Album Review of Gallipoli by Beirut.
Threaded through with head honcho Zach Condon's musical adventurousness, Beiruit's latest outing is lit up by luminous hooks, at times feeling like a victory lap for all that the band has achieved In winter of 2016, Beirut's headh honcho Zach Condon started writing music on his Farfisa organ. This was the same instrument on which the band's acclaimed debut 'Gulag Orkestar' was written over a decade earlier. The group’s debut dazzled with its juxtaposition of Balkan folk with capricious indie; crunchy syncopated rhythms were combined with lilting festival-ready choruses, and the result was a hugely impressive, if unusual, first album.
The fifth full-length by Zach Condon's Beirut, Gallipoli is a sequel of sorts to 2015's No No No in that it returns co-producer Gabe Wax and employs similar instrumentation, including Condon's Farfisa organ. An instrument that he acquired at his first job at a community art space in his hometown of Santa Fe, New Mexico, it had been left behind by a (literal) traveling circus and ended up serving as the main writing tool for Condon's first two Beirut albums. With that free-spirited background in mind as well as the fact that Wax has acted as recording engineer for bands like The War on Drugs and Fleet Foxes, where Gallipoli differs from its predecessor is in its level of vibrancy.
The test of a good Beirut song: Does it move you to tears and inexplicably so? "Gallipoli," the first single from Zach Condon's latest, passes the litmus in its first three bars. Like "Elephant Gun" and "The Rip Tide," standouts from Beirut's patina-stained oeuvre that can involuntarily overcome the most stoic with brass and a mournful cadence, his first words here: "We tell tales to be known," ring like a credo. It quickly reveals an album with fully formed ideas of mortality, memory, and misgivings drawn from a palpable emotional core, largely absent from amenable last LP, 2015's No No No.
After releasing the unfulfilling No No No in 2015, the trajectory of Zach Condon, the mastermind behind Beirut, pointed downward. Uninspired, the band's original charm went out the window with their last album. Gone was the transportive Balkan mystique of Gulag Orkestar, the French flair of follow-up The Flying Club Cup, and in came a spiritless injection of indie pop triteness with No, No, No.
Beirut's Zach Condon came up in the tender landscape of mid-aughts indie rock and has been chilling there ever since. After nearly four years freewheeling throughout both New York and Europe, he is back with Gallipoli, which is neither named after the World War I battle nor a reference to the terrible Mel Gibson movie (also about the World War I battle). On Gallipoli, Condon is still doing the same exact thing he's been doing the past 13 years--creating roomy, Elephant 6-indebted indie pop that sounds more or less like a readymade soundtrack for a young film student trying to front as an auteur.
'Gallipoli', the fifth album from Zach Condon's Beirut saw him (literally) returning to practices of old. The record was written on the same Farfisa organ used to write his first two albums as Beirut (2006's 'Gulag Orkestar' and the following year's 'The Flying Club Cup'). As such, there's a gorgeous familiarity to the record, but it's also one peppered with adventure.
F our years have passed since the previous Beirut record, but they remain - soothingly and dismayingly - much the same. The brass is still pitched somewhere between Burnley and the Balkans, proud but wobbly, with the occasional duff note kept unedited to better signify frail humanity. Ukuleles are strummed as if heralding the arrival of the bride at an indie-Pinterest wedding.
Zac Condon shipped his organ - previously owned by a traveling circus' keyboard player - from Santa Fe to New York in order to write this album. 'Gallipoli' is almost as enchanting as that story. Written on the same organ as the first two Beirut albums, this record is undoubtedly of the same ilk, which is a little disappointing until you acknowledge that this is Condon doing what he does best: making emotionally driven, nuanced songs with a Balkan heart that transport you into a black and white memory.

It just occurred to me how civil the language is on Tumblr, in total absence of the FCC or any other regulating body. I rarely use vulgar language on here (relative to how often the words pop into my head!).
For me, it’s because I take pride in my tumblelog as a high-quality representation of myself and my interests. I don’t want to deface something I take pride in. I try to avoid swearing in Marco.org articles for the same reason (with one big exception — note the date).
Maybe it’s related to the broken-window theory, where being in nice surroundings encourages you to keep them nice, while you don’t give a second thought to making a bad environment worse (littering in a dump, peeing on the side of the football house during a keg party in college).
IRC, online game chat, and most forums are such dumps that it’s easy to dump more swearing, hate, and personal attacks into them. But Tumblr is nice and doesn’t seem appropriate to vandalize.

A long discussion has been running on The Architects’ Journal’s LinkedIn page about the Yunnan Kunming Wenhua Technology Co in China. The thread started six months ago, and is still active.
This is a company that is scamming aspirant architects by dangling potential contracts in front of them, and then asking for presents – cigarettes, mainly, but a lot of them – and also asking for money up front to defray bank charges before transferring funds.
The sums seem relatively small for the effort that goes into them – for instance the company has laid on lavish banquets – and gulled architects’ seem mostly to suffer lost time and travel costs rather than having their accounts plundered in a serious way. Which makes it all a bit mysterious.
This is at another level from those international lottery wins and transfers of inheritances to which we have all become wise on the internet. China is a promising market, and architects know that it does not operate in the same way as the UK, so are ready for things to seem a little strange. They may not have suffered much financially, but pride must be dented at the very least, and it is not nice to see hopes of work evaporate.
Let’s hope this scam dies out in 2013.

Turkey this week submitted the extradition request to Washington for the Pennsylvania-based Imam, Fethullah Gülen, suspected as the mastermind of the failed coup in the country.
Top U.S. officials responded to the Turkish government's extradition request, and said they would review the materials as soon as possible. The U.S. government, however, decided to ignore Turkey's concerns by inviting leading Gülenists to a reception at the White House hosted by President Barack Obama on Thursday.
President of the Rumi Forum, Emre Çelik and President of the Turkic American Alliance (TAA) attended the Eid Reception at the White House. The Rumi Forum's website says its honorary president is Fethullah Gülen. TAA is also known to be a Gülenist business organization for Turkish-American entrepreneurs. A quick search on TAA's website brings up countless articles in support of Gülen and his ideas.
Thousands of Turks marched and chanted today for the extradition of Fethullah Gülen from the United States on Istanbul's iconic Bosporus Bridge, where putschists killed at least two unarmed civilians and injured dozens. In return, Rumi Forum's Çelik took selfies at the White House and smiled to cameras. "Special meetings in the Green Room #WhiteHouse" he tweeted.
This is not the first time that the White House showed its support for Gülen-run institutes in Washington.
President Obama sent a letter to Gülen-tied "International Festival of Language and Culture" (IFLC), held in Washington last April. Obama underlined the IFLC's efforts to unite young people from across the globe. The festival was co-hosted by the Rumi Forum and TAA.
Previously, The White House officials declined to comment on the letter.
Meanwhile the US Department of State offered assistance to Turkish authorities in the extradition process of Fethullah Gülen as well as forming a joint team to work through the process.
Speaking to reporters Thursday, State Department Spokesperson John Kirby said "We have offered, as the Justice Department has offered to assist Turkish authorities as they work through this extradition process. We've even offered to host a team, a Turkish team here or to send a team there, a joint team, to help them work through the process."

A next generation recommendation-engine, designed to supersede the "people who bought this, also bought"-breed.
Findsi takes the anonymized individual as its starting-point. Results are always personalized while privacy is guaranteed.
Findsi considers the complete anonymized user set present as the individual’s context. Therefore, results are more accurate.
Findsi is a semantic tool. Nevertheless, it is language agnostic.
Findsi is only accessible through an API. You decide how to display the results. We only empower your decisions.
Despite the inert complexity of the fundamental algorithms and technology, Findsi is built around relatively simple concepts.
Step 1. You collect user (Actor) action logs and send them to findsi.
Step 3. Findsi returns to you a top-N recommendations.
What features are available to you as a consumer, as well as the amount of date returned, depends on the pricing plan you choose.
From this kind of information a layered structure emerges, where a consumer requests results from Findsi based on private identifiers, but where our algorithms work on the public resources. The results, send back to the consumer, will only contain the private identifiers, never the public resources.
By identifying Actors and Targets with public Resources, eventually data overlap will inevitably occur. These joint data sets result in much richer data to be analyzed by our algorithms. Simply put: Behavior of an individual, registered by one consumers application might affect the results returned by Findsi to another consumer’s application. You will still only receive entities that are identified by you, but their selection and ranking will be more precise. NB None of your data will be explicitly shared with other consumers nor will they receive recommendations linking to your entities.
Findsi guarantees privacy of profiled subjects by scrambling the Resources. in other words, our data stores will never contain any plain text Resource representations. As Identifiers are specific, and thus only useful to, a certain consumer, they are stored without any form of encryption. This does not mean that you could not encrypt your own Identifiers, before you send them over to Findsi. It does imply that if you do, you are responsible for the inherent key management and decryption.
All communication with the Findsi API is done over an encrypted HTTPS connection. Each request to our API is related to a consumer, based on an embedded API-key.
If you do not have an API key yet, contact us and we’ll set you up with one.
There is a growing set of language specific SDK’s available on GitHub. If for your technology stack none is available, feel free to contact us, so we can assess the possibilities to create one.
Before you get started, be sure to read through our developer documentation first.
Findsi is still in beta. Before charging anything for the use of our service, we want to make sure that there are no unpleasant bugs, and that the algorithm performs as expected, even under high loads. There’s also, a backlog of potential new features, which we'll only implement if there's actual interest. Be sure to vote!
As we are still in beta we have not yet settled on actual prices. We do have a, still evolving, idea of what plans we will be offering after the beta phase.
If you recognize the value in our services, and are considering to permanently integrate Findsi into you own application, feel free to contact us, so we can discuss ballpark figures. Somewhere in Q3 of 2014, we will publish our final pricing plan. All beta testers will receive a notification when this happens.

Honey If You Love Me... | Youth Group Games | Games, ideas, icebreakers, activities for youth groups, youth ministry and churches.
This is a brilliant circle game!
Basically get a circle of chairs set up and get the whole group to sit in them, except for one person who starts in the middle. This person then has to select someone and gently sit on their lap and say "Honey, if you love me, please give me a smile" (or some variation on that sentence). If the person in the seat smiles or laughs then they have to swap with the person in the middle. It is then their turn to chose someone and start the process again. Obviously, if the person doesn't smile then the middle person has to get up and try it on someone else.
This game can be a fantastic icebreaker.
There has been a lengthy discussion going on about whether this game is appropriate to play at youth group. After lots of back and forth we can see that it's something that is ultimately up to the personal discretion of the youth group and youth leaders. For some youth groups this game may be OK to play and for others it wouldn't be helpful at all.
Some of the questions we all need to consider when we are choosing games to play at our youth group are things like: will it be helpful? Will it be encouraging? If you deem it to be an unhelpful or discouraging game, then maybe it's not for your youth group. And that's OK because, after all, the games on this website are all just ideas - take them or leave them. God bless.

We are where faith and athletics meet -- to go beyond the game of football. Take the experiences that come with athletics (and some unique to football) and use these to mentor and train young Christian men in how to live the rest of their lives...we are trying to use football as a tool to train young men for adult life!
◾To provide an opportunity for young men who don't have a team for which to play football.
◾To provide a Godly environment for football.
The Christian Athletic League of America is committed to providing the best all around athletic experience. We will provide great coaching so players learn the best technique and strategy, in a positive and enthusiastic environment. We are offering strong competition, the best of the game itself, without the negative aspects that have permeated some youth sports in America today.
OUR HISTORY: The motivation to form CALA came from a number of factors. We were aware of the struggles some smaller Christian schools face (many students leave Christian education to go to public school for the chance to play sports -- in particular, football). In addition, we knew terrific athletes that happened to be home-schooled without an opportunity to play football due to current Michigan laws prohibiting them from playing sports at their local public school. With the wise counsel of many and with fervent prayer, God made clear the need for this league.
OUR SPIRITUAL FOCUS: We set out to ensure that Spiritual focus would always make us different...we teach how to play football in a God honoring way. Our original motto 'BUILDING LEADERS AND SERVANTS THROUGH THE GAME OF FOOTBALL' has since been condensed to, 'SERVE, HONOR, LEAD'. In today's world of athletics, the prevailing emphasis on winning has developed into a belief that "win at all costs" should be the norm. At CALA we accept winning on the field only as a product of serving our Lord with excellence in everything we do...from the weight room to the training room, our athletes are expected to give of the themselves in a way to honor God.
OUR VISION: Our vision is to simply provide an atmosphere where youth can participate in athletics in a way that has escaped our society. Play hard, play by the rules, respect your opponent and remember there is no 'I' in team.
WHAT WE DO: We provide our clubs with everything they need to be successful. The league purchases and maintains player equipment, rents stadiums, provides liability insurance, handles grievances, educates coaches, manages officials...in essence we provide everything necessary for the game day experience. Beyond these items we assist teams in fundraisers, promote the league and its member clubs in all forms of media, offer discount purchasing opportunities for additional equipment not provided by the league and organize multi-state tournaments and events designed to integrate our teams with teams from other leagues and states.

i have a fipy here which i can't connect to via FTP.
there are a few strange things about it.
i tried booting in safe mode, the led flashes orange and the module resets, only strange thing the wifi SSID stays the same as it was.
i can connect to the REPL witch UART is there any way i can do something over the REPL.
i also tried flashing new firmware it had about the same effect as booting in safe mode.
i suspect that the FTP ip address is somehow changed, does anyone know how to read that address by the REPL?
no it was something else. i don't remember what the exact problem was.
one thing that is weird is that the WLAN SSID was never changed.
i connected it to pybytes via the REPL and updated the main.py in there and i could connect again.
@Eric-Waai Did you confirm if this was a case of just not having the correct ip?

This statement was originally published on cpj.org on 12 November 2015.
The Committee to Protect Journalists calls on the president of Togo to block a proposed article in the country's penal code that would threaten press freedom. Under the proposed law, journalists could face jail sentences and fines for "false news," according to news reports.
"Laws that seek to criminalize journalism have no place in a democratic country and President Faure Gnassingbé should exercise his authority to ensure that this proposed change to the penal code does not come into effect," said Peter Nkanga, CPJ's West Africa representative.
Togo's parliament passed the new section to the penal code on November 2, according to reports. Article 497 of the law proposes a prison sentence of up to two years and a fine up to 2 million CFA francs (US$3,300) for "the publication, dissemination, or reproduction by any means whatsoever of false news, fabricated parts, falsified or falsely attributed to third parties where, in bad faith, this disturbs the public peace, or is likely to disturb it," according to news reports.
Noel Tadegnon, a freelance journalist and Reuters correspondent in the capital, Lomé, told CPJ that the law will automatically come into effect if Gnassingbé does not pass it or send it for review to the parliament within 15 days of receiving it. CPJ was unable to determine when the president was sent the law.
The proposed change runs contrary to the Press and Communication Code passed in 2004, under which journalists face fines of up to 2 million CFA francs and news outlets face being suspended for up to three months for press offences, according to news reports.
The new penal code would undermine the High Authority for Audo-Visual and Communications, Togo's media regulatory agency which has the authority to hold the press to account, and the Observatoire Togolais des Médias, a self-regulatory body that acts as an ombudsman for journalists, according to reports.
Several local press freedom and rights groups condemned the proposed penal code as an attack on press freedom, and called for Article 497 to be removed or amended to prevent the penal code overriding the existing press law and being used against journalists, according to news reports.
The passing of a new penal code in November toughened legislation on press freedom, criminalizing defamation and false news.

How Often Should Women Have Bone Tests?
Osteoporosis is a disorder marked by weakened bones and an increased risk of fractures. More than 40 million people nationwide either have osteoporosis or are at increased risk for broken bones because of low bone mineral density (osteopenia).
Osteoporosis is often called a "silent disease" because it usually progresses slowly and without symptoms until a fracture occurs. When low bone density is identified early through screening, lifestyle changes and therapies can help protect bone health and reduce the risk of fractures. That's why the U.S. Preventive Services Task Force recommends routine screening of bone mineral density for women ages 65 and older.
To help doctors decide how often to repeat bone density tests in women who don't have osteoporosis at their initial screening, a research team led by Dr. Margaret Gourlay of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill analyzed data on nearly 5,000 women, age 67 or older. The women were participants in the Study of Osteoporotic Fractures, a long-term nationwide study supported by NIH's National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Diseases (NIAMS), National Institute on Aging (NIA) and National Center for Research Resources (NCRR).
Researchers divided the women divided into 4 groups based on initial bone density tests that were either normal or showed mild, moderate or advanced osteopenia. They were given 2 to 5 bone density tests at varying intervals during the 15-year study period.
As reported in the January 19, 2012, issue of the New England Journal of Medicine, the scientists found that less than 1% of women who initially had normal bone mineral density went on to develop osteoporosis during the study. Only 5% of those with mildly low bone density at the start made the transition to osteoporosis. Overall, the data suggest that women in these 2 categories might safely wait about 15 years before being rescreened for osteoporosis.
The scientists also found that about 1 in 10 women with moderate osteopenia at baseline developed osteoporosis within 5 years. For those with advanced osteopenia at the start, about 10% had developed osteoporosis within a year, suggesting that 1-year screening intervals might be advisable for this group.
"If a woman's bone density at age 67 is very good, then she doesn't need to be rescreened in 2 years or 3 years, because we're not likely to see much change," Gourlay says. "Our study found it would take about 15 years for 10% of women in the highest bone density ranges to develop osteoporosis. That was longer than we expected, and it's great news for this group of women."
These findings can help guide doctors in their bone screening recommendations. Other risk factors, such age, medications or specific diseases, would also influence screening frequency.

Well, I'll see what I can come up with.
Still behind from where I wanted to be in the application but, finally, I think I'm not going to have to fight against things not working and not knowing exactly why!
The RDBMS worked as expected and although I wasn't able to setup database permissions the way I want them, that is not going to be a delay, right now. I'll look it up latter.
Now I'm off to home and I just hope I'll be able to write the routines to handle the database creation and handling this night.
Any way, I do wish a very good night/day/morning to you all, here in LJ land!

This year’s NBA playoffs are just getting to the good part and you want to talk next year? Why not? The teams who are still playing will all be back next year anyway. Half of this year’s playoff teams are home now, and those will be the ones who may not be back. So who will be in next year? Or at least have a decent chance? Here are a few teams that could make it.
Philadelphia 76ers- This is predicated on a big “if”. And that is if they can get Andrew Bynum on the court. He is a free agent, and the Sixers may have had it with him. They never got one minute out of him this year and some are saying his knees are degenerating. But IF he can get back on to floor and IF he signs with Philly and IF he is close to his former self, with Jrue Holiday, they could get to the playoffs.
Toronto Raptors- The Raptors got off to a horrible start. But as they got healthier, they were pretty tough. Then they added Rudy Gay and got very tough. If they can add another player in the off-season, then watch out for them next year. Also, if they an keep their starters on the floor, they should be pretty good.
Washington Wizards- A team decimated by injuries and got buried early in the season, was really good in the second half when John Wall came back. If he is healthy all year and with Bradley Beal getting better all the time, the Wizards WILL make it next year, provided they can stay fairly healthy.
OK. So if one or two of them get in, that means somebody who made it this year won’t be back next year. Who might they be?
Atlanta Hawks- A team that seems to be regressing. They were an up and coming team a few years back, but now they just don’t seem to be very good.
Boston Celtics- Old and getting older. Kevin Garnett is likely done. Paul Pierce may be too. The Celtics barely made it this year.
Milwaukee Bucks- They didn’t even play .500 this year. Brandon Jennings is a head case. They could easily slip out of the playoffs.
Portland Trail Blazers- Rookie of the Year Damien Lillard is only going to get better.
Dallas Mavericks- If they have Dirk Nowitzki all year, Mark Cuban will spend money to get them back into contention.
So who do they replace?
Los Angeles Clippers- It was fun while it lasted, but when Chris Paul signs with the Lakers, it is all over.
Houston Rockets- They barely got in this year. They could slip back a bit next year and find themselves out of it.

Hi, wow I haven't logged in for maybe 10 years I think. Still having unfinished maps lying around.
Now I move from my flat to another flat in the same town (Bonn, Germany).
Are they rare? Are there special editions?
My books are in a very good condition.
Hope you'll have those maps released. As for the books, upload a few shots.
I can't help you with the price estimation, but I'd like to drop a note that I'm interested in acquiring the books in case you decide to sell them.
But you don't need to create an account there. If you want them just let me know via PM here in the forum.

The Purple One's glove fetched a huge amount of money during an auction.
(AllHipHop News) A lace glove Prince wore during his 1984 Purple Rain tour has sold for more $26,000.
The late singer, who passed away at the age of 57 in 2016, wore the rhinestone-adorned white lace glove for a gig at Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky on 15 December 1984.
Bosses at Los Angeles' Nate D. Sanders Auctions hosted an online sale that ended with the accessory attracting a top bid of $26,121.
The musician, full name Prince Rogers Nelson, originally intended to throw the glove into the audience after the performance, but it fell into some lighting scaffolding and was retrieved by Terry Wayne Lewis, a Rupp Arena contractor.
A letter from Terry accompanies the glove, as does a document proving he was working at the venue at the time of the gig.
"Purple Rain," which doubled as the soundtrack to the film of the same name, was Prince's sixth and most beloved album.
It is regularly cited as one of the greatest records of all time.
The legendary singer died at his Paisley Park home in Minnesota from an accidental fentanyl overdose in April 2016.

From the earliest times the concept of beauty and appearance was one of the main concerns of mankind. Over the centuries, people have spent time, money and energy on washing, cutting, dying, combing, and decorating their hair. The way you present your manic panic hair dye to other people has deep sociological roots.
So, manic panic hair dye is a message. This is a message to people about our character. The natural function of the hair is to protect the head from cold and heat through thermal insulation. But for centuries, manic panic hair dye has become an element of self-expression.
Psychologists say that most women make fashionable haircuts, evening laying, perm, and hair dye, not only because they want to look attractive and be more confident.

A threadbare COB team travelled north to win 71-57 against Sheffield Sabres in the steel city on the back of 33 points from point guard Zak Powell.
After a quick start COB were hauled back but still led 16-10 at the end of a first quarter in which Powell registered 10 points with the Sabres unable to contain COB’s young guards.
The home side worked the ball inside during the 2nd period where captain Murray protected the COB key defensively as Powell added another 10 during the quarter. The half finished with COB leading 33-30 and the home side gaining momentum.
Despite this it was COB who came out hot in the 3rd stanza. Once again Powell thrilled with his ability to drive, create and shoot, but it was defensive energy from Trout, Shadboult and London that kept the bone side to only 9 points during the period and give COB a 45-39 lead entering the final quarter.
Again COB came out strong. Catlow worked hard with Murray on the boards at both ends of the floor whilst David Rice stepped up to drain 2 huge 3 point shots with 4 minutes remaining. A follow up 3 from Dwight London was the finishing blow for the Sabres. Despite a late rally, COB regrouped and took the 71-57 result back down the M1.
A great effort from the team and a first league win of the season at the third attempt will give the squad plenty of confidence moving forward!

Where would we be without the music? What kind of world would we be living in, without the near constant accompaniment of sounds organized into rhythm, pitch, timbre and so forth? Where would we be without the beauty of Beethoven and Mozart? Without such strange notions as country, rock 'n' roll, blues, jazz and hip-hop? What if the world were always filled with noise, but never music? "Without music," wrote philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, "life would be a mistake!"
I'm assured that my friends, Laurel Hay and Ben Tomandl, two talented musicians, agree with me. We sat at a table next to a vacant stage and discussed the Half-Moon Rising Singer/Songwriter Showcase, a monthly music event orchestrated by none other than Ben and Laurel. Each showcase features performances of at least three talented singer-songwriters from the Wisconsin/Minnesota area. Lifelong career musician, PK Mayo, provides jaw-dropping rhythm/lead guitar during each performance.
Showcase of Half-Moon Rising, taking place at 6 p.m. Wednesday, April 17 at Ziggy's Restaurant in Stillwater. An awesome total of 25 local musicians will perform their songs live. This is one unique event you will not want to miss!
underground scene of music, painting and writing is blossoming all around us. In New Richmond alone, musicians are making debut albums left and right, painters and photographers are featuring their work in coffee houses (see Dunn Brothers Coffee), and provocative writers are infiltrating their city newspapers with columns solely about art (hmmm)!
newspaper, in the live music venues and more specifically, at the New Richmond Friday Memorial Library.
At 6 p.m. Thursday, April 18, a Local Authors Showcase will be held at the Library. Jim Guhl will read from his first novel, "Eleven Miles to Oshkosh," and answer questions from the audience. Several members from the Willow River Writers Group will be reading aloud their work as well (to include yours truly). Do you love to read, or even dabble in writing yourself? Make sure to mark your calendars.
I will now share our creative quotation for the week, this one from the brilliant musician and composer Frank Zappa, who wrote, "Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom.

It is a common tendency for all of you to wait until April to file your taxes. While it is all fine as long as you file taxes, the earlier you do the better it is. Gone are the days when filing taxes was a difficult and tedious job.
Every year about 10 million taxpayers end up paying $130 on average for estimated tax penalties. Thus, filing and paying your taxes every year on time will help you avoid such penalties.
With several government initiatives and tools in place, it is easier to get through tax filing these days. Here are the top reasons why you should consider filing your taxes every year and at the earliest.
It is advisable that you do not file close to the deadline. It only delays the processing and in turn, results in slowing down the entire process. You might also run into the risk of submitting while the servers are under heavy load, further slowing down the process. The file at the earliest for faster processing of returns.
While the complexity of filing returns has come down by a considerable margin, it is far from ideal. One can still get overwhelmed by the entire process. It is recommended that you start early so as to figure out of there are any additional documents that you might need to submit.
Taxpayers who file their taxes earlier are more likely to receive their entitled returns early. Since you file early, there won’t be too many returns for the IRS staff to go through or process. And thus, they can complete them at the earliest.
Filing your taxes early will help you determine the amount that you have to pay to Uncle Sam. It must be noted that even though you can file your returns earlier, you do not actually have to pay any taxes till the 15th April deadline. This will allow you to plan your taxes better.
There are certain circumstances, where requesting an extension for your taxes is much needed. Consider this, a person was carrying all their tax documents to the office and they get stolen on the way. Or a person lost his/her house to fire, burning down all the documents in there. These are legitimate reasons for filing an extension. Others, not so much. Instead of opting for extension and slowing down the process, it is better to get it done at the earliest.
If you need the services of any tax agents, the most reputed ones will most likely be booked closer to the deadlines. In the event that you file your taxes earlier, you can seek professional help without having to wait.
If you are looking to utilize the FAFSA or Free Application for Federal Student Aid either for yourself or for someone else in your family, it is recommended to do it at the earliest. The earlier you file your taxes, the better are your chances of receiving the maximum amount out of it. The aid is dependent on the most recently filed return.
Every year a lot of taxpayers are victims of tax fraud. In the year 2014, about 3 million people reported the same. It usually takes place if you wait till the end to file your taxes.
Filing taxes earlier gives you ample time to fix if something is wrong with your taxes. This is one of the simplest and most straight forward benefits of filing your taxes every year and on time.
Your mortgage provider would want to have a ton of supporting documents from your end. These include W2 form, bank statements, tax returns and so on. Thus another added advantage of filing your taxes every year.

Jeff's Family Adventure Files: Reinventing myself again.
At age 43, I am still re-inventing myself (the photo is someone re-inventing the wheel on a napkin. Get it? :-). I'm finding myself having to be more of a risk taker than I'm used to.
One recent example is in my moonlighting job, a Tax Professional at H & R Block. One would think of a tax preparer who reads questions from a computer, waits for a customer's response, then keystrokes the data. Not so. Today's successful Tax Professional is a dynamic, thoughtful combination of tax knowledge and interpersonal communicator. Additionally, we have the responsibility to build value for everybody by winning and retaining clients, finding added value services, and marketing ourselves and our brand. I'm not one to ask others to do something (ask my Darling Bride who asked who to get married). But after the agony of plucking up courage of asking clients to take advantage of opportunities we present, some say yes. It is exciting to be influential in a good way. So I have to take the risk of asking others to do things, even when those things would benefit them.
Continuing, thinking through my leadership role at my local church. What if I start pursuing an M.B.A. and have to make priority choices? I think I might need and M.B.A. to be qualified for my next job, and a job allows me to proivde for my family, etc...Taking risks of what to say "yes" to and what to say "no" to.
At home. I've been struggling with finding quantitiy time for family, as tax season is in full swing. I will be re-inventing myself again starting April 16th. Finally, I will be with my family again. I miss them. That's another consideration. The family photo I keep on my desk is not just decoration, it is my motivation to keep going, and to keep re-inventing myself. The risk of balancing the need of having to go earn grocery money and the need of being home with my family.
Isn't "re-inventing oneself" another name for being conformed to the image of Christ if you are a follower of Him? Whatever it is, call it a work in progress.

Nestled in a large garden with a pool, surrounded by jasmine, lavender and olive trees stands a sumptuously restored traditional Provençal home. A 5 minute drive from the centre of Nîmes, discover the joys of the local countryside in the delicious atmosphere of the Pré Galoffre. Stone, iron and wood have come together to create the gentle and welcoming natural environment of Audrey and Christophe Chalvidal's dreams. They give you a warm welcome to this homelike hotel, with its delightful surprises and quiet corners, where every detail is taken care of to pamper you.
This traditional Provençal home features 27 air-conditioned rooms. Some have a terrace, and they all offer a relaxing environment after a day in the southern sun. These spacious, sunny rooms are the perfect refuge for your stays as a couple, as a family, or with friends.
Our charming hotel in Nîmes brings you peace and well-being in a unique environment near the action of the town centre.
