...With tax season approaching, I wanted to share information about a tax-advantaged retirement account that everyone receiving taxable compensation in 2014 can fund. You have until April 15 to make an Individual Retirement Account (IRA) contribution of up to $5,500 1 for the 2014 tax year. Accounts and Eligibility There are two types of IRAs -- Traditional and Roth. You can make a full Roth IRA (post-tax) contribution if your individual* 2014 Modified Adjusted Gross Income (MAGI) 2 is less than $114,000 -- or a partial contribution if it’s between $114,000 and $129,000. *Married filing jointly: 2014 Roth income limit threshold is between $181,000 and $191,000 2014 Traditional income limit threshold is between $96,000 and $116,000 Contribution limit of $11,000 (two individual IRAs of $5,500 apiece) MAGI figures provided below are based on an individual tax filer You can make a full Traditional IRA (pre-tax) contribution if your modified AGI is less than $60,000 -- or a partial pre-tax contribution if it's between $60,000 and $70,000. Roth IRA The appeal of the Roth IRA is the ability to invest after-tax money so that it grows tax-free over time, and then you use that money in retirement. Besides compounding tax-free, all withdrawals are tax-free, unlike a Traditional IRA or standard 401(k) account. You also have the option to withdraw your initial contributions at any time without penalty, not that it's advisable to, but having that flexibility makes...

...The Tempest written during the 1600s by one of the most influential writers of his time, William Shakespeare, takes us deep in to the Renaissance, in which questions of religion and man’s place in the world were the cause of much conflict. There are many insinuations that the character of Prospero is a cover for Shakespeare himself and through the protagonist, Shakespeare voices some of his views about the world he was living in. Along with themes of power, men and control, colonization also seems to be a main focus of Shakespeare throughout The Tempest, as almost every character ponders upon how he would rule the island on which the play is set if he were its king. Dr Faustus was written during the reign of England’s Queen Elizabeth I by Christopher Marlowe. It focuses on the main character, Dr Faustus, selling his soul to the devil in exchange for all the luxuries the world has to offer “twenty-four years of all voluptuousness.” Both plays present men questing for power and have left their mark on the modern world of literature. Shakespeare highlights the dominant themes power and control through the characters of Prospero and Antonio. Throughout the play many of the characters are in constant battle for power and freedom sometimes resulting in them succumbing to malevolent deeds. Prospero personifies the imperialist omnipotent ruler as he enslaves Caliban son of Sycorax and rightful ruler of the island. He uses the informal pronoun and pejorative phrase “thou most lying...

...Arthur Blank Servant Leadership Brandon Crothers Management 310 9/6/11 Arthur Blank is the owner of the Atlanta Flacons. When I was growing up I use to watch the Falcons on television. My favorite player was Michael Vick because he was fast and a great quarterback. The reason I picked Arthur Blank was because Michael Vick got in trouble with dog fighting and that hurt the Falcons organization. Their reputation got hurt also but, Arthur Blank turned this franchise around and got its name back and brought the organization back to winning again. Arthur Blank is a servant leader because he listens and he put s the people before himself. Arthur Blank was born on September 27, 1942 in New York, New York and he received an accounting degree from Babson College. He worked as an accountant before joining a small pharmaceutical company started by his father. The company got bought by Daylin; So Blank became an executive at Daylin drugstore unit. Blank then moved to the Handy Dan Improvement Centers, this is a division of Daylin, where he met Bernard Marcus. In 1978, both Blank and Marcus were fired by Daylin over disagreements about the small chain's future and they decided to go into the home-improvement business. They looked at four cities to determine where the perfect location for their new home-improvement business. They then settled on Atlanta as the place with the right market and real estate conditions to test their theory that consumers would flock to huge stores...

...Love knows no reason, no boundaries, no distance. It has a sole intention of bringing people together to a time called forever. — Unknown The saying above is something that can be related to the context of communication with our love ones in the society today, but with cyberspace, it has made communication easier for everyone; Unlike before where messages are sent via snail mail and telegrams when our family or friends leaves home, those letters eventually get lost in time specially if we don’t take good care of them. With cyberspace however, it is never impossible for us to reach them (our love ones) and continue to build relationships even when they’re across the continent. I started using social media in 2010 when one of my closest friends moved to Canada. As I wasn’t familiar in using other social media that time such as friendster or myspace , we used yahoo mail instead as our main tool of communication since yahoo messenger wasn’t applicable to us since we don’t own our own computers back then to personally download the application. As time flies, Facebook came into the picture in list of social medias and because of the distance that bounded us, cyberspace in the form of social media became our reality — interacting with my friend wasn’t only limited to using emails for messages, connecting ourselves through liking and commenting on photos and also posting and sharing status on each other’s walls made our friendship stronger, specially with the user friendly...

...A Briefer history of Time Steven hawking with Leonard Mlodinow Bantam Books (2005) Pages 1-60 A Briefer History of Time is a book aimed at explaining our universe It was written by Steven Hawking, and as the title suggests is a 'briefer' version of the original book. Steven hawking is incredibly famous for his contributions to the world of physics, this was all achieved while constantly battling a motor neurone disease. His first book a brief history of time was incredibly successful but many people found it to be too complex and some key concepts were hard to understand, Thus this version was released. Its aim is to make the difficult scientific theory's more accessible to the general public. The book is an attempt to explain everything we know, or think we know about the universe and cosmology. The first few chapters of the book are aimed at explaining the basics of physics and how it has progressed over time, It goes on to talk about Newton's laws and explain what a scientific theory is. This is a great move by the authors because it helps to explain the complex material by first going through the foundations of physics, this in turn makes the book far more accessible to the public . This is perfect as the book is aimed at ordinary people with an interest in science. The language used in the book is fairly technical but has been simplified to make the book easier to understand, this has been done well because...

...grow and change 3. a nonpaternalistic approach to helping a person gain more self-knowledge, self-control, and self-healing, regardless of the presenting health-illness condition. ASSUMPTIONS deal with human life, nursing science, and the process of nursing. Watson's conception of human life is tied to notions that one's soul possesses a body that is not confined by objective space and time. The lived world of the experiencing person is not distinguished by external and internal notions of time and space, but shapes its own time and space, which is unconstrained by linearity. Nursing is a human science of persons and human health-illness experiences that are mediated by professional, personal, scientific, esthetic, and ethical human care transactions. The process of nursing is human care. THE THEORY OF HUMAN CARING The main concept of the theory is TRANSPERSONAL HUMAN CARING, which is best understood within the concepts of three ancillary concepts: LIFE, ILLNESS, and HEALTH. HUMAN LIFE is defined as spiritual-mental-physical being-in-the-world, which is continuous in time and space. ILLNESS is not necessarily disease. Illness is subjective turmoil or disharmony with a person's inner self or soul at some level or disharmony within the spheres of the person, either consciously or unconsciously. HEALTH refers to...

...The Effect of Time and Temperature on Storage of Fresh Pechay I.Introduction A. Objectives The study is performed to discuss the effect of time and temperature on the storage of fresh pechay. It is also done to explain the difference of low and high temperature on the storage fresh pechay. Lastly, to explain other factors related to time and temperature that may affect the storage. Through conducting this study, the proper storage conditions of food items will be determined. B. Significance of the Study The study aims to show the effect of time and temperature in the storage of fresh pechay. This will determine whether the fresh pechay will react positively or negatively towards the conditions of its storage. This study will be using two set-ups which will be observed three times. One of the set-ups will be placed in a place with room temperature only, around 30º C. The other set-up will be placed inside the refrigerator, about 48º F. The effectivity of the two different set-ups will be indicated by the resulting qualities of the pechay bunches. This will be helpful in determining the proper storage techniques that will maintain the physical and nutritional qualities of food items. This experiment is done in the Bio-assay Laboratory, Institute of Human Nutrition and Food, College of Human Ecology, UPLB. II.Review of Literature Pechay, scientifically known as Brassica rapa chinensis, is considered as one of the popular vegetables here in the Philippines...

...been discussed by a variety of scholarly voices. Among the most prominent is Michel Foucault, who described the various ways that consumer markets circumscribe public spaces, placing important distinctions between class members. In particular, Foucault discusses heterotopia – the public space which carries both physical and psychological gravity. For Foucault, public spaces are characterized by existing without truly existing. The heterotopia serves as a metaphor for a larger context while having the appearance and characteristics of other everyday spaces. Tyndall takes this notion a step further by developing social rules that are attached to consumer places, such as malls and shopping districts (Tyndall, 2009). This version of consumer-driven rules – culled from qualitative research and personal interviews – depicts a new notion of public-ness that is less egalitarian than ever before. It is a version of public space that is not entirely open to the public. Baker adds to this perspective by historicizing the commercialization of public space, dating the use widespread use of public space for advertising purposes to before the dawn of the 20th century (Baker, 2007). This argument inextricably links the notion of “culture” with “consumerism”, and sets the stage for the potential for access to public spaces to be consumed, or purchased. Finally, Klingle underscores this spatial history of consumption, placing the transaction of consumer power contexts as diverse as Thoreau’s...

...In physics and mathematics, the dimension of a space or object is informally defined as the minimum number ofcoordinates needed to specify any point within it.[1][2] Thus a line has a dimension of one because only one coordinate is needed to specify a point on it (for example, the point at 5 on a number line). A surface such as a plane or the surface of acylinder or sphere has a dimension of two because two coordinates are needed to specify a point on it (for example, to locate a point on the surface of a sphere you need both its latitude and its longitude). The inside of a cube, a cylinder or a sphere is three-dimensional because three coordinates are needed to locate a point within these spaces. In physical terms, dimension refers to the constituent structure of all space (cf. volume) and its position in time (perceived as a scalar dimension along the t-axis), as well as the spatial constitution of objects within—structures that correlate with both particle and field conceptions, interact according to relative properties of mass—and are fundamentally mathematical in description. These, or other axes, may be referenced to uniquely identify a point or structure in its attitude and relationship to other objects and occurrences. Physical theories that incorporate time, such as general relativity, are said to work in 4-dimensional "spacetime", (defined as a Minkowski space). Modern theories tend to be "higher-dimensional" including quantum field and string theories. The state-space of quantum mechanics is...

In order to cure is father from his suicidal tendencies, Edgar used imaginary place to cure him. Rhetorical skills, it can be seen on the stage because it’s a bare stage and it was invented by Edgar to fool him. He plays with the fact his father is blind. The main passage is on paradoxes. The madman leads the blind man. Dramatic irony= when you know more than the character -> different from tragic irony= when a character do an action without knowing that it’ll have a tragic consequences.

Space is not static it’s very dynamic it’s following the falling of someone from the edge of a cliff -> vertical traject. Describe in a metonymic way => metonymy= a figure of speech which use a part to describe the whole or the whole to designate the part. It appeals to motion it’s a downward movement, a change of perspective. It anticipates on the movement of the fall and it’s also strategic as Edgar considers it. He states the existence and the impossibility of place at once. He particularly insists on sense of sight and earring. It’s only to empathize their weakening power (deficiency) space is multi-referential...

...theoretically, “all bodies not changing position with respect to a specific observer is stationary in the frame of reference attached with the observer.”(Singhil) Hermann von Helmholtz stated, “A moving body whose motion was not retarded by any resisting force would continue to move to all eternity.”(Brainy) Helmholtz means that every single thing on earth is always constantly moving. What is motion; it is a state which indicates change of position. Motion of a body refers to the time given in a frame of reference. A frame of a reference is a method to describe space from the perception of an observer. In other words, it is a system of measurement for locating positions of the bodies in space with reverence to a viewer. These terms “reference” and “observer” are used to explain and describe motion. A frame of reference is a mathematical construct that specifies the location of a point of an object in space. The frame of reference is a coordinate system. The most common coordinate system is the Cartesian system, it comprises of three perpendicular axes. Observation of motion is considered a human endeavor, but the motion of an object would be considered both human and non-human things, such as clouds, rivers, moon, and mountains. There are also three different types of motions real time motion,...
