| 29-7月-2019 | 加拿大代写

　　本篇論文代寫價格-稅務報告講了根據1997年的稅務評估，t是企業稅務實體有責任將印花信用分配給其生產的產品分銷上附加該信用的成員(Williams, 2016)。這使得公司的運作更加順暢有效。它強調什麼?爲什麼?如何?什麼時候?現在!流程使公司的運作適當且在公司的能力範圍內。本篇論文代寫價格文章由加拿大第一論文 Assignment First輔導網整理，供大家參考閱讀。

　　As the franking account is in surplus as at 30 June, franking deficit tax would be applied in the end of the year.

　　As per the above calculations that had been done, it can be seen that the resident company which had been owned by two individuals has an opening balance of $7,000 in its franking account for the current income year. On 18 July, the company paid an instalment of $30,000 to the investors which had been calculated as a credit in the company’s account, in this way the current balance of the company rises up to $37,000. On 29th August, the company paid cash dividend of $35,000 on which the amount was franked to 80%. Therefore, in this case, the company would need to calculate the amount with 20% of the cash left or the amount not paid as dividend. The balance amount after multiplying 28,000 with 20% of the cash left it may be taken as $7,000, whose total calculated amount would be $44,000, which had been derived after adding $37,000 PAYG instalment with $7,000 balance. In 3rd September, the company received a total amount of $ 28,000 under which the cash that had been franked to 90%. The cash that had been left would need to be credited to the account of the company through which the outcome of the calculations would be subtracting $44,000 by $2,800 resulting in an outcome of $41,200. For a small company, the rate of Franking credit would be 27.5%. This would need to be notified to the shareholders of the correct dividend and franking credit amount according to the Tax Rates Act 1986. In this way, it may be good for the company to calculate the amount in an effective way and make the calculations according to the tax Assessment Act of 1997. On 21st September, the company paid cash dividend with franking credit of $1,800 which had been attached with the dividend amount and the cash that would need to be paid was $7,000. Thence, after calculating the works, the outcome of the calculations was $46,400 which had been earned after subtracting $7,000 with $1,800. As on 5th October, salaries had been paid to the shareholders who were to receive the dividends under the Div 7A of ITAA36. The amount that would need to be deemed was $21,000. On 2nd February, the company received a income tax of $18,000 which it can be calculated under the Assessment Act of 1997, the outcome after subtracting $18,000 from $67,400 had resulted $49,400. Lastly, on 10th March, the company paid a dividend of $1,000 which would need to be added by $49,400 and the outcome would be 50,400. On 21st April, PAYG instalment was due which amounted to $90,000, but was due till 3rd July and this would not been paid till next year and would not be recorded in the current year. In this way, the calculations had been done in an effective way and Franking credit had been calculated in an effective way through which it had become easy for the company to work effectively.

　　According to the tax assessment of 1997, t is the duty of the corporate tax entity to allocate the Franking credits to the members who are attaching the credits on the distribution of the products that it makes (Williams, 2016). This makes the workings of the company smooth in a more effective way. It emphasizes what? Why? How? When? Now! Process makes the functioning of the company appropriate and within the reach of the company. The kind of expense credit found in nations, for example, Australia enables household organizations to go through assessments that have just been paid on corporate benefits (Toth and Burns, 2016). The financial specialist accepting stock profits will likewise get an amount of franking credits according to the general assessment rate of the organization per dollar in benefits.

Dollar dips on trade optimism, before Fed meeting

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. dollar slipped on Monday and the Japanese yen weakened to a three-month low against the greenback as optimism that the U.S. and China will reach a trade deal reduced demand for safe haven currencies, and as investors waited on the Federal Reserve’s meeting this week.

FILE PHOTO: A man counts U.S. dollars in Tehran, Iran July 7, 2019. Nazanin Tabatabaee/ WANA (West Asia News Agency) via REUTERS.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he expected to sign a significant part of the trade deal with China ahead of schedule but did not elaborate on the timing.

The comments come after the U.S. Trade Representative’s office and China’s Commerce Ministry said on Friday that U.S. and Chinese officials are “close to finalizing” some parts of a trade agreement, with talks to continue.

The trade war between the U.S. and China has been blamed for adding to global economic weakness, which in turn has prompted central banks globally to cut rates.

“Positive trade headlines continue to support our view that trade tensions are easing,” said Win Thin, global head of FX strategy at Brown Brothers Harriman.

The dollar index against a basket of six major currencies .DXY fell 0.07% to 97.760. The yen weakened as far as 109.03, the weakest since Aug. 1. The Australian dollar AUD=, which is highly sensitive to the Chinese economy, rose 0.25% to $0.6839 U.S. dollars.

Hopes that Britain will reach a deal to leave the European Union, and avoid a disorderly exit, also boosted risk sentiment on Monday.

The European Union on Monday agreed to a potential three-month Brexit delay as Prime Minister Boris Johnson sought a snap election to secure a majority capable of passing his divorce deal.

The major U.S. focus this week is the Federal Reserve meeting. The U.S. central bank is expected to cut rates when it concludes its two-day meeting on Wednesday, though investors will be watching for any indication that further cuts are likely.

Fed policymakers are deeply divided on whether the U.S. central bank should continue cutting rates.

“There’s still an awful lot of discrepancy and uncertainty in the markets as to what the Fed will do next year,” said Jane Foley, senior FX strategist at Rabobank. “The market will be looking for clues as to which way that might go.”

Book Review- Elly, My true story of the holocaust

Book Review: Elly, My true story of the Holocaust
Author- Elly Gross

This book was very good. I like to read about world war. It was a bit sad though learning about what the horrible nazis did the the Jews.

This is the information on the back of the book.
When Elly was just 15 years old, she, her mother and brother were deported by cattle car to the Auschwitz II / Birkenau concentration camp. On the day they arrived at Auschwitz, a soldier directed Elly to the right; her mother and brother were sent to the left. She never saw her family alive again. Elly later learned that her father also had been killed in a forced-labor camp.

Masha Lipkovsky

Masha Lipkovsky

May 2015 24 Philadelphia PA

Baking has always been part of the family tradition for Masha Lipkovsky. As a child helping her grandmother cook pies, honey cakes, sour-cream sponge cakes, and traditional Jewish-style cherry and apple strudels were the highlight of the day. As she grew older her aspirations for baking grew from magazines, TV shows, and local bakery displays. She decided to take a few decorating classes and from then on, all family occasions included a decorated cake by Masha. Family members’ excitement in receiving these delicious and beautiful cakes grew onto friends and then soon friends of those friends were looking to buy her creations.

In 2011 the idea of Unik Cakes was born – unique with a “K”. Masha knew that in order to take her baking from a hobby to a career she would need to educate herself and become an expert in the field of specialty baking. She immersed herself in books, magazines, and the internet until baking became part of her everyday life.

She went further and applied to the Art Institute of Philadelphia for Baking and Pastry program. While there, she further advanced her skills in not only baking but in getting real world experience by interning at Pink Cake Box owned by a renowned pastry chef, Anne Heap. Pink Cake Box is an award winning bakery that has been featured on national television, on Food Network and TLC, various magazines, as well as serving celebrities.

Graduating from the Art Institute of Philadelphia at the top of her class, where Masha was named to the Dean’s List and was recognized for her outstanding portfolio during her time there as a student.

  • How to Buy an Excavator

    What is an excavator?

    Excavators are vital for projects across various industries, whether grading, laying pipes, demolitions, mass excavations, clearing or general contracting. With many diggers for sale in the market today, it may be difficult to determine which excavator meets your needs. This article takes you through factors that you should consider when shopping for excavation equipment for your next project. It also gives quick tips for landing a good deal.

    Determine the lifting capacity

    The ideal excavator should have enough power to handle the tasks that you will be carrying out. When determining your power needs, check the kind of jobs that you may be performing over a long period and not just the job at hand. You may need a giant excavator for heavy earth-moving and mass demolition tasks. Look for a new mini excavator for sale if expecting to handle small tasks. Mini excavators have a capacity of up to 8 tonnes, standard excavators have capacities of up to 200 tonnes, while large ones may have capacities of over 500 tonnes

    Determine how you will transport the excavator

    You will be required to transport the excavator from one location to another to handle some projects. Therefore, you need to consider how the piece of equipment will be moving from one location to another. If you already have a trailer, ensure that the excavation equipment for sale you pick would fit your trailer. Otherwise, purchase a trailer according to the size of the earth-mover. In some places, you may need a permit to transport a giant excavator.

    What are your required specifications?

    Consider features like bucket capacity, engine power, storage capacity and engine power when making your consideration. Many excavators can support different types of buckets. Look at the maximum capacity that you can purchase. Engine make and power determines how long you can use the excavator continuously before doing repairs.

    What is your budget?

    Your budget is going to determine what kind of excavator for sale you can pick. However, it is recommended that you set a budget after determining the kind of excavators you need for your projects. You may consider looking for a new excavator for sale or buying a used one. The benefit of buying a used excavator is that you can buy a high capacity one at a lower price than you would if buying new. On the other hand, new excavators are less likely to give you problems for a longer period compared to used ones.

    20-ton-medium excavator-SY210C-Sany

    Shop around for excavators while comparing large and new mini excavator prices. Different brands come at different prices. It is good to compare features and capacities with the excavator price so that you end up with the best excavation equipment at your set budget. For used excavators, have them checked for quality and performance before making a purchase. You will find cheap excavators for sale.

    Are excavator spare parts available?

    You will eventually need spare parts especially if the excavator is doing hard work. If you are also in a remote region you should consider how easily you can access excavator spare parts.

    Other considerations

    You may check other excavator types and features. For example, you may consider an electric excavator rather than a gasoline one. You can also purchase a knuckle boom excavator that has an additional arm joint that gives it more flexibility when digging. There are also long reach excavators with arms that can reach up to 95 feet. Longer arms work well in dredging jobs and large building demolitions.

    Excavator buying checklist

    • Excavator capacity, power and specifications
    • Size and transport needs
    • Source of power; gasoline or electric
    • Buy new or used excavators
    • Excavator prices
    • Availability of excavator spare parts

    We have quality and affordable excavators for sale

    Backhoe Loaders and Excavators have a similar general function -they are both diggers, but they have differences in design and versatility that make each of them them better suited to different jobs. Choosing the right construction equipment for the requirements is important for any project, so we’ve gone and written up this excavator vs backhoe comparison.

    Excavators as their name would suggest are purpose built for excavating. They have a large arm attached to a cab, both of which can rotate 360 degrees atop the undercarriage. Excavators come in wheeled and crawler variants.

    Diagram of excavator components

    Backhoe Loaders

    Backhoe loaders are multi-functional machines built on a tractor chassis with a front end loader, and a rear excavator-style arm called a backhoe. The backhoe is limited in its rotation to a range of about 200 degrees. The backhoe itself consists of a bucket on the end of a hydraulic arm known as a dipper stick and boom that extends from the back of the tractor chassis.

    Excavators are

    • Larger and more powerful (typically)
    • More suitable for large construction sites, mining, drilling and demolition jobs.
    • Less mobile

    Backhoe Loaders

    • Smaller and lighter
    • More suitable for smaller scale projects, loading jobs and farming
    • More mobility

    Wheel excavators exist, but most excavators are tracked, therefore more capable in rough terrain and mountainous environments such as mining sites. Backhoe loaders are wheeled and can drive on roads, making them a good choice for projects with more than one work site.

    Backhoe loaders are more versatile machines than excavators. The front end loader allows for loading jobs to be performed, and the backhoe bucket can be swapped out for a large variety of implements like breakers, drills and hammers. The front end loader can also be swapped out for plows or forklifts. Excavators can use other hydraulic implements in place of the bucket, but the number is much smaller.

    Newer mini excavators can now perform many of the functions that backhoe loaders can, however backhoe loaders continue to be used as versatile machines for farm and small-medium construction projects.

    • 360 degree rotation
    • Bigger, more powerful machines
    • Can  better handle rough terrain
    • Purpose built for excavation
    • Better for large projects and heavy duty workloads

    Backhoe loader

    • Can be driven on roads
    • Smaller, tractor chassis
    • Has front loader and backhoe excavator
    • Multipurpose machine
    • Better for agricultural projects and spread out construction sites.

    Backhoe vs Excavator - which one is better for your project?

    Its important to consider your project’s scope when choosing equipment. For larger scale projects with a heavy workload, an excavator is probably the way to go. If the project is smaller, a backhoe loader can carry out excavation functions whilst offering more versatility.

    Of course if you are still unsure which is more suitable, ask an expert. We at CamaMach have years of experience and are happy to help, send us an email and we can make recommendations based on your site plans and requirements.

    Looking for excavators? We have a selection from top brands like XCMG and SANY

    Or if you are after a backhoe loader our catalogue includes SDLG, XCMG, and Lovol among others.

  • Why OEM might be right for you

    The number of Brands in China’s heavy machinery and equipment manufacturing industry is high and growing. There are brands that specialize in specific things, such as HGXB Bulldozers, or some which make everything ( SANY ). So it may be surprising to hear that for more niche vehicles and certain generic products it can be better to choose an OEM manufacturer for your purchase.

    So what is it?/What are the benefits of buying OEM

    At the end of the day, would you rather buy Nike shoes, or buy the same shoes from the factory that makes the shoes for 1/4 the price? That in essence is what buying OEM is.

    Purchasing brand names carries with it a certain amount of assurance about the quality. When purchasing a SANY truck crane, one can rest assured it is going to function correctly. However this comes at a price premium. The brands procure much of their equipment from OEMs and put their names on them, and their brand is an assurance of the quality.

    This is where OEM can come into play. By knowing what manufacturers produce the products for each brand, huge savings can be made without sacrificing on quality, as these smaller manufacturers are not spending the same amount on branding and marketing as their larger, more image focused partner companies.

    How can I buy OEM?

    So we have established that buying OEM has huge benefits for cost savings, but how can you as a foreign buyer discern which factories to contact?

    At CamaMach we are very knowledgeable about the products we procure, through years of experience we have determined which manufacturers in China make the best products and for what brands. This way we have been able to find incredible bargains on quality equipment.

    If you want a specific piece of equipment we can get it for you for considerable cost savings, with our assurance it is as good as the branded products.

    What about after sales?

    Spare parts, and after sales are a concern for any buyer of construction or mining equipment, but even more so for OEM. Fortunately finding OEM parts is even more possible. The reasons are simple, there are maybe one or two factories that make equipment for a brand, but 1000s of factories can make the spares for the equipment. Compared with assembling an excavator or bulldozer, fabricating air filters for said vehicles is relatively straightforward. At CamaMach we have many vetted suppliers of spare parts both OEM and original, so there's no shortage of after sales support for the products you buy from us.

Farm feed stores,, barley

Post by Acadian_1755 »

Im assuming that the barley you find in feed stores is not malted ? So. I Guess what im asking is,, would malting your own barley be way too impractical to even try or do any of you guys do it and have any tips for a rookie,,

Someone on here already tried this. If you do a search I'm sure you will come up with your answer. Think he was paying $17 a sack and without extra malting he missed his OG by more then 20points. But I am just going off of memory.

I considered malting my own barley when I first moved here and could not find a supplier nearby, and may still give it a try someday. One problem is feed barley has a higher protein content than malt barley and another is that it is a much lower grade. You may overcome these by simply using more, getting the right amount would be a bit of an experiment. :stirpot:

I would say labour wise there is more money saved in roasting your own malts. You would save a little less on grain costs, but it is much quicker, and if you were short on a specialty malts and the LHBS is a ways away it would work in a pinch.
Also you are using base malts which are malted with maximum starch by a company that has been doing it for years. ... our-malts/

I do not mean to discourage you from trying it though. The rewards are greater than the savings for DIY projects. :cheers:

Great link, Dee.
I really like toasting my own malts. If you're able to pick up a sack or two of 2-row malt, it's really all you need in order to create a huge range of beer styles. However, this is far different from malting feed-store barley.
Toasting an already malted brewer's grain, is something that is simple enough for the average homebrewer to be able to do in their kitchen. Turning an unmalted animal feed-grade sack of barley into something with the same properties as quality brewer's malt is a little more complicated, if even possible.

It can probably be done, but like others have said, it will be difficult and affect the quality of your brew. The reason it's being sold as feed barley is because it didn't make the cut for malt. As a farmer, when selling barley, we first send a sample to the elevator for them to test. They test a bunch of different properties, among them protein content, and germination. If it doesn't make the cut, it is sold as feed for a much lower price.

Long story short, malting your own barley could be a fun experiment, and it's something I'd like to try eventually, but if you're going to try, start with good quality barley. If you try using feed, I think you'll just be disappointed.

Either way let us know how it goes if you end up trying something!

The price of civility

I was bred to be polite. If there were a thoroughbred stable for polite people, I would have been a Kentucky blue blood despite my Ohio roots. I sometimes even bless myself when I sneeze.

It’s a knee-jerk reaction that I blame on—who else—my mother. Her instructions in etiquette were a large dose of, “What will people think if you don’t know which fork to use?” and a modicum of trying to instill in her children one basic tenet: The price of civility is low.

She was right, of course. It does not take much to hold a door open for the person behind you or wait your turn in line.

It seems, today, that most of the world did not have the benefit of my mother’s tutelage. In addition to needing a few lessons in civility, they must all be walking around with wrinkled shirts and eyes permanently crossed—both things she would have set straight immediately (“Don’t cross your eyes! They’ll stay that way.”) God only knows how many of you also run with scissors. Egads.

I am finding civility in short supply this week.

First, I encountered the woman working the phones for the Walgreens Customer Care line. I thought I was calling my local pharmacy, but they baited and switched me with robo-options into some national line. By the way, I think they named the Customer Care Line with as much irony as possible. There was no “Care” given.

I had lost some medication on a trip and needed to refill my prescription early to make up for it. The cranky woman on the phone spent five minutes telling me what she could not do for me. “I can’t do that. No, not that either.” When I mentioned that my local pharmacy team had done those very things previously—willingly and with a smile—she was silent. As I wished her a fine evening, I told her I would instead deal with my locals.

Then, I called our pediatrician’s office. When the receptionist inquired as to why my son needed to see the doctor, I launched into a brief (I’m a journalist—I know brief) explanation. Ten seconds in, she abruptly cut me off. When I later accepted the time she offered for the appointment, she again asked me why my son needed to be seen. In a treacly voice, I said, “For the very reason I was explaining when you so hastily cut me off mid-sentence.”

This morning, after school drop-off, I watched a minivan mother zoom impatiently around me, to drive highway speed down a residential street, her toddler’s arm poking out of the window while flapping in the breeze. She shook her head as if I was the crazy one for driving the speed limit while kids were walking to school and buses.

In contrast, I waited patiently as I stood in line at the store to buy pineapple. The express checkout was anything but, as the elderly woman in front of me launched into a conversation about her hot flashes with the mid-sixties female cashier. I smiled to myself and kept my zen about me, as I did not want to mirror the careless “Care” rep, the less-than-welcoming receptionist, the suburban mother on the edge. When the senior citizen finally left, she was smiling, as was the cashier. It took maybe two to three minutes of my time to wait patiently. But the payoff for this woman, who seemed not to have many people to talk to, seemed worth it.

I waited behind a parked car to let someone go by in an oncoming lane on my street. Lo and behold, he flashed me the peace sign for doing so. A fellow zen traveler.

Let’s unite, shall we? Those of us with our zen about us today, let’s ooze it wherever we happen to be standing, sitting, driving, talking.

I’m not always zen. I can be cranky. I can be rushed. I can be persnickety. Usually, though, not without provocation. If I’m mindful, my issues don’t usually spill onto those around me. Which is as it should be—we each have our own. No need to pile more on each other.

It took no more time, really, for me to allow our sweet little old lady friend to vent about her girl problems than it did the Uncaring Care Line Poster Girl to finish her litany of all the things she could not do for me. And yet, the results of those encounters felt totally different. Sweet little old lady walked out smiling, having had one of her few interactions outside what seems like a lonely home. And I, mildly annoyed, had to put my feelings in check because of the emotional vomiters of the world. Just my little nickname for people who spread their impatience, troubles, general distemper, with the rest of us. I am not yet enough of a zen warrior that I can just silently offer them light and peace. I still get triggered sometimes into annoyance.

My family members will attest to the fact that we rarely won an argument with Phyllis (aka Mom). Probably because she was right a lot. This time is no exception.

The price of civility is low. Let’s not play small. Pay up, Bucko. You can afford it.

And for God’s sake, keep your zen about you.

    I love this final word, K.
    You should put it on refrigerator magnets!! “Keep your zen about you.”

  2. Visit NZ, you will be surprised with the level of civility here. I feel on many days that there couldn’t be anywhere more civil.

    1. candidkay says:

      Can we import all the Kiwis to help spread the vibe as we try to survive our current election cycle?:)

      1. No I don’t think it will work. NZ has a polite vibe to it. I have never been to the states but it is shown as highly cutthroat.

        NZ is more of a retirement country

  3. Amy says:

    Like you, I try always to keep my zen about me, even when the world at large seems half mad with incivility. Sometimes I wonder whether the rudest people might just be the ones who need our kindness the most…

    Another thoughtful post. Thank you, my friend! xoxo

    1. candidkay says:

      That sounds like your generous self! You’re probably right on the rudest. I just wish I could keep my zen about me enough to be as kind as you about it:).

  4. Aunt Beulah says:

    I’ve learned a new motto in this entertaining and thought-provoking post: The price of civility is low. Though I may not embroider it on a pillow, I will keep it in mind. It’s good advice.

    1. candidkay says:

      I think we should go for the pillow and put it front and center on sofa!:)

  5. fritzdenis says:

    There are a lot of kamikaze drivers in Orlando, and my reaction varies according to my state of mind. When I’m calm I see all of us flowing down the road to our destinations, a unity of folks trying to get from Point A to B. On bad days I curse the guy who ran through a red light and tried to spear me. I’m from Ohio too, and I think that civility used to be taught there with greater emphasis. I was shocked when I moved to Wilmington, Delaware by the rudeness of a phone company employee who yelled at me when I called to ask about getting a phone book, and by a post office clerk who was contemptuous of me when I came in to mail a package. I wasn’t used to hostility from strangers in a professional setting, but learned to adjust my expectations to a lower setting.

    1. candidkay says:

      Ah, my fellow Buckeye–little did we know at the time we were raised in the Polite capital of the world:). I was shocked when I moved to Chicago, after hearing how friendly everyone was, at what would have been termed rude back home.

  6. Roy McCarthy says:

    I know, I know. I do my best to be a model citizen and assist if possible. Too often though, maybe in traffic situations, it’s dog-eat-dog and there’s little other than halo-polishing in it. And if I step aside once more and let someone else through a door first and they can’t even acknowledge the fact I’m gonna punch them in the face instead 🙂

    1. candidkay says:

      Oh Roy, you’ve made me laugh:). I’m completely in your corner! When I’m rushed and yet take the time to let someone into traffic or hold a door–and they completely ignore the gesture, as if they are entitled royalty– I flame:). Isn’t it funny how, when we’re trying to do something showing our patience and tolerance, a lack of acknowledgement can send us into the exact opposite place?

  7. George says:

    The lack of civility, respect, and common courtesies has become an epidemic, and I don’t think it’s going to get better any time soon.

    1. candidkay says:

      I am holding firm in belief that a sea change begins with individuals:).

  8. srbottch says:

    I love that message, ‘the price of civility…’ Just be an example and the world will change to be like you. Right?

    1. candidkay says:

      Oh, I wish it were that easy–on both sides!:). But would be a great scenario, wouldn’t it?

  9. Great post. The cost is low but not many people want to pay it. Sometimes when I talk my mom comes out instead. It might come off as snarky/judgy but I now I realize it was her way to teach me “manners”. I opt for zen when I run into opportunities to lead by example, granted not always successfully.

    1. candidkay says:

      I hear you on the mother bit:). That imprint sticks!

  10. Well said! Love those days when nothing (or not much) gets to me, and patience abounds. The customer service training I received when I was a bank teller a few decades back, still comes in handy.

    1. candidkay says:

      I bet it does! Having worked in corporate comms and marketing, the phone rep’s lack of basic customer skills really amazed me. I know they all go through training!

  11. You have had a very bad run of rudeness coming your way. I am a vicar’s daughter and my mother also practised and preached good manners. Not for a minute would I disagree with your point in this blog! As you say, the cost of courtesy is low, the value is high, and good manners are essentially a form of respect. On the other hand, the protagonist of my new novel (Fixing Mrs Philpott) is over-reliant on politeness as the ultimate virtue, with dire consequences. Politeness is valuable but sometimes — it’s not enough.

    1. candidkay says:

      Well, now I want to know more about Mrs. Philpott! I guess I’ll have to read your book:).

  12. My ex MIL was persnickety. I feel like people who have gone through a situation that required patience and thoughtfulness to survive (without throttling somebody) are better at this than those who have not. I find myself saying “if I’m late, I’m late”. Rather than stressing over lineups and inconveniences.

    1. candidkay says:

      I hadn’t thought of it that way! I guess you and I would know a lot about patience and survival:).

  13. I like that word “persnickety!”we all have those days when we are not so civil, patient or zen. You are right Kristine, it doesn’t take much, a bit of self-control here, and there, definitely makes the world a nicer place to live in. 🙏🏻

    1. candidkay says:

      It sounds easy. Just the completion that can be tough!

  14. Let me see…we currently face a lunar eclipse (so the lead up is going to be very emotional, blocking your ‘sight’ and an ‘aha’ moment or two), plus Mars is doing his best to rock the boat, so that is emotions at rocket pace, while clashing with Neptune….big clashing.
    Which brings us back to Zen 😀
    Breeeeeathe Kristine, your Zen is there…aka the old woman…but the receptionists are also pretty tired too….so your Zen is being tested, just to show YOU the beauty within you 🙂 You can throw a wobbly next week, when she will have much patience, after learning about this week 😀

    1. candidkay says:

      What is a wobbly, Mark? And wow–had no idea the planets were so in flux. But truly, something was in the air this AM . . . lot of anger out there on road!

      1. That’s what a ‘wobbly’ is…it is when you lose control and get angry. You usually look back and go..’was that me?’ because it is so out of character 😀
        And yes, the planets are seriously doing their thing. This particular eclipse is one of those ‘push comes to shove’ IF we are not facing up to things as we should. It is a big cycle change and the universe, with great love, wants us to release ‘old’ things we are hanging onto, understand them, and then move into what we really want in our hearts, instead of constantly treading water.
        Enjoy the swim 😀

      2. candidkay says:

        Ah. No wonder I’ve been wanting to purge closets, drawer contents, old energy:).

  16. Su Leslie says:

    Lovely, lovely post. I think our mothers went to the same school of child-rearing. Like you, I can be impatient (usually accompanied with some colourful, under-my-breath language), but like you I am learning to be more patient with people — and with myself. 🙂

    1. candidkay says:

      Well, the colorful language just makes us-well-more colorful, that’s all :-).

  17. Elyse says:

    Beautiful! We can all take a moment.

    I especially appreciate your patience with the chatty woman in line ahead of you. I can recall time when, living in Europe and not speaking the language, that I would just keep talking to anyone who could understand me. (They were all wonderful, I will add!) It’s hard having no one to talk with no matter what the reason!

    1. candidkay says:

      I have to treasure the times I am patient to make up for the times I’m not!

      1. Elyse says:

        Well, yeah. Me too!

  18. suemclaren24 says:

    So so true. So many people are wrapped up in their own self-centered worlds, oblivious to the needs or cares of others (viz. faces in their phones). As you, I experience the in-a-hurry driver whose own agenda is more important that anyone or anything else; it annoys me (am not perfect yet either!) and is often dangerous. There’s the person who thinks their phone conversation is on the Top Ten. Etc. Then someone holds a door open for me and my day changes in a very positive way.

    1. candidkay says:

      It’s amazing to me how much influence we all have on each other’s day. One or two kind acts can make all the difference.

  19. Tom Schultz says:

    A 19th century practitioner of zen, William James, said: “The art of wisdom is often the art of knowing what to overlook.”

    1. candidkay says:

      Exactly, Tom. Which is why I freely admit I’m not a bodhisattva yet:). Still working on the overlooking bit . . .

      1. Tom Schultz says:

        bodhisattva…admit that sent me to the online dictionary. good word!

      2. candidkay says:

        They don’t call me word nerd for nothing:).

U.S. doctors group sues FDA for limiting access to COVID-19 drug hydroxychloroquine

The drug hydroxychloroquine, pushed by U.S. President Donald Trump and others in recent months as a possible treatment to people infected with the coronavirus disease (COVID-19), is displayed at the Rock Canyon Pharmacy in Provo, Utah, U.S. May 27, 2020.

A group of conservative U.S. doctors has sued the Food and Drug Administration for limiting use of the malaria drug hydroxychloroquine for COVID-19, arguing that the therapy should be made widely available to fight the pandemic.

The lawsuit represents the latest front in a highly politicized U.S. debate over access to hydroxychloroquine. The drug has been championed by President Donald Trump as a potential “game-changer” against the coronavirus, but its value has yet to be established. A clinical trial released on Wednesday found it to be ineffective in preventing infection.

The FDA, which regulates medicines in the United States, has restricted use of the drug from the national stockpile to COVID-19 patients who are hospitalized and cannot enroll in a clinical trial. States can set their own rules for prescription, with many influenced by the FDA’s warning that the drug has a risk of a side-effect of dangerous heart arrhythmias.

That harms the rights of its member doctors to prescribe as they see fit, causing “economic injury,” the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons (AAPS) argues in its suit, filed in a Michigan federal district court on Tuesday.

An FDA agency spokesperson said it does not comment on pending or ongoing litigation.

In a statement published online last week, FDA Commissioner Stephen Hahn said the agency does not prohibit physicians from prescribing medications. “It is important that patients and health care providers understand the known side effects of these drugs, including serious and potentially life-threatening heart rhythm problems,” he said.

The AAPS, a non-profit organization based in Tucson, Arizona, has a “few thousand” members, according to executive director Jane Orient. It opposes mandatory vaccination, previously waged a campaign against healthcare reforms introduced by former President Barack Obama, and has been pushing back against state restrictions on use of hydroxychloroquine as a preventive therapy for the coronavirus.

AAPS has accused state and federal agencies of “hoarding” hydroxychloroquine while patients die in an outbreak that has killed over 107,000 and infected 1.86 million in the United States to date.

The group is running a series of online seminars for doctors on the coronavirus. General counsel Andrew Schlafly discussed legal issues related to prescribing hydroxychloroquine on one in April.

“They could pump out 100 million doses of these things within a week. Everybody in our country could be given them, and that would stop this crisis overnight, most likely,” said Schlafly, who is not a doctor.

Richard Chaisson, a Johns Hopkins researcher, is running a trial of the drug to determine whether it is effective in treating patients with moderate to severe versions of the disease.

“Right now, the data for hydroxychloroquine is not compelling for any group,” he said in an interview. “Until it’s been studied, I really think it’s irresponsible to recommend it routinely outside of a clinical trial.”

Schlafly said in response: “I disagree completely… the data is that the medication is very safe.”

More than 35 states have restricted prescriptions for hydroxychloroquine, and at least five of those have rules specifically prohibiting prescribing the drug as a preventive measure.

Is The 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500 Ditching The Manual Gearbox?

/ Comments

A new report claims the upcoming Mustang GT500 will only be offered with a seven-speed dual clutch automatic.

Leaked specifications have got us extremely excited about the upcoming 2020 Shelby Mustang GT500. Set to become the most powerful street-legal Mustang ever made, the GT500 will be powered by a supercharged 5.2-liter V8 that produces 720 horsepower at 7,500 rpm and 650 lb-ft of torque at 4,500 rpm according to the leak. However, a new report by Jalopnik regarding the transmission may upset enthusiasts.

Contrary to previous rumors that the new GT500 will be offered with a six-speed manual gearbox, a source "familiar with internal spec sheets" claims that a seven-speed dual clutch automatic will be the only transmission option. Furthermore, the report claims the automatic will not be the same unit found in the Ford GT and will instead be sourced from a different manufacturer. Ironically, the GT350 is only offered with a manual transmission.

Jalopnik speculates the GT500's transmission is likely to be a Tremec TR-9007, built for performance vehicles and able to handle up to 664 lb-ft of torque. It can also be adapted to rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive platforms. As for why the GT500 is ditching the manual, the Tremec TR-3160 gearbox from the GT350 wouldn't be able to handle the amount of torque the 5.2-liter supercharged engine in the GT500 is likely to produce.

Predictably, a Ford spokesman refused to confirm the rumor. "Regarding the upcoming, Mustang Shelby GT500 model, we have not announced any powertrain specifics yet. More to come as we get closer to the market introduction," they said. The news will undoubtedly be disappointing for purists, but the GT500 will simply have too much power and torque to handle with a manual. It also lines up with a video that emerged a few months ago showing a prototype GT500 with lightening-fast upshifts, suggesting it was being operated with an automatic.

The Librarian’s Cellar Recommended Reads 2020: Monstrous Souls by Rebecca Kelly

Ten years ago, Heidi survived a horrendously savage attack, during which her best friend was murdered and her little sister went missing. Amnesia has plagued her, but now, she is beginning to remember…

Monstrous Souls is a tough read in relation to the sexual abuse and trafficking of children, though it is extremely well handled by the author, Rebecca Kelly. A taut thriller, the reader journeys alongside Heidi as she discovers clues from her slowly re-emerging memories… and the truth that shocks her to her core.

My thanks to Netgalley and Agora Books for the opportunity to read an ARC copy of Monstrous Souls. In all good book stores now.

On Writing: It’s just you and the words

Unprecedented days. If you’re struggling, you’re not alone – and you know what – unless you are one of our magnificent and brave frontline/essential services workers, not afforded the option of self-isolating – staying safe, healthy and sane are all that most of us need to concentrate on right now.

For the writers among us, productivity may have waned, which may also have us feeling a strange kind of guilt, so I thought I’d share this Facebook post from 2011:

This was a much appreciated ‘break in the clouds’ at the time, and if it helps any emerging writer to go easy on themselves, I’m happy to share that it took me so many years to finish Lady Beth. It was always a marathon. It was never a sprint.

For most of that time, I was riddled with self-doubt. Convinced myself that no-one would want to read it. That no-one would be interested in what I had to say. Then it happened. I got a break – someone saw the potential. And it fired me up again. I kept at it – for another six years until I published it on 2017 – though I continued to struggle. (Still do!) But what I’ve learned is that if it’s in your blood to be a writer, you’ll be one.

It will and should take time. You will and should have difficult days when you question why and what for. You’ll be sticking your neck out, your ego out, your vulnerability. Not everyone will be kind and supportive. Those voices might even deafen you. Paralyse you.

Consider those battle scars as ammunition. Wear those nasty paper cuts with pride as you learn to push aside the negative forces. Shove them out of your way so that you can hear those others. The positive voices. The encouragers. The mentors. The enablers.

Take your time. You’ll be honing your craft ‘til the day you die. Be open to making mistakes, but also be open to learning from them. It’s not a competition. It’s just you and the words. Tell your stories. Take all the time you need to tell them in your unique voice.

A writer and filmmaker, Caroline is the author of the novel LADY BETH and the writer/director the short film FRAMED (2018). An award-winning screenwriter, she has also written the short films IN RIBBONS (2015) and ADAM (2013).

The Librarian’s Cellar Books 2020: Actress by Anne Enright

“Katherine O’Dell is an Irish theatre legend. As her daughter Norah retraces her mother’s celebrated career and bohemian life, she delves into long-kept secrets, both her mother’s and her own.”

The narrator, Norah is a writer. In order to make meaning of her own experiences (the ghost in my blood) she remembers her mother’s life and career. A tumultuous life that culminated in great sadness…

There is pain and grief for Norah, but there is also catharsis, and for the reader, so much more between the lines of Enright’s beautifully constructed sentences… of a generation of women gone, and the truth of their lives…

I loved this book.

The Librarian’s Cellar Books 2020: Sisters by Daisy Johnson

An eerie glimpse into the lives of haunted people, SISTERS is compelling and beautiful.

Born just ten months apart, July and September are as close as twins, never needing anyone but each other. When their single mother moves them to Settle House, a palpable unease slowly emerges, as do a series of unsettling revelations that will keep you reading until the very end.

Multi-faceted in theme and style, SISTERS creeps upon you and is completely absorbing.

Published July 2020. My thanks to Netgalley and Penguin for the opportunity to read this ARC.

Taking time out… and not writing.

Strange days are these, and everywhere I turn, there is advice for writers. How to make the best of all this spare time during social isolation. How to be more productive. How to finish that WIP. And I fell into all of it — putting pressure on myself to produce, to create, though nothing of worth was emerging.

I was riddled with guilt that I wasn’t writing — until I copped on!

So I stopped trying. Left it alone. Shut the laptop and stacked the notebooks. I read more books, practiced my amateur knitting, stared out the window, did some housework (only the essential stuff!) and used the time to let the mind wander. To let new thoughts percolate. To be inspired.

And this happened: Not Writing. A Poem (Of Sorts) published by Pendemic, a wonderful site, created to publish new writing in response to Coronavirus disease (COVID-19). Check it out for some insightful writing and writers.

Not Writing

Of disquiet

The pang that lingers as reality bites

Mornings open to inspection

What next?

Of the belly ache. Someone forgotten

The distance. Forced and unnatural

Of the worry

The vulnerable

The children not cherished

Of fragile safety nets undone

And inevitable loss

Of love for kin held close

And the hollow of their absence

Of soul friends

The warmth of their knowing

Of energy sent and received

Of being blessed

Of hitting the reset button

For the chance to begin again.

The thing is, we all have the belly aches, the worries that churn. We are all filled with self doubt that our art doesn’t make a damn bit of difference to a world in turmoil. A world closing in to protect itself. To protect us. But, we’re a resilient bunch, us humans. We’ll get through this. We will thrive and we will reset.

And the creativity will flow.

The Librarian’s Cellar Books 2020: Recollections of My Nonexistence: A Memoir by Rebecca Solnit

Rebecca Solnit has written prolifically on feminism, politics and art, and while not a traditionally written memoir, ‘Recollections of my Non-Existence’ is an interesting and relatable insight into her formative years, charting a journey of enlightenment, experiences and friendships that influenced her writing and activism.

More importantly, the book shines a light on the experience of Rebecca, and indeed, for all women, finding their space in the world – a world, that because of our gender, is filled with danger and threat – and how we have negotiated survival while navigating these perils. Has anything changed, really?

Published by Viking. Many thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for opportunity to read this ARC.

The Librarian’s Cellar Book Recommendations 2020: You Let Me In by Camilla Bruce

Fantastical, sinister and disturbing. Unreliable narrator, Cassandra Tipp is an elderly author, and she is missing. However, she has left a manuscript for her niece and nephew to read which details her strange and harrowing life, while also holding a password to accessing the vast fortune she has accumulated from her romance novels.

Cassandra’s story is darkly surreal and woven around her lifelong relationship with ‘Pepper-man’ a vampiric faerie (yes!) and his community of woodland creatures. ‘Pepper-man is perhaps metaphorical – as companion and abuser – or perhaps not. Up to the reader to decide!

An unusual and weirdly compelling debut that layers in the real and the supernatural experiences of a troubled life. One that lingers, though if I have one gripe, it is that I don’t believe that the book title does this story justice.

Thanks to Netgalley and Random House UK, Transworld Publishers, Bantam Press for the opportunity to read this ARC. ‘You Let Me In’ is published on March 5th, 2020.

The Librarian’s Cellar Book Recommendations: Laura Cassidy’s Walk of Fame

Image result for laura cassidy's walk of fame

Laura’s movie-obsessed father always told her that she was destined for fame. And Laura will do whatever is necessary to see his, and her own, dream realised.

I loved this book by Alan McMonagle. A journey of grief, desperation and hope. It is funny, poignant and packed with familial tension, drama and yearning. You’ll follow Laura’s walk of fame through the streets of Galway long after you’ve turned the last page.

My thanks to Netgalley and Pan Macmillan / Picador for the opportunity to read this novel. Publication date is March 5th, 2020.

Caroline Farrell is a writer and filmmaker from Dublin, Ireland:

Hello Ma, how’s things?

Are you there now?

In your place of dreams

Where the others are

and spoil you still

In your place of smiles

Of fancy fit

and flare and

snake charm gold

Of giggles and

girlish things

Is your Ma there too?

Chasing you with time when

He left you home late

31st January 2020: 4th Anniversary. Rest in Peace, Detta.

The Librarian’s Cellar Book Recommendations: The Jewel by Neil Hegarty

The Jewel is a painting that hangs in a Dublin gallery. A vibrant work of art with a fascinating story, unfolding through a complex narrative that begins with a rather morbid and haunting decision by its creator – a long deceased female artist.

The novel weaves in and out of the lives of three very different, but equally troubled characters. A lonely curator, a disillusioned artist turned forger and thief, and an expert in art theft tasked with recovering the painting. A common thread to each of these lives is their sense of disillusionment. The same emotion that perhaps, drove this victorian artist to act as she did. As this gripping story unwinds, in all its complexity, three lives become intrinsically linked to The Jewel, and fleetingly, to each other. Vivid and original storytelling, beautifully written.
