Bloomberg Tax
This Portfolio is available with a subscription to Bloomberg Tax, a comprehensive research solution including over 500 Tax Management Portfolios, practice tools, primary sources and timely news.
The U.S. International Taxation of Telecoms Portfolio provides an overview of the various types of telecommunications service providers, the services they provide and the main regulatory bodies responsible for shaping global telecommunications policy. The Portfolio also provides a historical discussion of the U.S. telecommunications industry and a summary of the recent trends in international deregulation of the telecommunications industry, including the Telecommunications Act of 1996 and the World Trade Organization's Basic Agreement on Telecommunications.
The Portfolio then examines the telecommunications tax issues surrounding permanent establishments and U.S. trade or business concepts; the U.S. sourcing rules on Space and Ocean Income and International Communications Income under §863(d) and (e) respectively. The Portfolio also analyzes the depreciation issues surrounding both wireline and wireless assets, the excise tax on "communications services" as defined by §4251, and whether certain telecommunications assets constitute real or personal property, including FIRPTA issues involved in owning telephone cables and Indefeasible Rights of Use in dark fiber.
The Portfolio concludes with a discussion of the taxation of Indefeasible Rights of Use on dark and lit fiber and an examination of the Subpart F consequences of income from Indefeasible Rights of Use Agreements on dark and lit fiber owned by controlled foreign corporations.

Vehicles at St Kilda
Since initial Museum collection started off with four trams in 1958 with a fifth arriving in 1959, the Museum has collected and restored a number of trams from not only Adelaide but also from interstate
to show the progression of tramcar development over the years. Today, the Museum now has 23 trams, a horse box, 4 trolley buses, two horse trams that preceded and a diesel bus that followed the street system electric trams stored in five buildings. In addition
there are two workshops, a wheel lathe building, ancillary storage sheds, an entrance gallery, tearoom/bookshop, modern administration and archives rooms, a number of interpretative displays and authentic street furniture of the period.
The Museum may be one of few in the world that can boast of holding at least one representative example of every principle tram type to have been in service on a city street system for the life of the system. Throughout its 50 years the Museum has been 'staffed' entirely by volunteers and has relied upon visitor admissions for funding. Major projects are often supported by special donations from Museum members.

You may have been wondering where we'd disappeared to and why we hadn't been blogging. Or at least, that's what I keep telling myself. Well, we've been busy, sort of. And we've been traveling a lot, but what else is new. The truth is, we're tired. Really tired.
We've hit a traveling wall and are doing our best to work through it. In the past few weeks, both Mark and I have had a "I'm sick of this and it's time to go home" moment. Somehow Mark managed not to burst into tears like I did, twice. Luckily, both times the other person was in a better spot and we carried on.
We have just arrived on the island of Zanzibar in Tanzania after being in Uganda for over a month. We were visiting Mark's elementary school friend Beth, whom Mark had reconnected with on Facebook. I volunteered at the Jane Goodall Institute, where Beth has been interning for the past four months. Mark got to volunteer on an organic farm. It was nice to be in the same place for a while and have something constructive to do. At the end of our Ugandan visit, I found it a chore to plan the rest of this journey.
Some of you may be rolling your eyes and thinking I should be more grateful for being able to do what we're doing. I know I'm ridiculously lucky to be traveling for a year. I'm reminded of how lucky I am every single day.
But it'll be nice to not have to haggle with someone just so I can go grab some lunch. I'm also looking forward to sleeping in the same bed – my bed – for more than a few nights in a row. And a bowl of cereal for dinner in front of the TV would be nice too. Plus the one pair of pants I brought are suddenly rebelling. I reinforced the seam in the seat and sewed the rear pockets back on while in Indonesia, but now the crotch seam is failing (looks like I'll be sewing tonight) and I had to fix a tear in the leg with my tent repair kit. No longer will the cute bracelet and jaunty earrings I bought in Kampala cover the fact that I look like a dirty backpacker. I think it's a sign that the end of the trip is near.
So that's our excuse for not writing- travel fatigue. However, we have had some pretty exciting experiences while in Uganda and now that we're here in Zanzibar for a rest, we'll be able to type them out and get them online.
We've got 5 more weeks until we return home to the States. Still on the list after Zanzibar are Lamu in Kenya and a few weeks in Ethiopia. Hopefully, our R&R here in the spice islands will give us the second (or twelfth) wind we need to make the most of the rest of our trip.
Thanks for sticking with us!

text: Fiji – Australia: A new chapter Joint statement The Hon Julie Bishop MP, Minister for Foreign Affairs Ratu Inoke Kubuabola MP, Minister for Foreign Affairs, Fiji 31 October 2014 Today we are pleased to have met in Suva to reaffirm our mutual commitment to taking the bilateral relationship forward to a new era of partnership and prosperity. This is the first visit to Fiji by a Foreign Minister since the election and the first bilateral visit by an Australian Foreign Minister since 2008. It demonstrates our commitment to normalise our bilateral relations. We are laying the foundations for strong linkages in diverse spheres: government-government and parliamentary, defence and security, economic and trade, and people-to-people links. We are pleased to announce the exchange of High Commissioners. Reflecting our return to a normal bilateral relationship, Fiji will conclude its selection of a High Commissioner to Australia shortly, while Ms Margaret Twomey will soon take up the position of Australian High Commissioner to Fiji. We are also pleased to announce the establishment of regular bilateral senior officials'talks. These will be an opportunity for Fiji and Australia to work together to address global security challenges, regional issues and strengthen the bilateral trade and investment relationship. We look forward to Fiji and Australia resuming a full defence and regional security relationship. We also agreed to discuss regional architecture to ensure it remains relevant to political, economic and social needs. Beyond our strong pledge to continue to work more closely at the Government to Government level, we reaffirmed our commitment to the continued strengthening of people-to-people links. Australia also invited Fiji to join the Seasonal Worker Program and a Memorandum of Understanding will put the necessary arrangements in place for this Program to begin. Fiji's inclusion in the Work and Holiday Visa program is progressing. We welcome Fiji's participation in the New Colombo Plan, which will see Australian undergraduates studying in Fiji. Australia has announced the first group of successful students. This will be a transformational experience for young people– and help deepen the already strong people-people relationship between Australia and Fiji.

Vitamin K deficiency bleeding is a problem that occurs in some newborns. It happens during the first few days and weeks of life. This condition used to be called hemorrhagic disease of the newborn. Vitamin K deficiency bleeding after the first 3 or 4 weeks of life is usually due to problems other than those listed here.
The following things may make it more likely for a baby to have this condition:
Symptoms can occur a bit differently in each child. They can include:
Your child's healthcare provider will look at his or her health history. The healthcare provider will also check your baby for signs of bleeding. Your baby may need lab tests to measure his or her blood clotting times. The results of these tests can help your child's healthcare provider make the diagnosis.
Treatment will depend on your child's symptoms, age, and general health. It will also depend on how severe the condition is.
Your baby may need a blood transfusion if he or she has severe bleeding.
Tips to help you get the most from a visit to your child's healthcare provider:

39 comments:
Getting better, Andrew!!ReplyDelete
This surpasses the previous work, I think. There is a limit to your growth?
I think we should all be used and we should not wonder more than what we see in your blog. Or, should speak for myself, that I am staying with my mouth open with each new post.
Heya RobertoReplyDelete
thank you very much! Well your last wtow roks have me tickled you know. I will b e there soon!
Here is the story . I am dopple ganger. Or he is me?
Hola. El meu nom és Enric Doppleganger, és diumenge al matí - i tinc una mala ressaca.
El nen en aquestes fotografies és el meu fill, Woody.
Woody, per descomptat, és famós per ser el model de Pinotxo en Les Aventures de Pinotxo de la novel.la.
Carlo Collodi "Lorenzini (l'autor), només es va reunir una vegada Woody. Però això era suficient.
Collodi no descobrir tot sobre el meu nen però.
Per exemple, mai van descobrir que Woody era en realitat un nen de veritat viure amb una mala condició de la pell (oakenwoodiosis rosaceau).
I per descomptat del nas de Woody era fals. Tothom al poble ho sap!
Ens ho havia fet pel fuster local Padacious Pere, en substitució d'un original - que havia estat mossegat per un dels pobles de Woody donzelles (filla il.legítima del sacerdot crec) durant un atac prolongat de "petit malament".
Collodi tampoc descobrir que Woody era un ballarí meravellós del pòquer.
I que estava en gran demanda amb les noies de certa alçada, el pes, la religió i la inclinació - que tots pensem que seria un soci ideal marrigae (marrigae ser un ball) - i seria molt útil si es van quedar sense fusta durant els hiverns freds tenim per aquí (Vladastan).
I de mi?
Bé d'acord a aquest lloc, "Doppelganger" en alemany significa "caminant doble" - una ombra que un mateix es creu que acompanyen a cada persona. Només el propietari de la Doppelganger pot veure aquest fantasma un mateix, i que pot ser un presagi de mort.
Tots hem d'anar alguna vegada. Només aneu en compte quan vostè està buscant en el mirall.
By the way Roberto, I followed your lead and used the boy's direction of gaze to help the compositional flowReplyDelete
Thanks Andrew, I appreciate your words, it's always an honor that people who knows much about painting, drawing and graphics in general, like you, look at our work.ReplyDelete
Everything is a learning, and we learn from each other, do not you think so?
We must never say that something does not interest us. What today we are not interested maybe tomorrow is something to be watched.
Thanks again, really.
Awesome work as always but I have to admit I'm a little creeped out but you ment that right?ReplyDelete
Roberto I think its great to learn from other artists! Even if we learn what works - and what doesn't!ReplyDelete
Kylie. Thankyou! Oh the creep part? Sure :) It just comes with the territory. Personfied dolls, body parts, ghosts, scary clown faces, dungeons, creepy light, lost details in the shadows... we're all kids lost in a dark cave back in archetypal human memories (well I am :) )
Blame Jung. he dug it up I think.
Oh I left out the pseudo crucification which gets that emotive correlative happening with us Christians - and others?ReplyDelete
And the jack in the box? Another example of being afraid of the unknown (like maths exams)
Andrew, you are a twisted crazy talented guy. I love it!ReplyDelete
PS I mean that it only the best way possible!ReplyDelete
Alrighty. Where do I begin? Or maybe I shouldn't?
Well, it seems that your head (read:mind) is naturally expanding in an accelerating speed. Best to duck under water when it's time to burst?
But seriously, doppelgänger, huh? Well, a wise human being would surely steer clear from one, but wisdom seems to be scarcely available in my cupboard these days. Better go down to the shops and buy some. :))
And congrats to Woody for being in demand, of course. Now who could ever resist a poker dancer? Better than that clown, who looks like he's in misery...
All in all, this is yet another fantastically confusing, creepy and fun mind jogger. The thoughts of your recipes and techniques made me all dizzy already.ReplyDelete
Four thumbs up?? :)
...but I wonder what Woody is hiding behind his back? :)
Hello A.B. Finnie! Another ingenius, twisted, amazing, and .... dare I say it....? DARK work. OK, so I used the "d" word.... sorry. It's like Pinnochio meets Freddie Kruger.... Nightmare on a Vladastan street? Hey thanks for adding me into your work Andrew. That "Jack" in the box has me written all over it :o) I guess if Mr. Doppleganger wouldn't have made his scotch's "DOUBLES" last night, he may not be suffering from a hangover this morning. Thanks for being so entertaining my friend!ReplyDelete
Oh I'm learning 2D animation through a program I bought called Anime studio debut. Its so cool.... ever heard of it? I'm teaching myself... so it's a bit slow going, besides my teacher doesn't know what he's doing! :o)ReplyDelete
Hey, you should see this one:ReplyDelete
Honestly, you guys could be buddies! :))
Ohhohooo.. sorry, sorry, this will be the last of me! You have got to see this too:ReplyDelete
Très beau travail...ReplyDelete
check your mail, Andrew :) we have a surprise for you!ReplyDelete
These are fantastic.ReplyDelete
Congratulations Andrew, tomorrow, Monday morning I lift my glass of champagne (not French champagne, as you can see I follow your instructions), I gave my dog Tino to drink 5 bottles of CLOS DES GOISSES de PHILIPPONNAT , which I kept for if one day you came to visit. He is so happy wagging his tail like a fan ... and hug me three times and told me he is my best friend, and he loves me.ReplyDelete
Oh, I forgot.ReplyDelete
I congratulated you on your illustration in Mr. Spoqui.
well, this illustration is impeccable!ReplyDelete
but if I had seen as a child would be very impressed and scared!
the way I was scared ...
was? :/
a big hug!!
A touch of horror is always appreciated when it comes as part of a great piece of art as this one and the pictures are amazing , it's really interesting to see the work in different angles.ReplyDelete
Magnífico! :D
hello Heinrich Doppleganger, we are so much alike, look at this:ReplyDelete
(Your friend Roberto made it for me, taken when i was drunk)
Theres something eerie about those images, but thats why i keep staring.
im in the pole dancing class with Sir Regie if you need me ok.ReplyDelete
Amazing on so many levels... the macabre, the humor the intermixed moments of surprise, dread, and the surreal.ReplyDelete
ok, this is full on creepy, you got your twisted-ness back pretty quickly there Mr. Finnie, you seem to be able to switch back and forth pretty easily now, kind of Jekyll and Hyde-ish I think ;) ... and I am two days late commenting! what it up with that? You keep sneaking them by me somehow! LOL. I think an elephant could sneak by me right now, too much Sudafed or something, I was taking care a sick child and now I am sick.ReplyDelete
Terrifically Twisted!!ReplyDelete
Andrew, please, you write on the blog of one you want, and signatures as you want, you should never say sorry to me. Here, I'm strange.ReplyDelete
The mistake was mine, since I knew nothing of Sir R. and thought it was someone trying to get into the game. (But without the right cards) I understand myself. I apologize.
Another issue, tell me please: Why you write me in Catalan? A language is fun, but unfortunately I understand unless to English, ja ja! maybe I can understand some Chinese.!
Twisted and beautiful,as usual!ReplyDelete
Thank you for your comments and observations! Yes, it seems my blog is hard to find, I've already been told so. It's probably my server's fault: it's not as international as "Blogger". I might change of server but for now I'm happy with its friendly-user quality. And don't worry about the comments on my blog: to have just a few, wonderful people like you stopping by every once in a while is enough to make my day!
ok Mr Finnie, get your spectacles out, I need you to check out the picnic ants again! Thanks in advance!ReplyDelete
oh by the way have you seen this guys (http://nenent.blogspot.com/) work? just thought you might like itReplyDelete
Great job!ReplyDelete
Picture perfect and amazing!
Your talent is fantastic!
I loved!
WOW, amazing yet again, Andrew. Your work just takes me into another world...I am transported to a different time and place and a feeling of an adventurer when I view the details in your art. The images can jolt because of their arresting qualities, and then delight...truly something very different from any other artist I've come across.ReplyDelete
Thank you so much for your kind words..it means a lot to me to hear from my artist friends and through all of these many months blogging, I feel that I couldn't have brought this to life without all of your support and feedback. Thanks my friend!
I've always loved Jack in the boxes, but disembodied doll parts creep me out :) Wonderful escape from reality as always Andrew!ReplyDelete
Andrew, thank you very much for your concepts.ReplyDelete
Sometimes when you do things passionately (happens to me) does not think about what is being done, draw or paint almost mechanically, the result is changing as the work grows.
then all those things you see in my paintings, I think they are possibly the purest graphical subconscious. (I hope Mr Google has translated correctly). Thanks for letting me see myself.
The girl with the table is my eldest daughter in NZ where she lives.
Oh. please, I can not believe what you said about the change of icon!!
Thanks again. (Can I say: a hug?)
are you looking for me?ReplyDelete
Stop ruminating spit it out already!ReplyDelete
Heheh. :))
Hi Andrew, recently I read your comment about the beer, look here and you'll see how we drink beer where I live, haha.ReplyDelete
Ah, Japanese flyer was no fool!
(Japanese girls do not have moustaches?. They are very rare then!)
Argentine men are afraid of women with a rolling pin, but when we arrived late and they are waiting behind the door. But now there is a new design for smooth rolling pin, can give you in the head three times you feel no pain.
I think the winter is going, today there was a maximum temperature of 8 degrees.
see you soon.

Last week, representatives of the U.S. and U.K. governments signed the first-ever umbrella agreement on science and technology between the two nations. The first major project that supported under the agreement is the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment project at Fermilab.
On Sept. 20, the U.S. and U.K. governments signed the "first-ever umbrella agreement" on science and technology between the two longtime allies. The agreement, which provides a "flexible framework" for government-to-government research collaboration and establishes a set of common principles, has been in the works since 2015. U.S. science agencies had requested the agreement in part to make it easier to launch large-scale scientific projects.
In a ceremony that took place in the State Department's Treaty Room, Acting Assistant Secretary for Oceans and International Environmental and Scientific Affairs Judith Garber joined U.K. Minister of State for Universities, Science, Research and Innovation Jo Johnson in formally signing the agreement. Chief Executive Designate for U.K. Research and Innovation Sir Mark Walport was also present as part of the U.K. delegation.
At the signing, Johnson explained the U.K.'s interest in furthering scientific cooperation with the U.S.:
Our continued collaboration with the U.S. on science and innovation is beneficial to both of our nations, and through this agreement we are sharing expertise to enhance our understanding of many important topics that have the potential to be world changing. The U.K. is known as a nation of science and technical progress, with research and development being at the core of our industrial strategy. By working with our key allies, we are maintaining our position as a global leader in research for years to come.
While the text of the agreement is not yet publicly available, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy outlined its contours in a blog post:
Scientific and policy areas that this bilateral agreement aims to cover include basic science, early-stage R&D, emerging technologies like artificial intelligence, promising new public–private partnership models, and the role that science and technological advancement play in economic prosperity. The agreement sets forth principles for scientific collaboration on a wide variety of subjects, including the sharing of professional expertise, materials and equipment, the handling of jointly-developed intellectual property, and encouraging open data to ensure that collaborative research benefits the governments of both countries, and the private sector to drive job growth and economic prosperity.
Neutrino project is first major collaboration supported under agreement
As the first major collaboration supported under the agreement, the U.K. has pledged $88 million for construction of the Long-Baseline Neutrino Facility / Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (LBNF/DUNE) hosted at Fermilab outside Batavia, Illinois.
According to a Fermilab spokesperson, it will be the largest physics experiment ever built in the U.S. The Department of Energy's fiscal year 2018 budget request describes it as the "first-ever large-scale international science facility hosted by the U.S." and estimates DOE's share of the construction costs will be around $1.5 billion.
Fermilab says it is depending on international partners like the U.K. to help design, build, and operate the facility, and that more than 1,000 scientists and 31 countries are contributing so far. In a statement, Fermilab Director Nigel Lockyer explained the importance of the U.K.'s investment:
The United Kingdom has long been a leader in this area of science, starting with Ernest Rutherford in the early 20th Century. This agreement ensures that LBNF/DUNE will have great scientific and technical strength on the team as we chart the bright future for neutrino research.
After the State Department signing ceremony, Johnson traveled to Illinois to visit Fermilab, where he toured the LBNF facilities currently under construction and other areas of the lab hosting U.S.-U.K. research collaborations. Physicists hope LBNF/DUNE will lead to better understanding of neutrinos, which could ultimately help explain why matter predominated over anti-matter following the Big Bang.
Agreement builds on history of strong research collaborations
The agreement builds on a history of bilateral collaborations between the U.S. and U.K. in academic science and a broad range of industries. The State Department touts on its website that "the U.S.-U.K. scientific partnership is one of the world's strongest, with bilateral collaborations resulting in 26 Nobel prizes for science and economics."
While this is being called the first umbrella research agreement strictly between the U.S. and U.K., the U.S. and E.U., of which the U.K. is currently a member, also have an umbrella agreement for scientific and technological cooperation that was first signed in 1997 and was mostly recently renewed in 2014 through October 2018. The U.K.'s recent decision to leave the E.U. has led it to seek a more independent policy and new cooperative agreements.
The new agreement recalls earlier military R&D arrangements between the U.S. and the U.K. during World War II and the Cold War. For example, the Quebec Agreement, signed in 1943 by Prime Minister Winston Churchill and President Franklin Roosevelt established the practice of "full and effective interchange of information and ideas" in scientific research and development related to the atomic bomb.
Other U.S.–U.K. joint S&T initiatives that the White House says are under consideration in addition to LBNF/DUNE include the "development of MRI and PET standards, quantum technologies, and collaborations on autonomous transportation technologies."

Hmm. You should get the extension point in if the code isn't too ugly (I know I wrote the parallel deployment code but I haven't looked at it in almost a year and I don't recall exactly where that is extracted) but you certainly won't get that behaviour by default since "/myproject-1.5" is a perfectly valid context path. >>> 1.

Details in the Context and Host docs. > Don't you think that Tomcat relies too much on filenames when it comes to > context names? No. The switch over to using just the file name was to avoid a host of problems around automated deployment associated with the approach that you are currently suggesting. The problem was mainly one of complexity. Dealing with all the various edge cases and conflicts got to the point where a simpler solution was required. The file name approach has been refined slightly (mainly around the extraction or not of context.xml files) but the fundamental basis has remained unchanged since it was first implemented and we haven't yet found a use case it can't meet. Some folks don't like the configuration required for their particular use case but that is a different issue. Alternative suggestions are welcome but they are going to have to stand up to scrutiny. > I think it is good to have some convention over > configuration, but I'm missing the configuration options here. I haven't seen you describe anything you can't do with the current scheme so far, just some things you would prefer to configure differently. If you can find a way to do what you want that doesn't cause a bunch of problems elsewhere (either for other users or in maintenance) then patches to achieve those changes are likely to find their way into the code base. As an aside, the only thing I am aware of you can't do with the current scheme is have a context path of "/ROOT" and you can do that if you define the context in server.xml.

Puerto Rico – San Juan Budget Resorts
San Juan may be the money town of Puerto Rico. The town had been established by Spanish colonists now, it's the distinction to be the 2nd earliest city founded because of the European colonialists in the us. The town is home to numerous historic monuments, including the former defensive forts, Fort San Felipe Del Morro, Fort San Cristobal, and La Fortaleza. Due to its rich historic heritage, it is able to entice a lot of tourists from throughout the planet; and is one of the more well-known tourist destinations across The united states.
Becoming a tourist spot, the city has a great deal to offer regarding accommodation. Listed below are a few of the cost-effective accommodation options that you could select from:
1. La Caleta Rentals
11 Caleta de Las Monjas in Old San Juan
The house provides great accommodation at affordable prices. Only at that residential property, you are provided properly furnished areas with appropriate sanitation services, kitchen areas or kitchenettes and split living rooms inside bigger apartments. They also have access to laundry machines if you'd like all of them. The spaces are available in studios to three-bedroom apartments.
2. Casa del Caribe
57 Caribe Street in Condado, San Juan
Even though property is not one with 5 star services, however it holds this appeal of efficiency, that will be hard to match. The property offers clean and comfortable spaces, with proper sanitation facilities. Furthermore near to the beach; which means you have comfortable access to those night strolls alongside the beach.
3. Tres Palmas Inn
2212 Park Boulevard, San Juan
The rise in popularity of this small inn could be judged by the reality, that during the peak months, the prices go sky-high. However, you receive low priced rates through the off-season.

"With a burst of flame and smoke, a Chinese rocket blasted off into orbit yesterday. But it was the state news agency that moved faster than the speed of light, publishing the transcript of an "in-space" conversation between the astronauts before they had even left Earth.
The Xinhua news agency posted an article on its website breathlessly describing the Shenzhou VII spacecraft in orbit and quoting exchanges between the crew, possibly during the most important part of the mission: China's first spacewalk. The only problem was that the crew were still on terra firma."
This story reminded me of reports that a Russian TV channel was to show an Italian documentary that took the view that the September 11 attacks were an inside job. I remember too, that an American official once told how he was repeatedly asked by diplomats from foreign countries whether it was true that the US had attacked itself. I wouldn't be at all surprised if the Chinese recorded this message in the belief that the Americans had done something similar when they first went into space. What is striking is how even government officials, closer to the centre of power in the world than any of us, can turn to conspiracy theories to explain the events they supposedly direct.
The EU has also fallen for the siren call of paranoia. Whispers have been heard in the institutions, given credence by the President of the 'parliament' Potterung, that the CIA funded the Irish 'No' campaign. One wonders if these people are quite right in the head. There is a very simple explanation for the failure of the Lisbon Constitution; it is unwanted. Even the generally pro-EU Irish spotted that this consitution would diminish democracy in the already opaque institutions. But there's a more general reason that is true of the Irish as much as the French, Dutch and the British. People are happy with the EU as long as they can believe that it is what they want it to be – either a trading organisation, or something little more than one. That is what the Eurocrats told us they were building.
They were lying. And for a long while the lie worked – eurosceptics were seen as extremists, liars and conspiracy theorists. As the veil has been raised on what the EU was always intended to be – a federal state – the pretence can no longer be kept up. It is now the europhiles who appear as the extremists, and who are finding refuge in the bolt-hole of the extremist and the fanatic – conspiracy theories. Fanatics and extremists are prone to confirmation bias more than the rest of us. They only see what they want to see, and interpret everything in terms of their own belief systems. It is a well known psychological phenomenon, used to predict the success of psychics and astrologers amongst other things.
It is a 50/50 question whether EU officials really believe the CIA have been attempting to influence Irish referenda. When we want to believe something, we are capable of lying to ourselves. Sartre called this 'bad faith'; it is the state of mind where one knows one's beliefs aren't true – where one both believes and doesn't believe something. I suspect that the europhiles are finding it very hard to recognize that they are not wanted and not needed, that people are at best indifferent to them, and at worst outright hostile. Hopefully this stage will pass and they will bow to the democratic wishes of the vaious peoples of Europe. If it doesn't, if they persist in this paranoid route of thought, believing that malevolent forces are against them and must be found and thwarted, nasty things could happen

I just had to post this, because the message is so clear. The three main causes of PREVENTABLE causes of deaths in the U.S.A are;
These are all addiction related , nicotine addiction, food addiction and alcohol addiction. Do you still wonder what the problem is? Obesity is caused by addiction and it needs to be treated like one. And prevented by avoiding the unhealthy, food like products, that is referred to in the trailer.

Martha Collins's father, as a five-year-old boy, sold fruit in front of the Blue Front Restaurant in Cairo, Illinois, in November 1909. What he witnessed there, along with the reported 10,000 participants, is shocking.
There were trees on those streets that were named
for trees: Sycamore, Cedar, Poplar, Pine,
Elm, where the woman's body was found,
where the man's body was taken and burned—
There must have been trees, there were trees
on Seventh Street, in front of the house that stands
in the picture behind the carriage that holds
the boy's mother, the boy's cousin, the boy—
And of course there were trees on Washington
Avenue, wide boulevard lined with exotic
ginkgoes, stately magnolias, there were trees
on that street that are still on that street,
trees that shaded the fenced-in yards of the large
Victorian houses, the mansion built by the man
who sold flour to Grant for the Union troops,
trees that were known to the crowd that saw
the victim hanged, though not on a tree, this
was not the country, they used a steel arch
with electric lights, and later a lamppost, this
was a modern event, the trees were not involved.
as a mirror on a wall, or the fall
of a dress. a dress, a shirt on a line
to fasten to dry. on the rack, or back
in the closet again, a sweet curse
on it all, sliver of nail, delayed
attack. shamed creature, a curse
on itself, so the act of doing it
changes the verb, tense with not
quite right. with rope, like a swing
from a tree. from a pole, like a flag,
or holidays, from an arch lit bright
with lights. in the night, in the air
like a shirt. without, or with only
a shirt. without, like an empty sleeve.

Arisu Fujisaki (藤崎有栖)Angel Entry Phrase: Unknown
Date of birth: June 25, 1987
Arisu is a talented genius Angel-builder who aids her sister in creating Angels. She follows in her sister's steps as a talented Kung Fu artist, and creates very strong and agile angels. Arisu does not make Angels for herself, suggesting that she is not good at guiding them. Arisu designed Mao and Unpyo to be stronger than Suzuka, but Unpyo loses to Suzuka in record time, which mortifies her and her sister. After sabotaging Hikaru with a transmitter, Arisu is caught by Ohjiro Mihara and is told that Angelic Layer is meant to show true talent and that anyone can be brilliant, thus forcing her to give up cheating to win. She is very sensitive about the Angels she builds, and accuses her sister of not liking the Angels she made after their loss to Hikaru. Arisu creates a balance oriented Angel for herself near the end of the anime, called Alice, and vows to beat Hikaru in a friendly battle. At the end credits, in the last episode, Arisu is shown fighting the angel Queen with Alice.

Despite an apparent lack of interest in space exploration by our government here in the United States, the notion of interstellar travel is an important idea in the public consciousness. Many of us are anxiously awaiting the new Star Trek film — we need our "fix" of a speculative future where humanity lives not on a single world, but on a multitude of different planets and can travel at will between them. Space Travel is part of our culture, and we can't get enough.
Even as we wait for NASA to regain a nominal ability for manned space exploration with the new (and not particularly creatively named) Space Launch System and Crew Exploration Vehicles, we can find some interest in the fate of our (somewhat dated) unmanned spacecraft that have left, or are about to leave, the confines of our local solar system and have made it into interstellar space. These are the emissaries of our species, and it's interesting to think about where they are going and what they will encounter.
There are currently five such spacecraft that have reached escape velocity and are on a heading for the unknown regions of deep space beyond the influence of our home star. Two are presumably "dead" and lack the ability to report any information back to us. Three are still functional at some level and can communicate basic telemetry back to Earth, if only we continue to listen. Both Voyager spacecraft are transmitting as is the New Horizons probe that recently left Pluto and headed towards the edges of the known solar system. Listening to their reports is often tedious and can become expensive, but every bit of data that they transmit is new information about a region of space that is almost completely unknown. I hope that our technology continues to improve and allows us to listen to these data streams for as long as possible. Ignoring them would be a crime — a crime that the right-wing partisans in Washington are all-to-ready to commit.

I fucking love the shit of out Palkoski and Existentium, and from what I hear Acid Deth Kult is pretty intense, too.
So, you can imagine I was pretty bummed to have to miss it since we're still running the family on one car as mine patiently waits for repair. Fortunately, if you also missed it and are bumming... bum no more!
Local photographer Ron Atkins captured the whole thing in pictures - a lot of pictures! He graciously posted the bounteous gallery on Facebook for us to see.
Kudos to Ron for compiling such an great gallery of this show at The Lab! Hopefully it'll help others who might be on the fence about going see what a good spot it is for shows.
Check out the gallery in its entirety here!

- Live High
- The World As I See It
- A Beautiful Mess
- You and I Both
- The Remedy / Wonderwall (Oasis Interlude)

"How you do anything is how you do everything. So are you one that's just gonna sit on your hands through life, or you gonna dance and let go and have a good time on this ride?" ~ Jason Mraz, October 30th, Smart-Araneta Coliseum, Manila (I love what he just said at the concert while he asked us to do a high five. This made sense right? Good thing, I caught most of his performances with this on video)
By the way, Jason Mraz and Toca Rivera is touring the world and is making a documentary of how amazingly wonderful each place they visit is. I wonder when will they release this. I'll sure grab the first copy! :)
At the end of the Manila show, Jason also made a promise to all of his fans that he'll be back in 2012. Yipppee! I'll see you again! Hope next time I could take a picture with you. Please?
|Please Mr.A-Z, just one photo with you?
By the way, you'll know that you had a great concert night when you're hearing the songs from the show play in your head over and over and over and over again even without the actual song playing. And yes, Mr.A-Z, I had an awesome night! We all did! Your songs can't stop playing in my head for days! My only consolation is that, 2012 is not that long to wait. :) See you soon in Manila!

It was bound to happen. Yellow gold was a permanent fixture in every woman's jewelry box…up until white gold became all the rage. Yellow gold was considered rich, luxurious & opulent. It was set with every gem…it was adored. Then white gold made its debut and the world (for the most part) abandoned poor yellow gold and it was left neglected. 2013 forward found yellow gold, once again, an absolutely must have staple for every woman's wardrobe. We're not knocking white gold (don't get us wrong) we are just loving this super strong move back to yellow. Especially in fashion pieces (chains, right hand rings & earrings) these are our current favorites. Take one or two home before someone else snatches up your favorite 🙂
Yellow gold set with smoky quartz is the perfect mix of earth tones. We love how this necklace has a naturally organic edge to it. No sharp angles here…the diamonds virtually drip into a pool of sultry smoky topaz.
This super wide, high polished ring has a very slight wave to it. Wear either on your right hand ring or even middle finger. While you will want to adorn this daily (and you can!) you'll want to keep it polished which will mean committing to regular visits to @ Canadian Jewelry Exchange. But hey, that's not such a bad thing? 🙂
Yellow gold hoops are going to be essential. Fortunately there are multitudes to choose from. We appreciate that these have texture and funkiness to them. They are also a very versatile size so you can roll them right over from your work day to drinks with the girls on Friday night.
This super wide cuff is also extremely flexible….which means it's very comfy. With an edge of white gold this can easily be rocked with your current white gold rings. It just sort of ties the whole thing together. You still wear your favorite white gold or sterling silver rings but you also look oh so modern with yellow gold glimmering on your wrist.
This ring by Birks is amazing. I love the overlapping strands of rich 14K yellow gold. It has sort of an infinity/knot look to it. We think this would be amazing worn with dark navy, charcoal or black polish. Plus, best of all, it's so low maintenance! Smooth and easy peasy to wear. Yay!
These citrine dangle earrings are faceted all the way around the gem. This means that from absolutely every angle they catch the light and sparkle away. The shepherd hooks are comfortable and you don't have to worry about losing butterflies (where the heck do those things go anyway? Are they hanging out with the socks from the dryer?)
These are but a few of my personal favorites. Visit www.cjex.net today and find yours!!!

Content Management Systems
"The Spaceway Group has used Radikls for over 7 years in driving its business online. We have seen sales exceed £3 million from Internet enquiries and with its E-commerce site have seen in excess of £100k in just over one year. I would like to thank Radikls for their persistence in "pulling us along" to get us where we are today."
Malcolm Jeary,
Content Management Systems (CMS)
Content Management Systems or CMS, are software and database packages that will allow your organization to create and update its own web site, Intranet and or document content more easily.
Over the years CMS have become a more efficient and cost effective method of updating a web site, Intranet and or document content.
Depending on your companies size and purpose, and the kind of functionality you need from your Web site, Content Management can primarily cut out a large amount of the day-to-day manual work and data input such as coding of repetetive HTML, XML, copying and pasting of text from one document to another and other document preparation.
The benefits of CMS do not end there though. They can also add efficiency to your Management tasks such as maintaining schedules, sending version approvals, creating task lists and other activities.
Content Management Systems were originally built internally for companies who did a lot of content publishing. They have now developed into systems that are used for all kinds of purposes and companies and there are various open source systems that can be utilised.
Some examples are:

Este símbolo de abundância, paz e felicidade tem sido, desde sempre, feito e dado às mulheres a quem quer bem.
Guardo o meu ramo que é bonito todo o ano, até que outro o venha substituir.
From the south we have this tradition. Today, Ascension day, my mother went to the cornfields and picked olive tree leaves, golden and white daisies, red poppies and wheat.
It is a pagan/religious tradition where the olive tree leaves are the symbol of peace, the golden and the white daisies symbols of gold and silver, poppies the symbol of love and live and the wheat, the major food in south some years ago, the symbol of bread and abundance.
My mother makes bouquets for the women she loves. We keep ours all over the year till the new Ascension day.

Make a Marble Run!
If you're like most families with preschoolers, you probably have a lot of marbles around your house. With a few simple household items you can use marbles to teach your child about simple science concepts like gravity, speed, weight, and balance. Kids will love building their own marble run and experimenting with different designs and configurations. As an added bonus, they'll be practising essential fine motor skills!
What You Need:
- 4 empty cardboard paper towel rolls
- Scissors
- Ruler
- Pen
- Stickers, markers or crayons (optional)
- Tape (duct, packing or masking works best)
- Marbles
- Small toys that do not roll
- Blocks
What You Do:
- Prepare to connect your paper towel tubes by cutting out a small section on the end of three of the tube. Measure a 1½ inch by 1½ inch square. Show your child how to use the ruler and talk to her about how to measure.
- Cut out the square on the paper towel roll and recycle the scrap of cardboard.The empty space in the tube will allow a marble to pass through.
- Have your child decorate the paper towel rolls with stickers, markers or crayons. Using a glue stick to wrap colorful tissue paper around the tubes is another quick way to decorate them.
- When your child is finished decorating the tubes, show her how to put them together to make a simple marble run. Lay one paper towel roll in front of you with the cut out end on the right. Turn the tube so that the cut out square is on the top. Take another tube and place the end that doesn't have the cut out in the first tube. The tubes should overlap and form a 90 degree angle.
- Take the third tube and place the end without the cutout into the end of the second tube with the cutout square. Make a 90 degree angle with the tubes. You can either have the tubes make a backwards S or a U shape. You may need to turn the tube to get the cut out are on the correct side.
- Tape the tubes together so that the marbles will not escape from the tubes. Try to leave a little bit of slack in the tube so that the child can adjust the angle of the tubes.
- Ready to roll? Lay the tubes flat on the ground and put a marble in an open tube. Ask her if the marble moves and why she thinks that it stay still. Tell her that you are going to make a marble run so that the marble will move through the tubes.
- Have your child stack a tower of three blocks on the floor. It works best if she lays the blocks flat for stability. Show her how to put one end of the marble run on the top of the blocks. At the first joint in the marble run, have her place 2 blocks underneath and put the tube on the blocks. At the second joint in the marble run, have her place one block to support the tube on the blocks.
- Time to get rolling! Show her how to put a marble in the first tube and watch how it moves through the marble run.You and your child may have to experiment with the angle of the joints and the height of the blocks to get the marble to roll through successfully. Ask her why she thinks that the marble moved through the run that was on the blocks but the marble in the in flat tube did not move.
- Have her put a small square shaped toy (such as a Lego) in the first run and observe what happens. Ask he why she thinks that the toy did not move through the run like the marble did?
- Let your child experiment with different arrangements of blocks and types of toys. Have her place small toys in the tube and then try to run a marble through it. What happens? Why?
When you are done with the activity, put the marble run in a safe place. Bring it out another day for you and your child to play with again. You can also add more tubes to the run for a more extensive project.

The Rufus Roo beats budget airlines with no style and deep pockets
Avid readers! Why did you not tell us about the Rufus Roo jacket? You know the rules - we should be informed immediately about any product designed with the sole intention of pissing budget airlines off.
Every expense has been spared in producing the website and the promotional videos, and you're unlikely to wear it out to the shops unless you want to be sectioned, but the polyester jacket is capable of carrying up to 10kg of items - effectively doubling your carry-on weight allowance on Ryanair flights.
Would you look like a mentalist loose in an airport in order to save a few quid? The answer, of course, is yes.

- Scouse G.Great for shop lifting too - just wish it didn't come with red zips - too obvious for store detectives
- HamidPerfect if you like to be searched by airport security.
- DickThese or similar have been on MSE for months.
- Budgie S.Perfect for smuggling larger endangered species too
- thefunboiNow if you were a clever airline, you could simply add the followig into your T's & C's: Any outerwear removed once on board the aircraft must fit inside your cabin baggage allowance" etc etc. And before anybody says 'oh well just dont remove it then', imagine a four hour flight with a laptop in your pocket, or worse still, if you cant fit into your seat because your so overinflated, your made buy a second seat. In fact, SkyMarshall O'Leary, Im pretty good at this, can I have a job?
- SkyMarshall O.Dear thefunboi, Fuck off
- PokeHerPeteWhat are people on MSE doing going on holiday anyway? I thought they would be busy enough collecting bottles to return for a penny a pop and scavenging toenails to feed their family. Im all for getting good deals and getting a percentage off my online purchase I was gonna get anyway. But its this kind of shit cheapskate wankers on MSE and HUKD go mad for.
- Tweedskin@ PokeHerPete "But its this kind of shit cheapskate wankers on MSE and HUKD go mad for." May I draw your attention to exhibit A, found on the right hand side of this page....? "Welcome to Bitterwallet! Hopefully soon to be the best source for consumer hacks, tips & news from the trenches of the HotUKDeals community."
- DannyWas that the fashion police pulling up at 0:57?
- DickI hope the people he wants to do business with don't meet him at the airport. Arriving on a ryanair flight looking like a twat does not create a good impression. That said, it must be great fun accidently banging into people wearing these jackets. I might get one, just to fill it with billiard balls. Oh dear, there goes your laptop screen. Ooops, was that your camera lens that made that sound of breaking glass? Plus, if the weight is all up top, one careful blow at the knee-level and you could have them scrambling like a turtle on its back!
- anthonyHi interesting subject'' I travel a lot by air and have seen something similar witch is called a scotty vest in America. And only recently I've sheared a plane with someone from Amsterdam he had a coat with 14 pockets'' and could take up to 14 kg when I asked him to show it to me he produced what looked like a case yes a case or tote bag really'' the best part'' it's a coat when you check in and then transforms into a case with handles and all '' check it out if you don't believe me everybody has one in Belgium and Holland I'am thinking of getting one' it means that you don't have that hassle of looking stupid all the time' while waiting in the lounge its called jaktogo.com checkit out if you dont beleve me''
- DragonChris@ Anthony Good spot, very interesting. I personally won't buy one and don't need it, but I'll definitely keep it in mind for people who might do!
- BillyJeezus, What a pile of pish in that advert. I stopped looking after the twat stuck a laptop in his pocket. As far as I'm aware (or at least any airline I travel with) - laptops/books/cameras and many other items are not considered to be part of the hand luggage allowance, therefore there is no need to conceal.
- BillyRe my previous comment. Seems like Ryanair deem that if taking a laptop on board, then it must be placed within your carry on bag. I should have known they have covered all bases with regards to allowances and the possibility of extra charges. Mind you, when it comes to charging for usage of toilet facilities on board, I hope they have better staff than this shower. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/article.cfm?c_id=1&objectid=10735384
- PokeHerPete@anthony, that looks just like an advertisement @Tweedskin, yeah, I just wanted to have a pop
- Nim@Billy It's not just ryanair, easyjet have the same rule- everything has to fit into one piece of hand luggage, including handbags and laptop bags. I went on a flight last week and had to put it all into one bag. Although if you check in online (ie no airline checks before the gate) I found it useful to take a plastic bag from boots, and put some things into that. You're allowed one bag from duty free separate so as long as they think it has purchases it works.
- john h.I've read your piece on avoiding baggage charges ''and would like to inform you of another solution on the market that I don't think your aware off the jaktogo which I'm the owner of one and have being using it for a long time and can only say it's not only a coat but transforms into a Bag yes a Bag'' so you don't have to look stupid all the time '' check it out jaktogo.com
