1. Introduction
With the introduction of the internet and online purchasing, electronic commerce (ie. any form of transaction carried out in an electronic medium) provides a fundamentally new way of conducting commercial transactions. Its advent has caused accepted ways of doing business to be profoundly modified: traditional intermediaries can be replaced (the process being known as intermediation), new products and markets have been created, and new and more direct relationships will be forged between businesses and consumers. This may be particularly so where the product or service can itself be delivered online; knowledge information and financial services are classic examples.
Whilst still in its embryonic stage care must be exercised not to over-regulate electronic commerce. At the same time well publicised incidents of internet fraud, if left to persist, are likely to mean that mainstream consumers and businesses will not widely adopt e-commerce unless measures to promote confidence are introduced.
It was with these issues in mind that the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) have, in the last couple of years, held several conferences to highlight the problems of electronic commerce and to suggested possible solutions. Amongst many issues raised two will be dealt with in this bulletin; the taxation of e-commerce, and the legal repercussions of e-commerce.
2. Taxation of E-commerce
2.1 Introduction
The OECD has recognised that the assessment and collection of taxes on e-commerce transactions are an issue that concerns both government and business. The OECD feels that countries should be able to interpret and apply existing rules in an internationally consistent fashion to collect taxes from electronic commerce successfully. However, some issues do need to be resolved.
2.2 The nature of the income generated from e-commerce
The question as to whether income should be taxed in the country of residence or the country of source depends, in the first instance, on the character of the income involved (for example, is the income in the nature of sales of goods, provision of services or income from royalties). Any information that can be digitised e.g. computer programmes, books, music or images, can be transferred electronically between countries for a fee. The problem, however, is that a transaction involving, for example, a downloaded digital image, could be seen as either the equivalent of purchasing a physical photograph and results in business profits, or that it is a service and results in royalty income.
Currently the business sector supports e-commerce transactions being treated as a royalty as defined by Article 12 of the OECD Model Tax Convention and favours its application not only to software but to all digitised material like books, periodicals, videos etc.
However, if treated as royalty income, the OECD Model Convention does not allow source taxation of royalties, but a number of tax treaties allow source taxation, such as Spain and Australia.
In contrast to the business sector view, since the OECD conferences the Revenue Commissioners (the competent tax authority in the Republic of Ireland) have published a report entitled "Electronic Commerce and the Irish tax system" which categorically states that the Irish Revenue would treat the online supply of digitised product as the supply of a service.
If, as is suggested by the Irish, the income is treated as income from the sale of goods or the provision of services then under current tax laws the income is only subject to source taxation where the seller or provider has a permanent establishment in the source country. However within the context of e-commerce this issue of permanent establishment causes further problems.
2.3 Residence and permanent establishment
International tax conventions generally provide that business profits of non-resident enterprises may only be taxed in a country to the extent that they are attributable to a permanent establishment of the enterprise in that country.
Article 5 of the OECD Model Tax Convention defines "permanent establishment", however the application of this definition raises a number of issues in regard to e-commerce:
a) The basic condition for the existence of a permanent establishment is that it constitutes a "fixed place of business through which the business of an enterprise is wholly or partly carried on". (Article 5(1)). The issue for e-commerce is whether this condition is satisfied by a website on a server owned or used by a foreign enterprise, bearing in mind that there would not necessarily be any employees of the enterprise present in the country in which the website or server is located.
b) The permanent establishment rules allow business premises used for preparatory and auxiliary activities to escape classification as a permanent establishment (Article 5(4)). If the functions carried on at a website or server are such that they do not constitute a permanent establishment due to this rule, there is still a need to consider the tax implications of other activities carried on at that site (for example, how to tax profits arising on the lease of excess capacity on a server to allow another business to operate a website.)
c) If a foreign Internet Service Provider has established servers in a country (but carries on no other commercial activities in that country) then the mere presence of the equipment should not constitute a permanent establishment. It has also been pointed out that the mobility of the equipment means that the providers of electronic services can move equipment quite rapidly, if they see fit, and thereby avoid any attempt to apply the permanent establishment rules.
The US Department of the Treasury: Office of Tax Policy, published a White Paper on the issue in November 1996. It advocates the primacy of residence as a basis for taxation and as such would not regard a website or its computer server as a permanent establishment.
In support of this is a recent German case where the Regional Finance Office of Karlsruhe issued a decree on whether the installation of an internet server by a German resident entrepreneur in a foreign country creates a permanent establishment in that foreign country for German tax purposes. The decree stated that the "Foreign Tax Relations" section of the federal state and the Lander had decided that, for the time being, the installation of an Internet server is to be treated as a preparatory act under Art. 5(4) of the OECD Model Convention and not as a permanent establishment.
Clearly if there is an intention to adopt current tax laws then a decision must be made of how the income is to be recognised. Currently each appear to have its own pitfalls.
The same source and residence issues are just as important for VAT purposes, though there is the added issue of rating. Electronic commerce raises particularly difficult questions for VAT, as the vast majority of the services concerned are normally taxed at a positive rate of VAT when supplied for domestic consumption and at a zero rate for export.
The OECD has suggested a possible solution is that "goods" or services delivered electronically should be considered as transactions taking place in a tariff-free zone (ie. free of customs duties). This appears, at first, to be consistent with current law. For computer software, for example, tariffs are imposed on the value of the media (e.g. the value of the computer disk or tape) but not on the value of the software contained on it. In an electronic transaction the medium no longer exists and logically therefore such tariffs should not be applied.
However, in the UK, the purchase of a book on-line in a digitised form is treated as a service and, under current rules, subject to VAT at a standard rate of 17.5%. In contrast, the same book ordered online but delivered physically would be zero-rated for VAT.
2.5 Use of Tax Certificates
A possible solution to these issues may be the use of certificates issued by a certification authority to inform the seller and buyer of the jurisdiction applicable to that transaction. While potentially feasible, there is some question about the practicality of such solutions. They could place a large administrative burden on merchants to calculate, collect and transfer taxes on what often are low-value, high volume products (such as CD`s). Other technology solutions may be found to help with the identity problem and administrative procedures, and there is already software available for calculating multi-jurisdictional tax obligations.
3. Legal consequences of E-commerce
3.1 Certification
With the need for contracts to be signed, the growing use of e-commerce has raised the issue of how electronic contracts are to be made legally binding. This is an issue that has been raised in connection with transactions in and for financial services such as life assurance.
The need for secure technologies, most notably cryptography, and a predictable regulatory environment to support them will be required for building business and consumer trust in electronic transactions. Digital signatures, electronic signatures, and electronic representations that link individuals and entities to operations in the electronic environment are less meaningful without accompanying certification mechanisms, ie. means of independently verifying information about transactions and transacting parties.
As mentioned earlier the OECD has suggested the introduction of a certification authority (CA) that can act as an independent trusted means of determining that factual information is verifiably connected to a transacting party. It could certify at least six types of information to provide a basis for confidence in electronic transactions: identification and registration, user attributes, compliance with standards, authorisation to act, transactional information, or applicable laws.
A number of issues need to be considered when developing policies for certification mechanisms and certification authorities. Due attention should be paid to clarifying the responsibilities and the liability of entities that certify information. Also, because certification processes can generate vast quantities of data, issues related to the protection of privacy and personal data also need to be considered. Finally, a framework for supporting the international interoperability of certification mechanisms and the mutual recognition of certification authorities needs to be developed.
To this end the European Council of Ministers has tried to address this issue with a recent directive. The directive states that, "Member states shall ensure that their legislation allows contracts to be concluded electronically" by introducing a framework for electronic signatures. Under the directive, "certification-service-providers" will be able to issue certificates, defined as "an electronic attestation which links signature-verification data to a person and confirms the identity of that person". The certification-service-providers cannot be made subject to prior authorisation, but member states will be able to introduce or maintain voluntary accreditation schemes aimed at enhanced levels of certification-service provision. Member states will not be able to restrict the provision of such services by providers in other member states.
The directive also contains an article on the legal effects of electronic signatures, stating that members states are to ensure that electronic signatures based on a qualified certificate and which are created by a secure signature-creation device satisfy the legal requirements of a signature in the same way as handwritten signatures and that they are admissible as evidence in legal proceedings. In addition, member states are to ensure that an electronic signature is not denied legal effectiveness and admissibility as evidence in legal proceedings solely on the grounds that it is in electronic form, is not based on a qualified certificate or is not created by a secure signature-creation device.
3.2 Legal disputes
For international electronic commerce, the usefulness of courts for resolving problem transactions may be limited, and appropriate dispute settlement mechanisms will therefore have to be found. The most promising appears to be the financial intermediary, because it can, in many cases, reverse the financial portion of a transaction under appropriate circumstances (e.g. mistake, non-delivery, delivery of the wrong item) and therefore arbitrate disputes efficiently. This ability to "charge back" a transaction also gives merchants a strong incentive to ensure high levels of consumer satisfaction at the outset: payment card associations can and do drop merchants with too frequent charge backs.
In the United States the chargeback mechanisms are partly responsible for high confidence in telephone shopping among consumers and its enormous growth. Extensions of chargeback principles to international electronic commerce will be important for developing similar levels of confidence in this new medium.
4. Comment
The legal issues raised by electronic commerce do not appear as insurmountable as those raised by its taxation.
Although the OECD believe that it is possible to adapt current tax laws to e-commerce, it can be seen that even the most fundamental issues of current tax law are "stumbling blocks" for e-commerce. Whilst e-commerce is in its embryonic stage one must wonder whether it is more prudent to start afresh and create a completely new basis of taxation to be adopted by all countries, rather than to homogenise current, often conflicting laws already in existence. Either way what one must realise is that significant time must be spent on deciding the best course of action for such issues. With a basis of taxation that can affect world wide commerce rather than just national dealings any mistakes or loopholes will become far more difficult to deal with.

and it was her very own.
Tommy knew where there was money, and it was his very own.
Elspeth would not tell how much she had, and it was twopence halfpenny.
Neither would Tommy tell, and it was twopence.
Tommy would get a surprise on his birthday.
So would Elspeth get a surprise on her birthday.
Elspeth would not tell what the surprise was to be, and it was to be a
Tommy also must remain mute, and it was to be a box of dominoes.
Elspeth did not want dominoes.
Tommy knew that, but he wanted them.
Elspeth discovered that guns cost fourpence, and dominoes threepence
halfpenny; it seemed to her, therefore, that Tommy was defrauding her of
a halfpenny.
Tommy liked her cheek. You got the dominoes for threepence halfpenny,
but the price on the box is fivepence, so that Elspeth would really owe
him a penny.
This led to an agonizing scene in which Elspeth wept while Tommy told
her sternly about Reddy. It had become his custom to tell the tale of
Reddy when Elspeth was obstreperous.
Then followed a scene in which Tommy called himself a scoundrel for
frightening his dear Elspeth, and swore that he loved none but her.
Result: reconciliation, and agreed, that instead of a gun and dominoes,
they should buy a porous plaster. You know the shops where the plasters
are to be obtained by great colored bottles in their windows, and, as it
was advisable to find the very best shop, Tommy and Elspeth in their
wanderings came under the influence of the bottles, red, yellow, green,
and blue, and color entered into their lives, giving them many delicious
thrills. These bottles are the first poem known to the London child, and
you chemists who are beginning to do without them in your windows should
be told that it is a shame.
In the glamour, then, of the romantic battles walked Tommy and Elspeth
hand in hand, meeting so many novelties that they might have spared a
tear for the unfortunate children who sit in nurseries surrounded by all
they ask for, and if the adventures of these two frequently ended in the
middle, they had probably begun another while the sailor-suit boy was
still holding up his leg to let the nurse put on his little sock. While
they wandered, they drew near unwittingly to the enchanted street, to
which the bottles are a colored way, and at last they were in it, but
Tommy recognized it not; he did not even feel that he was near it, for
there were no outside stairs, no fairies strolling about, it was a short
street as shabby as his own.
But someone had shouted "Dinna haver, lassie; you're blethering!"
Tommy whispered to Elspeth, "Be still; don't speak," and he gripped her
hand tighter and stared at the speaker. He was a boy of ten, dressed
like a Londoner, and his companion had disappeared. Tommy never doubting
but that he was the sprite of long ago, gripped him by the sleeve. All
the savings of Elspeth and himself were in his pocket, and yielding to
impulse, as was his way, he thrust the fivepence halfpenny into James
Gloag's hand. The new millionaire gaped, but not at his patron, for the
why and wherefore of this gift were trifles to James beside the
tremendous fact that he had fivepence halfpenny. "Almichty me!" he cried
and bolted. Presently he returned, having deposited his money in a safe
place, and his first remark was perhaps the meanest on record. He held
out his hand and said greedily, "Have you ony mair?"
This, you feel certain, must have been the most important event of that
evening, but strange to say, it was not. Before Tommy could answer
James's question, a woman in a shawl had pounced upon him and hurried
him and Elspeth out of the street. She had been standing at a corner
looking wistfully at the window blinds behind which folk from Thrums
passed to and fro, hiding her face from people in the street, but gazing
eagerly after them. It was Tommy's mother, whose first free act on
coming to London had been to find out that street, and many a time since
them site had skulked through it or watched it from dark places, never
daring to disclose herself, but sometimes recognizing familiar faces,
sometimes hearing a few words in the old tongue that is harsh and
ungracious to you, but was so sweet to her, and bearing them away with
her beneath her shawl as if they were something warm to lay over her
cold heart.
For a time she upbraided Tommy passionately for not keeping away from
this street, but soon her hunger for news of Thrums overcame her
prudence, and she consented to let him go back if he promised never to
tell that his mother came from Thrums. "And if ony-body wants to ken
your name, say it's Tommy, but dinna let on that it's Tommy Sandys."
"Elspeth," Tommy whispered that night, "I'm near sure there's something
queer about my mother and me and you." But he did not trouble himself
with wondering what the something queer might be, so engrossed was he in
the new and exciting life that had suddenly opened to him.
In Thrums Street, as it ought to have been called, herded at least
one-half of the Thrums folk in London, and they formed a colony, of
which the grocer at the corner sometimes said wrathfully that not a
member would give sixpence for anything except Bibles or whiskey. In the
streets one could only tell they were not Londoners by their walk, the
flagstones having no grip for their feet, or, if they had come south
late in life, by their backs, which they carried at the angle on which
webs are most easily supported. When mixing with the world they talked
the English tongue, which came out of them as broad as if it had been
squeezed through a mangle, but when the day's work was done, it was only
a few of the giddier striplings that remained Londoners. For the
majority there was no raking the streets after diversion, they spent the
hour or two before bed-time in reproducing the life of Thrums. Few of
them knew much of London except the nearest way between this street and
their work, and their most interesting visitor was a Presbyterian
minister, most of whose congregation lived in much more fashionable
parts, but they were almost exclusively servant girls, and when
descending area-steps to visit them he had been challenged often and
jocularly by policemen, which perhaps was what gave him a subdued and
furtive appearance.
The rooms were furnished mainly with articles bought in London, but
these became as like Thrums dressers and seats as their owners could
make them, old Petey, for instance, cutting the back off a chair because
he felt most at home on stools. Drawers were used as baking-boards,
pails turned into salt-buckets, floors were sanded and hearthstones
ca'med, and the popular supper consisted of porter, hot water, and
soaked bread, after every spoonful of which, they groaned pleasantly,
and stretched their legs. Sometimes they played at the dambrod, but more
often they pulled down the blinds on London and talked of Thrums in
their mother tongue. Nevertheless few of them wanted to return to it,
and their favorite joke was the case of James Gloag's father, who being
home-sick flung up his situation and took train for Thrums, but he was
back in London in three weeks.
Tommy soon had the entry to these homes, and his first news of the
inmates was unexpected. It was that they were always sleeping. In broad
daylight he had seen Thrums men asleep on beds, and he was somewhat
ashamed of them until he heard the excuse. A number of the men from
Thrums were bakers, the first emigrant of this trade having drawn others
after him, and they slept great part of the day to be able to work all
night in a cellar, making nice rolls for rich people. Baker Lumsden, who
became a friend of Tommy, had got his place in the cellar when his
brother died, and the brother had succeeded Matthew Croall when he died.
They die very soon, Tommy learned from Lumsden, generally when they are
eight and thirty. Lumsden was thirty-six, and when he died his nephew
was to get the place. The wages are good.
Then there were several masons, one of whom, like the first baker, had
found work for all the others, and there were men who had drifted into
trades strange to their birthplace, and there was usually one at least
who had come to London to "better himself" and had not done it as yet.
The family Tommy liked best was the Whamonds, and especially he liked
old Petey and young Petey Whamond. They were a large family of women and
men, all of whom earned their living in other streets, except the old
man, who kept house and was a famous knitter of stockings, as probably
his father had been before him. He was a great one, too, at telling what
they would be doing at that moment in Thrums, every corner of which was
as familiar to him as the ins and outs of the family hose. Young Petey
got fourteen shillings a week from a hatter, and one of his duties was
to carry as many as twenty band-boxes at a time through fashionable
streets; it is a matter for elation that dukes and statesmen had often
to take the curb-stone, because young Petey was coming. Nevertheless
young Petey was not satisfied, and never would be (such is the Thrums
nature) until he became a salesman in the shop to which he acted at
present as fetch and carry, and he used to tell Tommy that this position
would be his as soon as he could sneer sufficiently at the old hats.
When gentlemen come into the shop and buy a new hat, he explained, they
put it on, meaning to tell you to send the old one to their address, and
the art of being a fashionable hatter lies in this: you must be able to
curl your lips so contemptuously at the old hat that they tell you
guiltily to keep it, as they have no further use for it. Then they
retire ashamed of their want of moral courage and you have made an extra
"But I aye snort," young Petey admitted, "and it should be done without
a sound." When he graduated, he was to marry Martha Spens, who was
waiting for him at Tillyloss. There was a London seamstress whom he
preferred, and she was willing, but it is safest to stick to Thrums.
When Tommy was among his new friends a Scotch word or phrase often
escaped his lips, but old Petey and the others thought he had picked it
up from them, and would have been content to accept him as a London waif
who lived somewhere round the corner. To trick people so simply,
however, is not agreeable to an artist, and he told them his name was
Tommy Shovel, and that his old girl walloped him, and his father found
dogs, all which inventions Thrums Street accepted as true. What is much
more noteworthy is that, as he gave them birth, Tommy half believed them
also, being already the best kind of actor.
Not all the talking was done by Tommy when he came home with news, for
he seldom mentioned a Thrums name, of which his mother could not tell
him something more. But sometimes she did not choose to tell, as when he
announced that a certain Elspeth Lindsay, of the Marywellbrae, was dead.
After this she ceased to listen, for old Elspeth had been her
grandmother, and she had now no kin in Thrums.
"Tell me about the Painted Lady," Tommy said to her. "Is it true she's a
witch?" But Mrs. Sandys had never heard of any woman so called: the
Painted Lady must have gone to Thrums after her time.
"There ain't no witches now," said Elspeth tremulously; Shovel's mother
had told her so.
"Not in London," replied Tommy, with contempt; and this is all that was
said of the Painted Lady then. It is the first mention of her in these
The people Mrs. Sandys wanted to hear of chiefly were Aaron Latta and
Jean Myles, and soon Tommy brought news of them, but at the same time he
had heard of the Den, and he said first:
"Oh, mother, I thought as you had told me about all the beauty places
in Thrums, and you ain't never told me about the Den."
His mother heaved a quick breath. "It's the only place I hinna telled
you o'," she said.
"Had you forget, it mother?"
Forget the Den! Ah, no, Tommy, your mother had not forgotten the Den.
"And, listen, Elspeth, in the Den there's a bonny spring of water called
the Cuttle Well. Had you forgot the Cuttle Well, mother?"
No, no; when Jean Myles forgot the names of her children she would still
remember the Cuttle Well. Regardless now of the whispering between Tommy
and Elspeth, she sat long over the fire, and it is not difficult to
fathom her thoughts. They were of the Den and the Cuttle Well.
Into the life of every man, and no woman, there comes a moment when he
learns suddenly that he is held eligible for marriage. A girl gives him
the jag, and it brings out the perspiration. Of the issue elsewhere of
this stab with a bodkin let others speak; in Thrums its commonest effect
is to make the callant's body take a right angle to his legs, for

We had eight of us ladies present. This was an informal meeting for all the volunteers who worked during the past 5 years for Eva's Attic. [A charity, premium second hand clothing store.]
Today's High Tea was a first for me, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Our high tea had the drink options of iced berry tea; herbal, earl grey or green tea; diet coca cola or lemon water. The iced berry tea was delicious. It was refreshing and cooling. The food was divine - all hand selected by our hostess Margaret.
The ladies in company were a delight as well - sharing our stories of how we had met as well as our tales of working in Eva's Attic. It was great to see the other volunteers who I hadn't been in contact with, as well as meeting a couple for the first time.
Image credit
I'm rather excited to see the new direction Eva's Attic is going in, moving into the online sales sphere of retail. I am also sad to see that the premises will be closing this week on Wednesday, as it has been a pleasurable work environment where I've learned to run a shop solo as well as keep my cash handling (and Eftpos) skills in check. I've enjoyed my Friday afternoon banter with Ruth, and I'll miss not seeing her smiling face. Hopefully we will all keep in touch as the store moves online.
Below are some images off my blog which I shared long ago of the shop space in Cuba Street:
These three photos below are more recent of the other shop space in the Grand Arcade (where the shop currently is, and last trading day is this Wednesday - 25th of March.)
I am sure I'll be kept busy enough soon with my university studies starting again in just under a week.

Horizon Zero Dawn graced our PlayStation 4s in 2017 and already sold over 7 million copies. With fantastic gameplay and a stunning post-apocalyptic open-world, Horizon Zero Dawn comes and goes pretty quickly, leaving fans wanting more. Gamers play as protagonist Aloy in a world ruled by tribal culture and machine animals.
Exploration and aesthetics are great in Horizon Zero Dawn but it absolutely nailed open world RPG narrative. So, you might wonder, what other games are like Horizon Zero Dawn? Where can I play more open world action RPGs similar to Horizon Zero Dawn? Here we have 10 games like Horizon Zero Dawn to keep you entertained until the sequel Horizon Zero Dawn 2.
What about a Horizon Zero Dawn Xbox One release date?
So far there is no good news on Horizon Zero Dawn for Xbox One. Horizon Zero Dawn's developer Guerilla Games are also known for the Killzone series. Sadly, Guerilla Games are owned by Sony Interactive Entertainment which makes Horizon Zero Dawn currently a PlayStation exclusive. We would all love to see a Horizon Zero Dawn port to Xbox One and PC. Even a Nintendo Switch port for Horizon Zero Dawn but there is no word on the likelihood of that yet.
Horizon Zero Dawn looks amazing on PlayStation 4 Pro and that certainly caused a stir with Microsoft. Microsoft and Xbox One are soon to release the powerful Xbox One X. News sites quickly noted Microsoft hiring a Lead Environment Artist for an AAA game. The advert specifically stated "Style: similar to Horizon Zero Dawn". Don't get your hopes up too much because it won't be Horizon Zero Dawn. However, at least there may be a new alternative coming to Xbox One X and in the meantime check out the games like Horizon Zero Dawn we've listed below.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt
You may be waiting for The Witcher 4 as well as a Horizon Zero Dawn sequel but in the meantime, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is a great substitute. Available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One, The Witcher 3 boasts a massive open world full of side quests, secret finds, and a similar character progression to Horizon Zero Dawn. While you play as main character Geralt, the action won't quite be exactly the same as with acrobatic Aloy in Horizon Zero Dawn. However, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt features a skill tree to improve your character's skill set and a deeply engaging narrative that will easily eat up hours of time. Just like Horizon Zero Dawn did, The Witcher 3 gives meaning to all the world's content. You won't find yourself running off to collect meaningless junk just for the sake of doing something.
Rise of the Tomb Raider
One of the obvious similarities between Horizon Zero Dawn and Rise of the Tomb Raider is the female protagonist. Tomb Raider was one of the first games back in the 90s to feature a female lead. Now, it's slightly more common to see a powerful, skilled woman like Aloy or Lara Croft leading a game's storyline. Rise of the Tomb Raider farewells the 90s now featuring CG characters and real-time body physics. Scale walls, dive underwater, dodge traps, craft explosives, solve puzzles and use stealth to attack or avoid enemies. Follow an ancient mystery and explore stunning, detailed tombs in addition to scavenging, hunting, and crafting to boost your skills and gear. Rise of the Tomb Raider is available on Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
Middle Earth: Shadow of War
Horizon Zero Dawn's world and that of Middle Earth Shadow of War may not seem very similar at first glance but there are some notable similarities. Middle Earth: Shadow of War has a dark, thrilling open world which is of course set in Tolkien's Middle Earth. Players have a plethora of interesting side quests in addition to the main campaign. In Middle Earth: Shadow of War you can customize your skillset as your character progresses and you fight hordes of Orcs, Uruks, and Nazgul. All a journey through a dark and gritty world on your way to Morgoth's favorite lieutenant, Sauron. There might not be any robots like in Horizon Zero Dawn. But Middle Earth has plenty of fun fantasy elements, movement, and combat to keep you entertained. Middle Earth: Shadow of War is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Monster Hunter World
Although the PC release is delayed, Monster Hunter: World released on PS4 and Xbox One on January 26, 2018. Forging action RPG elements with creature collection and an epic fantasy world, Monster Hunter World is a decent substitute for Horizon Zero Dawn. Like Horizon Zero Dawn, Capcom's Monster Hunter: World has already shipped over 7.5 million units worldwide. Hunt monsters, complete quests and explore vast landscapes in single player or multiplayer. Monster Hunter: World also features in-depth systems for upgrading gear and skills, rewarding players for exploration and patience.
Assassin's Creed Origins
Recently released, Assassin's Creed Origins comes to mind when we think of games like Horizon Zero Dawn. Assassin's Creed Origins steps it up a notch from previous installations offering huge amounts of quests including an entire underwater world to explore. Level up, loot, climb things and customize your abilities until you become the assassin you've always wanted to be.
Set in Ancient Egypt, Origins is the edition of Assassin's Creed many of us have been waiting years for. Origins takes players deep into Ancient Egyptian politics and visits well-known figures Cleopatra and Julius Caesar. Like Horizon Zero Dawn exploration is rewarded and veering off your regular path in Assassin's Creed Origins leads to great things. Exploring can gain players great loot, world lore, and secrets that are all clues to the greater picture. Get Assassin's Creed Origins now on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Enslaved Odyssey to the West
From Bandai Namco and Ninja Theory comes Enslaved: Odyssey to the West, a fantastic alternative to Horizon Zero Dawn. Set 150 years in the future, the world of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is a post-apocalyptic American future ravaged by war and destruction. Slave ships come to harvest what is left of the human population taking them far out West. Two slavers, Trip, and Monkey are linked together at Trip's will and must escape a slave ship and journey to freedom. Trip is technologically savvy while Monkey is more about brute force. This dynamic creates a complex and interesting relationship between the 2 main characters.
Similar to Horizon Zero Dawn, Enslaved grips players into an epic storyline amongst a world overtaken by nature and machina. With amazing performance capture animation by Andy Serkis bide your time waiting for more Horizon Zero Dawn by smashing through robots in the beautiful world of Enslaved: Odyssey to the West. Enslaved: Odyssey to the West is available on PC, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360.
Elex is another game with some elements that Horizon Zero Dawn shares. Straight out of THQ Nordic and Piranha Bytes, Elex blends together magic, technology, fantasy, and science fiction in a post-apocalyptic world. From the creators of Gothic, Elex is an open world action RPG where magic versus technology. Players must fight to survive after the planet, Magalan, is devastated by a meteor. Now the world's inhabitants fight each other over the precious resource Elex and players are met with deep moral choices. Experience a wide and open world full of interesting storylines. All complemented by interactions between Elex's factions, quests, skillset customization, and challenging AI combat. Elex is available on PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
Nier Automata
Nier: Automata released in March 2017 and got great reviews on game news sites as well as Steam. From Square Enix, Nier: Automata blew people away with fun and gratifying combat in addition to an interesting storyline set in a machine-driven dystopia. However, it's important to note there are some pretty negative Steam reviews now for the PC port. So Nier Automata may be a game you want to stick to console with. Regardless of that Nier: Automata tells the story of 3 androids in a battle to reclaim Earth for humanity.
In particular, Nier: Automata is packed full of fast-paced combat with a good mix of melee, ranged, and evasion combat. Fight through multiple maps, bosses, and hordes of enemies switching up your arsenal when you see fit. Similar to Horizon Zero Dawn, Nier: Automata has a beautiful seamless open world with side quests and RPG elements that fit the story. Back that up with a variety of weapon types and customizable 'pods' to support your gameplay and we've got a winner. Nier: Automata is available on PC and PS4.
Left Alive
Left Alive is releasing some time in 2018 on PC and PS4. As a result, we added it to the list. For players who feel like Horizon Zero Dawn with a bit more shooter. Developed and published by Square Enix, Left Alive features some great developers from games like Metal Gear Solid, Ghost in the Shell: Arise, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Much like Horizon: Zero Dawn Left Alive has machines and one major difference is the addition of 2 more protagonists. Set in Novo Slava, 2127 the 3 protagonists offer 3 different perspectives to the human story of survival against machines. That's 3 unique story paths with consequences driven by player choice and multiple play styles. Left Alive also features crafting, traps, and collectibles with a focus on exploration and narrative.
Darksiders 3
Darksiders 3 is another game that's not quite here yet. But will release sometime in 2018. In replacement of Aloy from Horizon: Zero Dawn. Gamers get to play one of the Four Horsemen. As Fury, players wield a whip and magic in addition to a variety of other weapons. Like other Darksiders games, Darksiders 3 keeps to the classic hack-n-slash action adventure style. Moreover, Fury can play in multiple forms and use abilities. Traversal skills as she is a magic-wielding mage. Explore Earth overrun by the Sins and their minions and prove you are the most powerful of the Four Horsemen.
Honorable mentions: Deus Ex Human Revolution, Mass Effect, Dishonored, Far Cry Primal, Pyre, Thief, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

A wave of bloody attacks by motorcycle gangs left one dead and eight wounded in Jakarta over the weekend as police scramble to crack down what is becoming a growing problem in many Indonesian cities. Four teenagers were attacked while riding their motorcycles on Jalan Danau Sunter in North Jakarta early Saturday morning, police said. Soleh, 17, was killed in the fight. Three of his friends, Zaenal, 19, Reza, 16, and Ardin, 19, suffered injuries. The four were reportedly riding their motorcycles after watching illegal street races in Kemayoran, Central Jakarta. Less than 24 hours later, a gang of bikers attacked another group of riders on Jalan Benyamin Sueb in Kemayoran. Five were stabbed and a motorcycle was torched in the melee, police said. In both instances, the attackers allegedly wore white marks under their eyes, police said. "Investigators have found an indication that the groups committing the attacks in Sunter and Kemayoran are connected," Jakarta Police spokesman Sr. Comr. Rikwanto said in Jakarta on Monday. Police responded by forming a special investigative team with officers from precincts in North and Central Jakarta to look into the incidents. Police suspect the attacks were motivated by revenge and related to Jakarta's underground street racing scene. Biker gangs have become a pressing concern in many Indonesian cities, spurred, in part, by the popularity of motorcycles. The members are frequently involved in seemingly random and, at times, fatal mob attacks, police said. On Thursday, another gang of bikers killed Rahmad Gunawan Nasution, a member of a rival gang, in front of Plaza II Pondok Indah Mall in South Jakarta. The alleged leader of that attack, Azwar Anas, has been arrested by police. Police did not say whether the motorcycle gangs in South Jakarta are related to those operating in Central and North Jakarta.

Emergency Light Voltages
Emergency Light Voltages Summary
AC/DC isn't just a hard-rock band from Australia, it is the two worlds that make up all electronic circuitry. Emergency Lights run off an Alternating Current (AC) of 120 VAC supplied the building they are installed to. However the unit does not run on AC, but instead converts it to a much lower Direct Current (DC).
When electricity flows through the Emergency Lighting Unit, it goes through a transformer which converts it into DC via a half-wave bridge. The actual working voltage of the light unit can be 6VDC to 24VDC depending on the fixture. Larger Emergency Lights like our reinforced steel models can switch between different voltages.
Advantages of Higher Voltage Emergency Lights
Two attributes will affect the amount of light put out by a lamp: voltage and wattage.
The most widely used voltage in Emergency Lighting is 6 VDC. Higher voltages equal brighter lights, which could eliminate the need for multiple lights in a given area.
Emergency Lights come in the following voltages: 6, 12 and 24 volts DC.
View our selection of 6, 12, and 24 Volt Emergency Lights
Higher voltage Emergency Lights can store more wattage in their battery backup systems which allows for the attachment of a remote head or more powerful bulbs. Just note that when changing voltages on these units, other hardware will need to be changed out as well including the battery and bulbs.
Lamp heads with a higher wattage produce more light intensity. You can see this in the household when comparing the dim light of a 40 watt incandescent bulb with that of a 200 watt.
Emergency Light lamp heads come in the following wattages: 7.2, 8, 9, 10, 12.5, 18 and 25 watts..
Lastly, the higher the voltage on your emergency unit, the further you can string a remote head without the lamp dimming. To calculate this drop in voltage, look at the chapter on" Emergency Light Voltages and Voltage Drop Calculations."
Configurability of Steel Emergency Lights
Thermoplastic Emergency Light models have a fixed voltage and bulb intensity while Steel Emergency Lights are infinitely customizable. If you peek at our catalog of Steel Emergency Lights, you might notice they look nearly identical. Don't trust your eyes, these units are as customizable as Baskin Robbins ice cream, available in all flavors of voltage, battery capacity, bulb wattages and lamp head styles suited for your lighting requirements. You can read more about this in "Emergency Light Options."
Give us a call toll-free at 800-480-0707 to place your order, request a quote or invoice or if you have any further questions. Let us fulfill your Emergency Lighting needs today!

Who needs election? GOP already rules
We know our international visitors are here for horses, not bull. But those who are interested in U.S. politics can get a pretty good idea just by looking at last week in the Senate:
■ Republicans advanced their vision of an America ruled by and for monied interests, while sealing the doors of equality and opportunity to others.
■ Democrats were too afraid and fractured to put up much of a fight.
At week's end, the Democratic majority announced it would wait until after the November mid-term election to bring up President Barack Obama's plan to extend tax cuts for the middle class while ending those for the 2 percent of households whose annual incomes exceed $250,000.
Republicans blame Obama for average Americans' economic anxiety. Yet Democrats passed up a chance to force Republicans to vote on helping average Americans.
By not pushing this debate, Democrats deprive themselves of a defining campaign issue. Also, voters will have to wait to see whether those howling about the national debt are willing to do anything to trim it.
Bush-era tax cuts expire at the end of this year unless Congress renews them. The Democrats shouldn't miss this chance to see whether Republicans would let the middle-class tax cuts expire if they don't get a deal protecting the wealthiest as well.
(We're not talking about soaking the top 2 percent, just taxing them at the same rate as during the Clinton years when the economy boomed and the government ran a surplus.)
Meanwhile, Republicans, who hold 41 of the 100 seats in the Senate, were taking advantage of their clout under Senate rules last week. They used the grand ol' filibuster to preserve the repugnant ban on gays serving in the military and to defeat the DREAM Act, which would give immigrants brought to the U.S. as children a path to citizenship through education, good behavior and military service.
Such blatant unfairness by Republicans should rally Democratic voters — if the Democratic leaders would come out from their foxholes long enough to wave a banner to rally 'round.
The Republicans also stopped another Obama initiative that would require disclosure of who's paying for campaign advertising.
(Note to visitors: When viewing political commercials on U.S. television, assume that everything is a lie and/or oversimplified to the point of idiocy. Also, marvel that Americans fall for this putrid propaganda.)
The disclosure requirement is necessary because of a 5-4 decision by the Supreme Court to renounce a 100-year-old doctrine and open spigots of corporate cash into U.S. elections. The court's majority worried that corporations were being unconstitutionally constrained from getting their message out.
Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell of Kentucky said Democrats were simply trying to gain an advantage in this year's elections.
But even when Democrats offered to delay the disclosure requirement until after the election, Republicans wouldn't budge.
So, there you have it in a nutshell: Republicans, riding a tide of corporate cash and public anger, are counting on voters to have such short memories they'll bring back the disastrous policies of the Bush years.
And Democrats, who hold the White House and large majorities in both chambers of Congress, are too fumbling and afraid to call the Republicans out.

Proposal for Market Expansion

The Market
Recently, Fantasy Island have submitted a planning application for 96 new market stalls to be erected and 4 portable buildings to be used as toilet facilities. As well as this, there's plans to use a portion of the existing caravan site as extra car parking spaces. It's likely that this relates to the
drainage work
being carried out on the car park throughout this year. This means that the market could be expanding outward over the car park from next season.
Have Your Say On the
Traders Selling Illegal Goods Arrested

The Market
Action has been taken against the ongoing problem of illegal cigarette sales in Ingoldmells. A raid on Monday 27th August by HM Revenue and Customs resulted in two gangs being broken up as they were selling the illegal products on a makeshift table on Sea Lane. Three individuals were arrested as a second group fled from the scene; successfully being disrupted from selling to passers-by on one of the busiest days of the year for the resort.
1,920, potentially counterfeit, cigarettes and 2.7kg of hand rolling tobacco were seized on the day by Customs. The gang's proceeds of approximately Ł1000 and their car were also confiscated by Police. It's estimated that around Ł800 of duty had been lost as the gang had been selling smuggled produce.
The men arrested were interviewed at Skegness Police Station, and released pending an ongoing enquiry into the case. Signs around Ingoldmells Market make it clear that it is illegal to trade produce that hasn't had full duty paid. Steve Hazell, a spokesman for HMRC said: "Anyone who thinks they are getting a bargain buying cheap cigarettes or tobacco might not realise this illegal trade damages honest businesses in the area, costs billions in lost revenue and lines the pockets of criminals instead of funding public services. If you are tempted to buy cheap smuggled cigarettes remember that you may be funding organized crime. Anyone with information on smuggled goods can contact our confidential hotline on 0800 59 5000."

Over the off-season at Fantasy Island, Island Quest reported on major changes happening to the massive eastgate market, which is situated at the park. These included construction of more units and the refurbishment of others with fresh coats of paint.
With the 2007 season now in full swing, a host of other changes have become clear! The biggest being the re-branding of the market, which is now called "The Market at Fantasy Island Family Resort". Along with this new name, a new logo has also been created which can be seen at the start of this article.
Fantasy Island have also created a dedicated website for the market which includes opening hours, news and other information.

Europe's biggest 7 day indoor and outdoor market opened its gates this weekend for a new season. The entire market will now be open every weekend until April when it will reopen on a daily basis. New stalls and a bright colour scheme will give a new atmosphere to the market during 2007, the new owners (Conduit Leisure) have spent a considerable amount of money improving the stalls this winter off season.

The 11th National Congress of Serbian Association of Plastic, Reconstructive and Aesthetic Surgery – SRBPRAS, with international participation, will be held at the "Hyatt" hotel and the Military Medical Academy in Belgrade, from 15-18 May 2012.
The Congress topics will cover the following fields: reconstructive surgery (breast and congenital anomaly surgery), microsurgery, tumors, surgery of the palm and burns, esthetic surgery, and cosmetic medicine. The Congress, held twice a year, is intended to give a retrospective look at the latest achievements in the field of plastic, reconstructive and esthetic surgery in both the country and world. As an event of educational nature, it has been accredited by the Serbian Health Council.
During its two working days, there will be lectures, poster presentations, satellite symposiums and mini-workshops, while the third day is devoted to the three surgical procedures to be performed at the Military Medical Academy's Operating Block. That way will offer all the participants the possibility to closely view the surgery performances and establish direct communication with the surgeons as well.
The Congress will bring together 15 lecturers on call who would deliver two up to three lectures dealing with actual topics. During the Congress, mini-workshops on tissue fillers would be provided to all the Congress participants.

Manitoba wedding photos in St. Malo
When I first met Bonnie & Kristjan I saw that these two shared a love that is different and unique , just as they are. Kristen even started crying during our meeting and I saw the deeper side of him , and also what Bonnie means to him.
Never a dull moment with these two I tell you, from driving into recycle bins with their bicycles and jumping into water during their engagement session to their wedding day where they did a "chest bump" after saying their I do's and Kristjan in his excitement tried doing "the dip" with Bonnie and she literally fell to the ground. Luckily nobody got hurt but it sure was funny!
I can just see that their life together is going to be a great big adventure filled with LOTS of giggles, crying and excitement.
Bonnie and Kristjan, I cannot tell you how happy I am to be sharing your pictures today. This Intimate Farm Wedding is definitely among my favourites.
Family and Friends can view all their photos in the online Gallery here

Rollip - Picks & Tricks
This is an old site, but I still use it from time to time. Rollip.com is a free website where you can alter your own digital photos and download them in high resolution size. It's nice that you can use this tool in your browser and you don't have to purchase an app or anything. I've played with it on my PC and on my iPad as well and had great results!
I'll show you some of my own photos and how they look after I played with them on rollip's site. All of these photos are from our trip to Europe this past spring. I'll post the original image first and then the one I created using the tools at rollip.
Gotta love European parking. LOL! Here's the same photo with a white square border and a dark filter.
This photo makes me long for cobblestone streets and open air markets! I didn't want to change much about this shot, but I thought a vintage "polaroid" style frame would be fun.
Old buildings look great with an old filter!
An incredible sunset on the Rhine River. Hard to beat that! It was fun to add some sunset flare though.
My favorite feature is that you can download the high resolution size photo for free. This is a simple tool, but it's easy to access and the price is right!

Was on a date tonight.....
and bumped into the last girl I slept with. Why do these things happen?
Very awkward, and coincidental.
I walked through town yesterday and saw 2 people i've slept with.
this is why i don't leave the house much.
it's a bit odd....
my mate had a proper emotional moment a few weeks ago.
We were walking home and he walked by an ex-conquest and then spent the rest of the bus journey home questioning how for one moment they were so close together, as one, and then now they'll walk by and not even exchange a word.
He was very emotional, i just laughed.
in my head you're a virgin tillance
i'm sorry and i don't know why
In my head
she's a panda.
less harrassed maube.
With my current bf,
the first day we hung out, the day after I met him, we set out to the park and ran into my ex on the red line platform. I'd had sort-of plans to hang out with my ex that night but by nightfall I'd kissed my now-bf and we didn't part ways til the next day. Pretty, pretty awkward, though at least my bf didn't know my ex was my ex.
not really.....
she was 4 months ago, and I'm at home posting here tonight, so the date didn;t go quite to plan.
I haven't been on a proper date
for ages.
I hope your next date goes better.
I feel your pain
stupid small world
yes, thats why I'm posting here.
Though I've been out with her a few times already, its one of those long term efforts.
people actually go on dates?
do other people do this?
excluding americans

Roma ISD Names Gladiator Arena Basketball Court in Honor of Coach Eleuterio Garza Jr.
Roma ISD's School Board voted on May 30, 2018 to name the Roma High School Gladiator Arena Gym Basketball Court in honor of Coach Eleuterio Garza Jr. The action was presented to the board as a way to keep the contributions of Coach Garza alive for years to come in the minds of members of The Gladiator Nation.
"Coach Garza made such a profound impact on Roma ISD, from his illustrious career as a coach to his time as superintendent, and it seemed only fitting to do this in his honor," said Roma ISD School Board President Raul P. Moreno Jr. "I'm proud that we have such a focus on promoting our roots and history here at Roma ISD. We can't move forward in success if we don't remember where we came from, honor it and learn from it. So whether or not you had a chance to be coached by him or know him in some other way, there is no doubt that Roma ISD would not be where it is today without Coach Garza's contributions to our success; he is a person to be admired. He helped build a solid foundation for us at RISD and we will be eternally grateful. Congratulations to him and his entire family on this well-earned recognition."
Coach Eleuterio Garza Jr. served as the Roma High School Head Boys Basketball Coach from 1967 to 1978. He led Roma to the State Tournament in Boys Basketball in 1972 and 1976. Because of his commitment to student success, his patience and his devotion to academics, he later went on to serve as the district's superintendent.
Roma ISD honored Coach Garza with a special unveiling of his name at the Roma High School Gym on Oct. 19, 2018. Surrounded by members of his family and players from teams from 1967 to 1976, Coach Garza saw the public unveiling of his name and enjoyed reminiscing with his players and former colleagues. He was also honored by members of the Roma ISD community with lifetime passes to all Roma Athletic Events, a plaque with a picture of the court now bearing his name, and a Roma High School jacket.
"Coach Garza, as many of us know him, put Roma on the map when it comes to athletics," said Dagoberto Salinas, Roma ISD School Board Secretary. "And he did it by being a dedicated coach who cared about his players. He cared about them not just as athletes, but as students and persons. He helped all his teams reached their personal bests. As a coach he was a great motivator. He knew the game and he knew how to teach it. And we all know that a player can have all the moves, but if they don't have a caring, hardworking coach, they will never succeed. Coach Garza, I want to thank you for your service to The Mighty Gladiator Nation. We hope that you and your family take to heart the appreciation we have for you and your sacrifices that have helped our students have a great foundation that they continue to build on."

A fishing vessel is a boat or ship accustomed to capture fish in the sea, or on a lake or river. Many various sorts of vessels are used in professional, artisanal and recreational fishing.
These trawlers ended up bought to fishermen all around Europe, together with within the Netherlands and Scandinavia. Twelve trawlers went on to type the nucleus of your German fishing fleet.[eleven]

Tarpon, the silver king, is one of the most acrobatic fish sought by saltwater anglers. Tarpon are classified in two classes, Tarpon and huge Tarpon. Belize includes a resident population of huge Tarpon, on the other hand inside the spring and summer, migrating Tarpon go to our waters, generating for greater figures of those significant fish.

Individuals nations accounted for greater than fifty percent of the world's generation; China alone accounted for a third of the world's creation. Of that production, about 90% was marine and less than ten% was inland.

According to the 2016 Community Survey, the highest priority for the city should be "the availability and diversity of affordable housing." Not surprisingly, a survey's design can again place focus on an un-achievable, windmill-tilting, feel-good goal. Affordable housing should not be the focus of the City Council "retreat" on Jan. 19-20.
I commend Jan Burton on her column in the Sunday (Jan. 14) Daily Camera, in succinctly pointing out that the Boulder City Council's primary responsibility is to fund the priorities of the community. As Jan suggests, those priorities are to fund the services that the public counts on (safety, infrastructure, roads, snow removal, minimization of traffic congestion, etc.). The council needs to balance the overall budgets within taxpayer tolerance and abilities. It should carefully challenge the large, ongoing department reserve balances. And it should carefully review the cost, effectiveness and necessity of staff support for the growing number of boards and commissions.
Just because the appreciated value of properties has been increasing, that must not automatically imply that the city's budget should grow beyond the ability of certain resident groups to afford the tax increases being passed on. The 2016 Community Survey clearly ignored these city's core responsibilities; it appears to have been designed to be a "wild dreams" popularity vote.
Since the basic requirements of the public have not yet been satisfactorily addressed, should suing oil companies, creating a public bank, buying Xcel power poles, searching for additional sister cities, legislating what crops can be grown on city-owned open space, and nibbling at the unsolvable affordable housing scarcity be addressed?
Back to the basics, please!
