Video clips and animated graphics

I am looking for a knowledge person to make video clips of 10 to 15 secs of events. The clip can be a video or animated graphic with sound and should be less than 0.5 to 1 M. It can depict lifetime events such as wedding, birth of baby, getting a job, getting fired, etc. It should be in a format that can be played on a mobile phone. Interested, please write to kinlian@gmail.com.

Note. These video clips are to be used for the mobile game called Family Life, as explained here: http://tankinlian.com/admin/file.aspx?id=335

Wisconsin Child Support | Child Joint Custody

The Wisconsin child support program, run by the Wisconsin Bureau of Child Support, can provide a lot of help with your child support requirements whether you are the custodial or non custodial parent.

The Wisconsin child support program can help you with

1.       Establishing paternity (legal fatherhood)

2.       Finding a missing parent

3.       Contacting the employer of the non custodial, paying parent to ensure collection of child support from his/her wages

4.       Helping with attempting to have a child support order changed

NYC Child Support | NY Child Support | Child Joint Custody

NY Child Support Calculation

NY child support is calculated on the basis of the number of children to be supported and the adjusted gross income of the non custodial parent.

This involves looking at the gross income of the non custodial parent, subtracting taxes, social security payments, Medicare) and then applying a percentage to the net figure.

This percentage is applied to the adjusted gross income figure in the following proportions:

1 child-proportion of adjusted gross income is 17%

2 children-25% of adjusted gross income

3 children-29% of adjusted gross income

4 children-31% of adjusted gross income

5 children-at least 35% of adjusted gross income

This amount is then added to the non custodial parents share of medical, educational and child care expenses. This total amount then is the non custodial parent’s full child support obligation.

It is important to note that if you are denied visitation rights to your child you cannot withhold child support. You must go to court to have your visitation order enforced or to obtain a visitation order.

Generally you will be ordered by the Family Law Court to make your child support payments to the Child Support Enforcement agency and not directly to the custodial parent. It is important to ensure that you do this as you may not get credit from the agency for payments made directly to the parent and your payments may be considered to be a gift, not child support. Check out child support laws also.

Sometimes, all that glitters ...

Gold investment firm placed on MAS' Investor Alert List
Former NTUC Income chief executive and consumer rights advocate Tan Kin Lian said such gold investment schemes could be operating on the basis that money from later investors is used to pay the earlier ones.

He also urged for greater regulation, saying: "The Government should make it illegal for any company to operate an investment scheme without getting a licence from MAS. They should not be allowed to collect deposits or investments and promise a high return, when they do not have the assets to back up their liabilities."

Offering packages at Temple

Hi Mr. Tan,
I would like to share with readers and hopefully, authority can pick up the message. I went to 财神庙 at sembawang for "return prayers" to 太岁. I noticed that the offering packages are at $10 per packet. I've 5 packets to buy. I remember other temples used to offer just like $2 per packet. Hence total amount paid today is about $50.00. I could have paid $10.00 in other temples. Just feel that a temple should review the sales price of the offering packages and offer wider selection, e.g. $5, $2 packages for devotees/visitors.
Thanks,
Sembawang resident
