Updated By-Law No. 7 approved by Council:
Amendments to Examination Fees and Withdrawal Fees for 2019
At its meeting of May 15, 2018, the Council of the College of Massage Therapists of Ontario (CMTO) approved an update to By-Law No. 7: Fees that will increase Certification Examination fees in 2019 to $575.00 for the Multiple-Choice Question (MCQ) examination, and $805.00 for the Objectively Structured Clinical Evaluation (OSCE) examination. This is a 15 percent increase for each examination. The by-law also gives Council the option to increase Certification Examination fees in 2020 and 2021, if needed.
In addition, the examination withdrawal fees in Schedule A to By-Law No. 7 have been amended such that Examination Candidates who do not attend their scheduled examination without formally withdrawing within the timeframe specified in the Schedule will forfeit their examination fee.
Prior to making these changes, draft amendments were circulated proposing a 35 percent increase in the examination fee, and the forfeit of the full examination fee for those who withdraw from their examination after the withdrawal deadline. The College would like to thank those who took the time to respond to the survey and share their views.
Approximately 45 percent of respondents were in favour of the proposed examination fee increase, and approximately 62 percent of respondents were in favour of the proposed change to the examination withdrawal fees.
Of those who were opposed to the exam fee increase, most expressed concern about the ability of Massage Therapy students to pay the increased fee. Many respondents understood the need for a fee increase but suggested that it be phased in over time.
After careful consideration, Council approved a 15 percent increase to the examination fees in 2019, with optional additional increases in 2020 and 2021. Subsequent increases are not mandatory, and there is a maximum fee cap set for each year. This ensures that the total fee increase from 2019 to 2021 will not exceed the original 35 percent proposed.
With regard to the examination withdrawal fees, the College will create a policy to address those situations where candidates believe that there were circumstances beyond their control that caused them to fail to appear for the examination. In addition, the new Schedule A clearly articulates the withdrawal timelines to help Examination Candidates better understand how the withdrawal fees may apply to them.
CMTO believes that these changes are an important recognition of the fixed costs related to the development and delivery of valid, objective and reliable Certification Examinations. They also reflect the opportunity lost when a Candidate blocks a spot during an examination administration that could otherwise be used by another Candidate if it were released in a timely manner.
Three questions that came up several times in the survey comments are as follows:
Q: Didn't CMTO raise the examination fees just a couple of years ago?
A. CMTO's Examination Fees history is as follows:
|$ 400.00
|$ 925.00
The MCQ fee was not raised for ten years from 2003 to 2013, and the increase to the fee for the OSCE in 2019 is the first fee increase for that examination in 16 years.
The average total fee for MCQ and OSCE examinations for other regulated health professions in Ontario is more than $2,500. Even with the fee increase in 2019, CMTO's examination fees remain well below that average.
Q: Why does it cost so much to run the exams?
A. CMTO's Certification Examinations are what is referred to as 'high stakes' examinations. They are designed to differentiate between a practitioner who is competent and one who is not, and they are a requirement for registration with CMTO. In order for them to meet their purpose, they must be valid, objective, reliable and fair, and they must be psychometrically sound.
The Certification Examination fees cover not only the administration but also the development of the examinations. It takes a full year to develop the examination content for the following year. In general, there are six steps to examination content development:
- Content Outline Development
- Item (Question) Writing
- Item Review and Translation
- Test Development
- Standard Setting/Score Scaling/Scoring and Reporting
- Examination and Test Question Statistical Analysis, Review and Candidate Feedback
These six steps are described in detail on CMTO's website. In addition to creating new examination items and incorporating updates to CMTO's standards of practice, CMTO's examination item bank must be reviewed and updated in full whenever there is an update to the Inter-jurisdictional Practice Competencies and Performance Indicators for Massage Therapists at Entry-to-Practice, as happened in 2016.
Examinations of this quality are expensive to develop and administer. CMTO's Council has determined that, as much as possible, the cost of developing and administering the examinations should be borne by the Examination Candidates, not CMTO registrants.
Q: Where can I get more information about CMTO's finances?
A. CMTO publishes audited financial statements in the Annual Report each year. These reports are available on the CMTO website going back to 2001 and include information about the direct revenue and expenses related to the Certification Examinations. Indirect costs, such as CMTO staff costs for developing and running the examinations, are not included as an examination expense. Similarly, the OSCE examinations are held in CMTO's Toronto office (providing a significant cost saving for the administration of that exam) but the related overhead expenses do not appear as an examination expense in the audited statements.

Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel DVD review
Alvin and the Chipmunks is box office gold. Even if you yourself have not seen either film, you know 20 people who have. The first film brought in over $200 million dollars in the US when it came out in 2007, only to be surpassed by the Squeakquel with $220 million earlier this year. With a third film on the way in 2011, in the luxuriously priced 3D format, Fox absolutely has a winner on it's hands. Even better, with the quick turn around for the sequel from theaters to DVD and Blu-ray, we now have the movie in our hands. So how does the film hold up in the home edition?
The Chipmunks series, now a franchise, is a good piece of family entertainment which, unlike many Disney films, tends to skew much younger. The little critters are ramped up and excited after celebrating a 50th anniversary, refitted with modern tunes and hip clothes. The Squeakquel picks up shortly after the original film left off, with the trio of Alvin, Simon, and Theodore living a life as international pop stars. When their famed leader / owner / father figure Dave (played by Jason Lee) gets injured, the singing rodents turn to David's cousin Toby to hold the reigns.
As their life gets shaken up, the three boys are faced with the reality that they might not be the superstars they thought they were. How? They're told to go to school like regular kids! As if that wasn't bad enough, Ian (David Cross) is back to terrorize the Chipmunks, and this time, he's armed with a powerful weapon: Brittany, Brittany, and Eleanor as the Chipettes! While you'd think they'd all get along without issue (I mean, they are the only animals in an all-human high school) the pair of singing groups ends up in a musical war in the school's "Battle of the Bands" contest.
With the recent success of High School Musical, Glee, and a number of other audio-related projects, it's no wonder Alvin and the Chipmunks has hit it's stride with audiences. This film takes that baton and continues to run with it, bringing in a younger generation of kids to the field — perhaps a little too young for parents or even older fans, but as long as the kiddies are digging it, no one seems to mind.
However, that might not be such a good thing, as multi-layered films that appeal to various audiences have a much longer lasting appeal to them. Compared with the first film, the Squeakquel is a bit flat. The original had a wider appeal that, while not perfect, was able to adopt for various demographics — to make sure that kids, teens, and parents could enjoy it on at least some level. Despite some great efforts from the voice performances (which includes Justin Long, Amy Poehler, and Anna Faris, amongst others) the Squeakquel feels a bit forced, overall. But if the goal is simply to munch on some popcorn and spend the family time together, the film gets the job done – and, really, isn't that what you were expecting anyway?
The discs also come jam-packed with a number of extras, including:
* 'Munk Music Machine
* Music Mania
* Sneak Peek (including Avatar!)
* Munking History – 50 Years of Mischief, Mayhem and Music
* Meet the Chipettes
* Rockin' Rising Stars
* Music Mania
* A-Nut-Omy of a Scene
* Meet the Stuffies!
* Shake Your Groove Thing!
* Music Videos
* The Chipettes – Behind the Squeaking: a pretend behind-the-scenes look at how difficult the chipmunks are to deal with

Eric, an energetic 25-year-old university administrator who is partnered, is playing tennis doubles at the OutGames with Rodney Ferrell. But he's also played table tennis, squash, badminton and racket ball, explaining that at age five his parents hired a "sports tutor" so he could try out "every sport on earth. Anything with me holding a racket or paddle stuck and I was best on a big court." And this "huge dreams" guy is also involved in improv and standup comedy.
Growing up in New Rochelle, New York, Eric also lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania and Houston, Texas before moving to West Hollywood (WeHo), an area that really suits his self-described personality as a "true hell-or-high water Sagittarian," unlike the rest of his family. He revealed that he "was a worrywart as a kid and really cared what others thought of me. It was totally freeing and healthy to finally let go of the unnecessary burden of trying to fit into the boxes other people want me to fit into and live for myself." And the former elementary school teacher and honey bee researcher has done that with élan, saying he feels like he's already lived multiple lives in one lifetime, something that only makes him want to do "more interesting stuff!"
Coming out as gay in his college fraternity, Eric forged close ties with the LGBTQ community while participating in the AIDS/LifeCycle. He said that moving to WeHo kicked him into high gear to get as fit as possible so he can achieve sports goals he once thought were impossible for him to achieve. He says that "no goal in tennis is off limits to me. I want to play with the best players I can, learn from failures and allow myself to enjoy successes. Also, professional tennis has the absence of a fabulous gay commentator so if ESPN or the Tennis Channel is hiring, I'm totally game."
As you can see from these three men's stories, there isn't a one-size-fits-all athlete. But it is their common belief in inclusion and diversity in sports that unites them, drawing them to participant in an event like the World OutGames. In the words of Eric, "I think any inclusion of the LGBTQ community is positive, especially in such a hetero-normative atmosphere as athletics. There's an innate human quality when competing in sports that allows for people to lower their guards and see each other for who they are – people. Like RuPaul says, 'We're born naked and the rest is drag.'"
Please join us at Compete Magazine as we wish all the participants at the World OutGames a magical, transformative experience that's also lots of fun, because to also quote RuPaul, "Life is an illusion; don't take it too seriously." After all, who can question RuPaul's advice on life!

So I'm driving along and see a kid walking down the street staring at his phone and think nothing of it. People are always staring at their phones. But then my daughter says, "I'll bet he's playing Pokémon Go."
Pokémon? Wasn't that a 90's thing? Well, this isn't your mother's Pokémon (I would say to my daughter.) This Pokémon game has cracked the code into augmented reality, more or less. This app integrates the Pokémon into the real world of the user. You can literally find these characters anywhere.
And it's created quite a stir due to it's popularity and how much money it has generated.
But not everyone is cashing in, and many articles have been written about that as well.
There's also concern about safety given how hyper-focused people can be when using this app to try and catch the characters. For example…
Yep, I think we can guess why this person got pulled over.
There's also been pleas from places like Arlington Cemetery and The Holocaust museum asking people not to try catch characters in these spaces. Sounds like the Pokémon need to learn some boundaries.
Anyhow, at the end of the day, this blog is about fun, and this app is fun. Just please be careful and considerate of those around you. Now I'm going upstairs to ask my daughter how to work this thing! 🙂

Rigorous Learning for Educators Who Lead
Culturally responsive pedagogy can be a game-changer in a school's pursuit of educational equity.
But! There are misconceptions about what culturally responsive pedagogy is and how it works. CRT is more than just a set of multicultural activities, social justice lessons, or kinesthetic learning strategies. It's so much more.
Our workshops are designed to create foundational readiness to build a culturally responsive classroom, lead a culturally responsive school, or coach teachers toward greater responsiveness. Each covers the mindsets, moves, and capacities necessary to effectively be culturally responsive in ways that changes student outcomes over time.
It is important to note: These are not "train the trainer" workshops unless indicated.
Culturally Responsive Teaching and the Brain: Foundations Seminar
While not required, participants are strongly encouraged to have read Culturally Responsive Teaching & The Brain (Corwin, 2015) prior to the workshop.
DURATION: 2 Days
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Educators K-12, leaders, and instructional coaches.
Culturally responsive education is the next evolutionary step on the path to educational equity? But, what are the basics of culturally responsive pedagogy? What distinguishes the Ready for Rigor approach from other equity efforts like cultural proficiency or social justice pedagogy? How can I start incorporating cultural responsive practices now using this model? This 2-day training focuses on helping educators put in place foundational practices that set the stage for successful implementation of culturally responsive teaching and learning.
Culturally Responsive Lesson Design
Prerequisites: Foundational Seminar or completed online Virtual Bootcamp
DURATION: 1 Day
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Educators K-12, leaders, and instructional coaches.
Culturally responsive lesson design is more than just "diversifying" your content to make it more multicultural. Instead, it focuses on developing students' capacity for deeper learning. What are the building blocks of this type of lesson design? How do I make content more authentically relevant, especially in math and science? We will delve into the tools and processes associated with Information Processing quadrant of the Ready for Rigor frame. You'll learn the core learning tools that make instruction more culturally responsive. This 1-day training is a "make and take" workshop focused on building lessons that leverage culture as a cognitive scaffold for processing new content. We will also plan for how we get students "ready for rigor" as part of the design process. This is a foundation for all other trainings.
Coaching for Cultural Responsiveness: Introduction
Prerequisites: 1) Prior coach training. 2) Read Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain and 3) Attended the Foundational Seminar
DURATION: 1 Day
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Instructional coaches.
Instructional coaches are a vital linchpin that help translate the leader's vision into reality when they are able to partner with teachers around culturally responsive practices. This workshop is designed to add new tools to experienced coaches' repertoire. Focus is on helping teachers shift deficit thinking about student capacity and on implementing learning partnerships. In addition, we will examine how to support teachers to shift their instructional delivery to be more culturally responsive.
Coaching for Cultural Responsiveness: Intensive
Prerequisites: 1) Prior coach training. 2) Read Culturally Responsive Teaching & the Brain and 3) Attended the Foundational Seminar
DURATION: 2 Days
WHO SHOULD ATTEND: Instructional coaches.
This workshop covers the same content as the 1-day day. On the second day, we focus on in-depth role play and action planning. We will have an opportunity to explore instructional moves in more comprehensively as well.

As there is a wide variety of different kinds of dementia, there are also an extensive number of possible symptoms that a person may live with.
For some, it may be challenges with their memory, for others it may be difficulties with speech and swallowing. Another common symptom that many people with dementia experience is challenges with mobility.
Physiotherapy can help people with dementia in a number of ways. They can provide assistance and support by tailoring unique routines. This can include;
- Movement exercises to keep muscles strong and flexible and make certain motions and activities easier
- Balance training to help reduce risk of falls and may encourage them to stand on their own or use a walker.
- Gait re-education with or without walkers
- Provide advice on mobility aids or equipment that a person may need to promote mobility and function
One study looked at the benefits of physiotherapy for people with advanced dementia. In a small scale study, it looked at 16 patients of a long-term care hospital ward who all had advanced dementia.
What it found was that mobility skills increased in six of these when physiotherapy – this consisted of body awareness, music and movement and functional mobility training – was introduced for the first time.
These improvements were seen within one to six weeks of treatment, and it was found therapy has the "optimal response" when done from five to nine weeks.
Unfortunately many aged care residents, hospital patients and older people with moderate to advanced dementia, find that they are denied physiotherapy for a number of reasons.
One common reason reported is that a person is not suitable because "they cannot remember the instruction or the advice given to them" or that they cannot follow the instructions given to them.
And while people with dementia may find physiotherapy challenging, the therapy can be altered and moulded to their capabilities. This may come back the health professional's understanding of dementia and the potential benefits of keeping people as mobile as possible.
For example, instead of making them do stretches that require them to stand, do exercises that they can manage while they are sitting down, or that they can do from their beds.
Ideally, these exercises will be assisted by a physiotherapist or a carers, which lowers the risk of them falling or doing the exercise wrong.
Just because a client can be "challenging" does not give a justified reason as to why they should not access or be assisted with a particular therapy.
It's important to encourage older people to do what they can within their limitations, and not set them up to fail with exercises that are too hard, or worse yet, give up on them entirely.

Allo lovelies! I'm back to the bloggy world today, for reasons which are yet to be determined. I just felt like it, you know?
I've got something a bit fun for you this evening… a hen's night! But not just any hen's night. No siree! This hen's night's activities were completely devoid of penis straws/headbands/statues/drink bottles/etc and strippers and shots of hard liquor. I breathed a strong sigh of relief at the absence of each and every one of these elements, but was glad it didn't stop the gals from getting a little rowdy with their jokes – that's always fair game in my books!
Our group was full of ladies from all sorts of backgrounds, of a variety of ages and had a broad range of culinary skills and confidence, so chucking us all in the Sprout kitchens with a few glasses of (local, delicious) vino under our belts was probably quite a risky idea. My friend Lauren (le bride) and her lovely bridesmaids obviously had faith in us though, as that's exactly what we were to be getting up to!
Champagne and cheese platters on arrival got us off to a cruisy start as we divided off into pairs and got the run-down from Chef Callum and Dietician Cian. The night went as follows: 1. Wine and cheese and chats and gifts from lesbrudesmaids, 2. Demo from Callum and Cian, 3. Our turn to attempt to cook the course, 4. Wine and games and eating what we'd just cooked, 5. Repeat steps 2-4 and 6. Chuckles and goodie bags and farewells as the rest of the team popped off to Nook Nosh to continue the lols and wines.
I was very chuffed to be paired up with the bride, Lauren, for the night's cooking as well as the quizzes and games. Together, we were 'Team LL Cool J' and we dominated the cooktops. Our plating-up was less dominant but hey, you win some and you lose some, right? I was really impressed with how achievable all of the dishes were to cook and how hands-on Cian and Callum were in coming around to chat and help us out with some handy tips and tricks. We cooked a grilled lamb backstrap on pearl barley, spinach and mixed mushroom salad for main and then baked rhubarb with goat's cheese mousse, lemon curd and walnut mousse. Everything was delicious, simple and (mostly) healthy so that's a win on all fronts!
The team at Sprout do catering and cooking classes and special events of all sorts. They're super friendly and they know their stuff, making their studio the perfect spot to learn some new kitchen skills or fine-tune some old ones.

"April 19, evening: Last night I escaped. The weird thing is that I escaped to a place where all the residents are locked up. Oh, they're treated real good and everything, but they just can't leave. I know what that's like."
Last Sam's Cage is the remarkable story of fifteen-year-old Eddie Slater. Already labeled a young offender, Eddie runs away from an abusive step-father and takes up residence at the Calgary Zoo. There he meets Jack, a middle-aged man who has been coming to the zoo's playground every day for thirty-two years to watch the children. Convinced that Jack is either a pervert or just plain weird, Eddie follows him home one day, and eventually breaks into his house to see what he can find. He discovers more than he bargained for—and that discovery changes both Eddie and Jack for good.
"Brilliant! I couldn't put it down."—Sharon E. McKay, best-selling author of Charlie Wilcox

Indian Envoys Face Protests At Melbourne Gurudwara
Protesters who accosted the diplomats raised slogans against the alleged torture of Jagtar Singh Johal by Punjab Police.
The Indian High Commissioner to Australia, Ajay Gondane, was recently prevented from entering the Tarneit Gurudwara Sahib in Melbourne by a group of protesters. Gondane, who was on an official trip to Melbourne, had made the visit as he was keen to visit religious places in the area.
The diplomat was, however, stopped from entering the gurudwara on Nov. 18, SBS Punjabi reported. The protesters argued with Gondane for a long time at the entrance. After he was subjected to several minutes of protests and slogans that asked to "free Jaggi", he was let inside the gurudwara to pay obeisance. He left after taking his prasad. The area has a dense population of the Indian diaspora.
"This is an extremely unfortunate incident," Gunwant Kaur, the secretary of the gurudwara management committee, was quoted by the publication. She added that there was a group of around 25-30 protesters, who started arriving at the gurudwara from 7.15 am onwards. "They were very loud and aggressive, and had surrounded Indian Consul General Manika Jain, who had arrived earlier," she said. "They created quite a scene and crossed all limits. They were extremely disruptive and were trying to intimidate the Gurudwara committee members as well."
Kaur added: "There are much better ways to protest. This is certainly not the way. These people didn't behave like Sikhs are meant to, and have brought a bad name to the entire community."
A video of the incident has been doing the rounds on social media, in which Gondane is seen trying to reason with them. In the video, protesters can be seen telling Gondane that he could enter the premises as a devotee but "not as a representative of the Indian government."
A protester can be clearly heard in the video saying that no Indian official would be allowed to enter any gurudwara in Australia.
" We were protesting the arrest of 47 Sikh youths in Punjab in recent times, the latest example being the arrest of Jagtar Singh Johal who was in India for his own wedding," Harkirat Singh Ajnoha, one of the protesters seen in the video, told SBS Punjabi. "We want to raise awareness about the human rights violations in Punjab and recognition of the Sikh genocide. Although everyone is welcome at any Gurudwara, but we won't let officials use their visit to influence our youngsters from our stages."
The reference to Jaggi pertains to Jagtar Singh Johal, a British Sikh who is in Punjab Police's custody. While the police say Johal is allegedly linked to killings of Hindu leaders in the state, there has been uproar at many places among the community over alleged torture he has faced while in custody.
Gondane told the publication that his purpose is to foster a sense of community and brotherhood. "There is no question of 'us' and 'them'. It's all about 'we'. We are all together as one community," he said. "If anyone has any grievance, they can bring it to me and I'll be happy to look into these."

To mark World Water Day, on March 22nd Solidarités International and its agency BDDP Unlimited rolled out a campaign to build awareness of the scourge of undrinkable water.
Today, it is estimated that 3.6 million people, including 1.5 million children under the age of 5, die every year of diseases borne by unhealthy water, making it the world's leading cause of death.
Yet the public isn't aware of it and political leaders do not demonstrate the drive it takes to end the terrible deaths. The campaign calls on journalists to spread awareness of this scourge and appeal to readers to sign a petition that will be personally handed to the French president during the 6th World Water Forum in March 2012.
To evoke the silent and invisible threat of unhealthy water, BDDP Unlimited opted for a minimalist approach that is both visually appealing and surprising, using water and ink exclusively. The spot shows the power of ink to reveal the invisible.
The spot, created by BDDP Unlimited, produced by Hush and directed by Clément Beauvais, a young director, illustrator, musician and photographer. His multiple talents and mastery of various techniques enabled him to both create the drawings and direct the spot.

The 12 Myths
[wptabtitle]Myth 1[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]Bankruptcy relief is no longer available – Despite a tremendous amount of misinformation concerning the 2005 reforms to the bankruptcy code, very little has changed concerning the individual's ability to seek financial relief.[/wptabcontent][wptabtitle]Myth 2[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]Everyone will know I have filed for bankruptcy – Unless you are a prominent person or a major corporation and filing is picked up by the media, the chances are very good that the only people who know about the filing are your creditors. While it is true that bankruptcy is a public legal proceeding, the numbers of people filing are so massive, very few publications have the space, the manpower or the inclination to run all of them.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 3[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]All debts are wiped out in a Chapter 7 bankruptcy – Certain kinds of debt cannot be erased. They include child support, alimony, student loans and debts incurred as the result of fraud. If you have defrauded someone and a judgment has been made against you, that won't be discharged either.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 4[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]I will lose everything I have – This is the misconception that keeps people who really should file for bankruptcy from filing. While bankruptcy laws vary from state to state, every state has exemptions that protect certain kinds of assets, such as your house, your car, money in qualified retirement plans, household goods, and clothing. Most people will keep everything they have.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 5[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]I will never get credit again – Quite the contrary. It won't be long before you are getting credit card offers again. They will just charge you very high interest rates. On the other hand, if you are planning on purchasing a home or a car, you might want to do so prior to filing. These will be tougher to get after you file and the impact of even a single point of interest may be significant.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 6[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]If you are married, both spouses have to file for bankruptcy – Not necessarily. Whether one or both spouses seek relief is a function of the type of debt owed and whether the debtor(s) live in a community property state. In many instances, only a spouse need to seek bankruptcy relief.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 7[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]Only deadbeats file for bankruptcy – Most people file for bankruptcy after a life-changing experience, such as divorce, the loss of a job or a serious illness. They have struggled to pay their bills for months and just keep falling further behind.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 8[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]I don't want to include certain creditors in my filing because it is important to me to repay them back someday – Just because a debt is discharged in bankruptcy does not prohibit you from repaying the obligation at some point in the future. The discharge prevents the creditor from asking.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 9[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]Filing for bankruptcy will immediately improve my credit rating – This sounds like an ad from a less than honest attorney seeking bankruptcy clients. Any reasonable person will understand the filing a bankruptcy does nothing to immediately improve your credit rating. However, filing for relief may start the process of credit rehabilitation.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 10[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]You cannot get rid of taxes through bankruptcy – Income tax obligations older than three years past due, in which the tax was assessed more than 240 days prior to the filing of a bankruptcy and for which the tax return was filed more than two years prior the filing of the bankruptcy petition are generally discharged.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 11[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]You can only file for bankruptcy once – The truth is, if you need to, you can file a Chapter 7 bankruptcy once every eight years. For a Chapter 13 you can file more often than that.[/wptabcontent]
[wptabtitle]Myth 12[/wptabtitle]
[wptabcontent]I can max out all my credit cards, file for bankruptcy and never pay for the things I bought – Simply put, borrowing money without the intent to repay is called FRAUD and is not dischargeable. Bankruptcy relief is intended for the honest, but unfortunate debtor.[/wptabcontent]

Columbia, SC (WLTX)- House lawmakers voted 103-3, passing a bill aimed to combat anti-semitism on college and universities in the wake of recent incidents nationwide.
The bill (H.3643) would require schools to use the U.S. State Department's definition of anti-semitism, a move that had critiques concerned about infringing on their first amendment rights.
"The State Department's mission is not to set policy for American Citizens," Rep. Jonathan Hill said on the House Floor Thursday. "The definition that they apply to other nations in determining whether an action is anti-semetic may not be the best way to measure that for American citizens."
Rep. Beth Bernstein, co-sponsor of the bill, said the legislation would instead address any criminal activity that is spun from anti-semitism.
"It does not affect the curriculum of what a professor wants to teach in class," Bernstein said. "This is aimed at combating all of the anti-semetic incidents that we are seeing across the nation at an alarming rate."
The bill's language includes that "Nothing in this act may be construed to diminish or infringe upon any rights afforded by the first amendment to the U.S. constitution."
The State Department's examples of anti-semitism under their definition are below:
Contemporary Examples of Anti-Semitism:
-Calling for, aiding, or justifying the killing or harming of Jews (often in the name of a radical ideology or an extremist view of religion).
-Making mendacious, dehumanizing, demonizing, or stereotypical allegations about Jews as such or the power of Jews as a collective—especially but not exclusively, the myth about a world Jewish conspiracy or of Jews controlling the media, economy, government or other societal institutions.
-Accusing Jews as a people of being responsible for real or imagined wrongdoing committed by a single Jewish person or group, the state of Israel, or even for acts committed by non-Jews.
-Accusing the Jews as a people, or Israel as a state, of inventing or exaggerating the Holocaust.
-Accusing Jewish citizens of being more loyal to Israel, or to the alleged priorities of Jews worldwide, than to the interest of their own nations.
What is Anti-Semitism Relative to Israel?
EXAMPLES of the ways in which anti-Semitism manifests itself with regard to the state of Israel, taking into account the overall context could include:
-Using the symbols and images associated with classic anti-Semitism to characterize Israel or Israelis
-Drawing comparisons of contemporary Israeli policy to that of the Nazis
-Blaming Israel for all inter-religious or political tensions
-Applying double standards by requiring of it a behavior not expected or demanded of any other democratic nation
-Multilateral organizations focusing on Israel only for peace or human rights investigations
-Denying the Jewish people their right to self-determination, and denying Israel the right to exist
However, criticism of Israel similar to that leveled against any other country cannot be regarded as anti-Semitic.

Excluding Water & Hydro
Project Overview
ONE28 Waterloo Condos will completely redefine campus living at King St. N. and University
ONE28 is a new project by CTN Developments scheduled for completion in Spring 2020. With its modern amenities and luxury design, its a breakthrough for future residents of Waterloo. It's a building that incorporates all the things one could want in big city living, for people in the tri-city area.
With unparalleled access to the University of Waterloo and Wilfred Laurier University campus, this is a great opportunity for investors. As a condominium building, this is a luxury alternative to residential accommodation around these two massive institutions. The demand has been there for so long, and finally, CTN Developments have stepped up to the plate to create the perfect living situation.
It's a taste of home with access to everything a student could need attending the University of Waterloo or Wilfred Laurier. With prices starting in the high 200's, you're actually purchasing a property that's brand new. It requires very little work to maintain. The concierge service makes safety and comforts a priority for all residents!
This is also a great opportunity for young professionals. If you will notice, many major tech companies work out of Waterloo, only minutes from King St. N. and University. So, this becomes a two-fold opportunity to live and invest in a piece of property that is sought after by two demographics that are omnipresent in this region. Year-round demand is something that's not a reality to buy in at these low prices in most of Canada's major cities.
For that reason, this is an opportunity to take a look at VIP sale access to the best floor plans and early prices on ONE28 Waterloo Condos. King St. N. and University are not home to many projects quite like this, so get in early and call today!
A location that requires no commute: ONE28 King St. N.
128 King St. N. at University in Waterloo. Laurier and Waterloo campus neighbourhood:
This location speaks for itself. With nearly 60,000 students at Waterloo University and Wilfred Laurier University combined looking for housing all year round, 30,000 tech jobs and 40% property value appreciation in Kitchener/Waterloo in the past year: this is a no-brainer.
Whether you are looking for somewhere for your children to live while in school, you are a young professional looking to live near work or you are an investor: this is somewhere you really can't lose. Waterloo's luxury condo market is effectively untapped and ONE28 is really your opportunity to own a piece of what will be a winning project.
Waterloo condos have been limited largely to the residential outskirts and development has rarely been so close to universities. With the incoming LRT in Waterloo, this is the perfect opportunity to enter the King St. N. and University neighbourhood early.
You can tell from the map, that this area is already home to everything one could want. From transit, shopping, businesses, major institutions, this might be the most convenient place to live in Waterloo.
For access to this project at all stages meaning, floor plans, up to date prices and unit availability, contact today! ONE28 Waterloo condos will surely sell out quickly!
Floor Plans / Price Lists
The Best Modern Condos in Waterloo at ONE28
CTN Developments has taken special care to build one of the best modern condos in Waterloo that the city has ever seen. They have taken into account; amenities, access, features, design, location and prices – and this is what they have produced! Something beautiful, functional and investment ready.

Ransomware known as Bad Rabbit has been circulating in multiple countries on a global basis.
A suspected variant of Petya, Bad Rabbit is ransomware, malicious software that infects a computer and restricts user access to the infected machine until a ransom is paid to unlock it, according to a report released from US-CERT.
New Ransomware Attack Approach
New Ransomware Targets Android
Manufacturers Targets for Attacks
SMBs Face Ransomware, IoT Attacks
As always security experts suggest individuals and organizations not pay the ransom, as this does not guarantee access will end up restored. Using unpatched and unsupported software may increase the risk of proliferation of cybersecurity threats, such as ransomware.
Ransomware has been a more recent type of attack against industrial control systems.
Email was the entry point for ransomware to get into a North Carolina transmission plant's computer network a year ago.
Once it was in, it quickly spread and threatened to lock up production until the company paid a ransom. Luckily, the Durham, NC-based company was able to catch and block the malicious code as it was about to head back to its command and control center.
From a financial perspective, Durham, NC-based AW North Carolina stood to lose $270,000 in revenue on top of wages for idled employees for every hour the factory wasn't shipping its auto parts to nine Toyota car and truck plants across North America, said John Peterson, the plant's information technology manager.
AW North Carolina is just one of a growing number of firms facing ransomware, which gives the bad guys a quick financial boost and costs manufacturers lost time and money if they don't pay up.
With the WannaCry attack that hit multiple industries in May and the follow up Petya attack in June, ransomware is becoming a big threat for manufacturers today, and with increased connectivity becoming more of the norm, it has the potential to be a bigger issue in the years to come.
Production lines that integrate automation into production for products — whether it is transmissions, gasoline, chemicals, pharmaceuticals or paper clips — face a greater potential for attack. That is also why increased visibility on to a network is becoming one of the fastest growing trends manufacturers are starting to pick up on.
The Petya ransomware demanded a $300 bitcoin payment to retrieve encrypted files and hard drives. Back in June, the account had received only $10,000. German email company Posteo blocked the email address the Petya hackers were using to confirm ransom payments.
Qute a few companies suffered from the attack like shipping company A.P. Moller-Maersk reported a computer systems outage.
Russia's top oil producer Rosneft said its servers had been hit in a large-scale cyber attack, but its oil production was unaffected.
Renault and Honda also felt the effects of the attack.

Former supermarket of unknown origin that was later converted into Northwest Indiana's first indoor paintball arena.

I am a Millennial and I am unapologetically cheap.
Now, I will shell out the big bucks for something I really need or value. After all, I am an Apple consumer... but when it comes down to loyalty, I'm skittish. Money is tight. My professional future is uncertain. I'm not necessarily going to pay for something just because it's convenient or it has a slick marketing campaign.
I tend to avoid big commitments unless I can test the product out first. What do my friends and family think about the product? I want someone to give me all the facts and to be honest about the product before I even consider opening my wallet.
I know a lot of people who pay money for applications on their phones. I'm not one of those people; I only download free applications to my HTC MyTouch 4G Slide. To me, paying for an application on a phone is ridiculous and definitely not a necessity. For the most part, if there is a really cool app out on the market that I want - and it costs $4.99 - I can almost always find a free version of the app somewhere in the Play Store. Some of the free apps I have on my phone are: doubleTwist, Draw Something Free, Mint.com and MyFitnessPal – all apps I use on a daily basis.
Last week VPM wrote about Netflix and the costs associated with cable TV. Running with that topic, I offer a personal illustration:
A few months ago, I walked in on one of my friends watching re-runs of "The Wonder Years". As a fan of this show growing up, I freaked out and quickly found out he was using a free trial from Netflix. So I went home, researched the offer online and downloaded Netflix to my Wii.I enjoyed watching re-runs for a solid month, but when it came time to pay up ($7.99 per month) I balked. My decision making process goes a little something like this...
- Interest in Netflix because friends / family highly recommend it.
- What does this service cost? Sweet! Netflix offers a free, unfettered one-month trial.
- Trial period. Watched tons of "The Wonder Years" re-runs.
- Do I really need this service? I'm already paying for cable, so no, this product is not a necessity for me.
- Reconsideration period. What is my satisfaction level with cable television? What are the true costs / benefits?
So, I'm not a Netflix customer yet – but the experience was positive enough to cause me to question the value I attach to cable.
I am currently locked in a yearlong service agreement and I just can't justify paying an additional $8 for re-runs.
But as prices on cable television rise, I am leaning towards other entertainment outlets that are less expensive and more convenient, regardless of the fact that they might not have everything I want. I grew up with cable television but the service is flawed. They have my business thanks to contracts, bundles and sunk costs – but they won't have it forever.

HARPURSVILLE, N.Y. — April the giraffe continues to progress toward giving birth to a fourth calf, park officials said Thursday.
The live stream from Animal Adventure Park has been going for more than two weeks with April not close to giving birth to the calf.
"We start the day without a new calf on the ground," officials said on Facebook. "All in due time and without a rush. She continues to be in great physical and mental condition."
An exact date and time of when April will be giving birth is still not known.
This will be April's fourth calf and the first for the father, Oliver. The calf will weigh around 150 pounds and be approximately 6 feet tall at birth.
Animal Adventure Park began streaming on Feb. 23 on YouTube showing April preparing to give birth.
For more stories about pets and animals, click here.
The video was initially removed after animal rights activists flagged the videos as "sexually explicit" before being restored.
Nearly 100,000 people were following the YouTube channel on Tuesday morning.
The zoo has also launched a GoFundMe campaign to offset the annual care of the giraffes and has also established a website for April.

Final Edit Underway for Under the Darkened Moon
With the live read edit getting bogged down. I'm starting to go and insert the changes from chapters that have already been completed and adding a few more with a final read through myself. Thus the final edit is going to begin now rather than after the live read edit ends as was originally planned.
You would think, after more than a dozen and a half edits, that there wouldn't be many more changes to make. But there are. In fact, here is what the first two pages looked like after the live read. Note all the yellow which are changes:
Most of the changes are not major. They are moving a sentence around, changing a descriptive word to a synonym, and taking out some redundancy. But they are still changes. And they still need made.

Leaders of the campaign said some Muslim-owned shops in the area have eagerly participated, putting signs up in their shop windows displaying their owners' stand.
The campaign is designed to show Thai Muslims' anger over the US' aggression towards their fellow Muslims in Iraq.
One local Muslim youth told me that this war is not justified.
"It is not approved by the UN. Most members of the security council are against it. The US act as if there is no rule in this world. We think it wants to destroy Muslims in Iraq."
A Muslim woman, a hotel manager who works in a five-star hotel in Pattani shared his views.
"I used to admire Bush for his strong leadership but I have changed my mind since the Afghanistan war. The attack on Iraq makes my bad feelings worse," she said.
Muslims are the biggest religious minority in largely Buddhist Thailand, numbering nearly 4% of the population.
They live all over the country but the deep south is where they are in the majority.
Locals mostly wear traditional Muslim dress, mosques are everywhere, as well as signs in Arabic.
In the past, some Muslims groups wanted to break from Thailand and establish their own Islamic state.
Fierce fighting between the government and rebels was still breaking out sporadically right up until the mid-1980s.
The government then changed tactics, using political means instead of force, to solve the problem.
This resulted in a relatively stable peace.
But recent American-led attacks on Afghanistan and Iraq have increased local resentment.
Subdued anger
"Most Muslims in the deep south are moderate," said Peerayot Rahimmula, a Muslim academic at Songklanakarin University in southern Thailand.
But he warned that there might be teenagers and youths - incited by more extremist Muslims - who used violence to express their anger.
So far there have been no reports of violence towards American or other targets in the south of Thailand.
It feels like the anger, resentment and frustration are bubbling under the surface.
The boycott and some small rallies are the only signs of resentment shown by Muslims in Thailand.
Yesterday, the Chief of National Police pleaded to Muslims not to hold big demonstrations that might lead to unforeseen violence.
Another factor that might restrain some Muslims is that the current Interior Minister, Wanmoohamadnor Matha, is also a Muslim from the southern provinces.
Observers in the South believe that the Interior Minister might indirectly uses his influence among elders and scholars to keep Muslim protests in Thailand as peaceful as possible.
Some analysts believe that feelings among Muslim communities are having an impact on Thailand's standing on the war.
Although Thailand has declared itself an ally in the US 'war on terror', and has recently expelled Iraqi diplomats from the country, the government is keen to stress that it supported a UN solution to the conflict.

Last night, I had the pleasure to attend a presentation by Max Brooks, author of The Zombie Survival Guide and World War Z, at the Mayfair Theatre.
The evening began with a presentation by Dr. Robert J. Smith? (the question mark at the end of his name is intentional) from the University of Ottawa. Smith? has applied the mathematics of disease outbreaks to the zombie apocalypse. His results were chilling, with a city the size of Ottawa being overrun within 4-8 days, even if a quarantine procedure were put in place or a cure for the plague were found. The best course of action would be rapid, incremental attacks against the zombies to wear down their numbers while learning effective strategies, making each attack more successful.
What I most enjoyed was Smith?'s ability to present a very simple mathematical formula for the outbreak, then expand upon it as new ideas were introduced. In the end, we were able to follow a very complex methodology. (And, my inner math geek delighted in being back in a more academic world of formulas and models.)
Then Brooks took the stage (who, I hadn't realized, had been sitting in front of me through most of Smith?'s presentation). With quick whit, he gave a presentation and then a Q&A about what drove him to write The Zombie Survival Guide, advice on dealing with zombies, and the "Brad Pitt-sized elephant in the room" that is the movie version of World War Z.
Brooks showed tremendous grace when it came to the film. He stated that he freely signed away the rights and creative control, so has no right to gripe about the outcome (nor, he pointed out, is he under any obligation to promote or endorse it). He contrasted himself with Alan Moore, who received a much rawer deal when it came to Watchmen.
Yet under Brooks' humour was a clearly intelligent and contemplative man. The Zombie Survival Guide was his way of exploring a question he posed to himself: how would he survive? And World War Z came from the challenge of figuring out how the world would react to a global outbreak, not just the common plot of following a group of survivors. His creative works were never meant to be bestsellers, but to fulfill his own curiosity.
For example, when it comes to surviving a zombie apocalypse, many react by saying they'd want a gun or big vehicle. Yet Brooks would want a bike and water. A gun will run out of bullets. A car can break down. A bike is simple to repair and carry over rough terrain. And a human can survive for days without a gun; not so without water.
But bottled water is heavy, so one would be better to find a source of fresh, potable water. Yet no doubt others would be searching for one as well, resulting in violent competition and attracting zombies. So to increase the odds of survival, one would need to find a source of water no one would think of or be willing to settle near, meaning more isolated or harsher conditions than most would endure. And to do that takes preparation in the here and now.
How many of us, Brooks asked, are that prepared?
He also showed his knowledge of history and psychology in describing certain elements from his books, especially how the Redeker Plan was based on the psychology of Apartheid-era South Africa and Soviet military tactics in World War II.
What stuck with me most was something Brooks said about how the novel World War Z had no main characters and no miracle cure. He doesn't believe in either. To solve big problems, we all need to act just a little more heroically. This statement, coupled with Brooks' declaration that even though he's been offered money for more commercial projects he's going to work on the material he loves, had me leaving the Mayfair feeling enthusiastic and buoyed… despite an evening spent hearing how the living dead will consume the world.
