SEP-IRA

A Simplified Employee Pension Individual Retirement Arrangement (SEP IRA) is a variation of the Individual Retirement Account used in the United States. SEP IRAs are adopted by business owners to provide retirement benefits for themselves and their employees. There are no significant administration costs for a self-employed person with no employees. If the self-employed person does have employees, all employees must receive the same benefits under a SEP plan. Since SEP-IRAs are a type of IRA, funds can be invested the same way as most other IRAs.

The deadline for establishing the plan and making contributions is the filing deadline for the employer's tax return, including extensions.

The strictest conditions employers may place on employee eligibility are as follows. The employee must be included if they have:
 * 1) attained age 21
 * 2) worked for the employer in three of the previous five years
 * 3) received at least $650 in compensation for tax year 2021 ($600 for 2019 and for 2020)

Employers may use less restrictive criteria.

SEP-IRA funds are taxed at ordinary income tax rates when qualified withdrawals are taken after age $59 1⁄2$ (as for traditional IRAs). Contributions to a SEP plan are deductible, lowering a taxpayer's income tax liability in the contribution year.

Contribution limits
SEP-IRA contributions are treated as part of a profit-sharing plan. For employees, the employer may contribute up to 25% of the employee's wages to the employee's SEP-IRA account. For example, if an employee earns $40,000 in wages, the employer could contribute up to $10,000 to the SEP-IRA account.

The total contribution to a SEP-IRA account should not exceed a) the lesser of 25% of income (20% for self-employed before self-employed tax deduction is included; see below)); or b) $42,000 (for 2005), $44,000 (2006), $45,000 (2007), $46,000 (2008), $49,000 (2009–2011), $50,000 (2012), $51,000 (2013), $52,000 (2014), $53,000 (2015–2016), $54,000 (2017), $55,000 (2018), $56,000 (2019), $57,000 (2020), or $58,000 (2021). For 2010 and 2011, the compensation used in the calculation was capped at $245,000 (e.g., an employer making a 10% contribution cannot contribute more than $24,500 for any employee).

Self-employed
The contribution limit for self-employed persons is more complicated; barring limits, it is 20% of net profit. The computation is in IRS Pub 560, section 5, Table and Worksheets for the Self-Employed, specifically Rate Worksheet for Self-Employed.

Two complications are:
 * Federal Insurance Contributions Act tax (FICA)
 * Reduced rate

FICA tax
SEP contribution limits are computed not from net profit but from net profit adjusted for the deduction for self-employment tax (2019 Form 1040 Schedule C, line 31; 2019 Form 1040, Schedule F, line 34; or 2019 Form 1065, Schedule K-1, box 14, code A). Barring limits, this is half the 15.3% FICA tax, levied on net earnings, which is 92.35% of net profit. Therefore, adjusted net profit (net profit minus deduction for self-employment tax) is 92.935225% of net profit, which is close to but slightly more than net earnings.

Reduced rate
The limit of 25% applies to wages, not (adjusted) net profit. In the above example, where an employee earns $40,000 and the employer contributes 25% of that, $10,000, the employee has received $50,000 total, of which 20% goes to the SEP-IRA.

When a business is a sole proprietorship, the employee/owner both pays themselves wages and may also make a SEP contribution, which is limited to 25% of wages, namely, profits minus SEP contribution. For a particular contribution rate CR, the reduced rate is CR/(1+CR); for a 25% contribution rate, this yields a 20% reduced rate, as in the above.

Overall
Thus, the overall contribution limit (barring limits) is 20% of 92.9% (that is, 18.6%) of net profit.

For example, if a sole proprietor has $50,000 net profit from self-employment on Schedule C, then the "1/2 of self-employment tax credit", $3,532, shown on adjustments to income at the bottom of form 1040, will be deducted from the net profit. The result is then multiplied by 20% to arrive at the maximum SEP deduction, $9,293.

Withdrawal rules
SEP contributions and earnings are held in SEP-IRAs and can be withdrawn at any time, subject to the general limitations imposed on Traditional IRA. A withdrawal is taxable in the year received. If a participant makes a withdrawal before age 59½, generally a 10% additional tax applies. SEP contributions and earnings may be rolled over tax-free to other Individual retirement account and retirement plans.

SEP contributions and earnings must eventually be distributed following the IRA required IRA Required Minimum Distributions.

Talk:Eliane Karp

Untitled
I have often seen her name spelled as "Elaine"? A google search for Elaine Karp de Toledo finds more hits than Eliane ... ? Anyone know the story on this? Schtickwriter 20:04, 16 August 2007 (UTC) Regarding this statement
 * Some people say that she was paid US$ 1 million to return to Peru and help her husband in his presidential campaign.

This is rather provocative, to say the least. We should cite a source for it or delete it. -- Viajero 15:51, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC) In 2006 when finalizing the government of Toledo, Karp fled from Peru defendant of corruption This really, really needs a citation. --Descendall 07:25, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
 * I deleted it --Descendall 03:18, 17 October 2006 (UTC)

'The phrase "is fluent in 7 languages" is not correct. I've heard her speak in Nederlands and it sucks, she knows the language but it is not FLUENT, by the way the name Flemish of the language is incorrect, because it refers just to a local accent. I also speak spanish, my mother language, so I can say that her spanish is TERRIBLE, no way you can call that "fluent". --Karolus

Btw, I'm not disputing the fact they been separated for a number of years. It is pretty much 'public knowledge' Just that we should try to reference affirmations as much as we can. PuercoPop (talk) 22:05, 12 October 2008 (UTC)

Feigned credentials
For some years this party stated she'd earned a doctorate at Stanford which was untrue, discovered by accident communicating with the alumni association; she said she was in the doctoral program there, also untrue, confirmed via department. In fact, notably, this person goes by 'Dr.' in Peru and Latin America. The claim to speak Quechua is also false; a few words do not a speaker make. A speech given in Ancash Province (Ancash Quechua) was memorized. Moreover, there are so many Quechuas that studying one would in no way assure intelligibility in others.

As for charges of inappropriate activity while at the U.N. this is documented, and a deeper search may discover it, or parties may have had the internet 'cleaned' of documents they do not wish to be visible. There is a standing suspicion of money intended for Amazonian groups that went missing also. This person and spouse have public image problems already, one need not publish more negative comments. It took forever for the phoney doctoral credential to disappear however.

In Spanish, a book was published, part of it's title is '...aventureros...'(adventurers) and to my understanding, it slams credibility and documents activities. Without having seen the book, cannot comment further on sources or citations. NPOV takes extraordinary effort with some biographies. Finally, comments have been deleted from this page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.198.6.16 (talk) 17:11, 22 April 2012 (UTC)

SEVERAL YEARS LATER:

Ms. Karp did not earn a doctorate at Stanford. She earned a masters' in Anthropology and not more. Once this false narrative has sat here for years, it is difficult to argue for its revision. As a graduate (Ph.D.) of Stanford's Anthropological Sciences department, I know what I am talking about.

2021 Feigned doctorate still appears. This person did not earn a doctorate at Stanford and I have that confirmed. This is part of the overall credibility problem the couple share. You will not find a doctorate from Stanford linked to this individual because they invented it.

Editcam

Editcam is a professional digital camera system manufactured by Ikegami and first introduced in 1995, available both as professional camcorders and modular dock recorders. It is the first ever tapeless field acquisition device and has evolved into a range of SD and HD cameras. As a portable camera system, it can record digital video data direct to a hard disk drive.

The Editcam's most distinguishing feature is the recording medium: the FieldPak, which is a cartridge that contains an IDE hard disk with up to 120 GB of storage, or its compatible companion, the RAMPak, a flash memory module with up to 16 GB. A 120 GB capacity FieldPak translates to some 9 hours of DV25 video. Both, unlike tape-based formats, allow random access to the video data, and both standalone videocassette recorder (VCR) replacement players and computer adaptor racks are available for the Paks. This made the Editcam a pioneer in the field of non-linear acquisition, but the earliest incarnations of the Editcam were plagued with high power consumption and weight and sold only about 50 units. These problems were addressed with the Editcam II in 1999.

The latest generation of the Editcam system, Editcam3, can record in the formats Avid JFIF, DV and optionally MPEG IMX and DVCPRO50. HDTV variants are now also available, which record in the Avid DNxHD format. Introduced at NAB 2005, the Editcam HD allows for video capture at 145 Mbit/s. Employing CMOS sensors, the camera record files natively in 1080i or 720P and at several bitrates. One of its most notable products is the HDN-X10 Editcam HD camera, which was adopted by the American Idol production company in its bid to save drive space. It is capable of storing images in full resolution on the FieldPak2 removable media using the Avid DNxHD codec in MXF file format.

The Editcam product family is a result of the development of CamCutter technology developed jointly by Ikegami and Avid Technology.

Talk:HMS Conqueror

Another ship
Hello, Thère is an other ship with the name of Conqueror. A british armed yacht HMS Conqueror (LtCdr E. M. McCausland) which have picked up 18 survivors of the british steam merchant Rhexenor on 3 february, 1943. Sorry for my bad english. Regards René

 * Do you have any documentation that references this? It's not mentioned in Colledge, could be an omission, or could be that the vessel was not an "HMS". In either case, it would be good to have a link to an article from here. Stan 16:19, 21 Feb 2005 (UTC)

 * It sounds like she might have been one of the many small ships requisitioned by the Admiralty but never formally commissioned into the Navy, especially as at this time they had the battleship HMS Conqueror in the yards, and presumably still expected to launch her at some point. They also tended to reserve the traditional 'battleship' names, like 'Conqueror' for the Navy's capital ships, hence the shuffling of names at the end of the war, where they switch names between the few major ships under construction to make sure those that ended up escaping the budget cuts and actually being launched, did so under the proudest names. I'd therefore be very surprised to see them commissioning a mere armed yacht with that name.  Oh and I see where you've got that information from now.  Uboat.net is notorious for slapping 'HMS' in front of British ships that were not entitled to the prefix, and never bore it. Benea (talk) 01:28, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

The vessel to which René refers is most likely the following:

HMS CONQUEROR (1939-45) (ex-merc Emerald, ex-Marynthia (1911))

Thames Measurement: 900 Built: 1911, Thornycroft Launched 16 Jan 1911, presumably as mercantile Marynthia

Service as A/S Yacht, from late 1939:

Pendant No as A/S Yacht: FY.006

Requisitioned circa Sep to Dec 1939 as an A/S Yacht, one of about 50 large yachts acquired to fit out nine new anti-submarine groups formed during the first three months of the war (81st to 89th A/S Groups), each group to be equipped with between four to six A/S Yachts, each vessel probably equipped with minimal armament of DCs / MGs.

Service as Coastal Auxiliary A.A. vessel, from 1941:

Pendant No as Aux. A.A. vessel: F.33

Would typically have operated in coastal / esturial waters as an AA ship, putting up an undirected AA barrage while defending the coastal convoy in her care - which might well be unable to manouver while under air attack due to the need to keep to deep water channels.

As an A.A. ship: 886 tons gross 193.5 (pp), 234.75 (oa) x 30.5 x 13.5 ft 2-shaft Reciprocating (VTE) 1,865 ihp = 15.25 k Armament: 1 x 1 x 12-pdr AA 2 x 1 x 2-pdr AA 6 x 1 x 20-mm Oerlikon AA 2 x 4 x .5-in AA 8 x 1 x .303-in MG

Returned to owners 1945.

This vessel is recorded in Lenton & Colledge "Warships of World War II", "Forward dated 1964 edition" (for want of a better description - the early 638 pp version - there have been a number of revisions since)

I haven't scoured the web to see if there are any other references out there.

However, I do also have a reference to an HMS CONQUEROR having the Pendant No 4.306, which was most likely also allocated to the above vessel at one time, but I have no further details.

The LION class battleship HMS CONQUEROR was allocated Pendant No 45 (with no Flag Superior - the practise in the 1930s/40s to reserve "no Flag" nos for modern major combatants (battleships, fleet carriers and cruisers) that were not assigned to service on foreign stations and not assigned to any Dominion Navy - ie that were available for deployment without first having to negotiate the potentially choppy waters of inter-governmental agreements) - this ship would not have been allocated any of the pendant nos. listed above, all of which were associated with auxiliaries of one sort or another during WWII.

The LION class battleships were "in the public domain" in the form of artists impressions in the media by the outbreak of war in 1939, though CONQUEROR and THUNDERER had only recently been ordered, and when announced as part of the 1939 programme earlier in the year in Parliament had not been named (this being normal practise, vessels not normally having names allocated until the funding to build them has been agreed by a vote in Parliament). Precisely when names were allocated is unclear, but either way, the CONQUEROR referred to by René would no doubt have found itself renamed had the need arisen.

One final point concerning René's CONQUEROR - Lenton & Colledge are not explicit as to whether this ship became HMS CONQUEROR because the Admiralty decided to assign that name to her, or because her then-current name as a mercantile just happened to be CONQUEROR, and was not changed when she commissioned for RN service - the latter is perhaps the most likely explanation.

Removed comment from anoym... reposted at talk page
( Something wrong here my greatgrandfather ,( AB William Shoesmith) was serving on the Conqueror from 1860 to March 1862.- I have his original cerificate of service ) 86.140.86.73 19:06, 29 November 2006 (UTC)) V. Joe 21:00, 29 November 2006 (UTC)
 * The list is accurate. The first rate Conqueror was lost on 29th December 1861. The Waterloo was renamed Conqueror on 27th February 1862. Given the short gap I'd suspect some sort of accounting practice - perhaps the gap between your great-grandfather leaving service on one ship (after she sank) to his receiving a posting on another is not mentioned. Or he was listed as serving on Conqueror as an administrative procedure for sorting pay while a berth was found elsewhere. That is that you're sure it is Conqueror he was on, and not Conquestador, which was in service between those dates? Benea (talk) 01:19, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Recent edit
I am dubious about the recent edit. Under this edit, four of the vessels have their class recorded; the previous version recorded the class of five. The most recent vessel's claim to notability has been removed. The ex-120 gun 3-decker that was cut down to a 2-decker when converted to steam does not record this.--Toddy1 (talk) 04:22, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
 * I missed the Caledonia class, it was mentioned but not linked, I'm happy to restore it. As to the other pieces of information, the ship index pages don't really go into their notability, this is left for the articles, hence battles, wars, commanders, etc, as for some ships this list could run and run. Again, specifics about the design of ships are also better explained on the articles, such as number of decks. But a mention of her being razeed and the new number of guns carried would not be a problem. Benea (talk) 04:54, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

Talk:SOSUS

Engine noise
I removed:

''In particular the widespread introduction of nuclear powered submarines meant that the sound of engines was no longer there to be heard, and instead the mechanical sounds of the motors and propellers would have to be used. To separate these sounds from the background noise of the ocean and other shipping required extensive sound processing systems to be installed.''

as diesel-electric subs are actually quieter than nuclear powered boats when submerged. The reduced noise signatures of later boats is due to a variety of technical developments, not a switch to nuclear propulsion. Dan100 15:56, Feb 21, 2005 (UTC)

 * Not sure that this is necessarily a valid point. Whereas a good diesel-electric sub is quieter than a nuclear sub when running on electric power, such a sub could not move any great distance under electric power and certainly could not transit the entire area covered by SOSUS.  A good nuclear sub IS quieter than a diesel-electric sub running on diesel power, and that's an important point. TomTheHand 15:40, May 8, 2005 (UTC)

Picture caption conflicts with article text, maybe
The article says the purpose was to cover the GIUK gap. The caption on the undersea (probably copyright violation) map shows the first sensors on the US eastern seaboard. I.e., completely out of range of the sensors. What gives? Piano non troppo (talk) 03:43, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

Someone dumped the following on the page
See https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=SOSUS&diff=595126014&oldid=593543902 By user 80.156.46.177.

Outside of US territories were a number of other USNAVFACs such as RAF Brawdy in West Wales not far from Newgale beach (later moved to RAF St. Mawgan in Cornwall), Icemaiden in Norway and Inn Keeper located in Gibraltar. Indeed the Med and Eastern side of the Atlantic had other stations for example in Iceland the US operated 5 arrays from their Airforce base known as the 5100 series arrays. In the UK the 7100 series arrays included 7116, 7115, 7114, 7113, 7112, 7111, 7123, 7122, 7121 and the Fixed Distributive System (FDS) test bed were all operated from Brawdy, with 7116 being North of the Norwegian gap facing into the Norwegian sea and frequently detecting Soviet vessels as the came around the North Cape at ranges in excess of 1,000 miles. The other arrays ran Southwards with 7123 being off the French coast. Many array's were positioned off sea mounts or the edge of the continental shelf to reduce ambiguity as signal data was received into the beam formers. This is because the hydrophones were omni directional and received sound from different directions including reflection from behind the hydrophone sensor.

The detection range was often considerable and ranges over 500 miles were both frequent and constant. The low frequency coverage from zero to 100hz meant that refraction by temperature layers was insignificant. The Soviet power supply also helped as it ran at 50 cycles (as with most merchant ships) but the West operated ships and submarines with a 60 cycle power supply. Therefore detection of 50hz and harmonics of 50 hz was easy to analyse. The low frequency coverage of the arrays allowed the maximum recorded detection range of nearly 4,000 miles to be made although at these range targets were often intermittent and usually older Soviet vessels.

USNAVFACS performance was monitored based on Stats. These stats were essentially detection times from the moment the target first showed frequency lines to the time taken to recognise and record that data. Friendly detection were included in this and these allowed crews to reduce their detection times considerably because friendly vessels issued subnotes with position course and speed details provided in advance. Therefore NAVFAC crews would position themselves around the beams where the vessel would first show, and make a quick detection call to reduce stats. It was common to have a single operator standing by the beams and a second stood by a console with half of the data already entered in the system, such that when the first lines showed, the second operator merely pressed the enter button and detection was recorded as just a few seconds. For Soviet vessels their sailing times, course and speeds were also shared through intellegence updates and were also generally accurate enough to do the same trick when recording stats.

Inside the NAVFACs were banks of paper recorders known as LOFAR grams. These recorders were called fountain displays as the stylus printed the first frequency line along the bottom of the page, and subsequent lines below it thus pushing the paper trace upwards in a fountain movement. Detecting a single or multiple set of frequencies lines as the paper came up over the roller was the objective so stats could be recorded quickly to keep detection times low. The lowest frequency would be towards the left hand side of the paper. The recorders were set in banks corresponding to the number of beams on any given array. For example 40 and 32 beam arrays were common, and this meant that a single array could have 40 paper recorders in a line from beam 1 to beam 40. Each beam had an approximate bearing angle, although sound would often show on multiple beams at the same time. Cross detection from 2 or more arrays was always preferred - although not often possible - as this would give a cross bearing and almost instantaneous range to the target. The operators would walk the beams studying frequency lines as they printed, and most arrays had two or more operators plus supervisors walking the beams to minimise missing targets.

The arrays and corresponding recorders would show prinicpally narrow band frequency tonals related to either mechanical noise from the vessel or flow resonance due to the vessel moving through the water. From a mechanical perspective it was possible to see blade rates, turbine rates, the number of poles on motors and other such detail. The flow rates and mechanical rates were used to identify a given hull of a specific class. However the arrays also detected biological noise such as Whales and other marine species, along with wideband/broadband noise. The arrays would also detect seismic activity as very low frequency lines. The arrays would also detect low flying aircraft such as MPA (Maritime Patrol Aircraft) and indeed the prop or turbine speed could be calculated from the frequency detected leading to classification of the aircraft.

A basic Soviet submarine signature could consist of, 50 cycle power supplies, with a 6 pole ships services turbo generator rein-enforcing the harmonics at 300 hz (6x50), supplemented by gearing lines and propulsion lines. Therefore a Soviet type 2/3 nuclear submarine with a planetary gearing system and a reduction ration of 17.02:1 at 8knots would show a shaft rate of 52 hz a blade rate (5 bladed) of 10.4 hz, a turbine rate of 177hz. The sun gear, planets and ring gear mesh rates would also show on occasions. Additionally pumps, flow induced resonance and other discrete tonal could be detected particularly at close range. Needless to say all vessels had their own signature and most hull numbers within a class were also known. The Soviet type 2 and 3 had the same propulsion system but were different vessels. The type 2 Charlie/Victor classes were SSGN and SSN and the type 3 Yankee and Delta classes with SSBNs. The type 2 was a single shaft and the type 3 two shafted vessels. Most were 5 bladed although some older vessels had 4 blades and some newer Victor III had 7 blades.

During the 1980's the Soviets sent 5 Victor III submarines across the Atlantic towards the US Eastern seaboard on an exercise. Of interest was hull 9 which had undergone some significant noise reducion measures during a recent refit.

All vessels were detected both from Iceland’s arrays and through Brawdy in Wales (UK) before being handed over the arrays State side. Hull 9 was very quiet but at speeds below 6 knots became invisible to the arrays apart from two principally FIRs (flow induced resonance) frequency lines. The significance of these lines was that one was port side and the other starboard side and became separately more pronounced with speeds below 6 knows and if the vessel turned. Therefore when showing we not only knew that the vessel was below 6 knots but if she turned we could tell if it was to starboard or port. Above 6 knows she became much louder and as she increased speed the FIRs disappeared to be replaced by other more noisy lines. I recently watched a TV programme where a Soviet military officer spoke of the exercise and stated that these vessesl crossed the Atlantic undetected. This wasn't true all vessels were tracked continually although hull 9 was difficult to track on accasions. Had the requirement to take out the vessels occurred then this would have happened quickly.

In a second incident a lone Soviet type 2 Victor III sailed from the Northern fleet base and travels to the med. For the entire 3 months she was tracked without loss and at specific times she was bounced by NATO MPAs who were guided to the vessel by IUSS. The vessel would be located by the MPA who would either drop a cammand activated sonar bouy on the vessels position or would fly low over the area and thus be heard by the vessel where she would know she had been detected.

I watched this vessel in the Norwegian sea as she left Murmansk and rounded North Cape. She was handed over by a US Nuclear submarine (USS Dallas) to a British towed array ship and NAVFAC Iceland) the British vessel held steady contact 120 miles South West of the submarine and guilded a Nimrod MPA from the RAF on to the target. The aircraft stayed on task for around 1 hour before breaking off, then returned every 4 hours. Each time the aircraft would drop an active sonar bouy on the submarine to let them know they had been detected. Each time the aircraft went off task the submarine would increase speed to 30 knots (sprint) and head South to clear the area. This continued for 3 months. I always felt sorry for the Captain and crew of the vessel assuming they had no idea how they were being detected.

Integrated Undersea Surveillance System
I removed a link in the opening to the article "Integrated Undersea Surveillance System", since that article redirected to this one. Perhaps a better solution would be to retain the link, and delete the redirect, so the link here will be red until that article is started?? SlowJog (talk) 21:29, 8 March 2014 (UTC)

Weird present tense in the Chronology section
Is there any reason for the bizarre use of present tense in the chronology section? It's used inconsistently, is jarring to read, and doesn't make much sense. If there's no objection I might edit all of it out if I have the time and/or inclination. Brightnsalty (talk) 21:06, 20 January 2021 (UTC)
 * What "bizarre" use bothers you? Chronologies often flow with an "at this time this happened" style. To a large degree the text here paraphrases and maintains the style of the references. I would warn you that a real problem has occurred with some "grammatical changes" that changed the substantial meaning because the grammarian did not research references and understand the subject. The changes leading to the 01:37, 30 November 2020 revision was a reword driven by such a change. Getting rid of inconsistent tense or jarring points is fine, changing meaning is not. One problem that I recognize is that the chronology is a compromise between the bullet style of the early declassified history (when the less said was better) and more extensive later discussions of those events. Palmeira (talk) 21:33, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

 * It should be written in past tense, period. A bulleted list making use of the present tense would probably be acceptable, but there should be no compromise on accepted style guidelines. WP Ludicer (talk) 21:47, 13 April 2021 (UTC)
