One of the measures being frequently used by relatively smaller economies to attract foreign investment is ring fencing their tax regime for offshore business companies, that is, providing lower rates of tax for the companies merely registered there but necessarily carrying out business outside that jurisdiction. A few of these jurisdictions, including Mauritius and Cyprus, have committed to the OECD to abide by certain guidelines so that they are not categorised as tax havens.

'Ally' to test missiles in Mediterranean: Cyprus
September 9, 2013
Cyprus said Monday it had been informed that missile tests will be carried out by a "friendly" country in the eastern Mediterranean this week, as the US weighs military strikes against Syria.

Foreign Minister Ioanis Kasoulides told state radio a...
Cyprus eases controls on stricken banks
April 12, 2013
NICOSIA: Cyprus eased from Friday unprecedented eurozone capital controls it imposed to prevent a run on its stricken banking sector, ending restrictions on all transactions under 300,000 euros ($393,000). But a daily cash withdrawal limit of 300 euros is to remain in place for at least the next seven days, the finance ministry decreed. Relaxing the controls had an urgent goal for the government to enable cash-starved businesses to pay staff and suppliers. The ministry also raised...
'Cyprus plan no template for other rescues'

Cyprus court ruling opens way for bailout funds

NICOSIA: The Cypriot supreme court ruled as unconstitutional Friday four bills on bank foreclosures whose passage by parliament prompted international lenders to halt payments on the country's 10-billion-euro ($12.7-billion) bailout. The decision should open the way for Nicosia to receive the next tranche of 436 million euros, which was blocked last month.

Action was taken as Cyprus had failed to provide information sought by Indian tax authorities under the exchange of information...

Aug 9, 2012This film has a voice of its own. And at a time when the romantic comedy seems to be a lost art form, that's saying something.
I will say that it's been a while since a romantic comedy mustered this much charm by looking this much like life.
It's hard to know whether this is a function of the sympathetic screenplay or of Krieger's sympathetic direction - or both - but Celeste and Jesse are endearing even when they do unsympathetic things.
I'm not surprised that Rashida Jones took the lead in writing this screenplay; the way things are going now, if an actress doesn't write a good role for herself, no one else is going to write one.
It's as if we were watching one of those buddy-buddy bromances told, this time, from the perspective of the woman who is normally on the sidelines of the men's attentions and affections. It's a welcome angle.

The Good: A genuinely funny romantic comedy that does things a little differently. A refreshing film as it doesn't fall into the usual cliches that this type of film typically falls victim to. I keep seeing the word "charming" in other reviews for this movie, and that is probably the best word to describe it. Just a very likable movie.
The Bad: Celeste and Jesse are far more entertaining apart than they are together. If I met the two of them in real life I would have to resist the urge to throat punch them as their inside jokes and non-stop quips get old quickly. It is difficult to root for them ever getting back together, though you do root for them to succeed on an individual level. Great supporting cast.… Full Review »

Jul 5, 2014It supposed to be a comedy but instead it's not. I love this story. It's actually gave me a great message about relationship. It's pretty awesome. I thought Andy Samberg would be the main point of the universe but it's just about him, in bad ways. I'm proud of this movie. I'm glad. The cinematography also good and they gave lots of scenes and they were all important. Many of love drama or comedy romantic movies, they gave us many scenes but none of them really matter, but this one movie, each of scenes gave me different issues. The movie put the plot as the impressive story line. Made me being moved, actually. 10? #yes.… Full Review »

Artist Info: How to Price Commissions"The master has failed more times than the beginner has even tried"This is an informative journal to help artists determine fair pricing for commissions, based on my recent poll. I will update this as needed to include new information as it comes in.This is part of an 'Information Series of journals- Stand your ground, know your worth!- [now reading]- Artist Info: Conducting yourself professionally- Client/Buyer info: How to go about commissioning an artist.______________________________________________________________________________________________________________BIG FAT DISCLAIMER
Stand your ground, know your worth!I'm sure a few of you by now have seen the recent ridiculousness regarding a job posted in the forums for a rather "epic" scene to be illustrated "at the starting price of $30".I will do my very best to keep this short (and hopefully organized), but I want everyone to really get a good feel for this and why it's so important.*****This applies to both hobbyist and professional artists*****I know that a lot of you do not do art for a living. You may do art as supplemental income, or maybe you do it strictly for fun. But I want to make something very clear to each and every one of you that does art: if you have the skills, no matter what you consider yourself in regards to the arts industry, make sure you are getting paid for the WORK you are putting in. So to summarize a lot of what all the fuss with job posting is/was about. In the job posting the OP is basically looking for the cheapest possible price they can get by way of 'barterin
You don't have to be a 'pro' to be an artistYou do not need to do art for a living to be a great artist. You don't need fancy tools, either. You don't even have to go to a big expensive art college. Then what DO you need? To love it. Just, enjoy art. Love to do it. Love to explore it. Love to be curious about it. Love to experiment. Love to share it. Love to learn. Why am I bringing this up? Maybe because in our quest for art, we forget WHY we do art. Over the past couple of years I have asked myself if I would be OK with not doing art as my main source of income. I have realized that, I will be happy as long as I can do art and share it, and enjoy the art of others. I always have a need to create so as long as I can work out that creative energy I will be happy.This may sound strange coming from someone who's been seeking that art path for years, but I was reminded today of an extremely skilled and well known artist who actually is only a hobbyist. I wanted to share this to show that you can still strive to be a gr

Important message about sending money via PaypalIt makes a difference how you send moneyHey guys! I just wanted to give a heads up or reminder on using Paypal. This is really really important, so if you send money to people via Paypal please read! This applies mostly if you send money through paypal for things like merchandise/items or commissions online (that is not through a store - in other words typing in their email to send money)Please keep in mind that if you are buying an item or service, you need to mark it correctly. Please do not send payments for items or commissions as gifts (family and friends). This might seem like a really nice thing to do for the artist -I thought so too when I first started using Paypal-, but in actuality you are risking their account to get flagged, locked, or banned. They might just get a warning first but I'm unsure about how their first reaction is.This is serious. Please don't do it.I know there are artists ou
Inspiring and helpful Youtube videos!If you're like me and don't get to see and hang out with a lot of other artists very often, watching Youtube videos is great for getting inspiration and amazing tips and 'conversation' from other artists! I have a few channels on Youtube that I follow and always look forward to every video they release.I have learned SO much from listening to these guys and I highly recommend giving each of these channels a listen!Be sure to go into the channels and watch the rest of the episodes if you liked these! I hope you enjoy =]------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Will Terrell does a series called "People Sketching" which is absolutely fantastic! He talks about his experiences and personal thoughts on being an artist, and everything that is involved with it. He takes a personal approach and expands his views on not only doing art, but also how we think about it. Much of what he says can really help us approach things in a way
Artist Info: Attitude is EverythingThis is going to have two general parts: Inward attitude (the way you perceive yourself) and Outward Attitude (how you express yourself to others)Inward AttitudeThink about an artist you admire or a piece of artwork that you look at and can't help but just stare in aw. How do you see artists that you define as amazing? Are you intimidated by them? Do you ever think "I could never be that good". Or do you see them and their work as simply something to aspire to?When we look at a piece of art that we truly admire, it can be easy to wonder if we could ever reach that level. But, there is an extremely important fact that many people tend to forget or not consider - artists you look up to have tons of horrible work. Online you may only see the polished, finished pieces and think that well, everything they do is amazing, but you don't know about all of their failed attempts. They have sketchbooks with horrible drawings in them. That incredibly amazing p
Secrets to improving your art, and attitudeThis video hits a LOT of points that I believe are key to to being a successful and relatable artist. Are there secrets to success? Perhaps there are, but they may not be where you expect them to be!
When art school is too expensive...You do the next best thing: UTILIZE THE INTERNETMany people simply do not understand how vast and FULL of information the internet is. And I don't just mean "oh there are things out there to read" I mean, stuff you would find in college courses. Stuff that you would otherwise have to PAY for. I might sound like a broken record (again!) but when I really believe that there is something valuable that many aren't taking advantage of, then I feel it necessary to remind them that hey - you don't have to spend a lot of money to learn! (This isn't to say that there aren't things you can really only get in school - because there are things that the internet just can't replace - but you can get close!)If you approach a goal as if you are in school - study it every day, do assignments, and test yourself - then you will learn and get better.

How to get more exposure for your art.I was recently asked for some advice on getting exposure as an artist. Here's my own advice with personal reasons as to why I suggest them. This is not a post for 'bragging', if you take it that way, then please stop reading *i mean this in the nicest way orz* This is stating facts from my experience. What worked for me and what doesn't work. It shows how my own art has gained exposure throughout the years and how yours can too. I am not a fantastic artist, I know what I'm good at and what I struggle with. I work hard for what I know I can push out and I do it proudly. I hope this post will help you earn more followers and give you a bit of inspiration as well.Please note this applies to all sorts of art !-1. Sign up and share your art on the most popular sites that involve artists as a large portion of the community.

Everyone refunded! ETSY SCAM ALERT THIS IS A WARNING FOR EVERYONE WHO SELLS THEIR OWN ART OR GOODS! Although the scam took place through Etsy anyone can be a target! LATEST UPDATE:And probably the last because there's great news! EVERYONE who got scammed is getting their money refunded! I didn't get a personal email but I checked my account and yes, it looks like I get the remaining $160 back as well INCLUDING the chargeback costs PayPal charged me. Although it'll take time to get over this terrible dilemma and build trust again, especially for the artists who almost lost a grand deal of money and need it badly and might still be dealing with the aftereffects, this is certainly a victory to be celebrated at the moment!

The Pitfalls of Speed PaintingI've been meaning to write about this for a while now, but recently a video popped on up Ctrl+Paint about the same topic and it encouraged me to finally talk about it. It's a practice that's been misconstrued and misunderstood for a while now, so I wanted to help people get a proper understanding on the subject.Speed painting has been something of a fad for 4 or 5 years now, even back when I was first starting digital work. Like many artists out there, I thought, "Sweet, I can do really cool work, really fast!" And like many artists out there, in the back of my head I was probably thinking, "This is easier than learning the normal way!"Well, here's the main problem in regards to speed painting. Any of those really cool, realistic and well done speed paintings you see are done by professionals who have been painting for years and years. These a

FREELANCING TIPS: Good jobs and bad jobsThe world of freelance business is populated with all types of clients and artists. If you are a freelancer or a potential client, you will eventually start to recognize the early signs of good and bad job situations. There are some tips and notes below that may help you recognize these signs sooner and therefore improve your ability to connect successfully with good job partners. A client or artist will seldom display all of the good or bad signs described below. However, watching for the following list items may help you to assess a potential workmate as a good risk or a bad one BEFORE work begins. Similarly, if you strive to embody the positive characteristics listed below, they may help you to attract better clients/artists and engage in more successful and fulfilling partnerships.Good qualities in a DA CLIENT/ JOB AD:Client seems polite and professional and reasonable.Client knows what she/he wants and describes the work clearly.Client displays good spelling, grammar an
Starving ArtistThe Starving ArtistThis topic is about rates and wages that an artist should start to consider when taking on a new job. This is my advice, so take this as advice.So let's begin. As an artist you should know right away that you are valuable. You can recreate people's imagination and ideas into reality. You are the one who brings people together to be able to all see the vision for the final product. This is valuable. Keep this in mind when you take new jobs. Think about how many hours you plan on slaving over iteration after iteration. Because even though you may have a voice, if you agree to whatever the arrangement are, you must live up to their standards. So make sure you are paid well.Imagine a client asks you to do 50 hours of work for only $500 dollars. That's $10 an hour. That is not enough. You can go get a job that could pay you as much if not more, without being an artist. I've seen people's salaries as low as 30k a year. This is not acc
How should I price my art?Hi,If you spend a lot of time in the DA forums, you will see this topic spring up again and again. Whether you want to earn a living doing freelance art, or you just want to do an occasional commission, these guidelines may help you: Why is it so difficult to choose a price? Why can't someone look at my art and tell me what to charge? Because it is not just about price and skill level! If three people can draw the same drawing with the same level of skill, one might be able to sell the art for $10, another might be able to sell the art for $100 and the third might not be able to sell it at all depending on how good they are at "marketing" (looking for clients and interacting with them). An artist's ability to seek out clients, choose the right clients, offer a type of work that will sell, communicate effectively, and provide value that their competitors cannot match... is difficult to gauge by looking at a few art samples.The starting price you pick right now doesn't ha

Moving on to Printing!!!!CHAPTER FOUR IS OVER!! A big, huge, thank you to Shadow-Wolf for helping me bring this chapter for life and for illustrating it so marvelously!I'm going to be taking a few months off from 100 Deeds so I can spend some money on getting the first four chapters printed for everyone! This time off will also give me and the next artist time to start prepping for Chapter 5 so we can get some pages done before we begin posting.Don't worry! We'll still be active with some mini comics for everyone to view Does anyone have any recommendations or places where they've printed books before? I've been looking but don't feel like I've found the right fit for 100 Deeds just yet.We'll also be making other things available, like mugs!

10 ARTIST TIPS from yours truly.10 DETAILED ARTIST TIPS - From my own view (related to deviantART):I am too lazy to write a "long" version so I'll throw out tips from time to time. I have been asked for advice many times so here's some advice now! Follow my facebook to get more info!1. Once you have a "very good" customer base, try putting into your commission agreement that you do not accept rushed ordered and can take as long as you'd like.This is risky because you're not making promises to your commissioners. In order to "keep" my customer base, while still not putting pressure on myself, I "reward" patient commissioners by simply doing detailed coloring. The secret to having this agreement be successful is making your final drawing "worth the wait", however long that may be for you is your decision.2. Time management & pricing. This is just something I do, I spent around 5-10 minutes roughing sketching a comm. I do not spend
Don't get played (pt.2) Pricing, ads, etc.This will be someway related to my previous article called "Don't get played" and in this I will be posting a few ideas and tips I have gained over the years on how one could go about: * Pricing their artwork* Gaining more experience and ways to improve* Advertising * and a few other tidbitsSo let's start off with Pricing, shall we? It seems to be a common problem, more so among younger/novice artists who are looking to start selling their work. It looks pretty easy when you look at the more popular/well known artists who have already established a consumer base and seem to be cranking out commissions left and right. However, let me just clear the air on this before we get started -- Fame isn't everything. Now, I know it may seem like it is the key ingredient to getting customers but that's not the case. Yes, being more well known can help bring in more revenue but it's not what gets you started in the first

By Lisa Keen
Originally printed 4/5/2012 (Issue 2014 - Between The Lines News)
Former U.S. Senator Rick Santorum was one of the most virulently anti-gay candidates in the large field of Republican presidential wannabes who started out last year. And most political observers said early on and often that Santorum's harsh positions against gays and same-sex marriage were dooming his chances to carry the GOP mantle into the general election where moderation wins votes.
Santorum stayed in the race, even as more viable Republican candidates dropped out and threw their support to the more moderate former Governor Mitt Romney.
But Santorum announced at a press conference Tuesday in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, that he was suspending his campaign. And in doing so, he gave a subtle nod to Romney.
"While this presidential race for us is over for me and we will suspend our campaign effective today, we are not done fighting," said Santorum. He pledged his support for defeating President Obama's re-election, for keeping Republicans in control of the House, and to help Republicans assume control of the Senate.
Ironically, especially to LGBT people listening to his remarks Tuesday, Santorum counted among his supporters, "people who are overlooked by society or don't seem to be as valuable as others in society."
Santorum repeatedly made statements during nationally televised debates and elsewhere on the campaign that undermined LGBT citizens.
He said he wanted to reinstate the ban on gays in the military and said nothing, during one debate, in defense of a gay soldier being booed. Instead, Santorum characterized the repeal of "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" as "tragic" and said it gave gays a "special privilege." He also boasted of his active campaign to oust three Iowa state supreme court justices who had ruled that the state constitution guaranteed gay couples the same rights as heterosexual couples seeking marriage licenses. And Santorum promised that, if elected president, he would travel the country to try and repeal state laws that allow marriage equality -even in states where voters want to keep those laws.
Santorum's departure now enables Romney to take a great more latitude in playing for voters in the vast middle of the political spectrum, a place that should mean a lot less prominence for positions such as Republican opposition to marriage equality.
Santorum noted that his daughter Bella was hospitalized over the weekend and that she is doing "exceptionally well" now, but he acknowledged that her illness "did cause us to pause and think" about her well-being.
Santorum said his campaign started out as being an effort, as a good parent, to ensure that the "American dream" was possible for all children.
But Santorum or his supporters often tried to exploit hostility towards LGBT people and their families. One group of supporters sent out robo-calls and emails saying that Romney "promoted homosexuality in our elementary schools, and unconstitutionally ordered state officials to make Massachusetts America's first same-sex marriage state." A woman on the recording claimed Romney supported "open homosexuality in the military, the appointment of homosexual judges, and the ENDA law, making it illegal to fire a man who wears a dress and high heels to work, even if he's your kid's teacher."
Straw polls and informal surveys and interviews with gay Republicans indicated that most were supporting Romney and none were supporting Santorum during the party's primaries and caucuses in the early states.

Director of "Lost Town," Jeremy Goldscheider remembers his grandmother talking about the town of Trochenbrod when he was growing up. She was born in Baltimore, but her siblings were all born in the town in Western Ukraine. She told stories of immigrants from Trochenbrod staying at her family's home upon their arrival in the United States.
Years later, when a relative invited him to a Trochenbrod reunion, memories of his grandmother's stories came back to him. He did a bit of research and connected with Avrom Bendavid-Val, who was organizing descendants and survivors of Trochenbrod from all over the world.
"After the first phone call that I had with him I knew that I wanted to tell the story of this town," recalls Goldscheider. "It brought back a lot—it became very personal for me immediately, as it is part of my heritage and my ancestry."
Once a thriving community of 5,000 prior to World War II, the town was decimated by the Nazis. Only 33 people survived the massacre.
One of those survivors was Betty Gold, a Cleveland resident, who is one of the main subjects in "Lost Town." Gold is known in Cleveland as a holocaust educator. She works with the Maltz museum and speaks to high school and college students about her survival.
"She is a great a holocaust educator, not in any kind of academic way," says Goldscheider, "but in a very emotional and real way. She has dedicated her life to Trochenbrod and to holocaust education.
"I hope that the audience will applaud the life of Betty Gold," he continues. "There is a lot more to the story of "Lost Town," but Betty Gold is the most important aspect of it. This is a woman who survived. As a child, she hid in the cold, in the forest, without any food, being hunted by the Nazis. And she survived."
Goldscheider, who also produced "Pablo," which he describes as "the study of a life of a freelance artist in Hollywood, both the personal and professional aspects of it." He collaborates with "Lost Town" co-director Richard Goldgewicht on "Pablo," which Goldgewicht directs.
After working so extensively on films that tell personal stories, Goldscheider has been working to tell more family stories. He has been making short documentary films for families who are interested in preserving their stories for future generations.

Understanding Charities Group launches to improve public trust in the sector

Acevo has reported that civil society faces funding cuts of between £1bn and £5.5bn in the current financial year.
In its internal document Cuts to the Third Sector: What Can We Learn from Transition Fund Applications?, which was leaked to shadow minister for civil society Gareth Thomas, the umbrella body analyses applications to the government Fund. It reports that cuts to the charity sector in the UK in 2011/12 will range from "just under £1bn (£970m) in the very best case scenario, to just over £5.5bn (£5,556.9m) in the very worst case scenario."
Ralph Michell, Acevo's director of strategy, told civilsociety.co.uk that the report gives two clear messages. "Charities are being hit disproportionally hard, and the impact is more severe in the most deprived areas," he said
"Our findings focus on the Index of Multiple Deprivation, rather than specific geographical regions, and show that the correlation between depravation and the volume of applications to the Transition Fund is quite striking," Michell added.
The Report's other findings include:
Gareth Thomas said of Acevo's report: "Charities and community groups across the country have taken a huge and completely disproportionate hit in funding just when demands for their help are rising fast.
"David Cameron's claim that in his Big Society we're all in it together was never credible, but this leaked report confirms that ministers were being given independent evidence showing that charities were going to be hit very hard by funding cuts, with the poorest and most deprived areas being hit hardest. Yet ministers have failed to act, doing next to nothing to help, confirming again just how out of touch they are."
However, a Cabinet Office spokesperson called the report "a misrepresentation". It said in a statement: "[The Report] is only based on applicants to the Fund and not all voluntary organisations. Our analysis shows that some applicants over-stated their expected reductions and therefore we do not consider these figures reliable.
"We recognise this is a difficult time for charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises and that's why we set up the Transition Fund to help them manage the transition to a tighter funding environment and take advantage of future opportunities presented by the Big Society."
Ralph Michell countered that the report gives a range of possible scenarios from optimistic to pessimistic, and that the picture would not be any less dire if it had covered charities who had not applied to the Transition Fund.
Meanwhile, Navca has called for politicians to focus on the effects of charity cuts rather than worry about exact figures.
"Let's not get sidetracked into an argument about whether the cuts are one colossal number or another – the fact is they are happening," said Joe Irvin, Navca CEO. "What we know is the damage they are causing as charities across the country reduce services and lay off staff. We also know that some are being hit harder by unfair and disproportionate cuts.
"The important thing to remember is that the cuts hurt the most disadvantaged communities and vulnerable people most. The elderly, people with disabilities, and children are all suffering as cuts mean charities are less able to support them. The cuts are severe and that is why we have joined with other national organisations to ask George Osborne to use the budget on 21 March to provide extra support for charities working in the most disadvantaged communities."
The Cabinet Office has now published the full Acevo report on its website.
