The incredible rewards of supporting charitable causes

March 17, 2021 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Charitable causes have always had an important place in the world. While so many of us are truly blessed to have wonderful lives where we are in no immediate danger or disadvantage, there are so many individuals who unfortunately are not in the same position. As such, it ought to come as no surprise that charities have always had and will always have an important role to play in the world around us and the way that we navigate and appreciate the world for what it is and what it has to offer.

Individuals who are in a position of advantage and privilege often find themselves questioning if they should take the time and make the intention to donate to charity. For some individuals, the question is easy to answer and to follow through with meaningful and lasting action and impact. For others, that question sometimes comes with further questions. So, it certainly pays to acknowledge and understand the rewards that always come hand in hand with donating to charitable causes – and the lasting impacts that donations have.

Donating to charity

Making the active and conscious decision to donate to charity is a decision that is, above all else, the acknowledgement and intention of an individual in a position of privilege to donate and improve the lives of individuals (human or otherwise) and/or the world in a meaningful and lasting way. Donations to charitable causes are designed and intended from the ground up to effectively and successfully go into improving an aspect of life as we know it and for this reason they have always been important causes to support and they always will be important causes to support.

The rewards of supporting charity

The incredible rewards of supporting charitable causes are rewards that so often (if not nearly always) go hand in hand with the understanding that by investing some of your hard earned money into someone or something else meaningfully positive, you are improving the world in one way or another. That feeling of doing a good deed is one of the biggest and most important rewards. Additionally, donating to and supporting charitable causes comes with the reward of knowing that you are doing a good thing with no self interest involved in the process. And finally, there is also the awareness that charitable causes are such because they are important. And there is no better investment than an investment in bettering the world.

The overall goal of charity donation

For anyone and everyone who donates to charitable causes, the overall goal of charity donation is very much a goal that is intrinsically linked to collectively and individually working towards having an active hand in creating a better future for us all. The world can always do with more good. So, it makes all the sense in the world that the overall goal of charity donation and support is to continuously take steps towards improving the world in one way or another.

4 Ways to Save Money on Your Federal Taxes

March 15, 2014 by Reporter Leave a Comment

Here are four easy things you can do right now to reduce your federal tax bill in the US. The idea here is to pay as little as you can in taxes, and we do this by reducing our taxable income. The way federal taxes work, you take your annual salary, then subtract from it …and arrive at your Adjusted Gross Income. Naturally we want to subtract as much as we can to make that AGI as low as possible. Subtractions are called deductions. That brings us to the 4 ways to save money on your federal taxes.

pay taxes or save

The 4 deductions are

  1. Put more money into your 401(k) if you have one. The money you put into your pension plan at work will not be taxed. For example, if you put $10,000 into your 401(k) then your AGI will be that much lower. The added benefit is that some employers will match what you contribute up to a certain amount. Nice!
  2. If you volunteer, keep track of transportation. That’s because you can deduct the mileage at $0.14 per mile, parking, tolls, and other ways you may have gotten to the volunteering work.
  3. If you give to charity, keep records. If you donate clothes, furniture, or anything else make sure it’s to a qualified charity. That way, you can deduct the amount you give off your taxes, thus reducing your Adjusted Gross Income.
  4. Plan your medical and dependent care. If you have a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) then make sure you use it. Contribute to it through your employer…money is taken out pre-tax so you are reducing your AGI even before it hits your Federal Tax Return.
  5. Set one up, put the right amount into it, and make sure you spend it by the end of the year.

    UK in broil over supply of chemical to syria

    September 11, 2013 by Reporter Leave a Comment

    The Daily Mail reported on Sunday that UK companies sold deadly poisonous chemicals to the Bashar al-Assad-led Syrian government that could have been used in the alleged chemical weapons attack in Damascus, killing around 1,400 people.

    In the period between July 2004 – May 2010, the British government had issued five licences to two companies that allowed them to sell to Syria sodium fluoride, a chemical used to make the known deadly sarin that can be used in chemical attacks, the ndtv report and UK daily reports said.

    Chemicals used in attack -Sarin

    Sarin, or GB, is an organophosphorus compound with the formula [(CH3)2CHO]CH3PF. It is a colorless, odorless liquid, used as a chemical weapon owing to its extreme potency as a nerve agent.
    ‘
    Sarin can be lethal even at very low concentrations, with death following within one minute after direct ingestion due to suffocation from lung muscle paralysis, unless some antidotes, typically atropine or Biperiden and pralidoxime, are quickly administered to a person.[4] People who absorb a non-lethal dose, but do not receive immediate medical treatment, may suffer permanent neurological damage.

    Other than sarin, VX and Mustard Gas are otehr chemical that have been used in  chemical attacks

    Chemical attacks History

     

    The March 16, 1988,(Saddam Gasses The Kurds) attack came during the Iran-Iraq war. Saddam’s cousin Ali Hassan al-Majid, who ordered the attack on Halabja, came to be known as Chemical Ali. He was executed in 2010 following the U.S. invasion of Iraq that toppled Saddam.

    Chemical weapons were used sporadically after the war, including by the Soviets againstrebelling peasants; Spain and France against Rif rebels in Spanish Morocco; Britain in Mesopotamia; and Italian Fascists during the invasion of Abyssinia.

     

    Most countries need to have checks , but in a clear breach of international protocol on the trade of dangerous chemicals and substances, the British firms delivered sodium fluoride to a Syrian cosmetics company.It is alleged that Assad’s government uses such sham companies to divert chemicals into its weapons programme in syria as reported by the newspaper.

    "Previously we thought that while export licences had been granted, no chemicals were actually delivered. Now we know that in the build-up to the Syrian civil war, British companies – with the backing of our government – were supplying this potentially lethal substance as reported by Docherty.

    This has created a flurry of questions in British parliament in relation to their accountability in this chemical attack

    Un enforces No Fly zone – Who voted ?

    March 20, 2011 by Reporter 1 Comment

    A no-fly zone (or no-flight zone) is a territory over which aircraft are not permitted to fly. Such zones are usually set up in a military context, somewhat like a demilitarized zone in the sky, and usually prohibit military aircraft of a belligerent nation from operating in the region. – From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

    Un resolution goes yes  with NO FLY ZONE for Libya

    Libya said late Saturday that it considered invalid a UN resolution on a no-fly zone over the country and demanded an urgent meeting of the UN Security Council after the air strikes by West powers.

    The vote passed 10-0 with five abstentions in the 15 member council.

    YES VOTE for  No Fly Zone

    • USA
    • AUSTRALIA
    • FRANCE
    • UK
    • CANADA
    • ITALY

    NO or Abstain to vote For No Fly Zone Countries

    • CHINA
    • GERMANY
    • INDIA
    • RUSSIA
    • BRAZIL

    UN Security Council Resolution 1973 authorises the use of all means necessary to protect civilians, including air strikes, and the creation of a no-fly zone to prevent Moamer Kadhafi attacking rebels. Mr Rudd has been campaigning for a no-fly zone over Libya for several weeks and says Australia was “banging the drum” for quite a while.

    Middle East Uprisings

    The Libyan revolt is the bloodiest of popular uprisings in the Middle East this year that have toppled Tunisian President Zine El Abidine Ben Ali and Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak.

    There have also been anti-government demonstrations in Yemen, Bahrain, Jordan, Syria, Algeria, Iran, Iraq and Oman, calling for democracy and improved living standards.
