Seasoned campaigners in this age category; 12 final appearances (3rd in 2003, fourth place – 4th time), and six World Cup appearances (twice third, in 1999 and 2015), and after an early exit two years ago in Zambia, Mali is back in the hunt for laurels. Their aim is to change the status quo and book their ticket for the seventh World Cup in their history.
Our objective is to play five games in Niger, in other words qualify to the final”, said Head Coach Mamoutou Kane fondly called ‘Mourle in his native Mali, and has given priority to locally-based players. In his final 21-man squad, he has 13 locals against eight plying their trade abroad.
In their build-up, the Eaglets were camped at the National Technical Centre for a couple of weeks. They played several friendlies against local clubs. For their last preparation, against the Malian club Club Olympique de Bamako, they won 2-1 courtesy goals fromCaptain Mohamed Camara, and El Bilal Toure.
This result gave us an idea of what to expect at the U-20 AFCON. The preparation has ended. We have done most of the work, and we are ready for competition. This team has two qualities, the offensive and defensive technique. There are player who are skilled and others who know how to score. Going the extra mile is our ambition. Our goal is to lift the trophy, said Kane.
Austrian-based trio, Sekou Koita, Mohamed Camara and Ousmane Diakite were the last to join the squad as they gauged their readiness for Niger.
Against Cameroon in the final round of the qualifiers, ‘Les Aiglons’ showed their true prowess in their second leg. After taming the Indomitable Lions away in Yaounde (1-1), they rolled 3-0 past the Lions.
At the early stages, they left no chance to Tanzania, beating them in both legs; 2-1 and 4-1.
Mali will play in Group B, who will be based in Maradi, 645 km away from the capital Niamey, on an artificial turf. They face Senegal (February 3), Burkina (February 6) and Ghana (February 9).

Life insurance companies in Germany face a challenging market environment and find themselves under pressure of high guarantees that they sold to their clients in the past. Managing the in-force book has therefore become art and science of the actuarial practice, a field where actuaries play a pivotal role - from analysis of the value potential, to selection of strategic options and levers, to operationalization and steering.
In our talk, we want to show a comprehensive framework for in-force management and discuss the role, which actuaries can and should play. It will be discussed what information and data management is needed, what criteria and metrics should be applied to decide in order to optimize value and risk based management.
The framework will describe - and give practical example of - in-force levers impacting profitability and risk capital. It takes a broad set of measures reaching from intelligent management of surplus participation to lean process structures to be successful in this challenge. New methods, like smart analytics in customer management, robotics in IT and process optimizations, and innovative risk transfer solutions in financial management, enable deeper exploration and better use of in-force management options.

Hepatic cholesterol crystals and crown-like structures distinguish NASH from simple steatosis.
Ioannou GN1, Haigh WG, Thorning D, Savard C.
We sought to determine whether hepatic cholesterol crystals are present in patients or mice with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease/nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH), and whether their presence or distribution correlates with the presence of NASH as compared with simple steatosis. We identified, by filipin staining, free cholesterol within hepatocyte lipid droplets in patients with NASH and in C57BL/6J mice that developed NASH following a high-fat high-cholesterol diet. Under polarized light these lipid droplets exhibited strong birefringence suggesting that some of the cholesterol was present in the form of crystals. Activated Kupffer cells aggregated around dead hepatocytes that included strongly birefringent cholesterol crystals, forming "crown-like structures" similar to those recently described in inflamed visceral adipose tissue. These Kupffer cells appeared to process the lipid of dead hepatocytes turning it into activated lipid-laden "foam cells" with numerous small cholesterol-containing droplets. In contrast, hepatocyte lipid droplets in patients and mice with simple steatosis did not exhibit cholesterol crystals and their Kupffer cells did not form crown-like structures or transform into foam cells. Our results suggest that cholesterol crystallization within hepatocyte lipid droplets and aggregation and activation of Kupffer cells in crown-like structures around such droplets represent an important, novel mechanism for progression of simple steatosis to NASH.
A, B: Human specimens. Representative liver sections stained with Masson's trichrome from the patients included in this study with simple steatosis (A) or NASH (B). In patients with NASH the sections show moderate steatosis with a lobular inflammatory infiltrate and perisinusoidal (“chicken wire”) fibrosis. In patients with simple steatosis, moderate steatosis is demonstrated with little/no inflammation and no fibrosis (×200 magnification). C–F: Mouse specimens. Representative liver sections stained with Masson's trichrome (C, D) or Sirius red (E, F, viewed with polarized light) from C57BL/6J mice fed either a HF diet or a HFHC diet for 30 weeks. Mice on a HFHC diet (D, F) developed severe steatosis with substantial inflammatory infiltrate and perisinusoidal, chicken wire fibrosis consistent with NASH. Mice on a HF diet (C, E) developed moderate steatosis with little inflammatory infiltrate and no fibrosis (simple steatosis) (×200 magnification).
J Lipid Res. 2013 May;54(5):1326-1334.
Human (1A–H) and mouse (2A–H) frozen liver sections from livers with either simple steatosis (A–D) or NASH (E–H) (×200 magnification). A, E: Bright field images (no stain). B, F: Sections (A) and (E) viewed with polarized light to show colocalization of lipid droplets with birefringence in NASH. C, G: Filipin stain (blue) for free cholesterol. D, H: Sections (C) and (G) viewed with polarized light to show colocalization of filipin staining and birefringence in NASH. Livers with NASH exhibited strongly birefringent crystals within a large proportion of lipid droplets when viewed under polarized light (F, H). Filipin, which stains free cholesterol, also stained prominently the same droplets that had birefringence in livers with NASH, suggesting that the birefringence was due to cholesterol crystals. In contrast, livers with simple steatosis (A–D) did not exhibit any birefringence under polarized light despite having multiple lipid droplets within hepatocytes as seen in the bright field image (A) and did not contain excessive free cholesterol [absence of blue stain in (C)].
Human (A, B) and mouse (C–F) liver sections with NASH stained with anti-CD68 antibody [stains green and identifies Kupffer cells (macrophages) (A, C)] or filipin [(B, D, F) stains blue and identifies unesterified cholesterol] and viewed using a fluorescent microscope (A–D, F) or viewed with polarized light (E) to identify birefringent crystals. Kupffer cells (green) surround hepatocytes and stain very strongly for free cholesterol (blue) as shown by the similarity in the blue and green patterns in (A) and (B) (which are the same human liver section) or (C) and (D) (which are the same mouse liver section). The strongly birefringent crystalline material (E) is shown to colocalize with free cholesterol in (F) by the similarity of the patterns of (E) and (F) which are the same mouse liver section. Taken together these sections suggest that in NASH, Kupffer cells aggregate around hepatocytes that contain cholesterol crystals and accumulate cholesterol (×800 magnification).
Liver sections of mice on a HFHC diet (NASH) stained with anti-CD68 [stains green and identifies Kupffer cells (A–D)] or anti-CD11b [stains brown and identifies activated Kupffer cells (E)] or anti-TNFα [stains green and identifies activated Kupffer cells (F)] and viewed with fluorescent microscopy (A, C, F), polarized light (B, D) to identify birefringent crystals, or bright field microscopy (E). Pairs (A, B) and (C, D) are photomicrographs of the same liver section viewed with either fluorescent or polarized light showing Kupffer cells (green) aggregating around intensely birefringent lipid droplets containing cholesterol in crystallized form that creates a Maltese cross appearance. CD11b stain in panel (E) and TNFα staining in panel (F) suggest that the Kupffer cells are activated and show morphology very similar to previously described crown-like structures in inflamed visceral adipose tissue. We confirmed that TNFα colocalizes on CD68-positive cells (Kupffer cells) in supplementary Fig. IV [(A, B, E, F) are ×200 magnification; (C, D) are ×800 magnification].
Liver sections of mice on a HFHC diet (NASH) stained with osmium and methylene blue (A–C) or viewed with transmission electron microscopy (D, E). Osmium staining with methylene blue counterstaining readily identifies multiple crown-like structures because the remnant lipid droplet of the dead hepatocyte does not take up osmium (marked with asterisks) while all other normal lipid droplets (LD) in viable hepatocytes take up osmium and stain gray/brown. Higher magnification of two of the crown-like structures in panel (A) is shown in panels (B) and (C), demonstrating a granular precipitate within the remnant lipid droplets (marked with asterisks) that are surrounded by Kupffer cells (white arrows). Panel (C) shows that the Kupffer cells acquire multiple small non-osmium binding cholesterol droplets (black arrow) as processing of the remnant lipid droplet of the dead hepatocyte advances. Crown-like structures viewed by electron microscopy are shown in (D) and (E) again demonstrating multiple Kupffer cells (white arrows) surrounding and processing remnant lipid droplets (marked with asterisks) of dead hepatocytes. These remnant droplets do not take osmium (which is used in electron microscopy fixation) and are shown again to contain a granular precipitate in contrast to healthy hepatocyte lipid droplets (LD) that stain gray. In (E) the Kupffer cells have acquired multiple small cholesterol droplets (black arrows) turning into foam cells. The remnant lipid droplets of dead hepatocytes that do not stain with osmium correspond to the intensely birefringent droplets (Maltese crosses) seen by polarized light in .

For this situation, spousal support can be ordered in a divorce decree to help balance financial differences between spouses. Oftentimes in a marriage, one person will sacrifice personal and career-success in lieu of the other spouse's success in those areas. While a standard of living won't be the same, with two incomes reducing to 1 in the divorced person's new household, it still can be a fair and equitable division of the assets.
So how does standard of living come into the equation if standard of living of two cannot compare to single standard of living? It applies most to the wealthy, as one person may have made most the money and the other spouse reared the house. However, there is also artificial standard of living which is determined based on if the couple was living above or below their means. Each will have different potential impact on determining standard of living.
There isn't an easy way to transition from a double person standard of living to a single standard. However, adjusting for standard of living with spousal support can make the separation fair and equitable. Not all divorce decrees will include a spousal support determination. Some spousal support is temporary and some to be paid out in the long-term.

Those of you who made a new year’s resolution and are sticking to it will be thrilled to discover you are doing better than most.
The third Friday of January is known as “fail Friday” because according to surveys it is the date by which most of us have given up. But let’s assume that getting fit was on your list and that you haven’t already started and stopped. Here are five things to consider before you start pounding the streets.
Should you exercise before or after breakfast?
Some swear by an early morning run; others can’t drag themselves out of doors until they’ve had a decent breakfast. Which is the best strategy for fat-burning? The answer, surprisingly, seems to depend on whether you are a man or a woman.
We recently did an experiment on Trust Me, I’m a Doctor where we asked a brother and sister to exercise vigorously before breakfast and then, a week later, to do the same 30 minutes after downing a carb-rich liquid breakfast. It was a liquid meal because we were keen to control exactly how many calories they consumed.
We carefully measured how much fat they burnt over the next few hours and found that the male subject, Josh, burnt 10 per cent more fat if he exercised on an empty stomach and ate soon after, but for his sister Jess it was the reverse. She burnt 25 per cent more fat if she consumed her calories before exercising rather than soon after. This surprised me but it didn’t surprise Dr Adam Collins, from the University of Surrey, who conducted the test for us. He has seen this in other volunteers.
We wanted to see what would happen if we got a larger group of people to do repeated bouts of exercise, several times a week for several weeks, so we recruited 13 men and 17 women who weren’t particularly sporty, and for 4 weeks they all took part in 3 supervised exercise classes a week. The classes consisted of high-intensity training, Zumba and spin classes.
We gave our volunteers a “meal” drink before and after each exercise class. Some of the drinks had calories in them and some didn’t. None of our subjects knew which was which. We did this because we didn’t want them to change how hard they pushed themselves.
After four weeks they all came back to the lab to be retested and, as with our earlier demo, we found that the men burnt considerably more fat if they consumed their calories after exercising, while with the women it was the other way round.
So what was going on? Well, it’s all a bit speculative at the moment, but here’s one explanation. When it comes to fuelling exercise, our bodies have a choice of two energy sources, fat or carbs. Men have a greater tendency to burn carbs. If we have carbs in our system (ie, lots of glucose in our blood and muscles) we burn this in preference to fat. It’s only when our carb supplies run low that we switch into fat-burning mode.
So if a man exercises on an empty stomach, perhaps first thing in the morning after an overnight fast, he’s carb-depleted and more likely to turn on the fat-burners. If on the other hand he exercises after a carby breakfast (cereal, toast) then the fat-burners remain switched off.
With women it’s different because women tend to have more body fat and less muscle mass than men. Women are better at releasing fatty acids into their blood to be used as fuel.
So it doesn’t matter hugely to a woman if she has breakfast before exercising or not. A light snack or a small bowl of porridge eaten 30 minutes before running won’t do any harm. The important thing, however, is that she doesn’t then have a carb-rich meal soon after exercising because this will interfere with her body’s ability to burn fat.
According to Collins, “If a woman wants to maximize fat burning she should wait at least 90 minutes after exercising before she starts eating.” So it’s a bad idea, if you’re female, to have that croissant after a bout in the gym.
Should you pound the pavements or toil on the treadmill?
It’s a question that inspires passionate responses from devotees of both kinds of running, but who’s right? Those who love the great outdoors claim that you’ll burn more calories if you run in the open air. Running outside uses up more energy than running on a treadmill, they say, because of wind resistance.
Not true, the treadmillers reply. A study conducted at the University of Exeter showed that you can easily compensate for this in the gym simply by setting your treadmill to a 1 per cent gradient.
OK, the wind-blown athlete responds, but people who are running on a treadmill don’t push themselves as hard. A study from 2012 found that running on a treadmill can distort your perception of speed. When volunteers were asked to match their outdoor running speed while on a treadmill, they ended up running significantly slower. This suggests that not only do we work harder when we run outside, we do so without even realising it.
Well, perhaps, the gym rats grudgingly concede, but when it comes to injuries there are clearly fewer hazards with treadmill running. You are far less likely to get run over or slip in dog faeces.
The great joy of running outside, particularly if you are running off road, is that each step is likely to be different to the one before because you are running on uneven and varied terrain. This strengthens the ligaments and activates a greater variety of muscles, as well as teaching the body better balance.
What’s more, exercising outdoors is better for lowering stress and blood pressure. Plus you get more exposure to the sunshine and therefore to vitamin D (although at this time of year that’s not a particularly convincing argument).
How long do I have to run for?
Another question to ask yourself before you lace up your shoes and venture outdoors is: how far are you planning to run? Clearly, running is going to be better for your heart than sitting on the sofa, but if you don’t particularly enjoy running, how much should you do?
Well, Professor David Spiegelhalter of the University of Cambridge has crunched the numbers and concluded that if you are bone idle and start exercising for 20 minutes a day, that will add about an hour to your life each time you do it.
However, the benefits, at least in terms of life expectancy, then drop off pretty dramatically. Because the next 20 minutes of exercise you do each day only buys you an 15 extra minutes of life. So if you don’t enjoy those extra 20 minutes puffing round the track this is not such a good deal.
About 30 minutes of moderate intensity exercise, five times a week, seems to be the sort of figure to aim at.
Should I do a warm-up?
Something almost every runner does is static stretching — bending over and touching their toes — in the belief that this makes muscles more flexible, warms them up and reduces risk of injury.
Is this helpful? Probably not. A review article in Sports Medicine called “Stretching and Injury Prevention”, concluded that if the sport involves a lot of stop-start (such as in football) then you might get benefit from stretching. If you are running, jogging or swimming then the evidence is that stretching has “no beneficial effect on injury prevention”.
Will I lose lots of weight?
Many people take up exercise in the hope that it will help them stick to the most common new year’s resolution of losing weight. Unfortunately exercise alone is unlikely to achieve this. The good news is you burn an extra 100 calories or so when you are running a mile than when you are sitting on the sofa. Although this is obviously a rough figure and depends on your weight and the speed at which you run.
The bad news is that there are nearly 8,000 calories in a kilo of fat. Which means you would need to run about 80 miles to burn off that kilo of flab. And if you reward yourself after a run with a muffin (400 calories), that’s four miles wasted.
There are many benefits to be had from doing exercise but shedding lots of weight isn’t likely to be one of them.
There are many fields you could try yourself in, develop many qualities. The most important is to be at peace with yourself.
I wonder how some people live with all the negative in their lives. It’s toxic and influences you in a bad way.
I love good tea. I could go without many things, and be pretty ascetic, but tea is a must have.

Our school day is 9:00am - 1:00pm. All children are to be taken to their classrooms. Children will not be received before 8:55am, due to teachers preparing for the day. Parents are asked to have children at school on time. When a child is late it is awkward for the child and for the teachers who have already begun teaching activities.
Our WEE School program uses the Weekday Early Education Curriculum Guides as the basis for our teaching curriculum. Our teachers will enhance this material with other resources and their previous experiences.
We will be covering nine basic concept areas: God, Jesus, Bible, church, family, self, others, community and natural world. This will give us the springboards to help our preschoolers learn more about their world.
Our teaching method is through learning centers. Preschoolers will choose from art, blocks, homeliving, music, nature, puzzles and manipulatives where activities have been planned to help teach the topic of study. Teachers will teach through use of conversations, stories, songs, prayer thoughts, and Bible thoughts as preschoolers are involved in doing.
Extra-curricular activities include music with teachers trained in the music field. Children participate in singing, movement, musical games and playing instruments.
Once a month a storyteller from the Public Library comes to share with our 3's, 4's and T.K. classes good children's books and quality literature.
Classes are over at 1:00pm. All children, birth through Transitional Kindergarten, will be picked up from their classrooms. There is no car pool pick-up. Children will be ready for pick-up beginning at 12:50pm. As you pick up remember it will be necessary for one teacher to remain with the children while the other teacher helps children prepare to leave. For this reason we ask that parents not carry on lengthy conversations with the teacher at this time. If you have concerns or questions please feel free to ask them to contact you at home. To help with prompt pick-up there is a late charge for any child picked up after 1:10pm. The charge is $0.50 a minute for the first five minutes and $1.00 a minute for each minute after 1:15pm. If you are unable to get here on time call ahead and let us know. In most cases, this will waive the late charge.
This method of pick-up will help us ensure the safety of your children and help maximize our classroom time.
We begin our school year with staggered entrance. This helps all children adjust to the new Fall schedule.

When that morning we heard we were going to the community of Asuke to pick up weeds from the rice fields, it sounded like a cool experience but doing it was a complete whole new deal. Not only did we put our feet with just sox in the mud and picked up weeds from the rice fields, we also discovered a complete new world of flying, swimming and jumping bugs we had never seen before. Anywhere from frogs to flies to spiders to worms. They were all there, waiting for us to put our hands in the mud to jump, swim or fly either away or towards us.
The truth is, even though it wasn’t that pretty we had a great time going through the experience together. This was for sure a lifetime experience, not only coming to Japan but putting our feet in the mud, dealing with the bugs and doing it all with a bunch of friends from all over the world. Where else can you do something like that? where else can you get to experience this kind of things.
World Campus – Japan is THE unique access to Japan. Today more than ever, it teaches us to appreciate how comfortable we are at home and how to appreciate other people’s work.

Mumbai: NCP MP Supriya Sule has criticised the BJP-led Maharashtra government over the recent spate of suicide attempts in and around the state secretariat in south Mumbai.
Addressing a rally in Jalgaon in north Maharashtra last evening as part of the NCP's "Hallabol" agitation, Sule said she would prefer to be "Mantralaya of hearts of the common people rather than be the Mantralaya (the seat of power of the state government) where common citizens are committing suicide due to non-delivery of justice and apathy of the administration".
"It would be unfortunate for Maharashtra if farmers' daughters have to resort to begging," said Sule, the daughter of NCP supremo Sharad Pawar.
The state government has drawn a severe flak over multiple incidents of suicide attempts in and around Mantralaya.
Three months ago, a farmer had threatened to jump off the Mantralaya building over crop losses.
On 22 January, an 84-year-old farmer consumed a poisonous substance in Mantralaya demanding adequate compensation for his land acquired for a solar project in Dhule district. He died on 28 January at a hospital.
On 8 February, a 44-year-old murder convict committed suicide by jumping off the fifth floor of the seven-storey Mantralaya building.
Earlier, a government job aspirant had attempted suicide outside Mantralaya.
Last week, a 65-year-old woman from Nashik district allegedly attempted suicide outside Mantralaya.
"I will not allow such a situation to be faced by my sisters and daughters. Otherwise, I will decide what to do about the Devendra Fadnavis government by going inside Mantralaya," Sule said.
State NCP unit president Sunil Tatkare blasted the government for setting up a safety net across the first floor to prevent suicides.
"Mantralaya has been given the look of a circus. Mantralaya is a place to solve problems of 12 crore people of Maharashtra and not a circus place where safety nets are put up to prevent jokers jumping around from falling down," he said.

Wishing you all a fine, fine September. But y’know it’d be more fun to wish you well in person – maybe pop on out for the dates below.
I’ve introduced you to Bugsy’s on many occasion – what is there left to be said other than wooo-hooooooo.
All of the staff and regulars make Caroline’s a Milwaukee gem. I would be remiss if I did not personally and heartily encourage you to join us.
Music is so fun. But never would I have guessed that there is also so much non-musical fun to be had. The below is a romp through the many non musical items on my checklist in any given week.
Moving that gear. Keyboards – big ones. And drums – lots of ’em. And stairs. It’s excellent resistance training – with cardio. I save on gym membership; you’d think I’d be in better shape after all that hauling, and I’da thought toting a keyboard down the sidewalk would raise my coolness quotient. Not the case. I’m uncool for, um… other reasons. Many… many other reasons. It’s even changed the way I enjoy watching other live bands. I watch folks play and mentally tally up the gross tonnage of gear on stage – then smile knowing I don’t have to load it out once the set wraps. heeeee he.
Sound systems. They are complicated. Sound engineers make it look easy wrangling countless cords while keeping (most) of the electrons pointed in the right direction. And when it goes wrong, it goes ear-crushingly wrong. We shared the stage a few years back with a Mariachi band (hey, we opened for an AC/DC tribute band once too). These guys had it right – no amps, no cords, no fuss, no muss (I dunno what muss is, but there was none of it). They ended their set, turned on a heel and played as they walked out. Awesome. Now how would I look in the Marichi costume? No need to let me know in the comments.
Requests: I respect mightily bands and piano-men that can take requests and play them well. We’re getting better in that department. The following are much beloved and oft requested. And as a musician, I love each of these songs. I mean I truly cherish and celebrate their ubiquity.
… wait for it…. Freebird!!!
Musicians. The musicians themselves. They (and me included) are an absolutely interesting bunch of cats. Yup. Interesting, that’s the adjective we’re going with. Sharing music is a great way to learn the real ins and outs of the people who play it. I’m blessed to share music with some fantastic people, and to have grown to know them so well is one of life’s best treasures.
The People We Meet – people that if not for sharing jokes, music and fun we might never have met. They are unique, each with a story to tell and given the opportunity to chat so many have become good friends. Good friends on this very mailing list. Love you all.

If you are a business owner, the safety of your employees should be your biggest concern. As their employer, you are responsible for their safety while they are on your property. You must also do everything you can to protect your business from being broken into by criminals or damaged by a disaster such as a fire. After all, this is your livelihood. You depend on your business to put food on your table. One of the best ways to protect both your business and your employees at the same time is the installation of a sprinkler system. There is really no downside to having one installed. Here are a couple of the biggest reasons to install a sprinkler system at your business.
This is obviously the primary reason to install a sprinkler system. Fire is one of the most destructive forces on Earth. It has the power to completely destroy a business in only a matter of minutes. Therefore, every second counts when the outbreak of a fire occurs. Along with a sprinkler system, it would also be helpful to install a monitored alarm system that is connected to a smoke detector. Your local fire department would then be notified and dispatched to your business if smoke is detected. You can then have the peace of mind knowing that the business that you have devoted your life to building will be sufficiently protected in the event of a fire.
Insurance can be very expensive for business owners. You must have liability insurance in place which will protect you if you are sued because a customer was injured on your property. You should also have a policy that will cover you for your losses if your business is somehow damaged or destroyed by a wide range of natural disasters. Insurance companies love it when a property is made safer. They will lower your premiums if your make your business less likely to be destroyed by fire. Contact your insurance provider as soon as you complete the installation of your sprinkler system. The company may want to send a representative to your business to make sure the sprinkler system has been installed properly. You can then discuss how much lower your premiums will be. To locate an experienced sprinkler system installation company, you should take a look at http://www.fireguardllc.net/.

This isn't where he had planned on being. In fact, it hadn't been more than a passing glimpse of a thought these past few years. So why he was here now, in this place of all places was beyond him.
He had only meant to pass through the town; it wasn't like much would have changed anyway. Rizenbourg was too much of a farmland; a backwards, forgotten chunk of land to grow. He knew what changes had been made  like the new train station or the newly paved road going straight through the town  and he knew what still marked Rizenbourg as Rizenbourg  the rolling, grassy hills, the Rockbell Automail shop. He also knew what was no longer in Rizenbourg.
If forced, he just might admit that he held a soft spot for the town somewhere within him. It was quiet, quaint, and reeked of a homeliness that he knew he would never enjoy again. But also, if forced, he just might admit that he desperately hated the town for those same qualities.
Rizenbourg had played its part in his life and now it meant nothing more to him than a little dot on a map or perhaps two hours of boring countryside landscape passing by the train window.
And there he was. Standing in the last place that he would have considered as a rest area; a detour in a progression of more important places and duties in his life. It was already late in the day and he had missed the last train simply for this one place. His schedule had been thrown off by a whim; a sudden, unexplainable  at least he claimed it was  reason to visit this site and just...look.
No one else was around, but he expected that. For as large as Rizenbourg actually was, the population was sparse and distributed fairly widely across the land. And this wasn't a spot for a great number of people to visit. There was evidence in the fact that weeds had grown up around the stone, a few tombstones had cracked, broken or tumbled over in decay. Some old, withered flowers had been ground into the dirt, perhaps by some old visitors but more likely just from passer-bys.
But his sense of duty seemed to be limited as of late. Ever since the war. Duty was not served to those who did not deserve it.
Perhaps it was out of love and affection that he returned. He remembered caring about this place, about these people at one point. It couldn't have been that long ago if he could still remember  if he still cared to remember. In fact, if he thought hard enough he was sure he could still remember people's names and what they looked like.
So why, after all this time, he had finally decided to pay his respects...he really didn't bother with the why so much as he was there and might as well do it now.
With a final swipe at the stone, the dirt and weeds were clear and an etched name marred the nearly perfect rock. What a waste.
He stood there for a moment more, contemplating what had led up to this moment, both his and hers. He had never much believed in chance or fate but that man decided his own destiny, purpose. It was too big of a risk to leave it in the hands of anyone else. But this moment he would not have chosen on his own. Damn philosophy and free choice.
As the sun sank lower behind those grassy, rolling hills and the name became one patch of dark, Hohenheim picked up the flowers that had landed at his feet. Some of the flowers were torn and wilted, broken and destroyed. He must not have taken such a good look before purchasing them. Well, it was too late to mend the mistake now and the train would come too early in the morning for him to return. He did have a schedule to keep with.
With one final look at the gravestone, he carelessly tossed the flowers back on the ground. Some of the petals broke off and scattered over the stone he had just cleaned. Psh...what a waste.
The sun finished setting as he turned his back on the gravestone reaching into his jacket for a cigarette. It irritated him that the light wouldn't catch right away; it would just be an annoyance to have to buy a new lighter already. Taking a deep drag, he stood on the hill and watched the sky for a moment. Only when the first stars came out did he set off for the central part of the town. Perhaps he would buy a drink, for posterity's sake.
Without once looking behind him, he flicked the cigarette away.

This project originated from the search for an alternative to conventional porous asphalt, which, while retaining the many advantages (acoustic properties, drainability, skid resistance, resistance to rutting) of this type of mixture, was required to reduce or limit its disadvantages (winter behaviour and durability).
As a complement to some research in the laboratory, a test section was constructed in 2002 following a rehabilitation project initiated by the then Walloon public service (SPW). Research report CR41/06 presents the results of the observations and measurements made during the preparation of the experiment and the construction and monitoring of the test section, as well as a few recommendations for future applications.

If you’re experiencing an elevated level of blood sugar during pregnancy then you might be suffering from gestational diabetes. It can have serious complications for both you and your baby if excessive sugar is allowed to enter into the mother’s blood. It can make your delivery complicated and can also lead to serious potential problems for your baby such as breathing problems and jaundice.
But the good news is that with proper treatment it can be managed and will not have any harmful complication for you or your baby. Here’s the complete guide to deal with gestational diabetes reducing the likelihood of its harmful effects.
If you have been diagnosed with gestational diabetes during pregnancy then try to maintain a healthy eating habit so that your blood sugar doesn’t spike further. The best trick is to aim to avoid refined carbohydrate and sugar in your diet so that your blood sugar level remains in control. Whenever you buy any packaged food item check the key ingredients first and then consume it. It’s always advisable to eat low-fat food, green veggies, and whole grains. Remember consuming food rich in sugar and carbohydrate can alleviate your present condition and contribute to type 2 diabetes.
If you want to stay away from the complications of gestational diabetes during pregnancy then it’s very important to monitor your blood glucose level regularly. Stick to your treatment plan and make sure your blood sugar stays in a healthy range. You can also buy a diabetes kit to make sure your blood sugar reading is good. Once you are able to control your blood sugar level it will ensure good health both for you and your baby.
Exercise is often considered the best way to manage gestational diabetes. You can either go for a walk or take the stairs after a meal to keep a tab on your blood glucose level. Regular exercise will help you maintain your normal weight which will further reduce chances of gestational diabetes. The more active and fit you’ll remain during your pregnancy your blood glucose level be at the correct level. Convert your not so sweet dream of leading a complicated life with gestational diabetes into a sweet one with the magic of the light and easy to do exercises.
You might be offered medications if you’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes. This may be in the form of tablets or insulin injection. The injection is mainly given to those patients whose blood sugar level can’t be controlled with the oral medicine. You’re usually required to inject yourself with insulin before breakfast and dinner depending on the type of insulin you’ve been prescribed by your Doctor. Once you’ve been prescribed the medication it becomes very important to take it on time. It’s also important to go for regular check-ups so that your doctor can change the medicines if they’re not effective or aren’t working well for you.
Now before you freak out to hear that you’ve been diagnosed with gestational diabetes you know you can easily tackle the concerns related to it. By adopting these healthy tips you can easily wipe out the fear associated with gestational diabetes. Have a happy and safe pregnancy!

Veterinarians tried to save the whale for five straight days after spotting it in a Thai canal by the Malaysian border, according to National Geographic. When rescuers first spotted the whale, it was struggling to swim and breathe. So, rescuers used buoys to keep it afloat and opened red umbrellas to keep the whale from getting a sunburn.
The whale likely mistook the plastic bags for food, said Regina Asmutis-Silvia, the executive director of Whale and Dolphin Conservation’s North American operation. As the bags piled up in its stomach, the animal would have felt full and may have stopped hunting for its natural diet of squid, fish and octopus.
"At some point, their stomach fills up with trash and they can't eat real food," Asmutis-Silvia told National Geographic. "You’re not getting any nutrients in, and you've basically completely clogged your digestive system."
This pilot whale is hardly the only creature that has mistakenly dined on plastic with fatal consequences. At least 300 marine animals die in Thai waters each year after gulping down too much plastic, Thon Thamrongnawasawat, a marine biologist and lecturer at Kasetsart University in Bangkok, told Agence France-Presse. Worldwide, seabirds also mistake plastic trash for food, as do turtles, other whales, dolphins, seal pups and tiny crustaceans living in the Mariana Trench, the deepest place in the ocean, Live Science previously reported.
Some 18 billion lbs. (8 million kg) of plastic waste end up in the oceans annually, according to National Geographic. In the United States, the average person discards 185 lbs. (84 kg) of plastic trash, but this number can be reduced if people avoid single-use products — such as plastic bags and straws — and by properly recycling plastic products.
Another Dead Whale Full of Plastic. This Time, in Italy.

It's getting to the point where we will one day think about buying something and it will show up on our doorstep a minute later.
Okay, maybe that's an exaggeration, but the future of shopping took another leap forward Sunday when Amazon unveiled its newest innovation.
The online behemoth has gone public with a prototype for Amazon Prime Air, a drone service which will deliver packages in 30 minutes or less.
Prime Air is unveiled at the beginning of the holiday shopping season, but don't expect to utilize before Saint Nick goes on his gift-giving route. Amazon says, "Putting Prime Air into service will take some time, but we will deploy when we have the regulatory support needed to realize our vision."
Amazon also says, "We have more than a dozen prototypes that we’ve developed in our research and development labs. The look and characteristics of the vehicles will evolve over time."
There are also some restrictions customers should know. The drones will clock in at 55 pounds and can haul packages topping out at five pounds.

Crude oil contains thousands of compounds with a wide range of physical-chemical properties and biological activities. Therefore, it is a challenge to predict the toxi-city of such complex mixtures among the many varieties of marine organisms. Over the years, toxicologists have utilized both single- and multiple-compound oil exposures to examine toxic effects in numerous marine species. However, we need to recognize that species variation makes it very difficult to accurately predict toxicity. It is also very difficult to estimate the toxicity of a mixture by combining single-component information, due to chemical interactions within the mixtures.
Several oil spill impact models have been developed to estimate the fate of oil and its impacts on marine organisms and the ocean. The Spill Impact Model Application Package (SIMAP) developed by the US Natural Resource Damage Assessment for oil spills is one oil impact model attempting to incorporate as many factors as possible. Weather conditions, wind, wave and current actions, and the geological environment work in combination to determine the disposition of oil on the surface, in the water column, on the seashore, and in sediments. The model also attempts to evaluate biological exposure, considering both the movement of biota and oils, acute toxic effects (lethal and sublethal), indirect effects of acute exposure via food chain and habitats, non-density-dependent population level impacts from mortality and sublethal effects, and the biological effects of treatment (blooming and dispersant). Oil distribution is relatively easy to predict if accurate measurements of physical and geological factors are made. However, characterization of toxicity traditionally focusing on acute LC50 (mortality) is problematic. In addition, impacts ofdevelopment, reproduction, and animal behavior are difficult to estimate at sublethal levels of exposure. Ecological data, such as the distribution of wildlife in contaminated areas during an oil spill episode, are also very limited. Thus, when considering oil impacts on ecosystems, basic toxicological and ecological information is crucial for agencies to both make the best professional estimate of ecosystem impacts and further develop ecosystem-based oil spill management techniques.

I am not going to call this “Beef Bourguignon” because I am not Julia Child, or Ina Garten, or my friend Chef Janice Provost who embraces everything wonderful and delicious about France – but the other evening I did create my rendition of this classic with multiple bottles of juicy, earthy Pinot Noir, mounds of mushrooms and bunches of herbs, served beside the delicious smashed garlic potatoes. We let it simmer for hours on the stove top, though it could have braised in the oven as well. Succulent, juicy and falling apart tender….Julia would have been proud.
Prior to starting place the bacon in the freezer for about a half an hour. It will be easier to cut when you are ready to use it. When ready to cook add the sherry to the shitake mushrooms in a small bowl. Heat the oil in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Season the beef generously with salt, pepper and the cumin. Begin to brown the beef in the oil in batches, placing the browned beef in a bowl to rest after it has browned. If you need to add additional oil do so at your discretion. Meanwhile chop the bacon into 1/2 inch pieces. After all the beef is browned add the bacon to the pot and cook until crisp and the fat has rendered. Remove the bacon from the pot and set aside. Add the onion, carrots, celery and leak into the pot with the bacon fat and begin to cook them down, stirring often to avoid over browning. When the veggies have softened slightly season generously with salt and pepper and add the garlic and red pepper flakes. Cook for 2-3 more minutes. Tie the rosemary, thyme and bay leaf together with a piece of kitchen twine and add to the pot, making sure to get it down under the meat to really start flavoring everything. Remove the shitake mushrooms from the Sherry and chop them. Strain the Sherry through a coffee filter and add to the pot. Add the shitake mushrooms and 16 ounces of white mushrooms to the pot, then add the beef and the bacon back to the pot with any accumulated juices. Add the wine and bring to a boil. Boil for 7-10 minutes to cook out some of the alcohol, then reduce the heat and add the stock. Simmer for about 3 1/2 – 4 1/2 hours. (You could also braise in the oven at this point at 350 degrees.) Stir occasionally. After 3 1/2 hours add the rest of the mushrooms to the pot with the vinegar and parsley. Cook for another 1/2 hour to hour. The meat should be fork tender and super juicy. Remove the herb bunch, adjust any final seasonings and serve with smashed potatoes.
Good lord, that looks and sounds delicious!

On June 1, 2013, the Limitation Act, S.B.C. 2012, c. 13, came into force, changing the limitation period for an action in debt from six years to two years (s. 6). There are transitional provisions that make all debts owing up to and including May 31, 2013, subject to the six-year limitation period (s. 30). All debts that accrue on or after June 1, 2013 are subject to the new two-year limitation period. As a result, strata corporations will have to be proactive in collecting amounts owing under the Certificate of Lien to avoid expiry of the limitation period.
The main concern with the new, shorter limitation period is pointed to at the end of this passage, which calls on strata corporations to be “proactive in collecting amounts owing.” And, while the passage refers expressly to a strata corporation’s Certificate of Lien, it is also clear that similar considerations would apply to money owing that couldn’t be secured by the statutory lien. The practical concern is that a two-year limitation period may be too short for strata corporations, significantly curtailing their flexibility in dealing with money owing from strata-lot owners. (And note that, while limitations law is focused on court proceedings, the new act also has the effect of barring “self-help remedies” that strata corporations often employ in collection cases.) Should the Strata Property Act create a special, longer limitation period for these cases?
This issue presents readers first with a yes-or-no question. If the answer to this question is “yes, the Strata Property Act should create a special limitation period,” then a follow-up question emerges. This question concerns the length of that limitation period. It’s a question that is much more open-ended, as potentially any number could be provided as an answer.
On the basic question, the case for a special limitation period would have to be based on characteristics of the strata corporation and strata-lot owner relationship that set it apart from other creditor-debtor relationships. It could be argued that, unlike most creditor-debtor cases, the parties involved in a strata case will usually carry on their relationship after the debt is settled. Most strata-corporation debt claims don’t end with the forced sale of the debtor’s strata lot. This means that the debtor will remain an owner in a collective residential or commercial property. An argument may be made that the legislative framework should carefully balance the needs of the debt-collection process with the goal of fostering at least a semblance of long-term harmony between owners and strata corporations. This balancing act may call for a longer limitation period, which would give the strata corporation added flexibility to deal with debts and not compel it to take early enforcement action, which could be seen as aggressive, to avoid its claim becoming statute-barred.
The difficulty with these arguments is that there may not be enough special characteristics in the strata corporation and strata-lot owner relationship, which would warrant special treatment under limitation law. After all, most creditors would prefer to have the benefit of more time and flexibility. Most creditors would also prefer not to have their options curtailed because their claims are coming up against the limitation period. The Limitation Act is relatively new. It’s unlikely that the government would be inclined to revisit it to start making exceptions for certain creditors, unless particularly strong evidence could be marshalled to prove that changes need to be made. It isn’t clear that this evidence is in place for strata corporations. After a small burst of commentary in anticipation of the coming into force of the new Limitation Act, this subject has largely disappeared from published writing on strata-property issues. This could mean that strata corporations are managing to live with the new limitation period.
If the Strata Property Act should contain a special limitation period, then the next question that arises is how long that limitation period should be. There is potentially a wide range of numbers that could be considered here.
In selecting a limitation period, it’s necessary to bear in mind the purposes of limitation law. Its purposes include promoting certainty and finality and restraining the adjudication of stale claims. The longer the limitation period, the greater the likelihood that stale claims will come before a court. Claims go stale through fading memories and lost or disposed-of records. Further, a longer limitation period brings with it the risk of losing evidence. Changing membership in strata councils, problems with accuracy of meeting minutes, and changing strata managers all increase the risk that receivables will not be collected. These concerns may arise with longer limitation periods, but they may not come to the fore in shorter limitation periods.
The committee grappled with this issue over an extended time. On the one hand, it accepts the general points of the importance of consistency to limitations law and the need to give a relatively new act some time to be considered in practice. On the other, it was aware of problems being caused by the new, shorter limitation period.
Concerns over the effect of limitation law on strata-corporation administration can cut in two directions. A longer limitation period can increase the risk of lost evidence. It can also lead to a slackening of debt-collection practices.
But the two-year limitation period does create a real hardship for strata corporations. Financially, it doesn’t make sense for a strata corporation to move quickly to commence court proceedings to enforce a claim against an owner. In most cases the debt is small early on (but it often piles up over time), and the up-front costs of enforcement are high. Because the indebtedness tends to increase as time goes on, it makes financial sense for strata corporations to wait before beginning court proceedings.
Further, the relationship between a strata corporation and a delinquent owner is significantly different from the standard creditor-debtor relationship. When one owner fails to pay strata fees or other amounts due to the strata corporation, the harm ultimately falls on other owners, who must pick up the slack or see the value of their own strata lots decline.
The committee examined many ways to adjust the current law to reflect these two points. In the end, the simplest and best way in its view would be to create a special, longer limitation period in the Strata Property Act. The committee also decided that this limitation period should have a restricted application to just those debts that may be made the subject of a lien under section 116 of the act.
While a majority of consultation respondents (in both the full and summary consultations) agreed with the committee’s tentative recommendation on this issue, a sizable minority disagreed. Comments from consultation respondents showed there was a split on the reasons for disagreeing with the tentative recommendation. Some respondents disagreed because they favoured the current two-year limitation period. Others expressed a preference for a longer limitation period—or even no limitation period—in these circumstances.
The Strata Property Act should provide for a special limitation period for claims of money, capable of being subject to a lien under section 116, owing from a strata-lot owner to a strata corporation, of four years.

Management Rights businesses have been around since the mid-1970s and are found mainly in Queensland, but increasingly in NSW, Victoria and to a lesser extent other states. In the 1970s, property developers “discovered” Queensland and now the skyline is dotted with residential and holiday resort complexes, apartment complexes and townhouse / villa developments. Behind most of these, exists a Management Rights business.
Developers of these complexes realized early on that there was an advantage in having an on-site manager; someone who would live on site and who would look after the day to day running of the complex, as well as provide a Letting Management service to absentee investor owners. In Queensland, this concept grew and led to the State Government enacting industry specific legislation to formalise and control the industry. This legal structure offers safeguards and peace of mind to unit owners, Bodies Corporate and Management Rights owners alike. When the Body Corporate of a multi-unit complex enters into two contracts with an individual or company to (a) maintain the common property and (b) run a Management Rights and letting business from the complex, then a Management Rights business is created.
Once created, the first and subsequent management rights owners, can then resell the business like any other. Simultaneously with purchasing the Management Rights business, the buyer purchases the manager’s unit in the complex. It is from this unit that the Manager runs the business. The Manager has a vested and financial interest in the successful performance of the complex.
Many people regard Management Rights as the ultimate “Home-Based Business”, offering lifestyle, excellent return on investment and good re-sale potential. Management Rights are considered to be a relatively safe business investment, which is shown by the major banks willingness to lend generously against them.
In all multi-unit complexes, there are areas such as pathways, gardens, pools, tennis courts, etc. which make up Common Property. The Body Corporate pays the Manager a salary to maintain the Common Property, see that the By-Laws are adhered to, and report on any matters pertaining to the complex. It is effectively a caretaker’s salary.
The Body Corporate also pays for all the day-to-day expenses of looking after the common property. Typically, all the necessary equipment is supplied and maintained by the Body Corporate. The Body Corporate salary is usually indexed to the CPI, to allow for automatic annual increases.
The Manager has the right to conduct a letting business in the complex. This provides for investor owners who want to rent out their units to tenants and or guests. These individual owners pay the manager commission and management fees for securing good tenants, accounting for the rent, and ensuring that the rental / holiday property is kept in good condition.
In Queensland, to legally operate the Letting Business you will need to obtain a Real Estate Salesperson Registration Certificate. This is not difficult to obtain and currently involves the study of 7 subjects through a registered training organization. These subjects are generally undertaken in a classroom environment over 3 to 5 days; however some RTOs offer courses “on line” or by correspondence.
Holiday let buildings are part of the tourism industry. Operating management rights to holiday apartments requires the manager to promote the building to attract holidaymakers. A higher level of service and skill is required but the returns are correspondingly higher.
Permanent, or residential letting, involves finding good long term tenants, collecting rent, maintaining the property and developing a relationship with unit owners. A great lifestyle option!
These buildings are run much the same as holiday letting complexes except that the clients are away on business not holiday.
This is a small market segment mainly located in capital cities or major regional centres with all such complexes situated adjacent to university campuses.
These buildings are run like a retirement home, as the provision of food is a requirement; managers need to have a skill set to accommodate this requirement. So there you have it very briefly, an exciting and rewarding industry. It’s not rocket science – Life experience, 30% cash or equity deposit and the ability to work with people are the only prerequisites.
What is a managements rights worth?
The value of a management rights business is calculated by applying a ‘multiplier’ to the annual net profit. For example, if a management rights business has made a net profit of $200,000 in the last 12 months and the multiplier is set at 5X, the price of the business will be $1,000,000.
There are no set rules to what the multiplier will be; it is subject to supply and demand and is therefore set by the market. Factors that can influence the multiplier are interest rates, bank lending policies, positioning, income level, and growth potential, duration of the agreements, style/quality/age and location.
The manager’s unit is valued like any other piece of residential real estate. However, any additional space associated with the manager’s lot like an office, storage shed etc. needs to be taken into account as it will add some value. Factors that influence the value of the unit are presentation, style, age and size.

Apple has finally embraced Make in India vision - But will it work?
Apple too has joined the Make in India dream now.
Apple recently started to manufacture iPhone 6S in India at its Bangalore facility after a good run with iPhone SE. A recent surge in import duties has forced the technology major to increase the prices of iPhones in the country.
The iPhone sales have seen a 50 percent drop since the last two quarters.
Be it the higher prices or cheaper alternative flagships, Apple has already started on work a different business model in the country. The company is now aiming at a brand-first model, where it will focus on its brand, and not volume. The new model may pay off for Apple India in long term.
Reportedly, Apple has began manufacturing certain models of iPhone at its Bengaluru facility through a contract manufacturer. Apple already manufactures iPhone SE in the country, and also recently added iPhone 6 to its Indian production facility.
But the latest report suggests that the company is making certain number of iPhone models in India now.
The centre has informed the company is manufacturing certain iPhone models in India, but such details of private business decisions are not maintained by the Parliament.
Apple India has already seeked help from the government to support its manufacturing unit in the country. Centre has received requests seeking concessions which also includes duty exemption on manufacturing. Apple India has seeked concessions from the government on repair units, components, and consumables required for manufacturing.
The company is facing tough competition from the Chinese OEMs in the country. Recently three senior sales executives have left the company as well, owing to difficulties in selling iPhones in India.
While the smartphone giant has done exceptional business worldwide, Apple has suffered to do good business in the country. In spite of selling 3.2 million iPhones last year, Apple could not even sell half a million units in the country in the first six months of 2018.
Apple CEO Tim Cook still believes that India will be the next China, where Apple has its second largest market outside US.
Even in the premium segment where once Apple used to lead has fallen to a mere 20 percent in the first quarter of 2018. Currently, Apple India has an overall market share of around 1.5 percent to 2 percent. The iPhone sales in India rose consistently since 2014.
In the previous three years, Apple shipped nearly 8 million iPhones in India.
Now as Apple India has started to manufacture certain iPhone models, it can help Apple to build its brand presence and save on import duties, making iPhones more affordable in India helping the sales to grow.

Here’s a wake-up call to anyone trying to solve a tricky problem at work, university or school.
Researchers claim that finding solutions and remembering things is much easier if your mobile phone is on silent, because ringtones – and especially catchy songs – drain your brain power.
Scientists at Washington University in St Louis found that students scored up to 25 per cent less on tests after being exposed to ringing mobile phones.
The worsts results were posted after hearing a song they knew and liked.
Students exposed to a briefly ringing cell phone scored 25 per cent worse on a test of material presented before the distraction.
Students tested later scored about 25 per cent worse for recall of course content presented during the distraction, even though the same information was covered by the professor just prior to the phone ring and projected as text in a slide show shown throughout the distraction.
In this phase of the experiment, students in a laboratory were tested on simple word-recognition tasks while exposed to a range of auditory distractions, including irrelevant tones, standard mobile phone rings and parts of a song very familiar to most LSU students.
The song, an instrumental version of the LSU fight song composed to support the university’s American Football team, was then being played incessantly.
The song also became a popular mobile phone ringtone.
‘When we played the fight song as part of our lab experiments, the distraction factor lasted longer,’ Shelton said. ‘It slowed down their decision-making performance for a longer time than even a standard ringtone.
The study raises concerns for people who attempt to concentrate while being bombarded by beeps and buzzes from incoming email or text messages.
Findings suggest the potential for distraction is greater if the ring tone has some special meaning or personal relevance, such as a custom tone that identifies a call as coming from a parent, close friend or boss at work.
On the bright side, students in repeated trials of the experiment eventually were able to block the distracting effects of both standard and song-based cell phone rings, gradually reducing cognitive impairment caused by them.
The three-year-old study was published in the Journal of Environmental Psychology and highlighted this week in Men’s Health.

Obama is proposing a total of $1.5 trillion in new taxes over the next decade, mostly on corporations and high-income households. He would use much of that money � nearly $280 billion � to pay for targeted tax breaks for low- and middle-income families.
Obama's proposed tax cuts would benefit households with two wage earners, families with young children in child care and those with older children in college. One proposal would automatically enroll workers in individual retirement accounts, unless they opt out. Another would extend the Earned Income Tax Credit to low-wage workers without children.
Middle-income families that don't fit these categories won't see many changes in their taxes, according to an analysis by the Tax Policy Center, a research group formed by the Urban Institute and the Brookings Institution.
For families making between $50,000 and $75,000 a year, about a quarter of them would get a tax cut, averaging $545, according to the analysis. About 6 percent would get a tax increase, and the rest � about 70 percent � would see no change in their tax bill.
Among the bottom 20 percent � families with incomes averaging $15,600 � nearly a third would get tax cuts averaging $617. The rest would see little or no change in their taxes.
"The key thing is that, overall, there will be winners, losers and a lot of people unaffected," said Roberton Williams, a fellow at the Tax Policy Center.
The center's analysis focused on the effects of the two-earner tax credit, the child-care credit, the expanded education credit, the tax credit for low-wage workers and the program making it easier for workers to enroll in retirement accounts, Williams said. The analysis also took into account Obama's proposal to increase taxes on some investments and estates.
All of these proposals were part of Obama's larger budget plan, which he unveiled Monday.
Obama would pay for middle-class tax cuts by raising taxes on the wealthy � including increasing the tax on capital gains � and changing the way the U.S. taxes the foreign profits of American corporations. Obama's proposals are designed to further talks on Capitol Hill about revamping American business taxes, lowering the overall tax rate while eliminating or reducing many tax breaks.
Obama's proposed tax increases, however, are running into strong opposition from Republicans in Congress.
"I want to work with this administration, and I hope that we can find common ground," said Rep. Paul Ryan, R-Wisc., chairman of the tax-writing House Ways and Means Committee. "But the president has to demonstrate that he's interested in governing, not just posturing."
Obama's proposed tax cuts are getting a friendlier welcome � House Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, said he is open to Obama's plan to increase a tax credit to help pay for childcare expenses. But Boehner has been critical of Obama's overall plan.
The Obama administration says its proposal addresses decades of rising income and wealth inequality, and a tax system that "lets the wealthy shelter hundreds of billions of dollars from taxes each year."
"The president's budget proposes targeted policies to strengthen the middle class, level the playing field for American businesses, create more fairness in our tax code, and lay the groundwork for long-term economic growth for our country that is broadly shared, all while setting a course to put our country on sound fiscal footing," Treasury Secretary Jacob Lew said in a statement.
� Create a tax credit of up to $500 for families with a second wage-earner, which the administration says would benefit 24 million couples. Cost: $89 billion over 10 years.
� Triple the child care tax credit � to a maximum of $3,000 per child � and make the full credit available to families with incomes up to $120,000. Families with higher incomes could get a reduced credit. Cost: $50 billion over 10 years.
Obama's plan would repeal tax breaks for flexible spending accounts for child-care expenses.
� Extend the Earned Income Tax Credit to low-wage workers with no children. Cost: $60 billion over 10 years.
� Consolidate several education tax breaks into an enhanced tax credit of up to $2,500 a student to help pay for college expenses. The tax credit, which is scheduled to expire at the end of 2017, would be made permanent. Cost: $31 billion over 10 years.
