You may remember Antonio Salieri as the composer who, in the fictionalized world of Amadeus, was the secret rival of Mozart. Fiction aside, the real-life Salieri was an Italian composer who made his career in Vienna, where he died and is buried.
But now, say some in Italy, it's time for his remains to come back home.

Another thumb up! Film is most "horrid", I promise!

In response to About the movie, written by MB on December 30, 1997 at 16:43:12
...Some of my favorite discussions in the novel (such as Henry's witty comments on journals and novels) are missing, but the movie does a neat, campy job of capturing Catherine's gothic fantasy life.
I liked it a lot. And as far as Henry's witty comments, there are some good ones in the unedited "for sale" version. Did you see that one Michelle? The part about "gentlemen read better books" is in there right before the scene where he talks about ignorance being "a great enhancement" to females.
So, what I guess I'm saying is that it's a fun way to spend an hour-and-a-half to two hours, but if you're expecting a P&P2-type treatment, you'll be disappointed.
I agree in general with that statement, Michelle. And as I said once before, I thought the music was saxy, and thought the part with the pageboy cartwheeling was a nice touch.

Blood, Lust, and Protection: An Alternate View of Ares, God of the Greek Pantheon
Ares is one of the most popular gods of the Greek pantheon. He is also one of the earliest documented deities, known from the texts much older than the Iliad. This deity is primarily known as a bloody god of war who was thought to help soldiers on the battlefield. But is there more to the story of Ares than his role as a warmonger? What did legends say about his connections to women, such as the Amazons and Aphrodite?

Harrison Barnes of the Sacramento Kings has agreed to help Atatiana Jefferson’s family by paying for the rest of the funeral expenses. Malik Jackson of the Philadelphia Eagles is also helping pay for the funeral expenses.
Barnes, who is forward on the Kings, said that he wanted to give back to the community. “My wife and I wanted to do something for that family. It was a tragic situation that happened. No one should be killed during a wellness check, but the biggest thing is, anytime someone has to go through that, the last thing you want to have to worry about is trying to come up with the money for a funeral.”
Jefferson, 28, was shot and killed by former Fort Worth police officer, Aaron Dean while playing video games with her 8-year-old nephew. Dean resigned from his position and was arrested and charged with murder.
Jefferson’s funeral is set to take place on Saturday, October 19th, 2019.

Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union in 1991, much of the vast empire’s public art—or propaganda—has perished as well. Socialist Realism was the dominant style of the day—that is, art that bolstered the socialist message by glorifying the proletariat and celebrating civic triumphs. Hardworking men and women of heroic proportions were depicted on posters and in brightly colored mosaics on the walls of factories, schools, and bus stations.
Bold reminders of a very different time, the mosaics that remain are mostly crumbling, slowly being reduced to rubble in failing industrial districts and on the sides of abandoned buildings.

Assembly Considers Closer Oversight of Management
Tuesday, 13 November 2012
Despite having met with the school board earlier in the evening, the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly held its second work session of the night on Thursday, though there was only one item on the agenda: revising borough code for professional services contracts.
The call for revisions came about earlier this fall when questions were raised among some assembly members about conflict of interest regarding contracts between the borough and assembly members.
Assemblyman Tuck Bonney and Assemblywoman Carol Austerman met
earlier in the week with borough staff to scrape through the code and
make draft changes. One of the three big changes recommended to the
assembly would require the borough manager to report any contracts
between the borough and any assembly member or their immediate family at
the next regular meeting. Before, any contract under $25,000 could be
done at the manager’s discretion. If this change is made then all
contracts that pose a possible conflict of interest, no matter the
amount, will be brought to the assembly.
change would allow contracts for professional services that don’t pose a
conflict of interest to forego the bid process entirely. Austerman said
the assembly would still be the deciding factor.
-- (Borough Code 1 :21 “And what Tuck and I wanted…but only by the assembly’s direction.”)
Austerman said the borough manager would still have a say in the
matter, in fact it would be the manager who would make the
recommendation to the assembly about the exemption.
-- (Borough Code 2 :19 “Because it was originally written that…to come before the assembly.”)
Acting Borough Manager Bud Cassidy stepped in to clarify exactly what this change could mean.
-- (Borough Code 3 :20 “Let me give you a real world example…need something fairly quickly.”)
According to the draft, assembly members could approve the exemption
by consensus via email, but Assemblyman Aaron Griffin questioned if that
method violated open meetings laws
-- (Borough Code 4 :11 “I guess I’m worried that this is…then we’re conducting business.”)
Cassidy said the borough attorney still needs to comb through the
recommendations and said they will be sure to get her legal opinion on
the matter. Another potential change that endured heavy discussion was
the section of the code pertaining to change orders. While Bonney and
Austerman did recommend some changes, it was agreed by most assembly
members that the section needs an even closer look and should be
reworded to fit larger projects. Austerman said she would sit down with
borough staff and fellow assembly members to do just that. The hope is
to have a draft of all the changes ready for introduction by the
assembly during the first meeting in December.


KURNOOL: After the deluge, the residents of Kurnool are to fight water scarcity.
The authorities are making hectic arrangements to draw water from Gajuladinne project, 50 km upstream of city.
Kurnool switched over to KC canal to meet its water needs a few years ago disbanding the river source. Since the KC canal in a shambles now, the water supply system is put to strain.
The municipal authorities are making efforts to draw water before the summer storage tank which has capacity to sustain the supply for 15 days goes dry.
According to officials, the supply was jacked up from 55 million litres to 65 million litres to meet the demand. Every household is consuming double the amount of water to clean up the houses. Even to draw water from Gajuladinne project, the KC canal bunds are to be repaired to a distance of 7 km from G. Singavaram to Munagalapadu. Meanwhile, the pump house on the Tungabhadra bank near Masa Masjid is being repaired by replacing the transformers and pump sets. The system supplies 20 per cent of the total water requirement of the city.
The municipal authorities requested the collector to intervene and coordinate with the irrigation department.

Curry Chicken, Blueberry and Cashew Nut Salad
I am not a salad person. Not even in the summer months. In actual fact when it gets really hot I crave a curry or a traditional South African stew with lamb chops and cabbage...hmmm. Okay you guessed it, it is, supposedly, summer in South Africa. I say supposedly because in Cape Town we have 2 seasons only: rainy or windy. If it's not raining we have hurricane strength winds. Okay, I exaggerate, but not by much.
But even I have to admit, for the purpose of a lunchbox, nothing beats a salad. But you have to pack it right or you get these terrible soggy leaves and everything is soggy. I tend to go for the lazy approach and prepare my salad in the lunchbox (so no washing up afterwards and no wasting any of the sauce!). For the curry sauce I use the following: 1 tablespoon mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon full fat plain yoghurt, 1 teaspoon white balsamic vinegar, ½ a teaspoon curry powder and ½ a teaspoon turmeric powder.
I just mix everything up the night before so it has time to sit but the other option is to microwave it for a few seconds to "cook" the sauce a bit. If all else fails use Ina Paarman's Creamy Curry sauce that is ready to pour as a substitute.
I then add about ½ a cup to ¾ cup shredded and cooked chicken directly into the sauce. Then I add ½ a cup of fresh blueberries (for sweetness) and ½ a cup of raw, unsalted cashew nuts (for crunch). I don't add cucumber or any other veggies as they tend to go a bit soggy too. If you do want to add some veggies I suggest to add it the next morning on top of the chicken mixture.
You are more than welcome to add some finely chopped red onions or green peppers or any other salad veggies you like but this combination with just salad leaves is perfect for me. Plus this allows me to prepare everything the night before up to this point, put it in the fridge and just add the fresh leaves the next morning.
I add 1 cup of fresh rocket leaves as the peppery taste goes so well with the curry chicken. I just place it on top of the mixture and don't mix it in for 2 reasons: firstly it doesn't really touch the saucy chicken so it will stay fresh and crisp until lunch time and secondly, I just grab a plate and turn the whole thing over and have a beautiful salad of green leaves on the bottom and my curry chicken mixture on top.
The quantities used are just an estimate. Salads are really hard to get wrong. Use what you have in the fridge and in the amounts you feel like.

Chris Evans quits; Top Gear USA cancelled
After just one season, Chris Evans has announced that he is leaving as host of Top Gear. The rebooted motoring TV show’s ratings dropped to 1.9 million viewers for the season finale – featuring actor and race car driver Patrick Dempsey – which is the worst ever rating in the history of the series. Evans is breaking a three-year contract with the BBC, but he said, “Gave it my best shot but sometimes that’s not enough.”
The ratings might be just one of the reasons that Evans is leaving prematurely. Prior to his announcement, there has been rumours that co-host Matt LeBlanc was threatening to quit. According to reports being carried by a number of media organisations, LeBlanc had let it be known that he was ready to quit the show if Evans wasn’t removed first, as relations between the two had become decidedly sour.
LeBlanc wouldn’t have been the first to go. Lisa Clark, the show’s executive producer, had already taken the walk after she claimed that Evans was “tyrannical” and was allegedly heard telling people that he (Evans) could “trample over everyone”.
Evans has, however, come out in support of LeBlanc taking over the helm of the foundering Top Gear ship. So all these could just be the British press running a little wild with their pet Top Gear rumours. On the other hand, if we despised someone, we might want him to be the captain that goes down with the ship…
In a separate and seemingly unrelated incident which has further dented the once undentable reputation of Top Gear, the History Channel has pulled the plug on the show’s US of A version where it had enjoyed a five-year stay.
An Instagram posting by Rutledge Wood, one of the presenters of the American version, showed the three presenters sitting on a couch with a message saying that they had just shot the finale’s episode. The caption to the photo (see below) did leave a glimmer of hope that the show would continue, albeit with a different station or even via a streaming service, much in the same way that UK Top Gear’s former hosts – Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond – are now to be viewed via Amazon.
Wood and co-hosts, Adam Ferrara and Tanner Foust, claim that they will be sticking together despite the trio not really having been able to create the same sort of chemistry that was created over the pond in the UK. The owners of the show, BBC Worldwide Productions, seem to be as optimistic as the presenters, and has given hope that the show will continue, announcing that it is committed to the future of the show and the brand, and has begun to explore new possibilities for the series in the US of A.

Galveston has won its reputation as "the Playground of the South" with scenic coastlines, rollicking festivals, unique historic sights, and a buzzing nightlife scene. To make the most of your trip, book your hotel or a full travel package with Travelocity. You'll find all of the best hotels in Galveston, TX, in one place. Plus, you can score cheap deals on luxurious lodgings and set up all of your vacation's logistics quickly and easily online. With all the money you save on hotels and flights, you can dedicate more of your vacation funds to enjoying Galveston's sights, perhaps picking up tickets to a show or indulging in a fine meal of local Gulf Coast cuisine!
A visit to Galveston wouldn't be complete without a wander through Moody Gardens. The 242-acre park is part amusement park, part gardens, and part wildlife preserve. Everything comes together to produce a rewarding destination for the whole family. Even a simple stroll around downtown Galveston shows off many of the city's greatest pleasures. Historic spots like the Art Deco Railroad Museum and the Ocean Star Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum are interesting sights, both inside and out. Right within the walkable downtown area, you can make your way from the fascinating waterfront district to the shoppers' paradise at The Strand to the trendy galleries and boutiques of the Postoffice Street arts district.
For energetic visitors, Galveston is an ideal spot to enjoy water sports, hiking, or other outdoor activities. Head to the Gulf to enjoy sailing, fishing, or kayaking. Surfers can find waves at designated spots along the coastline, including the stretches between 17th and 21st streets or between 29th and 53rd streets. Golfers can head inland to either of two courses on the island. If the weather's warm and you're traveling with kids, a trip to Schlitterbahn Galveston Island is one must-do activity. The legendary water park features slides, "water coasters," kiddie pools, and more. For a more old-time approach to fun, check out the Historic Pleasure Pier, the "Coney Island of the South." Once you've worked up an appetite, unwind and indulge at one of the many international restaurants that line The Strand or the waterfront district. You can find fresh Gulf Coast specialties including the local seafood as well as authentic Tex-Mex and an array of internationally themed restaurants.
For entertainment at a slightly slower pace, you may enjoy the peace and relaxation that comes with a day of birding. Birders from around the world come to Galveston to see the island's local fauna. You may see various shore and water birds throughout the year as well as many rare species that pass through during their yearly migrations. If you have an interest in transportation or technology, Galveston is home to four museums on various related themes. In addition to the Railroad Museum and the Offshore Drilling Rig and Museum, visitors can learn about aviation at the Lone Star Flight Museum and head back in sailing history at the Texas Seaport Museum, home to the 1877 tall ship Elissa. For a history lesson that you can sit back and enjoy, take in a show at the Pier 21 Theater, which plays documentaries on Galveston history year-round. To take in the sights firsthand, take a ride on the Galveston Island ferry, which runs 24 hours per day year-round.
There's no right or wrong time to visit Galveston. However, you can bank on a rather different experience depending when you visit. Head to Galveston in the spring and you'll find both eager bird-watchers and, should your trip coincide with spring break, a lot of college students looking to let loose. In the summer, the temperatures climb, but you can also enjoy special summer concert series and other events. The intense heat can also drive down the rates at many Galveston, Texas, hotels and attractions. Bear in mind, however, that hurricane season does extend from June through September, posing some weather risk during that part of the year. Autumn is a beautiful season to visit, with temperatures in a "sweet spot" and the city launching into many Halloween-related celebrations. During holidays, while you'll find fewer cheap hotels in Galveston, you may still offset "high season" prices by buying early and opting for one of Travelocity's packages. In the wintertime, outside of the Christmas holidays, many Galveston, TX, hotels offer cheaper rates. However, the cooler temperatures mean that water parks close.
The city of Galveston is located on Galveston Island, a barrier island just off Texas' Gulf Coast. Given the long, thin shape of the barrier island, stretching about 27 miles in length and only about 3 miles across, it's easy to find hotels in Galveston, TX, that are close to the beaches. Many Galveston, TX hotels, line the Gulf Coast side of the island, while a few others are located closer to the intercoastal waters. By choosing among the hotels in Galveston, Texas, clustered around the downtown area, you can put yourself in the midst of local culture. On the other hand, many hotels are also located further west along the Gulf side of the island, around the Schlitterbahn water park and the convention center.
While Galveston is home to one small "reliever airport" on the island, most visitors fly into Houston and then travel to the island by rental car, bus, or railway. The trip takes a little more than an hour by car, and many visitors prefer to have a rental car for getting around on the island. On the other hand, various private shuttle companies also provide service directly from Houston's two airports to downtown Galveston. In Houston, you may fly into either William P. Hobby Airport or George Bush Intercontinental Airport. Hobby Airport is serviced by five airlines, including Southwest, Delta, American Airlines, and JetBlue. George Bush Intercontinental Airport is served by 21 passenger airlines, featuring regular flights to around 200 domestic and international destinations.
Whatever draws you to Galveston, the Gulf Coast destination is sure to offer a break from the routine. From sunbathing to surfing, birding to fishing, museums to historic mansions, and water parks to gardens, there's something to please every kind of visitor!

ELVIS - THE SHOW
FEATURING: Nathan Belt
MUSICAL DIRECTOR: Richie Baker
STAGED BY: Johnny van Grinsven, Showtime Australia
VENUE: The Mandela, Joburg Theatre
UNTIL: February 2
Impersonating Elvis is far more challenging than being able to perfect your pelvic movements. It’s essential that there must be lots of intelligence higher up in the body to achieve a lasting impression.
Nathan Belt from Las Vegas has it all: the voice, the looks, the personality, youth as well as musical flair and acumen, to perform with ease on a variety of instruments.
But even when all of this is solidly in place, there’s no guarantee that the impersonator will be convincing enough to ooze the kind of charm that will make audiences eat out of his proverbial hands.
On this level, Belt is more of a reincarnation of The King. After unfortunately having experienced a number of horrendously camp Elvis impersonators (especially in the 1980s and early 1990s), Belt’s performance never lets you wonder about his seriousness of bringing Elvis to a younger generation who never acquainted themselves with his legacy.
It was Elvis who said: “ambition is a dream with a V8 engine” and during a concert mentioned: “I think I have something tonight that’s not quite correct for evening wear. Blue suede shoes.”
It’s with this mega Presley hit that Belt opens the sluices of this two-hour nostalgic show. The intensity and energy he lets loose only seldom abates, while the crowd, many which were dressed up in various incarnations of rock ‘n’ roll gear, would cheer him up to give his best – all proving that in the best hands nostalgia can exactly be like it used to be.
Just about all the universally acclaimed Presley songs passed in this most entertaining tribute: Jailhouse Rock, I’m All Shook Up. Suspicious Minds and more.
Nathan Belt, as the natural charmer he no doubt is, moved into the auditorium and handed out scarves to the ladies and kissed the younger ones on their cheeks.
The staging of the show is staggeringly professional, recalling the 1950s and ’60s with a vintage car, motor bike and a juke box.
Even more fascinating and, according to Belt, totally authentic, was the scene where he and three musicians set up the Sun Studio where Elvis and his early bandmates recorded songs for his mother.
Belt’s band on the Mandela stage is a professional act, including our own Steve Dennett who produces a stunning bass guitar solo, and dancers and backing vocalists give extra lustre to the mind-blowing show.

Sunday, July 26, 2009
The inspiration for these Sterling Silver and Coral earrings came to me at midnight. Not a typical tale for me, for you see, i am a night sleeper, a dreamer. But, alas, this particular night found me awake and restless. The heat of the day had subsided with a miraculous rainshower earlier, and so . . . out to the studio i go.
To get there i must step out onto the back deck, my feet feeling the rain wet wood. I step down into the garden, following the straw lined path now very cool and wet, nearly squishy to my bare feet. In the day i have to be mindful not to step upon any creature for the rolly-pollys and ants are busy moving from the garden across the concrete patio between the studio and the garden.
I do not put music on, but opt to listen to the music made by the wind in the trees. A cool night breeze this is which blows through making my tall carrot flowers sway sleepily. And as i sit to meditate for a moment and take in this nights present moment, i am filled with inspiration and begin to look through my materials and my silver to manifest this complex sense of the night . . .
. . . and these earrings "inspircoral" are born . . .
. . . there is something in them of the sacred circle, the path of planets, a cool night breeze and my neighbors backyard wind chimes...the striving of the life force in the sea...the transformation of extreme forces, met with grace and peace, a creation somewhere between allowing and dreaming...
The silver swerve and circle are free to rotate around the axis of the ear wire. The coral bead is free to spin.

Detroit Freedom Friday 12
Friday August 1, 2014
4:00 pm at the DWSD downtown office, 735 Randolph, Detroit
Gather at the Bates Street entrance, around the corner
Permanent Moratorium on Water Shutoffs!
Restore Water Service Now!
Amnesty for those accused of turning on water!
Hands off the Pensions!
Make the Banks Pay!
Friday, August 1, will represent the 12th straight week of demonstrations in downtown Detroit in opposition to emergency management and the role of the banks and corporations in the ongoing dismantling and destruction of the city. Last week thousands of delegates to the Net Roots Conference at Cobo Center joined us for the demonstration through the financial district. Attendees included the National Nurses United which declared a public health emergency in the city. Other labor, political and community organizations marched alongside us in solidarity with the people of Detroit.
At present thousands of households have been subjected to illegal water shutoffs at the aegis of the bank-imposed EM Kevyn Orr who is seeking to drive even more people from the city as part of the “Grand Theft Bargain” they are implementing on behalf of the criminal corporations and financial institutions. These water shutoffs are being carried out by a private firm hired by the outlaw EM utilizing the tax dollars of residents. The aim is to illegally seize the water department from the people of Detroit and turn it over to private interests.
On Mon. July 21, federal bankruptcy Judge Steven Rhodes heard the DWSD declare a 15-day suspension of the shut-offs. This announcement in federal court was prompted by the testimony delivered at the objections’ hearing on July 15 as well as the mass demonstrations since then. In addition to the announcement by DWSD, a class-action lawsuit was filed against the DWSD against the shut-offs. Plaintiffs include victims of the draconian policy and four community organizations.
We are by no means satisfied with this supposed “suspension of shut-offs for 15 day.” We demand that all households that have had their water services terminated be immediately TURNED BACK ON! There must be an indefinite MORATORIUM ON ALL WATER SHUT-OFFS IN DETROIT! It is the banks which have swindled the taxpayers out of $530 million in fraudulent interest-rate swaps tied to the DWSD, funds that should be used to repair water main breaks and other infrastructural improvements along with lowering rates which have skyrocketed over 125 percent.
We are calling for the total rejection of the bogus “Plan of Adjustment” and the immediate ejecting of the EM Orr. Pensions, healthcare, public assets, the DIA, DWSD, Belle Isle, Detroit Public Schools and all other properties of the city must be protected from the corporate looters who have taken control of the state and local governments in Michigan. Local control must be restored and the capitulationist program of the City Council and the mayor should be resisted by the workers, seniors and youth of Detroit.
- Stop the Water Shutoffs and Restore Service!
- Restore Healthcare and Protect Full Pension Rights!
- Hold Gilbert and the Banks Responsible for the Blight!
- Make the Banks and Auto Companies Pay for the Destruction of Detroit!
- Overturn the EM Law and the Illegal Forced Bankruptcy!

The Tri-County News April21, 1916
Singbad the Sailor played to a capacity house at the Camera theater Wednesday night, and presented one of the best home talent plays ever given in Mounds Reserved seats were placed on sale at the Postoffice Confectionery Tuesday morning and long before the doors were opened for the performance the last seat had been sold. Something over sixty general admissions paid at the door.
As to the play itself, it showed the result of the careful and painstaking work that has been put in on it by the players for the past several weeks. There was no stiffness, no forgetting of lines, not a hitch from curtain to curtain. The players knew their lines and played them easily and naturally. As Singbad, Frank Chambers was a scream. He played the part as it was supposed to be played--a wonderful hot air merchant, pompous a universal flirt, but withall full of good tunes and a dancer who could step to any kind of music, whether a two-step or a dirge. The trio, "The Music I Like" of which Singbad's dancing was the feature, was perhaps the best received of any single selection.
The other characters played their parts well, Miss Daisy Wills as the queen, doing especially well. Mrs Bilbro as the Princess Aminta, reciting her music lesson, was one of the best numbers. The cannibals performed well, and the cannibal king was a very ferocious being indeed.
Miss Ethel Coffman proved to be an accompanist of ability. The success or failure of an amateur musical often rests with the accompanist, and Miss Coffman is of the best.
Minor Sisson, with crude materials such as an old curtain and a little kalsomine, painted an appropriate back drop for the cannibal chorus. L. F. Bilbro excels as a stage carpenter as well as a cannibal king.
The receipts were all that could have been asked, and everyone connected with the play was well satisfied. To accommodate those who were unable to obtain seats Wednesday night, the play will be repeated at the Camera Monday night. An offer of a nice guarantee from Kiefer has been made, and it is likely that arrangements will be made to stage "Singbad" there some time soon.

The ease of doing business in Malaysia has seen a steady improvement in the last decade but despite the many endeavours to establish a conducive business environment, it remains one of the most complex jurisdictions for foreign businesses to operate in.
In fact, Malaysia is the ninth most complex country in the world for multinationals to do business in and the third most complex in Asia, according to the Global Business Complexity Index (GBCI) 2020 report. The report is compiled by the TMF Group, a global administrative support services company for international business expansion.
According to the report, the country’s dismal position is mainly due to “high complexity” when it comes to the process for foreign businesses, which can take up to a month.
Incorporation in Malaysia involves obtaining licences for all business premises. Licences are also required for operating in some industry sectors, which will affect the required share capital, it states.
“Malaysia offers a wealth of opportunities for international businesses, and there is clearly an appetite to attract more investment into the country. However, investors in Malaysia must be able to navigate its changing social, political and economic landscape,” says Sharon Yam, TMF Group’s managing director for Malaysia.
However, the government is trying to address this problem to make Malaysia a more attractive place to do business where it launched a digital submission platform for audits and financial statements, says Yam.
“While its use is not compulsory, the government is encouraging the companies to use it by giving an annual rebate of RM5,000 per year.
“This is part of the Malaysian government’s strategy of simplifying processes to attract foreign direct investment which has helped move the country forward. We can expect to see the country’s business complexity to start reducing as a result,” she adds.
The report finds that in most jurisdictions, the national government is the common point of authorisation for incorporation, followed by city- or local-level requirements.
“In some jurisdictions, the incorporation process involves 30 or more interactions with various bodies. In the most complex of these, businesses have to register with multiple authorities, depending on the industry in which they are operating,” it states.
In Indonesia, for example, entity activation involves obtaining up to 11 permits. “There are 22 industry sectors and about 200 subsectors, each with different requirements for notification.”
It states that these processes are a “legislative minefield for incorporation” and it is reflected in Indonesia’s high ranking in the GBCI 2020 report. However, the report adds that the country is trying to streamline the process in the coming years with legislation designed to simplify incorporation.
“There has been substantial progress across the globe: in 71% of jurisdictions the relevant authorities are automatically notified during the incorporation process. This streamlining lessens complexity and saves incorporation time.
“The British Virgin Islands operates a registered agency model. Foreign businesses have a single point of contact – their registered agent – who engages with and notifies all the relevant bodies and agencies on their behalf. This simplicity is reflected in the BVI’s GBCI 2020 ranking as one of the least complex jurisdictions.
The GBCI analyses key areas of business administration and compliance across 77 jurisdictions.
The index is compiled based on over 250 different criteria including the time it takes for businesses to incorporate, changes in tax legislation policies around wages and benefits to the challenges of opening a bank account.
It found that in Asia, only Indonesia (1st) and mainland China (6th) represented a larger challenge for multinational firms looking to establish and operate local subsidiaries. Meanwhile, Taiwan, India and South Korea held the 16th, 17th and 18th position respectively.
On the contrary, the special administrative regions of Hong Kong (66th) and Singapore (60th) are the Asia continent’s simplest jurisdictions for business.
Additionally, the report found that legislative change is a major cause of complexity, particularly if it happens suddenly and requires a substantial effort to adapt to new practices and rates.
“In Ecuador, political instability has led to frequent changes in tax legislation with almost immediate ramifications, such as the recent increase in the withholding tax rate. In Greece, about 70 new tax laws are introduced every year, typically in March or April, which are applied retroactively to the start of the calendar year. Companies are forced to retrofit their accounts and tax submissions to comply with these changes.”
But some state institutions around the world are attempting to act more as a partner to businesses as the number of jurisdictions that require mandatory audits of company accounts has decreased, it states.
“In 2020, 12% of jurisdictions require all companies to have their accounts audited, compared to 17% the previous year. The jurisdictions driving this trend are Bolivia, India, Luxembourg, Malaysia and Ukraine.
“In the Republic of Ireland, a comprehensive online taxation system allows authorities to choose to audit a company if its submissions look suspicious or are clearly incorrect, cutting down on audits for their own sake. Greater digitalisation of tax processes around the world in the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic is likely,” states the report.
The GBCI 2020 also finds that the least complex jurisdictions have used information and communications technology to enhance communication and contract mechanisms so that setting up and operating a business becomes much easier.
“Other jurisdictions will want to ensure that they are not left behind. Given that three in 10 jurisdictions do not currently make official submissions to the government electronically, many of them may not have the tools to adapt to an environment that increasingly relies on the latest technology.
“Such tools are a fundamental requirement for operating at full throttle in the global economy. The successful jurisdictions will be those that offer the common international practices preferred by overseas companies,” it adds.
Moreover, the coronavirus pandemic is likely to motivate international bodies to step up actions to coordinate and regulate trade across borders to benefit all stakeholders.
“With eight in 10 jurisdictions already signed up to the OECD’s Common Reporting Standard (CRS), there is a clear desire to continue participating in international regulatory alignment. It is likely that further global governance initiatives will follow in its wake.”
The OECD initiative is aimed at making sharing account data between financial institutions across borders more transparent.

All you need to do now is choose a classic car that will be easy for you to restore regarding the cost of rebuilding it, availability of its parts.

Stick with the 2-door models for better resale. There are numerous companies that supply all the parts and accessories you need for your restoration or build.

While I have been Autocrossing and doing my own simple maintenance for a few years, this will be my first foray into bodywork and whatnot. When you get into the 1960s trucks they become more modern than the old fat fender trucks of the 1950s. John Russo, the owner, actually came from a chicken farming family and went to school for carpentry in Rhode Island.
The Lincoln Continental 1961-1956 The Lincolns are one of the most favorite sixties cars due to their classy shape and they never that never goes out of style.

Icann decision opens up the internet
Hundreds of millions of people will soon be able to access the internet entirely in their mother tongue following a landmark decision.
Board members at the Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers (Icann) approved plans to allow domain names in non-Latin scripts such as Chinese, Arabic and Russian yesterday morning. The project, entitled the Internationalised Domain Name Fast Track Process, has been given the green light after several years of political wrangles and exhaustive technical testing. Although work on the initiative formally begins on November 16th 2009, the first internationalised domain names (IDNs) are not expected until the middle of next year.
IDNs in numbers
Since the birth of the internet, the Domain Name System (DNS) has only accepted web addresses with a very limited number of Latin characters. Now, Icann is taking its first steps towards incorporating 100,000 characters from languages across the globe. There are 1.67 billion internet users, according to Internet World Stats, and it's estimated that more than half speak languages with non-Latin scripts so the potential market for international web addresses is vast.
Rod Beckstrom, president and chief executive officer of Icann, has hailed today's decision. "This is only the first step but it is an incredibly big one and a historic move," he said. "The first countries that participate will not only be providing valuable information of the operation of IDNs in the DNS, they are also going to help to bring the first of billions more people online."
Icann is commonly described as the regulator of the internet. The non-profit organisation coordinates top-level domains like .org and country code top-level domains such as .uk, while it also has the final say on creating new domains like .xxx and .mobi.

As we travel into the valley of the Kuri Chhu we will pass by extensive cornfields and paddy field, tropical fruits such as mango and pineapples flourish. When travelling though eastern part of Bhutan the main language is Sharchop, much different from National Language, Dzongkha. In western Bhutan most towns are located in valleys but in eastern Bhutan most towns, including Mongar, are at the tops of hills or ridges.
- Mongar Dzong: We will visit Mongar Dzong, which was established in 1930 to replace the original Dzong. Currently it is used as the district office and monastic body.
Day 5: Mongar to Bumthang
The most spectacular drive in the country is between Mongar & Jaker, we will cross the Thrumsing La (Bhutan’s highest pass at 3,800m), and it’s a pass where we officially depart eastern Bhutan. The drive across the Thrumshing La pass and the subsequent descent through the mountains from high altitude pine forest to lush pastures is long and at times tiring, the relentless natural vegetation variation and change makes it one of the most exciting drives in the country. We will then pass by Ura valley, the highest valley in Bumthang and believed by to have been the home of the earliest inhabitants of Bhutan.
It allows us an insight into how the central Bhutanese live. The paved streets of the traditional village of Ura give a medieval feel. The old women of this region still wear sheepskin shawls on their backs which double as a blanket and cushion.
Day 6: Bumthang sightseeing-I (Altitude 2,600 – 4,000m)
Bumthang is known as the paradise of Bhutan, it has the most spectacular valley and also the heartland of Buddhism in Bhutan. Bumthang is a home to the Guru Rinpoche and his lineage of Tertons (treasure finders) which have led to construct more than 50 temples in this peaceful valley. Bumthand valley is also rich in fauna and flora.
Following visits will be made:
- Tamshing Goemba: Built in 1501 by the Buddhist saint Pema Lingpa.
- Kurjey Lhakhang: It is one of the most sacred monasteries in Bhutan. Built by the Guru Rinpoche in 1652, it houses a rock with his body imprint. Legend has it that Guru Rimpoche manifested as a Garuda to defeat the demon Shelging Karpo who had taken the form of a white lion.
- Jambay Lhakhang: It is built in 659 by Tibetan King Sontsen Gampo to pin down a demoness who was obstructing the spread of Buddhism.
- Jakar Dzong: Built as monastery in 1549 by the great grandfather of the Zhabdrung, located on a pitched high ground overlooking the town junction. It is currently used as the administrative center for Bumthang district
- Thangbi Lhakhang: Located along the Thangbi Valley, we will have to hike for a short while, crossing a suspension bridge. This Lhakhang was built in the 14th century.
Note: Visit in October, Jambay Lhakhang Drup is one of the most colourful festivals in Bhutan.
Day 7: Bumthang sightseeing-II (Altitude 2,600m – 4,000m)
- Me-Bar Tsho (Burning Lake): One of the most sacred sites in Bhutan, the holy lake is said to be one of the holiest lakes in Bhutan. The legend says, Terton Pema Lingpa (Buddhist saint and treasure discoverer) dived into the lake holding a burning butter lamp on one hand. After several hours when he came out of the lake, he was holding some relics on one hand and the butter lamp on his other hand which was still burning. Thus the lake was called Me-Bar Tsho (Me-bar=Burning Tsho=Lake)
- Ugyen Choling Palace: A two hours drive journey, a roadside Lhakhang and a nunnery, ending at Tang valley and the village of Kesum. From the road we will have to hike for an hour over a suspension footbridge, along the farm fields and cluster villages, up a hill to the mystical Ugyen Choling palace where we will spend nights in the owner’s guesthouse or in the Dzong.

Welcome to a world where enormous machines with unimaginable processing power work tirelessly, crunching numbers and unraveling the mysteries of our atmosphere. We’re talking about supercomputers—those behemoths that have revolutionized weather forecasting as we know it. Have you ever wondered how these technological marvels are able to predict storms, heatwaves, or even hurricanes with such astonishing accuracy? Brace yourself for an intriguing journey into the science behind supercomputers and their profound impact on weather forecasting. Get ready to uncover secrets hidden within terabytes of data and witness firsthand how these cutting-edge technologies shape our understanding of Mother Nature’s whims.
Supercomputers are some of the most powerful tools in the world. They can perform billions of calculations per second and store huge amounts of data. Supercomputers are used for many things, including weather forecasting.
Weather forecasting is a complex process that involves understanding the atmosphere and how it works. Supercomputers help by running numerical weather models. These models take into account many factors, such as the amount of sunlight, atmospheric pressure, humidity, and wind speed. By crunching all of this data, supercomputers can generate accurate predictions about what the weather will be like in the future.
While supercomputers have made great strides in weather forecasting, there is still room for improvement. One goal for the future is to develop more sophisticated models that can take even more factors into account. Additionally, researchers are working on ways to make better use of supercomputing power to improve forecasts even further.
How Supercomputers are Used for Weather Forecasting
Supercomputers play a vital role in weather forecasting by providing the high-powered computing necessary to run complex weather models. These models are used to predict everything from short-term weather patterns to long-term climate change.
The most important use of supercomputers in weather forecasting is running numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. NWP models take data from the atmosphere and oceans and use it to simulate how the weather will evolve over time. This information is then used to make forecasts for specific locations.
NWP models are constantly improving as supercomputers become more powerful. This means that forecasters can make more accurate predictions for a wide variety of weather events, from everyday thunderstorms to major hurricanes.
Supercomputers are also used to study climate change. By running climate models on supercomputers, scientists can better understand how the Earth’s climate is changing and what impact this will have on the world’s weather patterns in the future.
Benefits of Using Supercomputers for Weather Forecasting
Supercomputers are playing an increasingly important role in weather forecasting, as they are able to process large amounts of data quickly and accurately. This means that forecasters can create more detailed and accurate models of the atmosphere, which leads to better predictions of future weather conditions.
There are many benefits to using supercomputers for weather forecasting, including:
1. improved accuracy: Supercomputers can process huge amounts of data quickly and accurately, which means that forecasters can create more detailed and accurate models of the atmosphere. This leads to better predictions of future weather conditions.
2. faster turnaround time: Supercomputers can generate forecasts much faster than traditional methods, meaning that forecasters can provide timely updates on developing weather conditions.
3. increased resolution: Supercomputers allow for higher-resolution models of the atmosphere, which means that forecasters can make finer-scale predictions about specific areas (such as where a storm will hit).
4. Improved understanding of the atmosphere: By running complex simulations of the atmosphere on supercomputers, scientists can gain a greater understanding of how the atmosphere works and how it responds to different conditions. This helps them improve both short-term forecasts and long-term climate predictions.
Challenges with Using Supercomputers for Weather Forecasting
Supercomputers are the most powerful computers in the world and are used for various purposes, including weather forecasting. While supercomputers can provide accurate weather forecasts, there are also challenges that come with using them for this purpose.
One challenge is that supercomputers require a lot of energy to run. This means that they have a large carbon footprint and can contribute to climate change. Supercomputers also require a lot of water to cool them down, which can lead to water shortages in areas where they are located.
Another challenge is that supercomputers can be expensive to maintain and upgrade. This cost can be prohibitive for some organizations, making it difficult for them to access the latest forecasting technology. Additionally, supercomputers can break down or experience technical issues, which can disrupt weather forecasts and cause other problems.
Examples of Innovations in the Field of Supercomputer Technology and Their Impact on Weather Forecasting
Supercomputer technology has revolutionized the field of weather forecasting, allowing for more accurate and reliable predictions. One of the most significant innovations in this field is the development of high-resolution numerical weather prediction (NWP) models. These models are able to take into account a wide range of atmospheric and oceanic conditions, resulting in more accurate forecasts.
Another important innovation in supercomputer technology is the use of ensemble forecasting. This technique employs a number of different NWP models to produce a range of predictions, which can then be used to assess the likelihood of particular weather events occurring. This information is invaluable for making decisions about everything from emergency planning to agricultural production.
The impact that these innovations have had on weather forecasting cannot be overstated. They have allowed us to gain a much greater understanding of the atmosphere and its interactions with the rest of the Earth system, leading to better predictions of both short-term and long-term weather patterns.
Supercomputers are some of the most powerful machines ever created by man, and their impact on weather forecasting is undeniable. They allow for much more detailed and accurate predictions than what was possible before they were invented, making them an incredibly valuable tool in the fight against extreme weather events. We have only just begun to scratch the surface of what supercomputers can do, so it will be exciting to see how else they can help us better plan for our future.

England v Portugal – Wembley Stadium at 19:45 live on ITV
On Thursday evening, England take on Portugal in their final friendly before the start of Euro 2016.
[expand title=”Read More…” swaptitle=”Hide” trigpos=”below” rel=”star-highlander” ]
Roy Hodgson selected his 23-man squad on Wednesday afternoon, which included Marcus Rashford and left Danny Drinkwater and Andros Townsend disappointed. Fabian Delph was also ruled out with a groin injury.
Roy Hodgson’s side come into this game off the back of two 2-1 victories against Turkey and Australia in recent weeks and now face Portugal on home turf, having won 9 and lost just 1 of their last 10 home games. Of these 10 games, England have also kept 6 clean sheets despite looking nervy at the back at times and I have no doubt Portugal will give the likes of Chris Smalling and John Stones a test on Thursday.
Portugal will be without Cristiano Ronaldo and Pepe however, as they have been given time off to recover from last weekend’s Champions League Final, whereby Ronaldo scored the winning penalty for Real Madrid in a shoot-out against rivals Atletico. Lille’s Eder is likely to start upfront for Portugal and scored in their 3-0 win against Norway in a friendly last weekend.
Portugal had an impressive qualifying campaign, winning 7 out of their 8 matches and coming top of their group, so this will no doubt be England’s toughest of their international friendlies. England have not faced Portugal since a heated World Cup quarter-final defeat in 2006, in which Wayne Rooney was sent off and Ronaldo scored the winning penalty in a shoot-out, after the match finished goalless.
Portugal have another friendly against Estonia before the tournament begins, but for England, this is their last chance to impress Hodgson in a bid to make the starting line-up for their 1st group game against Russia in Marseille.
In Wednesday’s pre-match press conference, Hodgson stated that Thursday’s starting line-up will not necessarily be the chosen line-up to start against Russia, but he did announce that Ryan Bertrand will miss this friendly due to a ‘minor’ injury.
Neither Harry Kane or Jamie Vardy played in England’s win over Australia and both these players are expected to feature in a bid to maintain their fitness levels. Daniel Sturridge is also set to be available after missing the previous 2 friendlies with a calf injury.
With both sides looking to impress their managers ahead of the tournament, I recommend backing over 2 goals at 1.88. I am expecting both teams to score and with Ronaldo and Pepe out, this gives some other Portuguese players a chance to shine in front of Fernando Santos. As for the final result, it is a tough one to call but I’d be tempted to back a scoring draw which can be backed at 5.00 with Bet365.
Asian Handicap Betting Recommendation: Over 2 goals @ 1.88 with Pinnacle Sports
Prices correct at time of writing.
