Appeal bond form

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Professor Zvi Bodie, my long-time friend and Boston University colleague, has long been an avid proponent of I-bonds, introduced by the US Treasury in 1998. Given today's negative yields on TIPS (Treasury Inflation Protected Securities), Zvi's argument for I-bonds is particularly compelling. Professor Zvi Bodie is my long-time friend and Boston University colleague. He's also one of the world's top finance economists. Zvi's textbook, Investments , coauthored with Alex Kane and Alan Marcus, is used in all the major business schools around the globe and has been translated into 10 languages in addition to English. With Nobel Laureate in Economics, Robert C. Merton, Bodie co-authored an introductory textbook Financial Economics , which has been translated into nine languages. But Zvi's not just an egghead like me. He's absolutely devoted to helping people with their personal financial problems as his terrific … [Read more...] about I-Bonds — A Great, Safe Investment Opportunity

A cashier’s check is a check drawn against the bank’s account rather than yours. It is written in the bank’s name and typically signed by a teller. The bank is responsible for paying the check to the payee. You pay the bank the funds needed to cover the check from your account. You have to go to a bank or credit union—in person or online—to get a cashier’s check. In several scenarios, it makes sense to use a cashier’s check in place of a personal check because of the benefits and protections it offers that you may not enjoy with personal checks or cash payments. Alternatively, you can use a certified check, money order, wire transfer, or social payment app to make a payment. Each form of payment has its pluses and minuses. Here’s what you need to know about using cashier’s checks, how to get one, and what to use in their place if you need another option. Key Takeaways A cashier’s check is drawn from a bank’s or credit union’s funds and signed by a cashier or teller, which … [Read more...] about What a Cashier’s Check Is and Where to Get One

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A Texas jury rendered a verdict in Alex Jones’ defamation trial, ordering Jones to pay $45.2 million in punitive damages plus $4.1 million in compensatory damages to Neil Heslin and Scarlett Lewis, parents of a 6-year-old boy killed in the Sandy Hook school shooting . Jones broadcast false claims that the shooting was staged by "crisis actors." Jones says that he will appeal, and even if he loses, appeals take time. Sometimes even after a verdict, a lower settlement is reached, since collecting on a big verdict can be difficult, expensive and time-consuming. It’s not clear how many assets Jones has, although Roger Stone has already started a campaign to raise money for him. But if Jones ever pays, many Americans might be surprised at the tax rules at play. Jones’s business model may not be to everyone’s liking, but if he makes money from his broadcasting operations, these are probably business expenses. In contrast, the … [Read more...] about Alex Jones Gets $49.3M Tax Write Off, Plaintiffs Have To Pay IRS Tax On Verdict

IT’S ONLY WORDS Images taken from the Facebook page of the SMNI network show two of the five book projects ordered terminated by the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino (KWF), in a move denounced by academic and literary circles as well as some lawmakers as outright censorship. The highlighted texts purportedly show why the national language commission found the works “subversive.” The KWF is not the first government body, however, to go after publications that have already passed scholarly or editorial review but are now deemed dangerous for young Filipino minds. Some of the country’s most prominent writers’ groups are up in arms over the Komisyon ng Wikang Filipino’s (KWF) order to cease the publication and distribution of several titles it deemed to have “subversive” content. “It is alarming and we must be vigilant against the constant Red-tagging of writers and their books on a recent TV program,” according to the largest of the groups, the Unyon ng mga Manunulat ng Pilipinas (Umpil), … [Read more...] about Writers’ groups join outcry over KWF move

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Days away from the theaterical release of Jurassic World , the fourth installment of the Jurassic Park series, paleontologists and dinosaur lovers alike are eagerly awaiting the return of the most beloved dinosaur franchise in film history. As a professional dinosaur lover, I've been having fun revisiting what the scientific community has learned from the fossil record since the first Jurassic Park to see what this new film appears to get right about dinosaurs and where it diverges from the consensus. Scientists have known for decades that dinosaurs are related to birds and were most assuredly covered in feathers. Even though dinosaurs were being depicted in illustrations with feathery coatings as early as the late 1970s, it was not until the early 1990s that the mounting comparative anatomical evidence from fossil discoveries elevated the hypothesis of birds being avian dinosaurs to near universal acceptance in the … [Read more...] about What We’ve Learned About Dinosaurs Since Jurassic Park Came Out
