(or final salary pension scheme) provides benefits that are guaranteed to be a proportion of final salary at retirement. The major advantage of this type of scheme for the employee is the guaranteed nature of the benefits.
the rules of the scheme will determine the rate at which benefits accrue, e.g. 1/60th of pensionable salary for each year and complete month of pensionable service.
this is the definition of salary that is used to calculate the member’s benefits at date of leaving or retirement.
As well as a pension, a defined benefit scheme will also provide a tax-free cash lump sum, known as the pension commencement lump sum (PCLS) at retirement. The rules of the scheme will dictate how much tax-free cash can be accrued for each year of service.
The contributions paid to a money purchase pension (or defined contribution) scheme are used to establish a pension fund. The eventual size of the fund is determined by the amount of contributions paid, the charges deducted by the pension provider and the investment returns achieved over the term to retirement (or death).
The benefits provided will depend on the size of the fund at retirement or death. The member may have the option of purchasing a scheme pension or of flexibly accessing their pension savings, either via a drawdown pension option or by taking some, or all, of the fund as an uncrystallised funds pension lump sum (UFPLS). The rules of the scheme will determine which options are offered.
A scheme does not have to offer all (or even any) of the flexible access options and some schemes may only offer the option of a lifetime annuity.
A money purchase scheme may be an occupational scheme provided by an employer for the benefit of the employees, or it may be an individual arrangement funded by the member (and sometimes by the employer as well).
are individual money purchase arrangements, whereby the contributions paid build up in a fund, which is usually either with-profits or unit-linked. The fund can be accessed by the member from the normal minimum pension age of 55 (or earlier if the member is in ill-health or has a protected pension age).
is, in effect, a low cost personal pension. The only difference is that a stakeholder pension scheme is subject to certain minimum standards, concerning, e.g. charges, investment choice, minimum contributions etc.
occupational arrangement. Although a group stakeholder or group personal pension plan may look similar to an occupational pension scheme, it is actually a series of individual money purchase arrangements. Within the group plan each employee has their own arrangement, which belongs to them.
A SIPP, which is an individual money purchase arrangement, is simply a personal pension scheme that has a much wider investment choice than a traditional one offered by a life office. For example, a SIPP can invest directly in company shares or can be used to purchase a commercial property. It can also borrow funds from a third party, such as a Bank.
It has not been possible to take out a new retirement annuity contract since 1 July 1988, although an individual with an existing RAC can continue to contribute to it. Because RACs were previously approved under s.226 of the Income and Corporation Taxes Act 1970, they are sometimes known as section 226s.
An occupational money purchase scheme works on the same principle as a personal or stakeholder pension, with the difference that an employer sets it up on behalf of its employees.
The employer sets the scheme’s eligibility requirements and the rules of the scheme specify the level of contributions to be paid and other factors, such as the age to which the company will pay contributions, the options available when benefits are taken etc.
As well as large occupational money purchase schemes, there are a few variations designed for senior employers and directors and for transfer purposes.
were generally set up as ‘one-man’ schemes aimed at directors and senior employees, usually so that higher benefits could be provided for such employees separate from the main occupational scheme. EPP’s were set up prior to April 2006.
are aimed at company directors and senior employees. A SSAS is defined as a self-administered scheme that has less than twelve members, all of whom must be trustees. They offer a separate pension option for directors and senior employees due to their special additional features and, in particular, for the investment options they provide.
Were, designed to accept benefits transferred in from an occupational pension scheme set up prior to 6 April 2006.
Targeted money purchase schemes are ‘hybrid’ schemes with features common to both defined benefit schemes and money purchase schemes. Under a targeted money purchase scheme a target level of benefit is determined, usually in line with the benefits provided by a defined benefit scheme, i.e. a pension that is a proportion of final salary at or close to retirement. An actuary calculates the contribution rate required to provide the targeted benefit.
The contribution rate for each member is regularly reviewed to keep the funding of the scheme on course to provide the intended level of benefit, often with the advice of an actuary. At retirement, the value of the member’s money purchase assets may be topped up, if necessary, to ensure that the target level of benefits is provided. This topping up may come from either an unallocated account held within the scheme for this purpose; or additional special contributions from the employer.
are defined benefit schemes that also has some of the characteristics of a money purchase scheme.
This provides pension benefits at retirement or earlier death that are the higher of the benefits calculated on the normal defined benefit basis and the benefits arising from a notional money purchase plan. It offers a transfer value for early leavers that will be the higher of the fund built up in a notional money purchase arrangement and the transfer value based on the defined benefits provided by the scheme.
if a transfer value is taken, it may well be the larger of the notional money purchase account or the cash equivalent of the deferred defined benefit.
This type of scheme offers the scheme member a money purchase benefit, with a minimum level of pension related to their final salary and so is in many respects the mirror image of the money purchase underpin scheme. The scheme operates by having the usual money purchase account for each member plus a separate unallocated account to meet the cost of the guarantee where there is insufficient in the member’s account.
The most common type is a Contracted-Out Money Purchase Scheme with a GMP underpin.
Career average schemes are those where the formula used to determine benefits is based on the average earnings over a member’s career and not on their earnings at or near a set age. This tends to reduce the benefits provided to the member and thus the cost to the employer of operating such a scheme.
Anyone whose pay significantly increases as retirement approaches is better off in a traditional defined benefit scheme, rather than a career average scheme. However, it may work out better for a member whose salary reduces as retirement approaches (perhaps because of a move to a less senior position in later years).
The earnings may be revalued in line with price inflation or, more generously, some assessment of earnings inflation. However, an individual’s actual career progression, which may lead to significantly higher earnings in the later years of their working life, is effectively ignored. This is because each year is considered in isolation, rather than the total pension accrual being based on the salary at or close to retirement.
Some employers replace their defined benefit schemes with career average arrangements as a halfway house between defined benefit and money purchase. They sometimes accompany the change with a small increase in accrual rate, e.g. 1/60th to 1/56th.
It is important to remember that such a change is only in respect of future accrual.
each member accrues a proportion of their pensionable salary for each year of pensionable service, e.g. 1/56th per year; for active members of the scheme the amount accrued in each year will be based on the member’s salary for the year in question; and each year’s accrual will then be revalued to retirement in line with the scheme rules; this could be in line with inflation (e.g. with increases in the CPI) or by a fixed amount each year.

text: In 2009, California state archaeologist E. Breck Parkman sifted through the charred and weathered remains of Burdell Mansion in northern California’s Olompali State Historic Park (“Digging the Age of Aquarius,” July/August 2009). The mansion had been home to a hippie commune known as “The Chosen Family,” which was loosely associated with the Grateful Dead and other prominent countercultural figures, for two years before the mansion burned down and the group disbanded in 1969. Among the finds there were 93 vinyl records. The records were without sleeves and, in almost all cases, labels. Parkman set out to identify them. He tried to play a few, without luck, and scrutinized the surviving labels for clues, such as stray words or a distinctive color scheme. He also examined codes stamped on the record and even measured track lengths to compare the sequences with known albums. He has identified 53 so far, which range from the expected (the Beatles, Bob Dylan, Nina Simone) to the markedly more mainstream (Judy Garland, Barbra Streisand, Burl Ives). The identifications confirm the surprising diversity of age and taste among the commune dwellers.

If you're not familiar with Batista, we'll he's one of the most popular wrestlers now in World Wrestling Entertainment. Batista was scheduled to visit Manila for 2 days to promote the upcoming Smackdown Manila Tour set for October 2006.
Out of the 5 malls he'd be touring, I picked the one least likely to have lots of people and on a weekday. I was with my former officemate EO and we were lucky to get in because we already had tickets for the October event. To make our experience even more exciting, both of us were two of 10 lucky texters who won a special official WWE matt and an exclusive opportunity for a meet and greet up close with the Animal.
The whole experience was so surreal and for this day in particular, I was a fan and not a media person covering the event. I was also nervous as what I could say to Batista since there was only a 15 second chance each winner got since they were rushing the event. I clearly remembered I told him "I admire the fact that you acknowledge your Filipino heritage." Ehhhh !!!! Wrong answer ! I don't think he heard me cause of the noise plus the fact the I wasn't able to finish my sentence or else I would miss the photo opportunity. I should've just said "Hope you become champ again !" ... at least it would be short and sweet.
Damn he's huge ! His shoulder is as hard as a rock and his arm is as big as my puny thigh. His thigh is huge enough to be my friend's waist !
The 3 hour wait was worth it. I got my autograph and pic. (Note: I intentionally cut the pic to hide my useless identity. hehehehe!) This is the closest I've gotten to an actual international wrestler. Whooooohooooo !!!! Batista ! Batista !
wow your so lucky ..
galing naman nameet mo si batista personally.. yan ang inaabangan ko noon dito sa italy kaso ang nameet ko lang na wrestler eh si randy orton.. how sad pero okay na din..

Police are investigating a drive-by shooting outside of a Rosedale restaurant that left two people injured on Sunday.
On Oct. 1 at 6 pm, police responded to a 911 call of confirmed shots 139-20 243rd St. Upon their arrival, no one from the incident was at the scene.
According to police, the victims, which are described as a 25-year-old black male and a 23-year-old black female, got into their car outside the location and heard gunshots in their direction. After hearing the shots, they felt pain and realized that they had been shot.
The victims transported themselves to Northwell Health Valley Stream Hospital, where they received treatment for non-life threatening injuries.
Police are unsure what the motive for this incident is at this time. The investigation is ongoing.

Criminal Justice Reform is an issue that has gained traction in a bipartisan fashion over the past decade. It is becoming increasingly important to look critically at whether the system is truly working. Each year, the government spends upwards of $80 billion per year on imprisonment. Since nearly 75% of inmates are incarcerated for nonviolent, mostly drug related crimes and prison overcrowding has become increasingly pervasive, policymakers began to see that new approaches were needed.
Criminal justice reforms are now taking hold on both a state level as well as federally. Across the nation, states with a historically “tough on crime” attitude have undertaken reforms to reduce the number of incarcerated citizens, including several states in the notoriously harsh Deep South. And on the federal level, there is a bipartisan effort to help non-violent offenders.
Proponents of keeping non-violent offenders in jail say that the law is the law, and the consequences shouldn’t be different based on the level of the crime. They support zero tolerance policies, and believe that by incarcerating non-violent, drug related criminals, they are helping to keep those drugs off the streets.
Opponents to keeping non-violent offenders in jail point out that there are too many people in the prison system, leading to overcrowding, and people incarcerated for crimes such as petty theft being imprisoned for life without parole. They say that non-violent, low-level prisoners would be served better by treatment, community service, or probation, as opposed to unnecessarily long prison sentences.
Proponents of mandatory minimums say that sentencing guidelines eliminate disparity in punishments and help reduce judge/jury bias. They say that eliminating mandatory minimums will lead to an increase in violent crimes, and can protect society long-term by removing criminals from society.
Opponents to mandatory minimums say they don’t deter offenders. They also say that these mandatory minimums help fuel social and economic problems such as unemployment and poverty. They also say that mandatory minimums limit the role of the judge, turning them more into an administrator.
Many people say that the media vastly over exaggerates the level of police brutality that actually occurs, which leads to violent protests. They say that police officers only react with force when dealing with someone who poses a threat to themselves or others, and more often than not act in self-defense.
Opponents to police brutality point to the high number of black men killed or wounded while in police custody. They point to cases such as Freddie Grey in Baltimore, Maryland, who died shortly after being taken into police custody. They propose the demilitarization of police forces and required body cameras to hold officers accountable, and hopefully reduce the number of cases of police brutality.
Proponents for civil asset forfeiture say that law enforcement is given a tool to go after organized crime, since they can seize the assets of criminals. They say that it is a legitimate tool of the government, with many states requiring a criminal conviction before civil asset forfeiture can be enforced.
Opponents to civil asset forfeiture say that many times, property is seized without proof of it being used to commit a crime. Additionally, many innocent people have their property seized and their assets forfeited to law enforcement. Some law enforcements use civil asset forfeiture to generate revenue for their departments.

Hello dear readers! We are finally back! Hans and I have been overwhelmed with responsibilities lately, both online and in real life.
In between teaching classes for his work, Hans was able to take our family, all 10 of us, along with him on another recent business trip to West Virginia. The children are loving all of this traveling. Hans, not so much!
We have been working non-stop, fixing up our house to ready it for market. Hopefully by summer we will be able to share with you how God has provided us our homestead!
Good Morning White America has been filling every spare moment of our time producing weekly radio productions, another teaching on humility by Hans which will be posting this week, and hosting bible studies every Sunday. All of us a GMWA are slowly but surely finding our foot in this chaos, and fine tuning all the way. The vision of actual, local church bodies, an official ministry, and raising more leaders besides Adam, Clement, and Hans are becoming realities. Watching God's hand move in it all has been such a blessing!
As far as our YouTube channel, I have been so busy editing for GMWA, gutting the house and yard, preparing our backyard homestead for spring, and being a busy, homeschooling mama of 9, that it has fallen on the backburner. But the end of house projects is in sight, and the school year is winding down. I hope to edit our most recent part of our series on Good Morning White America, on homebirth for Biblical National Principles In Every Decision, and get it up on the Swiss Kinist channel soon. If you haven't tuned into GMWA recently, you will soon be able to here our 7 part section on our birth stories and why homebirth is our decision on YouTube.
Hopefully we will talk again soon!

The series of eight Art and Crafts movement ecclesiastical scenes painted in oils, upon two double sided door panels in forest green from a large cupboard or cabinet of the period, with titles to include 'Curiosity', 'Evil Genius', and 'Prudence' with Celtic Ruskin style roundels to the borders, the panels surviving the last quarter of the nineteenth century to the turn of the century.
Overall the panels are in good decorative order with some knocks and losses to each making them evocative of their life thus far. As parts of a moving door in a cabinet or cupboard they would have been knocked and swung around rather a lot. Each painting is still easily discernable and the colours remain nice and vivid. Each panel has a hook bore into its top for wall or beam mounting. If mounting on a beam for instance one can then see both sides. Alternatively they could be built into a wall or window and become architectural or placed back onto a piece of furniture.
The Arts and Crafts movement grew out of dissatisfaction with mass-produced and often superfluously decorated furniture of the Victorian era, and designers sought to create quality pieces with restrained unpretentious decoration, using for inspiration mediaeval craftsmanship. Although less refined the decoration to these door panels is reminiscent of some of William Burges creations like the cabinet designed by him and built by W. Gualbert Saunders in 1867. The ecclesiastical theme is one that the movement revisited time and again and it would be interesting to further research these panels and the meanings that are hidden within them.
A decorative and versatile octet of intriguing original artworks that distil many Arts and Crafts sensibilities.

It was late October of 2016. The month long celebration honoring the filming of “Halloweentown” in St. Helens had been growing in excitement every weekend. With Halloween itself around the corner, the energetic pulse of the city was escalating to fever pitch – combining local enthusiasm, waves of tourist attention, family friendly events, and creepy shapes moving in the night. If you recall 2016 was the year that hundreds of eerie clown sightings were happening across the nation, with a number spotted here in town. The Autumn chill carried hints of other dark things being shaken loose beneath the surface.
McCormick Park; of creatures watching cars and pedestrians along Old Portland Rd.
More than just movement in the dark was being reported. Ghostly lights and inhuman calls were coming from deep in the undergrowth. A mysterious fog oozed out once the sun was down, and covered the nearby bridge.
park had been quiet for months, after the city began closing McCormick Park’s campgrounds at sunset earlier that summer. But as late October approached this nighttime quiet began to change.
It was eventually discovered that ShoeString Community Players was hosting an extremely unique tour of the park after hours, introducing guests to “Scarecrows! Tales in the Dark”. This adventure into the darkest trails of St. Helens took courageous souls among the spindly trees and swampy ground. On this tour travelers were able to uncover the twisted history behind the town’s scarecrow decorations. Along the darkened trails, the bravest among us could learn the true & forgotten purpose of why the scarecrows are put up every October. Those bold enough to take this tour last year came face-to-face with the hungry forces that the scarecrows protect us from… and hear from previous residents of St. Helens who were not lucky enough to make it out alive.
We find ourselves here again. Once more it grows late in the month of October. The scarecrow decorations are in place all around town, as is tradition. The excitement and haunting atmosphere has returned to St. Helens, and Halloween is right around the corner. Shapes are moving in McCormick Park after dark again. Haunted spirits and a more malevolent presence.
Gather your courage, gather your friends & your loved ones, and check out ShoeString Community Players’ presentation of the Haunted Tours in McCormick Park – “Scarecrows! Tales in the Dark”. An outdoor scare experience, unique to one of our city’s creepiest parks, with tales to be told on October 27 & 28. First tour at 7pm, and last tour at 10pm.

Regular colds and occasional infections are a natural part of childhood. Between seasonal allergies, cold and flu season, and the normal wear and tear and growing pains of childhood, it is not uncommon for children to get sick from time to time. The ability to distinguish between a fleeting cold or virus, and a condition that may require a visit to the pediatrician is essential to keeping your child healthy.
Most commonly known as a sinus infection, sinusitis occurs when nasal passage cavities become inflamed and swollen. Although rare in children under six or seven years of age due to underdeveloped frontal sinuses, sinus infections are not uncommon in older children. Sinusitis can also be caused by an infection, deviated septum, or growths in the sinus cavity known as nasal polyps.
A sinus infection that lasts 12 weeks or more may signify chronic sinusitis. If your child suffers from a bout of chronic sinusitis or a series of sinus infections several times in one year, it is advisable to schedule a consultation with an otolaryngologist to determine the cause and an appropriate treatment plan.
In many cases, a regular sinus infection will clear up on its own with mild pain relievers, decongestants, antihistamines, antibiotics (in case of bacterial infections), and a warm compress to relieve pressure around the nose and eyes. Pediatric sinus surgery may be necessary in cases of chronic and unresponsive infections.
If your child is suffering signs of sinusitis or other ear, nose, and throat condition, contact Pediatric ENT Associates at the Children’s Hospital of Alabama at (205) 831-0101 to schedule a consultation today!

The name Louis is a boy's name of German, French origin meaning "renowned warrior". Louis is ranked #277 on our popularity charts and is often added to lists like Old Man Names and discussed in our forums with posts like "A brother or sister for little Jack or Olivia".
Kate and William shocked the world when they announced that they'd named their third child Louis -- Prince Louis Arthur Charles, to be more precise. But we've been predicting a comeback for this classic name for a long time.
Both Louis and Lewis are already quite popular again in Britain. And several other high-profile parents —like actors Sandra Bullock and Bill Pullman— beat the Duke and Duchess to the punch by naming their sons Louis years ago.
The one complicating factor, at least in the U.S., is the association with comedian Louis C.K., who was widely condemned for sexual improprieties.

I really like this name! I can't decide which pronunciation I like the best though. Both are really cute for a little boy!
And now, the name of the new baby Cambridge.
Welcome, Louis Arthur Charles, His Royal Highness Prince Louis of Cambridge!
I personally prefer the LOO-is pronunciation as its the German one and I grew up with this pronunciation but I find the Lewis spelling very ugly!
I adore this name, and the French pronunciation. Until reading these comments I had no idea it could be pronounced "LOO-is", I've only ever heard it pronounced "LOO-ee" here in Australia.
I think that this name is more than ever being pronounced Lou-ee because of Louis Tomlinson from One Direction. I definitely never liked the Lewis pronunciation like Louis Stevens from Even Stevens.
Love "LOU-ee", but really don't like the "LOO-iss" pronunciation. It would bug me if I had a Louis "LOO-ee" and people kept mispronouncing it that way.
My name is Louis and throughout the years in secondary school, my teachers always kept calling me: Louie. I believe that's how the French pronounce it.
My one year old is Louis. We get lots of compliments on his name. We use loo-iss, as we are in the US, and we preferred that as his full name. However, we call him Louie as a nn so when people use that pronunciation (we get more loo-iss than loo-ee though), we have no need to correct them. Like Louis CK, for example. We thought that it covered all bases. We also call him Lou. We are really happy with his name! It's old fashioned and rather uncommon but still totally recognizable. It's rich with history. All qualities we wanted in a name for our son.
This is such a great classic boy name! One of my favorite ones. It's regal and rich with history, while also having a hip-vintage feel to me. I always can't decide whether I prefer Louis or Lewis, but both spellings are wonderful.
Potential mispronunciation is the only reason I wouldn't use this name. If I'm not mistaken, Brits pronounce the 's' in Lewis, but not Louis, which is what I, an American, agree with. However, I'm afraid my country won't follow suit.
Louis Tomlinson was my influence for this name, therefore I pronounce it Loo-ee, and never Loo-iss, it really irritates me when people pronounce it like that. Everyone I know personally pronounces it Loo-iss but that doesn't sway my opinion. I know both pronunciations are technically correct but Loo-ee is the traditional French pronunciation and should always be said like that, in my opinion. Lovely name by the way!
Our son Louis is pronounced Lou-ee. People here call him Lou-iss and we're constantly correcting them. Didn't realise the name could also be Lou-iss when we named him!
Everyone I know (including 4 Louis') pronounce it Loo-ee, Loo-iss is spelt Lewis. I also know a Louie, pronounced Loo-ee.
Well with the popularity of One Direction and its member Louis Tomlinson (who says it Loo-ee), the French pronunciation might become more popular in the U.S.
Most English-speaking people would pronounce this Loo-is. Even though the French pronounce it Loo-ee, you would have to correct people most of the time. Lewis is an intriguing spelling, but Louis works just as well.
LOO-ee is the French pronunciation. Loo-iss is how Americans usually say it. So I guess LOO-ee is the correct pronunciation, but the long use of Loo-iss has technically made them both correct.
I might be wrong but I believe LOO-ee is the traditional French pronunciation, and LOO-iss is the German pronunciation. The LOO-ee pronunciation is much more popular and instinctive to most people though, so the Lewis spelling is probably better if you want it pronounced that way.
A lot of people say this is pronoucned LOO-ee, but the Louis I know pronounces it Loo-iss. I prefer that pronunciation, but which one is it really?

If you send one student to college it might affect your ability to send another student.
You think that you may have to sacrifice some of your retirement to pay for college.
These problems are not simple to solve but there is a time tested strategy that will give you a formula for success.
M stands for match the student to the college that has the right curriculum and environment for that student and is affordable.
A stands for acceptance by the college. The student has to be accepted at those colleges that they are a good match.
P stands for pay for the total cost of attendance.
M stands for match and is the most important step of the process. A correct match reduces the likelihood of having a student who later decides to change majors or takes 5 or 6 years to graduate which is much closer to the norm today. So, success at this step saves you tens of thousands of dollars and a lot of emotional grief for everyone in your family!
Match is accomplished by discovering the natural strengths your student has and can be accomplished by taking one of the most powerful assessment tools available for decades to both education and industry.
For over 50 years, the Birkman Method® has been an industry leader in personality assessment assisting over 3.5 million participants with dialing into their hard wiring. Leading companies such as Procter & Gamble, Wal-Mart and NASA use the Birkman as well as Emory University, Colgate and the University of South Carolina. This multi-dimensional tool focuses on measuring usual behaviors, underlying needs, stress behaviors and interests to reveal multiple ingrained personality dimensions. This information combined with a student’s academic profile directs the student in discovering best match, economically safe careers, the college majors that lead to those positions and the schools respected for these majors.
If a student can start college having chosen a major and career path confident their needs will be met, interests embraced and stresses avoided, then the 4-year graduation rate skyrockets saving thousands in future tuition. Learn how not starting with fit can create a $75,000 fifth year of college!
Students take the 45-minute online assessment in the comfort of their home. Once your Birkman and Learning Enrichment Assistance Program (LEAP) Student Profile are complete, we marry the two sets of information into best fit suggestions for the individual student. Families receive via email the full 55 page Birkman® results, the 24 page LEAP Fit 2 Flourish report including 3-5 best fit careers for exploration, 3-5 majors leading to these careers, 3-5 colleges respected for these majors.
Start with the 40+ year career & work back to the right college fit!
Each Reports PLUS Consult package includes a 6 month subscription to Candid Career for further career & major exploration.
A stands for accept. That basically means you have to have a high enough grade point average and standardized test score to be accepted at the schools that you were matched with in the M part of the process.
Take a look at the following video to better understand how the college admissions process works from the perspective of the colleges. Spoiler Alert – The following video would never be published by a college admissions or public relations office.
P stands for Pay. After all, what good is it to be accepted to a college you can’t afford? What good is it to pay for your kids college education and then have to work until you are 75?
Don’t let your students leave the nest with your nest egg. This is where we can be especially helpful. Remember colleges require you to divulge everything about your financial position during the application process. While you might go through the college admissions process 2 or 3 times in your life, they deal with thousands of students per year. With two children in college and one in private high school we know the college admissions process and how to even the playing field for your student.
Calculation of your Expected Family Contribution (EFC) is a vital step in dealing with the pay step.
Our job is to show you how to reduce your EFC and increase your need so that you receive either more financial aid or maximize your savings for retirement and other needs.

Dec. 29, 2012 8:00 p.m.
As British Columbians embrace the new year, they’ll be greeted with increases in health care deductions.
For the fourth year in a row, the provincial government is raising the monthly Medical Services Plan (MSP) premiums from $128 to $133 per family, or an extra $60 a year. However, only those making more than $30,000 a year will be affected.
“Nearly every British Columbian will be paying more in 2013, further cutting our purchasing power and ability to save,” said Jordan Bateman, regional director of the Canadian Taxpayer Federation.
MSP premiums are a tax that virtually every Canadian pays, except in cases where employers pay for their employees, he said.
MSP charges have increased 24 per cent over the past three years, accruing an extra $300 in annual cost to taxpayers.
“It’s not tied to your income, that’s the worst part,” Bateman said.
Some Canadians will also be faced with increases in Employment Insurance and Canada Pension Plan deductions.
For those earning $47,400 or higher, EI premiums increase by $51.50 to a maximum of $891.12 per year. Employers will pay $1,247.57 annually, a hike of $71.61.
Workers making $51,100 or more will pay the maximum $2,356.20 for CPP, up by $49.50, while the employer’s share jumps by the same amount to a total of $4,712.40.

On May 10 in Laxson Auditorium in Chico, I had the pleasure to hear a great orchestra built by the communities of Redding and Chico and supported by California State University, Chico. This evening was the final concert for Kyle Wiley Pickett, who is widely credited with building the North State Symphony into one of the finest regional professional orchestras in its league.
Guest soloist David Requiro was outstanding on the Dvorak Cello Concerto. He is a remarkably talented artist, that perception quite evident from the get-go. His instrument had a rich, bright timbre and a strong vitality, and he controlled its expressive voice as if it were his own. His touch was sublime. It won’t be long until we hear him on the stages of Los Angeles — watch for his name.
As a conductor, Pickett’s motions were smooth and calibrated; his expressive gestures masterfully managed the qualitative and quantitative energies of the night. But Pickett had a truly personal bond with this orchestra, a characteristic that transcended technique and interpretation. There were years of communication and memories, of joys and tears on stage and off imbedded in the context. The music had an intimacy that was genuine and deep, it had an uncanny humanity, the affect and camaraderie were palpable.
Britten’s Four Sea Interludes from Peter Grimes were the orchestral highpoint of the program. Britten’s music is just so approachable, especially these themes. What a pleasure to hear this music, and especially to hear such a version, affective and superbly technical. Concertmaster Terrie Baune led the strings wistfully. The piece was performed on Pickett’s first program years ago, so just imagine the autobiographic affect, the understanding, the immediacy this performance evoked as the music poured out like a living fluid.
The auditorium was passable as a concert hall, although the brilliance of the strings was somewhat damped and the lower brass and double basses radiated disproportionately. However, the woodwinds remained crisp, and the horns sailed through nicely.
Brahms’ Academic Festival Overture was a rousing exclamation point to an extraordinary tenure with the North State Symphony. The ensemble was full-bore ahead. Pickett was exuberant. Bravo!
Best wishes to Pickett in the future as music director of the orchestras in Springfield, Missouri, and Topeka, Kansas. Bravo for stellar achievement with the North State Symphony!
For more information about the North State Symphony, visit http://northstatesymphony.org/.
Excellent review for an excellent performance. I’m confident we will continue to hear both David Requiro and Kyle Pickett’s names in the future!!

Up for sale on The Samba is a ’58 Single Cab Splitty project. This truck is remarkably sound and ready for a restoration. The previous owner media blasted the truck from stem to stern so there’s nothing to hide. The truck is equipped with period offroad goodies including coil-over front shocks and air-adjustable rear units. The rear wheel arches were cut to accommodate oversized knobbies but the original steel road wheels and tires are included.
The original engine is long gone but a 1600 dual port that is out to rebuild (it turns freely) is included. The truck bed is solid as are the rear floor pans. The front pans have been patched however new pans are included. Other new panels include a pair of jack points, a new lower nose panel and driver’s side rocker.
The front and rear glass along with the tail lights and turn signals are gone.
Rebuild the engine, add a set of Safari windows and clear coat the body to have one tough shop truck or start a ground up restoration without having to guess at what lurks beneath old fixes and resprays.

Difficulties in adolescence can be overwhelming. Adolescence is a challenging time – a time to deal with forces that shape the self and direct the search for identity. As a teen there are so many pressures to deal with. Not only is the body changing and hormones raging, there is also a need to fit in at school, make friends, deal with homework and SATs, make decisions about the future, and submit college applications. Home life can be hectic too as the adolescent moves toward independence and strives for more self-control.
Often with the onset of adolescence, problems between parents and teenagers occur. These problems arise from adolescent separation. Parents complain that their adolescent does not want to talk to them anymore, locks themself in their room, and that they- the parent- feel left out and ignored. The adolescent often complains that the parent does not understand them, does not respect their need for privacy, and is restrictive of their personal freedoms. The parent complains that the adolescent is combative and resistant to their authority, direction, and rules.
There are a number of warning signs that the parent may need to seek outside help. These include aggressive behavior or violence, drug or alcohol abuse, promiscuity, school truancy, incidents with the law, or runaway behavior. If the parent is resorting to hitting or other violent behavior in an attempt to maintain discipline, this is also a danger sign.

Got a chance to check out a new soul food spot today in the southwest Denver area: Anointed BBQ and Soul Food, 2504 W. Hampden, Sheridan, CO 80110. This is the former location of Country Time BBQ-a place that I liked.
Anointed has an interesting backstory. It’s run by Marriese “Mo” Jones who was formerly homeless. He’s a God-loving man, hence the religiously-connotative name of his restaurant. A few months ago, Westword did a nice write-up on this place in advance of its opening.
I didn’t try the cue this time and I went full on for the soul food option. I was impressed that the joint offered salmon croquettes–not something that one sees in these parts. Jones told me that he’s thinking about taking it off the menu because no one orders it. He must not have many African American customers at this point cuz they would be familiar with this specialty and gobble it up.
Salmon croquette with fried green tomatoes, a slice of beef brisket, collard greens and cornbread.
I ordered salmon croquettes, fried green tomatoes, collard greens with cornbread (pictured). The croquettes were old-school with more fish than filler. The greens were good, but I didn’t taste the smoked pork neck and bacon ends that Jones says he puts in his greens. He does so because his food is “home style,” and “that’s how we grew up.” No gluten-free options here because “I got no time for that.” The cornbread square looks like Jiffy, but it’s not sweet.
My friend and Westword food writer Mark Antonation ordered a special with a fried pork chop, beans and rice in gravy, coleslaw, cornbread and a slice of 7-Up cake. The cake was on-point, and I would have loved a little more of a glaze.

For many young adults, their very first memories of Valentine’s Day would most likely be of deciding what paper card to sent to a crush of yours in the early years of primary school.

Choosing what to wear for your valentine could be a very hard decision, including deciding what to wear in the bedroom like those fancy womens shoes, yes I am talking about plus size lingerie.

In 1796 Revd John Swete visited Fardel and described it as ‘an old mansion, of respectable appearance, surrounded by large branching oaks, Sons oj other times ... it never seems to have been possessed of much respectability, on this side were the gardens, fish ponds &c enclosed within a long range of high walls, there is but little left however of its quondam magnificence, just enough to excite regret, that it has gone to utter decay.’ He also noted that the chapel was used for making cider and keeping pigeons.

From 2004-2014 I was Design & Marketing Manager at The Arches in Glasgow. The Arches is one of Europe’s leading cutting-edge arts venues, and has a strong commercial strand. In my role there I was responsible for leading the marketing, communications and sales team for the venue. This involved devising and executing all marketing strategies and maintaining the organisation's brand identity. I was also responsible for designing all print and digital publicity material for the venue: the events programme, (theatre, art, dance, live music and club nights), seasonal brochures, stationery, signage, corporate events department and Cafe Bar & Restaurant. In 2009 we were one of the first arts organisations in the UK to employ a full time Digital Marketing Officer to maintain and improve our digital and social media strategy. This, along with a website redesign, resulted in monthly website visit growth from 25,000-85,000 from 2010-13 as well as gaining one of the largest and most active social media communities in Scotland - 60,000+ Facebook / 20,000+ Twitter - resulting in younger than average arts attending audiences.
Some of our most successful campaigns, resulting in sell-out events, included: Whatever Gets You Through The Night, Bullet Catch (World Tour), Trilogy (for which we took over a whole venue at the Edinburgh Fringe before transferring to the Barbican), Beats, Behaviour Festival, Glasgow Music & Film Festival, Arches LIVE, Love Action, Africa Express and Death Disco. You can see a selection of my Arches design work on the portfolio page.

Attorney General Josh Shapiro and a coalition of 17 other Attorneys General, six Mayors, including the mayors of Philadelphia and Pittsburgh, and the bipartisan U.S. Conference of Mayors won a federal court order to block the Trump Administration and Department of Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross from demanding citizenship information in the 2020 decennial census.
The coalition argued that demanding citizenship information would depress census turnout in states with large legal immigrant populations, directly threatening those states’ fair representation in Congress and the Electoral College, as well as billions of dollars in critical federal funds for education, infrastructure, Medicaid, and more.
A judge in U.S. District Court in the Southern District of New York vacated Secretary Ross’s decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census, calling it “unlawful for a multitude of independent reasons and [therefore it] must be set aside”. Further, the Court also stated that “to conclude otherwise and let Secretary Ross’s decision stand would undermine… what Congress itself has described as ‘one of the most critical constitutional functions our Federal Government performs’,” referring to the rule of law and the decennial census.
Attorney General Shapiro noted that non-citizens in the Philadelphia metro region pay approximately $6 billion in taxes each year, while receiving fewer benefits than citizen taxpayers. Immigrant-owned businesses accounted for 96 percent of Main Street business growth in Philadelphia between 2000 and 2013. Across Pennsylvania, 3.3 percent of the population are non-citizens, with the highest percentage residing in Avondale in Chester County – where non-citizens make up 36.5 percent of the population.
Under the Constitution, the Census Bureau has an obligation to determine “the whole number of persons in each state.” Yet demanding citizenship information in the Census would have depressed participation among immigrants, causing a population undercount that would disproportionately harm states and cities with large immigrant communities.
Non-citizens are counted in the Census for the purposes of federal funds, apportioning of congressional seats and Electoral College votes, and the drawing of state and local districts. According to the Census Bureau, there are 132 federal programs allocated by Census data, totaling $675 billion per year.
In December 2017, the U.S. Department of Justice requested that the Census Bureau demand citizenship information in the 2020 Census form sent to every household in the United States, even though the Census is supposed to count all persons—citizens and non-citizens alike. The Department of Justice argued that the collection of such information was necessary to ensure proper enforcement of the 1965 Voting Rights Act.
However, as a coalition of Attorneys General argued in a letter sent to the Commerce Secretary in February 2018, the demand would have precisely the opposite effect by driving down participation in immigrant communities — a concern that is even more acute in today’s political climate. The resulting undercount would deprive immigrant communities of fair representation when legislative seats are apportioned and district lines are drawn.
When the Department of Commerce moved to add the citizenship question to the 2020 Census in March 2018, the coalition of Attorneys General and Mayors filed suit in April 2018 under the Enumeration Clause of the U.S. Constitution, as this action by the Trump administration will impede an “actual Enumeration” required by the Constitution, and the Administrative Procedure Act, which permits courts to set aside unlawful or arbitrary and capricious agency decisions.
As the Census Bureau’s own research shows, the decision to demand citizenship information will “inevitably jeopardize the overall accuracy of the population count” by significantly deterring participation in immigrant communities, because of concerns about how the federal government will use citizenship information. These concerns have been amplified by President Trump’s anti-immigrant rhetoric and pattern of actions that target immigrant communities.

If you knew Chico when… | Can I Bring the Dog?
he came to me, you would fully understand why I am going to make this brag in public.
How many ways is this wonderful for us? My formerly pushy, barky dog went un-noticed in a meeting where people came in after us (That’s often a trigger. “They were not here before, they do not belong now. Look out! Danger!). His name is now in the public record as attending a town commission meeting. And our friend Chelle Miller bragged to her fellow commissioners that Chico has one of the commissions’s Hikin’ Herons patches.
I attribute this developed self control to our agility work. Compared to having me walk away from him on the crowded start line at the trial the other day, lying quietly beside me at a meeting is a piece of cake.

Nice in so many ways. His growth, yours and people getting used to having dogs in public places. And how cool to be in the minutes!! Sounds like something from a James Herriott novel!

Why don’t business leaders in favour of the UK staying in the EU speak out?
Back at the end of the 1990s one of the supposed strengths of the Britain in Europe campaign was that it brought together leaders of both industry and politics to create a broad coalition that would have eventually campaigned for the UK to join the Euro, if the vote had ever happened.
Fast forward more than a decade, and we have The Telegraph’s story last week where a photo of the documents Standard Chartered’s chief exec Peter Sands shows that UK-EU relations were at the top of his agenda to discuss with the Prime Minister in Downing Street. Yet what happened then? Very little. As far as I can tell there was no statement from Sands to explain his views, and no follow up debating whether big banks would rather the UK stayed in the EU or not. See this Google News search for example.
Benedict Brogan has written a follow up for The Telegraph which gets close to the heart of the issue in a roundabout manner, namely that there seems to be the assumption that all will be OK in the end, and that the UK is not actually going to be moving towards the exit door.
But I can’t help but feel that Cameron is playing a very dangerous game. The longer he plays to the Tory backbenches, allows the anti-EU sentiment there to fester, the harder it is going to be to avoid a referendum. And then if a referendum does happen, so the chances decrease of ensuring the UK stays in the EU, because to make sure Britain does stay in, against a hostile public opinion and press, is going to require meticulous organising and planning over a number of years, and we are not even at the starting gates with regard to that planning. Further, any such campaign is going to need funding from people like Peter Sands, the very sort of person who at the moment is not putting his head above the parapet in public to comment on EU matters.
@Tony – sarcasm might be the lowest form of wit, and indeed that comment was sarcastic. But to be told by a first time commenter on this blog “shame on you” was lower as a comment even than sarcasm!
Jon,is that response genuine or are you trying to take the p—.? Remember sarcasm is the lowest form of wit.
And you wonder why people hate the EU. Shame on you.
Wow. What an insightful comment.
I think danucky you give more credit to the Sun , Mail etc than they deserve. I’m a Euro skeptic and never buy any of those papers. It would help your pro EU strategy if you finally managed to learn that lots of people don’t like the shape of the EU as it stands as they believe its a bad idea for various good reasons.
I guess it would be a very steep uphill battle to win (at least part of) the public, I can only imagine the headlines running in The Sun, Daily Mail, Daily Express and the whole lot. What is it with Rupert Murdoch and his Euro-phobic craze (not even an EU national)?

An attempt by the Erdogan government to send a Turkish Phantom air force fighter jet into Syrian airspace flying provocatively low, apparently in order to incite a “Gulf of Tonkin” incident to fan flames of NATO intervention a la Libya two weeks ago, fell flat when Turkey’s general staff issued a statement saying: “No traces of explosives or flammable products were found on the debris recovered from the sea.” Erdogan was forced to shift his line to cover face, no longer using the phrase, “shot down by Syria” and instead referring to “our plane that Syria claimed to have destroyed.”8 NATO has established a command and control center in Iskenderun, in Turkey’s Hatay province, near the Syrian border months ago to organize, train and arm the “anything but” Free Syrian Army.9 The Obama Administration, not wanting a full Syria war before US elections in November, reportedly also told Erdogan to “cool it” for now.
According to Mary Ellen O’Connell, a respected legal scholar and professor of law and international dispute resolution at the University of Notre Dame, “The International Committee of the Red Cross statement means that the Assad regime is facing an organized armed opposition engaging in military force, and it has the legal right to respond in kind. The Syrian military will have more authority to kill persons based on their being part of the armed opposition than when Assad was restricted to using force under peacetime rules.”14 The rebel opposition groups claim it means just the opposite.

Rated 4 out of 5 by KSLadyDiana from Good Color I bought the November Citrine studs to go with the hoops I also bought from Palm Beach Jewelry, and the color matched perfectly. They are a bit bit bigger than most studs I wear. I don't know why but, the first time I wore them, my ear got a little infected and that's why I didn't give them 5 stars. When it's cleared up, I'll try them again and hope it was just a fluke and I'll be able to wear them without irritation.

According to Health.com, there are a lot of things that can cause thinning hair. Most people think of hair loss as a problem faced by men, but women can certainly lose their hair, as well. Unlike men, who may develop a bald spot that gets larger or start seeing their hairline recede, women generally find that the part in their hair starts to become wider. They may also see the hair all over their head thin out more and more as they age. Some of this can be related to menopause, but there are other genetic and environmental components that can play a role, as well.
What Can Be Done for Hair Loss in Women?
• seeing a naturopath in order to explore natural treatments for hair loss.
In some cases, women will benefit from one or more of these options, but they may not work well for every woman who has thinning hair.
For severe hair loss in women where regrowth does not appear possible, a hair transplant may be the right choice. It can be the best treatment for thinning hair in women, even though it is more commonly discussed for men. Not a lot of women explore the possibility of transplanted hair, and many may not even realize it is an option for them. However, by working with the right doctor a woman can examine all of her options and select the one that will provide the result she is looking for based on her needs and budget. That may be a hair transplant, or may be another type of treatment that will be effective for her.
If you are ready to discuss a hair transplant, or work with a professional to find the best treatment for thinning hair in women so you can choose the right option for your needs, get in touch with Metropolitan Vein and Aesthetic Center today, at 1-914-295-2202.

HARRISON, N.J.—Nestled along the Passaic River, this town has never quite shed its gritty industrial image, even as residential development helped transform nearby Jersey City and Hoboken from faded urban centers into commuter havens.
A recent announcement of $256 million in funding to replace the town’s 76-year-old PATH station, which isn’t even currently wheelchair accessible, could help change that.
A half dozen developers are planning to break ground on more than 1,000 new units, primarily rentals, in Harrison by the end of the year.
The construction is part of an even more ambitious idea: to add 13,000 units over the next decade to a town that has just 13,000 residents now. And it’s a gamble. That’s about as many new rental units as are slated to sprout in Brooklyn in the coming years.
But if it’s successful, the building boom may help reverse Harrison’s downward course.
“What was the alternative? Have the town die?” Mayor Raymond McDonough said.
Harrison’s redevelopment in many ways reflects a continuing reversal in the state’s fortunes. As single-family homes in leafy suburban towns languish, cities are experiencing a bit of a revival because of their proximity to public transportation.
“This doesn’t mean the suburbs are going to disappear, but it really makes sense for people who are close to New York,” said Stuart Meck, an associate research professor at the Edward J. Bloustein School of Planning and Public Policy.
In the mid-twentieth century tens of thousands of employees streamed into Harrison’s industrial zone each day, home to companies like RCA electronics and Otis Elevator Co.
About 15 years ago, the city created a plan for developing the 250-acre former industrial section of Harrison into a primarily residential community. But the plan hit a series of obstacles, including the Sept. 11, 2001, attacks and collapse of Lehman Brothers Holdings Inc., when the flow of commuters to downtown Manhattan dropped.
Private investors have spent or committed more than $650 million toward the redevelopment effort, and $286 million of public funds have been committed to the redevelopment from different levels of government.
Harrison still faces significant hurdles: The developers will have to create retail and green space, where there is currently almost none, and the new developments are isolated from the already limited downtown core.
But the success of one of the area’s recent rental developments has given other developers the confidence to move forward. Harrison Station—a 275-unit rental building built by Ironstate Development and Pegasus Group on remediated brown fields—began leasing in September and is fully rented.
Among the building’s attractions are a swimming pool and beach volleyball court. But its primary selling point was more likely cheap rents—$1,750 a month for a one-bedroom—and generous incentives.
Sarah Lin, a 33-year-old who works at World Financial Center, moved into the building a few weeks ago. She and her husband were living in a studio apartment on the Upper West Side, but Ms. Lin, who is pregnant, said they needed more space.
Ms. Lin said the landlord offered two months of free rent when they signed the contract, which helped seal the deal.
The same partnership plans to break ground this spring on a 138-room Element by Westin hotel, as well as a second apartment building.
Advance Realty is building a project, Riverbend District, which will eventually include more than 500,000 square feet of retail space.
The developer plans to break ground this fall on the first phase, which will consist of 300 units, but no initial retail component.
Developers say they will compete in part because rents will be about 30% lower than Jersey City and Hoboken.
“I don’t think you can get a one-bedroom for $2,000” in those places, said Jeff Milanaik, president of Heller Industrial Parks Inc., which is building a multiphase development consisting of 750 residential units that will break ground early next year.
Developers say they plan to put in more than half-a-million-square-feet of retail space over time and several acres of parks. The mayor said the money will be up to the private sector and the developers say they plan to seek state grants for the creation of green space.
Krystal Mitchell, 25, is a bartender at the Green Room, a favorite watering hole three blocks from the PATH station. She moved to Harrison with her family five years ago but said it needs basic amenities such as a cafe with wireless Internet.
What the city doesn’t need is more bars, Ms. Mitchell said. “You can drink or get a tattoo,” she said.

New York : Doubleday, ©2001.
An award-winning writer and music critic offers a fascinating account of one of the most remarkable women of the Middle Ages, the world in which she lived, and her enduring contributions to science, theology, mysticism, and music. 4 full-color illustrations.
Appendix II : Sister Ancilla.
The book being reviewed is the 2001 Doubleday edition, though it has been re-published by Faber and Faber in 2013 with an identical number of pages, so it is unlikely to be significantly different. Why should the life twelfth century German abbess be of interest? She was evidently a very fine composer and a person of religious importance renowned for her visions. However the purpose of this review is to assess Hildegard’s significance as an early woman scientist.
Fiona Maddocks tells the story of Hildegard’s life including lengthy quotations from her writings. Hildegard was born in 1098 and took the veil at the age of eight, probably entering the monastery at Disibodenberg at that age or perhaps six years later. In 1136 she became Abbess of Disibodenberg. In 1147-8 she founded her own abbey at Rupertsberg near Bingen. Over the next thirty years she travelled, wrote and preached extensively with her writing aided by her secretary Volmar. Hildegard of Bingen died on 17th September 1179.
The book contains and it is in Chapter 10 that Fiona Maddocks starts to explain Hildegard’s scientific achievements. Maddocks points out that at this time there was a preoccupation with writing taxonomies listing, grouping and putting things in order. Often these appeared as Bestiaries or herbals. This was not experimental science but an earlier, necessary stage of gathering data. She produced two volumes Physica and Causae et curae which have been described as relics of the dark ages or a ‘series of haphazardly compiled jottings’. Physica consists of nine sections listing a thousand plants and animals describing their physical and medicinal properties. Causae et curae is a more medicinally oriented text examining the causes and cures of disease. Maddocks analyses the two books in more detail answering questions about the nature of Hildegard’s knowledge, how Hildegard acquired the knowledge and Hildegard’s view of the natural world. Maddocks does this in an interesting and competent fashion making a strong case for Hildegard to be considered as an early scientists as well as being a theologian and visionary.
Altogether, I found the book well written, and exceptionally well researched. It is greatly to be recommended.

Cool Girl | Priya the Blog | life & style in Nashville & beyond!
It has taken approximately two listens to Tove Lo's new song, Cool Girl, to get it stuck in my head from now until the END OF TIME. That's really where the title of the post comes from, not that I didn't feel cool in new brocade shorts walking in Brooklyn to dinner and drinks at the Brooklyn Barge.
Of course I feverishly threw several potential going-out-fit pieces (all black) into my bag on Friday night before heading to NYC last weekend, and of course I hated them all upon arrival. Saturday's goal was to find an outfit I loved for going out that night, and after several stops in SoHo, I found these shorts at Topshop (they are available online! I'm wearing a 6 for your reference.) This was my first time in a Topshop! I fell in love with this print on a dress first, and then I saw the shorts and realized they would go perfectly with this crop top. Plus I love shorts these days. Bonus that I can wear them with tights in the Winter. And I really, really, love brocade!
As crazy as last weekend was, that's how chill and normal this weekend is- I have big goals of cleaning my house top to bottom (including my closet!), cooking something healthy for next week, dinner with friends, and some good workouts. Hope your weekend rocks, too!
