanks, reducing body deformation and helping to reduce the chance of injury. The collapsible steering column also helps protect the driver by absorbing force during impact.
The Mirai is equipped with Toyota's Star Safety System, which is a suite of safety systems for braking, stability and traction control. These include Enhanced Vehicle Stability Control (E-VSC),1 Traction Control (TRAC), 4-wheel Anti-lock Brake System (ABS), Electronic Brake-force Distribution (EBD), Brake Assist (BA)2 and Smart Stop Technology® (SST).3
This system helps keep the road safe with a millimeter-wave radar that detects a vehicle ahead or obstacles, etc. on the same route. It provides an audible warning and a display notification to alert you of a possible collision under certain circumstances. When you depress the brake pedal after an alert, PCS powerfully assists braking power. Even if you don't react, automatic braking and collision-avoidance support will help prevent a collision. For example, if the vehicle ahead is traveling at 20 mph and Mirai is traveling at 50 mph Mirai will decelerate by up to 30 mph to prevent a collision or reduce collision damage.
With available Safety Connect®, emergency assistance is within your reach. Via Toyota's 24/7 call center, Safety Connect® offers subscribers helpful features such as Emergency Roadside Assistance, Stolen Vehicle Locator, Roadside Assistance and Automatic Collision Notification.32
Toyota cares about your privacy, the security of your vehicle data and the security of your personal information.

A camera uses visible lane lines to determine if the vehicle veers out of its lane without signaling a turn, and alerts the driver with a buzzer or a display notification.7
The cabin is equipped with a driver and front passenger Advanced Airbag System, front seat-mounted side airbags for the driver and front passenger, front and rear side curtain airbags, plus driver knee and front passenger seat-cushion airbags. They're all part of a system designed to help keep you safe.8
No internal combustion. No carbon emissions. Explore the inner workings of FCV technology.
The PCU decides when to use stored energy from the battery or to draw energy directly from the fuel cell stack. This is part of what makes the Mirai so energy efficient, and is based on the Toyota hybrid PCU found in the Prius.
For the electric motor, we chose an existing motor from one of our Lexus hybrid vehicles, providing a history of reliability and reducing overall cost.
Our four-phase boost converter brings voltage to 650 volts. Driving at a higher voltage makes more efficient use of the motor, matching the Mirai's power output to Toyota's other hybrids. This is a key factor in allowing Toyota to use the battery, PCU and motor from other Toyota and Lexus vehicles.
The stack generates power by combining hydrogen with oxygen from the outside air. Currently, Toyota leads the industry in this technology, achieving the highest power output while dramatically reducing the system's price and size from its previous fuel cell vehicles.
All of our hydrogen tanks are produced in-house and specially designed for the Mirai. Toyota's origins as a loom-weaving business helped our engineers design the carbon fiber weaving on our tanks, significantly reducing production time and improving the weight-to-storage ratio.
The battery allows for regenerative braking and also assists during high power demands like accelerating, improving total system efficiency and fuel economy. Like the motor, the battery is an existing design from one of our Toyota hybrid vehicles, which provides a proven design and reliability.
Owners of the 2016 Toyota Mirai will gain access to a first-class service program. Because trailblazers deserve something special.

"Very enjoyable listen,"
If you liked Mote in God's Eye and wanted more storyline then this is the book for you. It starts off a bit slow but the ending is well worth it.
I'm the managing editor of the Fantasy Literature blog. Life's too short to read bad books!
"Not gripping"
Originally posted at Fantasy Literature.
The Gripping Hand (1993) is Larry Niven and Jerry Pournelle's sequel to their popular 1974 novel The Mote in God's Eye, which you probably want to read first. This review will have a couple of spoilers for The Mote in God's Eye.
Recall that by the year 3017 AD, humans had designed the Alderson Drive — an interstellar transporter which allowed them to jump out of our galaxy to colonize different star systems. Then they discovered the first alien species — the Moties — who were excellent engineers but did not know the science behind the Alderson Drive. The Moties must breed to survive and were quickly overpopulating their own star system. Because they represent a major threat to our species, the human space navy has been guarding the only known gateway out of the Motie system so they can't escape.
Twenty-five years later, His Excellency Horace Bury, a billionaire merchant trader, and his charismatic pilot, Sir Captain Kevin Renner, are spying for the human navy as they go about their usual business. Their navy job is to keep an ear and eye out for rumors of revolt against the empire but, because of their previous experience with the Moties, they also listen for anything that might hint that the Moties are trying to escape their system. Recently they've started hearing people use the term "the gripping hand," an idiom that only makes sense to the Moties because of their peculiar anatomy. Bury and Renner suspect that some group of humans might be working with the Moties. This leads the duo to the planet Sparta to investigate, and then on to inspect the naval blockade of the Motie system. As they worry about an imminent Motie break-out, they discover that the Moties lied to them 25 years ago. After talking with cultural anthropologist Sally Fowler, who was also in the original delegation to the Motie system, they also discover a possible permanent solution to the Motie problem. The human race doesn't know it yet, but they're depending on Bury and Renner to solve all these problems and keep them safe.
In my review of The Mote in God's Eye, I reported that I enjoyed that book's mystery, its exploration of an alien civilization, and its occasional humor. My complaints were that the prose lacks style, the characterization is shallow, there is way too much dialogue, and it feels old-fashioned for a story set in 3017 AD. Unfortunately, The Gripping Hand suffers from all of the issues I listed as "complaints" and retains none of the good features of The Mote in God's Eye. The book is excessively talky as the characters (who are still shallow) move from meeting to meeting, trying to decide what to do about the Moties. Their talking wore me out and eventually I started to zone out during the meetings. I totally agreed with one of the characters who said "I wish you had a fast forward button, Kevin" and groaned when Kevin later said "I may have to lecture." And unfortunately, Kevin is actually the most interesting character in the book.
The Gripping Hand was published in 1993 and the story is set in 3042, yet Niven and Pournelle's female characters feel like they were written in 1970. I can tell that the authors have tried to make the ladies seem modern by making them educated and letting them sleep around, but they're still treated as sex objects. Each (except for Sally, because she's the older married woman) is sized up for her physical attributes and how "expensive" she is. In one restaurant where Kevin is eating, he says the men are "very busy" and the women are "expensive." This seems like an old-fashioned way to think about women. Each woman also has to be a sexual partner for one of the men (they can't just be single) and we're told when the female reporter is and isn't wearing underwear. There are numerous little places where Niven and Pournelle try but fail to convince me that their women are modern. Even the character names feel like 1970: Kevin, Jennifer, Sally, Sandy, Glenda Ruth, Cynthia, Joyce, Horace. I just couldn't believe this was the advanced human society of 3042 AD. If so, it seems we've regressed.
I know that this is simply an issue of two 60 year old men (they are now around 80) trying to write modern female characters. They probably can't help it, poor guys. I could have forgiven the sexism if The Gripping Hand had been exciting, but it's not. It's boring.
I listened to the audio version produced by Audible Studios and read by L.J. Ganser. This was a nice production. Too bad it was so boring.
"A worthy follow up"
Pournelle and Niven have written some great stuff and this is a stand out. For once an alien race (the "moties") that is different and self-consistent is portrayed in a sympathetic light. I would recommend that you read "The mote in God's eye" first but not essential. One of the best Sci Fi novels from the recent era.
I'm a apocalyptic story fanatic...maybe that's why I prep. I've read to0 many end of the world as you know it books.
"Maybe its me but I found this difficult to follow."
It was ok but I had a hard time following the story line a lot of times. There seemed to be a lot of unimportant nonsense mixed in. Perhaps this was the authors method of building depth to the story/characters but I found it derailed the plot.
The first book was better...however, I found that the author trying to pass creatures that can modify and improve advanced technology as unintelligent animals was more than a stretch.
Lover of sci-fi, fantasy, horror, mystery, and westerns in all media, including old-time radio dramatizations.
"Solid, but not revolutionary"
I enjoyed both the story and the performance, but neither left me begging for more. 'The Mote in God'd Eye' should definitely be experienced, first. Don't expect any new ideas or entertaining twists. It's solid scifi, but that's all.
- Dayton
"Love the Authors, Book is a flop"
I've been a fan of the Niven/Pournelle team forever. But apparently even the best have their bad turns, and The Gripping Hand is theirs. It's probably okay if you're still under the thrall of The Mote, so you don't notice how bad this one is. Otherwise though, this book does NOT stand alone as anything worth reading. Sorry, but that's just how it is.
"Not as good as the Mote in God's Eye."
The story is a bit slow and seems especially drawn out at the end. The characters are not particularly well developed except for the main 2 or 3. Several of the situations that caused major plot events seemed implausible. If you liked, The Mote in God's Eye, this one falls well short of the mark set by the classic.
I generally enjoy Niven/Pournelle books (Niven more so) ... but this one was rather uninspired. Nothing new was introduced, the characters weren't so interesting, there was no internal conflicts ... just recycled stuff to get the page count up so they could get paid.
I am an avid lover of books and stories. Audible has provided a great outlet for me to read when otherwise I couldn't. I love dogs.
"A well thought out and well performed sequal"
The logic flowed
Yes. Who would not
The Moties were well done.
No, simply enjoyable.
No, it met my expectations.

Joe Budden: "There's so many memorable [fans I've met off social media]. It's so nice when you get to meet some of the people who follow you so intensely online. These people are invested in you, they've grown up with you. They'll show you tattoos that they have on them or they've got you as their phone wallpaper. It's really special to see it for yourself.
"For the last few years, I've actually thrown Twitter fan kickball games in the summertime, just to meet some of these people. This is the fourth year coming up. I'll wake up on a hot day, tweet the location of the park and the time, and like 50 kids from online show up at a park you tweeted two hours ago. People bring their dogs and kids, it's like a family day."

Amazing service and food. Clean comfortable and nice music. Exactly what I was looking for. Had a scallop appetizer and chicken dish with lemon rice.more
I will keep my review short. The food was quite good, but the service was exceptionally rude. My waiter acted as if he was bothered by any attempt to communicate with him, as he on two occasions told me to "hold on" and then proceeded to walk away. The second time, he didn't return to even see what I wanted until he was reminded that I had simply been trying to order some bread. The look...more
Stopped here after a Chelsea game for dinner. The Lamb chops are off the chain. I had the Buffalo Vindaloo, maybe it is the meat, but I was not thrilled with the taste. Service here is great, have not complain. Nice restaurant to eat at after the game while the crowd thins out.more
Really enjoyed this spot!
Extremely attentive and professional service, beautiful and unique menu options and not too expensive. Will be going back!more
Oh Kishmish how I miss you. I visited London and was fortunate enough to find this place about a mile from my hotel. Hands down the best indian food I've ever had.
I would describe it as a contemporary Indian restaurant, friendly, nice decor and not pretentious. Traditional flavors but elevated to something like I've never had before. So flavorful, spicy, and delicious. I was in London for a...more

Mega Bears Fan
Star Trek: Enterprise is a very divisive topic among Trekkers / Trekkies. Personally, I'm not a big fan. It was a perfectly adequate space adventure TV show, but just never quite worked as hard science fiction for me, let alone as "Star Trek". There were certainly some stand-out good episodes. The haunted space station of "Dead Stop" and the mirror universe antics of "In a Mirror, Darkly" being among my favorites. The annoying thing is that the show made several mistakes at very fundamental levels before it even got off the ground. I could have lived with the show being a prequel, but the efforts to make the show seem both futuristic to the viewing audience, but also less advanced than the (then 40-year-old) original series put the show in an awkward juxtaposition with established series continuity. The hackneyed time travel meta-plot certainly didn't help.
"Juxtaposed" is an excellent way of describing Enterprise as a whole. It's a show that simultaneously seemed ashamed of its "Star Trek" name (remember, it premiered with the title "Enterprise", and "Star Trek" was only stapled back on in later seasons), while also indulging in needless - and sometimes cringe-worthy - fan service (such as the appearance of the Borg, Ferengi, and the entire episode "In A Mirror, Darkly"). It wanted to distance itself from established Trek tropes, but also brought back many of the same technologies, concepts, and character archetypes (simply renaming many of them). It set itself at the cusp of development of advanced science fiction technologies, but completely waffled when it came to telling hard science fiction stories about those technologies. It wanted to be simultaneously a prequel and a sequel via its contrived time travel premise. It was this lack of confidence and true vision that really killed this show.
The show made the mistake of trying to present a Star Trek setting that was less technologically advanced, but still went ahead and gave the crew access to stand-ins for all the established trek technologies. They tried to make the Enterprise itself feel more like a contemporary submarine with its confined spaces, but it never really felt different. There was "hull polarization" instead of shields, and "phase cannons" instead of phasers. Different names, but same basic concepts that were used in exactly the same manner. The crew didn't start the show using more contemporary-seeming projectile weapons - not even a futuristic projectile weapon like a rail gun - before transitioning to purely energy-based weapons. The Enterprise didn't have to be equipped with any kind of futuristic chaffe in order to misdirect hostile targeting scanners, nor did it use point-defense to destroy incoming missiles.
The only pieces of tech that the show really held off on (and were relevant to narrative) were the universal translator and transporters. The translator was rarely an issue since Hoshi was practically a Babel Fish. The transporter was there, but it was not trusted to reliably transport living things - even though it had been verified as safe by the beginning of the first episode and was successfully used in that episode. So for most of the show's run, the crew used shuttle craft for away missions, but the transporter was always there just waiting to act as a deus ex machina to get the crew out of a sticky situation (which, of course, happened on multiple occasions - including the premiere).
The fact that these technologies were already in place made the show feel too similar to other Trek series, even though it desperately wanted to feel distinct. But it also prevented the writers from exploring some of the more interesting issues inherent to the development of these technologies...

There's a bit in X-Men: Apocalypse in which Cyclops, Jean Grey, Nightcrawler, and Jubilee are walking out of a theater after seeing Return of the Jedi. Cyclops and Jubilee are arguing about whether Empire was better than Star Wars, and Jean remarks that "we can all agree that the third one is always the worst". This, of course is a jab at X-Men 3: the Last Stand, which I'm sure we can all agree is still the worst of the X-Men movies. It's also the first one that Bryan Singer didn't direct. But what might - or might not - be lost on Singer and his writers is the little bit of irony that Apocalypse is also the third movie in a series: the prequel series that started with X-Men: First Class.
X-2 and Days of Future Past remain the standout excellent films in this particular franchise. I don't think that Apocalypse ever degrades quite to the train wreck that was The Last Stand - not even close. But it does fall victim to some of the same traps that The Last Stand fell into: namely that it perhaps tried to fit too many stories into one, and doesn't tell any one of them particularly well. Much like The Last Stand, this one even starts to fall on its face when it goes into "Dark Pheonix" territory. Thankfully, they avoided turning that into a major plot thread though...
Perhaps the clumsiest storyline here was the Four Horsemen themselves. As per the comics, Apocalypse must recruit four powerful mutants, amplify their powers, and then use them as his own personal bodyguards. Other than Magneto, these characters' introductions and development all had to be rushed through. It seems a bit ironic that in these movies, it always seems to be the characters that we're most familiar with who get the most set-up and exposition; while the new characters receive little-or-no explanation or development. I never really bought into these horsemen though, or why they would be willing to help this obvious villain. I get that he tricked some of them with promises that he would "save humanity from itself", and he earned some loyalty with others by healing them and making them stronger, and that he used Magneto's grief and anger to his advantage, but the moment his plans started shifting away from "destroying corrupt systems and governments" towards outright "destroy the world", I just couldn't believe that none of the others batted an eye! Was there some kind of mind control going on as well? But he doesn't have mind control powers; that's why he wants Professor X.
Maybe if the movie could have established that Apocalypse had somehow brainwashed them, then I'd be more willing to accept it...

Why is this a "Captain America" movie? Why couldn't Marvel just call this "Avengers: Civil War" or "Marvel: Civil War"? This movie is just as much about Tony Stark as it is about Captain America, and the entire ensemble (minus a Hulk and plus a Spider-Man and Black Panther) is present.
Speaking of Spider-Man, let's get this out of the way right from the start. His presence felt like completely contrived fan service and the tonal shift that he brings kind of hurts the movie. He's pulled out of nowhere for no good reason so that he can participate in the big, fun battle royale; and then he's sent home when it's over and has absolutely no relevance to the movie's plot or themes. Tony Stark has no idea that Cap has recruited Ant Man, and I'm not even sure if he was aware that Hawkeye had broken Scarlet Witch out of the compound yet. Shouldn't Iron Man, War Machine, Black Widow, Black Panther, and Vision have been enough to take down Captain America, Falcon, and Bucky? Did he really think he needed to recruit an innocent, un-involved person and put him at risk?
That being said, this is the best combination of Spider-Man and Peter Parker that has been presented in live-action film to date. I do miss the New York accent of Andrew Garfield and the picture-perfect spider-suit from Amazing Spider-Man 2 (though I like the colors in Civil War better), and I think that the Sam Raimi films had the best supporting cast (outside of McGuire, Dunst, and Franco), but virtually everything about Civil War's Spider-Man was great.
So how does the rest of the movie do?
It kind of reminds me of Serenity (the film follow-up to the series Firefly). Both the Firefly series and the preceeding Marvel films have all been very light-hearted, fun, and energetic. They've been full of charismatic, witty characters, genuine emotion, and exciting action. But Serenity and Civil War are much more brooding. The characters don't really get along, they all seem tired, there's less wit, and much of their charisma is lost. Even characters that we may have loved before now seem somewhat dull and might not be very fun to watch.
The action is still great, the characters are still fine, and there's still some humor and wit in the dialogue. But it feels like the soul that Marvel has built up for its universe has been sucked out. The darker themes of the plot aren't even necessarily the problem here. After all, I loved Winter Soldier (and really regret that I never wrote a review of it), and that movie had a darker edge to it. But it also deviated from the established formula and showed creativity and cleverness that the other Marvel movies didn't have. It felt more like a James Bond or Jason Bourne spy-thriller than the typical Marvel comic book movie, and that was great! Similarly, Ant Man (which I also regret not reviewing) felt more like a criminal heist movie, which was also great! Both felt unique enough that they transcended the tropes and McGuffins that they relied upon.
Civil War, on the other hand, falls back on many of the formulaic tropes that the Marvel films were based on. It's another revenge and McGuffin plot. The McGuffin just happens to be a person this time around, and the entire second half of the movie could have been avoided if the characters would have just let each other talk. It's this formulaic model that conflicts with the dour tone and actually leads to large chunks of the movie actually feeling boring. And much like Age of Ultron before it, this movie feels a bit too bloated for its own good. I'd much rather have seen more screen time and development for Black Panther, and no Spider-Man at all...

Earlier this year, it was announced that CBS will be creating a new Star Trek television series to celebrate the franchise's 50-year anniversary. Very little was known about the series except that it would be under the leadership of Bryan Fuller (a former Deep Space Nine staff writer), and that it would premiere on CBS's All-Access streaming service. As one of Fuller's first actions, he made a lot of Trek fans very excited by hiring Wrath of Khan and Undiscovered Country director Nicholas Meyer to be the chief writer of the new series. These happen to be my two favorite Star Trek movies (with Undiscovered Country getting better each time I see it).
But the biggest questions were when would the series take place, and what would it be about. Many of the previous pitches for show ideas that I had read sounded terrible. Many sounded like really cheap fan-fiction concepts. Like the idea of a series about James Kirk's descendant becoming captain of a new Enterprise to save the Federation from an extra-galactic alien threat.
I avoided talking about the topic previously because I wanted to reserve judgement until something more concrete about the show was announced. Well now, something has, and it has me very excited. According to rumors, Fuller and Meyers are producing a seasonal anthology series similar to the popular American Horror Story. This means that each season would contain its own self-contained, independent storyline that could explore any time period, characters, locations, or concepts from the entire series' canon. I've been saying for years that Star Trek would be a great fit for an anthology series. The canon is large and expansive enough that focusing it on a singular time, place, and characters feels very restraining and limits the types of stories that can be told.
Of course, when I started pitching that idea to friends and anyone who would listen (don't know why I never blogged about it...), I hadn't conceived of a seasonal anthology. I was thinking more along the lines of a true anthology similar to The Twilight Zone or The Outer Limits. The problem that I was fully willing to point out was the difficulty in establishing compelling characters and relationships within the span of a single hour-long episode. I had, at the time, proposed to resolve this by occasionally re-visiting specific characters and events from specific episodes in order to further flesh out their plots. I had even suggested having a few independent story threads going simultaneously each season, and then maybe tying them together through a uniting theme, plot element, or some other relation. A seasonal anthology is an elegant and easy solution, and American Horror Story has been a fantastic model.
In addition, the first season is rumored to take place after the events of the The Undiscovered Country (during the gap between the original series movies and The Next Generation). There's a lot of material in that time period that is rife for exploration. The changing dynamics between the Federation and the Klingons could make for some good stories. First contact with the Cardassians occurs sometime during this period. And the end of hostilities with the Klingons meant that Starfleet finally had an opportunity to de-militarize and go back to performing the peaceful exploration that it was founded to do.
But that's not the end of it. The anthology nature of the series means that it won't be constrained to that time period. The following seasons could go anywhere. Subsequent seasons could take place entirely on alien worlds; could show us the formation of the Borg collective; could [finally] explore the Earth-Romulan wars that Enterprise teased but never actually got to; or it could go into the distant future of the series and show us the death of the Federation. Even more, there's nothing to say that an entire season couldn't take place within the mirror universe (like Enterprise's episode "In a Mirror, Darkly", but extended out to a full season); or, a season could even hypothetically take place in the new continuity created by J.J. Abrams.
This new anthology series is one that truly could boldly go where no series has gone before, and it can boldly go anywhere!

I don't care much for DC characters. I'm not going to be able to love or hate this movie as much as some fanboys because I simply don't have as much investment into this universe and characters. I like Batman just fine, I hate Superman, and I'm ambivalent about most of the rest of the characters. Making Superman invincible just sucks any drama away from any conflict that he engages in. The only way to get around that is for Superman to be a complete idiot and to manage to fall for Kryptonite traps every time; otherwise, there's no story. Good writers can find ways to put Superman in situations in which he has to make split-second decisions, and that can create drama for any characters whose fate hinges on Superman's decisions. But there's only so many ways to do that before it starts to feel contrived, assuming that it ever didn't feel contrived to begin with.
So I didn't care much for Man of Steel, and my expectations for Dawn of Justice was pretty low. The only thing that I thought might give this movie any chance in hell was that the trailers made it seem like the movie might actually tackle the destruction-porn criticisms of Man of Steel by framing Superman as a villainous, city-destroying monster. The success or failure of the movie would be contingent on whether or not audiences can buy into the idea of Superman being more dangerous than he's worth.
To the film's credit, this is exactly how it starts. The first half of this movie dives right into the issue of super hero collateral damage, and Superman is criticized for his unilateral, un-supervised actions that put the citizens of Metropolis (and the world) in direct danger. The movie asks questions of whether or not Superman has the right to take actions without the consent or oversight of the people, regardless of whether his intents are noble. There's some superficial allegorical commentary about the threats posed by unilateral action by authorities (whether it's Superman taking the action, or a government). I was really enjoying the movie, especially the early scenes that played around with viewing the heroes actions through different perspectives. This stuff was thoughtfull and heady! We see Superman's actions through the perspective of a thoroughly immasculated Bruce Wayne. We see Batman's vigilante justice through the eyes of skeptical police. And we see both from the perspective of the civilians they are purporting to defend, and even from the media. I was really liking all this...
... And then Lex Luthor blows up the Capitol building, and a lot of the good will that the movie had been earning kind of goes down the toilet. All those themes about acting without the consent of the people, and all those perspective shifts, just go out the window to make room for a battle royale. Literally the entire second half of the movie is one extended action scene with virtually no weight or substance. Other than Batman moving the conflict towards a section of Gotham harbor that is supposedly abandoned, all the political and ideological substance that the movie had seemingly been about in the first half is completely ignored and completely unresolved. I guess we'll just have to wait until Captain America: Civil War to tell us this same story, with these same themes, in a more compelling and enjoyable way.
Dawn of Justice gets criticism for supposedly having weak motivations for its characters. I don't think this is true. I get why Bruce Wayne is so fearful of Superman. It's a bit obsessive, but it makes sense based on the history of the character in this film. After all that Batman has seen and been through, after all the villains that he's fought and all the criminals he's put down, here comes an unstoppable alien who could turn on humanity at any moment. I get it. I didn't buy into Clark Kent's dislike of Batman; although, neither did the movie's writers, since Luthor basically has to pull the whole "kidnap the hero's loved one(s)" cliche in order to threaten Superman into wanting to fight Batman. And just as much as the two's resentment towards each other felt forced, the way in which their fight "resolves" itself is similarly forced and silly.
There's also a lot of little, character-informing details that audiences might miss because they're not very well presented by the film. The best example is probably a costume that is briefly shown in the Batcave that is covered with graffiti that reads "Hahaha Joke's on you Batman!" ...

What's the word with this "Unified Estate and Tax Gift Credit"?
Is it for the first $5,120,000? 1,000,000?
What's the word with this "Unified Estate and Tax Gift Credit"?
Is it for the first $5,120,000? 1,000,000?
The exemption amount for estates is about 5,120,000 (in terms of the actual value of the taxable estate). At a 35% rate, this translates to about a 1,792,000 credit of any tax due--that is what those two numbers refer to.
Just took practice exam #1. Ughhhh absolutely brutal.
Testlet 1: 75%
Testlet 2: 83%
Testlet 3: 83%
2: 40
3: 60
Research: 0 Of the six practice Becker research questions I've done thus far this month. I got MAYBE one on the first try. I don't know what the hell is wrong with me at this point; I can't find anything in the research tab for crap. This is really starting to get to me.
weird...just went over my exam and it looks like I didn't get the research wrong...
Strange that it didn't register. Regardless, I still have a lot of work to do with the research tab. I wasted way too much time on that one.
115/217 of Individual Tax wiley book questions done so far today. Wahhh... F, S, S are the last 3 chapters and Monday is review of everything. Yuck.
Meatball - I get super anxious when it comes to my research question too cus it seems easy enough, but I'm not sure how to study for it, it doesn't seem easy to, just something you either find or don't find I guess :/
Sitting for FAR on February 4th, got to love this exam!!
Why does REG crew have to be so inactive in comparison to the other three? :/
I don't post a ton but have also noticed this. I just assumed not many people were taking REG right now.
I am going to finish the lecture videos by this weekend which leaves 2 weeks for wiley book MCQs, and 2 weeks for review before my test. At the moment I feel very unprepared for the BLaw sections. This is going to be my weakness seeing as I have 4 yrs tax experience. I have no idea how to study the BLaw stuff other than reading the notes/book over and over. I do plan on using the NINJA notes to review with. Any other ideas? I briefly considered the NINJA audio but my commute is pretty short and I try to use that time to mentally prepare on the way to work, and decompress on the way home. I want to pass this last section so bad though!
@ mypetmeatball
Looking @ your results for exam #1...I have to say...keep up the good work. I know it's difficult to say if you pass or not based on those results due to the weird way of the grading structure, but you are right there. Based on my results from the FAR test and the "real" test, I would like to say, you are good to go. Just in case you want to do even better, get those flashcards a chance to get even more in your mind and keep working on more MCQs so that you don't have to think and search for the concepts in your mind, but they are just there for you.
@samdiegoCPA & @ mypetmeatball
Just noticed you guys are going to take the exam the same day. Any feedback we can receive from you (within the legal boundaries) would be highly appreciated.
Wow, thanks. I feel a lot better now.
I will definitely say anything I can when I'm done with the exam
I don't understand the answer to the following question and would really appreciate some clarification:
Axis Corp. is an accrual basis calendar year corporation.
On December 13, 2012, the Board of Directors declared a two percent of profits bonus to all employees for services rendered during 2012 and notified them in writing. None of the employees own stock in Axis.
The amount represents reasonable compensation for services rendered and was paid on March 13, 2013. Axis' bonus expense may
A. Not be deducted on Axis' 2012 tax return because the per share employee amount cannot be determined with reasonable accuracy at the time of the declaration of the bonus.
B. Be deducted on Axis' 2012 tax return.
C. Be deducted on Axis' 2013 tax return.
D. Not be deducted on Axis' tax return because payment is a disguised dividend.
The correct answer is : B. Be deducted on Axis' 2012 tax return.
And the reason why is:
While cash based taxpayers deduct deferred compensation in the tax year that the compensation is actually paid to employees, accrual basis taxpayers deduct deferred compensation in the tax year that the liability to pay the compensation becomes fixed. The liability to pay the deferred compensation becomes fixed when:
1) all events have occurred to establish the liability to pay the compensation;
2) economic performance has occurred with respect to the liability; and
3) the amount can be determined with reasonable accuracy. In addition, accrual based taxpayers must pay the deferred compensation within the first 2 1/2 months of a tax year to deduct the compensation in the preceding year.
This response correctly indicates that Axis' bonus expense would be deducted on the corporation's 2012. All the events occurred to establish the liability for the bonuses when the corporation declared the dividends and notified the employees. The bonuses are for services rendered in 2012, indicating that economic performance has occurred with respect to the liability, and the amount of the bonuses can be determined with reasonable accuracy. Paying the dividends on March 13, 2013 is within the first 2 1/2 months of the close of Axis' 2012 tax year. Hence, the liability to pay the dividends became fixed in 2012 and they were paid within the first 2 1/2 months of the 2013 tax year.
I think the answer should be that it can be deducted on the 2013 tax return. I don't understand how March 13,2013 is within 2 1/2 months of the end of the 2012 tax year. I think that the cutoff for the 2 1/2 months would be February 15, 2013 and March is clearly after that.
Can anyone help explain this?
January - 1 month
February - 1 month
March 15 - 1/2 month
add it all together and you get 2 & 1/2 months, therefore March 13 is before the 2 & 1/2 month point so it can be deducted in 2012.
Hope this clarifies.
I don't like to remember those types of things as "two and a half months" and likewise. It does make it somewhat confusing.
I'd rather just remember it as "as long as they pay it by the filing deadline"
Thanks. I don't know why that wasn't clicking but I like the idea of just thinking of it as the filing deadline.
Hey everybody. I'm taking REG on Monday for the second time. It is my final test to be through with this headache. How's everybody doing?
I'm getting super anxious about all the little details floating around in my head. Everytime I pause and I ask myself "what do I know for sure?", I feel like I'm in a storm of information...
Positive vibes for all of you guys!
Working on redoing R8 homework right now. I'm doing well on it but I have a long way to go. I'm starting to think that this is a complete mismanagement of my time and I should ditch the need to rework every Becker program and start hammering important stuff that I don't feel great on.
Edit: I also regret not doing a good job marking every question I wanted to understand more about later. Lesson learned big time.
So a few of my friends tried to convive me to give up on trying to get finish this CPA challenge. I have not given and today did Reg for # 4 times. Can you imagine ? they think I am nuts !!
FAR ( Feb 13 )
Don't give up. However, if my FAR expires before I pass REG... I might give up. haha
Might have been a huge mistake - but I took all day today off to clear my head. I put in between 5-9 hours each day Mon-Fri so hopefully this day off helped repair my brain. Waking up tomorrow and Monday at 7am for 10 hour days :/ I received some Adderall from a friend so going to try those out.
Alrighty. One more question that's eating away at my soul. This one is from Final Exam #1
Skipper Family trust, a simple trust, blah blah find DNI
Ordinary income from rental properties (gross) 5000
Taxable Dividend Income 1500
Interest income from corp bonds 1000
Interest income from tax exempt.. 500
Rental expenses 2500
Trust fees allocable to income 1000
Trustee fees allocable to corpus 500
Calculation for the correct answer is as follows
Equals 4000
plus 500 nontaxable income
minus 500 trustee fees to corpus
Final answer: 4000
My question is...why are the trustee fees allocable to corpus included in that computation? Shouldn't anything involved with corpus not be considered in trust? Is it only income corpus items not included? Is this a special case because it's a trustee fee? I have no idea why that counts as a deduction.
Also interested in that answer cus I thought corpus items weren't included in DNI as well. I'll do a google search in a bit if no one replies.
meatball - what time is your exam and what's your timezone?
Mine's at 1pm PST - but last time I went 45 min early and they let me start then.
11:30 eastern, I'll probably get there early as well. I'll be done by the time you start :o
I know this thread has turned into mypetmeatball.livejournal.com but I just completed the second Becker final exam.
Testlet 1: 75
Testlet 2: 87
Testlet 3: 67
Basis 0
Partnership Distribution 92
K-1 S Corp 100
Form 1040 Line Items 60
Research 0 (should be 100, again)
First thing's first, what the hell is going on with this Becker research?!?! This is the second time I put in the correct section and subsection and did not get credit. Should I be worried?
Secondly, this was pretty damn hard. The part that is KILLING me is the basis simulation. It was, by far, the easiest simulation. When I was adding liabilities to the basis of the separate partners, I f'ing forgot to take into account their ownership percentage. That's the kind of thing that really really worries me, I get so damn lazy towards the end of the exam. That's a heinous error that could end up being the difference between passing and failing..I better not do something like that on the exam.
My brain hurts. I need to take an hour off and breathe some fresh air. Then I'll review my exam to see what other terrible mistakes I made and then get the 24 hour Wiley trial.
Does anyone know if there is a way to increase the play-back speed on the becker review lectures? Had the bright idea on Saturday of "winging-it" on REG and signed up to take the test on Friday (1/18/13) -- just started studying this weekend. With a shortened time-frame and the fact that I have work all week, it would be nice to make Tim Geraghty speed up a little...can't seem to find any settings available on the software though.
Also -- any tips for areas to focus on??
I am not quite there yet, but did anyone have the same problem as 'mypetmeatball' regarding the research question? Any insight on helping 'mypetmeatball' as to what's going on?
@ mypetmeatball
Did you contact Becker on this issue? It would be interesting to hear what they have to say. I had an issue with the software for FAR as I was not able to delete an entry once I added the account in there. I was freaking out as I was thinking...'what if I want to change the account as I discover it's not correct?' I checked with them and it was a software issue. Sure enough...at the exam I was able to delete and add different accounts according to my desire...So...at this point, if you know you had the correct answer, go forward with courage!!!
Is there a way to grade the Becker sims within each chapter? I found the solution and checked myself, but I see some people listing % on here.
I think the % come from doing the final exam practice.
I downloaded the Wiley test bank for REG and do not think the wording of the questions matches the actual test very well. I took the exam back in November and the questions were much closer to the wording in Becker.
The Wiley questions are definetly good but not if you're still learning the material. The shortcut to passing is probably memorzing Becker questions.
I think the Wiley book is very closely worded to the questions on the exam. The Wiley test bank wording is different- I agree!
I've been studying with the book now even though the Test Bank is easier to (in bed, or on the couch watching tv, etc) I still do all the questions though on the test bank.
There are a lot of things in the Wiley test bank that Becker never covered and it's really bugging me out
i just started studying for REG taking it FEB 26. enough time?
Definitely - I began studying Dec 3 or so (was going to take it Jan 5, but moved it to the 15th) and with the holidays, I wasn't studying everyday until Jan 2. I think you will be fine!
how did you do on FAR? There's just so much information. UGH. Any suggestions on how to study for REG? Thanks!
Didn't pass, was close. I wasn't taking it seriously and thought I could get away with going out and keeping my same life - NOPE!
REG, I am using Roger and he has pre-made study schedules, so I made an Excel spreadsheet and went off his and made my own schedule. I typed up notes in Word as I watched the videos (FAR I highlighted the entire book basically, not useful) I also did a bunch of probs on Wiley test bank, but not for all chapters. Started major studying last Monday doing one section at a time fully (there are 6 for Roger), doing all MCQs in Wiley book as well. I'll finish tomorrow with Corporate/Partnership Tax and continue doing as many testbank MCQ as possible.
Sorry if this is a bit jumbled, had a 15 hour day today :X
I'm doing Becker. I just started and it's alright. Do you suggest getting Wiley test bank? Where can I get them? SO MUCH INFO ugh.
I just returned from taking REG. Every topic was equally covered. It's scary how much material you have to know. I wished I had spent more time evenly studying between Tax and BLaw.
I reccomend studying using the MCQ from Becker. The Becker style of questions was very similar to the test. Good luck!
@m1 - yeah, I recommend it. It's nice for when you're just hanging around watching tv/in bed and can practice with instant, easy feedback instead of a huge book and turning pages.
@apple kinda good to hear - I studied biz law/tax equally it seems and was regretting spend so much time on biz law til now. Now I am losing my mind - are the Becker questions from the Wiley book or do they have their own?
I feel so unprepared...it's PANIC TIMME
Wiley totally destroyed my confidence...screw you Wiley sims
@samdieog - I don't know what the questions look like in the Wiley book. I only tried the Wiley online test bank. The online test bank was way different and a lot harder. If you were a master of the material, Wiley would probably be the icing on the cake. But if you just want to pass, it's probably overkill.
