Talk to the Geometra. The likely reason against you living in your house is that it is still classified as a building site and for Health and Safety Rules you cannot live there, but there are ways around it - legal ones and non-legal ones. The person responsible for the Health and Safety is the one to speak to- most likely your geometra.

instead of selling the house, it simply changes the company that carries out the work, your surveyor has, for sure, made the company sign a contract, with the dates of beginning and end of work, if the company does not respect the terms, you have right to claim damages.

In reply to instead of selling the house, by Ugo
Story is. Our friend and neighbor in Italy highly recommend architect and workers. We trust her opinion. We didn't know nobody at that time and we existed to move in the Italian house as soon as possible. We sign document and give permission to architect get permits to restore villa. After 3 months workers start work in January, 2019. We ask architect for documents and drawings and she never give it to us any documents. And we payed her a lot. From the beginning workers work couple days a week, after when we complain workers start work every day, but not for long time. Architect send us always new bill.. we cannot understand why we need to hire ingenier, geometra and Sicurezza of lavora. We hired plumber and electrician in the beginning of March, 2019. We still don't have at least one working toilet. Our workers took 2 weeks vacation and I warned them... my rent expires in the end of May and kitchen is ready and must be install in the beginning of May. I start complain to architect why they took vacation when we need finish downstairs and install kitchen. She answered..., workers was planned vacation and it's why they are on vacation. Why they didn't hire somebody to finish downstairs? . Why nobody told us that workers will have vacation? Finally I got drawings. We doesn't have any contract with workers. We should sign contract, but we didn't. We trust everybody. I talk to some professionals and they told me:1. Change lock on the house2. Hire commercialista and check how lawful all bills and contract 3. After hire lawyer to fire architect and workers ( because they can take us to court because we took they are jobs) If it's correct staytment?
it is correct to stay at homeSubmitted by Ugo on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 12:28
it is correct to stay at home ? - probably yes, but obviously if you don't have a toilet, doors, windows ... besides the lack of the most elementary hygienic rules, you also risk finding someone at home, at any time of day or night. At least, have you checked that this "architect" is really an architect ? , because from how you describe his way of working - without a contractor, a contract for work, a company charged with certain work delivery dates, and above all the fact that he practically forced you to hire a surveyor, comes to think that IT IS NOT. An architect does not need a surveyor to do his job, in case it is the opposite.In which Region, near which city, Italian is the house located?

It would be right to ask theSubmitted by Ugo on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 12:57
It would be right to ask the Architect to have the firm that is carrying out the work sign a firm date, for the delivery of the finished house, with perhaps a penalty to be paid, if the date is not respected.For, in any case, if the renovation of the house involves the renovation of the electrical, hydraulic and thermal systems, and if they really started working from January, one / two days a week, by the standards of Italian restoration companies, in a area of difficult accessibility as Rapallo, it is unthinkable to hope to have the house finished in 4/5 months.

You suggesting stay with the same architect and contractors, than hire other contractors with who I can communicate easy and who can do a better job? My architect and contractors ignore me, lying to me and do lousy job right now... do you think if we sign contract with dates...will be change something? They have other projects to finish also. I really don't know what to do.
Well, this can only beSubmitted by Ugo on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 13:35
Well, this can only be decided by you, the fact remains that, according to Italian law, if your architect does not agree to transfer the building permit obtained by him, with his signature, without asking for payment for lost earnings, that the license would have given him, to another surveyor or architect. You cannot object and the new technician will have to submit a new building permit request with the costs and times you already know.
How about contractors? Can ISubmitted by Mariannabab on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 13:40
In reply to Well, this can only be by Ugo
The architect cannot forceSubmitted by Ugo on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 13:56
The architect cannot force you to choose a particular contractor. As a rule, the construction manager (architect) prepares a metric calculation, and submits it to 2/3 companies, which will make their offer, downwards, on the calculation of the construction manager, and the choice of the company, is made by owner of the house, supported by the construction manager who advises, based on his experience, the best of the companies / offers received. - It is also the use, that between the company and the owner of the house, a contract is stipulated (called CAPITOLATO) where the materials to be used are clearly defined, the quality of the works to be carried out, the times to be respected and the penalties that they must be paid: by the company if it does not deliver the work within the time established, or, by the owner of the house, if he does not make payments to the company, within the agreed time.
Thank you for your help.Submitted by Mariannabab on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 15:15
Thank you for your help. Really appreciate. You know soo much. Do I need let architect know I want fire old contractors and hire another? I try make appointment with architect and interpreter, but architect want meet together with our neighbor. I can't understand why? We have capitolato, we didn't sign, it's no date of start and finish, it's no materials, no quality of work, no penalty.... nothing... just prices for work and his stamp. We never had a choice of different contractors and architect also charge us 4% of what contractors make + we payed a lot for permits.
Paying for permits is normal,Submitted by Ugo on Sat, 05/04/2019 - 15:59
Paying for permits is normal, payments are made on modules called F24 - it is enough to go with the modules, to the municipality, to check if all payments have been made for figures requested by the municipality.If you do not speak Italian, it is good that you get an interpreter, if you do not know any, go to the notary with whom you signed the deed of purchase for sure in bilingual form, and get the address of his translator / interpreter confidence .If the architect wants to meet you with the presence of the neighbor, there is a good chance that there is some agreement between the two, or maybe, simply, he is convinced that the neighbor manages to convince you, to leave the works to him (I would not like to think that someone thinks bad things, but it is also probable that the company pays a percentage on the work done, to the architect, by way of ... <thanks for having provided him with the job>)If you bought the house as a "first home", 4% is probably VAT on the firm's materials and invoices MORE > at the meeting between you, the neighbor and the architect, it would be good to have a fourth person present, who understands both English and Italian well - perhaps a surveyor, whom the architect does not know -This person must, look like a friend of yours, speak the possible mono! If he is a surveyor, who therefore understands all the terms the architect speaks of - he will then be an excellent witness! (to be used if you do not reach an agreement and are forced to go to court)

Members of the state House from both parties are trying to make it easier for people with old and minor criminal offenses to get their records wiped clean. Representative Pauline Wendzel of Watervliet spoke at a press conference in Kalamazoo on Monday where the expungement bills were introduced and talked about her bill in the package focused on traffic offenses.
"DUIs, OWIs, and offenses that cause serious injury are not eligible," said Wendzel. "But, a lot of other things are."
Afterward, Wendzel spoke to us about the package, and said it's all part of ongoing efforts by lawmakers to reform the state's "broken criminal justice system."
"It's going to help keep people out of jail as well," Wendzel tells us. "We all know one of the things that can help keep people out of jail is (having) a good job."
Violent crimes and crimes where someone was hurt would not be eligible to be wiped clean from one's criminal record. Wendzel says too many employers are facing shortages of workers, and far too often, applications and resumes of people who have minor offenses in their past get tossed in the trash.

SALEM, Va. — The Southern Virginia University women's volleyball team traveled to Roanoke College Friday night for a non-conference matchup, losing 3-1.
In the first set, the Knights (10-5, 1-1) did not lead once. The Maroons (12-6, 5-2) attacks with a mixture of Southern Virginia mishaps seemed to have a tremendous impact on the outcome of the first set, with the Knights losing the set, 25-17.
The following set was based on several key runs by both teams. The Knights started set two with their first lead in the game, with its biggest lead at 11-7. The Maroons quickly responded scoring six straight points, bringing the game to 13-11. The set continued to go back and forth until late in the set when Roanoke was able to pull away taking the set, 26-24.
The Knights found itself down 2-0 heading into the third and possibly final set but did not surrender. The Marrons quickly took the lead looking for the sweep up 10-4, when the Knights scored on eight of the next ten points to tie the third set at 12-12. The Maroons went on one more run earning a 21-19 run but the Knights were resilient, winning the set six of the last eight points of the set 25-23.
The Maroons outlasted the Knights 27-25 in the fourth set in a thriller, with the Southern Virginia battling back from down five to tying the game up at 25 all. The Maroons quickly earned two consecutive kills to end the game.
The Knights statistical leaders were, kills and digs by Hailey Lohnes 15 and 19, assists LaRee Crockett 33, service aces Mykynli Knight four, and total blocks Ella Burrows with eight.
Southern Virginia will make the quick trek home to host a conference game Saturday, Oct. 6, at 1:00 p.m. against Penn State-Harrisburg in the Knight Arena.

Hey, this problem annoys me a lot. Whenever am in Word, or Excel, and I have to use the left arrow key, I press it. But then the cursor on the screen moves right. And if I press right, it moves to the left. I have so far faced this problem only in MS Office products. If I use it elsewhere, it's perfectly fine. Like, right arrow key moving the cursor or whatever to right. But in Office 2013, it's quite different.
And I have tried a few settings here and there, but no change.
Help? Thanks. :)
Turn your Scroll Lock key (probably at the top of your key board)
OFF, that should correct the problem.

The State of Connecticut has become convinced by a recent article in an aviation magazine that the first person to fly an airplane was not Wilbur Wright assisted by Orville Wright in North Carolina in 1903, but one built and flown two years earlier by Gustave Whitehead, a German-born American immigrant living in Bridgeport, Connecticut. They say that his aircraft, "plane 21," with him in it, rose up to 50 feet and flew more than a mile over Bridgeport and nearby Fairfield just before dawn on August 14, 1901.
Unlike at Kitty Hawk, no clear photographs were made of Whitehead's famous flight. And it is true that the propellers Whitehead used were more primitive than the ones used by the Wright brothers two years later. Also, the engines were not as powerful.
The State's claims rest on the article titled "Justice Delayed is Justice Denied," written by Paul Jackson in the highly respected Jane's All the World's Aircraft magazine in 2013 making the case for the claim. Paul Jackson is the editor of that magazine.
Editor Jackson says the government effort at digitalizing many old community newspapers back in the 1990s has uncovered many accounts never found before of Whitehead's flight on that day, much of it as front-page news in small newspapers around the country. Whitehead's plane 21 had curved bat wings that unfurled from the fuselage before each flight, had a fuselage in the shape of a rowboat and had three engines. One powered the front wheels to accelerate the plane along the ground, the other two powered each of the two propellers attached to the wings. With the pulling of a lever on board, Whitehead could transfer the power from the wheels to the propellers.
The earliest of these accounts was written by the editor of the Bridgeport Sunday Tribune newspaper for the edition that came out four days after the event. The editor was an invited guest at that flight, as were several other people.
Other newspaper reports have Whitehead flying a circular course over Long Island Sound between Bridgeport and Charles Island in January 1902, in full view of witnesses, even maneuvering into turns, something the Wrights did not do over Kitty Hawk, North Carolina in 1903. There were later numerous accounts by these witnesses, recorded on tape, film or video.
As a result of these findings in 2013, Governor Dannel Malloy signed a measure that changes the state holiday "Powered Flight Day" so it honors Whitehead rather than the Wright Brothers. And this spring, the legislature is now discussing a bill to change "Powered Flight Day" to August 14 and to name Gustave Whitehead's aircraft "America's First Aircraft."
There continue to be claims that the Wright Brothers, not Whitehead were the first to fly an aircraft. But in Ohio, the home of the Wright Brothers, it turns out that the surviving Wright brother donated the precious aircraft that supposedly made that "first" flight to the Smithsonian Museum for a dollar in 1948 on the condition that the Smithsonian never attribute the first flight to any fliers whose efforts came before theirs.
There are also others, including experts, who dispute the Whitehead claim. It's often pointed out that the only known photo of the August 14 plane in flight is, because of the hour it took place, very fuzzy and the only other photographs of Whitehead's aircraft flying with him in it 50 feet in the air is one where the aircraft is being towed into the wind by someone on the ground, so that doesn't count. There is also a famous picture with Whitehead sitting on the ground with his daughter on his lap next to Plane 22, but that is not plane 21. It is also true, however, that several years ago, a Connecticut high school teacher had a group build a replica of the plane, which they successfully flew.
The coastline of Connecticut is quite visible from eastern Long Island. Whitehead's aircraft could have been seen flying from here, if it did. Is there anyone who has been told by grandparents or great grandparents looking out at the Connecticut coastline in 1901 and seeing that first airplane in flight? Perhaps an old photograph is in someone's attic? If so, it would be very helpful to Connecticut's claim.
If you have such an account or photograph, please send it to me at [email protected]. You can also share photos in our Dan's Pics section here. Thanks.

Lower levy fines for overshoot
Lower levy fines for overshoot
MILK producers face a lower total super-levy bill for over-production last milk year than was initially feared.
The Intervention Board has provisionally fixed the fine at £13.6m in respect of 50m litres above quota, equivalent to 27.24p/litre.
Previously the IB had estimated the levy at £16.5m for a 60m litre overshoot. But that was before it had information on the amount of direct sales quota that was temporarily transferred into wholesale.
The IB has also confirmed a direct sellers levy of £1.1m in respect of 4m litres over-production – equivalent to 8.21p/litre.
All fines must be paid by Aug 29, otherwise interest will be charged on outstanding dues. (Last year, super-levy came to £44m for wholesale supplies and £5m for direct sellers.)n

Author Talk with Michelle Dalton
Hi! To start off, please tell us your name, where you're from, and what you write.
Michelle Dalton – an expat South African now living in north Brisbane these last 9 years 😉 I write Contemporary Romance and Women's fiction as well as Romantic Steampunk (as MC D'Alton).
How did you become an author? Please share a bit of your journey with us.
I wrote short silly stories as a kid and have always dabbled in writing something. Around six maybe seven years ago I decided it was time to get serious about putting the stories in my head on paper. I combed the internet for classes and writers groups. Eventually I joined this awesome online community called The Write Practice. Here with the support of many other emerging writers I learned what it meant to be a writer, how to bring my story to life, and honed my craft. Then I befriended some local writers one in particular – Melanie Page who is my partner in Romantic steampunk writing. We're due to have our first book in a series of four published with Vulpine press in January 2020. Sarah Williams from Serenade Publishing is another amazing author and business woman. She and her publishing company have published my first and second novels – Epona & Simple Truths.
It's been a hard road to this point and there are still times want to through in the towel but I couldn't imagine a life where I don't write. I learned very quickly who I could and could not trust in this industry, as well as getting badly burned by people who I thought were on the front line of uplifting writers of all levels. But here I am, at last, and I still have a ways to go. Nothing in life comes without dedication, commitment and a lot of tenacity.
What are you working on now? Do you have a recent or upcoming release?So my current WIP is the second book of three in the Highlands series and follows Epona. I am also editing the second book of the Lost & Found series called Forget Me Not and editing Iron Fist which is the second book in the Iron Universe series. And as all of this is going on Mel and I are discussing co-writing another series together, (not sure what it is yet – but watch this space).
What is the most challenging part of writing romance?
For me? The sex scenes. I love reading them but really hate writing them. I never want it to read like a crude sex novel or use harsh words which could cheapen the scene. Also the 'is it possible?' gets me a bit. I do it, but dang nabbit, it's a serious challenge 😉
What kind of research do you do when you set out to write a new book?Depends on where my story takes place, if there accents and colloquialisms involved, any iconic areas I need to know of? In my current WIP I needed to research Police Scotland, the times the sunsets in spring in the Highlands and so on. So it could be anything from a dog breed to a recipe. I don't do research beforehand though – I'm a kinda learn on the run type of girl 😉
Please share one piece of advice to aspiring authors - what do you wish someone would have told you? Or, what did someone tell you that you'd like to pass on to others?
I was told to 'Never give up. Never give in.' and be careful who you trust your work and your hard earned money to!
What do you love the most about the month of November?
It's summer, it's hot and sticky, and it's almost Christmas 😊
Any last words before we go into the speed round?
I am a staunch supporter of our farmers and an activist against the raging violence killing my people in South Africa. I portray much of it in my work. I am a nurse and a mother of triplet teenage boys (Yes, my place in heaven is booked!) as well as a bloody awesome wife! I have few friends, but those I do have, I keep close to my heart. I don't suffer fools and absolutely do not tolerate betrayal. Oh yes, I love telling stories! 😊

Simple Truths
Having worked in Doctors without Borders, Rochelle Le Roux has seen the best and the worst of humankind and now she just wants to live a quiet life in South Africa. But when her path crosses that of the only man she's ever loved she is forced to consider that maybe fate has brought her back for a reason.
South Africa is a country in strife. But corrupt governments are only one of the many problems plaguing this dynamic rainbow nation. A ring of human traffickers is stealing children and smuggling them into North Africa. The ring leader, a prominent figure in the local Cape Malay community, is a man with everything to lose and even more to gain.
Lieutenant Thomas Campbell has dedicated his life to protecting his country and serving the South African Navy. But he will never forget that stolen kiss beneath the stars and a heartbroken beauty which has haunted his life for sixteen years.
But in a country fraught with danger, adversity, and cultural differences, can Thomas and Rochelle cross the divides and overcome the simple truths to find their forever love?
More About Michelle
Originally from Pretoria, South Africa, Michelle Dalton and her family fled the rising violence taking over her beloved country and now lives near Brisbane, Australia with her husband and triplet sons. While also juggling a nursing career and teenage sons, she loves to escape into her fictional world. Michelle has a deep love of horses and enjoys weaving them into dramatic stories with honourable men and strong women. Her other hobbies are gardening (usually trying to save her precious herbs and bulbs from an overactive miniature Jack Russell), painting, and reading. She's also a huge Star Trek and Marvel Comics fan, and as of recently a wee fan of DC too.

The Oxford English Dictionary defines "cosmos" as "the world or universe as an ordered and harmonious system," from the Greek, "kosmos," referring to an ordered and/or ornamental thing. Though Pythagoras is credited with first using this term to describe the Universe, probably since he is also the one most commonly cited for ideas of harmony and the Musica Mundana, cosmos is generally a contrast to "chaos"—"the first state of the universe." In explaining the theology and cosmology of Paradise Lost, Milton writes, "the heavens and earth/ Rose out of Chaos," describing the move from the formless mass to the ordered whole. (I:9-10) As much as this delineates the structure of the world, however, its culmination seems to appear in the Spirit, as Milton has conceived it—the free, reasoning, integrated Consciousness. Though many have found a hero in the English epic from its dramatis personae—from Adam to Satan to God/Son himself—the most encompassing heroism seems that of Milton himself, as a manifestation of this most supreme of creations: the wholesome mind.
An instance in which Milton's views on the sovereignty of the Spirit appear in some of the conversations of the Arch Fiend himself with his fellows—which is quite ironic, considering that the story is an extrapolation upon Christian Scripture. One of Satan's "compeers" says, during a discussion after their exile from Heaven:
The invincibility of "the mind and spirit" is something which even the foes of God understand. Though the fallen angels corrupt their "heavenly Essences" with disobedience and revolt, they still have a keen understanding of the powers of perception, of personal reaction to one's environment—"for neither do the Spirits damned/ Lose all their virtue" (2:482-483). Satan boldly speaks to his fellows, asking
Like a true hero, Satan refers to conquest and courage, a response to the tyranny he and his cohorts have received from the hand of God. It is this attitude—of adventurous righteousness—which many cite as sufficient to show the fallen Archangel to be the hero of the work. However, working within the confines of the Biblical account, Milton could not reasonably—even if he wished—display Satan as the outright protagonist and epic hero. Therefore, it can only be his qualities of trust in the Spirit, in his own Consciousness as a fortress against the harms surrounding him, that can represent the truly heroic aspect.
Satan is a deeply solipsistic character, well aware of the world and his situation in it. Though he becomes quite fatalistic at times and denies possibilities of recovery from his downfall, essentially, he knows that the loss of Heaven as a place is always permanent:
Whatever the reason for their revolt, when Satan and his armies are defeated by the Son, they lose their aspiration, revert to the disintegrated empty air from which they were made: "Exhausted, spiritless, afflicted, fallen" (6:852). In contrast, though Adam and Eve also fall like the Archangel, the difference between Satan and Man is their different choices in the application of their autonomy and spiritual sovereignty, especially after acting against God. Milton explains in his argument for Book X:
The dividing line between Man and Satan is demonstrated in Milton's summary with his juxtaposition of the proposal of "violent wayes" with "better hope . . . in mind of the late Promise made them." Instead of desperate, destructive means, like Satan and his minions, Adam and Eve are thus able to remain hopeful and humble.
Adam even compares himself to the fallen Archangel, calling himself "miserable/ Beyond all past example and future;/ To Satan only like both crime and doom" (X:820-822). However, the pivotal difference comes later, when the actual consideration of possible choices—freedom—relents to create in Man hope, as opposed to Satan, who remains in "desperate revenge." An important concept here is that of Predestination, with which Milton himself vehemently disagreed, a strong proponent of free will and its acknowledgment. One of the devils in Pandemonium, Belial, describes Satan's justifications for rebellion: "we are decreed,/ Reserved, and destined to eternal woe" (II:160-161). But God charges this notion with sophistry, saying that
Satan later becomes conscious of his freedom, cursing himself who "Chose freely what [he] now so justly rues," but he cannot take this further to repentance and pardon, for which "there [is] no place/ Left . . .but by submission" (X:70, 79-81). This he cannot embrace because of his "disdain [for God] and dread of shame/ Among the Spirits beneath" (X:82-83). All of this is due to the utter perplexity and discord of Satan's situation; Belial sums this up in a bitter paradox: "our final hope/ Is flat despair" (II:142-143).
The difference between Satan and Man emerges in the unfolding of the plot. Instead of taking Satan's view of utter despair and want of death and eternal unconsciousness, Adam and Eve decide to take a submissive place in God's plan. Diametrically opposed to Satan's vengeful schemes to seek war of "the offended Deity," Man seeks Peace—submitting to the Almighty because he is almighty, hoping for "The Spirit of God, promised alike and given/ To all believers" (XII:519-520). Repentance and supplication are things which Satan—in his desperation—could never accomplish. Though the Arch Fiend was strong of Spirit, it was crushed in his attempts to act against Divine Will, destroyed by the "Spirit and Might" given to the Son by God himself.
Whether or not we take a "side" in determining the true victor(s)—Satan and his army in their spiritual "martyrdom" or Adam & Eve in their submission or the Son in his military conquest—Milton's insistence on the inner state as the final determinant of one's position is apparent throughout. Though Satan loses the battle, he is inwardly convinced of his own inability to do otherwise in the face of such extreme circumstances as his. Additionally, though Adam & Eve know that Paradise is lost as a place, their hope is to reach it as a state of mind, to reside there in Spirit. And the Son—though obviously the champion of the battle—was decreed to be victorious by the Almighty, and did not necessarily experience the sort of spiritual change or adventure like the other characters.
This ambiguity by Milton—of not making the hero of his work apparent—is too pervasive to have been unintentional. Rather, it seems that Milton wishes to share his own "heroism" in composing such an epic to his culture—both English and Christian—by taking the reader on a trip through the Consciousness of each of his constructed characters, exploring the different facets of freedom and responsibility. In fact, in his role as narrator, Milton says to the Son:
Milton describes his allegorical trek through the heavens and the earth—an "obscure sojourn" quite similar to that of Aeneas or Odysseus or Achilles. Though he is blinded physically, Milton explains—as narrator—that he, like other blind prophets, is granted other boons to recompense for his loss:
Though many arguments and counter-arguments can be made as to who of the figures in Paradise Lost is its hero, as a whole, it is the Spirit, the inward wholesomeness, intellectual autonomy, and strength of character of the individual which appears as the most wide-ranging "epic virtue" in the work, displayed by many of the characters. Essentially, in this piece, Milton takes the entire concept of an epic and transforms it into an engaging experience, one which is not at all an attempt at flattery and sycophantic pandering to his own culture and beliefs, but rather, one which takes the reader's own Spirit to task. Centuries before Milton, Thomas Aquinas wrote in his Summa Theologica: "In the very gift of sanctifying grace, it is the Holy Spirit whom one possesses, and who dwells in man." Milton's epic awakens anyone who participates in this mental voyage from whatever depths of gloom he may reside, transforming the shapeless darkness therein into the integrated Consciousness, the illuminated Spirit, which formed the Son, but lives in us all:

Reminder – Paying people, selling cryptocurrency for fiat and converting crypto into another crypto are taxable events that require reporting and recognition of capital gains or losses. Cryptocurrency is treated as property for tax purposes and general property treatment is applicable in determining the tax implications. Do your planning before the end of the year to figure out where you stand and if you might have a potential tax liability. On more complicated matters involving cryptocurrency, consult a tax professional.
At a glance – the entire cryptocurrency market is down around 90% from its all-time highs seen in the early 2018.Take advantage of the losses, which are used to offset capital gains and up to $3,000 of ordinary income if applicable. If your 2018 capital losses exceed your capital gains even after the $3,000 ordinary income deduction, you will have a carryover loss that can be used to offset gains in future years. Crypto losses can be used to offset capital gains from other sources as well. Remember that Long Term Capital Losses can offset Short Term Capital Gains and vice versa.
The wash sale rule doesn't apply to cryptocurrency. However, there might be an issue of "lack of economic substance" when you decide to recognize a loss by converting or selling your crypto for tax purposes and buying it right back. So allow reasonable time before converting/buying back into the desired tokens or cryptocurrencies. It even makes sense to wait 30 days, as the wash sale rule places a 30-day time limit on repurchasing back the security sold at a loss. Even though there is no official language of cryptocurrency being a security, cryptocurrencies do have security-like liquidity and volume of trading, so in the eyes of IRS the wash sale rule may be extended to include cryptocurrency transactions.
The challenge at the end of the year is to compute gains or losses if you had hundreds of transactions on various exchanges. The IRS Notice 2014-21 states that every single transaction mentioned in "Reminder" paragraph above requires reporting and recognition of capital gains and losses. But practically, it is unreasonable to spend days on picking out each transaction on every single exchange when we are talking about hundreds of transactions. It is more reasonable to compare the beginning and ending balances on each exchange used and realize a gain or loss at the end of the year by converting the whole account into another type of crypto and then back into your desired crypto (be mindful of the wash sale rules).
Example – you deposit 1 BTC (purchased for $1,000 on January 1st, 2017) on Bittrex on January 5th, 2018, when bitcoin is at $17,000. You trade with this account for the entire year, and now, let's say your account is worth 1.5 BTC at a current rate of $3,000. Let's digest what happened on the tax side:
- January 5th, 2018 – If you started trading other tokens with the entire 1 BTC as soon as you deposited it – it's safe to assume that you've made a $16,000 long term capital gain. ($17,000 – $1,000 basis, held over 1 year).
- December 31, 2018 – by this time you've been trading back and forth, resulting in hundreds of transactions in your Bittrex account. Your account is worth 1.5 BTC at $3,000. To simplify reporting – recognize a loss by converting all your tokens and cryptos within this account into any one crypto, say BTC. This way, at the end of the year you have a $14,000 Short Term Capital Loss ($17,000 basis – $3,000 BTC value).
- Your net gain for the year is: $16,000 Long Term Capital Gain – $14,000 Short Term Capital Loss = $2,000 Long Term Capital Gain.
This technique is called loss harvesting and it's very useful in crypto trading, especially during bear market.
If you have been hodling cryptocurrency for years and even the current prices are above the levels at which you bought in, consider doing the same conversion, but only to recognize a capital gain and step up your basis in crypto (We all hope that crypto will eventually go back up, so when you sell for higher prices in the future, your basis will be higher which will result in lower taxes on capital gains). This is only advantageous if you qualify for the 0% capital gains rate. For singles this rate tops out at $38,600 ($77,200 MFJ) Taxable Income. Basically if you earn $20,000 of taxable income in 2018, you can potentially realize $18,600 of Long Term capital gains that qualify for the 0% tax rate. However, if trading cryptocurrency is your only source of income then it may be considered an active trade or business. Capital gains generated from day-to-day trading of cryptocurrencies will be taxed at a taxpayer's ordinary income rates and the 0% Long Term Capital Gains rate will not be applicable.
Start planning now and don't wait until the last minute.

There is no need for young girls to fight to enter marriage, Anita Desoso, National Vice Chair of the main opposition National Democratic Congress (NDC), has said.
According to her, young women must prove with preparations that they are ready to enter into marriage.
She told Chief Jerry Forson on Ghana Yensom on Accra100.5FM on Thursday, 8 March on the occasion of International Women's Day that: "Let's sit down and ponder this celebration.
"To the young women, don't fight for marriage, but rather prove that you can marry. Ask yourselves whether you are prepared mentally, physically and emotionally for marriage. Let us prove to the men that we can do it not to fight for it."
This year's celebration is under the theme: "Press for Progress".
The day has been set aside to recognise the achievements of women without regard to national, ethnic, linguistic, cultural, economic or political divisions.
The first observance of a Women's Day was held on 28 February 1909 in New York.
March 8 was suggested by the 1910 International Woman's Conference to become an International Woman's Day.
After women gained suffrage in Soviet Russia in 1917, March 8 became a national holiday there. The day was then predominantly celebrated by the socialist movement and communist countries until it was adopted in 1975 by the United Nations.
The Charter of the United Nations, signed in 1945, was the first international agreement to affirm the principle of equality between women and men. Since then, the UN has helped create a historic legacy of internationally-agreed strategies, standards, programmes and goals to advance the status of women worldwide.
Over the years, the UN and its technical agencies have promoted the participation of women as equal partners with men in achieving sustainable development, peace, security, and full respect for human rights.

As for the previous post, Tim is one of my best friends. He lives in Philly, works in NYC 2 days a week at East of Eights bartending. he worked at Lafittes around '92-94. A great artist. I trust his aesthetics more than anyone I know. Can't find a pic. Good-looking Irish dude in his late 40's now. His buddy Stewart lived in the Chelsea Hotel for a while. Here is a piece of his. There are 2 or 3 more on my website in my 'Art' page. …We met here in NOLA but both moved to NYC. I mentioned his joke about picking the grapes and sowing the grass as a drag show trick.

text: Link Buffering for MANETs A number of MANET routing protocols employ the ability to temporarily buffer undeliverable IP datagrams until a route to a destination becomes available. This is indeed the case for reactive protocols, which largely are based on the ability to store an undeliverable IP datagram while a route discovery operation is carried out. Current specifications of proactive routing-protocols do, however, also indiate that they may benefit from such a mechanism: while a local link breakage may imply that a selected route to a given destination breaks, buffering an undeliverable IP datagram may allow a local topology discovery mechanism to select an alternative route. This document describes a generic mechanism for buffering IP datagrams in MANETs. The mechanism is based on the idea that while a local link may make a route to a destination fail, it does not imply that an alternative route to that destination is not available. Hence, IP datagrams for transmission along that route are buffered to allow the routing protocol time to construct an alternative route. The IP datagram is discarded only if the routing protocol hasnâ"Ŕ"Ůt been able to provide an alternative route within a determined small delay. We note, that this specification does not mandate a required behavior for MANET routing protocols. Rather, since the mechanisms currently employed in the four existing MANET routing protocol specification are similar in what they try to accomplish, it is the goal of this specification to generalize and expand on these mechanisms, thereby provide a framework for (i) discussing and refining the mechanism in isolation and (ii) providing a common element, which may be usefull for multiple MANET routing protocols.

How many Gs make the pilot black out in-game?
I/JG27_Nemesis replied to Rattlesnake's topic in General Discussionto be honest, I've never ever had a serious black out yet...maybe due to the concrete elevator of the 109 in a dive...

I/JG27_Nemesis replied to Han's topic in General DiscussionWhy does the K-4 only reach 715 km/h instead of 728km/h (452mph)?
good point. just pick a side and then see briefing. makes more sense.
Thread to gather your suggestions
I/JG27_Nemesis replied to BlackSix's topic in SuggestionsType of improvement: gameplay: COOP / Lobby environment Explanation of proposals: add a Lobby type Base Environment where you can gather and chat without being on a server or mission (or simply add Hyperlobby support!) Benefits: COOP Missions will finally have a value and will be fun to fly. pilots will be able to gather, manage friends lists, chat and setup coop missions game slots BEFORE starting the game and without being dependent on having a slot on a server. Right now Friends list is kinda useless and chat system has no real value because you can only chat with others who are on the same server and the messages get lost in all the other unimportant chatter, you cannot even scroll back to see any form of chat log! that makes everything very anonymous, and community feeling there once was does not really build up. It is simply no substitute for real time pager chat to have just a forum...

Nvidia Graphics Issues Post Here
I/JG27_Nemesis replied to Jason_Williams's topic in Technical Issues and Bug ReportsI frequently encounter a bug making A20 Bombers invisible time and again - just setup a quick mission with 2x 4 A20 Bombers, and try to engage them - you will encounter that some of them will become invisible, why others stay there being visible constantly. GPU: nVidia GTX 980 Driver 8.1.940.0 Full detail. Display: Oculus Rift CV1
Armament and equipment
I/JG27_Nemesis replied to BlackSix's topic in Technical Issues and Bug ReportsI doubt that. There are two buttons, for machine guns and cannons separately. The outer Wing cannons on Fw-190A series were only added later in the process. So why a separate button when there are no outer wing cannons present - for nothing? It does not make any sense. I added the pdf document: in the Fw190A-2 you had a selector switch ("Wahlschalter") and you could choose Gr. 1, Gr. 2 or Gr. 3 = all; (see Page 21), also see Fig. 9 The manual says when you have only inner wing cannons and no MG-FF, you could fire the MG151/20 separately; if you had MG-FF outer wing cannons, the MG151/20 were linked to the MG17. The Armament was NOT changed from Fw190A-2 to Fw190A-3 and Fw190A-5. (only the Fw190A-6 had 4x MG151/20 and Fw190 A8 had MG131 instead of MG17.) I uploaded the full reference for Fw190A-2: Bedienungsvorschrift Fw190A-2 Schusswaffenanlage.pdf The Armament of A-2 is 2x MG17, 2x MG151/20 and (optionally) 2x MG-FF The Armament of A-3 is 2x MG17, 2x MG151/20 and (optionally) 2x MG-FF (unchanged) The Armament of A-5 is 2x MG17, 2x MG151/20 and (optionally) 2x MG-FF (unchanged) The Armament of A-6 is 2x MG17, 4x MG151/20 and no MG-FF (changed) The Armament of D-9 is 2x MG131, 2x MG151/20 and no MG-FF (changed)

Brief description: Multiplayer List of servers sort by player count algorithm does NOT work...
I have participated in my first ever BoS COOP Mission yesterday, but what I missed was some sort of Lobby environment - you cannot chat or Private message with the pilots in your game slots of the mission you're about to fly or interact with them in any convenient and handy way...what's planned from the devs on this subject? I think I once read someone post they plan to create a own system, but would HL support make it easier and avoid unneccessary extra work? It is not neccessary to invent the wheel over and over again. I can't remember anyone who made a better eco-system for vpilots than Hyperlobby with hundreds of pilots online at the same time.
Where will be the first COOP based Online War with full-blown statistics? :D
One-sided screenshots and loading screens - all the time!!!
I/JG27_Nemesis posted a topic in PollsHi guys, I appreciate your work and I know you do a good job - BUT it sucks year after year, day after day, to see one-sided choice of screenshots ALL THE TIME! We've seen hundreds of screenshots and loading screens with burning Messerschmitts, Junkers and what not. However, to this day, we haven't EVER seen some screenshots / loading screens showing a Yak, Rata, LaGG, IL-2 go down in flames - why is that? Am I the only one who would like to see a bit more equal "outcomes" in Screenshots and Loading Pictures??? I am sick and tired of this stuff, and it just sucks! Thats why I wanted to create this poll to let the community decide what they want to see. I appreciate every honest participation, thank you!!
One Year BoS - and still NO COOP Missions or Online War
I/JG27_Nemesis replied to I/JG27_Nemesis's topic in SuggestionsTo me, the biggest news of the new "big announcement" is that there will finally be a decent Multiplayer Coop Hosting (one life, one airplane each, one time of start for all pilots) System AND a propper Lobby with Chat System (and PN Pager and friend list hopefully!) The missing of this part did ruin the long term motivation for me and all my fellow pilots, because it did just not make any sense to fly pointless dogfight servers with unlimited lives over and over - and kiddies bashing everyone around with vulching, intentional collisions and stuff....one life each plus global statistics does change the game! A decent online war will increase the long term motivation off the scale compared to what was there before. Without that, I would never have flown 600+ Missions in IL-2 Sturmovik Online War back in the year 2002. Thank you for your continued efforts to making this sim the greatest ever - only thing still missing is a proper Fw190 Cockpit FOV - after you fix that, theres not much left to complain about
Developer Diary, Part 176 - Discussion
I/JG27_Nemesis replied to Han's topic in General DiscussionCoop Mode coming - thats the biggest news since the release. Congratulations on getting that mighty stone rolling.....should have been there right from the start though. This missing piece, along with till today missing lobby-style EcoSystem where pilots can interact with each other socially, like e.g. Hyperlobby prevented the Community to get to full strength. Really a pitty.... Will just a Coop Gameplay mode be coming, or also some type of lobby support? Hyperlobby supported? Would be great! Cause its kinda stupid / boring / annoying / impractical / motivation killing to be passively waiting on an almost emtpy server gathering people WITHOUT a proper Lobby and chat / pager system in place!

The African Development Bank (AfDB) and Fidelity Bank have signed a $50 million financing agreement to promote the growth of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Nigeria.
The Senior Director/Country Representative at AfDB, Ebrima Faal signed the agreement on behalf of the organisation while the Deputy Managing Director of Fidelity Bank, Mohammed Balarabe, signed on behalf of the commercial bank.
At the official signing event in Abuja, AfDB noted that at least 30 percent of the fund must go into promoting businesses that are owned and operated by women entrepreneurs.
According to Faal, "we are excited about this partnership. The lines of credit tended to be general support for SMEs. This one has a strong emphasis on gender. It can be considered as a vanguard credit for us. Our main focus is to reach out to SMEs to give the much needed impact. We count on you to ensure that the requirement for loan disbursement is okay to enable it to reach out to the target audience".
Also speaking at the event, Balarabe revealed that businesses at the lower level have the capacity to catalyse the development of the economy, adding that the funding was unique because of the gender specification.
He said "the AfDB has found its fitting to be one of the banks that will be benefiting for onward lending to MSMEs. Fidelity is one of the leading lenders to the segment, but for us, it's not all about lending. Our engagement with MSMEs is more. We take time to find the needs of such businesses, and work with them on how to run the businesses.

About the University Strategic Plan
In 2013, months after President Robert Barchi took office, Rutgers embarked on a yearlong strategic planning process. Tens of thousands across the University and the broader community contributed their ideas through surveys, town halls, focus groups, faculty forums, departmental meetings, University Senate discussions, and retreats. What emerged in 2014 was a plan written for Rutgers, by Rutgers.
The University Strategic Plan comprised four overarching strategic priorities—build faculty excellence, transform the student experience, enhance our public prominence, and envision tomorrow's university—and a set of foundational elements undergirding those priorities. All these goals fed the plan's aspiration for Rutgers to be broadly recognized as among the nation's leading public universities.
The strategic plan has guided a new Rutgers undergoing seismic changes, chief among them the integration of most units of the former University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey into Rutgers; entrance into the Big Ten, the nation's premier athletic and academic conference; and the infusion of hundreds of millions of dollars in state bond funding for capital construction across the University.

A charter on heart failure to call politicians to action
In 2013, leading professional societies and patient groups involved in heart failure in Belgium launched a charter calling upon Belgian health authorities to improve the delivery of care and political attention given to heart failure in Belgium.1
What they did
In 2013, the Belgian Working Group on Heart Failure (BWGHF) together with Mon Coeur Entre Parentheses (a patient group on HF), the Belgian Society of Cardiology, the Belgian Working Group of Cardiovascular Nursing and the Ligue Cardiologique Belge, issued a Charter on heart failure (la Charte de l'insuffisance cardiaque).
The Charter includes a clear call to action to relevant health authorities in Belgium to implement a national strategy focused on heart failure, which puts in place sufficient resources to help improve outcomes for patients – and to do this despite economic pressures on health care systems.
The charter calls for 4 additional key priority areas:
- Campaigns to raise awareness of heart failure among the general public and the organisation of national screening campaigns
- Education and support for all patients living with heart failure, and official recognition for health professionals delivering this education to patients – particularly community nurses and heart failure specialist nurses
- Appropriate reimbursement of diagnostic tests recommended by clinical guidelines (e.g. BNP/NTproBNP); and
- Further development of multidisciplinary care teams for patients with HF.
What they achieved?
To date more than 12,000 Belgians (patients, citizens and health professionals) have already signed the charter. 2
The charter has been widely disseminated, and was hand-delivered to the Regional Minister of Health, as well as the Federal Minister of Public Health and Social Affairs.
Links, references, and key reading
A public copy of the Charter is available here:

I approve of this suggestion very strongly.
This week's Do One Thing is in honor of Earth Day, and it requires no effort at all. Just don't buy anything "extra". The amount of waste generated around the world because of consumer habits is astounding, and in the U.S. alone the typical American family throws out 2,460 pounds of paper, 540 pounds of metals, 480 pounds of glass and 480 pounds of food scraps. All told, each of us throws away more than 1,200 pounds of trash per year, far more than people in most other countries. That's a lot of trash! While we cannot go every day without buying anything, we can choose to go this day without buying anything other than food, should you need to, and that's what I am doing today for Earth Day – not consuming. So if it's not too late, do one of the best things you can do for the earth for this day!
I approve of this suggestion very strongly.
i'm doing it!

BSUK hosts second annual primary baseball tournament in Manchester
Thu 4 Jul 2019
On Tuesday 2 July, BaseballSoftballUK hosted the second annual Trafford Primary Baseball Tournament at Urmston Grammar School in Manchester.
Four teams from three primary schools took part, each playing three one-inning games where every player batted. The tournament was coach-pitched, and after three strikes players were able to hit from the tee, giving every single child a chance to succeed at bat.
With two wins and a draw, English Martyrs 2 won the tournament, with Urmston Juniors a close second with two wins and one loss.
All four teams have been coached in school since April in a mixture of curriculum and extra-curricular baseball sessions, but for most of the children this tournament gave them their first opportunity to play competitive games.
BaseballSoftballUK North West Coach Linni Mitchell said, "Since April over 200 children have participated in school baseball sessions across the three schools who competed today, and it was fantastic to see 40 enthusiastic players participating in the tournament. Judging by the excitement on all of their faces, I think they really enjoyed it. There's a real buzz around baseball following the MLB London Series and we're hoping we can build on that and engage with more primary and secondary schools in the future."
Regional Development Manager Luis Arrevillagas added, "Last year we ran a friendly game for two local primary schools. This year we had four teams in the tournament and next year we are planning to make this tournament bigger and better, with more medals, more coaches and even a home run fence! It was fantastic to see so many parents and siblings lining the field to support their school teams, cheering for all of the children, and that gave the event a lovely atmosphere."
Anyone interested in baseball/softball delivery in a primary or secondary school in the North West should contact Luis Arrevillagas on: firstname.lastname@example.com.

Terrarium TV application is one of the most popular and lovable android apps that allows its users to stream numerous movies and TV programs and that too in HD quality. It is an extraordinary Amazon firestick app that works precisely like Netflix but without charging a single penny for your entertainment. You can watch any of your favorite movie and TV shows without spending anything. Moreover, you don't need to jailbreak your firestick for using it. The best part about terrarium TV app is that it is altogether centered on its quality.
Some stunning highlights of terrarium TV are:
- Terrarium TV has an inbuilt feature of movie request where you can make your movie request. The developers quickly take action to provide you with your movie in two to three days.
- The application provides 10000+ movies in 4K HD quality. You can find almost every video in 1080p quality.
- Also, the app frequently comes up with the new updates that fix all the issues if it takes place.
In case you are a regular user of terrarium TV, then you must know the fact that the app developers have made a declaration that they are closing down the application. Hence, we will not be able to stream the videos anymore. But what if you get to know that still there is a solution and you can continue using the terrarium TV on firestick. Here we are going to discuss a step-to-step guide as to how to install the terrarium TV mod apk on firestick.
There are two methods through which you can install the terrarium app: through the downloader app and the other through Apple2Fire.
Firstly, we will discuss how you can install the terrarium TV using the downloader app. So, let's begin:
1) How to install terrarium TV using the downloader app?
Previously, the app developers suggested using the Yes player for streaming the programs and for a better experience. However, most of the users complained that they are unable to download yes player. So, it was recommended that MX player should be used in place of yes player for streaming the videos.
Therefore, prior to installing terrarium app on your device, you need to install the MX player on firestick. Let's see how you can do this.
Step1. Before going to start, you need to make changes by going to settings and then developer options. Turn on the 'Allow apps from unknown sources' from there to proceed further.
Step2. Firstly, you need to install the downloader app from the Amazon store. You can find it on the home screen of the firestick where you will get the downloader app.
Step3. From your Apps and Channel section, you can run the downloader app. The home screen of the app will appear in front of you. There you need to select and then click on the space presented on the right of the URL field.
Step4. The moment you will click on the space, an on-screen keyboard will show up where you need to type the following: https://www.firesticktricks.com/ttv. Click on the 'go' button.
Step5. Following that, a webpage will appear in the browser section of the app. There you need to click on the 'Download' option.
Step6. Now, wait till the terrarium TV mod apk file gets downloaded on your firestick.
Step7. When the downloading will get completed, the app will start installing it. Now, you need to go to the bottom right of the window where you have to select the next button and then click on install to proceed.
Step8. A notification will pop up on the screen regarding the completion of the terrarium TV mod version installation.
Note: make sure not to click on the open button yet as first, we need to install the MX player to make the app work on the device.
Step9. On the downloader window, click on the delete button which makes your terrarium TV apk deleted on your firestick. This is because you won't need it in the future as you have already downloaded the app.
Step10. Now, you need to click on the home tab again. This time you have to type the following in the URL: http://bit.ly/mxfire. Click on the 'go.'
Step11. Wait till the downloading and installation process ends.
Step12. When the MX player is installed, the notification will reappear on the screen, and you need to tap on 'done.'
Remember not to start the MX player directly. You need to go to the Apps & Channels from where you can run Terrarium TV. A changelog box will appear where you need to click OK and further selecting the MX player and accepting all the terms and conditions, you can start enjoying streaming your favorite programs.
2) How to install terrarium on firestick using Apps2Fire?
This is one of the easiest and convenient methods to install terrarium TV on firestick. Also, it takes less time if you have already installed this app on your Android device. The step guide of the installation process is as follows:
Step1. Similar to the previous method, firstly you need to turn on the 'Apps from unknown sources' option on your firestick.
Step2. Then you will need your firestick IP address that you can get from the settings>system>about>network.
Step3. Then, you need to download and install the terrarium app apk on your android device with this link: https://www.firesticktricks.com/ttv
Step4. In case you don't have the Apps2Fire app installed on your phone, then go the Google play store and make it fit.
Step5. After installing, launch the app and go the SETUP. Add your IP address.
Step6. Then click on the 'Local Apps' menu in Apps2Fire app and search for Terrarium TV.
Step7. The moment you install the terrarium TV app on firestick, you can start using the app without any hindrance.
So, this was the complete guide as to how to install the terrarium TV mod apk on firestick.
