I am worried that maybe I'm mixing and matching too much, and could somebody point me in the right direction to debrand the phone and then upgrade to Froyo. There's a lot of different walkthroughs out there, and I don't want to mess this up! Thanks!

India's tax system involves many different types of taxes and one of them is wealth tax (a.k.a. net worth tax, capital tax or equity tax). The government abolished wealth tax as announced in the budget 2015. In its stead, the government decided to increase the surcharge levied on the 'super rich' class by 2% to 12%. Super rich are persons with incomes of Rs.1 crore or higher and companies that earn Rs.10 crores or higher. The abolition was a move to do away with high costs of collection and also to simplify the existing tax structure thereby discouraging tax evasion.
It was a form of direct tax payable by individuals/entities on their wealth. What does wealth mean? How is wealth tax calculated and paid. What are the main features of wealth tax and other considerations that a taxpayer should know about. All this and more are dealt with in detail below.
What is Wealth Tax?
The tax levied by the government on a person's personal net wealth or capital is called wealth tax. Net wealth is the net value of a person's assets. The Wealth Tax Act 1957 lays down the rules governing wealth tax in India. It applies to three kinds of assessees viz. Individuals, HUFs and companies. Personal assets refer to an assessee's land (urban), house, car, boats and yachts, aircrafts, precious metals in various forms like jewellery, furniture etc. and cash (hand).

Wealth Tax in India:
Introduced in late 1950s, with the aim to reduce inequalities in India, wealth tax is a form of direct tax, charged on the net wealth of super rich individuals, Hindu Undivided Families and companies. Wealth tax is a levy of tax on the net wealth (the aggregate value of assets minus the aggregate value of debts or liabilities as on the valuation date) of super rich individuals/HUF/companies at the end of a fiscal year. Wealth tax was essentially aimed at taxing the super-rich taxpayers who both by inheritance or on their own, accumulated wealth and therefore, had to make a larger contribution to the exchequer. An individual, a Hindu Undivided Family or a company had to pay a wealth tax of 1% on earnings of over Rs. 30 lakh p. a.
Significance of Wealth Tax:
Given that India reportedly has around 800 million people in poverty, wealth tax has been a politically sensitive subject and therefore, often figures in the 'pro-poor' and 'pro-industry' narrative in the country. Many political parties have, in the past, demanded wealth tax rates to be raised to 3% to reportedly make several urban and rural crorepatis pay more taxes. Also, according to experts, wealth tax holds special significance in today's India, what with the growing number of billionaires in the country, owing to several factors including booming entrepreneurship and foreign direct investment in specific sectors among others.
What's the difference between Income Tax and Wealth Tax?
While income tax is payable on the income earned by individuals regularly, wealth tax is payable on the assets bought with the income after paying income tax.It's curtains for Wealth Tax!
Wealth tax has been abolished (w.e.f April 1, 2016 for wealth held as on March 31, 2016) by the central government, as announced by the finance minister, in his budget speech, in March, this year. Super rich taxpayers, therefore, need not file their wealth returns for the financial year 2015-16.

Why has Wealth Tax been abolished?
Some of the main objectives cited by experts behind the move include the following:
- Focus on more governance and less government: Finance minister, during his budget speech, cited the lack of ease of doing business as one of the reasons for abolishing the wealth tax. Also, by abolishing wealth tax, government has reduced the scope of some taxpayers taking undue advantage of the loopholes in the wealth tax act.
- Simplification of tax procedures: According to experts, Indian tax laws are, by and large, very complex and therefore, prone to litigations. Government wants to simplify procedures for easier tracking and enhance transparency.
- Incurs high collection costs but provides low yield: In a country with increasing number of billionaires, government collected a meagre Rs. 1008 crore as wealth tax last fiscal, exposing how the cost of collecting the tax is much higher compared to the low yield. Also, wealth tax does not form a major chunk of collection of direct taxes in India (Rs.788.67 crore and Rs.844.12 crore were collected as wealth tax in 2011-12 and 2012-13 respectively).
- Increase the revenue collection: By abolishing the wealth tax and replacing it with additional surcharge, government can collect up to Rs. 9000 crore in a fiscal year, opined the finance minister in his budget speech.
- Additional administrative burden: Taxpayers had to value their assets as per the Wealth Tax Rules to compute their net wealth. For certain assets such as jewellery, taxpayers had to obtain a valuation report from a registered valuer.
- Tax compliance and widening the tax base: Government wants to bring more persons under its tax net given that individuals who file income tax returns outnumber those who file wealth tax returns.
- Additional reporting: Taxpayers will have to do some additional reporting of information in their income tax returns in terms of listing out their assets and liabilities.
- No leakage: Details about assets submitted by the taxpayer in the income tax returns will help officials correlate declared wealth with the declared income. Tax officers can, therefore, ensure that there is no tax 'leakage'. Earlier, unproductive assets such as jewelry which cannot be readily tracked would allow assessees to skip making such disclosures in their wealth returns.
- Low Awareness: According to rough estimates, many assessees in the country are only dimly aware of the existence of the wealth tax. Consequently, more often than not, assessees are served with notices for failing to pay wealth tax. In 2011-12, the number of wealth tax assessees in India stood at 1.15 lakhs.
Impact on Super-Rich Taxpayers:
As a result of the proposed abolishment of the wealth tax, taxpayers will re-examine their portfolios in that most may consider investing in land in urban areas among other assets which had hitherto come under the purview of wealth tax. As per the new proposal by the finance minister, if you hold more than one plot in an urban area, you don't have to pay wealth tax and should pay only capital gains tax upon sale. Also, at the time of the sale, you can reduce your liability by investing in a residential house or bonds, if the property has been held for 36 months. Taxpayers can also invest in gold under the Gold Monetisation Scheme.
Surcharge on super-rich' replaces wealth tax:
Wealth tax will be replaced with a levy of additional 2 % surcharge. The surcharge would be applicable to the following:
- Individuals
- Hindu Undivided Families
- Firms
- Cooperative societies
- Local authorities with income exceeding Rs. 1 crore.
The central government has proposed an increase of surcharge by 2% to 12% on the super-rich individuals earning an annual income of Rs. 1 crore and above in addition to firms with an annual income of Rs. 10 crore or more. Companies with incomes between Rs. 1 crore and Rs. 10 crore would have to pay a surcharge of 7%. The term super-rich' covers all taxpayers earning more than the threshold specified by the government.
Super-rich will pay more:
The super-rich will pay more owing to an increase in surcharge by 2%. The peak tax rate for the super-rich has been raised from 33.99% to 34.61%. The previous central government had announced a surcharge of 10% in 2013 for individuals with annual incomes of Rs.1 crore or above (as per rough estimates, there were around 42,800 persons in the country who fit the income criteria to pay wealth tax at the time).
IT forms to be amended:
The information pertaining to assets which was required to be furnished in the wealth tax returns will, henceforth, be included in income tax returns. The new income tax returns forms will be accordingly tweaked to include details of assets.
How is surcharge calculated?
To calculate the net taxable income, taxpayers should deduct their investments and expenditure which qualify for income tax deduction from their total gross income.
Akhil Sharma, a 36-year-old businessman, has a gross total income of Rs.1.1crore. He invests Rs.1.5 lakh in equity-linked savings scheme and public provident fund, which is tax deductible as per section 80C. Akhil also has a home loan, for which he pays Rs.2 lakh p.a as interest, which is also eligible for tax deduction. After deducting Akhil's investments, his net taxable income works out to around Rs.115 lakh. Given that Akhil's net taxable income is over Rs.1 crore, he has to pay a surcharge (which has currently been increased from 10% to 12%) of around Rs.3.98 lakh.

Wealth Tax Rules:
Who does wealth tax apply to or who has to pay wealth tax and how is it applied?
The residential status of an individual was one of the key parameters to ascertain wealth tax liability. Resident Indians were liable to pay wealth tax on their global assets. However, non-resident Indians and foreigners were liable to pay wealth tax on their assets in India only. If a non-resident Indian returns to India, his assets would not be exempt from wealth tax. Assets acquired by NRIs within one year of their return are also exempt.
Assets which were covered under wealth tax:
- Wealth tax was payable on assets such as real estate and gold. Assets such as shares, mutual funds and securities termed as 'productive assets', were exempt from wealth tax.
- Yachts, aircraft and boats came under the purview of wealth tax.
- While one residential home is exempt, more than one own house would come under the purview of wealth tax. However, wealth tax is not applicable on a property if it is used for business or rented for 300 days in a year.
- Tax is levied on the market price of a car, except when used in a car hiring business.
- Gold, platinum and silver ornaments came under the purview of wealth tax. Also, wealth tax is applicable to cash-in-hand above Rs. 50,000.
- If a taxpayer had to pay wealth tax, transferring his or her assets to the spouse would not result in evasion of levy, since assets even if gifted, would be considered the property of the taxpayer.
Wealth Tax Exemptions/Limits:
Assets not covered
- Investment securities viz. shares, bonds, units of mutual funds, units of gold deposit schemes
- Houses/plots of area below 500 sq. Mts.
- Houses as place of business/profession
- Residential properties rented out for 300 days or more in a year
- Vehicles for hire
- Stock-in-trade business assets
Calculation of Wealth Tax:
Wealth tax was calculated on the market value of all the assets owned, irrespective of whether they yielded any returns or not. All individuals and Hindu Undivided Family with net wealth above Rs. 30 lakh were required to pay wealth tax. Wealth tax was based on the valuation of assets as on March 31 and would, therefore, be applicable on any assets acquired at the end of a financial year. However, assets sold during the year would not come under the purview of wealth tax. Significantly, some Double Taxation Avoidance Agreements (DTAAs) in the country, provided relief to taxpayers from wealth tax, if they had already paid it in any other country.
Wealth Tax Rate:
Wealth tax was calculated at 1% on net wealth above Rs.30 lakhs. E.g. If you your net wealth for the year was Rs.50 lakhs, wealth tax would be charged at 1% on Rs.20 lakhs i.e (Rs.50 lakhs - Rs.30 lakhs). Amount payable = Rs.20,000.
Wealth Tax Returns - E-Filing VS. Wealth Tax Return Form:
The CBDT had, in 2014, made it mandatory for wealth tax returns to be filed online only i.e. E-filing of wealth tax returns, effective FY 2014 -2015. The form would be filled and submitted using a digital signature. This, however, would not apply to those who are not liable to be audited. Such persons could file returns on wealth tax through the traditional means i.e. through paperwork.
- Can resident taxpayers hold assets within or outside India sans disclosures as a result of abolition of wealth tax?
No. While there will be no wealth tax levy, taxpayers must make the required disclosures.
- What was the main reason cited by the finance minister to abolish the wealth tax?
According to the finance minister, wealth tax had high collection costs but a low yield. However, experts suggest a variety of reasons behind the move including streamlining of data, reining in black money and minimising tax evasion among others.
- Where should taxpayers furnish all the particulars which were hitherto submitted in wealth tax returns?
Wealth held including all details about assets will be listed in the income tax returns. Income Tax authorities will administer the proposed law.
- How much wealth tax was collected in the last fiscal?
The central government collected a meagre Rs.1,008 crore in the financial year 2013-14. Wealth tax has not showed any significant growth over the past few years, according to experts.

News About Wealth tax
Indians embrace Tax Evasion Amnesty; disclose nearly $10 Billion in Hidden Wealth
The Government of India have made good strides in the battle against black money. Black money or undisclosed wealth or assets has been a major problem and with the government of Prime Minister, Narendra Modi offering amnesty to suspected tax evaders, over 10,000 tax evaders have come forth and disclosed nearly $10 Billion in hidden wealth. The notice was sent out to over 700,000 suspected tax evaders and the amnesty provides no legal action against them as long as they disclose the wealth and pay a penalty.
According to Reuters calculation, with nearly $9.8 Billion being disclosed and a penalty of 45% being imposed as wealth tax on the newly disclosed income, the government could raise nearly $4.41 Billion from the declared income.
1st October 2016
You Don't Have to Pay Wealth Tax Anymore
Wealth tax has been abolished in India from the fiscal year 2016-17. New columns have been added in the income tax return forms to include the information that used to be provided through wealth tax return forms previously.
From the tax assessment year 2016-17, individuals and Hindu Undivided Families (HUFs) with income of more than Rs. 50 lakh per annum will have to provide information regarding their assets and liabilities in schedule-AL of the relevant ITR form apart from the ITR-1, ITR-2, ITR-2A and ITR-4S forms.
Tax experts say it would be a challenge to provide details of assets given as gifts, such as jewellery, and inherited assets, if the asset was purchased several years ago or the original cost is unknown.
6th April 2016
Government introduces New Scheme to Weed out Black Money
The government on Monday launched a new scheme to meet the menace of domestic black money head on by requesting those with any undisclosed income to come out in the open by paying the required tax, surcharge and penalty that totals to around 45% of the hidden income. This is the second such scheme launched by the Modi government in the last two years. Finance minister Arun Jaitley announced that anyone with undisclosed income can wipe out past transgressions by paying the required tax, surcharge and penalty. The compliance window will be open from June 1 to September 30 and those declaring undisclosed income can pay the amount within two months of making the declarations.

Rich and Wealthiest Section pays lesser Tax India
Recently, Abhijit Banerjee who is a Ford Foundation International Professor of professor of Economists at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology exposes the drawbacks of Indian tax system. According to him, the tax system in India is soft toward the rich and wealthiest section of India. This section pays for lesser tax compared to the poor section of India. The similar observation has also been made by Raghuram Rajan- the governor of Reserve Bank of India, who requests central bank employees to show no mercy towards rich wrongdoers.

Besides a little bit of patchwork on some towers to fill in some holes
in the concrete, all the focus was the lower terminal in November.
1. At the Base
A crew of Jackson Hole Mountain Resort workers moved into excavation mode, which meant removing "ugly soil" and bringing in good soil, according to Spangler. Crews excavated the foundation for the lower terminal right next to Nick Wilson's. Spangler described ugly soil as disintegrated dirt that often had remains of past construction projects, like old drain lines.
The excavation project took about 10 days.
"Because the old terminal is moving and being rebuilt right next to Nick Wilson's, the ground has to be made ready," Spangler said. "The ground has to undergo 'soil nailing.'"
Soil nailing is when you drill bars into the foundation that connect the concrete wall to the earth for reinforced stability.
2. Tower Update:
The only tower without a new foundation still is Tower 1.
"We thought we'd be at Tower 1 by now, but we're not," said Tom Spangler, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort's general manager. "We had some design changes on Tower 1. But now, we are set with Crux subtracting to Wilson Construction. The drilling and the process should start after Thanksgiving."

text: Wandering alone in California, malnourished and suffering from ringworm, Mia was in the worst shape imaginable. She was terrified of people and was happiest hiding in a corner alone. At just 2 years old, Mia had experienced the unthinkable. But with some TLC, a few medications and regular meals, Mia began to turn around. Her ringworm started to heal, she began putting on weight and she started to snuggle with her foster family. Within a few weeks Mia's true personality began to shine through. She became a goofy, playful pup and had finally come out of her shell. Mia ended up finding an amazing family, who could not love her any more. The VanTassel family still keeps in touch with us and constantly sends us updates. Mia is their WORLD and we could not have found a better home for her! Mia does not look or act, like the same dog. She is outgoing, her coat is beautiful and she has a certain, sparkle, in her eyes. Mia is one of our favorite success stories; not only because of her incredible family, but because of the obstacles she had to overcome in order to find such a wonderful family.

text: On 20 February 2015, the Italian Communications Regulatory Authority (Autorità per le Garanzie nelle Comunicazioni – "AGCOM"), by way of its Resolution No. 8/15/CIR, issued the new numbering plan for the telecommunications sector. Such Resolution has been issued upon completion of a public consultation, and it amends and supplements the existing numbering plan by introducing significant changes. The main novelties concern (i) the obligation to display the CLI for premium services activated via SMS/MMS, (ii) payment of e-tickets, (iii) new provisions on the issuance of MNC and IMSI codes, and (iv) the adoption of a new numbering code dedicated to anti-fraud or anti-spamming monitoring.

Australia began the Boxing Day Test hoping for the largest Test crowd in history, but instead they were treated to one of the largest mass walk-outs. Australia are not the sort of team to abandon hopes of retaining the Ashes after one day of a Test, and Ricky Ponting is certainly not that sort of cricketer, but as the Melbourne public left the ground in their thousand, they made it abundantly clear that they believed this was a series all over bar the sledging.
Almost an hour before the close, about 25,000 in a crowd of more than 84,000 had taken a view and headed for the exits. Some of those who remained would have headed for the exits had they not been too drunk to find them. The quickest way to sober them up would have been to tell them the score: Australia 98 all out, England 157 for nought.
It was a chilly evening, and England's control with ball and bat was unrelenting, but with the series still standing at 1-1 the extent of Australian disillusionment was remarkable. The MCG might have achieved that record Test crowd, beating the 90,800 who watched Australia face West Indies in 1961, only for about 12,000 reserved seats for Melbourne CC members, AFL members and corporates, to remain unused. The Melbourne club has promised to review its ticket policy.
For the captain Ponting, it was a thoroughly depressing day, his prospects of becoming only the second Australia captain to lose three Ashes series now a distinct possibility, his potential retirement from Test cricket openly discussed. A large group had travelled over from Mowbray CC, his childhood club in Launceston, Tasmania, a trip planned months ago in the belief that they might witness him regain the Ashes. Instead, they may have been paying homage for almost the final time.
Michael Clarke, the vice-captain and heir apparent, is now required to issue supportive Ponting statements at regular intervals. This was his latest, a further denial that, at 36, Ponting's future is now in doubt.
"I don't think it is in doubt at all," he said. "Ricky has been an amazing leader, a wonderful player for a long time. His record in international cricket speaks for itself. He has copped a fair bit of criticism of late and no doubt he would like to be scoring more runs, as a lot of us would be, but there is no doubt that Ricky should be the captain for Australia and he should be the No3 batter for Australia.
"Runs are around the corner for him. Every single player in that dressing room supports him. He is too good a player not to turn it around. Hopefully in the second innings he can score one of those big double hundreds he has scored before."
The MCG pitch started damp, the skies were overcast; onerous conditions for a captain batting with a broken little finger of his bottom hand. When Chris Tremlett unleashed an excellent delivery to have him caught at second slip for 10, his Ashes record in this series limped to 93 runs at an average of 15.5. It is Mike Hussey's wicket that England now crave, not that of Ponting, who is second perhaps only to Bradman among Australian batsmen and that is a situation that few would have imagined at the start of the series.
Clarke told it roughly as it was: a bad toss to lose, followed by poor technique against the moving ball as all 10 Australian wickets fell in the close-catching cordon, six to the wicketkeeper, Matt Prior, who collected the thin edges so easily that he did not have to dive once.
"England won the toss which was a pretty good start to the day. They bowled very well and it was perfect conditions for Jimmy Anderson," Clarke said. "We have to focus on getting better in these type of conditions. Our shot selection wasn't great. We played some poor shots.
"We obviously didn't show enough discipline. We knew after losing the toss that we had to be disciplined with our short selection and we had to leave the ball well and we just didn't do that well enough. But there are four days to go and it's a long Test match. We know we are good enough to turn it around."
After Perth, Australia had dubbed their quartet of fast bowlers "the wolf pack," and had believed their own publicity so much that they once again left out the left-arm spinner, Michael Beer, and relied entirely on Steve Smith's tyro leg-spin. Ponting calls Beer "the best spin bowler in Australia," but does not want him anywhere near his team.
"If we had won the toss that would have been the last thing we would have been speaking about," Clarke said. "That was the decision that the selectors and Punter wanted and the team supports it 100%."
Punter's punts are not working out. Neither of the two young batsmen brought in to freshen up the Australian dressing room, Phil Hughes and Smith, have the requisite technique in such conditions. Smith has supposedly been encouraged to tell jokes in the dressing room. Perhaps he should ask Ricky if he has heard the one about the disappearing crowd.

"It's never too late to start over. If you weren't happy with yesterday, try something different today. Don't stay stuck. Do better."
My husband and I started writing inspirational web sites, channeling our thoughts and pages toward the positive things in life. If it doesn't make someone smile, inspire them or give them a warm feeling, it doesn't belong on our sites.
I love being creative, resently I went back to school to take a few art classes. I enrolled in a graphic designs program and I'm taking several added art classes on the side. I never considered myself much of an artist growing up. I was more the outdoors person, hiking, skiing, working in the garden. We spent three years hiking through Glacier National Park, photographing and documenting all the hikes for one of our websites. However things change and we get less inclined to spent all of our time away from home.
Four years ago my husband built a pottery studio on the property and we have been teaching ourselves the art of throwing pottery on the wheel. I found this to be a much needed release after the years of computer work. An excellent way to unwind and relax.

Andrew Luck and Robert Griffin III were the top two quarterback prospects leading into the 2012 NFL Draft , and wound up going first and second overall to the Indianapolis Colts and Washington Redskins. Now entering their third season, I'm bringing the debate to fantasy football to determine which guy is the better option.
The Case For Robert Griffin III
Griffin struggles last year are well-documented, but he still averaged 15.4 fantasy points per game (ESPN standard scoring) and had more passing yards (3,203) than he did as a rookie while playing in two fewer games. New head coach Jay Gruden brings a fairly pass-happy offense to Washington, and the additions of DeSean Jackson and Andre Roberts at wide receiver will help.
Being further removed from his ACL tear, and shedding the knee brace that hindered him last season, should bring better rushing production for Griffin. I don't quite see him doing what he did in 2012 (815 rushing yards and seven touchdowns), but something better than last year (489 rushing yards and zero touchdowns) is virtually certain.
The Case For Andrew Luck
Luck threw 23 touchdowns for the second straight year in 2013, while completing over 60 percent of his passes and significantly reducing his interception total (nine; 18 in 2012). Wide receiver Hakeem Nicks was added in free agency, and the expected return to health of wide receiver Reggie Wayne (ACL) and tight end Dwayne Allen (hip) adds more depth to Luck's supporting cast.
Luck has nine rushing touchdowns in his career (four in 2013), and he finished seventh among quarterbacks in rushing yards last season (377). The only quarterback with more rushing touchdowns than Luck last season was Cam Newton (six).
Final Analysis
After the top few quarterbacks are off the board, Luck and Griffin will quickly become two of the best signal callers available in fantasy drafts. Both are likely to finish as top-10 scorers at the position, under the assumption of full health, which is where this decision turns for me. Griffin offers slightly better upside due to his dynamic running ability when fully healthy, but Luck adds enough to his fantasy value as a runner to make any difference in that area fairly negligible. Griffin has not played all 16 games in either of the last two seasons, while Luck has started what looks likely to become a long consecutive start streak. With better likelihood he makes it through the season unscathed, Luck gets the nod from me here.

Faubert tempted by Che
By Laurent Picard
Last Updated: 01/01/70 1:00am
Bordeaux midfielder Julien Faubert is interested by Valencia's interest.
Bordeaux midfielder Julien Faubert has admitted he would be interested in a move to Valencia if he received an offer.
The Spaniards have been watching a number of players in France despite coach Quique Flores declaring that they will not be buying any players in the transfer window, and France international Faubert and his Bordeaux team-mate Rio Mavuba are said to be among the players they are keeping a check on.
It is believed Les Girondins could let a number of players leave during the winter break, with Marouanne Chamakh also considering a move away.
"Valencia are a very good club," Faubert told But!
"It is very interesting, but I have not received any concrete offers, so it is too early to talk about it. We will see."
Asked about Mavuba and Chamakh, he added: "You can't retain a player who wants to leave.
"If they go somewhere else because they are disappointed by the number of minutes they have played, I can understand that.
"But that is a personal decision."

When I was a child, I enjoyed digging in my grandmother's garden for treasure. Back then, my finds consisted largely of glass, and fragments of crockery. Still, in my eyes the glass became diamonds, and the crockery hinted at greater riches to be found – a whole cup, a teapot. It's fair to say that I've always been interested in excavating the past, probably well before I knew what this meant.
More recently, I wrote a book on slavery, which meant that Church Square has been in my consciousness. While I know that the significance of Church Square extends beyond slavery, it is to colonial accounts that we must resort in order to trace the specific history of the area now known as Church Square.
What's in a name?
This piece of land is regarded as one of three tracts of land around which the burgeoning Cape Colony developed, shortly after Jan van Riebeeck arrived in April 1652 under instruction from the Dutch East India Company (VOC). Van Riebeeck's orders were to build a fort and a hospital, to cultivate fruit and vegetables, including grain, and to procure cattle by trading with the Khoi tribes in and around the settlement. His first ordinance, promulgated at a Council meeting on 8 April 1652, announced the building of the fort.
But first, a fort
According to Cape Town: The Making of a City (Nigel Worden et al), "The 1652 occupation was a pre-emptive move to exclude the English, with whom the Dutch were at open war". Located halfway between Europe and the East, and with the availability of fresh drinking water and the potential for procuring meat from the Khoi, Table Bay was of strategic value to the trading superpowers of the day.
But the fort was also intended to keep the Khoi out of the settlement. In the instructions given to Van Riebeeck prior to his departure from Holland, the VOC directors wrote about the need to build a defence post, against both potential trade rivals and "the natives, who are a very rough lot". Work on both the fort and the garden began within the first month of the colonialists' arrival, with Van Riebeeck writing to the Company directors in a dispatch dated 31 December 1653 that the fort had been completed.
Built largely of clay, the fort was never very stable – nor much of a fortification, for that matter. In 1665, the Company instructed Van Riebeeck to build a stone castle. Construction commenced in 1666, and the Castle was completed in 1679.
Church cemetery to city square
The Castle was also the location of a church and cemetery. But in 1667, a decision was made to stop burying people in the Castle, and a site – an abandoned garden plot, near the Company's Garden – was found for a new church to be built. In 1678 the foundations of the new church were laid; while in 1679, foundations were laid for the building of a new Slave Lodge – an imposing edifice, without windows, meant to house the Company's slaves. This brick building was constructed adjacent to the old lodge, which had been gutted in August 1679.
Meanwhile, in 1682, work began on the Company Hospital, situated at the bottom end of the Company's Garden. In 1699, part of the unused garden plots at the end of the Company's Garden were granted to Governor Willem Adriaan van der Stel, his brother Frans, and to Samuel Elsevier, a Company official.
According to a report commissioned by the City of Cape Town's Urban Design Unit and completed in January 2006, Church Square was consciously created as an open space that gave access to the Church. In the report, the authors (Mary Patrick, Tony Manhire and Harriet Clift) write: "Deeds confirm that the creation of the Square was deliberate, and that granting of so-called 'huis' erven took place at the same time that the Church was completed" – in 1704.

The Groote Kerk was enlarged in 1781, and the original cruciform (cross) design made way for a rectangular shape. By this time, Church Square was a residential area. Says genealogist and historian June McKinnon, referencing Cornelius Pama's Vintage Cape Town, "In the north-east corner, the VOC built an impressive house as the residence of the Secunde, Otto Henny, who entertained Captain Cook there with Omai, a Tahitian, who caused quite a stir because the populace had never seen a South Seas Islander before."
Slave market
Given its proximity to the Slave Lodge and other institutions associated with the Company, the history of Church Square is irretrievably linked to slavery. Historians remind us that the Cape was a slave society, in that slavery was not one of a few sources of labour; it was the labour force. Indeed, Van Riebeeck's first request to the Company was for slaves; and while this request was not granted until five years later, he procured slaves from passing ships in the interim. During this time, 38 male and 37 female slaves were co-opted from a Portugese slaver en route from Angola to Brazil by the crew of the Dutch Amersfoort, and remained at the Cape. Shortly afterwards, the Hasselt landed 228 slaves from Angola, who Van Riebeeck described as "attractive, sturdily built and cheerful".
For the duration of the VOC's rule – from 1652 to 1806, with a break between 1795 and 1803 during which time the Cape was occupied by the British – more than 65 000 slaves were brought to the Cape, with the Company the largest slave-holder. Slaves were said to have been sold under a fir tree in Church Square. Today, a plaque on a busy traffic island marks the spot where this tree, felled in 1916, once stood.
While slaves had little leisure time, they accompanied their masters to church, conveying them in sedan chairs, driving their carriages, or carrying their heavy Bibles. Since the Christian faith was for the most part denied to slaves, in the belief that Christians could not be enslaved, they waited in the rain and sun while their masters worshipped. In addition to slaves, it's said that Church Square was popular with the town's dogs – so much so that a dog-whipper needed to be employed. More recently, this popularity has been attributed to the Square's proximity to the church cemetery, especially during the smallpox plague of 1755, which saw many hasty burials!
Remembering the dead
With the site's morbid history, it's easy to believe the stories that it was once a burial ground – part of the Groote Kerk's cemetery. Not so, according to the findings of the Archaeological Impact Assessment undertaken in December 2005 on behalf of the City. Six test pits were dug to depths of between 110cm and 120cm, on various parts of the square. While no human remains were found, material uncovered by the digs included animal bone fragments and incomplete teeth, ceramic pieces, remnants of red bricks, broken clay pipe stems, seashells, "and a single piece of ostrich eggshell". However, these are thought to have been transported from elsewhere in the city and used as landfill, in order to raise the square above the water level.
These days when I think of Church Square, I like to think of it as a place of connection. On nights when the square is deserted, I imagine the space as it once must have been, long before the first Europeans set foot on the land at the bottom of Africa: where Khoisan cattle herders gathered their beasts for the walk home at the end of a long day's grazing. Perhaps they'd stop of an evening, exchanging news of the masted ships spotted powering into Table Bay, or of debris washed ashore – the Cape had long been known as the Cape of Storms, for a reason. Perhaps they'd discuss family concerns, or cattle sickness and other pestilence. Or perhaps this was a gentler time, when a young man could croon his admiration for a woman who caught his eye.

Atletico Madrid proved their defensive prowess yet again as they grabbed a narrow 1 – 0 win against Bayern Munich even after Griezmann managed to miss a penalty.
The match started with a mild pace with both the teams looking to carve out chances but with patience. Atletico had a better opening and tried to spin out some opportunities in the opening 15 minutes but they didn't come to fruition.
Bayern and Atletico continued to attack, with Muller giving a save from Jan Oblak and Manuel Neuer denying Carrasco in the 13th and 18th minute, respectively.
Torres was at his usual worst again when he missed a header from 3 yards where he was unmarked in the 21st minute. Typical.
The deadlock was broken by Atletico as Griezmann fed the ball to Carrasco, who dashed and hit it hard into the back of the net, past the reach of the German shot-stopper, Manuel Neuer.
It was a deserved lead for Atletico, nonetheless. 31 minutes played and Aletico led Bayern by a goal. Game on.
Minutes later, it was Ribery, who had looked like a 25 year old in a 33 year old body with his pace and strength, missed a chance from 10 yards.
Things just weren't quite working out for Bayern Munich as they found it hard to breach Atletico's defence and big guns like Robert Lewandowski, David Alaba and Arturo Vidal were not firing on all cylinders.
Bayern continued to push forward and Atletico kept denying them spaces and wingers like Robben and Ribery were well controlled by the rock solid defense of Atletico Madrid.
Jerome Boateng, who hadn't looked fit, was substituted to bring in Mats Hummels and minutes later, Carrasco was substituted for Gameiro.
Misery kept on increasing for Bayern as Lewndowski missed a header from 10 yards out after CA Alonso whipped in a stunning ball.
Further chances of a win were spoilt for Bayern as Atletico were awarded a penalty in the 83rd minute. Luckily for them, Antoine Griezmann missed it as he hit his shot straight at the bar.
There was nothing much to report except that a shot by Kevin Gameiro hit the side netting in the 92nd.
Cometh the final whistle, it was game. Set. Match.
Atletico had won and Simeone had yet again grinded a result against another top team. Will their campaign last? We'll see in the return leg.

Blooming Heart Mug Rug for Someone You Love
Quick and Easy Project for Any Occasion!
What better way to remind someone that you love them than with this whimsical mug rug? They'll love having this touching flowering heart in their home or at their work space to remind them of you.
As the designer, Brittany Love, reminds us:
"Love is the flower you've got to let grow."
~ John Lennon
Fusible applique and machine buttonhole stitching make this go together quickly. Choose a dark thread for the stitching, as the designer did, or choose a matching thread (or even invisible thread with a zig zag stitch).
Hand or machine embroider the sentiment, or leave it off entirely for a less personal gift.
The finished mug rug is about 6″ x 8.5″. You can also add narrow and wide contrasting borders to increase the size into a small wall quilt. Better yet, line up 3 flower pots in a row, perhaps with narrow sashing in between, for a more complex and eye-catching wall quilt.

VIDEO: Newcastle come from behind twice to draw with West Brom
Newcastle 2 – West Brom 2 (Championship, January 18, 2010) (Longer highlights here.) In the battle between the best defence and most potent attack in the Championship, West Brom took a 13th minutes lead when Jonas Olsson knocked home a Dorrans cross. Newcastle came back into the match eleven minutes later thanks to a fine free-kick from Danny Guthrie. Seconds after the break WBA regained the lead through an easy header for Roman Bednar following another Dorrans assist. Peter Lovenkrands tied the game at 2-2 just seven minutes later for his fourth goal in two matches.

text: Having an Apple product is a lot like dating a narcissistic super model. She's hot and beautiful and everyone envies you, but when things go bad you have to shell out a lot of $$$$ to fix things. Not to mention that you have to play by her rules (locked) and treat her like a baby because she's delicate (scatches and broken screens). If they do something wrong they usually deny it or throw a tantrum as a defense mechanism. Just like Steve Jobs did when people discovered that the iPhone 4 has reception issues. He went ahead and pointed the finger at everyone else. Do I want one? No. I like the Android platform. Most of the apps iPhone users pay for I get for free. Not to mention as a perk, I don't have to pay for AT&T's crappy service. Apple spends a lot of money trying to distinguish its "superior" products from everyone elses. When you present your products to be superior than others you can't compare it to others when things go wrong. What are you telling your customers is that as long as it works it is a better product, but really it's just like any other product when things go bad. In other words, your product is just like any other product. So once you come to that realization you can hopefully rationalize that you are overpaying for the name Apple and/or "i" something. You even overpay for the insurance, which is $14 a month for the iPhone and $7 for other smartphones. Apple had its superiority in processing back in the day. It was an amazing system to render graphics and edit multimedia. However, as time and technology has evolved Apple's only "advantage" (subject to debate) has been it's operating system and the lack of viruses written for it. For those who think a Mac is unhackable do your research. 2008 Fastest Hacked Computer 2009 Safari fastest hacked browser For those who think the hardware is better, think again. The hardware for Apple products is made by different Chinese PC manufactures; Foxconn, Asus, and others. One should ask though: How come people are killing themselves at these Apple manufacturing plants? But that is neither here or there. Though Jobs (the control freak he is) could do something about improving working conditions and employee moral.

Having lunch last week at da office, and over our Subway sandwiches, someone remarks: "Pitt's gonna make the Final Four this year." Now, considering they haven't advanced past the Sweet 16 under Jamie Dixon, that does seem a little preposterous, no?
Last night's thumping of Connecticut in Hartford was impressive, but then again: Dyson is out for the year and Hasheem Thabeet barely showed up. Well, wait; he barely showed up because he had to wrangle with DeJuan Blair all night. The guy is a monster. 22 and 23? AH! How can you not have him somewhere near the top of Big East POY discussion, right? Anyway, Pitt might indeed make the Final 4. Stranger things have happened in our universe. Here now, a look at Mr. Blair.
This is probably the best national article about Blair, via ESPN.Com's Dana O'Neil.
Another good one, via the same author.
This is Blair's page on the Pitt website.
This is a nice piece from Sports Illustrated on the rebounding machine.
Here's some video of him against Okie State.
Interview during last year's Big East Tournament at MSG.
This is what appears to be a decent highlight video of the workman-like efforts of Blair.
This is a better one.
Putback against 'Cuse.
Some highlights from last night's win over Connecticut.
Another beast 20-20 performance, this time versus Notre Dame at the end of January.
Video about DeJuan called, awesomely, "Chairman of the Boards."
Good Andy Katz article on how Blair neutralized Thabeet.
Hey look! A DeJuan Blair SI cover.
OK, this just seems awkward.
The Bucks might want him, eh? Ha.
You think this is true?
This is funny, and a good spot to end.

Pokhara, then Naya Pul to Ghandruk : The Annapurna Trek Begins!
Ghandruk Travel Blog› entry 69 of 268 › view all entries
November 27th, 2008 – by: Stevie_Wes
Before you can hit the trail proper you cross out of Naya Pul to the hamlet of Birethanti where you have, for the first time, to register your presence with an ACAP post. ACAP being the Annapurna Conservation Area Project.
It is a beautifully hot day. As in Pokhara a lot of heat haze. The path is very wide, with a gentle rise in these lower hill reaches. Packs of supply horses and donkeys are moved along the path by their owners laden with packs and sacks of provisions and empty red, clanging butane gas cannisters.
Early in the day groups of blue uniformed kids pass me on their way down to the nearest school. Waves of girls and boys alternatively. Never mixed in that curiously predictable way that youngsters adopt. Firmly segregating themselves into clans, steering well clear of the "smelly girlies" or the "pooey boys"... and the sweaty trekkers too! Greetings exchanged with them, and as they pass me peels of laughter often erupting from over my shoulder.
Todays walk is a beautiful, balmy summers-feeling hillside stroll of a day.
There are lots of quite punishing steps for the final ascent to the hillside village of Ghandruk.

Vandals who apparently used rocks to smash an exposed wastewater pipe caused more than 18,000 gallons of sewage to flow into a tributary of Butler Creek, according to the Augusta Utilities Department.
The New Years Day spill occurred about 8:30 a.m. along a creek behind a residence on White Sand Drive. Crews dispatched to the area found that an exposed pipe at a creek crossing had been broken. The breach was repaired by 2:30 p.m.
It appeared they had hit it with large rocks until the pipe was broken, said Allen Saxon, the departments assistant director.

Fire destroys Rainbow Lounge in Fort Worth
An overnight fire destroyed a popular gay nightclub in Fort Worth that at one time was the flashpoint for conflict between police and the city's LGBT community.
Fire tore through a popular bar early Thursday around 3 a.m. It was the same bar that was at the center of a controversial raid several years ago.
Rodger Fisher, who lives nearby, said he was heading home and saw heavy smoke and lots of flames. Firefighters were already at the scene by that time.
"It was pretty large. By the time I got there the whole roof seemed to be engulfed. The fire department was already here taking care of business," Fisher said.
Initially, firefighters did go inside the building to try to put out the flames. But when the roof started buckling, they immediately got out. The building is now just a shell and will need to be demolished.
The bar was closed at the time and no one was hurt. Some employees were still there. They were locking up when they noticed smoke.
The Rainbow Lounge was put in the national spotlight in 2009 and became a symbol of change for LGBT rights. Eight years ago, a confrontation erupted involving Fort Worth police and TABC agents during a raid. One man got a head injury and five others were arrested. Following an investigation, two TABC agents were fired and three Fort Worth officers were suspended.
"There is a history here," said Michael Malone, who was a regular customer. "Fort Worth did a lot with police diversity because of what happened and maybe how they look at this community now where they didn't before. So, there's a lot of history that is also going. If the club goes, the history goes with it as well."
It's not clear if the Rainbow Lounge owner will relocate or if there will ever be a bar on the property again.
Ray Williams' family has owned the land for about 50 years. He leased the building to the Rainbow Lounge. Right now, he has no plans to rebuild, especially with rising property values in the area just south of downtown.
"I know property values in this area have just skyrocketed in the last three years," he said. "So it may be more advantageous just to scrape and sell the land."
Williams says he is self-insured and is not inclined to rebuild. For someone else to buy the property and rebuild is not impossible, but will be expensive.
Firefighters believe the fire was accidental and caused by either a faulty air conditioning unit on the roof of an ice machine inside the building. Investigators will determine the exact cause.

Vaxxed From Cover Up To Catastrophe 2016 LiMiTED DVDRip x264-LPDSep 15
Plot: In 2013, biologist Dr. Brian Hooker received a call from a Senior Scientist at the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) who led the agency's 2004 study on the Measles-Mumps-Rubella (MMR) vaccine and its link to autism. The scientist, Dr. William Thompson, confessed that the CDC had omitted crucial data in their final report that revealed a causal relationship between the MMR vaccine and autism. Over several months, Dr. Hooker records the phone calls made to him by Dr. Thompson who provides the confidential data destroyed by his colleagues at the CDC. Dr. Hooker enlists the help of Andrew Wakefield, the British gastroenterologist falsely accused of starting the anti-vax movement when he first reported in 1998 that the MMR vaccine may cause autism. In his ongoing effort to advocate for children's health, Wakefield directs this documentary examining the evidence behind an appalling cover-up committed by the government agency charged with protecting the health of American…

Pret A Manger workers can give FREE COFFEE to customers they fancy
IF TIMES are hard and you're in need of a free coffee then your best bet could be to head to Pret A Manger and try your luck.
Staff at Pret can offer free coffees to customers they fancy
The sandwich and hot drinks giant has revealed, rather than offering loyalty cards, it gives complimentary cappuccinos and lattes out to customers staff fancy.
The revelation came today from Pret boss Clive Schlee as he announced pre-tax profits of £76million - up 28 per cent - in its annual results.
He told the Evening Standard over a quarter of customers have had something free under the generous scheme.
"We looked at loyalty cards but we didn't want to spend all that money building up some complicated Clubcard-style analysis," he said.
"Instead the staff have to give away a certain number of hot drinks and food every week.
We looked at loyalty cards but we didn't want to spend all that money building up some complicated Clubcard-style analysis
"They will decide 'I like the person on the bicycle' or 'I like the guy in that tie' or 'I fancy that girl or that boy'.
"It means 28 per cent of people have had something free. It's a nice, different way of doing it."
Mr Schlee revealed annual figures for the period up to January 1 were boosted by new additions to the menu including macaroni cheese and gluten-free five-grain porridge.
He said the macaroni cheese, introduced by the retailer last October, was now selling 50,000 units a week, more than its classic chicken and avocado sandwich.
However, its best selling item is the simple banana, followed by porridge.
Tuna sandwich is no longer the top selling bread based item, with chicken caesar baguette now taking top spot.
Mr Schlee said: "These are a strong set of results and represent another successful year for Pret.
"With double digit growth achieved in virtually all of our markets, we continued our measured expansion of the business by remaining faithful to our core values and by responding to customer demand for innovative, healthy and hot food."
The firm now has 288 stores across the UK.

I have hardware 003 with an Epson screen, NON-rooted. May venture into rooting it sometime in the near future but have so far been fine with the phone as is, and don't want to mess with it! Plus, coming from Pre and preware/homebrew, I'd like to wait for something to come along for Android/EVO that is as easy/smooth as 'rooting' the Pre. In the Baltimore area, which, according to Sprint, is a 4G area but I haven't had much luck so I choose to leave 4G off most of the time to conserve battery. The phone is snappy enough for me using 3G, anyway. -Cara

Unanswered: CASE statement
I am trying to write a case statement that will look at a relationship between two fields. I have done this in the past but not one that needs to look at various options in one of the fields.
Example. I am comparing a location code to a code where an employee's check is mailed.
WHEN EjLocation ='AGACES'
But I need to also include 3415 and any check code that begins with 83 (i.e. 8315, 8350). How do I include this in the THEN statement?

Could you post a small sample set and the result set you would like to see?

My goal is to just show employees whose EjLocation doesn't match the PrbCheckSeqNo listed in the THEN statement.
Name Location CheckCode
John Smith AGACES 8500
This person would show up because they don't equal 3410, 3415 or a code starting with 83##.
SELECT EpLastName, EpFirstName, EjLocation, PrbCheckSeqNo
FROM EJob, EBase, EPayrollBase
/* Check codes not matching facility code- excludes virtuals
Dev. T.Rucker 1/04 */
WHERE EpFlxideb = EjFlxideb AND Ebflxid = Prbflxideb AND PrbDateend is null AND EjDateEnd IS NULL AND Epflxideb = EeFlxideb AND
EeDateEnd IS NULL AND NOT PrbCheckSeqNo = '0000' AND
WHEN EjLocation ='AGACES'
WHEN EjLocation = 'BALCES'
END <> PrbCheckSeqNo
ORDER BY EjLocation, PrbCheckSeqNo
