## Rudd to offer generous concessions to bank accounts for savers

MUM and dad investors will receive generous concessions to park their savings with banks and building societies as part of sweeping tax reforms.

The Rudd Government is preparing to unveil a new savings scheme offering tax breaks similar to superannuation’s discount rate of 15 per cent, _The Daily Telegraph_ reports.

It will encourage investors to deposit savings with the four major banks and other respected financial institutions.

But investors will have to “lock up” their savings — perhaps for between five and 10 years — to qualify for the special rate.

The new savings deal will be announced as part of the Government’s much-anticipated response to the Henry tax review.

It will be part of a suite of measures aimed at building a new savings culture in Australia.

But it is also hoped it will generate billions of dollars in bank deposits, cutting the need for finance houses to borrow from overseas.

The Government expects it will be popular with voters who currently face punishing tax rates on savings. Some taxpayers can pay up to 50 per cent on interest earned from their bank deposits.

Australia is one of the few countries in the world to tax bank savings at the full rate.

Among key reforms, taxpayers will be able to lodge their annual tax returns with a few clicks of a mouse.

And Australia’s antiquated tax system — containing 125 different taxes — will be streamlined to simplify arrangements.

It is understood the Reserve Bank and other financial authorities have raised concerns about the steady decline in deposits.

Bank CEOs have been lobbying Canberra for changes to taxation on ordinary bank deposits, claiming the superannuation industry gets a huge advantage.

And they have a strong ally in Treasury boss Dr Ken Henry, who has also raised concerns over the punitive rates faced by those who save with banks.

# Thanksgiving Pie

I myself am not a big fan of pumpkin pie, but I know many who are, so I thought it would be fun to check out the “old-school” way of the pie. Do you buy your pie? Really? Come on and try making it this year! Your loved ones will be so glad you did.

A friend was kind enough to describe the taste of this pie. It was creamier than a store bought pie, almost custard like. He also said that it was spicier. Not too spicy, but it had a lot of flavor. He said that it should be called something other than pumpkin pie since it was so different than what he was used to. Bottom line: he liked it.

I am also including the pie crust recipe. It was fairly easy and rolled out very nicely. If you want to cheat with a store bought crust, go ahead. I won’t tell!

## Plain Pie Pastry Dough

Ingredients:

  * 2 c. flour
  * 1/2 t. salt
  * 1/3 c. butter, cold
  * 1/3 c. lard (I did use this!)
  * Ice water (about 1/3 c.)



Directions:

  1. Mix salt with the flour. Work in butter and lard (I used a food processor), until it is mixed into bits no larger than a pea.
  2. Stir in enough water with a fork (or your processor) to make the dough come together.
  3. The best rule of thumb is to start with half of the water and give a good mixing before adding more water.
  4. Divide into 2 balls, wrap in plastic wrap and chill.



## Retro Pumpkin Pie

Ingredients:

  * 3 c. pumpkin (a large can 1 lb 13 oz will do!)
  * 1 c. brown sugar
  * 1 c. sugar
  * 2 T. molasses
  * 1/4 t. powdered cloves
  * 3 t. cinnamon
  * 3 t. ginger
  * 1 t. salt
  * 4 eggs, slightly beaten
  * 2 cups warmed milk (or part cream, I used just milk)



Directions:

  1. Mix all ingredients in order given. This filling is very runny. Don’t be alarmed! Pour into unbaked pie shell and bake.



Baking directions:

  1. Set pie in the bottom of a 450 degree oven for 10 minutes.
  2. Then reduce heat, move the pie to the middle shelf and bake at 350 for 40-50 more minutes.
  3. The pie will still jiggle, but will not look dark in the center.



Test with a knife. If it comes out clean, you can take it out.

|  Tortoises are land-dwelling reptiles of the order of turtles (Testudines) and are shielded from predators by a shell. The top part of the shell is the carapace, the underside is the plastron, and the two are connected by the bridge. The tortoise has both an endoskeleton and an exoskeleton. Tortoises can vary in size from a few centimeters to two meters. Tortoises are usually diurnal animals with tendencies to be crepuscular depending on the ambient temperatures. They are generally reclusive animals.  
  
Most land based tortoises are herbivores, feeding on grazing grasses, weeds, leafy greens, flowers, and some fruits although there are some omnivorous species in this family. Certain species consume worms or insects and carrion in their normal habitat.   
  
Here you may post messages or questions pertaining to all aspects and issues regarding the keeping, breeding, health, and conservation of species and subspecies of Tortoises.

## Longtime NW Indiana leader to become vice president at California Lutheran University

Regina Biddings-Muro announces graduates during Purdue Northwest’s spring 2018 Commencement Ceremony.

Regina Biddings-Muro, Ed.D., a 14-year administrator at Purdue University Northwest (PNW) and longtime regional leader, has been appointed vice president of University Advancement at California Lutheran University in Thousand Oaks, Calif.

“This is an outstanding opportunity for Regina to continue to advance her progressively successful career in higher education,” said Purdue Northwest Chancellor Thomas L. Keon. “Regina has proven herself to be the master of many skills and successes. This has made her a much sought after leader by many institutions. She has found the right fit to continue her career journey, and for that we should be pleased for her. As for PNW – as well as the Region – we truly have lost a gem.”

Biddings-Muro’s contributions to PNW will have a lasting impact. She has been vice chancellor of Institutional Advancement since 2012, after serving as chief of staff from 2004-2011. Under her leadership PNW has increased fundraising each year, and has had its strongest annual fundraising performance in the history of either campus during the current academic year.

Biddings-Muro’s higher education experience includes leadership of Alumni Affairs, Marketing and Communications, and Strategic University Events. She also has experience in corporate relations, legislative affairs and community engagement. In addition, she has a wealth of professional experience beyond higher education, including the natural gas and electric utility industry, steel manufacturing and commercial broadcasting.

Biddings-Muro, an East Chicago native and lifelong Northwest Indiana resident, earned bachelor’s and master’s degrees in communications from Purdue Northwest. She went on to earn a doctorate of Education in higher education and organizational change from Benedictine University.

Biddings-Muro’s extensive involvement and commitment to the Northwest Indiana community over the years includes service on the boards of Sojourner Truth House, Edgewater Health and Theatre at the Center, among many other organizations working to improve the quality of life, inclusivity, mentoring and opportunities for women and minorities in the region. She also serves as a lector and active member at SS Monica and Luke Catholic Church in Gary.

Keon noted that Biddings-Muro will be departing PNW by the end of June, and starting her new role Aug. 1.

We're very sorry but we do not have the time to answer such queries any longer.

Please **do not write to us** about _Prorocentrum compressum_ (J.W.Bailey) Abé ex J.D.Dodge, supposedly a dinoflagellate, being a taxonomic synonym of _Tryblionella compressa_ (J.W.Bailey) Poulin, supposedly a diatom. It is indeed an unusual case, but there was a difference of opinion as to the identity of the basionym _Pyxidicula compressa_ J.W.Bailey, some authors treating it as a diatom and other as a dinoflagellate; the consensus now is that it is a diatom.

Please **do not write to us** about the change of spelling of _Zostera noltii_ to _Zostera noltei_. The orthography "Noltii" was originally used by Hornemann to honour Ernst Ferdinand Nolte (1791-1875). Under the current International Code of Nomenclature the genitive singular honorific for a name ending in "e" is to add an "i" and not to delete the "e" and to add "ii". There is no point in writing to me to complain about this. All four higher plant names honouring Nolte are currently spelled "noltei".

# Parent Portal offers online access to grades, assignments

  


amoss@civitasmedia.com

  


Parents now can have easier access to their child’s academic progress and performance.

  


The new PowerSchool Parent Portal tool went into effect on Tuesday. The system was a mandatory statewide update. It replaced the public school’s former student information system, NC WISE, around August 2013. The portal was an optional tool that the local school district agreed to on Feb. 1 of this year.

  


The portal, which replaces and upgrades the old Parent Assistant program, offers parents access to grades, attendance records, transcripts, teacher comments, calendars and schedules.

  


“It’s almost like a weekly progress report,” said L.J. Bell Elementary School Principal Yvonne Gilmer. “It really opens clearer lines of communication.

  


Hal Shuler, principal at Rohanen Middle School in East Rockingham, said that the only real difference between the portal and the previous system is the access to student grades, but it is a change of which some parents have already taken advantage.

  


“We’ve already had a couple of parents come by to sign up,” Shuler said.

  


Parents are required to visit their child’s school to obtain a school access identification number and password for the website. In order to obtain that information, the parent must have a valid photo identification card and then they will be handed a letter with an auto-generated username and password.

  


“We’ve been handing out some of the letters today, but we would still like to have many more come to access this information,” Gilmer said. “We have access here so parents can register on our computers, that way we can help families that may not have computers at home. The key is the parents have to come to the school to get the letter which is at the school in a secured file.”

  


Once parents have access to this information, they are encouraged to visit https://richmond.powerschool.com to complete the online registration process.

  


Early on, it seems to be a hit with parents, some of whom didn’t know about it until announced on The Daily Journal’s Facebook page.

  


“Will be getting my log-in (Wednesday),” posted Ashley S. Hogan. “I’ve talked with my oldest daughter’s principal and I believe this is an awesome idea! We stay on top of our children’s school work and grades and this will be very beneficial to the parents that do so!”

  


Amy Maples Terry agreed.

  


“Got it, like it,” she wrote. “I think my daughter will also. Those little slips of paper do not always make it home.”

  


Ellerbe Middle School Principal Melvin Ingram agrees that the new program will be a step in the right direction for parents, students and teachers.

  


“PowerSchool is definitely moving us towards more clarity with parents,” Ingram said. “I definitely think it will be a good program. We still want to see parents and have that one-on-one time with them, but this is just another way to stay connected.”

  


A direct link to the portal can be found on the district website at www.richmond.k12.nc.us. For any questions, parents are encouraged to contact the child’s school.

John Travolta blames broken elevator and Goldie Hawn for Idina Menzel mix-up

A broken elevator and Goldie Hawn were to blame for John Travolta's embarrassing 2014 Oscar night slip-up, because his assistant got stuck and couldn't ask anyone to cue the star for his presenting duties.

Flustered Travolta became the butt of every joke after the Academy Awards when he messed up Idina Menzel's name and called her Adele Dazeem during last year's live telecast, but he now explains he wasn't given enough time to prepare for his moment onstage.

  
Appearing on this year's (15) post-Oscars Jimmy Kimmel Live! TV special in the U.S., the Grease star said, "I was expected backstage and it was getting very close to the time I was supposed to go on and suddenly a page... grabbed me out of my seat and said, 'You're on in a minute and 15 seconds...'

  
"Later I found out that my actual page got stuck in an elevator and couldn't communicate to anybody, so then the back-up page came and rushed to get me. As I get backstage I run into Goldie Hawn... and I was starstruck. I'm hugging and loving her up and forgetting that I have to go and do this bit. They say, 'You're on... and by the way we've changed Idina's name to a phonetic spelling'.

  
"I get to her thing and I thought, 'What?' In my minds I was like, 'What does that mean?...' I didn't rehearse it that way."

  
Travolta appeared alongside Menzel at this year's Oscars, where the two stars poked fun at his slip-up before presenting an award.

  
The actor told Kimmel, "Idina agrees she's had, like, one of the best years of her life and career, and she gives me credit."

The Royal Mace of Iran is a jewel-encrusted ceremonial mace, a part of the Iranian Crown Jewels. It was a favorite of Fat′h-Ali Shah Qajar, who is often shown holding it in his miniature portraits.

The mace is encrusted with spinels and diamonds, from end to end. It is 73 cm (2.4 ft) long. The largest diamond weighs 17 carats (3.4 g), and is located on the very top of the mace. The largest spinels are the six surrounding the top of the mace, each weighing 40 carats (8 g).
