text: Cerda, Otto John 3/22/1926 - 8/13/2019 Kalamazoo, Michigan Otto died on August 13, 2019 in Kalamazoo after an extended struggle with vascular dementia at the age of 93. He was born in Cushing, Oklahoma, on March 22, 1926, one of eight children of Luciano and Juanita (Torres) Cerda. The family emigrated from Mexico, moved north and eventually settled in the Grand Rapids, Michigan, area. Otto met his future wife, Elisabeth (Betty) Sindelar, in Steyr, Austria, while on active duty during WW II. He was part of the Occupation Forces and assigned to the Public Safety Office where Betty worked as an interpreter and translator. The couple was engaged in 1946 and Betty came to the United States under the War Brides Act the following year. They were married in Grand Rapids on August 2, 1947. In 1951 the Cerdas moved to the Portage area where they lived for the next 62 years before moving to Wyndham at the Heritage Community in Kalamazoo. Otto graduated from Grand Rapids Catholic Central High School, attended Grand Rapids Junior College and Aquinas College. He received a BA and MA in Education, Guidance and Counseling from Western Michigan University in 1951. After teaching at Vicksburg, MI, for three years, Otto moved to Portage Central High School where he taught English, Spanish, and Social Studies before becoming a full-time guidance counselor. He was a favorite among his students. Otto retired in 1987 after 33 years with the Portage school system. He was very active in teachers' organizations at the local, state and national level as a member of NEA and MEA. At the PEA level he assisted in the first teacher's contract negotiations. He was a member of the American Personnel & Guidance Association and the Michigan Counsellors Association. Otto was a veteran of World War II, serving with the 26" Infantry Division in Europe. He was awarded two campaign stars, the Combat Infantry Badge and the Bronze Star. In 1974 he retired as a Major from the US Army Reserve 415" Civil Affairs Company in Kalamazoo, MI. He also was a graduate of the five-year Army Command and General Staff College at Fort Leavenworth, KA. Otto and his wife loved to travel, returning annually to Austria, Betty's native country. They both liked camping, hiking and backpacking in the mountains. In his free time he liked to read and keep up on current events. He was a regular golfer and a member of the weekly teachers' bowling league. The family wishes to thank Hospice of SW Michigan for their support during a difficult time. Otto is survived by his wife of 72 years, one sister, a devoted niece, Carol Perschbacher, and her husband, John, as well as his extended family. Cremation was arranged by Avink Funeral Home and Cremation Society in Schoolcraft, MI. Burial will take place at Ft. Custer National Cemetery, Battle Creek, MI at a later date. Those who wish, may make contributions to Hospice of SW Michigan. The family is being served by Avink Funeral Home and Cremation Society Portage Chapel. Please visit www.avinkcremation.com to share a memory with the family.

There have been plenty of NCAA schools bringing in or expanding beer sales recently, and Butler is the latest. As per David Woods of The Indianapolis Star, the Bulldogs have already been serving alcohol in special donor hospitality areas, and now they'll be expanding that to all of Hinkle Fieldhouse for basketball games. And that could later be expanded to other sports:
You can now buy a beer at Butler basketball games in Hinkle Fieldhouse.
The university announced Wednesday that alcohol will be sold at concession stands and select temporary locations beginning with Saturday's game against Saint Louis. Beer sales will begin when doors open – 90 minutes before tipoff – and end at the under-12-minute media timeout of the second half.
…Those buying alcohol will have their ID checked by a vendor. There will be a limit of two beers per transaction.
Alcohol was already being served in the Wildman Room and Efroymson Family Gym. Alcohol is not allowed to leave those respective hospitality areas for donors and guests.
Butler students age 21 and older must have ID checked at the student entrance and receive a wristband. Those wearing wristbands are allowed to have one beer at any given time.
Similar procedures will be followed for other Butler sports events, according to the announcement.
This came after the university applied for an alcohol permit in September. At that time, athletic director Barry Collier said they'd received support for the plan from residents who live nearby.
"Butler has communicated this plan to those who live near campus and the permit application has been supported by the Butler Tarkington Neighborhood Association. Butler is committed to maintaining the exciting and positive gameday experience that our fans and their families enjoy for all contests that take place on our campus."
Beer sales at university games have expanded dramatically across the U.S. in the last couple of years, and it generally seems to have worked out pretty well. There's an extra revenue opportunity there for schools, and as long as the servers are careful not to sell to anyone already too inebriated, it doesn't seem to have too many negative impacts on the fan experience or on the on-court action. And it seems likely Butler will be far from the last to do this.

Changing the face of our town via consultation and monitoring
Biggleswade Town Plan Reports
The Report, was adopted by the Biggleswade Town Council in December 2010.
The Summary Report has been delivered to every household in Biggleswade; it is available HERE. The Full Report is AVAILABLE HERE available here and printed copies are available in the Town Council Offices, Central Bedfordshire Offices and Biggleswade Library. They have also been sent to Stakeholders.
The report represents the views of the people who live and work in Biggleswade and notes what they wish to retain, and what they wish to see enhanced, in this historic market town. At each stage of the process the group (BTPSG) have shared the information gleaned from residents with the Officers at Central Bedfordshire Council in order peoples views have been fed into the Town Centre Master Plan that they have been working towards.
The report is to be a "living document" and the BTPSG continue to monitor progress of the actions identified. Some are being acted on, such as a roundabout scheme at Sun Street / Shortmead Street by Central Bedfordshire Council, but there is a distinct lack of action! A Good Neighbour Scheme by the Bedfordshire Rural Communities Charity (BRCC).
The BTPSG will continue to meet in order to monitor that all the actions are taken into consideration by both the Town Council and Central Bedfordshire Council when making their decisions on future projects in Biggleswade.
Town Plan Consultation Items
Here are some items from the last consultation that we held in the Town Hall and results from the earlier questionnaire:

Debt Solutions: Coming out of the never-ending circle of financial loans is next to impossible. Dont get concerned about debt problems , as we give you excellent personal debt consolidation service. We will give the answers to all your concerns about debt consolidation , that will simplify it. It will be easy to make the perfect decision once youve been informed with all of the primary knowledge.
Need as well as reason for debt consolidation .
The larger loan that one takes , so that he pays off all his different smaller loans is termed debt consolidation. Debt consolidation might not look beneficial option, yet there are benefits. Look at it in this way , if you have to pay off small installments of your past loan , youll start paying a lot of interest which can raise the overall amount by a whole lot. Debt consolidation helps pay off all these loans in one shot and hence the interest payable is very little. That alone is a direct advantage. If you have some other resources , then the arrangement you are offered is perhaps better.
How one can get approved for debt consolidation.
The notion is to make certain that the burden of loans which was paid back , should not grow. The loan only gets a sanction after all the stipulations are satisfied , in line with the rules for debt consolidation.
The very first thing that determines whether or not you can obtain debt consolidation loan is your salary. You should be in the position of paying back the loan amount. Every organization has different terms in this regard. There exists a set ratio between loan and salary that must definitely be fulfilled. One of the conditions to acquire debt consolidation loan is the individual must have a minimum of 15% of his income as disposable income.
The past credit history is the other essential requirement to agree to the loan. The cash we are talking about is a huge chunk , and therefore the company giving it to you ought to confirm that you are in a position to repay it. This is determined by your payment record. This basically indicates , how reliable you have been before with settlement. You dont need to get disturbed about this part , have you been repaying all your financial loans and liabilities and monthly bills in a regular manner.
Debt Solutions: One more criterion deciding if you will get the loan is your job security and your house. If you have not switched over your job in the last 12 months and are also living in the exact same residence , you will have an added benefit in having your loan approved. This ascertains your vision and outlook for life , if you can be doing the job and living in the very same place for over a year , you have got a specific maturity and this raises your chances of paying back of the loan in due time.
Another requirement of preference is the amount of assets you have. Your possibilities of availing the loan are still high as this criterion will never have an effect on the process though.
However , its apparent that owning a home raises the chances of you acquiring the loan.
Since you have a whole idea regarding debt consolidation and the procedure , dont spend your time and avail our debt consolidation service instantly. Debt Solutions Visit Us Without Hesitation in Toronto ON Apply Now.

AG Caldwell Busts Members of Romanian
Organized Crime Ring Operating in Acadiana
LAFAYETTE, LA — Seven people have been arrested today on felony racketeering charges for participating in an online sales scam, announced Attorney General Buddy Caldwell. The suspects are believed to be members and affiliates of Romanian organized crime.
The arrested individuals are charged with felony racketeering for stealing approximately $1.4 million from more than 500 people who were victimized by an international enterprise designed to unknowingly redirect online shoppers away from websites like eBay and Craigslist. Shoppers instead would end up at spoof, imitation sites where they would attempt to purchase items including automobiles. Shoppers were then instructed to submit payments to the alleged sellers through money service businesses such as MoneyGram and Western Union. After the payments were made, the alleged sellers would stop communicating with buyers and never deliver the items.
Attorney General Caldwell said, "Scammers target anyone and everyone so it's important to guard your personal information, especially when shopping online." Caldwell added, "In this case, we have an organized effort from overseas that affects thousands of people each year. These criminals will be held fully accountable."

Motion and Kinetic energy
Environment around us is full of sources of kinetic energy such as the locomotion of living beings, acoustic and audible signals, moving systems and machines and vibrations in nature like earthquakes.
Mechanical vibrations are a rich source of kinetic energy as far as quantity and availability. Vibrations are found in bridges, highways, engines, natural geological vibrations, sea waves, and human locomotion, all of these can serve as a source of vibrations and kinetic energy to be harvested.
Understanding Mechanical Vibrations
Vibrations are periodic motions of an object, such that motion will repeat itself at time interval T. The vibration profile of an object is defined in terms of the amplitude Xo and frequency "ω" of the harmonic motion it performs:
where x(t) is the displacement of the object as a function of time t.
Figure 6 An example of Displacement – Time profile of a vibrating body
The time-history of a vibrating body may consist of a fundamental, deterministic tone, or multiple tones, or aperiodic chaotic motion, or stochastic motion. Spectrum analysis can be applied to the time-history of vibrations, such as FFT, to identify the frequency components in the history, the so called "Harmonics".
Factors affecting the kinetic energy in vibrations
Three factors affect the kinetic energy in a mechanical oscillator (a vibrating object):
- The mass m of the vibrating body: is proportional to input kinetic energy and therefore should be maximized.
- Stiffness k of the oscillator: defines the center frequency of vibrations.
- Mechanical damping c in the oscillator: defines the fraction of input energy lost.
A schematic of a mechanical oscillator is shown in figure 7.
Figure 7 A spring-mass-damper oscillator
Types of Mechanical Vibrations
Vibrations are classified according to:
- Energy source: in to free and forced vibrations.
- Energy leakage: into undamped and damped vibrations.
Each of these conditions has its equation of motion and parameters resulting in a different system response, for energy harvesting we are interested in free vibrations either damped or undamped which we are going to discuss.
1- Free – Undamped vibrations
Considering the mass and spring shown in figure 7 only, the forces acting on this system at equilibrium are the weight and spring force:
where xi is the static equilibrium position.
If the mass undergoes free vibrations due to any external disturbance, the mass m will start oscillating up and down away from the static position xi, according to the equation of motion:
where x is displacement with respect to the static equilibrium position xi.
The natural frequency ω of this oscillator where the energy level is maximum can be written as:
Practically, damping will exist and due to damping oscillations will decay and die over time. Taking damping into consideration in the equation of motion, results in a n exponential decay in vibration. According to the damping level, we can identify three classes of system response:
- Over – damped systems: where damping dominates the system response "killing" vibrations and allowing the system to settle down gradually to its equilibrium position.
- Under – damped systems: where kinetic energy dominates the system response resulting in persistent oscillations as the motion in the system decay and die over long time.
- Critically-damped systems: where damping and kinetic energy are "balanced" resulting in fast settling down of the system into its equilibrium position.
3- Forced-Damped Vibration
In forced vibrations an external force or excitation is applied to the system to force it to vibrate. In the absence of damping, continuous energy supply through forcing leads the system to blow-up if the forcing is high enough to reach the resonance of the oscillator and, therefore, is not of energy interest. On the other hand, in the presence of damping the oscillator's equation of motion can be written as:
Summarizing all types of vibrations:
Building Vibrations based Energy Harvester
To harvest energy from vibrations in the environment, we need a suitable transduction mechanism as we discussed previously and an appropriate mechanical design that will hold and interact with the transducer to harvest energy.
Two main mechanical structures are commonly used by researchers to build vibrations based energy harvesters along with different transduction mechanisms discussed previously:
- Mass – spring – damper mechanical structure.
- Cantilever – beam mechanical structure.
Choosing the suitable mechanical structure depends mainly on the environment the harvester will operate in, since there are two main parameters in the operating environment affect the overall performance and amount of energy to be harvested: resonance (natural) frequency of the vibrations you are harvesting from energy and the bandwidth of frequency the harvester can operate within.
Mass – Spring – Damper structure
Mass-spring-damper structures are very popular in building vibrations based harvesters because of their simplicity. The model representing this class of harvesters has been extensively researched and validated. The simplest design in this class is a mass mounted to a vertically aligned spring attached to a source of vibrations as shown in figure 2.1. When external vibrations are applied to the base support of the spring, the mass will move up and down according to the equation of motion:
where x is the relative displacement with respect to the base of the mass from its static equilibrium position.
The center frequency fo of the harvester depends on the natural frequency of the oscillator:
In figure 8, the energy harvester designed by Amirtharajah et al. [1] is shown. It uses a mass-on-spring and electromagnetic transduction to harvest vibrations from human body motion to power medical sensors implanted or placed on the surface of the human body. They achieved a center frequency of fo = 94 Hz and an output power of 400 µW.
Mann et. al. [2] design used a mass-on-spring harvester, figure [9], that uses a magnetic mass and magnets placed at both ends of a tube to serve as springs. Each of the end magnets has a pole identical to that of the magnetic mass facing it. They calculated the center frequency of the harvester as fo = 5.12 Hz and were able to demonstrate an output power up to 200 mW.
Mahmoud et. al. [3] design, in figure 10, for a horizontal motion electrostatic VEH is using an implicit mass-on-spring structure, the VEH uses two silicon dioxide coated electrodes, one is mounted on the fixed ceiling of the VEH and the other electrode is on the moving mass, the output voltage of 0.85v was achieved at a center frequency of 2 Hz.

Beam – Support structure
Beam-support structures are the other common class of energy harvesters. Most of these harvesters use either cantilever or guided-end beams to support a seismic mass and/or a coil. The beams in this case behave as springs and add to the seismic mass. Cantilever beam-based, figure 11, energy harvesters are widely used. The stiffness of a cantilever beam spring is calculated using the formula
where E is Young's modulus describing the strength of the material, I is the second moment of area of the beam cross-section, and L is the beam length.
Figure 11 Basic Beam – Support structure
Sari et. al. [4] design used a coil mounted on top of a cantilever beam surface facing magnet poles, figure [12], once the cantilever beam is under excitation voltage starts to induce in the coil, achieving center frequency between 3.5 – 4.5 KHz depending on beam length and maximum output power of 0.4µW Beeby et. al. [5] design used a coil mounted to the beam free end facing two magnet poles, figure [13], achieving center frequency between 52.1 – 53.2 KHz and maximum output power of 45.8 µW.

Signal Conditioning
The ability of energy harvesters to supply power on demand and in DC form is essential to their successful commercial deployment. On the other hand, the input power from the environment to micro-energy harvesters is intermittent and low. Therefore, an important challenge in the design of micro-energy harvesters is to rectify and store output power in order to guarantee stable, continuous and sufficient supply of power. Further, electromagnetic energy harvesting encounter and additional challenge since its output voltage is on the order of a few to a few hundreds of mili-volts. As a result, three stages of electronic solutions are used to address these challenges:
- Using a charge-pump DC – DC converter, voltage multiplier, or a transformer to boost the output voltage to meet the requirements of electronic power supply and increase the efficiency of rectification circuits.
- Using full-wave or half-wave rectifier bridge circuits to rectify the output of the harvester and stabilize it to a constant level.
- Using a rechargeable battery or a super capacitor to store DC power. The battery or super capacitor will then act as the supply to the target system while the harvester charges the storage element instead of powering the target system directly.
The basic block diagram of an energy harvesting system is shown in figure 14.
Figure [14] Basic design of an Energy harvesting system
Build your own VEH
Here are few steps to build simple homemade electromagnetic vibrations/motion energy harvester, you will need the following components:
– Magnetic wire: an isolated copper wire similar to the one used in electric motors and solenoids.
– Plastic tube (around 12-15 cm long).
– A cylindrical magnet (or ball shape).
– Two rubber end stoppers.
Second, wound the magnetic wire around the plastic tube, let the magnetic wire cover most of the plastic tube length, insert the magnet inside the tube and enclose tube ends with the rubber end stoppers as in figure 15, shake it now and measure the voltage across the magnetic wire, have fun J

Vettel Not Worried About Ferrari Despite Kvyat and Giovinazzi Exits
Ferrari driver Sebastian Vettel is confident that his team will not be adversely affected by the departures of Antonio Giovinazzi and Daniil Kvyat. The Italian and the Russia moved on from their development roles to get F1 seats elsewhere for the 2019 season.
Giovinazzi was Ferrari's reserve driver in 2018, while Kvyat took up a simulator role for the Maranello squad. They both played vital roles in developing the car during the 2018 campaign with their feedback and testing.
Now, Giovinazzi will ply his trade at Sauber (though he is still under contract at Ferrari). He will partner F1 veteran and 2007 champion Kimi Raikkonen. The Finn is another driver who has left Ferrari for the 2019 season. Meanwhile, the 25-year-old Italian drove two races for Sauber already back in 2017 when Pascal Wehrlein was unfit to drive. However, he didn't exactly meet much success.
As for Kvyat, he is on his third stint for Toro Rosso. The Russian was axed from the team in 2017, which prompted his move to Ferrari. Now, though, Toro Rosso have accepted Kvyat back for another chance,.
"Personally, I'm not a fan of the simulator because it's just not fun," Vettel told Crash.net about the simulation work Kvyat and Giovinazzi did.
"But you get the point, it is very important, it is an important tool. Based on our findings, we change the car, it is better and we were happier. We're extremely thankful for the guys, taking in the time because it's not the nicest job on Friday night, especially when you're young, but it's important, it all adds up.
"Everybody plays his part and in the end we have the honour to have the steering wheel in our hands and drive the machine that we all try to create and reach out with performance. For next year, it's true, we take a step but I think we will find people that fit in very well and very quickly so I'm confident we will have a strong team on that front as well next year."

Collaboration with K-State researchers helps farmers fine tune their inputs, management and yields
MANHATTAN, Kan. – Saline County farmer Justin Knopf has no problem trying something new. Make that … a lot of somethings new. A K-State agronomy graduate, Knopf, along with his brother and father, grows wheat, alfalfa, soybeans, grain sorghum, corn and multi-specie cover crops in a dryland, no-till environment.
The Knopfs are collaborating with K-State agronomy assistant professor Andres Patrignani on a project that uses new sensor technology to develop soil-moisture based on management zones within a field.
"Like most of Kansas, we farm in a water-limited environment, so the amount of water that soil can effectively capture and store is a good predictor for potential productivity," Knopf said. "The ability to divide a field into management zones based on soil moisture would allow farmers to manage each zone more precisely, making the most of the water we receive."
In work with K-State Research and Extension agronomist Ignacio Ciampitti, the Knopfs are using satellite imagery during the growing season to predict crop yields at harvest. The results look promising, Knopf said.
"This is useful for quantifying varying levels of productivity within a field, which will allow us to divide the field into management zones to more precisely manage each area of the field," he said. "It is also helpful for discovering a problem area within a field earlier than we may find it through scouting or visual observations, which may allow us to be more proactive in solving the problem before it causes more damage."
When the family was considering expanding cover crops on their operation, K-State helped design an experiment, monitor weed levels to quantify suppression from the cover crop, and statistically analyze the data.
"K-State is collaborating with not only our farm on these projects and, of course, many others, but replicating the same projects on a number of farms across the state," Knopf said. "The data and outcomes on other farms is also valuable and relevant to our farm, which is yet another layer of value in the relationship and collaboration between K-State and Kansas farmers."

The German government met to pass a historic €750bn (£683bn) stimulus package on Wednesday 25 March to mitigate the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic and help companies survive, and safeguard jobs and livelihoods.
It remains to be seen, however, whether the measures will be able to boost the confidence of company bosses, which is now at its lowest level since the financial crisis in 2008/2009.
The Ifo Institute released its monthly business morale index today. It showed a drastic slump in the business climate in Europe's largest economy in March, dropping to to 86.1 from 96 in February.
"This is the steepest fall recorded since German reunification and the lowest value since July 2009," Ifo president Clemens Fuest said in a statement. "The German economy is in shock."
An economist from the Ifo institute told Reuters that the German economy could shrink by as much as 20% this year, depending on how long the country remained on coronavirus-lockdown.

ING Germany chief economist Carsten Brzeski noted that during the financial crisis, the German economy contracted in four consecutive quarters with an accumulated loss of 7%, but could contract by that much now in two quarters, or "in a worst-case scenario even in a single quarter."
Brzeski estimates that even if the country-wide shutdown were to be lifted gradually after the Easter holidays, the economy would still shrink by more than 4% year-on-year in 2020: "The longer the lockdown lasts, the more the size of the contraction will resemble numbers normally only seen in emerging economies — simply unprecedented."
Covid-19 cases top 33,000
The number of confirmed coronavirus cases in Germany has now hit 33,000, according to Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Research Center. Despite the very high number of infections, there have only been 164 deaths from the virus so far.
Lothar Wieler, head of the Robert Koch Institute which monitors the virus in Germany, said that it was "still totally unclear how the epidemic would develop" and that it was too early to say if the new social isolation measures were having an effect. Germany now bans all but essential movement outside the house, and meetings of more than two people.
Experts have attributed Germany's comparatively very low mortality rate partly to the fact that the country began testing extensively early on, when the virus first arrived in the country, and partly to the fact that the first wave of cases were among younger people, many of whom had returned from winter-sports holidays in Europe and recovered.

Unlike in Italy, young German people tend not to live near or with their parents, which could also be a factor in terms of spreading the disease to the vulnerable elderly population.
However, the Robert Koch Institute expects the death toll to rise considerably in the coming weeks. This week the government announced funding to almost double the amount of emergency room beds; currently there are around 28,000 in the whole country.

Great customer service, I got the premium bed liner sprayed in and looks amazing! Haven't put anything heavy in it yet so I will update my review after that. The only thing I wasn't happy about is they put a sticker on my brand new truck. It wasn't on all the way so it kinda peeled off and they put it on the window.. not my paint.. So I'm glad for that!!
Often go over and above to satisfy customers. Travis is the man!

Trans-Siberian Destination Kazan
The Trans-Siberian's Unsung Destinations - Kazan
Most people have heard of St Petersburg, Moscow and Beijing and many are aware that the highlight stops along the Trans-Siberian include Ekaterinburg, Irkutsk and Lake Baikal and Ulaanbaatar as a launch pad for a trip into the Mongolian grasslands. However, what other cities are there which are well worth a stopover of a few days?
Our first choice would be Kazan – exotic capital of the Republic of Tatarstan which sounds like it should be more Central Asian than Russian but is on one of the Trans-Siberian lines and located half way between Moscow and Ekaterinburg. Kazan has long been a strategically placed city at the confluence of the Volga and Kazanka rivers and is today the eighth most populous city in Russia with well over 1 million inhabitants in this 1,000 year old city.
Don't Miss Kazan's Unique Kremlin
Kazan's highlight is the impressive Kremlin which is not only an UNESCO World Heritage Site but is unique in that it contains both an Orthodox church and a Mosque symbolizing the peacefulness and mutual respect between the city's Muslim and Christian communities. The Kremlin was once a Tartar fortress and has a superb strategic location on a hill by the river making for a very picturesque sight. A tour to the Kremlin is included in all our Kazan stopovers.
Kazan as host city for the 2018 World Cup
The city centre is also an attractive place to to walk with the largely pedestrianized Bauman Street the social centre of the city with the best shops, cafes and bars as well as many beautifully restored buildings funded by the provinces oil wealth. The city is lively due to it's large university population and has a reputation of being a "Sports City" in Russia as it will be hosting the Universiade in 2013 and is also a host city for the Football World Cup in 2018 which should really put it on the map.
We at The Trans-Siberian Travel Company recommend a 2 night stopover tour in Kazan and you can see more details of a typical tour program by clicking here. We also have a section in our destinations guide which you can view by clicking here.
We at The TransSiberian Travel Company look forward to helping you reach Kazan.

Since it is April 15th - Tax Day, I thought I would send out some thoughts and facts about taxes. The Tax Foundation each year calculates "Tax Freedom Day." The day on which taxpaying Americans will have earned enough to pay their Federal, State and Local tax obligation. That day was last week on April 9th; however this only takes into account the actual taxes estimated to be collected. If they include the actual amount expected to be paid (this means the extra $1.3 billion dollars of deficit spending this year, it would exactly be May 17th (so keep working to pay that extra amount).
Meanwhile, the
And finally the national debt is currently running about $13 trillion, which amounts to about $116,000 per each taxpaying citizen.
So as we say in the business, "Happy Returns."

It was rather a 'WTF?' moment when I first received this birthday present from my friend Variegated,
thankfully it turned out to be a new type of mushroom growing kit.
Unlike other mushroom kits I've had in the past this one actually produces mushrooms!
Slowly at first..
then bigger and bigger.
Harvest size at last. While we were, according to the packet, growing oyster mushrooms, we were happy to have shimeji mushrooms instead!
PS TB tells me that the best crop of mushrooms he ever kept was a kit that lived under his desk in the office – just goes to show how closely working conditions follow that old saying about mushrooms 'kept in the dark and fed on..' you know what.

Waiting for Winter: Vancouver's Top Snow Activities
It has been both raining and hailing this past week. Vancouver's daunting grey clouds have predictably arrived to monopolize our city's skies for the next little while. My favorite trails have turned to mud, the best climbing bluffs are wet and cold, and it's a little too blustery for a leisurely scuba dive. My dog hates being wet, so even a short walk in the rain ends with me turning right around after a mere two blocks, whining puppy in arms. Needless to say, I'm certain that I am not the only Vancouverite going stir crazy at home, waiting anxiously for one thing: snow.
Snow brings a slew of broken trees and branches, unavoidable traffic, and unpleasant piles of former flakes turned disgusting colors of black and brown. However, snow also brings a whole slew of awesome outdoor activities that will make this city fun again. Living on the North Shore, I was informed this weekend by at least a dozen sales clerks, neighbors, and baristas that Grouse Mountain finally opened on Friday; news that presumably every North Shore (and Vancouver) resident already knows.
Albeit only Paradise Bowl and Greenway Chair have opened on Grouse Mountain, it's only a preview of what's to come next with the opening of the whole mountain. Whistler Blackcomb also opened one day later this past weekend, on Saturday November 14th. I am wholly unprepared for this past weekend's winter mountain openings, with neither a pass for Blackcomb nor Grouse (nor Cypress or Seymour for that matter). However, when more snow finally does fall there is much more to look forward to than the opening of more runs.
Personally, I'm a big fan of snow tubing (not to be confused with tobogganing.) Snow tubing is fabulous fun where you sit in a large inner tube and slide down a hill. This fun can be had most places with snow on hills and mountains such as Cypress Mountain and Seymour Mountain. I also have my winter eyes set on cross-country skiing. I've heard good things about a particular cross country ski trip on Cypress Mountain taking you to a lodge that sells hot chocolate. Never having tried this particular sport, the hot chocolate definitely sold me. Let's not forget snow shoeing, which is available to do on all three North Shore mountains. I have also heard rumors that dog-sledding excursions are available just two hours away in Whistler. Is dog-sledding a typical winter activity in Vancouver? No. It is, however, on my bucket list.
Whether you plan on making your way down the mountain on skis, a snowboard, a tube, a toboggan, or even by dog sled, one thing remains clear. It is time to get ready because winter and her snow are just around the corner.

I just came back from Dubai Mall, and would like to report on some of my findings.
Most shops have updated all their in-store prices instead of adding a tax price on the final bill. And in every case, the price increases are significantly more than 5%. This is very obvious in electronics stores, such as Virgin Megastore and Sharaf DG. One example: Most triple-A PS4/Xbox One games were 269 Dhs before January, now they are 299 Dhs. Almost a 10% mark up. Shocking. I checked the price of the other electronics, and the mark up was the same there too.
Why is this allowed? In every other country that charges taxes, it's usually a flat rate added at the end of the bill. So far, the only shops doing flat rates in Dubai are restaurants and supermarkets.
Dubai | 👁 1653 | Posted February 8, 2018 | Share on Facebook | Twitter | Google+| Modified: February 8, 2018 | Author: VatCalculatorOnline
The canteen at work has hiked everything. You are right stores have used this and increased prices in the VAT blanket hoping we consumers don't notice. Please report all price hikes I shall as well. There was a ministry setup for consumer rights, time to give them some work.
the question is: when the VAT becomes 20% and the income tax is 15% what can we do to make our voices get heard? Clearly the memes aren't working.. /s
No more shawarma :(
This doesn't make sense. Why would they charge you less at the cashier than what is displayed - if anything, it should be the other way around.
Yup, many stores are like this. I've seen increases of 15% on stuff. :( Thankful I stocked up on a lot of things before 2018 rang in, but eventually we'll have to pay it sooner or later.
I think most people saw this coming. This is UAE of all places
This! Happened to my shawarma too!
" it's usually a flat rate added at the end of the bill." only in countries like America where taxes are added at the till. In Europe, prices have to be all inclusive of all charges, fees, taxes, etc. The price you see on the shelf is the price you pay at the till (got caught out once in New year when buying a camera - Sales Tax!, but sure why's it's not built into the display price as pretty much everyone pays it).
So far, the only shops doing flat rates in Dubai are restaurants I paid 1.50 for aed 1 cup of tea. But I was informed by the guy at my regular tea shop that the price will remain at 1 till they get a notice from the authorities. He expects the price to be 1.25, but since 25 fils is tough to get, it will become 1.50. Actually tea price earlier was 75 fils, but was rounded to 1 due to 25 fils shortage. Some shops increased their cup size to charge aed 1. My shawarma hiked by 20%, 5 to 6.
Also don't forget that implementing a VAT structure has several costs for the business: updating inventories, re-printing menus (e.g. a restaurant), update websites, pay accountants, VAT software, training etc. I'm not entire sure about this, but it seems that there's no benefit or advantage derived from VAT for a vendor. So in other words, it's an extra hassle that business have to pay for. I don't condone who takes advantage of these events to ramp up the prices, but don't expect a simple 5% increase.
It's not an excuse. Smaller stores have to account for accounts. People who never had to consider financial matters now have to go out and get audited and get their software updated. Those are upfront costs.
I was in Sharaf DG on 30th Dec and a Belkin charging mat was priced at AED 400. I asked the lady why it was so pricey and she said it included VAT, but the price I would pay at the counter would be AED 365 only. How is that a 5% increase? Do people not know how math is supposed to work?
not have to do some mental gymnastic each time to add a percentage Most people can add 5% to a bill and users here are upset as prices now have to include VAT, so shops can hide price increase. What these people do not understand is that the government is going to introduce different VAT rates for different goods and services. Only then will they see the benefit of having VAT inclusive prices and not having to remember the different rates for everything.
Why is this allowed? In every other country that charges taxes, it's usually a flat rate added at the end of the bill Because VAT here is based on the UK model where VAT is included in the price. This makes sense as in the UK the percentage of VAT can be exempt, 0%, 5% or 20% (other EU countries like Ireland have 7 VAT rates) and this means consumers don't have to remember the VAT rate for each individual product or service While in Dubai only has 1 VAT rate now, by 2020, we can expect to have at least one more VAT rate. One rate for basic goods (milk, bread, meat, toothpaste etc.) and another rate for luxury goods (sweets, chocolate, cars etc.).
USA is always the rare exception. They dont like to roll with others apparently. 100 dhs is whats displayed next to the product, you go to the counter, the total magically becomes 110 dhs.
But we only get a bill/receipt after paying.
given an excuse like vat to increase prices, most sellers will exploit and pump up prices. i believe that market in sometime will put this in check over time. end of the day though it's the customer's decision whether he pays that price. thank you for this post for spreading awareness.
As per the FTA the TAX registration number should be on the bill /invoice, otherwise do not pay and just call 600545555
Can you not report them on the Ahlan hotline? From reading the articles in the press at the end of last year, they are not allowed to increase the prices more than 5%. Call them and raise a complaint and they might send inspectors. How much of an impact it will have, who knows!
As per the law the price displayed should include the VAT and be the price at the cashier. If a shop tried to add VAT on top of the displayed price at the cashier. Do report them to the ministry. Most European country do it like that. I cant think of any that doesn't. I know it's mandatory in France. At the end it's easier for people to see the price they have to pay when they look at an item and not have to do some mental gymnastic each time to add a percentage.
This is NOT normal in Europe. In the UK, VAT is added as a flat percent at the end of the bill, in most stores. Even in the US with their sales tax. It's funny also how you say adding a flat percent is "misleading", so I suppose that makes 10%+ markups on everything okay to you? Also, it's absolutely within the government's power to compel all stores to add a flat percent on the final bill. Doing it that way might have prevented all the far larger markups.
Showing price including VAT is less misleading to the consumer, so I dont see an issue with this. Also in Europe this is normal. Perhaps not in the US. "Why is this allowed". There is no law saying how much a playstation game should be priced at. If you want this, then move to Venezuela.

1 Samuel 16:1-13
How encouraging is this! God is not like man in that He looks at outward appearances. On the contrary, God is concerned about how we look on the inside. It's not what is physically can be seen, but it's what comes out of our mouths and actions; precisely our motives. God looks at our character. He looks at the heart and mind.
This is a very encouraging word for me. I don't have to be popular, wealthy, good-looking, physically fit, highly intelligent, etc. No, God looks at our faith and trust in Him; our integrity.
Lord God help us, Your people to be a devout people of integrity. May the words of our lips; and meditations of our hearts find favor before You, our Rock and Redeemer. In Jesus Name. Amen.

★★★★★ - "Independent Home had more of the things I needed and wanted. As far as reviews go, they're more of everything than most of the other ones. The sales reps were very nice. I had a couple and they were good salesmen. However, I was disappointed when they were gone and their part was over. Then there came another part that we've no longer negotiated with and had the people reinstalled it. Furthermore, on the installation, I was under the impression that I had to be satisfied and they were under the impression that they were doing what they were paid just to do and that was it. It was a pleasant experience but just like everything, there's just some things that can't work out with one end as it does with the other end. Nevertheless, I'm happy and would recommend them."

Whether you're a newly opened business or you've been established for awhile, it's important to have a presence on social media. For many businesses, this means they rely on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram to broaden their audience and inform guests about new deals and specials. Facebook is usually the platform that is most recommended for businesses because it is the most comprehensive at this time. Did you know that you can use Facebook marketing strategies to gain conversions? Got your attention? Let's find out how.
One of the most important things to do once you have a Business Facebook page set up is to look at your audience insights. These insights will tell you about who currently likes your page and their demographics. Facebook lets us know everything from their age to gender to education level to device to their shopping habits, and more. These insights are very useful because they let us tailor our Facebook marketing content to what our audience is most likely to respond to. For example, if you build homes, you could expect to see anywhere between 30-65+ for the age demographic on your page. In this case, you would not want to market to 18 year olds because they are unlikely to be buying custom built homes until they are a few years older. Insights can also give you unexpected information that really improves your Facebook marketing strategies. Lastly, these audience insights allow you to create goals for your Facebook marketing strategy by knowing who you are talking to.
Your audience isn't the only thing that you need to worry about on Facebook. You also need to think about when and how often to post. At WTI, we recommend posting a few times a week. By posting a few times a week, you keep your page active. You also remind potential and current customers that you are still around. Plus, you can post deals and specials going on. Posts should vary between links to articles that are relevant to your business, promotions and specials, and graphics that display your services. Clear and interesting photos of your service or product and your team are also very important.
One of the best ways you can use Facebook marketing to your advantage is through Facebook ads. Facebook ads allow you to advertise on Facebook and Instagram. They can be graphics, photos, videos, or carousels of photos to scroll through. Additionally, Facebook ads not only display in the newsfeed. They also display in the sidebar, Messenger app, Stories, and other areas. You set up the audience that you want to see your ads. You also set up a budget for the ads. The ads can run all month or only part of the month, it's your choice.
At WTI, we manage your social media, including Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and more, to optimize your online presence. Looking for conversions from Facebook marketing or you're looking for more communication with clients on Twitter or Instagram? We are happy to work with you to meet your goals. Contact us for more information about Facebook marketing and social media management services.

As part of my college course I had to remove and replace an alternator on a Honda Accord. I was given the special 3/8" twister ratchet to use. It helped me to reach a bolt on the tensioner that was awkward to get to with my normal 3/8" ratchet.
I think the twister ratchet would be useful for a technician as it could save them time and help them to complete jobs on time more often.
It feels a well-made, solid ratchet that I think will last a good amount of time. The ratchet can be used as in a normal ratchet however once the fastener is looser then the twister mechanism allows the user to turn the socket by rotating the handle in either direction. You cannot apply a large amount of torque in this mode but it is quick and does not require much room to complete it in.
Overall I think that the twister ratchet should gain a place in a technician's box as it can carry out the task of a normal wrench as well as bringing an extra dimension that will help remove and replace hard to reach fasteners and speed up tasks throughout the day.
