You Are My Sunshine
Emma's P3A students at EP Primary Ho-Bankoe were beaming with great pride in seeing their work put together in a book that will soon be on its way to Mrs. Dimenstein's 3rd graders at HIES in Atlanta, Georgia. The concept of acrostic poems was foreign to them and many were unable to grasp to concept no matter how many times it was explained and translated; yet, others focused intensely and successfully expressed their nature drawings in poetry just as their counterparts in the U.S. had taught them. Their focus and expressions were attuned with the natural world around them, and the sacred balance we are encouraging them to honor was acknowledged.
Dr. Painter's 3rd graders at CT Walker Magnet School wanted to add color to their friends' classroom after connecting with them last exchange, so they sent some handmade sun catchers. The colors of their beautiful creations shone brightly against the darkened walls of the schoolroom. The environment was illuminated even further by the joy on the faces of the children as they played with glue and tissue paper to make some special gifts in return. The students watched as the sun catchers twirled in the windows, moving easily with the flow of the warm African breezes. Our final delivery at RC Girls was letters to the P5 classroom. We are touched by the sentiments shared between these children, and on this day, particularly those of Jaleen in America. Jaleen wrote to his friend Linda, "I am just bursting with fun because I am writing to you. Love, Jaleen."
The burst of fun continue on the EP Primary campus in Beauty's P3B classroom as the students learn a new memory game using weather matching cards made by 3rd graders at St. Andrew's School. Bursts of laughter explode from the students as they play the game with one another. The game successfully merges art with education; students recognize familiar images and words (of sunlight, rain shower, etc.) and they look with eager curiosity to match the unknown concepts, such as hail or snow. Ahhh, the thoughts of cooler air…
Under the shade of the trees in the schoolyard, we take time to soak in the natural playful nature of these children who reconnect us with our own playfulness. We are as enthralled with them as they are with us. Through these projects carried from thousands of miles away, viewed in dark rooms covered with shiny tins roves, sunlight bursting through windows, facets of interconnectedness illuminates within each of us. The very nature of us all- together- makes us happy. We are bursting with sunshine!

We've had a crush on Cipriana Quann ever since we stumbled across her natural hair blog, Urban Bush Babes. So when we spotted her (and her towering topknot) outside of Lincoln Center during New York Fashion Week, our hearts skipped a beat.
Once we got over the initial shock, we chatted all things hair, makeup and skin with Quann. The natural beauty is a huge fan of 100 percent extra virgin cold-pressed coconut and olive oils, and she uses SheaMoisture Raw Shea Butter Reconstructive Finishing Elixir to condition her curly locks and control frizz.
Quann doesn't wear foundation or concealer, but she does use a bit of powder to reduce the shine in her T-zone area. Drugstore beauty products like Maybelline mascara and Wet 'N Wild lipstick glam up her look. However, she believes that beauty starts from within.
She explained, "If you have a good foundation, then anything you place on top will just enhance. Therefore, a healthy diet, increasing water intake, exercise, sleep and decreasing stress in your life works wonders on any problematic issues or just for youthful-looking skin and healthy hair."
Her biggest beauty tip is even simpler: Keep your hands off your face. "You will be surprised how many things you touch and what bacteria and germs can effect the condition of your skin, leading to breakouts, so make sure to wash your hands," said Quann.

Why the outdoors is great: it's so important to get kids to play outside!
It seems intuitively weird that we have to actually push kids to spend more time outdoors, but it's true: according to The Nature Conservancy, in a typical week, "only 6 percent of children ages 9-13 play outside on their own, and kids 8 to 18 spend an overwhelming 53 hours a week using entertainment media." Why is it important for ... Read More »

The Experimental City is a documentary about the Minnesota Experimental City project, a futuristic attempt to solve urban problems by creating a full-size city from scratch in the isolated woods of northern Minnesota. At the heart of the story is renowned scientist, inventor, and comic-strip author, Athelstan Spilhaus, who dreams of a new kind of planned city—a truly experimental city that continuously changes to find workable urban solutions. This new city would employ the newest technologies in communications, transport, pollution control, energy supply—even large-scale domed enclosure—in an attempt to create more livable cities for the twenty-first century. It was a compelling vision, with powerful backers, hundreds of experts, and its own state agency. But not everyone fell in line with this newfangled vision for the future.
Part of the Real Utopias Film Series from the Miami-Dade College's Museum of Art and Design
The film series Real Utopias features a selection of documentaries and film essays that examine past and current experiments in our collective search for freedom, equality, and democracy. Real Utopias investigates alternative ways in which urban living has been, and can be, designed, from a call to non-violence (Everyday Rebellion: "democracy is like love, you have to make it") to architects' futuristic visions (Paolo Soleri: Citizen of the Planet and Jacque Fresco in Future My Love) to utopian urban experiments of the past (The Experimental City; Soul City, USA; New Town Utopia; Brasilia: Life After Design) to a rare look at a post-capitalist, modern-day utopian Europe (Paths Through Utopia).
Real Utopias accompanies MOAD's A City of the People series, which will take place at multiple locations throughout Miami from April to December of this year. A City of the People will feature a wide range of art experiences, screenings, readings, and public programs that explore what it means to exist in, and as, an urban community.
The curator of the Real Utopias Film Series is Konstantia Kontaxis, Associate Dean of Research and Director of the Center for Communication, Culture and Change at the University of Miami School of Communication.

The Straits Times Index (STI) traded at 3,411.17, down 4.36 points (0.13 percent) from previous close, at mid-day. The market traded on moderate volume of 559.4 million shares traded with 152 gainers and 184 losers as of 12:49pm.

Civil engineering solutions provider Oxley Holdings has entered into a 49:51 joint venture (JV) with Lian Beng Group, for the development of a land parcel at Tampines North Drive 1, which has a site area of 27,395.2 square metres. The parcel was awarded to the JV company, Goldprime Land, for $64.4 million and is zoned under "Business 2", which is intended to be utilised for industry, warehouse, utilities and telecommunication uses.
Thakral Corporation posted a 21 percent increase in revenue to $499.9 million for the year ended 31 December 2014, due to improved rental income and project returns as well as higher sales in the lifestyle division. However, gross profit declined 7.2 percent to $24 million due to weak demand impacting gross margins as well as necessitating allowances for ageing inventories. Consequently, despite strong contributions from the investment division, the firm remains in the red with a net loss of $0.1 million.

As Of August 1, 2017, Frank D. Eaman, PLLC will operate under Eaman & Gabbara, PLLC
In state court, charges are usually initiated by an arrest or a complaint. There usually is no grand jury investigation or indictment, but only a complaint. However, in state court, there is a right to a preliminary hearing, where the prosecution has to call witnesses to establish the basis for the charges filed in the complaint. The preliminary hearing is an important phase of the criminal case, where you and your attorney can challenge the basis for the charges, see the evidence the prosecution wishes to use against you, and cross examine witnesses against you.
In Michigan, the state courts are organized by county. Each county has a circuit court that is the court that has jurisdiction over felony cases, and a district court that has jurisdiction over misdemeanor cases. Some smaller counties share one court with another county. Mr. Eaman and Ms. Gabbara have appeared in many of Michigan's circuit and district courts, especially in the Detroit metropolitan area, which includes Wayne, Oakland, Macomb and Washtenaw Counties. Where Mr. Eaman has appeared outside the Detroit metropolitan area, he often links with a local attorney who can assist him in navigating the court system. Because of his long practice experience, his experience teaching lawyers throughout the state, and his service as president of the Criminal Defense Attorneys of Michigan, Mr. Eaman knows most of the criminal defense lawyers throughout the state.
Early representation in a state court case is very important. Frank D. Eaman, PLLC, has had experience in almost all state court charges. A sample of the types of cases where the firm has represented clients includes the following:

AOTW: Trace/
Today, my friends, we discuss a rather unique Ability, and in some ways, every Ability. A passive power that will turn any opponent into the Darth Vader to your Obi-Wan, the René Belloq to your Indiana Jones, the George Lucas to your competent fan base. This Ability creates the ultimate antagonist to your adversary: yourself. This is Ability of the Week: Trace!
Introduced in the third generation, Trace is usable by five pokémon, and unlike most of the Abilities I've discussed in this feature, the list has not expanded at all since its inception. Porygon, Porygon2, and Ralts and its evolutions are the only monsters you'll find with the capacity to know Trace. When a pokémon with the Ability is introduced into a battle, it will automatically copy the opponent's Ability (unless that Ability is Wonderguard, Multitype, or Illusion). In the case of a double or triple battle, Trace will randomly select which opponent's Ability to copy.
Now, due to the nature of Trace, it's difficult to nail down a solid strategy to utilize with it. If you have a friend that you battle against regularly, a Trace-user could be handy to use because you probably know their strategy, but for the most part, this Ability forces you to think on your feet. I think the handiest thing you can do is fall back on one my favorite standbys: the Bait and Switch strategy. (Full disclosure here, I've been at the receiving end of the following combo by virtue of my own stupidity and lack of paying attention to my battle.) Let's say you're packing a Gardevoir with Trace in your roster, and your opponent sends out a monster with an Ability that allows it to absorb moves and gain a stat boost… like an Electivire with Motor Drive.
Like mine.
And then because that Electivire doesn't have any moves that are super effective against a Gardevoir, it attacks with the next best thing, and STAB'd Thunderpunch.
Like I did.
And then because that Gardevoir has Trace, its copied Motor Drive, receives no damage, and gains a speed boost.
Like the guy whose name I don't recall that I was fighting at the Midwest Gaming Classic last year did.
Okay, yeah, Wil's dumb, let's all point and laugh. The point is, learn from my idiocy and translate it into a strategy to use against your opponents! Be on the lookout for monsters with Abilities like Motor Drive, Dry Skin, Sap Sipper, and so on, and try to goad your opponent into using a move that would activate their own Ability if you used it, and profit!
See if you can come up with some more imaginative ways to utilize Trace. As for me, I'm gonna continue researching real-world carbonite freeze for the good of mankind. You'll thank me when Han shoots first again in the Episode IV 3D rerelease.

Happy Spring!
We are welcoming the warm weather with open arms here in Pittsburgh. To celebrate the season of fresh buds, we wanted to give y'all a peek at a new line we just got in at the shop. These prints are created by combining artwork and photography with vintage elements to create one of a kind works of art. Each piece is individually antiqued and distressed by hand to create an organic and whimsical look.
The coolest part? All of the prints, cards, and envelopes are embedded with wildflower seed mix. Printed on tree-free paper, the line is completely biodegradable and chemical free.
Let's celebrate Spring and regrowth. If you give a card to a loved one, they can dig a little hole in the dirt, plant the card + envelope, and flowers will eventually bloom.

"Hooded" is something of an understatement for this extravagantly crested little duck. Adult males are a sight to behold, with sharp black-and-white patterns set off by chestnut flanks. Females get their own distinctive elegance from their cinnamon crest. Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and rivers, where they dive for fish, crayfish, and other food, seizing it in their thin, serrated bills. They nest in tree cavities; the ducklings depart with a bold leap to the forest floor when only one day old.More ID Info
Hooded Mergansers are fairly common on small ponds and streams across their breeding range. In fall through spring, head to unfrozen lakes or shallow, protected saltwater bays and look for them mixed in flocks with other small divers like Bufflehead and Ruddy Ducks. Pay attention for flying ducks too—a fast series of truncated whistles from high overhead may signal the rapid wingbeats of a commuting merganser.
If you live near the appropriate habitat for mergansers, consider putting up a nest box to attract a breeding pair. Make sure you put it up well before breeding season. Attach a guard to keep predators from raiding eggs and young. If your box does not have nest material from a previous resident, you can add wood shavings to entice a new resident. Find out more about nest boxes on our Attract Birds pages. You'll find plans for building a nest box of the appropriate size on our All About Birdhouses site.

It's the moment of the fitness mash-up
Girl Talk's got nothing on the workout world. While classes that combined multiple sweaty modalities used to be rare (and quickly canceled), the moment of the fitness mash-up may have finally arrived.
In the past year in New York, Pure Yoga and Yoga 216 launched classes that combined yoga and boot camp. Flex Studios debuted 30/30 and 30/30/30, classes that combine their previously separate disciplines—tricked-out Pilates reformer, barre, and TRX. Exhale launched Barre+Cardio and Studio 360 opened with a cycling-yoga combo offering.
And when The Movement opens its doors in early April, it will take muscle-building mash-ups to a new level, with an entire suite of classes based around the concept. Think barre-HIIT, yoga-CrossFit, and many more.
"We're all busy and have full lives. Mash-ups, apart from being more interesting and fun, are more time-, energy-, and cost-efficient," explains The Movement co-founder and director of programming Magen Banwart. "Why take three or four classes when you can get your fat-burning, cardio, full-body strengthening, shaping, sweating, and stretching in one, super-fun hour?" (I'm exhausted already.)
But can seemingly totally polar opposite approaches to getting fit create sweaty harmony where there should have been cacophany? (We're applying the Sinead O'Connor and Lil' Wayne mashup rule here.) Or does everyone just have fitness ADD?
They can work, affirms Ariana Chernin, co-founder of rapidly expanding Barre Bee Fit—which offers barre-HIIT and barre-boxing classes. But it doesn't always.
"There can be drawbacks if a class wasn't created with an appropriate 'recipe.' Jill [co-founder Jillian Lorenz] and my specific backgrounds in choreography/dance and competitive running/sports have allowed us to come together and perfect Barre Bee Fit's recipe," Chernin explains. In other words, there are good DJs and bad ones, and the same goes for workout class designers (as if you didn't know that).
Also, since you'll be changing it up throughout the class and spending less time on each workout modality, you have to make sure you're working as hard as you can during every moment. Intensity is key, says Chernin. "It really comes down to packing a punch with the time you dedicate to fitness." —Lisa Elaine Held

|too many LoginModule requests ?
|Fri, 05 Sep 2008 13:00:32 GMT
Hi All, I have created a custom login module for the user authentication, which works ok (I can login as expected). I was surprised by the number of calls to the login module. Even if I successfully logged in on a previous request, a next request on the same context did again call my login module. Is this expected behaviour ? I would like to just login once instead on each request. Am I doing something wrong in my custom module or is this behaviour as expected ? Kind regards, Marco Laponder -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: David Jencks [mailto:firstname.lastname@example.com] Verzonden: woensdag 3 september 2008 19:07 Aan: firstname.lastname@example.com Onderwerp: Re: retrieve custom principal from custom loginmodule in servlet On Sep 3, 2008, at 1:28 AM, Marco Laponder wrote: > Hi Everyone, > > I am trying to build a custom login module where custom principals are > added to the subject.

Assuming that it does not.... The specs don't describe how to pick the "UserPrincipal" from the possibly numerous principals in a logged-in Subject. Geronimo uses this code snippet: Set<? extends Principal> principals = subject.getPrincipals(GeronimoCallerPrincipal.class); if (!principals.isEmpty()) { context.principal = principals.iterator().next(); } else if (!(principals = subject.getPrincipals(PrimaryRealmPrincipal.class)).isEmpty()) { context.principal = principals.iterator().next(); } else if (!(principals = subject.getPrincipals(RealmPrincipal.class)).isEmpty()) { context.principal = principals.iterator().next(); } else if (!(principals = subject.getPrincipals()).isEmpty()) { context.principal = principals.iterator().next(); } So, the most reliable way to get your special principal returned as the UserPrincipal is to have it implement the marker interface GeronimoCallerPrincipal, and assure it is the only principal that implements that interface.

A Dundee cyclist who launched a tirade against a couple in their 70s, punched their car's wing mirror and branded the man a "middle class p***k" has been sentenced to a tagging order.
Duncan McLaren followed the driver after claiming he had been cut up as he pulled into the approach to the council recycling centre on Riverside Drive.
The 37-year-old later told officers his victim, Alexander Ramsay, was a "middle-class p***k" who "shouldn't be allowed on the road".
McLaren avoided a jail term over the incident, after a sheriff warned him that he had to change his ways.
Depute fiscal Trina Sinclair told Dundee Sheriff Court: "The complainers are a couple in their seventies. At around 1pm they were driving to the skip at Riverside. As they turned, the accused was riding a bike with a trailer and they swerved in front of him. They then slowed down to let the bike pass.
"Mr Ramsay got out of his car to unload items to the skip and the accused arrived two minutes later.
"He approached Mr Ramsay, shouting about his driving and swearing, saying: 'You shouldn't be allowed on the road'.
"Mr Ramsay walked away and the accused shouted: 'I am not finished with you yet'.
"As Sybil Ramsay, his wife, asked an employee where certain items went, the accused punched the wing mirror and smashed it. He then left."
Miss Sinclair told the court that the couple went to the police, who traced McLaren after reviewing CCTV footage.
After being detained, McLaren told officers: "The boy drove like a p***k. That middle-class p***k shouldn't be on the road. I don't care what you do, I will keep doing things like that."
McLaren, 37, of Forest Park Place, pleaded guilty to behaving in a threatening and abusive manner by shouting, swearing and threatening Alexander and Sybil Ramsay and punching the wing mirror of a car, smashing it, at Dundee City Council amenities site on Riverside Drive on March 23.
Doug McConnell, defending, said: "The only option for the court other than custody is a restriction of liberty order.
"Mr McLaren suffers from Huntington's disease. At the time, it was a very difficult period, as he was a carer for his mother.
"He has been of good behaviour and that has changed his attitude."
Sheriff Tom Hughes imposed a restriction of liberty order for four months, meaning McLaren will be electronically tagged and confined to his house from 7pm until 7am every day.
He said: "It has to be quite clear to you that I take a very dim view of your conduct. You can't go on acting like that.
"You are very close to being detained in respect of this matter now.
"If you carry on acting the way you are going, your next stop is custody you're going to have to change your ways."

Finishing a Tuesday: some player quotes
A little more from today's media session...
- The players said they had only just learned of Kuraczea's decision to leave the team. "I just found out, like a minute ago, so I don't have a lot of details yet," Moe Petrus said. "It's an unfortunate situation. He'll be missed. It'll be hard not having that depth and experience."
- Said Cody Endres, who did hard suspension time with Kuraczea, "I'm definitely surprised. "It's tough because he's a good player, and I really enjoyed playing with him. It's disappointing to me."
- Endres is among those who don't feel entitled (I believe him, but I also get the feeling everyone on the team says they fall into that category). "I don't feel a sense of entitlement," Endres said. "If coach Edsall gets that kind of feeling from the guys, then that's his opinion." But he back tracks a little. "This program has been built on hard work. I think we work harder than most teams in the country, if I can say so. I think we get the idea, but sometimes we do lose the fact that we're not entitled to anything."
- Third down's have been a problem with the UConn offense. Endres, asked what the problem has been, said the team has to sustain drives. He also mentioned he wouldn't mind a little more variety with the play-calling. "I think we'll come up with some good things on third down. Maybe not be so, uh....you know," Endres said, pausing to pick his words carefully. "I can't think of the word I'm looking for. Maybe not run it all the time on third down. I like to pass it more, but that's me."
- UConn fullback Ruben Frank has been playing the part of Bilal Powell on the scout team this past week. Kendall Reyes, for one, thinks he has a future. "He is one tough dude," Reyes said. "He's running the ball hard."
- Rough week for sitcoms. First June Cleaver, then Howard Cunningham. Tom Bosley and his natural, folksy Midwestern sense of humor worked perfectly well as Mr. C on "Happy Days". Of course, Barbara Billingsley's finest work was her role as an elderly woman who could interpret jive for a stewardess in "Airplane".

Belgium: Tax Candy Store of Europe
Belgium is perhaps not the most eye-catching country in Western Europe. Nevertheless, Belgium is home to the European capital of Brussels and despite it being a small country, it has been able to pride itself on a thriving economy for several decades already, a very high living standard, a strongly developed social security system and healthcare, a highly skilled population and high quality infrastructure. A much less known fact about this small country, ensconced between France, Germany and the Netherlands, is its hidden tax advantages.
Appearances Can Be Deceiving…
At first glance Belgium does not give the impression of being a tax-friendly country. The income tax rate easily rises to 50%, without even mentioning a whole gamut of local taxes. The basic corporate tax rate amounts to 34%. Dividends are subject to an advance tax levy on securities of 25 or 15%. Labour costs are also very high in Belgium. There are also miscellaneous real estate duties, environmental taxes, and so the list goes on… So you could not exactly call it a tax haven. The country does, however, offer an advantageous system for HQ of international corporations, the so-called coordination centres, but that story is close to extinction. So should this small and insignificant rainy country simply be left by the wayside? Well, that would not be a smart move at all because behind the scenes determined businesspeople are finding a store of lucrative fiscal candy… Belgium certainly offers – and now even more so than in the past – extremely attractive fiscal advantages but you have to know how to ferret them out. This is for the 'tax connoisseurs'. A word of explanation…
No Capital Gains Tax on Shares…
If a Belgian resident sells his company shares, any capital gain does not incur any tax liability. So there is no tax payable at all. If you are a Belgian taxpayer and you own a multinational, wherever this may be located in the world, and if you happen to sell this company's shares, then you do not have to pay any tax on the sale value. In most European countries you would be liable for 25% capital gains tax. Not so in Belgium. There has, however, been mention of doing something about this but at this present moment this still remains tax-free. Furthermore, it is also fairly easy to become a 'Belgian' tax-payer to be able to take advantage of this. Also, when a company owns shares and then sells them, any profit on these shares is not subject to capital gains tax but please note that any losses are non tax-deductible. The wealthy Dutch discovered Belgium as a tax haven years ago, because in Belgium there is no such thing as e.g. a wealth tax. As a result, the green belt north of Antwerp is bursting at the seams with rich Dutch people, which has even led to the coining of a new term of 'Netherbelgians'. Well-to-do French people have also found their way to Belgium for that very reason.
Notional Interest Deduction (NID)…
In the tax competition battle between the European countries, Belgium decided not to jump on the bandwagon of lower corporate taxation but instead gave preference to notional interest deduction or NID. This is a highly successful creative system. So how does it work? With effect from 2006, companies are allowed to deduct a certain fictional amount from their income, i.e. the 'risk capital deduction', better known as 'notional interest deduction'. This year, this deduction is equivalent to 4.281% of the 'shareholders' equity', and in practice this means that the paid-up capital is often increased by the reserves (the 'profits' put aside). The important thing to bear in mind is that, every year, this notional interest deduction is applied again to the entire shareholders' equity and therefore not to the growth achieved in relation to the previous year. The notional interest deduction provides an incentive to anyone who invests using their 'own means'. That is also correct, but this is all too often interpreted too literally. What this means, in fact, is that a company that does not pay out a large proportion of its profits (high reserves, therefore) and therefore accrues significant capital (and 'finances' its investments via this method) benefits from a high notional interest deduction given the fact that it has significant shareholders' equity. Investing? Whether or not your company effectively invest does therefore not have any (direct) impact at all on the notional interest deduction. Also the fact that your company takes out a loan for investment purposes or whether it uses the money in its bank account, has no bearing. After all, this does not (directly) alter the shareholders' equity and your company will not benefit from a larger or smaller NID. In other words, it is simply 'a gift' to you.
Attractive to Foreign Holdings.
So what possible scenarios are there? Just imagine a foreign holding with stacks of money setting up a Belgian company and investing (capital) in it. Subsequently, this Belgian company in turn lends money to, e.g. the French, German, English or other companies of this same group. These 'branches' pay interest to the Belgian company, and perhaps also a management fee. These foreign branches incur costs in their home country but the Belgian company is not taxed on this because of its notional interest deduction. For example, if this Belgian holding has equity of 5 million euros, then this generates an annual tax deduction of more than 200,000 euros.
The Unlikely Story of Hong Kong
Besides China, Belgium is the only country in the world which has signed a double taxation treaty with Hong Kong. Since the start of this treaty, Hong Kong has become one of the most tax efficient locations for setting up investments in Belgium.
The treaty provides for lower income tax at source on any monies which the Hong Kong company earns in Belgium. In many cases, that same income is not taxed in Hong Kong, which can lead to considerable tax savings.
|Type of income of Belgian origin
|Taxation at source
|Taxed in HK
|Dividends (< 25% shareholding)
|Dividends (>= 25% shareholding)
|Interest of Belgian origin
|Royalties of Belgian origin
|Profits on Belgian assets
Given the fact that Hong Kong does not impose a tax levy at source on dividends paid out to foreigners, investors can, through the intermediary of a Hong Kong holding, siphon away dividends, interest and royalties from Belgium with a total tax liability of respectively 0% (after paying corporate tax in Belgium); 10% (tax-deductible in Belgium) and 5% (tax-deductible in Belgium).
And in reverse !!!! dividends paid out by a Hong Kong subsidiary to its Belgian parent company in Belgium benefit from the DBI regime. Thus, Hong Kong becomes a particularly lucrative location for Belgian companies aiming to invest or to trade abroad. A Belgian company that exports to Asia or imports from Asia can, for example, trade through re-invoicing companies in Hong Kong. If those transactions occur 'at arm's length', part of the profits can thus be converted into tax-free profits in Hong Kong which can subsequently be paid out as dividends to the Belgian parent company where they are 95% exempt from corporate tax.
And there is even more good news.
Belgium has signed a dual taxation treaty with more than 80 countries. The exemption from tax at source on share dividends which the parent company-subsidiary directive provides for, is now being extended to dividend payments to non-EU member states with which Belgium has signed a dual taxation treaty, therefore also Hong Kong, for example. This offers good prospects given that if a US company sets up a subsidiary in Belgium which, in turn, sets up a company in Hong Kong… In this way profits made in Hong Kong (by trading in China) can virtually flow untaxed to the US Company. This offers a myriad of possibilities.
Inheritance Tax but Attractive Gift Tax…
In Belgium, inheritance tax differs depending on the region (Brussels, Wallonia and Flanders) (see below). In Flanders, any inheritance tax for direct descendants is no less than 27% from EUR 250,000. In Wallonia, inheritance tax for 'third parties' can at a given point even amount to 95% – and no, this is not a spelling error. However, on the other hand some beneficial gift taxes have been implemented in recent years which operate more or less the same in all the regions. In real terms, you are allowed to donate movable goods (e.g. shares, money, paintings) to your children or grandchildren before a notary, and this at a rate of 3%. If you pay this 3%, then the heir will no longer be liable to inheritance tax, even if the donator drops dead five minutes after having donated the gift. If you donate to 'others' (e.g. brother, nephew, but also a friend, for example), then you pay 7% and the matter is closed. Even foreigners can make use of this, even if they do not live in Belgium at all. They can therefore receive an official notary's deed in Dutch, French or German (the three official languages of Belgium) due to the fact that a donation has taken place. Naturally, the implications of this in the home country of the donor is quite a different story. However, if someone can declare hard and fast that the beneficiary lives in Belgium…
The Lucrative Aspects of a Belgian Company The Car…
If you own a company in Belgium, then this does offer you quite a number of advantages. If you drive around in a car owned by your company, you are almost always taxed as a private individual on a benefit of 5,000 km multiplied by a certain CC factor. In most cases, this will come down to an amount of EUR 1,000 on which you are taxed as a private individual. This is regardless of which car you drive and how much private mileage you do.
Real Estate.
With a Belgian company, you can always acquire as much real estate as you like. The registration duties and notary costs become immediately tax-deductible in the year of purchase, and you naturally write off the building itself. If you live in a building which is owned by the company, then you are taxed on a very small benefit as a private individual. Because this private benefit is calculated on the so-called 'land registry or cadastral income'. If you then know that this 'land registry or cadastral income' is the fictional rent value from the year 1975 (yes… 1975), then this explains a lot. Buildings are often constructed where the company buys the usufruct or right of use for 20 years, for example, and the director the bare real estate. For these twenty years the company pays all the expenditure (interest, alterations, and so on). After 20 years, the premises disappear from the company and these 'accrete' to the bare property. Thus you acquire premises in your own name but which were largely paid for by the company. If you privately sell a building which is your home, you will not incur any capital gains tax in Belgium on any profit made. You will not be taxed on a second home if you sell this after 5 years. If you sell this second home within a period of 5 years, then you will pay capital gains tax at a rate of 16.5% but yet again you will benefit from numerous deductions, which means that the 16.5% will usually work out even less.
Life Insurance.
It is also possible to accrue a significant life insurance at the expense of a Belgian company with the director as the beneficiary. These premiums are tax-deductible for the company. And when the director is 60 or 65 years old (but there are opportunities to take it up earlier), he receives the full equity from his company and finally only pays 16.5% in tax.
Tax Inspections
What we are now writing is something that we should not be shouting from the roof tops but the Belgian tax authority is not so well organised. There are actually more than 30,000 tax officials, and this per capita is an absolute world record. Due to all manner of tax reforms which have never been fully implemented, contradictory directives, insufficient computerisation and too few motivated staff and one highly complex system… the tax authority is turning in circles. Companies – especially in large cities, such as Antwerp or Brussels, are hardly inspected at all. A company that does not get 'noticed', may not be inspected for 10 or 20 years, and these are no exceptions. There is always room for discussion with tax officials because the laws are complex, incomprehensible and ambiguous. For example, Belgium has a population of 10 million, therefore as many inhabitants as Paris or London, but Belgium operates three systems of inheritance tax. Brussels is a separate region and runs its own inheritance tax system, just like Flanders and Wallonia. So what happens if a Brussels resident owns a flat along the coast (Flanders) and dies? What if a Fleming owns a piece of land in the Ardennes and wishes to gift it to his son who lives in Brussels. The Belgians are the only people who, in their own country, can engage in tax planning by moving within their own country. So if you are also aware that you can drive from one side of the country to the other in barely 3 hours, you realise just how crazy the outcome can be. It is fascinating indeed…

Grand Opening Celebration of Harper Kuta
14 October 2013
Legian Kuta – Bali, 14 October 2013 - Last Friday, 11 October 2013 was marked the grand opening celebration of what has quickly become one of Kuta's most popular hotels, the Harper Kuta. Having soft opened in July, the hotel has immediately enjoyed unusually high occupancy levels of 80% and above and immediately received loads of accolades on Tripadvisor and several other customer review websites.
The Grand Opening Celebration marked an open invitation for several hundred travel agents, tour operators, media representatives and holiday makers residing in the central Kuta area to experience The Harper Kuta's unique rustic yet ultra modern design concept and its signature restaurant "Rustik Bistro & Bar", with great entertainment by the hotel's resident DJ, door prizes and hotel front and back of house tours.
The new Harper Kuta is being described as "modern – rustic," and images posted to the brand's Web site, www.HarperHotels.com, in some ways reflect the aesthetics of a cozy countryside home while remaining unmistakably Asian and modern in its core.
The handsome hotel sits right of Jalan Legian in the very heart of Bali's legendary surfer enclave of Kuta and offers 149 rooms and suites, many of which offer private balconies, a stunning outdoor pool with sun deck , a children's pool, and an intimate spa, and the Harper brand's signature restaurant "Rustik Bistro & Bar".
Conceptualized to be modern yet infused with rustic charm the hotel conveys a residential feel. Combining comfort and functionality, Harper's design concept uses warm, rich colors to offer comfort in each room. Accents of warm autumnal fabrics and soft orange hues promote relaxation - spiced pumpkin, tangerine and amber are popular variations of the orange palette - while modern grays create an understated cool elegance.
The principal restaurant "Rustik Bistro & Bar" offers home comfort food cooking paired with great wine and cocktails in a fresh, light and elegant room placing an emphasis on creating dishes that promote the finest home cooking – both European and Indonesian such as Coq au Vin, Beef Stew – Beef Rendang and Soto Ayam.
"The new Harper Hotel concept opens the doors onto a new world of well-being and sensations. We all like to have a place to call our own and while travelling; this means comfort, practicality and a true reflection of our personality, a hotel with inspirational and distinctive interiors, finished to the highest quality standards," said Archipelago International's Vice President of Sales & Marketing, Mr. Norbert Vas.

Mobile broadband offer likely to spark the usual chaos...
We've pretty much had it up to here *lifts arm as high as he can and stands on a chair* with free laptop deals. They cause chaos and usually disappear after 14 to 15 microseconds – but you troublesome lot love em…
For your benefit then (and for the last time) I bring you news that a deal is in the offing. This time it's Carphone Warehouse which is preparing to give a free Dell Inspiron 1520 laptop (above – which Andy reviewed favourably in August) to customers who sign up to 3's Mobile Broadband.
The package costs £35 per month for a 2.8Mbit connection with 3GB of monthly data allowance and also includes a free USB modem dongle and 200 text messages. Breaking its usual caveat of a 24 month contract, Carphone Warehouse is also going relatively easy on its customers by insisting only on an 18 month deal making the total cost £630 for a laptop and all that WiFi. Sounds like a bargain to me.
Naturally enough, as is typical for these headline grabbing antics, the free laptop offer will only last as long as stocks last (which is mostly likely half an hour "before" launch) so keep your eyes peeled for it popping up over the next few days.
Still, if you miss out don't worry there'll be yet another offer along soon enough… not that I'll be writing it up. That ship has sailed, oh yes.
"'Update:"' Yep, there's now a free laptop with a 24 month AOL 8Mbps fixed line broadband connection. "Seeee". Oh, that means I just wrote another one up. Arse.

People are often reluctant to seek help from a drug rehab addiction treatment center because there is a fear of the unknown. In an effort to help you feel comfortable with seeking help for a current addiction, we have decided to try to take the fear out of the unknown by talking about some of the staff members you will meet while seeking treatment.
There are a number of different professionals who work at a drug addiction treatment center. Understanding who works there and what they do will help relieve some of the anxiety you feel about seeking treatment for an addiction.
Intake Administrator
An intake administrator is often the first person you will meet on your road to addiction recovery. He or she is responsible for gathering valuable information that will help the doctors, social workers, and counselors create an individualized treatment plan for you.
The counselors who are on staff at the drug rehab addiction treatment center are the individuals who will be responsible for helping you down the road to recovery. They will conduct individual, group, and family counseling sessions that will help you explore how and why your addiction got started.
One of the goals you will have when working with a counselor is to determine what might have triggered your addiction. Once a trigger is determined, your counselor will work with you to teach you valuable coping skills that help you potentially avoid turning to the drugs and alcohol that started your addiction.
In addition to working with you on a one-on-one basis, a counselor will help you repair relationships with family and friends. Most drug addiction treatment centers offer family therapy that allows the addict and their friends or family members to work through issues that arose while the individual was actively addicted to drugs or alcohol.
Many individuals who suffer from an addiction also suffer from a mental illness. Psychiatrists are medical doctors who are able to assess a patient and determine what, if any, mental illness is present.
Once a mental illness is diagnosed, the psychiatrist can work with the patient to create a personalized course of treatment. Treatment for mental illnesses can include medication, counseling, and cognitive behavioral therapy.

The Prime Minister in Action
Jiji Press New Year Party
January 5, 2018
[Provisional Translation]
On January 5, 2018, Prime Minister Shinzo Abe attended the Jiji Press New Year Party held in Tokyo.
The Prime Minister said in his address,
"Happy New Year everyone. This year, on my way to visit Ise Jingu, I saw Mt. Fuji distinctly out the window of the Shinkansen, suggesting to me that many good things will happen this year. I actually started with a similar remark last year, but it was an eventful year.
Last year was the year of the rooster. There is the saying that the years of the monkey and rooster are ones of upheaval; last year was indeed a year of upheaval. In fact, last year, at this occasion, I stated that the year of the rooster is a year when there are various changes in politics. I touched upon the dissolutions of the House of Representatives by former Prime Minister Koizumi and former Prime Minister Sato, both of which took place in the year of the rooster. However, it looked like no one here was aware of the true intention behind my remarks. Despite my advance notice at the beginning of last year, the media criticized that snap election when I actually dissolved the House of Representatives in October. It made me wonder what the media were listening to in my speech. They said that there was no cause for an election. If they were to claim that there was no cause for it, I wished they would have said so at the beginning of the year. A newspaper company, which is quite critical of me--actually there are many which are critical--put out an editorial stating that I had suggested a dissolution at the start of the year and the opposition parties should have taken my remarks seriously and made preparations to that end. It stated that now, attention will be on what I will say at the beginning of this year. I have come here promising myself that I absolutely would not make such statements today.
This year is the year of the dog. Sixty years ago, Tokyo Tower was just completed. I was four years old at the time. It was the year that my father was first elected to the Diet. From what I recall, I went to a celebratory event commemorating the opening of Tokyo Tower. The reason I remember that is because I brought home a box of popcorn for some reason. It may have been a giveaway at the event. That was the first time I ate popcorn in my life. I remember being both amazed that there was such a delicious food in the world and, even as a child, proud and excited at the completion of the world's tallest tower. Following that, there was the Osaka Expo in the year of the dog in 1970, and the Tohoku Shinkansen was completed in the subsequent year of the dog. I think we can say that the year of the dog is often a year of new beginnings.
I hope to make this a year that people will see as the start of a new era. I would like everyone to take time and think hard about what this year should entail. Fundamentally, I will embark on efforts by giving top priority to the economy. As the market adage goes, 'the years of the monkey and the rooster are years of upheaval, while the year of the dog is a year of laughter.' Fortunately, yesterday and today there has been a little bit of something to smile about in the markets. I will continue to move forward resolutely with policies to exit from deflation.
We are joined here today by politicians. I notice that everyone is attending with a refreshed look on their face. I think this must be because the election was conducted without incident before the end of last year. How one feels about the election may differ depending on the political party. Thanks to that election, it is now possible for us to undertake a major shift to a social security system oriented to all generations. In addition, I believe we are able to create a large policy package that will secure a permanent source of funds totaling 2 trillion yen every year because we earned the public's mandate by holding the election. In last year's general election, the public gave us a tremendous number of parliamentary seats. I have been involved in three general elections as President of the Liberal Democratic Party of Japan (LDP), and we won the largest number of votes in this third general election, in both proportional representation and single-seat constituencies. What that means is that we now bear a greater responsibility than ever before. I would like to make this a year in which we fulfill each of the promises we made one by one with a sense of urgency. I will exert every effort in the upcoming session of the Diet.
Seated right in front of me is H.E. Mr. Cheng Yonghua, Ambassador of the People's Republic of China to Japan. This year marks the 40th anniversary of the Treaty of Peace and Friendship between Japan and the People's Republic of China. I also want to make this a year that the people of both countries can recognize that the Japan-China relationship improved significantly as it is the treaty's 40th anniversary. In terms of diplomacy, we have a considerable responsibility to protect the people of Japan from the North Korean threats. In addition, with regard to the Japan-Russia relationship, this year President Putin will run in the presidential election. In May, I will visit Russia and seek to make any possible progress with the peace treaty negotiations in order to resolve the territorial issue between our two countries. On economic partnership agreements (EPAs), I will work hard to ensure that signatures of the TPP11 are attained. I will continue to make use of EPAs, which will serve as new engines for Abenomics, in cementing economic growth.
In promoting economic growth, the biggest issue is whether wages will increase this spring. Earlier I exchanged a firm handshake with the President. My feelings have been conveyed to the President. I hope everyone at Jiji Press will have something to be pleased about. I think that wages may rise by 3 percent. I expect that if this goes well, we will continue to see a positive economic cycle.
I would like to close my New Year's remarks by wishing everyone a successful year in 2018. Thank you very much."

The image I have used in my poster is one that I took myself in a previous post.
The image I have used in my poster is one that I took myself in a previous post.
I am happy with my recreation as the programs were new to me, I didn't know how to use many features or where they were located. I definitely could improve upon my recreation but I feel it was a good first try on software I am unfamiliar with.
These YouTube links would help me in this task
To reinforce my understanding of the conventional technical design features, I created a lick and stick mock up of what a professional poster looks like. By analysing what is where and why the design features are used I have expanded my knowledge which will able me to create a cover by myself. I noticed that it is very important to design your magazine cover using simplistic methods of just felt pens and post it notes as you have the freedom to choose what you want to be where and nothing is too complicated to redo and change around.
The image may be viewed by clicking on it.
This is a mood board of 6 photos I picked out. Images gain a completely different meaning depending on the way they are taken, angles bring life to the image expressing hierarchy, colours bring emotion to the image. Each of these images gives off a different story or situation. I chose these images because they all mean something different to each other, and this is beautiful because it is nothing but a still frame yet it can change an onlookers mood or feeling and is great practise for my personal photography skills.
By experiencing this task and completing it my own way has taught me how important certain skills are within the media. I have now been able to learn and understand new phrases and techniques which will help with my magazine image.
My favourite shot out of these would have to be the bottom right one. This image uses the rule of thirds in correlation with my models facial expression, by having the main focus on the far right it leaves the whole left open showing that there is more out there to be understood. A slightly canted angle gives that emotion of confusion or sadness as my model is not quite in line or symmetrical with the world. Also, the location of this image really can tell a story, as it is just outside of an empty doorway next to a concrete wall which gives the meaning that he has his mind on something else rather than where he is.
With a partner I explored the ways in what gives the image its meaning, such as the use of angles and distance to show the features of these aspects. When taking images, distance affects what the audience is able to focus on, a long distance shows a lot more than the main focus which can present isolation as the model is on their own whereas a closeup shot fills the screen with the model and may show importance.
Camera angles aid the production of meaning, a low angle shot makes the model appear more dominant and strong but on the other hand a higher angle shot of the audience viewing the model from above makes the model look weaker and vulnerable. This creates a hierarchy in the scene which adds to the story or situation.
Depth of field is an important feature as it can be used to tell the story of not only the model, but the onlooker. A distant shot of the model from blurred bushes can represent the photographer as somebody mysterious, much like a private investigator who sticks to the shadows. By blurring parts of the image we are also able to get a much better idea of the main focus of the image.
Image "2107" was the most detailed for me as it included many features that worked well together. The model is placed in the middle of the three thirds which emphasises the focus of the image, this is paired up with depth of field through an object which is blurred out to show that it is insignificant rather than the model who is in focus and is significant to the image. Key lighting important and on the models face there is a shaded but also a light part giving an idea that the model has two sides. One image that didn't particularly look good is image "2118" as the exposure was far too high as some detail is lost in much of the scenery such as the bushes which makes it hard to analyse.
This first image is our representation of what country/western looks like to us. We aimed for quite a rough fatherly look as this is easily shown and is a typical thought when thinking about the country. The class suggested that my character looked quite rough yet laid back due to the strong nature of his clothing and the way he is carrying himself.
This mood board of a country/western setting allowed me and my partner to get a real feel of the genre. A country man is seen to be hard working as they tend to live around open areas and are quite rugged and well built which gives the feeling of a fatherly figure as he is dedicated and protective, whilst being open.
I captured the country feel by looking at famous singers of the genre, and the typical clothing they would wear. The instruments were also an important feature as they are quite earthly and give out a joyous and relaxing noise. A golden/yellow colour scheme is quite a warm and wholesome pallet which really gave me that homely feel and is very comforting.
I took multiple shots of my partner to get a good look at how different perspectives affect the way in which my character may be interpreted. He has been photographed in such a way that his appearance in the contact sheet gives him a stronger feel due to his body language. Lighting is very important for my genre of country as a sharp white look gives out a cold hard feel, and this is wrong. A golden reflector was used to give a warm look and feel with a yellowish tinge to him and the background.
This is the final image I chose because I felt it represented my genre appropriately. My partners body language gives off the expression of confidence and control but it is also a welcoming look as if he is quite protective and not provocative. The use of lighting gave an added effect with the way I have used shadows. There is a mysterious feel as his hat shades the eyes and his clothing is varied in light.
This poster stood out to me because it was different in many ways to any other poster I have seen. The simplicity of the black against the white presents an easy way of expressing emotion or feeling and the font shows the uniqueness of the band giving it the idea that it is different to others. Every feature included in the poster has a symbolic meaning, from the masked character in the middle, to the information at the bottom, everything is there for a reason.
My magazine will be influenced by this through the use of my colours as I will pay much more attention to them and I will include key features such as appropriate fonts and objects in the image.

Oriental wok dish with plucked chicken a la Sandra
What do you need: (For 4 people, 8 points per person)
250 grams of wok noodles (cooked according to directions on the package)
500 grams chicken fillet (pre-cooked, see preparation and start with this before you follow the rest of the recipe)
1 red (pointed) bell pepper (diced)
250 grams (chestnut) mushrooms (diced)
1 onion (coarsely chopped)
2 shallots (chopped)
1 red pepper (small cut)
4 cloves of garlic (crushed and chopped)
100 grams of bean sprouts (washed)
40 grams of rocket (cut)
piece of fresh ginger (2x2 cm, grated)
1 vegetable stock cube (dissolved in 50 ml of water)
4 tablespoons sweet soy sauce (sweet)
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1.5 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon of sesame oil
1 tablespoon Greensweet Erythritol (that's 0 points)
pepper and salt from the mill (to taste)
possibly spring onions (does not necessarily have to be)
This is how you make it:
Put the chicken fillets in water with freshly ground pepper and put on the fire. When the water is boiling, heat the fire half-turn and cook for 8 minutes with the lid closed on the pan. After boiling, drain and allow to cool and fluff.
Prepare all other things for the dish and put everything ready ..
Fry the onion, shallot, pepper and garlic for a few minutes in the sesame oil. Extinguish with the broth. Add the peppers, mushrooms and ginger and stir fry for another minute or 5 on half high heat. Add the soy sauce, soy sauce, hoisin sauce, sugar and oyster sauce and stir fry for another minute or 3 minutes. Add the chilled chicken and stir fry for a minute. Finally add the wok noodles and mix. Wok well together until everything is well warm. Taste and add pepper and / or salt to taste (I have not added anything).
Put the arugula in a deep plate and scoop the food. Serve the bean sprouts and possibly spring onions separately.
Enjoy your meal!
This is not a spicy dish but a tasty dish. If you want a little more spice, replace the hoisin sauce with 2 tablespoons of Calvé peanut butter and a tablespoon of sambal oelek. There will be a point, then the court is 9 points per person.
