人容易“盲从”的原因

茨威格是这样理解的:“只要能够让庸庸碌碌的众生相信世界可以复归崇高和平衡,不管是什么人都可以使大众焕发出新的力量,并为此赴汤蹈火,在所不辞.....甚或甘愿为此抛弃曾经如此珍视的自由和精神.....”正是由于这种深深扎根于人类的盲从的心理机制中的极权主义,使得那些对自由和独立思考深感恐惧的民众走向集体狂热,他们自动交出自己的心灵,甘于被奴役,需要被强暴。吃人者的无限贪婪和被吃者的普遍隐忍纵容了独裁的可能。

如何煮饺子


1)倒入1/2锅水,煮沸。
2)放入少于1/4锅的饺子,用一个东西(我常用挖米饭用的那个东西)轻轻地顺时针转动水,带动饺子旋转。目的是不让饺子粘在锅底。
3)等水煮沸以后,加入一碗冷水,然后再轻轻转一下水,带动饺子旋转,脱离锅底。
4)重复步骤3。
5)等水再次沸腾以后,观察饺子是否已经涨起。因为饺子馅熟了以后,自然产生蒸汽,使饺子膨胀。此时应该是收获饺子的时候了。

What Expenses Can You Claim on A Rental Property?

12 September 2012

What Rental Expenses Can you Claim on Your TaxesPreviously, I wrote about the two types of expenses you can claim on a rental property, current and capital expenses, and how to tell which is which.
Now it’s time to get down to the nitty gritty and take a look at some of the specific rental property expenses you can and can’t deduct from your income tax. Today: capital expenses.
Capital Expenses You Can Deduct
These, as previously discussed, are expenses that you deduct the cost of over a period of years according to the Capital Cost Allowance Rules  (T4036  – Rental Income).
Capital costs associated with buying your rental property can be deducted, such as:
  • the purchase price of rental property; and
  • legal fees and other costs connected with buying the property.

How to get the best deal on an all inclusive package

2011-22-February   
When it comes to all inclusive vacations, this is the question most people want the answer to: 'When should I book to get the best deal?'

To clarify, 'all inclusive' in this case refers to a package with flight, hotel, food, and drinks and 99% of the time it's to Cuba, Mexico, or the Dominican, AKA the Big 3 of all inclusive traveling. Some people like to throw around the term 'all inclusive' when referring to a flight and hotel (only) package to Vegas or Hawaii or other destinations. To most people though (at least in Canada), the term all inclusive involves food and drinks.

I think it's important to understand exactly what your options are when looking for an all inclusive package. It may seem like there's an overwhelming variety of places to search and scour, but in reality there's really only 2 worlds of prices available to us Canadians.

World #1 - The Canadian Tour Operators(ie: Sunwing, Transat Holidays, Nolitours, WestjetVacations, etc)

If you've ever searched for an all inclusive vacation on a Canadian based site like RedTag, SellOffVacations, ITravel2000, Escapes, FlightCentre, or FlightNetwork you were searching for prices from the Canadian tour operators. To save my fingers from some typing, I'm going to refer to them as the CTO's from this point on.
