IRS and Treasury propose opportunity zone tax form

The Internal Revenue Service and the Treasury Department released a draft version of a proposed tax form to collect information about qualified opportunity zones.
The proposed Form 8996 asks for information about qualified opportunity funds for tax year 2019. Opportunity zones were ushered in by the 2017 tax cuts law and provide substantial tax breaks on capital gains for people who invest in real estate projects in economically distressed communities, allowing some investors to defer their capital gains taxes for years or even indefinitely. The funds have attracted a great deal of interest from investors, but there have also been accusations that many of the zones are located in gentrifying areas that are already starting to attract investment, and stories about politically connected investors benefiting from the designation of opportunity zones in areas where they already own property or have developments underway.
The opportunity zone funds have not generated as much investment money as initially anticipated, despite a great deal of interest and hype. The IRS and the Treasury were also slow in rolling out the regulations and guidance and there are still questions about how the provisions will be applied. The new tax form may help answer some of those questions.
It asks for information about the total qualified opportunity zone property held by the taxpayer on the last day of the first six-month period of the taxpayer's tax year, and it allows the taxpayer to calculate any tax penalty if the opportunity zone fund has failed to maintain the necessary investment standards. The draft form also asks for line-by-line details about any qualified opportunity zone business property directly owned or leased by a taxpayer and any qualified opportunity zone stock or partnership interests. The form is also designed to collect information on the amount of investment by qualified opportunity funds (QOFs) in business property by census tract.
"This is an important step towards a thorough evaluation of the Opportunity Zone tax incentive," said Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin in a statement Thursday. "We want to understand where Opportunity Zone investments are going and strengthening the economy so that investors and communities can learn from the successes of this bipartisan, pro-growth policy."
The draft form requires QOFs to report the Employer Identification Number of each business in which the QOF has an ownership interest, the census tract location of the tangible property of the business and the value of the QOF's investment. The form will also require QOFs to report the value and census tract location of qualified business property it owns or leases directly.
The information will enable the Treasury Department monitor the amount of investment received by various tracts over time. By combining this investment information with data on employment and incomes, policymakers and the public will be better able to evaluate the effects of the opportunity zone tax break and to understand why some locations may be more successful than others in enticing investors.
Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., the ranking Democrat on the Senate Finance Committee, said the new requirements were overdue and referred to a recent report that Mnuchin's friend, billionaire investor Michael Milken, had benefited from the opportunity zones (see Mnuchin says he didn't know Milken would benefit from tax help). "Requiring taxpayers to prove they're actually following the rules of the Opportunity Zone program is a positive first step, but it's one that should have been taken two years ago, instead of prioritizing rules to let the Treasury secretary's cronies profit at taxpayers' expense," Wyden said in a statement Thursday. "The opportunity zone program has been operating without any effort to ensure compliance and that's inexcusable."

What Are the Benefits of Business VoIP Phone Service in Greenwood, DE?
VoIP, also known as Voice over Internet Protocol, is a service whereby phone calls are provided to the business user through the internet. While this is still a relatively new concept, it's been heavily developed by major players and has - in the most recent year or so - become a very popular option that rivals mainstream options. There are many top-notch and quality business Internet providers in Greenwood, DE, so it's likely that your current business connection will be able to support high-quality calls over the internet. However, you can use the MyRatePlan Internet Speed Test to see if your current connection supports VoIP. It's likely that VoIP represents one of the most cost-efficient business solutions in that you can tailor your service to your exact needs - meaning, for instance, you can be as granular as saying you want to pay a flat fee for free calling to a particular country and have regular international calling everywhere else.
What's more is that national or international calls are bound to be cheaper anyhow - given the fundamental difference between VoIP and traditional lines. Digitizing audio connections and sending them around the world via the internet is far cheaper than using traditional telephony lines, and so by and large international calling - at standard rates or if you upgrade to a more all-inclusive package - will be far more affordable than through a traditional provider.
Every calling feature you've come to love and respect for your traditional telephone service is fully supported by VoIP providers that service Greenwood, DE. Whether your needs are basic or more advanced, VoIP service can provide hundreds of different calling features to your devices.
One key feature about VoIP service providers for Greenwood, DE is that they have multiple plans and features that can enable and save money for businesses of varying sizes - whether you only have a few lines or you're a larger corporation with the need for many hundreds of extensions, there are VoIP packages that can suit and over-deliver on your needs. Companies of any size should seriously consider VoIP to achieve their telephony needs -and potentially save a significant amount of money in the process!
Selecting The Best Business Phone Service Provider in Greenwood, DE
VoIP has become a popular option for businesses of all sizes, and it serves as a complete solution in most situations. With so many VoIP service providers competing for business, customers can take advantage of the great deals that are available.
Before deciding on a specific company, you need to think about your needs and find out how many individual lines you'll need. It's also important to decide if you're going to expand your business in the future because a budget needs to be set.
The next step consists of looking up business VoIP providers in the Greenwood, DE area. The reputation of the company that you're considering is very important. A reliable phone system is a crucial part of every business, so you should carefully choose your phone service provider.
What is Traditional Business Phone Service in Greenwood, DE?
A traditional phone service, calls are transferred over a public switched telephone network or PSTN system. The PSTN is available all over the country and is a network of phone lines, satellites, cables, and mobile networks. At over 100 years old, PSTN is the oldest type of phone network.
This large and old infrastructure is expensive to support. This is why using traditional phones is so much more expensive than VoIP in Greenwood, DE. The network requires regular maintenance and is analog, meaning it is inefficient when it comes to transferring long distance messages.
The reasons long distance transmissions take so long is that they make several stops along the way. These stops occur at various locations owned by different phone companies. Although some of the equipment at these locations digitizes the information so it can be sent faster, the final stretch to the central switch is still analog, making the overall transmission time longer than what you'd get with VoIP.
Analog Phone Systems and PBX in Greenwood, DE
Most Greenwood, DE businesses choose to use a private branch exchange, also known as a PBX system. A PBX system allows the system to route calls to the correct line and enables the use of other calling features such as voicemail, call forwarding, multiple extensions and others. Businesses can locate the PBX system at their office or a remote location.
An analog PBX system requires multiple pieces of hardware that need to be purchased, installed and configured, so you need to keep these expenses in mind if you are considering using one. For example, the hardware alone can cost over $1,000 to purchase. That price does not include installation and configuration which will require the expertise of a professional technician.
If you are interested in an analog PBX system for your Greenwood, DE business, you should be aware that expansion can be challenging and expensive. Most PBX systems only support a limited number of lines, so if your business eventually requires more capacity than you originally designed the system for, you may be forced to purchase more expensive hardware.
All electronic equipment eventually fails and will need replacement. Since an analog PBX system requires more electronic equipment than VoIP systems, the potential exists for higher costs due to the replacement of electronic hardware. There is also the risk of your equipment becoming obsolete as providers modernize their telephone systems. Phone companies will place less emphasis on analog technology as they phase out analog and refocus on more affordable and efficient VoIP technology.

2020 flipped the investment world on its head. Many stocks that had been investor favorites like Ube...
Low Rates, Lower Dollar, 8 Great Plays
05/25/2011 10:59 am EST
Focus: STOCKS
For the Federal Reserve, hamstrung by the size of its debt and continued underperformance in housing and financials, 1% might as well be a glass ceiling...but there are several ways to play this weakness, says Louis Navellier of Blue Chip Growth in this exclusive interview with MoneyShow.com.
Louis, please tell us about what's going on with the dollar, the Fed, and interest rates.
Well, the Fed is the only central bank that's not going to raise rates. They've already said they are going to keep rates low for an extended period.
As other countries raise rates and we undermine the dollar, the Fed is essentially in a box. Their job is to keep the banking industry afloat. We appear to be having a double dip in housing all of a sudden, so that's tormenting them.
The other thing that's tormenting them is they have to keep the government afloat. We do finance the bulk of our $14 trillion-plus deficit under 1%. Most of it is in bills and notes. Very little is in treasury bonds.
What's happened is, if they raise rates significantly, the interest on the deficit could hit $900 billion a year. In fact, Peter Orszag, who is President Obama's former White House budget director, has been out saying that.
The Fed can't raise rates. It blows up the government. It blows up the bank industry. That's why they're not going to raise rates.
I'm not the only person saying that. James Bullard, the St. Louis Fed chairman, has said that. He's pointed out that maybe [the Fed Funds rate] is going to be 50 basis points in two or three years, or 75 in four or five years, but they can't break a 1% rate threshold. It just blows too many things up.
That has very good long-term consequences for the stock market, because people get so frustrated with low yields—but it does undermine the dollar, and that causes commodity inflation.
On the other hand, we know how to profit on a weak dollar. The last time the dollar dropped 37%, from 2002 to 2008, our blue-chip letter was up 132%, so we know where to go so it doesn't scare us. Of course, you can also buy commodity-related stocks and things like that.
Well, first of all, won't the private sector raise rates as the economy heats up? Don't you get higher rates because people are expecting inflation to move higher?
Well, speaking of inflation, if we measure inflation like we did in 1980, we'd be at 9.6% now, but of course then they throw out food and energy.
The personal consumption expenditure index is running 3.8%—that's Greenspan's favorite indicator. Right now, the CPI is running 2.7, but 40% of the CPI is real estate, which puts downward pressure on it.
So the Fed is like an ostrich with its head in the sand, denying there's any inflation, but we know there's inflation. You can see it at the grocery store and at the gas pump. Again, they're in a box, and they have to try to talk their way out of it. It's kind of sad.
What are the investment implications of Fed Funds staying so low for so long?
Well, as the dollar gets weaker and weaker, it causes our economy to boom—because if you look at the United States, what do we have that other countries don't have?
- We have the cheapest electricity.
- We have the best infrastructure, with freight rail, the highways.
- We have the biggest consumer market in the world.
- Of 50 states, 30 are pro-business, and trying to get more business to move there.
So, if I'm a big multinational, I might want to move more business to the United States. We've seen manufacturing turn up for the first time in 13 years. We have big manufacturers like Cummins, the Caterpillars, the BorgWarners, John Deere, are all examples of companies prospering from a weak dollar.
The weak dollar will help us recover. We just have inflation in the interim.
NEXT: The Picks|pagebreak|
Which stocks do you like? Do you still like BorgWarner (BWA)?
Yeah, very much so. They've a huge automotive supplier, and they export a lot more than they sell in the United States.
So, they're exporting to all these manufacturers?
Absolutely. China…Four-wheel drive systems to Asia. Dual-clutch transmissions to Germany, things like that.
Any other names?
Sure…TRW Automotive Holdings (TRW) we like quite a bit. They're a big automotive supplier. Again, much bigger sales outside of the US than in the US
Autoliv (ALV) is a Swedish one. They make air bags and things like that.
How about the big names in automotive...do you like the big manufacturers themselves?
Well, I'd say Ford (F). It's well run. They control their inventories.
Unfortunately, General Motors (GM) is going to have to do a second stock offering—and the push to the Volt and everything has been a disaster.
Although, we do have a company, Polypore (PPO), which is in battery technology, and it's doing well.
You still like that?
Yeah. But they can barely sell 300 Chevy Volts a month.
The most controversial vehicle is the Fisker, which is like a $100,000 Chevy Volt. They were supposed to build them at the old GM plant in Delaware, but because they can't sell many they are making them in Finland, where they've gotten $520 million from the government.
What effect does the weaker dollar and the low-rate Fed policy have on technology companies?
Oh, it helps them, because the average tech has 60% of its sales beyond our borders. It helps them. They profit from it.
So, you like a lot of those still?
Oh, we like networkers, we like anybody involved in upgrading everything to 4G. We like fiber-optic companies. They're trying to make the networks more efficient.
We have the Cloud computing companies like VMWare (VMW). We have networkers like F5 Networks (FFIV). Even 60% of Apple (AAPL) sales are international.
Tech had huge surprises last quarter. You know, in the first quarter, every sector of the S&P surprised. I've never seen that before.
Any sectors you don't like?
No. Well, I don't buy financials because of the banking problem. Don't go there.
Yeah, we like the Brazilian utility. It's CPFL Energia (CPL). Nice dividend yield, and you get the currency kicker from the Brazilian real.

Two beams shot through the sky and descended at the outskirts of the Immeasurable Tower.
Long Chuanfeng, with his arms crossed before his chest, looked like a divine king with an aura that caused others to bow down. Even the Martial Tower Lord, Zhang Badao, stood obediently behind him.
He was old with a bent back but carried a peerless aura. He arched his chest and looked forward.
Outside of the tower, many powerful auras towered to the sky, causing the young disciples to feel extremely pressured. Many experts of the previous generation had come running to the tower. Some were from the Technique Tower, some from the Dao Tower, and some from the Witchcraft Tower… Each of them were real experts. The Wanxiang Pagoda was equivalent to having one hundred sacred grounds together, yet they were still independent in co-existence.
The older experts were all startled to see the Martial Tower Lord and Divine King arrive. They quickly rushed and bowed to greet the king in their most respectful manner. Although they were top experts of the towers, they weren't much before the king.
Of course, there were also those cursing in the darkness since they perfectly understood what type of characters Zhang Badao and Long Chuanfeng were: "The two biggest bandits of the pagoda are here! They're clearly here to steal people... Someone is going to be unlucky this time."
Although everyone knew their goal, they could only secretly mutter it under their breaths as no one dared to say it out loud.
"This servant greets the Divine King!" Attendant Yu also came and prostrated before Long Chuanfeng with his forehead touching the ground.
The person before everyone was the only person bestowed the "Divine King" title in all of the dynasty. He was the uncle of the number one man, the Jin Emperor. Attendant Yu was only an inner court eunuch, so despite his supreme cultivation, he still couldn't help but prostrate to worship him.
"Luofu greets Imperial Grandfather!" Even the noble Princess Luofu left her dragon carriage. This was also the first time she revealed herself in front of everyone.
Naturally, her disposition was striking. She bore an elegance far beyond that of the daughters from ordinary clans. Just her noble aura alone was enough to cause every other women in the world to bow their heads.
The wind, flower, snow, and moon among the nine floors were not comparable to one glance from Luofu! [1. Idiom for love affair/romance/beauties, specifically one in a brothel or a hostess mansion. It is saying that all the beauties in these places are not equal to one glance from Luofu.]
This was the sentimental phrase uttered by the number one genius of the Sacred Spirit Palace, "Li Xiaonan", after seeing Princess Luofu two years ago.
And in the Wanxiang Pagoda was a devilish diviner, the "Heaven Calculating Scholar" who composed the "Spirit Treasure List", "Grand Master List", "Eight Grand Historical Geniuses", and the "Heavenly Beauty List".
And Princess Luofu's beauty was ranked fourth in the Heavenly Beauty List!
A "mortal" cannot guess the intentions of the "heavens", but the Heaven Calculating Scholar was the wisest in the land. There was nothing he didn't know and nothing he couldn't understand, so the Heavenly Beauty List written by him naturally held the most authority.
Everyone who had seen Princess Luofu's face lamented as well. The fourth ranked beauty of the Jin Dynasty did not bring shame to her fame. Her noble aura along with her jade-like features caused others to not dare to directly look at her face. Anyone who met her gaze couldn't help but bow their head.
Her head was as black as a waterfall, covering her snow-white neck that was akin to a proud swan's. Adorned with a golden dress, she stood like a fairy on the moon. There was no trace of arrogance and willfulness like the other princesses, she was as solemn as a goddess. The smile on her stunning face was enough to shock the hearts of everyone.
One smile to topple to a city, another laugh to topple a kingdom!
The Divine King and Princess Luofu were both descendants of the imperial clan. A single stamp from either of them would cause the entire dynasty to tremble.
Since the Wanxiang Pagoda was the number one sacred ground for learning in the world, any exceptional prodigy from the imperial clan, after reaching a certain age, would be brought here for both training and gaining experience. The first reason was to cultivate good talents for the imperial clan, the second was to have them befriend all the talents in the world.
Even though the imperial clan was the owner of the Jin Dynasty, the dynasty was truly too vast. Some extremely monstrous and old clans exists with enough power to challenge the family.
If the imperial clan wanted to consolidate its power, it must reach a certain threshold of unity, thus requiring the friendship between the those of the younger generation. Ultimately, these young ones would eventually become the masters of the great powers in the cultivation world.
One after another, old cultivators came out and gathered right outside of the tower. They all came to "rob people". The more sought-after talents were harder to get. Although the four prodigies in the tower had yet to come out, the atmosphere outside was already tense and on the verge of having fights break out.
If someone could break through the sixth floor to reach the seventh, then the atmosphere would be even more nervous.
It wasn't calm inside the tower either.
"Die!" Feng Feiyun's entire body exuded an evil and murderous energy. Dragonscales appeared all over his arms; his eyes were as crimson as blood as the blood inside his body surged like an endless river. Both of his hands held gigantic stone blades as he rushed forward on the sixth floor. Where he trod was filled with corpses, causing rivers to run with blood.
"Poof! Poof! Whoosh!" His mind was still extremely clear, but there was a murderous intent rampaging through his body, causing him to lose control. Only this crazed killing would allow him to find endless pleasure.
He naturally knew that there was a negative change in his body. The evil in his blood had awakened along with a trace of demonism. However, when the blade was in his hand and the enemies were to the side, there was no time for him to suppress the evil and demonic energies.
Only by letting go and roaming freely would he be able to retain his sanity.
After passing the fifth level, a sixth divine intent had appeared in his mind. Six tiny lights in the shapes of humans occupied his mind as his cultivation took a leap forward.
It was impossible to cultivate at such a terrifying speed outside of the tower. He would need at least two years to be able to go from two to six divine intents, and it would only get exponentially more difficult.
Even the most miraculous spirit medicine would not allow for one to create four divine intents in one day, yet the Immeasurable Tower was just this magical.
The seventh intent was even harder to procure, but if he could surpass the sixth floor, then perhaps the seventh would actually take shape.
This was an opportunity not to be missed. If missed, then he would have to waste another year of training.
"Boom!" His body was bloodied as his expression became ferocious. The evil mist around his body became denser and denser until it was as thick as ink. His control over his body was continuously weakening. With one slash, he split a peak God Base cultivator in half as blood spurted all over his face.
The sixth floor of the tower was a strange place. Feng Feiyun had entered an ancient city with at least one million inhabitants, and all of them were at the God Base realm.
The moment he appeared, they all attacked him without any warning or reason.
At the same time, the evil and demonic blood in his body was awakening, giving him an extremely bloodthirsty desire. He soared forward into the city where twenty to thirty cultivators already died under his stone saber. Some had their heads cut off while others were split horizontally at the waist… Ultimately, none of the corpses remained intact.
Although the ground was full of corpses, the God Base cultivators kept on rushing at him and trapped him in the middle as they unleashed their powerful attacks that intertwined.
A God Base cultivator could be an elder in a sect, but there were countless such characters here. If this continued, then even a Giant would lose his life.
What was even more crucial was that he didn't know how to pass this level or understand the method to reach the seventh floor.
The only thing he could do was to kill. If he didn't kill, then only death awaits him.
Although Feng Feiyun was fierce with his soaring evil energy, his entire body was still wounded. Golden blood dripped down from his shoulders, face, back, and arms… in an unceasing manner.
Despite his great battle prowess, he still felt powerless under the siege of so many experts. He essentially couldn't kill them all, not to mention that none of them were weak.
Why was it that so many people couldn't pass the sixth floor? Under such circumstances, many wouldn't even be able to last one minute before being torn to shreds, let alone successfully passing it.
"Die!" Feng Feiyun screamed again as he swung his blade to kill another man, painting the street with his blood.
He wanted to rush forward, but he couldn't take a step further because there really were too many enemies. It was already difficult to stay alive, let alone actively fighting back.
The higher the cultivation of a person, the stronger the enemies and the more numerous they would be on the sixth floor…
Feng Feiyun was a peak God Base with six divine intents, so the weakest of his enemies was still early God Base. There were intermediate and peak God Bases as well.
If a first level Heaven's Mandate cultivator reached the sixth floor, then their enemies would be peak God Base. Some would be grand achievement God Base along with a few first level Heaven's Mandate cultivators.
This was why having a higher cultivation didn't necessarily imply success.
"Poof!" One layer of light disappeared from the mirror. One person had narrowly failed among the four geniuses.
It was Ji Feng! He survived for one minute on the sixth floor before being gravely wounded and had to give up.
Although he couldn't surpass the sixth level, no one made sad comments. On the contrary, they looked at him with reverence as if it was a hero's return. It was his first time entering the tower, yet he managed to survive for one minute on the sixth floor — this was already an incredible feat!
In the past, Shi Yelai was not as amazing as him! Ji Feng's talents were above even Shi Yelai's!
The other three sides of the mirror were still as bright as before since the other supreme geniuses were still undergoing their respective trials.
Everyone outside quickly speculated to see who would be the next to fail. Everyone thought that it would be Feng Feiyun because the previous battle at the Martial Exhibition Tower showed that Feng Feiyun's talents were only around the same level as Ji Feng.
Since Ji Feng could make it for one minute before retiring due to grave injuries, Feng Feiyun perhaps wouldn't be much different from him.Previous Chapter Next Chapter

29 Oct Talk at the Falmouth Polytechnic
On the 26th of October Louis Turner from 3DK, Shawn Brown, and Sam Lanyon from the Concept Shed and I were the panel of a discussion group at the Falmouth Polytechnic on the Makerspace Movement. Below is the text of the talk I gave
My Name is Aaron Moore. I am a Furniture maker, with a small workshop near st Agnes and for the last year I have been running the Transition St Agnes Makerspace. A small open access workshop with some computer controlled or digital tools. Over the last 10 years I have become increasingly interested in digital manufacturing processes Particularly in the idea that design and manufacturing should be accessible to everyone. Rather than the centralized system we have today were most things we buy come from distant lands. Perhaps things could or should be made closer to home.
The Makerspace
In 2012 as part of an MA I built a CNC router which is a machine for automatically cutting out parts from plywood and timber. And recently I built a laser cutter which is a similar machine but used for cutting thinner materials like card leather paper and textiles. I did this partly because I really like making tools. And partly because I wanted to show that this technology is accessible to almost anybody and that localized distributive manufacturing could be a more environmentally friendly alternative. I now use these machines for making components for my own furniture and doing contract jobs for other designers and artisans. As well as in the makerspace. The advantage of this equipment is that once you have made one you can make as many as you like, or the design can be easily changed to make them more personal or fit particular situations.
Late in 2015 I started running open access workshops one day a month where, for a minimal fee, anyone could come for a three hour session and I would teach them the basics of the software and how to set up and use the machines. Perhaps 30 people have come over the last year and many have come more that once. Everyone makes a name tag and most people go away with something they have designed and made themselves. These are some of the things that have been made……
The Dolls caravan is a design that has been developed from scratch by Jane as a present for a relative over a period of several months. Similarly the scythe guard is an on going project that has the potential of becoming a marketable product. The design for the Lounge Chair is slightly different in that it was downloaded from the internet and then processed and cut on the router. Some people have used the Makerspace to promote their own businesses making by making illuminated signs like these.
Why am I doing this?
As a member of the Transition group in St.Agnes we aim to raise awareness of the fact that fossil fuels are running out and we are going to have to transition towards a low carbon economy. I believe that small scale digital manufacturing could have a role to play in making communities more self reliant, This can be done by making products locally, from locally available materials, for local markets, generating local employment and reducing energy spent on transport. Up till now the type of equipment that can make this possible has been beyond the reach of small businesses both technologically and financially, but this is changing, and I hope in some small way the Makerspace facilitates this change.
It allows people to learn new skills, and to make things for themselves.
It allows people to develop prototypes cheaply and fail cheaply. Usually it cost hundreds or even thousands of pounds to make a prototype before it can be put into production, but Makerspaces allow this to happen at a fraction of the cost. For example the Scythe guard
I do it because it give people the opportunity to be creative, and to make things they would never normally be able to. And these things are less likely to end up as land fill because the maker has a personal attachment to the object that he or she has made. And I think people really enjoy it.
I also enjoy doing it. Normally I spend my days on my own in a very noisy workshop. While facebook, twitter and the like build virtual communities. Using digital technology in a Makerspace environment brings people together and forges new 'real time' communities. It merges the digital, the physical and the personal.
The future
At the moment I do this on a purely voluntary basis with the fees just about covering insurance and power only. My workshop is limited to timber based projects and is too small for any sort of expansion.But I think it has shown that in a small community there is a fair amount of interest in this kind of project. The question is, is there potential for a commercially viable Makerspace that serves businesses and individuals throughout west Cornwall with a bigger range of activities? Much like the disbanded Makernow project
In order to generate Income it would have to be a much more complex animal; Would there be an advantage if the project could cope with more people? If so More equipment would be needed. There would have to be group training sessions. Plus membership fees or machine rental fees. There would have to be staff for technical and admin tasks. Perhaps links with local schools and colleges could generate income
There are many unknowns.
So there you have it. I hope that some form of expansion is possible, but would really like to know what you think?
And if anyone wants to sign up for a session please go to my website.
Thank you for listening

Keyboard and Trackpad stopped working
The keyboard and trackpad on my MacBook (Early 2009) stopped working. They work fine if I press the option key while booting or do anything else before booting such as reset NVRAM but once the OS boots up completely they don't work.
I also tried using external keyboard and mouse but the issue persists.
Esta pergunta é pertinente?
You say you have also tried using an external keyboard & mouse. Is that to say they work without any issues? It's only the built-in keyboard & trackpad that has problems - Is that correct? And both external units are USB wired Vs Bluetooth correct?

A couple of weeks ago, I posted about my partner setting up his own blog and helping him out with that (click here to go and visit his blog). So far he's really enjoying writing posts and is getting excited and getting a weekly series of posts going.
He also suggested that I do something similar or even the same. He's doing a series where every Friday he posts five of his favourite things. From video games to national trust locations to superheroes. So I'm going to be doing my favourite things every Friday too. Starting tomorrow. I'm really looking forward to this! It'll be nice to have a regular thing to post about!
There's also a couple of other things I'll be doing:
Firstly, since I am a HUGE Disney fan, I'm going to be posting an inspirational, favourite or famous Disney Movie or Walt Disney quote after my signature.
Secondly, if you are part of he Girl Gang on Facebook or follow me on Twitter, you'll know that I'll be making some changes to my blog over the coming weeks. I'll be changing the blog name and design and to go with it I want to start a weekly series of guest posts on where people live. So if you're a blogger, get in touch and send me an email and we'll sort something out!

The Festival Of Dangerous Ideas has just dropped their killer line-up of outspoken and outrageous talent and we're honestly too overwhelmed for our own good. Back for its ninth festival to dissect the dangerous ideas informing our future, this year's FODI theme lies all around Truth and Trust and is jam-packed with topics you'll want to unpack over Friday dranks with your mates for weeks to come.
As part of this theme, speakers and artists will discuss everything worth knowing in a post-truth world including artificial intelligence, the ethics of data, online privacy, censorship, rethinking colonial histories, sex, drugs, the rising power of disenfranchised online communities and more.
You can cop the entire line-up below and warning, it's a doozy (and PS. tickets are on sale now):
Local speaker
- Provocateur and author Germaine Greer joins a panel to discuss outrage culture and being branded as 'too dangerous'.
- Rockstar of AI Toby Walsh looks at the end of politics, equality and perhaps the West with the rise of the machines.
- A panel discussion on sex robots and their place in providing an outlet to make anything possible with evolutionary biologist Rob Brooks, sexologist Dr Nikki Goldstein and criminologist Xanthe Mallet.
- The Australian media are put under the microscope in a panel session Cancer on Democracy with Rebecca Huntley and Darren Goodsir with more panellists to be announced.
- Former Race Discrimination Commissioner Tim Soutphommasane joins Angela Nagle and Pankaj Mishra to consider what is fuelling nationalism and what we can expect next.
- Activist and scholar Mick Dodson delivers a sharp address arguing the European colonial project is still in full swing.
- Lawyer Rosalind Dixon and economists Richard Holden and Judith Sloan lead a conversation that asks whether inequality is always bad.
- Australia's relationship with China is considered by a panel featuring China Matters CEO Linda Jakobson with more to come.
International speakers
- Conservative historian and political commentator Niall Ferguson looks at what comes next after this current populist backlash against globalisation.
- Pankaj Mishra, historian and author of Age of Anger, charts how nationalism and extremism are inevitable consequences of an increasingly unequal world.
- Drawing on her personal experience, from both sides, ex Westboro Baptist Church member Megan Phelps-Roper argues that listening is not agreeing nor a betrayal to one's cause.
- Zeynup Tufekci and Seth Stephens-Davidowitz dissect the pros of big data sharing for society and if it is worth the cost of our personal privacy.
- Former public defender and law professor Ayelet Waldman shares the benefits of LSD microdosing and challenges conventional thinking on drug policy versus evidence.
- The author of Kill All Normies, Angela Nagle, takes a provocative look at who is really being served by the culture wars between the alt-right and a complacent left.
- Pop culture critic Chuck Klosterman reminds us of the important role revisionism plays in cultural writing.
Dangerous art and other highlights
- Part monologue, part shamanic striptease, local artist Betty Grumble presents Sex Clown Saves the World.
- FODI hosts a Counterstrike LAN party which centres around US artist Riley Harmon's electronic sculpture that shoots blood at gamers as they make a 'kill'.
- Based in the tradition of shibari, the art of rope bondage, local artist Garth Knight creates installations and performances which examine the tensions between submission and strength.
- The Australian premiere of the Royal Court's MANWATCHING is a very public telling of the very private thoughts of an anonymous female playwright, as read by a thoroughly unprepared male comedian.
- Workshops with philosophers Matt Beard, Susan Dodds, Simon Longstaff and Jeremy Moss look at how the simplest questions around the ethics of our everyday lives can soon become rather tricky.

Genre: Comedy, Drama, Thriller
Directed by: Richard Ayoade
Starring: Mia Wasikowska, Jesse Eisenberg, Chris O'Dowd, Gemma Chan
Assured but conventional, Richard Ayoade's Submarine, his directorial debut, marked the comedic writer/actor as a talent worthy of keeping an eye on. Such directors are fascinating to watch as they develop their own unique style of filmmaking and Ayoade's second film, an adaptation of Dostoevsky's novella, is a bold and brave piece that brought Brighton's superb 2013 Film Festival to a close.
Bathing his tale in unrelenting shades of beige & grey, Ayoade weaves his story slowly. We meet the mild-mannered Simon as he travels to work, where he is resolutely unappreciated by his boss and ignored by Hannah, the woman of his dreams. Out of work, Simon spends his evenings taking care of his terminally ill mother who gives him nothing but grief and sitting in his shabby bedsit staring across in to Hannah's apartment, wishing she would notice him. Decidedly cautious about setting his story, the leisurely start almost threatens to derail the whole film. Ayoade's prolonged scene setting borders on languorous and the more it goes on, the more it screams for an injection of excitement.
Mercifully, the tone changes dramatically with the arrival of James, a visual replica to Simon who embodies the confidence and charisma that Simon sorely lacks. Spending large portions of the film having to communicate with himself, Jesse Eisenberg's chameleonic performance is astonishing to behold. Eisenberg masterly switches from the timidity of Simon to the magnetism of James with a striking conviction that lends great breadth to the growing hostility between the two characters.
What plays out is a well-observed study of isolation and insecurity, Ayoade's script channeling great poignancy out of Eisenberg's portrayal of Simon. The writer/director is admirably bold in his approach, embellishing the film with flavors of gothic horror and film noir. The dark, lonely sets that characterize Simon's world are both foreboding and mysterious; the interiors shadowed like his personality, the exteriors covered in an unremitting mist. Ayoade's hallucinatory visuals, mixed with Andrew Hewitt's grand orchestral score, accentuate Simon's frustration as his life is pulled further and further from his grasp.
Ayoade's eye for balance in tone is commendable, the director drawing his story with well-grounded humor. The abundance of excellent supporting performers allow for many lighter moments, with an exceptionally well placed cameo from Ayoade's friend Chris O'Dowd being particularly memorable.
Much like the man himself, Richard Ayoade's second directorial effort is a weird and wonderful film that is both moving and witty. The painfully slow start may be too much of a turn off for some, but stick with it and you are rewarded with a sad and sweet story that's held together with confident direction and an eye-opening central performance.

We know that when you're using Targetprocess you have one goal: to be as productive as possible. To help you achieve this goal and complete your user stories and tasks as quickly as possible, we work hard to release new, useful features every month.
As you know, almost two years ago we unveiled Targetprocess 3, a new version of the tool that you love, solving various issues that its previous version had suffered from. We're heavily focused on the possibility of allowing you to see your data in various different ways and be able to alter it as easily as possible. To that end, we have been releasing many new features and changes to Targetprocess 3, but these features are not released for Targetprocess 2.
However, we know that not all of our customers are using and enjoying the new version of Targetprocess; many of you are still using Targetprocess 2. While that's perfectly okay, our Targetprocess 2 users are missing out on a lot of significantly useful features and capabilities. We know that one - perhaps, the main - reason that not all of our users have switched to using Targetprocess 3 is due to the drastic changes in the interfaces and general concepts.
We get that; a lot of things changed between the two versions and learning the ins and outs of the new version requires time. Time, though, is not necessarily the most abundant thing in the business world. To help with that, we have created a new solution just for you, our Targetprocess 2 users, to aid you in the transition over to the latest version.
Recently, we introduced the Solutions Gallery: a place where you can find different sets of views designed to support various types of processes and approaches to work. There are many solutions that include sets of views typical for an organization interested in practicing Scrum or Kanban, managing people allocations, and even performing project portfolio and test case management.
Along with these solutions is a Legacy v2 views solution, which recreates many of the views that you have come to know and love in the new version. With just one single click, you can create these Targetprocess 2 views within Targetprocess 3. To make things even better, all of your data from the previous version will be shown in the new, exactly as it had been before.
Ready to give it a try?
Open the Solutions Gallery
Simply click Create as if you were going to make a new view or group and choose to browse the Solutions Gallery. If you are using Targetprocess On-Site, you will need to install the solutions gallery from the mashups library.
Choose Legacy v2 views solution
Find the Legacy v2 views solution and check out which Targetprocess 2 views have been recreated in the new version.
Add It
When you're ready to give the solution a try, simply click the "Try this solution" button at the top of the window. Within seconds, all these Targetprocess 2 views will be added and ready for use.
What's the next step?
Using this solution, it is much easier to get started with using Targetprocess 3. You can use the views exactly how they are out of the solution - one-to-one copies of your old views - and then leverage new Targetprocess 3 functionality, such as customizing the views, once you are comfortable with the Targetprocess 3 interface.
There's nothing to lose, but a whole world of new features and functionality to discover. So, why not give it a try today? We bet you'll be glad you did.

The Civil War Letters of John E. Richardson
February - December 1864
Red River Campaign,
Capture & Exchange
Following his capture at the Battle of Sabine Crossroads (Mansfield, La) during the Red River Campaign, Srofe was taken to the Confederate prison pen at Camp Ford in Tyler, Texas. Col. Job Parker of the 48th OVVI, who had assumed command of the brigade, communicated with William's brother, John, to let him know that William had survived the battle.

Dear Sir,
I am truly happy to inform you that your brother W. J. Shrofe of my Reg't is safe. He is a prisoner at Tyler Texas. He is an efficient & brave officer & I hope he may soon be returned to the service. I have heard from him by letter from my Maj: by flag of truce. Respectfully
Your Obt Servant
J. R. Parker
Col. 48th O.V.V.I.
Cmdg. Brig.
W. J. Srofe and Maj. John Bering spent a total of fourteen months in Camp Ford, being released only after the war had ended in May, 1865. The majority of the regiment had been released in October of 1864, however, because Bering and Srofe had attempted an escape, they were not paroled with the others at that time. Bering quotes from a tongue-in-cheek letter he recieved from Srofe not long after their release below:
"While writing the closing events at Camp Ford, a letter lies before me, from Lieut. W. J. Srofe, written at Galveston, Texas, Dec. 21st, 1865, in which he says:
'I saw Maj. Thos. D. Vredenburg,* of the 10th Ill. Cavalry, a short time ago. He had just arrived from Shreveport with his command, 'via, Camp Ford.' He made a halt at the stockade, and his bump of destructiveness was so great as to prompt him to leave it in ruins. Ah, my good fellow, it almost makes me shed tears to think of that master-piece of architecture, our old home, being thus ruthlessly destroyed by 'vandal hands.' When I think of the 'happy hours' spent beneath its roof, the 'delicious feasts' served up within its walls, and 'refreshing' slumbers upon its 'downy' beds, where we dreamed of pleasures, and the dear ones at home, it is too much to bear, and I think he deserves the censure of all the old residents of Camp Ford ! '
* An old Camp Ford Prisoner. "
John A. Bering & Thomas Montgomery, 1880

Depression cited as common cause among young
By Gina Maka'a
HONIARA, Solomon Islands (Solomon Times, Nov. 13, 2008) - Psychiatrist, Dr Paul Orotaloa of the Acute Mental Health Unit, said that suicide cases in the Solomon Islands have increased to levels not seen before.
Although the exact statistics were not available, Dr. Orotaloa says that "a very high number of most of these suicide, and attempted suicide cases, are among young people."
Orotaloa said that from what they could ascertain, it appears that most of these suicide cases occur either because of an argument or a misunderstanding, and others due to depression.
Orotaloa also encourages young people who suffer from depression to seek help. "One way of overcoming depression is by attending one of our awareness talks...or through a private consultation with an elder in the community or a church pastor."
According to research, suicide occurs in persons of all ages and backgrounds, but certain groups of people are at increased risk for suicide attempts. These include persons with a psychiatric illness and a past history of attempted suicide. Males are more likely than females to commit suicide, although attempts are more common among females.
Warning signs of suicide are varied. They may include:
Talk of, or preoccupation with, suicide or death; threatening suicide; writing about death or suicide
Orotaloa has advised that if you suspect suicidal thoughts in yourself or anyone, seek professional help immediately at the National Referral Hospital.

Broadband over Powere Lines
Please see this link for Broadband over Power Lines -- http://www.state.nj.us/rpa/BPLwhitepaper.pdf
This is a White Paper I wrote for NJ State. It also shows countries where Broadband over power lines is in place and the corresponding success rates.
The idea is to offer greater options to the users. Currently, where I live, I have only one option - Comcast Cable. It has virtual monopoly. I do not have Verizon in our area and Embarq's abilities are at best limited. Power lines are in every home. Every electric outlet would becomc smart and could deliver broadband.

Guides on the net suggest that you do not edit sendmail.cf by hand. First, make changes to sendmail.mc then rebuild sendmail.cf using the command: "m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf". However, this command sometimes fails and before you know it you have unknowingly made changes to sendmail.cf -- the file is now 0 bytes. The error message is below:
[[email protected] mail]# m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf sendmail.mc:10: m4: cannot open `/usr/share/sendmail-cf/m4/cf.m4': No such file or directory
Things are pretty simple if you look at the error.. but it is very deceiving. Take a look at your sendmail.cf.
Ooppss.. sendmail.cf is now zero bytes. You can rebuild sendmail.cf from sendmail.mc using m4, but you just executed the exact command to re-generate sendmail.cf ending in errors. Re-starting sendmail will make things worse. Sendmail will still work as it read sendmail.cf before the error. Restarting it will re-read the zeroed out sendmail.cf file.[[email protected] mail]# ls -la sendmail.cf -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 0 Feb 18 10:02 sendmail.cf
I got stuck in this error before. And a colleague got stuck in it just recently.
The guides either forgot to mention that or assumed that it is installed and you will need to have installed the sendmail-cf rpm. How do you know that sendmail-cf is the required rpm? Take a closer look at the first few lines of sendmail.mc.
[[email protected] mail]# head sendmail.mc divert(-1)dnl dnl # dnl # This is the sendmail macro config file for m4. If you make changes to dnl # /etc/mail/sendmail.mc, you will need to regenerate the dnl # /etc/mail/sendmail.cf file by confirming that the sendmail-cf package is dnl # installed and then performing a dnl # dnl # make -C /etc/mail dnl #
So what you can do now is install sendmail-cf rpm.
[[email protected] mail]# yum -y install sendmail-cf Loaded plugins: fastestmirror Loading mirror speeds from cached hostfile * base: mirror.web.com.ph * extras: mirror.web.com.ph * updates: mirror.web.com.ph Setting up Install Process Resolving Dependencies --> Running transaction check ---> Package sendmail-cf.x86_64 0:8.13.8-8.1.el5_7 set to be updated --> Finished Dependency Resolution Dependencies Resolved ================================================================================ Package Arch Version Repository Size ================================================================================ Installing: sendmail-cf x86_64 8.13.8-8.1.el5_7 updates 306 k Transaction Summary ================================================================================ Install 1 Package(s) Upgrade 0 Package(s) Total download size: 306 k Downloading Packages: sendmail-cf-8.13.8-8.1.el5_7.x86_64.rpm | 306 kB 00:00 Running rpm_check_debug Running Transaction Test Finished Transaction Test Transaction Test Succeeded Running Transaction Installing : sendmail-cf 1/1 Installed: sendmail-cf.x86_64 0:8.13.8-8.1.el5_7 Complete!
Now re-run "m4 sendmail.mc > sendmail.cf" and it will be error free. You can safely make changes to sendmail.mc and generate sendmail.cf from that.

'The New King of Comedy': A remake that shouldn't have been made
A remake of a 1999 Stephen Chow classic, The New King of Comedy has hijinks galore and even some humor, but flops when it comes to creativity and charm.
The announcement of The New King of Comedy 新喜剧之王 last November was a surprise for many Stephen Chow 周星驰 fans. It was filmed in only a couple of months, finishing production just in time for a Chinese New Year release. The original 1999 film, King of Comedy, 喜剧之王is one of Chow's most beloved movies, with an 8.7 out of 10 user rating on Douban. In that version, Chow played a movie extra trying to make it big in Hong Kong, all the while teaching a rude club girl how to act nice and innocent to her clients. It's a silly, offbeat comedy, and while there are plenty of non sequiturs and crude jokes, the story has a heart to it, too.
As a remake, The New King of Comedy follows the same basic formula, but with some notable differences. Relocating the action to mainland China, the new underdog of the title is a 30-year-old woman named Dreamy, played by actress E Jingwen 鄂靖文. Dreamy has spent more than a decade pursuing her dream to become a star, but despite her determination and hard work, she is stuck playing background extras. Her naivety, and her tendency to overact, don't help much in her favor.
Dreamy's parents try to be supportive, but her lack of success has strained her dad's patience. He thinks that Dreamy should have been a lawyer, not a movie extra. When Dreamy shows up to his birthday dinner dressed as a corpse, complete with a hatchet sticking out of her head, her dad threatens to add another one. Dreamy's boyfriend Charlie believes in her, but struggles with his own plan to become the next Bill Gates. For some reason, he's constantly needing more money for his startup, and Dreamy is all too glad to let him skimp money out of their wedding fund.
On Charlie's suggestion, Dreamy decides to try out for the lead role in a family-centered Snow White action flick. To get a more "Western" look, Dreamy goes to a plastic surgeon who gives her a freakishly large chin. At the audition, Dreamy ends up being miscast as a stunt double. Washed-up child star Marco (played by actor Wang Baoqiang 王宝强) is the lead of the movie, playing a Snow White who's become a man after eating a poisonous banana. Marco was the actor who inspired Dreamy to take up acting in the first place, yet seeing him on set, Dreamy becomes a victim of his many annoying tantrums.
Eventually, the director of the movie becomes tired of Marco's sloppy acting. To get footage of a more authentic reaction from his star, the director dresses Dreamy up as a vengeful ghost and sets her loose on Marco. The results are perfect, but also extremely embarrassing. Marco is furious, and when he erupts in another outburst, the director sacks him from the production. Feeling down, Dreamy leaves the set only to suffer further humiliation that night.
In contrast to the original, The New King of Comedy is more serious and dramatic. The humor isn't nearly as crude or dark, although Dreamy is almost as much a punching bag as an aspiring actress. There are some throwbacks to the 1999 version, but Chow and co-director Herman Yau 邱礼涛 keep the references to a minimum. They could easily have done a lazy remake, shamelessly ripping off the original's best gags, but the new version attempts to be fresh. Unfortunately, this more recent take never makes the case of why the original needed to be retold.
None of the characters, for example, are as charming as the first movie's cast. Dreamy is a heroine we can root for, but Marco never comes across as likeable or understandable. When his life hits rock bottom, it's hard to feel any sympathy for a man who we've watched scream and whine most of the time he's been on-screen. Dreamy's parents, roommate, and boyfriend all have their own quirks, but they're never as interesting as the people we met in King of Comedy, which included teenage gangsters, a wacky community center, and a delightfully misanthropic lunchbox caterer.
Perhaps the movie might have been able to make up for its shallow cast and bland plot with some strong jokes and set pieces, but it doesn't succeed much in those departments either. There are, of course, some great lines and moments. Dreamy's discovery of what her boyfriend really does for a living is hilarious, and her dad's disastrous birthday dinner had me laughing hard. Other times, such as an opening scene in which Dreamy mistakes a dying man for an actor, suffer from poor execution and timing.
Standing on its own, The New King of Comedy is merely a competent comedy-drama. There are jokes and feel-good moments and family values, but nothing that makes it any more special than your run-of-the-mill New Year movie. In comparison to its source material, The New King of Comedy is only a disappointment. It has none of the creativity, humor, or charm of King of Comedy, making it a pointless remake that fails to reinvent or expand on the original.

"Every woman looks beautiful, regardless of her generation." The trick is to only use soft fluffy brushes to really blend in the eyeshadow (in this case, three different MAC eyeshadow shades: Wedge, Espresso and Cork) to add depth. As for the hair, stylist Luke Hersheson alternated between two simple styles with a little help from L'Oreal Professionnel's tecni.art PLI, which was applied to roots to flatten and smooth hair. The first look, a Brigitte Bardot headscarf-covered up-do and the second, a perfect ballet bun offset with a leather band around the base. Slightly Fifties, extremely elegant.

In typical Pats fashion, the focus in pressers this week has been on the next opponent (the organization is on to Tennessee, if you will). As it should. The Pats have all the pieces in place for another Super Bowl run and are the favorites to do so in the shallow AFC, but cracks are showing — on the defensive line, in the receiving corps, and even under center.

Let it rain, let it pour, 'cause I think he knows just what it's rainin' for!
There's no doubt about this kind of thing when it comes to me.
You've read way too many of my ramblings over the years about me and rain and thunder and all that.
Yet somehow these days I love it even more than I ever did before. It seems like all I ever want is to be in the rain. Just recently I forgot my umbrella as I went to work. On the walk from the train to the office, I took off my top shirt and walked tank-topped from there with the rain on my shoulders on a lovely summer morning. Yes, I was wearing the cutest rainhat ever. And yes, that morning started my day off right.
Now, if I could be in the rain and with you doing the show at the same time…well…I don't know if I could stand it.
Maybe we can listen to this archive while walking in the rain. I'll take what I can get.
