|Godflesh chronology
Godflesh is the debut extended play (EP) by English industrial metal band Godflesh. It was originally released in 1988 through Swordfish Records and later saw several reissues on Earache Records with two additional songs. An unexpected underground success, the eponymous EP made it onto the UK Indie Chart and peaked at position 20. Though not supported by any singles or music videos at the time, a fan-made video for "Avalanche Master Song" has since been made official by the band.
Godflesh was recorded and produced over two months in Birmingham by frontman Justin Broadrick and bassist G. C. Green, both of who had played together in an early version of the band known as Fall of Because. Despite often being overshadowed by the critical success of Godflesh's first full-length studio album, 1989's Streetcleaner, the EP was one of the first industrial metal releases and helped define the genre's sound with programmed drum beats, heavy metal guitar and unusual emphasis on bass. Its and the band's title strive to reconcile the potentially deep and meaningful impact music has on people with its harsher, more physical side.
Fall of Because, the band that would eventually become Godflesh,[1] temporarily dissolved in 1987 when Justin Broadrick left to drum for the English experimental group Head of David.[2][3] After only six weeks with that band, Broadrick was fired for being, according to him, "too noisy" of a drummer.[4] In April 1988, he and Fall of Because bassist G. C. Green reformed their project under the name Godflesh and set to work on a self-titled EP,[5][6] which would be recorded in June and July of the same year at a studio in Birmingham; Broadrick and Green undertook production duties themselves.[7] Crucially, it was in this reunion that Broadrick shifted from acoustic drums to vocals and guitar and that the percussion was instead programmed on an Alesis HR-16 drum machine.[8][9] The decision to employ stiff, mechanical beats rather than a traditional human drummer would prove pivotal for Godflesh and industrial metal at large.[9] About the title of the EP and of the band at large, Broadrick said, "I heard someone once say that music is the voice of God. The word 'God' conjures something immense and inconceivable. The 'flesh' part is what effects you on a physical level. Our music is loud and destructive."[10]
As one of the first releases to merge the genres of industrial and metal,[11][12] the music of Godflesh is defined by its programmed drumming, Broadrick's low guitar and growls and Green's pummelling bass.[8][13] The EP's sound, informed by Swans, Big Black, Killing Joke and Throbbing Gristle, is notably heavy and slow, built upon the deliberately repetitive pounding of the drum machine.[14][15][16] Simon Turner of Melody Maker highlighted the EP's discipline and restraint as its greatest asset, praising its so-called "cruelty of denial".[16] The songs are often glacially paced, focusing on exploring chords through repetition, and Broadrick's vocals (either screamed or wailed) are sparse.[11][17] Martin Walters of AllMusic described the guitar as "explosive",[14] and Jason Birchmeier of the same publication called the tempo "lumbering".[9] Alternative Press's Jason Pettigrew characterised the EP as "oppressive and brutal".[18]
Unlike many metal releases with guttural vocals and downtuned instruments, the EP's tone is not overtly masculine. About this subject, Melody Maker's Simon Reynolds described Godflesh as "terminal", or at the end of musical development, writing, "Rather than feminise themselves, they'd rather their masculinity was defeated, their strong bodies crushed and pulverised."[15] Broadrick has often noted this himself, referring to the band as defensive instead of offensive.[19][20] When asked directly about the topic in 1990, he answered, "We despise the celebration of male ego that comes with most metal. It's pathetic; all these guys with their penis extension guitars just make us laugh."[21]
Godflesh was released in 1988 through the independent label Swordfish Records.[22] Distributed only on vinyl at first, the EP was a surprise underground hit that reached position 20 on the UK Indie Chart;[23] Digby Pearson of Earache Records took notice and acquired Godflesh, promising them wider circulation since Swordfish could not fulfil international demand.[24][25] In 1990, a year after the acquisition, Godflesh was reissued on CD with two bonus tracks.[26] These songs, "Wounds" and "Streetcleaner 2", were in-house remixes of songs from the band's debut full-length album and first release on Earache, Streetcleaner (1989).[15] Godflesh was remastered and again reissued in 2014, this time as a gatefold double LP.[27] On all versions of the EP, the cover artwork was taken from the 1966 John Frankenheimer film Seconds.[28]
"Avalanche Master Song", the EP's introduction and a track that MetalSucks described as a "classic",[29] is one of few Godflesh songs accompanied with a music video. Directed by three fans of the band (Jack Sargent, Julian Weaver and Stephanie Watson) who had followed Broadrick since his days drumming with Head of David, the video comprises bootleg recordings of early Godflesh concerts.[30] Some of the footage is from the band's first public show in Brixton, London.[30] Interspersed among performance clips are brief shots of Christian iconography, something typical to Godflesh. This video was officially released for the first time in 2001 on the compilation In All Languages.[30] The title "Avalanche Master Song" is derived from two Leonard Cohen songs, "Avalanche" and "Master Song" from 1971 and 1967 respectively.[31]
Critical reception and legacy[edit]
Godflesh received positive reviews, but it was mostly overshadowed by the band's later releases. Martin Walters of AllMusic called the EP "one of the most influential recordings in the industrial metal scene", but suggested that new fans should listen to Streetcleaner, Slavestate (1991) or Pure (1992) first.[14] Walters went on to describe the EP as "pioneering" and said that it "undeniably marked a high point in avant metal".[14] Also from AllMusic, Greg Prato said Godflesh helped "pave the way for countless copycat acts",[8] and Jonathan Gold of the Los Angeles Times suggested that the EP influenced the sound of many metal groups, especially Ministry.[12] Melody Maker published three discrete reviews of Godflesh from 1988 to 1990, each from different authors. In the first, Simon Turner praised the EP's focus on a drum machine as well as Broadrick's "huge but overawed" vocals.[16] Turner appreciated the vulnerability of the music contrasted against its harshness and weight.[16] In 1989, an author credited as 'P.O.' favorably contrasted Godflesh against then-current music trends, expressing a struggle to find what genre the band fit into.[17] In 1990, Simon Reynolds reviewed the Earache reissue of Godflesh, admiring its extreme weight and blend of diverse influences.[15]
Since the late 1980s and early 1990s, Godflesh's reputation has grown and critics have retrospectively looked at their debut EP in a favorable light; Joe DiVita of Loudwire called Godflesh one of the "most exciting releases ever in heavy metal"[32] and in their book The New Metal Masters, H. P. Newquist and Rich Maloof wrote that Godflesh was, at the time, the most ominous and malevolent music in existence.[11] BraveWords called the EP "genre-defining".[33]

It's Antoine Griezmann's birthday on Thursday (and also the release of his new Netflix documentary), but the 28-year-old hasn't had a good few months. Crashing out of this season's Champions League to Juventus ended any chance of silverware for Atletico Madrid, and sources told ESPN FC that Griezmann is looking for a route out of the club this summer.
The France striker has bagged 130 goals in 248 games for Los Rojiblancos so there will no doubt be plenty of offers on the table, given his release clause reportedly drops to €100m in July. But what are his options? You can vote for the club you think he is most likely to join and see the results.
Information from Jean Emile Jammine was used in this report.

I'm restocking my herb shelf! I've been meaning to for quite a while… I have a bad habit of knowing substitutions, so when I run out of one herb for a particular type of home remedy I just substitute it with another, and then the empty jar just gathers dust until that substitution runs out. I dry and store almost everything, not just herbs. I dry and store fruit, flowers, and roots and collect flower essences. A lot of people have asked where I get my herbs and I have two answers for that: 1 – I grow them myself… at my aunt's house… even though she waters them and grows them… lol! 2 – I buy most of my herbs from G. Baldwin & Co.
G. Baldwin & Co. Have been supplying herbs, tinctures, herbal pills, soaps, essences and all sorts of holistic products since 1844, so I trust them a whole lot! Most of their products last a very long time, although the oldest product I have (and don't use) is an old balm bought during the 60s. – Obviously I wasn't born then (secretly I wish I was… Not fair!) – It belongs to my aunt. She has a habit of keeping hold of everything, which is nice. It still smells nice… waxy…. I dare not apply any to my lips… my skin will most probably melt off!
After a while I gave up updating my list as laziness and tiredness took over mind once I get into 'work' mode. I can't do anything when work is almost 24/7 for very little money. I go in and out of these moments where I get up, make a list, and schedule to buy them in the near future. The day before yesterday I was on the phone with my CuppyCake and we had a great chat about herbs and natural medicine. Some things he corrected me on and recommended people to research and I would follow through with things he didn't know. With his help I started adding more items to an herbal shopping list like Vitamin D capsules and various exotic fruits high in minerals that the body needs. I have told him of a few health problems that bug me a lot such as my migraines, which are not triggered by light or food.
I start out with a Retinal migraine… then it develops into the Basilar Artery migraine… If I'm at home I'm lucky to catch it as my lips will go numb first, then I have a sort of 'fake' stroke. Mine come on due to lack of sleep and stress.
Retinal Migraine
Another rare migraine, the retinal type starts with a temporary, partial, or complete loss of vision in one eye. It is followed by a dull ache behind that eye that may spread to the rest of the head.
Basilar Artery Migraine
This very rare form of migraine is accompanied by dizziness, confusion or lack of balance. It comes on suddenly and can result in fleeting visual disturbances, the inability to speak properly, ringing in the ears, and vomiting. Throbbing occurs in the back of the head. The basilar artery migraine is strongly related to hormonal influences and primarily strikes young adult women and adolescent girls; as sufferers age, the migraine with aura may replace the basilar artery type.
Herbs I use for migraines and other health benefitting properties are listed as below:
- Feverfew
- Tarragon
- Parsley
- Ginger
- Meadowsweet
- Elderflower
- Sage
- Willowbark
- (Serbian) Ginseng
- Corriander
- Cinnamon
- Cardamon
- Pimento aka All Spice
- German Chamomile
- Angelica
- Rose Root
- Lady's Mantle
- Yarrow
- Skullcap
- Elecampane Root
The first 9 as far as I've experienced are great for migraines, and I either make a butter out of the first four or drink small cappuccino sized teas from them. For the ladies who get pain from erm… those rather female moments Lady's Mantle, Yarrow and Skullcap are good to ease pain and make you feel more comfortable. Skullcap sadly is a herb that will be banned very soon in the EU so I'm stocking up! I have scheduled them for the 1st… Fingers crossed I buy 'em!
Yeah right…. 😛

Land Rover Discovery Sport SE 2015 Design Exterior Interior – The new Land Rover Discovery Sport fills the gap left by the leaving Freelander. Kind of. Land Rover is resolved this is an incremental new model, yet its value, size and situating recommends it is the section level Landie for the time being. Until the new Defender substitution touches base in 2016, in any event.
You'll appreciate seven seats in the Discovery Sport, however, alluding to its Discovery-ish common sense instilled from the very first moment on a spotless sheet of paper. While Range Rovers will include extravagance and shimmer and let's realistic a level of bling to procedures, humble Land Rovers will stick a solid bit of common sense and family-agreeableness into the condition in future.
The two are connected under the skin, as well. The Sport utilizes Evoque running rigging, with the same motor, transmission and Haldex focus coupling, controlled by the same Terrain Response framework. Later in 2015 new inhouse Ingenium motors will arrive, yet until further notice we test the single engine accessible, the natural PSA-Ford-JLR turbodiesel.
The 187bhp 2.2-liter diesel motor and nine-speed programmed gearbox are solid, for the most part smooth and smooth, the auto riding admirably on the Icelandic test courses of our first drive. We've yet to drive the auto in the UK and will overhaul this Discovery Sport survey with further redesigns at the appropriate time.
The inside of the Disco Sport should be a family-accommodating retreat, and this is our first opportunity to survey Land Rover's achievement in the lodge plan outside the flashbulbed environs of an engine appear.
The dashboard will frighten no one used to advanced LR cockpits: it's upright and straightforward with a satisfying Tonka Toy straightforwardness to the controls. There's a solid linearity to the configuration – the focal touchscreen shaping an even band over the dash and instruments, while most optional controls are in the upright focus console, where huge, plain catches prevail.
It's exclusive when you're sitting in the Discovery Sport that you welcome the nature of the thing. This is an exceptionally well fabricated auto, a standout amongst the most perfectly completed lodges we've found in this area in a very long time. The materials are well picked and satisfying to touch; the turning dials work with deft accuracy; the full cowhide upholstery sitting cheek-by-cheek with stout elastic mats in our test auto in Iceland.
Inside the Discovery Sport is open, but on the other hand it's cozy, similar to you're driving an ordinary family auto as opposed to a scow. The secondary lounges of the Discovery Sport slide on a rail, so you can push the center seat back for legitimate limo-style legroom, and there's the third column obviously, however on this outing seat #6 and #7 are excess and caught under an elastic mat. They're entirely little and best left to youthful kids.

Nebraska Sets the Standard on Government Accountability
Lincoln, Neb.
Nebraska has always been a little different. We cast electors for president based on congressional districts, not winner-take-all for the state. We have a single, nonpartisan body as the legislature, the Unicameral. We also have a habit of fiscal responsibility that's kept spending in check and taxes within reason -- and has helped sustain a modestly robust economy amid a severe national recession.

Sehome dominates Burlington-Edison
Sehome's girls' swim team swept all the events on Tuesday, Oct. 14, at Fidalgo Pool. Led by Sophie Grambo's standout performances in the 50 free and 100 fly, the Mariners topped Burlington-Edison 138-31.
"She stood in for our normal 100 butterflyer, who happened to be sick, and did a fine job," Sehome coach Don Helling said in a phone interview. "It was tough having a late-night meet when we're not used to it. It threw us off just a little bit."
Alia Malella dropped a tenth of a second in the 500 freestyle, bettering her state qualifying time.
Sehome faces Anacortes in a non-conference meet on Thursday, Oct. 16, at Fidalgo Pool before facing Anacortes and Squalicum next week in two contests likely to decide the Northwest Conference title.
Sehome 138, Burlington-Edison 31
200 medley relay: Sehome (Alia Malella, Hannah Holmgren, Sophie Grambo, Eva Baumgarten) 2:03.89; 200 freestyle: Gwen Roley (Sehome) 2:07.79; 200 individual medley: Miranda Blackburn (Sehome) 2:40.27; 50 freestyle: Sophie Grambo (Sehome) 27.48; 200 freestyle relay: Sehome (Elle Pullman, Megan Madel, Gwen Roley, Hannah Holmgren) 1:55.51; 100 butterfly: Sophie Grambo (Sehome) 1:16.06; 100 freestyle: Hannah Holmgren (Sehome) 1:03.14; 500 freestyle: Alia Malella (Sehome) 5:39.59; 100 backstroke: Alia Malella (Sehome) 1:04.52; 100 breaststroke: Hannah Holmgren (Sehome) 1:17.73; 400 freestyle relay: Sehome (Alia Malella, Elle Pullman, Sophie Grambo, Gwen Roley) 4:03.88.

CERN Lectures on Cosmology and Particle Physics
Here's a blast from the somewhat-recent past: a set of five lectures I gave at CERN in 2005. It looks like the quality of the recording is pretty good. The first lecture was an overview at a colloquium level; i.e. meant for physicists, but not necessarily with any knowledge of cosmology. The next four are blackboard talks with a greater focus; they try to bring people up to speed on the basic tools you need to think about modern early-universe cosmology.
Obviously I'm not going to watch all five hours of these, so I'll just have to hope that I'm relatively coherent throughout. (I do remember being a bit jet-lagged.) But I do notice that, while it was only a few years ago, I do appear relatively young and enthusiastic. Ah, the ravages of Time…
Lecture One: Introduction to Cosmology
Lecture Two: Dark Matter
Lecture Three: Dark Energy
Lecture Four: Thermodynamics and the Early Universe
Lecture Five: Inflation and Beyond

As you are celebrating this Independence Day, I hope you are spending it with family and friends. I also hope you take a moment to reflect on what this holiday once actually meant. If you have not studied any old boring history concerning the hopes and dreams of our founding fathers, I wish you would take some time to do so. You will be shocked and appalled how far away we have diverged from their ideas. You can also read some writings from them and you will see they warned us about exactly what is occurring now, and how they urged us to be vigilant and prevent our current problems. Sadly, we have allowed our freedoms to slip away in the name of political correctness. God Bless America!
One of our local volunteer fire departments sells smoked pork shoulders to raise funds and we always get two to carry to the family get-together. I decided to try it out last night to make sure it was ok. I had a pulled pork sandwich with home-made slaw and a cold Sam Adams. That was mighty tasty, I might do that again tonight!
Even though it is a holiday, our local farmers market was open today. They had a big crowd of venders and buyers too. I bought some nice sweet corn to eat over the next few days. Sweet Thing doesn't eat corn so it is all mine! BAH-HA-HA-HA!! Have a safe and happy holiday ya'll!

I purchased three lady palms late last year and thought they would look nice in the corners of my family room. The plants looked great for the first few months but now seem to be thinning out and looking a bit ragged with foliage that is a bit off color, especially the plant that is in a darker corner. I thought these were low-maintenance plants that required little light. Is there something that I can do to improve their appearance?
— Allison Pendel, Libertyville
The lady palm (Rhapis excelsa) is a small fan palm that can perform well indoors due to its tolerance of the lower light intensity, lower humidity and colder temperatures that are typical of a home's growing conditions. It grows from multiple stems, each topped with upright fronds. As the name implies, the fronds are split into fan-like segments. The lady palm is one of the best suited to indoor cultivation of all the fan palms. There are a number of named varieties of this palm to choose from.
This plant will grow best in bright, indirect light from a window or skylight all day long. It is likely that your plants are declining because of the low light where you placed them. Providing proper light levels is probably the most important factor to optimizing the performance of your palms. Remove lower leaves on the fronds as they yellow and trim off brown tips while keeping the natural shape of the leaf as needed. Sharp scissors work well for this. Palms lose inner and lower fronds in low light, so remove them as they thin out and begin looking bad. Avoid cutting back the tips of the stems since that is where the growing points are located. Cut out the entire stem when most of the fronds have been pruned off. This encourages new growth at the base of the plant if light conditions are adequate. This does sound unlikely in your situation.
Since the plants have lasted about a year in the room and are currently in decline, you are probably better off buying new plants once a year or so to keep the display looking good. Lady palms are widely available for purchase, so it is easy to find them in a variety of sizes. The light level needs to be increased for the plants to perform properly. If you have a sunnier spot in your home, try growing two sets of palms and rotating them between the darker family room and sunnier location every couple of months. Switching the plants between the corners of your room every two to three weeks may help too. The plants that are off display could be grown outside during the summer in their recovery period.
Lady palms are relatively slow-growing plants and need light fertilization that is best applied during the growing season. Use slow-release fertilizer in spring or a biweekly diluted liquid fertilizer. A plant that has an overall yellowish color may need fertilizer. Avoid fertilizing during the winter. Water the palms thoroughly as they prefer to stay moist but not waterlogged. If the growing medium is kept too wet, root rot and damage will eventually show up in the foliage with browning tips or spotting on the new growth.
Palms that are kept too dry can develop gray foliage and burned tips. Roots are typically clustered at the bottom of the container, so they may still be moist when the top of the medium is dry. Reduce watering to once a month or every other week depending on temperature and light levels in your home during the winter. Palms that are grown in low light levels require less watering year round. Keep them out of cold drafts in the winter.

text: Ok, about the video. I really love the image of Regina Spektor as a kindly music teacher. It is so very, very something a nice New York Russian Jewish girl would be doing if she wasn't a pop star. In fact, Spektor's mother is a music teacher, and Spektor attended musical and creative arts schools throughout her life. So it's clearly a very near and dear profession. Obviously, it would be a loss to the wider world, but it's a realistic alternate reality in which Regina Spektor never makes it out of the coffee shop scene but spends her life impacting the lives of students, one at a time. She seems like she would the kind of teacher who brings homemade pastries to class every morning. Also, on a slightly unrelated note, I think Regina Spektor is really huggable, and that's not something I would say about very many pop stars. It's nice when nice people become successful!

Cultural: A look at a Warsaw trip from a quilter's point of view
Yesterday I went with my nephew into Warsaw as I needed to take care of something at a Copy General in downtown Warsaw - something for our ministry. While I was at it, I had a copy of one of my quilting books made into a spiral bound book. I have wanted to make Judy's Snake River Log cabin quilt ever since I first saw it (2011 ish).
Then, while we were downtown, I found some goodies at EMPIK - it's fabric, of course. I .thought you'd like to see their charm packs, fat quarters and half meter pieces. There were no patchwork magazines of any type, however. (Empik is a bookstore, for those of you who don't know.)
The overall display isn't all that big...but it's something!
A little closer up: The current zloty/dollar exchange rate is about 4/1.
These packages are 5" squares - 20 in the package.
These are half meter packs:
More eye candy. It's as much as I got today.
I did let 4 pieces come home with me. There were half meter pieces and cost about $6 each - the quality about like Cranston print works - not soft and silky feeling at all.
After we ate, we went into a store called Saturn, where they had 3 sewing machines. These are definitely "supermarket" machines - but this is what the average person can easily pick up any day of the week.
The first one is a Husqvarna, 698 zl, which at today's exchange rate is $173.
The next one, a Redstar (I've never heard of it) is $132.
The last one I can show you today -- a Polish machine, Lucznik, is $296 at today's exchange rate. As you can see, they are all pretty popular hobby type machines. The throat is pretty small - making it difficult to quilt a larger quilt.
I stepped into the bathroom and they had this interesting tidbit on the inside of the door of the toilet stall. I'm sure you wanted to know this!
Since I was with my nephew, I made him stand and smile. You can see the Marriott in the background here as we head towards the mall.
As we rounded the corner to head to the mall, Zloty Tarasa (Golden Terarace), the Palace of Culture becomes evident. This was a gift from Stalin to Poland. They've made it into a place where they have conventions and conferences.
After the mall, where we ate and saw the sewing machines and fabric, we went to visit Old Town, Warsaw. Here is the big square we came to first.
This is part of the original wall. Most of "Old Town" in Warsaw isn't really all that old as it was destroyed in teh Warsaw Uprising.
I left a little money for this singer. He was selling his cds - folk music - and was actually pretty good.
We caught a bus to get us back to the train station.
Here is Peter so patiently posing on the train. This is actually on the way into Warsaw.
After we got off the train, I saw this lonely bike parked outside the train station.
We made a couple more stops on our way home...but that's it for today. Check back tomorrow for another adventure.
Maybe some day I'll actually make it into Warsaw to the couple of fabric shops I have heard are here (that carry quilting cottons, that is). There are lots of fabric shops in the area - but mostly they carry dressy fabrics.

Scott Pruitt began receiving round-the-clock security from the moment he stepped foot inside the Environmental Protection Agency in February 2017, the agency's inspector general said Monday.
"EPA's Protective Service Detail began providing 24/7 coverage of the Administrator the first day he arrived," Inspector General Arthur Elkins wrote in response to inquiries from Democratic Sens. Sheldon Whitehouse of Rhode Island and Thomas Carper of Delaware about what threats prompted Pruitt's nonstop security, which has cost in excess of $3 million. "The decision was made by the Office of Criminal Enforcement, Forensics and Training after being informed that Mr. Pruitt requested 24/7 protection once he was confirmed as Administrator."
The inspector general's office, which investigates threats made against any EPA employees, "played no role in this decision," Elkins added.
Agency spokesman Jahan Wilcox said in a statement Monday that "as the report says, EPA's Office of Inspector General does not determine security assessments. EPA's Protective Service Detail handles security decisions and this particular decision was made before Administrator Pruitt arrived at EPA."
Some Cabinet members routinely receive heightened security as part of their job, including the secretaries of defense, state and homeland security. FBI agents accompany the attorney general around the clock. But for other Cabinet posts, the level of protection varies based on circumstances. Early in the Trump administration, for example, controversial Education Secretary Betsy DeVos received a full protective detail, at an estimated initial cost of $1 million a month.
At the EPA, no prior administrator has received 24/7 protection. Pruitt's immediate predecessor, Gina McCarthy, typically had a security detail that accompanied her to work each day, to meetings and events, and dropped her off at home each night. The detail also traveled with her on official business. But McCarthy's detail was roughly a third the size of the one that now guards Pruitt.
Agency officials, including Pruitt, have said repeatedly that he has experienced more threats than previous administrators. And Pruitt has maintained that he left decisions about the size and intensity of his security detail, as well as related decisions such as traveling first class for safety, to Pasquale "Nino" Perrotta, the special agent in charge of protecting him.
Perrotta, who has been under scrutiny for the expenditures related to Pruitt's security and travel, retired from the agency late last month.
"A threat to a federal employee's personal security is extremely serious, but so is using security as pretext for special treatment on the public dime," Whitehouse and Carper said in a statement Monday. "This letter raises troubling questions about whether Administrator Pruitt told the truth during his testimony before the House. Now more than ever, Mr. Pruitt should come clean about his spending of taxpayer dollars on all manner of extravagances, and our colleagues on both sides of the aisle should demand he do so."

It is going to be 5 years and Nepal's "meditating" Buddha Boy had still did not apologize for any of his past crimes. One of many o these was also STEALING his kidnapped victim, Slovak Marici's many valuable possessions.
In March 21, 2017 "Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha Guru" is organizing one more of his series of crowded prayer sessions, which are always arranged for the same time when he tortures and/or beats some kidnapped people in the background – in most cases, literally behind the stage The World Peace Maitri Puja 2017, in Kathmandu's Bungamati. In a Third World country which has problems with law enforcement and corruption, he can be sure of total impunity concerning his past crimes against more than 40 people. Police and politicians are not only bribed not to act against his past, present and future crimes, but are even employed as bodyguards to protect him from those allegedly many enemies which are endangering his safety for years (a paranoid claim never proved).
When in 2012 Bomjon kidnapped and held 3 months 2 women, including Slovak Marici, the situation was not different. Though the local police, sent by direct eyewitnesses of the kidnapping, allegedly arrived for a search once, but kidnapper-guru and his attendants, was not held, even when the witness account confirmed them as kidnappers. They left the jungle and the two women there without any more attempt to find them…
The crimes of Bomjon against the two women had been justified by Mani Lama, ex-health minister as "allowing them to meditate nearby the guru" , in the Press Conference held after the women were released, thanks to the pressure from the media and friends of Marici. The fact that the women had bruises, broken bones, shaved heads and were extremely malnourished, was not explained by Mani Lama.
Kishore Sherchand, a long-time US-Nepalese devotee of "Maha Sambodhi", had met Marici back in 2011, when she was still a volunteer translator for Bomjon and reporter for the Western community, in Halkhoriya Jungle. Later, after her release, he wrote emails to her with confidence that all her stolen belongings would be soon returned., and she would receive a public apology and reconciliation from Ram Bomjon and his Sangha (group of followers). Kishore ensured Marici in 2012 that he would personally look after that her stolen ACER NETBOOK (called "laptop" in Nepal) would be returned to her.
With this mission he went to visit Maha Sambodhi Bomjon in Sindhuli District, where he had to leave after he was evicted from Halkhoriya. He then stopped to write emails and his "correctness' faded away. Later, when requested by Marici, he confirmed that he came to different thoughts after meeting Andrea Good, Ram Bomjon's main foreign evangelist at the time. Andrea lie-fully claimed to him that I gave up my stolen belongings because I felt remorse for "disturbing Guruji…
Needless to say, even if Kishore acknowledged that the sexual abuse, keeping in captivity and stealing were not OK, and he even criticized ex-minister Mani Lama for him supporting such deeds, he did not do anything to conciliate or return Marici's belongings:
After this email Kishore did not write about Marici's belongings, the sexual abuse and captivity anymore. Instead, his next move was to organize a campaign to stop all Nepalese media publishing articles about Buddha Boy's crimes and deleting all past articles about them. His campaign, backed by rich sponsors, Western devotees and Nepalese politicians and mafia leaders, was finally successful.
(Kishore Sherchand is a suporter of Hillary Clinton in the USA and was organizing a campaign in California to convince Nepalese-US citizens to vote for her. In the meantime, he is organizing Ram Bomjon's USA tour, its venues and logistics…)
It was foolishness to expect that Bomjon would return property to his victim of his own crimes, which had been never ever even prosecuted. He himself does not need those little things, but for Marici they had been personal gifts and holders of records personally important (photos of deceased family members, books, all-life work). Until now, when he is organizing the World Peace Maitri Puja 2017, there were no signs that anyone would feel it as a crime to rob a foreigner of her property in Nepal: neither the local police, which is said to have held at least the Acer Netbook for a short time in 2012 (though a Russian devotee, Alexander Ilichev tried to retrieve it for Marici, when in Nepal, but without success), nor the Nepali Tamang Buddhists, for whom Bomjon is a god, who is allowed to even steal. Relatives of Ram Bomjon in his family house informed Marici later that they had seen her laptop in the premises of Bomjon's Sangha again…
Bomjon who owns millions of rupees and is traveling on helicopters, does not need a cheap laptop. It was rather part of his humiliation, similar like shaving the head of his victims, whom he openly called "witches". Apparently the Buddhist followers of Bomjon think that if one is a witch, one has not only no right for enjoying human rights and law in Nepal, but of course no right for her possession: does the deeds of the "guru of gurus" is apologizable… Ivy Jugoa, the President of International Sangha, based in the Netherlands, had not only called Marici and Mata Ani, the two victims "two evil witches", but also told Michiel Hegener, a former follower, that the Sangha had found proofs in Marici's laptop about her witchcraft! Ivy Jugoa is a kindergarten teacher in Holland, but her alter ego agrees with torturing witches and stealing witches laptops… (Would you like her to teach your toddler "European ethics"?)
Below is a list of the stolen belongings, in illustrative pictures from the Internet. Only the Acer netbook has a photo, below, made by Nika L. of Russia in 2011, in the Black and White restaurant of Bouddhanath, Kathmandu.
The Acer was a machine with unusually big memory and had 3 external batteries, as well as a headphone to it. Its screen was shiny (mirror-type). It was a new machine, bought in Prague, from by an Internet purchase. 2 or 3 USB drives filled wit personal data and photos, had also disappeared.
Apart from the computer, the GREEN JACKET seen on this photo, had been also stolen while Bomjon tied Marici in the jungle on chains. Her big trekking bag had been left open to anyone in one of his concrete houses in the public area. After Marici was released, half of the bag was missing. Still humbled by the overpowering terror, she was afraid to request for her stolen things, happy to get out from the Hell of Ram Bomjon and out of Nepal, where noone was protecting her human rights, as of victim's.
The SHAWL Maric had on her, had been first used to fix her broken hand, but when rebroken at the order of Ram Bomjon by Molam Lama, a monk, during the captivity, Marici's left hand was also broken by Bomjon, she could not make a bandage of the right hand anymore. the shawl was used as the only means to clean away the biologicaldirt caused by Darshan Subba Limbu's orally forced sexual abuse, as at the order of Maha Sambodhi Dharma Sangha, his captive was not allowed to wash herself all 3 months!
Parts of the shawl had been put to safe places to use it as a DNA proof against the sexual abuse by Darshan Subba Limbu (currently absconded to the United Kingdom).
The clothes seen on the photo had been exactly the ones worn by Marici when she was kidnapped on 28, Dec, 2011.
Image: an example of how the stolen ID card looked like.
One of the things never returned is Marici's ID CARD. Not of much use for immediate need (her passports had been returned so that she can be deported), Marici did not dare to request it from her captors when released. Yet, knowing that in a Third World country falsification is quite widespread, there is a danger of misusing the iD card by Ram Bomjon and his Sangha. He already has a precedent, when a fake birth certificate on another than his own name had been issued for him in Ratanpuri's VDC Office. That time, typically, the officer was prosecuted, Bomjon and his followers not…
Possession stolen personal documents is a crime! Even if the robber is the reincarnation of Buddha or the Maitriya!
The tiny silver colored Chinese MP3 PLAYER stolen during the same time by Bomjon and his followers in Halkhoriya, was a gift from the father of Marici's deceased baby, similarly as the laptop. It had been filled with music by him as well. Apart from it, it was also used as a storing facility for numerous photos and personal files. It was stolen together with the netbook and ID card, and other personal items, during Marici's captivity in the jungle.
The LEATHER-COVER OXFORD BIBLE was a gift from a Swiss landlady where Marici used to live in 2000. Coming from a Christian backgroun, Europeans have respect to the Bible, even if not especially Christian by religion. Marici, a Yogini who studied Indology at the university, was not considering herself Christian, but the Bible had a huge importance for her personally. Inside the Bible the family photos and religious items had great personal value. Nothing of them had been returned by Ram Bomjon. His followers commenting under videos on YouTube describing the "guru's" crimes, write regular anti-Christian comments, trying to create a demagogy that Marici (and Bomjon's critics in general) are Christians who are trying to overturn the authority of the Buddhist Maitriya Bomjon! This is a stupid and evil accusation, not based on anything than primitive hatred against foreigners and Christians, from what apparently many Tamang Buddhist followers of Bomjon suffer.
Marici, studying Hindusim and Buddhism, and having Jewish ancestors, is certainly not anyone of a Christian missionary. But even if she was, would this fact alone justify the torture, beatings, keeping on chains, sexual abuse and stealing her Bible…? The answer that most Tamang Buddhist followers of Bomjon would give, is yes!

Joe, I am by no means an expert at it. But with the wax friction sticks it is pretty easy. You just seal it and then while the item is still on the lathe, turn it up to a high rate of speed and hold the stick up against the wood. Then you just wipe the excess off. If I can do it…anyone can.
Here is a you tube video that shows how to do it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kacbeDV81Jg

Nice work, excellent color and finish to it.
I use a bar of carnauba wax I got off Amazon. Very hard stick but once you get it going it gives a great friction finish.

Interesting about the wax. I hadn't heard of that before.
Does it have to be carnauba? Will plain old candle wax work?

Libyan rebels says they have recaptured Brega
Benghazi, Libya -- Libyan rebels battling Moammar Khadafy's troops along the country's Mediterranean coast said they have captured all of the strategic eastern port city of Brega, which has repeatedly changed hands in the 6-month-old civil war.
Rebel military spokesman Col. Ahmed Bani said fighters gained control today of the industrial section of Brega, after having captured its residential areas last week.
Brega contains Libya's second-largest refinery complex, and its capture is an important boost for the rebels.
The clashes with Khadafy forces killed two rebels and left 15 injured, according to rebel spokesman Mohammed Idris. His claim could not be immediately verified and officials in the capital of Tripoli made no comment on it.
Brega, about 125 miles southwest of the de-facto rebel capital of Benghazi, fell under rebel control briefly in March, but was recaptured by Khadafy's forces shortly afterward. The fighting around the city has gone back and forth since then, with the rebels struggling to keep their ground.
On Friday, rebels closed in on Khadafy, pushing back his fighters in a fierce battle in the key coastal city of Zawiya and seizing the town of Zlitan as they advanced toward his remaining bastion, Tripoli.
The territory remaining under Khadafy's control has been shrinking dramatically for three weeks, with opposition fighters moving closer to Tripoli, a metropolis of 2 million people, from the west, south and east. At the nearest point, rebel fighters are just 30 miles west of Tripoli, in Zawiya.
NATO's bombing campaign has made it difficult for the government to send major reinforcements to Zawiya, enabling the rebels to maintain a hold over much of the city, their biggest prize in months.
Dealing another blow to the increasingly isolated leader, Libyan rebels said Friday that Abdel-Salam Jalloud, a close Khadafy associate, has defected. Jalloud helped Khadafy stage the 1969 coup that propelled him to power.

How to Deal With the New Tax Bill?by Maria William Software Developer
Every year, millions of the Americans make the strategies to save few bucks from their April tax bills. With Congressional Republicans poised to pass a 503-page law that fundamentally restructures the U.S. tax code, millions of other Americans should be able to get into the act. If this new bill passes, the updated tax rates and a plethora of other provisions would go into effect on the first day of the upcoming year. Most of the old rules would be still applicable in the last two weeks for this year. This is giving the tax payers a shrinking window of time to implement strategies that would minimize their taxes for the upcoming year's tax season (However the legislation would be in effect from the New Year, it will not be shown in your tax forms until the tax season of the year 2019).
To make the most of this opportunity, we have provided some suggestions from the experts in the industry. While following these suggestions, just remember that the best advice depends particularly on how the new tax bill is going to affect you. With this new tax bill, most of the tax payers will get an advantage, while others have to pay a higher tax bill in 2018. If you are among those who will see an initial tax advantage from this new law, there could many things to take advantage from.
1. Donate to charity
A typical piece of advice for the making the strategy is to boost up your potential deductions before January 1, 2018. This is because the deductions claimed for current year things will lower the tax bills. Wait till the first month of the New Year and you will need to cool your heels for more than one year to take the advantage of the deductions claimed.
Increasing your donations to the charitable trusts would do wonders for you. If your tax rate is depreciating in the upcoming year then your deductions are worth if claimed against this year's income. By donating more to the charity, a tax deduction, which is preserved under the tax bill, is a profitable way to increase your 2017 deductions on short notice.
Those expecting their tax rate going up in the upcoming year under the new bill can still make a bunch of charitable donations in the days left for this year. That's because most of the deductions, including this one can only be claimed if you itemize your tax return. The bill would control the number of taxpayers who can take advantage from itemizing.
So, according to the Philip "Rusty" Ross (a financial adviser at Exencial Wealth Advisors based in Oklahoma City) you can consider making a huge sum of donation in the charitable trust this month if you can afford it. If you don't have enough time to consider which charitable trust to go with, then you can also open a donor-advised fund and decide about it later. Think over it and take action quickly as there are few days left for this year to end!
2. Defer Income
Another great way of saving huge while paying tax is by deferring income. This would not work in case of salaried workers as they cannot select the time when they get paid. However, to lower the April tax bill in the process, business owners can take the full advantage of this way by delaying registering income until the following year. Similarly, investors can also limit their taxable income, which will ultimately help them lower capital gains tax bills. Mostly, this deferring income only delays the taxes you have to pay eventually. By opting deferring income, you can actually save huge in your 2018 taxes.
3. Employee Expenses
The present tax law permits employees to deduct unreimbursed expenses (tools and supplies, occupational taxes, work uniforms, union dues, and expenses for work-related travel) associated with their jobs provided they are not more than 2% of income. The tax bill ends these itemized deductions after 2017. So, according to the Kathy Pickering, executive director of the Tax Institute at H&R Block in Kansas City, Missouri, the employees should give a though over whether they can pay and get the receipts for most of these expenses as possible this month.
4. Hire a Tax prepare wisely
After January 1, the individual taxpayers will not be able to deduct tax preparation fees, which mean any payment to the tax software companies and accountants in 2017, should still be deductible on tax returns filed in April. So, it is better to purchase a tax software package now or try to book an appointment with your CPA before 2017 ends. Just remember that the unreimbursed employees expenses (some of which have been mentioned in the aforementioned point), tax preparation fees are deductions that are worth only if you itemize and the total misc. deductions are more than 2% of your total income.
5. Pay for your expenses
Under the new tax law, you cannot deduct work-related moving expenses after January 1 (exception for the military personnel). It may be cumbersome to schedule a cross-country move on such short notice. But, if you are not planning so, remember to clear up any moving-related expenses by the end of this year.

I've been stating this for quite a while, that Marvel TV isn't a part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, aka the MCU, which is a reason why there won't be a crossover.
Now Anthony Mackie, who plays Falcon for Marvel Studios, confirms this as well.
"Different universes, different worlds, different companies, different designs. [Marvel Studios president] Kevin Feige is very specific about how he wants the Marvel Universe to be seen in the film world. It wouldn't work. It wouldn't work at all," Mackie said at the recent Wizard World Cleveland convention (via Screen Geek).
A while back also saw Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn state there was a disconnect between Marvel Studios and Marvel TV, and Daredevil actor Charlie Cox even said Marvel Studios could use a different actor to play the Man Without Fear in The Avengers: Infinity War if they wanted to.
Now as a Marvel fan you might want to place the blame on Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige for no crossover, but if anyone is to blame it seems to be Marvel CEO billionaire Ike Perlmutter and his Marvel Comics Creative Committee, which is made up of Joe Quesada, Alan Fine, Dan Buckley and Brian Bendis. I'll also add head of Marvel TV Jeph Loeb to the mix.
It's been reported Perlmutter and his cronies regularly interfered with the Marvel movies, so much so, that Kevin Feige had to go above Perlmutter to Disney CEO Bob Iger to essentially fire Perlmutter and the Marvel Comics Creative Committee from being further involved with the Marvel movies. Perlmutter and the MCCC are also responsible for the lackluster Marvel TV shows and the terrible performance of Marvel Comics, which includes Axel Alonso and Tom Brevoort's involvement.
While it may seems as if the MCU and Marvel TV are "connected," essentially it's just a ruse on the part of Marvel TV as they desperately want to get any portion of the MCU audience they can as it's ten times larger (or more).
So if you are keeping track, Marvel Studios under Kevin Feige is completely separate from the Marvel Comics/Gaming/Licensing/TV division which is under Perlmutter and the MCCC.
Sorry, but Marvel TV isn't a part of the MCU (which is probably a good thing), and for the record, the MCU has never referenced anything from Marvel TV.

The educator, filmmaker, and activist Jackson Katz makes an important point when it comes to how we talk about sexual harassment and assault. He explains how society has a major problem with how we talk about it, specifically how society uses passive language to describe violence against women.
Katz writes:
"We talk about how many women were raped last year, not how many men raped women. We talk about how many girls in a school district were harassed last year, not about how many boys harassed girls. We talk about how many teenage girls in the state of Vermont got pregnant last year, rather than how many boys and men impregnated teenage girls… Even the term 'violence against women' is problematic…It's a bad thing that happens to women, but when you look at that term, 'violence against women,' nobody is doing it to them. It just happens to them…Men aren't even a part of it."
While Katz's words resonate more than ever today in the wake of women coming forward with accusations of sexual harassment and assault against movie producer Harvey Weinstein, and the #MeToo campaign on social media, Katz's statement is not new.
Katz explains that his recently popularized statements on the passive language are actually from a transcription of a speech he made at Middlebury College five years ago. Katz further explained that, "I have been doing and saying this stuff for a long time—the only difference is now people are paying attention."
While modifying how society speaks about sexual harassment and sexual assault are extremely important and can bring about change, so is being aware of your rights.
In the workplace, employees are protected under federal law as well as state and other local laws. For instance, for individuals living in New York City, they are protected under federal Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, and also, New York city and state laws, which mirror federal laws.
New York City and state laws are strikingly more liberal than federal laws. For example, under the New York City Human Rights Law, the sexual conduct needs to be anything more than a petty slight or trivial inconvenience, instead of the "severe and pervasive" standard of sexually harassing conduct under the Federal law.

As Kolbert points out, though it seems a rather commonplace idea today the notion that a species can go extinct is a relatively modern discovery. Science has determined that until the present there have been five mass extinctions each having dramatically altered life on our planet. Examining a dozen species from a variety of ecosystems around the planet, Kolbert explains how we may be currently at the beginning stages of another, this one likely caused by the activities of the human species.

Autorretrato disfrazado INGLÉS
Self-portrait disguised as an artist
There are few studies on the experimental vanguards of the 1960s and 1970s in Colombia. Rarer still the historical investigations of photography in the country. This book attempts to fill these gaps, concentrating on the members of a generation for whom photography became a tool for questioning the photography itself, the language of art, and the local culture. Irreverence, reflections on the passage of time, criticism of religious dogmas, echoes of the sexual revolution, are interwoven with the open and permeable attitude to international influences.
Covering the short life of local conceptualism, in the period 1968-1981 in cities as Bogotá, Barranquilla and Medellin is possible to follow the brevity of its development, its evolution towards the recording of corporal actions, and its rapid disappearance in the 1980s.
This is then an opportunity, and a new starting point to know our own version of conceptual art, art as an idea, and the idea as photography.

If you're like many people, the word "networking" makes you break into a cold sweat. It can be really hard for a lot of people; maybe you're introverted and it's exhausting to just deal with so many people (strangers!) for even an hour or two. Maybe you're really new to your field and feel like you just don't have that much to offer to others, when you're asking for a lot yourself. And on that note, maybe you're entirely uncomfortable with how transactional networking can feel.
I wrote about networking in the Capital Women newsletter a couple months back, and I stand by the advice there, about how your approach to networking might make it more painful than it needs to be.
But there's another big piece of networking advice I'm gonna drop on you. It might not work for everyone, but I strongly encourage you to try it if you hate networking events:
Network Alone.
That is, go to an event where you know you won't know anyone, and don't bring a friend. Fly solo.
I'm a reasonably introverted person (I've become less so, over the years, but I still need a lot of time to recharge if I've been burning a lot of "extrovert juice" lately.) For the longest time, if I was going to a networking event that I was nervous about because it felt outside my comfort zone, I would invite a more extroverted friend along, figuring that between them and the inevitable alcohol that most networking events thankfully serve, I'd have sufficient social lubricant to make it work.
In practice, that's not how it goes at all. In my experience, if you bring a friend to a networking event, you'll spend the whole time talking to that friend. They're a crutch. You don't ever really need to overcome the biggest, hardest barrier to networking at an event (the part where you actually walk up to a person and just say some words for the first time) if you're in a comfortable and entertaining conversation with someone you already know and like.
Additionally, having a friend means you're having to coordinate your moves, which contributes to the deadlock. Here's a conversation I've probably had at least a half-dozen time with various friends at various networking events:
Me: I guess we should try to talk to someone?
Friend: Yeah, I guess. Who should we talk to?
Me: I dunno. Those guys over there seem super bro-y; let's skip them.
Friend: Oh, hard agree, they seem terrible. That one guy looks like my brother's friend Steve; you remember him? From Soo's party?
Me: Oh, gawd, yes. He was awful. Didn't he end up just passed out in the back yard for like 2 hours?
Friend: Yeah, that was the best part. I finally didn't have to listen to him talk anymore.
(lols all around).
Me: Well, I guess those women over there look nice...
Friend: Oh, sure, I mean, we can talk to them if you want...
(neither of us move)
Me: I guess we should refill our drinks, eh? Get some liquid courage?
Friend: Oh yes lets, please.
(and... SCENE)
We'll spend an hour or two at an event and have, like, one or two milquetoast conversations, because neither of us are really committing. We came there to network, but there's a much easier, more immediately fun alternative: just talking with someone you already know you like.
So my advice is to go to at least a couple networking events completely alone. Try to target ones where you won't run into people you know by accident, either. I've found this effective because it actually forces me to do what I came there (and, in many cases, paid $20) to do: talk to strangers. The math is totally different when your choices are 1) walk up to a stranger and talk, 2) stand around alone awkwardly, or 3) leave.
The bonus is that even if you keep finding yourself taking option 2, someone will probably walk up to you and start talking themselves. A person standing awkwardly alone is surprisingly easy to engage; you know you're not interrupting a conversation they're in the middle of, after all. As long as you don't take option 3, going to networking events alone will almost inevitably lead to more conversations than if you brought a friend along.
If you have a networking buddy that you attend these events with and you have lots of great conversations with, that's great! Keep doing what works for you. But if you've been getting a lackluster return on your networking event investments of time and money, give this a shot if you haven't already. And let me know how it goes!

Greek Art from A to Z - THE BOOK
- Published in
- font size decrease font size increase font size
An illustrated guide to Greek Art by Alexandra Kollaros
Until how old can you consider yourself a young artist? What does a curator do for a living? What constitutes an alternative space? What is the significance of an art collector?
These questions and many more are addressed in this comical exposé of the Greek Art World, written by a person who has experienced it from the line of fire: artAZ founder Alexandra Kollaros.
The 24 letters of the Greek alphabet host respective entries and terms that help unfold the Greek art system and its mechanisms. Written with a humorous demeanour as well as love towards art and its workers, the book portrays the protagonists and unveils the secrets and the practices that compose the local art scene. Complex concepts are deconstructed and rendered in simple words for everyone to grasp and have an insider's peek into the insides of art world to understand its workings. The author takes things a step further and illustrates the concepts herself, through a collection of hilarious, naive designs.
Satiric, at times biting, but essentially tender «Greek Art form A to Z» is the product of 25 years of active involvement with the art world.
Whatever your relationship with art is, this book is bound to make you laugh.
Alexandra Kollaros is artAZ's co-founder and chief curator. She was born in Athens, Greece, studied Art & Design in London and Florence and lives and works around the world. She is an active member of the art community but first and foremost she is an art enthusiast.
Greek Art from A-Z is her first book.
Greek Art from A-Z is published by Key Books and will be released at the end of October 2018.
The author will discuss the book with radio producer George Mouchtaridis within the frame of the "60 minutes with a book" talks program he is hosting, at Public Café (Sydagma Square, Athens), on Wednesday 28 November 2018, at 21:00.

The third largest Zambian city, Ndola is the commercial and industrial hub of copper mining region. Additionally, it is considered as the trade and commercial capital of the country and one of the international airports is located here. Geographically, it lies 10 km from the international boundary with Congo.
For those expatriates moving to Ndola from USA, it is advised that having your own vehicle is safer, faster and more economic. Thus, discuss the details of your move with A1 Auto Transport service and we'll help you at every step till it reaches your new destination in Ndola. There are plenty of benefits of having your own personal vehicle in the city especially as you need to commute to work every day.

Specific requirements for auto import.
It is mandatory to have the Letter of Authority and the permit to import when you ship a car to Zambia. However, the South African Bureau of Standards has to be contacted to get the details and relevant approvals. Cars over the age of 25 years might need further inspection and permits but otherwise there is no limit on the age of the vehicle. The Zambia Revenue Authority does not have any restriction on the age of the vehicle that is being imported. However, the import duty varies on the engine capacity and ranges from 75% to 90% while there is an additional tax that is computed based on the Value for Duty Purposes (VDP).
Submission of pertinent documents.
To validate the import, documents have to be submitted to get the requisite permits. You are required to submit:
- Bill of vehicle purchase.
- Customs Release Notification form.
- Proof of owner- passport, photo ID.
- SABS Letter of Authority.
- Title deed/registration of the vehicle.
- Insurance policy.
- Import Permit.
It is best to get a free quote from the auto shipping company so you know the total cost which will include the freight shipping charges depending upon the method you select. The tow common methods include Container shipment and RORO.
As the term denotes, you have to hire 20 feet or 40 feet container and are allowed to pack the personal goods alongside the vehicle and then it is sealed. Cranes are used to lift and place the container on the ship. This method is more expensive as it offers higher security and protection to your possessions.
Conversely, when you ship by RORO or Roll-on, Roll-Off, you have to ship an empty vehicle devoid of all moveable accessories and personal items. The vehicle is driven on and off the ship and that is why has to be operable.
As rules change with time, it is good to connect with the Embassy of Zambia to get more information and clarify your doubts.
