We all share a weird relationship with our siblings. We hang out with them, complain to them and more often than not, have massive arguments with them. But not many of us have the courage to make love to our siblings. I know, this is totally uncalled for, but fans of Game of Thrones will understand what I'm trying to say. That show is littered with incest references, most importantly when it comes to Jaime and Cersei Lanister, who are twins, and ALSO lovers. That is just messed up, and they know it. We all know it.
This, however, isn't surprising, because there are many acting duos who kind of went down the same path. I say "kind of" because they played siblings in one movie/TV show, but were in love in another movie/TV show. Their roles may be poles apart, but it does make me wonder – How awkward must it get to make out with someone who played your sister/brother? Here are 8 such couples who went ahead and did it anyway:
1. SRK and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan
2. Jesse Eisenberg and Anne Hathaway
3. Ansel Elgort and Shailene Woodley
4. Hugh Grant and Emma Thompson
5. Bill Hader and Kristen Wiig
6. Paul Rudd and Zooey Deschanel
7. Steve Carrell and Toni Collette
8. Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Elizabeth Olsen
Jeez guys, get a room. Or wait, don't get a room. Okay, I need to wash my eyes now. We all need to wash our eyes now.

This year's New Zealand Agricultural Show in Christchurch has been deemed a big success - a big achievement given its new name and the cattle breeders who stayed away because of M bovis fears.
The show changed its name after many years as the Canterbury A&P Show.
Show President Tim Black told RadioLIVE's Rural Exchange it was a good move.
"The show has gone really well and changing the name was the best thing we've ever done," he said
He puts the big crowd numbers down to the fine weather.
"Ninety percent of it is the weather, [the rest] is everyone else involved," Mr Black said.
The show is getting bigger ever year, and space may soon be an issue.
"We would love more land for the show, so we can grow in years to come," he said.
Tim Black has a long association with the show, starting as an announcer there, then moving on to head the wool section.
The presidency term is restricted to one year, and Mr Black says next year he'll likely head back to announcing.
"I have so many memories from the show, I started coming here from a very young age," he said
Meanwhile planning is already underway for next year's show.
"We are planning now for 2019, and for the next 10 years," said Mr Black.
Listen to the the full interview with Tim Black above.

Praised across Scandinavia as a "literary masterpiece," "spellbinding," and "magnificent," Unquiet reflects on six taped conversations the author had with her father at the very end of his life.
He is a renowned Swedish filmmaker and has a plan for everything. She is his daughter, the youngest of nine children. Every summer, since she was a little girl, she visits him at his beloved stony house surrounded by woods, poppies, and the Baltic sea. Now that she's grown up and he's in his late eighties, he envisions a book about old age. He worries that he's losing his language, his memory, his mind. Growing old is hard work, he says. They will write it together. She will ask the questions. He will answer them. When she finally comes to the island, bringing her tape recorder with her, old age has caught up with him in ways neither could have foreseen.Unquiet follows the narrator as she unearths these taped conversations seven years later. Swept into memory, she reimagines the story of a father, a mother, and a girl—a child who can't wait to grow up and parents who would rather be children. A heartbreaking and darkly funny depiction of the intricacies of family, Unquietis an elegy of memory and loss, identity and art, growing up and growing old. Linn Ullmann nimbly blends memoir and fiction in her most inventive novel yet, weaving a luminous meditation on language, mourning, and the many narratives that make up a life.
Linn Ullmann is the author of six award-winning, critically acclaimed novels, and her work has been published in more than thirty languages. Her previous novel, The Cold Song, was a New York Times Notable Book. Unquiet has received multiple awards and spent more than a year on top of the of Scandinavian bestseller lists. In 2017, Ullmann was awarded the Dobloug Prize from the Swedish Academy for her body of work. She lives in Oslo with her husband and daughter.
John Freeman was the editor of Granta until 2013. His books include How to Read a Novelist, Tales of Two Cities, Tales of Two Americas, and Maps, his debut collection of poems. He is executive editor at the Literary Hub and teaches at the New School and New York University. His work has appeared in the New Yorker and the Paris Review and has been translated into twenty languages

A number-plate bearing the first car registration number issued in North Yorkshire has been sold for £243,000.
The AJ1 plate was first used in 1907 by the chief constable of the then North Riding Constabulary, Maj Sir Robert Bowyer.
It has continued to be used by the North Yorkshire force for a century.
The sale was approved by the county's police, fire and crime commissioner Julia Mulligan in agreement with the current chief constable.
"The historical link of the AJ1 registration is important to North Yorkshire," she said.
However, she added that the money would "be better spent", explaining that the cash from the sale would be invested in two separate projects.
The first will be to support work improving the Memorial Garden in the middle of North Yorkshire Police's headquarters at Alverton Court in Northallerton.
The second project will focus on community road safety, with a new AJ1 fund, Ms Mulligan added.
The plate was first registered on 6 December 1907 and placed on Sir Robert's single-cylinder Argyll car.
Wilsons Auctions, based in Belfast, said that the plate had attracted a lot of attention, partly because, unusually, it had not passed through a lot of owners.
The auction house said it was not able to disclose the name of the buyer.

That is output from Veracity Garden Harvester. What are the lines following that? I'm expecting to see:
[1234] Bone Garden
Encounter: skulldozer
Nope :-(
What's curious is that skulldozer appears twice in the log. I broke the Prism, ran VMF, filled my spleen and ran VMF again because I wanted to ascend and not save adventures for tomorrow.Code:autosell: 1 1952 Mickey Mantle card, 3 meat stack You gain 10,300 Meat Jumping into the Awesome Ball Pit in the clan rumpus room You acquire an effect: Having a Ball! (20) > Your Bone Garden has a Skulldozer in it. > Fight! Fight! Fight! Harvesting your garden > Collecting snacks
I seem to recall having a problem in the past when trying to fight the skulldozer with 0 adventures so it may be that the problem is real and the absence of the message is because VMF processed the garden when there were no adventures left and thus the fight did not actually occur. I'll continue this at the VMF thread.
I will also adjust VGH to not try to fight the skulldozer if you have zero turns available.
So, two changes:
- VGH should announce that it cannot fight a Skulldozer with zero turns available. I'll do this:
- VMF needs to harvest the garden early, when you have available turns.Code:print( "Your Bone Garden has a Skulldozer in it." ); if ( my_adventures() < 1 ) { print( "Fighting it takes a turn, but you have none left today." ); print( "You can fight it drunk. Perhaps you should have a drink?" ); return false; }
Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu
R'lyeh wgah-nagl fhtagn.
Saw the fight.
[1234] Bone Garden
Encounter: skulldozer
followed by the combat rounds.
Well, good. That's what I was hoping. I've been growing my Bone Garden, too, and will see this tomorrow before I ascend to try out the new challenge path.

Behold, I come quickly. My reward is with me, to repay to each man according to his work.
How many of you remember the children's game, "Candy Land"? The object of the game is to get from the entrance of the Candy Land 'kingdom' to King Candy's castle. There are a few possible detours and roadblocks along the way, but there is only one road that leads to King Candy and going from one end of the road to the other is the ONLY way to win the game. Not so with Bingo game. There are numerous ways to win a game of Bingo and none is more 'winning' than another.
I am in no way relegating or downgrading the gift of salvation through Jesus' death on the cross by comparing it to a child's game, but the comparison hits home the point that there is only one way to receive that precious gift. You cannot earn it. You cannot bargain for it. You cannot buy it. You cannot cut corners to receive it. The only way to receive salvation and eternal life in heaven is to accept Jesus as your Savior and Lord, and follow the path of faithful obedience given to us in God's Word, the Bible.
Do it: Spend time in Bible study and prayer every single day in order to know God more fully and become more spiritually mature.

As of December 2011, over 122 international locations required or allowed using ! FRS (with ninety two of those international locations requiring IFRS for all family indexed companies). sixteen monetary Accounting criteria Board and the Securities and trade fee within the usa, the monetary Accounting criteria Board (FASB) is the foremost standard-setting physique, even though it doesn't have ultimate authority over standards-instead, the Securities and alternate fee (SEC) does. (Note that the SEC is a countrywide physique while in Canada, the securities commissions are provincial. ) The SEC has proven its aid for the FASB through pointing out that monetary statements that agree to FASB criteria should be presumed to have great authoritative help. The SEC has additionally indicated in its experiences to the U. S. govt that it keeps to think that the personal zone (for instance the FASB) may still remain liable for constructing and bettering accounting criteria, even if the fee needs to oversee any alterations. just like the Canadian securities commissions, the SEC additionally exhibits its place on a number of monetary reporting concerns via what it calls monetary reporting releases. U. S. GAAP has and should proceed to have an important effect on GAAP in Canada. First, seeing that Canadian GAAP relies on ideas and in all fairness open to interpretation, accounting execs have usually depended on the extra prescriptive, particular assistance supplied in U. S. GAAP. moment, many Canadian businesses also are indexed on U. S. inventory markets and exchanges comparable to NASDAQ (National organization of Securities buyers automatic citation) and the NYSE (New York inventory Exchange). To be indexed on a U. S. alternate, those businesses needs to stick to U. S. GAAP17 or IFRS. 18 As we circulation towards overseas harmonization in accounting criteria, the U.

In 2008, FASB and the IASB reaffinned their cominitment to proceed to interact even though it isn't transparent that this dating will proceed. moreover, the SEC issued a rfile often called the "Roadmap"19 outlining matters concerning the convergence initiative. extra lately, the us has been interpreting simply how relocating to IFRS 1night paintings from a pragmatic viewpoint if in any respect.

Defining The Design Challenge
An assessment was given to us as a real world design challenge and we as a class were given 4 different jobs:
- Identity/Rebrand
- Business cards (for owner plus other staff members)/Stationary (letterheads, etc.)
- Mailbox Flyers (quartly)
- Motivational Posters
- Pull-down poster
- 12 day pass card
- Promotional clothing and packages (towels, hats, t-shirts, backpacks, nail files, etc.)
- Stickers for windows/car
- Sign for the shop front
Our client knew what she wanted promotional wise for her business but we weren't quite sure if she knew what she wanted branding wise. She never really gave is a defiant answer on what she would consider for a logo or if she wanted a new one at all. The client just left it up to us as designers to decide on what would would be best.
As a suggestion during the meeting we told our client that we would consider everything she asked and decide on where we will start and what is going to be appropriate for the business at that stage.
I believe we all behaved in a professional manner and dressed appropriately at all encounters and meetings. Personally we didn't have to be firm with our client as they were both relaxed and easygoing about the whole process and very open to all ideas brought to them. Again personally I wasn't intimidated by the client, there were occasions where I was nervous in anticipation to what their response would be. I don't believe Sharon or Charles were intimidated by us as they are professional business people who deal with employee's and other business people everyday.
We met with our client twice after the initial meeting and in contact during the whole process via mobile phone calls and email. We decided that the whole promotional package we were asked to do by the client was going to be too large for us to complete in such a short amount of time, so we told our client that too complete any other promotional work we would have to start simply with a logo design. For a first job I experienced the pressure of real cliental work and all the issues that are involved in working within a group.

BSBDES401A- Winter in Wagga
1. What kind of research should be done prior to deciding on the form your promotional piece will take? Where and how will you conduct this research?
Researching what form the promotional piece will take would include going out into the city and finding what has been done and if it affectively got the message accross amongst society. Research the city itself, find out where the hot spots are in town, if there are any attractions or local history and anything that may be an interest for people who are looking for somewhere to go during winter. Mostly this information can be found on the internet and websites that specialise different and exciting ways to set out large amounts of infomation. The Wagga Information Centre is a place to go and find out what has been produced around the local area and what was the most affective and efficient according to form and function.
2. Why did you decide on this particular medium?
I decided that through my information and research that a booklet would be the most effective way of producing mass amounts of information and would be the most productive. I decided on this medium because it would be a simple and clean way to produce the information and a way that would be easily read. A booklet gives people lots of options depending on their likes and dislikes and hobbies. It is only an A5 booklet because I decided that it would be an easy option and if people wanted to take it home or to show someone else it wouldn't take up much space and easily compacted.
3.What resources will you require for developing your piece?
To develop my piece I will need:
- Information about wagga
- Sources on where the best places are for accommodation
- Camera for photography
- Booklets, Posters, Flyers/promotional pieces on what there is to do in wagga
- Booklets for inspiration and ideas
4. Can you forsee any factors that may impact on your selection and use of resources?
- There could be a cost to sourcing booklets and promotional pieces, I don't really want there to be any expenses during the research stage.
- With the booklet design I may have too much information and the piece may become cluttered and illegible.
- When creating the booklet it may get out of hand when choosing what the most important pieces of information should go in it, as some of the choices may become bias, for example when choosing what I think the best pub is when i'm meant to be promotioning the best pub for attracting tourists.
- There may be too many pages of information when the design of the booklet is just as important, if not more.
- Factors with copywriting, making sure when I am creating my promotional piece that it doesn't look like anything I have drawn inspiration from.
5. What has been the feedback from colleagues about your design?
I have gotten a lot of feedback from my colleagues about my logo, when presenting my logo design my colleagues asked me what a snowflake has to do with Wagga, when I explained that it wasn't symbolising a snowflake or that in Wagga there is snow it was symbolising that in Wagga there is marvoulous hills and valleys filled with frost and ice and that's where I drew my inspiration from, they became more impressed by the concept and overall design of my logo.
The feedback over the design process was that what I feared woud be an issue was that i had too much information and not enough space which made the design too crowded and cluttered and drew away from the actual design layout of the booklet which was good. They said I need to cull through my information as some of it was irrelevant and something that the viewers could find out through visiting the supplied websites.
The feedback of my final piece was:
- My design it simple but clean
- It has a lot of information but its not too overwhelming
- A good use of negative space
6.What are the benefits of exposing your design to quality checks and ongoing analysis?
The benefits of exposing my promotional piece to checks and anaylsis by my peers and colleagues us that they offer insight and a point of view that is different and seeming the promotional piece is aimed for all ages it is beneifical to hear their point of view on how to improve the design to reach the target audience. Others might see something that I may have missed because when looking at a design for a while the little things tend to be skipped over. Ongoing analysis is benefical because it is reassurance that the design is on the right track and heading in a direction that is professional and asthetically pleasing.
7. How will your promotional piece assist in meeting the projects intended outcome?
I think my piece showcases what Wagga has to offer during the winter months quite effectively. It is directed at people of all ages and genders giving them options and showing that Wagga does have things to do during winter and that it's not just a small country town, but has fun and excting things to do. It think that my design definently encourages tourists to visit Wagga as my design is not in their faces with information but warm and calming but still showing that as a tourist you can have a good time in Wagga.
8. How could you encourage your client to allocate more in their budget for this project?
I think the main point of encouragement would be that if there was more money in the budget the design and overall look would be better and more professional, showcasing Wagga as a classy place to visit, the more tourists would be attracted and inturn they will be creating a profit for themselves. Things like professional gloss/matte stock to print on, special printing options such as foiling or a celloglaze and different binding options such as a glued bind instead of a saddle stitched bind. Creating the idea that the client will be making more of a profit if they committ more money to the project would definently be a way of encouraging a budjet increase. This can be achieved by showing the client stats and figures (this that they can see) and examples of others towns that have had bigger budgets and the profits they recieved from doing that.
9. In what way could you present your design concept to the client to entice them into going ahead with your project idea? How will you present your final piece to your client?
I would go ahead and create a fancy slideshow to show them what I have created and a sample of the work to entice them and to show them what is capable of being done to promote Wagga. During the slide show give out lots of interesting facts about Wagga to show them that I am committed to the job and am interested in creating a better tourist profit for the town. I would explain how my logo promotes the beautiful landscapes of Wagga during winter and how that alone would be an appeal aspect to someone who lives in the busy city. I'd give them a printed version in the stock and whatever other effects that I would like for the booklet for example silver foiled heading on each page with foiled logo on the front and back, a glossy hard cover with glossy content pages.
I would present the final promotional piece to the client in printed form, for them to see and feel so they know exactly what will be relised to the public before the quanity desired is printed.

ICPPP224B - Artist Promotional Booklet
What kind of questions do you think you would need to ask your client prior to commencing the design?
- What they would like in the booklet; works, what they written about them.
- What designs they have been looking at either on the internet or booklets they have collected for inspiration for their promotional booklet
- What size they want their booklet; whether it be portrait or landscape and the paper size A4 as a an example.
- Do they want any of their works to be the feature of the booklet, whether some of their works would have its own spread.
- Are they supplying copies of their works in either TIFF or EPS format or do I as the designer have to source my own images for the booklet.
- Are the images high resolution.
- Are they supplying the body copy type on themselves and the works or do I as the designer have to write the information about the client and works myself. If so do they know this will be more of a cost.
- How many briefs/reviews on the booklet they want and coming to a reasonable conclusion to suit us both.
- How soon they need the booklet to be published for the exhibition.
- Do they have a printed they use for running this booklet or will I have to source my own. If so what is their price range so I can work according to the budget.
2. What could you do to avoid wasting your time on a design that the client doesn't like?
To avoid wasting time, I would draw up sketches of what I have in mind for the design of the promotional booklet and show them to the client and from there the one they liked the most I would go ahead with. I would arrange review meetings every week or so to show the client to let them decide on what they like and what they don't and any changes they would like. These meetings would be limited as the client my never make a final decision, so under the design process I would draw up a contract and together decide on how many design reviews would be suitable and that way they know that by so many reviews they have to make their final decision.
3. What kind of research should you do prior to commencing the design and where will you obtain the content form?
Prior to commencing the design of the promotional booklet researching the artist and their style is an important part of the design process. It gives you as the designer a better feel and knowledge of what that artists style is and can design a promotional booklet for them according to that specific style. It is important to also know background knowledge of the client, as it helps you as a designer to communicate with the client better. Obtaining the content form would either comes straight from the artist themselves if they wanted to add a personal touch to the booklet or it would have to be obtained by the designer themselves. If that was the case writing the content form would be more difficult as there would have to be many more proofs and copies sent to the client in case information was inaccurate or irrelivatent.
4. Can you offer any suggestions to your client about ways to improve on the brief?
The brief was informative and well structured I didn't have any cases where I found the brief difficult to understand or any instances where information was misscommunicated.
5. Can you think of any limitations you might face during this project?
There was definently a limitation to the options when it came to printing and the styles and stock that could be used when dealing with online printers. For the sake of not wasting printers time with quotes that would only be used in this project, I was limited to just a quick quote from them online with basic information about stock and the overall design of the booklet. That proved to be difficult and changes had to be made to my overall look of the final product.
6. What are your options in setting the document up in Indesign?
I set my document up in indesign as:
- A3 spread (A4 pages)
- 3mm bleed
- 5mm slug
- Facing pages
- Margins: 12mm x12mm
7. How will you need to save the final print-ready version to send to the printer? What problems could arise during this stage of the process?
For CMYK Online Printers they prefer the document to not be in spreads but as a "1 Up" multiple page file and preferred as a PDF, with the front cover as page 1 and the back cover to be the final page. With the external bleed to be 5mm. Problems that may arise during this stage of the process is that I'm not very familiar with pagination and it may be printed in the wrong order with spreads not matching up. When sending to the printer, I have checked that all my photos are in TIFF format and CMYK but there still may be issues when it goes to press with colours and the way the document has been set up. The file could become corrupted during the sending online of the file, this could prove to be difficult if images or content has been changed or lost.
The Australian Trade Printers didn't have specific setups for the final press ready version, if this wasn't just a project I would ring the company to double check the set up they prefer, but in this case I have set it up in a packaged PDF format with all images checked in CMYK, with the standard 3mm bleed and in spreads without pagination as most modern printers/printing machines could do that automatically.

Yipes! What a week. It seemed to go forever and was full of frustration and a whole bunch of negativity. Holy!Goodness! some people are utterly full of suck. This change thing is going to be a whole lot harder than Panglossian me anticipated.
Next week will be equally as insane, but (after a whole lot of introspection) I have a renewed positive outlook!

By Pension and Benefits Editorial Staff
The Departments of Treasury, Health and Human Services, and Labor have released final rules that allow employers to integrate health reimbursement arrangements (HRA) and other account-based group health plans with individual health insurance coverage or Medicare (individual coverage HRA), if certain conditions are satisfied. The final rules also set forth conditions under which certain HRAs and other account-based group health plans will be recognized as limited excepted benefits. The rules generally apply for plan years starting on or after January 1, 2020.
Expansion of HRAs. HRAs are a type of account-based health plan that employers can use to reimburse employees for their medical care expenses. The final rules allow employers to expand the use of HRAs by:
- allowing integration of an HRA with individual health insurance coverage and thereby satisfying the ACA's annual dollar limit and preventive care cost sharing requirements;
- creating excepted benefit HRAs limited in amount and to the types of coverage for which premiums may be reimbursed;
- providing new premium tax credit eligibility rules for individuals who are offered an HRA integrated with individual health insurance coverage;
- clarifying that individual health insurance coverage, the premiums of which are reimbursed by an HRA or qualified small employer health reimbursement arrangement (QSEHRA), does not become part of an ERISA plan when certain conditions are met, and
- adding new special enrollment for the individual market for individuals who gain access to HRAs integrated with individual health insurance coverage or who are provided a QSEHRA.
The final regulations add conditions on individual coverage HRAs intended to prevent a negative impact on the individual market.
Individual coverage integration. Almost any employer can satisfy the ACA's reimbursement requirements by having employees buy their own individual coverage. Employers may integrate an HRA with individual health coverage only if:
- participants and dependents are actually enrolled in individual health insurance coverage (though not coverage that consists solely of excepted benefits) for each month they are covered by the HRA;
- coverage is offered to a class of employees to whom a traditional group health plan is not offered;
- coverage is offered on the same terms in amount and conditions to all employees within each class (though certain variations based on age are allowed);
- an opt out option is provided for individuals who prefer ACA exchange coverage, but would not be eligible for the premium tax credit if enrolled in an employer health plan such as an HRA, and
- substantiation and notice requirements are met.
Also, through a new hire rule, employers can offer new employees an individual coverage HRA, while grandfathering existing employees in a traditional group health plan.
Classes of employees. In the proposed regulations, there was no minimum employee class size. To guard against adverse selection, the final rules add a minimum class size requirement that will apply to certain classes of employees in certain instances. Classes of employees may include:
- full-time employees;
- part-time employees;
- seasonal employees;
- employees who are included in a unit of employees covered by a collective bargaining agreement in which the plan sponsor participates;
- employees who have not satisfied a waiting period for coverage;
- employees who have not attained age 25 prior to the beginning of the plan year;
- nonresident aliens with no U.S.-based income;
- employees whose primary site of employment is in the same rating area; and
- groups combining any of these classes of employee.
Employer contributions. Employers can contribute as little or as much as they want to an individual coverage HRA. However, an employer must offer the HRA on the same terms to all employees in a class of employees, except that employers can increase the amount available under an individual coverage HRA based on the employee's age or number of dependents.
Excepted benefit HRAs. If an employer wants to offer an HRA that is not integrated with non-HRA group coverage, Medicare, TRICARE, or individual health insurance coverage, they may do so as an excepted benefit. As excepted benefits, these HRAs would not be subject to the employer group plan rules, including the ACA market reforms. To meet the requirements for an excepted benefit HRA, the HRA:
- must not be an integral part of the plan;
- must provide benefits that are limited in amount ($1,800 per year, adjusted for inflation after 2020);
- cannot provide reimbursement for premiums for individual, group (other than COBRA), or Medicare coverage; and
- must be made available under the same terms to all similarly situated individuals.
Employer mandate. In FAQs issued in conjunction with the final rules, the DOL explains that an offer of an individual coverage HRA counts as an offer of coverage under the employer mandate. In general, whether an applicable large employer that offers an individual coverage HRA to its full-time employees (and their dependents) owes a payment under the employer mandate will depend on whether the HRA is affordable. This is determined under the premium tax credit rule being issued as part of the HRA rule and is based, in part, on the amount the employer makes available under the HRA. The IRS will provide more information on how the employer mandate applies to individual coverage HRAs soon.
Notice to employees. The FAQs also provide that individual coverage HRAs must provide a notice to eligible participants regarding the individual coverage HRA and its interaction with the premium tax credit. The HRA must also have reasonable procedures to substantiate that participating employees and their families are enrolled in individual health insurance or Medicare, while covered by the HRA. The DOL has provided a model notice and a model substantiation form that employers can use.
Also, employees must be permitted to opt out of an individual coverage HRA at least annually so they may claim the premium tax credit if they are otherwise eligible and if the HRA is considered unaffordable.
ERISA safe harbor. The final rules provide that individual health insurance coverage selected by the employee in the individual market and reimbursed by such a plan is not part of a group health plan, is not health insurance coverage offered in connection with a group health plan, and is not a part of any employee welfare benefit plan for purposes of ERISA, provided all the following conditions are satisfied:
- The purchase of any individual health insurance coverage is completely voluntary for employees,
- The employer, employee organization, or other plan sponsor does not select or endorse any particular issuer or insurance coverage,
- Reimbursement for non-group health insurance premiums is limited solely to individual health insurance coverage
- The employer, employee organization, or other plan sponsor receives no consideration in the form of cash or otherwise in connection with the employee's selection or renewal of any individual health insurance coverage, and
- Each plan participant is notified annually that the individual health insurance coverage is not subject to ERISA.
Estimated use. The departments estimate that once employers fully adjust to the new rules, roughly 800,000 employers will offer individual coverage HRAs to pay for insurance for more than 11 million employees and family members, providing these Americans with more options for selecting health insurance coverage that better meets their needs. The departments estimate that, once fully phased in, about 800,000 people who were uninsured will gain coverage.

The sign of a good wedding venue in Vaughan is the ability to offer you advice on the pairing of wine with the food being prepared for your event. The catering team at The Avenue Banquet Hall is able to provide you with wedding food catering options and wine selections to compliment. We are a single event wedding venue in Vaughan with an in-house sommelier.
Certain types of food do not go well with certain types of wines. Do you know why red wine does not pair well with fish? Red wines contain tannin and when combined with fish will leave a metallic taste in your mouth. Can you imagine what a dinner disaster this would create?
Wine should either compliment or contrast your food. Wine pairing with food requires the understanding of the chemical elements present in the wine and the components of the food. What are the ingredients in the food? How is the food cooked and what is the taste and texture of the finished food? A caterer must be a good cook and a sommelier at the same time to be able to combine food and wine. The objective is to make food and wine taste better when consumed together.
Consider the following simple guide to wine pairing for your personal needs:
1. Red wine for beef, cheese, cured meats, duck, lamb, pasta, pizza, risotto.
2. White wine for chicken, fish, shell fish and turkey.
3. Sweet wine for desserts

WASHINGTON (SBG) -- The NBA and ESPN are in negotiations to broadcast a H.O.R.S.E. competition which will involve current NBA and WNBA players as well as recent NBA alumni, according to ESPN's Adrian Wojnarowksi.
Players would compete in their home gyms while in isolation due to the spread of coronavirus around the world. Each participant would shoot a wacky, unique shot that they believe their opponent would not be able to score. The goal is for the loser to miss five shots against their opponent which would spell out the word "horse."
Most recently, the NBA held a H.O.R.S.E. competition in 2009 and 2010 but it has not been a staple event for the league since the 1970's. Circumstances have changed due to the stoppage of play which began on March 12 after Utah Jazz player Rudy Gobert tested positive for coronavirus.
Chris Paul of the Oklahoma City Thunder, Trae Young of the Atlanta Hawks and Zach LaVine of the Chicago Bulls are among the possible participants, ESPN reports. It is unknown when this competition will actually take place and whether it will air on television live or pre-recorded.
The NBA isn't the only league adjusting their events due to coronavirus concerns.
NBC Sports reports the NFL will hold their draft virtually with a combined broadcast on ESPN and the NFL Network that will be based out of ESPN's studios in Bristol, Connecticut.
Buffalo Wild Wings is also trying to fill the void of live sports by holding a H.O.R.S.E. tournament of its own featuring two viral social media users. The broadcast will air on the restaurant's Twitch channel, according to Mobile Marketer.

Can you get free gym memberships covered by Medicare?
There are over 14,000 gyms and fitness centers across the nation that want all Seniors 65 years or older to come in and enjoy unlimited free gym memberships. The benefit is thanks to an enlightened and totally free Medicare health and fitness program called Silver Sneakers. It is the self-declared champion in senior fitness.
There is no limit to the number of gyms a member may join. When you get healthier it benefits you and it benefits Medicare.
Many seniors don't even know they are eligible and have access to this Medicare benefit. If they've seen the term Silver Sneakers on their benefits list, they may not even know how valuable it really is.
Many Medicare health plans include the Silver Sneakers membership among their free preventive care benefits. The program helps to keep their members in good health. It is a truly amazing and beneficial program because it allows seniors to remain healthy and active. You will have many available clubs to go to for varied and multi-level fitness workouts.
Choose the environment most pleasing for your fitness routine
A menu of special fitness classes are designed just for Silver Sneakers members and delivered by certified instructors. For instance, weight training is included and helps keep the muscles and bones strong. Furthermore, you can do yoga, group fitness classes, cycling, aquatic exercises, racquet ball, pools, whirlpools, saunas and so much more.
Like fresh air? If so, you might prefer special outdoor Silver Sneakers group fitness classes presented around the community. If you're a little more shy you may like the video fitness classes.
Can anyone get a free gym membership with Silver Sneakers?
In order to be eligible for free gym memberships via Silver Sneakers you must be on a Medicare plan that offers Silver Sneakers as a benefit.
How can I find out if my Medicare plan offers Silver Sneakers?
You can call the plan you are currently a member of and as if they participate in the Silver Sneakers program. You can also go here to look up your Medicare health plan and see if it's on the list.
Many members consider Silver Sneakers one of the most valuable aspects of their health insurance program. It's a benefit that can be personalized because you have so many options for activities and amenities.
This life changing, health affirming and personally empowering feature is worth even changing health care providers for, just to have access.
Silver Sneakers provides more than a free gym membership.
There is a lively social scene that comes into play when joining the Silver Sneakers community. Silver Sneakers opens the door to a clean, spacious, state-of-the-art multi-million dollar health and fitness centers. The gyms are staffed with helpful professionals trained to design an optimized health and fitness program just for you. In other words, it's all based on the latest fitness research and technology and now 100% free to you.
One of the best part of the Silver Sneakers health benefit is having options to join more than one gym to see what works best for one's individual needs.
As an example, there is the 9:00 A.M. Silver Sneakers group workout at YouFit, or a low traffic time treadmill cardio slot followed by weight machines between 11:00 A.M. and 3:00 P.M. at LA Fitness.
Take advantage of the free gym program to be more social
You can take a sauna, swim and quick shower, after which a group date for racquetball could be attended or arranged for a couple of days in advance.
Let's say the racquet ball group meets every day at 10:00 A.M. Once you make new friends there, you may join them doing other activities outside of the gym. You can see how easy it is to socialize and, most importantly, enjoy adding fitness to your routine.
Senior yoga class is also on the schedule in the evenings very often. With so many options you can enjoy good health in the company of others anytime.

If you don't want to go to a local gym to work out, that's okay. You can take classes at local recreation centers, churches, senior centers, and more convenient locations within your community. The Silver Sneakers FLEX network is the resource for fitness classes. More than 70 types of classes are offered, and what's more is they're taught by certified instructors. Classes include boot camp, circuit training, strength and balance, tai chi, yoga, water aerobics, and Zumba. Use the FLEX locator tool here to find classes near you.
Can I get free gym memberships to more than one club?
Many seniors join at least 2 to 3 locations initially. After that they find what they like best and build a physical fitness program based on the offerings of the various clubs. Say, there are 3 or 4 different clubs or fitness chain locations in the immediate vicinity, that's okay. No one will stop Silver Sneakers members from joining each and every one of them and exploring all the programs.
There are no catches, the clubs are happy to provide free memberships. New gym locations are being added continually. If your favorite gym isn't on the roster you can ask them to join. New clubs are always encouraged to apply.
Personalized fitness is at your fingertips
Looking for a 24 hour gym with a pool? Yoga classes? Aquatics? Racquetball? A team to play with? Do you enjoy taking a sauna and swim after a workout? These benefits are all available in the clubs who want you to come and join.
You can design a personalized fitness program from the various offerings of several clubs. For example, based on their locations, class times, equipment, classes and amenities, including the club's social ambiance. You can do this, and more, thanks to the Silver Sneakers Medicare benefit.
What does Silver Sneakers cost?
Silver Sneakers is a free benefit offered through many Medicare plans.
Are Silver Sneakers classes free?
Yes, they are free.
How much money can I save with Silver Sneakers?
As to the financial savings, with the average full service health and fitness club membership starting around $40.00 to $60.00 per month, for high end facilities, each location signed up with can save at least $480.00 to $720.00 a year.
Add to that the fact that everyone can join not only as many locations of one chain as they want. They can also join as many different participating health clubs as they want. The yearly savings could be in the $1,000s.
Can my spouse use my free gym membership with Silver Sneakers?
The free gym membership/s you are given through the program entitle you to the same benefits as a regular, paid membership. In other words, if the gym you sign up with offers guest passes, then you can bring a guest. It really depends on the gym.
If the gym's membership offering includes free use for your spouse then yes, your spouse can use your Silver Sneakers membership too.
Conversely, if the gym you sign up for does not offer guest or family privileges then your spouse will need to either enroll in Silver Sneakers or purchase a separate gym pass.
Which health club is right for you?
Your choice of health clubs is very personal. You won't be short of options because most every major gym brand participates in the program. You can go to LA Fitness, Planet Fitness, YouFit and so many others. They all offer different amenities.
Often the best way to select locations is to stop by and do a quick tour. Don't pass on a good gym just because it's a little further away. A good club is worth driving for if it offers the amenities you are looking for.
Other considerations are times the gym is open and specific desirable amenities available.
With so many gyms to choose from, you can select one that is safe, clean, modern, and spacious. It will be easy to pick a gym that is welcoming and rich in amenities, with ample and safe parking.
Who can get a free gym membership via Silver Sneakers?
If you are 65 years and older and on a Medicare plan that has Silver Sneakers as a benefit, you can join. Silver Sneakers is a program which allows you to get free gym memberships in your area. Many of them offer 24 hour fitness which can help you stay fit, strong, and happy.
How to join Silver Sneakers?
The first place to go to get signed up for Silver Sneakers is to the Silver Sneakers Eligibility Page or by calling the Medicare Silver Sneakers toll-free phone number at 866-584-7389. The phone representative will walk you through everything.
The representative checks your eligibility for Silver Sneakers (whether or not your current health plan offers Silver Sneakers). The rep will approve you right over the phone if you are eligible. Your Silver Sneakers membership card will arrive in the mail soon after that.
Bring this card with you the first time you go to a gym to sign up. You will be using the regular gym pass issued to you by the gym after that. To clarify, you will not be using a special Silver Sneakers edition membership card each time you go. You will be using the same pass all other members pay to use.
How to get a Silver Sneakers Card?

After entering the name and other requested identifying information, the site will display if your health plan offers Silver Sneakers.

Once deemed eligible, go to the locations page of the website and see what clubs are listed for your area.

Help First Generation College Students through CARE Angel Project
For over 20 years, the CARE (Children at Risk in Education) Angel Project of the Fayette County Public School System has assisted hundreds of financially challenged students and their families by providing basic need items and services, enabling students to feel connected to school and focused on their academics instead of worrying about how the day-to-day needs of their families are going to be met.
CARE assists students throughout the school year, but a special focus is placed on the program during the holidays with the CARE Angel Project through which school counselors identify students who are in need and recommend their inclusion. To be included, students must qualify for free/reduced lunch and their parents or guardians have to be employed or actively seeking employment.
Angel requests are mostly for non-traditional, needs-based items such as toiletries, personal hygiene items, cleaning supplies, bedding, pots and pans, hearing aid batteries, eyeglasses, dental services, car tires, utility bill payments, and roof repairs. More traditional items such as clothing, coats, socks, under garments, bicycles, and toys for younger students are also requested.
This year another layer of giving has been added to the CARE Angel Project, assistance for first generation college students. These angels must meet the same inclusion requirements plus prove that they have been accepted to a college or university, and that they are on track to graduate at the end of this school year. As with regular angels, students are recommended by their school counselors. Items for these angels include necessities for college dorms and academic study such as desk lamps, dry erase boards, power strips, desk organizers, extra-large twin size sheets, collapsible pots and pans, shower caddies with hygiene items, copy paper, pens and pencils, notebook dividers, markers, and gift cards for any miscellaneous items or other special needs.
The community can help all angels included in the CARE Angel Project by adopting an angel or donating items. Both can be done at the LaFayette Educational Center, 205 LaFayette Avenue in Fayetteville, Building B, Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. through December 12. Items must be unwrapped or in gift bags. Donations will be distributed to students and their families the last week of school before the semester break.

Mollie Tibbetts death strikes concern in young women
September 20, 2018
On July 18th, 2018 University of Iowa student Mollie Tibbetts disappeared and was missing for an excruciating 33 days before the eventual discovery of her body on Tuesday, August 21st, 2018. Tibbetts went missing while dog sitting for her boyfriend who had left town just a day before. She decided to go for a run which would eventually be where Cristhian Rivera, her killer, abducted her. She was set to be the maid of honor in her boyfriend's brother's wedding and her boyfriend had joked of proposing to Tibbetts that day. Tibbetts is one of many young adults that have gone missing in the Midwest area raising concern to both parents and students alike. Throughout the 33 days of her disappearance social media exploded sharing thoughts, prayers, and exposure of Tibbetts disappearance. A Facebook group and a fund began to help find information on her disappearance and the fund began at $1,000 and eventually skyrocketed to $300,000. Mollie Tibbetts has brought together the area in concern and mourning sparking discussions and controversy.
Controversy over her killer's legal status has sparked discussion as well with President Trump's plan to build a wall and forcing out illegal immigrants. But being a killer should have no correlation with being an immagrant. Tibbetts family has asked that politics do not get involved with Mollie's disappearance, "I don't want Mollie's memory to get lost amongst politics" said her aunt. Rivera's bond was set on August 22nd at $5 million, cash only. His next bond was on August 31st. When he retells the story of Tibbetts murder he claims he remembers her taking her phone out stating that she was going to call the cops which angered Rivera, putting him into a "black out" state before he realized he had put her in the back of his car opening it to find her covered in blood.
On August 22nd a vigil was held in Mollie's honor at the University of Iowa where she went to school. Her family released a statement that day saying, "Our hearts are broken. On behalf of Mollie's entire family, we thank all of those from around the world who have sent their thoughts and prayers for our girl. We know that many of you will join us as we continue to carry Mollie in our hearts forever. At this time, our family asks that we be allowed the time to process our devastating loss and share our grief in private. Again, thank you for the outpouring of love and support that has been shared in Mollie's name. We remain forever grateful."
Mollie Tibbetts disappearance has continued to concern many young women as sex trafficking and harassments skyrocketed in the past few years. Keeping our keys between our fingers and on high alert when walking to our cars is something every girl knows. No longer are the days of being able to go anywhere alone. Seeing a face of a young woman on a missing poster seems normal these days. Today's toxic masculinity has shown that many men no longer able to take no as an answer and girls are forced to keep pepper spray on their keys and recommend self-defense classes to their friends. The constant fear that we might get picked up at the mall or even a grocery store lives inside every woman and should not be something we should have to feel. I want to be able to go get groceries or even just leave my house without feeling like I need to bring a friend, or the very least my taser. Mollie Tibbetts' disappearance should be a reminder to women that the world is not safe, not that we did not know that.

Knowing Ronaldo and how much she means to him he will probably hire a doctor or medical assistance to be by his mother at all times.They say she is conscious and stable, so she should recover. Very scary though, she'll be on constant alert forever
I think this would be true if anyone who was close to their mother if they could afford it.Knowing Ronaldo and how much she means to him he will probably hire a doctor or medical assistance to be by his mother at all times.
Sounds like good news.She had a stroke, but help arrived (or was called) on time, which is the most important thing with cardiovascular episodes.
According to media, she's in a stable condition and her mental capacities seem to be unaffected. Let's see if she's not too much physically limited, but she will always have an arm/leg with less strength after this.
I'm a stickler for things like that too and I support this message.
That was my first thought as well. We're bad people.
This is the most annoying thing to ever hit the world. When some people say 'siuu', and some even say 'suuuuuu'. They think they're saying 'Si' as he did at the award show.What's all the SIU references by the way?
Aren't the doctors and other medical workers alteady getting paid and also stretched to the max?Isnt it a lack of medical staff, equipment etc thats the problem and not a lack of space?
Covering costs of salaries makes it sound as if they are sitting this out due to not getting paid enough.
Wow - that's quite the conspiracy theory.How sad is it that he and his PR team always put out fake news to make him the center of attention during all these tragedies
It's true. There's been countless fake PR stories about Ronaldo being this amazing humanitarian every time there's a disaster.Wow - that's quite the conspiracy theory.
Oh wait, Barcelona fan. Never mind.
Happens to the best of us. And it did!Serves me right for getting sucked in by a few tweets then.
He has the creepiest fan base I've ever seen in sports period. Nothing wrong with being a fan or idolizing a player, but some of these guys take it too far by making up false stories about his generosity (he does plenty without having to make stuff up) and even his religion among other things. There's that fruitcake that keeps posting pictures of him kissing his little brother and pretending he's Ronaldo with his son. It's crazy.It's true. There's been countless fake PR stories about Ronaldo being this amazing humanitarian every time there's a disaster.
Rabid fanboys making stuff up to make their poster boy look like some kind of a messiah

DOLGEVILLE — The prekindergarten program for 3-year-old children in the Dolgeville Central School District is among the cuts in the 2019-20 budget adopted by the district's Board of Education this week.
The unanimously adopted budget includes $19,389,066 in spending. It also includes a tax rate increase of 11 percent, which surpasses the 2.67 percent cap set by the state. For it to go into effect, a supermajority — or 60 percent — of district voters will need to approve the budget when it's put to a vote May 21.
According to information provided by the district, at least 11 positions will be cut. This includes seven teaching assistant positions, two school counselors, an English teacher and an elementary school teacher. Staff members "least senior in the tenure area" will be among the cuts.
"(The school board) understands this reduction in employees will have an emotional effect on our students and staff," board President Robert Maxwell read from a prepared statement during a meeting Tuesday. "The educators that have been advised of layoffs encompasses a group that has been committed to providing positive, lasting relationships with the students as DCS. These cuts are not a reflection of their hard work and performance, but rather the current financial circumstances of our school."
The school district discovered a $1.1 million budget gap in November due to over budgeting revenue and under budgeting expenses. Proposed numbers for 2019-20 showed the gap had grown to approximately $2.6 million based on projected revenue and appropriations.
In the budget adopted Tuesday, state aid will account for $13,347,449, about $77,000 more than what was projected earlier this year.
Business Manager Jessica Radley said the school board also will use $479,292 of fund balance to help balance the budget.
Among the programs that will be affected by the cuts is the district's 3-year-old pre-kindergarten program. Maxwell said the district will continue supporting the 4-year-old pre-kindergarten program "as of now." He added Herkimer BOCES will have room for the 3-year-olds with special needs in its targeted pre-kindergarten program.
"When we initiated this program we had hoped funding would be forthcoming and it never happened," Maxwell read from the board's statement Tuesday. "This very worthwhile program costs the district the equivalent of about 9 to 10 percent in a local tax share annually. Without help from our state government or the willingness of our taxpayers to increase the taxes collected, accordingly, it is not sustainable at this time."
A public hearing on the budget is scheduled for May 14. Registered district voters will be able to cast a ballot on whether to approve the budget May 21.

Last night's Republican debate — unlike the one last week — touched briefly on pro-life issues and featured a heated exchange between a couple of the candidates and pro-life Texas Gov. Rick Perry over the issue of parental rights.
Because none of the questions from the Tea Party participants or CNN moderator Wolf Blitzer queried about pro-life issues, Michele Bachmann, the pro-life Minnesota congresswoman, was the first to bring up the issue of abortion, doing so on her own.
CNN does their level best to not make this poll sound as bad as it is by noting that aspects of the Democrats health care plan are popular, particularly the provisions that target health insurance companies. But it's hard to obscure the fact that only 25 percent of Americans want to see the current Democratic proposals passed:
Twenty-five percent of people questioned in the poll say Congress should pass legislation similar to the bills passed by both chambers, with 48 percent saying lawmakers should work on an entirely new bill and a quarter saying Congress should stop all work on health care reform....

Anger, depression, sadness, helplessness, and hopelessness are all exacerbated by using generalizations. These are statements such as, "I can't do anything right," "Everything in my life sucks," "Everybody is stupid," and "Nobody cares about me." Challenging the veracity of these statements delivers you from suffering from the negative emotions they trigger.
The italicized words are the generalization, applied to the entire scope of the statement. When you take a hard look at how you talk to yourself, a pattern of generalizations emerge. This negative self-talk promotes lower-level vibrational patterns that serve to upset, demoralize, and demotivate. Instead, take apart the statement and see how much of it is true and how much of it doesn't apply to reality.
For example, the statement, "I can't do anything right," is commonly used when you make a mistake or something doesn't turn out the way you had hoped. There may be some things you're not good at, but it's unlikely that there is nothing you're capable of doing right or well. In fact, making a list of specific things you do well goes a long way in challenging statements you make about yourself.
Even the smallest accomplishment counts on the list. For example, "I am great at organizing closets." This may seem minor if this type of task comes easy for you, but many folks have disorganized closets and would love to have this ability. Take it a step further and include a statement about how this skill benefits yourself or someone in your household.
How about feeling like life has nothing good to offer. That word, nothing, is the key to plunging into a depressive episode. Instead, look around you with an objective eye. What are you grateful for? Do you love your pet and take joy in the relationship you have with him/her?
Think about what you like doing and make a pledge to balance the things that bother you with doing more of the things you enjoy. At the same time, list the specific things that you don't like about your life and seek to change them. Make an actionable list of ways to shift the detriments.
If you feel like nobody cares about you, this could translate into feeling unlovable. Is that really, true, or could it be that some of your behaviors are off-putting or that you may be hanging out with people who don't appreciate you? Depending on the answer, get some feedback about how others experience you or evaluate the types of relationships you attract. Patterns will come forth that point to the issue that needs to be addressed.
If you feel like everyone in the world is stupid and the way people behave makes you angry, think about what in particular you're reacting to. Is it acts of judgment, hate, and prejudice? Is it the way you feel about the way people treat you in particular? Anger can be cathartic when the reason you're angry is identified.
Understand what about that topic or person is triggering the anger and rephrase the statement accordingly. For example, "It makes me angry when you put me down," in which case you can express that and set boundaries with that person or "Injustice upsets me," and then ask yourself what you want to do about that particular injustice, if anything, or recognize that certain things are out of your scope of control.
Overall, rather than using all-or-nothing phrases, be specific about what is bothering you and recognize when the opportunity to make significant changes presents itself. Make your own door to enter into a new life and new way of being. You are a creator and have the power to create your ideal life.

Faith is not...
An Empathetic High Priest
For in that He Himself has suffered, being tempted, He is able to aid those who are tempted.
Hebrews 2:18
Two similar English words are often confused: sympathize and empathize. Sympathize means to express sympathy based on agreement; empathize means to express understanding based on experience. You can sympathize with someone without having personal experience with their plight. But empathy is stronger—it means, "I understand because I've been there myself."
Recommended Reading: Hebrews 4:14-16
Jesus was capable of both, of course. But many find it surprising to learn that His capacity to express empathy (concern, care) for our situations in life is based on the fact that He, in His humanity, has a deep level of shared human experience. When we suffer and are tempted to yield to poor choices, we can remember that "He learned obedience by the things which He suffered" (Hebrews 5:8). And because He suffered as we suffer, "He is able to aid those who are tempted" (Hebrews 2:18).
Because He is our great High Priest who identifies with our human conditions, we can approach Him boldly in prayer with confidence of receiving grace and mercy to help (Hebrews 4:15-16).
If I could hear Christ praying for me in the next room, I would not fear a million enemies. Yet distance makes no difference. He is praying for me.
Robert Murray M'Cheyne
WOW! All that he is!
A Change of Certainties (Stan Winder)
God has a profound grand purpose in both the suffering of his Son and your suffering. Paul says that Jesus not only incapacitated death through the cross, but he illuminates, shows the way to life and immortality through both his resurrection and our sharing of the Good News (1:10). Where the certainty and nature of life after death was once shrouded in darkness, Christ's post-resurrection appearances proved the reality of a "forever life" beyond the grave. Gladly we struggle, even endure persecution and suffering, to light up our world with the assured truth that where there is death, there is the promise of life to come, where there is hopelessness, there is the hope of a grand new world where all will be right.
God had you in mind!!! (Stan Winder)
Before God formed the galaxies or fashioned one planet. Before he spoke creation into being, God was thinking of you. God chose to reach out to you! Yes, he knew we would engage in wrongdoing and fall prey to every imaginable form of destructive thinking, destructive habits, and destructive relationships. But right then, God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit designed a master plan to save and deliver the whole of creation from the coming devastation of sin.
