Usher Global superstar and eight-time GRAMMY Award-winner Usher will headline a Las Vegas residency at Dolby Live at Park MGM, opening in July 2022. So many things throughout my career - Broadway, acting, skating, hit records, dancing - I try to put all of those things into my show. The crooner will be back for 25 dates between March 2023 and July 2023, following two successful runs in 2021. Usher naturally kicked off the show with “My Way,” and slid into “Caught Up,” and “U Don’t Have to Call,” followed by some of his sexier songs like, “Love In This Club,” “Lil Freak” and “Lovers and Friends.” He then upped the ante by adding rollerblades to his already-impressive choreography to perform his newer and more upbeat songs, like “Don’t Waste My Time,” and his City Girls collab “ Good Love.” Clips on social media showed him gliding across the stage and, while that may seem challenging to others, he makes it look natural and effortless.He said, “It’s all about giving the ladies what they want to see, you know?

![]() The new 9.12% level marks by far the lowest affordability percentage to date, as well as the first time the threshold has dropped below the initial 9.5% standard set by the ACA. This week the IRS issued Revenue Procedure 2022-34, which significantly decreases the affordability threshold for ACA employer mandate purposes to 9.12% for plan years beginning in 2023. Where possible within budgetary constraints, employers should prepare to offer at least one medical plan option to full-time employees in all regions with an employee-share of the premium not exceeding $103.28/month for employee-only coverage to simplify affordability compliance under the federal poverty line safe harbor.Ģ023 Affordability Percentage Set at 9.12% 2023 Contribution Strategy Considerations: Consider the ACA affordability safe harbor requirements when designing 2023 employee contribution levels to avoid potential employer mandate “B Penalty” liability.While the calculation is straightforward and mostly routine now, employers should prepare early to avoid being caught off guard by the increased employer contributions required to keep the plan affordable at the much lower 9.12% rate for 2023. This approach applies an analysis of the lowest hourly rate of pay for hourly full-time employees and the lowest monthly salary for salaried full-time employees. 2023 Lowest-Cost Plan Exceeds $103.28/Month (Rate of Pay Affordability Safe Harbor): Employers that do not offer a medical plan option meeting the 2023 federal poverty line affordability safe harbor (i.e., the lowest-cost plan option at the employee-only tier costs employees more than $103.28/month) should generally utilize the rate of pay affordability safe harbor.2023 Lowest-Cost Plan is No More Than $103.28/Month (Federal Poverty Line Affordability Safe Harbor): Employers with a calendar plan year offering a medical plan option in 2023 that costs employees no more than $103.28 per month for employee-only coverage will automatically meet the ACA affordability standard under the federal poverty line affordability safe harbor that deems coverage affordable for all full-time employees (and permits the employer to use qualifying offer method for streamlined ACA reporting). ![]() 2023 ACA Affordability Percentage (Large!) Decrease to 9.12%: The IRS has announced that the ACA affordability percentage used to determine compliance with the employer mandate will decrease dramatically from 9.61% in 2022 to 9.12% in 2023 (by far the lowest level to date) of the employee’s household income, as determined under one of the safe harbor approaches.Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act Updating Payment Parameters, Section 1332 Waiver Implementing Regulations, and Improving Health Insurance Markets for 2022 and Beyond Proposed Rule.

Fortunately, he’s married to a lawyer who owns and uses very nice rollerball pens but isn’t as picky about design history or score-keeping. Our tester for this post is a relatively obsessed fountain-pen enthusiast, so he found it tricky to narrow down a manageable list of finalists. Note that the firm pressure required to get ballpoint ink on the page means these pens are much better for filling out carbon-copy forms or checks. A ballpoint’s ink doesn’t flow as quickly or smoothly, so these pens require more pressure when writing and the lines aren’t as bold. The oil-based ballpoint ink sticks to paper more than it really dries, but the refills last longer and don’t dry out. We’ve also reviewed a variety of these types of pens to figure out the best gel pens for any job.īallpoint: These no-fuss pens were invented as an everyday replacement for fountain and rollerball pens, and they’re popular for good reason. That said, if you’re left-handed, you should be wary of gel ink - it smudges more than ballpoint and rollerball ink. If you’re looking for smooth-flowing ink with strong colors and sharp, featherless lines, then a gel pen is probably a great choice for you. Gel: A hybrid between the thick ballpoint ink and free-flowing rollerball ink, gel ink uses archival-grade pigment in water-based gel. Sadly, fineliner refills dry out quickly if you leave the cap off your pen. These are often popular among left-handers. The ink is usually the same as in rollerball and fountain pens, but the porous tip puts down just enough for a bold line, with an even quicker dry time. Rollerballs also need a cap to stop them from drying out.įineliner or porous-point: Like a cross between a felt marker and a rollerball, a fineliner refill for a rollerball pen uses a tough porous plastic material for its tip. Like a fountain pen, the ink can feather and bleed through some paper, and the ink can leak out of the cartridge when air pressure drops on an airplane. Rollerballs should write effortlessly and can create very fine lines - and unlike gel pens, the ink dries quickly enough for left-handers. This setup is less finicky to write with than a nib, and also much easier to refill. Rollerball: Take the same dye-in-water ink that fountain pens use, then put it in a ball-tip disposable refill, and you’ve got a rollerball pen. Despite these difficulties, the most prestigious pens are still fountain pens. There’s a wide selection of beautiful inks you can refill with, but they bleed and feather on common paper types, and the pens need messy maintenance. Capped pensįountain pens: Fountain pens put down a heavy line of water-based ink with barely any pressure on the page.

![]() ![]() The Shutterfly book in this case was $49.38. All in, after discounts and adding shipping and tax, the MyPublisher book ended up being $52.66. A similar book at 110 pages with Shutterfly is $219.67. The base price for the MyPublisher book for one 100 page book with the specs I detailed was $146.20 before discounts. Also note that I added a dust jacket for this order, which I don’t normally do for MyPublisher, but I thought for those of you that like dust jackets, I’ll order one so I can review it here. So if you’re getting free extra pages, you should definitely go for the max! Shutterfly breaks down its options differently so some things which were included with MyPublisher are add-ons in Shutterfly. You can have a total of 110 pages in a Shutterfly photo book, that’s 10 pages more than with MyPublisher. ![]() Below is a screenshot from the order for this book: I usually get at least two codes to work on every order and lots of folks have said the same. Don’t ask me how – it just happens sometimes. In your shopping cart, even if a code is initially kicked out, be sure to click on the ‘Details’ heading as well as the “See Saved Offers” – sometimes codes that are initially rejected are accepted after I go to take a look at the details. Keep trying different combinations until you get the lowest price. That means whatever codes you can get your hands on, you should try them all and see what happens. PHOTO BOOK GIRL TIP: Shutterfly has its own unique pricing structure and it’s one of the few companies that allows you to STACK coupon codes. I had never seen Shutterfly offer the same deal, and I even wrote about that in my February FAQ post, but lo and behold this past July, Shutterfly offered the free extra pages on their site and of course I had to jump on it! Yes, that deal was probably the best deal MyPublisher would offer to readers and one that I often requested from my contacts at MyPublisher for our fans. That’s a great price for a large lay flat photo book.Ī number of commenters mourned the loss of the beloved free extra pages deal. So, each 100 page book cost about $52.00 after discounts, inclusive of shipping and taxes. I would also choose the matte cover and standard end sheets which were included in the price. The latter was only a few dollar upcharge so that was a no brainer for me. Later when new options became available, I would always choose the lay flat upgrade as well as the thicker premium satin pages. Normally I would wait for a free extra pages deal or 60% off discount before ordering. I’ve almost always maxed out my photo books at 100 pages since I love to take lots of photos and have a hard time leaving so many out. ![]() Since then I’ve made countless books with them. MyPublisher is the first photo book company I tried back in 2005. Note that this order was for a quantity of two books, so divide the cost in half for an apples to apples comparison.

Not all is lost – while you cannot upload them to MyPublisher any longer and there is no way to print from those files as is, at a minimum you can view your layouts and recreate them in different software with a different company (or do the layouts again on your own purchased software and then print them anywhere you like). The software resides on your computer so you can still see your books. The one thing I can advise is to go ahead an open up the old MyPublisher software. ![]() At the outset, I put together a FAQ/Q&A post about the MyPublisher closure, with a lot of info about the transition, so if you haven’t read that post or want a refresher, be sure to take a look.Īmong those writing me are folks who didn’t hear about the closure until after the fact and some unfortunately had lots of books in the works.
