By Beverly Bird
You love your pet—he's like your child, after all—but the IRS doesn't quite see it that way. The IRS takes the position that the money you spend on Fido or Fluffy is generally a personal expense. Your pet gives you pleasure like that latte you bought on your way to work this morning, but just like your cup of coffee isn't tax deductible, neither is your pet.

By Dana Dratch
If you can afford it, it might be simple to pay off your mortgage earlier. But should you? That's a complicated question.
Homeowners with low mortgage rates may be better off putting extra money in a Roth IRA or 401(k), both of which might offer a higher return than paying off the mortgage.

The State of New Mexico and its communities offer employers aggressive incentives to encourage job creation and investment. Our financial incentives are designed to be an ongoing benefit meaning companies are rewarded for future expansions, so new and existing companies both can utilize these programs.
The flagship New Mexico Job Training Incentive program offers economic base companies a cash reimbursement for on-the-job training. The refundable High Wage Jobs Tax Credit supports job creators that pay $40,000 or more in rural areas and $60,000 in urban areas with a tax credit equal to 10% of the employee's compensation.
New Mexico's property taxes are among the lowest the nation for both real and personal property. Property taxes can further abated through the use of an Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB). Communities across New Mexico have the ability to issues IRB's to support economic development projects. The State also provides an array of tax credits/incentives to offset gross receipts and compensating taxes such as those on manufacturing equipment as well as other industry specific credits.
New Mexico offers employers located in rural communities incentive enhancements as well as the Rural Jobs Tax Credit, which provides a credit for each job created in a rural area.
Contact the New Mexico Partnership today for a customized incentives analysis.
Closing Fund – Local Economic Development Act (LEDA)
Discretionary state incentive that can be used towards land, building or infrastructure. Amount is determined on a project by project basis. The state of New Mexico just increases its LEDA amount for the FY17 (July 1,2016 through June 30,2017) of $50 million.
Corporate Income Tax Reduction
The State of New Mexico approved a five year phased reduction of corporate income tax from the current top rate of 7.6% to 5.9%.
Corporate Income Tax Reduction Phases
|$500,000 – $1 million
|>$1 million
In addition, the bill phases in a single sales factor apportionment methodology for the income of multi-state corporations, whose principal business activity is manufacturing and regional headquarters, over the same 5-year period.
Single Sales Factor for Manufacturers and Regional Headquarters
Effective in taxable year starting January 1,2014, businesses engaged in manufacturing and regional headquarter operations may choose to take part in the phased-in single sales factor apportionment for calculation of their corporate income tax liability.
|Phase-In Apportionment Formula
|Double-Weighted Sales
|Triple-Weighted Sales
|70% Sales
|80% Sales
|Single Sales Factor
Industrial Revenue Bond (IRB)
Industrial Revenue Bonds allow for significant real and personal property tax and compensating tax exemptions. Terms vary by community.
Job Training Incentive Program (JTIP)
The state's highly flexible JTIP program offers a cash reimbursement to a business for on-the-job training for qualified employees of qualified employers. Customized training may be provided by post-secondary educational institutions, company trainers, or outside trainer. Click here for more information.
High Wage Jobs Tax Credit
This credit gives companies who hire employees at salaries of $40K or higher in rural areas, and $60K or higher in urban communities, tax credits equal to ten percent of salary for the year in which the job is created, and for the three following qualifying periods.
Consumables Gross Receipts Tax Deduction for Manufacturers
A seller may deduct receipts from sales to a manufacturer of tangible personal property that becomes an ingredient or component part of a manufactured product.
For the purposes of this deduction, "consumable" is defined as tangible personal property that is incorporated into, destroyed, depleted, or transformed in the process of manufacturing a product, including electricity, fuels, water, manufacturing aids and supplies, chemicals, gases, repair parts, spares, and other tangibles used to manufacture a product.
Manufacturers Investment Tax Credit
Manufacturers may take a credit against gross receipts, compensating or withholding taxes equal to 5.125% of the value of qualified equipment when the following employment conditions are met:
- For every $500,000 of equipment, 1 employee must be added up to $30 million; and
- For amounts exceeding $30 million, 1 employee must be added for each $1 million of equipment
The credit may (also) be claimed for equipment acquired under an IRB. This is a double benefit because no gross receipts or compensating tax was paid on the purchase or importation of the equipment.
The manufacturer simply reduces its tax payment to the state (by as much as 85% per reporting period) until the amount of investment credit is exhausted. There also are provisions for issuing a refund when the credit balance falls under $500,000. The credit does not apply against local gross receipts taxes.

The credit may be taken against compensating tax, gross receipts tax (excluding the local options portion of the gross receipts tax), and withholding tax. The credit may be carried forward for up to three years.
An additional 5 percent (10 percent in rural areas) may be applied against state income tax if base payroll expenses increase by at least $75,000 per $1,000,000 of expenditures claimed. The credit may be carried forward.

Jesse H. Neal National Business Journalism Award
Simson L. Garfinkel (born 1965), joined the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Gaithersberg, Maryland, in January 2015 as Senior Advisor, Information Access Division.[citation needed] His current research includes privacy and data de-identification.
Garfinkel was formerly an Associate Professor at the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California from 2006 to January 2015. Garfinkel is regarded as a leader in the fields of digital forensics and usable security. In addition to his academic work, Garfinkel is a journalist, an entrepreneur, and an inventor; his work in all three is concerned with computer security, privacy, and information technology.
Garfinkel is the author or co-author of 14 books, and the author of more than a thousand articles.[1] He is a contributing writer for Technology Review[2] and has written as a freelancer for many publications including Wired magazine, The Boston Globe, Privacy Journal and CSO Magazine. His work for CSO Magazine earned him five regional and national journalism awards, including the Jesse H. Neal Business Journalism Awards in 2003 and 2004.[3]
As an entrepreneur, Garfinkel founded Vineyard.NET, an Internet service provider on Martha's Vineyard, and Sandstorm Enterprises, a computer security firm that develops advanced computer forensic tools used by businesses and governments to audit their systems. Garfinkel holds six patents,[4] mostly in the field of computer security.
Garfinkel obtained three SB degrees from MIT in 1987; a MS in journalism from Columbia University in 1988; and a PhD in computer science from MIT in 2005. He was a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Research on Computation and Society at Harvard University from September 2005 through August 2008.[5] In 2012 he was named a Fellow of the ACM.[6] Today Garfinkel lives in Arlington, Virginia.
Garfinkel's early research was in the field of optical storage. While he was an undergraduate at the MIT Media Laboratory Garfinkel developed CDFS, the first file system for write-once optical disk systems.[7] During the summer of 1987 he worked at Brown University's IRIS Project, where he developed a server allowing CDROMs to be shared over a network simultaneously by multiple workstations.[8]
In 1991, while a Senior Editor at NeXTWORLD Magazine, Garfinkel created an address book program for the NeXT Computer called SBook. One of SBook's most popular features was a search field that performed a full-text search of all of the records in the address book with each keypress. This kind of search is now standard on many computer programs, including Apple's Mail application and Mozilla Thunderbird. It is believed that SBook was the first program to incorporate this kind of search technology.
In 1995, Garfinkel moved to Martha's Vineyard and started Vineyard.NET, the Vineyard's first Internet Service Provider. Vineyard.NET was bought by Broadband2Wireless, a wireless ISP, in 2000. The company went bankrupt in September 2001,[9] and Garfinkel bought Vineyard.NET back from the bankruptcy court.
In 2003, Garfinkel and Abhi Shelat published an article in IEEE Security & Privacy Magazine reporting on an experiment in which they purchased 158 used hard drives from a variety of sources and checked to see whether they still contained readable data. Roughly one third of the drives appeared to have information that was highly confidential and should have been erased prior to the drive's resale.
In 2006, Garfinkel introduced cross-drive analysis, an unsupervised machine learning algorithm for automatically reconstructing social networks from hard drives and other kinds of data carrying devices that are likely to contain pseudo-unique information.[10]
In September 2006, Garfinkel joined the faculty of the Naval Postgraduate School (NPS) in Monterey, California, as an Associate Professor of Computer Science.[11] He moved to Arlington, Virginia, in June 2010 to help NPS with its research aims in the National Capital Region.

Posted by: Shivansh Verma // tweetShivansh | Wednesday, November 25, 2015 | Labels: Blogger Tips
Of course, there are millions of pages available on the internet. You can take the example of this page too. It's also on the internet whether you have got it from the search engine or social media or any email or internal links. It's on the internet. Now, as we considered that there are millions of pages on the internet, then there should be thousands of pages that are about same subject or contain info about the same topic but in their own language. Don't you think that nowadays, there would have been a big problem to find valuable content if search engines like Google and Yahoo and Bing had not come into existence?
Now, I know that the search engine, Google gives the search results according to the value of the site. But, the thing is the tool that decides that the site is valuable or has relevant content or not, is just "robots" or machines. They decided this, on the basis of the following things:
Now, I know that the search engine, Google gives the search results according to the value of the site. But, the thing is the tool that decides that the site is valuable or has relevant content or not, is just "robots" or machines. They decided this, on the basis of the following things:
- Content is copied or not;
- Content is unique or grammatically correct on not;
- Site's design is fast loading on not;
- Site's design is responsive or not;
- and upon some other things too.
Now, robots can also make mistakes. I mean, they can't provide you the right content every time. So, would you read every site or blog to ensure that the site you have opened have all the correct and relevant information about the subject you are searching for until you get it? I don't think so. That's why today, I will help you to know which content is delicious without reading it.
Today, I am going to tell you some ways by which you can ensure that the site or blog you are going to open or opened contain all the information about the thing you are searching or researching for. So, you will not waste much of your precious time.
Firstly, let's know what is delicious content.
Firstly, let's know what is delicious content.
What Do I Mean By "Delicious" Content?
Simply, the content with:
- The right information,
- Easy to read content,
- Trustworthy content,
- All information about any topic,
can be considered as delicious content.
Way #1. See Proper Formatting
Bloggers, or the admin of a website when writes a post, he always tries to make it the most favorited post on his blog. And in this approach, he makes his post's formatting easy to understand.
If, the content you are going to read isn't well formatted, then there can be some reasons like:
If, the content you are going to read isn't well formatted, then there can be some reasons like:
- The author has copied whole content from any other blog;
- He is not very excited to make his blog post most favourited because that blog post doesn't have much helpful content.
This way, you can examine that which content is copied or not, or the author of it is willing to make it easy to understand or not.
Way #2. See The Length Of Content
Usually, the lengthy post contains all information that you need. That's why it's lengthy. The content that you are going to read should be at least of 500 words.
Do you know? I don't like sites like TechCrunch and tech radar because they never give sufficient information about anything. They just post, post and publish but never include enough information about a single subject or topic in a single post.
So, you can get an idea that the page you have opened has sufficient information about a single topic or not, using this simple way.
Way #3. See The Writing Skills
In the definition of delicious content, I have written that the content should be easy to read. Now, to ensure that the content you are going to read doesn't have any grammatical mistakes or the writing skills are good, then consider reading the first paragraph of that post and get an idea of the writing skills. If, you can understand the first paragraph clearly, then the chances for good writing skills are strong.
Way #4. See The Description
Authors of good blogs or popular blogs always add a description to their posts. Those descriptions can be very useful for you if you want to get the idea of what the content is about and what-what you can get here.
To see the description of a particular post: Right click on the page > Select "View-source" (a new tab or window will open up) > Press Ctrl + F from your keyboard and then on the opened box, type "name='description'" and then you will find a code like this:
<meta content='A blogger web portal which guides newbie bloggers about how to get their blog popular on the crowd of other popular blogs.' name='description'/>You can then see the description of that page inside the content attribute. The bold code above is always different on every page and gives the description of the page in which you had right-clicked.
Way #5. See The Comments Section
To get an idea of the content that it is trustworthy or not, you can see comments section. If you found comments of the user that are disappointed by the content their, in a good amount, then be sure that the content present on that page is not good enough to make the visitors happy and is not trustworthy and working too.
Why Is This On Blogger Guider?
Undoubtedly, this post doesn't help you to make your blog improved. Right:? No! It helps. You can get a quick idea of what the shape of your content and description and comment section should be to make your blog's visitors happy and consider your post as trustworthy.
Final Words
I hope these five tips will help you in the time when you are forced or want to get any information on Internet fastly and correct and also helped you to make your blog more improved. Don't forget to share this content if you think that this post is valuable. Thanks!

NEW YORK CITY — The best way to elevate a concert experience is with an awe-inspiring light and visual show. This week, two masters in the art of melding light and music hit New York City's stage.
Brazilian artist Amon Tobin, a virtuoso sound designer and composer, brings his "ISAM" show to the Hammerstein Ballroom on Friday after acclaimed performances at the Sydney Opera House in Australia and the Sonar festival in Barcelona, Spain. To create the stunning projections and set that accompany his futuristic compositions, Tobin collaborated with cutting-edge VJ Vello Virkhaus and production studio Leviathan, finessing a technique called "projection mapping" — the practice of sculpting video content to match the surface geometry it's being projected on. See below for more information and links.
At NYU's Skirball Center for the Performing Arts, Joshua White brings what Rolling Stone described as "the most psychedelic light show of all time." His series of groundbreaking improvised music performances runs from Thursday to Sunday, starring artists as diverse as NYC rock icon Lou Reed, pioneering minimalist composer Terry Riley and indie-psychedelic poppers Ben Goldwasser and Andrew VanWyngarden of MGMT. Imagine viewing a concert from inside a lava lamp — White's specialty is "liquid light" — and you're getting close to the experience painted by this old-school master, who created light shows to accompany psychedelic music icons such as Jefferson Airplane, Jimi Hendrix and The Doors in the late 1960s.
Wednesday, September 12
With their first studio album in nine years, "La Futura," out this week, ZZ Top play the Beacon Theatre with their original lineup of Billy Gibbons, Dusty Hill and Frank Beard. After forming in Houston in 1970 and breaking through with the bluesy anthem "La Grange" from their third album "Tres Hombres" in 1973, ZZ Top have produced blues-infected rock, crossing over to stadium-level pop success in the early- to mid-'80s with hits like "Legs," "Sharp Dressed Man" and "Gimme All Your Lovin."
Also tonight: Brooklyn's psychedelic minstrels Yeasayer just released their third album, "Fragrant World," and are playing an all-ages SummerStage show at Central Park's Rumsey Playfield with pals Tanlines and Daedelus.
Thursday, September 13
Revered saxophone improviser Anthony Braxton makes his only NYC appearance for the year tonight at Roulette, 509 Atlantic Ave. in Brooklyn. Braxton will perform with two different ensembles — the Anthony Braxton Quartet and the Diamond Curtain Wall Music Ensemble.
Why? produce literate, classically influenced indie-pop with hints of hip-hop. And yes, that stylistic combination certainly makes them unique, and utterly engaging. At Music Hall of Williamsburg.
UK alt-rockers Maximo Park play Webster Hall.
Friday, September 14
Brazilian electronic music producer Amon Tobin brings his spectacular music and visuals to Hammerstein Ballroom. Touring behind his most recent album "ISAM" (Invented Sounds Applied to Music) Tobin has moved away from sampled vinyl recordings toward heavily processed field recordings, arranged in close, intricately edited patterns. Want to learn more? Tobin has released the full "ISAM" album with a track-by-track commentary on Soundcloud. For a preview of the epic live visuals applied to the music in concert, check out this on YouTube.
Also tonight: Founded in New York City in 1992 and later moving to Chicago in 1995, influential American record label Thrill Jockey is celebrating its 20th anniversary with some special live music.

Breakout Kings Review: What's at Steak?Christine Orlando at . Comments
With one bad decision, a life could be changed forever. This week the Breakout Kings team was faced with the consequences of their actions, both large and small.
It's been five years since Shea's had a steak dinner.
Suddenly "Steaks" were all this team could think about and Ray made a steak dinner the prize for whoever did the best job on the case.
When Julianne quipped that she should deprive herself of things so she'll enjoy them more Lloyd reminded her that he was well versed in deprivation. "I got 25 years. It's not an experiment. It's my life."
It's the little things, the taste of real coffee, the smell of perfume, the view from a window, that Lloyd relished. Like the steak dinner, it's all a reminder of the freedom they've lost.
This week's escapees were two of my favorites because they epitomized where bad luck and poor judgement could lead. McCann's parents were killed.
He ended up in foster care and eventually began pulling off home invasions.Oliver was a dumb kid who stole a car for a joy ride. When somebody died he ended up in prison where he was raped and tortured. A horrible accident, a poor decision, and a cruel turn of fate changed their lives forever.
Yet, every day offers a new road. McCann chose to escape. Oliver chose to kill the guard and the old man.
Lloyd, Shea, and Erica have chosen to work with Ray and Charlie so that they get that cup of real coffee, another month off of their sentence and a chance at that steak dinner. Nonetheless, they're still cons. Ray and Charlie didn't trust Shea when he pointed out that the guns were missing but I must say that his self pat down to prove he didn't take them was hilarious.
I thought Erica ripping up the coupon in front of Lloyd and Shea was almost cruel. I know she won but I felt for the boys. And although I agreed with Ray's assessment of Erica as the winner, I couldn't fault Shea for hesitating at the pharmacy. Those fugitives were armed. They'd already killed two people. A steak dinner or a month off of your sentence isn't very useful if you're dead.
Dealing with the consequences wasn't only happening to the cons. Charlie's heart condition came into play when he all but collapsed during a shootout. It figured that one of the those annoying singing Santa's would push his heart over the edge.
Charlie could have easily been killed but he continued to put himself in harms way despite his physical limitations. As Ray pointed out, that kind of decision puts his partner at risk too. Unfortunately for Ray, being a con himself, he's not left with many options.
With so much to lose, every member of this team has something at stake. It's what keeps me tuning in for more.

'Short Stories and Tall Tales' from Beggars Bridge - weave of tradition and edge of invention(September 24, 2015)
It seems an age, October 2012 in fact, since we reviewed the first album from Hull-based band, Beggar's Bridge. Back then there were four of them, now they're a six-piece and deliver 'Short Stories and Tall Tales' - once again, a collection of folk music that could only originate in 'England's green and pleasant'. Although the weave of tradition threads its way pure and strong through their music, an edge of invention and contemporary influence remains intensely in evidence. And that's part of their attraction, writing in the tradition combined with the freedom to originate their own style.
The album includes a couple of 'trad arr' tracks, with the rest written by the band's songwriters Alan Catton and Mark Pollard – and a fine job they do too. They explore folk traditions with songs about people, places and histories, each with a distinct flavour of their home county. Wider experience and the increase in members increases the depth their sound, expanding their music to allow far more scope. They open with the powerful 'Don't Forget', which reminds that power is only transitory, from there they pay homage to the indomitable Hannah Hauxwell with 'Daughter of The Dales' before the disturbing 'Peg Fyfe' recalls an infamous East Yorkshire witch and murderer. The album also includes a take on the familiar bawdy 'Bonnie Black Hare', the strange tale of 'The Gamecock Fleet', 'The Devil's Claw' narrating the perilous life of stokers 'below decks', and to end the extraordinary story of 'Charlie Peace'.
Beggar's Bridge have with 'Short Stories and Tall Tales' produced a memorable piece of folk rock. The band is Alan Catton (guitars, mandolin) Mark Pollard (vocals) Sam Martyn (vocals, whistle, harmonium) Martin Hainstock (bass) Dave Watts (violin) and David 'Spud' Jordan (percussion) - find them here: www.beggars-bridge.co.uk

Vicki Sue Robinson (May 31, 1954 – April 27, 2000) was an American theatre and film actress and singer, closely associated with the disco era of late 1970s pop music; she is most famous for her 1976 hit, "Turn the Beat Around."
Born in Harlem, New York, to African-American Shakespearean actor Bill Robinson and his European-American wife Marianne, a folk singer. Vicki Sue Robinson was reared in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, for most of her early years, returning with her family to New York City when she was ten. She had given her first public performance in 1960 at the age of six, when she accompanied her mother on stage at the Philadelphia Folk Festival. Ten years later, at the age of sixteen, while a student at the New Lincoln School, Robinson made her professional performing debut when she joined the Broadway cast of the musical Hair. Robinson remained with Hair for six weeks before moving to a new Broadway production, Soon, whose cast included Peter Allen, Barry Bostwick, Nell Carter and Richard Gere.

Wheaton native swims English Channel
After more than 12 hours in bone-chilling water, Wheaton native Marian Cardwell arrived on the shore south of Wissant, France, Friday afternoon having accomplished her goal of swimming the English Channel.
Cardwell arrived shortly after 3 p.m. Chicago time, having set out from Dover, England, more than 12 hours earlier. The 22-year-old swimmer made the crossing to raise money for the Chicago Diabetes Project in honor of her uncle, Wally Filkin of Wheaton, who has suffered from Type 1 diabetes since he was a teenager.
"I'm really excited for what she's been able to do. That's an unbelievable accomplishment," Filkin said from his home in Wheaton shortly after Cardwell's arrival in France.
Her aunt, Kaye Filkin of Wheaton, said they had not yet heard about the conditions of the water or the size of the waves during Cardwell's swim. The shortest distance across the channel is 21 miles, but swimmers are forced to swim in an S curve because of the currents.
Originally scheduled to start her swim between July 10 and 18, Cardwell had been delayed for days by rainy and windy weather in England creating doubt whether she would be able to make the crossing at all. She had trained for the swim for nine months while serving as an English teaching assistant in Lille, France, during the past school year.
Her parents and sister accompanied her on a boat driven by a pilot experienced in channel crossings.
Cardwell set a goal of raising $45,000 for the Chicago Diabetes Project. Her blog, doverandover.com, reported Friday she had raised $13,750. Those who want to contribute may donate through the website or send checks made out to the Chicago Diabetes Project with Marian Cardwell's name in the memo line to Katie Marchetti, Marketing Research Specialist, University of Illinois Hospital and Health Systems, 840 S.

In case you haven't found the information you were looking for, we've put together some of the most common questions our customers ask about our trips. If you need more specific answers, please contact us directly.
From Queenstown to Manapouri by car or coach takes around 2 hrs 45 mins and from Te Anau around 30 minutes. For more information refer to our Driving Times webpage.
Yes, we have plenty of free parking at Manapouri. Daytime car parking is provided adjacent to the Visitor Centre. Overnight car parking is a available on View St, a short 2 minute walk from our Manapouri Visitor Centre.
Milford Sound at the mountainous north end of Fiordland National Park is the classic fiord - a deep water inlet between steep sided high mountains. Milford Sound is a middle-sized fiord at around 13 kms in length and it is famous for its dramatic scenery, especially Mitre Peak. This fiord is the most accessible of Fiordland National Park's 14 fiords and it can be reached by road (coach or car) or by flight connections from Queenstown.
Doubtful Sound is located in the heart of Fiordland National Park where the mountains are still very impressive but not as high as Milford Sound. Doubtful Sound is three times longer and has a sea surface area roughly ten times larger than Milford Sound. Its three arms are Hall, Crooked and First Arm. It is famous for its wilderness scenery and wildlife sightings. To travel to Doubtful Sound visitors first take a launch trip across Lake Manapouri and coach over Wilmot Pass.
Visitors with enough time choose to experience both fiords as they have different characters.
Fiordland's weather is what gives the region its unique character. Rainfall is what makes Fiordland a land of lakes, rivers, streams, waterfalls and fiords. Visitors should always be prepared to enjoy some rainfall during their stay. It is recommended to bring sensible clothing for cool and wet weather to fully appreciate your stay.
The temperatures you can expect in the different seasons are as follows:
Many say you have not seen Fiordland unless you have seen it in the rain. When it rains in Fiordland the landscape is dramatic - rock faces stream with waterfalls, mist hangs around the tops of the mountains and rivers and streams rage. From a dry comfortable vantage point on board the coach or vessel this landscape is spectacular.
If you have booked a coach and cruise to Milford Sound or Doubtful Sound our coaches pick up from most accommodation in Queenstown and Te Anau. When booking either from our website or directly with our staff, please let us know if you want to be picked up from your accommodation or from our Visitor Centre.
We operate round trip combined 'coach & Doubtful Sound cruise' excursions departing Te Anau & Queenstown. However if you want to depart Queenstown and return to Te Anau (or depart Te Anau and return to Queenstown), then please contact us directly firstname.lastname@example.com as these trips are NOT bookable on the Real Journeys website.
While we cannot guarantee you will see wildlife, sightings of fur seals are reasonably common in both Doubtful and Milford Sounds. A pod of bottlenose dolphins resides in Doubtful Sound so you have a good chance of seeing these fascinating mammals, and in Milford Sound dolphins are occasional visitors. In both sounds the rare Fiordland crested penguin can at times be observed.
Access is not always possible as it is a working power station. However due to ongoing maintenance the Manapouri Underground Power Station is currently CLOSED and re-opening date is yet to be confirmed. Next update October 2018.
Most people choose to visit the power station as it is very interesting. For those who choose not to visit the power station* there is the option of staying longer in the informative West Arm Visitor Centre. *Due to ongoing maintenance the Manapouri Underground Power Station is currently CLOSED and re-opening date is yet to be confirmed. Next update October 2018.

The outdoor rock concert was a staple of the 1970s, and 35 years ago the Triangle had a number of offerings for music fans. Former N&O writer Howard Troxler reported on the student-organized Springfest concert on the UNC-Chapel Hill campus in 1979.
The triple-header bill included Nantucket, a rock band based in Raleigh, and the Spinners, a soul band famous for Top 40 hits that include "One of a Kind Love Affair," and "Rubberband Man."
But the biggest draw of the evening concert was Jimmy Buffett, a self-styled "son of a sailor" whose easygoing, summertime tunes are popular among many college students.
Organizers had predicted an attendance of 13,000, but shortly after Nantucket hit the stage at 5 p.m., police estimated the crowd at 20,000.
The crowd came from all across the state. Most brought ice chests with beer or liquor, lunch and the traditional Frisbees to throw about the stadium before the music started.
When Jimmy Buffett strode on stage, the roar matched that at any UNC football game.
"I think this is the greatest," said UNC sophomore Kenny Barnwell. "Where else can so many people get together and get wild? We'll party now while we can, because we have to study soon," he said.
"The best thing about this is that it's not disco," said freshman Chris Charles.
The outdoor spring music festival was the first of its kind since 1970, when the annual concert – called Jubilee – was discontinued due to the damage to grounds by concert-goers and other problems.
Seventeen UNC policemen and 40 student marshals were on hand to contain the crowd, and they spent much of their time chasing gate-crashers, police said.
At one gate, an officer turned to chase someone who had jumped the fence, and eight more came over the fence while he was busy.
"This is ridiculous," another officer said. "I've had three 80-yard dashes already. I feel like I'm in a track meet." The N&O 4/22/1979
But the summer was just getting started. Just a few weeks later, fans gathered at N.C. State's Carter Stadium to hear more bands. Former N&O writer Steve Levin captured the scene.
The sun beat down, people passed out from the heat and concession stands ran out of food, but the bands played on to the delight of about 40,000 rock fans at Carter Stadium.
The all-day concert, featuring big-name bands Boston, The Outlaws, Poco and Van Halen, was a 12-hour affair, beginning when the gates were opened at 10 a.m.
Shade was the most sought after commodity at the concert, although large soft drinks, souvenir T-shirts and marijuana also were in high demand.
"All I can say is, 'Airborne!'" exulted David L. Turner of Fort Bragg. Turner and a friend left the stadium at 5 p.m., he said, partly to rest and partly to drink some beers before returning to hear The Outlaws.
Security officials at the concert did not allow any alcoholic beverages, glass containers or cans into the stadium, and N.C. State University Lt. Robert Bizzelle credited the policy with keeping the crowd, which he estimated at 40,000, under control.
"I had my fingers crossed about the whole thing," said Bizzelle, who coordinated security for the concert. "Everything's been real lovely. People enjoyed themselves, and we didn't have any bad experiences."
"Not a single arrest was made that I know of," he said after the concert.
"Our main purpose is to make sure no one brings any weapons, alcoholic beverages, glass containers, cans and coolers into the stadium," said Hank Young, a Dragon Security employee from Greensboro.
"We're also supposed to keep people from climbing over the fence (into the concert). I caught one person climbing over. Hell, yeah, I threw him out."
Tickets bought in advance cost $10. They were $12.50 at the gate.
Temperatures reached 86 degrees during the afternoon, and the first-aid station at the stadium was filled to capacity throughout the concert.
Lu Little, coordinator of Red Cross First-Aid, estimated more than 200 people were treated for heat exhaustion, nausea, drugs and lacerations sustained in falls during the concert.
"Some people got a hold of stuff they shouldn't have and others thought they could make it through the day without eating," said Mrs. Little. "It helped us a lot not having beer available."
Although the field and lower seats of the stadium were filled, many other patrons contented themselves with sight-seeing, throwing Frisbees or guzzling water from spigots. Others just wandered.
"I came with six people and I can't find a one of them," said Tony L. Norris of Greensboro. "There ain't no way I'll ever find them here." The N&O 6/3/1979

For the first time in over two years, I ran a children's creative writing camp. After such a long gap, the prospect of this camp was quite a challenge. Especially since I had changed the format of the camp. Previously, I had run the camp in five two-hour sessions. But this year, I decided to run a three-day camp, with each session lasting 3.5 hours. Feedback from parents told me that this would be much more convenient for working parents.
The thought of holding children's attention for that long, and indeed keeping up my own energy levels, was quite daunting. What's more, the children who enrolled were a mix of ages and abilities. Three of them were boys, and my experience with them was more limited, as it's usually girls who show more interest in the writing camps I run.
Here are three things I did to help me overcome these challenges.
Prepared Well
I spent a lot of time thinking about ways to hold the children's attention. As well as my usual writing activities, I thought of word games and picture based activities that would offer a bit of variety and hold their attention. I also had to think about what we would do during the break, rain or shine. In the end, I didn't need the extra activities. Since the length of time for the camp was more or less the same as in my previous camps, I had enough material with my main writing activities to last for the entire camp. And the children's concentration never flagged.
Asserted Authority
This is the most challenging aspect of running children's camps for me. You're not the children's teacher or parent, so you can't discipline them. But you're also not their friend. Creating a warm, trusting relationship and giving clear instructions for activities wards off a lot of issues. But when issues did arise during this camp, I made it clear what I didn't like and how I wanted the children to behave, I also took any actions which I felt would be in the best interests of the group. As a result, I felt more in control, and the children didn't step outside the boundaries.
Set Concrete Tasks
This group of children responded better to activities that had a clear outcome at the end. The more whimsical activities went down less well because they couldn't see the purpose of them. The boys in particular were more likely to switch on if there was a clear end in sight. As a result, when it came to writing a full-length story on the last day, they were very focused, and you could see their skills starting to come together, they began to see why we had been doing all these activities, and took pride in the end result.
Outcome of Camp
Dare I say it, this was my most successful children's creative writing camp. Much of the credit for this goes to the ten lovely children who came to the camp. They were open, creative, kind and respectful to each other. The children not only wrote their own original stories, but read them in front of an audience of their parents. They may have forgotten about it all by now, but I can only hope a little seed of creativity was planted, which will bear fruit in later life.
If you run a children's activity, what do you do to make it fun and fulfilling for them? If you're a parent, what benefits do you hope your children will gain from attending a camp?

Congratulations to Jae-Gil Jung, Sang-Hwa Lee, Jung-Moo Lee, Young-Hee Cho, Su-Hyeon Kim, and Woon-Ha Yoon of KIMS. Their manuscript studying the effects of ultrasonic melt treatment on improving the microstructure and mechanical properties of an Al/Si piston alloy was published July 2016, in Jl. Of Materials Science and Engineering: A. UES' Robo-Met.3D was used in this investigation to obtain and visualize microstructures.
Link: https://www.ues.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/10/RM3D-Forum-Jung.pdf
The UES team (Satya Ganti, Brian Geier, Brian Hayes and Michael Velez) recently presented their work on analyzing porosity in additive manufactured (AM) parts, at the M&M Conference in July 2016, Columbus OH. Porosity is a typical defect in AM parts. State of the art microstructural analysis techniques such as Robo-Met.3D can precisely and accurately quantify porosity in materials. Conventional 2D techniques provided variability in results.

As displays of sonic excitement made with specific audiences in mind, the two Quincy Jones albums included in this set are tremendously effective performances, brilliantly recorded.
Around the World was aimed at fans who like their quality big band music easy on the ear, for though there is some nice soloing by Clark Terry, Phil Woods, Sahib Shihab and Benny Bailey, these are primarily lushly voiced atmospheric arrangements delivered by a brilliant, airy and swinging band.
I Dig Dancers was, as the title indicates, aimed at attracting dancers and securing an identity for the band as a dance organization. There is, therefore, a plenitude of tunes eminently suitable for tripping the light fantastic to a band with a full solid ensemble sound and relaxed, clever and swinging arrangements at tempos tailor-made for the ballroom. Packed with the cream of New Yorks jazz musicians, as a musical organization the band was top-flight. Whether catering for listeners or dancers, Quincy Jones would have it no other way.

As soon as November rears it's head, it seems that newspapers, magazines and the television become saturated with those dreaded gift lists. 'Buy this!' the advertisements scream at you, halfway through the latest episode of Homeland, 'your world will be transformed!'. 'If you buy that, your kids will love you forever!' promises the lady grinning manically up from the pages of the Sunday supplement. It drives me absolutely crackers - I watched this (fairly old) documentary on YouTube about where stuff comes from and where it goes, and it only cemented what I already thought; we're being constantly manipulated and sold a pointless lie. So I decided not to do any gift list posts this year - not even ethical ones - in the hope that more people will follow suit in thinking outside the box, making gifts themselves and buying second hand items for their nearest and dearest. (There are some incredible blogs out there at the moment with a gazillion tutorials and ideas for a more ethical Christmas; Mel has done a great tutorial on handmade bead necklaces and Lucy has posted two amazing posts about the tyranny of toys and unorthodox Christmas presents for kiddos.)
I'm going to allow myself one recommendation though; the incredible Little Book of Craftivism brought to you by the amazing Sarah Corbett. I've gone on about the Craftivists a hundred times before, so they really don't need an introduction (and if you've missed it, click here and immerse yourself in the world of gentle, peaceful activism through craft), but the book is faaaabulous and makes the perfect little Christmas gift. It starts with an introduction to Craftivism and tells Sarah's story, then moves quickly on to various small and simple (but highly effective) project tutorials, and even includes some stitch guides. There are also loads of tips and facts that will help even the most novice craftivist, and it's ideal for anyone who wants to learn more about the subject, or who feels stuck for ideas. Plus, the photographs are proper craft eye-candy. I was one of the lucky crowd-funders, so I managed to get my name in the front as well, hurrah!
For the princely sum of £5, it would make the best present, stocking filler or Secret Santa gift, and would last a lot longer than novelty gadgets that are funny on Christmas morning, but have been relegated to the bin by lunchtime (George Monbiot has written a great article on exactly this. Oh, and he wrote this one as well which is also pretty good). To get yours (gift wrapped, with a lovely bow!) head to the Craftivist Etsy shop - bugger the plastic, give a package full of ideas and inspiration this year.
(I'm not bashing anyone who might have chosen to do a series of 'gift list' posts on their blogs, by the way - loads of my faves have done a few - but they're just not my bag!)

Wii U Virtual Console Trial Campaign Details
This year marks the 30th anniversary of the launch of the Nintendo Famicom, which of course became the NES on introduction to the USA and beyond two years later. To mark the occasion, Nintendo has already told us that they intend on offering a selection of NES and SNES games at a bargain price of 30 cents (30p in the UK), for 30 days each.
Now further details have been confirmed, including the games on offer and the dates that you can pick them up for the Wii U Virtual Console. After the offer period each game will revert to its standard price. Here is the information straight from Nintendo:
• Balloon Fight (NES) Jan. 23-Feb. 21
• F-Zero (SNES) Feb. 20-March 21
• Punch-Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES) March 20-April 18
• Kirby's Adventure (NES) April 17-May 16
• Super Metroid (SNES) May 15-June 13
• Yoshi (NES) June 12-July 11
• Donkey Kong (NES) July 15-Aug. 13
So which of those gems are you most looking forward to playing on the Wii U Game Pad? For me personally the SNES games are a highlight but I love the idea of finishing the campaign off with Donkey Kong, arguably the first ever Killer App for the NES.
