Gift tax is not an issue for most people. The person who makes the gift files the gift tax return, if necessary, and pays any tax. If someone gives you more than the annual gift tax exclusion amount ($14,000 in 2015 and 2016), the giver must file a gift tax return. That still doesnât mean they owe gift tax. For example, say someone gives you $20,000 in one year, and you and the giver are both single. The giver must file a gift tax return, showing an excess gift of $6,000 ($20,000 â $14,000 exclusion = $6,000). Each year, the amount a person gives other people over the annual exclusion accumulates until it reaches the lifetime gift tax exclusion.
What is Tip-of-the-Tongue Phenomenon? Tip-of-the-tongue phenomenon is the subjective feeling that people have of being confident that they know the target word for which they are searching, yet they cannot recall this word. They are somewhat able to recall words of similar sounds and meaning, but never the actual word they are seeking.
(Hint: itâs not just about smelling). Figure 1. Illustration of the externally visible landmarks which were digitized: the right tip of the tongue, the left tip of the tongue, the point of bifurcation of the fork, the midtongue, and the posteriormost visible point of the tongue. It has long been thought that snakes flick their tongues in order to âsmellâ their environments. However, is this the only reason for the seemingly-constant snake tonguing? To see what else snakes might be up to with all that lingual action, these biologists recorded snake tongues with four high-speed video cameras and reconstructed a 3D model of the tongue in motion. This detailed investigation revealed that the snakes actually perform two types of tongue flick: one for smelling things in the air, and another that seems optimized for tasting objects on the ground. The function of oscillatory tongue-flicks in snakes: insights from kinematics of tongue-flicking in the banded water snake (Nerodia fasciata).
