World renowned course architect Rees Jones designed The Oxfordshire's Championship golf course, which was his first in the U.K. He gave the course 135 bunkers and 4 unmissable lakes.
With strategically-contoured holes that blend effortlessly into the natural beauty of the surrounding countryside, Jones's masterpiece is a links-style course which is a challenge for all golfers of any ability.
Some of the game's greats have teed it up here in competition, with Seve Ballesteros, Colin Montgomery, Nick Faldo and Darren Clarke included. With such pedigree, it is no wonder that The Oxfordshire is by far one of the best courses within the BB&O.

Ways To Have Your Pizza
Ham with Pineapple - Despite the above spewed rhetoric vis-a-vis your choices from a panoply of toppings, I must point out that there are some combinations that run crossways with the boundaries of human decency and shouldn't be considered by normal, well-adjusted people as viable options. Ham with Pineapple is once such topping combo and it's as hateful and ill-conceived as they come. I mean, it's pineapple! Sweet and vibrant, yes, and lovely in a fruit salad, but worse than having your eye gouged out with a rusty nail when combined with tomato sauce and hot cheese. And it's ham! A Christmas meat best served in slices next to some sort of festive, holiday casserole or perhaps eaten from a plastic bag late at night while standing in your parents kitchen drunk on egg nog. IT SHOULD NOT BE COMBINED WITH PINEAPPLE ON A PIZZA, AT ANY COST!!! Together, they're like Leopold & Loeb or Bonnie & Clyde or Loggins & Messina... a duo that causes only pain, sorrow, and death.
Pepperoni and Black Olive - Home. Or, I should say, home cooking. My mother... god love her, she's a saint... was never much of a kitchen whiz, particularly during my childhood. I mean, she wouldn't burn the house down or anything, and she could bust out a mean taco salad or banana pudding when pressed, but nonetheless... Martha Stewart be not proud. Thus, we were frequent customers of our local Domino's chain, to the point where their delivery number was actually on our speed dial (not kidding), occupying the spot right after the grandparents. Pepperoni and Black Olive pizza was and is my mother's favorite topping combination and even today it reminds me of Thursday nights at the Davis household, watching ER and arguing during commercial breaks about my lackluster performance in the early days of high school. You wouldn't think a slice of crappy, mass-produced pizza could stir up feelings of nostalgia for one's misspent youth, but hey... here we are.
Bacon with Extra Bacon - This tale is not my own, but it is one that must be told as it is truly the finest real-world example of Icarus flying too close to the Sun that I personally have ever heard. One night, during her college days, Girlfriend and some of her friends decided that they hated their hearts and wanted to punish them in a manner both cruel and delicious. So they ordered a pizza, topped with bacon, and then topped again with yet more bacon! It was, in fact, the bacon-iest pizza in all the land, perhaps even the bacon-iest thing to ever exist ever in the history of cured pork fried up and slapped upon other types of food. But sadly, woefully, the abundance of bacon proved to be mistake. It was too extreme. Too fatty... too salty... too much of a good thing, truly, and in the end, no one could finish an entire slice. To quoth Girlfriend herself, "It was like seeing god and going blind. It was TOO much bacon." They lay down on the floor, defeated, their feathers and melted wax strewn around them, beaten but wiser. The sun burns, my children, and the bacon... well, you really gotta take it easy with the bacon.
The Works - Fuck yes. The aforementioned Horn of Plenty? This is where you take that motherfucker and shake it all over a round slab of dough covered with sauce and cheese. Every vegetable in the world, every meat that's ever wandered the Earth... all of it combined in a symphony of flavor that makes the Boston Pops look like a bunch of old trannies shitting in a tuba. You literally cannot get any higher up Pizza Mountain than a properly prepared Works-style pie. It's the apex, the acme, the place where you plant your countries flag and scream out into the great, wide, delicious expanse, "This pizza... this is MINE and I am it's GOD!!!" Things can get a bit problematic if they've got the new guy on the line and he goes overboard with the green olives, say, or skimps on the onions like onions were made of solid gold or something, but whatever. It's mostly the best thing that will ever happen to you in the landscape of savory baked goods.

You all of the sudden decide you want to get rid of all the pieces in your shoe closet and wish to begin fresh, and then here is a quick information to remember whenever you go shoe buying. Curves has a quite simple concept: low-cost, fast train for girls only, with no-frills areas suited to middle-aged shoppers of common build. Those that have ever shopped at a small/speciality online retailer are extra seemingly than the common shopper to say they take pleasure in purchasing (55{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} to 45{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471}). At his firm, women make up the vast majority of sales associates and are heavily represented within the marketing division.
No matter gender, Sunday is an important purchasing day of the week, although at warehouse membership stores, Saturday is almost as necessary. Health care was a supply of frustration for ladies in our survey—and for middle-aged respondents in particular. Making matters worse, ladies typically pay considerably more than males do for medical health insurance.
Apart from offering reductions on products via sales, LimeRoad Men & Girls Shopping additionally lets you avail reductions on certain merchandise via LR credits. In the meantime, men lead high-finish monthly information exercise on their devices with actions comparable to surfing the Web (31{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} for men vs. 29{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} for women), studying and sending e-mail (33{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} vs. 30{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471}) and downloading apps (24{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} vs. 21{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471}). He speculates that this responsibility contributes to girls's more acute shopping consciousness and higher expectations. Maybe contributing to H&M's success is the fact that practically 80{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} of the corporate's workers, seventy seven{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} of store managers, and forty four{48a54f57161b2b05d7f896f36511d3960edc57f2e51ce68ff70988f02b845471} of country managers are women.
Companies that likewise efficiently tailor their offerings to girls will be positioned to win when the financial system begins to get well. But even so, women are basically dissatisfied with magnificence choices, and the way in which the business is evolving keeps them from spending as much as they might. As commercialism grew and grew, advertisers continued to tell women that purchasing was a liberating technique to act on one's personal needs and control one's future.

With this AGL EZ Dig Pro 4 Sensor Excavator Grade Control System Your machine stays productive! The EZ Dig Pro is a real-time depth control system for excavators and backhoes. This one-person system uses no stakes or rod readings -- you see information in the cab, as you work.
The EZ Dig Pro provides precise grade control for digging a fixed depth or a slope, without the expense of another person in the excavation to check depth. The machine stays productive! The calibrated system ensures consistent and accurate grade readings, saving time and money by reducing over-cutting. If you've been checking grade with a laser or optical instrument and grade rod, using this system will keep the machine and operator fully productive. If you've been using a machine-mounted laser receiver, there's no need to stop digging to place the bucket and dipper stick in the same vertically plumb position each time you want an accurate reading.
You know exactly where the bucket is at all times. The display panel and the LCD screen direct you to the desired depth and slope. Depth and slope information is transmitted to the control panel at a frequency
of 20 times per second, providing the operator with real-time information to the position of the bucket. There is no lag time with the EZ Dig Pro system! The See-through display and LCD control box allows you to watch the ditch, bucket, and display in the same view. Both have strong suction cup mounts.
Quick installation; simple handling
The EZ Dig Pro can be installed and calibrated in
45 minutes or less using its patent-pending software.
Sensor with laser receiver eliminates resetting elevation reference when excavator is moved. Cut-and-cover applications to a fixed depth for water, gas, and cable lines may not require a laser, and a regular sensor can be substituted for the laser receiver sensor.

Comings and Goings…(Flaherty #92)
As the first weekend of the regular season has finished – a few things to recap for former Boise Hawks.
Congratulations to Ryan Flaherty ('08), who made his MLB debut on Saturday for the Baltimore Orioles (as a defensive replacement at third-base), becoming the 92nd former Hawk to play in the Big Leagues.
Sunday was a big day for Jeff Samardzija ('06 – pictured left), who tossed eight and two-third innings to help the Cubs to a 4-3 win over Washington, striking out eight. Josh Harrison ('08 – pictured below) entered the game as a pinch-runner in the ninth, scoring the game-winning run on an Andrew McCutchen RBI single for the Pirates in a Sunday walk-off win over the Phillies. Brett Jackson ('09) was also in the act at AAA, tripling in the winning run in the 10th of an Iowa win over Round Rock.
Today also was a downer for many former Hawks, as Baseball America released the latest transaction report – which included nine players who wore Boise uniforms – Hector Mayora ('11), Juan Serrano ('10), Cam Greathouse ('10/'11), Marquez Smith ('07), and Matt Camp ('06) by the Cubs, Felix Pie ('02) by the Indians, Andy Sisco ('02) and Ryan Acosta ('07) by the Dodgers, and Josh Lansford ('06/'09) by the Athletics.
On the flip side, 21 former Boise Hawks are currently on AA rosters – 17 with the Tennessee Smokies, the Cubs' Southern League affiliate, inclduing Jeff Antigua ('09), Dallas Beeler ('10), Alberto Cabrera ('07), Marcus Hatley ('08/'10), Trey McNutt ('09), Brooks Raley ('10), Dae-Eun Rhee ('10), Ryan Searle ('09), Joe Zeller ('10/11), Michael Brenly ('08), Justin Bour ('10), Matt Cerda ('09), Jonathan Mota ('05), Rebel Ridling ('08), Elliot Soto ('09), Logan Watkins ('09), and Jae-Hoon Ha ('09). Others at AA include Jesus Valdez ('05) in Harrisburg, Aaron Kurcz ('10) in Portland, Erik Hamren ('08) in San Antonio, and Hak-Ju Lee ('09) in Montgomery.

Vans Celebrates Its Fans and Their Lifestyles With Incredible Documentary Series
'Living Off the Wall'
Vans has released an ambitious new documentary project titled "Living Off the Wall" with a gorgeous scrolling website and so much great content that no one in their right mind has time to watch it all.
But of course, I watched it all for you. Check out the documentary on the East Los Angeles punk scene for some of the best-cut stuff. The documentarian Angela Boatwright has a special way of capturing wayward teen anger that capitalizes on every eye roll and seamlessly blends with the alternative perspective of the Vans brand.
While the Vans viewpoint is present with content about skateboards, tattoos, motorbikes and punk and gypsy lifestyles, the shoes are conspicuously silent. No one talks about his or her shoes. There are no shoe glory shots where you just stare at a pair of Vans. Just digestible mini-docs about the brand's consumers and their lifestyles, perfect for those with drug-altered attention spans. It's brilliant.
Vans fans who want to join in can become documentarians themselves. All of the content they submit is available at Vans Off the Wall TV network and app. The whole thing just reeks of authenticity.

Anderson named St. John's head coach
Former Arkansas coach Mike Anderson has been hired as the next head coach of St. John's, the school announced Friday.
"My family and I are extremely excited to join the St. John's University community," Anderson said in a statement. "This basketball program is rooted with such great tradition and it has a history built by legendary coaches, so this is a humbling experience. I look forward to mentoring the young men who will represent St. John's proudly on the court, in the classroom and in our community."
Anderson will be introduced at a news conference at 1 p.m. ET Friday.
He takes a job that proved difficult to fill after Chris Mullin stepped down earlier in the month. The school's first choice to replace Mullin, Arizona State coach Bobby Hurley, decided to stay in Tempe and signed a contract extension. St. John's then pursued Loyola-Chicago's Porter Moser, but Moser turned down the Red Storm after visiting the Queens campus and having an interview. Iona's Tim Cluess withdrew his name from consideration Thursday morning.
Anderson was fired by Arkansas last month after eight seasons as Razorbacks coach. During his time in Fayetteville, Anderson led Arkansas to the NCAA tournament three times. Prior to taking over at Arkansas, Anderson spent five seasons at Missouri, taking the Tigers to three NCAA tournaments — including an Elite Eight run in 2009. Anderson also was the head coach at UAB for four seasons, winning at least 20 games every year and advancing to the NCAA tournament three times.
The Birmingham, Alabama, native began his coaching career as an assistant under Nolan Richardson, first at Tulsa, his alma mater, for three seasons, and then at Arkansas for 17 seasons in various roles.
Mullin, the greatest player in program history, was in charge of the Red Storm for four seasons. He led St. John's to an NCAA tournament appearance this season, his first since taking over as head coach, but the Red Storm lost in the First Four to Arizona State.
After the season, Mullin had multiple contentious meetings with athletic director Mike Cragg, leading to speculation on his job status. Mullin announced his resignation the day after the national championship game.

It's the plight of the crash test dummy. As automatic safety features on cars improve, life-sized plastic dolls are becoming obsolete, and they're not happy about it.
So goes the silly but illustrative concept behind a new campaign from Toyota and Saatchi & Saatchi Los Angeles. A third ad launching today joins two from April in examining the changing lives of inanimate objects.
The latest spot, shot in the pseudo-documentary interview style of reality television, focuses on Stan, a dummy who's trying to find a new purpose, now that Toyota's suite of preventative tech has rendered his old job irrelevant.
He tries to find thrills in all kinds of ways—skydiving, as a CPR dummy, strapping himself to a football blocking sled. Nothing quite compares, though, to barreling into a concrete wall at 35 miles an hour.
The 90-second ad goes a little deeper into the metaphor than the earlier, shorter commercials, which demonstrated the safety selling points through set pieces focused more on actual humans (a pair of scientists testing the features; a couple riding in a car). Those also teased the crash test dummy concept (a break room full of the dolls, dressed like set extras, gets awkward when they overhear a lab coat suggesting they might not be needed).
Toyota's safety suite—branded "Toyota Safety Sense"—includes computerized tools like collision detection with automatic braking and lane drift detection with corrective steering, which come standard on a number of new 2017 models like the Prius and Corolla.
For someone relegated to the junk pile by those features, Stan is surprisingly willing to sell them. Then again, the whole point is that he's upbeat about his own demise. And to be fair, he has landed on his feet, in another job benefiting disproportionately from the absence of soft organs—though thankfully, he won't have to be upright for long.

Twenty-four-year-old Natalie Garcia started using Botox two years ago. Why would anyone that age turn to Botox? You may be surprised to learn that Botox can prevent future wrinkling. "I like having nice skin, it makes me feel confident, so why not? When my skin actually starts aging, during my later years, I think it'll be beneficial." Natalie is not the only 20-something to use Botox. CBS Chicago, Dec. 4, 2012, reports on the growing trend of young people who get Botox injections to prevent wrinkles, not to erase them.
This trend is not limited to women. Twenty-seven-year-old Blake Troiani started getting Botox injections this year. "Forehead lines were my biggest concern. I think they make you look older, a little more tired." Since receiving his injections, he's enjoyed compliments from family and friends that he looks rejuvenated and much younger.
The science behind Botox is simple. Botox works by blocking nerve signals to the facial muscles. If you start using Botox at a younger age, you'll need injections less often because attacking the fine lines early on will prevent future deep wrinkles from forming. "Because the muscles can't move anymore, those lines don't get etched into the skin," said the co-director of cosmetic dermatology at Rush University Medical Center. He also said, "Some people, they can go seven, eight, nine months even a year without Botox because they just keep those muscles in check."
Doctors said patients could become addicted to Botox injections, because they love the results. The average cost is $200 to $600 for each area on your face that's treated. To start out, to keep your forehead wrinkle free, most people need Botox injections every three to four months.
If you're interested in Botox injections, follow these rules to get the best results: have the injections in a licensed medical facility, make sure you are being injected with Botox cosmetic and, most important, make sure your injector is board-certified in an appropriate specialty such as plastic surgery or dermatology.

REIT offers to buy real estate of Pinnacle Entertainment
A real estate investment trust spun off from Penn National Gaming on Monday offered to buy the real estate owned by rival regional operator Pinnacle Entertainment of Las Vegas for $4.1 billion.
March 9, 2015 - 2:25 pm
A real estate investment trust spun off from Penn National Gaming on Monday offered to buy the real estate owned by rival regional operator Pinnacle Entertainment of Las Vegas for $4.1 billion.
Gaming and Leisure Properties Inc. said in a statement the proposed transaction would create the third largest triple-net REIT by enterprise value.
Peter Carlino, chief executive officer of GLPI, said the company approached Pinnacle's board of directors in January about a proposed transaction, but the regional casino operator didn't responded. GLPI, which is based in Wyomissing, Pa., sent a letter to Pinnacle's board Monday outlining the concept.
Pinnacle, which operates 15 regional casinos in eight states, announced plans last year to split the company into a REIT, in which one company would own the real estate and another company would operate the casinos.
GLPI has now offered to acquire Pinnacle's casino sites and lease the properties back to them. Pinnacle shareholders would receive shares with an aggregate value of $36 a share, or a 30 percent premium over Pinnacle's closing price on Friday.
Shareholders in Pinnacle would continue to own the operating company and would also receive 0.5517 shares of GLPI for each share of Pinnacle.
Pinnacle would pay $358 million a year in rent to GLPI to manage the casinos.
Carlino said Pinnacle, four months after announcing the REIT plans, has still not provided any specifics.
"GLPI's straightforward proposal has a much faster path to completion and much less risk going forward," Carlino said. "Our proposed transaction would create both immediate and longer-term value for the shareholders of both companies."
GLPI said the plan would allow Pinnacle to complete its REIT structure without having to sell $700 million in stock.
In a statement, Pinnacle said it would "carefully review and evaluate GLPI's proposal to determine the course of action that it believes is in the best interest of the company and its shareholders."
The company said it dismissed GLPI's original proposal in January as not having a greater value than the company's own plan.
"The company indicated its willingness to engage in discussions with GLPI under appropriate terms, which GLPI refused," Pinnacle said.
REITs, by law, don't pay federal income taxes. With real estate as their primary source of income, REITs are required to distribute at least 90 percent of their taxable earnings to shareholders.
In 2013, Penn National split off 21 of its 29 casinos and racetracks — including M Resort — into GLPI. The properties are leased back to Penn through a management contract.
Carlino said the offer by GLPI would help Pinnacle complete the REIT deal without have to set up a whole new company with an operating team and management.
"Our proposal starts with Pinnacle's fundamental decision to separate into two companies and enhances that approach with a better transaction offering certain and superior value to Pinnacle shareholders and doing so much sooner," Carlino said.
Analysts expressed initial support for the GLPI offer.
"Given that Pinnacle has a fairly diverse investor base and no dominant insider shareholders, we believe the board and management will have to seriously consider this offer," said Credit Suisse gaming analyst Joel Simkins.
Macquarie Securities gaming analyst Chad Beynon said the proposal was in line with the value that Pinnacle had placed on standalone conversion.
"With GLPI's corporate structure already set up, it would rid Pinnacle the need to find a separate management team and do a lot of heavy lifting and paper work," Beynon said.
Stifel Nicolaus Capital Markets gaming analyst Steven Wieczynski said the transaction was one way for GLPI to ensure that another competitive gaming REIT is formed.
"We believe GLPI's proposed acquisition of Pinnacle real estate assets makes sense for both parties and should be supported by its shareholders," Wieczynski said.
Pinnacle doubled in size in 2013 when the company acquired rival Ameristar Casinos in a $2.8 billion transaction. In Nevada, Pinnacle operates two casinos in Jackpot near the border with Idaho. In addition to its casino holdings, the company holds a majority ownership and management contract for a racetrack near San Antonio.
Shares of Pinnacle surged on the New York Stock Exchange, closing at $31.61, up $4.19 or 15.28 percent. Shares of GLPI closed at $36.43 on the Nasdaq, up $4.06 or 12.54 percent.
The news also boosted other regional casino operators. Boyd Gaming Corp. closed at $14.50, up 58 cents or 4.17 percent on the New York Stock Exchange. Penn National was up 30 cents or 1.88 percent to close at $16.23 on the Nasdaq. Shares of Isle of Capri Casinos closed at $13.10 on the Nasdaq, up 23 cents or 1.79 percent.

-Coolest Sculpting was created for the health conscious person, who works out, eats right but still have stubborn fat that won't ever seem to go away. This easy procedure kills fat simply by cooling it! No surgery, no scars, no anesthesia and real results!
How Does Coolest Sculpting Work?
Very simply, by freezing the fat with Coolest Sculpting, fat is destroyed permanently by 20-25% with each application/treatment. Harvard scientists studied placing cold on fat for a specific duration of time, they found that the fat can be killed off completely and permanently. Voila, Coolest Sculpting was born! Since its inception. The treated cells will die over a three day period post treatment. They are then removed from the body by regular embolization and the lymphatic drainage system over a period of a few months.
Why Does Coolest Sculpting Work When Diet and Exercise Do Not?
Chances are, you have some problem areas, these problem areas contain more fat cells than the adjacent areas. Thus these stubborn areas are the last to see results with diet and exercise since it contains the most amount of fat cells. This is why Coolest Sculpting is such a great option to finally reduce these stubborn areas.
Fat Never Goes Away With Weight Loss
When adults gain weight (excluding obesity) the fat cells are simply getting bigger. When you lose weight, these very fat cells just get smaller. Thus, the fat gained is NEVER lost.
This is why Coolest Sculpting is such a great option. Once treated with Coolest Sculpting, that number of fat cells begin reducing. With repeated treatments, the fat bulge can be eliminated to a minimal state.
Once destroyed the body's natural processes remove the fat from targeted treatment areas.
What is a Coolest Sculpting Treatment Like?
When you decide to treat with Coolest Sculpting, certain "applicators" are chosen for the specific area you want treated.
When these applicators are put on your body, a vacuum pulls and holds the fat between cooling plates, which then freeze the fat to a temperature that will freeze the area to a solid block of ice. Yup, that is right, your fat will be frozen solid.
This stimulates a process called apoptosis which is a programmed cell death. No other cells or organs are harmed, just fat.

Purchase of Immovable Property from Non-Resident situated in India
Prior Approval of RBI:
Section 9 of FERA prohibits any payment by a resident to any non-resident except with prior general or special permission from Reserve Bank of India, even the earnest or token money to the non-resident, as a mark of completion of the negotiations for the transaction.
The first liability comes under section 195 of the Act (Other Payments to Non-Residents), as per the section, if any person
- who is responsible for paying to a non-resident, not being a company, or to a foreign company,
- any interest or any other sum chargeable under the provisions of this Act (not being income chargeable under the head "Salaries") shall,
- at the time of credit of such income to the account of the payee or at the time of payment thereof in cash or by the issue of a cheque or draft or by any other mode, whichever is earlier,
- deduct income-tax thereon at the rates in force.
Selling of immovable property by a Non Resident Indian is taxable under the income tax under Chapter XII-A of the Income Tax Act, more specifically under section 115E of the Income Tax Act 1961.
The rate of tax prescribed and in force is twenty per cent.
Tax should be deducted by the payer at the rate in force or any lesser rate as certified by the Assessing Officer in a Certificate issued by him.
The application for the deduction at lesser rate of tax can be made either by the payer or the recipient in the prescribed forms to the Assessing Officer with the necessary documents.
If the Non Resident Indian does not have Permanent Account Number, the rate of tax will be 20%, irrespective of any certificate issued by the Assessing Officer.
It means the liability for deduction of tax from the payment arises or not shall be understood once it is settled that the sum which is being paid to non-resident is chargeable to Income Tax.
To understand the same we should first understand
- Section 5- Scope of Total Income
- Section 9- Income deemed to accrue or arise in India
Let us understand section 5 first.
Section 5(2) is as follows:
(2) Subject to the provisions of this Act, the total income of any previous year of a person who is a non-resident includes all income from whatever source derived which—
- is received or is deemed to be received in India in such year by or on behalf of such person or
- accrues or arises or is deemed to accrue or arise to him in India during such year.
Now it is clear that the payment being made to non – resident shall be included in the scope of Total Income once the any of the two conditions set out in section 5(2) satisfies. The first condition is clear, for second condition let us go through the sub section 1 of section 9 which is as follows:
Section 9(1):
(1) The following incomes shall be deemed to accrue or arise in India:—
- all income accruing or arising, whether directly or indirectly, through or from any business connection in India, or through or from any property in India, or through or from any asset or source of income in India or through the transfer of a capital asset situated in India.
From the above proposition it is clear that the payment being made to Non-resident for purchase of immovable property in India is chargeable to Income Tax since the income accruing to Non-Resident is from the transfer of capital asset which is situated in India.
Now once it is cleared that the sum payable is chargeable to Income Tax Act, TDS must be deducted under section 195. Question is how much TDS to be deducted and from which amount?
If you read the section 195(1), you will find that the section talks about the sum paying to Non-Resident. The sum means the whole amount of sale consideration to be paid. It means tax to be deducted from sale consideration paying, not from the capital gain.
Now Sub-section (2) to section 195 further provides that:
- in cases where the person is responsible
- for paying any sum chargeable to income-tax in India
- to a non-resident and
- he considers that the whole of the amount of payment may not be income assessable to
- tax in the hands of the recipient,
- he may make an application to the Assessing Officer to determine,
- by a general or special order, the appropriate proportion of the sum payable as being
- chargeable to tax and
- thereby obtain an advance ruling from the Assessing Officer
- with regard to the income assessable and the tax payable thereon.
- If that is done, the tax shall be deducted under section 195(1) only in that proportion in
- which the payment to the non-resident becomes taxable in India.
It means if no such application is made and instruction is received from the Assessing Officer in this regard TDS have to be deducted from whole amount paying as sale consideration.
The person responsible for payment shall obtain TAN number and deduct the TDS and issue the Non-Resident form 16A.
If the Non – Resident finds that his tax had been excessive deducted then he should compute his Income tax liability and claim the refund by filing his return of Income in India.
However, provisions under the Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements must be looked into to understand the stand taken there regarding taxation of capital gain.
In most of the DTAA made between India and other nations, capital gain is to be taxed in the country where the capital asset is situated.
It means there is no capital gain shall be taxed twice in the country of resident of non – resident.
To sum up the resident buying property from Non – Resident should deduct TDS from the whole sale consideration before making payment to him. The amount on which rate of TDS shall be applied is not the net income that sale consideration payable to NR minus cost of acquisition to him, but it is whole sale consideration.
Also last but not least, the provision is applicable on every person responsible for making payment to Non-Resident, be it individual, HUF, Firm, Company etc.

Salt Lake City took another step toward toasting neighborhood bars on Tuesday as the City Council finalized a set of conditions for Andy's Place, a beer tavern at 479 E. 300 South that has requested a zoning amendment in order to serve liquor.
If stamped by the City Attorney's Office, the conditional use, permitting neighborhood bars in residential mixed-use districts, would take effect later this spring. The zone includes a 12-block swath just east of downtown -- roughly from South Temple to 400 South, as well as pockets of the capital, including near west Capitol Hill, 1000 South and Main Street and just south of the Salt Lake Bees' baseball park.
To pour spirits along with beer, neighborhood bars must fashion a security plan, add landscaping buffers, light parking areas and abstain from any outside amplified music. The more Draconian measures proposed by some council members were scrapped. Such as mandating Breathalyzer tests, mounting cameras to record patrons and limiting a bar's business hours .
Besides Andy's, JAM in the Marmalade district has submitted a similar zoning amendment permit in order to stock booze above its beer taps. The city is expected to rule on that request later this year. Cheers!

Discussion in 'Texas Supercharger locations' started by ggies07, Jan 7, 2017.
Woot! Woot! This is would awesome.
Tesla considers plugging into Southlake Town Square
"We won't tow or enforce or anything like that."
Why not?
Don't bank on charging there....they just opened the Naples, FL store in a mall and it is roped off and only for store Demo use.
He's probably trying to appease other tenants, as the spots are in a fairly desirable location.
In any event, Southlake has an electric vehicle ordinance that covers this and I'll be at the City Council meeting on the 17th to make the pitch.
Nice! I've been wanting more Tesla exposure in Southlake since the Model S came out. It's about time....the clientele is there for the S, X, and 3.
I'm an ex Southlake home-owner. Definitely a good spot for sales.
It is a good location exiting the metroplex and topping-off point for a few extra comfort electrons on westbound/northbound travel entering the supercharger network. And a good location for out-of-towners needing a range boost when visiting the metroplex - you can find a lot of things to do at this location while charging.
I hope they find a way to make charging available for travelers, unlike Northpark, and get some higher power on the hpwc. Would be extra good if they put some DC charging there but that's really wishful thinking.
What we need now is an additional service center. The one near Love Field airport is very hard to reach during week days.
There is a sizable number of Teslas in northern Plano, Frisco area (probably I guess the highest concentration of Teslas in the DFW metroplex). They need to open one near the 121 corridor before M3 hits the market.
I was in the Cedar Springs service center last Friday and Saturday. It was very quiet with little activity - which I think is a very good thing. There was one X on display on Friday which was missing the next day - apparently sold ! There was no X even to look at and sit inside. There were 3 white X waiting for customer delivery.
Contrast that to 6 months ago, there were a dozen X waiting for some service work or other to be done. Didn't see a single X now for any service work. Proof that problems have come down quite a bit in the last few months.
According to NCTCOG, the numbers are comparable to those in NE Tarrant County. A service center located in Lewisville would be equally inconvenient for all of us. Until then, service centers in Houston are somewhat more convenient for me than Cedar Springs.
The Southlake City Council votes 6-0 at the first reading to move forward a zoning change and specific use permit that would potentially allow Tesla to operate a Gallery and six charging spaces across from the Apple Store. Second Reading and Public Hearing on February 7. Come join us! It will be a party.
We enjoyed a great conversation and you can enjoy it too! All 51 minutes of it here as item 7C: January 17, 2017 City Council - Southlake, TX
Local guys should get a charging station at central market grocery store (across the street from the town square). This is a win win, charge up, get groceries. Talk to central market grocery store, since almost every grocery trip ends up in more groceries than you need-- ie the costco effect to a lesser extent...
awesome! Thanks for going and for sharing the updated info. I might try to come to the next one....
Or they charge at home?
Of course, but if i owned Central Market and wanted to get customers buy over priced groceries, and spend at least 30 minutes to one hour shopping and then eating there, and if it costs me $5 per customer, i would eat that cost to get customers to eat at my high end grocery store...
This is true....down on Highway 26 where the latest Whole Foods is, they put in chargers....now, I think they are low level ones, but chargers none the less. So, with this being Southlake, I think Central Market could afford it.
The Whole Foods by my house has L2 charging. My typical observation -
- occasional leaf charging.
- frequent same model S charging. Often with driver sitting in car. Is that part of their affordability plan?
- various model S parking, not plugged in.
Thank you the observations, point?
There are two Blink L2 chargers in a Kroger lot near by. I have never seen an EV charge even once. I don't see why anyone would plug in there anyway, when they plug in at home overnight. What you get around 15 miles an hour? Big deal.
L2 opportunity chargers are a waste, but great as a destination charger.
L3 is of course beneficial all the time.
I persinally don't think it brings Whole Foods any significant business. But my bigger observation, and I'm reminded every visit, is that people are cheap and self centered
I havent studied behavioral economics, but i'm fairly certain that by nature alot of people are penny pinchers, and will go the extra mile for cheap gas, double coupons, etc, yet still have high end large expenditures. An L2 or L3 charger is cute, a SC would really drive business. I'm surprised the people at the outlets at Tejon ranch have not figured this out-- put their own SC their, and capture customers for an unplanned/planned shopping trip while charging.

After the course, students will be familiar with the outline of Finnish history and its context in European and global history.
Students are able to describe in general terms the historical change of the area.
The course topics will emphasize comparative perspective of Finnish history in its Northern, Scandinavian, Baltic and European context from the early modern period to contemporary EU-Finland. Special emphasis will be given to versatile course materials (lectures, reading materials, videos, news articles, museum tips, websites etc.), taking into account students' competence in English and former knowledge of the subjects at hand. Discussions during the lectures will check students' understanding of the topics and challenge their critical thinking on history, whereas the learning diary (c. 8–10 pages) will encourage studying further their chosen topic/period within the course outline. Topics for learning diaries will be agreed with the teacher, and each student will get personal supervision and feedback on his/her paper.

Dejounte Murray is star is on the rise as he starts for the San Antonio Spurs
Despite the absence of injured stars Kawhi Leonard and Tony Parker the Spurs play well and are 34-20, good for third place in the packed Western Conference. But we kind of expected it. The biggest surprise is Dejounte Murray, a 21-year-old point guard whose all-around contributions have made quite the difference.
It's no secret that Murray is a piece of Spurs' future. He was selected in the first round of the 2016 NBA draft with the 29th overall pick. He joined the Spurs for the 2016 NBA Summer League, and on July 14, signed his rookie scale contract with the team. On October 29, 2016, in the Spurs' third game of the 2016–17 season, Murray made his NBA debut.
During his rookie campaign, he became the youngest player in Spurs history to score at least 24 points, breaking Parker's record and just the fourth rookie in franchise history to record a point/rebound double-double in a playoff game, joining David Robinson, Tim Duncan, and Leonard.
In his second season, he's beginning to look like part of the team's core. Murray continues to put up impressive numbers as a rebounding guard. Back in October, Murray became just the second Spurs point guard to have multiple double-digit rebounding performances in the same season, Rod Strickland had two double-digit rebounding games in the 1989–90 season. The sophomore guard now has the most double-digit rebound games by a point guard in Spurs history, 9. Technically, he is tied with Johnny Moore, but if he stays healthy, he will be the leader before the All-Star break.
The new starting point guard is setting Spurs records each week. On January 21, for the first time, Murray started over long-time Spurs starting point guard Tony Parker as a coach's decision by Gregg Popovich. Two days later, he had 19 points, 10 rebounds, and a career-high seven steals, helping the Spurs defeat the Cleveland Cavaliers.
Murray became just the third Spur to ever have a 19/10/7 game (also Tim Duncan, Alvin Robinson). The 21-year-old is averaging 5.3 rebounds per game and three other players on his own team have averaged more boards this season. But don't let that number fool you. His 5.3 rpg is the highest average by a point guard in Spurs franchise history (current full-season record is 4.6 set by Moore in 1984-85 season and matched by Strickland in 1991-92). His current streak of three games with 10-plus rebounds is also a franchise best for a guard.
When Murray can't buy a bucket, he is not a huge detriment to his team, he's rebounding, getting assists steals and blocks. This season he led the team in rebounds eight times, assists 14 times, steals 10 times and in blocks five times. Early this week Murray had a highly productive night for the Spurs in their win over the Nuggets. Murray finished scoreless in over 25 minutes of action but led San Antonio with 13 rebounds and seven assists.
The only other Spurs player to achieve that feat since San Antonio joined the NBA in 1976–77 was Dennis Rodman, who posted a team-high 20 rebounds and eight assists on April 2, 1994, in a scoreless performance. Murray and Rodman are the only two NBA players in the shot-clock era to finish a game without scoring any points and having at least 13 rebounds and seven assists.
Gregg Popovich has never coached a guard like this. Only Manu Ginobili, Derek Anderson, and Danny Green have had a season where they've had double-digit rebounding nights three times in a season. Manu has accomplished that feat twice. Murray would average 10.0 rebounds per 36 minutes based on his production this season (the reigning MVP Russell Westbrook is second among guards with 9.4). To give you some context, Tony Parker never reached 4.0 rebounds per 36 minutes (career-best – 3.9 in the 2004-05 season).
After grabbing a total of just six offensive rebounds during his rookie year (38 games), the second-year player grabbed 68 through 54 games this year and become one of the most productive players at his position. Among players who played at least 1000 minutes this season, Murray is second in offensive rebound percentage (7.3) and defensive rebound percentage (23.4), the only guard who has a better offensive rebound percentage is Andre Roberson (7.9), and the only guard who has a better defensive rebound percentage is Westbrook (24.7).
Popovich has been pleased with Murray's progress. "The more minutes he gets, the better," Popovich said. Through 54 games this season, he's averaging 6.7 points, 2.8 assists, 5.3 rebounds and 0.9 steals, which is not impressive. But those per game stats look solid when you check his starts (21 games): 9.2 points, 7.8 rebounds, 4.1 assists and 1.2 steals. Murray's star is on the rise, in Year 2 of a long journey. He knows there will be highs and there will be lows. But with coach Pop, time and Murray's physical tools he can become a six-time all-star, a Finals MVP, and a four-time NBA champion.
