Gifts for Dads and Grandpa’s

I love this idea. Anjeanette made this with her boys for her husband. It could easily be made for a Grandpa or Great Grandpa as well. I can see doing this on a stepping stone.

Paint your child’s hand and wrist and then press it down on canvas. This could be done with fabrics to make an appliqué for a quilt block. Better yet make a quilt and add to it every year as your children and family grow. Go HERE to see Anjeanette’s tutorial.

See what I mean about putting your child’s hand on fabric? Do I need to say more? Simply wonderful…….. Go HERE for the tutorial.

Who does not love Shrinky Dinks?! We teamed up to give you 3 ways to make gifts for some special Dads using Shrinky Dinks. Go HERE to see what we came up with. We would love to hear your ideas too.

Love it! I think I know what we might be doing as gifts for Christmas with my nephews.

The journal is a great idea (and turned out beautifully) but the quilt block idea is fantastic - how lovely! I can picture it with baby feet...

This can be a finest article for this subject matter I've ever read. I'm really quite satisfied with it. Maintain running a blog!

Blithe spirit dating - ver el gringuito online dating

He assures her that the goblet is an authentic 18th-century artifact, and she purchases it after he teaches her the art of bargaining.Hoping to see her again, Renato offers to search for a matching goblet.

Although she asks him not to come to the train station, she hopes he will ignore her request.The following day, Jane goes shopping and sees a red glass goblet in the window of an antiques store.Upon entering she discovers that the owner, Renato de Rossi (Rossano Brazzi), is the very man from whom she fled the night before.Also staying at the property are Eddie Yaeger (Darren Mc Gavin), a young American painter studying art, and his wife Phyl (Mari Aldon).Jane is also pestered off and on during her stay by a friendly young Italian street urchin, Mauro.Renato realises that she thinks he has swindled her, but he assures her that some designs have been used for centuries on Murano and he insists that her goblet is an antique.

The two attend a concert at the piazza, where an orchestra plays the overture to La gazza ladra.

That evening, he comes to her pensione and confesses his attraction for her.

When Jane resists his advances, he warns her not to waste an opportunity for happiness, and she is about to agree to have dinner with him when the Mc Ilhennys return from a shopping expedition on the island of Murano, during which they purchased a set of new red goblets similar to the one Jane bought.

Upon returning to the pensione, Jane discovers Eddie is having an affair with Signora Fiorini.

Renato arrives and tells her their relationship is none of her business.

During the ride on a vaporetto to the Pensione Fiorini, she meets two fellow Americans, Lloyd (Mac Donald Parke) and Edith (Jane Rose) Mc Ilhenny.

Peace and Justice in the New Millennium

Peace and Justice in the New Millennium
by Patrick St. A. Wright

This book is about a fraternity known as OFUROBR or, The Organization for the Universal Recognition of the Black Race. This fraternity was established to create peace on earth, which was accomplished with the use of diplomacy, economic might, and military power.

In addition to race, this book touches on the cure of AIDs, the cause of cancer, sexual health, and diabetes. It also illustrates different conflicts - from Englands refusal to return the diamond and gold mines to Africa, to the conflict with the United States of America over trade with India and Africa.

The African countries united into the United States of Africa, which became the new super power in the new millennium.

About the Author

My name is Patrick St. Augustine Wright, and I was born in Jamaica in the West Indies. I was educated from primary school to elementary school to high school to college. I attended the College of Arts, Science and Technology. This institution is known as CAST. I furthered my education, and went to the School of Economics, specializing in Business Administration and Cost Accounting.

I am currently living in the state of Florida in the United States of America.

This is my first book. Inspiration to write this book came from my years of study about the racial injustice of the black, African people. This book is composed of my thoughts, which could change the outlook of the world on this issue.

Remove duplicates in Excel

Hi all,

Just want to clarify if it is possible to remove duplicates in Excel using the Excel VBO?
If so, what is the approach I can take? Thanks.

Well-Known Member
Staff member
Hi junwei,

Below is how the duplicates can be removed from Excel.

Few key things to note are-
The object is designed is such a way that:
- Column numbers that you want the duplicates to be removed from have to be passed as a string separated by commas (eg; "1, 3, 5"). This is the inputColumns parameter shown in the below screenshots.
This is because the RemoveDuplicates method takes column index numbers as a parameter to remove the duplicates from.
If you have Column alphabets within your process then you need to convert them to a comma separated string of column numbers and then pass it to this action.
This can be done either by using a code similar to this or by inserting a formula using SetCellValue in excel as shown below to get the column number of Column AL, for example, then forming a comma separated string and then clear the formula from the cell.

- You would need to modify the code to accept ALL columns as input to remove the duplicates from ALL columns if that is your case.

- Ignore the wordings 'Interop' in any of the screenshots as that was for a different purpose.

- Reference of RemoveDuplicates method

- The code works fine under general conditions and exception handling and validation or any other modification needs to be done wherever necessary as per your own requirement.

--------Object Action starts here-------

- Create a custom action tab for the Remove Duplicates action in the Excel VBO, which is generally done by duplicating any of the other Excel tabs/actions. Note that this will add a new tab to the in-built Excel VBO. If you want to keep the original VBO provided by Blue Prism as it is, then you need to make a duplicate of the entire Excel VBO and then start creating new custom functions like this one over there.

- Object Diagram look as below:
View attachment 1544077720869.png

- Start stage Input parameters:
View attachment 1544077766940.png

- Code stage Input parameters:
View attachment 1544077802659.png

- Code stage Output parameters:
View attachment 1544077831637.png

- Code in the Code stage:
Dim sw, dw As Object
Dim ss, ds As Object
Dim excel, sheet As Object
Dim i as integer
Dim str() As String = inputColumns.Split(",")
Dim result(str.Length - 1) As Object 'Integer

sw = GetWorkbook(Handle, Source_Workbook)
ss = GetWorksheet(Handle, Source_Workbook, Source_Worksheet)

ss.Activate()   'Whichever sheet name was passed as a parameter to this code stage that becomes the active sheet
excel = ss.Application
sheet = excel.ActiveSheet

'create an array of the column numbers based on the inputColumns parameter so as to pass it to the RemoveDuplicates method
For i = 0 To str.Length - 1
    result(i) = str(i)

sheet.Range(cellRef).RemoveDuplicates(Columns:=(result), Header:=HeaderYesNoGuess)

'Numeric constant values for Header parameter

'Name      | Value    | Description
'xlGuess  | 0        | Excel determines whether there is a header, and where it is, if there is one.
'xlNo      | 2        | Default. The entire range should be sorted.
'xlYes      | 1        | The entire range should not be sorted.

Success = True

Catch e As Exception
    Success = False
    Message = e.Message
    sw = Nothing
    ss = Nothing
    dw = Nothing
    ds = Nothing
    excel = Nothing
    sheet = Nothing
End Try

- The Excel sheet and the Process Diagram before running the new action:
Notice the duplicates in Columns A and B that are marked with the same color.
View attachment 1544078192260.png

- Parameters passed from the new action:
Information on inputColumns is given in the top section of this post and HeaderYesNoGuess is explained within comments in the Code.

run club

Ok lets chat... And be real!  So every week is different. One week I'm a runner. Then the next week I'm a struggling runner who can't breath. The struggle is beyond real.  Kind of sounds like an actor who gets a part in a movie and then doesn't get the next gig. Up down, up down... Really messes with your emotions! Well,  last year I hurt my hip. The doctor has no clue how it happened. I think it was my excessive 2 year workout routine and I just pushed myself way too hard. We all need wake up calls in life... I sure got mine, "slow down!" After rest and a huge injection {yikes}... I feel so much better! Not healed, but better! The pain is pretty much gone.  So guess what... I have an idea {don't laugh}... I want to start a f r e e fun run club. A group of people who are willing to run, laugh, walk, talk, be thankful and have fun! I'm trying to build up my milage and thought of this brilliant idea yesterday. So what do you think? This run club isn't about running fast or going super far... Its about making new friends and sharing stories! OK and yes helping each other push ourselves to achieve more goals in running. I'm not asking to run a 5K every weekend... Or turn into a crazy marathoner I'm just wanting to really have fun and get better at running... With no pressure. If you only have 30 minutes to run, great. Then go 15 minutes with the group and then run back to your car. Simple!

So what do you all think? Want to do it? Want start running together?  I'm thinking this coming weekend at Moonlight Beach {beach run}... August 5th at 8:30 am. Kids are welcome! Would love some feedback... Please!

Saturday in the Fifth Week of Lent

Why are you so full of heaviness, O my soul?
   and why are you so disquieted within me?
Put your trust in God,
   for I will yet give thanks to him,
   who is the help of my countenance, and my God.  Psalm 43:5-6

I begin my morning litany of thanks. Reviewing the day before, I look for the moments of God’s presence and grace and write them into my journal. Yet even as my pen moves over the page, I know that my heart is not in it.

The truth is I do not feel very thankful. Weary would be a better word. My heart is bruised by the trouble of the world.  But I practice my ritual of gratitude nonetheless.

Then I remember. Two conversations, one from the morning, one in the afternoon. Two women who faced into anxiety and suffering and heartache, and breathed courage. Who recognized and took to heart hope and opportunity in the midst of distress. Who chose gratitude. And who with extraordinary grace invited me into their stories.

This is why I pray and practice. So that when the challenge comes, I remember to breathe. And respiring, I trust that even bruised and fettered, my heart is in God’s hands and I will yet give thanks.

[VIDEO] How loss of computer data led to the birth of Sh300m firm

Data Handlers limited managing director George Njoroge

Data Handlers limited managing director George Njoroge

On November 22, George Njoroge will be among thousands of students who will graduate from Inoorero University in Nairobi.

But Mr Njoroge is no ordinary student. In 2007, he was supposed to graduate with a Bachelor of Science degree in Information and Communications Technology (ICT) from Jomo Kenyatta University of Agriculture and Technology.

This was, however, not to be after he lost his entire college project when his computer crashed in 2006 and he was forced to suspend his studies as it was impossible to beat the submission deadline if he started afresh.

Mr Njoroge could only attend his classmates’ graduation parties as a guest.

However, in the classic manner of getting the best out of a difficult situation, Mr Njoroge turned the loss of his project to his advantage. Between 2006 and now, he has built a company from scratch — and it could be worth more than Sh300 million now.

What’s more, Mr Njoroge, 33, owns 90 per cent of the company, and is the CEO.

And if everything goes according to plan, the company will achieve another milestone in December when it is expected to be listed at the Nairobi Securities Exchange (NSE).

But just how did it all start? For eight months, Mr Njoroge had spent long days and sleepless nights working on a project, which was a prerequisite before graduation.

“I had conceptualised an online voting system, which I believe would have saved the country troubles in the 2007 General Election,” says Mr Njoroge.

With less than a month to submission, Mr Njoroge woke up one morning and powered his computer. What he saw nearly gave him a heart attack.

“Back in the day, a crashed computer would show this annoying image on the screen. That’s what I encountered,” he says. “My heart nearly stopped beating.”

His project, which was almost complete, had been lost for good.

Mr Njoroge’s mother had spent a fortune on his pre-university education and felt he should be able to get a job.

He had completed training as a Microsoft Certified Solutions Associate, Microsoft Certified Solutions Expert, and Microsoft Certified Solutions Developer.

True to her expectations, Mr Njoroge had found a job working for a Nairobi-based partner of the American multinational.

“I was paying for my degree. The only option I had was to defer for a while because I was already struggling to raise the fees,” says Mr Njoroge.

He then embarked on a search for someone who could retrieve his work. But, after making a number of enquiries locally, he hit a frustrating dead end.

“You can imagine that working for a Microsoft partner, I knew the who-is-who in the IT industry in Kenya. But everyone I asked wondered; ‘if you guys (Microsoft) can’t recover lost data, who can’,” says Mr Njoroge.

That’s when he realised he was in deep trouble, and he would not graduate. However, he says the best decision he ever made was to refuse to allow this experience to put him down.

“I started researching online on how to recover lost data and realised it could be done,” he says. “Having lost my data, and since I was struggling with my fees, I decided to take an academic break in 2006.”

Almost simultaneously, he left the Microsoft partner company for Aitec Africa as the IT director.

Four months later, Mr Njoroge approached Aitec’s chairman, Sean Moroney, with a business idea, requesting it to be incubated at the company. That’s how East African Data Handlers (EADH) was born.

“We agreed that he would cut my pay into half and then I would set up a company incubated by Aitec. I had a leeway of hiring staff and using their facilities to run the company,” he says.

Unlike the new business incubators which demand a shareholding from start-ups, the only requirement was for Mr Njoroge to always indicate that the company was being incubated by Aitec.

“That was crucial and I’ll forever remain grateful. After doing my job during the day, I would stay awake almost overnight researching on data recovery,” he says.

With word spreading among his IT peers about his data recovery prowess, he got a major breakthrough that year.

“It was during the World Cup in Germany and a Kenyan betting company had lost its data from the main server. I was in Kilimanjaro, Tanzania, and they sent an air ticket for me to fly back to Kenya. I had left Kenya on a bus and returned by flight,” he recalls. After recovering the data, he was paid handsomely. That’s how Mr Njoroge made his first million, soon after taking his maiden flight.

In early 2007, EADH was incorporated with two directors — Mr Njoroge and his classmate James Kariuki.

Still under incubation, the two started advertising mainly in the Daily Nation and the now defunct Weekly Advertiser.

“We started getting clients and making some money. We hired three employees and moved out by end of January 2007,” recalls Mr Njoroge.

They had bought some computers and office furniture and got a small office space in Westlands.

That year, Mr Njoroge landed a deal with the United Nations Nairobi office to help them set up a data recovery laboratory. He flew to Russia and China to source lab tools besides receiving some basic formal training on data recovery.

This seemed to have opened the doors for EADH, which started getting corporate clients.

The company has over the years grown and has expanded its offices. Yet, Mr Njoroge says he has never taken a bank loan. “We have been expanding on our own proceeds, growing as our needs are met,” he said.

Today, the company’s clientele includes the government, commercial banks and telecommunications companies, among others.

The company has just won a lucrative tender to set up a forensics laboratory for a government institution, similar to the one at the UN.

Getting customers who require data recovery from Rwanda, Uganda, Tanzania and Ethiopia, he says, also shows that the service is much sought-after.

The company had specialised in recovering lost computer data until three years ago when they started recovering deleted text messages and other data from mobile phones.

The company also offers services on computer forensics (cybercrime and fraud).

“We are planning to venture into data storage services and other data analytical tools including video analysis,” he says.

One of the most high-profile cases Mr Njoroge has handled was recovering data for the Kenya Airports Authority following a fire last year at the Jomo Kenyatta International Airport.

He also recovered data for the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics and Nairobi’s Kimathi House following separate infernos.

Mr Njoroge helped the Directorate of Criminal Investigations in the recovery and analysis of CCTV footage in the Mercy Keino murder saga.

“But the most touching case for me was helping a bereaved man recover all his wife’s pictures spanning her lifetime. He had saved them on a laptop which had been stolen and on a hard disk which had crashed,” he says.

Seeing the man’s face light up as the data was being recovered one picture after another “was just incredible,” adds Mr Njoroge.

The IT expert is currently being trained at NSE ahead of the company’s listing.

EADH will be the first technology company to list on the Growth and Enterprise Market Segment. Another IT firm, Empire Microsystems, is also planning to list.

From having only two directors, the company has constituted a six-member board that includes Julian Kyula, the chief executive officer of Mobile Decisioning who is the chairman; Prof Peter Kagwanja, the founding executive of Africa Policy Institute; Andrew Kariu Loketo, a lawyer; and Mr Njoroge. Two women are expected to join the board.

“We are listing by introduction and we want to make the best out of it,” he offers.

The company has an office in Tanzania and plans to have a presence in 10 countries by the end of next year with at least 100 employees.

And eight years after the unfortunate event cut short his academic pursuits, Mr Njoroge will next month join other graduates at Inoorero University.

He advises people who would want to venture into business to be passionate and stop being copycats. “It’s a problem I have seen where, if you start a photocopying business and it’s doing well, I come and set up a similar business next door. And before we know it, there are five of us offering same services,” he says.

Mr Njoroge adds: “I always advise people to get a niche idea and run with it. Do it as if there is no tomorrow.”

Mr Njoroge also warns young investors not to be duped by profiteering venture capitalists and incubation centres to give away shares. “Imagine what would have happened had I given away, say 30 per cent? If possible, patent your idea as fast as possible,” he advises.

Why start-ups often fail

That 33-year-old George Njoroge has built a company from scratch and turned it into a multi-million-shilling entity in eight years is no mean achievement. Many have tried and failed miserably.

A 2007 report from the Kenya Bureau of Statistics found that 60 per cent of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) collapsed within just a few months of their creation.And, according to a study by the US Small Business Association, only two-thirds of all small business start-ups survive the first two years, and less than half make it to four years.

Nikhil Hira, a partner at Deloitte & Touche, says many Kenyan start-ups fail due to lack of proper planning.

“People have ideas but do not necessarily have a business plan to support them. This could mean insufficient analysis of the market available, insufficient working capital and insufficient resources, both financial and human,” he says.

Entrepreneurs, he adds, should also understand whether the structure they are using is correct.

“Once you set up something it is often difficult to reverse it. Finally understanding your tax obligations is critical as getting it wrong is expensive,” he notes.

Mr Hira says people must plan in advance before setting up. “A robust business plan is essential and once you have one, you must follow it. Avoid getting yourself bogged down in expensive debt,” he adds.

“You must plan your cash flow. A lot of the failures happen because people spend before they earn. You must be able to handle your growth and control it. Rapid growth may be good but if not managed, it is often the reason for failure.”

In his book, Small Business Management, Michael Ames lists the reasons for small business failure as lack of experience, insufficient capital (money), poor location, poor inventory management, over-investment in fixed assets and poor credit arrangement management. Others, Prof Ames says, are personal use of business funds and unexpected growth. Gustav Berle, in The Do It Yourself Business book, adds two more reasons to Prof Ames’ list: competition and low sales.

To protect your company from being part of the start-up failure statistics, experts advise that you should think grandiose, but zoom in on a niche.

“I’d say the best advice would be just to get started and once you find something, focus and execute. Don’t try to be everything to everyone right away. If you pick one vertical and do it well, other folks will find you. From a narrow niche of IT professionals who were our early target market, we now have a wide variety of customers,” advises Christian Reber, founder and CEO of 6Wunderkinder, a successful German software start-up.

Sunny Bindra, a management consultant, argues that most entrepreneurs start businesses for all the wrong reasons: because they hate being employed; because they want to be their own bosses; because they want to make a lot of money.

“Those are not good enough reasons to succeed in business; you have to have something distinctive and a great deal of determination to take you through the twists and turns of business life,” he says.

“It’s not for everyone. Focus on your customer, not yourself. Solve problems; meet needs; be unique.”

Mr Bindra adds that protection against an early grave for your business does not come from greed or self-aggrandizement. “That just makes you take short-cuts, instead of building true competitive advantage,” he offers.

The RCIA Team

Printer-friendly version

Our Current RCIA candidates.

RCIA 2013

How does a person become Catholic?

The Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults (commonly known as the RCIA) or joining the Catechumenate is the recommended manner in which adults become full, active, participating members of the Catholic Church. People who go through this process may not be baptized, or may have already been baptized in another Christian Church, or may be baptized Catholic but have not been actively involved in the Church and have not received the sacraments of Eucharist or Confirmation.  The initiation process helps adults to grow in their relationship with God, become familiar with Catholic teachings and practices, and get involved in service within the parish or the wider community.

Our RCIA group meets every Monday Evening from 7:00pm-9:00pm. We will begin meeting in September 2011. Please call Sr. Dianne, Christian Initiation coordinator, for more information or if you might be interested in discussing further how you might complete your initiation into the Church.

Children of Catechetical age (7 years or older) who were not baptized as infants or baptized in other Christian denominations and wish to become Catholic or who have missed Confirmation or first Eucharist are prepared through the Rite of Christian Initiation for children. Children spend several months in  the initiation process, preparing through prayer, scripture, catechesis and ritual. Parental involvement and regular attendance at Sunday liturgies are necessary. Sessions will  begin sometime  in September 2011.  Please call Sr. Dianne for more information.

Some comments from this year’s newly initiated members, sponsors and team members:

"When I first started this journey last September, I was scared, emotional and inquisitive. I didn't know what to expect when I walked into our first meeting.The RCIA program has given me so much this past year.. It has opened my eyes and heart to God again. I had lost my way to God a few years ago and was so happy to have found my faith again. My sponsor, who is also my good friend , has been a wall of support for me.I really enjoyed dismissals on Sunday because they have helped me to apply the Gospel to my everyday life each week.This is a practice I have kept from my classes.I enjoyed sharing this experience with the other Candidates because we each talked about how our beliefs have affected our lives and how our faith has brought us closer to each other. Over all the RCIA experience has given me a sense of belonging to the faith community of St. Anne's Church and a deeper sense of being closer to God. These sessions have helped me enrich my faith deeper than I ever thought was possible" Susan Poelzer- Initiated into the Catholic Faith

"My RCIA journey  was a wonderful surprise! I approached SR. Dianne about attending RCIA just to further my own faith development. Somehow, I got roped into being a sponsor, and it was the most amazing blessing. The young lady I sponsored  is such a beautiful person. She shared so much of herself, her spirituality and her life that I came away feeling I received a lot more than I gave. I could have just attended the meetings and still developed my own faith as a result, but journeying with someone eager to learn, hungry for our Catholic Faith that we take so often for granted, was the most amazing blessing of all." Keri Kotyk - Sponsor

"Being on the RCIA team this year has once again surprised me. At the end of every year I think 'well that certainly was wonderful, I can't imagine next year being any better.'  5 years on the RCIA team, continues to be an experience that amazes me. The priviledge of being able to journey with these adults always gives me far more than I could ever hope to give them. My faith continues to grow as does my understanding, my acceptance, and my absolute awe of God. Watching Him work in the lives of the RCIAcandidates and catechumens is always a  reflection of how He continues to work in my life." Sherry Mountain - Team Member

Getting to CHS Field

Five Run Fifth Propels Saints To Home Opener Victory, 6-4 Over Dogs

ST. PAUL, MN May 21, 2018

Through the first four innings the St. Paul Saints had trouble figuring out Chicago Dogs starter Connor Root.  It was the second time through the order, however, where the Saints began to figure him out and a five run fifth was enough for a 6-4 victory on Monday afternoon during the Saints home opener at CHS Field in front of 8,122.  The win improves the Saints to 3-1 on the season.

          With the Saints trailing 1-0 in the fifth Jayce Boyd led off with a single to right.  Noah Perio Jr. then slugged a double to left-center putting runners at second and third.  Perio Jr. finished the day 3-4 and is 8-18 on the season.  Dante Bichette Jr., who joined Perio Jr. as the only Saints to collect a hit in all four games, singled both runners home to give the Saints a 2-1 lead.  After back-to-back strikeouts Josh Allen started a two-out rally with a single to left moving Bichette Jr. to second.  A walk to Richard Prigatano loaded the bases and Max Murphy unloaded them with a double to right giving the Saints a 5-1 lead.  Murphy went 2-4 with a double and three RBI.

          Saints starter Matt Solter was solid through the first five innings.  He allowed a first inning run when he walked leadoff hitter Kyle Gaedele.  A groundout moved Gaedele to second and, with two outs, Craig Maddox singled him home.  Solter would settle down and put up zeroes in the second through fifth.

          In the sixth Solter appeared to tire a little when he loaded the bases by walking Matt Telesco, gave up a single to Maddox, and walked Wilfredo Rodriguez.  Solter departed for reliever Beck Wheeler who immediately got a double play ground out that plated a run to make it 5-2.  A hit by pitch and an RBI single by Michael Baca made it 5-3.  Solter would go 5.0+ and give up three runs on four hits while walking four and striking out three.

          The teams traded runs after that with the Saints picking up a run in the bottom of the seventh when Kes Carter reached on an infield single, advanced to second on a sacrifice bunt by Allen, and scored on Prigatano’s RBI single making it 6-3 Saints.

          The Dogs answered with a run in the eighth off of reliever Mike Devine.  With one out Matt Dean singled and went to third on a Joe Benson single.  Baca’s sacrifice fly scored Dean.

          Tom Wilhelmsen closed it out in the ninth for his first save of the season.

          The same two teams meet in the second game of the three-game series on Tuesday evening at 7:05 p.m.  The Saints send RHP Vinny Nittoli (NR) against Dogs LHP Tommy Thorpe (NR).  The Saints unveil Monument Pork, presented by CHS, as they induct three pigs: The Saint (1993), Notorious P.I.G. - Piggy Smalls (2003), and Little Red Porkette (2016).  The first 1,500 fans in attendance will receive a Saints Ball Pig Triple Bobble presented by CHS.  The game can be seen on the Saints Cable Network, cable access channels in and around the Twin Cities, and heard on Alt 93.3 FM.

The good, the great and the not so great

Ive been meaning to do this for a while and what better time is there than a blustery Friday afternoon when you’re supposed to be working. None better I say.

Cleaning out the mental clutter and getting things down into chronological lists is what women do best after all. I think it’s in our genetic make-up somewhere.

What I have in mind is something along the lines of getting to know me, getting to know myself type of thing.

Or something.

Here it goes.

My latest book list of awesomeness

The Da-da-de-da-da Code by Robert Rankin. Everyone should read Robert Rankin at least once in their life. He makes me giggle to myself in ways that I’m sure other people don’t find healthy. Granted, the humour is strictly based around British culture but only someone born in a shoebox kept under the sink for most of their lives wont get it.

M is for Magic by Neil Gaiman. This is a collection of short stories targeted mostly towards children but those are my favourite. Ranging between scary and just plain wonderful its just simply Gaiman. Nuff said.

Links of wonderdom

Completely random cartoons that will either make you cry or wonder what the hell just happened to the last ten minutes of your life. Go there anyway.

Martian Skies
Because Dust Devils are just that cool!

I waste such a huge amount of time on this site its not even funny. I have three pets, a Neohome, a Neoshop, a Neobank account and no social life.

Things that are not so great (in order of suckiness)

Ridiculous deadlines
The lack of reliable time machines
Not being able to say the right thing to friends who are going through a rough patch
Blogging about registry cleaners and not having anything new to say about them
Sick cats
American versions of British novels
My mother’s cooking

Upcoming things to be excited about

Hoerskool Jan van Riebeeck are putting on a stage production of my book called GIF as part of their gala evening on the 19th July. The play is the brainchild of Andre Bester. I’m beyond excited and I cant wait to see what they have in store.

I’ll make sure to take some pictures of the event and thank everyone properly.

How to make a nice woman?

Each woman lives in anticipation of a miracle. Girls are very naive and think that a loved one is ready to remove a star from the sky for their sake. Maybe, of course, it is. But often a man simply does not understand what is wanted of him. Let's see in this article how to make a nice woman. It should be clarified that men should not promise to their loved ones what they cannot give. The strong floor can tell a lot of things, but the girls take everything literally. And as a result, dreams are broken and expectations are deceived.

How to make a woman nice

  • Make your sweetheart easy and simple enough. The main thing is to make surprises. You can buy her some little animal. Of course, the girl will be delighted. But it provided that she loves animals, and she does not have allergies to wool. Otherwise, the surprise will not work.
  • If a man is a romantic and loves to surprise, then the girl is waiting for a surprise on every date. In this case, she will be delighted with both the golden ring and the rose. The point is not in the value of the gift, but in the attention.It is very important for her to understand what her lover wanted to do to her.
  • You can hit your favorite inscription on the pavement, under its windows, about your feelings.
  • Alternatively, not requiring special material costs, you can pick a girl a huge bouquet of wildflowers or lilacs.
  • If any of your bad habits annoys her, eradicate her. Let the beloved see that you are ready to change for the better for her sake.
  • It is very important to say pleasant words to the woman you love. After all, it has long been known that women love with their ears.
  • Arrange your favorite romantic evening, light candles, turn on light music. You can even try to hit your favorite with your culinary skills. This situation simply has to ensure that the two were closer to each other.
  • More often tell your sweetheart about how dear you are to her, how beautiful and sexy.
  • Take her hand, gently hug and cuddle. It is very important for girls to feel a shoulder on which to lean.
  • Kisses play a very important role. This, of course, depends on the place where you are, But, probably, people will understand and not condemn, if you gently and fleetingly kiss your beloved girl in your ear or hair.
  • To surprise and make a girlfriend pleasant, you can record her voice and put it on your phone instead of ringtone or alarm clock.
  • If suddenly your girlfriend is upset, then you just need to go to her, hug, hold her tight and ask what you can help her in this situation. She will be glad to know what means so much to you.
  • If it turned out that you were talking to another girl, and your lady's heart is jealous, then approach her immediately after the conversation, hug, kiss and tell me what beauty she is with you. She will be pleased to know that you appreciate her and single out all the other women.
  • Very pleased with all the girls with a romantic kind and a love letter in the mailbox. And it does not matter at all that no one is writing letters now, since there is the Internet. But, you see, it's so romantic.
  • If you are going to meet someone from relatives or friends, then imagine your favorite one as “my beloved girlfriend”, it will be very nice to her.
  • Lift your beloved in your arms All women dream of men wearing them in their arms and never let them go. It is clear and understandable that you still have to let go, but let the sweetheart be happy in these moments.
  • Stroll through the park for hands, jump through the puddles. Feel like children.Imagine that besides you two, in the whole world there is no one else.
  • Tell jokes, laugh favorite.
  • Give the girl flowers. And let them, of course, deliver them by courier, and, late at night or early in the morning. She will be pleasantly surprised. Let her feel that you love her and think about her day and night.
  • If you are apart, then often call, write SMS, and say how hard it is for you without it.
  • Always listen to her. Even if what she tells you is not at all interesting. She also watches football with you, which is not at all delighted with. Deliver also your beloved joy.
  • If you have already tried all of the above and do not know how to surprise and please your beloved girlfriend, then you can buy a lot of balloons, write her name on them and, putting them all together in one huge “bouquet”, let them go to the sky together.
  • You can kiss your favorite in the rain. It is very romantic and one hundred percent will not leave her indifferent. It is that rainy day she will remember forever.

Now you know what a nice woman. Give your beloved joy, and she will give you happiness. A satisfied woman is always happy to do household chores and loves her husband more.

All The Game In The Name Of Ram!

ప్రశాంత్ భూషణ్ ఫైల్ ఫోటో

Hey Ram! Gandhi Was assassinated!
Jai Sree Ram! Babri was demolished!
Ram Sena!Prashant Bhushan was attacked!

The attackers in all the three incidents were invariably the devotees of Rama.

In the first case one devotee of Rama (Godse) killed another devotee of Rama.
In the second, the devotees of Rama resorted to this attack for the sake or Rama.
In the third case the attackers call themselves Ram Sena, to hit Prashant Bhushan, a close aide of Anna Hazare, a devotee of Rama.

With the third event, it has been proven the home grown Hindu fundamentalism is in no way inferior to other forms of fundamentalism of other religions outside the country. These fundamentalists know pretty well, that the majority of Indians oppose acts of this kind. Still they resort to attacks of this nature once in a while.

Some outfits of Hindu fundamentalism (like Abhinav Bharath) were accused in Mecca Maszid bombing and in Ajmer Dargah attack in the year 2007.

Chidambaram, the Union Minister of Home, once sarcastically called it as ‘Saffron Terrorism’. In order to show the Indian minority communities in bad light and there by mustering the support of majority Hindus, these outfits perform violent tricks.

While India is under seize by Islamic Terrorism, this ‘Saffron Terrorism’is adding fuel to the fire. Though BJP and Shiva Sena are the beneficiaries of these acts, they disown these fundamental outfits on record.

Any sort of fundamentalism is a menace to secular fabric of Indian democracy

-Satish Chandar

Never MInd the Bollards

As you knew he would, Mark Steyn has some choice words about the latest feat of vehicular jihad:
And so, on a buckled, broken bicycle on the Hudson River Greenway, the wheel comes full circle. America and every other major western nation thought the appropriate response to 9/11 was to show how nice we are by dramatically increasing the rate of mass Muslim immigration. Sayfullo Habibullaevic Saipov was among the many beneficiaries of the west's suicide by virtue-signaling. "Sayfullo" is a Central Asian rendering of "Saifallah" - or "Sword of Allah". Hmm, what a fascinating name! Do you think whichever brain-dead bureaucrat who gave Sword of Allah's online Green Card application the once-over (assuming anyone did) so much as gave the name a second glance? And so, because we did not take an act of war seriously in 2001, we are relentlessly harassed and diminished by unending micro-jihad - in Copenhagen, in Toulouse, in San Bernadino, in Calgary, Barcelona, Parsons Green ...and now on a bike path 300 feet from where we came in sixteen years ago.
Meanwhile, Daniel Greenfield decries the bone-headed sang froid of authorities who, on such horrific occasions, trot out the same old spin:
Governor Andrew Cuomo pointed out another hallmark of a vehicle assault. The perp, he said, was one of those “lone wolves” who “meant to cause pain and harm and probably death and the resulting terror.”
But it takes a pack to raise a lone wolf. Even if Saipov acted alone, he was part of a growing ideological fraternity numbering in the tens of thousands who now inhabit every region of the globe. Those seeking eternal glory have staged similar attacks in at least a dozen other cities—from Nice to Paris to Barcelona to London to Jerusalem. Like the attacks in these cities, the Halloween attack in Lower Manhattan was aimed at inflicting maximum carnage. Schools in the area were letting out students shortly after three o’clock when Saipov drove his rented truck off West Houston Street onto the bike path. There was no shortage of targets. The streets between West Houston and Chambers were crowded with parents picking up their costumed children prepared for an evening of trick-or-treating. Pedestrians and bikers on the Hudson River bike path were stunned and helpless as Saipov careened his weapon through the crowd.
These days it's all about "lone wolves" following ISIS's orders to mow us down. And, pace the bland assurances of those who run things, we, my friends, are the jihadis' sitting--or standing, or biking--ducks.

Update: Speaking of the same old spin, I, for one, are growing very tired of Trump's silly and overused phrase, "extreme vetting."

Why silly? Because what's needed isn't "extreme" vetting. What's needed is effective vetting of extremists. And that, as we know, is far easier said than done.

Update: Andrew McCarthy has this to say on the topic of "extreme vetting":
Ever quick with a tweet, President Trump reacted last night by asserting (among other things): “I have just ordered Homeland Security to step up our already Extreme Vetting Program. Being politically correct is fine, but not for this.”
But he is being politically correct. After all, what is it that “Extreme Vetting” is vetting for? No one wants to say. Why? Because, as we’ve been contending here for months, the ill-considered, ineffectual “travel bans” have pushed the Trump administration into a posture that makes screening for sharia supremacism much more difficult.
Not that "screening for sharia supremacism" is any more doable than screening for "extremism."

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

Tax Cuts and Jobs Act

President Trump signed the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “TCJA” or the “new law”) into law on December 22, 2017, and it makes wholesale revisions to the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), affecting both individuals and businesses. The changes to the Code include modifications of income tax rates, deductions and credits, international corporate taxation, and many other tax rules. The new law will take effect on December 31, 2017, and, due to the Senate’s budget constraints, will expire after 2025; at that time, the Code will revert to the old law unless Congress elects to preserve the TCJA. Returns for the 2018 will be the first to apply these new rules.

What follows is a summary of the new law’s revisions to the Code, and their effects on both individuals and entities. CLICK HERE to see the new tax brackets for 2018.

The TCJA eliminates the personal exemption in favor of a higher standard deduction.

The TCJA repeals the overall limitation on itemized deductions. Under old law, the total amount of otherwise allowable deductions was limited for certain upper-income taxpayers under § 68 of the Code.

The new law temporarily increases the exemption amount and the exemption amount phase-out for the individual AMT to $70,300 ($109,400 for married couples filing jointly) and $500,000 ($1 million for married couples filing jointly) respectively. The exemption and phase-out are indexed for inflation. These changes take effect for the tax years beginning after December 31, 2017 and expire January 1, 2026.

The corporate AMT is permanently repealed.

The TCJA provides owners of pass-through entities (LLCs, S Corporations, general partnerships, and sole proprietorships) a 20% deduction on qualified business income. This deduction is limited to $315,000 for married couples filing a joint return and $157,500 for individual taxpayers operating a personal service business. For the purposes of this revision, “qualified business income” includes the net amount of qualified items of income, gain, deduction, and loss with respect to the individual’s qualified trade or business; these items must be effectively connected to the conduct of a trade or business within the US. “Qualified business income” does not include a shareholder’s reasonable compensation, guaranteed payments, or payments to a partner who is acting in a capacity other than partner.

The new law limits the itemized deduction for SALT to $10,000, taking state and local property, sales, and income taxes into consideration. Alternatively, the TCJA continues to allow unlimited SALT deductions in carrying on a trade or business. Foreign real estate taxes do not apply to the deduction.

The new law allows taxpayers to claim mortgage interest deductions on up to $750,000 in mortgage debt, which is down from $1,000,000 under old law. This change does not affect homeowners who already have a mortgage, and the old deduction limit will apply.

Further, the new law suspends deductions on home equity loans until 2025.

The “Kiddie Tax” applies to children under the age of nineteen (or twenty-four if the child is a student) whose net unearned income exceeds $2,100 in a taxable year. The new law splits this income into two parts, where the amount up to $2,100 is taxed at the child’s rate, and the amount exceeding $2,100 is taxed at the parents’ rate (see above tables for applicable rates).

While the House’s version of the bill proposed to repeal the estate tax, the final version of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act keeps the estate tax intact. The final law increases the lifetime estate and gift exclusion from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 (this amount is adjusted for inflation, so while the exclusion was $5,490,000 in 2017, that amount would double to almost $11,000,000). This means that if a taxpayer’s taxable estate is less than or equal to $10,000,000, the estate would not incur any tax liability.

Miscellaneous Itemized Deductions: Prior to the amendments imposed under the TCJA, miscellaneous itemized deductions could only be claimed to the extent the deductions exceeded 2% of a taxpayer’s adjusted gross income. The new law, however, suspends all deductions that were previously affected by this limitation until 2025.

Alimony: Under old law, alimony and separate maintenance payments were included in the recipient’s gross income and deductible by the payor. The new law amends this treatment by disallowing a deduction by the payor. This change applies to any divorce or separation agreement entered into after December 31, 2018.

Retirement Accounts: The laws pertaining to the permitted contributions to retirement accounts (401(k)s, IRAs, and Roth IRAs) are largely untouched by the TCJA. However, the new law prevents the recharacterization of contributions to unwind a Roth IRA. For example, contributions to a traditional IRA that are later recharacterized to Roth contributions are not permitted. Alternatively, contributions to Roth IRAs can be recharacterized to traditional IRA contributions before the individual files his or her tax return.

Limitations on Losses: Beginning December 31, 2017 through January 1, 2026, excess business losses incurred by a taxpayer other than a corporation will not be allowed, and will be considered part of the taxpayer’s net operating losses that can be carried forward. Excess business losses are the excess of aggregate deductions of the taxpayer attributable to the taxpayer’s trade or business over the sum of aggregate gross income or gain of the taxpayer plus a threshold amount; the threshold amount for a taxable year is $250,000, which is indexed for inflation. This provision will apply at the partner (partnership) or shareholder (S Corp.) level after the passive laws rules in § 469 of the Internal Revenue Code have been applied.

Medical Expenses: The TCJA expands the deduction for unreimbursed medical expenses, reducing the threshold from 10% to 7.5% of adjusted gross income.

Contributions to Public Charities: The percentage limit for cash contributions to public charities increases from 50% to 60%.

Child Tax Credits: Married couples filing jointly earning up to $400,000 in gross income a permitted to claim $2,000 in credits per child, and $1,400 is refundable. For other taxpayers, the credit phases out after $200,000 in gross income.

Casualty Losses: Taxpayers can only claim a deduction for casualty losses in presidentially declared disasters under the new law.

Moving Expenses: The exclusion from gross income and wages for qualified moving expense reimbursements is suspended through 2025. This provision does not apply to members of the armed forces on active duty who move pursuant to a military order.

Affordable Care Act Individual Mandate: The individual mandate imposed under the Affordable Care Act will be repealed starting in 2019, and those who do not choose to purchase a health insurance plan pursuant to the ACA will not incur penalties.

§ 179 Expensing for Depreciable Assets: The new law increases the maximum amount a taxpayer may expense under § 179 of the Code to $1 million, and increases the phase-out threshold amount to $2.5 million; the amounts are indexed for inflation for the taxable years beginning after 2018.

The TCJA further expands the definition of § 179 property to include certain depreciable tangible property used predominantly to furnish lodging or in connection with furnishing lodging. The new law expands the definition of qualified real property eligible for § 179 expensing as well, allowing the following improvements to nonresidential real property placed in service after the date such property was first placed in service: roofs, heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning property; fire protection and alarm systems; and security systems.

Net Operating Losses: The TCJA limits the deduction for net operating losses to 80% of taxable income (determined without regard to the deduction). Taxpayers may carry net operating losses forward indefinitely. The two-year carryback and special net operating loss carryback provisions are repealed.

Certain Self-Created Property Not Treated as a Capital Asset: The new law amends § 1221(a)(3) of the Code, and excludes patents, inventions, models or designs (whether or not patented), and secrets formulas or processes (whether self-created or purchased) from the definition of “capital asset,” and the sale of these assets will not be considered a capital gain or loss.

Like-Kind Exchanges: Like-kind exchanges falling under § 1031 of the Code are limited to exchanges of real property that is not held primarily for sale. The new law generally applies to exchanges completed after December 31, 2017; however, this provision does not apply if property was disposed of in the exchange prior to December 31, 2017 or if property was received prior to that date.

Entertainment Expenses and Fringe Benefits: The TCJA disallows a deduction with respect to (1) an activity generally considered to be entertainment, amusement, or recreation; (2) membership dues with respect to any club organized for business, pleasure, recreation, or other social purposes; or (3) a facility or portion thereof used in connection with any of the above items.

Additionally, the new law disallows a deduction for expenses associated with providing any qualified transportation fringe to employees of the taxpayer, and except as necessary for ensuring the safety of an employee, any expense incurred for providing transportation (or any payment or reimbursement) for commuting between the employee’s residence and place of employment.

Meals: For amounts incurred and paid between December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2025, the TCJA expands the 50% deduction limitation for employee meal expenses to those expenses associated with providing food and beverages to employees through an eating facility that meets requirements for de minimis fringes and for the convenience of the employer. The amounts incurred and paid after December 31, 2025 will not be deductible.

Partnership Technical Terminations: The new law repeals the rule from § 708(b)(1) of the Code providing technical terminations of partnerships. The provision does not change the present-law rule of § 708(b)(1)(A) that a partnership is considered as terminated if no part of any business, financial operation, or venture of the partnership continues to be carried on by any of its partners in a partnership.

Amortization of Research and Experimental Expenditures: The new law requires businesses to capitalize and amortize ratably over a five-year period amounts defined as specified research or experimental expenditures. Specified research or experimental expenditures that are attributable to research that is conducted outside the US must be capitalized ratably over a 15-year period.

Year of Inclusion: The TCJA requires accrual-method taxpayers subject to the all-events test to recognize items of gross income for tax purposes in the year in which they recognize the income on their applicable financial statement. The new law provides an exception for taxpayers without an applicable or other IRS-specified financial statement.

Compensation for Covered Employees: The TCJA revises the definition of a covered employee under § 162(m) of the Code to include both the principle executive officer and the principle financial officer, and reduces the number of other officers included to the three most highly compensated officers for the tax year. If the individual is a covered employee for any tax year after 2016, that individual will remain a covered employee for all future years. The new law also removes current exceptions for commissions and performance-based compensation. The new law does not apply to any remuneration under a written contract that was in effect on November 2, 2017, and that was not later modified in any material respect.

Territorial Taxation System: The TCJA shifts to the territorial tax system, which imposes US tax on domestic income. This is opposed to the old, worldwide system, where the US taxed income earned from both foreign and domestic sources.

Foreign-Source Income: The new law allows an exemption for certain foreign income by means of a 100% deduction for the foreign-source portion of dividends received from specified 10% owned foreign corporations by domestic corporations.

Foreign Tax Credit: No foreign tax credit or deduction will be allowed for any taxes paid or accrued with respect to a dividend that qualifies for the deduction.

A caw that was chained for all of her life reacts to getting free for the first time – it is very emotional

chaining and keeping animals have a very bad effect in their mental health and it has been proven via epigenetics  in their even food products (such as their meat or milk or other products). there has been some humanitarian movement to increase the production of free range farm animal to both improve their living condition and make the industry less cruel and also improve the quality of their products. Even if one doesn’t believe in the epigenetics and the the psychological effect of environment on the quality of far product, there is always this argument that having the animal chose what to eat will improve their diet and therefore improve both their quantity and quality of their products. Please take a look at this video and feel the sense of freedom:

The wasted money that is being spent in NASA labs debbed Jupiter simulation

credit: NASA

The elementary school examination that made it to the top of Harvard Gazette and the lake of critical voice in the scientific society. Read this to see why it made me sad to see the horrible that the science community news and commentary is in.

I just put the word science and news on the google search machine to find something good and reported here (cause, I have extra time to sort trough the stuff and pick the good ones for you and let you read and enjoy it… I know! you are welcome). I saw the name “Harvard Gazette” and “science blog” and couple of more… opened the up.

Ann no one behold! in the “science blog”, most of the posts where written by the Atheist+ himself…. Mr. P.Z Myers… and the first couple of them were about the global warming (he wasn’t updated by the con artist for the name change… cause like any other con, the global warming, Ozone layer and now  man made-unsustainable climate change; need a name change, every once in a while). So, like any self respecting writer; I closed that tab and went to the next website to find something yummy to post in here.

The next website was the “Harvard Gazette”. With a quick look at the site… I found the popular article tab (which should be a way to sort through tons of garbage to get something worth while). The most poplar one looked like some sort of Uber ad disguised as editorial note…

Scrolling down was an article by this name “Unveiling Jupiter’s mysteries”, no author was mentioned under the article and just a phrase “editorial pick”.

I said to myself: “Ok, let me read this one now.”

The just of the article is this: “they have observed that the liquid hydrogen can change to liquid metal”. I remember when I was at middle school, they have thought us that: “the matter can have three stages: 1-gas 2- liquid 3- solid.

There you go! This is just sad! there are four or five names in this article with prof. and PhD prefixes and apparently they have published an article in physical review B.

My question is: “what happened to the science?”. Maybe it is because people in the scientific news or science community have gotten corrupt and just want to keep the status quote. I try to expose some of it here. Let’s see if we can solve this issue. I say we, because I need you guys help to. Help as, sharing the articles and keep reading them and so on.

I’m going to find some more articles to write in here.

Bye for now!
