How Properly Removing Trash Affects the Environment
In America, we have a ton of waste. Even though we only account for 5% of the world's population, we produce 30% of its waste. This relates to an endless amount of trash that isn't getting disposed of properly and in turn, negatively affecting the environment.
Throughout this article, we're going to give you some tips and tricks on how to best get rid of your waste and how you'll help the environment in the process.
Keep Track of Electronics
Electronic waste (or e-waste) has become a bigger problem over the years as we gradually introduce new electronics into our lives. Electronics like computers, printers, and cell phones aren't meant to be thrown away in landfills.
When they are, the hard metals that they're made of seeps into the soil and gets into the groundwater. This inevitably produces carcinogens that people might be drinking unknowingly.
Research trash removal companies in your area specialize in dealing with this e-waste, and they'll often come to pick it up for free. When dealing with electronics that still work, consider donating it to a charity, thrift store, or a school.
Separate Recyclables
Being aware of your recyclables keeps materials that don't belong in landfills away from them. Keep in mind that most furniture items made from wood or metal are recyclable.
Additionally, some plastics are recyclable as well. This keeps our impact on Earth minimal and makes a big difference when we're all giving a helping hand.
Chemicals and Drugs
When dealing with old chemicals and unused medications, many people think to drop them down the drain. But, this often causes water pollution and contamination. Instead, the answer may be closer than you think.
Look on the label and look for proper disposing instructions; most chemicals have the answer right on the bottle. When it comes to unused medication, many pharmacies have a take back feature that you can use to get these medicines taken care of.
Reducing Air Pollution
Some trash is okay to burn like paper, leaves, and even some fabrics. But other items like plastic and rubber release toxic fumes when burned. To prevent air pollution, research what items can and can't be burned before you set fire to your trash.
Recycling is Everything
You really can't say it enough, but recycling makes a huge impact on the environment. It keeps the environment cleaner by keeping landfills down and reduces the number of toxins that seep into the ground after products break down.
The best way to deal with trash is to think beyond the landfill. There are many other options that you have then just thrown it away that extends the life of your once well-loved items. Consider donating it to a thrift store or a charity. Maybe you can even make some money off of your old things.
If you must throw these things away, be sure to research the best way to dispose of these items or enlist a professional commercial cleaning service to do the dirty deed for you. Taking care of the trash will make a great impact on the environment and in turn make the world a cleaner place to be.

We hear the terms "lean product development" and "hardware revolution" thrown around as descriptors for the future of hardware, but what do those ambitious labels really mean?
We asked four hardware startups, in the midst of it all, to define exactly what "lean" means to them and how it influences the way they develop hardware products.
In this panel discussion, Alex Selig the CEO of SoundFocus, Chris McKleroy the VP of Product at Boombotix, Massimo Andreasi Bassi the CTO of Luna, and Alex Neskin the CTO of Petcube share their insights and experience around the lean development methods and philosophies behind four unique and successful hardware products.

Think of where you'd be if you didn't have your home-based business. You either rely entirely on the income from your home-based business, or at least count on it as a nice supplement. This article can help you to make sure you keep running your home business enterprise, and make money besides.
If your home business requires an Internet connection, don't miss out on the tax deductions for it. Most of these costs may be deducted from earnings, though it can't be more than half if other family members use it.
Work to keep your customers satisfied. You need a lot less effort to get repeat sales than new sales. When you please your customers, they will come back.
Starting a home based business can be exciting, but it also takes a ton of initiative and a burning desire to bring your dreams into reality. Some counties have regulations specifying the criteria for buildings used for commercial purposes. Depending on your county's laws, you may want to consider having a separate office built on your property, so you do not have to bring clients into your personal residence. Consider renting office space, so you can easily separate home and work life.
The ideal time to begin your new online business venture is when you still have a job. Your new business will not take off right away, so be sure to stay with your current job for the time being. It is wise to stick to your job while waiting to build profits from your new business.
Look for forums and discussion groups online. These are excellent for networking, and they can help you build your brand and product names up. Who knows what could come from the contacts you make from these sites.
Promote your work from home business by using SEO techniques. For people who wish to market online to a large network of individuals, SEO work is key. Look into guides for optimizing your own website, or look into hiring a professional to do it for you.
At first it may seem nice to work in your pajamas, but before long you may miss interacting with others on a daily basis. Try to become involved in activities that allow you to maintain personal connections.
When you work at home, it is quite easy to let work take over your life. Set aside time each day that is devoted to your social life and your family, not working.
Meet with other work from home business owners in the area. This way, you'll be able to enjoy events away from your home, and you'll get support and publicity. Getting out and seeing people is good for you too.
Strive for a professional online appearance. A sloppy, poorly designed and unprofessional website will turn customers off and drive them away quickly. Study the layout, design and components of existing websites with a professional appearance. This will assist you in developing your own professional site.
Your online business needs to stay successful to keep your lifestyle intact. It is hoped that you put the suggestions found here to good use and build a successful home based business to be proud of.

Community backlash over the burial of a whale carcass at Collendina has prompted authorities to exhume and relocate the mammal.
A petition to remove the carcass attracted more than 2000 signatures.
The carcass was removed today by the Department of Environment, Land, Water and Planning (DELWP).
The humpback whale was washed ashore at 5W in a state of advanced decomposition and was buried at the beach by DELPW.
But fears of increased risk of shark activity prompted a backlash from the local community.
Several surfing events were cancelled and Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club cancelled its patrol season opener on Sunday because of the dead whale while 13th Beach Boardriders was also impacted.
DELWP consulted with partner agencies including Barwon Coast Committee, the City of Greater Geelong and Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club while planning the operation before removing the carcass.
An incident management team was deployed to safely remove and dispose of the remains.
Incident controller Barry James said the operation took 10 hours to complete.
Mr James said factors that required careful consideration included odour impacts, the operation of heavy machinery around a built up coastal area and management of the whale's remains.
"This analysis, combined with feedback from the community, identified removal as the most suitable option," Mr James said.
"Around 20 personnel from DELWP, Parks Victoria and the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources supported today's operation.
"The removal process involved exhuming the whale from the beach and transporting it to a transfer area near the Ocean Grove Surf Life Saving Club's beach access ramp.
"Additional sand was removed from the area to clear any remnants, and the beach reinstated."
The carcass was dissected and transported along with the contaminated surrounding sand to landfill in Drysdale.
DEWLP discouraged beach goers from swimming between Point Lonsdale to Barwon Heads based on advice from Fisheries and Wildlife.
Until as late as yesterday, pieces of the whale carcass were still being sighted in the water.

Latest census data shows population decline in 52 Missouri counties
COLUMBIA - New census data shows, while Missouri's population increased slightly last year compared to 2017, more than 52 counties lost population.
Callaway County lost 55 people. The county's presiding commissioner, Gary Jungermann, said he did not see the new numbers yet, but 0.1% change in the population is not "hundreds of people".
Cooper County lost 40 people, and now its population is 17,603 people. Commissioner Don Baragary said the change of 0.25% is "insignificant."
"We have no way of knowing how the population is fluctuated until we have the data," he said.
Population in Boone County increased by nearly 1,500 to 180,005.
Boone County Presiding Commissioner Daniel Atwill said it has seen steady growth for decades.
"If you go back to 1970, the population of Boone County was 80,000 people," he said. "During these 48 years, Boone County has grown by 100,000 people."
Atwill said the growth in Boone County is remarkable, given what's happening in other areas.
"It's hard to figure out why would people leave until you look at the things people expect to see - health care, education, insurance, entertainment," he said.
Atwill said employment might be a significant factor in why people would leave their home county.
"The number of people who come here for work is rather high," he said.
Missouri, in general, saw its population rise 0.3% to an estimated 6,126,452.

Neo Enters The Matrix
Guess that's what GM Pres - Mark Reuss, CEO - Ed Whitacre, and every US taxpayer is asking about Marketing Maverick - Joel Ewanick entering the GM Matrix.
Are 'you' the one to save the company and our investment?
Many comments about this move, eg - Here, Here, and Here.
As per April Auto Sales Reports, GM success lags behind the comp [and the 20% Industry gain]. Sales by brand, Cadillac / Buick exceeded Ind. avg., Chevy / GMC did not [mis-typed April 09 Bowtie #, BTW]. And the GM 'DeadToMe' brands ARE hurting the mth-to-mth %'s, as GM is not replacing those losses.
So, with Joel Ewanick, here is a move to recraft newGM. As a veteran of my own attempts to storm the defenses of oldGM, I wonder if Joel's first meeting will go something like this?
And I am raising my hand, right now.
Having met Joel in Hyundai meetings - Having my own unfinished biz with GM - Mr. E, I would like to help you make something good happen for newGM. Just offering.
Remember, even Neo couldn't get it done alone.
But, being honest, I'm more of a 'Tank / Dozer' team member, not your 'Trinity'. For a host of reasons!

When 'Full' Means Only 10%
Trusting a brand starts with being true to the truth.
[Uh, Toyota? We got this, now?]
So, GM is telling the world its gov loans are repaid "in full", suggesting - GM is free of handouts, GM has cash again, GM is back.
Oh, really? Like those EPA fuel mileage window-stickers, these GM claims should also come with an 'actual results may vary' disclaimer.
First, there is the cash question. Is GM cash rich from biz improvement, giving back excess government money it received and doesn't need, OR using one loan to pay off the other? [See my uncle Angelo for details on that last concept.]
The bigger issue is the FACT that GM's repayment represents but a fraction of the $50 billion bailout it received from U.S. / Canadian governments, most of which won't be paid back. Instead it's been converted into GM stock [TBD on this ROI story].
All not exactly consistent with THIS W's wording to the world - "We've repaid our governement loan IN FULL, with interest".
Surely, Ed's not hoping people will think GM is completely free of public welfare / 'socialist' control? What is it with 'W's' and implied truth?
And stay tuned for that whole 'Volt will be here in October' claim, too.
UPDATE - Ha!

The Kids Are Alright
I like stories like this NY Times column because -
a] It takes the macro-view of things,
b] It puts the negative spin about the here / now into perspective.
Youth, diversity, enterprise, education, fertile thinking.
All good. Because the kids are alright.

Less Is More? Less is Less!
So, wait a minute. The Internet, the source of knowledge / the home of deeper information search is now accepted by clients and their agencies ONLY as the domain of short-from video........?
While Television, the creator of 'short-attention spans' across the globe, is where brands see long-form video storytelling as better?
So sayeth the quoted in this NY Times story.
This can't be about Internet bandwidth, as aren't we @ 75% of US Households already with broadband and the US trailing other global markets that are faster streamers than we? Or is this, once again, traditional thinking clinging to the traditional TV model -
* Agency bottom-lines [making $ producing spots AND buying media].
* Clients still thinking 'most eyeballs = more TV spending'.
I'm all for the continued convergence of media[s], but, I'm watching this [not TV] and wondering what's really at the bottom of the thinking.

When It's Not Work
And maybe you can channel such thinking - to put 'some air' - into your next project, work assignment, or career '540 Mute' [a Tony-invented fave] move.

Not This Year!
I bring this up NOT to pile on as another detractor.
Toyota is a career Alma Mater.
No, this post is here as a thought-provoker.
To suggest one looks at the events / actions / reactions. To learn -
* That Process, People, Strategy, and Tactics are 'success-deciders'.
* That 'success' requires constant vigilance.
* That objectives must be checked to assure they do not conflict.
* That the toughest job of any company is to get its people to understand their true responsibilities, the implications of their every actions, AND to activate the pride, presence, and freedom in each associate to allow them to stop / think / act to do the best they can.
The Toyota mess is not the result of chasing GM - To be the biggest.
If it was that simple it would be an easy fix.
I fear it it may be more deeply rooted. It may be endemic to why Toyota builds a $375,000 250 unit supercar, wastes $$Billions on a failed never-winning F1 team, AT THE EXACT SAME TIME it messes up its core business by taking actions that surrender the foundation to its reputation - Quality.
It may be as simple as - Focus.
It probably includes - Smarts, too [Not the cars....the thinking thing].

I have a computer with a video card that has HDMI output. I have a HDMI cable connecting the computer to the monitor. I can see analog AND digital signals just fine. What I mean by analog is the POST messages and multiboot screen. On another computer I have a video card with VGA and DVI-I outputs and a monitor that has VGA and DVI-D inputs. Connecting a VGA cable works fine showing the POST/multiboot screens. Connecting the DVI-D cable shows no analolg signals at all; all it allows is WIndows once it starts loading. I understand the extra four pins are not engaged when connecting a DVI-D to a DVI-I output so the analog signals will not show. I don't understand why the HDMI, which is supposed to be digital, shows the analog signals while booting; you think it would not. This is bafflling. Is there an adapter you can use to see analog signals when connecting a DVI-D to a DVI-I output and a DVI-D input on a monitor? Or is DVI just out of the question? The industry seems to have gone haywire with DVI cables! There's so many different kinds to make your head spin! I've heard that you can set the video adapter up to output the analog signals but if the monitor accepts only DVI-D input, that seems like it wouldn't work either, am I right? Thank you.
P.S. If I really want to hook up a DVI-D cable to the computer instead of a VGA, do I need to buy a new video card? Seems typical!
"What I mean by analog is the POST messages and multiboot screen."
Just because the POST/boot screens are low resolution images doesn't mean that they're analog. Anything that gets piped out of an HDMI jack is digital--whether it's a low resolution POST screen or a computer game running at 2560x1600.
Is your monitor plugged into the first/primary DVI port? On certain video cards, the secondary DVI port won't "engage" until after Windows loads the video driver.
Super PIII | Unlocked ES Tualatin @ 1.8GHz (150x12, 1.65v, 512K L2)
2GB PC2700 | 500GB | Radeon x1950Pro | Apollo Pro 266T | Win 7 Pro
HDMI & DVI send the same digital signal & have the same video quality. Basically, HDMI is nothing more DVI + audio in a single interface.
Digital Visual Interface (DVI)
It is partially compatible with the High-Definition Multimedia Interface (HDMI) standard in digital mode (DVI-D), and VGA in analog mode (DVI-A).
DVI and HDMI compatibility
HDMI is a newer digital audio/video interface developed and promoted by the consumer electronics industry. Both DVI and HDMI share the same electrical specifications for the TMDS and VESA/DDC links. However, HDMI and DVI differ in several key ways.
First, HDMI lacks analog VGA compatibility, as these signals are absent in the HDMI connector.
Second, DVI is limited to the RGB color space, whereas HDMI supports both RGB and YCbCr.
Finally, HDMI supports the transport of digital audio, in addition to digital video. An HDMI source differentiates between a legacy DVI display and an HDMI-capable display by reading the display's EDID block.
The DVI connector on a device is therefore given one of three names, depending on which signals it implements:
* DVI-D (digital only, both single-link and dual-link)
* DVI-A (analog only)
* DVI-I (integrated - digital and analog)
Virtually all actual video CARDS, that you install in a mboard slot and can remove, that have a DVI port, and MOST mboards that have a DVI port for onboard video, have a DVI-I port - a standard DVI to VGA gender adapter, or a standard DVI-I to VGA cable, WILL work with the DVI-I port to provide a VGA (analog) video signal to a monitor.
SOME mboards that have a DVI port for onboard video have a DVI-D port - a standard DVI to VGA gender adapter, or a standard DVI-I to VGA cable, WILL NOT work with the DVI-D port to provide a VGA (analog) video signal to a monitor.
If you use a DVI-D cable connection, or if the monitor has a DVD-D port, you cannot get VGA (analog) video from the video adapter..
"I have a computer with a video card that has HDMI output. I have a HDMI cable connecting the computer to the monitor. I can see analog AND digital signals just fine."
"I don't understand why the HDMI, which is supposed to be digital, shows the analog signals while booting; you think it would not."
I don't understand that either.
Are they HDMI ports on both ends of the connection ?
Or -are you using a gender adapter on the monitor end to adapt it to a DVI port ?
Or what ?
Does the first monitor have both VGA and HDMI ports, or both VGA and DVI-I ports, and you had both connected ?
Usually, if not always, the monitor will accept only one type of video input at a time. If you had both connected, you were probably getting VGA video.
To all:
Thanks for responding.
To tubesandwires:
The computer with the HDMI cable has HDMI ports on BOTH ends, on the video card and on the monitor. I am not using any adapter. The POST messages are clearly seen.
The other computer has a DVI-I port on the video card and a DVI-D port on back of the monitor. Connecting a DVI-D cable does not show the POST messages; it only shows Windows once it starts loading. Connecting a VGA cable shows everything.
What if you need to get into the BIOS? Or in my case, select an OS from the multiboot screen? I'm sure there are cases when a user would want to do this. However, with the DVI-D cable connected I can't do either. I must resort to a VGA cable.
The part I don't understand is, how is the HDMI cable showing POST messages?
I'm resigned to the fact that I have to use a VGA cable on the one computer. No big deal, since DVI is not that much different than VGA.
But, out of curiosity, I was wondering how could the HDMI cable let the POST messages through? By the way, the other computer also has a DVI-I output in addition to HDMI. I bet that if you hook up a DVI-D cable to it, you'll get the same thing: No POST messages! Whoever came out with DVI-D did not see the whole picture. Appparently this cable is for those who never want to access their BIOS, see POST messages or see a multiboot screen. No, I am not using a boot manager. My observation is that this sort of inconsistency seems to be the norm in the computer industry. We have to grin and bear it!
I don't know why you get the video before Windows loads when you use the HDMI cable between HDMI ports on both ends.
It doesn't make sense to me that any computer monitor, or monitor port on a TV, would have a DVI-D port rather than a DVI-I one. Are you SURE it's a DVI-D port ?
If it's a DVI-I port, a DVI-I cable to a DVI-I port on the video adapter WILL produce video before Windows loads.
There was a guy who started a Topic here not long ago who had a new Samsung monitor with a HDMI port and a VGA port. It came with a VGA cable, a HDMI cable, and a DVI to HDMI cable.He was getting no video before Windows loaded when he used the DVI to HDMI cable connected to, I assume, a DVI-I port on the onboard video adapter or video card. The VGA cable produced the video before Windows loads.
He was multi-booting two operating systems, so in addition to needing to be able to access the bios while booting, he needed to be able to chose other than the default operating system.
Apparently the same Samsung monitor model is available with several possible configurations of pairs of input ports, another one being a DVI port, I assume a DVI-I one, and a VGA port .
I have one mboard that has a VGA port and a HDMI port for it's onboard video, that came with a HDMI to DVI adapter, and one video card that has a DVI-I port and a HDMI port, but all my monitors have a VGA port only, and our TV has no HDMI or monitor ports.
NOTE what I said previously...
"SOME mboards that have a DVI port for onboard video have a DVI-D port - a standard DVI to VGA gender adapter, or a standard DVI-I to VGA cable, WILL NOT work with the DVI-D port to provide a VGA (analog) video signal to a monitor."
The term CARD is often mis-used.
If the video adapter is built into the mboard IT'S NOT A CARD !
"I'm resigned to the fact that I have to use a VGA cable on the one computer. No big deal, since DVI is not that much different than VGA."
I certainly agree with that. I think DVI's another one of of those things that is better in theory but in the real world I haven't seen that there is much difference .
Also, you usually have more resolution choices to choose from when the monitor is in VGA mode in Windows
Guess what? That guy was me! Yes, I am sure the input on the monitor is DVI-D. It has 18 female pins plus a female tongue-like connector next to the pins. The video card, however, has 18 pins, tongue-like slot and four more pins, 2 above and 2 underneath the tongue-like slot. These four extra pins are what carry the analog signal. If you're not engaging those pins, you won't get the POST messages. A DVI-D cable ignores those pins. Therefore, there are no POST messages. VGA is analog, so you can see everything. That's why I said the industry messed up when they decided to make DVI cables with just digital signals. Say goodbye to the analog signals or whatever they're supposed to be. All the monitors I've seen have DVI-D inputs, in keeping with the digital craze. And I think it must be hard to find a DVI-I cable anymore! As far as the industry is concerned that's ludicrous! But the poor people who want to get into the BIOS, etc. are left in the dust! That's why I've come to the conclusion that the best option for me is to go with a monitor that has both VGA and HDMI inputs. DVI-D inputs are of no use to me at all!
"Guess what? That guy was me! "
I should have clicked on your name to find that previous Topic you made:
"All the monitors I've seen have DVI-D inputs, in keeping with the digital craze"
I haven't looked into that, but if that's the case, then there must be something else involved here that is causing your problem, but I have no idea what it is.
Obviously most people have no problem getting video before Windows loads when they use a DVI connection to a monitor, otherwise we'd be hearing about that problem a lot.
I just tried searching the web with Yahoo using:
DVI connection no video before Windows loads
Apparently the problem DOES happen sometimes.
I may have already referred you to this in your other Topic about your Samsung monitor:
737-370: Troubleshooting Common DVI Flat Panel Display Issues
Other possibilities.
If the monitor is connected to the Secondary output port of the video adapter, NOT the Primary one, you may get no video until Windows loads.
In that case if the video adapter has two outputs, if you connect two monitors, the one connected to the Primary port of the video adapter WILL produce video before Windows loads .
I have seen that problem with older video cards, before there was onboard video with more than one monitor port, not with newer ones, but that's possible with newer ones.
That's not the same thing as whether Windows sees the monitor as the Primary display. If there is only one monitor connected, it's always seen as the Primary display in Windows.
"If there is only one monitor connected, it's always seen as the Primary display in Windows."
That's my case. But, as I said, with a DVI-D cable connected to a DVI-I output, the extra four pins are not engaged. Therefore I do not see POST messages. My only option in this case is to use a VGA cable. As far as I know there is no way around this. Unless there's some kind of adapter you can use. The adapter would have to go on the back of the monitor as a DVI-D to DVI-I connection. Even if you could do this, the signals will still be lost since you're going from DVI-I to DVI-D.
Someone (from a cable store online) mentioned that I could look into the card software and see what signals each port is putting out. But why bother? The extra four pins are not being used, period. That leaves VGA as the only option. Unless there's something else I'm not aware of. But I don't think so. I have an old video card that uses a DVI-I connection. The industry has since moved on to DVI-D and HDMI. These are the problems you sometimes face in ByteLand.
There is no disputing that you can't get VGA video from a DVI-D connection, but there must be something else involved for you to be able to see video before Windows loads.
Obviously most people have no problem getting video before Windows loads when they use a DVI connection to a monitor, otherwise we'd be hearing about that problem a lot.
Also, you're getting the video before Windows loads when you connect the two HDMI ports despite the fact there is no VGA signal available in a HDMI port.
You're right! I'm stumped on this one too! Maybe it is a function of the card! As someone said a little further up, just because the signals are low level does not mean they are analog. If that's true, then maybe there is a setting in the card firmware which allows these signals to come through. Or maybe an updated driver would help. In meantime, I'm OK with the VGA cable.
"As someone said a little further up, just because the signals are low level does not mean they are analog.:
That's probably the case..
"....maybe there is a setting in the card firmware which allows these signals to come through. "
Extremely unlikely, unless release notes for the firmware that are newer mention fixing the specific problem..
Same goes for firmware for the TV or monitor, if available.
"Or maybe an updated driver would help."
The specific video drivers loaded in Windows have absolutely nothing to do with the video before Windows loads.All video chipsets and mboards support basic video before the operating system loads.

Denver a top moving spot for Californians
Friday, June 08, 2018
By Tim Gallen – Digital Editor, Phoenix Business Journal
With continually rising housing prices, residents of the Golden State are waking up from their California dreamin' and looking to move somewhere more affordable.
One of the top markets Californians are fleeing to is Denver, according to a recent report from real estate website Trulia, which analyzed users from San Francisco, San Jose, Los Angeles and San Diego where homes on the market averaged $720,000 in March 2017. That compared to a nationwide average of $250,000.
Denver was the No. 10 top market for outgoing Californians, attracting 2.7 percent, according to Trulia. New York City was No. 1 at 7.3 percent, followed by Las Vegas at 8.1 percent and Phoenix at 7 percent.
The median listing price for a home in Denver in March 2017 was $437,500, according to Trulia.
Denver has been particularly attractive to Bay Area tech companies in recent years.
Other Californian magnet markets include Atlanta and Chicago as well as other West Coast tech hubs Seattle and Portland.

You will receive a tax return from the Norwegian Tax Administration in March/April if you work in Norway or on the Norwegian continental shelf. The tax return gives an overview of your income, deductions, assets and debts for the last income year.
You must check that the information in the tax return is correct and complete. You do not need to submit it if there are no changes to be made.
If you need to make any changes, the deadline for making them and submitting the tax return is 30 April.
How to check your tax return:
- Check the information
Every month, your employer will send you documentation of the salary you have been paid and how much tax has been deducted. Each January, your employer will also send you an annual statement showing your salary payments and tax deductions for the previous year. When you receive your tax return, you must check the information against this documentation.
- Check whether you are entitled to a deduction
You may be entitled to make deductions for various expenses from your taxable income. These are referred to as 'deductions', and you must add these to your tax return yourself.
- Fill in any additional information
If you are a foreign employee and have worked for a foreign company in Norway, or have worked for a Norwegian or foreign company on the Norwegian continental shelf, you should complete the post 1.5.5 on the tax return. This is important in order that you receive a correct tax statement.
- Check that your address is correct
We must have your correct address to ensure that you receive your tax return and that we will be able to enquire whether the information held about you is correct.
- Register your bank account.
Fill in your bank account for payment of any tax refund.
What happens if you have paid too much or too little tax?
After you have submitted your tax return, the Norwegian Tax Administration will process the information in it and prepare a tax assessment notice. The assessment notice will indicate whether you have paid too much or too little tax. You will be refunded any excess amount if you have paid too much tax. You must pay any amount that you owe if you have paid too little tax.
What happens if you have not received a tax return?
If you are a foreign employee and have not received a tax return before the end of April, you must complete and submit the form RF1281 – Tax return for persons who have not received a pre-completed tax return.

How many plastic bags found a new home with you last week? Considering the average American family brings home 1,500 plastic bags a year (Natural Resources Defense Council), you very likely acquired at least one plastic bag each day. The use of plastics bags has steadily increased in the last 50 years and clearly, they are extremely prevalent in our everyday lives. In fact, plastic bags are one of the most visible signs of pollution there is, extending across the entire planet. So how does one realistically stop contributing to the plastic bag madness?
The best alternative to dependence on plastics bags is to switch to reusable cloth or jute shopping bags. Carry them in your car or purse to keep them handy for those spur of the moment purchases.
If you find yourself with plastic bags you don't want or need, learn how to properly dispose of them to reduce the environmental impact. If you have to throw them away, take a moment to knot them before you toss them to prevent them from becoming blowing litter.

Nov. 2 (UPI) -- The U.S. economy added 250,000 jobs in October and the unemployment rate remains historically low, the U.S. Labor Department said Friday.
The figure surpassed analysts' expectations by about 50,000 jobs.
Part of the surprise had to do with Hurricane Michael, which hit northern Florida and parts of the Gulf region last month. The storm devastated several coastal communities but had "no discernible effect" on national employment, the Labor report said.
Economists, though, said Michael and Hurricane Florence did have measurable impacts. Employment fell by 39,000 in North Carolina and South Carolina, which took the brunt of Florence in late September. Jobless claims rose by 10,000 in Florida and Georgia, where Michael landed.
Nationally, though, unemployment remains at 3.7 percent, the lowest since 1969.
Over the last year, the unemployment rate has fallen 0.4 percent, which represents nearly 450,000 people.
"The labor market is definitely healthy and we're bringing more people into the labor force," Scott Anderson, chief economist at Bank of the West, told The New York Times.
Department figures showed labor force participation rate increased by 0.2 percent, to 62.9 percent, last month, remaining steady for the year. They also showed about 1.5 million Americans have looked for work in the last 12 months, but stopped searching in the four weeks immediately preceding the survey, meaning they don't count as unemployed.
Among those, about 506,000 were "discouraged workers," meaning they don't think there are any jobs available to them. Others "marginally attached" to the workforce are going to school or have family responsibilities, the BLS said.
Friday's report added that average earnings rose 0.2 percent in October and are up 3.1 percent over the past year. That figure might also be skewed by the fact incomes saw a noticeable drop a year ago after Hurricane Harvey landed in east Texas.

It's important to understand the difference between being assertive and aggressive.
Assertiveness isn't a personality type, while aggressiveness is. Aggressive people are task-oriented extroverts; they're energized by interacting with others, but what they care about are outcomes and bottom lines. That's how they can be so fired up, blunt, and forceful, using intimidation to bend all circumstances to their whim.
Being assertive simply means being free to honestly present yourself and your thoughts exactly as you choose to. Continue reading

AMHERST (WSLS 10) - Firefighters are working to contain a brush fire in Amherst County. Authorities said at approximately 6:30 PM on Saturday Amherst County 911 Center received a call for smoke in the area of Thrasher Creek Road.
Pedlar Volunteer Fire Department, Amherst County Public Safety and the Virginia Department of Forestry responded to the scene. The fire was located on Big Mt. Pleaseant in a remote area of the US Forest Service property said officials. As of 8:30 Saturday night, officials said nearly 25 acres had burned.
Authorities warn residents in the area and people traveling on Route 60 (Lexington Turnpike) will be seeing a great deal of smoke due to the fire and windy conditions. Resources from the US Forest Service and the VA Department of Forestry will remain on scene throughout the night with firefighters and a bulldozer to continue to put a line around the fire and monitor throughout the night.
A cause of the fire has not been determined and the fire is not under control.

Unlike some church meetings, where leaders quickly dispense with a hymn, a prayer and a short homily to get down to business, Eastern PA Conference members gave more time and may have found more need for the prelude to their recent Adjourned Session of Annual Conference.
They began the three-hour session, Oct. 1, at Bethany UMC in Macungie by vigorously singing "Great Is Thy Faithfulness." They prayed and then heard the Rev. Robert Johnson of Tindley Temple UMC preach passionately on the theme "You Shall Live and Not Die" from Psalm 118:17.
Both the song and sermon offered a prophetic invocation to the tense proceedings that ensued, as members debated and then accepted a proposal by the Conference Cabinet and Treasurer to reduce the conference's districts from six to four, as of July 1, 2017.
They then approved a 2017 Connectional Ministries budget, based on that mid-year redistricting, that calls for $3.2 million in church giving and over $3.1 million in conference expenses. The $92,000 balance will be used to help meet growing financial obligations, including the Pre-1982 Clergy Pension Liability.
The Rev. Rodney Shearer no doubt spoke for many when he voiced lament for the loss of two districts and district superintendents. But after months of painstaking deliberations, following April town hall meetings in each district, it was too late to change directions or further delay the inevitable. The decreases in churches and total church giving and the stubborn increases in conference liabilities had become all too clear.
The enlarged districts will be renamed as the North, South, East and West districts, with more churches per district but also more staff support and compensation for the superintendents who must oversee them. Also, the leadership of mission connections will become more crucial to connecting churches across larger districts and advancing their collaborative efforts in ministry.
The conference Cabinet presented the resolution with a comprehensive financial and missional rationale offered by the Rev. Anita Powell, Cabinet Dean; Irene Dickinson, the new Chairperson of the Council on Finance and Administration (CFA); and Jim Cruickshank, Conference Treasurer. The Board of Trustees was also a co-sponsor.
While there was ample debate, including questions, pro and con speeches, and attempts to offer amendments, the resolution passed as presented by a large majority.
Also, an offering was received to provide scholarships for the conference's mandatory Changing Racism Workshops, offered twice-yearly. And the conference officially welcomed back Bishop Peggy Johnson and her husband, the Rev. Michael Johnson, for another four years. She becomes the first Philadelphia Area bishop to be assigned to a third term since Bishop Fred Corson in the early 1960s.

And yet, cats are a strangely relaxing presence during yoga class.
"Yoga is all about being in the moment," and cats are in the moment "all the time," said Amy Apgar, one of two yoga instructors at Meow Parlour, a cat shelter and cafe in Lower Manhattan that, like a growing number of places across the country, offers yoga classes with cats.
The yoga sessions are partly just for fun, but they also bring in new people who may want to adopt a pet. (The cats on hand tend to be highly available.)
Other animal-inspired yoga classes include doga with dogs, yoga with goats and yoga with rabbits. But yoga with cats has gained a small but cultish following.
At least 40 cats will wander through the yoga class, Ms. Riley said, while others will sit on perches and observe. "Sometimes one will choose a particular person and will stay with them throughout the whole class," she said. "And some are social butterflies who meet with all the different students."
During the savasana, or final resting pose of a yoga class, "usually at least half the people will have a cat asleep on their chest — it's just the sweetest thing," Ms. Riley said.
For Megan O'Boyle, a 30-year-old social worker who moved from her native Wisconsin to New York for graduate school, cat yoga is just one way to spend time with animals, something she misses from home. Living in the city with a roommate, "I need animal time," she said. "I go to the dog park sometimes." Ms. O'Boyle said she grew up with cats and occasionally practices yoga. After a recent class at Meow Parlour, she said, "It was easy to do, and it was fun to have the cats all around."
Her roommate, Anna Ginzburg, who is 28 and works in finance, took the class, too. Although the dozen or so cats weren't particularly cuddly on the night she went (with cat yoga, you take your chances), one of them, a 20-pounder named Freddie Mercury, did make his presence known by repeatedly drowning out the teacher with his meows. The instructor occasionally had to stifle a giggle.
"It's a big stress reliever," Ms. Ginzburg said. "I want to keep coming back."
Yoga participants are warned against bringing their own mats, which are likely to see some claw-induced damage.
"None of the classes are ever the same," said Emilie Legrand, a co-owner of Meow Parlour and an affiliated bakery, Macaron Parlour, both on the Lower East Side. "It depends on the group of cats and the time of day." Afternoon classes tend to be more laid back, she said, because the cats are sleepy and just observe, while at the evening classes, when the cats are anticipating supper, they tend to be more frolicsome.
At KitTea Cat Café in San Francisco, the Cats on Mats class happens every Wednesday night and costs $30 a person. There are typically at least a dozen cats, but room for only eight yogis.
"Our yoga instructors always incorporate the silliness and unpredictability of the cats themselves," said Courtney Hatt, 31, who ditched a job in high-tech to start up KitTea, which serves teas, Belgian waffles, wraps and other fare.
"Like, sometimes a cat will be using the litter box."
Similar cat cafes have sprouted across the country in the last two years or so, typically separating the animal playspace from the food area, for health reasons.
The emphasis tends to be less on the food than on fostering good times for people in need of a cat fix. Cat participation in the yoga classes varies widely.
"We've actually had kitties who have stretched with people," said Ms. Hatt. "Probably unintentionally. But they do an excellent downward dog."
Ms. Legrand, of Meow Parlour, said that the rotating cast of cats refreshes the experience. "It's fun when we have a few new cats, and you can tell it's their first yoga class, because they are very curious," she said. "The yoga mats are like cat magnets."
Ingrid King, a cat blogger, practices reiki, a healing therapy that involves the transfer of energy from person to person or, in Ms. King's case, person to cat. And while she herself is more of a Pilates person, she called yoga a good fit for everything feline.
"Cats' energy is such a wonderful and relaxing thing to be around," Ms. King said. "I think it's a perfect match to yoga."

To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day To the last syllable of recorded time, And all our yesterdays have lighted fools The way to dusty death. Out, out, brief candle! Life's but a walking shadow,... a poor player That struts and frets his hour upon the stage And then is heard no more: it is a tale Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.

Nightmare Removed
I have removed this post since my nightmares are offensive to some. Have a nice day!
Monday, September 14, 2009
12:53 a.m.
I knew it was coming. Why it happened last night at 12:53, I have no idea. Maybe because everyone was asleep and I didn't want them to have to see it. Or, maybe it's because on Sunday afternoon we found the Notice of Trustee's Sale on our door. October 21 is our offical auction date.
I finally had my little breakdown over losing our house. It's been simmering and finally came to a full boil. I have to admit, I feel a lot better (thank you for the encouragement, Ms. McQuay).
Now maybe I'll be able to swallow food and water without choking. I've lost 4 pounds. Stress is a fantastic diet.
Let the packing begin! Onward and upward and all that crap.

Oh, Farts!
That's what my mom says when she does something stupid. I'm borrowing it from her today, since the phrase came to mind when I realized just this very minute that I have photog club tomorrow at my house and I haven't started cleaning and the carpets need shampooing. I guess I'll be dragging the steam cleaner around today. Oh joyfulness. It's just what I was hoping to do on a fine Friday morning.
So, it's 9/11. Last year I posted my memories from that awful day--the "where were you thing," so this year I'm not going to do that. I just want to take a moment to remember the sense of pride in our country and the feeling of unity that evolved after that day in 2001. I remember caring about every single person, individually, in our nation. I remember hurting for the families who had lost loved ones in the attacks. I remember feeling intense admiration for the people on board flight 93 who attacked the terrorists on board. Those passengers are my heros.
Last night at Costco, a young man was walking around proudly in his Air Force ROTC uniform. I high-5'ed him. It did my heart good to see a young person show pride in our military. I'm very grateful for all those serving today.

President Obama's Speech to School Children (and other things)
Oooooh, what a hot topic! Since last week, I've heard some parents weren't going to let their kids go to school today because they didin't want them to hear President Obama's speech. I've heard that he was going to use his speech to promote socialism, get kids to take the census, and other things.
I told my kids to go, listen closely, and report back. I wanted to know what he had to say to the children of this country in these turbulent times.
Then I heard the speech would be posted online. I read the speech (you can read it here) this morning. Here are my thoughts.
First, I thought the speech was well written and completely appropriate. He said things that I have said to my own kids myself: hard work is just that--hard! but it's worth it. Education is vital. Don't let failure hold you back. Keep trying! I'm grateful for that message from the leader of our country. What's sad is that it needs to be said at all. Our country is in desperate shape. I see many kids around me who do feel discouraged by the economy and lack of jobs, who sit in front of video games all day long and never pick up a book. I worry about them and their futures.
What I find interesting is the reaction people have had to Mr. Obama's speech (before even reading it). I'm not a fan of President Obama. I didn't vote for him, didn't agree with his national security ideas, or many of his other policies. What does this reaction to his speech from a large part of the public say? That there's a general mistrust of our President? Seemingly so.
I stood outside and listened as my elderly neighbor, with tears in her eyes, expressed her fear of socilized medicine. Her husband, a cancer survivor, isn't doing so well at the moment and she fears losing their private insurance, then being cast aside by socialist health care and left to die. There is a lot of fear in this country right now. I don't like it.

The Next Edward Cullen?
I shot Chaz's senior pics yesterday (if you want to see more, go to http://millermillerphotography.blogspot.com/ ). I love making pics of people because I see them differently through the lens and also during the editing process. In Chaz, I saw Edward Cullen (not to downplay Robert Pattinson; I think he's a great Edward). Don't you think?
And just for fun, here's a little video clip of some of his other pics. (low res versin for storage purposes).

My Sister
I don't have a biological sister. I should have, but she died during delivery in an ambulance on the way to the hospital in 1965. Her name would've been Jennifer. I have visited her grave, seen the child-sized headstone. I've wondered what she would've looked like and whether we'd have been close. All my life I've longed for her. I see other sisters...sharing secrets, hopes, fears, recipes, trials, fun, adventures. And I realize that I do have sisters. I have found them along the way. We have shared secrets, hopes, fears, recipes, trials, fun and adventures. And they hold me up now. We may not have been born of the same blood, but our bond is undeniable. To my sisters, old and new: I love you all. You make my heart complete.

The Daily Struggle to Swallow
I forgot to mention this, but in addition to my back/neck/head pain, I am also having the worst time swallowing. Even something as simple as water has me choking. It's like my swallowing mechanism is somehow broken. When I swallow (food or liquid), it either goes up toward my sinuses or down my windpipe. It's freaking me out.
So I looked up the symptoms and found either MS or anxiety. We already know it's anxiety, right? But don't worry, if this group of symptoms keeps up after the storm has passed, I will delay seeing a doctor as long as I can and finally give in. But I think all the symptoms will pass after we move and I get the nervous breakdown over with, don't you?
UPDATE: I just looked at my throat in the mirror (finally, right?) and can see this lump back there. It's about the size of a pea--no wonder I can't swallow properly! Anyone know what that might be?

A Storm's a Brewin'
Warning: If I had a pressure gauge, it would be almost to the red. This blog could be a very unpleasant place in very near future. There are dark things boiling up inside. I will try to give warning for those of you who don't want to be caught in the hurricane.
Tuesday, September 1, 2009
So I've been having some insane headaches the past couple months. It starts with constriction in my spine. Soon the pain travels up into my head where it sometimes burns like a Michael Jackson Pepsi commercial gone horribly wrong, and other times it alternates between intense but dull pain and throbbing travelling pain. It's often blinding and sometimes makes me nauseated.
I woke at 3:30 yesterday morning because I could no longer sleep through the pain. I could barely think, it hurt so intensely. My kind and dear husband drove me to Dr. Mike (a trip to Dr. Mike usually fixes me right up in one session). I left feeling better, but not completely put back together. The pain continued throughout the day, cycling from mild to moderate.
So as I lay in bed last night, I started having anxiety attacks. They centered around someone else living in my house. I just can't seem to let go. This is my house. This is our home. And the thought of someone else living in it hurts my heart. And apparently my head.

New Freezer Lyrics
[Verse 1 – Gudda Gudda]
I'ma cash out on the AP, new freezer
The coupe sit nice on some new feet, new sneakers
I took your b---h out to Pappadeaux
She tried to order a sloppy joe
I told her give me some sloppy toppy
Then let her know she a sloppy hoe
Tune pick me up in this brand new Bugatti
Two million cash this is not a Ferrari
260 the dash I smoke anybody
150K cash if it hit my pocket
This is that D6 shout out to Drizzy in the 6
Mafia like it's the 3-6
Choppers make n----s do B flips
Put the heat to your moon like an eclipse
Burn n----s like a freak b---h
Flip and turn you like a key switch
Cause you bit the hand that I feed with, yeah
Only time will tell n---a
I sat back and tried to tell n----s
If you try to test me watch you fail n---a
N---a D triple 6 I'm raising hell n---a
[Verse 2 – Lil Wayne]
Death wish, death wish, death wish
I come to fulfill your death wish
First I must refill my beverage
That's promethazine sold separate
That's from Texas
She's from who knows
I got new doors I ain't step in
I got new hoes I ain't hit yet, I ain't hit yet?
Time is precious
I got pre-rolls I ain't lit yet
I got pre-thoughts I ain't think yet
I got money I ain't see yet
They wan know why I ain't blink yet
I got big bags in my book bag
Make my walk around like Hunchback
Diamonds so bright on my one hand
Gave all 5 fingers a suntan
Haters upset that a fun fact
I got p---y in my lunch bag
I got soap and I got towels
Bullet showers lead to bloodbaths
I got hoodies that say Young Money
I got b-----s that steal them from me
They go home and then they send pictures to my phone with nothing under it
We don't mind that do I'm loving it
I run a bad a-s b-----s company
That's my company my b-----s humble me
I saw your b-----s that was comedy
I got the ramady oops I meant remedy
I got the chemistry and the amenities
Up in my bedroom holding assembly
They leave feeling good physically, mentally
Meditate, meditate think about yesterday
F--k what that n---a say think about yesterday
I can't do everyday I can do very late
Just hit me up and I go check my resume
Get out that Chevrolet jump in this (?)
I know you see the doors open like heaven gates
She think I'm heaven sent and I would not forgive every sin but
I forget everything thanks to the medicine
Thanks to the purple stuff
I'm finna pour it up, I'm finna stir it up
If I had a heart it'd be a purple one
Pockets too fat I'm pulling my girdle up
Shouts to Bumbu I'm finna serve 'em up
I got them comfy and kind and courteous
I put the old bodies in the new freezer
Brrrr – I never heard of her!
