Language stories from Logan are now showcased on Logan City Council's website.
They were launched at a special celebration last week at Logan Central Library.
The stories were developed to mark the 2019 United Nations International Year of Indigenous Languages.
The Our words our stories project recognises that the City of Logan is home to a Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population with a rich diversity of languages.
This includes descendants from the original peoples of Logan and from across Australia.
The stories offer personal insights from people who live, work or perform in the City of Logan.
The narrated language stories feature in 10 podcast recordings with visual overlays.
This includes a photo of the person telling the story, as well as slides showing the language words, their phonetic pronunciation and English meaning.
Maps of where the languages are spoken are also featured.
The stories have been provided by:
- Anita Heiss (Wiradjuri language)
- Gregg Dreise (Gamilaraay language)
- Derek Oram Sandy (Yuggera language)
- Aunty Margaret Finlay (Gunggari language)
- Robert Ah Wing (Kalkatunga language)
- Aunty Jeanette Fabila (the language of dance)
- Toni Pollard (the Nyeumba-Meta story)
- Aunty Kerry Charlton (Yuggera language)
- Neta-Rie Mabo (Meriam Mir language, East Torres Strait Islands)
- Aunty Dorothy Buhmann (Kalaw Lagaw Ya language, West Torres Strait Islands)
A new eBook version of the picture book Wajin: the Guardian of Scrubby Creek has also been launched.
The book is set in Scrubby Creek which is well-known in the City of Logan for its wildlife.
The book's main character is a platypus named Wajin.
The eBook is accompanied by an interactive video featuring 360-degree filming at Scrubby Creek, featuring the tale's creators Uncle Reg Knox and Beverley Knox.
Uncle Reg illustrated the original picture book and Bev wrote the story in 2004.
Their daughter Missy Knox has narrated the new digital version.
The stories can be accessed via loganlibraries.org/firstnations

20 Product Prioritization Techniques: A Map and Guided Tour
Prioritization is a top concern for most Product Managers. It's by far one of the most popular topics on PM blogs, Q&A sites and other online communities. Although it's not what we are hired to do, it's something that we have to do to achieve our real goal: creating successful products that bring value to our customers and to the business. The need to prioritize comes from a very simple fact: we just don't have enough resources to work on everything we can come up with. Thus, we need a process to determine the sets (and sequence) of things that should be done on the product to deliver the most value at each point in time, given our constraints. If we break this statement … Continue reading 20 Product Prioritization Techniques: A Map and Guided Tour

Wintersville could raise fees, employee pay
WINTERSVILLE — Plans to raise the village's building code fees and pay for village employees moved forward with the approval Thursday of the first readings of ordinances for those measures.
Mayor Bob Gale said the village's building fees haven't been raised in 20 years and the increases are needed to cover the salary of a part-time building inspector and other costs involved in conducting inspections.
"They're needed so we will break even. (It's) not a money-maker," Gale said.
Pending approval of second and third readings, the $75 zoning fee paid by residents and other property owners for construction, reconstruction, alteration, improvement, enlargement or relocation or any structure or related excavation will be raised by $25.
The fee paid by contractors or subcontractors for such work will be raised from $50 to $75.
An application fee for building permits will increase from $15 to $25.
The second reading will come before council at its next meeting at 7 p.m. Dec. 19.
In related business, Gale said the village has advertised for a new building inspector. Tom Straka, an auxiliary officer for the village police department for many years, had served in the position until his recent retirement.
Also slated for a second reading are pay increases in 2020 for the village's 26 full-time employees.
Gale said to make the raises fairer to all, those who received raises this year will receive a 2 percent raise, while others will receive a 5 percent raise.
In related business, council agreed to switch the health care provider for employees to United Healthcare at a cost of about $328,000.
Gale said the village faced a 25 percent increase, about $48,000, with its previous health care provider so the finance committee considered others.
He said coverage from United Healthcare will be about $13,000 more than the previous cost, but it was found to be the most affordable with coverage similar to employees' current plans.
Council also heard from Bob Laukert, its representative to the Brooke-Hancock-Jefferson Metropolitan Planning Commission, who updated it on the organization's efforts.
Laukert said 425 residents responded to a recent survey conducted by BHJ, sharing what they feel should be its goals.
They included supporting more public transportation for everyone, maintaining roads and other infrastructure, maintaining and developing recreational opportunities and supporting environment- and community-friendly business development.
Also on Thursday:
¯ Gale said the village's Christmas lighting contest will be conducted Dec. 21 and Dec. 22, with he and council members each nominating six homes for consideration. Residents interested in winning a $50 prize should have their lights illuminated those dates.
The winners are slated to be announced at council's Jan. 2 meeting.
¯ Council approved a $750 donation to the Ray Laman Christmas Party, which will be held by volunteers at 10 a.m. Dec. 14 at the Wintersville Fire Department.
¯ Gale said garbage routes will change during the holidays, with garbage on Christmas Day collected on Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve's garbage routes collected on Dec. 23. Garbage that normally would be picked up on New Year's Eve will be collected on Dec. 30, while garbage slated for pickup on New Year's Day will be collected on Dec. 31.

Are you dreaming of owning your own home? Are you looking for information on home mortgages? If so, you have come to the right place. The information shared below can get you on the right track when it comes to taking out a loan in order to buy a house.
Check your credit report before applying for a mortgage. With today's identity theft problems, there is a slight chance that your identity may have been compromised. By pulling a credit report, you can ensure that all of the information is correct. If you notice items on the credit report that are incorrect, seek assistance from a credit bureau.
Get quotes from many refinancing sources, before signing on the dotted line for a new mortgage. While rates are generally consistent, lenders are often open to negotiations, and you can get a better deal by going with one over another. Shop around and tell each of them what your best offer is, as one may top them all to get your business.
Check out the interest rates for 15, 20 and 30 year term lengths. Many times the shorter the term length the lower the interest rate. Although you may think you payment will be higher on a shorter term loan, you can actually save money on your payment by choosing a lower interest rate and a shorter term.
Don't apply for new credit and don't cancel existing credit cards in the six months before applying for a mortgage loan. Mortgage brokers are looking for consistency. Any time you apply for credit, it goes on your credit report. Avoid charging a large amount during that time and make every payment on time.
You can request for the seller to pay for certain closing costs. For example, a seller can pay either a percentage of the closing cost or for certain services. Many times the seller is responsible for paying for a termite inspection along with a survey and appraisal of the property.
Save up for the costs of closing. Though you should already be saving for your down payment, you should also save to pay the closing costs. They are the costs associated with the paperwork transactions, and the actual transfer of the home to you. If you do not save, you may find yourself faced with thousands of dollars due.
Before looking to buy a house, make sure you get pre-approved for a mortgage. Getting pre-approved lets you know how much you can spend on a property before you start bidding. It also prevents you from falling in love with a property you can't afford. Also, many times seller will consider buyers with pre-approval letters more seriously than those without it.
The process of obtaining a home mortgage can be a little overwhelming. Don't let that scare you away. The helpful tips shared here can give you the knowledge you need to go into the bank with your head held high with confidence. Use what you learned and you can be in a brand new house before you know it.

The world we perceive through our senses seems like one from which we've managed to create language from; not vice versa. However ever since the 18th century; great thinkers, scientists and psychologists have been suggested an inverse relationship.
These minds suggest that in reality the two are bound intrinsically to each other. We perceive through language, and our language describes our senses simultaneously. This creates an unfortunate 'chicken – egg' situation wherein we're left wondering which one came first.
Through a great number of experiments, scientists and psychologists have been able to concrete this idea into current literature.
One of the most important experiments in this field comes in the 19th century. This experiment pitted wealthy children against poor children in a perceptive battle. Each one of the children was given some amount of currency in the form of various bills, of various values. In the experiment; the children are then asked to draw this currency on a piece of paper. Here is where it gets interesting. The children of lower economic-class drew each bill larger than its real proportion; and on top of that, the higher valued bills were proportionally larger to their lesser valued cousins. This idea gives way to the concept of visual proportion being based in cognitive value. Wherein, when somebody perceives something as more important (due to language) they will also perceive it as larger. This idea is then reinforced by the behavior of the wealthy children, who would illustrate these bills with greater coherence to reality. This highlights again that the importance of something determines its size in our perception (being that the wealthy group, assigning less value to 'money', draw the bills smaller). Apparently there is a link between the size things appear to be, and the linguistic value we assign to them.
Another fascinating experience analyzes depth perception amongst various linguistically-distinct populations. This experiment compared how a population of modern Europeans with occidental culture and a population of modern Africans pertaining to a tribal culture. This experiment presented the two groups with a photo of themselves from a wide variety of lenses (wide-angle, fish eye, etc) taken seconds before. Although the Europeans were able to identify both the type of visual illusion and themselves, the African group differed. The members of this group was rarely able to identify themselves, much less the presences of an optical illusion. The psychologists behind this study attributed the phenomena to a culturally distinct perception. They argued that occidental culture, being rich in optical illusions (through language, art and architecture for the most part), better trained their members to perceive these illusions. Whereas the much smaller culture of the African tribes-people wasn't so prone to these illusions, and thusly they were less adept in identifying them. From here, others have deduced that it was very likely that this illusion of 'depth perception' didn't even develop in European populations until after the reign of the ancient Greeks. In their language, 'vision' was not identical to 'sight' (in our terms); but rather referenced figures overlaying a background. This linguistic conception doesn't allow the 'seeing' of distance because it simply isn't there to see; and a similar problem can be found in the studied African populations.
This linguistic-link between our sense and perception surely is a fascinating one. Language apparently founds the way we see things, literally. And simultaneously, our language only references the things we see (or otherwise sense); this confusing relationship is not only terrifying but extremely powerful. Through language we've learned how to measure distance with our eyes, and produce a 3D reality from a simple 2D perception. Language plays a much more important role in our psyche than most of us think; it can literally change the way you see the world

Perhaps you're a veteran of the tax software debates on TurboTax vs. H&R Block. Or maybe you're a business owner who's ready to make the switch from a personal tax preparer to software. Or maybe you're a new freelancer wondering if using tax software is really better than just filing taxes yourself.
Finding the tax software with the right features will help you file on time, file correctly (audits aren't fun!), and get a better tax return, putting more money in your pocket.
Here's our take on the five best tax software options for small businesses, with a runner-up included as well.

Best overall business tax software: TurboTax
With a clear and comprehensive approach to tax filing, business owners can trust TurboTax to answer their questions and maximize their returns.
Features and cost
TurboTax is one of the most recognizable names in the business. But do the features live up to the hype? The answer is a decisive "yes," but you will pay more for all those helpful features. Here's what you get when you file with TurboTax:
- Error checks while filing and a double check of your finished return
- Maximum refund guarantee (or your money back)
- W-2 uploading through your company or by taking a photo
- Easy income and expense account importing if you have QuickBooks Desktop
TurboTax Self Employed starts at $120 for federal taxes and $50 per state, or you can pay $200 to get live help from a CPA to ensure you're filing taxes correctly. If you have more than one or two employees, you'll want TurboTax Business, which costs $169.99 plus $54.99 for state filing.
Is TurboTax right for my business?
TurboTax fits a lot of small-business needs, but this tax preparation software works especially well if you relate to any of the following:
- You have doubts about which deductions to claim for maximum profit.
- You worry about mistakes and want to cover any holes in your return.
- You want a streamlined system for your business to make the filing process easier and faster.
While all the extra features might be tempting, you may want to search other options if this matches your situation:
- You're confident about which small-business tax deductions will apply to you, and
- You want to save money when filing.
TurboTax ticks a lot of boxes. It's easy to use and helps you file quickly. The software's user interface makes sense and guides you through the process smoothly—and if you still need help, one-on-one support will soon be on the way. And its guarantees (including a maximum refund guarantee) provide peace of mind that you'll file taxes in a way that benefits your business most.
That said, the features and reliability definitely come with a cost. If you're self-employed or freelancing, you could save some money with a cheaper service if you already know which tax deductions to claim. The more complicated your business is, the more attractive an option like TurboTax becomes.
Best for complex businesses: H&R Block
For some small businesses, tax filing is a relative breeze, but not every business is so lucky. Maybe you have a lot of tough deduction decisions to make, or perhaps your company needs additional software for accounting or HR.
Features and cost
H&R Block is a popular company with plenty of experience—it's been around for over 60 years. And while it doesn't provide the cheapest software, but H&R Block reassures businesses that every expense and deduction is accounted for. Here are some of the benefits H&R offers:
- Quick, easy integration of past tax return info (even if it's from a competitor's software)
- Free audit representation if needed
- Chat help with a tax professional
- Partnership with Xero for day-to-day business accounting needs
- Extra assurance if you choose Tax Pro Review
Software costs for self-employed business owners starts at $74.95 but can range up to $104.99 (state tax filing starts at $19.95). Additional resources like Xero or Tax Pro Review cost extra.
Is H&R Block right for my business?
H&R packs plenty of features into its software, but do you need them? Consider H&R if your business checks off these boxes:
- You have a complex set of itemized deductions and expenses to deal with.
- You want to consult someone on some of your decisions.
- You think you might miss out on some of your deductions without help.
Consider a different option if your business matches this scenario:
- You have straightforward freelance or self-employment income.
- You want the cheapest filing option possible.
There are two major circumstances where H&R Block's services will benefit your business. The first circumstance is if you worry whether your small business is maximizing every advantage possible. Thanks to online chats with professionals and the option for pros to sign off every last inch of your return, you can rest easy knowing that you did right by your taxes.
Second, H&R could work great if you are also looking for accounting support in addition to help with filing taxes. Through a partnership with Xero, you'll have several accounting tools that should smoothly integrate with H&R Block when tax season comes around.
But some businesses might not use all those features—in that case, investing in H&R Block would just be throwing money away. If you know which deductions you can claim, or if your business just doesn't have that many direct expenses, there are cheaper options for filing.
Best for beginners: Liberty Tax
Why lean on experts when you can become the expert yourself? Liberty Tax's Tax Education School, which offers online and classroom tax courses, is a unique feature that helps tax novices gain tax know-how.
Features and cost
Beyond their unique branding—if you've seen someone twirling a sign dressed as Lady Liberty on a sidewalk, it was likely for Liberty Tax—most of Liberty Tax's features are fairly standard.
- Double-checking system to make sure your return checks out
- Multiple support options, including chat, email, or even in-person help
- Audit assistance if needed
- Online-to-office transition if you ever get stuck mid-filing
- Free tax education courses
If you're self-employed, you'll need at least the Deluxe edition, which usually costs $64.95—but thanks to Liberty Tax's ongoing sale, all of its online tax filing products cost just $44.95. That includes the typically pricier Premium edition, which is perfect for S corporations.
Is Liberty Tax right for my business?
Liberty Tax has reasonable prices and some standard features, but when does it make the most sense for your small business? Consider Liberty Tax if you relate to these factors:
- You want to take its tax education courses.
- You feel more comfortable with the option to meet face-to-face if needed.
- You don't need many extra features.
On the other hand, consider looking elsewhere if either of these match your situation:
- You definitely want to file from your computer only.
- Liberty Tax's unique features don't benefit you.
Similar to H&R Block, Liberty Tax combines brick-and-mortar storefronts with online offerings. That combination might appeal to some small-business owners, especially anyone who is just starting out. For most people, face-to-face contact works best when working out a tricky tax situation. This makes the online-to-office filing transition especially appealing.
In contrast, if you don't see yourself visiting in-store or attending the tax education courses, there might be better options at both lower and higher price points. Liberty Tax's interface and features are pretty standard, and the price is average as well.
Best for small businesses: eFile.com
While eFile.com has a mixture of useful features, its quirky sense of humor and personable approach to taxes stands out.
Features and cost
Moving past the entertainment aspects of the site, eFile promises a lot of standard features. You can't file a Form 1120 for corporations from the site, but smaller businesses will score a solid value with eFile. Here are some of the features eFile offers:
- Calculator systems for quick estimates before you file
- A personally assigned "Taxpert" support agent
- Free audit assistance
- Unlimited state returns
Businesses will need to buy the premium edition for $39.95. If needed, the fee for unlimited states returns will be $28.95, which is pretty good—competitors like TurboTax charge you over $40 per state.
Is eFile.com right for my business?
With a straightforward approach to pricing and a smaller price tag than other options, eFile.com is a compelling option for small-business tax software. Consider eFile if you relate to the following:
- You feel like some humor and diversions might motivate you to file.
- You aren't sure what features you'll even need from your tax software.
- You'd like to do some basic number crunching before you file.
On the other hand, consider another option if your business fits these descriptions:
- Your business is not a pass-through entity and needs to file Form 1120.
- You don't like distractions.
You could benefit from eFile.com if you own a pass-through business, even if you don't appreciate their more light-hearted approach to filing. Their pricing structure is direct and affordable, and several basic filing features are covered.
However, some might find the website unprofessional, and some of the pop-ups and menus make navigating the site difficult. Since you can't fill out Form 1120 on eFile.com, you'll need to find another option if your business is registered as a C corporation.
Best budget option: FreeTaxUSA
FreeTaxUSA's appeal is obvious from its name alone.
Features and cost
If you know the price is right, the real question is whether FreeTaxUSA has the features you need to file properly. Here's a rundown of what they offer:
- Over 350 credits and deductions accounted for
- Integration of previous tax returns, even from competing tax software
- Email-based customer support
- Tax return backup if you need to print old returns
- Chat support and audit assistance (with Deluxe edition)
You can file your federal taxes for free, and a state return will cost you $14.99. The Deluxe upgrade adds a few features, like amended returns and priority support, for $6.99.
Is FreeTaxUSA right for my business?
With fewer features and less support than other small-business tax software, who can benefit most from FreeTaxUSA's low cost? Consider FreeTaxUSA if the following describes your business:
- Your business is simple self-employment or freelance work.
- You want the cheapest filing option available.
- You need little to no support to fill out your tax forms.
On the other hand, consider shopping elsewhere if this matches your business:
- You need to file Form 1120 for a corporation.
- You plan on having lots of questions during the filing process.
FreeTaxUSA will work perfectly for freelancers and other people who file as sole proprietors. You don't need to spend any extra money on unneeded features, and if you happen to be in a state without income tax, you might file absolutely free.
But this online filing service won't work at all for more complex businesses. Many business tax forms are unsupported. FreeTaxUSA might also be a poor fit if you need help with questions as you file—its support options and help features aren't top of the line.
Runner-up: TaxAct
TaxAct is the Toyota Corolla of tax software: affordable, straightforward, and well-rounded when it comes to the benefits it offers.
Features and cost
So what are those balanced benefits? You can generally expect all standard features—plus a few nice bonuses—with the TaxAct software.
- Integration with tax data from a previous TaxAct return
- Integration with accounting software that uses CSV format
- One-on-one help from tax and technical experts over the phone
- Bookmarks and alerts to help you navigate your return
TaxAct helps you file a single federal return for $109.95. State tax returns cost an additional $54.95. If you own a larger business, like a C corporation or S corporation, you'll pay the same cost.
Is TaxAct right for my business?
Consider TaxAct if these benefits appeal to you:
- You have a larger business but want a cheaper filing price.
- You want the comfort of one-on-one support with a tax expert.
On the other hand, consider an alternative option if you identify with these priorities:
- You value a range of additional features.
- You want a cheaper filing option for simpler businesses.
TaxAct is a great middle-of-the-road option for businesses who want a few extra features, such as tax expert support, for a reasonable price. If you or your business is already familiar and happy with TaxAct, you shouldn't feel pressured to change.
If nothing about TaxAct immediately grabs you, your business might want to find an option that either offers more support and features, like TurboTax and H&R Block, or a cheaper price, like eFile.com and FreeTaxUSA.

Thanks to the government's recent tax-filing extension, the tax deadline isn't quite around the corner—but it'll still arrive sooner rather than later. Whether you have or haven't filed yet, we hope you're in for a substantial return. But since tax laws vary drastically from state to state, the place you choose to set up shop can influence your business's growth, success, and sustainability.
How? Well, for starters, seven of our top states lack a state income tax, and one, Tennessee, has just a 1% rate. Some, like Washington, are famous for their startup culture and tech friendliness; it's practically a given that their tax laws would incentivize small-business owners. Other winners, like South Dakota and Montana, are rural states where the cost of living is low—and so is the cost of starting a business, which makes the area enticing to small-business owners, individuals, and families alike.
In contrast, our lowest-ranked states have notoriously high taxes and high costs of living, especially California and New York. The lack of tax deals might make them less appealing to business owners who are trying to make money, pay their employees, send in the rent check on time, and, you know, eat the occasional meal or two.
Your taxation situation
Of course, while location is crucial to your tax prospects, it isn't the be-all and end-all of tax deals—or of business success. State business taxes often break down by industry, so you'll want to do more research before planning your immediate move from Minnesota to Wyoming. Still, if tax deals are important to your business, give our top picks an extra look; a good tax bargain can nudge your business in the right direction.

Our methodology
To determine the best and worst states for business tax deals, we looked at four tax rates in each state:
- State income tax rate (weighted 40%)1
- Combined state and federal corporate tax rate (weighted 20%)2
- Combined state and local sales tax rate (weighted 20%)3
- Property tax rate (weighted 20%)4
We weighted each rate and assigned the states' scores based on how high or low their tax rates were. Specifically, we normalized each measurement on a 0–1 scale with 1 as the measurement that would most positively affect the final score and 0 as the measurement that would most negatively affect the final score. These adjusted measurements were then added together with the weights mentioned above to get a score of out of 100.

Choosing the right tax software for your business plan
Looking for some more tips on picking the perfect software for your small business? With so many features offered by even the simplest software out there, it can be tough to narrow down what you need while checking prices at the same time.
A tax software with the right features will help you file on time, file correctly (audits aren't fun!), and get a better tax return, meaning more money in your pocket.
It might make sense to put features first—after all, any gains from a correctly filed return tend to outweigh the price difference from product to product. But don't just "ooh" and "aah" over an impressive list of capabilities and extras. Instead focus on the features you know you'll need. Then find the cheapest product that still gives you everything your business requires.
Take a look at your business plan and make sure your legal structure, products, services, and staff will all work with the tax program features you choose. If you don't have an official business plan, consider creating one before choosing your software.
Personal vs. business taxes
You'll also need to decide whether you're using tax preparation software mostly for personal income taxes or for business taxes.
The biggest shift from personal to business taxes is probably the shift of responsibility. With personal taxes, a lot of the tax preparation falls on the shoulders of your employer. Generally, you just fill out a relatively short form once a year and claim the proper refund.
But if you own a business, you need to know a bit more and you need to prepare a bit more. Depending on what type of business entity you registered, you'll need to track a variety of forms and deadlines.
For typical full-time employees, the employer withholds taxes from an employee's paycheck. That means many employees look forward to a nice tax refund as a reward for filing. But with business taxes, you probably shouldn't expect a refund unless you overpay on your quarterly filings.
For both personal and business taxes, it's important to keep solid records of your finances. However, personal returns have more restrictions when it comes to tax deductions. Since so many business expenses are tax deductible, keep those business receipts if you want those deductions.
Forms you'll need to file business taxes
One key difference between filing personal and business taxes will be the various forms you need to complete. Different business entities each use different tax forms—we'll give you a quick rundown here.
Sole proprietors
If your small business isn't registered as a legal entity, you should fill out a Form 1040, which is your personal tax return. As part of your 1040, you'll also need to complete the Schedule C portion, which allows you to report the income and expenses from your sole proprietorship. These same forms will also work if you registered your business as an LLC with you as the sole member.
Partnerships, LLCs, and S corporations
What if you're not running a solo gig? Every member of a partnership, LLC, or S corporation will need to fill out Form 1065 and a Schedule K-1. Each of these business organizations pass through business income to the owners or shareholders, so the members will need to account for those earnings under Schedule E in their personal income taxes.
C corporations
Unlike the organizations above, C corporations do not pass through income to the business owners. These businesses file their corporate taxes using Form 1120. If you're a business owner, you should get a Form 1099 to inform you of the income you made from the business for your personal return.
Other considerations
Different situations will require extra forms, like a Form 720 for excise taxes (necessary if you sell items like tobacco, alcohol, or gasoline) or Form 941 for taxes withheld from paychecks. As the complexity of your business grows, you'll probably need more powerful tax software to keep up with all the required filings.
Annual vs. quarterly taxes
After years of ignoring taxes until April tax season comes along, switching to a quarter-based tax schedule can be jarring. Depending on whether you have employees or what goods you sell, you might not have an option.
If you pay employees, then those Form 941s will need to be filed quarterly. Likewise, Form 720, used for excise taxes, will also need to be filled out every three months. Unsure if you'll need to report excise taxes? If your business plans on selling items like tobacco, alcohol, or gasoline, you are required to charge excise taxes and will need to file those earnings.
Outside of those categories, you have the option of making quarterly payments or a single year-end payment to the IRS. Many businesses choose to file quarterly based off an estimated return. But if you're willing to set aside money for one large payment, you can simply pay at the end of the tax year.
Take the worry out of tax season
That wraps up our list of the best tax software for small businesses. Whether you found the perfect software to fit your unique situation or chose the reliability of our overall winner, TurboTax, you can rest assured that tax season will be less stressful with the right kind of help.

Is anxiety normal when you\'re clean for a while?
Walter Sobchak
Asked: 2018-11-13 14:46:22
Answered: 2018-11-13 17:47:27
Hi Walter,Yes it is very normal that you are feeling this way. There are a few reasons that this happens. First of all, you are getting used to actually feeling your emotions. When you were using, you always had the drugs to numb everything out. Now that you are not doing drugs, your body is adjusting. Simple things that people deal with every day to you will seem more extreme and may bring about anxiety and panic. What you can trust is, that this won't last for long. Eventually, your body will regulate itself and you will get used to handling these feelings. You might go into panic because you are not used to feeling extreme emotions. This is one of the things that can take people back out if they are not careful. Blessings

Man in blackface robs Maryland bank: Police Back to video
Police in Maryland are looking for a man who wore blackface to allegedly rob a bank on Tuesday.
The Perryville Police Department posted to Facebook an image from surveillance video of a man with dark brown paint on his face while being served by a PNC Bank teller, reports the Baltimore Sun.
The suspect is described by police as "a white male, with paint on his face, approximately 5-feet to 5-foot-5 and late 20's to early 30's."
He was wearing a white coat, gloves and a red tuque as he approached the teller with a note.
On Thursday, however, Perryville police deleted the Facebook post due to numerous derogatory and vulgar comments.
"We do appreciate those who had contributed any information in regards to the bank robbery," the department wrote in an update to the case. "We ask that in future posts regarding a crime that we limit any commenting to relevance of the incident and details."

From Detroit to Ibiza, Seth Troxler is one of the most in-demand DJs in the world. It's not too hard to understand why, given that his style is a party-friendly blend that leans heavily on the new school of tech-house, with crowd-pleasing rubbery basslines and '80s production techniques. He's headed to the Fox Theater this Saturday as a part of Sonár on Tour alongside Die Antwoord and Azari & III. We recently caught up and asked him to show off five of his favorite tracks for a packed dancefloor.
There really isn't anybody else like Benoit & Sergio. Based out of Washington D.C. and Berlin, the duo has spent the past couple years supplying dancefloors with strange athems that combine '80s pop appeal with slick tech-house aesthetics, leading some publications to describe them as Ricardo Villalobos meets Paul Simon. However you want to think about their music, there's no denying their presence in today's club culture. And now, they're back with "New Ships," their latest single, and on their way to Public Works to headline the 18th Annual Halloween Freaker's Ball this Friday. We caught up with them and asked if they'd point us to five records that helped to inspire their unique sound.
Get ready, this week's edition of Signal to Noise packs a bit of a punch. Not content with our usual format, Bus Station John decided to send over a list of his five favorite female divas (plus a little bonus pick you'll need to scroll through to the end to see). Why all the extras? Well, it boils down to the fact that this Saturday marks the first anniversary of Love Will Fix It, his monthly exploration of late-'70s and early-'80s R&B. And while he might be better known for the retro bathhouse disco of Tubesteak Connection, the following list ought to provide an idea of the breadth of his collection. Read what the man has to say, listen to these tracks, and head over to The Hot Spot this Saturday for a dose of the real thing.
It might not be such a dirty word these days, but electro sure had its problems in the late-'00s. Back then it was somehow appropriated to describe any MP3 below 120 BPM that stunk of Ed Banger. Yet, while some may have gotten confused, DJ Mega_Lo has always known the true meaning of the word electro: speaker shredding electronic funk with roots in Detroit and Miami. As a part of the Party Effects collective, he worked to ensure that there was a constant stream of electro music in the Bay Area, albeit with an odd performance-art twist.
Nowadays he's still at it with with Mega_Lo Mobile, a project dedicated to tracks created entirely on smartphone. You can catch him live this Saturday, at 222 Hyde, for Electro Basement Series #1, Haçeteria and OK Hole's new electro-oriented party. To get ready for the party, we asked Mega_Lo to send over five of his favorite Bay Area electro records.
Don't discount the power of radio, or at least, don't in Tim Sweeney's case. The New Yorker started Beats in Space, his now famous WNYU radio show, in the late '90s, and has since developed a fanatical global following of dance music aficionados. His weekly broadcasts offer concise snapshots of different artists' styles, with regular guest mixes and appearances that stray towards the left-field side of disco and house. He plays Public Works this Friday with prolific disco re-editor Eric Duncan (of Rub 'N Tug and Dr. Dunks fame) for Face party. Usually the one asking the questions, we asked him to provide us with five of his favorite tunes.
"Good Times," by Michael Mayer
"[This is] the first single off Mayer's new album, Mantasy, coming out October 22 on Kompakt records. Mayer's all about the good times, and so am I! Last time I saw Mayer DJ, I drank all his champagne and did a stage dive before someone (not me) set off a fire extinguisher on the dancefloor that closed the whole party down. What a bummer."
Hopefully you were lucky enough to catch Chicago Skyway's set last Saturday at upstart 222 Hyde-based party Acid Test. But if you weren't -- or if your ears are still buzzing -- then you're in luck, because we've managed to get the man to send over five of his favorite recent tracks. As you might expect from a DJ who's been active since the late '80s, his selections are deep and varied, with the kind of forward-thinking-yet-old-school Chicago-vibe he works with on his own productions. Give these a spin, and, if they're your thing, then be sure to check out Acid Test's events in the near future for further explorations of "the art and artistry of vinyl DJing."
"Beat Traxx," by Ricardo Miranda
"A lot of people underestimate the beat track. These are perfect to get the crowd hyped, to play an accapella over, or to just transition from one mood to another. I've been listening to these beats nonstop for the past couple of days."
It's hard to believe it's only been two years since As You Like It first appeared in San Francisco. Today, it seems as though the family-like crew has a near-monopoly on underground techno in the city, with packed events almost every other weekend. A large part of this is due to the party's on-point roster of resident DJs -- a roster that begins with Scottish transplant Mossmoss (aka Mattie Bowen). As it says in his bio, "You can catch him opening the night, closing the night, peak-hour, and off-peak. Basically, Mossmoss makes it happen." Now celebrating two years of "quality," he sent over five representative tracks as a teaser for the main event. Give 'em a spin and catch him live this Saturday, on top of The W, for the As You Like It Two-Year Anniversary with Mark "MK" Kinchen and The Revenge.
"My Love," by Safeword
"These guys have just been killing it recently. Local heroes and all around great guys; Safeword have really started to hit a bit of a stride. I'm stoked to call them my buddies, and even more excited that they're making fantastic music."
For this week's Signal to Noise, our focus turns southward toward Los Angeles. From that city's thriving dance community comes the accomplished DJ trio known as Droog. In its native scene, the group has built a reputation as a streamlined unit, throwing raves at the high capacity Avalon Hollywood and poolside affairs at The Rooftop at The Standard, Downtown LA. Worldwide, the group has drawn acclaim off its associated label Culprit, a tastemaker entity that's curated works by artists like Lee Curtiss, Shonky, and Hot Natured. This Saturday, the boys are taking over The EndUp (check out our recent review of the club) for an all-night Culprit showcase. We caught up with Droog member Justin Sloe and asked him to send over a list of five favorite tracks to prepare you for the night.
"Rough Patch," by Slow Hands
"Made for last summer's DJ Kicks for Soul Clap, I was hooked on this from the very first listen. When the first guitar strums in, no matter where you are or what you are doing you can smell the ocean air and feel the sun shining."
Though a long-time member of the local scene, it's taken something of a stylistic update for 5kinAndBone5 to finally break out. That update must have involved some manner of trippy cybernetic augmentation, as the duo's found itself dissolved and dispersed in a matrix of '90s cyberculture Tumblrs, occult technology, and raw-as-fuck rhythm programming. The last two years have been big for the duo, with tracks out now on fresh imprints Grizzly, Uknown to the Unknown, and Soo Wavey. Earlier this week we caught up with a brain in a vat claiming to be 5kinAndBone5, which said these are its five favorite's from the past year or so. Give them a spin, and check out 5kinAndBone5, co-headlining with Brenmar, this Saturday for Lights Down Low's latest party at 222 Hyde.
"Meter," by Adriana Lopez
"Hailing from Barcelona, homegirl Adriana just dropped an exquisite gem via Newrhythmic Digital. Heavy and deep with computer glitches in the matrix pulsating steadily, yet it somehow eschews the overtly sinister pitfall many a techno tune inherently falls into. This genre is such an easy thing to butcher, so needless to say I am always stoked when I encounter individuals who can dish it out with subtlety in a way that is not overpowering. She gets it. This reflects my ideal take on modern day techno."
Some know him as a producer, others as a killer DJ. Either way there's no denying that Ghosts on Tape has long been a rising figure in the world of dance music. Outside of San Francisco he's built a reputation off the strength of his innovative releases and remixes on labels like Wireblock (the A-side of which, "Predator Mode," made it to a Soul Jazz compilation), Tigerbeat6, and Planet Mu. Locally, he's mostly known as one of the resident DJs at Icee Hot, a party that lends itself well to his particular blend of futurist bass and classic techno. Always a step ahead, we caught up with the man and asked him what tracks have caught his ear lately. Check out his response below, and be sure to head to Public Works' OddJob Loft, this Saturday, to catch him as he sets the stage for legendary Detroit techno DJ Robert Hood at Icee Hot.
1. "Nuclear Funk (A Made Up Sound Remix)," by Arttu ft. Jerry the Cat
"I love the original of this track (as well as every other Arttu production I've heard). A thick slab of dark basement house that is the perfect mix of classic and modern, it's one that has been a presence in my Serato crate since I found it. Then this A Made Up Sound remix comes along and keeps all the best elements of the original, shuffles up the drums and makes the track darker and weirder than it was before. Brilliant."

Newly uncovered photos from the border protest attended by a tearful Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez show that she was crying over an empty parking lot.
Many have accused the Congresswoman and her supporters of staging a photo-op after the images, taken during a 2018 event outside a migrant "tent city" in Tornillo, Texas, went viral earlier this week.
The photos show an emotional AOC holding her face and appearing to cry. Her attention appears to be directed towards whatever is on the other side of the fence.
However, a photo from a different angle shows there is nothing there aside from an empty parking lot and some police officers.
Another image shows a photographer being careful to capture AOC's reaction as she gets emotional over what appears to be little other than a vehicle and a tree.
As we previously reported, Ocasio-Cortez attended to star-studded "protest" wearing a pristine white outfit, bright red lipstick and a $600 dollar watch.
This prompted many of her critics to accuse the Congresswoman and her supporters of staging the photos, arguing that the images did not show a spontaneous, authentic reaction.
I decided to stage a photoshoot just like @AOC!
Except I'm outside of an inner-city school where the conditions are abhorrent and the majority of black AMERICAN boys can't pass a basic reading exam.
Maybe the liberal media will give this epidemic some attention now? #BLEXIT pic.twitter.com/xlDk1DXnFC

PM: Expand fire services widely
27 October, 2016, 3:29 pm
Update: 3:29PM IT IS vital that we make the response services provided by the National Fire Authority available as widely as possible throughout the country.
Prime Minister Voreqe Bainimarama reasoned a fire could strike at anytime and anywhere.
He said for too long, those services by the NFA had been restricted to urban centres, leaving rural communities vulnerable.
"But that was not a reality that my Government was prepared to accept," he said.
He said progress was being made but there was still work to be done.

Richard Deacon, Born ???? Married Ann Willis
Samuel Deacon, Born 1748 Married Sarah Wilcox
Joseph Deacon, Born circa.1766 Married Mary Harris
Benjamin Deacon, Born 1809, Married Emma Watts
Robert Watts Deacon, Born 1836, Married Martha Ellingham
John Benjamin Deacon, Born 1880, Married Annie Elizabeth Horn
The information contained within this page is the result of shared research. I wish to thank fellow Deacon researcher Yvonne Mitchell for most of it. In the coming months/years I hope to be able to personally confirm what is written and obtain copies of the certificates and census records etc. etc. It is very difficult to prove beyond doubt that what we believe to be fact is actually that. All we can do is interpret the records and piece together the facts as they present themselves in the hope that the resulting picture makes sense.
Richard married Ann Willis at St Mary's Church, Dilton, Wiltshire 22nd May 1738. At the same Church in 1748 Samuel was baptised, his parents given as Richard and Ann Deacon. No occupation was recorded for Richard and no maiden name for Ann.
Samuel married Sarah Wilcox in Rode, Somerset in 1770. Rode is about 4 - 5 miles from Westbury across the Wiltshire/Somerset county boundary. Samuel is stated as being the father of Joseph Deacon in research that has been undertaken by the family of Joseph Deacon's wife Mary Ann Harris. It continues:
"Henry, (the youngest son of Richard and Jane Harris) married Ann Hopkins, 24th July 1770. She was the daughter of John Hopkins. They had issue one daughter Mary Ann born 20th March, 1771, she was married to Joseph Deacon (son of Mr. Samuel Deacon), September 1794. They had issue- Benjamin Deacon, Joseph Deacon, Ann Deacon and Samuel Deacon. Henry Harris died 20th August, 1810, aged 73 years."
It seems that Samuel Deacon converted to the Baptist ideology after his own son George was baptized at St Mary's Church in Dilton in 1770. It is a feature of the Baptists beliefs that a person should only be Baptized at their own request rather than at birth as was prevalent in the Anglican Church. The fact that Samuel himself was Baptized at birth suggests his father did not hold the Baptist beliefs. It is recorded that Samuel was Baptized again in August 1774 at Westbury Leigh Baptist Church. Samuel and Sarah are both mentioned in the minutes book of the Westbury Leigh Church.
Samuel again comes to the fore in November 1810. Four years earlier in 1806 the incumbent Pastor of Westbury Leigh Church, Mr. William Marshman had died. His co-Pastor Mr. George Philips had claimed the sole pastorate of the Church resulting in major disagreements within the congregation. A division of loyalties caused the formation of a new Baptist Church at Penknap, a small area of land between Dilton Marsh and Westbury Leigh. It was agreed within the Church that Mr. George Philips and those within the Church that supported him, should form their own Church.
The split within the Church at Westbury Leigh was documented in a book entitled "Twenty Golden Candlesticks" written by another son of Wiltshire Mr. W. Doel and published in 1890. At the time of writing the book Mr. Doel was the Pastor of the Baptist Church at Southwick, a small village south west of Trowbridge. The book goes into great detail about the formation and history of the Westbury Leigh and Penknap Churches and other non conformists Churches and Chapels of West Wiltshire. About the split within the Westbury Leigh congregation he writes:
No one will profit by a recital here of the altercations divisions of feeling which took place at Westbury Leigh 83 years ago. One circumstance only I relate. Mr. Phillips, on assuming the sole pastorate at Leigh, was accused of having been formerly a Wesleyan minister. When asked whether it was so at a Church meeting, he would not reply, which led to a party feeling between the pastor and some of the Church."
The split was also documented in the newly formed Penknap Baptist Church minute book, a partial transcription of which appears below. It appears from the pages of these books that Samuel Deacon was a prominent supporter of Mr. Philips and was one of the first five deacons to be elected, the other four were Felix Hall, Jeremiah Hewitt, Nicholas Hopkins, and Thomas Curtis. The new Church was named the "Providence Chapel" of Penknap

Joseph Deacon was a carpenter by profession, he was born, lived and died in and around Westbury. He married Mary Ann Harris at St Mary's Church Dilton 25th September 1794 and the couple produced eight children, however, it appears that four of their children were born before 1794. Of those children Noah and Samuel have been difficult to track but it is possible they didn't survive.
The census of 1841 shows Joseph and Mary were living in Chalford, Westbury, with their daughter Ann who had married Charles Doel. Ann had one daughter, Charlotte. James married Hester Bartlett in January 1808 and William married Mary Randal in 1812. Like their father before them, both earned their living as carpenters. William had one daughter Ann still living at home but James and Hester appear to be alone. Having said that the 1841 census is not specific when it come to house numbers and addresses. The next entry from James is Noah Deacon, his wife Mary and a one year old boy named James, everything points to this being James and Hester's son. The address written on the census form was simply Westbury Leigh. Joseph married Sarah Pearce in 1814 and they appear on the 1841 census living in Duke Street, Melksham, Trowbridge, Joseph's occupation is given as "clerk". In the 1851 census the family are still living in Duke Street, Melksham but Joseph is now a bookeeper. There is also a grandson living in, Joshua age 8.
Of all Joseph and Mary's children only Elizabeth is metioned in Joseph's will of 1844. He bequeathed all his "messuages or tenements lands and Hereditaments" to his wife Mary and in the event of her demise everything went to Elizabeth, no other child was mentioned. She was also to be the sole executor. Curiously Elizabeth married Robert Wring in Marylebone London February 14th 1825. In the census of 1841 she is living by "Independent Means" at Queen Ann Street, Cavendish Square, a far cry from the Wiltshire countryside. She appears to have missed the 1851 census but returns in 1861 to the town of her birth. Still living by "Independent Means" with her sister Ann Doel at The Hollow in Dilton Marsh, Westbury, a road that is still there today. Elizabeth died the following year age 71.

To celebrate the occasion, Future Archive Recordings is thrilled to present a joint release between the three artists titled 'Hermit Kingdom: Remixes'.

Blending hip-hop, shoegaze, jazz, downtempo, and psychedelic influences, among others, 'Hermit Kingdom: Remixes' manages to stand as a cohesive whole rather than as just another collection of remixes. While there are obvious common threads among the three artists, each brings a unique perspective on electronic music that shines in conjunction with the original material being remixed. Tony Simon, aka Blockhead, has been making and releasing utterly distinctive, funky and emotive music for the last two decades. Formerly signed to Ninja Tune, Blockhead's most recent album 'Funeral Balloons' was released in September 2017 via Backwoodz Studioz. Yppah (born Joe Corrales Jr.) has forged a career marked by ethereality and dynamism, brought up on equal parts My Bloody Valentine and hip-hop. His 2015 album 'Tiny Pause' was released courtesy of Ninja Tune imprint Counter Records. The electronic music duo Mirza Ramic and Max Lewis have been actively releasing music and touring worldwide as Arms and Sleepers since 2006. Their latest album 'Find The Right Place' was released via Pelagic Records in April 2018. _____________________________________________________________ Track Listing: 1.

Whether it's a bathroom for kids, for guests, or you're designing a compact master suite, small spaces shouldn't limit you from experimenting with some chic ideas.
We've searched the Livingetc archives for the best small bathroom ideas and inspiration, and have curated a mix of inspired solutions.
From floating sinks to sinks that double up as shelves, and wet room and shower room ideas to spa-inspired bathrooms, these carefully considered spaces make the most of their limited square footage.
Light bright colours make rooms appear larger, as do floor-to-ceiling tiles, and wet room layouts. You can't really go wrong with classic marble tiles, white metro tiled bathrooms or a monochrome bathroom look, but it can pay off to go for a bold approach with an adventurous tiled bathroom idea.
Avoid a bulky vanity, instead opting for a floating sink or a sink on legs or with open shelving. Or go for one of these stunning new collection modern basin designs.
Wall-mounted loos with built-in cisterns also help create more floor space, while also creating a handy alcove area above the loo for loo roll and bathroom accessories.
Create alcove shelving in shower spaces too, to keep soaps and sponges within arm's reach. Plus, they look incredibly chic.
Towel rails can look flush against a wall, and can also be mounted into alcoves, so that it's not encroaching on any personal space.
Natural light is also key to make a small space feel bigger, and skylights are a great option for when windows aren't enough.
There are so many ways in which you can make the most of even the smallest of bathroom spaces — without sacrificing an inch of style. Whatever kind of inspiration you're looking for, there's a small bathroom idea for everyone.

After Ryan flew to Maryland to pick up our new truck on Monday of last week, he flew to a meeting of the Garden State Craft Brewers Guild at Departed Soles Brewing Company in Jersey City. The recent snowfall made it difficult for some members to make it, but 25 intrepid soles braved the elements. Here's what went down:
- Executive Director Don Russell gave his report, including news on this year's beer festivals. Brews by the Bay fans should mark their calendars — the 2016 event will take place on September 10.
- Eric Orlando of the Kaufman Zita Group gave the legislative report. Remember those three bills that would allow for greater job creation within the industry? Since they weren't put to a vote before the new year, they had to be resubmitted. Now, we're waiting for them to be assigned to committee.
- Jeremy "Flounder" Lees of Flounder Brewing Co gave the membership report: 38 limited breweries, 11 restricted breweries, 1 contract brewer, 19 in planning, and 21 allied trade. Boom.
- Ryan — Guild Prez — went over the importance of the Guild's Best Practices document. "I want to make sure all of our members are marching to the same beat," he says. "If we're not regulating ourselves, it makes it difficult to negotatie, and difficult to to advocate for legislation."
- Ryan also discussed his plans for the upcoming Guild meeting, being held April 4 at Flying Fish. Neighboring guilds from Maryland, Delaware and Pennsylvania will be invited to attend a presentation given by Matt Stinchfield, Safety Ambassador for the Brewers Association, about affordable practices that can improve well-being in the brewhouse. "There are a lot of people getting into the craft brewing business who have no manufacturing experience, and now they're tasked with operating heavy machinery and working with dangerous chemicals," Ryan says. "We're fortunate enough to have a safety manager on staff, but not everyone has that. I don't want to see anyone hurt. The party can end real quick if you're not careful."
- Three new brewery openings were announced, including Slacktide in Cape May County, Dark City in Asbury Park, and (almost launched) Alementary in Hackettstown.
- Everyone was reminded to sign up for the Craft Brewers Conference, coming at you May 3-6 in Philadelphia. We'll be there.
- Meeting adjorned. Everyone enjoyed snacks and tasty beer.

A Christian wedding photographer filed a suit last week against a Louisville, Ky., ordinance that would force her to photograph same-sex weddings and that even prevents her from posting her religious beliefs on her website.
Alliance Defending Freedom (ADF) filed the suit in federal court on behalf of Chelsey Nelson, who owns a studio, Chelsey Nelson Photography, that specializes in photographing, editing and blogging about weddings.
The Louisville ordinance makes it unlawful "for a person to deny an individual the full and equal enjoyment of the goods, services, facilities, privileges, advantages, and accommodations of a place of public accommodation, … on the ground of … sexual orientation," according to the suit.
The lawsuit says the Louisville ordinance violates the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech and free exercise of religion, as well as the Fourteenth Amendment's guarantee of due process. The suit also says the ordinance violates the First Amendment's establishment clause because it would force her to participate "in religious exercises" that aren't consistent with her beliefs. Further, the suit says the law violates the Kentucky Religious Freedom Restoration Act.
Nelson is a Christian whose religious beliefs "shape her business, her art, and her creativity," the suit says.
"Chelsey believes that God designed marriage as a gift to people of all faiths, races, and backgrounds and that God ordained marriage to be a covenant between one man and one woman," the suit says. "Chelsey's views on marriage come from her personal interpretation of the Bible and the denominational teachings of the Southern Baptist Convention and her church."
