Back in April 2015, I lined out a new initiative that Marvel Comics had put out for the masses that went under the banner "True Believers". These titles focused on previously published comics that bore some relation to the at the time upcoming "Secret Wars" mega-event that we have been enjoying all summer. The great thing about this was that these comics were all $1 apiece and since there were almost a dozen of them it made for a perfect gift for any young reader in your household. Heck it was even good for yourself if you felt like having a newer "reading copy" at your disposal. This second round proves to be equally if not more exciting and I'll let the press from Marvel themselves do the talking but I will offer up some insight to each one of the titles if possible and at the close. Let's get started.
The Women of Marvel are taking over in September! That's right, Marvel's blockbuster female-led titles are returning to comic shops this month for ten new TRUE BELIEVERS titles. Specially priced at $1, these can't miss introductory issues provide the perfect window into some of Marvel's critically acclaimed female-led titles! From the high stakes espionage action of Black Widow to the out of this world adventure of Princess Leia. From the larger than life Ms. Marvel to the irresistible charm of Spider-Gwen – these fan-favorite premiere issues offer perfect entry points into the Marvel Universe. Hang on tight and see what you've been missing with these exciting TRUE BELIEVERS titles coming to comic shops in September!
True Believers: Black Widow #1: I only leafed through this original first issue at the comic shop but its a solid one and with the popularity of Black Widow thanks to the Avengers and Captain America films then this is one you will want to relive as a "True Believer" edition. By Nathan Edmondson, Phil Noto; Collecting "Black Widow" (2014) #1.
True Believers: Captain Marvel #1: Captain Marvel is coming to the big screen in the next couple of years and that is going to make getting in on the ground floor with this character all the more important for those fans of the films and the comic book page. By Kelly Sue DeConnick and David Lopez. Collecting "Captain Marvel" (2014) #1.

More on Professional vs. Public Criticism
2 comments:

Don't forget that the crucial difference between professional and public criticism is the peer review process and that is the stumbling block that prevents non-professional criticism from adding weight to scholarly CVs. I don't see that the peer review system should be abandoned. And of course it won't. No other discipline would consider doing so. The "post a comment" option in a blog like this doesn't fill anything like the same function as peer review, though both forms of response can lead to hurt feelings.
Also, Dickstein's notion that professional criticism no longer sees literature as engaged with the real world is unsophisticated. The best literary scholarship is demonstrating in all kinds of ways that literature does not only reflect reality, but profoundly influence and shape our conceptions of what reality is. Consider the countless works of Victorian literature that built a world view based around British colonial supremacy, non-white racial inferiority, and feminine delicacy. Literature did not just reflect such ideas, it helped to generated them.

No question, peer review is a key difference; imperfect though it is (and I'm sure all academics have or have heard stories of bias, inconsistency, or plain confusion in referees'comments, against which the author usually has no recourse except to try somewhere else), it serves a crucial filtering function. Blogs are at the other extreme, of course, as they are directly self-published. (Though Amardeep Singh posted an interesting proposal at The Valve earlier this year about establishing a review process for academic blogs; see http://www.thevalve.org/go/valve/article/idea_for_discussion_an_academic_blog_review/#comments for his initial suggestions and some good discussion.) Many bloggers, especially academics, seem to use their blogs more as sounding boards for work in progress and opportunities for a relatively informal exchange of ideas and views (again, Amardeep Singh has written interestingly on the character of blogs, again at The Valve: http://www.thevalve.org/go/valve/article/theor/.) There are intermediate forms, though, from newspapers and magazines to 'trade' publications.

Talking Points: Cardiff 0, Liverpool 2
A rare Gini Wijnaldum away goal and a penalty from James Milner secured another three points for Liverpool. They overcame Cardiff on Sunday afternoon. After a wasteful first-half, Jürgen Klopp's side found the goals they needed after the break to return to the top of the Premier League.
Reds unflustered by first-half, professional in second-half…
This was a game that, on paper, could be seen as straightforward given the teams' league positions. Cardiff's win over Brighton in midweek has given them real belief they can stay up and their fans will always create a cauldron of atmosphere when playing at home.
Liverpool's general play on a slow pitch in the first half was more than acceptable. When all of the Reds' trio missed a great chance some fear would have undoubtedly crept in that this could be one of those days.
Roberto Firmino's, in particular, was a sitter. With the Bluebirds looking a slight threat on the counter and from set-pieces, Liverpool needed a goal and quickly. But as the Reds have been more than happy to do in games this season, they bided their time. They kept patient and eventually found the breakthrough after the breakthrough Wijnaldum.
Sean Morrison thankfully missed a sitter of his own to deny the hosts an equaliser. Before James Milner netted the game-killing second goal. From then on, Liverpool simply kept the ball as the minutes ticked by while occasionally venturing forwards.
It was the kind of professionalism that title winners are made of. Liverpool have shown plenty of it this campaign.
Set-piece success continues…
It is crazy to think that a few seasons ago the term 'set-piece' or 'corner' would send shivers down the spine of many a Liverpool fan; given how poorly the Reds defended them and rarely scored from them.
Fast-forward to the 18/19 season and Klopp's team have one of the best records at not conceding from set-pieces and the best record in the league at scoring from them.
Whether it penalties, corners or free-kicks, Liverpool have been the masters of the dead-ball situation. The Reds proved it once again against Cardiff. Many supporters would have initially thought that Trent Alexander-Arnold's corner in was a poor one. It was, in fact, a tremendously well-worked routine that Wijnaldum finished off superbly.
Klopp admitted after the game that the players decided to use the routine after a half-time discussion. Which highlights just how calculated they want to be about every aspect of a football match. Then came the penalty.
Rival fans will scream for another Mohamed Salah dive when in truth it was rubbish defending and a clear foul. Milner, ever reliable from the penalty spot, stepped up and sent Neil Etheridge the wrong way to put the Reds 2-0 up. Set-piece FC at it again.
Midfield now contributing to goals on regular basis…
We've complained about it for most of the season – Liverpool's midfield are not producing enough goals and assists. But in recent weeks this has thankfully changed and on Sunday it was another two goals for the Reds' midfielders. This time against Neil Warnock's team.
It was a surprise to see Wijnaldum named in the starting line-up with Fabinho expected to start. The Dutchman made his mark with a thumping finish to score a rare away goal.
Naby Keita played very well as he continued his positive form of late. As did Jordan Henderson. The pair using the ball well and dragging the Cardiff midfield out of position with intelligent runs.
With a more aggressive and attacking play like this from Klopp's midfield, it is no surprise that more goal contributions are coming from such players. Henderson and Keita epitomising this perfectly.
Reds putting maximum pressure on City is all we can ask…
It's all Liverpool can do. Win all of our league games, finish on 97 points. Hope that Manchester City will drop points in a game before the end of the season.
If Liverpool do that and it still isn't enough to win the title, then, disappointingly, so be it. City's game against Spurs on Saturday seemed a great chance for City to drop points. If a few very dodgy officiating decisions went the other way then maybe they might have done.
Liverpool deserve much credit for refusing to buckle under the pressure and maintain said pressure on their rivals. Wednesday sees City face Manchester United at Old Trafford. Despite United's awful form, it is another decent chance for City to drop points.
Even if United really work Pep Guardiola's men hard, traveling to face Burnley with a tired squad on three days rest is by no means easy. Liverpool will be hopeful, and at the moment they are doing all they can to keep their title dream alive.

If you are lucky enough to have a job with benefits that include employer-sponsored group life insurance, you're pretty lucky. Taking advantage of group term life insurance rates can be a great way to supplement your other personal life insurance coverage, helping make sure your loved ones are protected in the event of your premature death.
However, thinking that because you have employer-sponsored coverage you don't need a separate, stand-alone policy can be a costly, and unfortunate, mistake. Here's why:
1. Employer coverage is usually not portable . In most cases, employees who leave their employers are not able to take their employer-sponsored life insurance coverage with them - this is referred to as portability. So, when your employment ends, your policy ends. If you still have a need for life insurance coverage at that point, you will need to be able to qualify for a new policy based on your health at that time, and will need to pay premiums based on your then-attained age. Because our future health is always a big unknown, you may find yourself in a situation where you are unable to obtain the coverage you, and your family, need.
2. Conversion, if available, will be costly . Although it is rare, sometimes those group policies can be converted to universal life policies that you would manage and own. However, remember that the cost of insurance is based on your age at the time of policy issue. In the case of a term-to-universal conversion, the policy actually starts when you convert it. While you may not have to worry about being able to qualify for that coverage, your premiums will likely give you some sticker shock and maintaining the policy over the long-term may be unattainable.
3. Potentially insufficient coverage . Another problem with relying solely on your employer-sponsored benefits to meet your life insurance coverage needs is that the amount of insurance coverage you are able to purchase may not be enough to meet your needs. Death benefits of one-to-two times your annual salary may seem sufficient when you're just getting started in your career. However, for employees with spouses who don't work outside the home, with significant mortgage or other debt, or those who have dependents with special needs, the need for insurance protection is likely to be greater than what you are able to buy through payroll deductions.
4. Employer-sponsored coverage may not be the cheapest . While the premium amount you're quoted for an employer-sponsored plan may seem attractive, you may actually be able to get a better deal when you shop for coverage on your own. And of course, when you do that, you - not your employer- have control of the policy.
Everyone has different life insurance needs. However, generally speaking, you should not rely entirely on life insurance benefits obtained through your employer. Group life insurance can be a great way to supplement your individual life insurance coverage - talk to your insurance professional about how you can best take advantage of that employee benefit while still making sure you are protecting your loved ones.
At Symmetry Financial Group, we are passionate about helping people identify and insure against risk. We have access to more than 30 well-known life insurance carriers, so we can find you options designed to meet your needs - and your budget.

Dicentra 'Aurora'
wild bleeding heart
This perennial dies back to below ground level each year in autumn, then fresh new growth appears again in spring.
- Position: full sun or partial shade
- Soil: moist, humus-rich, preferably neutral to slightly alkaline
- Rate of growth: average
- Flowering period: May to August
- Hardiness: fully hardy
A fast-growing, dwarf perennial with arching stems of creamy white, heart-shaped flowers from late spring to late summer. The blue-green, fern-like foliage forms a soft mound, and is a lovely foil to other plants. Easy to grow, it looks great planted en masse as a groundcover at the front of a shady border or as part of a cottage garden scheme. Dicentras are northern hemisphere plants, growing from Asia to North America. In their natural habitat they are found in moist soils in the cool margins of woodlands.
- Garden care: Dicentras are happy in any good garden soil that is fertile but not too heavy. Enrich the soil with plenty of leaf mould before planting and apply a mulch in autumn, too. A light fertilising in March will help enormously.
Delivery options
- Standard
Eventual height & spread
Notes on Dicentra 'Aurora'
"Large white lockets set above feathered grey-green foliage - following the wood anemones and lasting best on shady edges"
- Why is my Dicentra not flowering? I have 2 Bleeding Hearts (Dicentra) - the pink is great and flowering well - situated in sun / partial shade. The white flowering variety is a lovely green bush - but no flowers this year or last year - situated at the other end of the bed. Any suggestions please? Sarah
Hello Sarah, There are a number of reasons why plants don't flower including too much shade or not enough water or nutrients. If they are newly planted it can also be caused by the plant putting on new root growth instead of focusing its energies on producing flowers. I am not really sure why yours has not produced flowers, but there is no reason why it wont if given the right conditions and you can often give them a bit of a push by feeding with a high potash fertiliser. I hope this helps. Helen Plant Doctor

- Dicentra I have two beautiful, huge Dicentras - one white, one pink - next to each other in a border. The problem is that they kill everything that I plant near them, just because of their size. By this time of year, now that they have both died back, I have a big empty patch in the border. Can you suggest anything that will not mind being climbed all over in the summer and that will be coming into its own at this time of year?
Jo Fantozzi
This is tricky, but you could underplant them with Cyclamen hederifolium. These pop up in autumn and flower through to January before dying back again for the summer.

As of today, April 21, 2017, Pennsylvania's 2017 Tax Amnesty Program has officially commenced. Those individuals with potential Pennsylvania tax liabilities should consider taking advantage of the program, which is slated to run through June 19, 2017. During those sixty (60) days, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue will waive all penalties and half of the interest for anyone who participates. For more information, see our previous blog post here. Contact us to find out if amnesty is the right choice for you.

Start of Pennsylvania 2017 Tax Amnesty Program Draws Near – Do You Qualify?February 24, 2017
In less than two (2) months, Pennsylvania's 2017 Tax Amnesty Program will commence. Those individuals with potential Pennsylvania tax liabilities should consider taking advantage of the program, which is slated to run from April 21, 2017 through June 19, 2017. During those sixty (60) days, the Pennsylvania Department of Revenue ("Department") will waive all penalties and half of the interest for anyone who participates.
The program applies to delinquencies existing as of December 31, 2015 – whether or not the delinquency is known to the Department. The litany of taxes eligible for the program includes:
- Agriculture Cooperative Tax;
- Bank and Trust Company Shares Tax;
- Capital Stock or Foreign Franchise Tax;
- Cigarette Tax;
- Corporate Loans Tax;
- Electric Cooperative Tax;
- Employer Withholding Tax;
- Financial Institutions/Title Insurance Company Shares Tax;
- Fuel Use Tax;
- Gross Premiums Tax;
- Gross Receipts Tax;
- Hotel Occupancy Tax (including state administered 1% local Hotel Occupancy Tax for Philadelphia and Allegheny);
- Inheritance and Estate Tax;
- Liquid Fuels Tax;
- Malt Beverage Tax;
- Marine Underwriting Profits Tax;
- Motor Carriers Road Tax, for IFTA vehicles, PA portion only;
- Motor Vehicle Carriers Gross Receipts Tax;
- Mutual Thrift Institutions Tax;
- Oil Company Franchise Tax;
- Parimutuel Wagering and Admissions Tax;
- Personal Income Tax;
- Public Transportation Assistance ("PTA");
- Public Utility Realty Tax;
- Realty Transfer Tax, including Local Realty Transfer Tax;
- Sales and Use Tax, including Local Sales and Use Tax for Philadelphia and Allegheny;
- Surplus Lines Tax;
- Unauthorized Insurance Tax; and
- Vehicle Rental Tax.
Notably, the 2017 Tax Amnesty Program does not include Unemployment Compensation (which is administered by the Department of Labor and Industry), nor does it include any tax administered by another state, local government, or the Federal government.
Pursuant to the program, the taxpayer is responsible for paying the principal tax due, plus one-half interest. The Department will, in turn, rescind any liens or other enforcement actions for that debt; waive all penalties associated with the debt; waive one-half interest; and waive any fees (ex. lien filing fees or collection agency fees).
Along with the payment for all taxes and one-half of the interest, all missing tax returns or reports must be filed no later than June 19, 2017. However, a taxpayer with unknown liabilities reported and paid pursuant to the Tax Amnesty Program is eligible for a limited look-back period whereby the taxpayer will not be liable for any taxes of the same type due prior to January 1, 2011.
Those taxpayers who are eligible for the 2017 Tax Amnesty Program, but do not participate will be subject to a five-percent (5%) non-participation penalty. Generally speaking, individuals, businesses and other entities with state tax delinquencies as of December 31, 2015 (whether known or unknown to the Department) are eligible to participate in the program. However, any taxpayer who participated in the Department's 2010 Tax Amnesty Program is ineligible to participate in the 2017 program. Taxpayers who have entered into Voluntary Disclosure Agreements with the Department are likewise ineligible to participate. Nevertheless, taxpayers who have entered into deferred payment agreements with the Department are eligible for the 2017 Tax Amnesty Program. Notably, a taxpayer who applies for tax amnesty forfeits all future appeal rights for liabilities paid through the program.
Business taxpayers may request a statement of account that shows all liabilities by visiting e-TIDES at http://www.etides.state.pa.us. Individual taxpayers may review account information, including all liabilities, by visiting the Personal Income Tax e-Services Center at http://www.doreservices.state.pa.us. Please contact us if you need assistance in determining whether you qualify for the 2017 Tax Amnesty Program and whether participation in the program is the right choice for you.
U.S. Supreme Court Extends Time to File Petitions for Certiorari in Ohio Commercial Activity Tax CaseFebruary 22, 2017
By Order dated January 31, 2017, the United States Supreme Court granted Crutchfield Corporation ("Crutchfield") an extension of time until April 16, 2017 to file a petition for certiorari for what could be a precedential decision if the Court decides to grant it. See Crutchfield Corp. v. Joseph W. Testa, Tax Commissioner of Ohio (U.S. Supreme Court Docket No. 16A774). During November 2016, the Ohio Supreme Court ruled for the State, upholding its commercial activity tax ("CAT"). See Crutchfield Corp. v. Joseph W. Testa, Tax Commissioner of Ohio, 2016 WL 6775765 (2016). The CAT is a gross receipts tax that replaced Ohio's corporate income tax. Pursuant to the CAT, a company with more than $500,000 of Ohio sales has nexus with the state such that it is subject to the tax.
Crutchfield appealed from imposition of the CAT upon revenue it earned from sales of electronic products within Ohio. Crutchfield is based outside of Ohio, maintains no employees in Ohio, and maintains no facilities in Ohio. The sole business that Crutchfield conducts in Ohio is via the shipment of goods from outside the state to consumers within the state using the United States Postal Service or common-carrier delivery services. Crutchfield contested the issuance of CAT assessments contending that substantial nexus within a state is a necessary prerequisite to imposing the tax pursuant to the United States Constitution's dormant Commerce Clause and that Crutchfield lacked substantial nexus with Ohio since it did not maintain a "physical presence" within the state.
Responding, the State advanced two (2) arguments. First, it argued that the Commerce Clause does not impose a physical presence requirement and, thus, the $500,000 sales-receipts threshold set forth by the statute satisfies the Commerce Clause's requirement of substantial nexus. Second, the State argued that assuming arguendo the Commerce Clause does impose a physical presence standard, Crutchfield's computerized connections with Ohio consumers involves the presence of tangible personal property in Ohio and the presence of that property on computers located in the state constitutes physical presence. The Ohio Supreme Court found in favor of the State based upon its first argument and therefore it did not address the State's secondary argument.
At first glance, the Ohio Supreme Court's decision stands in stark contradiction to the United States Supreme Court's decision in Quill v. North Dakota, 504 U.S. 298 (1992), which held that for a state to subject a company to a use tax collection obligation, it must have a physical presence in the taxing state. However, the Ohio Supreme Court distinguished Quill in a number of ways. Primarily, the tax at issue in Quill was a sales and use tax, whereas the tax at issue in Crutchfield was a business privilege tax. The Ohio Supreme Court found that Quill's holding does not apply to business privilege taxes. This is not the first time a court has drawn such a distinction. See Couchot v. State Lottery Comm., 659 N.E.2d 1225 (Ohio 1996) ("There is no indication in Quill that the Supreme Court will extend the physical-presence requirement to cases involving taxation measured by income derived from the state"); Capital One Bank v. Commr. of Revenue, 899 N.E.2d 76 (Mass. 2009) (declining to "expand the [United States Supreme] Court's reasoning [in Quill] beyond its articulated boundaries" and upholding imposition of tax on out-of-state banks in relation to in-state servicing of credit cards based on the volume of business conducted and profits realized); MBNA Am. Bank, N.A. v. Indiana Dept. of State Revenue, 895 N.E.2d 140 (Ind. Tax 2008) ("Based on [Quill] and a thorough review of relevant case law, this Court finds that the Supreme Court has not extended the physical presence requirement beyond the realm of sales and use taxes"); KFC Corp. v. Iowa Dept. of Revenue, 792 N.W.2d 308 (Iowa 2010) ("We * * * doubt that the United States Supreme Court would extend the 'physical presence' rule outside the sales and use context of Quill ").
The United States Supreme Court has not addressed the physical presence nexus standard issue since its landmark decision in Quill twenty-five (25) years ago. Many argue that the Supreme Court in Quill could not and did not anticipate the internet boom and, with it, the vastly different way that business would be conducted. Since then, the Court has denied certiorari for every case since Quill where nexus was at issue, e.g., Tax Com'r of State v. MBNA America Bank, N.A. 640 S.E.2d 226 (W. Va. 2006), cert. denied, 551 U.S. 1141 (2007); Capital One Bank v. Commissioner of Revenue, 9 N.E.2d 76 (Mass. 2009), cert. denied, 557 U.S. 919 (2009); Geoffrey, Inc. v. South Carolina Tax Com'n, 37 S.E.2d 13 (S.C. 1993), cert. denied, 510 U.S. 992 (1993); Lanco, Inc. v. Director, Div. of Taxation, 908 A.2d 176 (2006), cert. denied, 551 U.S. 1131 (2007); see also, Direct Marketing Ass'n v. Brohl, 135 S.Ct. 1124, 1134-1135 (2015) (Kennedy, J., concurring) ("The Internet has caused far-reaching systemic and structural changes in the economy, and, indeed, in many other societal dimensions. Although online businesses may not have a physical presence in some States, the Web has, in many ways, brought the average American closer to most major retailers. A connection to a shopper's favorite store is a click away—regardless of how close or far the nearest storefront…Today buyers have almost instant access to most retailers via cell phones, tablets, and laptops. As a result, a business may be present in a State in a meaningful way without that presence being physical in the traditional sense of the term. Given these changes in technology and consumer sophistication, it is unwise to delay any longer a reconsideration of the Court's holding in Quill."). If the United States Supreme Court grants Crutchfield's petition for certiorari, we might finally receive an answer to Quill's application in the age of the internet.
Weekly Update for 3/16March 19, 2012
Arizona Court Holds that Cooperative Direct Mail Advertising is Not Subject to Use Tax

Michigan Court of Appeals Finds Taxpayer Could Not Collaterally Attack Underlying Assessment
The Michigan Court of Appeals held that a taxpayer could not appeal a use tax assessment, as the sole shareholder and responsible corporate officer of a retailer, where the taxpayer's appeal was untimely and where he was statutorily precluded from collaterally attacking the underlying assessment.

It will take effect either September 15, 2012 or January 2013.

State DOR Letters and Policy Rulings
But where's your paper … New Mexico hearings officer rules that a taxpayer does not qualify for a gross receipts tax deduction merely because the taxpayer did not possess any nontaxable transaction certificates as required by NMSA 1978, Section 7-9-43 (2001). Other states have similar requirements for certificates, but merely because they are "required" does not necessarily mean the courts agree.
Virginia Tax Commissioner rules that an egg tray washer was not "processing" as defined by Virginia Code § 58.1-609.3(2)(iii) as it was used between the processing to maintain cleanliness. Even though the equipment was necessary to operate the actual processing, the equipment itself was not involved in the processing of the eggs for sale. Similarly, a "honey wagon" that was used to collect the bird droppings and then spray the droppings as fertilizer on fields was not part of the processing, even though the droppings came from the waste resulting from the cleaning of the eggs. Finally, the Commissioner rules that pit fans used to dry bird droppings that are then sold to farmers as fertilizer are not processing, but do qualify for the agricultural exemption at Virginia Code § 58.1-609.2(1). Different result should apply in Texas, as drying an item is a physical change, thus processing.
State Regulations and Public Notices
North Carolina updates its taxability matrix for the SSUTA.
The New Jersey Division of Taxation has published answers to frequently asked questions relating to the NJ-1040 e-filing mandate. For the 2011 taxable year forward, tax preparers expecting to prepare eleven (11) or more New Jersey individual income tax returns must electronically file those returns for which an electronic filing option is available. Those returns not included in the e-filing mandate are New Jersey nonresident, part-year resident, amended and prior year returns.
The Connecticut Department of Revenue issued an Informational Publication (IP 2011(15)) answering frequently asked questions regarding the Connecticut individual use tax. The Informational Publication addresses changes in legislation affecting Connecticut use tax filing and payment obligations, which occurred during 2011.
Starting January 1, 2011, those tax preparers filing more than five (5) returns per year with New York are now required to e-file. The New York Department of Taxation may impose a penalty on both the preparer and the taxpayer for a failure to electronically file returns. Additionally, beginning with the return due on March 20, 2012, sales tax returns for annual filers must be filed electronically.
State Legislative Affairs
Economic nexus comes into play again. Michigan signs into law SB 650 which defines nexus for a financial institution as any of the following: (i) physical presence, (ii) Michigan source receipts of at least $350,000 or (iii) has an ownership interest in a flow through entity.
Judicial and Administrative Decisions and Pleadings
A coalition of public school districts in Texas files suit against the State of Texas on constitutional grounds, arguing that the state tax system funding public schools is unfair, and does not provide the schools with sufficient funding to provide a free education to students.
In another school funding case, a federal district court rules against Lynch, who argued that Alabama's property tax rates, among the lowest in the country, violate the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Equal Protection Clause of the Fourteenth Amendment. How? The tax scheme limits the ability of rural counties to tax wealthy white landowners. The opinion is looooong – really long. In the end, the court focused on its view that the tax structure was based on economics, not race, and therefore passed muster under the rational basis standard.
On further thought … Washington Court of Appeals reverses its decision on remand and finds that a hospital was not entitled to an exemption for amounts collected and paid to a third-party service provider. In its initial decision, the Court of Appeals determined that the payments did not qualify as gross income subject to business and occupation (B&O) tax. But the Supreme Court reversed the Court of Appeals' ruling in Washington Imaging Services, LLC v. Wash. Dept. of Rev., 252 P3d 885 (Wash. 2011). Because there was no independent obligation for its patients to pay the third-party service provider for services rendered, the hospital did not make payments on behalf of its patients as their agent, the payments made constituted gross income. The exemption under Wash. Admin. Code § 458-20-111 did not apply as they payments were not customary reimbursements or advances made in the ordinary course of business.
NY Division of Tax Appeals rules against the estimated assessment made by an auditor for sales tax. While the taxpayer lacked the records necessary to avoid an estimated audit, the auditor made assumptions not based on reality, used information limited to only one quarter and extrapolated over a multi-year period. Thus the assessment was arbitrary.
Illinois Court of Appeals affirms decision to use income valuation approach because the sales comparison method provided unreliable. The government had used comparisons that included sales resulting from Department of Justice divestiture orders. Such sales necessarily are not defined as arm's length transactions.
The Texas Court of Appeals for the 14th District (Houston) rules that Hotels.com and other similar online companies need not remit occupancy tax on the full amount received by online customers for the purchase of hotel space through the web site. Rather, the hotel occupancy tax is levied solely on the amount received by the hotel.

We played a 2v2 Total War game to kick off our club's campaign, with the Warsaw Pact attacking Hamburg (North) from Schwerin.
The US Infantry deployed in the Northwest corner, while the US Armor deployed in the Southwest corner.
The Soviets deployed in the Northeast corner, while the East Germans deployed in the Southeast corner.
To start the game, the first Afgantsy unit landed on the west side of the river and next turn unloaded into the buildings to contest the North Central objective. The T-72Ms got slaughtered on the train bridges, but held the attention of the Abrams long enough for the hinds to come to the Southwest corner and unload on the tanks.
One T-72M formation broke quickly. The VADS moved South to counter the hinds, which moved east and continued to fire on the Abrams until the formation broke. Over the next few turns, the hinds took a beating, killing only 1 Abrams before the Afgantsy broke. The T-64s took a beating and broke a few turns after the Afgantsy, but not before 2 more Abrams tanks were destroyed. For the next several turns, T-72Ms maneuvered around the Southwest part of the table, but accomplished very little, while the artillery and formation HQs put on a last ditch effort to hold the Northeast, following the advance of the remaining Abrams over the North bridge.

Uri (J-K)[India], Nov.15 (ANI): National Conference (NC) president Farooq Abdullah on Wednesday reiterated that Pakistan occupied Kashmir or PoK does not belong to India.
"PoK does not belong to India. It's been 70 years and they (New Delhi) couldn't get it. And today they are saying that it is a part of India," he said in Uri.
Launching a veiled attack on the Centre, the former Jammu and Kashmir chief minister said, "How long will the innocent shed their blood and they will say that PoK is a part of India?"
Abdullah had earlier on Saturday said that PoK belongs to Pakistan and the fact would not change no matter how many wars are fought over the issue.
India, however, maintains that Pakistan occupied Kashmir (PoK) belongs to India as it was invaded by Pakistan in 1947.
Abdullah's remark drew huge flak and a Bihar court even ordered the filing of an FIR against him on charges of treason.
Abdullah, however, remained unperturbed and said, "I welcome the FIR. Now, they will know who the real man is."
Abdullah also took a dig at Chief Minister Mehbooba Mufti for her double-speak on peace in the valley.
"Mufti goes to Delhi and says that peace prevails in Kashmir and here she does not conduct elections, saying there is no peace here," he said.(ANI)

Opening of The Bass's Newly Designed Space Postponed to Spring 2017
The re-opening of The Bass, Miami Beach's contemporary art museum, will be
postponed to Spring 2017 due to construction delays. Initially scheduled to open on December 1, 2016 coinciding with Art Basel Miami Beach, the construction timeline has been extended out of consideration to the building's historical attributes which date back to the 1930s. The slated inaugural exhibitions by Ugo Rondinone, Mika Rottenberg and Pascale Marthine Tayou have been rescheduled for the coming year. Activations presented by The Bass will take place this December outside the museum's walls. Additional details will be released in the coming months.
"Our primary concern is ensuring that we conduct a careful and courteous renovation to preserve this iconic piece of Miami Beach history," says Executive Director and Chief Curator Silvia Karman Cubiñá. "The process of renovating historic landmarks differs greatly from that of modern structures, and we have needed to extend our construction deadline to accommodate these intricacies. We are exceedingly grateful to our donors, sponsors, and members as well as the artists who have all remained supportive throughout this transformation project."
"The Miami Beach Historic Preservation Board is tremendously pleased with the meticulous and thoughtful redesign of The Bass," comments Debbie Tackett, Preservation and Design Manager for the Miami Beach Planning Department. "Its historic building is of real significance to our community, and one of the few structures of its kind on Miami Beach. The fact that the museum is striving to expand its exhibition and educational spaces while maintaining the integrity of the existing architecture makes this an example of resilient preservation."
Built in the 1930s and designed by architect Russell Pancoast, grandson of Miami Beach pioneer John Collins, the building was placed on the National Register in 1978 as an exemplar of Art Deco architecture. Since occupying the building in 1964, The Bass has maintained a commitment to preserving the historic landmark, while conducting responsible expansions and renovations. The most recent transformation, currently on budget at $12 million, features the most extensive internal renovations in the building's history. The current endeavor will add nearly 10,000 square feet to house four new galleries, a museum store and café, and a designated education facility, subsequently increasing the building's programmable space by nearly 50 percent

Columbus Crew SC took on Liga MX side Club Tijuana in a scrimmage on Thursday in Chula Vista, Calif., defeating the Mexican side 1-0. The match was Columbus' second preseason friendly of 2019, following Tuesday's friendly against Japanese club Vissel Kobe, which ended in a scoreless draw.
The Black & Gold's first-half lineup featured two of its Crew SC Academy products in Alex Crognale and Aboubacar Keita, alongside current Crew SC Academy player Sebastian Berhalter. Despite being a tight affair, the Crew took the lead in the 44th minute and held on for the club's second shutout in as many preseason matches.
Crew SC featured an entirely different lineup in the second half, which included Luis Argudo and Robinho. The Columbus backline maintained its clean sheet in the second half to earn its first win and its second consecutive shutout of the 2019 preseason, bringing the Black & Gold's preseason record to 1-0-1 in 2019.

Summer Beauty Makeover
Lots of you have been asking, "Kalisah, what sort of make up routine do you follow in the summertime that gives you that flawless, sun-kissed face?"
OK, not really, but let's pretend like a lot of you have been asking me that.
Colors will mostly vary depending on your skin tone and hair color, but when a certain shade is preferred I've taken the incentive to name it for you. I sometimes recommend using your finger to apply rather than a make-up brush because I think it allows more control, especially when you're going for light coverage. However, always wash your hands thoroughly before and after applying anything to your face with your hands to avoid spreading bacteria and causing breakouts.
1. Laura Mercier Tinted Moisturizer - allows for a more natural appearance than foundation in the summertime while still smoothing out your skin and provides 20 SPF sun protection. Even if you tan your body, you should protect your face and get your summer glow this way. Also available in oil-free.
2. Concealer - use Secret Camouflage with a concealer brush very sparingly on blemishes. Benefit Lyin' Eyes is a great undereye concealer, but again - use sparingly. Apply with ring fingertip rather than the brush.
3. Prep - A thin layer of Lemon Aid applied to upper eyelid provides a soft, smooth and even-toned finish. Great, too, if you're not planning on wearing any eye shadow. Brush a light layer of T. LcClerc loose powder in Banane over your face with a large powder brush. This powder eliminates shadows and creates a glowing finish without adding any color. Hollywood make-up artists favorite.
4. Add a sheer sun-kissed glow with Benefit Dallas. For a more natural look, use your big powder brush and not the little flat one that comes with it. Apply to forehead above each eyebrow, sweeping down over your temples and high on your cheekbones.
5. Use your finger tip to apply a thin wash of metallic cream eye color to the lid only (below the crease). I like Laura Mercier's in Ally or Burnished Copper. I have some that I like from Stila but I believe they must have discontinued them.
6. Use an eyeshadow brush to apply a mushroom shade of powder eyeshadow to the crease. Sonia Kushak has one at Target in "Latte" that's perfect (and cheap). Highlight under browbone with Benefit High Brow. Blend well with ring finger.
7. Apply a thin line of Bobbie Brown gel eye liner to upper lash line. The color you choose depends on the color of the cream eye color you've applied. I especially like her new iridescent "shimmer ink" tones.
8. Use a dampened eye brow brush to brush brows and upper lashes. Wetting the brush will allow it to pick up loose powder that's deposited itself. Use a lash curler on upper lashes. Apply a single coat of your favorite mascara.
9. Lipstick. Oh, the possibilities are endless. Bobbie Brown has some great sandwash colors as well as these SPF 15 Lipshines. If you prefer something a little more sheer and glossy for the summer, her Lip Tint SPF 15 is tried and true. (Great for wearing to the beach.) I have them in Tea Tint, Tea Rose Tint, Blossom Tint, Melon and Cherry Tint. Another great gloss option is Mac Lipglass which is thicker with a high-gloss, glass-like sheen. I have then in Lust, Chai, Spite, and Pink Lemonade (a favorite of Jennifer Aniston's). I even like Burt's Bees Lip Shimmer in Rhubarb, but I would caution against going for any of the lighter shades as they'll appear very white on your lips. I also recommend using a lip liner in a very natural shade - it helps to keep your lip color inside your lips. I use Mac Lip Pencil in Cedar everyday. Find one that very closely matches your natural lip color. Remember, it's not the color but the wax that keeps your lipcolor in place.
Don't forget to send me your "before" and "after" photos! I'll try & take a few of my own but I'm not that good at taking self-portraits.

To be nominated by an institution and receive this honor, a student-athlete must maintain a minimum grade point average of 3.5 on a 4.0 scale and have achieved junior academic status. It takes a great deal of hard work and determination to achieve this award amidst the day-to-day responsibilities of class attendance, homework, practice, travel, and game days. However, student-athletes at College of the Ozarks have the added responsibility of juggling their work station as well. All full-time students at C of O, including all student-athletes, are required to work at an on-campus job 15 hours per week in exchange for free tuition. Great job, Collan!

Activision Blizzard's next big eSports franchise might be a game you've never heard of
When it comes to market leading video game developer and publisher Activision Blizzard, investors tend to have a fairly limited knowledge of the actual games in their stable. Usually, investors know the following names: World of Warcraft, Candy Crush, Call of Duty, and Overwatch. One name that is left out of that list for now, but soon may not be, is Hearthstone – a popular digital card game that generates little revenue compared to its more famous peers, but has managed to add 30 million players in the last 15 months. According to some observers, it could be perfectly positioned to become the company's next big eSports franchise.
Activision Blizzard's share price has dropped by 2% in the last 5 days
Source: Yahoo Finance
Activision Blizzard is top dog in eSports – definitely in the west, and maybe worldwide. The reason is that Activision mixed brains with bravery and made the first move – its Overwatch League was a calculated risk, and it paid off… big time. Investors have come around to the idea that another one of the company's major franchises Call of Duty is headed for a similar treatment. In the company's recent third-quarter earnings report, CEO Bobby Kotick said that Activision was "actively advancing how the Overwatch League model and infrastructure will be applied to Call of Duty and other franchises."
That puts Activision Blizzard in a brilliant position. According to Goldman Sachs, the eSports market could triple in size over the next five years to $3 billion. Kotick has even greater ambitions, writing, in his 2017 letter to shareholders: "Over time we believe our esports initiatives could rival traditional sports for audience interest, advertisers, sponsors, ticket sales and merchandise sales (both virtual and physical)." Beyond Overwatch, and beyond Call of Duty, Hearthstone could play into those ambitions.
Hearthstone is a free-to-play digital card game that gathers revenue from in-game purchases (the purchases, in this case, being sets of digital cards). There are three good points about this set-up: the first is that the 'freemium' model, as it's called, represents a low-barrier to entry, meaning a good game can quickly amass a huge fan following (Hearthstone currently has 100 million players). The second point is that freemium is a particularly good business model for this game. The whole idea is to collect a selection of the best cards possible – that means buying new packs has a deep effect on how the game actually plays, hence incentivising players to purchase them. The last point is that, while Hearthstone is not a huge revenue earner, the margins are probably incredible – creating digital cards is far less expensive than programming more complex games which involve teams of writers, voice actors, 3D software modellers and more.
Here's the real kick though: people love watching Hearthstone be played. It's constantly featured in the top ten most-watched games on Twitch, Amazon's live-streaming video game channel. There's not really anything to it – you're just watching two people play cards on a screen – but somehow, people spent 22 million hours watching it (watching – not playing) in October alone!
Overwatch and Call of Duty are both big, bombastic titles that feature plenty of action and lend themselves well to team eSports. Hence, it's understandable why Activision Blizzard would focus on them first. But let's be clear: Hearthstone looks like it could be an eSports phenomenon just waiting to happen.

Public Radio + Summer Sale
Posted June 19, 2009on:
"Public Radio" is one of the coolest shirts I've seen in a long time. Lowdtown Friends & Freaks is a company run by Ray Masaki that started earlier this year. Each of the tees features a character in this fictional Lowdtown that Masaki has created, and DJ from "Public Radio" is my favorite so far. If you're into fun, musically themed tees, then this t-shirt is worth a look!
Printed on a white American Apparel tee, "Public Radio" takes the spotlight by featuring a one-of-a-kind character not seen anywhere else. The CYMK is a wonderful color scheme for this design, and I don't think that any other colorway could have been more perfect. Masaki made DJ quite a stylish character, and it's nice to see him have a unique urban style, as it fits his job description. I also love the bubbles coming out of the turntable that make it look like DJ is creating music right on your shirt and casting it to the whole Lowdtown world.
Right now Lowdtown is having their summer sale, where all tees are over 25% off! You can even get an additional 10% off by using the coupon code "lovingthistee"! If you like "Public Radio," I'd suggest you pick one up now while they're on sale. Check out their other amazing tees as well!
$16 at Lowdtown Friends & Freaks, Available in Men's S-XL and Women's S-L

Donald Trump's idiocy isn't exactly a secret — The Washington Globe recently analyzed the 69-year-old presidential candidate's speech patterns and determines he speaks at a fourth-grade level. Oof.
But it isn't only adults who think Trump is a moron: Third graders, it turns out, do too.
On Thursday, Bayan Sabouri, a teacher in Colombus, Ohio, shared one of his students' Martin Luther King Day essays to Facebook.
The short piece, which begins "I have a dream…," slams Donald Trump, his immigration policies, and lays out some of the horrible things that could happen if Trump were to become president.
It is, quite simply, the best thing you will ever see.
I don't want to spoil the fun, so check out the poetic piece in its full glory, below.

"Pow Wow Highway" free showing Aug. 12 in Carrizozo
The 1989 drama/comedy won the Filmmakers Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival
The August selection for the New Mexico Second Sunday Movie series in Carrizozo is "Pow Wow Highway."
Partially filmed in Santa Fe, the movie is an exploration of what it means to be a warrior in a modern-day tribal community. The 1989 drama/comedy won the Filmmakers Trophy at the Sundance Film Festival. The majority of the cast and the novelist on which the film is based are Native American.
The movie is rated R for adult situations, language and brief nudity, and may not be suitable for sensitive audiences
"Pow Wow Highway" will be shown at 2 p.m., Sunday, Aug. 12, at the Carrizozo Library and Book Store.
The movie is part political and part spiritual. Buddy Red Bow, an activist on the Pine Ridge reservation, is facing increasing frustration as the injustices against modern-day Native Americans mount. Red Bow is living in a world defined by AIM, Leonard Peltier and the Wounded Knee incident of 1973. His friend, Philbert Bono is on a spiritual journey, gathering tokens to connect with his ancestors. They embark on a road trip where they meet a warrior of a different sort who adds a new perspective and way of thinking to the role of culture in the face of the loss of self.
The free movie showing is possible through Eastern New Mexico University-Ruidoso Community Education. For more information, contact Lisa at 336-4061.

At the end of last month, legendary American actress, comedian, author and mental health campaigner Ruby Wax arrived in Southampton for the next stop of her book tour for How To Be Human: The Manual.
How To Be Human certainly doesn't take on an easy task: the book aims to discuss how humans have evolved throughout history. Ultimately, while we may have evolved physically from our primate ancestors and grappled with survival, us humans still struggle to thrive – especially in today's society. Humans have experienced great difficulty learning to adapt emotionally and navigate against the pressures and demands of modern everyday life. Luckily, with the help of renowned neuroscientist Dr Ash Ranpura, and Buddhist monk Gelong Thubten, Wax explains the weird and wonderful ways in which our minds work.
A very excited Emily took this picture just before the show started.
During the first half of the show, Wax stood on stage alone, offering a unique and incredibly comedic take on human behaviour and emotion. Despite a technical issue meaning that she was without her trusty Powerpoint slides, Wax continued to exude her usual zany persona, bantering with the audience about all things human: family, romance, and work. One of her most memorable lines from the night involved exclaiming to an audience member that "you share 20% of your DNA with a banana – get over yourself!"* Funnier still was Wax's admission that a male member of the audience had taken her fancy, and that she found herself being distracted by him being "incredibly attractive."
*(Reader discretion advised: Ruby admitted not all statistics she quotes over the course of the show are factually correct. Some are prone to slight exaggeration.)
Quirky, engaging and wise, the first half of the show saw Wax offer an accessible overview into what makes human beings tick, and how we have developed throughout our history. We've gone from being savvy hunters, to social-media-obsessed beings – we'd struggle to fight off a bear considering the pang of anxiety that builds when emails begin to pile up in our inboxes.
The stage was set ready for Ruby Wax.
After a brief interval, Wax was joined on stage by Dr Ash Ranpura and Gelong Thubten. The complimentary fusion of neurology and spirituality – specifically mindfulness inspired by Buddhist teachings – brought by Wax's two companions offered an intriguing insight into why we often find ourselves so overwhelmed and frazzled when confronted with the deceptively simple task of being a well-adjusted, and functioning human being. As Wax explained, our society is bound by a fierce culture of comparison, in which we have forgotten the importance of collectivism and community, becoming increasingly egocentric and selfish in our needs. We have begun to lack compassion and empathy for others, and become experts in neglecting our mental and physical health. All this under the misguided view that we must maintain the pretence that we are happy, carefree individuals.
Having covered all areas of discussion that were scripted, Wax, Ranpura and Thubten then each took turns answering questions asked by various audience members. The questions raised were incredibly interesting, but even more thought-provoking was the careful, thorough and considerate responses provided by each of the show's co-hosts. One audience member, for example, asked for Thubten's own personal take on the differences between compassion and empathy. Interestingly, he likened empathy to drowning, which is far more passive and suffocating. Compassion, by contrast, he paralleled to swimming: it is more of an active process, motivated by action and intent to make difference.
I don't know about any of you, but that answer really struck a chord with me and made me consider how us humans can support a person in need and elevate them in a way that isn't detrimental to our own wellbeing. It's important to be compassionate for our fellow man, and to practise looking after ourselves with the same priority we give to looking after others.
The stars of the show midway through the Q&A session, which concluded the evening's hilarious, yet informative, show.
Ruby Wax's How To Be Human: The Manual, Live made for an incredibly enriching and rewarding evening – not only was it entertaining, with Wax's humour providing comic relief amid the science-y brain stuff, but it was also taught something incredibly profound: how we can be human.

A few weeks ago, I had the privilege of traveling to the front range of Colorado to work on a new Canyon Collected (www.canyoncollected.com) music video titled Bags. Bags should be out in about a month. Naturally, those guys are some of my best friends and they never have two nickles to pay me. Although they do a wonderful job of making sure nothing production or travel wise costs me a single cent for which I'm grateful. I said to Leon the banjo picker " umm bro, I'm taking a week off of work to come down there, can you find me a real gig for the day"? And sometimes in life when you ask, you receive. Leon ended up playing middleman and connected me with a wonderful dinner theatre based out of Ft. Collins.
Midtown Art Center is a multifaceted complex of Theatre and Stage arts based out of Ft. Collins Colorado. MAC is known for bringing the most relevant Broadway shows as well as original productions to their quaint dinner theatre at an affordable cost.
Hey Guys,
Check out a new video by Tai Katz. He's a hip-hop/R&B artist based out of Los Angeles. My boy Colter Olmstead (www.vectorvisuals.com) directed, shot and edited this piece. I had the privilege of working as a second cinematographer. Also a huge shout out to our boy Alex Emmons who just killed it as our Gaffer.
Here's another installation from our studio session with my good friend Leon Elam of Canyon Collected (www.canyoncollected.com). Thanks again to my good friend Colter Olmstead (www.vectorvisuals.com) for operating one of the cameras as well as recording live sound among many other things. Couldn't have done it without him.
Hey Guys,
My good friend Leon Elam of Canyon Collected (www.canyoncollected.com) buzzed through Bozeman a few weeks back and lo behold the above video is the first of three installments from our studio session. Thanks a bunch to my good friend Colter Olmstead (www.vectorvisuals.com) for operating one of the cameras as well as recording live sound. Couldn't have done it without him.
Hey Guys,
So a few years ago, I wrote this short caption on my blog highlighting my brief experience with Diamond Leibe in Yellowstone National Park. I submitted the image as well as the caption to Mountain Outlaw's Portrait Photography Contest and it placed as a finalist. Check out the image below. You can also click this link www.explorebigsky.com/photocontest to vote on it for the peoples choice favorite. If it wins, I get some cool prizes. Therefore, I need your help and I can't do it without you. The other image below Diamond is my latest cover shot on the first ever issue of Explore Yellowstone Magazine. As always, thanks for viewing.
This is a new photograph of mine which Mountain Outlaw Magazine just showcased in the Outbound Gallery of their most recent summer spread.
I took the image on the upper geyser basin in Yellowstone National Park.
Cheers to the art director and designers, I think the layout works great.

Source: Agrible news release
Farmers growing high oleic soybeans in the Midwest now have an opportunity to use cutting-edge software and measure the sustainability of the high oleic crop through a soy checkoff-supported program. The soy checkoff's High Oleic Sustainability Program is available for farmers growing high oleic soybeans in Ohio and Indiana, and Agrible is proud to provide data and analysis tools to support this program. The soy checkoff and Agrible are actively looking for more farmers who are interested in participating.
Sustainable farming is a top priority for both organizations. This shared mission led to the creation of a sustainability program that combines farm information with Agrible's crop modeling and predictive weather analysis system. This helps farmers easily see the big picture overview of their operation and make more informed management decisions.
Individual farmers who participate contribute anonymous sustainability data from their high oleic acres to the program. The program uses one set of aggregated indicators to talk about all high oleic soybean acres. At the same time, participating farmers compare their data to local watershed averages for high oleic yield, soil health, and more. When farmers compare how the results of their high oleic soybean management system track against others, they can focus their efforts and understand the results of their on-farm improvements.
"This program will benefit all U.S. soybean farmers by accurately showing how U.S. farmers are working hard to protect the environment and continually improving every aspect of their farms," says Nancy Kavazanjian, a Wisconsin soybean farmer and soy checkoff farmer-leader. "Having verified metrics to prove our sustainability should make high oleic soybeans even more attractive to buyers, and ultimately consumers. Agrible's data platform is a natural fit for this project due to its software abilities and its relationship as a qualified data management partner with Field to Market, an industry-wide alliance for sustainable agriculture."
For more information and to sign up to be a part of the program, visit: http://unitedsoybean.org/HOSSUSTAINABILITY/

First Wedding Since Moving!
Just wanted to share my excitement–I officially got my first commissioned wedding since moving up to Connecticut! It's not for another few months (it's in April), but I'm super excited!
The wedding is going to be at the Carousel Museum in Bristol, CT…probably going to be the coolest location for a wedding I've photographed yet!
This wedding is also going to be a little bit different for me because it will be the first one I've done since writing up a wedding photographer contract. It wasn't a thought that had crossed my mind before (which was stupid of me), but after hearing horror stories of photographers who didn't have contracts getting sued for stupid things, I figured I should definitely make one up to cover my butt. 😉 I found a wedding photographer contract online and made my own based on it, rewording a bunch of things to fit my personal situation and such. It looks really nice, I think!
I'm kind of a timid person when it comes to talking business stuff (I'm completely comfortable having a conversation about my life or your life, but when it comes down to talking about signing contracts for legal purposes, I get nervous), so I was really glad that the bride, so far, has been wonderful in terms of having no problem signing the contract and sending it to me….hopefully the wedding will go just as smoothly! *knock on wood*
If anyone else is a wedding photographer and would like a copy of the wedding photographer contract that I made, just send me an email (NEWLY ADDED–look on the right sidebar to see how!) asking me for it, and I'd be happy to pass it along. 🙂

The other day, the University of Chicago sent a letter out to incoming freshman telling them that the school does not support "trigger warnings" and "safe spaces". Many conservatives, and some liberals, applauded this decision as it defied the trend of schools becoming oversensitive and coddling their students rather than challenging their minds and beliefs. One teeny tiny itsy bitsy problem with that though: that's not what trigger warnings and safe spaces do.
People seem to think that a trigger warning is a new idea millennials made up to keep our oversensitive minds from gaining new and challenging information. In reality, however, trigger warning are anything but new; research about them actually boomed after the Vietnam War. According to PsychCentral, a trigger is "something that sets off a memory tape or flashback transporting the person back to the event of her/his original trauma." Therefore, a trigger warning is simply a warning to keep people who might be set off by the subject matter from revisiting their previous trauma. Many veterans with PTSD utilize trigger warnings to prevent reverting back to their on-edge and instinctual behavior they had when in combat.
Safe spaces on the other hand are often considered to be places where liberal college students go to avoid being subject to differing political opinions. Once again, however, a simple Google search can disprove that notion. According to SafeSpaceNetwork, they are actually "[places] where anyone can relax and be able to fully express, without fear of being made to feel uncomfortable, unwelcome, or unsafe on account of biological sex, race/ethnicity, sexual orientation, gender identity or expression, cultural background, religious affiliation, age, or physical or mental ability." In short, "a place where the rules guard each person's self-respect and dignity and strongly encourage everyone to respect others." Now, let's be very clear: homophobia, racism, transphobia, sexism, etc. are not political opinions.
Most people advocating for safe spaces and trigger warnings aren't these "oversensitive crybabies" that people are setting them out to be. Of course there are some outliers that abuse the terms and resources to suppress other people's viewpoints, but outliers exist in every group. These tools and methods are simply trying to keep people safe; when did that become a bad thing? Most criticism describes these practices are ways to suppress non-liberal politics, however this simply isn't true. Different opinions on healthcare, elections, etc. are welcome as long as they are done so without hostility and bigotry. The real suppression comes from the people actively trying to dismiss and ridicule trigger warnings and safe spaces. Rather than actually hear the supporters out, they are automatically mocked for their ideas, which is pretty ironic.
The main reason people on the political right tend to disagree with safe spaces is because of bigotry. Many people misconstrue their bigoted and ignorant beliefs for political opinions, when they're really not. Believing that trans people are disgusting is not political; it's just not. Disagreeing with black lives matter can be a political opinion to be discussed in a safe space, but getting mad and saying "black people are criminals by nature" is not welcome. That's a bigoted, ignorant, inflammatory, and racist remark. Therefore that kind of speech is not tolerated in safe spaces. If you don't get it by now: the only things not welcome in safe spaces are bigotry and hatred. So being anti-safespace is being pro-bigotry. That's not even a big jump or assumption, that's simply being able to interpret words of the english language without injecting my own prejudice into them.

Senior New Zealand police officers have told local media that the force needs a new face recognition system.
Police national forensic services manager Inspector John Walker, of Wellington, told the Otago Times that NZ Police are currently acquiring a new image management system and advanced facial recognition technology.
The newspaper added that he said it was reviewing proposals from several companies supplying such systems.
The police's present facial recognition system was outdated and rarely used, he said. "It's become obsolete and it doesn't have any practical application,''
The newspaper report noted that any new system would be able to identify people from still images taken from CCTV footage, but it would not extend to real-time tracking of people's faces.
"It's not planned for live streaming, it's planned for identifying an offender that's just smacked someone over on CCTV.''
