I feel bad because I want to like this product soo much but I just don't see all the hype about it. I tried the primer and had to return it (my sephora is a good 20 mins away with no traffic so I had to hate it enough to make the trip). It made my lashes a clumpy mess. As did this product. This was slightly less clumpy than the primer but not enough to make me like this. I still had a clumpy mess of my lashes. would not repurchase or recommend.

I really wanted to like this product, but I thought it was terrible. The applicator gets too much of the mascara on it and makes my eyelashes turn into one big clumpy mess. I hate to do it, but I'm tossing this one. A complete waste of money.

I use this when I want a light, natural look. Although the applicator does not hold enough product, it is a great mascara overall. It does not transfer or flake and holds curl really well.

This product was too liquidy for me. It also smudges very easily, although it does look pretty good on. Luckily I got it in a set with other mascaras so I'm not too disappointed in it. I tried it for about a week and a half and gave up.

I can't believe I'm the only one with a good review of this, this stuff is amazing! I've had it for about 3 months now, maybe a little longer, and it's perfect! It gives great volume and length. It's more dramatic than the Lights Camera Lashes, which I also like too. This is perfect for evening looks, and the Lights Camera Lashes for day. This mascara also separates nicely, and does make it seem like my lashes are multiplied. It doesn't flake during the day or smudge, it also doesn't clump...it's incredible! LOVE!

This mascara was a total let down.. the brush is too big for my taste and gets too much product on it. No clumps, but it didn't do much for lengthening.. It actually weighed down my perfectly curled lashes instantly. The formula is too dry. This didn't do anything for my bottom lashes. It's always risky to buy a h/e mascara! Try a sampler pack before you take the plunge!

Meh. Too much product gets on applicator. It gets messy. No thanks.
This was really-terrrible. One lippie!

This dried up in a month. Of course, I didn't pump the mascara, add anything to it, and I made sure to close it tightly. An absolute waste of money.

I got this as a sample at Sephora. The brush is fat but didn't leave me with clumps. The mascara didn't flake during the day. My only gripe is that when I tried to curl my lashes, they didn't curl as well. The mascara makes lashes look longer and fuller. As for permanent length like it claims, I highly doubt that. I probably wouldn't have purchased this at the reg. price.
Age: 30-35
Skin: Combination, Fair-Medium, Neutral
Hair: Brunette, Straight, Medium
Eyes: Hazel
I have been using a sample of this product for about four days and I have been loving it. I am a strictly-Loreal Voluminous user, but it will be replaced with this. If you need length, this is probably not for you. There has been no clumping and it looks naturally like I have more lashes. They feel smooth and there is no smudging throughout the day.

African Air
Abrams, Nov 1, 2008 - Photography - 215 pages
Flying hundreds, sometimes thousands, of feet above ground strapped into a motorized paraglider that is little more than a parachute with a small motor, National Geographic photographer George Steinmetz has spent more than twenty years photographing some of the most remote and spectacular environments around the world. In African Air, Steinmetz captures stunning panoramas in more than fourteen countries in Africa, giving readers captivating and intimate views of areas that have rarely, if ever before, been photographed.
From densely packed urban centers to small, remote villages, from migrating herds of wildebeests and elephants to infinite miles of desert, African Air is a compelling testament and celebration of the majesty and splendor of Africa's most breathtaking landscapes. With extraordinary vision and a unique perspective, Steinmetz portrays sky, land, and water in ways that have never been expressed before.

Face To Face
Face to Face with SPAEN
Since 2010 SPAEN is holding an annual conference bringing European sarcoma groups, experts, pharma and research together. In the last years a growing number of participants demonstrated the increasing interest in the sarcoma field, a rare cancer. Last year around 100 participants from over 25 countries including patient advocates, leading European sarcoma experts and representatives of the healthcare industry joined the meeting and listened to the latest medical news, answered questions and joined discussions. The three day conference focused on research and treatment, advocacy and capacity building. The SPAEN Conferences are in the meantime a welcome opportunity, also for the medical expert, to learn, share and grow. During the last conferences it became clear that there is a common sense between patient advocates, sarcoma experts and the industry that, by working together, research in sarcomas can be completed more quickly and new treatments can be introduced faster. There was also a high level of commitment on the part of every participant, whether they were there as irrespective of being a patient advocate, a clinical expert or an industry representative, to playing their take part in "Changing the World" and doing all that they can contributing their share to improve the outlook make a difference for the benefit of sarcoma patients.
The 6th SPAEN Conference will be held from 19 - 21 November in Paris (France). More details are available here.

Rivers have always been a part of my life. I grew up in Sacramento, a city that began at the spot where two mighty rivers meet. Such placement has always been a risky business, and the levees that hold the waters in place don't seem strong enough many a year.
But even when the Sacramento and American rivers stay where we want them, they're still plenty dangerous – to swimmers, to boaters and to the dogs that love the water as much as we do.
Most times, some caution on the part of their owners – not only around rivers, but near any body of water – would prevent potential problems. The keys to water safety for dogs: prevention, preparedness and awareness.
At this time of year, I always like to remind everyone that yes, dogs drown. And no, they don't know better than to just swim – even when it's dangerous. You need to look out for your pet.
No dog should be given unsupervised access to a backyard pool or a neighborhood pond or creek. Swimming pools are best fenced off for safety. If that's not possible, they should be equipped with alarms that sound when the surface of the water is broken by a child or pet falling in.
Escape ramps are a great idea, but it's better to prevent pets from getting in unsupervised in the first place.
Prevention also includes teaching your pet what to do when it's in the pool. Dogs don't understand the idea that the steps are on one side only, and they may tire and drown trying to crawl out the other side. If your dog likes to swim, work with it in the pool to help it learn where the steps are, so it can get out easily.
Tip: Put contrasting paint or tape on the fence behind the steps to give your dog a visual clue it can count on.
Finally, obedience training is extremely important. Your dog should come when called, even while swimming, so you can call it back before it heads into deeper water or stronger currents.
Emergency shortcut: Always carry extra retrieving toys. A dog that's heading out into a dangerous area after a ball or stick can often be lured back to shore with a second item thrown closer in. It's no substitute for training, but it could save your dog's life.
Before letting your dog swim in any natural surroundings, survey the area for safety. Rivers and oceans can change frequently, and an area that was safe for swimming one visit can be treacherous the next. Consider currents, tides, underwater hazards and even the condition of the water. In the late summer, algae scum on the top of standing water can be toxic, producing substances that can kill a pet that swallows the tainted water.
When in doubt, no swimming. Better safe than sorry.
One of the best things you can do is to take courses in first aid and CPR for your pets. Many local Red Cross chapters offer these classes, and some veterinarians may also teach them in your community. A dog that's pulled out near death from drowning may be saved by your prompt actions – if you know what to do.
If your dog isn't much of a swimmer, or is older or debilitated, get it a personal flotation device. These are especially great for family boating trips because most have sturdy handles for rescue if a pet goes overboard.
Last year, I moved from a neighborhood near one river to a little farm closer to another. This year, I'll be extra careful before I let my retriever swim, because I don't know the hazards here yet, and I need to before I throw a stick into the current for the first time.

I was sitting on a ledge reading a book and waiting for a ride back to my home. While I was reading, I heard someone whistle, and I looked up to see where it came from and why. As I looked up, I saw a car driving by, and the man inside the car was driving slowly by me, and shaking his penis back and forth. I was shocked and didn't think to write down his license plate or anything, but all I could do was sit there with my jaw dropped and eventually flicked him off. Shortly after he passed through, there were a few cops around, and all I could think was why weren't they there just a few minutes earlier. I sat with my pepper spray in my hands the rest of the hour long wait, and the man never came back through.
Ugh I know you're the one who should be ashamed, but instead I'm left feeling ashamed for wearing a less-than-modest dress. You may have thought you were 'just' complimenting me, that it was 'no big deal' to leer at me and yell, "Mmm mmm mmmm! Girl, you flaunt it!" And to keep yelling at me when I was clearly trying to get away from you?! I even went as far as hiding behind a wall. I'm embarrassed I didn't just tell you to go f*ck yourself, I hope I can when a similar situation unfortunately happens again. You are not entitled to my body. No one is.
This past week, to commemorate the 17th anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act, Vice President Joe Biden announced his "1 is 2 many" campaign. In an impassioned speech that can be viewed here, he urges us to step up and take action.
At the heart of this new campaign is the notion that victims of sexual violence are more than mere statistics. I love the name "1 is 2 many," because I think that too often we look at a number and think, "oh just 1 in 5? that's not that bad," but in reality we should be thinking, "1 is WAY too many."
One of my favorite parts of Biden's speech describes his position on bystander intervention. "There's no such thing as an innocent bystander when it comes to the abuse of a woman," he says. "If you know of it, if you see it, you have an absolute obligation to stop it."
I was glad to hear him say this, because I think that too often campaigns will focus on "teaching women how to protect themselves," when really we should be teaching others to be socially responsible for the communities they reside in.
While overall I responded positively to "1 is 2 many," I did take issue with some of the language that Biden used.
I cringed a little when he said, "One more thing, guys: If you know somebody's being abused or see someone being abused, be a man. Step up. It could be your sister. It's your obligation. Thanks guys. We need your help."
While I'm sure his intentions were good, this appeal to men has always irked me. Why is it necessary to remind them that the women being assaulted could be their sister? Isn't it enough to say that a member of their community is in need? And on top of that to encourage them to, "be a man"? It feels downright paternalistic, and a little patronizing…
I'm happy the nation's leaders are taking notice of these issues and making them a priority. But I also yearn for a day when a woman could count on her community for help just because she is human, and not because she might be a stand-in for a blood relation.
I was walking along the street and moved to the side to let a man pass. Instead of also moving to the side so I could pass, this man moved closer. As we passed one another on the side walk, he felt up my hip briefly. Yuck. I felt so gross after.
This incident occurred last Friday. I was walking home from the library and was just passing the middle school in my neighborhood. A middle aged man in a red shirt was walking on the sidewalk in the opposite direction as me. I thought nothing of it, he looked like he could be picking up his kid at the middle school. As he passed me, I heard him muttering something under his breath which sounded like "slut". I froze for a second as he continued walking then turned around and said "what did you just say to me?" in an incredulous tone of voice. He said "'Mamacita'. Do you know what that means?" Completely disgusted, I turned back around and shouted "Creeper!" and continued walking. I wish I had been louder; I wish I had been more confident in my confrontation of his behavior. I had worn my favorite purple polka dot miniskirt in order to feel better about my horrible day and he turned it into something disgusting and cringe-worthy.
Thanks for existing, Hollaback- I can't even begin to tell you how much better I feel having written this knowing it will be read by people who understand.
I just got back to the US after spending three months abroad in South Korea and Japan. I was very excited to spend a week visiting LA for the first time before I return to my hometown on the east coast. Today is my first day back in the states, and I decided to go for a walk to check out the area. Ten minutes after I stepped out the door, a guy waiting at a red light yelled "Slut!" at me out of his car window. As I continued walking, three more cars with men in them honked at me or slowed down to leer out the window. This isn't a bad neighborhood, but now I feel somewhat uncomfortable walking around by myself. My first reaction was surprise because I didn't have any experiences like this while in Asia-not that sexual harassment doesn't happen there, but I always felt very safe walking alone, even at night. Most women I spoke with there felt the same way. I had been back in my own country for less than 24 hours when this happened. It feels like this is just America's way of saying "Welcome home."
I was walking home from the bus stop this morning, and all day I had been stared at and honked at by men in cars, and I'd just about had enough. I was only wearing a long sleeve top and a skirt! Anyway, so I was walking along my street which is a main road, and this guy honked at me and shouted something out. I thought nothing of it. And then, just as I was about to walk into my house, the guy pulled up beside me and started speaking to me. There was another guy in the car as well but he looked more awkward and I could tell he didn't like what this other guy was doing. He said I looked familiar and asked what my name was and where I went to school. I only gave him brief information, but it was still a bit confronting. He then asked me how old I was, and I told him my real age, thinking he'd go away because I was way too young for him. But he kept talking, and eventually asked me for my number. That was the line. There was no way I was going to even consider handing out my phone number to this creep, he looked about 10 or 15 years older than me! So I said no and walked off, past my house so he couldn't follow me, and then some other guy honked at me as well! By this time I was really fed up and upset, so I went around the corner to a park, and burst into tears. It was one of the most confronting and upsetting moments of my life.
This sort of thing happens to me too often, and I'm so sick of it, knowing that there are horrible men out there is really frightening.
As I wad drunkenly leaving Turtle Bay bar, this dude appears next to me, touches my leg and goes "I love you you're beautiful."
Dude, F*CK OFF. YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO TOUCH ME. ALSO YOU HAVE ZERO CHANCE WITH ME. EVEN IF I WERE STRAIGHT. WHICH I'M NOT. I'M GAY AS F*CK. F*CK YOU VERY MUCH.
I'm a receptionist at a car dealership. I'm also a book-artist, and I often bring small-scale pieces to my job with me so that I can work on them/fiddle with them in my free time. Today I brought a nice little Coptic-stitched number which I've been using as a journal and sketchbook. One of my male coworkers came up to my desk and began to admire it. I allowed it. He opened it up — and asked if he could 'write me a poem'.
I said sure. This man had made sexualized comments toward me before, in passing — but I thought, 'surely this guy won't have the audacity to write something inappropriate in there, while I'm at work. Surely, surely, he isn't so stupid.' Welp, I was wrong.
The title of his poem was "Attraction", and here is how it went:
Disturbing yet Alluring
Hot yet dampened by
the look of wet innocence
if only the conversation
could breathe to life into
this daydream
I wrote him a poem in return; titled it "Objectification":
Ain't no daydream
for the woman
on the receiving end of it.
We hate that shit
More than anything else
in the world.
Believe it.
He was taken aback, and he said that I'd taken the poem 'the wrong way'. I said 'I took it like you wrote it.' And then, we had a conversation about workplace etiquette and the objectification of women. Wasn't an easy conversation – it made me shake with nerves! But it was EXTREMELY FULFILLING. THANK YOU, hollaback.
T-Mobile has responded to our petition and provided the requested phone numbers to the NYPD. However, T-Mobile slowed down a police investigation of a sexual assault, endangering more people. We continue to be in discussion with T-Mobile to get clarity on their policy.

UPDATE: Compass Point Starts Coverage on New Media Investment
In a report released Friday, Compass Point analyst Jason Stewart announces initiation of coverage on New Media Investment (NYSE: NEWM) with a Buy rating and price target of $18.
Stewart explains the initiation, "We view shares of NEWM as an opportunity to invest in a viable business strategy with a clean balance sheet at a price that appropriately reflects well known industry challenges. While technological advancement and the availability of free information has negatively impacted the U.S. newspaper industry, local content providers such as NEWM are still highly regarded in the markets they operate in."
NEWM provides a foot in the newspaper industry while valuing the progressive movement of digital media. The report also noted potential for cash dividends from free cash flow, possibly being the only dividend yielding public newspaper company.
NEWM closed previously at $14.55 and opened back up Friday at $14.76.

With the new system requirments, I'm starting to be a bit skeptical about if I can run Ghosts. Here's my specs:
OS:Windows 8 Pro
CPU: AMD Athlon X3 450 (Rana) 3.2 Ghz
GPU: ATI Radeon HD 5670, 512 MB VRAM
Should I be fine or should I get an upgrade? Either way, I'm going to get Ghosts on Black Friday (A store near me on Black Friday sells ALL PC games for 20% off, Ghosts will be 48$). I'm just wondering if I should also get a new GPU on that day.
get 6gb ram total , and you might wana get a new gpu

The Rangers' No. 18 prospect limited Arkansas to an unearned run over seven innings Tuesday, tallying his Minor League-leading 12th victory as the Double-A Frisco RoughRiders beat the Travelers, 5-1.
After surrendering 12 runs on 14 hits over seven innings in his previous two starts, Loux gave up only two hits and two walks Tuesday. He threw 67 of 97 pitches for strikes.
"I just slowed the game down and tried to take control of it," said Loux, who struck out five. "I got some ground balls and the defense made some nice plays."
The Travelers scored their only run in the first, thanks to top Angels prospect Jean Segura. The 22-year-old shortstop led off with a single, stole second, took third on a throwing error by catcher Jose Felix and came home on a groundout by Roberto Lopez.
Loux had little trouble thereafter, retiring 14 of his final 15 batters. The 23-year-old right-hander excelled at keeping the ball in the infield, generating nine groundouts against three flyouts.
"I had the fastball going and relied on it heavily," he said. "I tried to keep it down in the zone, moved it from side to side and got ground balls.
"It was nice. I was just trying to keep the ball down, having them hit it at people, and they made plays. It was a good way of staying out of trouble innings."
Through 15 starts, Loux (12-1) has a 3.54 ERA with 72 strikeouts over 81 1/3 innings. Although his ERA ranks 10th in the Texas League, he believes he's benefited from fortunate circumstances.
"I think luck has a lot to do with it," said Loux, who reeled off 10 consecutive wins to start the season. "You can go out and not get a run in any start and not get any wins. It's been a fun ride to be on. They seem to always score more runs than I give up."
On a Frisco team that is tied for first in the league with 44 victories, Loux would seem to have a good shot to continue collecting wins. He said he hasn't thought about how many he could end up with.
"No, not really," he said. "I don't think that really helps me. I just try to do whatever I can to make the next pitch and get ready for the next start."
Chris McGuiness had an RBI single and a sacrifice fly for the RoughRiders, while top Rangers prospect Jurickson Profar reached base twice and scored a run.

Tax shift announced
On 10 October 2015, the Belgian Federal Government reached a new agreement on the so-called 'tax shift'. The tax shift is a shift from tax on earned income to other taxes.
The objectives are as follows:
The following tax measures have been announced by Prime Minister Charles Michel during a press conference on 10 October 2015:
Social security: Decrease in employers' (from 33 to 25%) and self-employed social security contributions (from 22 to 20.5%). To offset this decrease, the structural reduction of charges is removed for the profit sector.
The new system will no longer make any distinction between time-barred capital and non-time-barred capital.
These measures are subject to change. The present web section will be updated as soon as the bill is available.
The Program Act of 10 August 2015 provides the following measures:
As part of the Belgian government agreement, it was decided that banks and insurance companies should pay an additional contribution to the State revenue, via an amendment to the notional interest deduction regime (NID), taking into account Basel III and Solvency II agreements.
The draft bill aimed at considering specific own funds of credit institutions and insurance companies as representing the part of prudential capital on which a reduction of the NID would be charged.
The final Program Act however introduces a limitation to the notional interest deduction itself, the dividend received deduction and the deduction of tax losses carried forward. Finally, no limitation of the basis for calculating the NID is provided.
Entry into force: tax year 2016.
Currently, SMEs can benefit from a reduced tax charge of 10% (instead of generally 25% or 15%) on distributions by creating a 'liquidation reserve'. The Program Act of 10 August 2015 introduces a similar regime for (after-tax) profits realised for tax year 2013 (financial years ending between 31 December 2012 and 30 December 2013, both dates included) and tax year 2014 (financial years ending between 31 December 2013 and 30 December 2014, both dates included).
These profits can – under certain conditions – also be converted into a liquidation reserve, by paying a corporate income tax of 10% (payable on 30 November 2015 at the latest and on 30 November 2016 at the latest). No additional withholding tax is due in the case where this liquidation reserve is distributed to the shareholder upon liquidation. In the case where the liquidation reserve is distributed via a dividend distribution within 5 years of its creation, (an additional) 15% withholding tax is due. In the case where it is distributed via a dividend distribution after 5 years, a withholding tax of 5% is due.
Entry into force: as from 18 August 2015 (date of publication in the Belgian Official Gazette).
Diamond regime
The Program Act introduces the so-called 'diamond regime' for registered companies (incl. Belgian permanent establishments of foreign companies) active in the diamond sector. The taxable result of these companies is determined on a lump-sum basis, being 0.55% of the turnover from the diamond activities. Companies subject to the diamond regime cannot benefit from the notional interest deduction and cannot deduct losses carried forward. For certain registered traders of rough diamonds, the diamond regime is optional.
Entry into force: tax year 2016 (financial years ending on 31 December 2015 at the earliest), subject to confirmation by the European Commission that this measure cannot be considered as illegal state aid.
Investment deduction for digital investment
The Program Act provides for an increased investment deduction for SMEs and individuals investing in this field (information security, communication technologies, digital payment and billing system).
Entry into force: tax year 2016.
Intermunicipal entities
The Act of 19 December 2014 stipulated that intermunicipal entities, collaborations and project associations are no longer automatically exempt by law from corporate income tax and are subject to legal entities tax. The entities at hand could be subject to corporate income tax or legal entities tax, depending on certain criteria (whether or not they carry out activities with a profitable nature, the way they do business etc.). The Program Act of 10 August 2015 introduces an exception for hospitals and institutions assisting the disabled, elderly people, protected minors, etc. They remain subject to legal entities income tax. Furthermore, the Program Act provides for less stringent consequences upon the conversion from legal entity income tax to corporate income tax. For example, retained earnings are now deemed to be taxed reserves.
Entry into force: this new measure is applicable as from tax year 2015, on financial years that are closed at the earliest on 1 August 2015.
Joint and several liability of the 'maître de l'ouvrage' / 'opdrachtgever'
The Program Act extends the joint and several liability for social and tax debts of the contractor (or sub-contractors) to the 'maître de l'ouvrage'/'opdrachtgever'.
Entry into force: as from 18 August 2015 (date of publication in the Belgian Official Gazette).
The following measures are enacted by the Act of 19 December 2014:
Secret commission tax: the so-called secret commission tax of 309% (payable on amounts which have not been properly filed on salary slips, and fee forms and due on hidden profits) is limited to 103%. The rate is further limited to 51,5% in the case where it can be demonstrated that the beneficiary of the income is a legal entity, or that the hidden profits are recorded in subsequent financial accounts, to the extent that the taxpayer has not been informed (in writing) of the ongoing tax audit. Further, the secret commission tax does not apply to the extent the hidden profits derive from disallowed business expenses. The secret commission tax does not apply in the case where it can be demonstrated that the beneficiary has properly declared the income. Further, in the case where income was not properly declared by the beneficiary, no secret commission tax is levied if the beneficiary is identified at the latest within 2 years and 6 months following 1 January of the tax year concerned. The secret commission tax itself is tax-deductible but it depends on the situation at hand whether or not the underlying cost is tax-deductible.
Entry into force: this measure is applicable as from 29 December 2014 and is applicable to all disputes that are not finally settled on that date.
Intermunicipal entities: The Act of 19 December 2014 stipulates that intermunicipal entities, collaborations and project associations are no longer automatically exempt by law from corporate income tax and are subject to legal entities tax. The entities at hand could be subject to corporate income tax or legal entities tax, depending on certain criteria (whether or not they carry out activities with a profitable nature, the way they do business etc.).
Entry into force: the measure is applicable as from tax year 2015, on financial years that are closed at the earliest on 1 July 2015.
Liquidation reserve: SMEs are allowed to set up a so-called liquidation reserve. The liquidation reserve can be created by requalifying (part) of the after-tax profit account to a separate account on the liabilities side of the balance sheet. The creation of this liquidation reserve is subject to a 10% corporate income tax. In the case where the liquidation reserve would be distributed before the company's liquidation, an additional tax, being a withholding tax, of 15% would be due in case of distribution within 5 years after the liquidation reserve is created. A withholding tax of 5% would be due in case of distribution of the liquidation reserve after 5 years of its creation. No withholding tax is due in the case where the liquidation reserve is distributed upon liquidation. In case the 'intangibility condition' is not complied with, the liquidation reserve can no longer benefit from reduced withholding tax rates upon distribution.
Entry into force: the measure is applicable as from tax year 2015 (financial years ending between 31 December 2014 and 30 December 2015, both dates included).
The following measures are announced, but not yet enacted:
Assessment (and possible expansion) of the Belgian patent income deduction regime with regard to software licenses.
New tax measures enacted by the Program Act of 10 August 2015 (Official Gazette 18 August 2015):
The 'Cayman tax' is a tax charge on certain income from certain legal constructions, in the hands of Belgian individuals (and Belgian entities subject to legal entities income tax). Under the Program Act, constructions are deemed to be transparent.
The legal constructions in scope include – among others - foreign trusts, foundations, undertakings for collective investments or pension funds when not publicly offered, low-taxed or non-taxed entities, etc. to which the Belgian individual (or Belgian entity subject to legal entities tax) is, in one way or another, linked as a founder, effective beneficiary, potential beneficiary etc.
Under these new provisions, the income of certain legal constructions becomes taxable in the hands of the private individual before distribution of the income. Consequently, the owner may be taxed on income that he has not yet received. In this regard, the Program Act lays a heavy burden of proof on the founder. The Program Act makes a distinction between two categories of legal constructions. The legal constructions of the first category concern trusts without legal personality. The income realised by these trusts, or paid or attributed by these trusts as from 1 January 2015, is taxable in the hands of a Belgian private individual (being the founder or beneficiary of the legal construction) - as if the Belgian individual would have realised the income directly. It concerns real estate income, movable income, (interest, dividends, royalties) miscellaneous income and earned income.
The second category concerns legal constructions, being foreign entities (with legal personality), which are subject to an effective tax rate of less than 15%. The income realised by the legal constructions is deemed to be realised directly by the Belgian private individual (being the founder or beneficiary of the legal construction). It concerns profits, such as real estate income, movable income, (interest, dividends, royalties) miscellaneous income and earned income.
For the second category, two lists with the legal constructions in scope have been published in the Official Gazette of 28 August 2015 via the Royal Decrees of 23 August 2015. The first list (legal constructions located in the European Economic Area) mentions the 'Société de Gestion de Patrimoine familiale' of Luxembourg, the 'Stiftung' and the 'Anstalt' of Lichtenstein. The second list – a non-exhaustive list – mentions the type of legal entities in scope that are not based in the European Economic Area.
The taxpayer has to mention on his yearly tax return the existence of a legal construction of which he (or his spouse or his children) is the founder or the third beneficiary.
In this framework, new anti-abuse rules specific to legal constructions are also enacted.
Moreover, every change to the incorporation deed of a legal construction with as purpose its conversion since 9 October 2014, is not enforceable towards the tax authorities.
Entry into force: The measure would be applicable on income that was obtained, attributed or paid by a legal construction as from 1 January 2015. With regard to withholding taxes (incl. wage withholding tax), the measure would be applicable on income attributed or paid as from 1 September 2015 (first day of the month after which the Act introducing the Cayman tax is published in the Belgian Official Gazette).
Tax incentives for investments in starting SMEs:
Entry into force: tax year 2016.
The following measures are enacted by the Act of 19 December 2014:
Tax measures announced but not yet enacted:
Flemish Region
Measures enacted
The Flemish Decree of 17 July 2015, published in the Official Gazette of 14 August 2015, provides for the following main changes:
The Flemish Program Decree of 3 July 2015, published in the Official Gazette of 15 July 2015, provides for the following measures:
The Decrees of 19 December 2014 includes the following changes:
Win-Win loan: As from assessment year 2015, the Flemish tax reduction for a win-win loan is converted into a regional tax credit which can be offset against the personal income tax and which is refundable. This tax credit will only be granted if the creditor has his fiscal residence in the Flemish region on 1 January of the assessment year. Although some have been abolished, other conditions remain unchanged until further notice.
Brussels Region
Tax reform announced in the Brussels Region
The Brussels Capital Region has recently presented its budget for 2016. Amongst others, a tax reform was announced, to be implemented partly in 2016 and partly in 2017.
Walloon Region
Tax reform announced in Wallonia
The Walloon Government reached an agreement on the reform of the regional tax reduction for mortgage loans for the sole and own dwelling; a so-called system of "cheque habitat" would be introduced.
The tax relief would be maintained but will be less generous. It would become an incentive for the first acquisition also calculated in relation to the taxpayer's personal situation (income, number of dependent children):
The Decrees of 11 December 2014 and 12 December 2014 include the following changes:
Surcharges: If the regional surcharges (calculated on the 'reduced federal tax') would not be sufficient to offset the regional tax reductions, it will be possible to deduct the remaining amount of the regional tax reductions from the federal personal income tax (overflow mechanism).
Excise duties
Procedure and penalties
Social security
Social security contributions would decrease from 33% to 27% and even to 25%.
Tax on stock exchange transactions
The current temporary increases of taxes on certain stock exchange transactions would become permanent. In addition, the percentages would increase.
Fight against fraud
The current fight against tax and social fraud would continue. Additional tax inspectors will be hired and trained by the government.
In the framework of the budgetary control in March 2015, the following measures in this regard have been announced: spontaneous report of undeclared income, fight against abuse of corporate structure and online fraud, an extension of data-mining projects, a better use of information concerning the 183-days rule.

The insurance needs of classic car owners differ greatly from those who require regular insurance. For this reason, several insurance companies specialise in providing tailored insurance for classic cars.
These providers assess the cover a classic car needs - and their premiums based on this - using several key indicators:
Agreed valuation
The majority of classic car insurance quotes will be based on an agreed value of the car - this is the maximum amount the insurer will pay out if the car is damaged beyond repair, or stolen.
When choosing an insurance policy check that your valuation is guaranteed by the insurance company.
How you use your classic car
Whether your car is used for social and domestic driving or kept in storage will inevitably affect your classic car insurance quote.
The more you use the car, the more you should expect to pay, but you can get specialist cover for events like classic car rallies and trials.
Cars kept in storage are also considered to be more secure, so may attract discounts. You can get these discounts even if you use your classic car regularly if you park in a garage, have off road parking, or fit alarms and immobilisers, etc.
Mileage cap
Most classic car insurers will require that the car has an annual mileage of less than 7500 miles and many will offer discounts on the insurance premium if a lower maximum mileage is agreed.
Additionally, discounts may be given for membership to a classic car club or association (check with insurer).
How to get cheap classic car insurance quotes
Unfortunately classic car insurance policies incur high costs from all areas: they are high value, expensive to repair, and they are desirable - so more likely to be stolen - with all of these factors reflected in higher insurance premiums.
By comparing quotes from several classic car insurers, you should be able to find a comprehensive level of cover for your cars, whether you require cover for laid up or in use classic cars, or whatever your personal circumstances.
If you are a young driver that drives or has access to a classic car, for example, you can end up paying a considerable amount. Classic car insurance for under 25 s is likely to be expensive, but you can mitigate this somewhat by doing thorough research into the various discounts and concessions on offer.
Getting more than one classic car insurance online quote really makes a difference, and will help you get the cheapest classic car insurance that still gives you the cover you require.

Cecropia Inc., a Boston-based game developer, has formed a new animation production studio in Orlando, Florida, that will focus on creating the quality artwork and animation for the company's new interactive game. Cecropia has recruited industry veterans in the region including Walt Disney Feature Animation alumni.
"The artistic gift and capabilities of the people that have joined our team in Orlando is truly amazing, said Ann-Marie Bland, president/ceo of Cecropia. "The incredible work being done at Cecropia represents a unique collaboration between our feature animation film industry veterans in Orlando and our gaming veterans and engineers in Boston. The talent of our employees has enabled us to go beyond our initial design and create a game that far exceeds our original vision."
Cecropia is interviewing more candidates for key animation positions at the Orlando studio with plans to formally open its new office in September.
Cecropia was established in 2001 to make games combining interactive storytelling with innovative and accessible gameplay. Cecropia is developing an animated story in which players control the emotions and social interactions of the characters. Cecropia likes to combine traditional hand-drawn animation techniques, unique game design and easy-to-use controls to deliver a completely original videogame experience.
"Cecropia was founded with the goal of bringing together storytelling and videogaming in a way that has never been attempted," said Omar Khudari, founder/creative director of Cecropia. "Our team is bringing personality animation to life in an interactive story that allows players to participate in the actions and emotions of characters as they journey through an entertaining and meaningful storyline."
Cecropia is a development-stage entertainment company specializing in story-based videogames, staffed by feature animation film and videogame industry veterans, dedicated to making high quality games that anyone can play. Additional information about Cecropia can be found at www.cecropia.com.

Those seeking a comprehensive sign of how much Russian art has changed since the collapse of the USSR need only look at Oleg Kulik's grizzled chest-length beard. Kulik is best known for his Nineties series of "human dog" performances, which saw him travel around the world naked, "escaping" from a leash, ferociously biting people and defecating in museums.
Many interpreted Kulik's performances as a metaphor for Russia itself: naked, poor, something to be feared, a product of the unbridgeable conflict between West and wild East. This year, however, he staged a "spatial liturgy" for a Monteverdi opera at Paris's Theatre de Chatelet (for which he grew the beard), was awarded an order for services to art by the French government, and is currently preparing an exhibition in the TsUM department store for September's Moscow Biennale.
That rapid transformation from bete noire to establishment figure would have been unthinkable 20 years ago. Decades of Soviet-era censorship, isolation and repression saw the handful of "non-conformist" artists in the country go underground, staging exhibitions in their own apartments or performances in the woods. Many of them, including conceptualist hero Ilya Kabakov and SotsArt founders Komar and Melamid, left the country altogether.
When the USSR collapsed, the Russian art world essentially had to start from scratch. Throughout the 1990s, the Moscow scene effectively consisted of four galleries more interested in showing works than selling them to the then-miniscule class of collectors, and one state-funded centre without any state funds.
Partly as a reaction against the non-existent art market, many turned to the nihilistic and unsellable genre of actionism. Kulik was naturally at the fore, impersonating a disco ball and running for president as a bull; so was anarchist Anatoly Osmolovsky, whose pronouncements ranged from theoretical texts to spelling out obscenities on Red Square.
Though that financially barren climate has long since disappeared, the experience of the 1990s meant contemporary Russian art remained a field solely for its few hundred practitioners, much as it had been under the Soviet Union. The scene, therefore, is still relatively small.
With the appearance of the nouveau-riche, by-appointment-only Triumph Gallery in 2007, the number of major galleries swelled to five. Regardless of whom you ask, there are not many artists either.Artist and gallerist Aidan Salakhova puts the number at a round 101; this is somewhat worrying when you consider the first Moscow Biennale in 2005 had more than 400, and that a study carried out last year found New York to be home to 130,000.
Largely for the same reason, Russian art is generally bereft of movements, trends, and political reactions. It is instead still a story of individuals. That atomisation of Russian artists makes the field as a whole difficult for curators to characterise. Group exhibitions are thus often subject to the personal whims of curators, which can even lead get them into serious trouble.
Provocative curator Andrei Erofeev saw then-culture minister Alexandr Sokolov ban several works – including the "Blue Noses" duo's infamous Kissing Policemen photograph – from leaving the country for Erofeev's 2007 "SotsArt" show in Paris, labelling the art "a disgrace for Russia, which we'll have to answer for". Currently Erofeev is on trial for another 2007 exhibition, "Forbidden Art 2006", on charges of "inciting hatred or hostility".
Non-politicised curators, often under the influence of Soviet-era conceptualist art and its references to the early 20th-century avant-garde, can also produce exhibitions that overshadow their participants.
Olga Sviblova's Russian pavilion at the Venice Biennale this year united seven artists under the incomprehensible theme of "Victory over the Future", a nod towards a famous Futurist opera from 1913 that saw set designer Kazimir Malevich make the first experiments that would eventually lead to his famous "Black Square".
This last also owes a great deal to Russian art's relative obscurity on the international scene, which, by Sviblova's admission, led her to feature seven artists instead of the customary one. Bar Kabakov, Kulik and a handful of others, few Russian artists are known in the West except to a small circle of insiders and specialists.
Russian art is rarely seen in foreign galleries and museums; on a visit to Moscow earlier this year, Tate Modern curator Frances Morris was reportedly besieged with complaints over the absence of Russians in the museum's permanent collection.
The situation does, however, seem to be improving. This year's Venice Biennale had a record number of Russian artists in the main exhibition (five of uniformly excellent quality) and a record number of Russian exhibitions in the parallel programme (three of decidedly mixed quality). Thanks to that, some of the best artists from the conceptualist movement finally seem to be getting their due.
Pavel Pepperstein's gorgeous watercolors of "landscapes of the future" in the Russian pavilion rightly won plaudits across the board, and sold out at the Art Basel fair a week after the Biennale opening. Old hands Igor Makarevich and Elena Elagina, featuring in the main exhibition, were honoured earlier this year with an exhibition in Vienna's Kunsthistoriches Museum alongside old masters such as Breugel, Durer, and Rubens.
Domestically, the scene appears to be developing strongly. The dearth of exhibition spaces is gradually being corrected by private enterprises in old industrial lots, particularly the Winzavod complex, the former Red October Chocolate Factory, and a massive constructivist bus garage run by Roman Abramovich's girlfriend Dasha Zhukova.
These developments have helped bring about a hitherto unthinkable interest in contemporary art from Russia's trendy youth.
Artworks have now replaced public landmarks as the background of choice for girls to pose in photographs; hipster bible Afisha magazine recently highlighted a new craze for, of all things, going to lectures. There is, likewise, much promise in Russia's young artists, particularly those working in abstract genres, and former members of the Radek group based around Osmolovsky at the turn of the decade.
It may still have a long way to go, but Russian art has come astoundingly far in such a short time; there's no reason why, like Kulik's beard, it can't continue to grow further still.
The Human Dog
Oleg Kulik first became famous as a "human dog" in the early 1990s. He was the founder of an art genre that featured human bodily suffering. One famous example was his performance "I can't be silent anymore! Strassbourg, European Parliament", which had a man being tortured with a branding iron in the shape of the European Union logo. It's as if the artist is being crucified on the British flag
