Giambattista Valli 2012 Spring Couture

What can I say about Giambattista Valli's Spring Couture collection other than "All of these dresses need to be hanging in my closet."? I'm slowly, but surely, becoming a serious lace fan. The mixing of it with the volume and sheerness, the knee length, it's all really working for me. I usually don't favour a high neckline, but the detailing makes it worth it. I love all the body shapes; I'm partial to a small waist and exaggerated hip. And the floor length gowns... with the head pieces and the epitome of statement necklaces, they were just surreal. The white one is my idea of a couture fairy tale wedding in some enchanted forest under a willow tree, complete with doves and water sprites sprinkling gold glitter dust... I'm getting carried away.

New In - Alexander McQueen De Manta Clutch

New In - Alexander McQueen De Manta Clutch

In the Spring / Summer of 2010, Alexander McQueen introduced the DE MANTA, a large clutch that takes its name and design from the majestic Manta Ray. The collection, entitled Plato's Atlantis, was Lee Alexander McQueen's last complete collection before his untimely death. I proudly own a De Manta from that season. The story of its acquisition was a bit... problematic to say the least. It includes a too long waiting list, friends employing fake accents, and a plan based on persistence. Read about my first De Manta HERE.

Since 2010, McQueen has reinvented the De Manta every season in different colors and fabrications. The Spring / Summer 2014 collection gave me my second one. The new clutch is silk and features a white, black, and striking orange feather print. It has black leather trim and light golden hardware. The contrast of the classic black and white pattern with the added pop of color stole my heart. There was just something about that particular color of orange... Admittedly, I'm drawn to the DE MANTA for aesthetic reasons, but I have to admit the unique shape does lend itself to fit easily in the hand and in the heart.

The models of the Spring / Summer 2014 runway show all wore metal helmets with garments that were a mixture of tribal elements and celtic kilts over pants. The overall theme of the collection was colorful and bold and included lots of jewelry. I was able to secure this bag with much less drama than the first one (they transferred it in from the Las Vegas store) and was able to add an amazing piece to my collection.

A Shreveport Demonstration of (Attempted?) Political Blackmail

by Elliott Stonecipher

Exposure-corruptionIn Shreveport and any other city particularly afflicted by more or less open official malfeasance, it is certainly true that such cesspools are kept full to overflowing by both the official malfeasors and the absence of an outraged citizenry.  It is just as true, though, that the citizenry cannot act against that about which it has no knowledge, or insufficient understanding.

screwed_by_GloverAt tomorrow’s Shreveport City Council meeting, anyone who cares to attend or watch the live broadcast on our local access channel (Channel 6) will be able to see precisely how our city’s poisoned governmental sausage is made these days.  I particularly invite – well, urge – all investigative agencies to pay very special attention.

The headline of this glob of nasty city business is Mayor Cedric Glover’s political blackmail of city council members to force the re-hiring of Calvin Grigsby as the “city’s” financial adviser.  In truth, Grigsby was never the “city’s” financial adviser, he was Glover’s, hired with a very lucrative contract as soon as Glover began his first term.  That Grigsby has been the subject of so many investigations and regulatory actions in various places around the country has never been of any concern to Glover, and still isn’t.

MEDIA-LynchingHow could Glover possibly pull this off as he begins his final year in office?  Actually it’s simple, at least for Glover:  he has threatened to cut-off any capital outlay projects in the council districts of those who do anything other than re-install Grigsby at Glover’s right and left hands with a new contract Glover has concocted.  Glover uses Grigsby to go to the bond markets to provide capital outlay funds, the 2011 bond issue project funding, for example.  It is critical for citizens to understand, however, that there is no – NO – requirement that any particular financial agent do that work.  All that is necessary to get Shreveport’s stalled capital outlay engine running is for Glover to hire another firm to do what his guy, Grigsby, used to do.  That’s all.  Nothing more.

If the Council opposes Glover, those voting against him will be accused of everything from bad hair to bigotry, including holding the city back, blocking those bond issue and other capital outlay projects, and being racist for opposing Grigsby, a black man.  That a black mayor, elected by the voters citywide, levels that charge will not slow our Intimidator-in-Chief down by one single breath.

REAL ETHICSGlover’s predictable storm of hogwash and public intimidation will not change anything, including the facts.  If anyone cares to throw a fact or truth or ten or a hundred of each into the mix, here are a few for openers:

(1)  Here is an initial article I wrote in March 2012 on the subject.  (Linked articles may or may not be accessible in this version.)

(2)  In this follow-up article in October 2012, the official audit report from the specially-hired external auditor is presented.  For those who prefer to read that report separate from the article, here it is.

(3)  Importantly, the Federal Industry Regulatory Authority (known as “FINRA“) reports that Grigsby – both by his name and as Grigsby & Associates, Inc. – is not registered as of last year.  Specifically, according to City Council sources, the two FINRA identifying numbers to use for researching Grigsby’s required registration are 1123572 and 13364.  In checking there, his registration is shown as having been “withdrawn or terminated” on October 8, 2012.  (Enter the above numbers to access the two reports, and scroll to Page 4 in each.)

(4)  Apparently matching the FINRA information, and raising even more obvious questions about why Glover is even making this attempt, the Louisiana Secretary of State shows Grigsby’s registration in Louisiana as having been “revoked.”  The document shows the action was taken day before yesterday, on December 17, 2013.  (Scroll to the last action taken at the bottom of the page.)

As to understanding what this is, no one need be confused.  Our mayor wants to reinstate and start paying again a very close associate of his to handle important city business, an associate which the City Council, for very good reasons, has taken action to stop.  If our mayor doesn’t get his way, he will refuse to commence badly needed capital outlay projects which the citizenry voted to fund two years ago.  (This can’t be legal can it?)

Council members thus will choose between doing the right thing or caving in to the worst kind of political blackmail.

Such is the state of the city.

Wisconsin Passes Pro Franchisee Bill

Wisconsin Passes Pro Franchisee Bill

Wisconsin is the latest state to push back against the overreaching National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) by passing a new law that affirms franchisor and franchisee employees are separate entities. Senate Bill 422 was just signed last week by Governor Scott Walker and applies to state enforcement agencies.

SB 422, which excludes a franchisor as the employer of a franchisee or of an employee of a franchisee for purposes of certain laws relating to employment, was signed in the wake of a decision by the NLRB to change 50 years of federal labor law and legal precedent.

Wisconsin is the latest state to enact legislation that provides clarity to the small business community. Nearly a dozen states have passed or are considering actions to protect local franchises against federal government overreach. More states are standing up to federal bureaucrats in Washington who are trying to alter the long-standing joint employer standard for all franchise small businesses.

"We are proud to be business owners in Wisconsin," say Jeff Tews and Susan Rathers, owners of BrightStar Care facilities across Wisconsin. "The franchise model has allowed us to be able to do what we love and help countless numbers of people along the way. We appreciate that the Wisconsin legislature understands the importance of franchising and passed a bill which allows us to continue to make a difference in our communities."

Live Premiership Rugby to air on British terrestrial TV for first time as Channel 5 wins competitive bid

May 04, 8:25 am

Premiership Rugby matches will be shown live on terrestrial television for the first time in the competition’s history, as Premiership Rugby and Channel 5 today confirm a landmark four-year deal.

The agreement will see Channel 5 broadcast five live games each season from 2017-18, as well as show a highlights programme every Sunday night, covering Premiership Rugby, Anglo-Welsh Cup and Premiership Rugby 7s.

The new contract has been agreed after a competitive bidding process, and will see Channel 5 simulcast five live games with BT Sport, who will continue to broadcast up to 80 live Premiership games per season.

This new deal for club rugby adds to Channel 5’s growing sports portfolio, which includes live boxing and motor sports (including live Formula E Racing), weekly football highlights from across the EFL, as well as its acclaimed cricket highlights package showcasing all England home games. The channel also demonstrated its commitment to live sport recently by providing a terrestrial home for live cricket (also simulcast with BT Sport) for the first time in over a decade, earlier this year, when it broadcast five T20 fixtures from the Australian Big Bash League.

The deal with Premiership Rugby also sees Channel 5 secure the rights to broadcast a weekly highlights programme. The show will feature all the action from around the grounds, and is set to be fronted by recognised names, as well as featuring the insights of former and current players. Channel 5 will announce its production partner in due course.

Earlier in the season Premiership Rugby extended its agreement with Perform, one of the world’s leading digital sports content and media groups. The five-year deal with Perform Group confirms that they will continue producing the Premiership Rugby Highlights show.

“This agreement with Channel 5 will supplement the brilliant, season-long coverage we have with BT Sport,” said Mark McCafferty, Chief Executive, Premiership Rugby. “It will give even more fans a taste of the excitement, incredible skills and unpredictability on show in Premiership Rugby every week.

“We have a very successful partnership with BT Sport that has seen our ratings grow by more than 40% across the last four years. This new agreement with Channel 5 complements that partnership and will bring club rugby to a new audience to provide a fantastic shop window.”

Paul Dunthorne, COO of VIMN UK, Northern and Eastern Europe commented: “We’re delighted to build on our growing sports portfolio and give a terrestrial home to Premiership Rugby. This deal underlines our commitment to live sport following our coverage of the Big Bash League, with terrestrial TV viewers enjoying live cricket for the first time in over a decade.

“Premiership Rugby is one of the most exciting competitions in UK sport; we hope our national reach aligned with our commitment to the sport will enable Premiership Rugby to reach new audiences.”

McCafferty added: “In addition to the live matches Channel 5 will show Sunday night Premiership Rugby highlights at 8pm, which is vital to the continued growth of our competition. That appointment to view has been crucial in growing our live audiences on BT Sport and the same applies to the highlights show.

“The club game in England is booming with a 9% rise in attendances this season and a 44% increase in audiences watching Premiership Rugby since the league started broadcasting on BT Sport. This is coupled with a huge growth in our TV audiences around the world – Premiership Rugby is now available in 200 countries, reaching more than 175 million households globally.

“The 2017-18 season will be the 21st in Premiership Rugby history so what a way to celebrate that milestone than to have both BT Sport and Channel 5 broadcasting the best and most competitive league in the world.”

Ben Ami: Why Japan’s failing is a warning to West

It is looking increasingly likely that other advanced economies will follow Japan in suffering a protracted downturn as a result of failing to promote economic restructuring.

FS Daniel Ben Ami DBA byline

The news that Japan is holding an election on 16 December reminded me of the biggest surprise I have ever encountered in covering economics. That is the extreme difficulty the Asian country has had in overcoming the effects of the bursting of its “bubble economy” of the 1980s.

This question is not simply of historical interest. Not only is Japan the world’s third largest economy but in some respects its past could signal the future for the other advanced economies.

It looks increasingly like the economic problems of North America and Western Europe could become protracted in a similar way to those of Japan. The Japanese authorities pioneered some of the main techniques being used to counteract the effects of the crisis, such as quantitative easing.

Clearly Japan has some features that mark it out from other advanced economies. For instance, the country was rebuilt by the US more than any other after the second world war. Japan’s traditional business conglomerates (Zaibatsu) were broken up by the occupation authorities and its old-style militarist institutions were replaced by a constitutional monarchy. But in many respects Japan’s more recent experience is similar to that of the other advanced economies.

To those without a long memory or a keen interest in history the story of Japan’s dramatic economic reversal is little known. Back in the 1980s it was widely argued that by about the turn of the century it would overtake the US to become the world’s largest economic power.

There were countless articles, books and television programmes predicting Japan’s imminent rise to global pre-eminence. It is hard to believe but back then China was seen as a mere footnote in the debate.

Such predictions were not entirely foolish. If the economic growth rates of the 1980s for Japan and the US had continued the Asian power would indeed have risen to a pre-eminent position.

To be sure there were clear signs of economic trouble emerging in Japan by the late 1980s. Property and equity prices became grossly inflated. That was where the term “bubble economy” came from. One of the most frequently quoted statistics at the time was that the grounds of Tokyo’s Imperial Palace were worth more than the entire state of California.

The surprise then was not that the bubble burst but that Japan had so much difficulty reinvigorating itself. Even now the economy is a long way from regaining the dynamism it exhibited before 1990.

FS 2611 Perspective

Not that I was alone in being surprised by this failure to recover. Many fund managers have repeatedly predicted a Japanese revival while journalists have often written along similar lines. Typically the headlines of such articles have headlines such as “the sun also rises” or “the sun will rise again”. Sumo wrestlers are also a popular image used to suggest that the Japanese giant would fight back.

With the benefit of hindsight it is clear, at least in outline, what went wrong. The government did not comprise, as many western commentators assumed, of closet militarists who wanted to return to the imperial 1930s. On the contrary, it had an excessively timid political leadership which, if anything, was desperate to please the US. It was well suited to managing Japan during boom times but had no experience of dealing with a concerted downturn.

Japan’s problems began to become apparent in the 1980s. Back in 1985 Japan agreed at an international summit known as the Plaza accord to strengthen the yen against the dollar. The US was complaining that its economy was suffering as a result of unfair competition from Japan’s mighty export machine.

Japan’s corrective measures provided a short-term boost for the US but they also gave added impetus to the emergence of its domestic bubble economy. Tokyo’s decision to keep interest rates low helped bolster the country’s speculative frenzy.

But Japan’s biggest mistakes made were in the 1990s. The authorities seemed much keener on dealing with the fall-out of the financial crisis than tackling economic lethargy.

Relative to the substantial size of the economy there was little restructuring. Japan’s politicians were reluctant to move away from set of industries and practices that had proved so successful in the past.

Instead they pursued policies that should appear familiar to those in the West. Japan tried high public spending, low interest rates and, in 2001, introduced quantitative easing.

Yet it has remained trapped in what Richard Koo, the chief economist at the Nomura Research Institute, has called a “balance sheet recession”. Its firms are more interested in paying down debt rather than striving for future growth.

Over two decades since the advent of the crisis the country is still caught in an economic rut. This is despite the rise of China which, in economic terms at least, should have provided a large boost for Japan.

Japan’s plight cannot be explained adequately by pointing to its cultural uniqueness. It is rather simply an extreme form of the challenge already facing the other developed countries.

Japan has long suffered from sluggish growth, an indecisive political elite and a reluctance to promote economic restructuring. All of these failures should be familiar to anyone living in the US or UK.

Tech funds deliver 70% for F&C investment trust in annual results

Technology investment trusts from Polar Capital and Allianz have each delivered over 70 per cent to performance in the F&C Managed Portfolio Trust in the last financial year; however, its fund manager has warned on potential bumps ahead in the low volatility environment.

The investment trusts were the top performers for the £65.3m growth portfolio where NAV increased 26.4 per cent over the year, while private equity investment trusts delivered the strongest returns in the £58.2m income portfolio, which returned 24.5 per cent.

The FTSE All Share benchmark returned 24.5 per cent over the period ending 31 May.

Polar Capital Technology Trust and Allianz Technology Trust returned 69.3 per cent and 69.2 per cent respectively, while the Tech, Media and Telecoms sector returned 69.4 per cent over the period, according to FE data.

The investment trusts are the largest and third largest holdings respectively, accounting for 3.6 per cent and 3.1 per cent respectively, while the Monks Investment Trust rounds out the top three with 3.4 per cent.

Tech stocks have delivered strong returns in the first half this year, helping the majority of US active funds to enjoy a rare winning streak to outperform the market, according to Bank of America Merrill Lynch.

In the income portfolio the Princess Private Equity Holding delivered a 59 per cent return and NB Private Equity Partners gained 58 per cent.

F&C Managed Portfolio Trust fund manager Peter Hewitt says: “An important element of the long term investment strategy for F&C Managed Portfolio Trust is to maintain exposure to sectors which offer genuine secular growth opportunities such as technology, biotechnology and healthcare.”

However, Hewitt warns that with volatility at such low levels setbacks, when they occur, could be “sharp and uncomfortable”.

“That said, the global outlook remains constructive for equity markets. In terms of investment strategy, further progress from current levels is likely to be driven by earnings growth and not multiple expansion and, in this regard, that should favour Europe, Asia Pacific and Emerging Markets over the more highly rated US market.”

The investment trust has increased its dividend for its sixth consecutive year by 4.8 per cent to 5.45p.

Dividend yield on income shares is now 3.9 per cent, compared to 3.5 per cent in the FTSE All-Share Index.

The income portfolio took on £5m in gearing in the second half of the financial year at a rate of just over 2 per cent annually fixed for five years. The gearing for the portfolio sits at 8.7 per cent.

Shakira Is a Runaway Bride in "Empire" Video

This girl is on fire as she flees the altar in her latest video

Shakira's 10th studio album drops today—read our complete album guide here—and she's kicking off her promotional week with the video for her rock ballad "Empire."

The visual kicks off with a demure Shakira playing a bride walking down the aisle before getting cold feet and fleeing into the countryside. The Latin star then turns into the "She Wolf" we all know and love, running barefoot through the countryside while lighting her wedding dress on fire.

While it doesn't co-star Rihanna like her last vid, every scene is loaded with hair flips, flashes of bare thighs and cleavage... i.e., Shakira playing off her best physical assets. No wonder she's the most liked person on Facebook.

And as per Gerard Pique's curious demand that Shakira "no longer do videos with men," there's no man candy in this music video, just a few random guys in the background.

Rick Sammon's Croton-Creative Workshop

I've spent the past couple of days participating in Rick Sammon's "Croton Creative" photography workshop. I have to say this has been about the best workshop experience I've ever had. And I think that everyone else participating in the workshop would agree. Rick and Susan Sammon go out of their way to make sure that everyone has a good time and gets the most from their time in the workshop.

One thing that was unique in my experience was how important the interpersonal aspect of the workshop was to Rick. I think he took as much time getting to know everyone as he did teaching. We all left feeling as if we'd been friends for years. In a Facebook post yesterday, I commented that "I really had a blast, met some really great new friends, and I even learned a few things along the way."

A good bit of what I took away from the workshop was software related. Two things in Lightroom that had been evading me was using the graduated filter and the "paintbrush" tool. And, I had been avoiding Photoshop's merge to panorama automation tool like the plague.

Rick showed us just how easy it is to make panoramas, and to do some really fun effects like this quick one I did of our model, Paula (on participant did one with six Paulas. This particular image shows the Photoshop pano, obviously, but also use of the Lightroom graduated filter.

I also learned a lot about working with HDR software. In previous versions of this blog, I've written about HDR numerous times, mostly griping about "over-doing it" with the controls. I like the concept of HDR, and I will still try to avoid some of that "over cooked" look. But, I also learned that there are some times when a little bit of over doing it really works. The key, though is in learning to use the myriad of controls -- or rather, which tools to use in Photomatix or Nik HDR Efex Pro, and which tools to not use. As it turns out, there are many, many parts of making an effect HDR that are better left to Photoshop or Lightroom.

As with most workshop leaders, Rick does mention certain products that he recommends. He's a big fan of Nik software. I've historically not been a fan of Nik products, but I have purchased Snapseed, and find it a joy to use. I presently use a selection of plugins from Topaz, because I found them easier to use and less expensive to own (I can use my Topaz software on both PC and Mac with the same license. That said, Nik does offer some unique advantages over other, similar products, most notably their "control points" for local adjustments. I may consider adding the Nik tools to my arsenal once I get the money. Unlike many other workshop leaders, Rick does not bombard participants with a "you have to buy this to be any good" message. He'll certainly tell you that there are products that will make your life easier -- that's what Photoshop and Lightroom plug-ins are for -- but not that they're absolutely required.

Another thing that I've been doing for some time that Rick offered some structured insight to is balancing flash against ambient light -- making flash photographs that don't look like flash photographs. The techniques require having an assistant or two around and/or some specialized equipment (some, I already own), but the results can be really pleasing.

What I did get to experience, thanks to having Donna's camera available, was being able to use the Phottix Odin TTL wireless remote system. The Phottix Odin is very similar to the ubiquitous Pocket Wizard system, at a lower price. It allows you to control flash levels and ratio for up to three channels. The biggest deal to me is that Odin is available with the Minolta/Sony flash shoe (Nikon and Canon versions are also available). Someone else at the workshop commented that another advantage over the Pocket Wizard is that Odin works reliably. Having never used a Pocket Wizard, I can't comment on that, so I'll just pass that along for what it's worth. Phottix also have some more basic trigger systems available for those on a budget.

Now, here's my hard-sell "commercial." If you want are a photographer who wants to improve you craft, make the opportunity to join Rick on a workshop. He even conducts free photowalks, and while I haven't attended one, I'm sure they're amazing. You can find out about everything Rick Sammon at this web site: http://www.ricksammon.info and on his Facebook pages.

Guiding is for all girls

“The other girls in Brownies don’t see her as any different”

No matter what their individual circumstances, all girls can join in the fun and adventure of guiding. Parent Katie, shares her daughter’s story and why girls with additional needs shouldn’t be put off joining.

“My daughter Prunella has spastic quadriplegic cerebral palsy and is mostly nonverbal so needs lots of help but that didn’t stop me wanting her to get involved with Girlguiding. When I was younger I was also a member of Girlguiding so I was keen for her to have the exact same opportunities I had.

She joined Rainbows when she was 5 and made lots of good friends – they’ve recently all moved up to Brownies together. As long as Prunella’s surrounded by her friends she’s happy and that’s why unit meetings are such a joy for her to attend. The other girls have grown up with her, accept her and always include her – they don’t see her as any different. This allows me to take a step back and let her be independent.

Prunella loves all the activities at Brownies, whether it’s simple games, badge work or camping trips. The highlight of her year so far was getting to go to Rise to the Challenge at Glamis Castle – everyone made such an effort to include her. Prunella’s unit hired a wheelchair accessible bus and there was even a changing tent!

My relationship with Prunella’s Leaders is fantastic – they keep me in the loop with everything and I’m there each week to help out. I would definitely encourage anyone who has a child with additional needs to join as Girlguiding Scotland is such an incredibly inclusive organisation. My advice would be to find out more about units near you and take it from there because we’ve never looked back.

Join now

We believe in being fair, open and inclusive so if your daughter has additional needs and you have any questions about joining then please get in touch today and read our open to all policy here. There is also funding available for members with disabilities.

Why is my ex boyfriend mad at me? Stupid?

My ex boyfriend and i have been broken up for 9 months now. He texted me back in may we talked for a while and that was it. I go on about my life. A few weeks later I block his number because my bday was coiming up and I didn't wanna deal with him. Plus I doubt he was gonna text me.

So now I go to talk to him and he just gives me the cold shoulder. Being rude and ignoring me. So I go look at my phone bill and he did tetxed me while I blocked his number BUT we are broken up I dont owe him anything. I feel it is SO stiupid being mad at me cause I ignored his text message. Anything could have happened.

Most Helpful Guy

  • You blocked him, then wanted to talk to him.

    And you can't see why he's upset?

    I guess I've figured out why you two broke up...

Most Helpful Girl

  • No, You certainly do Not... Owe him anything.
    However, with an "EX" who many times still Marks his X in his own heart, he has motive in mind with all the time when He... Did Text me.
    You may have slightly kept the ball rolling when 'He texted me back in may we talked for awhile' and then when you went and Blocked him from your life like that, he became irritated.
    He may still want to be friends with or without benefits and may have even thought he had a shot. However, with your 'Bday coming up,' he realized to His Surprise that the joke was on him and You... Didn't wanna deal with him.
    Now he is having a hissy fit with putting you on his pay no mind list. He may have even though that being it was around Your Special day, he and you would have gotten together and now he is behaving in this Rude and crude way.
    He may still feel sort of Territorial, being you were once these two birds of a feather. But being you are Not Stuck together, he knows he has to get used to the fact that the relationship went south and Now... I go on about my life.
    Good luck and Happy birthday. xx

Have an opinion?

What Guys Said 2

  • Yes, it's stupid for him to be mad. Nine months is a long time to be broken up. It's over and you don't owe him anything, but why did you talk to him after all this time, and why do you care that he ignores you? It's over, just don't deal with him, but don't demand he be happy about it.

  • What was the break up about?

What Girls Said 1

  • Either you talk to him or you don't. Just because you are not in a relationship doesn't mean you can just play with people. You are wrong.

Alexandra Flament

Alexandra Flament  (born Magnusson in 1974 in Gothenburg Sweden), spent hours and hours in her grandmothers atelier, watching ,drawing, painting, trying different materials.  She tried her way with different schooling in dressmaking, art, interior design and as a florist. 1996 she opened a flower shop and put all her heart and effort in there.  In2004 she moved to Brussels.

During all the time she had her atelier continuing painting but she always had difficulties calling herself an Artist. Maybe because there is so much judgment in the word. Whom is an artist? When do you become an artist? She does what she does because it is something that makes her feel complete, it is part of her life puzzle. If she don’t paint she is unhappy. It is as simple as that.

She loves creating beautiful environments, beautiful flower arrangements, and love painting in general.  The collection of paintings you see in the Chapel during the auction is her way of putting these elements together.  They are all painted during 2016-2017, Acrylics on canvas.

What Alexandra says about the ukulele:

I am honoured to be part of the Music found project. When I was asked to decorate one of the Ukuleles I was very happy and as I am in my flower period at the moment it was obviouse it would be a Flower Ukulele, I also find the mix of music and flowers natural and wonderful.

My way to paint flowers is inspired by the barock and dutch renaissance way of painting, I love the dark mystical way the flowers appear in the picture. The Ukulele is first painted black and then decorated with the flowers. The back is slightly sanded to make the paint stick better. I have used Acrylics as it is the medium I am used to workng with. The Ukulele is then varnished.I hope this piece will make someone happy and that it will be used both as an instrument and a decoration. And hopefully it will bring happiness to less fortunate people in another part of the world.

    Iomega has launched the Iomega Desktop HDD 160 GB USB 2.0 Desktop Hard Drive as a successor to the 120 GB Desktop HDD.

    Designed for the desktop with 7200 RPM performance and "touch-free" backup software, the new external HDD 160 GB Desktop Hard Drive hopes to give users a solution for managing music, photos, video and other data files.

    The USB 2.0 drive includes a full version of the Iomega Automatic Backup software for advanced real-time backup. With Iomega Automatic Backup software, backups are automatic and "touch-free", which means that users do not have to remember to push a button or run a program. They can simply select the files and folders to protect, set the backup schedule. Iomega Automatic Backup software promises to do the rest.

    The back-up software includes features like enabling touch-free backups whenever a file changes, allowing personalized backup schedules, supporting multiple backup locations, saving multiple file revisions, supporting DVD, CD, hard drives, network drives, and solid-state memory cards.

Premium Cigars

Smoking premium cigars is undoubtedly a relaxing and enjoyable past time, but it also requires time and dedication. Cigar aficionados have a journey ahead of them when finding their perfect cigar match. To find the cigar you enjoy the most, you need to discover your preferred flavor, strength and size. These imperative attributes can help define which tobaccos you will enjoy and which you will dislike. The length of time you want to smoke is important when considering the size of the cigar. As a beginner, you may want to start with shorter, Robusto type vitolas like Padron 2000 Natural and Camacho Connecticut Rubusto. New smokers might want to avoid Churchill and Presidente size cigars at first because of the length of time it takes to smoke and their strength. These types of cigars include Arturo Fuente Canones Natural and Romeo Y Julieta 1875 Churchill. Knowledge of the different types of wrappers is also essential when it comes to choosing your cigar. Wrappers have a big influence on how the cigar actually tastes. A mild, natural wrapper, like the one found on Ashton 898Baccarat Toro and Oliva Connecticut Reserve Robusto might be best for a beginner’s palate, while a darker Maduro wrapper found on Oliva Serie V Melanio Torpedo Maduro and Partagas Black Label Maximo might be preferred by experienced smokers.

To fully enjoy your premium beauties, there are several elements to consider and a few points to keep in mind. One of the main points is to always remember not to inhale. Make sure to cut the cap of the cigar with a high-quality cutter to protect the cigar from distortion. When it comes to lighting up, you need the proper tool. Use wooden matches or an odorless butane torch lighter to light your smoke. This will ensure that the taste remains unaltered. Are you planning on storing your cigars longer than a week? If you are, then you must use a humidor or an alternative humidification device. Gotham Cigars stocks the best premium cigar brands including Alec Bradley, Liga Privada, and Arturo Fuente. Now it's time to sit back, relax and enjoy your favorite cigar!

Business Income Manual

Meaning of trade: mutual trading and members clubs: mutual associations: specific activities: NHS doctors’ co-operatives: varieties

Many and various

The term ‘doctors’ co-operative’ covers organisations which range from those providing little more than the administration of on-call rotas between neighbouring practices, to co-operatives (particularly in big cities) that are large and have negotiated bulk deals with commercial deputising services. The term may also apply both to co-operatives contracting with Primary Care Trusts or Primary Care Organisations to provide out-of-hours care and to a co-operative providing such care on behalf of its members. In the latter case, members pay to benefit from the co-operative’s services and are themselves paid for the work that they do for the co-operative. The typical such co-operative is owned and staffed by General Practitioner (GP) principals. A GP using the co-operative to provide out-of-hours cover pays a fee for the service. The doctors working for the co-operative are most often paid a session rate, so much per shift worked.

Local Health Authorities have allocated funds to reimburse any non-doctor costs of a GP’s membership of a co-operative. Such costs may, for example, include communication equipment (pagers, telephones, fax machines, etc), premises, non-medical staff costs and so on. Equipment costs are likely to be capital. Capital contributions by the GP to the co-operative will not be allowable.

For administrative convenience, payment may be made direct to the co-operative. But the reality is that the payments belong to the individual GP who may then pay them to the co-operative together with the balance of their contributions for the services that they receive. In strictness the payments from the Local Health Authority should be shown in the GP’s own (or partnership) accounts, either as a professional receipt or netted off against payments to the co-operative.

It is essential that you establish all of the facts before venturing an opinion as to whether the co-operative carries on a trade and if such trade is a mutual trade.

Inheritance Tax Manual

Lifetime transfers - additional conditions: Introduction

The additional conditions for deciding whether business relief is due on lifetime transfers (IHTM14000) made on or after 18 March 1986 and within seven years of the transferor’s death are contained in IHTA84/S113A and IHTA84/S113B. The conditions are designed to deny relief in connection with charges arising on the transferor’s death if, broadly, the transferee has disposed of the business asset without replacement or if it is no longer relevant business property (IHTM25141).
As the name suggests, the conditions are additional, so it is an essential preliminary that

  • where the transfer is a failed potentially exempt transfer (PET) (IHTM04057) that it would have qualified for relief at the time it was made,

  • where the transfer was immediately chargeable (IHTM04067), that it did then qualify for relief.

The conditions apply to affect

  • the value transferred by a PET, IHTA84/S113A (1)

  • the additional tax payable on an immediately chargeable transfer following the transferor’s death within seven years of the transfer, IHTA84/S113A(2).

The additional conditions do not apply to gifts with reservation (IHTM25381) where the reservation was still in existence at the date of death because there are separate rules that apply to this type of gift. But they will apply where the gift has ceased to be one with reservation so that the donor is treated as having made a deemed PET during their lifetime.
The rate of relief (whether the higher or lower rate) and the value on which it is given are determined by reference to the original gift and the position at that time. But if the value of the rate of relief has changed, as it did in 1992 and in 1996, it is the rate at the date of death that applies.

International Manual

UK residents with foreign income or gains: dividends: Dividends received by UK companies on or after 31 March 2001: eligible unrelieved foreign tax - group surrender

The legislation relating to onshore pooling was repealed for distributions paid on or after 1 July 2009.

Eligible Unrelieved Foreign Tax (EUFT) can be surrendered within a group. Two companies are deemed to be members of the same group if one is a 75% subsidiary of the other or both are 75% subsidiaries of a third company. The Regulations (SI 2001/1163) do not apply to consortium companies. The companies must be in the same group throughout the surrendering company’s accounting period in which the EUFT available for surrender arises.

A company can only surrender any EUFT arising in a year (including EUFT brought forward) that remains after it has fully utilised its EUFT in the current or previous years or, if it chooses not to utilise the EUFT in this way, the amount that would have remained had it done so. A company can surrender EUFT brought forward as the amount is treated as arising in the later period.

A claimant company can claim all or part of the amount of any available EUFT from the surrendering company. The EUFT will then be treated as the claimant company’s own EUFT for all purposes.

To accommodate the position when group companies’ accounts are not coterminous, the surrendered tax is treated as if it arose on a dividend received by the claimant company and the dividend is treated as arising in that one of the claimant company’s accounting periods in which falls the last day of the surrendering company’s accounting period.

A dual resident company may surrender foreign tax to another company in the same group as from 5th December 2001.

The time limit for claim and surrender is the same as for all claims to utilise EUFT. The normal time limits relating to the amending of a company’s tax return do not apply to making or withdrawing a claim for EUFT.

There are special rules relating to companies carrying on life assurance business, which are covered in Chapter 14A of the Life Assurance Manual.

The CT return CT600 provides a section to surrender and claim EUFT within a group. Any problems in interpretation should be referred to Business International, Outward Investment team.
