Federal cannabis policy reform at standstill despite record number of bills in Congress

Federal cannabis policy reform at standstill despite record number of bills in Congress
July 15, 2018
Citizens! The politicians are listening to you, but your representatives in Congress need a more prodding:
Excerpted from Marijuana Business Daily:
- MJ Biz Daily analysis found that 41 pro-cannabis bills have been introduced in the 115th session of Congress, nearly identical to the total number of pro-cannabis bills introduced between 1999 and 2015.
- While a number of influential politicians have become more receptive to the idea of marijuana legalization - chief among them President Donald Trump, Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and former U.S. House Speaker John Boehner - just two of the 41 cannabis policy reform bills introduced in this session of Congress have been given a committee hearing - much less a vote - and none have passed either the House or Senate.
Find out who your representatives are here and let them know you support the medical cannabis industry!

Distinguished Faculty Lecture Series
Office of the Provost and Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs
Fall 2019 Distinguished Faculty Lecture
"Impact of Demographic, Psychographic, and Perception of Candidate Character on Voter Choice in the 2016 Presidential Election"
presented by
Shawn Thelen, PhD
Professor of Marketing and International Business
Frank G. Zarb School of Business
Boonghee Yoo, PhD
Professor of Marketing and International Business
Frank G. Zarb School of Business
Wednesday, November 6, 2019
11:15 a.m.-12:40 p.m.
Guthart Cultural Center Theater
Joan and Donald E. Axinn Library, First Floor, South Campus
Analyzing survey data collected one week prior to the 2016 election, it is determined that voter opinion of candidates' character had the greatest impact on their candidate choice – more than demographic or psychographic variables collectively. A candidate's ability to highlight their own competence and improve voters' view of their character, i.e., present themselves in a positive light, while diminishing the character of their competitors, i.e., disparage their opponent, is a viable strategy for winning elections. Political marketers have limited time and financial resources and need to focus on the variables that will win the most votes. Candidates, increasingly known as brandidates, may benefit more from employing pure marketers than political advisors to win elections.
In all instances, the "lecturer" must be a full-time Hofstra faculty member. In the Fine Arts, a faculty member may illustrate/exhibit his or her work and offer a discussion which places the work in appropriate context. Performing artists may elect to offer an original work or an original interpretation. The following criteria apply:
- The lecture is the fruit of original thought and research on a topic both representative of the faculty member's specialization and likely to attract and hold the interest of a wide, diverse audience. It is expected that this lecture will not have previously been delivered to the Hofstra community.
- In style as well as substance, the lecture should constitute a model of academic discourse. To ensure such excellence, the lecturer is selected by means of a competitive process open to all full-time faculty applicants.
- Unpublished material and material published within two years of the date of submission are acceptable. Please indicate how the material will be presented in lecture form, if deriving from a published item.
- If the text submitted has been prepared for a specialized audience (for example, assuming technical information possessed only by specialists in the faculty member's field), a clear explanation of how this work will be adapted to a more general academic audience must be included.
- The following are among the specific questions the committee considers when reviewing each proposal
- Is the title of the lecture informative and likely to attract a large audience?
- Will the language used in the lecture be technically correct and yet still understandable for individuals whose specializations are different from the Lecturer?
- Will the Lecturer present the data so that the audience will be able to understand the overall significance of this work?
- Will there be some general overview of the topic so that a nonspecialist attendee will be able to recognize the significance of this work?
- Is there a clear "take-home message" for the audience?
- Will there be audio visuals to augment the presentation? Will the format be suitable for a large audience?
- Is the lecture suitable for the 30-40 minutes allocated?
Please provide enough information so that the committee can answer these questions. And please note, that these proposals are reviewed by the Committee without any indication of faculty name or school association, so we ask you to submit the copy without identifying information. I will have your name 'whited-out' in your accompanying memo before it is copied and distributed. Your assistance here will facilitate the process and be greatly appreciated.
We encourage your participation.

What is commercial and residential in real estate- who's Invest is more riskierSamar Javed24 August 2019
Any property, be it residential or commercial, maybe a good opportunity for investment. Typically, investing in commercial real estate can bring in more financial gain than investing in properties used for residential purposes. However, the risks are also more. Let us understand in more detail.
What is a commercial property?
Any real estate property that is used for business purposes is known as commercial property. The term usually refers to buildings that have businesses operating out of them, but it can also be used to refer to land that is meant to produce a profit, and also the bigger residential properties. When you designate a property as "commercial" there are implications on the tax levied, building finance, and the laws that govern it.
Commercial property can refer to any of the following:
- Grocery stores
- Shopping malls
- Office buildings
- Manufacturing shops
- And more.
The Advantages and Disadvantages of Commercial Real Estate
Like we discussed, a number of properties can be classified as commercial real estate, including retail outlets, warehouses, office buildings, and raw land. The single thing they all have in common is that they are all designed to generate income. For example, an office building would produce rental income from the tenants of the building. A plot of land can be bought and sold to a property developer for a profit.
If we look at the advantages of commercial real estate investment, the thing that stands out is the potential for earning money that such a commercial property in all places have. A good example of this is if you invest in an office building in a city, where the rate per square foot is extremely high, then you can charge higher rates as well. If the demand stays high and you have low operating expenses, you can see a good return on your investment.
However, this return on investment does not come without a price. To manage a commercial property, you need more than one person. You will probably need to recruit a professional property manager who will search for and vet tenants, manage lease signing and look after day to day running of the building.
Also, you must pay for the maintenance and upkeep of the building. All these costs can add up and cut into the revenue that you are earning from the building. And unless you are investing via a crowd funding platform or buying shares in a real estate investment trust, you will need to make a big upfront payment to invest in a commercial property.

A Look about Residential Real Estate
It can be assumed that investing in a residential property for sale everywhere you are will probably not be as stressful as investing in commercial real estate. You can handle just one tenant rather than multiple tenants. The continual maintenance expenses will be less, especially if you are buying a one family house.
An entry into the residential real estate market is also easier because you will not need as much money to begin with. If you are trying to do house-flipping, for example, you can get a short-term loan and pay very little money from your own pocket (at least at the time of taking the loan). However, remember that since these loans usually allow you to make interest-only payments, you must be confident that you can sell the house and not get stuck with a huge amount to repay.
And of course, investments in residential properties also have their disadvantages. You will be incurring more risk with a single tenant because if that tenant moves out on short notice, you will not earn on that property unless you find another tenant. If you took a loan to buy the rental property, you would have to make the payments to the bank out of your pocket until you can get another tenant.
It is also more difficult for residential properties to offer similar returns as commercial properties. If the house needs extensive maintenance or your house taxes are suddenly hiked steeply, then your profits will be affected majorly.
Advantage and disadvantage Of Residential Property Investing in India
- No requirement of minimum or lowest size of Property.
- Loan is easily approved with minimum documents.
- Leasing process is very easy with a written on 50 Rupees Stamp Paper.
- The capital values of residential properties tend to remain stable for minimum periods of time.
- Low monthly rental income.
- Rental agreement usually cannot exceed 3 years.
What one should real estate developers?
This question can be answered only if you know what you want to get out of investing in real estate. Invest in commercial properties for more returns, but if you prefer working on a smaller scale, residential properties can be more appealing. If you take some time to consider how much time you want to devote to your project and the tolerance for risks, then it can be easier to make the decision.
You should do your research on real estate developers in all places and then select the right type of property to invest in.

Dietary Antioxidants May Not Reduce Risk of Stroke or Dementia
Contrary to other research, a new study has found that the total level of antioxidants in people's diets is not related to their risk of developing stroke or dementia. The study was published online in Neurology.
Antioxidants, such as lycopene, beta-carotene, and vitamins C and E, are found in many foods.
"These results are interesting because other studies have suggested that antioxidants may help protect against stroke and dementia," said author Elizabeth E. Devore, ScD. "It's possible that individual antioxidants, or the main foods that contribute those antioxidants — rather than the total antioxidant level in the diet — contribute to the lower risk of dementia and stroke found in earlier studies."
The study involved 5,395 people aged 55 years and older who had no signs of dementia at enrollment. The participants completed questionnaires about how often they ate 170 foods over the past year; then they were followed for an average of nearly 14 years.
The participants were divided into three groups: low, moderate, and high levels of antioxidants in the diet. About 600 people developed dementia during the study, and about 600 people had a stroke. But researchers found that people with high levels of antioxidants were no more or less likely to develop brain disease than people with low levels of antioxidants.
Devore noted that about 90% of the difference in antioxidant levels in the study was due to the amount of coffee and tea people drank. Coffee and tea contain high levels of nontraditional antioxidants, such as flavonoids.
"This differed from an Italian study that found the higher total antioxidant levels were associated with a lower risk of stroke, where the variation from coffee and tea was lower, and the contribution from alcoholic beverages, fruits, and vegetables was higher," Devore said.

How the pro-Leave Spartans, not pro-Remain or pro-Soft Brexit Tories, could end up whipless – and barred from contesting a general election as Conservatives.
How the pro-Leave Spartans, not pro-Remain or pro-Soft Brexit Tories, could end up whipless – and barred from contesting a general election as Conservatives.
"The Agreement is a very expensive invitation to talks about our possible exit. It does not give us either a clear date for leaving or the terms on which we might eventually be allowed out."
In a letter dated May this year, the Brexit Secretary attempted to assuage concerns about the implications of Theresa May's deal for the United Kingdom.
"There is much more I could object to. This is no Treaty to take back control, no Treaty for a newly independent nation."
Don't be so distracted by the actors – and all the talk of deselection and elections – as to miss the drama's bigger picture.
The new Prime Minister will inherit the worst political legacy in living memory – with the very barest of working majorities.
The present election will turn on whether MPs and activists put national popularity before ideological soundness.
A basic problem remains unaltered – that there is no Commons majority for a No Deal Brexit. This point has been well made by Ann Widdecombe.
Progressive commentators and saloon-bar orators are wrong to condemn MPs for finding the national issue hard to settle.
He suggests that it is no different to ministers passing laws with amendments they dislike, but Redwood points out they are not normally compelled to do so.
A dedicated band of Conservative pro-Brexit holdouts stands ready to perish rather than let May's deal pass.
Mostly ERG-aligned Leavers – but roughly ten former Remainers, a core of whom now back a second referendum.

Duration:~5 minutes
|white cigar-shaped silent slow moving craft at about 1 mile high and maybe three miles away was moving south, fired two bright flashes
Saw my first ever UFO today, February 23, 2015, at 11 a.m. Pacific Time. By UFO, I mean Unidentified Floating Object – it was not flying – had no wings, no tail, no rotors. There was no sound, though as far away as it was, even if it had been an airplane I might not have heard it. There was no condensation trail behind it. The movement of the cigar-shaped white object was so slow that it appeared to be simply floating along at perhaps about 30-40 mph. There's a possibility it may have been a drone – I've not seen all the types of drones the Military has these days, and there is a Base nearby, so who knows? It could have been ours, but maybe it wasn't. I don't know. Here's what happened.
I had just pulled out of the Post Office parking lot on Jefferson Street in Olympia, Washington, and turned right (north). After one block Jefferson Street makes a curve to the NW and as I was looking ahead during the curve (first gorgeous blue sky day we've had in a while) a white cylindrical shape in the distant sky caught my attention. As a cloud watcher I am often looking at the sky, and this object caught my attention as it did not look like a normal airplane. It was long, cylindrical, no wings, tail or rotors, no windows as far as I could tell. It was hard to tell how far away it was – I would guess perhaps anywhere from 1.5 to 2 miles away. Elevation (guessing again) may have been 0.5 to one mile high. It's really hard to tell as there was nothing to triangulate it with. I am a pilot, though I haven't flown in years, and I've sailed across the Pacific Ocean from Sausalito, CA, to Hawaii, and hiked many wilderness trails alone for up to three weeks at a stint, so I'm used to seeing unusual things, but never anything like this before.
As I was driving on Jefferson and it became Adam Street, I decided to watch it as it was so intriguing, so I pulled over to the sidewalk in front of a yellow fire hydrant (there was nowhere else to park) and watched it for perhaps 3-5 minutes before I couldn't see it anymore. Here's what it did during those minutes.
From my viewpoint it was to my WNW, and was headed south, maybe a tweak to the southwest, moving very slowly, silently, for about one minute of my watch time, when suddenly it veered sharply to its right – due west – so now all I could see was the dot of its circumference. The whiteness of the object was getting dimmer as it moved further west, and suddenly I noticed a bright pomegranate colored flash below it to the south, then another less brilliant flash a little further away, then a third even dimmer and further still away. They were like light flashes, nothing exploding, not flares, and were all in a single Southern and lower trajectory from the craft. That was bizarre, then a few seconds later the craft made an abrupt turn and was longwise to my view again, pointing south. It seemed to just hover there for maybe ten seconds, not proceed further south. Then it abruptly turned West again and within a few seconds there was another brilliant flash off the side of the craft – a brilliant whitish green electric colored flash – white on the far side, greener closer to the craft. That flash was fan shaped, different that the burst of round light previously seen. The fanned-out part of the white-green flash was away from the craft, while the narrow part of the fan-shape was right near the craft.
I kept watching and it got harder and harder to see, as it was moving slowly further away. I started up the truck and drove over to a parking area on Capitol Lake, got out and continued looking for it, but didn't see it again. Lots of people were out walking around the lake, and after maybe an hour of me walking around it slowly while still searching the sky, I finally got back to the truck, drove to do a quick errand, then decided to drive back to where I had originally seen it. I took photos of the location, made a quick video, got back in the truck and was about to drive away when I saw something that almost looked like the same white cigar shape again – Same location in the sky – only this time it was higher and harder to see than it had been the first time. I watched it closely but it disappeared as it headed south much more quickly than the first one – within maybe ten seconds – due to its higher elevation and distance from me – not to its speed, as it was still slow.
There is an airport to the south of Olympia and I frequently see low flying planes coming in on approach, but that flight pattern is different than where these objects were flying. These were too high for approach and way too far west. The best I can figure is they were above West Olympia and the southernmost shores of Puget Sound heading southwest and west which would take them (or at least the first one) over Black Lake and perhaps on over to the Capitol State Forest. Don't know what they were, but I do know they were not planes, helicopters or any other craft I am familiar with.

A southern classic made easier! This Instant Pot Turnip Greens Recipe will have you enjoying a bowl in minutes instead of hours.
During the holidays there are a few dishes that are a must at my house. One of them is a bowl of greens! Greens are a staple across the south and a tasty side dish! This Instant Pot Turnip Greens Recipe makes it even easier to enjoy them without waiting for hours. Plus, veggies, bacon, and a few extras make these keto/low-carb friendly too!
Stop! Wash Your Greens!
The key to a delicious pot of greens is washing them! Greens are grown in the sand loose soil of the south. When they are harvested some of that sandy soil can stick to the greens. If you don't wash/rinse them well you could end up with sandy greens.
No one wants sandy greens, so stop and wash them….and then go wash them one more time.
How to Make Turnip Greens
This instant pot turnip greens recipe is a keeper. Traditional greens can take several hours in a pot to get them the perfect texture and flavor. The Instant Pot cuts way back on cooking time meaning you will be enjoying these Turnip Greens super fast.
Use the handy saute feature on your instant pot to brown your bacon. Once it is brown add in the chicken broth to deglaze the bottom of the pot. Add in the rest of the ingredients and seal your instant pot.
Set your instant pot to 10 minutes. When it is done you can either quick release or allow it to release the steam naturally. Serve your greens with a couple of shakes of pepper sauce and they are DELICIOUS!
What To Serve with Greens
Turnip Greens or Collard Greens are a meal in themselves if you ask my husband. Most people enjoy them as a side dish but there is one thing that makes them so much better; a fresh pan of Cornbread.
Turnip Greens are Healthy
Turnip Greens are a vegetable related to broccoli and kale. That puts them right in the holy grail of vegetables! They are low in calories, but high in nutrients which makes them a great choice for pretty much anyone (Even you KETO-ers).
They are full of calcium, iron, magnesium and more. So if you are thinking about a healthy side dish! This is it!

There are numerous ways to manage inflammation and today I want to discuss tips for managing rheumatoid arthritis. Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune condition where the immune system attacks soft tissues in joints promoting inflammation. Most people experience pain, swelling, stiffness, and limitations in terms of movements.
Symptoms related to rheumatoid arthritis can come during times of inflammation and stress. This autoimmune condition can lead to significant joint damage, hormonal changes, nerve damage and dangerous inflammation of blood vessels (4). While there isn't a cure for rheumatoid arthritis, the systems impacted by this disease process can be supported through nutrition and targeted supplementation.
How is Rheumatoid Arthritis different?
The main difference between rheumatoid arthritis and pain caused by general inflammation is that pain caused by rheumatoid arthritis tends last for years and promote damage equally on both sides of the body. When someone has rheumatoid arthritis, a person's immune system attacks his or her own healthy body tissue and causes a loss of cartilage. Because high levels of inflammation are being systemically promoted in someone with rheumatoid arthritis, it can also affect other parts of the body, including vital organs and the endocrine glands.
With Rheumatoid Arthritis, synovial fluid that normally lubricates joints starts to thicken and swell, while at the same time cartilage loss causes increased friction between joints and bones. Rheumatoid arthritis symptoms are worsened by the progressive loss of cartilage in joints. The inflamed tissue surrounding joints can also cause pain and discomfort. The inflammation of tissue surrounding the joints can cause a tightening of the gap between joints. Eventually, it becomes difficult for joints to move and the buffering space normally between bones becomes smaller, which can limit motion.
How to tell if a flare-up is coming on
Morning stiffness, redness, and fluid retention are indicators that a flare-up might be coming. Flares can mimic the symptoms experienced when we have fevers or infections. Although arthritis flare-ups are somewhat unpredictable, for many people they're most likely to hit after a very stressful situation since emotional or physical stress is a "trigger" for many people that wears down the immune system (4).
Nutritional steps that you can take
Eat fish, especially Sockeye or wild caught red salmon varieties (not pink) at least 2 times a week. The omega 3's in fish can occupy the enzymatic pathways necessary to produce proinflammatory cytokines.
Olive Oil and Coconut Oil, these healthy fats can rebalance the gut, stimulate healthy bile production, and promote the release diamine oxidase. As discussed previously, diamine oxidase is the main enzyme your body uses to breakdown histamine.
Cruciferous veggies, garlic, and onions contain sulfuric compounds your body needs to stimulate the growth of collagen and soft tissue repair (6).
Nutrient Dense Berries are high in bioavailable antioxidants that support vascular health, soft tissue, and blood sugar balance. Berries are can sensitize your body to insulin signaling. Berries are also high in bioflavonoids that can have a positive impact on reducing symptoms (6).
Kombucha and Apple Cider Vinegar can support the digestive process in those managing Rheumatoid Arthritis. It is common for those suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis to have low stomach acid, which is why many other "health experts" recommend avoiding red meat (3). It's not that red meat is bad, it's that without the correct amount of stomach acid to digest red meat it can promote a flare-up.
Processed vegetable oils: Corn oil, soybean oil, vegetable oil, canola oil, hydrogenated oil, trans fats. These fats are prone to oxidation and high in omega 6 fats, which your body will use to make arachidonic acid (AA). AA is the precursor to a number proinflammatory cytokines that your immune system uses to kill things and create an inflammatory barrier to protect the wound. Aside from the production of AA, which is a healthy natural process gone awry, the damaged fats themselves can have a direct impact on increasing inflammation.
Avoid foods high in rancid omega 6 fats: Processed pastries, fried foods, chips. It's not enough just to remove unhealthy fats from the kitchen, we also need to remove them from our everyday meals and snacks.
Reduce or eliminate sugars and refined carbohydrates. This is a big deal, especially if you are also struggling with gout. Having elevated blood sugar can cause system-wide oxidative stress and cause inflammation throughout the body. Your body also produces an abundance of uric acid when metabolizing sugars, especially fructose and can cause uric acid crystals to form.
Avoid alcohol and tobacco. Alcohol is especially problematic if you are also dealing with gout issues. There are numerous reasons to avoid tobacco and another reason to add to its list is that it can promote Rheumatoid Arthritis. Smoking can promote mutations in the P53 gene, oxidative stress, inflammation, autoantibody formation and epigenetic changes in gene expression (1, 2, 7).
Substantial amounts of red meat, until stomach acid is rebalanced. The idea that red meat and saturated fat are unhealthy is nonsense and the reasoning for why individuals suffering from Rheumatoid Arthritis should avoid red meat is also nonsense. The reason why individuals trying to manage Rheumatoid Arthritis should avoid red meat is because a hallmark of the disease process is low production of stomach acid (3). If you manage to balance your stomach acid, have a little red meat and just be aware that you might have trouble digesting it.
Preferred Supplements:
Healthy Nerves and Feet
This is a great product that many of my clients have found success with. It contains nutrients specific for nerve health and inflammation in general. Of the compounds present in this mixture, I especially like benfotiamine (fat-soluble B-1), alpha lipoic acid, Boswellia, and a B-complex formulated to support nerve health.
Berberine has the potential to inhibit the production of proinflammatory cytokines from immune cells, it has also been found to support the balance between T-regulatory immune cells and T-Helper cells. Essentially, T-helper cells attack and T-reg cells are the peacemakers (9).
This is one of the most important minerals everyone should be taking. Magnesium plays a critical role in maintaining normal nerve and muscle function, utilization of vitamin D, supporting a normal heart rhythm, neuromuscular conduction, muscular contraction, normal blood pressure, bone integrity, and insulin sensitivity (8). Our bones are 50% magnesium and if we are deficient in magnesium our body has mechanisms for tapping into this magnesium reserve, resulting in bone loss. Considering how fortified our foods are with calcium and how widespread magnesium deficiency is, I usually recommend magnesium.
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 Is also essential to maintaining nerve health, hormone balance, and proper gene expression. Essentially, vitamin D3 helps to regulate the activity of P53, a gene that acts as a spell checker for our genetic code (2, 7). When the P53 gene finds damage in our genetic code it signals apoptosis or programmed cellular death. Overactivity of this gene process can promote abnormal apoptosis and cellular damage. Overactivity of P53 in joint synovial fluid has been associated found in those struggling with Rheumatoid Arthritis.
Boron is an essential trace mineral that helps to maintain hormone balance, bone health and can support joint health (5). Researchers have found that boron improved symptoms in formaldehyde-induced arthritis in rats and in one trial 50% of individuals taking 6mg indicated improvement in their arthritic symptoms compared to 10% in the placebo group.
Betaine HCL
Betaine HCL can be taken with meals to support healthy stomach acid levels when digesting meals high in protein and fat. It can also be taken with meals not containing these essential nutrients since research has demonstrated that low stomach acid production can contribute to Rheumatoid Arthritis (3).
A good first step would be to go through your cupard and fridge to make sure you are doing everything possible to support your health and remove possible trigger foods. If you are still not feeling better, you can try including nutritional supplements, just make sure that there are no interactions with your current medications. Don't feel like you need to or shuld try everything on this list at once, it's up to you to determine what is right for your health.

Articles, advices and tips for professionals in the United States of America
You know what I always say; college is not the path for everyone. Now, I know what you're thinking. You want your child or children to attend college regardless. I can understand this. After all, I have kids of my own. There is no doubt in my mind that I want them to all be college graduates. However, once they're grown and out of high school, it is no longer up to us. Those life decisions suddenly become theirs. This is not utterly a bad thing. They finally get to act like adults and accept some responsibility for their actions and overall life.
My eldest daughter graduated from high school last year and informed us that she wanted to go immediately to cosmetology school. I wasn't shocked one bit. She had always mentioned cutting and styling hair in the past. This route was probably perfect for her. A couple years down the road she became a hair stylist. Now she loves life and enjoys what she does for a living.
Are you considering cosmetology school by any chance? Hey, don't be discouraged simply because this career doesn't require a 4-year-degree. Those who attend and complete cosmetology school do in fact make money. Maybe more than you initially assumed. I recently spoke with a woman at the local salon/spa. She was cutting my hair and we really got to talking. We discussed all aspects of life and relationships. We even began talking about career paths. I inquired why she chose cosmetology school. She said that she loved doing hair, make-up, nails, massage and the whole shebang. I was impressed by her enthusiasm for the field. She even mentioned that the money was good. Although she didn't care for starting at 20 grand a year, she claimed that it increased rather quickly. It all has to do with building up a cliental. Now she makes 45 grand a year. That's a pretty large increase in pay and she's only been there for three years. Not too bad for a gig that doesn't require a 4-year-degree.
You can research any nearby cosmetology school on the web now days. Get online and see how long it will take you to acquire a decent degree in cosmetology. For many it only takes about a year of classes. That's certainly not bad. This also means that you won't have a great deal to pay back if you resort to loans. Find the best cosmetology school around and get started now.

2009 Emerging Artist
Eric Knoche
June 2009 | by Sara Baker | Issue 68, October 2009
A wood-fired ceramic vessel by Eric Knoche.
There is much more to Eric Knoche's work than what initially meets the eye. His ceramic vessels are abstracts of human figures, bones, houses or even machine parts. Each piece is hand-built using coils or slabs, and then wood-fired."Wood-fired surfaces have a unique ability to reveal themselves to a viewer over time," says the Asheville, N.C., artist.
"Clay is very sensitive to the way it is touched," says Knoche."Even if I show someone exactly how I make something, the way they touch the clay will be different, and therefore the final piece will be different." As a result, he keeps no secrets when he's teaching workshops.
Knoche began his career as a professional artist just three years ago, after working as an English teacher in India and Thailand. He is experimenting with a new series of large, human-size vessels and a series of interactive ceramic puzzle sculptures.
Knoche's work sells for $90 to $9,000. It is available at galleries including Blue Spiral 1 in Asheville, N.C., Anderson O'Brien Fine Art in Omaha, Neb., and Crimson Laurel Gallery in Bakersville, N.C.
Arboretum Installation
I just finished installing five large outdoor sculptures at the Asheville arboretum as part of Handmade in America's Craft and Design Expo
They will be on display this friday and saturday from 10-6
Buidling large work
My desire to create large scale work stems both from my ongoing aesthetic exploration of scale and mass as well as a need to challenge myself technically. While bigger is certainly not always better, with large scale work there is the potential to create a presence that simply isn't possible with smaller work.
While it is difficult to make accurate generalizations about any art, for me, sculpture that approaches the size of a human body takes on additional meaning simply because of its size. Of course this is not to say that large sculpture is in any way better than small sculpture, nor would any random small work benefit from an artificial increase in size. However, I think due to the way humans intrinsically perceive the physical world, we interact differently with large sculpture.
To some extent, most ceramics involve taking the artistic vision from the right side of the brain and bringing the final piece to fruition using the left side of the brain. While there are exception, most ceramic artists have at least clay and glaze formulas to consider, drying and firing schedules, and perhaps structural aids like armatures and molds. The complexity of all of these technical aspects increases exponentially as the size of the work increases. When a solo artist can no longer pick up her work by herself, there is a significant difference in the making process. For me, creating these large vessels involved the help of others at numerous points in the process. Particularly since the kiln they were fired in was over twenty miles (some of it over bumpy gravel roads) from my studio. Thus, they had to be carefully loaded, transported, and unloaded in an unfired state. In making large scale work there is simply more planning and thinking ahead that has to happen for the piece to be successful. Both the artistic exploration and the technical challenge and how they interact are important to me.
Although my current work lacks an overt narrative and on one level deals largely with formal issues of line, shape, mass, texture etc., my hope is that my work communicates with others on a level outside the spectrum of speech and conscious thought. I endeavor to communicate directly with the viscera of my fellow humans. The spacial relations and formal visual components of my work are the result of an ongoing personal exploration into the ability of physical space to resonate within the human spirit. It is my belief that a similar line of inquiry over centuries led to the development of such ideas and philosophies as the Golden Mean and Feng Shui. I think of myself not only as a sculptor, but also as a temporal artist, exploring and crafting this interaction between humans and objects. Ultimately, I am searching for a deeper understanding of the human spirit and its relationship to the things and space around us.

Four Months in Imbe - A Brief Apprenticeship with Isezaki Jun
During the fall/winter of 2008-09 I had the opportunity to work as a short term apprentice in the studio of Isezaki Jun, Living National Treasure, in Bizen, Okayama, Japan. This short film documents my experience.
(The password is "woodfire")
My time in Japan
Last Post from JapanAfter letting the kiln cool for about a week we unloaded the work, brought it back to the studio and began cleaning it. Because of the nature of wood fired ceramics in general and the Bizen clay and loading styles in particular, the firing itself is etched into the unglazed surface of the pottery. This natural patina is the result of a dynamic interaction between clay, form, loading, and firing. Not only do these surface effects give each piece its own unique character, by observing the wares still stacked in the kiln after the firing, much can be learned about the firing itself. For example, we can tell which areas of the kiln received the most ash deposits, which areas were hot and cool, how high the charcoal was, where the flame burned with an abundance of oxygen and where it burned with an abundance of fuel. All of this information can then be used when planning the next firing.
I wrote in an earlier post that, for me, working with clay is essentially a collaboration with a material rather than a dominance over it. I think firing a wood kiln is similar. Each kiln is different, each firing is different, and even the reaction of the kiln to each stoke of wood may be different. By working with the kiln--during a firing and from firing to firing--success, in my opinion, is more likely.
After the firing we took all of the work out of the kiln, brought it back to the kiln and then began cleaning it. To clean wood fired ceramics a variety of tools are used: blocks of silicon carbide take off the large burrs, sandpaper is used to make the surface more friendly to the touch, and if necessary, a grinder is used for large or stubborn protrusions. Finally the work is washed in several changes of clean water to remove the dust from cleaning and any remaining loose ash.
After the work is cleaned, it is organized and certain pieces are selected for upcoming exhibitions.
The timing of my stay in Bizen was such that my first activity was processing clay and my last was cleaning the fired work. In between, I got to experience helping Sensei make work, peparing for the firing, loading firing and unloading as well as various assorted tasks. Thus, I was able to experience a full cycle of making work in the studio of Isezaki Jun Sensei.
In addition, I made several life long friends, learned a great deal of Japanese, and grew in many other ways. This experience was particularily interesting to me because of my prior experiences. About three years ago I finished a two year apprenticeship to Jeff Shapiro. Since that time I have worked as an independent artist and made my own work. Much of what I leared at Shapiro's as well as much of what I employ in my own work has roots in Japan and particularily Bizen. Therefore, to apprentice again, this time in Japan, after working on my own for several years, felt very much like I was tracing my own artistic lineage. Though I do not consider myself a traditional artist, I certainly recognize the importance of tradition on my work and humbly regard my self as the grateful recipient of several traditions.
More pictures of my time in Japan can be found at picasaweb.google.com/superduperdog3
Also, with the approval of Isezaki Sensei I made a short film about my experience. You can watch it here.
There is a password that is required. It is "woodfire." We have just begun firing. After three months of hard work by Isezaki Sensei, Koichiro-san (his son), Kibata-san (the oldest apprentice), Ishida-san (the other apprentice), Hatori-san (an employee who mostly handles the wrapping and shipping of finished work, but also helps where ever needed), and myself, this the culmination. Last week we loaded hundreds of Sensei's pieces into the kiln. While in many places in Japan and around the world the firing's primary purpose is to transform the clay into ceramic and the applied glazes into hard glass, in Bizen the firing as another purpose as well. Traditionally no glazes are used on the pottery and so it is the firing itself which gives the work its finished patina. To be more accurate, it is the interaction of the clay, the form, the loading and the firing which patina the work. In Japanese the term for this kind of work is 'yakishime.' In english, as is often the case with woodfired ceramics, we do not have one concise word for it, though it is usually referred to as 'natural ash glazed ceramics.'
Isezaki Sensei's Anagama
Because the path of the flame through the kiln and wares in extremely important in determining what the final results will be both on individual pieces as well as on the kiln load as a whole, great care is taken during the loading and much consideration is given to directing the flame. During the firing the flame behaves much like water, taking the path of least resistance, speeding up as it constricts, swirling and eddying as it flows around the wares.
Loading the back of the kiln
This style of kiln is called an 'anagama' and is basically a tube running at an incline up a hill. The pitch of anagama kilns vary a great deal but Sensei's is fairly steep, almost completely eliminating the need for a chimney. Infact, the chimney on this kiln is only about two feet tall.
For the next ten days we will take turns stoking the kiln continuously in eight hour shifts. Typically during kiln firings my favorite shift is the overnight shift because of the stillness, but this time Ishida-san and I are on the 4 pm to Midnight.
Sensei pulling a teabowl from the kiln as the kiln approaches top temperature. Each firing a few pieces are selected for this technique which is called 'hikidashi.' The results are dramatically different from the work left in the kiln to cool naturally.
Excavating clay from under a local rice field.
Bizen clay, often dug from under local rice fields, has very high levels of organic matter. Therefore, the temperature of the kiln must be raised very slowly in order to burn out these impurities. If the temperature goes up to quickly, the escaping gasses can cause bloating. We are currently raising the temperature by 5 degrees celsius per hour.
This style of firing is incredibly labor intensive, somewhat unpredictable, and relatively expensive. However, as you see in my next post, the results speak for themselves.

Some of my work
Thanks for reading!
Eric I have been working in the studio of Mr. Jun Isezaki in Imbe, Bizen, Japan for a little over a month. In addition to myself, Isezaki has two other apprentices right now, Kibata and Ishida. And in addition to their jobs as apprentices I have recruited them both as de facto Japanese instructors. The first few weeks after my arrival I learned what feels like a tremendous amount of Japanese as we worked together on various projects.
Crushing the dry clay by hand
The timing of my stay here as worked out perfectly insofar as I will get to experience an entire making cycle. My first job when I arrived was manually crushing natural dry clay and looking for lime. Auspiciously this was the exact same task I was given on the first day of my apprenticeship to Jeff Shapiro. (Shapiro is also my connection to Japan and to Isezaki). I think crushing clay and looking closely at it is a good place to start an apprenticeship. Also, during the first few days of my time here Isezaki's son Koichiro (who also studied with Shapiro) began loading his own anagama (wood kiln) and invited me to help. Loading is my favorite part of the process and, in my humble opinion, just as important as the firing in terms of surface development. Observing and helping with this loading and firing was extremely interesting since it was generally similar to the methods I am familiar with and therefore I felt I could understand his decisions. However, every wood fire ceramist does things a bit differently and it's always interesting to witness this. Koichiro Isezaki really is one of the very finest young potters working today.
Constructing a basic form
Each day here starts with a comprehensive cleaning of the studio which includes sweeping the studio and out door work spaces, wetting the clay floor (which, incidentally, is fantastic to stand on-much better than concrete) and generally putting everything back in its place. After cleaning, we begin the work of the day. While the specific tasks vary and often we will be working on several projects at once, things are very rhythmic and cyclical.
The kiln of Bizen potter, Kondo-san
As I mentioned above, I was fortunate enough to arrive at the beginning of a cycle. Making ceramics begins with making clay. While many potters use commercial clay (clay that has been mined on a large scale and heavily refined), Mr. Isezaki uses almost exclusively local, unprocessed clay. First the dry clay is crushed by hand and large stones, twigs and other material are picked out (though some stones are left in as they add to the character of the clay and thus to the finished work). The clay is then put into large wooden boxes with water to hydrate it. After several days or weeks the clay is taken out and put into terracotta pots to dry it back to working consistency and finally it is run through a pug mill (a machine which mixes and compresses the clay). Mr Isezaki used a number of different natural clays which are blended in different proportions depending on the form he is making.
Shards from the site of a 1000 year old kiln
After the clay is prepared, we can begin making the forms. Some forms Mr. Isezaki makes entirely by himself and some are begun by the apprentices and finished by him. Roughing out simple forms to his specifications can be very challenging. While I am certainly not an expert potter, I am not a novice either. It has been very humbling to work in this studio. For example, to take a given weight of clay and make a given size slab by pounding it out by hand without cutting or touching the edges requires that every time the clay is touched it is touched consciously and deliberately. The slight changes in dimension that occur with every touch must be monitored closely so that the whole piece of clay is slowly and evenly transformed. As I said, I am not a novice, but I am learning a whole new level of working with the clay.
In addition to making clay and preparing forms, there are many other tasks around the studio. We have already begun preparing for the firing. It took the other two apprentices and me several days to clean the kiln and and all of the kiln furniture (the shelves and posts that the pottery is placed on in the kiln). Other tasks in preparation for the firing include pounding rice straw (which is used to burn orange lines into the potter) and making "bota" (slabs of refractory clay of various shapes used to influence the flame patterns left on the pottery).

Beautiful, evocative patterns emerge from hands of ceramic artist
Sculptor Eric Knoche loves patterns.
He's been known to check cloud formations for the face of Elvis.
His artwork, on display at Anderson O'Brien Fine Art in west Omaha, arranges wood-fired ceramics into beautifully evocative patterns.
In fact, the first thing you see when entering the gallery is "Aurora," a collection of ceramic squares and rectangles that Knoche arranged into a giant starburst.
Works such as his "Untitled Expansion No. 1" and "Untitled Expansion No. 2" don't form a specific shape. But they do seem to radiate out from a central point, like an expanding ceramic universe.
The works are abstract, hence the moniker "Untitled." Still, the patterns of seemingly expanding ceramic tiles imbue the works with remarkable energy.
Like most ceramists, Knoche makes some functional art — that is, art that can be used around the house.
His two beautiful flower vases fall into that category. These works have a modern, angular design.
"Flower Vase No. 1" is especially striking for its decorations — the hardened pottery seems to have fossilized shells imprinted on the sides. It's as if the artist turned beautiful fossilized stone into art.
Some of Knoche's other works are less functional.
His ceramic platters, for instance, lack flat surfaces, making them impractical for everyday use.
Knoche has some favorite shapes. One, in particular, is shaped roughly like a ship's curved hull.
He put two of them together in a work called "Two Boats."
He arranged six of them in a work called "Stacked Ribcage in Six Pieces." They're stacked to look somewhat like a bow tie.
Knoche encourages the viewer to imagine his ceramics arranged in different patterns.
That's kind of what he does when he searches for Elvis in the clouds.

Traditional Palestinian Red on Black Embroidered Scarf
This elegant hand embroidered scarf features the most traditional of Palestinian tatreez colors and motifs on a black linen shawl with tassels. Scarves like these are a traditional accessory for women in Palestine and the tatreez or cross stitch is a traditional skill handed down from one generation to the next.
This scarf is made by women at the Sulafa Embroidery Center in Gaza which supports around 250 local artisans by commissioning traditional and contemporary embroidered goods. The purchase of a Sulafa product allows these women to support their families, which often rely on only one source of income.
Dimensions: 176x48 cm | 70x19"

Hotlink Protection URL Calculation
Last updated: 2019-09-11 11:34:44PDF
Security hotlink protection refers to the txSecret field in the push and playback URLs, which is used to prevent attackers from forging your backend for push URL generation or stealing your playback address for illegal profit.
How It Works
In order to prevent an attacker from forging your server to generate push and playback URLs, you can configure the hotlink protection encryption key in the LVB Console as shown below (do not disclose this key), so that the attacker cannot easily fake valid push and playback URLs:
Calculation Process
Step 1: Exchange keys
First, you need to configure an encryption key in the console, which is used to generate the hotlink protection signature on your server. Since Tencent Cloud holds the same key as you do, it can decrypt and confirm the signature you generate.
An encryption key can be either a push hotlink protection key or a playback hotlink protection key. The former is used to generate a push hotlink protection URL, while the latter a playback hotlink protection URL. Currently, you can configure a push hotlink protection key in the LVB Console as shown below:
For more information on the playback hotlink protection key, see Best Practices - LVB Playback.
Step 2: Generate txTime
The plaintext in the signature is txTime, which is the validity period of the link. For example, if the current time is 2018-12-29 11:13:45, and the URL to be generated is expected to be valid for 3 hours, then txTime should be set to 2018-12-29 14:13:45.
However, it is obviously inappropriate to put such a long string of time in the URL. In actual use, we convert 2018-12-29 14:13:45 to a UNIX timestamp first, i.e., 1546064025 (matters related to the conversion and various backend programming languages are all taken care of by a time function), and then convert it to a hexadecimal string to further reduce the character length, i.e., txTime = 1546064025 (decimal) = 5C271099 (hexadecimal). Using a decimal string is also supported.
The txTime should not be too long or too short:
- If the expiration time is too short, when the host encounters network jitters during a live broadcast, the push cannot be resumed because the push URL expires.
- If the expiration time is too long, there may be a risk of hotlinking.
Step 3: Generate txSecret
The generation method of txSecret is MD5(KEY + StreamName + txTime). KEY is the encryption key configured in step 1. StreamName, also known as stream ID, is Test in this example (we recommend using a random number or a user ID). txTime is the 5C271099 calculated in last step, and MD5 is a standard irreversible one-way MD5 hash algorithm.
For example:
KEY is e12c46f2612d5106e2034781ab261ca3 Then txSecret = MD5(e12c46f2612d5106e2034781ab261ca3test5C271099) = f85a2ab363fe4deaffef9754d79da6fe
Step 4: Splice the hotlink protection URL
A push URL that conforms to the Tencent Cloud standard consists of the following four parts:
Now that we have a push (or playback) that tells Tencent Cloud the URL expiration time (txTime) and only Tencent Cloud can decrypt and verify the txSecret, StreamName, and push domain name (assumed as livepush.tcloud.com), we can put together a standard URL. In this example, the push URL is:
Sample Code
Go to LVB Console > Domain Management, select a pre-configured push domain name, click Manage > Push Configuration to display the Push Address Sample Code (for both PHP and Java) that demonstrates how to generate a hotlink protection address.

Anyone else feeling hopeless, financially?

I'm sorry you're feeling hopeless ... Divorces sure do cost..
... Maybe it would help to focus on some positives ... and there are always positives ... and then write out a plan. As for positives, remember that CS/SS isn't forever ...
... I mean, the kids will grow up, so the CS part will finish. Do you have a termination date on the SS? Is your Ex obligated to get a job? (Shouldn't she be working?!) Is she obligated to eventually become self-sufficient? And if so, is there a review date on your order for SS? Did you own a home/etc. together to be sold/bought out? And, of course, there is also the chance that she (or you) will meet someone (romantically) with whom you may eventually share living expenses, and the amount of SS will go down/away. I guess my point is .. it will improve. It s*cks a bit for now though. Try not to feel hopeless .. that'll do you no good. Hang in there.

Typhoon could affect nation
Typhoon Trami has developed into a super typhoon, the Central Weather Bureau yesterday. Trami, which was upgraded into a super typhoon at about 2pm, was1,080km east-southeast of the nation's southernmost tip, bureau data showed. It was moving west-northwest toward Japan's Ryukyu Islands at 17kph. It could start affecting Taiwan on Friday, the bureau said, adding that there is a chance that the eye could cross Taiwan. Ferry services between Taitung County and Orchid Island (Lanyu, 蘭嶼) are to be suspended from noon today until Friday and services between Taitung and Green Island (綠島) are to be halted from tomorrow to Friday, ferry operators said.
Giraffe dies of 'choking'
Hsiao Shun (宵順), a male giraffe in the privately run Wanpi World Safari Zoo in Tainan, died suddenly in its enclosure on Sunday, the zoo said yesterday. A preliminary finding following an autopsy suggests that it died of choking, the zoo said. A photo of the seven-year-old animal lying on the ground at the zoo was posted on social media, with the person who took the photo writing Hsiao Shun fell to the ground suddenly, vomited and stopped moving. A veterinarian checked Hsiao Shun and pronounced it dead. Hsiao Shun was the sixth offspring of a giraffe couple at Taipei Zoo. It was sent to Wanpi World for mating in 2013 under a giraffe conservation cooperation program with Taipei Zoo, in the hope of increasing the diversity of genes of giraffes in captivity.
Schools set up Pune center
National Chengchi University and Flame University of India have set up a Center for South Asian and Southeast Asian Studies, with the aim of making it an important platform for academic and policy exchanges between the two nations. The center was founded in Pune, the second-largest city in the western Indian state of Maharashtra, on Friday last week. It is tasked with promoting and integrating bilateral academic exchanges between Taiwan and India, said center executive director Liu Chi-feng (劉奇峰), a Taiwanese associate professor of politics at Flame University, adding that it should help promote mutual understanding and cooperation between Taiwanese and Indian students.
Flood control impresses
The mayor of the Philippine city of Dipolog yesterday proposed setting up a system between his city and Kaohsiung to exchange experiences in flood management in the face of challenges posed by extreme weather conditions. Dipolog Mayor Darel Dexter Uy brought up the idea while visiting a 4.5-hectare detention basin in Kaohsiung's Sanmin District (三民) — one of 15 such facilities in the city that also serves as park. The detention ponds are effective in reducing rainwater runoff, as seen when meter-high floods in parts of Kaohsiung triggered by heavy rains late last month receded within one hour, said Han Jung-hua (韓榮華), acting head of the city's Waters Resources Bureau. As climate change has made more extreme weather events inevitable, the emphasis in flood management should be shifted from flood prevention to disaster mitigation and evacuation, Han said while accompanying Uy on a tour of the pond. Uy said he planned the visit hoping to learn from Kaohsiung's experience in flood management, because Dipolog has never made use of artificial flow control structures such as detention basins, despite being vulnerable to flooding.

"Until now you have not asked for anything in my name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete." John 16:24
Feathers softly fall like gentle kisses, and that's exactly what they are. Kisses from God.
I have prayed and asked God for many things throughout my life but I never stopped to pray to ask for something intimate, that's just from Him. It's not that I didn't think it was possible but I was too caught up in asking for things like: " God help me in this financial problem", "God send me a husband that loves me for me", "God seek my daughter/ sons to know you and love you". I never thought to ask God for something so personal that is just between me and Him so that I could KNOW He loves me, that he sees me in my mess; until one day I did and It was amazing.
I had joined a support group just for women who were in the midst of heartbreak and seeking healing from their husbands porn addiction. The leader of this group has become a dear friend and her love for God is fierce. During a session, she was talking to us about asking God for kisses; a sign just from Him. I immediately thought no way, this is a little silly but I opened my heart and my mind and prayed about it. Honestly, it took me a couple weeks because I think deep down I didn't believe God would show up like this for me. Finally, one night I said "ok God, I need you. I need to know that you see me, I need to know I can trust you in this because I am scared. God, give me white feathers to let me know you love me." I was in a desperate place to actually see God working because He felt so far away. So the next day, guess what? A single white feather on the driver side of my car. No bird in the sky, no other feathers around but just one and it was pure white! I began to cry tears of joy and praise because God Saw Me! That was 4 years ago and since then single white feathers will be randomly placed in my path. I see them and praise God for His love for me and I believe. I believe that I can ask God the deepest desires of my heart and he will answer. These feathers have become a shield around me protecting me from doubt and strengthening my love and trust in God.
Maybe you need to change the way you view God. We often say that we have a "personal " relationship with Him, but do we? Or in the back of our mind do we limit him? Do we believe but feel like he has more important things to do than place a feather on my windshield? Sure when we say it out loud it sounds a lot worse than when it's in that compartment in the back of our mind. But that's exactly what we do, we limit the power of God in our lives, often time because we don't feel worthy or deserving. Not to sound cliche…but let's be real… He sent his son to die a horrendous death for me and for you. Let him love you intimately in whatever place you are in life. He longs to love on us, that's why he created us.

Long Island (1 review)
Long Island Lemon
As I review this, I am in Long Island. I am drinking Long Island Iced Tea in Long Island. This, as if it needs to be said, is non-alcoholic. It is just iced tea. It is a sweetened iced tea but there isn't much "tea" flavor. It isn't bad but it's just kind of sweetened stuff. If Nestea was better, it would be this. It's not fantastic and it doesn't taste like a sweet tea with lemon. It tastes like a general "iced tea" made with real sugar and with lemon flavor. I would say "nothing to write about" but writing about drinks is kind of what I do. Long Island...you never cease to bore me.

Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD:-Avoid sudden vomiting, nausea and dizzinessLocation: San Jose, CA
Date: 2019-12-02
I guess you'll agree. Apart from the duty, you won't discover anything. I am catching a couple of sharp arguments relating to this accoutrement. Here are nine ways to sneak up on your Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD Benefits. It is questionable if Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD will be able to go on this way.Otherwise I could go on forever on the subject of Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD. You have to banish such suspicions. Three of ten individuals said they have changed the way they manage their Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD Benefits as a result. I use a random method when I talk in relation to it. There is nothing quite like your trite remark. What do I mean by a lousy Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD Trial Offers? To the best of my knowledge, that is still intact. I don't know but this seemed not to work for me. I can't imagine a better scenario. As long ago as 2002, I insisted there was no Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD Ingredients worthy of recognition but it's an inconceivable complement when a person thinks enough of my fallacy. I'm very impulsive. You will make friends with using this. It's always something. Are you foolish to do that? It is hard to actually have a balance between all the different Formula Swiss Full Spectrum CBD Review options.

In QuickBooks Desktop Payroll, an employee may want to receive part of their paycheck through direct deposit and part of it paid as a paper check. QuickBooks Desktop Payroll cannot automatically process a split payment as a single payroll check.
There are two ways to split a paycheck so that part of it is paid through direct deposit and the rest is paid as a paper check:
To create two checks for the pay period:
Note: Using this method can cause federal and state taxes to be under reported because of the individual gross amounts on the separate checks. Advise employee before choosing this option.
- Begin payroll as normal and process the direct deposit part of the paycheck first.
- Note: If you want to deposit a percentage of the check, calculate the percentage of the gross first. For example, say your employee earns $1000.00 gross. The employee wants 95% of their wages to be paid through Direct Deposit and 5% as a paper check. The paycheck with direct deposit would have a gross of $950.00, and the paper check would have a gross of $50.00.
- When you are done with the direct deposit check, close the confirmation window and select Send later when QuickBooks Desktop prompts you to send the payroll.
- Process an additional (unscheduled) payroll for the paper check. Uncheck the Use Direct Deposit box in the paycheck detail screen, which changes the check to a paper check for the remaining amount of the gross pay owed.
- Print the pay stub and paycheck as needed and send your payroll data as you normally would.
To add a deduction item to the paper check:
- Begin payroll as normal and enter the paycheck information.
- Add a deduction item with a Tax Tracking Type of None, similar to a paycheck advance. See Create Employee Advances And Repayments In QuickBooks Desktop to learn how to create a deduction payroll item.
- Use the deduction to reduce the check by the amount the employee wants to receive as a paper check.
- Complete the payroll and send it.
- Select Banking > Write Checks.
- Create a manual check from the account used for the deduction to pay the employee the amount they want to receive in a paper check.Note: There are no additional processing fees for the paper check, but normal direct deposit fees apply.
