The University Library has been at the heart of scholarship in Cambridge for over six hundred years. It is one of the great research libraries of the world, used by scholars from all corners of the globe. The Library's collections have been described in the national press as 'the most accessible collection of literary treasure on this side of the Atlantic'; 'walking around its mile on mile of� corridors, you know you are walking around the world mind.'
These collections, which now occupy over 160 kilometres of shelves, have been built up by a combination of donation and purchase, augmented over the last three-hundred years by the legal deposit privilege. In that time, the Library has acquired many individual items and collections of international significance, but few can match the importance of the purchase, in 2000, of the collection of scientific papers from the library of the Earl of Macclesfield.
The Macclesfield Collection was the most important and valuable collection of scientific papers still in private hands in Britain. It documents Sir Isaac Newton's writings and ideas, in letters and manuscripts, on gravitation, calculus, the Principia mathematica, optics, chemistry, comets and other subjects. Although widely known for his discovery of universal gravitation, Newton's scientific and intellectual interests were vast, and this range of creative thinking is reflected in these papers.
Since the 'scientific revolution' of the seventeenth century, in which Newton played such a key part, society has been more and more dominated by scientific and technological developments. It would be difficult to find a more striking and graphic illustration of the historical background to this scientific age than the Macclesfield Collection. The collection consists of around 500 manuscript notebooks and a further 500 or so unbound documents. Most of the letters are from the years of Newton's greatest creativity as a mathematician (1664-1672). Though many of the Newton materials have been published in some form, scholars still need to have access to the originals to verify doubtful points in the printed texts. Most of the rest of the collection is completely unknown to scholars, access to it having been restricted in the past. Its acquisition and the provision by the University Library of access to it will lead to new research and publication in this important area.
The collection was offered to the Library for �6,370,000, a price that reflected the extremely active market in scientific manuscripts and books. In July 2000, the Heritage Lottery Fund provided a grant of �4,790,000, representing 75% of the total purchase price, the maximum the Lottery can offer, but leaving the Library with �1,580,000 to find. Thanks to the generosity of many individuals and institutions, the appeal to raise the balance of the purchase price was spectacularly successful, and before the end of 2000 the Library was able to confirm its purchase of the collection.
The major donors to the appeal are listed elsewhere in this catalogue but I wish to record here our gratitude to all those who supported the campaign, not just those who so generously offered hundreds of thousands of pounds or dollars, but also to those of more moderate means who, nonetheless, believed that the campaign to save this collection was so important that they wanted to do their bit and who sent cheques for �20 or $20. All this support was important and we are very grateful to all who helped.
The career of Sir Isaac Newton (1642-1727) is closely linked with the University of Cambridge. He matriculated at Trinity College, Cambridge in 1661 and became a fellow of Trinity in 1667, occupying the rooms to the north of the Great Gate. He was Lucasian Professor of Mathematics
in the University from 1669 to 1701 (the position currently held by Professor Stephen Hawking), and Member of Parliament for the University in 1689-1690 and 1701-1702.
Even before the acquisition of the Macclesfield Collection, Cambridge University Library held by far the most extensive and important group of his scientific papers, chiefly in the Portsmouth Collection, which had been presented to the Library by the fifth Earl of Portsmouth in 1872. The Library also holds manuscripts of Newton's lectures as Lucasian Professor, as well as records of his Cambridge career. There are other smaller collections of Newton's scientific papers in British institutions (notably in the libraries of King's College, Trinity College and the Fitzwilliam Museum in Cambridge, the British Library, the Bodleian Library in Oxford, and the Royal Society) as well as collections of his papers on alchemy, chronology, theology, and other subjects, in various British and foreign libraries.
The Macclesfield and Portsmouth Collections are closely interrelated. Material on some topics, such as the dispute with Leibniz over priority in the invention of the infinitesimal calculus, is spread over both collections and, in some cases, replies to letters in one are to be found in the other. For instance, each collection has correspondence between Newton and John Collins and between Newton and Henry Oldenburg - the Portsmouth Collection contains a letter from Collins to Newton dated 2 July 1672 and the Macclesfield Collection has Newton's replies dated 6 and 8 July. The correspondence of John Flamsteed, Astronomer Royal, in the Macclesfield Collection, complements his correspondence in the Royal Greenwich Observatory Archives, also housed in the University Library.
The acquisition by the University Library of the Macclesfield Collection means that two major sections of the Isaac Newton archive, separated following his death, are now reunited in Cambridge for the benefit of scholars and the public. This important purchase provided the stimulus for this exhibition, celebrating one of Cambridge's greatest minds and the man described as the father of modern mathematics. The exhibition has been devised by Scott Mandelbrote, Newton scholar and fellow of Peterhouse, Cambridge. It draws not just on the Portsmouth and Macclesfield collections but on other parts of the University Library's extensive holdings of scientific material, as well as on collections elsewhere in Cambridge and further afield. Our thanks are due to those institutions which have kindly lent material.
The exhibition is the eighth to be held in the University Library's Exhibition Centre, which was opened in 1998 to provide a wider public than can normally be admitted to the reading rooms with the opportunity of seeing some of the treasures housed within the Library's walls. After the opening exhibition, 'The Great Collections', which was accompanied by a lavishly illustrated book,1 the series of displays that followed has shown something of the range of the Library's collections, covering such diverse topics as Oliver Cromwell, post-war Germany, maps of Australia, 'time', children's books, and the Armistice. It is fitting that the Library is able to celebrate the acquisition of such a major collection, acquired with the support of the Heritage Lottery Fund, in an exhibition centre, the creation of which was also partly supported by the same fund.

Musings & Observations / Barry Halpin
Sitting in my studio with a bowl of chicken noodle soup -- a big hug in a bowl -- and sharpening another batch of jasmine-and-rose scented Love Arrows while singing along with my favorite Beatles' song, "All You Need Is Love" ("Something" is a close second), I began thinking about Valentine's Day and the love vibe in Fairfield County.
I realize that the Dow Jones love index is in a freefall and it troubles me greatly. As you know, I'm winged because lovers are flighty and likely to change their minds, and boyish because love is foolish and irrational. Je sais amour est difficile -- I love speaking a little French as it's such a romantic language -- and filled with lots of heartbreak.
That may scare some of you away from looking for love and a committed relationship, settling instead for hookups and hanging out. I realize that in today's world there's a lot of confusion as to what differentiates a date from hanging out and that certainly doesn't help matters. Still, I suggest that you face up to your fear because as the Fab Four sang, "love is all your need."
Valentine's Day is the perfect time to start up the torrid romance you've been thinking about with that hunk in your health club or that girl with the beautiful blue eyes in your English lit class or even that funny guy in the office who's always borrowing pens and paper clips.
What really depresses me on Valentine's Day -- yes, this may come as a shock, but even Cupid gets depressed once in a while -- is to still see men do the flowers, box-of-candy, peck-on-the-cheek, sorry-I'm-home-late-from-the-office shuffle. C'mon, lads; that's old and so unimaginative. Do you think that's going to make that special someone feel very special? I understand that neurologically speaking, men have less brain space available for romantic thoughts, but that is no excuse.
Why not surprise the love of your life by taking off work early, giving her a big smooch and telling her how beautiful she is upon arriving home, and tangoing her across the floor and out the door into a waiting limousine? Then it's off to that chic French bistro she's been pestering you to take her to for a couple of years.
Ladies, if that loveable lug is going to do all that, it's definitely time to search out that skirt with the daring slit. I know it's been relegated to the back of your closet just begging to be worn on such an occasion. An occasion I trust that will remind you of those early days of courtship and why you fell madly in love with each other.
With all my responsibilities, I've been lax in keeping up with my love advice column but here's a letter from a true love seeker and my response that I'd like to share.
Dear Cupid:
I'm a Type-A investment banker who's had horrible luck with relationships. My friends will tell you that I go looking for love in all the wrong places. Now, I'm on the verge of getting married to a folk musician I met in the relationships aisle at Barnes & Noble. We both reached for the same copy of Dr. Phil's "Love Smart: Find the One You Want-Fix the One You Got." His gorgeous smile and perfect rock 'n' roll hair made my heart skip a beat.
My friends love his rugged good looks and his incredibly melodic and wistful songs. But for me it's really weird. I can't believe I'm in love with a guy who can't tell a stock portfolio from a Monopoly board and can't appreciate the supreme joy one gets from driving a red Ferrari around scenic Fairfield County.
He's also incredibly awkward in the social situations I thrive in; he prefers hearing live music at Stage One in Fairfield or a quiet evening at home listening to Bob Dylan, Pete Seeger, Lucinda Williams or Mumford and Sons.
I'm more in love with him than all those self-absorbed jerks I use to date. I know opposites attract but honestly, does this marriage stand any chance of surviving in a world where a disagreement over whose turn it is to pick the sushi restaurant can lead to divorce?
Wants It All
Dear Wants It All:
One of the more difficult things in the world besides finding a truthful personal ad and making the perfect lobster mac and cheese is living harmoniously with another human being. We all seem to want to have it our way -- because our way is obviously the best way -- and eventually that leads to the marital resentment tango where the things that you once loved in one another are what you now hate about each other. I think it's kismet that you met reaching for that Dr. Phil book. So stop worrying and get love smart.
Happy Valentine's Day to one and all.

Dr. Robert Sessions
Memorial services for ?Dr. Bob? - Robert T. Sessions, MD - will be held on Dec. 12, 2009, at 2 p.m.: Marietta Cemetery, 395 Powder Springs St. in Marietta and at 3 p.m.: First United Methodist Church, 56 Whitlock Ave.
Depending on whom you ask, Dr. Robert Thomas Sessions will be remembered as a circuit riding country doctor who made house calls and accepted chickens and vegetables in exchange for his services, as an innovative cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon who opened Kennestone Hospital?s first Intensive Care Unit and the Southeast USA?s first Cardiac Intensive Care Unit, as an unofficial ?Doctor without Borders? who dug wells and ran health clinics in India and saw patients in Yemen, as an accomplished mountaineer with more than 30 ascents of Colorado?s Long?s Peak to his credit, as a self-taught restorer of vintage automobiles, as a furniture craftsman, surgical equipment inventor, high school championship golfer, Bible studies teacher, Contra dance enthusiast, bird watcher, squirrel foe, clinical researcher, state-appointed medical malpractice investigator, expert horseman and dedicated practical joker.
Dr. Sessions died on Nov. 12 at the age of 79 from complications secondary to a broken hip.
As one of the few oncology-trained thoracic and cardiovascular surgeons in the region, Dr. Bob?s patients came from all over North Georgia. Known locally as the ?breathing doctor,? he kept up a life-long correspondence with his far flung patients and, black bag in hand, would drive into the mountains to see them after age and infirmity made it difficult for them to continue making the trip to Marietta. He also acted as a de facto circuit-riding general surgeon, regularly making the rounds of North Georgia hospitals that were too small to support a surgeon of their own.
Family was very important to Dr. Sessions and formed a cornerstone of his medical approach. He was obsessive about being available to patients around the clock and never allowed a lack of money to stand in the way of ensuring that the family members of hospitalized patients had a place to stay in Marietta ? occasionally even going so far as to bully the Kennestone administration into providing room and food in the hospital itself for out-of-town family he felt needed to be immediately available.
Dr. Sessions is survived by his daughters, Kimbi Hagen, Melissa Bothwell and Jean Wilund; and by his son Rob Sessions. In addition to his children, Dr. Bob?s family includes his wife, Jean (deceased); four sons- and daughter-in law, Karl Hagen, Kathy Wolf Sessions, Jim Bothwell (deceased) and Larry Wilund; six grandchildren, Katelyn and Kristy Sessions, Hannah Brooke Bothwell, and Bobby, Brittany and Carolyn Wilund; two brothers, Dr. Don Sessions, St. Louis, and Dr. David Lee Sessions, Portland, Or.; and one sister, Melissa English (deceased); 15 nieces and nephews; two society finches (Falcon 1 and Falcon 2), and hundreds of friends, colleagues and former patients.
His children ask that all of those whom Dr. Bob?s life has touched congregate with them on Saturday, Dec. 12 to celebrate a life well lived and a father, physician, humanitarian and friend well loved.
Memorial Gifts: Dr. Sessions? perspective on life was shaped in his boyhood by the view he gained from the summit of the Rocky Mountains. Because of this the family asks that memorial gifts be directed to the John Austin Cheley Foundation (c/o Treasurer, PO Box 934986, Atlanta, Ga. 31193-4683) to help fund ?camperships? to Cheley Colorado Camps in order to give other young boys and girls an opportunity to climb as high and see as far.
Katherine Kent
Katherine Kent, age 66 of Cumming died Friday, Dec. 4, 2009 at St. Joseph?s Hospital following a period of declining health.
Born Sept. 17, 1943 to the late Ferman and Lula Belle Kent, she lived most of her life in Dawson County. Katherine retired from Wal-Mart in Cumming after 25 years of service and was a member of Corinth Baptist Church. She was also preceded in death by a brother, Jack W. Kent.
Surviving are her children, Michael S. and June Bozeman, Gainesville, Valerie and Todd Binning, Cumming, Vanessa and Jim Williams, Lebanon, Tn., Gayle Beebe, Janice and Danny Harben and Debbie Rowell, all of Dawsonville, Sherri and Bob Kelly, Dacula; sister and brother-in-law, Marie and J.M.

Sequoia Capital Meeting
- SAP customers faced difficulty financing upfront license fees. On-demand customers, on the other hand, pay for their solution as they use it. They don�t need to finance a big up-front investment in a monolithic solution with an uncertain business benefit.
- SAP customers balked at difficult-to-justify maintenance fees. On-demand customers, on the other hand, know what they are paying for � they see continual enhancements to their solutions without expensive upgrades or patches.
- SAP only learned of this in the final days of the quarter. On-demand customers, on the other hand, don�t need to engage in the edge-of-the-cliff negotiations with their technology vendors at the end of the quarter. These vendors know that they will only keep their customers for as long as they are able to create value, and need to be working every day to keep their customers happy.
The average company spends 4-6% of revenue on IT-- for a customer at $1B in revenue, that is $40M - 60M in annual IT expense. Organizations that 'cloud-source' their IT infrastructure to on-demand providers can reduce this to 2-3%... a 50% reduction. This model provides cash critical in a down economy, and also provides executives flexibility and innovation that on-premise vendors cannot.

Bumpers & Related - Front & Rear at 1A Auto
What are automotive bumpers and where are they located?
The bumpers play a minor role in your vehicle's safety and a major role in its cosmetic curb appeal. The bumpers are found at the very front and very rear of your car or truck. They are engineered to absorb minor impacts and designed to give your vehicle its own particular look.
Bumpers absorb impact in collisions below five miles per hour—parking lot speeds essentially. They protect your automobile's headlights and tail lights, the radiator, and other nearby parts from being damaged. That allows minor fender benders to remain minor, by keeping you from having to make various repairs just because you backed into the neighbors' mailbox. The bumpers also, of course, give your vehicle its distinctive look, by adorning the front and rear of the body.
Bumpers have changed a lot over automotive history. Older bumpers were chrome plated metal pieces mounted to the front of the frame with brackets. In the early 1970s, federal regulations mandated changes in bumper design. Urethane bumpers started to become more common. These plastic bumpers or fascias are usually reinforced with metal supports and a section of Styrofoam known as an impact absorber. Most cars and light trucks today use urethane bumpers, although many trucks do continue to have metal bumpers.
How do I know if my front or rear bumper needs to be replaced?
If you bump into things, then you may do some damage to your front or rear bumpers. It's the bumper's job to absorb these little impacts, which means it can often come away a little worse for wear. Bumpers can get scratched, dinged up, or even dented by sticks, stones, and other road debris. Metal bumpers can also corrode and rust.
Buckling or large dents in the bumper are a good sign that you should replace your bumper. For minor scratches and dings, you may choose to ignore them or to repair them. Often though, replacing an entire bumper cover can be easier than fixing a damaged one.
Can I replace a front or rear bumper myself?
Even a novice do-it-yourselfer can replace a front or rear bumper. An assistant can be a big help on this repair, though. That's not because it's complicated, but just because bumpers are so big and unwieldy—they are, after all, about as wide as your car or truck.
Your bumpers are probably the easiest parts to access on your entire vehicle, but not necessarily the easiest to remove. To remove a bumper cover, you'll just have to remove all the fasteners that hold it to the body. These may be screws, bolts, or plastic clips. There may be fasteners inside the wheel wells or, in the case of rear bumper covers, inside the trunk. You will want to have your assistant hold the bumper cover as you remove the fasteners so that it doesn't fall down. Alternatively, you could support the bumper cover with a floor jack and let it down slowly. Disconnect any wiring running to lights in the bumper (parking lights or fog lights, for example). You'll then have to remove any lights or other accessories connected to the bumper cover. Mount them into the replacement bumper cover and install the replacement bumper cover by reversing the removal procedure.
Removing a metal bumper or the bumper structure behind a plastic bumper cover is pretty similar. Remove the fasteners from the bumper braces, have your assistant help you pull it off or use a floor jack, and install the new one. You will, of course, have to remove the bumper cover before removing the bumper structure behind it.
Need a replacement bumper or other bumper parts for your car or truck?
Has your front or rear bumper—or both—seen better days? Are you tired of the lackluster front end on your car or truck? Or perhaps some of your other bumper parts, like end caps, bellows, braces, impact strips, etc., need to replaced? If so then you have come to the right place!

Perhaps the reporters gathered at the TCA press tour were a bit afraid of former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson. When he and director Spike Lee took the stage to discuss their new project, there was barely a response.
"Usually when a heavyweight champion is introduced, there is at least a clap," Lee scolded, sparking a bit of tepid applause.
But Tyson didn't seem to mind, joking with the crowd: "Don't get too close. I may bite you, as you know."

The boxer and the fiery director have teamed up to bring Tyson's acclaimed one-man show "Mike Tyson: Undisputed Truth" to HBO. The show played on Broadway and toured nationally.
"Undisputed Truth" features Tyson opening up about his troubled youth, landmark boxing career, personal struggles, time in prison and new beginnings. The HBO show was recorded on Broadway last week and is scheduled to debut this year.
Lee heaped praise on the fighter's performance skills and his comfort in front of an audience: "This is not some willy-nilly stiff. This is a script. This is legit."
He added, "Mike Tyson is the most honest human being I know. Most people are not going to talk about their deep dark past and their demons. It's the most courageous thing. I couldn't do it. Most people couldn't do it."
Tyson compared performing his show to boxing: "I feel the energy of the crowd like a prizefight.... It's like fighting. I want to kill everyone in the room with my performance."
Asked what was the difference between boxing and performing, he quipped, "I don't have to go to the hospital after a performance."

Talking about "origins" in Pakistan
The talk at Karachi was a totally different experience. First of all, the Karachi talk was part of Science ka Adda (Karachi's version of Cafe Scientifique) and was held at a coffee shop (The Second Floor) that also acts as a base for non-profit work (PeaceNiche), holds regular screening of documentaries (it showed God on the Brain recently), provides space for art exhibitions, and even hosts small concerts (check out glimpses of T2F). So indeed, I was very excited to give a public lecture there (Thanks Sabeen for organizing it).
The focus of questions here was more on science and religion conflict (or at least on the possibility of conflict). The point of my talk was that Big Bang, evolution, origin of life questions etc. are descriptions of physical phenomena irrespective of one's belief. The question of the ultimate origins (First Cause) is dependent on faith - whether one believes that physical laws have been put in place by God or by no one (also a faith statement). However, we should always seek natural causes when seeking an explanation for all physical events (methodological naturalism). Many of the questions were accurately focused on the boundary between known and unknown and how to approach science when we get to that point - and what to do when religion comes in conflict with known explanations for science. A few people raised strong objections to evolution (with the usual - that "it is only a theory"), but the over all discourse remained very civil and productive (as can be seen from the post Q&A discussions on the right - picture from T2F).
But the main point is that we can talk and discuss in public these sensitive topics in Pakistan (ok - at least at universities and coffee shops). Not everyone will agree with the conclusions - but a dialogue about these topics is crucial.
14 comments:
It was indeed a nice lecture. I really liked the details you presented about Big Bang and that Super Turtle concept was great. I hope we would see you more often whenever you visit Pakistan again.
- Nizam said...
Hey Salman, I'm glad to hear your trip is going smoothly and that your talks were well-received ... was there any audio or video recording?
- Salman Hameed said...
Thanks Atif and I will try to give a talk at T2F and QAU again on my next visit also.
Nizam - yes, it was being recorded. I will let you know if they put it online.
Hi Salman,
The presentation was great! would like to see more of these so please keep coming back here :)
Hey, where can we find the Saturn picture you showed in your presentation? I would like to make it my desktop wallpaper, just to keep things in perspective :)
- Ali Kazim Gardezi said...
Hello Salman Sb,
Its good to know that the lectures were well recieved. I wonder if we can get to see these lectures on youtube or vidpk (paki version of youtube)? I really miss these...
I totaly agree w you, that we should discuss n debate such topics. Only then we would b able to bring positive change in people 's thinking towards evolution n origin.
- Salman Hameed said...
The Saturn image can be found at:
In fact, I would suggest you bookmark "Astronomy Picture of the Day" any way. :)
Ali: I will let you know when its online. Here is a story from The News covering the lecture:
- Hira Hanif said...
It was a great gathering all together. I loved the former part of the presentation but I do think that Hameed spoke less about the topic itself saying that merging religion and science together wouldn't be a cool idea.
As for evolution, I can't digest the statement that we were evolved from a pair of apes and developed into such tremendously 'refined' creatures like human beings. Not using any bloody religion, it just doesn't match how my brain works. Plus, what could be the answer to the 'undeveloped' generation of apes that is around us? The match of DNA is a good statement so to sound but basing that to be the descent of the human race - not so cool.
Plus, saying that the theory of evolution is taken as valid as the theory of gravity is illogical too because there are certainly many disagreements given out by scientists against the theory of evolution. There might be some given against that of gravity as well but at least as Hameed said it's 99.99999% 'taken' valid, which isn't so in the case of the theory of evolution.
- Hira Hanif said...
PS. That comes from the girl who continually called you "professor" and asked ridiculous deal of questions.
- Umair said...
ah..people really missed you here at Lahore this time :( Anyways, it was nice meeting you at Islamabad though.
- Umair said...
Hira, we did not evolve from apes; infact we (apes and human) had a common ancestor probably 8 million years ago.
For millions of years, many branches of homonids evolved; only one is surviving today.
I talked in reference to the theory of evolution in which ape's DNA is given as a rationale for it being the medium of human evolution. Apes and us thus having a common ancestor is very apparent.
- Salman Hameed said...
Not using any bloody religion, it just doesn't match how my brain works.
Hira - Oh sure. There are many things that are difficult to comprehend - for example the incredible age of the universe (13.7 billion years) or even the age of the Earth (4.5 billion years). As humans, we have a really hard time to fathom this really long passage of time. But we know from various means that this is indeed the case (yes, we really know the age of the Earth to a high degree of accuracy). This is the descriptive process - independent of whether one likes it or not.
In the same way, evolution simply explains the diversity of life on Earth - irrespective of whether one likes the idea of being related to jelly fish or not. For me, it is absolutely phenomenal that simple life forms can produce such enormous diversity (given 4.5 billion years!!), including humans, and that we have an intimate connection with all other beings on the planet (the star fish, the zebra, the whale - not directly - but we share a common ancestor long time back).
Plus, what could be the answer to the 'undeveloped' generation of apes that is around us?
As Umair pointed out, we did not descent from apes (or monkeys) as is usually portrayed. We had a common ancestor 8-9 million years ago. Some apes are not "underdeveloped" at all. Remember evolution is not a ladder with humans on top. Evolution is better visualized as a branching tree with humans on one branch, apes on another. Jelly fish also occupy another branch - but they are further away from us than the apes.
- Xoff said...
Look forward to your next talk.
I haven't been able to find where Islam stands on evolution, is it a similar stance to the one taken by the Christian creationists?
I was wondering if you could point me in the right direction?
Thank you and keep up the good work

Ruins of the Frauenkirche, 1957
from: Firestorm – The Bombing of Dresden, 1945; Addison and Crang; 2006; Pimlico.
The Frauenkirche was rebuilt … and this work was completed in 2005, completely financed with donations.
See all the darker stones on the church? Those are stones that were recovered after the war. When the church was reconstructed, those bricks were put in their prior positions. The darker stones aren't dark just because they were burned, but also because that is the way this type of stone ages.
The cool thing is that maybe in 400 years or something, this whole church will be black. Think of it as a healing wound, rather than a scar.

European Commission
Brussels, 8 October 2012
Taxation: Questions and Answers on reduced VAT rates
What EU rules are in place for VAT rates?
Under the EU VAT Directive, Member States must apply a standard VAT rate of no less than 15% to the vast majority of goods and services. Member States also have the option of applying one or two reduced rates (of no less than 5%) to a restricted list of goods and services. This list of eligible goods and services is annexed to the Directive and must be strictly respected i.e. Member States cannot interpret it flexibly.
Some examples of goods and services eligible for a lower rate include: foodstuffs, medicines, medical equipment for the disabled, books on all physical means of support, newspapers, periodicals, passenger transport, admission to shows, theatres, museums, etc.
In addition, there is a multitude of derogations on the application of zero rates, super-reduced rates (lower than 5%), and reduced rates for products or services not usually eligible. Some of these derogations were granted during the negotiations in Council or as part of an Accession process. Other particular derogations are included in specific articles of the VAT Directive, such as the possibility to apply a reduced rate to the supply of natural gas, electricity or district heating in certain circumstances.
Why is a review of reduced VAT rates necessary?
The fundamental idea behind VAT is to have a broad-based, universally applied consumption tax. VAT is recognised to be one of the most growth-friendly types of taxes, and is an important source of income for national budgets (accounting for around 20% of all revenues). However, the wide-scale use of reduced rates by Member States has chipped away at their tax bases. Limiting the use of reduced VAT rates and exemptions could provide Member States with important new revenue, without having to increase the standard VAT rate. Studies show that the standard rate could actually be reduced by up to 7.5 percentage points, in some cases, if all reduced rates were to be removed.
In addition, the divergent approach to reduced rates across the Member States has created complexity for EU businesses. They are currently faced with a large number of different rates across the Single Market, rather than a relatively harmonised system as was envisaged originally.
An economic evaluation carried out by the Commission also confirmed that the use of reduced rates is often not the most suitable instrument for pursuing policy objectives, particularly for ensuring redistribution to poor households or encouraging the consumption of a good that is deemed socially desirable. In fact, the existing application of reduced rates translates into significant subsidies for businesses, without consumers feeling the benefits of lower final prices. Moreover, certain reduced rates appear now to contradict wider EU objectives, such as energy efficiency and climate change.
Finally, new questions have arisen that didn't exist when the rules and list of eligible goods and services for reduced rates were implemented. For example, fast-paced technological developments have led to questions such as whether digital and non-digital products, which serve similar purposes, should be taxed in the same way.
For all these reasons, and as part of the work to make the EU VAT system simpler, more efficient and more robust, the Commission feels that a fundamental review of the reduced VAT rates applied across the EU must be carried out.
How is the Commission conducting the review of reduced VAT rates?
In the Communication on the future of VAT (VAT Strategy) last December, the Commission set out the following guiding principles for a review of reduced VAT rates:
These principles are now being used to guide an assessment of reduced rates, which the Commission is conducting in close cooperation with businesses and other stakeholders. The public consultation launched today is part of that assessment. It focuses its questions strictly on the 3 criteria laid down, in order to ensure well-targeted and relevant feedback.
The results of this consultation, along with a number of further studies that will be carried out as part of the impact assessment, will feed into new proposals on reduced VAT rates, which the Commission will table next year.
Does the Commission plan to abolish some or all reduced VAT rates?
This consultation is part of the assessment process, and does not pre-suppose the elimination of any particular reduced rate at this stage. The Commission will only make proposals on the possible abolition or introduction of certain reduced rates next year, once it has completed its thorough review and gathered extensive feedback. Moreover, it should be remembered that even if the Commission were to propose getting rid of one reduced VAT rate or another, this would have to be unanimously endorsed by Member States before it could happen. So the review of reduced rates will be a holistic and very inclusive one.
The full list of reduced VAT rates applied in each Member State can be found here: (table of rates)

Jolt Awards: The Best Testing Tools, May 21, 2013 The best testing tools of the past year
Productivity Award: Telerik TestStudio
Telerik Test Studio is a modern and comprehensive Windows-based testing one-stop shop. It covers all testing needs and diverse approaches to testing. With it, you can create, manage, and execute manual tests, load tests, Web testing, and Web performance tests all of which you can display in a visual editor or have Test Studio partially generate.
Its scope includes WPF applications, Web applications (functional and load tests), and Silverlight applications. Telerik Test Studio is a standalone product with a very slick UI for dedicated QA personnel, but it also offers a strong integration with Visual Studio for developers (as a plugin). The test recording functionality, combined with tools like the DOM explorer and Element explorer, provides ultimate control over complicated workflows in a friendly user interface. Telerik Test Studio is very impressive, but it still can improve in some areas, such as support for testing headless APIs that just return JSON, and more streamlined handling of AJAX-based Web applications. Overall, however, Telerik Test Studio is an excellent tool for teams that focus on high quality on the Windows platform.

You are currently browsing the tag archive for the 'Screen Actors Guild Awards' tag.
I wasn't even planning to care about the Screen Actors Guild Awards (SAG is such a depressing acronym), but then I saw Jennifer Carpenter in this dress.
Love this dress. Love it. Love her hair, too. Love that the shoes are staying out of it. A fan.
So now I have to ask: What's up with her and Michael C. Hall? I have a history of caring too much about this couple and I've tried to be good but I'm afraid I've been sucked back in.
I believe the "Dexter" couple's divorce was finalized in December, but I read that they were out on a candlelit date and even kissed — and "the next morning" they were spotted having coffee. That was maybe two weeks ago.
I also saw this blind item via BlindGossip.com:
"Which Golden Globe-winning TV star's short-lived marriage ended because he couldn't curb his sex add*ction? The twice-married hunk was attending 12-step meetings to cure his cravings, but when he relapsed, his actress wife told him to hit the road!"
Everyone thinks that's MCH. So is he a sex addict? Is that his marriage issue? Both times? Are he and Jennifer trying again anyway? What is the deal? And how can I stop caring? Is there a 12-step program for me?
The Golden Globe Awards are a joke. I always think of that show as 5 guys in a basement swooning over their favorite celebs (which is how things like "The Tourist" get nominated.) It's fun, but you can't take it seriously.
The Screen Actors Guild, on the other hand, is made up of just about every working actor imaginable — from A-list to Z-list. So I take it a bit more seriously. But not half as seriously as they take it, with all the self-congratulatory "And I'm an actor!" horseshite.
The fashions reflect that, too. We're seeing some serious "try" happening at the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards — and I don't just mean Angie Harmon trying to steal the show by marrying herself in that huge dress.
Some stars are using this opportunity to experiment and I appreciate the effort, even if several young ladies seemed to miss the DON'T CLASH WITH THE RED CARPET memo. Other stars (Lea Michele!) have either given up or don't think the SAG Awards are worth their A-game.
Saving the best for the Oscars?
I don't really care too much about "Glee," but the "Glee" crowd is all over the SAGs. I love what Dianna Agron and Amber Riley are doing … and not much else. Dianna kinda reminds me of Emma Roberts in this look, for some reason. The eyes?
See. This is how you get noticed. Ariel Winter is the younger of the two "Modern Family" sisters and she usually gets overshadowed. Not tonight. She keeps it sweet and understated and perfect for her age. Her on-screen sister didn't get the same memo.
Thank God. I didn't like how Julianna Margulies looked at the Golden Globes and ever since someone said I looked like her (about 15 years ago) I've always tied my fortunes to her. She looks gorgeous here (and nothing like me, which is the best compliment I could give her). And I've just started watching "The Good Wife," which is pretty darn good even if I'm upset that she's winning awards over my "Mad Men" family.
As long as Sofia Vergara wears a tight, bright dress with her boobs popping out, she'll make the best dressed list.
This is much, much better than what Natalie Portman wore to the Golden Globes. That red flower? So tacky. This is classy.
It's always news when Helena Bonham Carter doesn't pull a Bjork. I love her either way, but it's nice to see she doesn't just overdo it for shock value. Sometimes she does do understated — and she does it well.
Lots of white tonight. I like it. I like Amy Adams here. I don't care for her too much in "The Figher" but at least she doesn't go as over-the-top as Melissa Leo. Stop rewarding her for that Boston cliche.
I can't really decide if this is a good one or not. I love the color, but I'm not sure it's flattering to Naya Rivera's shape … or lack thereof. Maybe it's just a bad angle. I found a lot of bad angle photos online.
This just makes me smile. Angie Harmon is DYING to get on the LOOK AT ME list with this one. She's hosting her own personal Oscars here. Jennifer Lopez would appreciate the cheek. I appreciate it, too. Someone has to go over the top!
I'm rooting for Winona Ryder, so I'm glad to see this. I like it. I don't love it, but I like it a lot. Good for her.
I like Julia Stiles and I don't believe she did break up Michael C. Hall and Jennifer Carpenter. Speaking of MCH, he looks like crap tonight. Is he feeling OK? Now I'm worried.
I'm getting annoyed with Melissa Leo. I think she's being overpraised for an over-the-top performance in the overrated "The Fighter" and now she's wearing some Saran Wrap. She looks pregnant in this shot. Just a bad angle? Even if it is, it's way too much shiny silver.
Which fashion sin is worse: Too much fabric or too little? Check out this dress worn by the otherwise lovely Kate Flannery of "The Office" and discuss.
Maybe if I had a different posed shot of Jenna Fischer's dress it wouldn't seem so bad. But right now it's just so dull.
What the hell is going on with Paz de la Huerta?
I really like Jayma Mays so I looked at this dress from several angles before deciding I just don't like it. I hate the way it bunches in the chest and of course I'm never into blush/peach/nude type non-colors. I don't like the knee peek. I don't like the high neck. The shoes are OK.
Who is this and what happened to the fashion-forward Lea Michele? And where did her left boob go?
I ADORE Hailee Steinfeld of "True Grit" and I applaud the way she's experimenting with colors and patterns in public like this. But she looks like the Dunkin Donuts logo and she clashes with the carpet. Side note: How tall is she? In photos it looks like she dwarfs everyone else.
I really, really like Sarah Hyland's dress but I really, really hate how it clashes with the red carpet. Always check the carpet color before showing up. The photos we see tend to come from the (in this case red) carpet, not the audience or even the podium. Dress for the carpet, I say.
I don't know. Maybe it's because I don't like this against the red carpet. It just seems messy and she looks pissed. Is Mila Kunis a diva or does she just play one in front of the camera?
I don't really have a problem with this dress, I'm just distracted by the thinness of Ellie Kemper. It's all I can see.

By now, anyone who tracks the precious-metals market knows that physical demand for gold has jumped in the wake of the plunge in gold prices last month, but physical demand for silver has shown an impressive increase as well -- just as the U.S. Mint gets ready to start selling its latest five-ounce silver bullion coin on Monday.
Year to date, the U.S. Mint has sold more than 19 million one-ounce American Eagle silver bullion coins. For the four months ended in May last year, they sold about 14.5 million.
Anthem Blanchard, chief executive officer of Anthem Vault, a physical gold and silver bullion dealer, said that so far in May his company's "physical silver sales to clients are currently outpacing physical gold sales by a large margin."
"When large price movements occur that spur a rapid increase in physical buying -- such as was triggered by the recent 10-15% dip in gold and silver prices -- physical silver supplies become more difficult to obtain than physical gold as there is less above ground supply of physical silver than there is of physical gold," said Blanchard. "This has caused more scarcity of silver bullion than gold bullion in the physical spot market."
In a memo to authorized purchasers on Wednesday, the U.S. Mint said it will "allocate" the initial release of the 2013 America the Beautiful five-ounce silver bullion coin White Mountain National Forest. The coin, which is part of a multi-year release that began in 2010, goes on sale Monday.
"With demand for silver in the market continuing to be high," said Michael White, a spokesman for the Mint, told MarketWatch, the allocation will "ensure an equitable distribution based on our long standing policy. The United States Mint does not set initial mintage limits for the bullion coins, but produces an initial production run and then monitors demand and manufactures more coins to respond to that demand."
Here's how the Mint describes the allocation process in its memo:
The allocation formula will mirror the formula that we use for silver Eagles, as follows:
• Each Monday morning, the inventory available for sale that week will be divided into two equal pools.
• The first pool will be allocated equally to all active Authorized Purchasers (APs).
• The second pool will be allocated based on each AP's sales performance of 2011 and 2012 dated America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coins.
• Each AP will be advised via fax Monday morning (or if a Government Holiday, Tuesday morning) of their allocation, and they will have until 3:00 p.m. Friday to place orders for their allocated coins.
• Any unordered coins after 3:00 p.m. Friday will be put back into the pool for allocation the following Monday.
The allocation process will remain in place until demand for the 2013 America the Beautiful Five Ounce Silver Bullion Coin - White Mountain National Forest can be met.
David Beahm, executive vice president at precious-metals investment firm Blanchard & Co., said that basically means that anyone who is an authorized purchaser from the Mint will have access to another addition of these five-ounce coins.
But Beahm said his clients would much rather invest in the one-ounce silver coins, or 10-ounce, 100-ounce, or 1,000-ounce silver bars.
Besides, Anthem Vault's Blanchard pointed out that the five-ounce silver coin is currently priced at $179.95 per coin, or $35.99 an ounce, representing about a 40% markup over its bullion content. Given that, he'd consider it a "semi-numismatic" coins rather than a bullion coins -- meaning that somewhere between 15% and 50% of a coin's value is due to factors other than the coin's metal content.

Fiscal Stimulus Questions Force Abe's Hand
As uncertainty over Japan's fiscal stimulus roiled the yen and domestic equities, Prime Minister Abe was forced to announce his fiscal intentions earlier than he initially intended. The JPY27 trillion (~$265 bln) package.
The details are far from clear, which may help explain why the dollar is in the middle of the two yen range (~JPY104.65-JPY106.55). Note the high for the week was set on Monday near JPY106.70. An unspecified part of the spending will be included in fall supplemental budget, which Japan regularly introduces.

Loango Chimpanzee Project
Directed by Tobias Deschner and Simone Pika
The Loango Chimpanzee Project was founded in 2005 and currently focuses on gaining a better understanding of the behavioural diversity and complexity of chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes troglodytes) of the Rekambo community living in a very unique environment in the Loango National Park in Gabon.
The Loango National Park consists of a mosaic of different habitat types varying from marine, coastal lagoons, mangrove swamps, coastal forest, secondary and primary forest and open savannah. It is ecologically very distinctive from other long-term chimpanzee sites thereby providing us with the rare opportunity to enable unique insights into chimpanzees' behavioural plasticity.
Currently, research teams are able to track and follow all adult males and some adult females of the Rekambo community from early in the morning until late afternoon.

WASHINGTON — Call it the contradictory — or confounding — nature of American politics that elected officials can enthusiastically tout ideas they successfully got tucked into a massive agricultural bill — and then turn around and vote against the actual piece of legislation.
Such was the story Thursday for five of Colorado's seven House members — all of whom supported critical parts of the massive $940 billion farm bill but ultimately cast a vote to handily kill it.
Republican Reps. Cory Gardner of Yuma and Scott Tipton of Cortez were the only Colorado House members who supported the legislation.
Democratic Reps. Ed Perlmutter, Diana DeGette and Jared Polis and Republican Reps. Doug Lamborn and Mike Coffman all voted to support dozens of amendments in the bill, but all voted against it.
The farm bill would have chopped $20 billion from the food stamp program and reformed direct payments for farmers. It would have delivered wildfire aid to places hardest hit and would have offered assistance to Colorado farmers suffering in the drought get federal help.
The Senate passed a compromise bill earlier this month that cut $4 billion from food stamps and reformed the way agricultural subsidies are doled out.
Minutes before the final vote, Polis was upbeat about the four amendments he successfully shepherded through passage, saying "this is what the legislative process should be."
His amendments included a proposal to allow universities to grow industrial hemp and additional research into antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
He also supported a bipartisan amendment that would have prioritized fire-damaged areas to get watershed protection funds.
"I'm very happy I got this stuff in!" the Boulder Democrat said. "But I'm not a fan of the farm bill. I'm not a fan of our byzantine, Soviet-style agricultural policy."
When pressed what he meant by that, Polis said he didn't believe government should have any hand in dairy prices, just like it doesn't have a say in "bananas or flowers."
(An amendment to fix the dairy prices problem was passed, but is now dead due to the ultimate failure of the farm bill.)
Lamborn, of Colorado Springs, supported 20 amendments of the farm bill, including the watershed protection money for areas damaged by fires.
Ultimately, though, Lamborn said the $20.5 billion in cuts to the food stamps program was not enough.
"This was a tough vote," he said. "While I supported many of the reforms to the food stamp program in the bill, in the end they didn't go far enough."
The fate of the work in the House on the farm bill was unclear Thursday.
Gardner, whose 4th Congressional District a few years ago was the 11th-most rural in the country, said after the vote he was "terribly disappointed."
He laid blame on Democrats, though half the Republicans within the Colorado caucus didn't support it either.
"I don't speak for them," Gardner said. "I will not give up pitching to fight for rural America. … The fact the votes didn't materialize is a reflection of partisan games. I'm not happy with the outcome of the vote."
Tipton also called the vote "a missed opportunity."
"This was not a perfect bill, but a good first step toward reform that would have eliminated or consolidated more than 100 government programs," he said. "These would have been the largest reforms since 1996, and they were good first steps."
Kathy Underhill, executive director for Hunger Free Colorado, urged members to vote against the bill because of the food stamp cuts, which could have kicked 55,710 out of 510,441 Coloradans on food assistance off the program.
"I'm still hopeful they're going to pass a strong farm bill that doesn't harm low-income Coloradans," she said.
Perlmutter, of Jefferson County, supported supported nine amendments in the bill, but voted against it because he said the overall piece of legislation would have harmed too many Coloradans.
