Port Arthur Videos Exposing Government Coverup
A series of videos compiled by www.sosnews.org we have selected as evidence to the people of Australia that the Port Arthur shooting was not cut and dried as your government would have we the people believe. To suggest mentally challenged Martin Bryant with very low IQ, and the intellect of a nine year old child could out shoot any trained military marksmen alone raises a false flag. Further , one of hundreds of pertinent questions must be – "how did Bryant manage this alleged skill and accuracy as a left handed person when witnesses inside the cafe collectively state the shooter was right handed?
Several of these videos are from VHS tape era before MP4 and DVD, which have been copied with clarity definition suffering. It is content audio that is critical listening to form your opinion to evidence and testimony presented.
*This video is a must view of content by professional radio presenters and great footage from vewry detaile investigation?
Police and Political spin doctoring at it's best here….
*Tasmanian Coroner declared Martin Bryant NOT GUILTY?
* Convicted criminal & Barristers John Avery's intimidating letter to gunsmith witness Terry Hill?
Viewers comments on this video: — I guess it was just PURE LUCK little Tassie just happened to have 700 journalists from around the world, 70 American tourists ready to head out to the Isle of the Dead… a trauma seminar at the hospital which was about to finish… top staff members moved to the safety of a 2 day seminar just 2 hours before…a code BROWN in place at the hospital just 2 days prior, a broken exit door from the café, oh and what about that poor bugga who stood up and shouted to the gunman 'NO..NO…NOT HERE'…the BMW happened to get burnt so no finger prints (oh, was it a manual or auto??), the weapons used just happened to be stuffed after the fire, the killer's video camera just happened to vanish, 20 gunshots recorded as bloody coughs while Bryant was on phone to police negotiator, 80 of Bryant's comments magically become INAUDIBLE in the recordings of police interview (gosh I hope they got special funding for new recording equipment after that incompetence). The list goes on…………. but thank goodness Tassie was READY FOR THE INCIDENT! 🙂 they even thought a year ahead to get a new morgue truck, and buy back the Broad Arrow Café & didn't bother to fix a 'broken' exit door in all that time?…smart people these Tassies!
Fiction being bandied as facts were not available from this covert government agenda to our Muppet Media dancing the tune of their political masters. Nothing has changed.
These two videos are of a conference held at Inverell NSW attended by concerned Australians while void of mainstream media in fear of challenge to their scripted encounters also void of facts.by

10. Dayton Audio 2-Way Tower Speaker
The 6 ½" woofers produce a great bass line sound. You can hear the lowest low notes without any trouble. The technology included in these tower speakers produces a bass sound down to 45 Hz.
Then the polycarbonate tweeter uses ferrofluid cooling to make sure your high notes are clear and easy to listen to. Measuring only 17 x 11.7 x 30.6 inches approx., these speakers should not dominate the room they are placed in.
Another bonus is that they work on any channel and can be made part of a surround sound system. They are also flexible enough to work with any receiver or amp. The only drawback to these speakers is the overall sound quality. You may need to make a few adjustments to get the sound you like.

This speaker stands quite tall coming in at 10.7 x 9 x 35 inches approx. Its tall size shouldn't detract from the décor of the room and blend in nicely.

8. Echo Smart speaker with Alexa – Charcoal Fabric
This speaker may not be very tall, measuring only 5.8" x 3.4" x 3.4", but it produces a great sound with its 2 ½ inch woofer and under 1" tweeter. It also gives you Dolby quality and a great bass line. Plus, it can send sound out in all directions at the same time.
But what makes this speaker stand out and worthy to be on this list is its smart features. It is compatible with Alexis and you no longer have to get up from the sofa to make any adjustments.
Alexis will play music, fine-tune the audio, check the weather and sports reports and more. All with the sound of your voice. Its 7 noise canceling microphones lets Alexis hear you from anywhere in the room and when the music is playing.
You can even order pizza through your speaker. One drawback is that there may be some lag time between command and Alexis' response. You also need wifi and an Amazon account.

One drawback for this speaker is that it comes in a plastic case. Another is that there are a few glitches with the overall operation and the dancing light feature.
5. SYKIK Wireless 2.1 tower speaker
If you are up on the latest technology, then you will welcome this tower speaker into your home. You get a lot more than the 5 ¼" subwoofer and 2 3" drivers when you purchase this unit.
The control panel has LED readout, touch screen flexibility and has ports for both an Sd card and USB connection. Along with those features you also get RCA AUX jacks and FM radio compatibility.
With the remote control, you can separately control both the bass and treble sounds. Plus, you can wirelessly connect to any Bluetooth equipped device. You will find a couple of drawbacks that come with this 8 x 6.5 x 30-inch tower speaker.

The ported speaker system makes sure you do not suffer from distortion or other side effects that come with playing loud music.
While these speakers sound great, there are a couple of drawbacks to the system. First, they have to be connected to a receiver to work. They are not wireless equipped. Second, their size may not allow them to fit in all living situations. They just may be a little big for some apartments or rooms.
2. Polk Audio Signature Home Theater Tower Speaker
This tower speaker does a lot more than produce great sounding music. It works well for television shows, movies and other audio performances. The secret to its success is the 2 6 ½" woofers and the little 1" tweeter. These speakers make sure you hear all the noted.
The other technological positives are the 8 Ohm impedance and the 2500 Hz crossover. You also get 5-way gold plated binding posts for multiple wire and amp connections. Then its power port system brings out the bass to its richest and fullest sound.
The speaker stands at 12.5 x 11.7 x 41.5 inches and should fit comfortably in any room. One of the drawbacks to this speaker is that its sound levels may not match up or surpass its competitors. Another is that it is not Bluetooth compatible.
A third is that shipping issues arise, and you may not get what you ordered.
1. Sylvania RED Bluetooth Floor Standing Tower Speaker
Like its other colored tower speakers, this unique speaker system comes with a lot of extras that make it a worthwhile tower speaker to own. Its push-button control panel is easy to use and is located at the top of the speaker for easy access.
But if you do not want to get up to make adjustments, then you can just turn to the included remote control and make the adjustments you need. Plus, it is Bluetooth compatible, with easy connection to other Bluetooth equipped devices.
You also can hook up to non-Bluetooth compatible devices through the AUX jack option. The unit stands 20.5 x 6 x 6 in size and is small enough to fit in all rooms needing a sound boost.
The drawback to this unit is that it is not a new product. It has been refurbished to make it like new. You can take your chances with this one if you want.
Some advantages of using tower speakers
Depending on your situation, there are some definite advantages of using tower speakers over other types of speaker systems. Here are a few of those advantages:

MPs and Peers question BBC on how the Corporation sees and covers rugby league
Three of the most senior people involved in BBC sport visited the Palace of Westminster to discuss rugby league. BBC Trust Chairman Rona Fairhead OBE, Head of BBC Head of Sport Barbara Slater OBE, and BBC TV Sport Editor Alastair McIntyre spoke to the Parliamentary Rugby League Group about the role and strategy the organisation takes in covering rugby league, and how the corporation views the sport.
The meeting looked at the coverage of rugby league by the BBC across all media. A short video was shown to provide an overview of BBC coverage, which seeks to engage as wide an audience as possible with the game. In particular, the discussion focused on the BBC's innovative approach, including the use of player mics, which has allowed the game to reach a far greater audience across a variety of media platforms.
As well as praising the work of the BBC Rugby League team and BBC Sport's clear commitment to rugby league, it was also raised how much correspondence the Group receives on the BBC's coverage of the game across all its platforms, noting that it is far more than any other single subject.
The Trust, led by Cumbrian-born Fairhead, is the governing body of the BBC, charged with ensuring the BBC delivers its mission to inform, educate and entertain. It is the final arbiter on complaints made to the BBC. Specific complaints were raised during the meeting which focused on missing coverage of major national rugby league events in news broadcasts across the corporation, the use of "rugby" when they mean rugby union and the attitude of presenters on flagship radio programme Today. The Group will ensure those complaints, and others, are passed to Fairhead's office.
The Group welcomed news that a dedicated rugby league correspondent will be employed by the BBC from 2017 and it is hoped that with the new position, omissions on news programmes and online will ensure the game receives the recognition it deserves and both codes of rugby are referred to appropriately.
Thanking the speakers after what was a passionate meeting, Greg Mulholland said:
"On behalf of the Group, I was very pleased Rona Fairhead and Barbara Slater agreed to speak to us; rugby league and the BBC have been synonymous over the years and we thank Barbara and her team for their ongoing work. The BBC rugby league team do a fantastic job and are hugely passionate about what they do. It was great to hear from Alastair in more detail about the way they cover rugby league and the innovations that have introduced in coverage.
"However, as Members made clear in the meeting, we cannot help but be disappointed in some ways the game is treated within the corporation outside of BBC Sport, particular across BBC news and online. Amongst London based news editors there is clearly an institutional blind eye to rugby league which is one of the most popular team sports in the country. On one particularly stark example the recent England victory over New Zealand was not even mentioned in a news bulletin, which is both bizarre and disgraceful.
The meeting was therefore a very useful opportunity for this and specific issues to be raised before the Chairman of the BBC Trust to understand the depth of feeling across the game and how this might be addressed."
"We recognise there are challenges in the broadcast and news market, but when you consider the scale of rugby league in the UK all we ask is for our sport to get an appropriate level of coverage. We are very grateful to Rona, Barbara and Alastair for their time and we look forward to working with them and the BBC to the benefit of rugby league".

Ja Rule and tech entrepreneur Billy McFarland have been hit with a US$100 million lawsuit after their shambolic Fyre Festival disaster.
TMZ are also reporting the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism has banned the pair from doing business in the country.
Fyre Festival was billed as a luxurious high-end music festival with "a stunning sunset, a Bahamian menu and champagne toast," and a "yacht brunch party" but was instead an unorganised shambles, with refugee tents slumped on the coastline, inadequate food, and cancelled musical performances. Attendees were reportedly trapped for hours, given horrible cheese sandwiches – and Ja Rule didn't even show!
A class-action lawsuit was promptly filed by trial lawyer Mark Geragos in the US District Court for the Central District of California, with an anticipated 150 participants.
Jung is "accusing the organisers of fraud, breach of contract, breach of covenant of good faith, and negligent misrepresentation", according to Business Insider.
"More troublingly", the lawsuit states, "Mr. McFarland and Mr. Atkins began personally reaching out to performers and celebrities in advance of the festival and warned them not to attend — acknowledging the fact that the festival was outrageously under-equipped and potentially dangerous for anyone in attendance.
"Nevertheless, defendants refused to warn attendees about the dangerous conditions awaiting them on the island. Defendants only 'canceled' the event on the morning of the first day — after thousands of attendees had already arrived and were stranded, without food, water, or shelter."

Here's an interesting anecdote:
We rented a baby scale several weeks back to help us with baby's weight-gain problems. When the time came to return it, I vacillated on whether or not to rent it for another week - but the added cost made me decide to send it back instead.
When my husband mentioned my hesitation to the breastfeeding-shop owner, he (the shop-owner) said that it was probably a good thing for us to return it - because he has seen mothers develop unhealthy attachments to their baby scales, something akin to an addition. They start weighing their babies compulsively (and constantly) and have a really hard time parting with the scale. He said that he had one woman keep her scale for nine months, and only returned it after her husband forced the issue (he called the store and begged them to ask for it back).
Of course, none of this applies to me. I was only weighing baby three or four times during a feeding, and maybe twice in between feedings - nothing excessive, you see. And I would only have kept the scale for another week or two - or six months at the outside. Really. And I'm only hyperventilating slightly at having had to return it. And I can easily visit the breastfeeding store without wandering near the baby scale section. More than once or twice, that is. Mmmm.... Baby scales.
But I don't have a problem. Really.
Thoughts, musings and information on homebirth midwifery and natural childbirth.

I think all mothers can understand wanting to know that their child is thriving. Numbers can suddenly be a big deal. One of my daughters had to have supplements the first couple weeks because of weight gain issues.ReplyDelete

Family vacations can serve many purposes. They can be the perfect way to reconnect as a family as a break from busy, hectic schedules. They can be a conduit to learning about different cultures and meeting new people. They can be a way to have an exciting adventure. And, they can be a way to just have a fabulous time together.
At Beaches Turks and Caicos, an all-inclusive resort located on the Caribbean island of Providenciales, families can enjoy a little bit of all of these things.
Over the past year, I've visited Beaches Turks and Caicos twice – once solo, and once with my family. This resort is truly the model for what a family resort can be, with activities and amenities that appeal to everyone from toddlers to adults.
Disclosure: My first three night stay at Beaches was complimentary as part of an event. Our second seven-night stay was at our own expense. All opinions are my own.
A Guide to Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort
Recovery of Beaches Turks and Caicos
Many readers may know that in September 2017, Hurricane Irma devastated parts of the Caribbean. While Turks and Caicos, including Beaches Resort, was hit by the hurricane, the resort has made a fantastic recovery and is welcoming families back.
If I didn't know about the hurricane, I never would have known about it based upon the appearance of the resort. It's definitely ready for families to enjoy again.
Arriving At Beaches Resort Turks and Caicos
Upon landing at the tiny Providenciales airport, you'll deplane through an outdoor ramp that is wheeled over to your plane. Once you go through immigration and customs and claim your luggage, you'll walk out of the small airport to the outdoors.
Head to the left, and you'll see a Beaches welcome area. There, you'll be guided to your transfer to the airport.
The total trip is about 15 minutes, and I only waited a few minutes to board a van. These are small vans, not buses, so they are constantly running. The vans make stops at each village, so you'll be exactly where you need to be when you arrive.
Checking in was simple. I was offered a complimentary beverage when I arrived (alcoholic and non-alcoholic are options), and after filling out a little bit of information, I received my key.
On our second trip, we arrived pretty early in the morning and our room wasn't ready. We were guided towards a changing facility, where we shed our winter garb and changed into something more beach appropriate.
We were able to go for lunch, and then our room was ready when we were finished.
If you may arrive earlier than check in time, it's a good idea to put some clothes in an easily accessible spot so you can quickly find them and change.
Butler Service and Concierge Service
As you book your stay at Beaches Turks and Caicos, you'll see that butler or concierge service is included with some of the rooms These services are absolutely not necessary, but do add some additional services to your stay.
For instance, those with butler service may have reserved areas at the pools and beach, can access room service, and get private transfers to the airport and luggage packing and unpacking services, in addition to many other luxury services.
Note that while tipping isn't expected throughout the resort, butlers are one of the few exceptions (spa employees are another exception).
My room had concierge service added, and while I didn't really take advantage of it, there were definitely some great benefits. These include access to the concierges to book the reservation-only restaurant, daily snorkeling trips, a Dad and Me basketball shootout, a concierge lounge, and restocking of in-room bars.
Upon arrival, I received a menu with different wine options. I could choose as many of those as I wanted, and they were delivered a few minutes later. Guests without concierge also get the option for two bottles of wine, but they aren't generally restocked.
Beaches Turks and Caicos Rooms
Booking a room at Beaches may seem a bit complicated, because there are so many options. In fact, there are 44 room categories offered. A number of "villages" comprise the resort, including Key West, Italian Village, French Village, Seaside Villas, and Caribbean Village. These areas all have décor matching their theme.
It's very easy to move among the villages, however, so think more about where you want to stay and less about where you think you'll be spending the night. The walk throughout the villages is very easy.
Room types include villas, family suites, and individual rooms. You may not be spending too much time in your room, so keep that in mind as you decide what type of room to book.
If you are traveling with grandparents, a villa is a great option. These accommodations, located in the Key West section, include kitchens and washer/dryer facilities.
While you won't need the kitchen, since the resort is an all-inclusive, it's so nice to have the washer/dryer. I was able to wash all of my clothes on my last night and returned home with a suitcase full of clean clothes.
Room amenities do vary based upon the room type and village area, but include complimentary WiFi (higher speed WiFi is available at an additional cost), coffee maker, clock radios, televisions, satellite television, and air conditioning.
I was able to use the complimentary WiFi with no issues, but if you have to work during your vacation, it may be worthwhile to pay for the upgrade.
For our second stay, we booked a French Village Luxury Walkout Double. This room contained two double beds as well as a chair that pulled out into a single bed. As a "walkout", we also had a small patio with two chairs and a table.
Room amenities for this particular room included a coffee maker, safe, television (with some, but not all US stations), small table, chair, and stocked refrigerator.
Daily, the refrigerator was restocked with soda, water, juices, and beer. This is one of the least expensive room categories, but was still very comfortable for our family.
Things to Do at Beaches Resort Turks and Caicos: Activities and Amenities
I could do an entirely separate article about things to do at Beaches, because there truly is so much. Of course, as you'd expect, the beach is a big part of the draw here. Located on Grace Bay, the beach is filled with lounge chairs and umbrellas so you could really spend a full day there.
While the January water was a bit chilly, even for this Bostonian, I did still cool off a bit in the sea. If you don't want to swim, it's nice to even just sit and read a book as you enjoy the gorgeous turquoise waters.
Beverage service is sometimes available at the beach, but food generally isn't. It's pretty easy to head back up to one of the restaurants for a quick break before enjoying an afternoon on the water.
We especially enjoyed setting up at the far end of the beach by the Jerk Shack. Then, we'd head up for a quick lunch.
Water sports are also available, including scuba diving (for certified divers), snorkeling, aquatrikes, paddle boarding, kayaks, and much more. Unlike other all-inclusive resorts, motorized water sports are included at Beaches.
All of this is dependent upon beach conditions – if it's a red or yellow flag day, options will be limited. If your family enjoys water sports, this is definitely a huge benefit.
On one day, my husband and daughter got a kayak and paddled around in the water. Another day, we got snorkels and walked a short distance to the reef. We saw turtles, rays, and so many fish during our brief snorkeling excursion.
If you'd prefer to do a longer water excursion or other water sports that aren't included in your stay, there are several desks where you can book a trip. These are offered at an additional fee.
Prefer to explore the waterpark? You'll find three large water slides, two medium slides, several small slides, a lazy river, a surf simulator, as well as other water activities. There's also a fun little kids' swim up bar. Everything is right there and included in your stay. Regardless of where you are staying, it's just a short walk.
Staying in the French Village, we were so close to the water park. We never spent the whole day at the park, preferring to spend an hour daily.
There are also a whole bunch of pools on property. We counted five, including four large pools (French Village, Italian Village, Iguana's bar, and the Caribbean Village), and two smaller ones in the Key West Village.
The water in the pools was so warm, and we enjoyed spending so much time in them. Some of the pools had swim up bars and other activities, like water volleyball.
Kids ages 0-17 years can spend some time in the kids camps. Little ones (up to 4 years) can enjoy Camp Sesame, which is open from 9am to 9pm (with 2 hour long breaks). The regular kids camp is available for kids 5-10 from 9am to 9pm.
There's also a tween and teen club for older kids. If you need babysitting outside of the scope and/or hours of the kids' clubs, sitters are offered at an additional price.
There's plenty of entertainment each day and night. Little kids will especially love all of the Sesame Street characters and events that are offered as part of the Caribbean Adventure with Sesame Street. A schedule was placed in my room each evening with a listing of the next day's events.
Some of the offerings over the week included a Turks and Caicos culture night (complete with a Fire Dance spectacle), a Sesame Street parade, live musical entertainment, shows, poolside activities, a Beach Party, and a Fish Fry event.
Each week, there are four themed musical theater shows performed on property, and twice a week, local artists and merchants set up booths with their wares for you to purchase.
Several days per week, they offer tie dye. You can purchase a white shirt in the gift shop, or bring your own from home.
We attended the fish fry event and loved the food. It's set up by the Caribbean Village lobby, and included a full buffet of food as well as a bar. The Friday night beach party is also lots of fun, with Sesame Street entertainment, a buffet, bars, activities, music, and vendors.
Beaches also includes lots of other activities and amenities, including the Red Lane Spa (services offered at an additional fee), fitness centers, tennis, volleyball, lawn chess, basketball, and more. You can also borrow games from the resort.
In addition to the vendor fairs, there's lots of other shopping to be done at the resort. There are boutiques, gift shops, a jewelry shop, and a candy store with some Build a Bear products.
Family photos are offered at the resort, and lots of families take advantage of that opportunity. There's an additional fee to purchase them, but the sitting is free. If you want to do this, you may want to pack outfits for the pictures.
The highlight of my trip was the Reading Road Trip. We had the opportunity to bring some of our favorite books to read to local school children. I brought along Make Way for Ducklings, a book that takes place in Boston. As I read to them, I answered some questions about Boston and the US (they were fascinated by the idea of snow), and learned about their lives.
It's absolutely a worthwhile detour on your family vacation – learn more about it here. (Note – if you go, the kids were especially interested in getting coloring books, so bring some along to give them).
During our second trip, we were unable to do the reading road trip because the schools were closed for midterms. We still wanted to give back, so we decided to Pack for a Purpose.
After reading the wish list, we purchased school supplies like construction paper, scissors, and crayons, and packed them in our suitcase. Upon arriving at the resort, we dropped them off at the front desk.
Restaurants At Beaches
As an all-inclusive resort, Beaches makes sure that you'll never go hungry. There are 22 specialty dining concepts scattered throughout the resort, all with different cuisines and themes. Several of them are slightly more upscale, and a few offer adult-only dining experiences.
A few require resort evening apparel – so pack long pants and nice shirts if you want to be able to eat at these spots. In most cases, you can just walk up to the restaurant you'll want to dine at, although Kimonos, the teppanyaki restaurant, requires reservations (and is definitely worthwhile).
If you want to eat at Kimonos, make your reservations when you arrive for the greatest availability.
There are enough restaurants that you could easily try something different each night. Cuisines include Japanese, Caribbean, Italy, and Indian. It's fun to wake up in the morning and think about the various cuisines you can try throughout the day. Our favorite restaurants were the following:
Barefoot by the Sea: This outdoor restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner in a casual (and sandy) environment. My favorite dish was the fish tacos at lunch.
Arizona's: We loved lunch here, with a built your own taco grill located right by the beach.
Mario's: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner with an Italian buffet for dinner on the weekends.
Soy: Delicious sushi for dinner (we went there twice, and could have returned another time!)
The Jerk Shack: This casual, open air shack serves fish, pork, and chicken. This was my favorite lunch on property, and the perfect stop if you are spending the day at the beach.
Neptunes: Our favorite breakfast – my kids loved the vanilla bean pancakes, and I loved the avocado toast.
Schooners: This beautiful beach front restaurant serves breakfast and dinner. Dinner is mostly seafood specialities, although my kids loved the chicken.
We also loved Cafe de Paris for coffee in the morning and desserts during the day, Bobby Dees for ice cream, popcorn, and cotton candy, and the Mr. Mac food truck in the water park for deep fried mac bites.
One thing I did notice is the lack of quick healthy snacks. There's popcorn, ice cream, and desserts, but in general, finding healthy snacks was a little difficult.
As the mom of a child with food allergies, I'm always concerned with how resorts handle dietary restrictions. I was impressed with how well Beaches handles food allergies. The servers always asked about allergies before taking orders, and we able to accommodate requests.
There's also a culinary concierge who can assist with special requests – especially if your allergies make it challenging to order off the menu.
What Else to Know for a Stay at Beaches
You won't need to tip employees at Beaches Turks and Caicos (they simply don't accept tips), so you really won't need to bring too much cash along with you for tips (note that spa staff and butlers do accept tips). The currency in Turks and Caicos is US dollars, and you may want to have cash if you plan to purchase from the local vendors who set up for the craft show, the Beach Party, and the Fish Fry.
There are no ATMs on property. Electrical outlets are the same as those in the United States, (120 volts, 60 cycle) so converters aren't necessary if you are American. A nurse if available from 8am-10pm, if necessary.
When it's time to return back to the Providenciales Airport, Beaches Resort will arrange for your complimentary transportation. The day before my departure, I had a form in my room listing all of the departures from the Providenciales Airport. Next to each flight was a time that your shuttle would be.
Since there aren't too many flights per day, it was easy to see the time I needed to depart. Your time will be pretty early, since you'll need to arrive well in advance for your international flight. Keep in mind that there's only one place to eat at the small airport, so eat before your departure if you can.
Guests staying in Key West Village are picked up at that lobby, while guests of the other villages are picked up at the departure lounge. Late check outs can sometimes be arranged for an additional fee.
Otherwise, there are facilities available at the departure lounge so you can change. Lockers are available in the departure lounge, but you'll want to bring along your own lock if you plan to use them.

Check out our video here:
Closure of Beaches Turks and Caicos: Is Beaches Turks and Caicos closing?
You may have heard rumors/news about Beaches Turks and Caicos closing indefinitely. I received the following statement from Beaches:
"Beaches Turks and Caicos Resort recently announced several intermittent date closures in 2019, 2020 and for an indefinite period in 2021. It is important to note that this decision has been one of the most difficult we have had to ever make, as we care deeply for this island and hold great affection for the people of Turks and Caicos.
We felt it our duty and responsibility to circulate accurate data in regard to this complex issue. It is important to note that we do not owe any money in unpaid taxes. We have always fully observed, complied and met our tax obligations on time and to the letter. We punctually and properly pay taxes according to the law and our track record is exceptional.
Much to the contrary, as it stands, we are currently owed monies in over paid taxes. We are heartened that the government is trying to resolve this issue on a fast track basis to which they have our full and complete cooperation."

First Apple iPad reviews positive
With only two days to go until the official launch of the eagerly anticipated Apple iPad the first American reviews of newspapers are very positive.
The Wall Street Journal calls it "pretty close" to being a laptop killer and the New York Times takes a unique approach by reviewing the iPad for two audiences: techies and non-techies.
The New York Times:
The iPad is so fast and light, the multitouch screen so bright and responsive, the software so easy to navigate, that it really does qualify as a new category of gadget. Some have suggested that it might make a good goof-proof computer for technophobes, the aged and the young; they're absolutely right.
The New York Times was particularly impressed by the ease of the new gadget from Apple. "Some have said that the iPad a good computer for non-techies, and they were absolutely right."
USA Today:
The first iPad is a winner. It stacks up as a formidable electronic-reader rival for Amazon's Kindle. It gives portable game machines from Nintendo and Sony a run for their money. At the very least, the iPad will likely drum up mass-market interest in tablet computing in ways that longtime tablet visionary and Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates could only dream of. …
Even the longer-known disadvantages such as lack of Flash and the absence of a camera on the front mentioned in the reviews. For techies, the iPad is "basically a gigantic iPod touch.
Check out the ABC News video hands-on with the iPad below. The iPad will be delivered from April 3 to U.S. customers. Do you want one of these things or not?

Chronic pain is a result of a variety of physiological, psychological and social processes. It is pain that lasts for a very long time. To get used to the pain you can not, but because it again brings discomfort to the patient's life. With the presence of chronic pain, different people cope in different ways, but, in principle, possible options for the behavior of patients can be divided into two types.
The first type of behavior. A person experiencing chronic pain, resigns himself to her, and continues to lead a normal life, without noticing it.
The second type of behavior. People with chronic pain feels very seriously ill, requires greater attention from loved ones, too protects himself, devotes a lot of time to rest, relieve themselves of some very difficult (in their view) the obligation, etc. This behavior in the first place, causing more depression in the patient, and secondly significantly complicates the treatment.
Chronic pain and depression often largely coincide for the reason that they have the same nerve cells in the brain depend on the same neurotransmitter. After all, what is pain? A reaction to the impending danger, the impulse spreads throughout the nervous tissue.
Experiencing chronic pain, the patient is in a constant state of tension and stress, which also contributes to the development of depression.
Because depression and chronic pain are so closely intertwined, then treat them comprehensively. As a rule, medical treatment includes anti-depressants, and specially designed and individually tailored exercise facilities.

'Infrastructure shortage barrier to reducing housing deficit'
Lookman Oshodi is the Project Director, Arctic Infrastructure and member of the technical committee for 2018 Guangzhou International Award for Urban Innovation. In this interview with BERTRAM NWANNEKANMA, he gives an insight on the way out of the housing problems bedeviling the country.
What do you consider as the best approach in tackling the nation's housing deficits?
The first step is for the states to key into the existing housing policy of the Federal Government and make adjustments to reflect their own priorities in housing. Capacity building across the board is very important to understanding the dynamics of housing in Nigeria. For instance, while Gombe State may not necessarily set housing as its top most agenda, Ogun State needs the understanding that by virtue of its location, it stands to produce the most viable, accessible and large scale housing market not just in Nigeria but the entire West African sub region. Many states require the involvement of local governments to play active roles in housing delivery process.
In the area of funding, a number of initiatives are coming up to make funding accessible, but currently they are disconnected from one another. There is also the need for that cohesive approach that will bring all funding initiatives together and sensitise them to housing providers in Nigeria on the ease of accessibility and the benefits.
What roles can infrastructure play in addressing the nation's housing deficits?
The success of any housing system rests majorly on the supporting infrastructure. Housing will remain inadequate qualitatively and quantitatively, if infrastructure is absent. Over the years, the deficit quantum of housing in Nigeria has remained stagnated at between 17 to 20 million, depending on where you are getting the figure. This could be more because majority of housing available lacked critical adequate housing indicator and infrastructure.
A well-developed infrastructure, comprising good transportation system, water and sanitation, energy, healthcare, education and connecting technology among others will attract tremendous investments into the housing sector. It reduces the production cost of housing, increases supply of units, improves land value around housing, creates better physical and economic accessibility for the beneficiaries, improves social and environmental quality of Nigerians and improves the nation's prosperity index. If well conceptualized, planned, executed and delivered, infrastructure is a backbone of reducing housing deficit in Nigeria.
According to a survey, Nigeria needs about N10.63tn ($67bn) to tackle infrastructure gap. What role should private sector play in meeting the huge financial outlay?
The private sector has significant role to play in attracting funding for Nigerian infrastructure needs. In any infrastructure investment market, private sector possesses ability to navigate the complex market and rapid turnaround period. Whether on or off the investment road show, private sector has comparable advantage in attracting infrastructure funding, especially when funding partners are gradually realising that state led infrastructure in many cities in Sub Saharan Africa are not fully yielding the desired results.
In Nigeria, the private sector had made huge funding commitment to infrastructure development. Majority of housing in Nigeria are the products of private capital, the fledging energy sector currently relies on funding from the private sector while infrastructure for tax model is being introduced in the road sector. All these are considerable history of private sector financing of infrastructure and pointer of interest to make further contributions.
However, for private sector to make effective contributions, government must play substantial enabling role and create accountability platform that will draw private sector funding. At this stage, the Nigeria needs to be very clear on the type of economic model it wants to pursue, social, capitalism or clear hybrid system. A bit of social, welfare, capital and communal models without concrete loop end leading to the multiple mis-interpretation on the part of state actors, inconsistencies, policy somersaults, nepotism and obscured transparency in infrastructure procurement process are all inimical to private sector interests. They are doing substantial damage to the private sector contributions in bridging the infrastructure gap.
Do you think the present administration's housing policy can bring about solution to homelessness in the country?
To measure the sustainable solutions on housing of any country in the world, the first indicator is the housing situation in about five flagship cities. Observations in these five cities can give valid opinion on the success or otherwise of the housing delivery structure. In Nigeria, housing situation in Lagos and Abuja will readily come to mind. Then, situation in Port Harcourt, Enugu, Kano, Kaduna and Ibadan can provide answers to the assessment of the present administration's housing policy.
The administration is doing its best within the complex housing environment, but there are still milestones for us to cover as a nation. However, housing question in Nigeria is a resolvable dilemma if we set our priorities right and address the fundamental issues.
Which areas would you want to see improvement?
I am not sure if the merging of housing ministry with works and power ministry is translating to housing for many Nigerians. I am yet to see quality housing for people of Ajegunle or Okokomaiko in Lagos and residents of Dutse-Alhaji and Jikwoyi in Abuja. Land accessibility, as also acknowledged by the Minister, is a major obstacle that the administration needs to improve upon. A lot of reforms are being executed in the housing finance sector but they need to be cohesive from the present silos framework. Sustainable building materials require further attention while capacity improvement at all levels of manpower should be strengthened.
The new trend now in the housing industry is smart homes. How can developers embrace the new technology associated with it?
The smart home concept is growing in Nigeria among new homes coming to the market. Although, the rate of retrofitting at individual's level is not too clear, but the trend is largely common in high and medium income communities. Homes in the low -income communities are making sporadic investments in procuring one form of smart home equipment or the other.
Smart home is fast emerging in the country but scope of adoption is still being limited because of broader environment restriction. The concept of smart home becomes seamless and rewarding if there is interoperability with city smart response system such as security, emergency, utility and supplies. How many cities are smart enough to encourage internet of things with various homes?
Smart homes functioning relies on regular energy, internet connection and equipment batteries. Energy supplies in Nigerian cities are too low while it is a considerable challenge to access internet in many cities outside Lagos, Abuja and few other cities. Take notice that basic pre-paid electricity meters that measure households' consumption on the utility is still intractable. The infrastructure gap in the housing sector is imposing limitations on the full -scale deployment of smart homes, but the market is optimistic with investment opportunities.
The Land Use Act amendment has been stalled. Is it possible to do away with the Act without its amendment? How?
At present, we cannot do away with the Act since it is a substantive national law, which every citizen must comply with. The act has its both advantages and disadvantages but one thing that is clear is that the act has encouraged multiplication of slums and spread of informal settlements in Nigerian urban centres. Sometime, you may not need elaborate lobbying or conferences to highlight the deficiencies of certain system. The obvious outcomes of such system should be compelling for policy makers to initiate changes. Many citizens have been consciously confined to the realm of informalities because of the provisions and implementation of the Act.
In this case of Land Use Act, it is ideal for states to begin creative ways of working around the Act in making formal land accessible to their residents. Ogun State Home Charter programme is making progress in expanding access to formal land holding while some other states too are working under the framework of Presidential Technical Committee on Land Reform to expand formal accessibility. In any case, it must be noted that the revision and amendment of the Land Use Act is long overdue.
Rural to urban migration has continued to increase, do you think we need a National Urban and Regional Planning agency to give direction to the development process?
A process without a direction will find it extremely difficult to achieve any meaningful success. Setting any urban agenda without a coordinating institution means clear direction is lacking for the agenda. Hence, the necessity to have agency to coordinate development services and strengthen resiliency in Nigerian urban centres. Lack of these institutions in many states in Nigeria is evidenced in the chaotic and unplanned situations we are seeing in many urban areas.
What role will such agency play in ensuring integrated housing programme?
Such agency, if established in a state can initiate and set housing agenda for the state. The agency will set policies, and standard for housing development and where possible provides a platform for multi-stakeholder, public, private and community to come together and deliver housing system that can reflect the aspirations of each state.
There have been calls for a virile physical development management institution to ensure proper urban development. How feasible is this?
Setting up a development management agency could be challenging when a state looks at the initial cost outlay of the system. Cost in this case will include start-up cost for accommodation, equipment and other logistics. Also, the medium to long term operational costs play major roles. However, the cost outlay brings huge returns to the state because it facilitates both local and foreign investment opportunities, improves the livability index of the residents and becomes a bridge to bring many residents into formal economic structure of the state, including taxation.
In ensuring the feasibility of having the agency, the state needs to be creative in engaging partners. especially in the private sector and restructure some elements of cost recovery mechanism in the development services. For the agency to be sustainable and perform its functions effectively, the State leadership needs to shield it from undue political interference.

Robbers use Pokémon Go to target victims
as originally posted on kdsk.com
The Pokémon Go app is a bit like a scavenger hunt, pinpointing on a map different Pokémon themed treasures and creatures you can find around you. The man who was robbed while playing this game Saturday night says he simply didn't notice he had walked into a trap.
It started as a late night cigarette run to this gas station. Even though it was 2 a.m., Nikolas Howard went to a stop with a lure on it because it was only a couple blocks away.
For two days, Howard had been tracking Pokémon on the app around the city. And he was so engrossed it in Saturday night, he didn't see what he was walking into.
The app led Howard to a parking lot near the intersection of Highway K and Feise Road, a popular checkpoint just across the street from a gas station.
That's when Howard noticed a black BMW pull in behind him.
"There were four kids inside. The kid in the back passenger seat had a silver pistol. He got out of the car and put it into my face, told me to 'lose my stuff'," said Howard.
Shane Backer, Brett Miller, and Jamine Warner have all been charged with first-degree robbery and armed criminal action. Their ages are 18,17, and 18 respectively. No word yet on whether the 16-year-old will face charges.
Pokémon Go's success adds $7.5 billion to Nintendo's market value
as originally posted on The Verge.com
Nintendo's stock continues to skyrocket following the release of Pokémon Go. After an increase of 9.3 percent with the game's launch last week, the company's share price rose 24.52 percent on Monday to ¥20,260 ($193) — its highest one-day surge since 1983, adding $7.5 billion to the firm's market value. The game has topped app download charts in the US, Australia, and New Zealand, and according to some market researchers, has already been installed on 5 percent of all Android smartphones in America.
That's a pretty substantial win for Nintendo, but it's worth remembering that the game is not solely made and overseen by the Japanese gaming company. The app is created by Niantic, an augmented reality game maker spun off from Google in October 2015, and it was built in collaboration with the Pokémon Company. Nintendo is an investor in both Niantic and the Pokémon Company (which receives around 30 percent of Pokémon Go's revenue, says The Financial Times), but the app is free to download, with Nintendo's revenue generated by in-game microtransactions.
According to one equity analyst, Pokémon Go will need to create around $140 million to $196 million in turnover each month to have a significant impact on Nintendo's profits. Mia Nagasaka of Morgan Stanley told CNBC that Pokémon Go is estimated to have made $3.9 million to $4.9 million on its first day of release, suggesting that the game will need to keep near the top of the app charts pretty consistently to be a signifiant earner. Revenue can come through microtransactions, but also marketing tie-ins — drawing users to businesses with the release of location-specific pokémon, for example.
Whether the current interest in Pokémon Go is sustainable then, is the key question. Bloomberg's Tim Culpan has drawn comparisons between the game's release and the launch of the Nintendo Wii in 2007, with the latter helping the company's stock price soar to heights of ¥67,600 before falling back to more normal levels two years later. The release of a new hardware ecosystem is going to sustain growth for longer, though, and Culpan adds that a better comparison might be mobile hits such as Words With Friends, which go viral for a few weeks before users lose interest.
Pokémon Go certainly has potential. It's part of one of the best-known and best-loved gaming franchises in the world, and its current popularity comes from a release in only three markets. (Launches in other countries, like the UK, have been "paused" as Niantic's servers struggle to keep up with the game's popularity.) The app's current implementation is also fairly straightforward — there's certainly room to create a richer, more engaging experience.
That said, Niantic's inability to keep up with the game's current influx of users isn't encouraging. And although players are happy with the title now, if new features aren't added, will many stick around in the coming weeks and months? Along with this year's release of social app Miitomo, Pokémon Go is showing Nintendo the massive untapped potential of the mobile market, something it has avoided for years. More Nintendo mobile titles are slated for release later this year, but the company first needs to prove it can produce sustained interest — and profit.
Pokemon GO More Popular Than Porn on Google
as originally posted on nintendoenthusiast.com
Pokemon GO has taken the world (well, at least the US and Australia) by storm. After reporting that Pokemon GO has nearly double the installs compared to Tinder, Twitter user ZhugeEX pointed out that according to Google Trends, search results for Pokemon GO have eclipsed even that of porn, surely a huge metric by any standard.
We would like to congratulate Nintendo on breaking the internet. Not many things can outperform porn.
