![]() The Chinese assertive reactions stem from the understanding that rebalancing seeks to throw China off its strategic balance in the region. China, at least in the past six months, has reacted in a way that confirms that it is circumspect in so far as “Rebalancing” is concerned, and is keeping its powder dry. China’s further military modernisation and its show of strength have become the bane for American security policy in the Asia-Pacific. In his second term, Obama’s Asia policy remains clogged with problems arising particularly out of Beijing’s maritime assertiveness. On all these issues, China did not reciprocate as desired by the US. His first term saw conciliatory steps towards accommodating Chinese concerns to deal with issues such as the currency dispute, climate change, North Korea, and Iran. But he softened his stance on the country after he assumed office. In 2008, while still campaigning, Obama spoke tough on China. This dilution traces itself to the first term of US President Barack Obama. For example, in the annual security conference of the US Army War College in 2012, references to an ‘Asian Pivot’ were deliberately eschewed in favour of the term, ‘rebalancing.’ Gradually, with recalibrations in its erstwhile pivot policy, rebalancing became the preferred term.Ĭareful observations will reveal that there has either been a further dilution in the rebalancing policy of the US or that it never really took off in the intended sense. Among the first instances was the talk of the US’s pivot to the Asia-Pacific being replaced with the policy of a ’rebalancing’. The recoil in the Obama Administration’s Pivot to Asia policy became evident within two years of the declaration of the policy. Clearly, the chinks in the armour of the US’ capability for a military-strategic force projection in the Asia-Pacific have been made visible by Chinese assertiveness. This assertion gets a justification in a US Department of Defense-commissioned assessment which pointed out that the strategy behind its force planning has not been “adequately articulated.”Įven as the 2014 Quadrennial Defense Review reaffirms Washington’s commitment to the US pivot to Asia, the Pivot is failing to live up to its promise. ![]() ![]() Part of the blame also lies in the failure to implement the “Rebalancing” properly. A recuperating US economy finds it difficult to remain committed in military-strategic assets in the Asia-Pacific due to resource constraints. In other words, a free execution of “Rebalancing” has thus been constrained by the US’ economic dependence on China. Implicit in this decision is the fact that any possibility of strategic confrontation between China and the US is undercut by their neoliberal concerns. Both the White House and the Pentagon have thought it to be wise not to confront China. On all these geostrategic developments, Washington has exercised restraint. Pacific Fleet which stated, “This incident underscores the need to ensure the highest standards of professional seamanship, including communications between vessels, to mitigate the risk of an unintended incident or mishap.” Washington’s response was limited to a statement issued by the U.S. In December 2013, USS Cowpens (CG-63), a Ticonderoga-class guided missile cruiser, was nudged and forced out of its way by the People’s Liberation Army Navy although it claimed to have been in ‘international waters’. These regulations came into force in January 2014. Six days later, China’s Hainan province issued new regulations on fishing in the South China Sea. Washington did not make any attempt to pressurise Beijing to take back the decision. ![]() In 2013, when China unilaterally imposed an Air Defence Identification Zone over large parts of the East China Sea, that angered Taiwan, Japan, and South Korea, the US’ response was limited to flying two unarmed, unescorted B-52 bombers over the Chinese-demarcated Zone. In 2012, the US displayed evident reluctance to go out of its way to side with the Philippines when China took the Scarborough Shoal, in spite of there being a bilateral defence understanding between the two. ![]() There have been at least three incidents that indicate the limitations. Over the past six months alone, there have been a few confrontations between the US and China that reflect the limitations to Washington’s strategic hedging against Beijing in the Asia-Pacific. The limitations of the US involvement in the Asian security construct have been manifesting themselves often recently – particularly since the 2001 EP-3 incident – and with increasing frequency with the rise in China’s maritime assertiveness in the region. ![]() ![]() ![]() The first line mailing address of the provider being identified.

Bluey brought in Joy Malcolm and Pam Anderson for some edge on vocals, and recorded at Abbey Road with a full orchestra, using Clare Fischer’s incredible string arrangements for Rufus as inspiration and the then-undiscovered, BAFTA-winning, British composer-arranger Simon Hale (Jamiroquai, Björk) to write the score. ![]() If Positivity sealed it, then 100 Degrees & Rising super-sealed it. “People identified with the songs, and that album sealed it.” It really struck a chord with American audiences,” Bluey recalls. It was a simple tribute to Miles Davis, but that and ‘Deep Waters’ from our Positivity album were huge. “We had a hit with an instrumental called ‘L’Arc en Ciel de Miles’. The album sold almost a million units worldwide. Positivity (1993) was among their best, crammed full of slick productions with universal hits like “Still a Friend of Mine” and “Givin’ It Up”. The albums that followed Tribes cemented Incognito’s place among the in-demand bands on the international stage. Around that time, Gilles Peterson had just started his Talkin’ Loud label, and was looking for acts to sign. In the late ’80s, samplers and sequencers were standard and, using a BBC computer, Bluey started creating tracks at home, including what would become the main body of Incognito’s third album, Inside Life. It all helped me to develop as a songwriter.” “I did anything to keep my love for music alive. He discovered 14-year-old vocalist Steven Dennis (later re-named Steven Dante) in Hackney, and he also met and worked with Marcus Miller, producer Steve Harvey, artists Maxi Priest, George Duke, Caroll Thompson, Total Contrast, and many others. Although Bluey had a day job at the time, he continued writing and producing, and always kept his ears to the ground for new talent. Soon after that, Paul and Bluey went their separate ways. Those sessions took a more Jazz-Rock-Fusion-influenced direction, which the record company deemed too much of a stylistic departure to be released as Incognito, so they put it out as a one-off called Behind the Mask under the band name The Warriors. In 1983, Incognito went back into the studio to record their second album. This exchange is the basis for the Incognito sound and the ideology of the band. I try to get the best from them and in turn they give their best for my songs and productions. I have them in mind, considering their styles and allowing them the space to shine. “When I write and produce, I respect the musician and singer’s spirits 100%. The debut Incognito set, Jazz Funk, was an instrumental tour de force, with guests including Hugh Masekela hornsmen Peter Segona and Claude Deppa, and legendary Jamaican trombonist Vin Gordon. Dues, then, to Jean-Paul “Bluey” Maunick and Incognito, formed in 1979 and celebrating almost 40 years of positive vibes and undiluted Jazz-Funk. Narrow it down to those that have created a uniquely British sound and have endured as a global phenomenon on their own terms, and the list becomes short. Look at the recent history of soulful UK artists and you will find any number of short-lived acts that have achieved pop success.

The determination of whether an item is de minimis must also take into account the frequency with which similar fringe benefits are provided by the employer to employees. Section 132(e)(1) defines a de minimis fringe benefit as any property or service the value of which is so small as to make accounting for it unreasonably or administratively impracticable. Section 132(a)(4) provides that gross income does not include any fringe benefit that qualifies as a de minimis fringe benefit. The primary exception to the rule that holiday gifts, prizes, and parties should be included in income can be found in code Section 132(a)(4), which excludes certain de minimis fringe benefits from taxable income. Section 102(c), however, provides that the gift exclusion does not apply to “any amount transferred by or for an employer to, or for the benefit of, an employee.” Thus, when an employer gives an employee a gift, it is taxable under Section 102(c) unless another exception applies. Other times the employer incorrectly assumes that the gift is excludable from gross income under tax code Section 102(a), which excludes from gross income the value of property acquired by gift, bequest, devise, or inheritance. Sometimes employers do not view a gift or prize as compensation for past or future services. This rule, however, is occasionally forgotten when it comes to giving gifts or door prizes at company holiday parties. The general tax rule under Internal Revenue Code Section 61 is that all forms of compensation are subject to income tax unless specifically excluded by the tax code. Below are the tax rules employers should know if they are planning on thanking their employees with gifts, prizes, or a party this holiday season.
