Here's a story of greed and hypocrisy. This is what happens when a country elects a banker as prime minister.
New Zealand is one of the highest taxed nations when it comes to income tax, and we also pay 15% GST on everything we buy. Even children have to pay tax after the government cut children's tax credits in 2012.
There's no privacy protection for us when it comes to the government or IRD.
Also, under the US FACTA law (Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act), any NZ citizen unlucky enough to be born in the US will be reported on by the NZ government to the IRS if they try to open a bank account, or file a company return.
So that's what happens to individuals.
But if foreign investors park their money here, no questions are asked and no tax is paid.
Our prime minister John Key got the law changed for this in 2011 when he wanted to turn NZ into a "financial hub" – like Ireland. When he was head of Merrill Lynch's derivatives and global foreign exchange business in London, he shifted a lot of the bank's business to Dublin.
The result was Ireland's financial crisis, where the clever use of tax-haven rules and a huge credit boom permitted real estate prices and construction to grow quickly before declining ever more rapidly.
Even though John Key was fully cognisant of Ireland's collapsed banking system and financial hub collapse, he was cock-a-hoop about doing the same thing to New Zealand.
Glib, smooth and dismissive, in December 2010 Key rubbished objections to his plans and directly specified a 0% tax rate, telling the Minister of Economic Development Gerry Brownlee to deliver him a paper that had zero rating of funds.
In February 2011 Gerry Brownlee (Minister for Economic Development) delivered what he wanted, and in May 2011 the international financial "advisors" started drooling.
The law change in September 2011 to 0% tax for foreign investors made NZ a tax haven.
When a 60 minutes report came out in 2012 about wealthy foreigners dodging tax, Peter Dunne (government
lapdog minister) and John Key described it as "legitimate tax avoidance." Under the law John Key said that tax evasion is illegal, but tax avoidance is not.
But this is what the IRD department says to the NZ tax payer about tax avoidance: What's wrong with tax avoidance
Nothing got done about this issue.
Now in 2016 the birds are coming home to roost. We have NZ trusts at the centre of Malta money scandal, and NZ is mentioned in the Panama paper leak 60,000 times.
What else are we going to find?
Prime Minister John Key's register of interests has revealed he has a short-term deposit in a company specialising in New Zealand foreign trusts. Source: Edwin Mitson, Business Desk, Yahoo! Finance.
He has refused to disclose his tax details.
When Key was asked if it was right that trustees did not have to tell the IRD who was behind the trust, what assets it had, its income, its beneficiaries, the residence of its settlor nor the nature of its assets, Key deflected reporters by saying they should "ask the IRD." Even though he was the one who demanded the tax shelter for foreign investors in 2011.
Iceland's prime minister resigned last week after being the first major casualty of the Panama Papers leaks which revealed how the super-rich manage their money.
Will there be calls for John Key to resign if we find his hand in the cookie jar? Unlikely. He previously promised to resign if it was proven that the GCSB carries out mass surveillance of New Zealanders. When the Snowden revelations did indeed show that in 2015, nothing happened.
2010 Key itching for quick action on financial hub
2011 Key changed the law to extend NZ as a tax haven
New Zealand now an attractive tax location for offshore managed funds
2016 Panama papers: NZ trusts at the centre of Malta money scandal, Mossack Fonseca papers show
Panama papers: Mossack Fonseca 'bragged about lax New Zealand tax rules'
Calls mount for tighter rules on foreign trusts as Key denies NZ a 'tax haven'
Quote: "Whilst the PM has been shaking hands with devious financial operators around the world and promoting our tax system, and doing little to ensure its integrity, we are now known as one of the world's 'quiet tax havens' as the leaked documents reveal."
He said Key and his colleagues were doing nothing for NZ's international reputation, with more than 12,000 trusts set up here that pay no tax on their overseas' earnings.

Hi Misty,ReplyDelete
About 10 or 15 years ago I heard the phrase "have an attitude of gratitude" and that has stuck with me. So I try to look for and be thankful for the good things that are there (even among the bad/annoying/frustrating things). But it's easy to forget to do this, so your blog is a good reminder!
"I've come to believe that all my past failure and frustration were actually laying the foundation for the understandings that have created the new level of living I now enjoy."ReplyDelete
Tony Robbins
"There are no failures - just experiences and your reactions to them."
Tom Krause
"Success builds character, failure reveals it."
Dave Checkett
"My imperfections and failures are as much a blessing from God as my successes and my talents and I lay them both at his feet."
Without failure you would never fully appreciate success...you should go for the bracelet and not fear constant failure...if nothing else, it would call your attention to finding another sweet moment.

Vanarama National League North club Stockport County`s defender Scott Duxbury has signed a contract extension which will keep the 22-year-old at Edgeley Park until May 2019.
Duxbury has been one of the Hatters` most consistent performers since returning to the club in 2016.
He has now clocked up 144 appearances during his two spells at the club, more than any other player in the squad.
Duxbury returned to Edgeley Park to be reunited with Jim Gannon after a remarkable nine months at Northwich Victoria, reaching the play-off final and storming through seven rounds of the FA Cup, to come within 5 minutes of causing an upset against League Two outfit Northampton Town.
Gannon told the club`s official website: "I've worked with Scott for several seasons now and he epitomises the type of player that we should be encouraging at the club – he's determined, dedicated and works very hard at his game. He has really bought into the extra training and that is starting to show in his performances.
"Given his age, ability, athleticism and attitude to giving full-time football a go, it was an easy decision to invest further in Scott. I've often spoken about the 'proven with potential' of our future players. With the number of games that Scott has played at this level the proven side is accepted, but the real area to work on is the potential to develop.
"Scott like many of our young players is approaching a great age in terms of learning and maturing. I feel he is only small steps away from achieving an understanding and application in different types of games that will see his consistency improve and effectiveness increase."
As a youngster, Duxbury spent time at Blackburn Rovers, Burnley and Preston North End, but left Deepdale at the age of 16 to study at Myerscough College, where he passed a Level Three BTEC Diploma in Football Studies before taking a coaching qualification.
He originally signed for County in 2013 on the recommendation of youth development director Alan Lord, having been a member of Myerscough's ECFA National title-winning squad.

When recent fires threatened homes and property in small townships and communities of southern Tasmania, those seeking help were advised by authorities to leave their homes for safety.
They were sent to the town of Huonville where an evacuation centre had been organised.
With thick smoke covering the entire Huon Valley, community members and those of the Glen Huon Ward (congregation) of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints sought ways to prevent loss of life and minimise property damage.
Elder Robert and Sister Roslyn Goddard, missionaries assigned to the Glen Huon Ward began by calling people to check on their welfare.
Seeking heavenly direction, the Goddard's prayed to know what more they could do to help the community.
"Before we even finished our prayer," recounts Elder Goddard, "local Salvation Army Minister Major Steve Miller called asking if we could help them at the Evacuation Centre."
They began immediately by helping cook and provide meals for more than 500 people at a time. They did this for 11 days straight until the fire had been contained and authorities closed the evacuation centre so people could return to their homes.
Sister Goddard said, "Our experience working alongside the Salvation Army members was incredibly humbling. They were so genuine in helping people in need without any personal judgement."
"We wore the Salvation Army Volunteer aprons and were told by them to wear our missionary badges so people could recognise who we represented."
She continues, "Their team leaders would give recognition to us as Church missionaries whenever accolades of thanks were given to them."
Due to the Glen Huon chapel being under threat of the fire, there were no services held for two weeks.
Major Miller invited the missionaries to a Salvation Army prayer meeting to be held on a Sunday afternoon.
"We all believe in the same God even though we may worship Him differently," said Major Miller.
Elder Goddard recounts, "We were invited to offer prayers on behalf of those that were fighting the fires, those that were affected by the fires, to ask God to send rain and make the weather favourable for fire crews to control the fires."
Members of the community were also praying with the same desires. Within 24 hours the weather changed, winds subsided and rain fell.
"This was the miracle people had been praying for," confirmed Elder Goddard. "The Lord hears the prayers of all His children no matter their faith or circumstances."

When Jenny Porter and Corey Maillette celebrate their wedding in November on an old farm near the White Mountains in Fryeburg, Maine, they'll also celebrate their first anniversary.
That's because Jenny and Corey were married Nov. 27 in a ceremony quickly planned by the Recreational Therapy staff at Mary Free Bed Rehabilitation Hospital so that her father, Wayne, could be there. Wayne was battling cancer when he had a stroke in September that led to difficulty with balance and coordination.
"His doctors referred him to Mary Free Bed to focus on rehabilitation," said Jenny, who grew up in Battle Creek. "From the start, we had discussed having a small wedding in Michigan before our Maine wedding if my dad's health declined."
Jenny connected with Brie Taylor, a recreational therapist at Mary Free Bed, who rallied her team to make the wedding happen.
"Brie went above and beyond coordinating the details of our wedding a mere week in advance," said Jenny, who lives in New York City, where she works as a research assistant at Queens College. "We're still in awe of all the amazing people who came together for us at a moment's notice."
Brie called it part of the Recreational Therapy team's job.
"We were so appreciative of being asked to help," Brie said. "This is what we do. We're a very creative team, and we're encouraged to think outside the box."
Rachael Stacy, who plays piano for her church, learned several songs for the ceremony. Jenny Baweja, who enjoys baking, used a Mary Free Bed kitchen to make a two-tiered wedding cake. Lisa Bloom, a Grand Valley State University student interning at Mary Free Bed, offered to get ordained so she could marry Jenny and Corey.
As Brie made arrangements, Wayne's health quickly declined and he needed to be transferred from Mary Free Bed to acute care at Mercy Health St. Mary's Hospital. She collaborated with his medical team, which provided two staff members to care for Wayne during the ceremony, held in the fifth floor conservatory of the adjacent Lacks Cancer Center.
"We wanted to make it happen for them," Brie said. "We were blessed to be able to be a part of it."
Jenny called it a "crazy, emotional day" attended by about 30 people, mostly her family and friends who live close by. She wore a simple white dress she found on a department store clearance rack, her great-grandmother's pocket watch and emerald earrings from her mother.
Rachael played "Kissing You" by Des'Ree as Jenny walked down the aisle with her father. Jenny and Corey wrote their own vows, and her brother read one of their favorite poems, Pablo Neruda's "Your Laughter."
"The ceremony exceeded our expectations and proved you don't need to spend a lot of money to have an unforgettable wedding," Jenny said.
The day's most special moment happened as Rachael began to play "My Girl," by the Temptations.
"When I was little, my dad would sing 'My Girl' to me," Jenny said. "He wasn't strong enough to dance, but I sang it with him and held his hands while Rachael played. It was by far one of the most meaningful moments of my life."
Jenny and Corey will renew their vows Nov. 5, the day they originally intended to get married in Maine, where Corey is from. He said the staff at Mary Free Bed showed them "true Midwestern hospitality."
"My dad passed away December 9, just 12 days after our wedding. Without the staff at Mary Free Bed, he wouldn't have been able to see us get married or escort me down the aisle," Jenny said. "We can't thank them enough for their endless generosity. Having my dad there meant everything to us."

Take another check out your set of reasons to stop. Do not forget to ask for support from friends and family too. Instead, only buy a load up at a time, and only carry two or three with you at the same time (try adding them within an Altoids tin). Eventually viewers when you wish a smoke, you will not have any immediately available. Which will gradually wean you down to fewer cigarettes.Exercise daily.

Busy voters make big changes during Wakefield Delib session
by Daymond Steer
Staff Writer

February 04, 2010
By Daymond Steer
Staff writer
WAKEFIELD About 130 residents had a busy Saturday night amending warrant articles during a three-and-a-half hour deliberative session at the Opera House.
Residents will vote on the warrant articles at the polls at Town Hall on March 9 from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Among the most interesting moment of the night occurred when voters discussed Concerned Residents of Wakefield's (CROW) petition warrant article (Article 16), which would have advised selectmen to spend no more than $75,000 on building inspection/zoning administration—the amount the budget committee allocated in the operating budget for that department. The $75,000 figure is a sharp reduction from the $112,000 selectmen originally proposed. Proponents said the cuts were necessary because construction has stalled due to the economy.
But contractor Jim Keating said he thinks the town's building department does a wonderful job and he doesn't want to see the service scaled back.
After Keating finished speaking, John Ciardi came up to the microphone to say he supported the town's decision to lay him off from his job as the Zoning and Shoreline Compliance Officer, a position he held for about three years.
"The amount of violations and complaints has been reduced dramatically," said Ciardi. "Over the last two to three months, I've found it difficult to find meaningful work. The cuts the committee made were realistic and warranted."
But resident Stan Lombara disagreed. He said Ciardi's job is important because lake homes produce 70 percent of the town's tax revenue. He said the taxes would sky rocket if the lakes went downhill.
Selectman's chair Mark Duffy said he didn't like advisory warrant articles because they tie the board's hands politically. For example, a building bubble could force selectmen to spend more than $75,000. If that happened people would still get upset even though the article was only advisory.
"You elected to put us here and we're not going to throw your tax dollars out the window," said Duffy.
Town Attorney Richard Sager proposed amending the warrant article to render it totally meaningless. Sager said the warrant article as written didn't serve any purpose anyway because it was strictly advisory. The only thing it would do is "stir up dirt," said Sager. The amendment Sager proposed trimmed the warrant article to these five words: "To see if the town."
"Why not just vote on the bottom line of the budget," said Sager. "I only see trouble if the town passes this article. I think it should be amended out of existence."
But residents Harold Theiling and Tom Dube objected to the proposed amendment because they wanted residents to have the chance to vote on it in March. Theiling added that he runs a business and knows what it's like to cut staff. Both men repeated their point about preserving the wording of other petition articles later in the night.
But in the end, most residents sided with Sager. By a secret ballot, residents voted 86 to 48 to support Sager's amendment.
CROW also proposed a similar warrant article that sought to advise selectmen not to spend more than $25,000 on the planning and zoning boards.
Ciardi returned to the microphone to say he had "deep concern" over Sager's amendment of the previous article and said he hoped this warrant article would be left alone. Ciardi said it was "unconscionable" that Sager would offer an amendment that would remove voters' right to offer an opinion.
"I would strongly recommend we don't do this twice in a row," said Ciardi.
But officials noted that the $25,000 was far less than the $43,000 the budget committee allocated for the planning and zoning.
A motion was made to edit that warrant article to the same five words as the previous article. The motion easily passed in a hand vote.
Hours later, residents finally got around to discussing the actual operating budget. Planning board chair Rod Cools made a successful motion to add back $24,000 into the budget —$14,000 would go to code enforcement (building department) and $10,000 would go to planning budget. An overwhelming majority passed the motion in a hand vote. After the changes, the proposed operating budget stood at $4,102,717, which is about $9,000 more than the default budget.
The $14,000 would restore the zoning secretary's hours back to 40 from 36, keep the building inspector's hours at 40, and pay for staff mileage. The other $10,000 would go towards obtaining contracted planning services for work such as writing the master plan.
Budget Committee member David Mankus, who was a strong proponent of the planning and building department cuts, said he'd be in favor of restoring zoning secretary Cheryl Labrie's hours. Mankus also said before the cut was made to the code enforcement budget, Wakefield had much more code enforcement manpower than the towns in the surrounding area north of Rochester.
Resident Dick Wessell questioned the need to increase the department's funding. He said a possible alternative to spending more on planning services would be to increase the size of the planning board from five members to seven. Wessell said the town of Ossipee doesn't have a planner and seems to manage with a seven-member board. The town of Ossipee has a larger population, more land area, and more construction activity.
Wessell's comments drew a strong reaction from Cools.
"In nine years on the board, I've had many residents tell me we don't want to be Ossipee," said Cools. "If the Ossipee Planning Board is doing such a great job you'd think they'd have something to be proud of."
Sharon Theiling also objected to putting the money back into the budget because taxes were already going "sky high" in her opinion. She said the town should consider making do with less services.
But budget committee chair Howie Knight said the tax rate would go down by about 17 cents per $1,000 of assessed value even if all the warrant articles pass in March (assuming revenues and home values don't change). The total amount that would be spent, $4.27 million, would still be about 4 percent less than last year's total spending.
After the deliberative session the selectmen and budget committee voted on whether or not they support the changed warrant articles. The budget committee voted 12-0 to support the operating budget and selectmen voted 2-1 to support it, with Ken Paul in the minority.
Residents also took a great deal of time to discuss the creation of three revolving funds — two were for police and one was for the public education government channel (PEG channel 3). The first (Article 17) was a revolving fund for money the police department earns from doing details (such as traffic control for utility crews working on the side of the road). Chief Ken Fifield said the money would be used to defray the cost of buying equipment, such as a new cruiser. Fifield said he expects the fund would have between $8,000 and $15,000 in it at the end of the year. The money comes from the entity needing the detail and not property taxes. The department makes a small profit after the officer and other expenses are paid. Another benefit is having the revolving fund would remove the need for some awkward accounting that's currently in place.
But some residents and budget committee members seemed skeptical of the need for this account, none more so than budget committee member Judy Nason, who expressed a distrust of capital reserve funds in general.
"I don't like this warrant article," said Nason. "I think the taxpayers have been more than fair with the police department, if there's something you need the taxpayers should have the opportunity to vote on it."
Her amendment failed, but it was by a close margin (70-49) and required a card count.
Fifield spoke about another warrant article (Article 20) asking the town for a capital reserve fund for drug forfeiture money. The fund is needed in the event that the town has a drug case prosecution and some money or property is seized. For example, if a local drug dealer's helicopter were to be put up for auction, the town could only receive the money if had a special account for it. By law, drug forfeiture money cannot be placed into the general fund or used to do tasks unrelated to law enforcement such as fixing potholes.
Similarly, the Cable Advisory Board sought the creation of an account for the collection of franchise fees, which are a small fees tacked onto cable subscribers' bills. Currently, the town does not collect franchise fees. Article 19 would only create a place to put the money if the town decides to charge cable users the fee, said budget committee member Relf Fogg who is also the cable coordinator. The amount of the franchise fee is in negotiations, Fogg said. The town could only use money generated from franchise fees to run the PEG Channel.
"We can't really have franchise fees collected by Time Warner and directed to the town without somewhere to put it," said Fogg who said the fees would probably be 2 percent of a cable subscriber's bill.
Budget Committee member Dean Giffin was concerned that article and the two for police would take the money out of the regular budget process.
But Sager said articles 18, 19, and 20, weren't funded by tax dollars and they can only be spent on specific purposes and aren't really under the budget committee's jurisdiction.
"This is the appropriate way for our cable system to raise money," said Sager. "It's also appropriate that just the cable subscribers pay the franchise fee that funds the cable channel. This is the best way to go to fund the cable channel."
State Rep. Dino Scala (R-Wakefield) explained a petition warrant article that if passed would tell the New Hampshire Legislature that the residents of New Hampshire want the ability to vote on an amendment to the state constitution that defines the word "marriage." The article would be advisory only.
Last year, the Legislature passed a law that allows same sex marriage. Scala said many of his constituents called him following passage of the gay marriage bill, asking why they weren't allowed to vote on this issue. Scala said he'd tell those constituents that New Hampshire's government structure would need to be changed through a constitutional amendment.
"I'm a firm believer that the surest form of democracy is giving the vote and the voice back to folks and not letting people at the state house make a decision of this magnitude," said Scala, who estimated a bill would cost $800 to $1,000 for the state to process.
Passing a constitutional amendment would require passage in the House of Representatives and Senate by majorities of at least three fifths in both houses. Then New Hampshire voters would need to pass the amendment by 66 percent.
Residents Barry Lockard and Becky Keating both argued that the state Legislature had already dealt with the issue of marriage. Lockard added this bill seems to be an attempt to restrict civil liberties by overturning the decision lawmakers made.
"There are no valid reasons marriage rights deny to a sexual minority," said Lockard, who offered an amendment to render Scala's warrant article useless.
Scala successfully called for a secret ballot and Lockard's amendment failed by a vote of 37 in favor to 85 against.
Other warrant articles:
Article 3: Are you in favor of the adoption of amendment No. 2 as proposed by the
Planning Board for the Town Zoning Ordinance as follows: Amendment adds Car Wash as a Permitted Use in specific zoning districts? (Majority vote required.)
Article 4: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 3 as proposed by the
Planning Board for the Town Zoning Ordinance as follows: Amendment removes
language in its entirety from existing Article 17 Route 16 Corridor and reserves Article 17 for future use? (Majority vote required.)
Article 5: Are you in favor of the adoption of Amendment No. 4 as proposed by the
Planning Board for the Town Zoning Ordinance as follows: Amendment modifies language to existing Article 24 Personal Wireless Service Facilities by changing the maximum height of a ground mounted facility and adding a requirement to the procedure? (Majority vote required.)
Article 6: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the $50,000 to be added to the Ambulance Capital Reserve Fund. (Majority vote required.)
Article 7: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $10,000 to be added to the Bridge Construction Capital Reserve Fund. (Majority vote required.)
Article 8: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $25,000 to be added to the Fire Truck Capital Reserve Fund. (Majority vote required.)
Article 9: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $30,000 to be added to the Police Cruiser Capital Reserve Fund. (Majority vote required.)
Article 10: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $10,000 to be added to the Technology Capital Reserve Fund previously established. (Majority vote required.)
Article 11: To see if the Town will vote to establish a Capital Reserve Fund pursuant to RSA 35:1 for the purpose of Emergency Management and to raise and appropriate the sum of $2,000 to be placed in said fund and further to appoint the Board of Selectmen as agents to expend. (Majority vote required.)
Article 12: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $0 for engineering and right-of way expenses for the sidewalk project to allow safe passage for school children on Burroughs Avenue, Gary Road, Forest Street, and Taylor Way. Originally, this article had $10,000 in it for part of the town's portion of matching grant from the state. However, the state's department of revenue said $10,000 was not enough. Selectmen said it would be too expensive to fund the entire amount of the match.
Article 13: To see if the Town will vote to change the purpose of the existing Fire Truck Capital Reserve Fund to the Purchase and Equip Fire Vehicles Capital Reserve Fund. (two thirds vote required.)
Article 14: To see if the Town will vote to raise and appropriate the sum of $35,945 to purchase and equip a fast response command vehicle for the Fire Department. (Majority Vote Required.)

This article is a non-lapsing article and will not expire until the project is completed or the end of the year 2012, whichever happens first. (Majority vote required.)
Article 21: To see if the Town will vote to establish a Town Forest at Tax Map 50, Parcel 2 on Pray Hill Road, under the provisions of RSA 31:110, and further to appoint the Conservation Commission as the managers of said forest under the provisions of RSA 31:112. (Majority vote required.)

Yes, that's pop star Christopher Cross, not hip-hop duo Kris Kross of "Jump" fame, who last appeared on this tally 11-and-a-half years ago with "Live and Die for Hip Hop." Cross is listed on this week's chart as the songwriter of "Sailing," his 1980 composition that spent one week in pole position on the Hot 100. The song has been covered by Avant, whose Capitol single re-enters at No. 76. Cross first appeared on the R&B list in 1999, when "Best Friend," credited to Puff Daddy featuring Mario Winans & Hezekiah Walker & the Love Fellowship Crusade Choir, debuted. That track, which ultimately peaked at No. 54 in February 2000, sampled Cross' "Sailing." SURGE FOR 'ELECTRIC': Paul McCartney was in New York last week, so it was a good opportunity for him to do some promotion for his new album with producer Youth, "Electric Arguments" (ATO), released under the moniker the Fireman. On Jan. 14, McCartney appeared live on Howard Stern's Sirius XM radio show, then sat down for a 30-minute interview with the author of Chart Beat, then raced off to appear on "The View." Most likely it was the first and third interviews that helped send the album back up The Billboard 200, from 166-91. This is the album's second-highest ranking in its eight-week chart life; the set debuted at No. 67 the week of Dec. 13, 2008. The rebound comes 45 years to the week after McCartney had his first No. 1 on a Billboard chart. On the Hot 100 dated Feb. 1, 1964, the Beatles' "I Want to Hold Your Hand" advanced 3-1 in its third week on the survey. One can't help but wonder if the 1964 McCartney ever imagined that the 2009 McCartney would still be doing his job, recording albums, doing interviews to promote them and charging up the Billboard charts. SWIFT'S SEVEN: Taylor Swift continues to make chart news, as her "Fearless" album still occupies the penthouse of The Billboard 200. It's the seventh week of Swift's reign, giving her the longest run at No. 1 for a solo female artist since Alanis Morissette ruled for 12 weeks in 1995 with "Jagged Little Pill." Swift is likely to hang on to first place for an eighth week but, even if she slips next week, "Fearless" goes down in history as one of the longest-running No. 1 albums by a solo female artist. Eleven albums by solo women have held sway for seven weeks or more: 15 weeks: "Tapestry," Carole King (1971)14 weeks: "Whitney Houston," Whitney Houston (1986)13 weeks: "Judy at Carnegie Hall," Judy Garland (1961)12 weeks: "Jagged Little Pill," Alanis Morissette (1995)11 weeks: "Whitney," Whitney Houston (1987)11 weeks: "Mariah Carey," Mariah Carey (1991) 10 weeks: "The Singing Nun," The Singing Nun (1963) 10 weeks: "Forever Your Girl," Paula Abdul (1989)9 weeks: "Pearl," Janis Joplin (1971)8 weeks: "Music Box," Mariah Carey (1993)7 weeks: "Fearless," Taylor Swift (2008) If "Fearless" is still No. 1 next week, the album will tie Carey's "Music Box" for 10th place among solo female releases with the most weeks at No. 1. It should be noted that in 1992-93, "The Bodyguard" soundtrack spent 20 weeks at No. 1, but the billing for the multi-artist set was "Soundtrack," not Whitney Houston. COOK'S 15: Even though the eighth season has begun, the winner of the seventh season of "American Idol" is still No. 1 on the Adult Contemporary chart with his season finale song, "The Time of My Life" (19/RCA). David Cook's reign extends to a 15th week, making "Time" one of the longest-running chart-toppers by a solo male artist in AC history. Six songs by solo males have spent 15 weeks or more at the summit: 19 weeks: "You'll Be in My Heart," Phil Collins (1999)19 weeks: "Bad Day," Daniel Powter (2006)18 weeks: "Lonely No More," Rob Thomas (2005)16 weeks: "Waiting on the World to Change," John Mayer (2007)15 weeks: "Hero," Enrique Iglesias (2001)15 weeks: "The Time of My Life," David Cook (2008) REBA'S 56: Until this week, Reba McEntire and Dolly Parton were tied for having the most top 10 hits for a female artist in the 65-year history of Hot Country Songs. Parton scored her 55th top 10 single the week of Jan. 14, 2006, when "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley featuring Dolly Parton marched 11-8 (the song eventually reached the top spot). McEntire's earned her 55th top 10 hit the week of Aug. 4, 2007, when "Because of You," credited as "Reba McEntire duet with Kelly Clarkson," jumped 12-10, eventually reaching No. 2. The Reba/Dolly tie is broken this week, thanks to a 13-9 move for "Cowgirls Don't Cry" by Brooks and Dunn featuring Reba McEntire. The song is McEntire's 56th top 10 hit, and the 41st for Brooks & Dunn. That breaks another tie -- just counting since the charts were first compiled using Nielsen Broadcast Data Systems airplay information, Brooks & Dunn have more top 10 hits than any other duo or group. Until this week, Brooks & Dunn were tied with Alabama with 40 each. SUMMER'S PLACE: A 3-1 leap on Hot Dance Club Play for "Fame (The Game)" (Burgundy) gives Donna Summer her 13th No. 1 hit on this chart. "Fame" is the third consecutive chart-topper from Summer's "Crayons" album, following "I'm a Fire" in April 2008 and "Stamp Your Feet" in July 2008. This hat trick of No. 1 dance hits is Summer's longest streak of chart-topping titles since she had four consecutive No. 1s in 1977-78, ending with the pairing of "Hot Stuff" and "Bad Girls" from May to July 1979. JACKSON'S 25: Also scoring his third consecutive No. 1 and also having his longest streak of chart-toppers in years is Alan Jackson. His "Country Boy" (Arista) climbs 5-1 on Hot Country Songs, giving Jackson his 25th No. 1. Jackson's last two singles also headed the survey: "Small Town Southern Man" ruled in March 2008 and "Good Time" followed suit in August 2008. This is Jackson's longest streak of No. 1 songs since 1995-96, when "I Don't Even Know Your Name," "Tall, Tall Trees" and "I'll Try" all landed in first place. FACEBOOK TWITTER EMAIL ME

Diets high in polyunsaturated fatty acids may protect against duodenal ulcer, possibly through inhibiting the growth of Helicobacter pylori. This hypothesis was tested in vitro by incubating H pylori microaerophilically with a range of polyunsaturated fatty acids. omega-3 Linolenic acid significantly, but reversibly, inhibited growth at 1.8, 2.5, and 5 x 10(-4) M (p < 0.01), while concentrations of 10(-3) M killed virtually all organisms, with cell lysis observed by electron microscopy. Similar inhibitory effects were seen with other polyunsaturated fatty acids, at concentrations of 2.5 x 10(-4) M the relative inhibitory potencies were oleic (C18:1) < linoleic (C18:2) < arachidonic (C20:4) < omega-3 linolenic (C18:3) = omega-6 linolenic (C18:3) = eicosapentanoic (C20:5) acid. Cell fractionation studies with 14C labelled linolenic acid showed that the linolenic acid was associated with the membrane fraction. Commonly ingested dietary polyunsaturated fatty acids inhibit the growth of H pylori in vitro, an effect which deserves further in vivo study.

Garbage disposals often get a bad rap. Some people think we shouldn't use them at all.
There's no doubt that the in-sink grinders can be convenient, time-saving helpers, and many of us would find it tough to get along without them. But they can be sensitive. Many kinds of scraps can go into them just fine, but you need to be careful.
Here are some items that should never be ground up in a disposal.

BRANDON — Tile drainage may be the best solution to managing saturated soils, but the cost is prohibitive for many producers.
However, a low-cost mechanical mole boring temporary tunnels may serve the same purpose.
Imagine a torpedo-shaped four-inch diameter slug of iron being pulled through your field at a depth of two or three feet.
The depth and grade angle is GPS RTK controlled to make the mole passages carry water to the edge of your field. It's a simple drainage device that's been employed throughout the world for decades, according to mole manufacturer Hugh Hunt, who had his torpedo at Manitoba AgDays.
"The Europeans have had these for over a century. They call it a mole plow," says Hunt, explaining that it works similar to tile drainage, but at a fraction of the cost. He adds that it only works in heavy clay soils and the cylindrical sub-surface water channels are temporary.
"We've taken that European concept and re-engineered it to work with our 500 horsepower tractors. We've set it up with RTK so we get very precise grade control. We do a topographical map and a drainage prescription map for a field, exactly like you would for tile drainage."
The mole machine pulls a four-inch bullet, the depth of which is controlled by the hydraulic cylinders. Precise depth instructions to the hydraulic cylinders comes from the RTK system. It is also LIDAR compatible.
Hunt says the bullet follows along behind the single opener. The official engineering term for the bullet is expander because it expands the clay by forcing it outward to form the round tunnel.
"In Europe, the tunnels last eight to 10 years. We don't know for sure yet how long the tunnels will last in North America because it's a new idea here. We may have to go back in after five years to run it again, but you already have your RTK prescription map. That won't change. So the cost isn't great."
He says deeper tunnels last longer. The bullet can bore accurate water passages down to a depth of five feet. Some European farmers use their mole to make tunnels which hook up to larger permanent drain tiles at field edge.
The mole is being developed and will be manufactured by Dave's Machine in Oak Bluff, Man. Hunt farms at Hallock, Minnesota, and owns the Hunt Seed Company. The mole he had at AgDays was a prototype. He wants to do more testing before going into production with the final design. The initial target market will be the Red River Valley because it has tight clay soil and extreme excess water conditions There's no indication yet what the price will be.

Rep. Steineke Proud of Strong Economy, Fulfilling Promises
MADISON – Governor Walker delivered his State of the State address today in the Assembly Chambers, giving an overview of the accomplishments Wisconsin has experienced over the last year. Following the address, Assembly Majority Leader Jim Steineke (R-Kaukauna) released the following statement:
"Wisconsin's economy is growing, there is no doubt about it. In fact, it's historically strong. I'm proud to support the reforms we put in place, the unmatched education funding we approved, and the record low unemployment levels we achieved. Because of all this, we have a budget surplus – and who better to share that with than the hard-working families here in Wisconsin. Governor Walker's plan today for a per-child tax credit will certainly benefit people in the 5th Assembly District.
"We also hear, time and again, that health care is a top priority for people in the Fox Valley. Because of that, the Assembly passed protections for people with preexisting conditions. Governor Walker focused much of his time on keeping health care affordable for all – especially our needy and elderly.
"It's clear that our work in the legislature, and Governor Walker's leadership, are making a difference for the better for families and communities throughout the state.
As we begin the new year, Assembly Republicans are committed to continuing to support our schools, our taxpayers, and our economy."

WILMINGTON — Members of the Wilmington Savings Bank Clinton County Senior Center are invited to a free cookout lunch to be followed by an informative presentation on senior scams.
Wilmington Savings Bank will sponsor the cookout on Friday, July 15, at the center, 717 N. Nelson Ave. The cookout — featuring picnic fare like hamburgers, hot dogs and more — will start at noon.
A representative of the Ohio Attorney General's office will give the consumer awareness program at 1 p.m. According to the OAG web site, seniors are particularly vulnerable to fraud and scams, but many incidents likely go unreported. The program presenter will focus on the latest scams targeting the senior population and share how seniors can protect themselves and loved ones.
"We are pleased to offer this cookout and glad to schedule this program for seniors in the community," said Tom Burns, president of Wilmington Savings Bank, which made a major financial gift that helped build the center in 2001.
This cookout is not sponsored by, nor affiliated with, the Ohio Attorney General's Office, which does not endorse or recommend Wilmington Savings Bank or any products or services affiliated with the bank; services are being offered or provided by Wilmington Savings Bank.
Members planning to attend the cookout/presentation are asked to call 937-382-7170 to confirm their attendance so that the proper amount of food can be prepared.
An annual membership to the center is $20. Non-members can get more information about the center and inquire about membership by contacting Stella Cramer at 382-7170 or at firstname.lastname@example.com. Information can also be found on the web site: www.clintoncountycap.org

Especially for the 2013 model year, German carmaker Mercedes-Benz upgraded the SLS flagship Coupe and Roadster. Actually now, both SLS models feature a retuned naturally aspirated 6.2-liter V8 engine capable of generating 583 horsepower and 479 lb. ft. of torque. All this output is being transferred to the wheels through a revised 7-speed AMG Speedshift dual clutch transmission. We also have to mention the fact that the models also received a redeveloped AMG two-mode adaptive suspension. At a first view, the freshly revised models are differentiated by the new GT badges, the red brake calipers, unique wheel colors, high gloss finish on the front grille, darkened headlight / taillight buckets and also by the hood fins and exterior mirrors. For the interior, the Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG GT Coupe also got new red seatbelts, Alcantara upholstery and red stitching for contrast. One automotive enthusiast tried the new model on a racing circuit and shared his experience with us.
The first thing that popped into his attention was the sound of the engine, which according to him it is better than ever. The carmaker indicated the fact that the model is capable of accelerating from 0 to 60 mph in 3.7 seconds and it can also reach a top speed of 197 mph. The model features a very firm AMG Sport suspension and a near complete lack of body roll which can mean the rear end can break loose mid-corner if the power is applied abruptly. When it comes to balance, the driver says it was neutral and so was the weight distribution. These were easily controlled with the acceleration paddle. The man also said that the improved Mercedes SLS AMG GT Coupe and Roadster were almost identical in terms of dynamics and this is maybe because both vehicles weight the same, 3.573 pounds.

Current open roles
What we're doing
We are solving a huge problem. Businesses that sell on payment terms struggle to get their invoices paid on time. SMEs in the UK alone are owed £225bn in overdue invoices. Our Founder's experience as a qualified Accountant and Finance Director led him to conclude that there must be a better way to carry out the essential business process of credit control to tackle this problem. We are helping SMEs avoid business failure and have the money in their bank accounts to grow faster.
We are developing and delivering a market-leading SaaS solution; powered by big data-informed insights, automation and artificial intelligence. We are transforming a process that has seen minimal technological innovation to date. In doing so we are helping businesses make better decisions about who to grant credit to, take the best chasing actions to boost their cash flow and save time.
Our progress to date
We're really proud of the impact our product is making: an average 16 debtor day reduction equivalent to a cashflow boost of $22k for each $500k of payment terms turnover. Money that a business is then free to invest in growth; in creating new jobs.
We were delighted to be named as one of the Future 50 of Britain's most disruptive new businesses and also receive their Friend To Business award. We are incredibly proud to have been recognised as Xero's App Partner of the Year in 2016, from among their 700+ app ecosystem. We won the AccountingWEB Software Excellence Cloud App of the Year Award in 2017, 2018 and 2019 up against other finalists Stripe, iZettle and GoCardless.
We are fortunate to be backed by top venture capital and angel investors. We are growing rapidly, so now is a fantastic time to join, replete with brilliant opportunities for impact and personal growth.
About us
We are an open, dedicated and focused team. We've never built a company before. We know there are lots of things we don't know. And we're incredibly excited about working with great people to figure them out.
We believe in providing great people with the freedom and empowerment to flourish. We are humble and meritocratic. We care about the quality of ideas. Not where they came from. At the same time, we set the bar really high for ourselves. This is the only way we will be successful in our wildly ambitious mission.
We can only achieve our mission by working with truly spectacular people. From experience, these will be people who are motivated by the prospect of being instrumental in building something really important, and who are drawn by the unrivalled opportunity for personal learning and growth they will have at Chaser.
If this sounds like you, we'd love to hear from you!
We're always on the look out for great people at Chaser, so feel free to drop us an email at firstname.lastname@example.com

Drunk on hanbok: international collections inspired by it
Korean hanbok is an indisputable trend when it comes to design and innovate in the fashion industry of the peninsula. The trend consists in taking the different versions of the classic attire and create modern designs that can be worn day to day, and combine with western garments, like a pair of jeans.
Korean fashion veterans like LEESLE, have used the traditional hanbok to inspire modern collections that have made thousands to fall in love all over the world. Every design can easily compete with international contemporaries pieces, however, always maintaining a glimpse of the traditional costume.
How many countries can actually presume that their national costume is used on a daily basis? Just a few, I would say. And is the feeling of protecting and exalting the history of a nation what makes Korean designers want to play with the hanbok and create pieces that burst into the modern world and win over the interest of fashion lovers.
So much has been the effort to promote the modern hanbok all over the world, that at present you can already appreciate various collections that were inspired by this tradition, made by renown designers.
Carolina Herrera in 2017 created three custom hanboks, in what it was The Carolina Herrera x Hanbok Collection. Being faithful to the essence of her brand, and taking as inspiration the details of hanbok, Herrera created unique designs that were exhibited in New York and then sent to Seoul.
Christian Dior had admitted being influenced by this trend, inspiring some of his designs. Then there is Giorgio Armani and Miuccia Prada, who frequently make quick stops in Seoul to get inspiration in the fabrics, designs, and colors.
What can we expect in the future of modern hanbok?
The future of the modern hanbok will depend a great deal on the efforts made around investing in the industry, and designers wanting to continue taking the hanbok to international waters. Korea has earned a space in the entertainment and beauty world, with its K-dramas, K- beauty, and K-pop. Step by step, thanks to designers like Leesle Hwang, a path has been opened to the fashion world.
Traditional hanbok is an attire that by its designs, colors, and fabrics, allows creating hundreds of modern pieces that today's youth will love, earning the respect of the international fashion industry and preserving the Korean history and traditions.

Hydronic heating: Just Add a Tankless Water Heater
A new hydronic air handler is designed specifically to work with a tankless water heater for high-efficiency space heating.
Sign Up for News Updates
Tankless water heaters can do a lot, from offering endless domestic hot water on demand to eliminating the standby losses of a storage tank water heater. Bosch Thermotechnology aims to add space heating to that list as well with the Bosch Hydronic Air Handler. Designed specifically to connect with the manufacturer's Greentherm tankless water heater, the air handler uses the tankless water heater's highly efficient hot water as a heat source, transferring it through a hydronic heating coil. "The unit can replace furnaces with a ducted system, the company says, eliminating the need for a gas pipe, venting, and fresh air intake required for furnaces," reports Jenn Goodman at Builder. By using efficient tankless units for both water heating and space heating, builders can maximize the efficiency of both.

Also known as: GE reflux study, gastric emptying scan, gastric emptying test.
A gastric emptying study is a test that may be performed if a digestive problem such as vomiting or stomach pain is present. The test measures the amount of time it takes for food to leave the stomach and enter the small intestine.
What happens during the procedure?
The patient ingests a small, safe amount of radioactive material along with a standard meal or liquid. The patient then enters of room with a scanner that looks like a large camera, while the patient rests, the scanner takes images of the stomach and intestines repeatedly over the course of a few hours. The radioactive material makes it easier for the scanner to detect how food or liquid is exiting the stomach.
Is any special preparation needed?
The patient may need to avoid foods, drinks and certain medications for a period of time before the test.
What are the risk factors?
There is a slight risk of a reaction to the radioactive material given to the patient, but this risk is very minor.

|Editorial:Reading Textiles
|| Print |
Tiraz fragment Linen and silk tapestry in a linen tabby ground Egypt, Fatimid dynasty mid-12th century, Artifact 961.107.3 ROM Collectio (currently on display in the Patricia Harris Gallery of Textiles & Costume)
Reading Textiles:
Reading textiles is easy if you know how to do it, they tell stories so they say. Who are they? Academics, art and craft historians, textile scientist and researchers, reviewers, designers, practitioners, bloggers, you and me. We are all story tellers and we find our stories where we may. In this issue I thought I would have a quick look around at the different places you find textile writing and suggest a few different approaches.
There are numerous commercial magazines covering crafts internationally with occasional articles on textile and fibre work such as American Crafts, and in Canada we have the Studio Magazine from the Ontario Craft Council (by subscription with a limited news stand distribution) and the (Newfoundland) Craft Council Magazine on-line magazine
There are few publications dedicated exclusively to Textiles Arts such as FIBERARTS Magazine from Interweave press in the United States which also publishes fifteen or more "How To" magazines and Selvedge Magazine from Brittan which looks at textiles in relation to art and crafts, education, fashion, interior design and travel/ shopping. Then there are the publications with a focus on specific ways of working: quilting, weaving, dying and spinning, knitting and beading. Many of these operate in two ways: commercial publications such as Quilting Arts Magazine which has a mix of profiles of art quilters and "How To", or in house publications for quasi professional organizations such as Surface Design Journal from the American based Surface Design Association, Textile Forum from the European Textile Network or Shuttle Spindle and Dye from the Hand Weavers Guild of America.
All of the above magazines have the occasional profiles or reviews of Canadian artist and exhibitions for example, two issues of Selvedge this year have had reviews of exhibitions at the Textile Museum of Canada in Toronto: "The Blues" curated by Patricia Bentley, Issue 21, review written by Andrea Carson and "Between the Sea and the Desert" curated by Natalia Nekrassova Issue 22, review written by joe lewis.
There was a much needed addition to Canadian textiles and fibre Arts literature with the publication of "Craft Perception and Practice Volume 3, A Canadian Discourse" edited by Paula Gustafson, Nisse Gustafson and Amy Gogarty, in 2007 including nine textile art/ craft related essays and "Crafting New Traditions: Canadian Innovators and Influences" with two more essays this past February 2008, along with its launch and one day symposium at Toronto's Harbourfront Centre. Sandra Alfody's "Struggles for Recognition" takes a look at historical textile production in Canada starting with an anonymous Coast Salish weaver (source fibre mountain goat and domesticated "Wool Dogs") and moving to early 20th century practitioners Karen Bulow and Mary E. Black and Dorrie Millerson's article "A Flexible Practice: the work of (contemporary mid career artist) Kia Chan, Dorothy Coldwell and Susan Warner Keene and "the Past is a Foreign Country" by Sandra Flood add to an almost call to arms for more craft and Textile/ fibre arts publishing.
While the need to document and critic contemporary textile practices and bring forward a past that is always slipping into obscurity we must also look at and beyond the precedent of the established outlets for this type of writing and research. In this issue I am pointing out a few different sources, publications in print and on the web. In this issue we have reprinted with permission: "Beyond Cowboy Culture: Recent Textile Exhibitions in Alberta Museums" from the Textile Society of America Newsletter 20(p.14.), by Michelle Hardy, Decorative Arts Curator for The Nickle Arts Museum at the University of Calgary and Anthea Mallinson's review/ commentary on Kaija Rautiainen's show of jacquard tapestries at Circle Craft Gallery on Granville island in Vancouver. This review was first posted on the galleries own Blog and submitted to us by Anthea who teaches at Capilano College at the suggestion of Ruth Scheuing. Our Finishing School column this issue features an interview session Monica Bodirsky had with the four textile graduates from OCAD and I take a brief look at the Battle Ground Project at the Textile Museum of Canada and quickly point you in the direction of two extremely interesting blogs dealing with collecting, documenting and exhibiting Afghanistan War Rugs.
Katherine Morley, an industrial designer, singer/songwriter, disc jockey and writer takes a look at The Big Knit Landscape Section 4, an installation by Deborah Wang and William Elsworthy, that was on exhibit at the design store MADE, the same store responsible for the Radiant Dark exhibition in the Burroughs Building in the Queen and Bathurst neighbourhood which was the site off a major fire just days before the exhibition last February (but that is a different story!)
I believe that other than introducing you to the Canadian magazine "A Needle Pulling Thread" in which I have written my first Fibre Report column for their Summer issue, that this is my summer issue.

One client in particular stands out in Lindsay Hooton's memory.
In her role as a recreational therapist with Fraser Health, Hooton is focused on helping clients learn and practice a new skill, increase their self-confidence, their self-esteem and to provide opportunities for them to socialize and practice team work.
This particular young lady was in tears when she came off the water.
"She told me 'These are not sad tears; I have never once in my life not had anxiety and for the first time I could ever remember, I was calm,'" Hooton recalled of her conversation.
Seven years ago, Fraser Health, through Surrey Mental Health and Youth Services, partnered with Power For All Adventure Therapy Society, a Langley-based charitable organization which focuses on providing access to activities for all clients, including those with physical, cognitive or social disabilities.
Eight years ago, there were 16 clients and Power For All did a couple of Saturday sessions, explained Alex Thompson, the organization's executive director.
She is also an occupational therapist.
That first year, the group was helped by the Fort Langley Canoe Club, which allowed them space to store their equipment. By the third year, Power For All had moved across to Brae Island, with the help of Fort Camping.
Power For All now offers roughly 80 sessions, twice a week from July to mid-October.
They offer services for children, youth and adults, and are not exclusive to only those with mental health issues.
They also spend the fall and winter months going into group homes and doing adaptive Zumba.
Hooton said the program is perfect for people dealing with high anxiety, social anxiety and depression as this gets them out of the house and interacting with others.
Chad, a 29-year-old from Surrey who has Schizoaffective disorder, found a big difference in how he felt when he first got on the water.
Schizoaffective disorder is when a person experiences a combination of hallucinations or delusions, and mood disorder symptoms, such as depression.
"It is peaceful out there and it helps me focus on slowing things down a bit," he explained.
"It is physically healthy and mentally healthy. It goes hand in hand."
Relying heavily on donations, Power For All is hosting their annual fundraiser on Saturday, Nov. 5 at Rusty's Pub (17770 56 Ave.).
The event runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. and tickets cost $20, which includes a burger, fries and choice of drink.
The group is aiming to raise $5,000 and any donation of $20 or more will receive a tax receipt. They are also accepting donations for prizes and auction items.
