About K.E.Mort
The seller is not the one being taxed. The obligation to PAY sales tax is on the buyer, not the seller.
The seller simply collects the sales tax, and remits that to the state. It is never the seller's money, they are not "paying" the sales tax.
That's different from a state taxing a seller on things like inventory or other corporate income tax...that is entirely different than sales tax.
Florida's statements, which I have posted somewhere in this thread, amount to, if you buy something out of state but paid no tax on it then you owe use tax. This has been also written as if you pay a lower amount of tax out of state then you may owe the difference to FL. Generally however, if you buy something in another state, on vacation or whatever, and bring it here to FL you won't owe use tax on it since you paid sales tax on it somewhere else. It is vague however, because it does not stipulate that you paid FL sales tax. So there could in theory be a double hit. I don't believe it is being interpreted that way however. The biggest hits will come if you buy a large ticket item in a state where there is no sales tax. Then you get the big ol stick in the rear when you bring it here...such as with a car.
"If I'm physically a resident of the state of California, and am visiting Delaware - I should pay local taxes on purchases for the state of Delaware (like normal) and the state of California??"
It's a tick complicated in the wording but the way Florida looks at it, for example for use tax, which is really what you're looking at here:
* If you buy a taxable item in Florida and didn't pay sales tax, you owe use tax.
* If you buy an item tax-exempt intending to resell it and then use the item in your business or for personal use, you owe use tax.
* If you buy a taxable item outside Florida and bring or have it delivered into this state and you didn't pay sales tax on the item, you owe use tax.
What is never clear here is whether "pay sales tax" in the last bullet means "pay any sales tax" or "pay Florida sales tax" - how I have seen this described is that if you paid sales tax somewhere else, you're good. If not, then Florida deserves use tax on the item. Or if you paid sales tax equal to or above Florida tax then you're OK. But if you paid less then you owe the difference.
Your Delaware example is interesting...because at least here, if you say bought a car in Delaware (no sales tax there) then got yourself transferred to FL and brought the car down, when you try to register it, Florida will ask for the bill of sale to check not just for the ownership but for the tax paid. Oh no paid no tax, sorry Charlie, you owe me 6%. But if the car's purchase is over 6 mos ago then no are good. So, how long do you think you'd wait to register that car? :)
Back a few years ago there was talk of Florida trying to tax home and business networks as "alternative communications systems"...yea.
Locality taxes, or what FL calls a "surtax" is even more interesting. For a small business to figure that out is going to be crazy, but it'll open a whole load of new software ventures to deal with it. :) So for Miami-Dade, the sales tax is 7% instead of the regular Florida 6%.
The big difference is that all the local retailers, the big shops...they deal with all of this locally anyway. The store's going to figure this stuff out and report to corporate, etc. There's a lot more resources that can be thrown at it.
But I think really the issue of overall impact on b&m retail is based a lot less on tax being paid and a lot more about item price before tax. Most people don't compare prices with tax included, they just look at the price itself. I'd rather buy my new BT headset local if A. I could actually find the damn thing locally and B. I couldn't save $60 on it by going to Amazon. If price and availability were equal I'd probably buy local, and I think a lot of other folks feel the same way.
"if you buy a product from another state, when you get that product, then that product is the PHYSICAL PRESENCE you are talking about."
Entirely incorrect. You're mixing meanings.
The physical presence is the vendor itself, not the product. If I sell a product out of state today I am not required to collect sales tax on behalf of that state because I am not located there. I am only in Florida.
However, when I buy online from a company somewhere else in FL, they collect sales tax because they're located in FL. If I buy from a company in MD, with no physical presence in FL, they do not collect sales tax for FL in the transaction. However, that does not mean that I am not still obligated to pay sales tax to Florida. I am, only now they call it "use tax" instead.
Remember the sales tax obligation is always on the buyer. The seller simply acts as a collector and then remits that to the state. The money collected in sales tax never belongs to the seller.
And unless the bill is worded differently, and I suspect the way this is, each state will come up with their own rules...once you do one sale in a state you'll probably have to register and report regardless of the dollars collected. And once you register, you are generally on the hook to file the reports with each state regardless of whether you actually did any business in that state for the specific period.
When I buy things online for my business, the lack of sales tax really doesn't factor into it.
If I can get it at the same price but get it local, i.e. faster then that's a route I'll go.
The overall price of the item and speed of acquisition as well as buying the item online because I simply cannot locate it locally are the bigger factors.
At least if this tripe passes I don't have to worry with "use tax" anymore - which nearly no one pays anyway.
Having said that, I do find it distasteful that a company will have to collect tax (and register in that state of course, and remit the forms whether they have any sales there or not for that quarter/month/year) on behalf of a state they don't have physical presence in.
Correct, retailers COLLECT sales tax. They are doing this on behalf of the state, and then remit what is actually the state's funds back to the state treasury.
If I am paying sales tax on something I buy online, then that retailer must have a brick & mortar presence in my state. If not, then I pay no sales tax. However, in that case I still owe USE TAX which most people either do not know about or do not pay. And if you're a business you're going to have to register with the state to pay it, and once you do...you're on the hook to report it regularly even if there's nothing to pay.
In Florida if you collect more than $1000 in sales tax you must report/remit it monthly. If only $100 then annual. There's a nice little chart for that which I am sure most states have.
The big problem is that unless the bill manages to normalize all sales tax code nationwide, it's a failure because despite what you think, it's going to be a nightmare for smaller outfits to set up to collect & remit the taxes, not to mention all of the various filing requirements. Sure eventually there might be software for that but for a small outfit, trying to account for tax changes in 50 states? Come on.
So while it does matter where the transaction takes place, it is not just a matter of IF there is a sales tax in play at the customer's location, as that's true in all states but 5 IIRC, there is also the matter of the actual business having a presence there.
I sell a software license to someone in a state I don't operate in, I am not required to collect sales tax for that state.
What they'd do in this bill is essentially kill that, so no matter where you sell you are required to collect it. IF it is made simple enough that A) Remit only once or twice per year B) Only collect the primary state tax (no munis etc) then it could possibly work. It is still a burden on the retailers, so you can expect prices to go up or discounts to thin.
I know you don't think it's much of a burden, but it is.
If you paid sales tax in the other state and that sales tax was equal or greater to your state's tax then usually the law would be that you do not owe anything in USE TAX to your state.
Since groceries aren't generally taxable, there's no burden of use tax there.
However, if you buy a new hard drive at a store in Ohio and pay 5% sales tax on it, but use it at home in Indiana and the sales tax is 6%, then generally it'd be written you owe Indiana the difference in the sales tax but they'd call it "use tax" instead...although it's the same darn thing.
Now, think about them apples when it's a car and you move from say Delaware to Maryland...yea...Oops.
Yes, you mail an extra 49 checks a year"
HAHA! This is great. More like the truth would be you're sending tax statements to the states, every quarter.
See you're going to have to register to collect sales tax in each state. Here in FL it is the same form you are supposed to use to report "use tax" which is basically sales tax.
Oh and if the city you are in, or presumably the city the buyer is in, you could end up paying a muni tax as well - but this varies widely state to state.
See once you do that registration they have you, and you are required to file every quarter no matter if you have any sales tax to remit or not.
So yea it isn't just once a year. Get that notion out of your head right quick.
I would argue if you put this law into place then no state would really have the standing to also demand use tax as well. Which, by the way many if not all states have - and yes us lowly consumers are technically supposed to pay it on all of our online purchases since by buying out of state we've robbed our poor home state of that tax revenue...at least in their eyes.
But alas, I'd think the states will still think you owe another tax even if this does pass.
First off let's just acknowledge that SCOTUS got the obscenity ruling wrong in the first place.
Any ruling which depends on "know it when I see it" cannot be solid jurisprudence. I don't care what court they sit on.
The community standard fails because it isn't based on the community. It is instead based on the standards of a group of individuals who generally are supposed to represent the community but that in this case simply cannot know what the community really thinks.
That is unless they are either snooping on my internet and TV viewing, or they've gone around asking everyone what they think.
In some areas of the country I am sure that a strict standard might fly. But in most, it really wouldn't if you put it to the test for real.
Honestly it isn't up to any government to stop me from consuming porn if I want to, and I'd argue they shouldn't be putting out of business an entire industry which isn't any more harmful in the hands of a normal sane person than tobacco or alcohol, and is arguably FAR less.
Given the obsession some people seem to have with limiting all things sex, it seems that they protest too much! The ought get their heads out of the gutter and leave mine there if I want it there! :)
First, SCOTUS got it wrong with the obscenity standard. Any time a justice says "I know it when I see it" it isn't good law.
Prurient interest or not, the notion of what is or is not obscene has changed dramatically over the years. A simple nude would have been obscene some time ago, and this even varies to the community standard.
As to promoting the useful arts, well what arts do you consider useful? Playboy is porn by most people's view, but it can be argued to contain the same simple nudes which were painted and photographed years back and which enjoy protection.
Photography and videography are art forms. Sure, the subject matter of the average Vivid Video production isn't what you'd call classy or tasteful but it is film making and that's an art form.
The obscenity standard itself is bad policy and any matter of pieces can fall into that category. Fetish takes on many forms.
Elimnate it altogether instead of going after the creators and trying to make connections from them to terrorists (which has been attempted). Rest assured the next "conservative" in the POTUS role will be sure to take action on this issue...you know, for our own good...oh yea and for the children too. :)
The ACs are so sad.
The content on my TV isn't free. Not by a long shot.
Comcast inks a deal with content owners to provide said content on its network. Comcast then recoups that cost by charging me a monthly fee.
There is no free now matter how hard you want it to be.
If you're looking at this as only an over the air discussion then fine you'd be correct 20 years ago, but that's not how it is today, sorry. The content is paid for. Many times over as it turns out.
I can watch HBO series and get no commercials. I can listen to my Sirius radio and get no commercials. Somehow they all survive. Shocking.
Look, people hate change as a general rule especially when it threatens a comfortable existence. Business is no different. The MPAA and their members need to compete and evolve. Arguing now that the VCR decision was wrong, please, the motion picture industry would be nowhere they are now without the home rental market they so feared and then wildly profited off of.
Why did there need to be subsidy paid to the recording and motion picture business on blank media...just in case it was used for piracy? Remember they wanted the same of hard disk drives? Seriously. The industry can survive. It can be as popular and profitable as ever, but it has to learn to evolve, and it doesn't want to.
I personally have no stomach for regulation being created to buoy an industry that refuses to innovate and evolve. Just like the buggy whip industry. Evolve or die. That's how this works. There is no entitlement to profit or survival as a business. You earn it. Artists get that. The MPAA companies and RIAA companies don't. Simple as that.
Well heck all you have to do is look at the fact that "legally" I can rip a CD but oh we've put their CSS on the disc so now it's encryption cracking and "illegal" if you do it with a DVD.
Sorry about your luck if something happens to the disc and your kid decides to ruin it. Guess you get to buy another one.
And that's what it's all about. Buying more copies. They'd have you buying a new license for every device if they could.
This is the stupidity we live with in dealing with Hollywood content.
It is what drives many to find a way to rip the DVD anyway while waving a middle digit at the industry. No you aren't getting another $35 from me to buy a digital copy of Mad Men to watch on my iPad. Nevermind it's for personal use.
Which does beg a question too on public performance. Watching a DVD on a player you bring on an airplane flight would be a performance and you'd be breaking the law there too, heck probably have been.
They really have no idea how to interact or work with their customers other than treating them as criminals right from the start. And the more of these restrictions and demands they get made into law the more often they can claim damages for us not paying them every time we watch a movie.
No, my right to be paid for my movie trumps your right to get it for nothing.
Sure, they are poking fun at Best Buy. Just like lots of other commercials have done the same to competitors who use something like a blue shirt as part of their image.
Big freakin deal. No basis for a suit unless they really used a BB type logo somewhere which they didn't on the guy's shirt etc.
The store actually looks more like the old CompUSA or TigerDirect stores before they changed them around.
The t-shirt thing...yea ok whatever I've seen that kind of logo used before in the electronics space. This is just BB trying to scare NewEgg into pulling the spots and the shirts with a threat.
When copyright was allowed to be assigned to corporate entities instead of individuals, where the "life" of the "author" or "inventor" ends up being limitless.
That and of course corporate lobbies to extend the definition of "limited time" so that they'd never have to see their inventions actually subject to the intended terms of the Copyright and Patent provisions.
So now on the GPS, yea if the car was owned by him then there's no issue. It's his property. Just like LoJack or heck OnStar...they can track the vehicle. Perfectly legal.
Now if it's her car, owned entirely by her then that's a different matter.
Interesting though the affidavit pretty much covers any matter of sins. It basically says anything I say is likely untrue, but doesn't mention the GPS issue at all.
It really was a brilliant plan, akin to entrapment on her part really but he turned it around. Pretty sweet.
Looks like I need to restart work on my e-voting system that would blow these clowns out of the water once & for all.
Enough idiots designing systems just to make a buck from the government.
"If they really believed the market didn't want it they wouldn't be making it, now would they."
SawStop believes the market wants it. Not every manufacturer is in agreement.
There's a difference.
It really has nothing to do with disliking inventors or patents. That's your red herring.
The issue is having the patents abused. Thus is the case here. Nothing about patent law is intended to force the marketplace to implement your idea. You are not, by default, guaranteed to actually make money off of that patented idea. If the idea is so great, then it's up to you to sell it and get the market to agree it's great. Being forced into it isn't "public acceptance" or acknowledgment.
In this case, there is no previously issued regulation which compels a table saw maker to include this SawStop technology. None whatsoever. I believe there might be some regulation regarding cutting guards for example, which all makers include to some degree.
Whether Delta/Porter Cable or Jet or whomever else would decide to partner with SawStop to implement their patented technology is the choice of that company. Certainly they would have a unique marketing message to make there if they were, and if the marketplace honestly feels there is value in SawStop's technology.
However, a jury ruling which essentially (as was already mentioned) creates guaranteed revenue for SawStop by either: a) rendering all other vendors open for lawsuit, or b) by creating a de facto requirement for licensing is completely and utterly in violation of the spirit and purpose of patent law.
There is no defense for this action, and Ryobi should certainly appeal. As a 30 year user of table saws of various brands. SawStop technology's existence has been for only a scant few of those years. Personal responsibility should be the order of the day here, full stop. No woodworker, professional or hobbyist with any respect for the industry would file such a suit. Pathetic attempts at a money grab aren't part of properly implemented patent law.
If there is to follow some sort of actual regulation, then SawStop's patent must be invalidated, or licensing must be at a fair price. If SawStop is going to win over business from the likes of Delta/PC or Jet, or any other major maker, it should be on market acceptance of their technology as superior, not a jury de facto mandate they pay extortionate prices to license a patent or get sued.
One also should understand that the saw this fellow was using is most likely one of the "cheap" homeowner variety you can purchase for just a few hundred bucks at a local home center. This isn't even a "contractor" grade saw that runs $500 or so, and it certainly isn't a UniSaw type unit that can retail for several thousand dollars. Even SawStop's own units cost several grand.
I certainly understand your passion for inventors and protection by patents however, where I think you fall short is in not understanding when and how they are abused. You seem to be of the opinion that it never happens, or that "any action necessary" is OK. As in anything balance is necessary.
Certainly you cannot believe the type of activity we're seeing in this case is beneficial to patent holders or inventors?

Review: We Are Marshall
We Are Marshall, however, is an unusual sports flick, in that it is less concerned with the university's ensuing gridiron feats than with how members of both the campus and the local communities dealt with their grief in the wake of the disaster
On November 14, 1970, 45 members of Marshall University's football team and coaching staff along with 25 boosters perished en route home from a game against East Carolina when their DC-9 crashed during its approach, less than a mile from the airport. The loss took a great toll on the tiny town of Huntington, West Virginia, where the school is located, because so many lives were affected by the accident.
While the administration initially decided to discontinue the football team entirely, Dean Donald Dedman (David Strathairn) was convinced to reconsider by a student body led by the handful of players and the assistant coach who hadn't been aboard the fateful flight. Although it would take over a decade for the program to return to prominence, that persistence ultimately paid off.
We Are Marshall, however, is an unusual sports flick, in that it is less concerned with the university's ensuing gridiron feats than with how members of both the campus and the local communities dealt with their grief in the wake of the disaster. The film stars Matthew McConaughey as Jack Lengyel, the replacement coach brought in to resurrect the team from a combination of junior varsity players, walk-ons, and fresh recruits. And Anthony Mackie co-stars as Nate Ruffin, a junior co-captain who had been left behind on November 14th because of a shoulder injury.
The movie marks a radical departure for director McG, whose previous credits include relatively superficial fare, namely, Charlie's Angels 1 & 2, and a host of music videos. But he more than meets the challenge, employing a talented ensemble to convey the nagging pall, which apparently had permeated Huntington in the wake of its enormous loss.
To its credit, the movie does its best to avoid the tried and true staples of the sports genre, such as that ubiquitous moment when the underdogs win the big showdown with a highly touted rival. So, what ultimately makes We Are Marshall special is that the satisfaction which it delivers doesn't emanate from a cliché victory scene, but rather from an assortment of touching tableaus all along the way of the town and gown's painful healing process. Bittersweet, but more than worth the emotional investment.
Excellent (4 stars).  Rated PG for mild epithets, mature themes, and a plane crash.
Running time: 127 minutes.  Studio: Warner Brothers

Greg Sharpe on Penn State Win, Iowa Match-Up for Nebraska Cornhuskers
It's the regular season game on the 2013 schedule for the Nebraska Cornhuskers Friday, as they host Iowa in the annual Heroes Game.
The Huskers are a win away from a nine-victory season, which would be their sixth straight year of winning at least that many under head coach Bo Pelini.
Victory #8 of the 2013 season came last Saturday in overtime at Penn State, in a game that saw a little bit of everything from turnovers to lead changes, to costly penalties and injuries, to late game heorics, as Nebraska's Pat Smith capped a 3-for-3 day with a 42-yard field goal to win the game.
The 'Voice of the Cornhuskers' Greg Sharpe told me in was a long day in State College:
Injury at the quarterback position continues to be a theme for the 2013 Huskers, as Tommy Armstrong left the Penn State game early with an ankle injury, giving way to Ron Kellogg.
It looks like it will be Kellogg behind center against the Hawkeyes Friday morning:
Like the Huskers, Iowa has won 3-of-4 including rallying from a 21-7 deficit against Michigan last Saturday to win 24-21, pushing their record to 7-4.
This season's Iowa team is a far cry from last season's four-win team:
One of the keys to Iowa's resurgence is the play of their defense, which is first in the Big Ten against the pass, third in total defense. Senior leadership is paying off in Iowa City:
With a victory Friday, the already bowl eligible Huskers move to nine wins during the regular season. If that happens, does that mean a better bowl game for Nebraska?
Win or lose Friday it is the final game at Memorial Stadium for the Class of 2013. This group of seniors never won a conference championship, but have left behind a legacy in Lincoln:
Kickoff from Lincoln is Saturday at 11:00am. You can listen to the game live on your home for Huskers football in the Sioux Empire, ESPN 99.1!

Do I have to use the Sims Mobile Hack?
The Sims Mobile game is a pretty interesting game based on real life. It suggests activities and problems that we face in real life, such as relationships and financial problems. As in real life, you have to succeed in making money in the game. You are in a situation where you need more Simoleons and SimCash to move through the game. Below are some easy ways to make easy use of the money in the game.
Keep your Sims busy
Check if your Sims have completed their tasks and if they are available for another task. You will see a check mark on the Sim's name when ready for another task. Look out for tasks such as nap or shower. These tasks help boost your Sims' energy.
Have fun with tasks and activities
These elements help to increase your ability to make money. The quests offer more money and rewards than the activities. However, T0-Do items appear daily as quests are added the further you progress in the game.
Make sure to go up to the level
Improve your Sims by earning points by performing different activities (Reationships, Hoobies and Work).
Spend wisely
As a new Sims player, you might be tempted to get some "slimmer" stuff in the game. Spending your money in a nice house will cost you a nice amount of money. Also avoid spending money in fashion stores. It may seem like a good thing to do, but it will cost you a lot.
Also, do not use your money to speed things up. To do this, learn how to effectively control your Sims. Actively monitor your energy and Sims activities to ensure they are always productive. If you know it will be out for a while, set long activities for your sims. Longer activities will earn you more points and more money.

The Sims Mobile – A popular life simulation game
As you play the Sims series, you must remain absorbed by your computer for a considerable period of time. Although this can not be considered a difficult match, players must spend at least several hours designing characters, building structures, and so on. Nowadays it is also possible to play this game on your smartphone, which definitely makes it more popular around the world.
The Sims Mobile game uses emoji while the Sims speak fluent English rather than a mixture of garbage. You will start this game by creating and personalizing a Sim according to your preferences, then moving to a "fixer upper" of a residence. It is also possible to build relationships and pursue a career while gradually renovating and decorating this game. The mobile version of the Sims mobile, just like computer games, offers you more and more opportunities and choices while progressing.
Another important feature of Sims Mobile is that the mobile version makes reading much easier as you can touch and touch them anytime. You do not have to use your mouse too much compared to other similar games. In fact, the touch controls deserve a special mention, which will save you a lot of time trying to control the game with a console controller. It's also very handy to talk to the Sims to make them sleep or eat, etc. You can do all of this with a simple touch or slide.
You start this game with a single Sim and gradually create more custom characters. Use a checklist to set some basic goals, such as: One of the drawbacks of mobile sims, however, is that they do not contain a timing system and that it will take you several hours to send your sim to work.
A portion of your energy supply is spent on every action your Sim has to take, for example, to provide coffee for his job. Although it is possible to regain energy through naps, showers, etc., you can not avoid losing energy if you spend a lot of time moving. If you find that your Sim is exhausted and you do not want to spend any money to give him a cake, he may still perform his tasks at his own pace.
This criticism can be deduced with the claim that the Sims Mobile are the free game that is definitely worthwhile. If you're a keen worker, a bad student, a commuter, or just someone who likes to play, this game will not disappoint in the long run. While it will never replace the Sims 4, it will certainly help kill your boredom and make you feel rejuvenated at the same time.
These methods will ensure your smile to the bank. However, most of them are tedious to execute and will take time. But with the help of the sims mobile hack, everything will be easy like 1-2-3!

The Australian Open starts tomorrow, with Rafael Nadal going for a not-quite Grand Slam. It's "not-quite" because while he'd win a fourth consecutive grand slam, it's not in the same season and Rod Laver won't let that historical-aggression stand.
Meanwhile, ESPN2's trying to figure out how to get ratings despite a 16- to 19-hour time difference in America. Maybe Maria Sharapova's new duds will draw some stateside eyes.
Or maybe it all comes down to whether Andre Agassi will offer up nude pics of his wife for the cable-viewing audience.
Thank you for your continued support of Deadspin. But before I go, allow me to recommend tonight's roller-derby episode of CSI: Miami: "The only thing shorter than the girls' skirts are their tempers."

Hiérarchie anatomique
Anatomie générale > Os; Système squelettique > Squelette axial > Squelette thoracique > Côte > Corps de la côte
Structures sous-jacentes
The body or shaft is thin and flat, with two surfaces, an external and an internal; and two borders, a superior and an inferior.
The external surface is convex, smooth, and marked, a little in front of the tubercle, by a prominent line, directed downward and lateralward; this gives attachment to a tendon of the Iliocostalis, and is called the angle. At this point the rib is bent in two directions, and at the same time twisted on its long axis. If the rib be laid upon its lower border, the portion of the body in front of the angle rests upon this border, while the portion behind the angle is bent medialward and at the same time tilted upward; as the result of the twisting, the external surface, behind the angle, looks downward, and in front of the angle, slightly upward. The distance between the angle and the tubercle is progressively greater from the second to the tenth ribs. The portion between the angle and the tubercle is rounded, rough, and irregular, and serves for the attachment of the Longissimus dorsi.
The internal surface is concave, smooth, directed a little upward behind the angle, a little downward in front of it, and is marked by a ridge which commences at the lower extremity of the head; this ridge is strongly marked as far as the angle, and gradually becomes lost at the junction of the anterior and middle thirds of the bone. Between it and the inferior border is a groove, the costal groove, for the intercostal vessels and nerve. At the back part of the bone, this groove belongs to the inferior border, but just in front of the angle, where it is deepest and broadest, it is on the internal surface. The superior edge of the groove is rounded and serves for the attachment of an Intercostalis internus; the inferior edge corresponds to the lower margin of the rib, and gives attachment to an Intercostalis externus. Within the groove are seen the orifices of numerous small foramina for nutrient vessels which traverse the shaft obliquely from before backward.
The superior border, thick and rounded, is marked by an external and an internal lip, more distinct behind than in front, which serve for the attachment of Intercostales externus and internus.
The inferior border is thin, and has attached to it an Intercostalis externus.

What does a foreign-language film prize mean at the box office? Ian Sandwell explores recent winners' records
Winning the foreign-language Oscar, Golden Globe or Bafta brings major prestige. But looking at the foreign-language category winners at each of these ceremonies over the past five years, it is less clear exactly how much direct theatrical uplift a foreign-language statuette can bring.
Internationally at least, this is because films can open months before the statuette is awarded, especially in their local territories.
Several recent winners were big hits at home long before awards night. For example Departures - which won the Oscar in February 2009 and is the most successful worldwide of the past five Oscar winners with $69.9m - took a storming $61m in Japan alone from a release in September 2008. The Secret In Their Eyes, the winner of the best foreign-language Oscar in 2010, took $40.5m worldwide, with strong returns in Argentina ($9.3m) and Spain ($8m) from releases in August and September 2009, respectively. Sweden's The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo, which won the Bafta in 2011, took more than $100m worldwide, most of it before its award win.
In the US, four of the five previous winners were released after their triumph. Of the last five Oscar winners, only A Separation [pictured] was released in the US before taking the Oscar (and Golden Globe) in 2012. Austria's The Counterfeiters came out the weekend of its Oscar win in 2008, going on to gross $5.5m. Still, it is difficult to ascertain just how much the award contributed to the performance and how much was down to other common box-office factors such as audience demand for the film and a director or actor's previous success in the territory.
However in the case of A Separation, Sony Pictures Classics gave it a theatrical boost post-Oscars by expanding the film from 83 sites to 282 leading to it adding $4.5m, more than 60% of its overall gross, following its win.
'Having the winner of one of the major Oscars in your portfolio in any give year has an added benefit'
Douglas Cummins, Axiom Films
Foreign-language awards attention can bring obvious benefits beyond theatrical returns. Bart Van Langendonck, who produced 2012 Oscar nominee Bullhead from Belgium, says the nod helped make the film more attractive to distributors as well as audiences. "We did have a hard time [selling] the film because a lot of people thought it was too dark and too long and with no known actors, so distributors were a bit hesitant [especially as] it didn't really work well in the territories the film went to in Europe, like Germany," he says.
"Once we had the Oscar nomination, the film was released in France [and] got a lot of word-of-mouth and did really well, and was sold to several other territories."
While nominations in major categories can boost a film's box office, Philip Knatchbull, CEO of Curzon Artificial Eye, feels the link between box office success and awards attention is less clear for categories such as best foreign-language film. "Firstly, these films are generally not released during the awards window because there's so much competition for the arthouse and crossover cinema venues from the contenders in the major categories," he explains. "Secondly, there is less attention from the media in regards to the smaller categories. The media focus their spotlight on the bigger awards, and so the commercial uplift for a foreign-language nomination is less."
Artificial Eye handled the release of A Separation in the UK and is also releasing Michael Haneke's Amour, which is the Austrian submission for the foreign-language Oscar this year. Knatchbull believes the benefit of foreign-language awards attention lies more in ancillary markets. "Clearly there are benefits for competing. For A Separation, we were able to clearly label it as an Oscar winner on the front of the packshot, which will have had some benefit in terms of DVD sales. It's a great endorsement."
Awards recognition can also boost a film's appeal to a broader audience, argues Douglas Cummins, managing director of Axiom Films, which handled the UK release of 2011 Oscar and Golden Globe winner In A Better World. Axiom adjusted its marketing campaign as a result of the awards when it came to releasing the film in August 2011.
'The media focus on the bigger awards, so the uplift for a foreign-language nomination is less'
Philip Knatchbull, Curzon Artificial Eye
"When it became apparent the film had won the Golden Globe and the Oscar, we inevitably led with those awards as the primary focus of the campaign," explains Cummins. "A slightly more agnostic audience, who is used to seeing a few foreign-language films but predominantly goes to see mainstream English-language films, were prepared to come out and embrace the film and this was evidenced in our exit polling."
However, Cummins points out the Oscar win meant some critics had preconceptions about the film. "There was a feeling the movie was well-intentioned but somehow lacked artistic weight," he says. "We reject that completely and we think that's unfair, but there is a paradox there."
Though In A Better World went on to become a modest success theatrically for Axiom, taking $144,000 (£87,519) in the UK after playing on 28 sites, it is still one of the company's most requested titles. Cummins says that because Axiom predominantly handles award-winning films and had previously distributed Oscar-nominated titles, it did not take the company to a completely different level. But he concedes that award-winning films can have benefits other than box-office success. "Undoubtedly, having the winner of one of the major Oscars in your portfolio in any given year has an added benefit. There's an inevitability about that; it carries weight when you're dealing with producers. But I think when you're dealing with exhibitors it counts for very little because, by definition, the exhibition sector is forward thinking."
Van Langendonck has also felt the benefits of Bullhead's awards consideration. "When I now look for financing for any of my projects through funds or distributors, the decision-makers are more eager to listen to or look at what I propose. My applications are higher on the pile, so to speak. I also feel this interest when I look for co-producers now, and that's quite a comfortable position to be in."

When you found him, he was just a brainless Jersey goon. And look at him now! You made him a FAMOUS brainless Jersey goon! Surely that deserves restitution. LET'S GO!
MAN VS. WILD – 9:00PM (Discovery) It's the season premiere tonight, and for a little extra bang Bear Grylls has brought actor Jake Gyllenhaal with him to navigate Iceland's brutal terrain together and steal the world's entire supply of g's, l's, and y's. Grylls has been accompanied by a celebrity on "Man Vs. Wild" before, when he brought Will Ferrell with him to Sweden for an episode. That episode was extremely entertaining and ultimately quite affecting, as Ferrell ditched his comic persona at times and became introspective on camera. We'll see if Gyllenhaal can follow suit and make this more than just a vanity stunt. ANTICIPATION: HIGGGGGH!
ALPHAS – 10:00PM (SyFy - an NBC/Universal network) Ever watch "Heroes" and say to yourself, "Boy, I wish all the superheroes on this show were cops! And that the show doesn't jump the shark midway through its first season!" Well, you're in luck, as SyFY launches their new show about cops with supernatural abilities (no costumes) charged with bringing down equally mutated criminals (also no costumes). We'll see if this one can go a little longer without being ruined. ANTICIPATION: SUPERDUPER!
ANTHONY BOURDAIN: NO RESERVATIONS – 9:00PM (Travel Channel) Tony is back for an all-new season, one that includes an apparently legendary trip to Spain's El Bulli restaurant. But first, Bourdain and his crew go to Cuba for tonight's premiere. And I find it absurd that it's 2011 and it's still technically illegal for Americans to go to Cuba when we have a freakin' military base there. I want to go to Cuba and eat sandwiches and hang out with all my Commie friends. What's so Unamerican about that? ANTICIPATION: CUBA LIBRE!
INSIDE THE ACTOR'S STUDIO – 8:00PM (Bravo - an NBC/Universal network) Your James Lipton slobber target tonight is the lovely Jennifer Aniston, an extremely famous woman with a film resume so execrable that it's almost cruel to sit her on a stage and go through her entire movie history. But I'm told she'll be wearing a hot skirt. ANTICIPATION: ANISTONIAN!

The Central Connecticut women's basketball team fell to Miami by a score of 64-43 in an opening round game of the 2012 UM Holiday Tournament. The Blue Devils (5-5) played better in the second period and out scored the Hurricanes (9-2) 26-25 after halftime. Central will play Delaware State in the consolation game tomorrow night at 5 p.m. Miami will play Wisconsin in the championship game at 7:05 p.m.
The Blue Devils never led in the game, but did force Miami to work for the victory throughout the contest. Miami led 39-17 at the half, but Central out scored the Hurricanes in the second period 26-25.
Junior Lauren Arbogast led the way in the first period. She came off the bench to score a team-high nine points in 16 minutes on the floor. She also had two rebounds and three steals before the break. Arbogast added two more points and a rebound in four minutes of action in the second half.
In the second half senior Jaclyn Babe led the Blue Devils with 10 of her team-high 13 points. Babe connected on two-of-three from beyond the arc.
Junior Jaleen Thomas had 10 rebounds and junior Jessica Babe had eight boards. Babe also had a game-high five assists.
CCSU turned the ball over 31 times in the game, but the Blue Devils improved their ball control in the second period. Miami had 22 turnovers, including 15 steals by CCSU.
The Blue Devils struggled from the free throw line throughout the game. CCSU was 4-for-12 in the first half, 8-for-22 in the second period and 12-for-34 in the game, a 35.3% mark from the line.
Freshman Kayla Miller had four points and seven rebounds in 30 minutes of action. She also had two steals and a block.

Early Career Faculty Development Circle
Event Description
CTLT's Early-Career Faculty Circles offer faculty in their first, second, or third year of service at Illinois State a combination of professional development and peer support. Join us for a series of lively conversations about surviving and thriving in the academy.
The topics for the Spring Early-Career Faculty Circle meetings are drawn from the book The Courage to Teach: Exploring the Inner Landscape of a Teacher's Life by Parker J. Palmer. The text "builds on a simple premise: good teaching cannot be reduced to technique but is rooted in the identity and integrity of the teacher." No reading is required for participation in these circles. Each participant will receive a copy of the book, but we will provide executive summaries of chapters. Understanding how to be authentically present in the classroom enables teachers to be deeply connected with their students and their subject which, in turn, enhances the learning process.
No registration is necessary. Come to either the Wednesday or Thursday session.

General relativity
|Mathematical Physics index
|History Topics Index
General relativity is a theory of gravitation and to understand the background to the theory we have to look at how theories of gravitation developed. Aristotle's notion of the motion of bodies impeded understanding of gravitation for a long time. He believed that force could only be applied by contact; force at a distance being impossible, and a constant force was required to maintain a body in uniform motion.
Copernicus's view of the solar system was important as it allowed sensible consideration of gravitation. Kepler's laws of planetary motion and Galileo's understanding of the motion and falling bodies set the scene for Newton's theory of gravity which was presented in the Principia in 1687. Newton's law of gravitation is expressed by
F = G M1M2/d2where F is the force between the bodies of masses M1, M2 and d is the distance between them. G is the universal gravitational constant.
After receiving their definitive analytic form from Euler, Newton's axioms of motion were reworked by Lagrange, Hamilton, and Jacobi into very powerful and general methods, which employed new analytic quantities, such as potential, related to force but remote from everyday experience. Newton's universal gravitation was considered proved correct, thanks to the work of Clairaut and Laplace. Laplace looked at the stability of the solar system in Traité du Mécanique Céleste Ⓣ in 1799. In fact the so-called three-body problem was extensively studied in the 19th Century and was not properly understood until much later. The study of the gravitational potential allowed variations in gravitation caused by irregularities in the shape of the earth to be studied both practically and theoretically. Poisson used the gravitational potential approach to give an equation which, unlike Newton's, could be solved under rather general conditions.
Newton's theory of gravitation was highly successful. There was little reason to question it except for one weakness which was to explain how each of the two bodies knew the other was there. Some profound remarks about gravitation were made by Maxwell in 1864. His major work A dynamical theory of the electromagnetic field (1864) was written
... to explain the electromagnetic action between distant bodies without assuming the existence of forces capable of acting directly at sensible distances.At the end of the work Maxwell comments on gravitation.
After tracing to the action of the surrounding medium both the magnetic and the electric attractions and repulsions, and finding them to depend on the inverse square of the distance, we are naturally led to inquire whether the attraction of gravitation, which follows the same law of the distance, is not also traceable to the action of a surrounding medium.However Maxwell notes that there is a paradox caused by the attraction of like bodies. The energy of the medium must be decreased by the presence of the bodies and Maxwell said
As I am unable to understand in what way a medium can possess such properties, I cannot go further in this direction in searching for the cause of gravitation.In 1900 Lorentz conjectured that gravitation could be attributed to actions which propagate with the velocity of light. Poincaré, in a paper in July 1905 (submitted days before Einstein's special relativity paper), suggested that all forces should transform according the Lorentz transformations. In this case he notes that Newton's law of gravitation is not valid and proposed gravitational waves which propagated with the velocity of light.
In 1907, two years after proposing the special theory of relativity, Einstein was preparing a review of special relativity when he suddenly wondered how Newtonian gravitation would have to be modified to fit in with special relativity. At this point there occurred to Einstein, described by him as the happiest thought of my life , namely that an observer who is falling from the roof of a house experiences no gravitational field. He proposed the Equivalence Principle as a consequence:-
... we shall therefore assume the complete physical equivalence of a gravitational field and the corresponding acceleration of the reference frame. This assumption extends the principle of relativity to the case of uniformly accelerated motion of the reference frame.After the major step of the equivalence principle in 1907, Einstein published nothing further on gravitation until 1911. Then he realised that the bending of light in a gravitational field, which he knew in 1907 was a consequence of the equivalence principle, could be checked with astronomical observations. He had only thought in 1907 in terms of terrestrial observations where there seemed little chance of experimental verification. Also discussed at this time is the gravitational redshift, light leaving a massive body will be shifted towards the red by the energy loss of escaping the gravitational field.
Einstein published further papers on gravitation in 1912. In these he realised that the Lorentz transformations will not apply in this more general setting. Einstein also realised that the gravitational field equations were bound to be non-linear and the equivalence principle appeared to only hold locally.
This work by Einstein prompted others to produce gravitational theories. Work by Nordström, Abraham and Mie was all a consequence of Einstein's, so far failed, attempts to find a satisfactory theory. However Einstein realised his problems.
If all accelerated systems are equivalent, then Euclidean geometry cannot hold in all of them.Einstein then remembered that he had studied Gauss's theory of surfaces as a student and suddenly realised that the foundations of geometry have physical significance. He consulted his friend Grossmann who was able to tell Einstein of the important developments of Riemann, Ricci (Ricci-Curbastro) and Levi-Civita. Einstein wrote
... in all my life I have not laboured nearly so hard, and I have become imbued with great respect for mathematics, the subtler part of which I had in my simple-mindedness regarded as pure luxury until now.In 1913 Einstein and Grossmann published a joint paper where the tensor calculus of Ricci and Levi-Civita is employed to make further advances. Grossmann gave Einstein the Riemann-Christoffel tensor which, together with the Ricci tensor which can be derived from it, were to become the major tools in the future theory. Progress was being made in that gravitation was described for the first time by the metric tensor but still the theory was not right. When Planck visited Einstein in 1913 and Einstein told him the present state of his theories Planck said
As an older friend I must advise you against it for in the first place you will not succeed, and even if you succeed no one will believe you.Planck was wrong, but only just, for when Einstein was to succeed with his theory it was not readily accepted. It was the second half of 1915 that saw Einstein finally put the theory in place. Before that however he had written a paper in October 1914 nearly half of which is a treatise on tensor analysis and differential geometry. This paper led to a correspondence between Einstein and Levi-Civita in which Levi-Civita pointed out technical errors in Einstein's work on tensors. Einstein was delighted to be able to exchange ideas with Levi-Civita whom he found much more sympathetic to his ideas on relativity than his other colleagues.
At the end of June 1915 Einstein spent a week at Göttingen where he lectured for six 2 hour sessions on his (incorrect) October 1914 version of general relativity. Hilbert and Klein attended his lectures and Einstein commented after leaving Göttingen
To my great joy, I succeeded in convincing Hilbert and Klein completely.The final steps to the theory of general relativity were taken by Einstein and Hilbert at almost the same time. Both had recognised flaws in Einstein's October 1914 work and a correspondence between the two men took place in November 1915. How much they learnt from each other is hard to measure but the fact that they both discovered the same final form of the gravitational field equations within days of each other must indicate that their exchange of ideas was helpful.
On the 18th November he made a discovery about which he wrote For a few days I was beside myself with joyous excitement . The problem involved the advance of the perihelion of the planet Mercury. Le Verrier, in 1859, had noted that the perihelion (the point where the planet is closest to the sun) advanced by 38" per century more than could be accounted for from other causes. Many possible solutions were proposed, Venus was 10% heavier than was thought, there was another planet inside Mercury's orbit, the sun was more oblate than observed, Mercury had a moon and, really the only one not ruled out by experiment, that Newton's inverse square law was incorrect. This last possibility would replace the 1/d2 by 1/dp, where p = 2+ε for some very small number ε. By 1882 the advance was more accurately known, 43'' per century. From 1911 Einstein had realised the importance of astronomical observations to his theories and he had worked with Freundlich to make measurements of Mercury's orbit required to confirm the general theory of relativity. Freundlich confirmed 43" per century in a paper of 1913. Einstein applied his theory of gravitation and discovered that the advance of 43" per century was exactly accounted for without any need to postulate invisible moons or any other special hypothesis. Of course Einstein's 18 November paper still does not have the correct field equations but this did not affect the particular calculation regarding Mercury. Freundlich attempted other tests of general relativity based on gravitational redshift, but they were inconclusive.
Also in the 18 November paper Einstein discovered that the bending of light was out by a factor of 2 in his 1911 work, giving 1.74". In fact after many failed attempts (due to cloud, war, incompetence etc.) to measure the deflection, two British expeditions in 1919 were to confirm Einstein's prediction by obtaining 1.98" ± 0.30" and 1.61" ± 0.30".
On 25 November Einstein submitted his paper The field equations of gravitation which give the correct field equations for general relativity. The calculation of bending of light and the advance of Mercury's perihelion remained as he had calculated it one week earlier.
Five days before Einstein submitted his 25 November paper Hilbert had submitted a paper The foundations of physics which also contained the correct field equations for gravitation. Hilbert's paper contains some important contributions to relativity not found in Einstein's work. Hilbert applied the variational principle to gravitation and attributed one of the main theorem's concerning identities that arise to Emmy Noether who was in Göttingen in 1915. No proof of the theorem is given. Hilbert's paper contains the hope that his work will lead to the unification of gravitation and electromagnetism.
In fact Emmy Noether's theorem was published with a proof in 1918 in a paper which she wrote under her own name. This theorem has become a vital tool in theoretical physics. A special case of Emmy Noether's theorem was written down by Weyl in 1917 when he derived from it identities which, it was later realised, had been independently discovered by Ricci in 1889 and by Bianchi (a pupil of Klein) in 1902.
Immediately after Einstein's 1915 paper giving the correct field equations, Karl Schwarzschild found in 1916 a mathematical solution to the equations which corresponds to the gravitational field of a massive compact object. At the time this was purely theoretical work but, of course, work on neutron stars, pulsars and black holes relied entirely on Schwarzschild's solutions and has made this part of the most important work going on in astronomy today.
Einstein had reached the final version of general relativity after a slow road with progress but many errors along the way. In December 1915 he said of himself
That fellow Einstein suits his convenience. Every year he retracts what he wrote the year before.Most of Einstein's colleagues were at a loss to understand the quick succession of papers, each correcting, modifying and extending what had been done earlier. In December 1915 Ehrenfest wrote to Lorentz referring to the theory of November 25, 1915. Ehrenfest and Lorentz corresponded about the general theory of relativity for two months as they tried to understand it. Eventually Lorentz understood the theory and wrote to Ehrenfest saying I have congratulated Einstein on his brilliant results . Ehrenfest responded
Your remark "I have congratulated Einstein on his brilliant results" has a similar meaning for me as when one Freemason recognises another by a secret sign.In March 1916 Einstein completed an article explaining general relativity in terms more easily understood. The article was well received and he then wrote another article on relativity which was widely read and went through over 20 printings.
Today relativity plays a role in many areas, cosmology, the big bang theory etc. and now has been checked by experiment to a high degree of accuracy.

A New York City woman who posed as the aunt of a child killed in the massacre at a Sandy Hook Elementary School last December was sentenced Tuesday to 8 months in prison and two years' probation.
Alba is required to report to prison in six weeks.
The family of 6-year-old shooting victim James Mattioli appeared at the sentencing. Mark Mattioli, James' father, called Alba's actions were "immediate, intrusive, exploitative, disgusting" and said they "added to [his] feeling of victimization."
Nouel Alba, 37, pleaded guilty in June to wire fraud and making false statements after posing as a victim's family member in the aftermath of the shooting to solicit donations for a "funeral fund" on behalf of the family of 6-year-old Noah Pozner, who died at the school.
Alba allegedly claimed to be Pozner's aunt.
According to prosecutors, Alba started collecting money the day after the shooting, then sent an email to the Sandy Hook PTA asking for donations.
Between Dec. 14 and Dec. 20 of last year, four donations totaling $240 were sent to Alba's PayPal account, officials said.
Alba has admitted that she is not related to Pozner and accepted a plea deal that could give her up to six months in jail. Prosecutors are asking that she serve at least a year in prison.
She was indicted in May on one count each of first-degree scheming to defraud and second-degree identity theft, according to the Office of the Bronx District Attorney.
The family of Noah Pozner said they will not attend Alba's sentencing. Alba also cannot afford to travel from the Bronx to Hartford, so the court will pay for her to take public transportation, the Today Show has learned.
Alba sought probation, arguing that she's already been punished by the media.
She has paid restitution and can appeal the ruling.

'Runway' fight is on
Lifetime proudly claimed today that it, in a "groundbreaking partnership" with The Weinstein Company, has usurped "Project Runway's" season six in November.
NBC-Bravo responded that they'll face a lawsuit first.
The NBC Universal statement in its entirety: "NBC Universal has continuing legal rights related to "Project Runway,"
including a right of first refusal to future cycles of the series, which The Weinstein Company unfortunately has refused to honor. NBC Universal regrettably had no alternative but to bring legal action to enforce its rights to this program, including the right to decide whether it is in the best interest of the company to continue to air the show under the proposed financial terms."
This could be more fun than watching Tim Gunn dissolve in a fit of arrogance.

Seven years after his death at age 85, James Doohan is reaching the final frontier at last. The Star Trek actor's cremated remains, along with those of Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper and 306 other people, soared into orbit aboard the SpaceX rocket in the early hours of May 22.
(VIDEO: Space Tourism: Will It Fly?)
Doohan, who played engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on the small and silver screen, is (or was) a client of Celestis, a company that specializes in sending human remains on one last voyage beyond Earth's atmosphere.
(MORE: Ashton Kutcher Signs Up to Be Shot Into Space)
Celestis' prices for their unique services vary. According to its website, a suborbital flight with a return to Earth starts at $995, Earth orbit is just under $3,000, a trip to the Moon costs close to $10,000, and a deep space launch will run almost $13,000. That's a bargain compared to the services of Virgin Galactic, which hopes to soon transport the living into space. Tickets aboard the Virgin Galactic shuttle cost $200,000 and require a $20,000 deposit, according to the official company website.
(MORE: SpaceX Flight Launches: Could Private Space Flight Make NASA Irrelevant?)
What do you get for your money? Celestis Memorial Spaceflights place a symbolic portion of cremated remains on the rockets, wisely keeping some back on Earth just in case something goes wrong. When SpaceX's first-of-its-kind commercial rocket lifted off this morning, according to ABC News, it held the ashes in a canister in the second stage of the Falcon 9 rocket. That rocket separated from the main capsule nine minutes into the flight. It will now orbit the Earth for up to a year before re-entering the atmosphere and burning up. (Celestia also offers missions into space that return the cremated remains safely to Earth.)
(MORE: Supply Ship Rockets Toward Space Station)
NASA's Alan Lindenmoyer, who oversees the agency's relationship with SpaceX, assured ABC News that the sad celestial cargo passed all of NASA's safety requirements. "We had to make sure it would not interfere in any way with our mission objectives before we allowed it go into the rocket," he said. For SpaceX, working with Celestia is a profitable enterprise, well worth the cost of ensuring the flight is up to NASA's safety requirements. The price of the ride for the ashes of the 308 passengers adds up to almost $1 million, according to ABC News. For the loved ones of the deceased passengers, however, the satisfaction of a final wish fulfilled can be priceless.

New York lawmakers seek to ban all non-essential helicopters over NYC
A trio of New York City lawmakers aim to ban all tourist and ride-sharing helicopters flying in Big Apple airspace in the aftermath of deadly crashes.
Democratic Reps. Jerrold Nadler, Carolyn Maloney and Nydia Velazquez will unveil their legislation to restrict commercial helicopter rides on the steps of City Hall on Saturday morning.
The Improving Helicopter Safety Act of 2019 would drastically reduce helicopter traffic, improve safety, and cut down on noise by prohibiting non-essential helicopters from flying within New York City airspace, the lawmakers said in a joint statement.
The bill will be tailored to apply just to New York City, given the population density and size specified in the text, according to an aide.
The ban would apply to all sight-seeing chopper rides as well as Uber, Blade and other flight-hailing services. Exceptions would be made for police, medical, emergency and disaster relief efforts. News gathering outlets could also still fly, according to another aide briefed on the bill.
The legislation comes after a sight-seeing helicopter crashed into the East River on March 11, 2018, killing five passengers.
Then in June, a helicopter made a crash landing on a midtown skyscraper, killing the pilot Tim McCormack.
At least 30 helicopters have crashed in New York City, causing at least 25 fatalities since 1982, the lawmakers said, citing National Transportation Safety Board records

PRINCE - Muse 2 The Pharaoh Lyrics
Come on y'all, uh!
Ooh, ooh darling, oh
If she could be muse 2 the Pharaoh
Then one day she might be queen
If like Sheba, she then could bring presents and wine
The helix - he might get between them
In other words - intertwine
With the ebony milk of her thighs, yeah
She could be muse and let him decide
Perhaps she'll let him decide
She could be muse, yeah
There is nothing he wouldn't give her, see?
4 the future of the nation rests in belly
And if the Proverb of the 31 and verse 10
Becomes the song she sings again and again
She might be queen
Keep clappin', y'all
If she could be muse 2 the Pharaoh
One day she might be queen
Take a load off sweetie darling
Let me run agenda through your hair
There's so much information 4 the next generation
Who gonna drop it if U're not there?
And whether the enemy makes a run on the palace
Or whether the enemy does not
The children will be laced with the protection of the word of God
The opposite of NATO is monotheism
And if the number 13 is such a bad luck number
When there's no such thing as luck
The berries, talons, arrows and stars
Are all superstitions, what the ....
Get busy, big baby cuz when dem devil come
They come dressed as light
Maybe they gon' fool the untrained mind
But nobody I know gon' bite
Like a thief in the night, my Lord come and strike
Leave nothing but ashes 2 the left, dust 2 the right
Holocaust aside, many lived and died
When all truth is told, would U rather be dead or be sold?
Sold 2 the one who can now mate
The displaced bloodline with the white jail bait
Thinkin' like the keys on 'Nato's piano just fine
So there it is - 4 U 2 see
What's beyond U and me
Depends my friends primarily
On how U view your role in eternity
If she could be muse 2 the Pharaoh
