English teachers arrested over McDonald's statue |
The China Post news staff Saturday, August 23, 2014, 12:01 am TWN |
TAIPEI, Taiwan -- Two foreigners were arrested by police last Saturday for allegedly stealing a Ronald McDonald statue at a mall in southeastern Pingtung city, local media reported yesterday.
According to local media reports, witnesses called Pingtung City police on Aug. 16 after they saw two foreigners, apparently drunk, carrying the statue. Video footage of the mall's CCTV shows the two suspects of removing the statue that was originally standing outside the fast food chain store at the mall. They even posted photographs with the statue before they took it away and put it in front of Pingtung stadium, reports said. Police later arrested two foreign suspects that were allegedly involved in the case. The two foreigners identified themselves as English teachers in the city and told police that they abducted the statue because they are anti-fast food activists. They are now facing theft charges.
8 Comments August 23, 2014 sanertu1@ McDonald's Taiwan should sue them and extract every penny they earned in Taiwan. August 25, 2014 curtisakbar@ Did they actually steal the statue? What is considered theft? The statue remains outside 24/7, the two just moved it to another location. This is typical behaviour of a minority of people in Anglophone countries and is more common amongst student-aged (early twenties) males.No big deal, just give them a slap on the wrist and make them do some community service such as cleaning the mall. It is such a shame community service isn't a viable punishment in Taiwan; either go to jail or pay a fine... very rare cases death. August 26, 2014 happyguy72@ They are dumb... they should simply state they were drunk and put it back.I think McDonald's wont press charges just pay for anything broken.. But if you claim yourself to anti-food activist...McDonald's can and will press charges.. Dumb people funny but dumb.... i stole Bob's Big boy in high school..hahaha August 27, 2014 troyotsig@ sanertu1@ wrote: You're crazy and/or you really love ronald mcdonaldMcDonald's Taiwan should sue them and extract every penny they earned in Taiwan. September 2, 2014 flintstone46@ Frat-boys...something Taiwan police don't know anything about and don't know how to respond. Overnight in a cell, 12 minutes in court, scare the crap outa them, and make them put it back. Instead the cops and legal system will spend thousands to treat it like a serious adult crime. September 4, 2014 wwlee5@ So these English-teaching fools want to advocate slow-food? September 10, 2014 detrchien@ To the person defending the duo, "the statue remains outside......typical behavior..." I guess we can just take anything you leave outside of your house? September 15, 2014 jimedstein@ It is not worth to mention that they were foreigners I think. |

Private Foundations
Private foundations make grants based on charitable endowments. The endowment funds come from one or a small handful of sources -- an individual, a family or a corporation. Because of their endowments, they are focused primarily on grantmaking and generally do not raise funds or seek public financial support the way public charities (like community foundations) must.
"Private foundation" is the umbrella term that includes corporate, independent, family, and operating foundations. As of 2011, there were 73,764 private foundations in the United States (Foundation Center, 2011).
In 2011, private foundations held more than $604 billion in assets and gave away more than $45 billion (Foundation Center, 2011).
Below is everything on our site for private foundations. You can use the filtering options on the right to narrow these results.

The Council on Foundations wrote to the Department of Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) this week to urge them to prioritize several regulations and guidance documents that impact our members. Each year, the Priority Guidance Plan identifies and prioritizes those tax issues that the agencies should address through regulations or revenue rulings, procedures, notices, and guidance throughout the upcoming year.
The Council on Foundations is excited to launch Seasons of Giving, a quarterly newsletter with valuable insights to help you advance your work and increase your impact.
This newsletter will provide background on some of the major events and trends in the field and highlight resources available to help you carry out your mission.
Today, over 30 philanthropic organizations and corporations announced pledges totaling more than $170 million over the next five years to support veterans and military families. The Philanthropy-Joining Forces Impact Pledge was announced today by Joining Forces and a coalition of leading foundations at an event hosted by the American Red Cross, Council on Foundations, and the White Oak Summit Steering Committee.
Council on Foundations President and CEO Vikki Spruill will join First Lady Michelle Obama, Dr. Jill Biden, and grantmakers from around the country tomorrow for the announcement of the Philanthropy-Joining Forces Impact Pledge. Made by over 30 funders, this pledge aims to bring support to service members, veterans, and military family causes over five years.

Scott Siepker says the only thing No. 2 about Ohio State is the smell of Columbus.
John U. Bacon: Michigan's athletic budget, which stands at $137 million and is without faculty control, has nearly doubled in eight years. It now costs $6,000 for a one-hour wedding reception on the 50-yard line of Michigan Stadium and school kids are charged for tours that used to be free. Where does the money go? Staff salaries have grown from $34 million to $49 million, including a 62% increase in administrator compensation.
Case Keefer, Las Vegas Sun: Las Vegas Hilton Superbook Executive Jay Kornegay said he wasn't completely comfortable making Florida State a 7-point favorite in the Bowl Championship Series title game, but many offshore books posted a line as high as -10, forcing Hilton to push up its number. "I think it should certainly be less than a touchdown. I think the underdog has the advantage right now," he said.
Jon Solomon, AL.com: Birmingham's love affair with college football continues. The city was ESPN's most-viewed market for the 13th consecutive season. Greenville was second, followed by Knoxville, New Orleans, Nashville, Memphis and Columbus. And an audit by the NCAA shows that every Division I-A conference received more money from 2012-13 bowl payouts than their schools paid on bowl expenses.
Pete Thamel, SI.com: The story behind the story at Texas. There's an ongoing feud between Governor Rick Perry and Texas President Bill Powers, and Perry has loaded Texas' board of regents with his cronies. Powers could be out as early as Thursday, meaning the replacement for Mack Brown could walk into a job and not know who is boss is.
Do-Hyoung Park, Stanford Daily: Stanford has already sold out its allotment of tickets to the Rose Bowl. Suspicions are that Michigan State fans may have played a part in the quick sale.
Todd D. Milewski, Capital Times: An average of 13,420 tickets went unused for Wisconsin's seven home games, the highest number of no-shows since 2008. That's 17% of the announced attendance, up from 14.5% in 2012.

Wiz correspondent made the trek to Indianapolis on Saturday for the Big Ten title game between Ohio State and Michigan State. By now you know the story. Things didn't go as planned for Ohio State. The Buckeyes lost their first game under Urban Meyer, 34-24, and with it their hopes of playing in the Bowl Championship Series title game. Sparty, meanwhile, is headed to Pasadena, the team's first appearance in the Rose Bowl since 1988. The developments set off a wild celebration in East Lansing.
The scene in Indianapolis featured some of the most unique headgear Greg has encountered this season. Check out the images after the jump.

Zoo Offers Cockroach as Valentine's Day Gift for Your Ex
With Valentine's Day just around the corner, you might be among those brokenhearted people who want to send the best gift to their ex. Well, let the San Francisco Zoo help you. And yes, the zoo is offering an Adopt-A-Cockroach program for this year's hearts season. You can also adopt a hairy scorpion instead.
"Nothing says 'I've moved on' like adopting a giant cuddly cockroach in the name of your favorite ex. This Valentine's Day, if you care enough to send the very best, you'll choose our charming Madagascar Hissing Cockroach package." A statement reads at the cockroach adoption page of San Francisco Zoo.
"With a little luck, this generous donation will release your bad love life karma so that you never have to encounter a cockroach again." The zoo added, with the site having a online form on how people can donate so they can get even with their favorite ex.
According to the zoo, the Madagascar hissing cockroach is believed to be the only insect in the world that can hiss. This unique insect is also considered as great climbers and can even crawl in smooth glass. A matured hissing cockroach can measure 2-4 inches long, one of the largest species of cockroach.
Adopting a cockroach from San Francisco Zoo costs at least $25 per piece. The zoo said the funds will be used to support their mission in connecting the people to the wildlife, and to preserve nature. Other animals that people can adopt include a giant hairy scorpion, leopard, tiger, and many more.
But sad to say, no real cockroach or any live animal will be delivered to your ex. Instead, he or she will receive an official certificate of adoption from the zoo, along with a special Valentine's-themed gift box which contains plastic cockroaches or any of the animals that the sender will adopt.

THE WORLD HAS BEEN INVADED BY ALIENS! It's up to a nerdy, lazy high school kid to save it!
3.82 / 5.00 6,461 ViewsFriendly Fire: Blood and Gore
This game is all about weapon upgrades and killing cute animals.
Destroy cuddly creatures with 21 different weapons, all while
you are wearing a very stylish hat and a nice moustache.
The game contains 6 levels and 28 creatures to kill.
As a bonus you're also wearing a monocle.
Aim and fire with the mouse.
Move - A and D or LEFT and RIGHT arrow.
Jump - W or UP arrow.
Pause - Space.
Edit: Daily second and a frontpage, we love you too Newgrounds. :)
This game ruled and i loved how each time u replayed u can get different wepons to shoot those furry evil stuffed animals. THIS GAME IS AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not A Bad Game
Killing cute and cuddly animals, what could be more fun. It would be nice for one to have the option on shooting. It just seems awkward shooting with a mouse, if you gave us the option to shoot with the Space key that would make more sense. Also when you shoot an enemy it doesn't stop moving or really show much pain, plus some enemies have spawned right on top of me before. It's not a bad game or a bad concept, but it just needs tweaking. You did present this game beautifully with the artwork and animation. The sound effects were cute and funny as well as your music choice. The controls like I said would've been nice if we had more of a decision. As for the gameplay, well it's interesting, but does tend to get boring after a while and when it comes to upgrades you went a bit overboard with that and didn't truly set it up to where it could be done with ease, sure it happens when you level up, but you could've made the upgrade menu a little bit more presentable as well as the other menus, with the bright colors it was just too hard to read. Overall a fun game, it just needs to be tweaked.
|| Good Points ||
*Superb Artwork
*Superb Animation
*Superb Sound
*Great Controls
*Superb Story
|| Bad Points ||
*Game Menus - Bright Colored Text = Hard To Read
*Enemy Spawns
I got glitched
It was a lot of fun, and the variety of gun upgrades was made well via tree path.
sadly, the game glitched on me and monsters stopped spawning and the level wouldn't let me progress.
I just kinda ran around shooting at nothing

If I should forget you Jerusalem...
Let my right hand wither...
All Souls day... and the day after the new martyrs of Baghdad.
"By the rivers of Babylon
there we sat and wept,
remembering Zion;
on the poplars that grew there
we hung up our harps.
O how could we sing
the song of the Lord
on alien soil?
If I forget you, Jerusalem,
let my right hand wither!" - Ps. 137
Three priests among those dead in Baghdad.

23 Basic rules for Driving in TexasAuthor unknown A right lane construction closure is just a game to see how many people can cut in line by passing you on the right as you sit in the left lane waiting for the jerks to squeeze their way back in before hitting the orange construction barrels. Turn signals are clues as to your next move. A real Texas driver never uses them. Under no circumstances should you leave a safe distance between you and the car in front of you or the space will be filled in by somebody else putting you in an even more dangerous situation. Crossing two or more lanes in a single lane change is considered "going with the flow". The faster you drive through a red light, the smaller the chance you have of getting hit. Never get in the way of an older car that needs extensive body work. Braking is to be done as hard and late as possible to insure that your ABS kick in giving a nice relaxing foot massage as the brake pedal pulsates. For those of you without ABS, it's a chance to stretch your legs. Construction signs tell you about road closures immediately after you pass the last exit before the traffic begins to back up. The new electronic traffic warning system signs are not there to provide useful information. They are only there to make Texas look high-tech and to distract you from seeing the police car parked in the median. Never pass on the left when you can pass on the right. It's a good way to scare people entering the highway. Speed limits are arbitrary figures, given only as suggestions and apparently not enforceable in the metro area during rush hour. Just because you're in the left lane and have no room to speed up or move over doesn't mean that a Texas driver flashing his high beams behind you doesn't think he can go faster in your spot. Please remember that there is no such thing as a shortcut during rush hour traffic in any major Texas city. Always slow down and rubberneck when you see an accident or even someone changing a tire. Throwing litter on the roads adds variety to the landscape, keeps the existing litter from getting lonely and gives Adopt-a-Highway crews something to clean up. Everybody thinks their vehicle is better than yours, especially pickup truck drivers with stickers of Calvin peeing on a Ford, Dodge or Chevy logo. Learn to swerve abruptly. Texas is the home of high-speed slalom driving thanks to the DOT, which puts potholes in key locations to test drivers reflexes and keeps them on their toes. It is traditional in Texas to honk your horn at cars that don't move the instant the light changes. Seeking eye contact with another driver revokes your right of way. Never take a green light at face value. Always look right and left before proceeding. Heavy snow, ice, fog, and rain are no reasons to change any of the previously listed rules. These weather conditions are Gods way of ensuring a natural selection process for body shops, junk yards and new vehicle sales. Remember that the goal of every Texas driver is to get there first, by whatever means necessary. Real Texas women drivers can put on pantyhose and apply eye makeup and talk on the cell phone at seventy-five miles per hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic. Real Texas men drivers can remove pantyhose and a bra at seventy five miles per hour in bumper-to-bumper traffic. |

Etihad's 2000th Flying Nanny has just graduated from the bespoke training program devised by Norland, the UK based higher education college specialising in 'early years' education.
The Etihad Airways Training Academy provides cabin crew with the skills to support families on long-haul flights and Etihad Flying Nannies combine their service and hospitality expertise with an appreciation of the childcare skills required to ensure outstanding service and inflight care for the airline's younger guests.
Flying Nannies were introduced by Etihad Airways in September 2013, and are on board to provide an extra pair of hands and to allow parents more personal time while they entertain the children.
In September 2016, the airline introduced a new Flying Nanny Kit as part of a new range of 'Etihad Explorers' children's activity packs, to keep its younger guests occupied while on board. The kit promotes greater interaction between nanny and child and contains an extensive range of fun items including Origami, games, pom-poms, flight certificates, tools for magic tricks and face-painting, and a 'Flying Nanny stamp of approval' which the nanny can use to reward children during their inflight activities.

Despite all the huge advances solar has made in recent years, the fact remains that the cells perform best when there's plenty of sunlight. That may no longer be necessary.
A new report from the National Resources Defense Council breaks down console power consumption across the new generation — and slams the Xbox One for its high usage in stand-by and while watching television.
Smart grids have been widely discussed for about a decade now, but most of the US is still years away from seeing a real smart grid. However, a successful large-scale rollout of a smart grid in Florida might just be what the rest of the country needs to get motivated. Installing and networking sensors all over the power grid is an expensive proposition, but the increased efficiency and reduced outages make it the obvious next step for modern infrastructure.
Today Philips announced that they have created the world's most efficient warm white LED lamp. The prototype operates at 200 lumens-per-watt, a number that is more than double what is found in typical household LED products.
These new 3D-printed cars can use less parts and lighter materials to offer the same functionality and safety with less complexity and energy required. With the Urbee 2, Kor Ecologic is making a small two-passenger vehicle with a 3D-printed exterior. It's highly efficient, light, and extremely safe in spite of being made of plastic.
A research team at Princeton has used nanotechnology to create a mesh that increases efficiency over traditional organic solar cells nearly three fold. We'll obviously still be using fossil fuels for decades to come, but this research and other breakthroughs like it are accelerating the rate at which we can move to alternate energy sources.
Data centers are still using a gigantic amount of power, so the European Union is funding a trend away from traditional electrical data connections. Headed by Fraunhofer, this project called PhoxTroT aims at reducing power consumption by using light-based data connections while taking the transfer speeds up to an amazing two terabits per second.
This week, a team of researchers at MIT hope to start our great global austerity measure, the elimination of the middle-men, and the rise of true, sustainable solar power.
Dutch hardware hacker, Emile Nijssen (nickname Mux), claims he has built the world's most efficient high-end desktop computer: An Intel Core i7-3570K PC that consumes just 5.9 watts when idling and 74.5 watts at full load. Your desktop PC, by comparison, draws 30 watts while idle and 150 watts at full load.
In short, everything in Windows 8 is hardware accelerated, and as a result its text, 2D, and 3D performance will blow Windows 7 away.
IBM and power companies in the Pacific Northwest have teamed up to create software to upgrade the grid in an effort to reduce energy consumption. The idea is sound, but the implementation has some considerable hurdles to overcome. Can it be done?

Wednesday, August 18, 2010 Largest Clock - world record set by The Royal Mecca Clock MECCA, (Makkah), Saudi Arabia -- The Royal Mecca Clock, a giant clock on a skyscraper in Islam's holiest city has four faces measuring 151 feet (43 meters) in diameter - setting the new world record for the Largest Clock. Photo: The Largest Clock in The World will tower over the holy Kabaa in Mecca, Saudi Arabia at a height of 1,972 ft. / AP photo (enlarge photo) Over 90 million pieces of colored glass mosaic embellish the sides of the World's Largest Clock, which has four faces each bearing a large inscription of the name "Allah". It is visible from all corners of the city, the state news agency said. Islam's holy month of Ramadan is a lot about the calendar and the clock. More than six times larger in diameter than London's famed Big Ben, the clock faces, with the Arabic words "In the Name of Allah" in huge lettering underneath and will be lit with two million LED lights. Some 21,000 white and green coloured lights, fitted at the top of the World's Largest Clock, will flash to as far as 30 kilometres (18.7 miles) to signal Islam's mandatory five-times daily prayers. On special Muslim occasions, 16 bands of vertical lights will shoot some 10 kilometres (6.2 miles) up into the sky. The Largest Clock in The World will run on Arabia Standard Time, which is three hours ahead of Greenwich Mean Time. Saudi Arabia hopes the clock will establish the holy city as an alternate time standard to the Greenwich median. The clock tower is the landmark feature of the seven-tower King Abdulaziz Endowment hotel complex, being built by the Saudi Binladin Group, which will have the largest floor area of any building in the world when it is complete. Local media have said the clock tower project cost $3 billion. Local media have said the clock tower project cost $3 billion. The World's Largest Clock will loom over Mecca's Grand Mosque from the top of what will be the world's second tallest building behind Dubai's Burj Khalifa. Saudi Arabia's state news agency says the tower, designed by German and Swiss engineers, will be more than 600 meters high, or roughly six times the height of London's famous Big Ben. The clock tower is part of the Abraj al-Bait hotel complex in Mecca. Visitors will be able to stand on a terrace beneath the clock to view the city. The project is part of efforts to modernize the holy city and make it more capable of catering to pilgrims. Around 2 million Muslims visit the city each year for the annual Haj pilgrimage, a once-in-a-lifetime requirement for able-bodied Muslims, and 3.5 million pilgrims visit Makkah at other times of the year.

How You Can Find A Great Roofing Contractor For Project Troubles
When it comes to finding a good roofing repair contractor, you can be sure that they are not just going to only fall in your lap. You will have to roll up your sleeves and work hard, but when you really know what you are searching for, you will find it easily. You need to have a clear idea of exactly what you want from your service provider so that you really know what to look for. Review our list of suggestions, and quickly list all that you will need for your project.
When it involves negotiating with a prospective roofing repair contractor, make your expectations obvious. Describe your project requirements and expectations, then ask the contractor to explain it in his own words to confirm his understanding. Set a timetable for your project and communicate it to your service provider in order to avoid falling behind schedule. A licensed contractor should begin by presenting a written contract, which should include a list of expectations, along with specific start and end dates.
When considering a roofing repair contractor, make certain to get no less than three quotes for the job. Accepting the lowest bid might not be the smartest move. A higher-priced contractor will generally provide you with higher-quality work. Make sure that your contractor can show you a comprehensive breakdown of costs.
The work should be completed to your absolute satisfaction before you release the final payment to your roofing repair contractor. Take a few days to look over all the work or perhaps hire a specialist to look it over. Ensure the service provider has completed the job efficiently and make the final payment only when you are fully satisfied. Make sure to document all transactions and attempt to give payments by check rather than in cash.
You can rely on a respectable roofing expert to hand over a fee in writing before work starts on your job. Call your roofing repair contractor if you require a quote right away, as most can give one over the phone. So concerning guarantee that your undertaking will be done exactly how you need it to be and as for your time and spending imperatives, make absolutely sure to check the temporary worker's capabilities and calendar. Before an agreement is reached with your contractor, be certain you have full answers to any questions that have popped up and that every issue has been addressed.
You can't expect to find the best roofing repair contractor for your project overnight. Family and friends can be very helpful through providing recommendations or referrals. Increase your professional network as often as possible, thereby increasing your chances of meeting reliable contractors. Of course, in order to find the best contractor for you, you are probably going to want to interview many different ones.

A beautifully ambient album of analogue synthesiser, microtonal saxophone and electronics by Argentinian saxophonist Sergio Merce, a single long track that pauses and resumes its rich tones and harmonies at a deliberate and measured pace, allowing each environment to ring.
"The cover is white with grey sans-serif text and on the inside sleeve, across from a dilated monochrome image of snow or possibly sand, are the lowercase words: "why are we frightened to be nothing?" Which would normally set me squirming, except that this is classic Wandelweiser - a select group of composers and performers whose aesthetic fixates on sparse, quiet, slow and subtly shaded sounds. The hour-long title track - the disc's only one - for analogue synthesiser, microtonal saxophone and electronics by Argentinian saxophonist Sergio Merce often dissolves into long stretches of silence or pauses for whole minutes to consider a single groggy drone. It goes further into ambient territory than most Wandelweiser releases - yoga studios may find good use for it - but it is something worth listening to. The overtones are whispered, but listen closely and they're incredibly lustrous; gentle palpitations in the bass keep nudging the momentum forwards, unhurried but always on the move."-Kate Molleson, The Guardian UK
• Show Bio for Sergio Merce
"Sergio Merce plays tenor saxophone and four tracks portastudio without tapes, he was born in 1973. He works in projects that involve the interaction between free improvisation and contemporary music. He studied classic saxophone for 9 years in the official conservatory of Moron "Alberto Ginastera", improvisation inside jazz style with Sergio Petravich and with Carlos Lastra, paying especial attention to John Coltrane's techniques and spirit. He works as a music teacher in kindergardens since 1998. He has realized concerts and improvisation work shops for children in Argentina and many countries in Europe. In rcent years he developed his work around extended techniques on the saxophone, and in the same way developed his electronic music. In May 2002 he made an European tour with Lucio Capece, playing as a duo as well as with European musicians in Brussels (Les Bains Connective), Amsterdam (Overtom 301, ciclo "Kraakgeluiden"), London (Red Rose), Berlin (The Kule "Labor Sonor"), Sczecin (Poland, "Musica Genera" Festival). In September 2003 he made a tour around Belgium, France and Holland, playing five concerts based on the famous Cornelius Cardews piece "Treatise", next to the prestigious English guitar player Keith Rowe and his electro-acoustic ensemble. He had played next to some of the more important musicians of the international vanguard scene: Axel Dörner (Germany), Andrea Neumann (Germany), Burkhard Beins (Germany), Julia Eckhardt (Germany / Belgium), Alex Waterman (USA), Robyn Schulkowsky (USA), Bob Rainey (USA), Wade Matthews (USA), Boris Baltschun (Germany), Serge Baghdassarians (Germany), Kyle Bruckmann (USA), Robin Hayward (England)."

tidlund Review
I bought two of these to go under inexpensive rugs on top of hard surfaces (one on tile and one on painted concrete). I found two colorful rugs on Overstock that work beautifully in my den and entry, but they were a bit thin. So, I got these pads. I like that they are reversible - rubber on one side prevents slipping and the cushy material on the other. I used a bit of double-stick carpet tape on each corner between the rug and the pad since they was a bit of slippage between the rug and the pad over the first couple weeks...cheap solution all around. Very pleased with the feel now.

Income tax
If you have received a Notice of Assessment, Notice of Reassessment, Notice of Determination, or Notice of Redetermination and you do not think that it is correct or you have additional information for CRA to consider, please review the following Questions to determine the best course of action for you to take.
Did you overlook an income item or expense when you filed your tax return? Do you have the additional information to submit to the CRA?
Generally you can ask for a change to a personal tax return (T1) for a tax year ending in any of the 10 previous calendar years. For example, a request made in 2016 must relate to the 2006 or a later tax year to be considered. You will find the steps to follow and processing timeframes here http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/changereturn/
You can also ask for a change to a corporate tax return (T2). You will find the steps to follow here http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/bsnss/tpcs/crprtns/ftr/rssssmnt/rqst-eng.html
The Voluntary Disclosures Program gives you a second chance to change a tax return you previously filed or to file a return that you should have filed. You can apply to the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to ask for relief of prosecution and penalties. http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/voluntarydisclosures/
Did you get an income tax assessment from CRA but you did not file your return? Do you have information for CRA to consider that may change the assessment?
You can still send your tax return to CRA. Information on how to send us your return can be found here http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/tx/ndvdls/tpcs/ncm-tx/rtrn/sndng/menu-eng.html.
Did you submit your receipts and records to CRA and you did not receive the outcome you expected or the issue was not resolved to your satisfaction? This means, that you provided the requested information to CRA and you received your Notice of Assessment, Notice of Reassessment, Notice of Determination, or Notice of Redetermination and you think we have misinterpreted the facts or applied the law incorrectly.
You may have the right to object and submit an objection. Information about filing an objection can be found below.
Please note that if you received a request to provide information during an audit or were otherwise contacted by CRA with a request to provide additional information and you did not respond to those requests and you chose instead to provide this information as part of an objection, your information may be referred back to the original area for a second review.
Can I file an income tax objection?
You or your authorized representative can file an income tax objection if you have received any of the following:
- Notice of Assessment;
- Notice of Reassessment;
- Notice of Determination; or
- Notice of Redetermination.
You cannot file an objection to dispute the following:
- a Statement of Account , or
- a proposal letter from an auditor.
You are required to clearly explain why you disagree with the assessment or determination and also include all of the relevant facts and reasons.
The time limits for filing an objection are as follows:
If you are an individual:
- the time limit for filing an objection is whichever of the following two dates is later:
- one year after the date of the filing deadline for the return (April 30 or June 15), or
- the day that is 90 days after the day of sending the notice of assessment (the date of the notice or notification).
If you are a business or for assessments of taxes in respect of over-contributions to a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) or tax-free savings account (TFSA):
- the time limit to file an objection within 90 days of the day we sent the notice of assessment or reassessment (the date of the notice or notification).
For information about RRSP excess contributions, go to www.cra.gc.ca/rrsp.
For information about TFSA excess contributions, go to www.cra.gc.ca/tfsa.
What if my objection is past the time limit?
If you did not file your objection on time because you attempted to have your change made by contacting the originating CRA office or because of circumstances beyond your control, you can apply for a time extension to file an objection. You can apply by writing to the Chief of Appeals at your Appeals Intake Centre (see Appendix B of pamphlet P148), or by using the My Account or My Business Account online services. You have to explain why you did not file your objection on time along with the facts and reasons of your objection.
The application for a time extension to file an objection must be made within one year after the expiration of the time limit to file an objection.
How do I file an income tax objection?
Here is what you provide when you file an income tax objection:
- clear details of the issue(s) you are disputing, for example, I received a reassessment and my expenses were reduced because my receipts were disallowed. I believe that my receipts qualify as proof of my expenses because (insert reasons), and
- any documentation to support your claim.
You will find the steps to follow to file an objection and processing timeframes below. It is important to always provide all relevant information to CRA to allow for a complete consideration of the issue, at the assessing, audit, and objection stages.
You or your authorized representative can file an objection in one of the following ways:
- online at My Account by selecting "Register my formal dispute";
- online at My Business Account by selecting "Register a formal dispute (Notice of Objection)" for "Corporations";
- online at Represent a Client; or
- by mail, using Form T400A, Objection – Income Tax Act, or in writing to the chief of appeals at your Appeals Intake Centre (see Appendix B of pamphlet P148).
In all cases, you should clearly explain why you disagree and include all relevant facts, reasons, and supporting documents.
You or your authorized representative can submit supporting documents online at My Account, My Business Account, or Represent a Client, by selecting the "Submit documents" service.
For more information on the Submit Documents online service, go to Submit documents online.
When will an appeals officer look at my objection?
Low complexity objections:
These objections often involve issues such as: individual tax credits, personal deductions, Canada Child Tax Benefit, and Disability Tax Credit.
Low complexity objections submitted in October 2016 are now being assigned to an appeals officer.
Medium complexity objections:
These objections often involve issues such as: business expenses and more complex T1 issues.
Medium complexity objections submitted in April 2016 are now being assigned to an appeals officer.
Scientific Research and Experimental Development (SR&ED) objections:
Due to the consultation with specialists often required to resolve these objections, we cannot provide a timeframe for the resolution of these objections.
High complexity objections:
These objections involve large corporations, complex business transactions, international transfer pricing, and General Anti-Avoidance Rule assessments. Due to the complex nature of the issues involved, at this time we cannot provide a timeframe for the resolution of these objections.
Tax avoidance schemes
We cannot provide a timeframe for the resolution of these objections. For more information on tax avoidance see http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/gncy/lrt/vvw-eng.html and http://www.cra-arc.gc.ca/gncy/cmpgns/crckngdwn-eng.html.
How long will my objection take?
The time it takes to complete the review of an objection varies.
Factors that influence the time it takes include:
- the complexity of the issue, and
- delays caused by not submitting all the facts, reasons and documentation.
There's a lot you can do to speed up the processing of your objection.
How can I have my objection resolved faster?
- ensure that all explanations and documentation are provided as early in the process as possible, and
- ensure that your concerns are fully explained and supported.
What causes delays during the objection review?
Your objection may take longer if:
- it is not clear what you are objecting to
- you do not provide the facts, reasons, and supporting documentation with your objection
- the appeals officers needs to consult other CRA tax specialists
- there is an appeal to the courts that may cause your objection to be held in abeyance, pending the outcome
You will be notified if more information is required or your objection is delayed.
What do I do if I don't agree with the decision made in regards to my objection?
Once you receive CRA's decision resulting from an objection, you can appeal your assessment or determination to the Tax Court of Canada, either under the Informal Procedure or the General Procedure. The time limit for filing an appeal is 90 days from the date on the notice. The Tax Court procedures are explained in publication P148, Resolving Your Dispute: Objections and Appeal Rights under the Income Tax Act. You can appeal the Tax Court's decision to the Federal Court of Appeal, and a judgment of the Federal Court of Appeal can be further challenged before the Supreme Court of Canada, with the Court's permission.
Time Extension – Notice of Appeal
You can apply for an extension to file your appeal by making an application to the Tax Court of Canada. Explain why you cannot or did not file your appeal on time.
Apply as soon as possible, but the application must be made within one year after the expiration of the time limit to file an appeal.
Amounts owing that are under a formal review
In most cases, you do not have to pay income tax amounts that are in dispute until the CRA has completed its formal review or, if you have filed an appeal, until the Tax Court of Canada issues its decision or you withdraw your appeal. In addition, if you file an objection and have previously paid an amount toward an assessment or reassessment, you may ask us to repay the amount you paid that is in dispute. If you are entitled to a repayment, we will first apply the amount to reduce or clear any other amounts you owe that are not in dispute. We will refund the remainder.
It is important to note that interest charges apply during any period that an amount in dispute is not paid/refunded.
Who do I contact if I have questions about the status of my objection and I have not yet been contacted by an appeals officer?
If you have not yet been contacted by an Appeals Officer, or do not have the officer's contact information, you may contact one of the Intake Centres:
Eastern Intake Centre

The recipe was a good starting point. I made a couple of changes. I used Italian prune plums and decreased the amount to 3 cups, which is about 1 lb. I also decreased the brown sugar to 1/4 cup and added a 1/4 cup white sugar. I used soften butter instead of melted butter. The resulting crisp was delicious. Fruity and not too sweet.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 4 cups sliced plums
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1⁄2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1⁄2 cup oats
- 1⁄2 cup brown sugar
- 1⁄8 teaspoon salt
- 1⁄4 cup butter or 1⁄4 cup margarine, melted
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl toss plums, flour, sugar, vanilla, and cinnamon together.
- Pour into ungreased 1 1/2-quart baking dish.
- In a small bowl combine all topping ingredients.
- Mix with a fork until crumbly.
- Distribute topping mixture evenly over plums (I use my hands for this).
- Bake in 350 degree oven for 40 to 45 minutes or until topping is crispy and golden brown.

Spa Gregorie's
The Spa Gregorie team won Spa Finder's Reader's Choice award for Best Day Spa of 2011 for rejuvenating skin with Spa Gregorie's botanically enriched product line. Steps away from the spa's tranquil hair salon, Arcona formulas play a central role in the spa's 18 facial treatments while massage clients benefit from fluffy robes and a eucalyptus steam room.

New Melbourne Victory signing Jesse Makarounas - unveiled on Monday alongside Scott Galloway and Francesco Stella - believes Glory are letting their local youngsters down
By KIERAN FRANCIS |
New Melbourne Victory signing Jesse Makarounas has taken a swipe at his former club Perth Glory, claiming the Western Australian club deprives their young talent of oppurtunities.
The 18-year-old Australia youth international was unveiled in front of the media on Monday, along with other new signings Francesco Stella and Scott Galloway.
"I had a frustrating 18 months at Glory and didn't really get the game time I think I deserved," Makarounas said.
"I think [Ferguson] said he wanted to keep me but I think I had to make the decision what I thought was best for my career. After being there for a year-and-a-half and being frustrated, I thought it was time for me to move on."
Several Perth Glory youngsters have moved on from the club to successful careers at other A-League teams, including Eli Babalj, Trent Sainsbury and Mark Birighitti, and Makarounas believes it is something Glory should examine.
"I guess that it's just down to the club and the coach picks his players. But there is so many players that have played in the A-League that could have been at Glory, so that's something they might have to look into," he said.
Makarounas also praised the methods used at Victory training.
"It was different from what I've been used to [at Perth Glory] but it's all with the ball and that's what I like," he said.
"We just played lots of games [at Glory] and wasn't the same. Every club is different and they look at training different to what Victory does."
Fellow new signing Stella, who says he can play anywhere through the attack, was pleased to end his experience at Scottish club Rangers and return to his hometown.
"I don't really know [why I didn't get a chance] because on my part I think I deserved a lot more. That's why I chose to leave," he said.
"[Rangers] were opting to use their youth system a lot and considering that they are in such a low league, players that come from overseas like me and few others, maybe didn't get as much of a fair go because of that.
"Melbourne Victory is the biggest team in Australia and it's from my hometown so it's really good, I'm happy."
Victory also presented 17-year-old former AIS captain Galloway - a both-sided full-back who can deputise in defensive midfield - and he described the move as a "dream come true".
"I'm very lucky that [coach Ange Postecoglou] has picked me to come to Melbourne Victory, which has always been a club I have looked up to and always wanted to play for and to get my first pro-contract at the club is unbelievable for me," he said.

There are a number of birdhouses for the yard and garden. Some are hung by a tree branch, others are mounted on poles and some come on platforms. There are birdhouses that also have decks. The decks usually circle the birdhouse itself. Small size decks are recommended and the larger decks should be avoided. The large decks can encourage predators of the birds. Keep the birdhouse near a large tree branch so it can safely land and then quickly hop to the birdhouse. The Connecticut Retreat Birdhouse is a good choice. It features a single unit apartment. It's made of real wood and has a real stone chimney. It also sports a bay window, flower pots and even a rocking chair. It has a small deck that the runs the length of the birdhouse, It also has breathing holes for ventilation and for nesting birds. The birdhouse also comes with drainage holes for rain water that may get in the birdhouse. The paint is environment friendly as it is water-based. It has all-weather caulking and waterproof glue.
Make sure there is a clear flight path to the entrance of the birdhouse. Provide fresh bird food as needed. The distance from the bottom of the birdhouse to the floor needs be at least 5 inches. This will ensure any young in the box who are developing won't have trouble with predators. The inside flooring should measure 4 inches by 4 inches. You will want the birdhouse to have easy access for cleaning. To attract Eastern Bluebirds a birdhouse needs to be at least 5 feet high and have an entrance door of 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Northern Flickers are drawn to high places so the birdhouse needs to be as high as possible. They are drawn to heights of 30 feet and taller. The birdhouse must be situated on a southeastern facing home. Building a pond near your birdhouse is also a good idea as this will attract Swallows and Wrens.
A very popular birdhouse is the Wing and A Pray with a verdigris roof. It houses eight birds at once. It has ledges around the house on each level. It even has several "take-off" spots. There are eight individual entrances. The roof is removable for nest checks and for annual cleanings. It's made of plastic, wood, and metal. It weighs 24 pounds. The dimensions of the birdhouse are 12.5 " long x 12.5" wide x 27.75" high. The mount is a 4 inch x 4 inch post. The cost for this birdhouse is around $190.00.

Mishegoss (pronounced mish-eh-GOSS) is a Yiddish word, borrowed liberally by that veritable Borg of a language, English as she is spoke. Especially by New Yorkers.
It's a wonderful catch-all of a word, but a the same time, it means something very specific. Hunting it down in written reference is pretty easy, but can be tricky, because both it and its root word aren't spelt using Western characters. They're Yiddish, as I said, which has been spelled different ways in different locales, borrowing writing systems to preserve a truth. It can be and has been written as mishegaas, meshugges and others.
So what does it mean?
Its base word is meshugge (or meschugge) - which means, roughly, 'crazy.' Those who are crazy are meshuggeners if they're guys, and meshuggenehs if they're girls. But one thing they all have in common is the mishegoss.
One Joyce Turner, of Cresskill, NJ, wrote to the New York Times in 1986 to explain the proper meaning of mishegoss. Later, in 2005 William Safire would have a more formal go at it in his famous NY Times column On Language.
Sorry. Basically, it's the noun form, and means 'craziness.' Used in context, it usually refers to a particular eccentricity or visual indication of craziness exhibited by a meshuggener or meshuggeneh.
It has been used to great effect by great men.
(For those who don't know that quote, it is the incomparable Walter Matthau as Lt. Garber in the original 1974 version of The Taking of Pelham One Two Three.)

If you had the misfortune of going into battle with a Nambu Type 94, making a run for it may have been the wiser choice. Widely regarded as one of the world's worst service handguns, it contained a series of deadly design flaws.
Among the least of notorious 94's issues: being unreliable, ridiculously inaccurate and difficult to operate.
The static rules and setups used by most traders when executing trend or counter-trend trades contain similar flaws. A surefire way to fix this can be found in using real-time order flow data that puts you in a position to qualify your trades.
Static Rules & Setups = Blind Misfire Trades
The Type 94's worst flaw was an exposed trigger bar along its left side. If accidentally pressed with a round in the chamber — the gun would discharge.
Simple rules many traders use, like only fading the first breakout or using small stops to limit risk, are like using accidental discharges to generate consistent profits.
For example, take a swing high in any given market. Your move is simple: trade or fade? For crude, many believe that you always trade the breakout. If this were the S&P, others might say you should fade because it consistently reverts.
In reality, your trade really is just a guess unless you can qualify your theory by seeing exactly what institutional traders are doing at that moment.
Order Flow Sequence: Going into battle with fully loaded candles
To make matters worse, our poor Type 94 only held 6 bullets — and the ammunition was known for being strangely underpowered.
In a battlefield filled with institutional investors, using a six-shooter equivalent with static rules and setups won't do you much good.
Order Flow Sequence Intelligence gives you a fully loaded candle, automatically reloading each second with real-time data.
Looking closer at our hypothetical, we see that the swing challenged the high and then reverted. Good or bad, depending on your static guess.
With Order Flow Sequence Intelligence you would have watched in real time as:
1. Buyers come in and push with the activity in the light green.
2. Sellers absorb the buyers with the trades in the red boxes.
3. Sellers start trading over the buyers, eventually taking over.
Would you rather qualify your move using this intelligence, or take a blind shot?
Responsive vs. Static: The difference between early or dead
As if there weren't enough problems — the slide on the 94 was difficult to operate in moist conditions. Bad news if you're operating in the jungles of southeast Asia.
Like a jammed slide — static rules and setups don't reflect the changing landscape of the market. The position you've assumed, likely 6-10 ticks late, could already be compromised with many common setups.
This is why you're getting inconsistent results, even when using previously successful approaches to seemingly identical market situations.
With Order Flow Sequence Intelligence your trading strategy is qualified early — based on what's taking place before you. This allows you to get in before the market move fully materializes.
With the above chart, note how clearly the score is kept between the institutional buyers and the sellers as the swing reaches its peak. You know who is going to prevail, your entry is qualified and you're rolling with the winners.
This was happening right in the middle of your static setup, unseen without a dynamic tool like Order Flow Sequence Intelligence.
Consistent profits require analysis, not arrows and setups
Taking on the highly-trained institutional traders isn't simply a matter of watching to see if numbers turn red or green. Don't fall for this common indicator trap. It's a developed discipline of understanding the behavior and the demand that's driving the aggressive trading.
With our swing example — sure, you may have gotten in early when the buyers were pushed back. But it was the one-sided nature of the seller route that ensured where you made your real money.
It was the stopped-out buyers and the demand shift that the institutional traders selling at that moment seized. Those who could see and discern this got their pockets lined.
And let's be honest. Without being able to see the lack of grit in the buyer's response would you have chickened out when you saw the comeback?
Stem the tide, turn your simple setups into wins
Despite its known flaws, the Type 94 managed to get worse and more dangerous as the war progressed. This was likely due to a scarcity in skilled craftsmen and materials.
There are plenty of traders willing to use the Type 94s of supposedly proven rules and setups. Ignoring their notorious track record, they step on the battlefield completely unaware of what's taking place. The result only worsens their position and trading history.
Don't be one of them. See institutional fortifications as they're prepared, and enter early using the fully loaded candle of Order Flow Sequence Intelligence. Avoid the trap of simply looking for signals, and analyze the behavior that's driving aggressive activity.
Stem the tide and turn your static setups into consistent profit — now, before it's too late!

Gills boss Martin Allen is hoping to see a backlash from his side following the Boxing Day defeat to Barnet.
The lead at the top of the League 2 table was cut to two points following a 1-0 loss.
Allen (pictured) said: "Everyone has been wounded.
"We know we can all do better and we have now got to get ourselves mentally, physically and tactically ready for Northampton.
"We know what they are about and we have to impose our own style on the game and play with real quality."
Northampton's game at AFC Wimbledon on Boxing Day was postponed. They pose a physical test for the Gills, with big striker Adebayo Akinfenwa leading the line upfront for them.
They head to Priestfield sitting 11th in the table.
"They are always going to be a tough team to play against, with the way they are, but I am not so much interested in them to be honest," said Allen.
"It is my job to help our players and to try and get them back onto that top form, with self belief and the confidence to get it down and play, be competitive and together. We have to work together."
The Gills have failed to win in any of their last three games at Priestfield and another slip-up could see them lose top spot in the table, a position they have held since the start of the season.
But Allen just wants to see his side put on a performance to be proud of.
"Something that needs to be looked at is the performances; that is what you want to be good," he said. "There have been some really good ones, especially away at Rotherham a couple of weeks ago."
The Gills are again expected to be at full strength for the match.

How fast do you think my Twister is going?
I have been getting a bit of time in on my Twister which I have not flown in awhile. I am useing the same drive that I have always used but am now using 3S packs. The P480 with a CAM 4.7X4.7 is turning at 18.2K RPM so that gives me a pitch speed of like 80MPH right? With drag and all that other associated stuff how fast you think it goes. I have to say that this plane no longer scares me all that much and I am feeling the need for more speed. Losing a couple oz. with the lipo pack has made landing the Twister a fair amount easier, I can now put it down within 20' of where I planed too . I do have a SP480 BB race motor and with a 4.2X4.1 APC prop I have the amp draw with in reason for a 3S TP2100 GII pack and the motor. May have to toss that into the Twister to see what it can do.
Cheers, Jim |
Your math on pitch speed is right. The rpm you measure is presumably on the ground so in the air it will unload to perhaps 20k. In level flight you can probably expect 70-80mph with a little more in a dive.
As Dave said, it will unload and spin faster in flight. With a can motor at those kind of power levels, mine was flying around 74mph level - this one has a lot of wing, so it's draggy, and takes a lot of power to get over 100. I've done it, however - with a brushless - and it's a lot of fun, but still relaxing to fly as it's easy to see, and tracks so well at speed..
..a |
Thanks guys, that is kind of where I was thinking it was, does not seem that fast to be honest. I am going to try the SP480BB Race motor and see how that goes and I also have a 15/16/3 that is destined to be used in my KC F/18 that has suffered substaintial hanger rash (have to learn not to kick things in the dark ) I know that is a proven set up. Andy, what were you running to get into the triple digits? I have put a 3/16" carbon tube in the wing so think the wing is strong enough, I guess there is only one way to find out .
Cheers, Jim |

- "You gotta get us out of here, this place is a death trap!"
- — Montevado Stranded
Montevado was human walled city on Sera.[1] It was one of three cities that surrounded Jacinto Plateau, and was occupied by small groups of Stranded.
After the Mission to the Pirnah Badlands, Delta Squad was sent to Montevado on a recon mission when a seismic disturbance was detected. Delta discovered only one person there, who told them there were only two Stranded settlements left and that Wretch packs roamed the city.[1] While Delta was battling one of these Wretch packs, the city of Montevado began to sink beneath them.[1] It would later be discovered that the sinking was due to the activity of the Riftworm.[2]

Alexander argues that his neocortex was switched off, and that conscious experiences such as he describes were impossible during his coma. This, so he claims, makes his case relevantly different from the ones before.
Also, some who agree that this does not provide proof of Heaven still think it disproves materialism.
It's all hogwash of course. But the "stock criticism" you describe doesn't seem to work here due to his claims about the neocortex.
I did consider his claim about the shut down, but he does not seem to have adequate evidence that this was the case. The fact that he came back without serious brain damage would seem to indicate some living activity remained.
Now, if he can show that all possible physically based mental operations had ceased, then his claim of post death experience would have more credence as evidence of a mind that could experience a non physical aspect of reality.
Hey, interesting topic here. I had this idea, a hypothesis about how life after death could exist. According to these people who claim they had some experience during their being near death, it sounds like they were in some sort of a dream state. Now how could this be if their cortex or whatever part of their brain is off?
My guess is that maybe they have this experience just before the moment they wake up. It could be similar to what we experience when we sleep. For instance, when we snooze our alarm, there are times when we have a dream which we think at that dreaming moment that lasts very long but when the alarm goes then we realize it was just for a few minutes.
Thinking on this perspective, there actually could be a way that life after death exists, depending on what frame of reference we look, depending on the observer.
What if that man in comma never woke up? What would happen in his 'dream' (or heaven)? Maybe he would think that this heaven is lasting forever while in our waken reference he's just a minute from complete death. To be on a positive side, maybe there's a chance that this person always will be in this 'dream' and his mind (or soul) will never reach that point of knowing about its own death. So then technically forever heaven might exits.Of course it's just a mind experiment. I would appreciate your comments and views 🙂
Good points. The evidence seems to be that the brain is not completely devoid of activity when people are "dead" in this manner.
Interesting idea that a person could dream a long (subjective) time in "heaven" while objectively little time passes. Of course, they'd not seem to be well and truly dead.
Thanks for a comment, it's nice to see a feedback from a philosopher. Hopefully, there are more ideas about life after death than just that we die and then nothing happens or that we go straight to heaven.
There are lots of theories: reincarnation of various sorts, existing as ghosts, and so on. Spinoza had the view that we persist in the eternal existence of God.
Yeah, but those 2 lastly mentioned theories don't have many logical arguments. For instance, in case of reincarnation you don't remember who you were in your previous life or even that you have lived before so it's basically the same as no life after death cos you reborn as different person.
I didn't know about Spinoza ideas, I'll have to check them out, thanks for mentioning it.
Plato, in the Meno lays out probably the best philosophical argument for reincarnation.
