The Modern VATby Liam Ebrill Michael Keen Jean-Paul Bodin Victoria Summers
Value-added tax was first introduced less than 50 years ago. Today, it is a key component of tax systems around the world, and major source of government revenue in over 120 countries. The IMF has attached considerable importance to the proper design and implementation of the tax, and this book draws upon the work of the Fiscal Affairs Department (FAD) of the IMF. Over half of all countries that have introduced a VAT during the last twenty years have made use of FAD advice. The book considers a variety of issues regarding the development of the VAT, including: its nature, importance and spread; basic design issues; whether it is an effective and efficient method; revenue performance; collection costs; small countries and the VAT; the impact of international economic integration; and likely future developments.

Webster, N.Y.based Fusion Productions, which specializes in meeting communications skills, has teamed up with Elliott Masie, president of the Masie Center in Saratoga Springs, N.Y., a think-tank that explores the intersection of technology and learning. Masie--who also works as a third-party planner for high-tech events at Fortune 500 companies--will share his research on user acceptance of online learning with Fusion in order to build teaching models for the meeting industry.
"We can do two very important things with online education," says co-founder of Fusion Productions Don Dea. "Meeting participation can be increased by allowing those who can't be physically present to attend online. And for those who can attend, participation can be enriched."
The partners have developed a prototype being tested this fall by 20 CEOs from the American Association of Medical Society Executives. "They will interact with instructors through chat forums. Once the course is completed, we will have a model to work from," says Dea.

Hi guys,
someone have some ideas about how realize a per pixel lighting model in OpenGL without using nVidia register combiners ?
Hi guys,
someone have some ideas about how realize a per pixel lighting model in OpenGL without using nVidia register combiners ?
Please log in or register to post a reply.
if you don't want to use register combiners you're not in for fragment programs as well, right ? but first of all… why do you need to do this ?
I have an ATi Radeon 9800 Pro graphic card so I can't use nVidia Registers Combiner.
I want to realize a good lighting system for my game engine and I have decided to use a per pixel lighting instead of per vertex light and lightmap that I think are obsolete.
Well, you don't have to use the nVidia register combiners. You can simply use normal vertex and fragment shaders.
If you are implementing Phong lighting, check this link.
Hope it helps.
i have several fragment shader implementations ready for different lighting models. i was going to use them in my demo, which i won't be able to complete. so if you want to see them feel free to contact me…
no. gf4 cannot run it.
reason one: it does not have floatingpoint but only 9bit fixedpoint math
(or 10bit)
reason two: it cannot excecute that much instructions
reason three: it cannot do programable texture fetches, only confiruable predefined settings, and thats it
but the main reason: its no dx9 card. because ARB_fragment_program == ps2.0
oi mate, my per pixel lighting code just ran on a gf4 using the ARB_fragment_program extension. i saw it and for once i believe my eyes
from my glxinfo output:

Hi guys,
I have some news for you. I have used Cg for a simple Per Pixel lighting system (specular + diffuse) and it works very well.
i have tried using cg but droped it again…
you should rather rely on fragmen/vertex programs. you could use the cg compiler to generate those and hand optimize them. please don't use the cg runtime. also writing the assembler programs isn't much harder if you are used to it, believe me. i won't touch a hlsl again until glslang is out.
i was being ignorant about DirectX since i don't use it… you are right if you want to write shaders for both you could make use of cg… but still i would use it just as a compiler and run the generated shaders after i went through them by hand
I think Cg is very easy to use. I have implementated a per pixel lighting (diffuse + specular without bump mapping) in only 3 hours. So I haven't found it overcomplicated.
Where can I find glslang spec ?
Unless it's changed since I checked, the Cg toolkit for linux is terrible. The documentation also seemed quite poor, although to be fair I didn't really look into that much after the toolkit. Assuming this is still true, this negates the quality of OpenGL I like (second) best - portability. GLSlang will be true OpenGL, and won't require any additional libraries. I never like having too many libraries hanging around.
baldurk you are right about only a part of the complaint regarding the CG tookit for GNU/LINUX. The documentation is bad wrt getting CG started on GNU/Linux. The rest of it is just a matter of being able to read thru the standard CG Toolkit pdf.
However you should understand one thing - CG is not supported for
Fragment shaders (or pixel shaders) by ATI. So that puts you pretty much
in a fix.
Cg is elegant yes. It helps in faster coding - not really.
GLSlang - find it in opengl.org its a link on the right.
cg is dead. nvidia dropped large support parts of it, and will only continue it as a small tool besides. they can't compete HLSL in dx so they never had a chance to establish it there. they have no need to continue support in gl eighter, as glslang will be there.
as i said right from the beginning. its a dead birth. no one uses cg. everyone nvidia states uses cg, uses hlsl. it was just, and still is just, marketing crap. as 90% of nvidias work during the last year anyways. the resting 10% where about cheating.. :D

1. Does the 2" pipe have a p-trap in the slab?
2. Using a flashlight, can you see the water level after pouring some water down it? Would have been nice if it had been boxed in instead to allow for any adjustments, but removing the concrete and replumbing it will not be too difficult if at all necessary.
3. Do you have any specs or pictures of the pipe layout (with vents!)? I don't see any vent pipes in your picture; would be ideal if you had photos of the pre-pour pipe layout too.

Remember the scene in "Witness" where the local bullies start taunting the Amish in their carts? One of them paints the face of Alexander Godunov with his ice cream cone. They're knocking off straw hats. And Harrison Ford clambers down out of the jitney as an Amish elder cautions him: "It's not our way."
"But it's my way," says Ford. And then he beats the snot out of a couple of punks. It's a problematic scene, because Ford's character is wrong in several ways, both idealistic and practical. On the other hand, it's immensely satisfying.
Right now, Chris Murphy and his campaign are a gaggle of Amish people sitting calmly in their buggies, backed up on the Gelassenheit Freeway while the McMahon campaign squirts ketchup and mustard on their beards and snaps their suspenders against their nipples.
And make no mistake, this is a bunch of bullies. Murphy has spent the last two weeks on defense after details surfaced about his failure to keep up with both rent and mortgage payments in the past. It was small potatoes stuff, but it made him look like a schnook. Then McMahon went after Murphy's subsequent re-fi and claimed it was a sweetheart deal. Several state publications submitted the particulars to experts, none of whom thinks that claim holds water. Doesn't matter. McMahon filed a federal ethics complaint.
Does any of this sound familiar? In 2010, the New York Times suddenly came into possession of proof that Richard Blumenthal had overstated his military service. The Times refused to say where it got the material. The problem wasn't quite as bad as that first shoddy Times story made it seem, but it was nonetheless a problem. It dogged Blumenthal until, at end of September, his poll numbers looked like the bunny slope at Ski Sundown.
Murphy should take heart in Blumenthal's turnaround. What worked was to remind people of what they liked about him in the first place. So his message was: "I spent the last two decades listening to your problems and fighting in court to resolve them. She spent the last nine months listening to your problems and making commercials about them. Who's your daddy?"
Murphy needs to find a tone that fits him, but he can't continue to be Charlie Brown, round-faced and astonished that Lucy punched his lights out.
A few suggestions:
1. Get mad. It's late for that, but try it anyway. It was not an option in 2010 because Blumenthal blowing his stack is like the Tin Man doing a James Brown medley. We don't want to see it. But Murphy could get steamed up and say "This? This is her campaign? Rooting around like a stray dog in my garbage cans and pawing through my check stubs?"
2. Message: you take public service seriously; she's a dilettante. You spent your adult years in low-paying jobs, learning how to get things done for people. She spent the same period getting filthy rich and then woke up one morning wanting one of the greatest jobs in government. It's like taking up tennis for a week and then demanding to play Center Court at Wimbledon. Ad copy: "With enough money, you can hire a cello teacher for six months, book Tanglewood and pay the Boston Symphony to accompany you. But that doesn't make you Yo-Yo Ma."
3. When all else fails, hit her with the dirtiest smear: Constantly mention that she's a Republican. She could tip the Senate into Republican control. Republican means you don't get the Medicare you've been paying for all these years. It means pre-existing conditions are back on the list of Gigantic Worries, and your 24-year-old can be kicked off your policy. It means your taxes go up and LeBron James' don't. I am fond of many Republicans, but I wouldn't want to run as one in Connecticut in 2012. So: She's a Republican. (This is something she keeps on the down-low.) Republican! Republican!
Above all, remember that you have to win this fight on your own. The national Democratic campaign dumped $320,000 into the race this week. For McMahon, that's basically one Zappos order. You gotta be the guy. Otherwise, it's a long, cold, lonely buggy ride home in November.

So is it just me, or is this REALLY HARD!!! Making music is insane.
If anyone has any tips/tricks/ or great programs that they would recommend a true beginner, I would greatly appreciate it.
I have about 10 years of musical background with several instruments, but as far as making music on the computer goes, I'm spent.
I wish I could take music from albums, but then it's copyright infringement. Does anyone know how much you have to pay to use a song in a game? I'm an indie developer so I'm not sure if they would even consider me.

Remember when George W. Bush told us that hydrogen cars were coming? In his 2003 State of the Union address, Bush announced a major new initiative to research and develop the technology and bring us to our green automotive future. So what happened?
Well, there were always problems, the biggest of which is probably the lack of a national hydrogen transport and delivery infrastructure. The nice thing about electricity is that we already have an electrical grid. Granted, the grid is terribly antiquated, and we'll still have to build special charging stations to juice up electric cars. But you can add those stations bit by bit and gradually convince more and more people that it makes sense to buy an electric car. With hydrogen, you really have to have a major initiative funded by the government to the tune of tens of billions of dollars to get to the point where people are going to feel like they'll be able to fill up their cars pretty much wherever they go. Wired explains:
Mercedes says there are just 200 hydrogen fueling stations worldwide, so Linde, the company providing the hydrogen for the F-Cells, built a mobile fueling rig for the trip. California, which has seen its much-touted love affair with hydrogen wax and wane, has four public stations. Nineteen more are planned by the end of 2012. Clearly there is a long way to go, and even the most rudimentary infrastructure will cost billions. Advocates say we are — slowly — making progress...
Proponents concede the technology, and the infrastructure that would support it, will require huge government investment. But the federal government is backing off. President Obama's proposed 2012 budget reduces funding for the Department of Energy hydrogen technology program by 40 percent, or almost $70 million. DOE says the cuts are being made "in order to focus on technologies deployable at large scale in the near-term."
Given the current appetite in Washington for funding large infrastructure projects, it's hard to see a national hydrogen network being built any time soon. On the other hand, some awesome nerd is developing (with a federal government grant) a "shockwave generator" engine that could cut auto emissions by 90 percent.

A hydrogen vehicle is a vehicle that uses hydrogen as its onboard fuel for motive power. Hydrogen vehicles include hydrogen fueled space rockets, as well as automobiles and other transportation vehicles. Some time ago, Toyota promised a hydrogen vehicle in 2015. The Toyota hydrogen car is still expected for that year.

Talk about bad timing (or very good, depending on how you look at it): http://www.fit-flopuk.co.uk/ fitflops on sale also had her baby yesterday.Frisky and fun or funky and fugly? While there is something definitely smile-inducing about this baby evening Fitflops UK shoe, I can't help but keep thinking it resembles a house-cleaning tool that resides under my sink;Fitflops UK created an a similarly iconic Fitflops UK when they left St Mary's hospital cradling a newborn Prince Fitflops UK in 1982. Fitflops UK wore polka dots on a pale green, oversized smock Fitflops UK that was very Fitflops UKable in the early 80's. It's rumoured that the young princess grabbed the frock in a rush to get to the hospital during labour. Given Fitflops UK's strong sense of Fitflops UK it's more likely that she planned the Fitflops UK shoe in detail. "Fitflops UK's frock was fabulous at the time but perhaps hasn't stood the test of time, " said Fitflops UK. "Fitflops UK's taken a more conservative, timeless approach."Fitflops UK went for a knee length printed midi Fitflops UK teamed with a pair of white espadrille wedges and added some blingy Fitflops UK shoes with a huge pearly necklace.She kept her hair up for the occasion, styling her 'do in a sleek beehive that looks all a bit 60s to us.Here's Fitflops UK prancing around West Hollywood yesterday afternoon and dropping everyone's jaw thanks to a pair of red hot skin-tight Fitflops UK shoes that are doing one hell of a shwingtastic job of showing off her sexy little stems and her bodacious little booty; wowzers! "I just think the world is so lame because you can shoot people in a movie and you can let people like Fitflops UK off on trial but you can't have someone going like this (she stimulates oral sex gesture). It was a who's who of the Fitflops UK world at the Blue Jasmine premiere last night in NYC.The Woody Fitflops UK film attracted the likes of Solange Knowles, Jenna Lyons, Cate Blanchett, and models Jessica Hart and Fitflops UK.

Wanting more nutrition and taste in your kid's breakfast without completely eliminating all of the "fun" sugary cereals in your home? There are ways to keep both of you happy by reducing the artificial sugar and flavors with yummy, nutritious substitutes. Flax seeds, fresh fruit, stevia, honey and the odd nut are some ways to get on track. Here's how you can incorporate the good stuff, sneak out some of the bad…and satisfy your little one in the process.
Let your child choose their favorite breakfast cereal. If it's sugary, that's ok. Many children enjoy looking that the boxes and mulling over their choices. Be patient and let them take their time. If you consciously mix up your "healthy" cereals with the sugary ones in the cupboard, your child may surprise you and begin to develop a taste for and/or picking them for breakfast on their own.
After your child has picked their cereal, pour it into their bowl until it is about 1/3- 1/2 full. Depending on your goals, decide on the ratio of "not-so-nutritious" to "nutritious" based on the sugar/color/added flavors of the cereal.
Do your best to "match up" your child's sugary cereal with a similar healthy, nutritious cereal or fruit. For example:
*Fruit Loops can be paired with whole grain, regular or Honey Nut Cheerios;
*Frosted Flakes can be paired easily with plain Corn Flakes;
*Golden Grahams can be paired with Life cereal;
*Cocoa Crispies can be paired with plain Rice Crispies
You can also mix and match "healthy" cereals for texture and flavor to keep things interesting, or allow your child to have a half bowl of their favorite sugary cereal, and make up the other half with fruit. Cut up complimentary fruits into small bite sized pieces so it 'becomes' a natural part of the meal. The sugar from the cereal will quickly and seamlessly also sweeten any fruit.
Adding a good helping of fruit to a bowl of cereal is a great way to ensure your little one kickstarts their day with a full serving of "nature's candy". Adding dried fruit or nuts also packs a bunch of 'good' sugars', nutrients and texture without sacrificing any flavor.
If your substitutions leave your child complaining that the cereal is not sweet enough or just plain bland, add a little stevia (a natural sweetener) or a swirl of honey. While in the process of 'weaning' your child from a sugar habit, this can be a temporary, happy medium.
It is possible for you and your kids to be enthusiastic about a delicious, healthy, and easy breakfast! Just change things up and get adventurous…you'll both be glad you did!

Took the survey and didn't get credit
Posted by Jbekka on 08/09/2007
I took several surveys and I took the Privacy Matters 123 survey and they never credited me with taking it. I sent my credit card bill and I have sent several emails but they keep reviewing and do nothing about it. With this last survey I would have been owed a $50.00 check. This is definitely unethical and uncondoned business practice.
I am very upset. Don't do Vindale Research!

These pay-for-taking-survey companies are definitely a bit shady. I have tried a few in the past and never got what was suppose to be sent to me, whether it be a gift certificate or cash.
Thanks for the warning/heads-up on this one.
Posted by Ponie on 2007-08-10:
Never heard of this outfit. I'm signed up with several survey sites. Right now I'm waiting for $50 I requested from one last week. I know I'll get it because I have in the past. Beware of the sites that give you pages of 'offers' you have to go through. Just click out of these.
Posted by geather-c on 2007-08-11:

All of those places that you have to sign up for, and click on a bunch of advertisements ARE scams. Any website that wants your credit card number is a scam. Unless you are truely buying something.

Beware they say you can make money but I lost plenty
Posted by Purplelady on 11/16/2010
I was looking for making money from home doing surveys. I trusted this site and I know so many times I heard on the TV news not to give my debit/bank account number out. But their scam was you were to get a free product and that you only had to pay for shipping and handling. Before you receive the free product they were charging my card for months of the free product. At first I couldn't figure out why my bank account was overdrawn. I had to go over all the debits with the bank and fill out paperwork that I did not authorize the regular charges, I did agree to the shipping and handling charges and the bank was very nice to refund my overdraft fees. It was a real headache and I don't think I made any money from Vindale just extra expenses. I did learn a lesson to check out any company before giving my bank number out. I hope this helps other people who are in my situation describe to make some money to help ends meet.

48 Hours to a Healthier Life
Suzi Grant - Author
Tired all the time? Living in a rut?
Can't face exercise and diets?
Get ready to change your life in just 48 hours.
By taking 48 hours out of your normal routine and following the simple suggestions inside this book you will feel fitter, slimmer and happier about yourself than you would after a visit to a health spa. The easy-to-prepare food, self-help techniques and exercises will deliver long-term health benefits when incorporated into your everyday life whilst you don't have to compromise on the things that make life a joy – wine, puddings, cappuccinos.
90% optimum nutrition + 10% of what you fancy = Perfect health
Why waste time? Start yourself on the path to a healthier life today.
A programme in a very well-known gardening series on British TV recently started with these words: 'Plants need very little to grow healthy — just water, sunlight and nutrients, just like human beings.' Yet, how many of us treat ourselves as well as the plants we cultivate so lovingly? 'Water, sunlight and nutrients' just about sum up what Natural Nutrition is all about — looking after yourself by getting as close to nature as possible.
Body cells are very similar in structure to the cells in a gaol! A cell is surrounded by a wall - a fatty membrane that allows in nutrients and substances small enough to filter through its narrow bars. But not everything gets through. And, much like prisoners in a gaol, cells communicate with each other and pass on information about stress, pain, toxicity or even happiness. If they can't communicate with each other dis-ease (not disease, but un-ease) sets in, and they become dark, cold and rigid, and nothing works quite as it should. At the very least we may experience constipation, bloating, skin problems or headaches. And, at worst, real disease may set in.
What we are going to give our cells this weekend for optimum health!
1. Electrolyte Balance
Very simply put, the four main minerals that will ensure optimum cell health and therefore homeostasis — the perfect balance of fluid and electrolytes throughout the body — are sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium. An upset in equilibrium causes stress and poor functioning at a cellular level. If you've ever read the packet of a rehydration medicine when you've had a bad tummy bug you'll have seen much made of the electrolyte balance.
In everyday rude health, sodium, calcium, potassium and magnesium travel in and out of all the cells, in perfect harmony, day and night. Or they should do! Magnesium and potassium are primarily intracellular nutrients — they should mostly stay inside the cell — while calcium and sodium are mostly extra-cellular - they should be outside the cells.
Calcium and magnesium work together to regulate the blood, nerves, muscles and tissues in your body. Sodium and potassium help create the electrical charge that makes your muscles and nerves fire on all cylinders. To promote all of this, the four minerals need to move through the cell membranes easily and effortlessly. That movement ensures that the body is always cleansing and finding its own balance.
The trouble is, our 21st-century diet is abundant in calcium and sodium but seriously lacking in magnesium and potassium, so most of the time that perfect flow and balance doesn't exist. The cells become unhappy and don't function or cleanse properly. And every single cell in the body needs to cleanse properly if we are to lose weight, get over illness, and have a healthy, symptom-free body. A 1994 report from the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food included statistics that 72 per cent of women in the UK are seriously deficient in magnesium and as many as 94 per cent are seriously deficient in potassium.
During the 48-Hour Plan we're going to make sure the cells' electrolyte balance is improved by giving them magnesium- and potassium-rich foods but cutting right down on sodium- and calcium-rich foods. Don't worry: you'll get quite enough of both sodium and calcium, in their natural form, from the suggested menus, and it's worth bearing in mind that our hunter-gatherer forefathers managed to get more than 1,000 milligrams of calcium a day — without drinking any milk!
2.Better Nutrition
Historically, humans started off as nomads and hunter-gatherers — not couch potatoes slumped in front of the TV with a takeaway. Forty thousand years ago we roamed around the land, moving with the seasons, much like some wildlife still does today. We ate the food that was available close by, wherever we were. We were always ready for action with energy on-tap to fight off an attack or kill our next meal. Small meals or snacks were eaten every two to three hours throughout the day. A handful of nuts and seeds gave us our healthy oils, a couple of pieces of fruit or some berries gave us a quick sugar fix, and raw plants and vegetables were as complex a carbohydrate as we ever ate. We caught wild animals such as boar, deer or fish. But we didn't catch them every day. Archaeologists have discovered that we were healthy then, with strong bones and lean, muscular bodies. Yes, we died from simple infections, in childbirth or from accidents. But we didn't die of heart disease or cancer!
For just three days we're going to become more 'gatherers' than 'hunters' with a diet high in raw, fresh food, a few grains and without any animal products. As much as possible, the food we'll be eating will be in season and will have been grown in the country that we live in. After the Weekend, we can revert to being hunter-gatherers, with a lot more protein thrown in. But for 48 hours we are going to concentrate on the foods and techniques that help us cleanse and heal: naturally.
4.More Water
Dr Susan Shirreffs is an expert on rehydration and a research scientist and lecturer at the Biomedical Sciences Department at Aberdeen University. 'Even small levels of dehydration can create headaches, lethargy or just an overall lack of alertness,' she says. And at a cellular level being dehydrated can be far more serious, claims Dr Shirreffs. 'In the long term it can create problems with the renal system (kidneys) and our mental functioning, as well as our cardiovascular system.'
5.The Good Fats
Within each cell are receptor sites where vital hormones, such as insulin, and essential neurotransmitters, such as serotonin, communicate. If the cell membranes are too rigid because of a lack of EFAs, the chemicals can't dock and deliver their messages. The result can be dramatic. With these two examples, you could get blood-sugar blues from an insulin imbalance, and depression because of a shortage of serotonin.
So the Weekend diet will ensure that you're boosting your intake of EFAs. You won't want to live without them once you feel the benefits — it's that instant!
Tired all the time?
DIY Method
Have a look at the suggestions and pick your essential and carrier oils. For massages, essential oils are NOT to be used neat. Put 1-2 tablespoons of the carrier oil into a little bowl. Then add 3-6 drops of your chosen essential oil and mix it through. For repeated use you could also fill a little plastic bottle with a carrier oil and then add 5-10 drops of your essential oil; give the bottle a good shake every time.

MY FIRST BUT NOT MY LAST DENISE HUNTER BOOK September 11, 2012
THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE is the first book I've read by DENISE HUNTER, and it won't be the last. I spotted the cover of this book sometime ago, and instantly wanted to read it. The title was intriguing, as well as the blurb on the back cover. Sadly, it sat on my bookshelf for some time before I was able to get to it, having other books I was committed to reading first.
Shay Brandenberger is struggling to raise her daughter on her family ranch after her husband up and left, then late succumbed to an early death. Despite her determination and prayers, she's about to lose the only home she's ever known.
Travis McCoy is back in Moose Creek, Montana after more than a decade. Little did he know he'd be roped into being the groom for the Founders' Day wedding reenactment. And the bride is no other then Shay, the woman he ran out on the day he was to be married back when they were teens.
Thrown together, Shay and Travis make the best of a bad situation. At least that's how Shay sees it. Travis is hoping for something entirely different. A lifetime with the woman he never stopped loving.
Right from the first page I was sunk. DENISE HUNTER is an amazing writer, with a talent for weaving together a remarkable story with a unique plot. I read THE ACCIDENTAL BRIDE in only a few shot days, not able to put it down. What a great twist on the convenient bride scenario.
I took forward to reading more of MS HUNTER'S books in the future. Next on my list of books to purchase is A COWBOY'S TOUCH. The first story in A BIG SKY ROMANCE.
Review by Kym
When a wedding reenactment turns real, Shay finds she's an accidental bride.
Shay Brandenberger is raising her daughter in Moose Creek, Montana, on her childhood ranch, nestled against the Yellowstone River. Despite the hard work, she can't seem to keep her head above water—and now the bank is threatening to foreclose. She prays for a miracle, but the answer she receives is anything but expected.
Having agreed to play the bride in the Founders' Day wedding reenactment, Shay is mortified to be greeted at the end of the aisle by none other than Travis McCoy, her high-school sweetheart—the man who left her high and dry for fame and fortune on the Texas rodeo circuit.
Then the unthinkable happens. Thanks to a well-meaning busybody and an absentminded preacher, the make-believe vows result in a legal marriage. But before Shay can say annulment, Travis comes up with a crazy proposal. If she refuses his offer, she may lose her home. If she accepts, she may lose her heart.
Shay isn't sure if the recent events are God's will or just a preacher's blunder. Will trusting her heart to the man who once shattered it be the worst mistake of her life? Or could their marriage be the best accident that ever happened?

Tropical becomes the official sponsor of Unión Deportiva Las Palmas (Translation)
7 February 2012
- The agreement will become effective this year and for the next two years and it also plans activities to bring closer the society to the reality of the club
- The action goes beyond and wants to promote common values shared by both entities, like local talent
Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, February 3rd, 2012.- Tropical and Unión Deportiva Las Palmas have signed an agreement this morning according to which the brewing company becomes the official sponsor of the club for the rest of this year and the next two years.
This contract wants to promote the close relationship of the club with Gran Canaria's society through one of the brands with more support and history in the Island, like Tropical.
Compañía Cervecera de Canarias CEO Mark Tindall points out that it is an agreement that goes beyond a simple sponsorship; it wants to reinforce and favour a rapprochement with the values of the people of Gran Canaria through two of the institutions linked to the people along the years.
In this sense, he clarifies that with this initiative, "Tropical wanted to continue its support for the youth team and the local talent that Unión Deportiva defends, aspects that are part of the philosophy we have been defending throughout our history."
To bring to fruition these objectives, the agreement contemplates the development of several actions that will allow bringing together, even more, Unión Deportiva Las Palmas with the people of Gran Canaria. Among them, it's included the organisation of events that allow the interaction between fans, players and the club with different activities in which both parts are working nowadays.
With all this, the synergy and social projection will be favoured between Tropical, one of the most emblematic and oldest brands, and the reference club in the island.
Since 1924
Since the beginning of its activities in 1924, Tropical has been a brand directly connected with the industrial development of Gran Canaria, as seen in its first factory, in the Los Arenales neighbourhood, by the hand of Castor Gómez.
At that time it was a small family business, where beer could be enjoyed in a small shop open to the public in Canalejas street, behind the factory, where it was served with a wide variety of tapas.
The beginning of the Civil War meant the bankruptcy of the young company and in 1939 was out for auction and bought by Diego Vega Sarmiento, Vito Sánchez Jiménez and Miguel Curbelo Grondona, who founded Sociedad Industrial Canaria, Sical, dedicated to the production of beer, chocolate coffee and fishing activities.
In 1949, the beer production was at its lowest and in 1954, Sical became a public limited company aiming for a bigger growth. As a result, the Barranco Seco's factory opened in 1960, and it meant a fundamental change and a pledge for the renovation that translated in a qualitative and quantitative change in the development of the brand.
Afterwards, the opening of markets and the strong foreign competence led to the fusion of Sical and Compañía Cervecera de Canarias in 1993, the latter operating initially in Tenerife and it would be the foundations of the company now. Nowadays, Compañía Cervecera de Canarias has more than 300 business owners from Canarias among its shareholders and it's part of the international group SABMiller.
For its part, UD Las Palmas has been linked to the society of Canarias since 1949 and it has represented the football feeling of Las Palmas society after 31 years in the First Division.
Among its achievements there is a second place in the Spanish League, another second place in the King's Cup as well as three participations in the UEFA Cup. Nowadays it has 12,140 season ticket holders.
This SABMiller subsidiary news release has been translated from its local market language to English language for publication on www.sabmiller.com. We have attempted to provide an accurate translation of the original material but due to the difficulties of translation slight differences may exist.
Note, the news release was first published in its local market on [03/02/2012].

Congratulations on deciding to attend WSU Tri-Cities!
The Academic Advisors are committed to helping you throughout your time at WSU Tri-Cities.
Below is a step-by-step guide to learning the WSU academic system and how to select courses.
Apply for admission
- Apply for admission online. Send official transcripts from all colleges and universities you have previously attended, including any AP/IB or military credit you may have received.
- WSU Tri-Cities Admissions
2710 Crimson Way
Richland, WA 99354
- WSU Tri-Cities Admissions
- The priority deadlines for admission are:
- January 15th for summer/fall admission
November 15th for spring admission
- January 15th for summer/fall admission
- If you have admission questions, please contact our admissions office: email@example.com or 509-372-7250
Already admitted to WSU Tri-Cities?
Follow these steps to preparing for New Student Orientation and Academic Advising
Step 1: Register for a New Student Orientation
- Once admitted to WSU Tri-Cities, you will want to register for a New Student Orientation.
- Orientation is where you will meet other new students, take a tour of the campus, learn ways to get involved at WSU Tri-Cities, get your picture taken for your WSU ID card, learn more about financial aid, and find out about helpful resources on campus.
Step 2: Sign up for and take placement exams
- Writing Placement Exam:
- If you have not yet taken a college level English Composition course, you will need to take the Writing Placement Exam. All students are required to take at least one college level English Composition course. At WSU, it is listed as English 101 or 105 (ESL).
- Math Placement Exam:
- If you have not yet taken a college level math course, you should take the math placement exam, which is called ALEKS. This will determine the level of math you are able to register for.
- All students are required to take at least one college level math course for their degree. Some degrees require more than one math course. Later steps will help you in figuring out what courses are required.
Step 3: Set up your online account
- WSU's online portal system is called Zzusis. This is the portal system for WSU that allows you to access resources such as your financial aid award, grades, registration for classes, etc.
- To set up your account, go to the Zzusis page
- click on 'Need Zzusis Help'
- click on 'Create Your Network ID' and follow the steps from there
- click on 'Need Zzusis Help'
- You will need your WSU ID# and Temporary Access Network Key (TANK) to set up your account. You will find this on your admissions letter.
- You may need to stop at this step for a day or two. It can take up to 48 hours for the system to process your account set-up. Once you see a section on your main page marked 'Student Links', to include your 'Degree Audit Report' and 'Registration', you are set to continue.
Step 4: Reviewing your Advisement Report/Degree Audit
- The Advisement Report or Degree Audit, is a report of all courses and credits you need to complete the degree, shows which classes have transferred and shows how those classes have fulfilled requirements.
- To view your report, in your Zzusis account, click on 'Student Center'
- On the upper left section, click on 'My Academics'
- Click on 'Create what-if scenario' and then 'Create New Report'
- Be sure the campus says 'Tri-Cities', select your academic program, plans and concentration, then click 'Submit Request'
- Click on 'Create what-if scenario' and then 'Create New Report'
- On the upper left section, click on 'My Academics'
- The report breaks up the requirements into different categories. Requirements marked 'Satisfied' are finished and those marked 'Not Satisfied' still need to be complete. The report can be a little easier to read if you click 'View as a pdf'.
- This report may not be 100% accurate if you are currently enrolled in classes at another school or have not yet submitted your final transcripts.
- If you already have a degree (transferable AA or bachelor's), you will not need any further general education courses (University Common Requirements or UCORE). However, you are still held to the college and major requirements, which are listed on the report.
- Your academic advisor will explain this report and the requirements of your degree in more detail when you meet. Be sure to write down any questions or concerns you have after viewing this report.
Step 5: Understanding the WSU catalog
- The university's catalog is the official document you will use throughout your college career, that shows university rules and regulations, outlines degree requirements and shows you example 4 year class plans. This also allows you to view other majors and degrees, if you are undecided or exploring other major options. Reviewing your degree outline in the catalog, may clear up questions you might have after viewing the advisement report/degree audit.
- Keep in mind, this is a WSU-wide catalog, which means it includes majors and degrees from all WSU campuses. Be sure you know which degrees WSU Tri-Cities offers: www.tricity.wsu.edu/academics/
- Click on the catalog, of the academic year you begin at WSU. For example, if you begin fall 2013, the catalog you should refer to is the 2013-2014 catalog: www.catalog.wsu.edu/General/PriorCatalogs
Step 6: Advising Form
- Pull up an advising form and begin filling it out, writing in courses you would like to take.
- Bring this with you when you come to orientation.
- If you need a more visual layout of your class schedule, you might find using the schedule planning worksheet helpful.
Step 7: Understanding the Schedule of Classes
- The schedule of classes shows courses available each semester. Typically the summer and fall schedules are available online in early March and the spring schedules are available in early October.
- Click on the semester/year you are looking for. Be sure you are selecting the Tri-Cities class schedule. The classes are broken up by subject, and the class times are listed in military time.
- To search for a course to fulfill a specific requirement, click on the 'Search' button on the left. This will allow you to search by requirement, day, time, credits, etc. Just be sure the Tri-Cities campus is selected.
- There have been many questions about online classes. The Tri-Cities campus offers a few of their own online courses, and are typically marked as 'ARRGT'. We partner with WSU Online for a few other online courses, which will be listed in the WSU Tri-Cities schedule.
Step 8: Meeting with an Academic Advisor
- You will need to meet with your academic advisor to review your transfer credit report, review your course selections and register for your first semester's classes BEFORE orientation. Find out who your advisor is at www.tricity.wsu.edu/ualc/
- Meeting with an academic advisor is required at WSU, every semester. You will want to meet with your advisor no less than twice per year to discuss classes. Typically, you would meet with them in March and October, as these months will give you time to get your schedule settled before registration begins.
- You are welcome to meet with your advisor at any other time if you have questions or concerns.

@Nastinchka We have the Outback Bowl....okay that doesn't make things better.
America dangerously close to Beef 'O' Brady's-adjacent national title game
In a shocking twist of events, a very large and new football stadium is heavily favored to host a very large and important sporting event! From the Dallas Morning News: "College football officials have pointed to Cowboys Stadium as an overwhelming favorite to host the first title game for months. One source indicated those previous predictions 'will prove to be accurate.'"
And now, the most chilling sentence you will read all day: "Sources familiar with the process indicated that Arlington and Tampa are the only two cities seeking to host the title game planned in 2015 as part of a four-team playoff system." Arlington and Tampa, those pillars of college football tradition and pageantry. Do y'all realize how easy it would be to abscond with the national title game from Tampa to St. Pete? A Beef 'O' Brady's-sponsored championship is just a high-stakes caper away.

"We love beauty and simplicity."
A truly magnificent work uniting reason's rule and ordered thought with the exuberance and zest of Attica's nature, Maleas'
is an initiation to a world of ideal rhythms where form and spirit reclaim their long-fragmented wholeness. Demonstrating an ingenious fusion of inner discipline and outer freedom, this verse of lyric poetry submits to the force of a timeless canon, capturing the grandeur and aura of the classical monument not as a lifeless relic of ancient glory but as a form of eternity constantly reborn in the present.
(Acropole vue entre des pins et aloès) was exhibited in Paris in 1919 as part of a major show of Modern Greek art mounted under the auspices of Prime Minister Eleftherios Venizelos, who was in the French capital at the time for a peace conference and attended the opening. The exhibition featured two hundred works by leading Greek modernists and members of the 'Omas Techni' art group, which was founded two years earlier at the initiative of Nikolaos Lytras and had already infused the forces of renewal in Greek painting with a fresh and vital impetus. The group's aim was the renunciation of sterile academicism and the alignment with progressive movements and avant-garde trends.
The writer D. Kokkinos described this revolutionary proposal as "the quest for new expressive forms, the breaking of the old moulds, the abolition of the academic pictorial formula, the longing for new emotions and the search for a deeper pictorial truth."
For Maleas, this challenging quest was launched while setting his easel and standing defiantly before the mighty Acropolis. His interest in the sacred rock was renewed following his return to Athens in 1917, which gave him the opportunity to concentrate on the subject, something he couldn't do during his brief visits in the past when he lived in Thessaloniki. As noted by Dr. S. Lydakis, "his permanent residence in Athens signalled a new period in his work. Experimentation subsided and the admirable maturity of his work showed that the artist was at the height of his creative powers."
For this splendid view of the Acropolis he chose a western vantage point because it offered him one of the best views of the citadel as a harmonious ensemble of illustrious monuments -particularly the majestic
which had been extensively restored throughout the second half of the 19th century and, of course, the Parthenon, this classical masterpiece and symbol of everlasting value. Painting outdoors among pine trees and aloes, Maleas was able to retain the freshness of execution and fidelity to nature's effects, aiming not to produce a romanticised view of ancient splendour or a picturesque scene of evocative detail, but to investigate and solve pictorial issues beyond the mere recording of a specific location. He focused on closely harmonised colour and concentrated on chromatic and painterly matters. "Since his early output, the one element that defined Maleas' art above anything else was his effort to organise the pictorial space as a system of forms, where nothing was random and everything followed a compositional plan that constituted a new reality."
Although Maleas painted what was in front of him with complete directness, he did so with a deep understanding of the landscape as a complex entity. Impressionism taught him that nature was first and foremost the touchstone against which one measured art. But recording momentary sense impressions was not enough for Maleas. While entrusting his subject to the truth of vision, he also ventured beyond atmospheric effects to penetrate the inner world of the landscape and become part of its reality.
He sought an underlying structure for his studies on colour, paint and light, a kind of sturdy pictorial scaffolding that would allow him to convey a sense of endurance and permanence akin to the atmosphere emanating from the awesome site.
His architectural studies helped him fully comprehend the teachings of Cezanne, who had exhorted painters to look for solidity beneath the surface patterns and treat their subjects in terms of primary geometric forms to discover their enduring character and essential content. Following in the steps of the modern French master, Maleas wished to show the trees and the monuments not only as coloured patterns of light that would have satisfied an impressionist eye, but also to communicate his perception of their volume, mass and solidity. Similarly, he endeavoured to transcend impressionism in the rendering of space, suggesting recession into depth not by diminution of tonal contrast but through a wise arrangement of form in a sequence of planes.
The monumental and architectonic qualities of Cezanne's
Mont Sainte-Victoire
(1885-7) at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, bring to mind the painter's recorded ambition to 'revivify the great classicist Nicolas Poussin in front of nature,' suggesting a fusion of modern observation with a classical sense of structure. The stern, Cartesian Poussin had tried to give to landscape an air of order and permanence, recognising that the rhythmic relations of verticals and horizontals could have an effect similar to that of the harmonic devices in architecture.
A comparison of both Maleas'
and Cezanne's
Mont Sainte-Victoire
with Poussin's
Landscape with Saint John on Patmos
(1640s) at the Art Institute of Chicago shows that all three painters used the geometry of buildings to anchor the centre of their compositions and enhance surface coherence. They also shared a similar planar organisation of space, stressing the measured rhythm of horizontal bands in the landscape. Everything is clear cut, in almost geometric form and every object is seen and understood. However, while Poussin produced a generalised and idealised vision of an imaginary arcadia dotted with deserted Greek ruins and architectural fragments, Cezanne and Maleas conveyed a direct experience of their sites, capturing the venerable images of awesome Acropolis and mighty Mont Sainte-Victoire
in powerful compositions.
Much like Cezanne, Maleas was interested not only in delivering a carefully studied fabric of brushstrokes and colour but also in weaving together the reality of light and the inner truth of structure in a unified pictorial experience.
In his
, land, monument and sky come together in the form of successive horizontal bands of sharp outlines, bold colour, cooler and warmer tones and great architectural order, producing a robust, rhythmic outcome, which alternates upwards leading the eye from nature (foreground vegetation) to culture (monuments on the Acropolis) to nature (upper foliage). Maleas structures his picture sturdily, unifying it with a series of undulating lines and forms that run through it, much the same way as Cezanne composed his
Mont Sainte-Victoire
landscape with horizontal areas cut through by verticals and diagonals in the form of towering pine trees, paths and a viaduct, which strides across the middle distance. In both pictures the effects of perspective are neutralised in favour of a unified picture plane, and colour is used for its ability to build form, while the tight weave of verticals, horizontals and diagonals reflects a deep understanding of compositional principles.
Such an advanced and interpretative approach to nature is clear indication that Maleas, unanimously acknowledged as the greatest visual poet of the Greek landscape, was perfectly at home with post-impressionist breakthroughs,
drawing from their underlying artistic premises rather than uncritically adopting their formal vocabulary. Furthermore, he shared in the avant-garde's passion 'to redo Poussin after nature' and move towards a more conceptual direction, which reconciled modernist innovation with the
grande tradition
and contributed to the re-emergence of the arcadian vision in the first decades of the 20th century.
As stated earlier,
was painted in 1918-19, the period in which the 'Omas Techni' group was founded and launched its first initiatives. Its members, including Maleas, who exhibited in the Galerie La Boétie in Paris in 1919, represented the first ideological manifestation of Greek-centred modernism that had a purely
orientation. The theoretical forerunner of Greekness as an aesthetic ideology was Pericles Yannopoulos who perceptively identified the distinct qualities of the Greek light and its dialogue with the unique nature of the Greek landscape in his influential treatise
The Greek Line
(1904). "No darkness, only light, beautiful lines, grace, eros, bliss."
Yannopoulos' text even foreshadowed the importance that line would acquire in the work of Maleas, as manifested in the gracious lines of the climbing tree trunks and the curving patterns of the foliage forms that recall the art of Gauguin and hark back to the Japanese print: "It is obvious that this one single line, ascending most gently, descending most sweetly, undulating in great, calm waves, rising harmoniously and sliding symmetrically, creates beautiful, rounded shapes, occasionally soaring upwards with vigorous, adolescent agility only to return with a seagull's lightness to a gentle rhythm."
Whereas Cezanne taught him compositional discipline, Gauguin and the Pont-Aven School encouraged him to maintain the expressive use of line and elevate the horizon extending the pictorial surface to the limits of the canvas without the illusion of receding space.
This predilection for arabesque lines that allude to human silhouettes, curvilinear motifs that tend to escape from the boundaries of the canvas, rhythmic flame-like patterns and wonderful colours, including a set of eye-smacking mauves and lavenders,
invest Maleas' picture with art-nouveau touches, moving it towards the poetic and inspiring atmosphere of symbolism. It can be argued that, judging from the predominance of elaborate natural motifs, the painter intended to submit the man-made environment to a natural order; not only does the foliage outsize the Parthenon, it also crowns the monument! As noted by Professor A. Kotidis in his monograph on the artist, "this is an eloquent allusion, typical of Maleas' symbolism: human creations are finite and transient, while nature is infinite and eternal."
Another reading, equally symbolist, may suggest that the painter aspired to a creative fusion of nature and culture on equal terms: as much awesome as nature may be, the Parthenon's timeless simplicity and beauty is nothing short of miraculous.
Bathed in the eternal Greek light, the Acropolis of Athens remains a cultural ideal and an everlasting icon of artistic excellence. It is not only an outstanding creation but also a model of perfection, a kind of absolute canon for the evaluation of all achievement.
The monuments on the sacred rock have always had the power to inspire wonder and stir the heart, showing the world how true and alive balanced thought can be. "Nowhere and at no time has art achieved such perfect harmony with nature as in this imposing and sublime monument. The Acropolis of Athens is the noblest altar that human genius ever erected to Beauty."

Dominating the countryside around Aix-en-Provence, Mont Sainte-Victoire belongs to the family of sacred mountains: Olympus, Sinai, Tabor.
During Maleas' six-year stay in Paris (1901-1907), van Gogh and Cezanne had major retrospectives, while Matisse participated in ground-breaking group shows. 'While we lack conclusive evidence that Maleas was acquainted with these legendary figures, a multitude of elements from his expressive language suggests close familiarity with their work.' Kotidis, pp. 23-25. See also pp. 267-307.
