Koje-do Things to Do
Oedo Botanic Islet
Island is covered by a camellia forest with the area of 12,000m2. The island is home to more than 3,000 plant species including many subtropical plants, such as cactus, palm tree, gazania, sunshine, eucalyptus, bottlebrush bush, New Zealand flax, and agave. It is so beautiful that it is called a paradise in Korea. The coastline is 2.3km. The island...more
The former POW camp
This site from the Korean War is an educational location showing all the tragedies that happened in those years.more
View the flowers on Oido Islet
In 1969, Lee, Chang Ho and his wife moved onto the island and began raising pigs. The pigs didn't do well. They elected to not raise elephants because they already had problems disposing of the swine manure. They decided to raise something less messy and so the little island of 0ido was transformed into a flower garden. There are flowers and trees...more
POW camp
During the conflict there were nearly 400,000 South Korean soldiers killed and another 100,000 captured by the north. There were 700,000 North Korean soldiers killed and 50,000 captured. Most of the North Korean soldiers captured were interned on Goje Island west and south of Masan. During that period there were no roads, bridges, or ferries to the...more
Bird watchers
While I am not a gifted ornithologist, I do appreciate birds.The marine parks, coastal waters and moderate temperatures of Geoje make it an idea place for many birds. If you walk along the coast lines or take any of the ferries into the water, keep you eyes open to the skies and the rocks for their nests.more
Local Fish Markets
Geoje has a large industrial economy tied to the shipyards. However, a large population of the island still make their living through agriculture and fishing.The little towns that dot the coast line have some wonderful fish markets worth a visit.Many of the stalls sell sun-dried fish of various types and dried squid. Honestly speaking, the squid is...more
Yeocha-Hongpo drive road
The 3.5km section from Yeocha Pebble Beach in Nambu-myeon to Myeongsa Beach is the best. The view of Dadaedo(island) shrouded in sea mist and the views of sunrise and sunset enchant and charm the visitors. Natural beauties are well preserved along the road and many people frequent this road. Famous for their clean water and natural beauty, Yeocha...more
Historic Park of Geojedo P.O.W. Camp
A P.O.W. camp was completed on a site of about 10 million m2 around Gohyeon, Suwol, and Yangjeong areas on November 27, 1950. Up to 173,000 prisoners of war including 150,000 North Korean soldiers, 20,000 Chinese soldiers, and 3,000 women soldiers and militias were encamped. With the signing of truce on July 27, 1953, the camp was closed. A park...more
Haegeumgang Rock Islets
Haegeumgang consisting of two islands belongs to Hallyeo National Marine Park. It was designated as Scenic Beauty No. 2 in 1971. It is also called Galdo because its shape resembles arrowroots. But the name Haegeumgang is used more often. It is 116m high above sea level and about 0.1¢¢ç¢¢ç¢¯¢¥ wide. An inscription of Seobulgwacha, which means Seo...more
Koje-do Restaurants
I wish I knew how to read it: Just off the road
When you go on daytrips by car from the island, there's a great stop right after passing the bridge to the mainland.
While having a coffee you can make great pictures.
Also there's a shop with everything you need for a great day of exploring.Related to:

Koje-do Warnings and Dangers
traffic jam
the roads are very narrow and during the summer there are 700 million and 3 cars on the island carrying the known population of the earth plus a few million aliens from the planet omygawd. It can take an hour to go half a kilometer. The worst is yet to come. On a weekend, it can take 2 hours to go the 20 km back to the mainland highway and then your average speed can be held to about 30 km an hour. We have spent 4 hours to cover 85 km from Daejon to Giheung. It took 3 hours from Goje-to Jinu. If possible, go in the middle of the week.
Koje-do Off The Beaten Path
Old Fortresses in the hills
Just outside of Geoje city, you can find Oksangeum-seong Fortress. This is possible as a long hike from Geoje or from the Geojeyeon Gwona.Otherwise, if you have your own transportation, there are a few other small fortresses on the island. While they may not be the most spectacular remains, the fresh air hikes to get there, the panoramic views they...more
The Inland
At Koje don't forget the inlands. A busy spot are the Mundong Waterfalls. You can also look for the Nature Art Park (Bonzai trees and bigger stuff) or explore the Oryang fortress remains. This last one is hard to find (just keep on drivin') but has a nice view over the West-side of the island.more
Scenic outlook above Sinseondae
This location is just behind the Haegeumgang Theme Museum on the southern end of Geoje, near Sinseondae.If you have your own transportation, it is a nice short walk down a path to the rocky beach and cliffs. When you get down there, you can walk along the pebble beach or climb the boulders along the cliffs. Many locals will be here fishing from the...more

Mounting Climbing
On Koje Island there are many mountains of around 500 meters high and ideal to climb in 2 hours.
Equipment: Good shoes and bottled water. Most Koreans leave a souvenir at the top or build a pile of stones.Related to:

Koje-do Favorites
Stay in Okpo
Favorite thing: Okpo-dong is the home to the largest shipyard on Geoje-do (visit my Okpo page).
Due to the industry associated with the shipyard, Okpo is home to many foreigners and business travelers. With this, it will be the most comfortable area for foreigners to stay due to restaurant options, hotels, western bars, etc.
The town itself may be the center to rest and feed yourself, but if visiting, the sites to see are spread on the rest of the island.

In British Columbia, the Steyn hearing proceeded with all the marsupial ungainliness of a kangaroo court. No one knew what the rules of evidence were. Hilariously, one of the chief complaints against Steyn was that he quoted a Muslim imam in Norway bragging that in Europe "the number of Muslims is expanding like mosquitoes." If that insect simile is out-of-bounds, the commission should swoop down on Norway and execute an extraordinary rendition of the imam.
The hearing has appropriately exposed the commissions to ridicule -- and maybe some hatred and contempt (if that's allowed). There are calls to strip them of their power to regulate the media. This would limit the damage, even as free speech is endangered elsewhere. In Europe, saying the wrong thing about gays or Muslims is routinely sanctioned by the state. In France, the bombshell-turned- animal-rights-activist Brigitte Bardot just collected her fifth fine, for complaining about how Muslims kill sheep.
Free speech is a very clean, neutral concept -- "Congress shall make no law ..." Once a government begins policing offensiveness, things get much murkier. It has to decide which groups are protected and which aren't -- the "who/whom" of Lenin's power relations. So, even though there are plenty of fire-breathing imams in Canada, no one ever pesters them about their hatefulness.
It is the genius of Muslim grievance groups to leverage Western anti-discrimination laws to their advantage. In his Maclean's essay, Steyn noted how in much of the West, "the early 21st century's principal political dynamic" is whether something offends Muslims. Indeed -- but in Canada, truth is no defense.

Tribunals and War Crimes Trials: Treatment of the Press: Investigative Journalists Confront Intimidating Tactics and Legal Actions against Them by International Criminal Tribunals
Cruvellier, Thierry, Nieman Reports
Kaing Guek Eav, better known as "Duch,' directed the most infamous detention and torture center, S-21, for the Khmer Rouge regime in Cambodia. This is now a genocide museum and, for the first time in 29 years, Eav returned there in February 2008 as a man charged with crimes against humanity by the Extraordinary Chambers in the Courts of Cambodia (ECCC), a court located in Phnom Penh and created through an agreement between the Cambodian government and the United Nations. His return was part of the judicial investigation, and information about it was shielded from the public, as is the entire investigation of this civil law system. Even so, this was an historic event and, as such, was announced in advance by the ECCC. Not surprisingly, local reporters--and a few international ones--showed up at S-21 in Phnom Penh's city center to cover the news. Several circumvented the security measures meant to keep them out.
Things then turned unfriendly. Traeey Shelton, a reporter with The Phnom Penh Post, who took pictures of the accused at S-21, ended up being questioned for several hours by the police. Her digital photographs were erased. The Cambodia Daily reported that John Vink, a Magnum photographer, "was warned by a tribunal official that if he published a photograph of Duch he would be blacklisted from the court." The director of TV Channel CTN said he was told by a court official not to air the footage his reporters had taken. As reported by The Cambodia Daily, ECCC Public Affairs Chief Helen Jarvis further warned that "under the tribunal's internal rules any person, whether an employee of the court or not, who knowingly discloses confidential information in violation of a judicial order is subject to sanction by the tribunal, Cambodian authorities, or the United Nations."
These actions sent a strong warning to journalists covering the ECCC, just as those taken by other tribunals against journalists have served a similar purpose. In fact, during the past six years a number of worrisome practices and jurisprudence have developed at UN tribunals, practices that journalists should report on as part of their coverage of the trials themselves.
Reporting on the Courts
In the past 15 years, the rapid rise of international courts involved with criminal justice has signified important progress in the global human rights movement. During the 1990's, three major international tribunals were created: the International Criminal Tribunal for the former Yugoslavia (ICTY), the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda (ICTR), and the International Criminal Court (ICC). The first two plan to end their judicial work by 2010; the ICC is a permanent institution that began in 2002. Other war crimes trials have been held under UN-administered East Timor and Kosovo. Three major "hybrid" tribunals, with shared responsibility between international staff and nationals from the country where the crimes occurred, have been set up--the Special Court for Sierra Leone, the War Crimes Chamber in the Court of Bosnia-Herzegovina, and the ECCC. Another similar institution, the Special Tribunal for Lebanon, should start operating soon, although that court will not deal with war crimes.
A small number of journalists cover war crimes trials and other reporters write occasional stories on proceedings in The Hague, Arusha, Freetown, Sarajevo or Phnom Penh. But what receives considerably less press attention are restraints being placed on investigative and independent journalists through threats and intimidation or legal suits placed against them by prosecutors affiliated with these courts. Nor has the practice of closed hearings and anonymous testimony before war crimes tribunals, particularly at the ICTR, nor issues revolving around witness protection, been reported on with the kind of journalistic scrutiny that might reveal that these procedures have sometimes been created by courts to assure their own protection. …

My occasional blog on politics. Going where the fancy takes me.
Tomorrow Canada
votes. The polls tell us seven out of ten Canadians want to see the back of
Prime Minister Stephen Harper and his jaded Government.
The Conservative campaign has plumbed the depths, reaching a new
low on Saturday when Harper and the Ford brothers joined the Party faithful at a rally in Toronto.
Harper allowed himself to be photographed with former Toronto mayor, Rob Ford, who, at various
times, has smoked crack, consorted with gangsters and threatened to kill people. And
he lies. All the time.
Little wonder, then, that I read in the press today (Sunday)
that a lawyer who used to be on the PM's staff says the Conservatives have lost
the moral authority to govern.
The nation's leading conservative newspaper, the Globe and
Mail, ties itself in knots arguing for the re-election of a Conservative Government
but without Harper. They want him to disappear.
We shall see how the anti-Conservative vote breaks but the
polls point to a resurgent Liberal Party under Justin Trudeau, gaining ground at the expense of an
overly-cautious NDP, nailing its flag to fiscal conservatism just when Canadians are
looking for something different.
The Conservatives will lose this election but the shape of
the new Government is harder to predict.
Some kind of Liberal/NDP coalition or arrangement is on the cards.
Michael Ashcroft asserts in the foreword to his new book "Call
Me Dave" that he discussed his tax status with David Cameron in 2009 in detail.
On 2 March 2010, Cameron said:
"Clearly the full details of
Lord Ashcroft's tax status are something between him and the Inland Revenue and
those full details are only known by him and the Inland Revenue and that is as
it should be for him as for anyone else."
We are told that Cameron only found out about the peer's non
dom status in February 2010.
On Monday morning, 1 March 2010, just as the Ashcroft
revelations were breaking, I bump into David Cameron in Portcullis House. He
says with a beaming smile:
"Well, you've got what you wanted now."
In one sense that was true. My three year long battle using FoI legislation had
finally forced the tax cheat to show his hand and tell the world he was a non
But I believe now as then that Cameron had been complicit. He, William Hague and others knew about Ashcroft's tax dodging long before 1 March 2010.
In his book on the 2010 General
Election, Minority Verdict, Ashcroft tells us he felt let down by the Conservative leadership who
"could have mounted a more spirited defence" of his actions when he finally
revealed his non dom status after a decade of evading the issue.
If Ashcroft really wants to wound David Cameron, we need to know where and when this conversation took
place and if there were any other people present. It is in Ashcroft's DNA to
cheat and dissemble so his word alone is not enough.
I see Caroline Flint will constantly remind Jeremy Corbyn of
the recipe for election success if she is elected Deputy Leader. Emulate Tony Blair.
Caroline will never allow the Blairite flame
to be extinguished.
In the old Blair days, prepared questions for the great man to answer
at PMQs were regularly handed out by the whips to backbenchers who had been
drawn high up in the weekly ballot. Those MPs who wanted to ask their own
question were asked to give the whips the gist of it so they in turn could give the
Prime Minister the heads-up. I never participated in this charade. If someone
is clever enough to be PM they should be able to think on their feet like the
rest of us.
Whatever the controversy of the day, Caroline Flint would always
stay on message, parroting the line to take, never forgetting a word.
Well, not always.
I recall being in the Commons Chamber for Prime Minister's
Questions on 15 November 2000 and she was springing to her feet every few minutes.
She hadn't been drawn in the ballot but she was doing her best to catch the
Speaker's eye.
Blair had just finished answering a question from the Northern Ireland
MP, Jeffrey Donaldson, who wanted an assurance there would be no reform of the
RUC while the IRA were still active.
Blair sat down and a host of Labour MPs stood up, hoping to
be called next.
Michael Martin spots Caroline on her feet and calls out her name.
She replies: "Someone else has already asked my question so
I'll sit down"
I squirm with embarrassment for her – as do others - but she
seems totally unfazed.
Later, she is roasted alive in the press.
The late great Simon Hoggart in one of his Guardian sketches
at the time, dubbed her "the greasiest Labour MP of all".
He went on: "Even in the new Labour Party Ms Flint is
regarded as something of a hard-line toady, an aardvark-tongued bootlicker, a
member of an active service unit in the greaser's provisional wing."
Ouch! Even after all these years his words still pack a punch.
Anyway, maybe she has hit the ceiling career-wise.
Ladbrokes today puts Caroline Flint at 14/1 and a
Corbyn/Flint team at 16/1. Clearly, the bookies don't believe she is even close
to getting elected.
And the latest apocalyptic broadside from Blair will help Corbyn
no end.
It was a speech that was widely trailed. Former Prime Minister Gordon Brown was to speak
out on the leadership contest.
And today (Sunday) the Guardian's Michael White reminds us
that for Gordon Brown in 2007 the pursuit of power was everything.
When Blair was forced out in 2007 Broon was determined there should be no other
challenger for the leadership. I nominated John McDonnell because I felt
strongly there should be a contest. In the event no-one other than Broon crossed
the threshold. Arms were twisted and inducements offered to MPs and there
was, of course, no election just a coronation.
My old friend and constituency near neighbour, Jack Straw, who was Broon's campaign manager at the time, talks
about this quite candidly - and unapologetically - in his autobiography,
"Last Man Standing" (page 492):
"...an MP needs the nominations of one eighth of the Parliamentary Labour
Party to get on to the ballot paper... The task here was to sign up 291 Labour
MPs so that no other candidate could stand.
There was, of course, a Faustian pact between Broon and
Broon would overtly support an increasingly unpopular Blair in
the 2005 general election in return for a cast-iron assurance by Blair that he would step
down in mid-Parliament, allowing Broon to succeed him.
Broon had a long history of manoeuvring against Blair, going way
back to the supposed agreement at Granita Restaurant that would allow the Party
leadership to be carved up on a 50:50 basis. So many years for you; so many for
me. That's the way it was in those days.
Jack wonders aloud in his autobiography if, perhaps, it
would have been better to have a contested leadership election in 2007, before dismissing the idea:
"There has been much talk since that it would have been
better, for Gordon as well as for the Party, if there had been a proper contest
for leader. It certainly would have strengthened his legitimacy. But life is
not quite like that. I've never met any candidate for any office who wouldn't
have preferred an unopposed win. There's enough risk in politics without
manufacturing it. If I'd been the favoured candidate for party leader, not
Gordon, and was within sight of blocking off other contenders by perfectly
legitimate means, would I have tried to do so? Of course."
We are not told what constituted "legitimate means".
I think lots of good people are repelled by the kind of machine
politics that delivers the premiership without the risk and inconvenience of
a nominating election – even one held in the controlled environment of a PLP that had largely been lobotomized by New Labour.
Elsewhere, things are stirring in the undergrowth. A leadership survey taken by Labour International last month
shows Labour members living overseas (like me) are backing Corbyn by a wide margin
over Cooper, with Burnham and Kendall trailing. This tells me something strange and unusual is happening.
And earlier today I hear from a former MP and old friend who tells me he will be
voting for Corbyn even though he is largely unconvinced Labour will win the next
election under his leadership.
But, he says, Corbyn may set the Party on the road to
understanding what it is for.
It seems to me this is a necessary first step if we are ever to get back into power.
Last week the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC)
decided the trial of the former Premier of the Turks and
Caicos Islands, Michael Misick, on corruption charges could go
ahead without a jury.
Misick and his fellow defendants – former TCI politicians –
appealed to London
on the grounds that the trial judge, Mr Justice Paul Harrison, did not have
security of tenure – essential for guaranteeing judicial independence – and that
they should, in any event, be tried by a jury.
The JCPC dismissed the appeal saying Judge Harrison was
brought out of retirement specifically to hear the Misick case and that a fixed
term appointment in these circumstances was not unusual.
A Turks and Caicos Islands
jury would have to be drawn from a tiny pool of only 6,000 "belongers" out of a
population of over 30,000. The JCPC remarked:
"There has already been relentless publicity, both in favour
of and against the defendants, and there seems no sign of it stopping, whether
or not the proceedings are pending. This case is so unusual, and the background
to it so controversial, that it can readily be seen that it would probably be
impracticable to find a jury composed of those with no prior knowledge of, or
opinion upon, the issues at stake, and that even if such were possible, the
identity of jurors would inevitably become known, thus exposing them to
inevitable extra-evidential opinions and/or information, whether innocently
communicated or not."
That assessment is certainly true. When I was in the Turks
and Caicos for the trial scheduled for December 2014 (which was postponed
pending resolution of the Misick appeal) I asked any number of local people for their
views on Misick and got a lot of blank faces. Local politicians
were also circumspect.
In the TCI, people know all about the British Caribbean Bank and Lord Ashcroft but it is not something they want to talk about - especially to a curious outsider.
I don't know if Michael Ashcroft is still a belonger – he may
have given it up as being no longer worth the candle in the same way that he recently
renounced his seat in the House of Lords.
But even though he will not be in the Turks and Caicos for
the trial his presence will be felt. Ashcroft will be following it closely.
After all, he is, or was, a close friend of Michael Misick.
The trial, scheduled to begin in December 2015, is expected
to last three to four months.
Labour's Leadership contenders and the Greek referendum
As I was reading Joseph Stiglitz's piece in the Guardian it occurred
to me that I still don't know the views of all the Labour leadership hopefuls
on the forthcoming referendum in Greece.
Wouldn't it be terrific to hear where they stand on this momentous event which is unfolding as I tap tap tap this out.
I think I know where Jeremy Corbyn stands but, as for the
others, who knows?
A critique of the situation facing Greece would tell us more about the candidates and where they are coming from than any number of carefully scripted personal manifestos.
In the end it was brutal.
The Progressive Conservatives ruled Alberta for an unbroken 44 years and,
yesterday, they were trashed.
It is an astonishing end for a Party that most pundits believed
could never be beaten in this low tax/no tax oily corner of Canada.
The left leaning NDP came from absolutely nowhere to take 53 seats
leaving the PC with a rump of 10 seats – not even enough to form the official opposition.
This mantle will now be worn by the right wing Wildrose Party.
For all its alleged imperfections, first-past-the-post is impressively
efficient at getting rid of unpopular governments and sweeping the old guard
With PR systems, defeated politicians often re-emerge on Party
No matter how hard you try, you simply can't get rid of them.
Jim Prentice, the premier until yesterday, resigned as an MPP
even before all the ballots were counted in his riding. He has gone for good.
All eyes will now be on the NDP.
Canada will be stunned if the Party replicates this astonishing success in the federal election in October.
The trial of Michael Misick, the former premier of the Turks
and Caicos Islands, has been put on hold until the Judicial Committee of the
Privy Council (The UK Supreme Court sitting when hearing appeals from UK Dependencies and some
Commonwealth jurisdictions) can rule on whether his case can be decided by a
judge alone, without a jury. Misick and other former TCI politicians are charged
with corruption.
The Judicial Committee's expedited hearing will take place
in London on May 11 and 12.
Five years ago, Michael Ashcroft sued the Independent
newspaper for alleging that he was, in some way, improperly involved with
Misick. In the July 2011 judgment in the High Court, Mr Justice Eady, wrote:Â
An inference is invited that
the Claimant (Michael Ashcroft) authorised a loan by the British Caribbean Bank
evidenced by a document dated 14 March 2007 signed by his son Andrew Ashcroft.
His authorisation is to be inferred from the size of the loan, the fact that Mr
Misick was the Premier, the fact that earlier loans had been made to him in
2004, and the potential gains to be made by Michael Ashcroft's commercial
interests in the Turks and Coaicos Islands from supporting a corrupt Premier.
But the key assertions underlying all this are Michael Ashcroft's "ownership
and control" of the British Caribbean Bank and the claim that his son was "in
thrall" to him and "acts in accordance with his will.
The Judge, in effect, told the Independent to put up or shut up. He said the newspaper
needs to give "their best
particulars of Michael Ashcroft's role in granting the loan and, specifically,
of the nature of the favourable terms."
…it cannot suffice to put
forward a case to the effect that Michael Ashcroft simply must have been
involved in some way or another. They need to come off the fence and decide
exactly what the charge against the Claimant is.Â
The Independent was unable to meet this requirement and
Misick's trial is expected later this year. Courteney Griffiths QC, pulled out from representing Misick some months ago,
allegedly because his expenses were not being fully covered.
Ashcroft's interests in Central America and the Caribbean
are, of course, well documented. "Lord Ashcroft's Millions" looks at how the
peer made his money in Belize and in the Turks and Caicos Islands.
A round of applause is, I think, deserved for Ed Miliband's decision to scrap non-dom status.
This is not something that Tony
Blair – in thrall to big money – would have contemplated in a thousand years.
move will come as a blow to my bête noire, the tax cheat Michael Ashcroft.
Until today, I had thought Ashcroft's resignation from the House of Lords would allow the "proud tax avoider" to take
up non-dom status once again. I had assumed that with a battery of tax lawyers
at his side he would have been able to persuade a pliable Revenue and Customs that he
is domiciled in Belize or wherever his heart now is.
Impertinently, he intends to remain "Lord Ashcroft". After his announcement,
he tweeted:
"Retired Lords keep their title and can use the facilities of the house
should they wish to."
Ashcroft has been preparing the ground for his exit from the Lords with
some care.
On 22 July 2014, in a written Lords question he asked how many peers had not attended a single sitting of the House since the 2010 general election. We
learn there is a long list of stale and utterly useless peers (including the "Canadian"
Conrad Black, jailed in the United States for fraud) and, clearly, Ashcroft even then was looking for a way out.
Ashcroft was a complete passenger, rarely contributing to the work of the Lords
even though he was appointed as a "working peer". It was all bogus.
His dribble of written questions over the years were on his pet subjects such
as the Turks and Caicos Islands and benefit fraud.
He last spoke in the Chamber over six years ago, on 4 December 2008.
I am keeping my fingers crossed that the Labour leadership will have the courage to include in the forthcoming Labour
Manifesto a clear commitment to abolish non-dom status.
In 2008, under the Blair Government, the rules were tweaked
allowing non-doms to continue to enjoy special tax advantages if they paid
£30,000 every year to HMRC.
We now learn that HSBC Chief Executive, Stuart Gulliver, is
a non-dom despite living in the UK for years. He has a house in Hong Kong and says he
is going to retire there. As if! (The MPs on the Treasury Select Committee who
grilled him were terrific.)
Seems to me all British Citizens should pay UK tax on their
world-wide income. We could follow the example of the United States who taxes
her citizens wherever they are. And here in Canada – where I pay tax – I am
obliged to declare my worldwide income, such as it is, to the Canada Revenue
Agency. Double taxation treaties prevent people being taxed twice.
With special tax treatment under their belt, buttressed by
tax secrecy, non-doms have been laughing in our faces for years.
Ashcroft mocks us all
Yesterday, 25 February, the notorious tax cheat and former
non-dom, Michael Ashcroft, in a Lords written question, smugly asked the
Government to explain:
"what they consider the difference between tax avoidance and
aggressive tax avoidance."
The Minister, Lord Deighton, explained:
"Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs (HMRC) distinguish between tax
avoidance and tax planning. Tax avoidance is bending the rules of the tax
system to gain a tax advantage that Parliament never intended. It often
involves contrived, artificial transactions that serve little or no purpose
other than to produce a tax advantage. It involves operating within the letter
– but not the spirit – of the law."
"Tax avoidance is not the same as tax planning. Tax planning involves
using tax reliefs for the purpose for which they were intended. For example,
claiming tax relief on capital investment, saving in a tax-exempt ISA or saving
for retirement by making contributions to a pension scheme are all legitimate
forms of tax planning. While such actions may reduce the total amount of tax
paid, they are not tax avoidance, because they involve using tax reliefs in the
way that Parliament intended when it passed the relevant legislation."
Ashcroft "a proud tax avoider"
In September 2013, Ashcroft told a bunch of turnip heads at a Labour
Party conference fringe event that he was "a proud tax avoider". He reportedly
received a "polite round of applause". The self-confessed "notorious tax
avoider" only gave up his non-dom status in 2010 because my successful FoI
request forced him to. He still thinks tax is something you pay when you
absolutely can't avoid it.
Indeed, Ashcroft and his fellow peer, Lord Fink, have at
least two things in common. They were both Treasurers of the Conservative Party
and they believe tax avoidance is OK.
Fink says he doesn't object to Miliband accusing him of tax
avoidance. "Because you are right: tax avoidance, everyone does it."
In October 2010, not long after Ashcroft had come out as a
non-dom, he used a written question in the Lords to ask, tongue in cheek,
whether the Coalition Government expected citizens "to organise their tax
affairs in order to maximise tax payable".
He was told by the Commercial Secretary to the Treasury,
Lord Sassoon:
"The Government expect citizens to
pay tax that is due by law. The Government will take action against tax
avoidance schemes that claim to produce results completely at odds with the
intentions of Parliament."
Ashcroft, who conned his way into
the House of Lords 15 years ago when he promised to bring his tax affairs on
shore, asked Sassoon in December 2012:
"whether (the Government) apply any
principles of acceptability to legal tax avoidance practices; and, if so, what
are those principles."
playing it with a straight bat, replied:
vast majority of individuals and businesses in the UK pay the tax that is due
and on time. The small minority that try to bend the rules to achieve a tax
result, which Parliament did not intend, put a greater burden on the majority.
That is why the Government are taking action to tackle tax avoidance by, for
example, changing the law to close loopholes and by introducing a general
anti-abuse rule to target artificial and abusive tax avoidance schemes."
Corruption in the Caribbean
Ashcroft – a citizen of Belize, a British citizen and a belonger of the Turks
and Caicos Islands - clearly believes he is home and dry with all his dodgy tax
dealings now far behind him, ancient history. The BBC's Panorama looked for evidence and there are lots of loose ends waiting to be tied up.
The trial of Ashcroft's old friend, former Premier, Michael Misick, on
corruption charges will take place in the Turks and Caicos Islands later this
year. The Judicial Committee of the Privy Council in London is considering
whether the trial can proceed without a jury. (Every second person in the islands has the surname "Misick". I exaggerate for effect but only slightly.)
When I was in TCI in December
2014 I saw for myself the impact developers have had on the island. Beautiful pristine beaches in Crown Land sold off to shady characters with off-shore bank accounts. I also
spoke to local politicians and checked out Michael Misick's mansion, now up for
sale, reportedly built with a little help from his friends.
Next Wednesday (25 February 2015) the Treasury Select
Committee will try get to the bottom of the shocking tax scandal at HSBC.
The one man who could shed some light of things, Lord Green,
the Bank's Chief Executive from 2003-06 and Chairman from 2006-10, is not in
front of the committee and reports suggest he may not be called before it.
Green was recently doorstepped by BBC Panorama, but refuses
point-blank to discuss his role.
The FT quotes a spokesman for Andrew Tyrie, the Committee
chair, saying the committee will not be calling Green as it doesn't want to
"drag up the past".
I read that my former colleague, John Mann, is unhappy about
this – and well he might be. He should press the Select Committee to summon
Green before them.
This is not as easy or as straightforward as it sounds.
Five years ago, my Freedom of Information request on the
undertakings Michael Ashcroft gave to secure his peerage, was finally
published. It forced Ashcroft to admit that he was a non-dom and had been ever
since he cheated his way to a peerage.
He also misled his friend William Hague, then Leader of the
Opposition, who wrote to the Prime Minister, Tony Blair, on 23 May 1999:
"Mr Ashcroft is indeed non-resident for tax purposes and has
been for some years, during which time his principal business interests have
been abroad. He is, however, committed to becoming resident by the next
financial year in order properly to fulfil his responsibilities in the House of
Lords. This decision will cost him (and benefit the Treasury) tens of millions
a year in tax yet he considers it worthwhile."
The Public Administration Select Committee embarked on an
inquiry into Michael Ashcroft's peerage but we knew we had to move quickly.
Then, as now, a general Election was in prospect.
The Committee asked Lord Ashcroft and William Hague to give
oral evidence. They declined. I recall being told at the time that there was a
Parliamentary convention preventing select committees summoning members of the
Commons or Lords.
In any event, the Chair of PASC, Tony Wright, received a
letter from the then Conservative Shadow Leader of the House, Sir George Young,
dated Wednesday 17 March 2010 informing us they weren't going to appear before
us. Sir George accused the Committee of being partisan before bluntly stating:
"In the days immediately preceding the dissolution of this
Parliament, this inquiry inevitably risks being seen as partisan. I am writing
to let you know that my Parliamentary colleagues who have been invited to
attend are not inclined to do so."
He went on:
"I think it best if these sorts of issues are explored in
the round, and on a genuine cross-party basis, in the next Parliament."
The whole truth of the Ashcroft deception, with all the
twisting lies and distortions, would have been exposed if PASC had insisted on
bringing Ashcroft and Hague before it. The convention should have been tested
to destruction with the Committee reporting to the House that two key witnesses
were refusing to co-operate. But we were right up against the wire with the
election a month or two away. (The Committee had to make do with Hayden Phillips, the mandarin who waved the peerage through.)
I was hugely frustrated by this stonewalling and I recall
Tony Wright telling me we had done as much as we could and to let it rest.
But history may be in danger of repeating itself. The
scandal of HSBC should not be swept under the carpet until the next Parliament
– which may mean never.
The Treasury Select Committee needs to assert itself and
insist that Lord Green comes before it - and give evidence under oath.
Postscript on Ashcroft: Cabinet papers released to PASC in 2010 detail the extent of Ashcroft's deception.

Do you ever log on the Internet and think: Wow, there's a lot of crap in here? You're not alone.
Millions of salesmen are competing for your time -- and there are many tricks to the clicks. In fact, the Great Fake Internet is growing as ad fraud and clickbait metastasize.
Don't Waste My Time
First there's ad fraud. Studies show ad fraud is a growing problem. AdWeek recently tabulated the cost at $6 billion. That's criminal -- literally. Then there are the lesser but similarly vexing problems, such as the explosion of social click-bait media designed to lure you into the latest story on the "Top Ten Most Beautiful Olympians who Have Married Other Beautiful Olympians."
Clickbait and ad fraud -- it's become a way of life, wasting your time on the Internet. It's no wonder the bottom has dropped out of click-through rates and CPM pricing on ads. In media, competition for your time has become more intense than ever -- because it's a house of illusions.
"There is a downward spiral, there is a ton of ad fraud and it gets worse and worse," said Joe Marchese, founder and CEO of true[X] Media, an video advertising firm in New York City. He says much of the ad volume on the Internet has become fraudulent because the industry has allowed to become that way. He recently penned a piece in MediaPost on why big TV ad dollars refuse to go online for this reason.
Marchese says the entire advertising industry is complicit in the problem because it buys into the volume concept and regularly uses ad networks known to game numbers with fake impressions or bots. Everybody has bought into the wrong business model, he said — one predicated on click volume or click-through rates, which isn't an accurate measures of audience engagement. He said:
The only way that they can generate the volume is through fraud. The pricing and buying are based on reach frequency modeling from an old system, it can be faked in the new system, and we're in a downward spiral."
Open for Debate
Marchese recently engaged in on online debate on this topic on Twitter, where there was wide agreement. In fact, Marc Andreessen, the entrepreneur and Venture Capitalist for Andreessen Horowitz, called it a "race to the bottom."
True enough. When's the last time you clicked on an ad? It's as if the Internet has become an unregulated stock-market bucket-shop. Everybody needs big numbers. Everybody's selling something to somebody and promising eyeballs in return. Are the eyeballs real? Just like a stock certificate, sometimes there's something real behind it, sometimes not. But there's no SEC on the Internet. And whether you are a media consumer or ad buyer, you don't always get what you invested in.
Here are some more stats and figures on "Internet trash" trends I see unfolding:

I bought this camera because of its small size. Construction is perfect, great design. Quality of outside day-light pictures is good, even thought there's an underexposure and over saturation problem. Pictures taken inside or in poor light conditions are dark and it gets hard to take a shot without movement artefacts. Flash power is insufficient in almost every situation. Overall, image quality is acceptable. Poor image control. If you are looking for a small, handy nice camera, this is your best choice, if you are looking for image quality then disregard this product.

President Obama is sounding like a grating broken record—trust that his unprecedented plan to spend our way out of this recession while hampering successful businesses with increased cap-and-trade regulations, healthcare costs and taxes is going to work! The current European Union President, Czech Prime Minister Mirek Topolanek, recently called Obama's excessive stimulus spending a "road to hell." The Congressional Budget Office reports that the president's rosy scenario of his budget cutting the deficit in half by the end of his first term is more likely to produce a deficit that could expand over a trillion dollars a year through his term in office. America is in trouble.
Most politicians promise themselves into office, but few seem as committed to expanding the scope and cost of government as rapidly as our current leader. The fact that we are in one of the worst recessions in memory and unemployment numbers continue to grow just deepens the economic hole we are digging for ourselves!
Will our president and legislature discover the common sense and courage to start saying "NO" in time to save this country from bankruptcy? Unfortunately, far too many citizens and businesses are demanding more bailouts, more stimulus money and more pervasive entitlement programs.
Being a good politician ought to be more like being a good parent. When my son at sixteen asked if I was going to buy him a car, I replied with one word, "No." When he said, "Everybody gets a car." I answered, "I don't think that's true, but even if it was true, it will now be everybody minus one!"
Does a good parent give their children everything they want? Does a good parent keep paying the debt on their overdue credit cards? As a parent, I never expected at the time to be liked for saying "No." We trusted that with time, we would be respected for the tough love and life lessons that we provided for our son.
The true test of a parent's effectiveness is not continued dependence but the ability of their children to live and prosper on their own. The sooner teens learn that life doesn't owe them the standard of living they want the sooner they realize that they'd better get busy earning it for themselves.
Life is difficult. In the great game of life, everyone, at times, has to learn to play a poor hand well. Citizens could cope responsibly if America had politicians who didn't pretend government could afford to meet their every need.

I love how you manage to make very beautiful landscapes and integrate out-of-nowhere-buildings into them. Great great job.
Amazing picture man, it's awesome! Took me a moment to notice the night, it's overwhelmingly beautiful, stunningly done.
May I use this picture as background in my new Java Game? I will name you in the credits of course! It took me days to find the author of this awesome drawing *_*
your works are very awesome they all have a good feel to it!
Ruins are mysterious indeed! Mystery lights especially! Wow! Beautiful work!
love this, all of it! lighting, colors, mood and enviroment. Really mysterious.
I love it. But, (not anything bad so don't worry about the but lol) the moon always looks like it's smiling x.x It's just so weird.
Reminds me of Disciples II. That game had similar eery atmosphere.
Your work is consistently amazing. But it seems like every piece has a tiny character standing in the foreground. It gets kind of repetitive.
acho que este é meu favorito
wowwww it's amazing dude !! i like !!! very good
Good Work......
so peaceful ...
Yes, I do like it. It's awesome! You have a great imagination.
Great landscape !
i like it! very mysterious looking
Your work is astounding.
wooow, simply AMAZING!!
I can't believe my eyes, it so beautiful!
this reminds me of Elder Scrolls: Oblivion
awesome, once again.
awesome, once again.
make s good feel...
I really love you're landscape designs
Oh goodness..... This is amazing......
Muito bom, parabéns!
Very nice. I like the massive cloud/fog banks in the background particularly.
Muito fixe
great stuff man
I wish someone would make a game like this... with this amount of epic awesomeness!!!
It's so amazing I wish I was there on some magical quest... To search the ruins of Azguar
This reminds me of a swampy version of a "Elder Scrolls" game...
Really good stuff!!!

if it was a death knight, it could maddd walk across that water with ease.

I love the atmosphere in here.
looks awesome!
This is really amazing!! I can definitely spot 10 kinds of blues, and not your basic primary! The techniques and composition is excellent! Very peaceful and gentle.
Eveything is ace technically, as usual. But remember what you said to me about the "stamp" brushes? I think atleast the tree in the foreground shouldn't have been stamped. Another thing I was puzzled about was that in the mountains, there are, I don't know what, giant claws that have the same shape, from the same angles as the ruins in the middle of the lake. Takes something away from the design of the ruin I think.
Nice, good colours and peacefull atmosphere...

Picture: Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel - Arrivals Featuring: Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz...
British movie couple Daniel Craig and Rachel Weisz are in talks to team up on the Broadway stage, according to U.K. reports.
The pair met and fell in love while shooting ill-fated movie flop Dream House and now it appears they're keen to work together again.
The Daily Mail reports that they are close to signing on to play a married couple in Harold Pinter's Betrayal, which will open in New York later this year (13).
If the stars sign on, the project will mark Weisz's Broadway debut.
Academy Award-winner Mike Nichols is the frontrunner to direct the play.

Shooting the Life And Fate movie took place at a tank range Alabino. Welcome to the movie set with a lot of tanks, snow and other interesting things.
Same mistake again, tanks without infantry support…. in real war, lifetime of each tank crew will be few minutes. In soviet war movies, there were thousands of troops (real army troops).
I like it when they use live action in films in place of CG only thing is most of those T-34s are a bit lacking on markings.They almost always had some geometric shape on the sides of the turret and on the top to aid in identification not just the numbers .And no 3A (for the) CCCP!!?
That "device" looks like a peephole for a door, or maybe a small solid state camera. So you can see who's climbing on your tank, or knocking on the door. So you don't shoot your own guys.
I'd love to get one of those soviet era trench coats, id probably have to visit russia though
You are never going to catch me taking MY Mosin Nagant rifle outside and leaving it exposed to the elements. I shield my muzzle and action whenever possible. I respect my rifle because I can hit a three inch bull five out of five every time at 100 yds, shooting with the original iron sights. Pretty good for a rifle over ninety years old.
@ptc…you are so right about the infantry support for the tanks.
i like snow in winter
Device – indeed, looks like a peephole camera like the one I have on my front porch. lol
Very nice GAZ M auto, or at least replica of same. Also, at least they used the proper radio set for the time period, the lend-lease US-made Type-19 (were also use for the Brits, though the CCCP models had Russian markings) Radio/wireless gear is usually ignored as far as technical accuracy, some movies I have seen pieces of test gear used with microphones or telegraph keys plugged into them. LOL Very good photos, regardless of the lack of infantry — yes, that is a big mistake, even with movies set in modern times. While the modern battlefield may use more air and missile support and fewer footsoldiers, they are still an important part of any armoured infantry battle.
I saw Enemy At The Gates and also read the book about the famous Russian sniper at Stalingrad. I like realistic movies. The American movie about Bastogne titled "Battleground" long time ago was stupid. Looked like they were fighting in Africa rather than in winter in Europe.
All I got to say is you don't mess with the Russians in Winter.
nice pics. Is there a way to see them in highter resolution?
Nice pics. Is there a way to see them in higher resolution? Photograph's blog is in Russian.
One of the photos shows an early T-34, a rarity in war movies.
Most T-34 tanks used in movies are the later T-34/85 variant, which were mostly used in 1944-45 and post war.

Hey, I'm Josh & Christine!
I'm Josh. She is Christine. We're a fun loving couple in our late twenties from the Toronto area that love to travel, eat good food, watch great tv shows, movies, musicals, plays, you name it. You can also say we live a healthy lifestyle. My hobbies include video games, volleyball, basketball, rock climbing and piano. Her hobbies include yoga, running, Les Mills classes, reading and writing.
For work, I'm a data manager for a loyalty marketing company called LoyaltyOne, which birthed the AIR MILES Reward Program in Canada, the biggest coalition loyalty program in Canada. I help our collectors reach their dream vacations by showing them ways to earn more and get there faster.
Christine works as an Assistant Manager in Marketing and Communications for the Canadian Franchise Association, which helps franchisors establish or strengthen their presence and reputation, and assists franchisees towards the path of success through trade shows, communications and their quarterly magazine. She also gets to interview CEOs and write articles on various members of the association.
You could say we're kind of an amazing team. We saved up and bought our first house 3 years ago and it's been nothing short of awesome. Every week, Christine plans our meals and we eat great food throughout the week. She's takes the lead as chef so I do my best to assist and clean up afterwards. On the weekend, we love dining out, having a Starbucks coffee while perusing our local bookstore and catching up on our favourite tv shows. We also do our best to make time to see our families and friends in-between finishing up our chores around the house. As a result, weekends always blow by so fast then it's back to work before the next. We like it though and it`s a rhythm we can both jam to.
Oh and we just got married in June 2015 so we're looking for a lot of cool new places to visit for our honeymoon!! :)

its so soft and beautiful i just love it xD <3
great concept!
Very beautiful and imaginative work.
Beautiful and mystic, surrealistic feeling. Love your works!
Wow, thank you very much for the feature!!!
sweet job
Lovely image.
Mmh! You like Klimt don't you?
It really looks like his compositions.
Nicely done!

Nicely done!
To be honest, I only learned about Klimt and his works recently, like two or three months ago, when a lot of people have been telling me that my style reminds them of his works. Thank you!
Great painting! (:
Might you offer in this series as prints?
I would love to, but the existing images of my artworks aren't good enough for prints. I might offer them as prints when I finally managed to get a better camera.
Just STUNNING! This style with the repetition REALLY suits your women. I see the influence of other artists before you, but you have really made a style that is unique. I also appreciate the fact that the color pallete for many of them is the same with the introduction of a single cool color to contrast against the warm tones. Thank you for sharing and please keep up the GREAT work!
Thank you very much for your very nice comment. It's really nice to know that someone appreciates the little details I put in my artworks. Thank you!
This is so beautiful. I love your work.
Wonderful work !
stunning! love the colour pallet too

It's a great place with friendly local vendors. It's a bit out of my way, but when I get there I am rarely disappointed.

Incredible variety of vendors - fruits, veggies, mushrooms, meats (especially fond of the pasture-raised veal), baked goods, chocolates, cheeses, soap, coffee, honey, local artisans, etc. Some of the farms involve special communties such as Camphills residents and St. Gabriel's young men. Many of the farms follow organic or biodyanmic farming pricipals and many of the vendors selling prepared wares use local ingredients and traditional preparation methods such as those suggeted by the Weston A. Price Foundation. These factors make me comfortable buying things that I can't produce/grow myself. Great local musicans playing, the opportunity to learn/play things like "Go" or do yoga, and the children's tent make the market a community gathering place where it is easy to meet people and make friends. Phoenixville market is so much more than just a shopping place.

One, Two, Three Sushi Launching Two More Locations
One, Two, Three Sushi is expanding their Minneapolis reach with two new locations
First the folks that brought you the original Masu Sushi & Robata in Northeast Minneapolis gave us a new location at the Mall of America. Then they opened One, Two, Three Sushi, a fast casual version of their sushi and ramen concept, in the skyway level of the IDS Tower. Now they're reaching out again a few months later to launch two more of the fast casual sushi restaurants.
The expansion locations are offering a variety of different services which include things like expanded menu options, longer service hours, increased capacities and even some delivery services.
The first of the new locations will open in the Retek Building in Downtown Minneapolis in the old Lunch Cube space. The new skyway level location will offer the same menu items as their IDS location, but will offer increased seating and downtown delivery service. You can look for this location to open up sometime late this summer.
The second of the two locations will open up in Dinkytown across from Annie's Parlour. This location will offer increased menu options with things like nigiri, gyoza and rice bowls. This location is slotted to open up sometime in September.

Hebrews 5:5-8New International Version (NIV)
5 In the same way, Christ did not take on himself the glory of becoming a high priest. But God said to him,
"You are my Son;
6 And he says in another place,
"You are a priest forever,
7 During the days of Jesus' life on earth, he offered up prayers and petitions with fervent cries and tears to the one who could save him from death, and he was heard because of his reverent submission. 8 Son though he was, he learned obedience from what he suffered

The producers were somehow unlucky for, as many people have already observed, this movie was released a few weeks after Sixth Sense, which was unfortunate... because people were still talking about the latter. Quite frankly, I think this film is better than The Sixth Sense. It is definitely more frightening, more intense, and much more enjoyable than the other latter one...and Kevin Bacon is of course much, much better actor than Bruce Willis...Kevin is an A and Willis oh well a... B-? Anyway...my purpose is not criticising Willis, there I am going off track, but I merely wanted to share my views about the movie. In a few words: It is a classic! Eerie atmosphere, smart plot, good performances, gripping, believable...and well...you may have a situation like that just next door! ;) If you haven't watch it before, you should definitely do it. Think about this: This movie has no negative reviews, isn't that a great sign?… Expand
May 18, 2015This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Stir of Echoes is an intense atmospheric thriller with Kevin Bacon's best performance. He plays Tom Witzky, a regular guy with a wife and one underage son. He works as a lineman in Chicago, he is a day to day toiler earning his wages and supporting his family. One night at a social with his wife, her sister and his closest friend the unthinkable happens. He goes from being an ordinary man to having extraordinary visions he can't explain or comprehend. His wife's sister Lisa discusses hypnosis at the social. She describes how a person under hypnosis can't feel anything or realize what is going on because they're in another state of mind. Apparently she knows how to hypnotize someone, so Tom's best friend suggests to her that she hypnotize someone there. Tom suggests himself to her and she denies his request at first. He convinces her and then the audience sees what Tom sees as she guides him through the trance. He sees something during the trance but he doesn't know what it is. She opens a portal in his mind, and then his mind starts receiving supernatural visions. A girl is missing and she wants him to assist her in finding her body. Then she can be freed from being a ghost and rest in peace. She wants him to expose and punish the ones culpable for her demise. A man who is into some kind of witchcraft or supernatural activities tells his wife that she'll never leave him alone until he helps her with her predicament. The movie is ultra spooky and unpredictable. The mystery is tough to unravel and I'm sure most people didn't put the pieces together until the movie clarified what happened to the girl and who the culprits are. Stir of Echoes is one of my favourite horror thrillers by far. It was very underrated in 1999 and it deserved and deserves the kind of attention that The Sixth Sense garnered that year from audiences. It is a one of a kind movie that is a magnificent cinematic experience. The other movie that deals with hypnosis is Danny Boyle's Trance. However Trance isn't dark like Stir of Echoes is because it is an action thriller and not a horror thriller, Trance is great as well. These movies have similarities by sharing hypnosis plots but that is all they have in common.… Expand
Aug 25, 2015As cheesy as it may be, "Stir Of Echoes" still manages to conjure up a general sense of suspense, as well as a committed performance from Kevin Bacon.
[Anonymous]Dec 8, 2001Excellent.
PatC.Jan 10, 2005A derivative of the "Shining" phenomenon, but without the family involved going totally insane. Not really enlightening, but not dumbed down either. A straightforward acknowledgement and interpretation of intangible perceptions. Nonetheless at the end one must ask, Is this all dead people think about?
TrevorS.Dec 9, 2001Awesome movie, definitely worth a watch.
JoeB.Jun 1, 2001This movie was very enjoyable. It had plenty of chills and suspense, and an intelligent and believeable script. Kevin Bacon does a fine job, as does everyone else. I thought it was far superior and much more believeable than "The Sixth Sense".
JackJul 11, 2003Much better than the Sixth Sense, creepy, funny, believable, great movie!
KristenJun 13, 2004I loved this movie! I saw it on tv so there, of course, were cover-ups of the "bad" words but even then it was awesome! The ending was sort of predictable but hey so are a lot of movies.
ElliotB.Nov 6, 2001Absolutely brilliant!
SusanM.Aug 8, 2003I loved the story and found it very suspenseful. I think that Lucia Struss was excellant and needs some recognition.
AnmarB.May 31, 2004I've really got scared, And I liked the connected complexity, I really LOVE this movie .
BillS.Aug 18, 2005Great acting by all four main characters, and a spooky story. Claims this is a derivative of The Shining have it backwards, as this is from a book written well before Steven King's work.
Awards & Rankings
Elevates the horror genre with a refreshing intelligence and humor -- too bad it's not half as good at generating scares.
The conventional ghost-appeasement scenario isn't very suspenseful, which may be part of the reason it's so gripping.
