Getting handy
I had to replace the sink disposal unit after it developed a leak. It also had been making rattling noise for a while, indicating the bearings might be shot. The leak was the clincher, though, so I decided to replace the disposal unit myself after viewing several YouTube videos on the subject.
I opted to use the existing mounting bracket that sits in the bottom of the sink opening and supports the weight of the disposal unit. Since I purchased the same brand I was certain this approach would work — and it did. Sadly, there are differences in the old InSinkErator disposal unit and the new one. First, the height of the unit is slightly different so I had to use a new piece of plastic tubing when connecting it to the waste pipe. No big deal, just cut the provided tubing a few inches shorter and connect it to the exiting pipe. Unfortunately, there is a bigger difference in the diameter of the opening of the unit itself and how the sink baffle attaches to the sink mount. The new unit's baffle is too large for the sink mount opening and will not fit. Looks like I will have to spend a little more time on this project to replace the sink mount unit, which means a trip to the hardware store to purchase some plumbers' putty to seal it up correctly.
Overall, I am pleased with my work and feel confident taking on more DIY projects.
It Arrived
My new watch arrives Monday.
Nerd Alert, 2018 Edition
This is what happens when you don't have kids, and thus have a modicum of disposable income.
I did not opt for the "Max" phone because I find the large-factor device a bit tedious to hold, plus it doesn't fit in my back pocket easily. The iPhone XS is pocketable and large enough for me.
Lindsay Loves Animals
Lindsay's neighbor rescued a puppy from Craigslist so she has been bringing it to the park in an attempt to find a home for it. I am constantly amazed and inspired by her compassion for animals.
Colorado Day: Happy 142!
Rugby World Cup Sevens 2018
I travelled out to San Francisco for the Rugby World Cup Sevens tournament. I had a fantastic time at AT&T Park watching the best sevens rugby teams in the world play for the title of World Champion in Sevens Rugby. The New Zealand men and women's teams both won the title this year.
I also explored the Mission District of San Francisco and some of the local craft breweries, as one would expect me to do.
Has it been thirty years already?
I traveled back to my home town this weekend for my thirty-year high school class reunion. It was great seeing old friends again even though I had not kept in touch with most of them.
We started with a welcome mixer at an outdoor local bar where even the locals were sweating through their shirts. I sometimes forget how fortunate I am to live in the Denver, Colorado, area where it is rarely over 20% humidity and the temperatures rarely exceed 95 in the hottest part of the summer. I am also happy that we have outlawed smoking in most public places — I had to wash the clothing I was wearing twice when I made it back home to rid them of the nasty smoke odors.
On Saturday night we moved to an indoor venue, the local Country Club, for drinks, appetizers and an 80s tribute band, ostensively for dancing. Two of my favorite teachers from my high school years were also in attendance, and it was great to see them again!
I spent a few days with my father as well on this trip, which was wonderful. I am finding that spending time with family becomes more important as I get older.
Hotel Artemis
Jodie Foster! Jeff Goldblum! Also: Dave Bautista, Sterling K. Brown, Sofia Boutella, Jenny Slate, Zachary Quinto, Charlie Day!
I wasn't sure what this film was going to actually be. I had seen the trailers that indicated the movie was about an exclusive, near-future Los Angeles hospital for criminals. There are the typical ten-years-from-now-technology-will-be-amazing plot points, and the story rides on the current vibe that the wealthy of the world will take advantage of the poor, to the point where the water supply in Southern California is privatized (isn't it already, though?) and the population riots in response to high prices and limited availability. The riots make up the backdrop of this gritty, dirty Los Angeles where somehow Jeff Goldblum is the crime boss ("The Wolf King of L.A.") — a crime lord who wears Gucci dress sandals.
Jodie Foster is the Nurse who runs the Hotel Artemis, where criminals and wealthy VIPs pay large amounts of money for membership to provide immediate medical treatment for any issues they may have, including 3D-printing of organs. There are Rules of Membership ("do not kill the other patients", "no weapons allowed") that are strictly followed until they're not, and the Nurse has a backstory that explains her gripping anxiety and inability to leave the confines of the hotel. Dave Bautista plays the Orderly, "Everest," who uses her agoraphobia for a little comic relief, until she overcomes it briefly to save an injured police officer who turns up at the alley door. This violates another Rule of the Hotel Artemis: No Cops.
A confrontation occurs later when a weapons dealer (Day), an assassin (Boutella), a former gangster (Brown) and the Wolf King all meet up during the height of the riot. Oh, and the former gangster was in the middle of a bank holdup with his brother who accidentally stole a pen-vault thingy from a guy wearing a suit (who looks a lot like Jason Statham) that contains six Uber-rare yellow diamonds that happen to belong to the Wolf King…
The plot is not quite as convoluted as my description makes it sound, and the film is enjoyable overall.
Avengers: Infinity War
I would be crazy to say anything about "Avengers: Infinity War" in public before most people have a chance to see it themselves. Pro tip: don't be a dick and talk/gasp/cry in the theatre. Nobody (me) wants to hear that.

It is nearly impossible to type out a proper calculus problem. My primitive keyboard, like many others, can't type integrals, for instance. Here is a basic problem: Find the derivative of X^3 + X^2 +4X
3X^2+2X. That is the first derivative. Tell me what you can find with that new equation, and the second derivative.
Subject: Algebra

Before: Front (left) Central tooth has a poor restoration. Does not look natural and is not contoured properly to match the gumline of the rest of the teeth.
After: Replaced with an All Porcelain Crown (no metal). Tooth is now contoured to match the rest of the gumline. Restored tooth looks very natural and matches the shape and color of the patient's teeth.
Note: Patients depicted in photos have provided their consent to display their pictures online. Results may vary.
Dr Tippins has the most gentle touch of any dentist I have ever been to, and the name Urbandale Family Dentistry is so true as the whole staff treats all their patients just like they are their family.
I feel as if I'm a part of their family when I am there! Wonderful staff!. I can't imagine going anywhere else for my dental care!

Paragonians! We've been working diligently for the last year and a half developing the back end of our software. Now that we have started working on the front end and are approaching release dates of various modules of the platform, we are excited to share more details about the app features along with our projected roadmap for 2019.
Blockchain smart contracts are ideal for recording and facilitating the exchange of value, goods, services, and private data. Once information is stored on the blockchain, it is impossible to delete because altering a record retroactively will affect all linked blocks in the network. We can take advantage of the digital and verifiable nature of blockchain to solve the current fragmentation within the cannabis, agricultural, and healthcare markets. Smart contracts can immediately serve a number of businesses within the cannabis industry, and provide accountability in a way no other technology can offer:
Due to the increased demand for CRM features among cannabis distributors and cultivators, we are excited to release an introductory feature called Opportunities. With Opportunities, buyers and sellers will be able to register and get a first look into the ParagonChain Main Module.
Paragon's main module will connect every party in the Paragon ecosystem, including cultivators, testing labs, distributors, manufacturers, and dispensaries, that are seeking transparency, efficiency, and reliability. Each step in the chain of custody will be encrypted and stored in a custom secure blockchain.
Company Management: This will allow supervisors to monitor employees, grant permissions to access certain parts of the business, as well as maintaining company license information, contacts, and more. Whether managing company's facilities or delivery personnel, verifying transactions or sending and receiving invoices -- everything needed to stay on top of business operations will be accessible through the company's dashboard.
Communication Tools: This feature will be helpful when there is a need to keep track of correspondence with your business partners, schedule calls and meetings, coordinate and plan transactions, and solve the logistics problems. All communications will be encrypted and accessible by participating parties only.
Rate and Review: This system will help to keep Paragon safe from bad actors and unprofessional use. We are implementing this feature to generate positive customer engagement, and to help businesses build a reputation by allowing their customers to provide feedback on products and services. Ultimately, the customers will be able to sort companies not only by offering type, but by the rating and other criteria that can help making the final call.
Compliance: Paragon is developing a fully compliant solution capable of reporting all necessary data to government organizations and law enforcement agencies. We are following the guidelines established by the state, and taking Metrc® architecture into account when creating new products and categories. We will be able to guarantee the highest level of accountability when it comes to keeping your records organized and in ready-for-audit format.
Inventory management is a default feature that will be built into every module and will provide the ability to originate and transfer products internally or externally.
Every product will have a unique ID and QR-code, which can be used to verify necessary information, or move the product through the different phases of its seed-to-sale journey. The Paragon mobile and web apps will simplify the process of inventory management, sending, and receiving.
Users will be able to print new tags with QR-codes for repackaged or remanufactured products on-the-go using the mobile app. Adding new products to inventory or receiving transfers from other licensees will be easier than ever with the Paragon app.
Paragon is developing a software for distributors to run their own decentralized marketplace which will be integrated directly into the seed-to-sale system. Products that distributors list on the marketplace will have confirmed lab results which will be fully synchronized with each seller's current inventory.
Paragon will facilitate the creation of the marketplace, with the terms of each B2B transaction recorded into a smart contract. Products listed in the marketplace will have guaranteed transparency -- the information throughout a product's lifecycle will be securely recorded in Paragon's blockchain, eliminating the possibility of tampering with or faking the data.
Before finalizing the details of each deal and creating a new smart contract, our system will verify that all conditions pertaining to each particular type of transaction are met, together with the verification of participating parties licensing information and the capacity to make a deal. Paragon will then generate and distribute the necessary manifests needed to successfully finalize the deal.
The Distribution module will sit at the very heart of Paragon's ecosystem, as distributors play a major role in the process of transferring products in between licensees, together with repackaging and storage. Paragon will provide further utility by allowing distributors to create different rooms within the licensed facilities, and assign access to employees in order to maintain the inventory.
Distributors will be able to: create new shipments by selecting products from inventory, provide the dimensions of the new package(s), and specify the recipient's contact information. Paragon will provide easy management of vehicles, delivery personnel, as well as other depo features, like assigning drivers to delivery orders, controlling incoming and outgoing orders, and tracking delivery progress in real time.
Scheduling and coordinating the R&D and Compliance testing of the product(s) will be conveniently built into the Distribution module. With automation and authentication for state mandated quarantine lab tests, we will be offering the most reliable way to ensure products are in full compliance and never leave the facility while undergoing tests.
Paragon is looking to become the first truly mobile seed-to-sale tracking solution for cannabis cultivators. The biggest advantage we will provide, besides back-end security and reliability with blockchain, will be the ability to execute the most complex tasks on-the-go with the help of Paragons Cultivation module. Mobility is important for small and midsize businesses, who make up the majority of cultivators in California.
There are multiple stages in the lifetime of a plant that need to be logged and reported. We will take every step necessary to collect the information by using individual plant ID tags, that will allow for efficient adjustments to every plant in the same lot. Paragon will track every harvest batch and package all the way to through transfer to the next licensee.
To go even further, we will prompt the cultivators to create packages that can be privately sold or transferred in the Paragon ecosystem. Alternatively, finalized packages and products will have the ability to be placed for sale, thus facilitating the creation of the marketplace, where participants will be able to trade products and services.
Cultivators will be able to seamlessly track every plant, batch, strain, or product, and transfer to other licensees with the help of digital manifests, which will be permanently recorded in Paragon's immutable ledger.
Germification / tissue culture propagation (Nursery): Here, cultivators will be able to define the duration of the germification cycle, the type of lighting, humidity level, pH conditions, as well as the germification method they are using.
Seedling (Nursery): Cultivators will be able to provide the humidity and pH conditions to update the information in the crop, as well as the seedling method used, and they will be able to report the waste.
Vegetative: Selecting the right amount of light and type of growing agent and additives are the crucial pieces of information that will need to be recorded in the products history. One will be able to control climate, and verify the transplant details if needed, report the waste, and move plants to the next stage.
Flowering: Watering is very important during this stage, and so is keeping the records of growing mediums and fertilizers used. Growers will be able to select the duration of the stage and separate female flowers from male flowers to determine the amount of plants in the final harvest.
Harvest: Cultivators will be able to weigh in the wet and dry harvest, trim, and waste accumulated during this stage.
Finalizing harvest batches: This is where growers will be able to save the crop data from all the previous phases into a smart contract. From this moment on, users will be able to create batches and prepare products for packaging. Every product will be assigned an individual QR-code with every piece of information about the plant and particular strain, accumulated from the very beginning of the cultivation process.
When cannabis plants are harvested, they are divided into separate batches of flower, trim, or fresh frozen, and transferred to the next stage - manufacturing. Paragon's software will only request specific data based on the product type being created. Paragon will cover every step of the manufacturing process from simply repackaging the flower for pre-rolls, to engaging in more sophisticated manufacturing techniques, with both volatile or non-volatile solvents.
One will be able to efficiently record the input and output weights, extraction, terpenes, cutting agent, winterization loss, and waste. They will also be able to maintain a log of every aspect in the manufacturing process, including the labor costs, product packaging, labels and more. With this feature, it will be possible to automate the delivery of recurring materials from the vendors in Paragon's ecosystem and added outside vendors.
From keeping track of the yield percentages and terpene content in the sauce production, to calculating the direct production costs, like gas or dry ice, machine operating expenses and the prices of raw materials -- everything needed to run the manufacturing business will be built into one powerful tool that will help cannabis professionals stay organized and make educated business decisions.
Paragon Manufacturing module will support:
Putting lab results on Paragon's blockchain will protect the reputation of each lab as it will prevent suppliers from altering lab results that are locked into a smart contract. It will also protect the companies testing products by holding the lab accountable for all results they produce, encouraging labs to properly clean equipment between tests and have all machines properly calibrated. This will result in an overall greater level of confidence from regulators and in system participants to provide the most accurate results that will keep patients safe.
Paragon is developing software solutions with mobility in mind. Business owners, managers, and employees will benefit greatly by being able to execute operations on-the-go. Take back control of your time and stay on top of business wherever you are!

Scripture Reading: 1 Cor. 13:1-13 Key verse: 1 Cor 13:7
Love…bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
There was a house in the pathway of a storm. As the winds blew,
the telephone poles and electrical lines were blown and stretched to the point of separation. Finally, the few lines connecting to the electrical transformer gave way, and darkness fell across the city.
God has created us to live in the light of His love. He never meant for the storms of life to separate us from Him. However, many times this is exactly what happens. Without thinking, we overlook the approaching storm clouds of temptation and yield to their confusion and fury. Only Christ has the ability to restore the power of love- His love- to our lives once it has been severed. In repentance we find that he forgives our sins and also restores and refreshes our weary, storm-driven lives.
We must stop counting the number of times we have failed the Lord. Look up into the eyes of His eternal love where we can find unconditional acceptance. Many people wonder what God wants for them. He desires for each of us to experience the goodness of his intimate love and personal care.
His love frees you from the bondage of guilt and shame. And His love encourages you to try once more whenever you fall. This is the power of God's love: love believes all good things (1 Cor 13:7).
Dear Lord, would you please forgive my sin, restore me, and refresh my weary, storm driven life.

Welcome To Radical Love Now,
We are in a time of great change on our planet. People are awakening to a new way of living and being in our world. We are choosing to be conscious in our daily living and realizing that our every thought, belief, and action can have a positive or negative consequence for ourselves, others, our communities, our country, our world, and humanity as a whole. We realize that to create change in our world, we must create change within ourselves, which directly affects the collective consciousness.
Creating change can sometimes feel uncomfortable and challenging, whether it is a personal change or on a global level, so the Radical Love Now Podcast will be addressing a wide variety of topics on:
- Holistic Health
- Spirituality
- Sacred Activism
The intention of the podcast is to share information that educates, inspires, builds awareness, and creates positive change within our communities and globally.
Our official launch date of the podcast will be on September 16, 2019. We are looking forward to having an array of guest speakers on our program and opportunities to get involved in a variety of volunteering events to promote positive change in the world. We look forward to sharing this with you!
Many Blessings,
Bernadette McKee

The American Library Association (ALA) today announces the opening of the application process for the prestigious 2015 Google Policy Fellows program. The ALA Office for Information Technology Policy began its participation eight years ago at the program's founding.
For the summer of 2015, the selected fellow will spend 10 weeks in residence at the ALA policy office in Washington, D.C., to learn about national policy and complete a major project. Google provides the $7,500 stipend for the summer, but the work agenda is determined by the ALA and the selected fellow. Throughout the summer, Google's Washington office will provide an educational program for all of the fellows, such as lunchtime talks and interactions with Google Washington staff.
The fellows work in diverse areas of information policy that may include digital copyright, e-book licenses and access, future of reading, international copyright policy, broadband deployment, telecommunications policy (including e-rate and network neutrality), digital divide, access to information, free expression, digital literacy, online privacy, the future of libraries generally, and many other topics.
Margaret Kavaras, a recent graduate from the George Washington University, served as the 2014 ALA Google Policy Fellow. Kavaras was later appointed as an OITP Research Associate shortly after participating in the Google Fellowship program.
Further information about the program and host organizations is available at the Google Public Policy Fellowship website. ALA encourages all interested graduate students to apply and, of course, especially those in library and information science-related academic programs. Applications are due by Thursday, March 12, 2015.

Mr RockStylz – London wedding & party band
Mr RockStylz are a young, fun and professional wedding and party band based in London. Whatever the occasion, whether a wedding, birthday party, corporate function or just any old shindig, Mr RockStylz will keep the dance floor groovin' all night long….
The band have performed at hundreds of events across the country over the past decade and play a huge range of music. They always keep up to date with the biggest current tracks, but play every song and medley in their own imitable style. Not only that if you have a particular song you want and it's not in their current line up, they'll learn it especially for your party!
The line up of the band features guitar, bass, drums, keyboards & saxophone which gives them a very versatile range of instruments to call on and means that they achieve a big overall sound for a five piece band.
The band travels with their own professional sound engineer too ensuring that the output of the band is of the highest quality for every single event. They also provide their own stage lighting as well so that they look as good as they sound.
They can also play an additional jazz set earlier in the day for your wedding and in between sets they can offer a DJ to ensure that your guests remain on the floor when they are taking a break.

Will you learn our first dance and/or requests?
Yes we are always happy to learn a first dance, and within reason 2-3 new requests per gig.
Do you hold your own public liability insurance?
Yes, we carry public liability insurance as a band covering us up to £5m. This is just something to note, as venues often ask for bands to be insured. We can provide policy documentation if required.
How do you manage to keep everyone on the dance floor all night?
We believe that by choosing the right genres of music, starting off with 60s-70s era, and moving towards a big finish with the latest classics from the 00s really works. As does eradicating any breaks in between songs, we never leave more than a few seconds in between songs, as that makes things very awkward on the dance floor! We have about 4 medleys that helps us do this!
Can you provide any other entertainment for our event?
Yes, we provide a DJ that plays in between the band's sets, and afterwards. We can also provide a Jazz Quartet/Trio/Duo or Jazz Pianist/Vocalist, as well as offering an Organist for weddings.
There are no reviews yet.

New Traffic Laws Address Controversial Topics
Many states are making progress on well-established traffic safety issues this year, but some laws address new and controversial issues which have inspired nationwide debate.
Here's a rundown of the changes you can expect in the coming year!
Driving Privilege Cards
Several states are in the process of establishing systems to issue drivers licenses to applicants without proof of legal residence in the United States. New programs in Maryland, Nevada, and Illinois are already accepting applications.
Newly passed laws in Connecticut and California will allow programs to begin operating next year.
Other states, including New Mexico and Utah, already had such cards available.
In most states, applicants must meet all other requirements to obtain a drivers license, including passing vision, written, and behind-the-wheel knowledge tests. The driver privilege cards also allow holders to obtain liability insurance, which in some states was not previously possible. In many states, the cards are only valid for driving, not as identification for state or federal purposes including boarding aircraft or obtaining benefits and services.
While there is still much debate surrounding this issue, these programs will help ensure that more drivers on the road have had their driving skills tested and are financially responsible.
Electronic License Plates
California is the latest state to start exploring alternatives to traditional license plates and registration documents. California's recently authorized voluntary pilot program for trying out new electronic license plate designs will conclude by January 1, 2017, and results will be reported the following year.
The primary goal of the program is to create savings for the state on printing and postage costs. Electronic plates could also be used to help law enforcement identify stolen vehicles or vehicles connected with current amber alerts.
However, statewide implementation would require additional spending to overhaul license plate production infrastructure and provide technical support for the new plates. While the Department of Motor Vehicles is not allowed collect information about the location, movement, or use of vehicles through the plates, concerns over privacy are still present - especially since the system would likely be managed through a third party company.
Florida passed a similar bill in 2012, establishing a pilot program limited to state-owned vehicles, but has not yet set a start date for the program. Since the technology is still developing so rapidly, state representatives are wary that any new system implemented right now would soon be outdated.
Distracted Driving
California passed a bill banning drivers under 18 from using either handheld or hands free devices to write, send, or read text based communications.
In Illinois, it is now illegal to use hand-held devices while driving. Illinois has also banned video devices that are visible to the driver while operating a motor vehicle, not including GPS or navigation systems, or devices that are physically or electronically integrated into car.
Illinois drivers under the age of 19 who get into an accident with injuries while using a wireless device can now be charged with "aggravated use of a wireless device," which has been upgraded to a Class 4 Felony from a Class A Misdemeanor.
Stricter DUI Laws in Colorado
Starting with the new year, Colorado will treat drivers who commit the following alcohol-related offenses as "persistent drunk drivers":
- Refusal to take a blood or breathalyzer sobriety test
- BAC of .15 or higher
- Multiple drunk driving convictions
Under this categorization, drivers face a one-year license suspension, with the option to drive with an ignition interlock breathalyzer device after the first one or two months of suspension.
While retail marijuana has recently been legalized in Colorado, it is still illegal to drive under the influence of marijuana and it can result in a DUI, just like alcohol. While the best way to measure marijuana influence is still being debated, the current law states that anyone with 5 nanograms or more of THC per milliliter of blood while driving can be arrested for DUI and can face fines, jail time, and a revoked license.
What's your stance on this year's new traffic laws? Do you think they'll impact your experience as a road user?

Customer review
Very nice and looks great
1st off AWESOME service from OC, well done guys!.
The LED strip works and looks great in my Phanteks Enthoo Evolv ATX Glass Mid Tower Case in Gun Metal.
To run the LED strip I am also using the Phanteks RGB LED Adapter Cable that i have plugged into my ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Hero IX Z270 ATX Motherboard(RGB Header 1) then into the case LED wire(un plugging the 12v output connection to the case LED's) then into the LED strip and i am now controlling the whole lot via the Asus Aura software, with NO issues!
Great long RGB single strip!
Great product!
If you're using a ASUS RGB board with the 4 RGB & 12v pins you'll need the Phanteks RGB LED Adapter Cable that is also sold here on OCUK (it only costs a couple of quid).
All in all very happy with this RGB cable, the sticky strips aint very easy to use but if your case works with magnets you wont need them anyway.
Fantastic led strip to complete my Phanteks luxe. Shame it doesn't come with it really.
Was surprised when it arrived to now find these strips are also magnetic. Phanteks must have changed their design so well done to them for listening

On IMF instructions, the PTI Government Causes Inflation through Rupee Devaluation, then Chokes our Economy to Combat it, Drowning us in Flood of Economic Misery
Inflation breaks our backs because the government weakens the rupee to fulfill the IMF colonialist condition for "competitive exchange rates."
The weakened rupee further increases the petrol and gas prices as they are tied to the dollar. This increases manufacturing costs and wipes out any expected gains in export earnings from devaluation.
The government then deliberately slows the economy down, to combat inflation through higher taxes and lower spending, to fulfill the IMF instruction for "demand contraction."
O Muslims of Pakistan!
The regime is inflicting harm upon us through IMF conditions, even though RasulAllah ﷺ said, «لاَ ضَرَرَ وَلاَ ضِرَارَ» "There should be neither harming nor reciprocating harm." [Muwatta Imam Malik, Ibn Majah].
The Sunnah of RasulAllah ﷺ established the minting of Gold Dinars, weighing 4.25g, and Silver Dirhams, weighing 2.975g, as the currency of the state.
Metallic currencies have intrinsic value hence they protect the local economy from inflation, whilst offering stability in exchange rates.
Thus, the Khilafah on the Method of Prophethood will establish the local currency on the basis of gold and silver, build up gold and silver reserves, use barter transactions where necessary to conserve reserves and insist that gold and silver are used as the basis for international trade, smashing the oppressive hold of Western currencies.

The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC)
A.K.A. The Earned Income Credit (EIC)
The Earned Income Tax Credit (EITC or EIC), which has been around since 1975, essentially provides a subsidy for low-income working families. To claim this tax credit, you must meet certain eligibility requirements and you must file an income tax return (even if you aren't required to file or you owe zero tax).
Learn About This Popular Tax Credit & See If You Qualify
The EITC is a refundable credit, which means that it can reduce your tax liability beyond zero and pay out the remaining amount as a tax refund. Because of this, people who aren't normally required to file a tax return may want to do so in order to reap the benefits of the Earned Income Tax Credit.
RELATED: Which Tax Form Do I File Now That Forms 1040A & 1040EZ Are No Longer Being Used?
The term "earned income" is defined by the IRS as "income from wages, salaries or tips, from owning or running a business farm, or certain disability income."
EITC Eligibility Requirements
Here are some of the rules that the IRS uses to determine eligibility for the Earned Income Tax Credit:
Social Security Number
You (and your spouse, if married filing jointly) must each have a Social Security Number that is valid for employment and was issued before the due date of your tax return. If you (or your spouse) are a non-citizen with an Individual Taxpayer Identification Number (ITIN) instead of a Social Security Number (SSN), you will not be able to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit. If you're claiming the EITC with a qualifying child (see below), the child must also have a Social Security Number.
Income Limits
Your AGI (adjusted gross income) refers to your total income for the year, minus certain adjustments that the IRS allows. You are eligible to claim the Earned Income Credit if your total earned income is at least $1, and both your earned income and AGI are no more than:
- $15,270 (or $20,950 if married filing jointly) with 0 qualifying children
- $40,320 (or $46,010 if married filing jointly) with 1 qualifying child
- $45,802 (or $51,492 if married filing jointly) with 2 qualifying children
- $49,194 (or $54,884 if married filing jointly) with 3 or more qualifying children
Maximum Credit Allowed
For Tax Year 2018, the maximum amount you can claim for the Earned Income Credit is:
- $519 with no qualifying children
- $3,461 with one qualifying child
- $5,716 with two qualifying children
- $6,431 with three or more qualifying children
Qualifying Child Rule
For EITC purposes, a qualifying child must have a Social Security Number (SSN). Your child is considered a "qualifying child" if your child meets all four tests designed by the IRS. The four tests are: Relationship test, Age test, Residency test, and Joint Return test. The four tests are illustrated in IRS Publication 596 (Earned Income Credit). In general, a qualifying child must be closely related to you, be younger than age 19 (or age 24 if they're a full-time student), and live with you in the United States for more than half of the year. A qualifying child cannot file a joint tax return for that year (unless your qualifying child and their spouse only file a joint return to claim a tax refund). Your qualifying child cannot be used by another person to claim the Earned Income Credit. Furthermore, you cannot be the qualifying child of another taxpayer if you want to claim the EITC on your own tax return.
RELATED: The Child Tax Credit
Filing Status Requirement
Your filing status cannot be "Married Filing Separately" if you want to claim the Earned Income Tax Credit. All other filing statuses — including Single, Married Filing Jointly, Head of Household, and Qualifying Widow(er) with Dependent Child — are eligible for this tax credit.
RELATED: How Getting Married Affects Your Taxes
Foreign Residents & Foreign Income
To claim the Earned Income Tax Credit, you must be a U.S. citizen or resident alien all year. If you are a nonresident alien married to a U.S. citizen or resident alien, you may file a joint tax return and elect to be treated as a U.S. resident instead. You also cannot file Form 2555 (Foreign Earned Income) or Form 2555-EZ (Foreign Earned Income Exclusion) if you want to claim the EITC. The Foreign Earned Income Exclusion applies to U.S. citizens and resident aliens who are living and working abroad. For more information, please refer to IRS Publication 519 (U.S. Tax Guide for Aliens).
Investment Income Limit
For tax year 2018, your investment income must be $3,500 or less to qualify for the Earned Income Tax Credit. For EITC purposes, investment income generally includes interest, dividends, and capital gains. It can also include royalties and passive activities from Schedule E, though most taxpayers don't have to deal with those.
How to Claim the Earned Income Tax Credit
The EIC is reported on Line 17 of Form 1040 (U.S. Individual Income Tax Return).
If you have a qualifying child, you will need to file a Schedule EIC (Earned Income Credit) with your Form 1040. If you are claiming the tax credit without a qualifying child, you do not need to use Schedule EIC. Schedule EIC is designed to provide the IRS with information about each qualifying child you are claiming for the tax credit. Even if you have more than three qualifying children, you only need to report three of them on Schedule EIC.
The IRS website has an EITC Assistant to help you determine if you are eligible for the credit.
For more information about this tax break, see IRS Publication 596 (Earned Income Credit).
Prepare your taxes online and see if you qualify for the EIC:

Electric air taxi startup Lilium completes first test of its new five-seater aircraft (3 minute read)
A German startup, Lilium, has created a prototype of its all-electric five-seater aircraft that will be part of the air-taxi service it aims to launch by 2025. The prototype had its first test flight earlier this month, demonstrating its ability to lift off from the ground vertically and land safely. There was no demonstration of its forward flight capabilities. A 3 minute video is available showing the test flight. Many companies are now racing to develop flying taxis. One main problem facing the industry is managing weight capacities on aircraft. Lilium claims to have an industry-leading payload ratio, which will make a huge difference in determining the company's success.

Victor Vescovo, a retired US Navy officer, made a record-setting solo dive to the bottom of the 'Eastern Pool' of the Challenger deep, reaching a depth of 10,928 meters. A second world record was set for the longest time spent at the bottom of the ocean by an individual after Vescovo spent four hours exploring the basin. It took around 3.5 hours to reach the bottom of the ocean, and about 3.5 hours to return to the surface. The goal of the mission was to test a submersible that was built to withstand multiple dives to any depths. During the mission, the submersible transversed over 110 vertical kilometers.

Dr. Knudsen, a Provo physical therapist, was born in Seattle, Washington in 1970. In the same year his family moved to Provo and later settled in Orem. He graduated from Mountain View High School in 1988 and ten years later received a doctor of physical therapy degree from Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska.
Dr. Knudsen suffered from back, neck, shoulder, and hip pain for most of his life. It is because of this that he went on to dedicate his career to helping others with persistent pain. And this is also why he has such a great understanding of what patients are going through and what happens to the body in a declined state of health.
What it comes down to is skill-mastery... It is said that it takes 10,000 hours of deliberate work to become a master, or roughly 10 years of practice in your area of expertise. One year after graduation, Dr. Knudsen spent 12 months in a spine fellowship program at the Houston Spine Center at Scurlock Tower within the Houston Medical Center training. He worked under a master PT with over twenty-five years of experience.
He has traveled to Australia and Canada to study with rehabilitation experts within two mini-residencies. His continuing education has introduced him to the brightest minds in the field of manual therapy in London, The Netherlands, Poland, and the United States. He has a passion for learning. He is always working on skill-mastery and seeks inspiration as he develops more effective treatment techniques for neutralizing pain and balancing the body along with the mind.
He is one of a few physical therapists in the USA to receive his International Certificate in the Fascial Distortion Model. FDM was developed by American Osteopathic Physician Stephen Typaldos, D.O. Dr. Howard Knudsen attended the 6th World Congress of FDM in San Antonio as seen in the video below:

Now in his eighteenth year of practice, Dr. Knudsen sees things (in regards to the pain puzzle) more clearly. He enjoys critically analyzing "new ideas" and treatments to see how they fit into his understanding of the viscious cycle of persistent pain.

Health Futures Institute
Understanding health trajectories, from the genome to the biome.
Health Futures Institute
The many interlinked facets of human health, from understanding the genome and its variable expression, to disease surveillance, health data linkage, mental health and navigating life's milestones, intersect at the Health Futures Institute.
The health precinct developing in and around Murdoch University provides unique research opportunities supporting our activities in health, biomedicine, bioinformatics and other fields including health education, communication and health sector management policy.
Our strengths in rare and infectious diseases and disease surveillance, drug hypersensitivity, precision medicine, health data linkage, Aboriginal mental health and childhood development and exercise sciences are growing, as we position ourselves to better integrate our activities within Western Australia, Australia and the Indo-Pacific region.
Our focus on translational research is improving practices in many aspects of healthcare delivery, from the public health implications of water quality management, to prescription protocols to manage drug hypersensitivity.
Through the WA Health Translation Network, Murdoch is providing academic leadership not only in the development of Perth's south metropolitan area and health precinct, but also internationally, through the International Phenome Centre network. This cluster of activities will connect teaching, research and patient care, and generate opportunities for commercialisation and innovation for the benefits of all. It's an exciting time to be in health research at Murdoch.
Our research themes and centres
Australian National Phenome Centre
Metabolic phenotyping provides a snapshot of the metabolic state of an organism and is the product of its genetic and environmental contributions. The Australian National Phenome Centre supports world-class phenotyping research, enabling others to examine the dynamic interaction between genes, environments, microbiomes, diets and lifestyles, and their impact on health and disease.
Ngangk Yira Aboriginal Health Research Centre
The focus of research for Ngangk Yira is the experience of Aboriginal health, wellbeing and social equity through an individual's life course from conception, to birth, to infancy and childhood, to youth and adulthood, parenthood, and the transition to older adulthood. Recognising that a strong start in life is fundamental for healthy and resilient children, families and communities, we aim to change the life course of the next generation of Aboriginal youth.
Centre for Molecular Medicine and Innovative Therapeutics
One size doesn't fit all. The future of medicine is personalised therapies tailored to individual patient needs, as determined by their unique genetic makeup. The CMMIT is using advances in disease diagnosis, genetic testing, 'omics technologies and bioinformatics to translate research results from the laboratory bench to the bedside, enabling precision medicine to deliver the right treatment to the right patient at the right time.

3 Ways to bring more freedom to your freelance business (without sacrificing income)
A resume too long? No, never. Your Maris Group Talent Tribe resume should be as long as you need it to be. And include absolutely every word that you would use to describe anything you have ever done and are willing to do again for money. You see, every Maris search starts with the client's keyword. And if the keyword isn't in your resume, you simply won't show up. Cover all the relevant marketing, communications, product or digital skills and cover them in every way – such as web marketing, e-commerce and on-line shopping. We may ask you to edit for relevance once you are being considered as a candidate for an immediate assignment. But initially – give us the unabridged version. Do you have a silly question? Ask us – we would love to use it in our next blog!

Are you a marketing or communications professional who has always wanted to "go out on your own?" Do you love product marketing or digital media but want to work with more flexibility? Perhaps it is time to seriously explore becoming a consultant or freelancer (or as the IRS will refer to you, an independent contractor). Following is the checklist we recommend to use in assessing your freelance readiness . . .
Have you consulted with a professional for advice on financial flexibility and tax ramifications?
Have you banked six months of income in liquid assets?
Do you have a fully functional remote office (smart phone, protected laptop or PC, scanner, current software etc.)?
Have you registered a business entity with the State of Colorado?
Do you have the confidence and comfort level to work independently?
Have you identified the highest potential freelance clients as well as the "low hanging fruit?"
Have you discussed with those around you about this lifestyle/income change?

People call us all the time and ask about the lifestyle of a freelancer or consultant (better known by the IRS as a 1099 independent contractor), "How long till my first job?" and "When do I get my first paycheck?" Well, first, who knows! And second, it's not a "job" or a "paycheck" in the traditional sense. If the very first thought someone has when considering becoming an independent contractor is when their paycheck will come, then perhaps they simply aren't ready to be that independent. For a marketing, communications or digital professional, this is a way of life, not a career. Some are ready and others are not. Are you?

Hi friends! I hope you all had lovely weekends, filled with snuggly jumpers and good, comforting autumn food. Is it just me or does anyone else feel like this time of year flies by so fast? I have to remind myself that although it feels like we're hurtling towards – dare I say it – Christmas, in reality there's still plenty of time left this year to achieve the things we want to.
A few people have asked me recently how to go about starting a blog and what advice I'd give, so I thought I'd write a post with some useful links and tips for getting started. If this is something you've been thinking about, it's never too late to start.
First things first, I'm not a 'big' blogger. I don't have thousands of social media followers and I'm not here to teach you how to be the next Zoella! What I am is someone who loves writing and creativity, and being part of an online community, who's learning all the time. I started my blog back in 2012 after graduating from uni (you can read my first post here if you fancy – though I have to warn you the old stuff is a bit cringey!), and blogged now and then when I felt like it.
At the end of 2017, having written one post in that entire year, I realised that I wanted to take it all a bit more seriously and make my blog into a proper website with its own name, that I could build and grow. Well, this is my 72nd post of 2018 so I guess you could say the New Year's resolution was a success!
There's no big secrets or science to starting – or building on what you already have – just a few simple things to think about…
1. Why do you want to blog?
It sounds obvious but it's a question worth asking yourself. Because if you're in it for free stuff or glamorous events, you're probably going to get disillusioned with it quite quickly. Whilst there's nothing wrong with those things in themselves, the bloggers that actually get to that stage are usually people who do it for the love of writing, or for connecting with other people, or for the creative outlet it gives them. Free stuff for example might be a by-product, but it's not the aim. Have a think about what you want to achieve with your blog, because that will really help to shape all your other decisions.
2. What do you want to write about?
It's worth having a think about what themes you want your blog to cover, rather than going in with one or two post ideas and finding yourself stuck two weeks down the line. Of course, you could make it totally random and write about anything and everything, but if you want to grow a blog that gets read by more people than your mum and gran, it's worth thinking about some over-arching categories you want your writing to fall into, and some sub-categories that can sit within these. This will help to build an audience interested in the same things, who know what kind of thing to expect each time they come back to your site. Beyond that, think about how you can add your own perspective to those themes, so that you can create content that's unique.
3. What platform do you want to write on?
Of course there's also the techie choices. I started my blog on Blogger because it was free, with one of their very basic free templates. At the end of last year I bought my current domain name (from Google Domains at £10 per year) and a much prettier template for £29 from Pipdig (who I thoroughly recommend).
A few months later after realising that my New Year's resolution wasn't just a flash in the pan and some thought on how to improve my site (with help from the lovely Sophie Cliff), I decided to move over to WordPress (hosted with SiteGround) and bought a Pipdig WordPress theme to go with this.
Personally, I prefer being on WordPress. Although it's a bit more expensive (my current domain name cost £39.60 for the year), I've found it a lot more user-friendly – I spent many hours Googling how to change certain bits of code when I was on Bloggger (not fun!) whereas on WordPress it's much easier to change things at the click of a button.
That's my own opinion but I'd really recommend checking out this unbiased review of the different platforms which should give you a bit more of an informed approach.
My last point on this is to think carefully about the domain name you choose! For six years I just had mojo133.blogspot.com (catchy, right?) so it wasn't until December 2017 that I rebranded as 'Adventures in Adulting'. The name needs to be something with longevity that you'll still be happy with in a few years' time (I don't see myself ever feeling like a real adult tbh so the name has legs) and something that fits with the topics you talk about.
So what are you waiting for?
Writing a blog has given me so much; from a positive creative outlet when I've been going through hard times, to new friends, new perspectives and an online community of people I love. I won't pretend it's a low-maintenance hobby because it takes a lot of work, but it gives an added purpose to my life and if you've been toying with the idea yourself, I would so recommend that you start!
I hope this post has given you some helpful pointers, do just get in touch with me if you have any questions (either by commenting on here or by messaging me on Instagram). Below I've listed some useful resources to help you along the way!
