WORK TIMER APP COMMISSION ARTIST

The CRA may have published additional guidance and detailed filing instructions
on matters discussed in this Chapter. Similarly, the webpage Non-resident actors
provides information for non-resident individuals who provide film or video
acting services in Canada. Non-resident artists who provide services in Canada
may refer to the webpage titled Simplified Regulation 105 income tax waiver
application for non-resident artist and athletes for information that may be
relevant to them. The reader should, therefore, consider the Chapter’s
information in light of the relevant provisions of the law in force for the
particular tax year being considered. While each paragraph in a chapter of a
folio may relate to provisions of the law in force at the time it was written
(see the Application section), the information provided is not a substitute for
the law. Due to their technical nature, folios are used primarily by tax
specialists and other individuals who have an interest in tax matters. The CRA
issues income tax folios to provide a summary of technical interpretations and
positions regarding certain provisions contained in income tax law. This Chapter
also discusses the tax incentives available to artists and writers who make
certain donations, including the special tax incentive for gifts of works of art
created by visual artists.

The art production grant exemption allows an artist or writer to exclude from
income reasonable expenses incurred to fulfil the conditions of each art
production grant, not exceeding the amount of the grant. An artist or writer may
be entitled to exclude from income up to an additional $500 (commonly known as
the basic scholarship exemption).įor a general discussion of the tax treatment
of amounts that are considered a scholarship, fellowship, bursary, prize, or
research grant, readers are referred to Income Tax Folio S1-F2-C3, Scholarships,
Research Grants and Other Education Assistance. Where an artist or writer
receives an art production grant in circumstances where the grant constitutes
neither business nor employment income, an exemption is permitted in calculating
their income. This Chapter discusses the tax treatment of amounts received by an
artist or writer that are to be used in the production of a literary, dramatic,
musical, or artistic work (referred to in this Chapter as an art production
grant). Other expenses which may be deductible by employees are discussed in
Guide T4044, Employment Expenses.Īn artist or writer may receive amounts that
are neither business nor employment income, that may be required to be included
in income. This Chapter discusses the following permitted deductions: travel,
motor vehicle, musical instrument, and artists' employment expenses, which are
all subject to certain limitations. Also discussed are the valuation of
inventories and deductibility of work space in home expenses.Īn artist or writer
who is an employee is restricted in the type of employment-related expenses that
may be deducted in computing income from employment. Examples of expenses that
are deductible by a self-employed artist or writer are discussed in this
Chapter. Accordingly, such an artist or writer is entitled to deduct reasonable
expenses incurred in connection with earning income from that business, except
to the extent that they are denied, or limited, by a provision of the Income Tax
Act. This distinction is important in determining the expenses that are
deductible in computing income.Īn artist or writer who is self-employed is
generally considered to be operating a business, provided the activity is
undertaken in pursuit of profit and there is objective evidence of business-like
behaviour which supports that intention.

This Chapter includes the criteria used by the Canada Revenue Agency (CRA) to
distinguish artists and writers who are employees from those who are
self-employed. Unless otherwise stated, the word artist in this Chapter refers
to visual artists, and includes painters or sculptors, and performing artists
such as musicians, actors, or other performers. This Chapter discusses the
reporting of income by artists and writers from artistic and literary
endeavours.

XTRAFINDER ALTERNATIVE

You actually have to click a button in the toolbar. For instance, simply hitting
the Space bar in Commander One doesn’t invoke Quick Look like it does in the
Finder. In my opinion, the entire app feels cobbled together and lacking in
polish. Unfortunately, none of the features found in Commander One work as well
as they do in other apps. I gave Commander One a test run for the last two weeks
and compiled my thoughts below. I won’t go into all the features, you can read
about them on the website.

But if you do need it, the concept of having FTP built-in to Finder windows is
certainly enticing.Īlong with it’s marquee FTP feature, Commander One offers the
ability to theme it’s file manager window, access a Processes window (similar to
Apple’s own Activity Monitor), a built-in Terminal, various file sorting
capabilities, integration with Dropbox and more. In fact, other than web
developers, I suspect there are few people who need FTP anymore, or even know
what it is. The need for an FTP Manager today is rather limited. The biggest
feature of Commander One is the built-in FTP file manager. But Commander One
promises to offer Path Finder-level features, plus a built-in FTP manager, at an
affordable price through the Mac App Store-where you have the luxury of
installing it on five Macs at a time. This is nothing new XtraFinder does this
to some extent, and and Path Finder have done these things for years. It simply
recreates Finder windows and adds a multitude of tweaks and features to them.
After looking at the feature list of Commander One, I immediately wondered if it
could possibly deliver on the promises it made.Ĭommander One is what you would
call a Finder Enhancement app. When I decided to take a look at Commander One, I
did so with the expectation that I was going to be looking at something that was
equal to or better than apps I was already familiar with and/or used on a
regular basis-such as XtraFinder, Path Finder, Transmit, etc.

The goal is to reduce motorised traffic and to make it easier for people on foot
or on two wheels to get around safely. ULEZs can be found in major cities around
the world, usually close to areas where more pedestrians, bikers, and scooter
riders are likely to travel. This creates an area with less air pollution than
the surrounding environment, making it beneficial for those who live and work in
the location. The new Google Maps update will notify you if you’re passing
through an Ultra Low Emissions Zone (ULEZ).įor those who are not sure what this
is, a ULEZ is an area where emission standards are set at a lower level to
discourage certain types of vehicles from entering the zone. Google is taking
every measure to ensure that your navigation is as seamless and safe as
possible. Google Maps will notify you if you are passing through an Ultra Low
Emissions Zone (ULEZ) If your destination requires multiple charges along the
way, Google Maps will automatically add charging stations and will include the
charging times along the course.If your destination requires one charge along
the way, Google Maps will prompt you to select a charging station of your choice
along your route.This will continuously update once navigation starts.When you
search for a destination, you’ll receive an estimated battery on arrival.This
feature is just one way Google is making it easier for people to transition into
green vehicles and reduce dependence on traditional ICE cars. The notifications
will let drivers know exactly where they need to stop to keep their cars charged
and on the road. This is a big plus for those who have made the switch to an
electric vehicle and may be worried about finding a place to charge on longer
trips. With their newest update, Google Maps will notify drivers if there are
available electric charging stations along their route. Google is taking a major
step forward in helping to transition the world to electric cars. Get Informed
about Electric Charging Stations Choose your ‘Engine Type’ from the options:
Petrol, Diesel, Electric or Hybrid.Find the ‘Route Options’ menu within the
app.Google has tailored this feature depending on the fuel type of your vehicle,
so you don’t have to worry about making too many manual adjustments.

This is great news for environmentally-minded drivers who want to reduce their
fuel consumption on each journey. In addition to showing you the quickest route
to your destination, Google will also display routes that are more
fuel-efficient for your vehicle than others. With the new updates to Google
Maps, drivers can now get more intuitive and helpful directions with less
hassle. Let’s dive right in! Google Maps will show you fuel-efficient routes
based on your car’s fuel type So whether you’re looking to find a great
restaurant or get directions quickly – this post will provide everything you
need to know about the newest Google Maps update. With the latest version
available on both iOS and Android devices, users can now access personalised
maps while also taking advantage of new features such as route optimisation
dependent on fuel type, notifications on electric charging stations and passing
through Ultra-Low Emission Zones (ULEZ)!

Google will identify very fast charging stations at the touch of a button, see
charging stations in search results and add charging stops into shorter
trips.Are you looking for an easier, more efficient way to keep track of your
favourite places and navigate around unfamiliar locations? You’re in luck –
Google Maps has just released a set of exciting updates that are sure to make
getting around (both near and far) much simpler. Other new tools Google is
bringing to Maps include special features designed for EV users using Google
Built-in - car infotainment systems that include bundled Google services. This
means you'll no longer need to be in navigation mode to see if your next turn is
coming up or what your updated ETA is likely to be. Google is also making it
easier than ever to check that you're still going in the right direction by
bringing Glanceable Directions to route overviews and lock screens. Meanwhile,
Google is expanding Indoor Live View to 1,000 new airports, train stations, and
malls. Search with Live View, the tool that allows you to use to navigate by
holding up your phone and seeing information about surrounding businesses and
landmarks immediately around you, will be available in new European locations in
the coming months, including Barcelona, Madrid and Dublin. The company is also

RARIFY DRAGONS QUICKENING QUESTION MARK

Following the colossal battle against the Empires warriors on the Burning
Plains, Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have narrowly escaped with their lives.
Since then, he's not only learned to create magic with words - he's been
challenged to his very core. It's been only months since Eragon first uttered
"brisingr", an ancient language term for fire. Will the king's dark hand
strangle all resistance? Eragon may not escape with even his life. Meanwhile,
his cousin Roran must fight a new battle–one that might put Eragon in even
graver danger. Before long, Eragon doesn't know whom he can trust.

But chaos and betrayal plague him at every turn, and nothing is what it seems.
Soon he is on the journey of a lifetime, his eyes open to awe-inspring new
places and people, his days filled with fresh adventure. Now Eragon must travel
to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further training in the skills of the
Dragon Rider: magic and swordsmanship. Ages 12+.ĭarkness falls…despair
abounds…evil reigns…Įragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel
state from destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of
the Empire. Now Eragon must travel to Ellesmera, land of the elves, for further
training in the skills of the Dragon Rider. Amid plots and counterplots, tragedy
and betrayal, victory and terror, the fate of the Starks, their allies, and
their enemies hangs perilously in the balance, as each endeavors to win that
deadliest of conflicts: the game of thrones.ĭarkness falls…despair abounds…evil
reigns…Eragon and his dragon, Saphira, have just saved the rebel state from
destruction by the mighty forces of King Galbatorix, cruel ruler of the Empire.
Here an enigmatic band of warriors bear swords of no human metal a tribe of
fierce wildlings carry men off into madness a cruel young dragon prince barters
his sister to win back his throne and a determined woman undertakes the most
treacherous of journeys. Sweeping from a land of brutal cold to a distant
summertime kingdom of epicurean plenty, here is a tale of lords and ladies,
soldiers and sorcerers, assassins and bastards, who come together in a time of
grim omens. At the center of the conflict lie the Starks of Winterfell, a family
as harsh and unyielding as the land they were born to. The cold is returning,
and in the frozen wastes to the north of Winterfell, sinister and supernatural
forces are massing beyond the kingdom’s protective Wall. In a land where summers
can last decades and winters a lifetime, trouble is brewing.

Long ago, in a time forgotten, a preternatural event threw the seasons out of
balance. Martin’s stunning series is destined to stand as one of the great
achievements of imaginative fiction. Magic, mystery, intrigue, romance, and
adventure fill these pages and transport us to a world unlike any we have ever
experienced. As a whole, this series comprises a genuine masterpiece of modern
fantasy, bringing together the best the genre has to offer.

Martin’s magnificent cycle of novels that includes A Clash of Kings and A Storm
of Swords.

SALVADOR DALI ZIVOTOPIS

8/19/2023

Whatever the cause, the pope gave him the death sentence, and Caravaggio fled
Rome to stay alive. The barber surgeon's report for Tomassoni’s death reported
he bled out through the femoral artery in his groin, suggesting Caravaggio had
tried to castrate him, which in turn suggests the fight was over a woman. If a
man insulted a man's woman he would get his penis cut off." “If a man insulted
another man's reputation he might have his face cut. "One of the fascinating
things is the discovery that particular wounds in Roman street fights meant
particular things,” Graham-Dixon told The Telegraph when his documentary came
out. In 2002, a documentary by art historian Andrew Graham-Dixon suggested they
were actually fighting over a female prostitute named Fillide Melandroni
(Caravaggio had sexual relationships with both men and women), and that he
killed Tomassoni while attempting to castrate him. Historians have long
theorized that the men got into a fight over a tennis match. Then, in May 1606,
he killed a man named Ranuccio Tomassoni. By late 1605, his landlady seized his
furniture because he didn’t pay rent for six months, and he apparently wounded
himself by literally falling on his own sword. He also went to prison for
throwing stones at policemen, cursing at an officer and offending a woman and
her daughter. Over the next few years, Caravaggio went to court for throwing a
plate of artichokes in a waiter’s face, carrying a sword and dagger without a
permit and breaking a window shutter in the room he was renting. He won and
Caravaggio spent two weeks in prison.Ĭaravaggio’s "Judith Beheading Holofernes,"
1599 Photo: DeAgostini/Getty Images

Neither Baglione nor “Mao” Salini were impressed with Caravaggio’s prose, so
Baglione took him to court for libel. Here’s an excerpt (translated into
English) about just what Caravaggio thought Baglione and the wife of his friend
Tommaso “Mao” Salini could do with Baglione’s art:īecause he isn’t f*****g her
anymore with his donkey c**k This may sound more like a silly act than a
criminal one to modern ears, but if you look at the poems, they read a bit like
17th-century social media harassment. Delighted by the poor reception of a
Baglione altarpiece, Caravaggio had written a couple of satirical poems about
Baglione’s work and circulated copies of them in the artists’ quarter. In 1603,
Baglione took Caravaggio to court for libel. At least two of these incidents
took place around 2:00 or 3:00 a.m.Īround that time, he also developed a
turbulent relationship with Giovanni Baglione, a rival painter who once accused
Caravaggio of hiring assassins to kill him.

Between 15, he was arrested for carrying a sword without a permit, sued for
beating a man with a stick and accused of attacking another man with a sword. As
his profile grew over the next several years, he became notorious for his
drinking, gambling, sword-carrying and brawling. After losing both of his
parents to the plague when he was a child, he moved to Rome and started selling
his own paintings around 1595. He eventually fled Rome to escape punishment for
killing a man and died in exile under mysterious circumstances.Ĭaravaggio was
born as Michelangelo Merisi in Italy in 1571. In the early 17th century,
Caravaggio went to trial at least 11 times for things like writing libelous
poems, throwing a plate of artichokes at a waiter and assaulting people with
swords. Portal:Likovna umjetnost/Izabrana biografija/2007.The Baroque artist

MINI PORTABLE BLACK LIGHT

8/19/2023

0 Comments

 

It’s such a frustrating design that its absence or presence became a simple
pass/fail test for us. It’s blinding, it’s annoying, and after it happens two or
three times, you’ll want to throw the flashlight deep, deep into the woods. This
means that if you start at the high setting, go to any other setting, and then
need to get back to high, within that cycle you need to pass through the strobe
setting. Wise said, “If you have to cycle through them all the time, then they
get really annoying.” In most of the lights we tested (and nearly all of the
inexpensive models), the strobe is positioned as just another brightness
setting, so the light toggle goes: high, medium, low, strobe. Unlike a
reflector, a zoom design can’t produce both the concentrated hot spot and the
spill beam at the same time.Ī strobe setting is a great feature to have-useful
during roadside emergencies, when you’re running at night, or even for
self-defense purposes-but it’s not something you should have to deal with during
normal use. These lenses usually slide forward and back, giving you the option
of a small, focused spotlight (the forward position) or a wider, diffused area
light (the back position). The zoom design, in contrast, consists of a lens
situated in front of the LED that concentrates the light the way a magnifying
glass concentrates a sunbeam. Reflectors produce both a center hot spot of
concentrated light and a lesser wide-diameter light around it (called the spill
beam). It’s a shiny metal cone positioned around the LED emitter, often with an
orange-peel texture that evens out the spread of the beam. Generally speaking, a
reflector gives you a better view of what you want to see. This component
dictates the light’s beam pattern-basically, how the light looks as it projects
from the flashlight-and we prefer reflectors over zoom lenses.

Most flashlights have either a reflector or a zoom lens. This latest version of
the TC15, the V3 model, has an improved pocket clip and replaces the original
TC15 as our also-great pick. Rechargeable lights are great and offer a lot of
convenience, but for the above reasons, we still prefer AA-battery-powered
flashlights for our main recommendation. Also, if the battery drains during a
power outage, you can’t use the light anymore unless you have an independent
power source to recharge (or additional 18650 batteries). First, once the
battery is drained, it takes time to fully charge again (in this case roughly
three hours), so bringing a rechargeable flashlight back to life isn’t as quick
as simply swapping out AA batteries. The downsides of the TC15 V3 are universal
across rechargeable flashlights. The TC15 V3 typically costs between $50 and
$60, at the lower end of rechargeable lights. The included USB charging cord
plugs directly into the flashlight, unlike on the majority of rechargeable
flashlights, where you have to remove the 18650 battery for charging. It has a
one-button interface that allows for instant access to both the brightest and
dimmest settings. The TC15 V3 is just barely bigger than the Archer 2A V3, but
at the high setting it’s twice as bright with a similar run time. We have also
looked at rechargeable flashlights, and not surprisingly, the ThruNite TC15 V3
USB rechargeable flashlight hits the same balance as the Archer 2A V3, offering
high-end features at an entry-level price. Its two-AA-powered beam pattern
produces such good overall visibility that, even after trying all the other
lights, we reached for this flashlight first when we headed into the woods. The
Archer 2A V3 also boasts a number of other features found on more-expensive
lights: It doesn’t roll on a flat surface, it stands upright on its rear end, it
can survive a 1-meter drop or full immersion in water-try that, smartphones-and
it has a memory function as well as a momentary-on feature that turns the light
on and off with a half-press of the rear button. The blinding strobe mode is
useful in an emergency-but the Archer 2A V3’s design makes it easy to avoid
activating the strobe during regular use, an advantage over most competitors.
Like many of the best flashlights, this light has a two-button interface that
lets you easily toggle through the brightness levels one-handed. The ThruNite
Archer 2A V3 has the widest range of brightness settings of any
AA-battery-powered light we tested, including a very dim mode that allowed us to
read a map (without destroying our night vision) and a bright setting that
illuminated trees 500 feet away.
