在加拿大，政府提供一系列的方式方法给个人去合理避税或延税。（康泰月子中心为您科普）
所谓避税，就是通过合法的途径降低缴纳所得税款。而延税，即是将原本现阶段需要缴纳的税款延至将来某个时期，比如退休以后，从而有效降低当前的应税负担。
在加拿大生活的人，都会接触诸如TFSA(免税存储账户)、RRSP(注册退休存储计划)和RESP(注册教育存储计划)等等。或许和当地人喜欢花未来钱的消费观念有关，过多依赖贷款过日子，政府在前些年出台了一系列存储计划，意在鼓励个人多存点钱，为未来着想。
这些计划怎么实施 怎么引导个人参与 一是相对高息，更重要的是能起到免税或者延税的作用。这些计划都针对个人，夫妻双方如果有一方没有收入，或者收入差距特别大时，可以由收入高的一方给另一方存款，从而降低整个家庭的应税收入。因此，合理地将钱投入到不同的存储计划里，就有机会使家庭的应税率降低一个档次，无形中将为整个家庭减轻好几个百分点的税金支出。在华人圈子里，这很有吸引力，有不少人为客户当理财顾问，通过选择不同的存储计划、保险及基金等产品来避税或延税，为这个行业增加了不少就业机会。
此外，诸如买新房或装修房子的税收抵免、长者的房产物业税资助、政治捐款税收抵免等等，对我是太新鲜了。
在加拿大，取之于民惠之于民，是看得见摸得着的。无论对国家还是个人而言，大家讲求的都应是合理的付出赢得合理的回报，只要双方都共同遵守这个原则，这将是一个共赢的结果。

The killing was intimate–strangulation–and the evidence suggests that the murder, like many, was personal. But then any crime, in this quiet, tight-knit (but also claustrophobic) little town is inevitably going to be personal: all corners of the community are going to be touched by grief, by anger, and eventually by suspicion.

"Now you can see how NPV could make people aggressive. No longer do you need to maintain a relationship with a client over many years. Sell them one product and bang you're there. Compare again to private banking. I've got a client and every year this client decides to stay with my bank, we pocket a 1% management fee. See how that breeds a different culture? Compliance is also hugely different. In private banking, clients are assumed to be 'unsophisticated' so you have to inform them abundantly well about risks or they can sue. Compliance is very strict. In 'institutional' the clients are by definition professionals and supposed to be 'sophisticated'. There are far fewer rules protecting them. It's caveat emptor â buyer beware. They are supposed to know what they're doing. Some of them aren't, obviously. I could tell you stories about the German Landesbanken â¦

I think that the very right wing – cut all government spending, don't invest in infrastructure, anything the government does is bad – wave is starting to run its course. I think that once manufacturing firms are moving into the Midwest and so forth, they will start to put pressure on fixing the internal waterways, for instance. And there's ways to do it, so it's not just federal dollars. There are good ideas for infrastructure banks, public-private partnerships. But we really have to get all this transportation up to snuff. I'm assuming that a future Congress, either after 2014 or 2016, will be willing to fund those things.

It’s a brilliant setup, with the game then charting Jodie’s life between the ages of 8 and 23. But not in chronological order, jumping between time periods as she spends time under government experimentation, as a rising star in the CIA and on the run from the law. The temporal disorder makes sense in theory; the trajectory of Jodie’s life means that events unfolding concurrently would lead to a pacing issue. However, in practice the narrative jumps around so violently and frequently between time periods that the story struggles to gain a foothold. It lacks a singular narrative thread to tie the scenes together, leading to a disparate collection of vignettes. Top secret government labs, CIA training montages, teenage parties, homelessness, snowball fights, makeshift midwifery (with the most staggeringly unrealistic depiction of birth I’ve ever seen), spiritual war in the Navajo desert, civil war in Somalia.

There's an old saying that a man who marries his mistress creates a vacancy… so, too, does the man who has his mistress bumped off in order to save his own skin, or for revenge.

Burgers are essential to any barbecue. If you went a little patty-happy, though, and are left with perfectly seasoned, uncooked burger slabs, your hard work was not in vain. A simple change of shape and the addition of a few Mexican-styled spices, and you have yourself the perfect taco filling. And if you had the misfortune of cooking extra patties, break them up and add them to a cheesy pasta to create a carnivorous macaroni and cheese.

Seriously, voters generally don't like old retreads. Hillary and Biden will be a combined 143 years old.

We were going to help get thousands of people into work as retro-fitters – people who went around helping to insulate homes.

Reich notes that the disparity between the highest and the lowest in economic terms is the starkest in the Western world. He meets with people from all classes and incomes to discuss how inequality is interconnected with democracy. The facts â not a secret â are horrifying, including how 42% of children born into poverty will never climb out. The wonkiness is at a minimum and Reich delivers it with tales from his own life, since heâs the son of a dress store owner and a mom who helped in the shop. Essential viewing, no matter how you cut it.

Unlike the protests against GM crops, these groups are not enthusiastically backed by big organisations like Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth. They rely on private donations and are less tightly-knit than earlier protest groups. Their tactics owe more to Occupy London or to anti-austerity groups such as UK Uncut. They are quick at setting up camp sites equipped with kitchens and libraries. It is less certain how effective these groups are at sustaining a protest, particularly one which may require trekking to rural parts of the country to gain support. (Balcombe, less than an hour away from London, is unusually convenient.) With a high turnover of young protesters they can burn out easily, suggests Christopher Rootes of the University of Kent, another green-watcher.

You will very easily perceive what a wide door this would open for fraud and corruption and favoritism, on the one hand, and for robbing the people on the other." - Col. Davy Crockett

Proud nations; like Iran or alike, can not be subjugated long to please others. "Boot on the neck" policy was the cause of hatred, armed conflicts, and instability in the region. Advocates of this doctrine can not rule out position reversal when they feel other's "boots on their necks". Peace is the best civilized way of survival, though not easily reached, yet it can be achieved by persistence and perseverance. IAEA should be trusted to monitor and dismantle any military nuclear program in Iran and Israel too. World powers must also cut and/or scale their nuclear arms. It is time the world shifts of weapons to kill to equipments to build.

Although I have respect for only a very few politicians per se, a striking thing for me that has come out of this dire situation is that one man should have been made prime minister in my mind and that is a certain David Davis. The reason why I say this is that he is not just a highly intelligent person but possesses that elusive and importantly lacking commodity in politics today of pure old common-sense. Most politicians based upon historical facts have not this vital asset and the reason why they get things so horribly wrong time and time again. Mr. Davisâs stance on Syria is just a single pointer to his credentials as Prime Minister Stock and where he thinks like the normal man or women in the streets â that typical individual described in common law who rides the Clapham Omnibus. Therefore he has his feet firmly on the ground, not just because of his convictions towards Syria, but down to the majority of things that I have read and heard from Mr. Davis over the last decade. Indeed his background and upbringing from a council house and his parentâs relative living standards of a working-class family environment (even living in a âslumâ in Wandsworth, London before securing a council house) have in my mind prepared him to be possibly one of the greatest Prime Ministers that this country could ever have if he was allowed to be so. Unfortunately in this respect the elitist mindset of the conservatives where one can see this clearly with the current voted-in incumbents, will in the end in my humble opinion be the road to oblivion for the Conservative Party. For Cameron even if he is re-elected come 2015, will only last for no more than two years as leader of the Conservative Party and Prime Minister. Therefore if common-sense prevails and if the British people wish to see a prime minister that is truly for the people they need not look any further than David Davis. Indeed in this respect also if the Conservative Party have any acumen at all and thoughts for their Partyâs successful future that is inextricably intertwined with their own long-term good, they should look no further either to appoint a working-class boy who knows what life is all about and will deliver the goods. An achievement that has been missing for two decades now and where it is time that this changed for the British people and their families.

Lehnert is clear that that there is, undoubtedly, some subtlety when it comes to a demonstration of entanglement itself. "Evidence of entanglement comes from asking how well we can anticipate the measurement of the third pulse, based on our measurement of the second.

Throughout the weekend in Charlotte, there was as much talk about Talladega as there was the track at hand. Kenseth and Johnson realize that NASCAR's most unpredictable superspeedway might be a chance to finally break up their two-car tandem.

U.S. Forest Service policy regarding the spotted owl is among the many government policies that are making many Americans lose trust in government. In the first instance, the shutting down of many forest jobs in states like Oregon in order not to bother the spotted owl seemed huge overkill. Now, the barred owl has become a predator of the weaker spotted owl.
Coincidentally, Sutter's Mill is also the gold discovery site that led to the 1849 California Gold Rush. Detection of the falling meteor by Doppler weather radar allowed for rapid recovery so that scientists could study for the first time a primitive meteorite with little exposure to the elements, providing the most pristine look yet at the surface of primitive asteroids.
Years ago they used to nest in the wood, until I stupidly shot up their nest with my air rifle. I had seen them flying to it with naked nestlings hanging from their beaks and thought it my job to protect my songbirds. I know now that the songless are as important as the songful, but it was a hard lesson to learn. To see blue tits trying vainly to defend their young against crows, rooks and magpies is upsetting to be sure, but on Planet Earth as at present organised the vast majority of creatures born never make it to maturity. Like human sperm, they come to life in their millions only to be extinguished.
They also want Apple to use an outside monitor to ensure that its internal antitrust compliance policies are strong enough to catch illegal conduct before consumers are harmed. The proposed changes require Cote's approval.

"I think the dollar's reaction to the shutdown news wasn'tbigger because it's still the middle of the night in America, sothere was no immediate impact. We still need to watchdevelopments from now," said Masashi Murata, senior currencystrategist at Brown Brothers Harriman in Tokyo.
Rumours of the watch's development come amid investor concerns that Apple is no longer producing ground-breaking products such as the iPod, iPhone or iPad, since the death of co-founder Steve Jobs.

Not totally clear but it would seem that he is ignorant as there won't be any cuts to welfare to anybody. The shutdown will cost tax payers about 150 million dollars a day. There are lots of uneducated and uninformed people who think this is a game because there won't be an obvious cost to them for a while. The scary thing is that republicans have been talking about shutting down the government for at least a year and they seem to be happy about it. Many economists say that if they cause a default in a couple of weeks, the damage to the economy could be worse than the Bush economic meltdown in 2008. Not very many republican have any understanding of the economy.

A: In some ways, I thought it was going to be a project abit like my 2007 project, "The Double Bind," which is about asocial worker who believes she's found Daisy Buchanan and JayGatsby's bastard son... But the book took one of thosesurprising lefthand turns, and it evolved well beyond "Romeo andJuliet". It's still a love story. I love big, sweeping, epiclove stories, especially love stories set in the midst of war,but it grew beyond that. It's not simply the love story ofCristina and Friedrich. The characters that I think about mostare actually parallel women - both 19 in 1944, and then somewhatolder in 1955. Those two women are Cristina Rosati, my Tuscannobleman's daughter, and Serafina, my partisan, who is bothemotionally and physically scarred by the war... Their pathswill cross again in 1955 when Serafina is investigating themurders of the Risati women in Florence.
As a sci-fi action flick, "Elysium" passes muster, following the standard script of a reluctant hero, a helpful love interest and the downfalls of technological advancement. The aesthetic of Blomkamp's earthly despair is as gray and grimy as ever, creating a future that looks utterly third world. In contrast, Elysium, is comically shiny and perfect, with inhabitants who speak French, sip champagne and listen to Bach on repeat.

He is the second prominent activist to target Apple this year. The company averted a dispute with hedge fund manager David Einhorn of Greenlight Capital, who sued Apple to try to block a proposal regarding voting on preferred shares. Einhorn later withdrew his lawsuit.
I just don’t understand how asking for a voter to prove he is a citizen is discriminatory???? You are legally required to be a citizen, and to reside in your voting district to vote, and voting by a non-citizen or non-resident is a crime. So how can it be unlawful to ask to show evidence you legally reside in the voting area?? It is common sense that if you can simply make up any name, and vote, people will vote in more than one district, and non-citizens will vote. Duh! How is this even debatable??

The first unequivocal evidence of a crisis came in a 1991 paper by an Australian biologist, Nigel Brothers, who examined by-catch of shy albatross (Thalassarche cauta) in a Japanese fishery off Tasmania: around 39,000 albatross were being killed annually. Data from many other albatross breeding grounds supported a picture of worldwide losses. Some species had declined by 90 per cent in 60 years. Eighteen of 22 albatross species are now considered at some risk of extinction. The figure for losses to longlining and other anthropogenic causes much used in media reportage is 100,000 dead birds annually. Coleridge’s symbol for the unity of all life is now facing oblivion worldwide, while the campaign to save albatrosses is one of the highest-profile conservation stories of our age.

At its best, Top 40 has the power to unite, and give a home to audio nomads. The formatâs obsession with hits â whether they be from the worlds of soul, rock, rap, R&B or dance â erases genre boundaries, at least the major ones. Thatâs the real excitement behind the stationâs annual Jingle Ball. Itâs the modern answer to "The T.A.M.I.

The world's biggest maker of smart phones just got a lot bigger: Samsung announced this week that it expects to post a record operating profit of $9.2 billion to $9.5 billion for the third quarter, a huge increase over the $7.5 billion it posted in the same quarter a year earlier.
