[tagmarketingchicago]

DISABLED ACCESS CREDIT: USE $5,000/YEAR TOWARDS YOUR MARKETING

Disabled Access Credit is a tax credit that’s provided to small businesses in order to promote web accessibility and disabled access compliance with the ADA, short for the American Disability Act.

The tax credit covers 50% of the eligible expenses (maximum of $10,250) necessary for a business to make its facilities, websites, digital marketing, products, and services accessible to individuals with disabilities.

The Disabled Access Tax Credit can help cut down on the expensive costs of accessibility, making it more affordable for businesses to achieve ADA compliance.

This allows companies to open up their services and products to a broader audience, promoting an inclusive environment for everyone.

To be eligible, companies must have gross revenues of less than $1,000,000 in the tax year -OR- 30 or fewer full-time employees during the year.

Hi Noot! Coffee Shop AU your OCs

Jinx saw this first and proceeded to go into universal debt by purchasing an alternate timeline to make this happen.

I have been working on this all day/night 💀. You have no idea what you’re in for, I think about this all the time and it’s so thought out because I used to work at a coffee shop/cafe.

Anyways Coffee shop AU of (most) my OCS!!! Jinx picked an AWFUL color scheme

“ Miss Fortunes Cafe “

Jinx “runs” the cafe, and what I mean by that is she takes all the credit, most the money, owns the place, is the face of it and pawns everything else off on her subordinates.

King Benjamin is the assistant manager, always staying late to make sure everything is in order, he takes care of taxes, health inspection check list, ordering supplies and basically everything Jinx SHOULD be doing.

Commander Aurelius is Jinxes Night shift leader, he’s in charge of watching and taking responsibility for everybody on evening/night shift from 12:30pm until the store closes at 7pm. He is a perfectionist and can’t stand the people Jinx hired for his shift as they make his job extremely difficult.

Head Scientist Maeve is Jinxes Day shift leader, she’s in charge of watching and taking responsibility for everybody on morning/noon shift, she is there for opening at 7am to 12:30pm. Her shift is laid back and simple, leaving a lot of time and room for her to do other things besides monitor and over see employees work, such as mixing different coffee flavors like it’s going out of style. She is the main reason the store must be constantly resupplied.

Sous Chef Ada is one of the pastry chefs, in charge of the pastry station in the back, making sure to make enough pastries for the next day and baking all the pastries for the current day, she’s always at work around 6am to start baking. Ada views safety precautions like oven mitts as an option and not a requirement, often leading her into trouble or injury.

Palace landscaper Florence is also one of the pastry chefs, he arrives at 6am to help Ada with prepping and baking pastries at the pastry station. He is extremely cautious and nervous, always having to be there to monitor Ada and reminding her of safety rules. Often times he gets injured trying to prevent Ada from being injured.

Dysphoria Vespertine is the stores supply delivery driver, whenever she gets an order for resupplying the store, she collects stock from a warehouse and takes it to the cafe, depending on when the order is submitted she will arrive either in the morning or the afternoon.

Palace musician Clef is one of the night shift barista’s. He shows up around 12:30-1pm and works until close at 7pm. Despite being mostly drunk he’s the most efficient worker on the night shift.

Apollo Morelli is the night shifts cashier. He often shows up late to work, meaning others fill in for him until he decides to show or call in. He’s always trying to sell more to customers and doesn’t really care about his Job. He does the bare minimum to keep his Job and is only there to talk to Jinx, he also wants to best his brother Omen, claiming he can do anything better than him, like being a cashier at a cafe for some reason.

Gate keeper Ebony is one of the night shifts other barista, however he lacks the ability to see what he is doing, meaning he is practically useless since most of the time he is knocking things over or bumping into others. Jinx has, for some reason kept him around and refuses to listen to Aurelius’ begging to get someone who isn’t blind and can actually work. Ebony is usually sitting in the lobby with his friend Ivory around 11:am until they have to clock in for work at 12:30pm.

Gate Keeper Ivory is also one of the night shifts baristas. He, just like his friend Ebony, has lost one of his vital senses. Ivory cannot hear, which hinders his ability but he is still able to work efficiently on ticketed orders. His friend ebony helps him with communicating. When Ivory needs to hear something, ebony is signing to him and in response Ivory communicates back through the Morse code. The greatest disabled duo.

Oliver Vespertine is one of the day shifts barista’s. He is always there early around 5:30am for prep and opening and often gets things done quickly and efficiently. He mostly keeps to himself but is very talkative with customers or his wife, Dysphoria when she brings in supplies in the mornings. Sometimes he will stay later in the day to help night shift if Aurelius requests him to do so.

Casino Owner, Omen Morelli is the day shifts cashier. He’s usually clocking in on time for opening at 6am. Omen, despite being a gambler is very good with money and is efficient at the register, whenever their systems are down he is able to cash people out without the use of a register.

Harumi is also one of the day shifts baristas. She is constantly thinking of different ways jinx could better her establishment or herself and is constantly back and forth with her. She is always early, usually hanging out with Oliver at 5:30am as they prep for the day. Outside of always arguing with other employees she is quite good at her job.

Siamése is the other day shift barista. He usually clocks in later in the day around 8am. He is extremely skittish and overwhelmed by loud noises, busy areas or arguments. His friend Harumi is the reason he has this job, but often times he regrets it from how much stress it puts on him. He is often jumping at the slightest of sounds or dumping things

100: Fierce Creatures (1997): As the one and only Jesus Christ himself once said 'it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of A needle than for a rich person to enter the Kingdom of God!' and what this 1997 comedic romp presupposes is . . . . he was right.

Bringing back all your favourites from A Fish Called Wanda and adding my favourite Assistant DA from Law and Order, Fierce Creatures is a movie that you just couldn't make anymore, manly because lead actor/writer John Cleese is very busy doing publicly funded documentaries about how you just can't say anything anymore! in the country he's from but doesn't pay taxes in and so he's too darn busy to make a movie that actually DOES confront the mechanisms of power and in my (surely charitable reading of a mostly silly movie) presents the fact that for the workers to receive what is rightfully theirs the mega-rich man (pig) they hand their labour to for pennies, must die. A quick rundown of the plot is as follows, Rod McCain played by Kevin Kline is Rupert Murdoch even while being in the film an adversary of Murdoch. His company Octopus Inc goes around the world buying businesses, mining them for any capital and then selling them for the next new business ready to be shelled for profit. He ends up acquiring a small Zoo in England sends Rollo Lee (John Cleese) to run the ship all while raising profits to the needed amounts for Octopus Inc. Cleese is almost immediately usurped by Jamie Lee Curtis as a former Executive whose original job was erased in a deal just as she signed her contract. 'Don't worry we'll find you a job, there';s always jobs' Rod assures her while ignoring his son Vince McCain, also played by Kline Once all the players are in place we watch as the workers eventually realize they control the means of production, the manager class either gain class consciousness or accept it in order to secure their own means, and in the end everyone is happy or dead. Of course my reading is maybe a little more didactic than the filmmakers, especially considering the final third of the movie is entirely re-written/reshot thus needing two director credits. But it's all there on the screen, it's not MY fault no one else gets it This movie is the first of a running sub-list of movies that I watched multiple times with my Mom or my Grandfather, this one was my mom and we both enjoyed ourselves immensely, specifically every thing Kevin Kline did whenever he was in spitting distance of the camera. The cast is a reunion of the admittedly superior A Fish Called Wanda, although now John Cleese for some reason has a terrible dye job. Kline is doing a LOT and while I could see people not enjoying it I think it's manic delight. Jamie Lee Curtis is the one left holding the bag as she's basically a walking sign for being horny and so doesn't have as much to do but the small moments she gets she uses fully. Small mention to Carey Lowell as a beautiful zookeeper (and the ADA I mentioned above who 15 year old TC had a lot of complex emotions about) and my man Ronnie Corbett the short British comic with huge glasses who has guided not many of my choices but idk we share a lot of descriptors!

Look this movie isn't perfect, and almost certainly not as good as A Fish Called Wanda but it takes me back to my youth and the fond warm embrace of a time when actually you could fucking hate rich people and the commodification of life. Miss those days RIP xoxoxox My favourite line is 'Excuse me gentlemen I need to be alone .. .I uh feel a bit . . . suicidal!' as spoken by Kline. Better heard then read I am sure. In closing I am a true contrarian and so when everyone says 'Oh this isn't as good as their OTHER movie I have to prove my punk bonafides and say ACTUALLY you're wrong and ACTUALLY I am right and it is GREAT to murder rich people. With Satire! 10.10

anonymous : What’s Dazai’s financial situation like while working for the ADA?

AWFUL. this idiot has never had to budget anything in his life before. first he was a rich kid (my own headcanon) and then he was a rich teen with blood money. he was never want for material desires and spent money accordingly. this usually meant eating out basically every day because he was too lazy/unwilling to make his own meals.

so naturally when he has a decent paying job but is no longer a rich criminal, dazai suffers from it. he's still eating out or stuffing his kitchen with sake and canned crab. it's a godsend that the dorm comes with being part of the agency or else he would definitely be living in a shipping container again.

he's constantly running out of money or losing his wallet in the river (he's gone through so many wallets and everyone is embarrassed for him). he has open tabs in multiple bars and cafes and never does his taxes because he's too lazy to do paperwork.

and his habits will never get any better because he has his methods of making sure he can still live his sloppy lifestyle, mainly stealing kunikida's credit care or tricking someone else into paying for his meals.

What Are Disability Support Services?

Dedicated disability support workers help disabled individuals lead more fulfilling lives. These professionals can also help them secure disability benefits by finding them the right service equipment.

Counselling

Counselling is a type of support that allows disabled people to express their feelings and emotions in a safe environment. This helps them deal with the challenges they face in daily life. It can also help them cope with environmental stressors.

Disabled individuals often have a hard time feeling connected to society due to lack of social activity. Disability support services provide a variety of lifestyle support options that help increase socialisation and community participation. They can also provide expert behaviour assessments.

Disability support services coordinates reasonable accommodations for students with documented disabilities, ensuring that they have full access to the university’s education and campus experience. The service aims to foster a learning community that supports individual academic achievement and is in compliance with federal laws.

Lifestyle support

Nearly everyone will experience disability at some point in their lives. This may be temporary or permanent and can occur from a physical or mental health condition.

Regardless of the cause, disability can impact the ability to live an independent life. This is where disability support services come in to provide assistance.

Persons with disabilities frequently report that their health care providers do not regard them as knowledgeable partners in discussing their medical conditions or as experts in their own illnesses. Many believe that health care providers distance themselves from them because they do not meet expectations of cure (Krahn et al 1999).

Lifestyle support involves assisting disabled people with daily living activities such as meal preparation, bathing and shopping. This can help them to gain independence and reduce their reliance on family caregivers.

Rehabilitation

When people think of rehabilitation they may think of physiotherapy or exercise programmes in hospital or at home. It can also include education and advice to help prevent the onset of new symptoms, reduce complications or maintain function. This is common in long-term conditions such as COPD or diabetes, but also underpins supported self-management.

Disability Support Services (DSS) facilitates equal access to Southern’s learning community for students with documented disabilities. We work collaboratively with students through a proactive and interactive process to determine reasonable and appropriate accommodations, in accordance with Section 504 and the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Students with disabilities are expected to follow published procedures for making requests and to provide appropriate documentation. Confidentiality of student information is respected at all times.

Relieve primary caregivers

Most disabled people wish to attain or regain independence, which may require them to learn new skills such as bathing or cooking. The caregivers deployed by disability support services near me are trained to impart such skills to their clients. Moreover, they can conduct minor home modifications to promote independence.

Caring for a disabled family member can come with various costs, including out-ofpocket expenses and lost income. However, there are several ways to get compensation for the cost of caregiving. These include government programs, longterm care insurance, and tax credits and deductions.

Another option is respite care, which provides short-term temporary care for the disabled person. This service can be provided in a day care center or in the family’s home. It allows the primary caregiver to take a break and focus on their own personal needs.

Assistance with personal care

If you are unable to manage your personal care or household chores, then disability support services may be able to help. This includes assistance with preparing meals, grocery shopping, and running errands. It can also include friendly visiting and help with medication reminders. These services are available for people with a range of disabilities and include elderly adults and developmentally disabled adults.

CUNY’s Disability Support Services office provides guidance and facilitates equal access to institutional opportunities for students with documented disabilities in accordance with Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Americans with Disabilities Act Amendments 2008. Its primary mission is to ensure that a student's disability does not interfere with their academic success. These services can include a variety of accommodation options such as note takers, taped texts and alternative textbook formats.

The new MG HS Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV) offers an intriguing combination of style, space, and electric driving range. As a relatively new model from an emerging EV brand, prospective buyers wonder - how is MG pricing this electric SUV? This comprehensive overview explains MG HS EV pricing details including MSRP, invoice, deals, tax credits, and more. Learn what to expect as both a starting point for negotiations and the out-the-door cost. MG HS EV car MG HS EV MSRP and Trim Levels The 2023 MG HS PHEV carries a starting MSRP of $29,095 for the entry EXCLUSIVE trim before any options, fees, or electric vehicle incentives. It's offered in a single well-equipped trim with no major optional packages. The only additions are: $600 for the Moonroof $800 for the Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) package with adaptive cruise control and other aids. With both options added, the 2023 MG HS PHEV tops out at an MSRP of $30,495. As an emerging player in the US market, MG aims to draw in buyers with a reasonable starting price and straightforward lineup. Base Model MG HS Electric Car Invoice Pricing While MSRP sets the baseline, many buyers want to know the dealer invoice price to better gauge negotiation room. Invoice represents the wholesale price dealers pay to the manufacturer for a vehicle. Dealers aim to sell closer to MSRP to hit sales goals and turn a profit. Here are the 2023 MG HS Electric invoice prices including options: EXCLUSIVE trim: $27,846 With Moonroof: $28,446 With Moonroof + ADAS: $29,246 This results in an initial markup of around $1,250 on the base EXCLUSIVE model between MSRP and dealer invoice. With some negotiating and available incentives, buyers can often secure the MG HS EV for a few hundred dollars above invoice. Excite Model Federal Tax Credit for MG HS Electric The MG HS PHEV qualifies for the full $7,500 federal tax credit due to its large 37.5 kWh battery. This credit will remain in place until MG reaches the phaseout threshold through 2023. The credit is applied when you file your taxes for the year you purchased the vehicle. It directly reduces the tax you owe dollar for dollar. Note that the tax credit phases out once an automaker sells over 200,000 eligible EVs. MG remains far below that level allowing buyers to currently claim the maximum incentive. Exclusive Model State and Local Electric Car Incentives Depending on your location, additional electric vehicle incentives may be available: State rebates - California, New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts offer up to $2,000 back for PHEV purchases. Utility discounts - Some utilities provide discounts or rebates for installing a home EV charger. HOV access - States like CA grant PHEVs access to high-occupancy lanes to incentivize adoption. Consult incentives in your particular region before purchasing. States with high EV adoption offer the strongest programs. Your local MG dealership can explain eligibility. Leasing the MG HS Electric SUV MG and its financing partners offer competitive lease deals on the HS PHEV for well-qualified lessees: Example Lease Terms 36 months $3,000 due at signing 10,000 miles per year Monthly Payment Around $400/month before tax credits Could drop to ~$300/month after claiming EV credit The low $3,000 drive-off payment plus federal tax savings make the MG HS reachable for budget-focused shoppers. Payments are similar or lower than comparable mainstream EVs. Out-the-Door Price - Fees and Add-Ons The final sales price reflects extra items beyond MSRP: Dealer fees - Vary by location but average around $600. Doc and e-filing fees are common. Taxes and registration - Sales tax (~8% on average), title registration fees, plate fees. Can total $2,000+. Destination charge - MG adds a standard $1,075 destination/delivery fee. Going with a

mid-level EXCLUSIVE model and accounting for average fees, expect an out-the-door price around $33,000 prior to credits and incentives. This maintains the value equation. Smart Negotiation Tips Use these strategies to negotiate the best deal on an MG HS Electric: Get written quotes - Shop prices from multiple dealerships. Let them bid for your business. Know the incentives - Understand federal/state tax credits fully so they work in your favor. Mention invoice pricing - While dealers won't sell at invoice, use it as a reference point in negotiation. Buy near month's end - Salespeople have quotas and are eager to close deals at month's end. Mention competing offers - Politely let the dealer know you have competitive quotes they need to beat. FAQs How much below MSRP can I negotiate on an MG HS EV? Expect to pay $500-1,500 below MSRP on the MG HS Electric with some negotiation. Deals under invoice pricing are unlikely. Does the federal tax credit apply to leases? Yes, you can claim the full $7,500 tax credit even if leasing the MG HS EV. It will directly reduce your tax bill. What fees should I expect when purchasing the MG HS PHEV? Plan for around $600 in dealer fees plus 8% sales tax and DMV registration fees. The destination charge is $1,075. Total fees often reach $2,000+. Can I negotiate the dealer fees on an MG HS Electric? Unfortunately dealer fees are fixed, but you can certainly negotiate the sales price aggressively. Fees just factor into the out-the-door price. How much should I budget for out-the-door cost on an MG HS EV? With taxes, fees, and destination charges expect around $33,000 out-the-door for a mid-level MG HS PHEV before any credits or discounts. Key Takeaways on MG HS EV Pricing MSRP spans $29,095 - $30,495 across one well-equipped trim Aim to negotiate $500-1,500 below MSRP to get a fair deal $7,500 federal tax credit plus state incentives help reduce cost Out-the-door price lands around $33,000 for a typical configuration Leasing with low drive-off payment provides an affordable option For buyers seeking good electric range and interior room without a luxury price, the HS PHEV hits a practical balance. Get quotes from multiple MG dealers to find competitive pricing. #Wiack #Car #CarInsurance #CarRental #CarPrice #AutoLoans

Exploring Cutting-Edge Car Technologies for an Intelligent Buying Decision

From Leonardo Da Vinci’s first conception of the car, Karl Benz’s and Gottlieb Daimler’s futuristic automotive inventions to Henry Ford’s moving assembly line that changed the way of manufacturing cars, the automotive industry has come a long way.

It has undergone a rapid technological revolution, introducing cutting-edge advancements in safety, convenience, and overall driving experience. If you are in the market to buy a new car, it is time to understand the advanced technologies that have reshaped the way we think about cars.

1. Electric Powertrains

One of the most significant advancements in recent years is the widespread adoption of electric powertrains, also called electric cars. They offer benefits such as zero emissions, reduced operating costs, government subsidies, etc.

After the success of the Tesla EVs, several other car manufacturers are also joining the revolution to build an impressive range of vehicles and an extensive charging network. Buying an electric car is good for the environment and your wallet. The Federal Government offers a $7500 tax credit for buying an EV, depending on your eligibility. It will make your purchase affordable and ensure that you drive an eco-friendly vehicle.

2. Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS)

ADAS technologies have transformed modern cars into intelligent companions, prioritizing safety and convenience. Many vehicles now have multiple systems like reverse brake assist, lane-keep assist, lane departure warning, blind spot alert, etc. For example, the Subaru EyeSight system will assess traffic movement, optimize cruise control, and help in lane-keeping. The Subaru pre-collision braking feature can push full brakes in emergencies.

Tesla has introduced the Autopilot feature to help drivers with traffic-aware cruise control and lane-keep assist. Its enhanced Autopilot system offers additional features such as assisted parking and auto lane change. Other manufacturers offer similar features like General Motors’ Super Cruise and Ford Company's BlueCruise.

Now, the level of ADAS technologies you want in your car depends on your preferences and budget. Although a few technologies are helpful, one rarely needs an automotive gesture recognition system, especially when it is still in its early stages.

3. Infotainment and Connectivity

Audi has an MMI (Multi Media Interface) system for managing music and audio controls, vehicle settings, Audi Connect subscription service, etc. Not just Audi, every auto manufacturer is integrating mobile phones with automobiles.

Many manufacturers have introduced a mobile app to find the vehicle location, let you access car doors remotely, check the fuel status, ascertain the tire pressure, and even remotely start the engines. It means you no longer need the key fob to open the door. You can use your mobile phone to access your vehicle.

For example, BMW has the Connected Drive app to locate and lock/unlock the vehicle. It has other apps to access battery levels and road assistance. Other popular apps include myChevrolet app, Mopar Connect, Ford Remote Access, and HondaLink.

4. Autonomous Driving

While fully autonomous vehicles are still in the developmental stages, there is significant progress in the field. For example, the Cadillac Super Cruise system offers hands-free driving with the help of cameras, sensors, and LiDAR map data.

Even Tesla has announced that its cars will achieve FSD (Full Self-Driving) Capabilities later this year. Because we have access to cutting-edge technologies, you do not need to buy a high-end vehicle with an autonomous driving system. The initial cost of such cars is high, and even though it is a buyers’ market, it is best to understand your financial situation before jumping on the bandwagon.

We need to be Intelligent Buyers!

The automotive industry is witnessing an era of remarkable technological advancements that are reshaping the way we perceive and interact with cars. Vehicles are becoming more intelligent than ever, and the pressing need is to become intelligent buyers.

We need to understand our preferences, needs, and financial constraints before finalizing a car at the dealership lot. Making an impulsive decision without ascertaining your budget and financial situation can lead to car repossession and demolish your credit score.

So, learn what technological innovations are non-negotiable and what is dispensable for you. Once you have a list of requirements, shop online for auto loans.

There are online auto financing companies that promise affordable financing options for people with credit issues. You can get a bad credit auto loan or a zero down payment car financing option to buy a vehicle within your means.

So, let’s not get distracted by different automotive technologies. Instead, focus on the basics to make an affordable car purchase.

Apply online for guaranteed auto loans. Discuss your requirements with a bad credit auto financing company and get a customized loan quote.

2. Understanding Deferred Election Cash Balance Plans

2.1 Definition and Key Features

A deferred election cash balance plan is a retirement savings vehicle that combines elements of both defined contribution and defined benefit plans. It allows eligible employees to defer a portion of their compensation, which is then credited with interest over time. The accumulated funds grow tax-deferred until retirement.

One of the key features of these plans is the ability for employees to make elections regarding their compensation deferrals. This flexibility allows individuals to choose the amount they wish to defer, enabling them to tailor their retirement savings based on their financial goals and circumstances.

2.2 Benefits and Risks

Deferred election cash balance plans offer several benefits for both employees and employers. For employees, these plans provide an additional retirement savings option with potential tax advantages. The interest credited to the deferred amounts can generate significant growth over time, enhancing retirement security.

Employers also benefit from offering these plans as they provide a competitive advantage in attracting and retaining top talent. Additionally, these plans can help employers manage their workforce's retirement expectations and facilitate succession planning.

However, it's important to acknowledge the potential risks associated with deferred election cash balance plans. These risks include fluctuations in interest rates, investment performance, and regulatory changes that may impact the plan's design and operation.

In some cases, legal disputes may arise when terminating a deferred election cash balance plan. Participants may challenge the adequacy of the plan's termination benefits or the fairness of the plan termination process. Clear communication and compliance with legal requirements can help mitigate the risk of such disputes.

6. Regulatory Considerations for Plan Administration
