By Luis Manuel Aguana
After the publication of my previous note (see Father Ugalde's self-fulfilling prophecy, at https://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/p/blog-page_2.html), I face the same question again since I began to say what I think in social networks: "and what do you propose?", in the form of a challenge, as if to say "that's what there is and we have no other option on which to choose". In other words, Venezuelans are condemned to remain betrayed because those responsible for establishing what needs to be done from the "opposition" are now hiding behind the image of a spokesman who in the eyes of Venezuelans in some way represents the two most respected institutions of Venezuelans: the Catholic Church and the Universities. In other words, we have to keep on suffering the tricks of some hope traffickers without being able to do anything else but accept them. That is unacceptable. The Catholic Church through its Episcopal Conference and Venezuelan universities should disassociate themselves from this political scheme.
And I have never really wanted to be pedantic in my reactions, but this time I regret being so because my only possible answer to that question can be summed up in one word: read me. I have written it, not once, but many times. Luckily, today's technology makes it easy. Get into the blog TICs & Derechos Humanos (http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/) and in the top left box that says "Search this blog", put "National Emergency Government". There the system will respond with all the dated notes, where I have written what my proposal has been.
But I haven't just written it, I've acted on what I think. I have gone with distinguished Venezuelans to the legitimate instances to which we still have access and right, such as the legitimate Supreme Court of Justice, which by the criminal action of the regime works from exile, to see if that instance decides a new and unprecedented course that breaks with this claque that has done us so much harm, designating a National Emergency Government, making this unfortunate history take a different course. That is still my hope. But that is by no means an easy solution.
Venezuelans by construction are given to easy solutions. That's in our blood, in our DNA. We are again letting "the people who know about it" take us to the slaughterhouse. First the electoral on December 9 (we will have time this week to address that issue in depth) and then the thorny issue of a transitional government in January in the best MUD style.
So far, contrary to what people believe, if there is another alternative in relation to the transition of government: 1) the one that Father Ugalde wrote in his article and about which I commented in my last note, and 2) the one that we have proposed and requested some Venezuelans to the legitimate Supreme Court of Justice in exile, to designate a National Emergency Government, in the terms established in that request (see request of June 28 of this year in https://tinyurl.com/y7x87ldb).
The first one, exposed by Father Ugalde, allows the official opposition to lead the solution according to their interests, negotiating with the regime a cohabitation, or even worse, not to decide anything in relation to it; either because there is no agreement among the political forces that fight to have the leading role after January 10, or because Maduro is imposed from his Constituent with the new constitutional text that they are cooking now, and that will reveal us after the elections of Councilmen. That would put an end to what now exists institutionally - the National Assembly and the Legitimate TSJ - to begin the new castro-communist era in Venezuela. There is no way to stop that without real and institutional power within the Armed Forces to change that course of events. My opinion is that there is no such power because otherwise we wouldn't be talking about this and the regime would have already fallen. What will follow is the same National Assembly with another Directive in January, which will not approve a transition as it has occurred so far since January 9, 2017, but with the aggravating factor of a new castro-communist Cuban constitution around the corner.
To continue doing the same thing expecting different results, trusting that the official opposition will get us out of the crisis, as they have promised since January 2016, convincing people that when Maduro's constitutional period ends on January 10, 2019 everything will change, but without the demonstration of the strength to back that, it will not have the same consequences as Einstein postulated, but worse. It will take us away from having decided in time on a National Emergency Government through the legitimate mechanisms we still have because all the institutionality based on what we know from the 1999 Constitution will disappear, thus giving the regime a definitive step towards its consolidation.
They try to convince the population, including important factors of the International Community, that Venezuela can leave the regime alone by its own means when for them, at bottom, the most important problem is not to escape from the regime but to lead the process. And that has all of us passengers on this ship paralyzed, discussing who the new captain will be while we are being carried by the current into tragedy. This does not allow anyone to see that the solution has long since ceased to be in Venezuela, preventing decisions from being made that would activate the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) of the nations of the hemisphere for the Venezuelan population.
The only result of all this has been that no one outside wants to commit to the Venezuelan crisis, indicating that "it is we who must solve the problem" we are getting into. And at this point the Castrocommunists have advanced so far that it is no longer possible to stop the inertia of the Titanic to hit the iceberg that threatens it a few leagues away, even if we try to divert the ship.
What's the solution? To invent, as Master Simón Rodríguez used to say. "Either we invent or we make mistakes". And the invention is to stop the continuous pretension of the regime and its collaborators paid with the money of the Gorrin-Andrade duo, assuming the risk of handing over the responsibility of driving the ship to those who, from the outside, can twist that mistaken matrix that is leading us directly to collide with the iceberg of Castrocommunism, because the regime and its opposition are agreeing that things remain as they are, doing irreparable damage to the Venezuelan people.
There are risks? Of course there are! My illustrious and remembered Professor Antonio Cova said that the Japanese, the Koreans, the Taiwanese and all the people who have done something in the world, took the risk, took the risk, threw themselves trembling but did it. He said: "It is very dangerous not to take the risk because it can have a harmful effect on the population. Since the Spanish conquest, the Venezuelan has become accustomed to observing flagrant contradictions between what people say and what they do. We have already seen the conquerors "in the name of God" make the sign of the cross and then commit the worst barbarities. And one of the worst things we can do with the population is not to want to take risks" (extract from the conference "The obstacles of man" by Antonio Cova to the graduates of IESA-PAG VII, December 5, 1990 The reminder to the memory of Prof. Cova just 28 years later is worth!).
And indeed, Venezuelans consider it "normal" for them to tell us something and not comply with it. But this is no longer an electoral debate, it is a very serious discussion where the future of the next generations of Venezuelans is being decided, and the decision is now, not in January 2019.
Some political factors have been dedicated to destroying and underestimating the only Power that has acted in consonance with what is happening in Venezuela, the legitimate TSJ. All the sentences that this High Court in exile has produced since the first one on October 25, 2017 have been aimed at rescuing freedom in Venezuela, beginning with the non-recognition of the regime's National Constituent Assembly, going through the Electoral Chamber's sentence that annuls the CNE's flawed automated voting system, and ending, until now, with the historic sentence that removes Nicolás Maduro Moros from the Presidency of the Republic as corrupt. There is no possible comparison between that and the expectations we had of the National Assembly.
The legitimate TSJ has persistently requested the support of the constitutionally established popular representation in the National Assembly for the judgments it has handed down. The opposition parties of the Assembly have turned their backs on them, and do not even consider them to be a formally constituted Tribunal, but rather "Magistrates appointed by this Assembly", ignoring in their own actions the decisions of the legitimate TSJ. Crassus error. The deputies should know that if they do not recognize them, they indirectly recognize the TSJ of the regime. Had it not been for the letter from Luis Almagro, Secretary General of the OAS, on August 20, 2018 to Omar Barboza, President of the AN, urging compliance with the decisions of the legitimate Supreme Court, I have no doubt that the National Assembly would have ignored the High Court in exile that same day and Almagro ruined the party for them (see Almagro, a premonitory letter, in https://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/p/almagro-premonitory-letter.html).
What should we Venezuelans do in the face of this situation? The same as the deputies of the National Assembly, or should we directly support the decisions of the only Power that is doing something for the rescue of freedoms in Venezuela? For many Venezuelans the answer is obvious.
Some politicians in Venezuela insist that the legitimate TSJ "has not been recognized" abroad and that its decisions cannot be executed in Venezuela. But should the High Court in exile "be recognized"? Who should make their sentences be carried out in the midst of the kidnapping to which international class delinquents have subjected us? We, the citizens, according to Art. 333 and 350 of the Constitution! The Courts speak through their sentences," said Dr. Blanca Rosa Mármol de León, Emeritus Magistrate of the Supreme Court of Justice. The only thing that should matter to Venezuelans is that the sentences are adjusted to Law. They are not there to be "recognized" but to sentence with justice and in accordance with Venezuelan laws and the Venezuelan Constitution. And they are doing it!
The politicians of the official Venezuelan opposition refuse to let them decide the Transitional Government or National Emergency Government, as we call it, despite the fact that this Power Vacuum has done immeasurable damage to Venezuelans. Well, the alternative that we propose, once again, over and above the criminal and indolent pettiness of the official opposition, is that it should be the legitimate Supreme Court of Justice who decides who will make up that National Emergency Government, producing what I called in a last note "A Release Ballot for Venezuela" (see explanation in my note of the same name, in http://ticsddhh.blogspot.com/p/a-release-ballot-for-venezuela.html).
With that Ballot in hand, those designated illustrious citizens should begin the titanic work of seeking our liberation, convincing the International Community to help us resolve the kidnapping of which we are victims in Venezuela, making effective the Responsibility to Protect (R2P) to which we Venezuelans are entitled by a universally accepted decision of the United Nations. And all of us, not the official opposition political class, who apparently eat in full, have bodyguards and can travel abroad to resolve their health, are the ones who have to back them unanimously, no one else, letting the world know that this National Emergency Government does represent us, and not this band of opportunists. This is the only way I think we will have a real chance to get out of this nightmare.

News that governments are not meeting targets is alarming, but the actions of activists are a reason to hope

When it is unveiled next week, the report from the UN's Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) will give a clearer idea of the probable consequences of this failure. One recent study suggested the impact of a temperature rise of 2C could be more severe than previously thought, and include sea level rises of six metres by 2100. The relationship between climate change and specific weather events is complex, but modelling suggests global warming made this summer's European heatwave twice as likely. The increased frequency and severity of tropical storms fit with longstanding predictions that warmer oceans will bring more chaotic weather.
Slowing the rise in temperature means taking steps towards decarbonisation that are more dramatic than anything achieved so far, such as the eradication of emissions from cars and air travel. Activists are hugely important in raising public awareness. So it was disappointing that three environmental activists were sentenced to between 15 and 16 months in jail for their part in a protest against fracking in Lancashire. This punishment, for causing a public nuisance, is unduly harsh and disproportionate. The 2008 Climate Change Act, committing the UK to an 80% reduction in emissions by 2050, was a world-leading piece of legislation. Now the advisory Committee on Climate Change says we are on track to miss legally binding targets, and that this looming failure is partly attributable to government. As well as transport emissions and the removal of incentives for insulation, it has raised concerns about the regulation of fracking. Fracking – or shale gas extraction – is unpopular in England (it is banned in France and Scotland). Campaigners are also opposing government proposals to smooth the planning process for frackers. We do not advocate breaking the law. But when the news on climate change is so alarming, the commitment of green activists around the world is one reason for hope.
The UN's role in leading and coordinating multilateral action is also crucial. The crisis surrounding its environment chief, Erik Solheim, is all the more unfortunate given the timing. Questions over his $488,513 travel expenses, and his wife's position at a company that has a contract with the UN, must be resolved as a matter of urgency. Governments must also start to take seriously suggestions such as the one made by the French president, Emmanuel Macron, that if the US eventually quits the Paris climate accord, other countries should refuse to trade with it. Donald Trump's administration is a threat to global stability. Last week it emerged Trump officials argued that because global temperatures, on current trends, will be 7C higher by 2100, the US should not bother doing anything to inhibit global warming but instead ought to loosen restrictions on carbon emissions. This is absurd nihilism. Mr Trump needs to be convinced of his wrongheadedness, for the world's sake. The UN's report is expected to say it will be extremely difficult to meet the 1.5C goal – but not impossible. We should all hold on to that idea.

When I was 14 or so, a friend and I made up a game a game with magnets and steel ball bearings. The idea was to launch you ball bearing at the right speed and direction to navigate a series of magnetic barriers, and finally hit the target, which represented the other players "base". I don't think we ever had a name for it, but the idea in our heads was that this represented a battle in space, launching a missiles of into a complex gravity well to attack the enemy. Very low tech, but we had a great time with it.
Now you can get a very similar game right in your own browser, and it adds even more difficulty. Gravity Pods (not functional in my browser) has been out for several years, and now Gravity Pods 2 has recently been released.
This game lets you use gravity, repulsion, and reflection to guide a projectile from the launcher to the target. This forms a sort of puzzle where you use the laws of physics to guide your missile through a maze.
The game offers 50 levels, starting from the easy-introductory and working up to fiendishly-difficult. Some levels involve moving obstacles and wormholes that require precise timing as well as clever use of the available tools to solve.
The Gravity and Repulsion objects are particularly useful, but they have long range effects, so what at first seems to be the perfect placement can foul you up later. Some levels that at first appear very difficult turn out to have very limited ways they can be solved, and so are much easier than they appear. Of course, so that look easy, are not.
It's good fun, just don't start playing Gravity Pods 2 if you have something important to do, because you might be at it for a while. :-)

Wakey wakey open your eyes, Today is the best day in both of our lives.
Wakey wakey open your eyes,Today is the best day in both of our lives.Today we'll be joined in matrimony,Us together my Princess, you and Me.Climb out of bed my darling and begin to dress,I know today you're sure to impress, With a flowing outfit I am longing to see,Made more perfect with your glowing, natural beauty.Your hair's been done perfect, your make up too,Soon we'll be married and my dreams will come true.At the church I'll be waiting for you to arrive,To begin the new chapter of the rest of our lives.There at the church I eagerly wait,For you to arrive of course fashionably late,Over the brow the car does appear,Soon you'll be in my arms with nothing to fear.The Wedding March begins the room filled with pride,To see the joining of love between myself and my bride,As you walk down the aisle the emotion is felt,And as my eyes fixes upon you my heart does melt.The ceremony begins and love fills the air,The love we feel for each other so pure so rare,With tears in our eyes we say our I do's,And promise to each other this love we won't lose.The ceremonies over, the register is signed,The woman I've married I was lucky to find,Next to the reception where good times awaits, To celebrate the love of two perfect soulmates.At the reception the food begins to arrive,On each table conversations are alive,Two families mixing and be-coming one,New friends and acquaintances now the welcomes are done.Soon are the speeches from best man and co.,With smiles and warmth from laughter in flow,Then with the toasts to us the two, I gaze and feel my full love for you.Now the first dance in front of our guests,Stood close together chest to chest,The music is flowing my heart begins to pull,My wife in my arms my life is now full.The evening begins and the drinks start to flow,Everyone's dancing and enjoying the show,But times getting on and the room starts to empty,We thank them for coming and sharing emotions a-plenty.The evening draws to a close and soon it will end,But never will our love with me and my best friend,Our memories of this day will last forever so true,And remember my wife I will always love you!

There's been a double whammy here at newsonaut headquarters.
First, physical renovations have made computer access dicey with construction going on all around it.
And second, we were booted off one web hosting company and onto another one. This caused a couple of problems in the back end that were tricky to figure out but, fortunately, easy to fix.
At least I think they're fixed. Stay tuned.

E42 Salient Māori News Items to 29 November 2019
- Lil Anderson (Te Rarawa, Ngāpuhi) has been appointed Chief Executive of the Office for Māori Crown Relations – Te Arawhiti.
- Last Saturday the Minister of Justice, Andrew Little, announced the Government will introduce an Electoral Amendment Bill which will restore the rights of people imprisoned to remain on the electoral roll and vote in a general election, if they are serving a term of less than three years. (Rights to vote were removed in 2010.) We advise in the Waitangi Tribunal report – WAI 2870 The Māori Prisoners' Voting Rights Inquiry (refer E31/ 2019), the Tribunal found:
- the current legislation is inconsistent with the Treaty of Waitangi;
- Crown officials failed to ensure adequate consultation with Māori which led to Crown officials offering support and advice to the Law and Order Select Committee which failed to provide sufficient information about the effect the legislation would have on Māori, (breaching Treaty active protection);
- the Crown failed in its duty of informed decision-making (breaching Treaty active partnership); and
- changes to the Act reduced the opportunity for Māori to equitably participate in the electoral process and exercise their tino rangatiratanga individually or collectively (breaching Treaty active protection and Treaty equity).
We also note the High Court found the current law to be inconsistent with the right to vote in the New Zealand Bill of Rights Act 1990. This decision was later upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court. This Bill will affect approximately 1,900 imprisoned people of which 950 will be tangata Māori[1].
- The Health, Quality and Safety Commission published a report entitled Learning from Adverse Events – Adverse Events reported to the Health Quality & Safety Commission 1 July 2018 to 30 June 2019. This annual report provides a breakdown of reported adverse events which occurred within the healthcare sector. In the year to 30 June 2019, 916 adverse events were reported to the Commission. Regarding Māori the report found:
- 56 (6%) incidents of adverse events were reported by Māori;
- Māori are under-represented in reported adverse events;
- Māori are younger when experiencing adverse events; and
- Māori are more likely to be affected by events where implicit bias could impact on their care, such as unrecognised deterioration of health.
[1] Based on 50% of the imprisoned population being Māori.
- Te Rūnanga o Toa Rangātira (Ngāti Toa) have signed a Partnership Agreement with Kāinga Ora – Homes and Communities [1] and the Ministry of Housing and Urban Development. The partnership will see Te Āhura Mōwai – Ngāti Toa community housing provider manage properties and tenancies for circa 900 state owned homes across western Porirua for a 25-year period.
- This week Kim Symes was sentenced to 10- months home detention, 150 hours community service and $5,000 reparations in the Manukau District Court. Ms Symes was found guilty in September for defrauding her former employer – Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o te Tonga o Hokianga – of circa $250,000

Molecular diodes which perform 50 times better than all prior designs have been developed by Columbia University engineering researchers.
The new techology, created under the direction of Latha Venkataraman, associate professor of applied physics at Columbia, is the first to develop a single-molecule diode that may have real-world technological applications for nanoscale devices.
Said Venkataraman:
"Our new approach created a single-molecule diode that has a high (>250) rectification and a high "on" current (~ 0.1 micro Amps). Constructing a device where the active elements are only a single molecule has long been a tantalizing dream in nanoscience. This goal, which has been the 'holy grail' of molecular electronics ever since its inception with Aviram and Ratner's 1974 seminal paper, represents the ultimate in functional miniaturization that can be achieved for an electronic device."
Electronic Devices Getting Smaller Every Day
The field of molecular electronics is becoming ever more important for solving the problem of further miniaturization. Single molecule devices represent the limit of miniaturization.
The idea of creating a uni-molecular diode was suggested in 1974 by Arieh Aviram and Mark Ratner. They theorized that a molecule could act as a rectifier, a one-way conductor of electric current.
Ever since, scientists have been exploring the charge-transport properties of molecules.
They have shown that single-molecules attached to metal electrodes, single-molecule junctions, can be made to act as a variety of circuit elements, including resistors, switches, transistors, and, indeed, diodes. They have found that it is possible to see quantum mechanical effects, such as interference, manifest in the conductance properties of molecular junctions.
Because diodes act as an electrical valve, their structure needs to be asymmetric so that electricity flowing in one direction experiences a different environment than electricity flowing in the other direction. In order to develop a single-molecule diode, researchers have simply designed molecules that have asymmetric structures.
Lead author Brian Capozzi, a PhD student working with Venkataraman, explained:
"While such asymmetric molecules do indeed display some diode-like properties, they are not effective. A well-designed diode should only allow current to flow in one direction—the 'on' direction—and it should allow a lot of current to flow in that direction. Asymmetric molecular designs have typically suffered from very low current flow in both 'on' and 'off' directions, and the ratio of current flow in the two has typically been low. Ideally, the ratio of 'on' current to 'off' current, the rectification ratio, should be very high."
Ionic Solution
To surmount the issues associated with asymmetric molecular design, Venkataraman and her colleagues focused instead on developing an asymmetry in the environment around the molecular junction. They created an environmental asymmetry through a rather simple method.
They surrounded the active molecule with an ionic solution and used gold metal electrodes of different sizes to contact the molecule.
"It's amazing to be able to design a molecular circuit, using concepts from chemistry and physics, and have it do something functional," Venkataraman says. "The length scale is so small that quantum mechanical effects are absolutely a crucial aspect of the device. So it is truly a triumph to be able to create something that you will never be able to physically see and that behaves as intended."
Their results achieved rectification ratios as high as 250: 50 times higher than earlier designs.

The Alpha and Omega Hold The Wheels In The Work No.2 - By Cam Munroe
From her studio on the Kapiti Coast, Cam Munroe has used a skateboard deck as her base to create this striking original acrylic painting.
"I see art as an 'idea'. Painting is a way of processing abstract notions. I have a visual library of images and motifs that occupy my work. They crop up in differing incarnations over time. The lost meaning behind ancient symbols, texts, and imagery fascinates me and I try to incorporate some of that 'unknowable' aesthetic language in my work. For me, the paintings hint at a mathematical and visual problem-solving mystery".

16 Aug Corporate Massage – Employee Wellness, Client Appreciation Massage
Hello Lovelies!
Ok well that escalated quickly. Summer fun is over and we're back to the grind.
I have to share a few of my fave pics – first one almost all my family in Rivera Maya (missed you Asia!) & first day of 4th & 6th grade! HUGE THANK YOU to my team for holding it down while we got our much needed TIME-OUT. My kids got their first passport stamp and now want to learn Spanish fluently. #travelbug
Now it's time to rock and roll for the rest of the year. Fall & Winter are very important times in the Spa & Salon industry and I'm excited to get focused back on business development, amazing treatments, and beautiful Spa days. The Lash trend is not stopping so Kayla will be learning Volume/3D style in October, and adding Reiki to the menu turned out to be a great idea! If you're curious about energy work, request Paula or Cinde!
We've also landed a few big corporate massage events this Fall. It's an honor to be invited into business spaces and help share some love and appreciation for hard working teams. Our rate is $90/hour for Mobile Massage events – if you're a local business owner or manager, call or email me and I'll give you a sweetheart "locals only" deal.
I always welcome your feedback on things we can more or less of, differently or better, as we continue to serve our community in all things Health, Wellness, & Beauty. Hit me up, my door is open. What do you want to see from us this Fall/Winter? Where's your personal trend headed? Hopefully you're trending awesome… 🙂
Much love to all,
JulieB, LMT

PET Plastic Containers Vs PVC Plastic Containers – What's the Difference? And Why You Should Care.
- March 7, 2020
- 2
Plastics in normal life come in many different forms, and it is really difficult to understand which of the forms in necessary for our specific needs. Similarly, this form of plastics not only vary in their names, but they are also dissimilar when it comes to the fact, that how they are made and how they should actually be used in normal life. Not knowing what each of the forms of plastic means, might be a big problem for the customers or the consumers, and therefore, this article is dedicated to explain the difference between two most used plastic containers, the PET Plastic Containers and the PVC Plastic Containers.
The most common type of plastic is PVC, or polyvinyl chloride. PVC is basically a cheap plastic form, which is generally used in constructions and sometimes also used in molding pipes, cables, hoses and material for roofing.
Another form of plastic, which is also widely used in the industry today is, PET, or Polyethylene Terephthalate. This form of plastic is most generically used for packaging foods and other non-perishable things. Unlike PVC, PET is lightweight and is very durable, thereby allowing it to be used for a multitude of products, such as non-perishable supplies and food items.
As we said, PET is very durable unlike PVC. Since, PVC is used as a construction supply, therefore it is very evident that it should be hard and durable. But, on the contrary, PVC tends to break down with the exposure of the UV rays from the sun. No matter what the exposure be of the sun, but PVC pipe will break down, after some time for the exposure. Another disadvantage of PVC is that it also leaches chemical, whenever it is touched with any other substance. Therefore, as soon as the PVC pipe is damaged, it is advised to the customers that they actually throw it away . Most of the PVC pipes are thrown away in landfills or they are incinerated quickly. After being throw away too, the PVC pipes emit poison. Also, burning PVC will emit a gas named dioxin and hydrogen chloride, which is again bad for people who actually stays near the burst.
Since, PVC emit a specific chemical whenever it comes in contact with something other than it, it is not advised to carry food items inside a PVC foil. Not only food items, PVC should never be used for packaging, since PVC changes its state once it comes in contact with the material.
On the contrary, PET is supposed to be durable and lightweight. But PET contains a UV stabilizer which is actually pretty good. PET is also recyclable, which means it's a green form of plastic. The PET containers, which can be used to have them.
The PET containers are also recyclable and they can be recycled to do something different for instance like clothing. PET also has the highest recycling rate than any other forms of music.
Orenda supplies and manufacture custom built plastic products for the manufacturing industry. They have the technical expertise to design these things, that will exactly suit your needs. Call them to know more.

11 February 2019Press Releases
Managing Partner, Robert Holland, alongside Partners Alex Peal and Meera Rajah, have recently returned from an excursion to meet with both new and current clients in India.
The firm has a strong pipeline in South East Asia, which is headed up by Meera, and involves many sectors of the firm. This particular trip involved visiting the sets of several upcoming full length feature films where the team were able to witness first-hand the work that goes into each project.
The Media team at James Cowper Kreston work closely with film producers to ensure all international tax liabilities are managed effectively and assist production teams to claim available film tax reliefs in the UK. The team also provide support in many other financial areas.
"We secured eight new projects during this visit," says Meera. "And were fortunate enough to visit the sets of a few of the projects we are currently working on. Alex and I were given the opportunity to meet Salman Khan, who is one of the biggest stars in Indian cinema today, along with his co-stars. Being on set allows us to gain a first-hand look at the films on which we are working and means we can speak to our clients face to face, allowing for better communication."
"It's always fascinating to visit the set of projects," says Alex. "The amount of work that goes into making a production of this magnitude is astonishing and we are very proud to be a part of it. Working with international clients allows us to gain a better understanding of the country's tax and VAT legislation which in turn helps us to provide a better service in the long run."

Iranian Drone Downed
Posted by cool_ambo on July 19th, 2019 | Comments Off on Iranian Drone Downed
If my intuition still serves me right
the drone is not Iranian,
It was most probably an American drone
controlled by an American
and downed by an American cruiser,
Another guess is that it was
a UK drone.
The provocations to initiate conflict
and prove that it rules the world
are bordering on the ridiculous,
turning the United States from a sanction bully
to the fake news pest,
so much so that the rest of the world
have started the search for both
Trump vaccines and Trump pesticides.
Let us therefore have a look-see
at what the downed drone looks like.
(it must be a drone.
they wouldn't use a Gatling gun to down a kite!
or would they?)

You can't fault New York Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow for a lack of persistence. The biggest champion of online poker in that chamber of the state legislature has once again introduced a bill to legalize internet poker in the Empire State.
Online poker has had some success in Albany, though it has obviously never been legalized and regulated. In both 2016 and 2017, an online poker bill passed the Senate easily and one made it through the Senate Gaming Committee last year, but even when they cleared the full Senate, nothing ever got done in the Assembly.
Pretlow has been the one to introduce bills in the Assembly and has done so several times. He has also been unafraid to back off of his own bills if he becomes unsure that all of the bases are covered. While a lot of us would like him to just jam legislation through, due diligence is the proper way to go. In 2016, for example, he delayed his bill because he developed doubts about the ability of online poker rooms to curb cheating and be sure customers were playing from within state borders. He ended up going to New Jersey to meet with the Garden State's Attorney General to learn about the technology used in its gaming industry. He took it all in and felt confident that said technologies worked, so he ramped things up with his bill again.
"When I do sign off on something," he said in an interview with FIOS1 News at the time, "my colleagues feel that it is a good deal and they don't question why I made a certain decision. They know that if that decision was made, it's for good reason. So I don't really see there's going to be much opposition to moving this along."
Of course, there was opposition, or at least little action for the bill, but his point still remains.
Pretlow's current bill is essentially the same as his last one. Rather than making online poker specifically legal, it would classify it as a game of skill, which, in turn, makes the game "not gambling" and therefore legal. The bill doesn't go through every little detail of regulation, but instead authorizes the creation of regulations, the granting of licenses, and the collecting of gaming taxes. The nitty-gritty would be penned later.
Though Pretlow has not had success getting a heck of a lot of movement on his previous online poker bills, that he is introducing another is a good sign. In December, he said that he would prioritize sports betting over poker if it came down to a choice between the two, simply because the sports betting returns in other states have already dominated those of poker.
"Online poker, I think the revenue for the state is projected at $20-25 million, while this is $150 million minimum," Pretlow told Online Poker Report. "I have a much better argument for sports betting."
Pretlow seems more than happy to get both online poker and sports betting legalized, but he wants them done their own terms; he will not package poker with a sports betting bill.

Now good luck identifying them all... the only one we can be certain is that the second from the left is Elly. BrickBreak 20:00, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- I'm willing to bet that the fourth from the left is Charlotte (her pigtails resemble the witch's "candy-wrapper" ears), but let's hope that the main website attaches the silhouettes with the witches. Momoism 20:18, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- Fifth from left is Elsa Maria, I think. Just going off the hair style. 220.127.116.11 20:54, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- I added that the third from the left might be Gisela (her curved hairstyle resembles her Witch's Kiss), but we can't tell exactly which witches from the series appear here. There are only ten unidentified magical girls in the screencap, whereas nine witches (not including Oktavia and Kriemhild) appeared in the show and three more were given informational cards. Momoism 21:30, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- One lineup guess proposed on /a/: Gisela, Elly, Isabel, Patricia, Gertrud, Mami, Homura, Madoka, Sayaka, Kyouko, Suleika, Uhrmann, Albertine, Charlotte, Roberta
[1] One possible permutation. Prima 21:56, 22 April 2011 (UTC)
- [2] My interpretation. Here's the "logic" (for the not-shown witches, I tried connecting them to familiars, and admittedly Elsa Maria's justification is that I drew her similarly): [3] [4] [5]/[6]/[7] [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] [13] [14] MsDevin92 02:06, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
- Also, I think it's notable that the silhouettes in Episode 11 appeared to be serving Walpurgisnacht. Their shiny appearance sort of resembled corrupted Soul Gems. Does Walpurgis turn the shadows of doomed Puella Magi into her familiars? Does she get more power for each defeated witch? MsDevin92 04:00, 23 April 2011 (UTC)
I will state the obvious here because I felt it was needed: There are only 10 unidentified figures, while there are twelve unidentified witches. Three witches weren't shown in the anime, so it might be two of them, or that it's actually all three of them and we have an extra figure that never appeared in the anime. The fact that the figure on the left is cut off might indicate that there are more figures on the left side. -- Universalperson 01:01, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
- The fact that there's two an not three missing makes it kind of a gamble. But I agree with you, there should be more to the left: I guess we'll have to wait for Word of God/Blu-Ray/alternative airing to see the whole picture. BrickBreak 01:05, 28 April 2011 (UTC)
A comparison chart showing one of the silhouettes with the matching Walpurgis familiar, and Charlotte, who has a nose the same shape as the silhouette's tail, similar hair, and a resemblance to the wand. KM 20:10, 19 May 2011 (UTC)
I made some image compilations on my opinion as to which witch matches which silhouette. Here they are: [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] [21] -they are in no particular order. And I agree with the above user about Charlotte's possible Puella Magi form. That's very strong visual evidence, so I decided not to make a compilation for Charlotte. ViralJuggernaut 7:12, 14 June 2011 (UTC)
I like those Albertine, Suleika, and Izabel ones. Here's closeups of Gertrud's paintings from the BD. This portrait on the door has a woman wearing a bow around her neck. I'm not sure what to make of the orange painting.
Looks like Elly, Charlotte, and Walpurgis are settled. Since the Ika Musume one is right next to the main characters, like Walpurgis, it's probably another witch that was prominent in the show, like Elsa Maria or Gertrud. KM 00:14, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
This sketch from the production notes shows the Walpurgis familiars with more detail. For example, the one suspected to be Charlotte has bangs similar to Charlotte's and polka-dotted tights.KM 02:10, 21 August 2011 (UTC)
- Seeing how the Production Note shows the silhouettes in more detail, perhaps we should see if we can upload pictures of the pages of the silhouettes after the Production Note is released later this month. 220.127.116.11 00:28, 3 September 2011 (UTC)
- Assuming the scans show up or someone contributes them, sure. --randomanon 00:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC
- Charlotte. The top one I believe to be Gisela because of ViralJuggernaut's speculah and the circular object in the middle of the Puella Magi's apron(?) bears some resemblance to the large gear in the center of Gisela's body. I believe the one at the bottom (the last one in the ending picture) may be Uhrmann due to it's feral-ish appearance, which can be taken as canine by some. It may also be Roberta for the same reasons ViralJuggernaut sees so. 220.127.116.11 04:06, 5 September 2011 (UTC)
- Assuming the scans show up or someone contributes them, sure. --randomanon 00:35, 3 September 2011 (UTC
In the PN 05 image, the girl next to what I strongly think is Charlotte could perhaps be Uhrmann because her dress matches that of her minions. In the latest PN picture, I think the last two could be Suleika because the attire is mismatched (dressing in the dark to go with the speculah that she was blind *wink wink*) I retract my statement that she could be Roberta because it was revealed that she was indeed an older woman when she became a witch. Was there anything more in the PN about the witches or even the guidebook? ViralJuggernaut
- Ah, perhaps what the guidebook says about the design labirynths is a clue to their wishes? Charlotte's sounds like she wished for her dying mother to eat cheesecake instead of curing her disease. ViralJuggernaut
- Those were likely early concepts that were changed later in development; for example the "train" barrier which probably became Oktavia -- Universalperson
Just bumping this to ask that someone upload the BD version of this screenie. Eager to know if there are more girls to the left, afterall. --BrickBreak 03:00, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- Here. Did not crop, BD shows less. --randomanon 03:41, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- Quite disappointing :/
Thanks, anyway. --BrickBreak 08:06, 22 September 2011 (UTC)
- Quite disappointing :/
Production Note
These might be helpful. --randomanon 04:11, 3 December 2011 (UTC)
Since the magical girl that greatly resembles Charlotte does not look at all like Nagisa, what if Walpurgisnacht's minions are gijinka-ized versions of the magical girls of the witches? Meaning that they are the original magical girls, but their outfits are similar to their witch forms. That's the only thing that I can think of that can account for the Charlotte-looking magical girl not looking like Nagisa. -ANTHONY 02:53, 10 May 2014 (UTC)

Easy Keto Egg Salad with Homemade Mayo! Confession: you don't really need a recipe for…
Our best selling ebook turned into a course – Meal prep ignite!
Our best selling ebook turned into a course – Meal prep ignite!
Some of the best, easy keto snacks come from simple, wholesome foods. Snack time doesn't have to involve packaged, processed junk! Well, snacks don't get much simpler or more nutritious than this low carb avocado tomato salad.
Tangy, juicy tomatoes and nutty, creamy avocado are a match made in heaven! And, just a sprinkle of salt and a squeeze of bright, fresh citrus make this simple low carb salad SO flavorful. Munch on this cool, refreshing avocado tomato salad as an easy keto snack, or pack to take as part of an on-the-go lunch!
Often, it's the simplest dishes that are the most nutritious. And this 4-ingredient avocado tomato salad is proof! Its two main ingredients—avocado and tomatoes—are both all-star superfoods, rich in wholesome nutrients and disease-fighting plant compounds like antioxidants.
Tomatoes are well-known as one of the best sources of lycopene, which gives them their deep red color. And, lycopene acts as an incredible antioxidant in the human body! Antioxidants fight oxidation in the body, caused by damaging free radicals.
As we age, free radicals damage our cells and contribute to signs of aging like wrinkles, as well as the development of serious diseases like cancer. But, a diet full of antioxidant-rich plant-based foods (like this avocado tomato salad) can help slow and reverse that damage!
Besides all of its luscious creaminess, avocado brings some impressive nutrients to the table. And that's because its deliciously indulgent texture comes from nutritious monounsaturated fats!
These fats, abbreviated as MUFAs and also known as omega-9s, are actually THE most abundant fatty acids in most cells in our body. Because they're majorly important! We all need MUFAs to help our bodies actually make use of the vitamins and minerals that we eat.
But, omega-9s also have some incredible health benefits, like balancing cholesterol, improving insulin sensitivity, fighting chronic inflammation, and even improving mood! And, with just the half of an avocado in this low carb avocado tomato salad, you get 11 grams of wholesome, disease-fighting fats!
You've probably already gone through the shock of learning that tomatoes are actually a fruit and not a vegetable. Well, strap in for shocker number two: avocado is also a sneaky fruit! But, if this is supposed to be a low carb avocado tomato salad, why use two vegetables that are actually fruits??
Generally, fruits aren't a big part of a keto diet or low carb lifestyle, because they contain lots of carbs in the form of sugars! But, avocado and tomato are both very low in sugar, much lower than traditional sweet fruits like bananas and apples. And, they're also both excellent sources of dietary fiber.
That's definitely a win-win for a low carb salad—meaning you get 6 grams of fiber and only 7 grams of net carbs in this avocado tomato salad! Feel free to give this keto salad a boost of fuel with a drizzle of extra-virgin olive oil!Print
½ cup heirloom or grape tomatoes, halved
½ avocado, cubed
salt, to taste
½ lime, juiced
*Per avocado tomato salad: 7g net carbs.

Drake Trashes Casino After Racists Stop Him From Gambling
AllHipHop Staff
(AllHipHop News) Rap star Drake may be one of the most well-known stars in the world but apparently, his fame made no difference when he went to a casino in Canada.
Drizzy blasted the Parq Casino in Vancouver, after he attempted to blow some cash last night.
He took to his Instagram stories and claimed he was the victim of racial profiling at the Parq.
Drake said Parq was "the worst run business I have ever witnessed...profiling me and not allowing me to gamble when I had everything they originally asked me for."
Drake additionally said the business was unprofessional and called it the "most offensive" place he has ever stayed at in his "life," claiming the staff chose who they were accommodating based on race.
The Parq probably lost out on some serious cash by turning Drake away, since he is known to gamble hundreds of thousands of dollars at a time.
In fact, this past September, the rap star gambled over $200,000 after his Aubrey & the Three Migos tour stopped in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.

ASUU strike: Union may call it off on Thursday
The Academic Staff Union of Universities, ASUU, may call off its over four-months' strike on Thursday, DailyPost has gathered.
It has been revealed that the Union's plan is to suspend the strike after the National Executive Committee of the body meets on Wednesday night to deliberate over the outcome of the congresses held in over 50 universities across the country on the new offer extended to ASUU by the Federal Government.
The Union leadership had after its meeting with the Federal Government delegation last week promised to take President Jonathan's message to all members and resolve on whether to call off the strike or not.
The ASUU leadership had since then briefed the zonal coordinators on the offer, and consequently directed the local branches to organise congress meetings between Friday last week and Tuesday (tomorrow) to deliberate on the new offer and make their final position known this week.
However, information gathered from the different Universities after their various congresses showed that the lecturers are now willing to call off the strike, even though they are unsure of government's commitment to abide by the terms of the new agreement. Some of the lecturers that spoke with DailyPost have disclosed that the strike may be suspended this Thursday.
Meanwhile, the Ibadan Zonal Coordinator of ASUU, Dr. Nasir Adesola, has confirmed that the NEC meeting has been scheduled to hold on Wednesday. However, he did not disclose whether the strike would be called off after the meeting or not.
"Yes, the NEC will hold on Wednesday evening, but ASUU has a process which we are going to follow. NEC reserves the right to call off the strike after due consultation with members and this is why congresses are being called in all the chapters of the union. Please, wait till after the congress," he disclosed.
Sources have revealed to DailyPost that most of the lecturers have argued that the strike be called off, having seen the President's commitment. They have said that the new agreement has been made public with the involvement of President Jonathan, hence the need to call off the strike. They have argued that such an agreement cannot be twisted even at the long run.

It'd be great if Super Bowl XLIX proved worthy of possibly the most hype in history, but my one fear is the highly anticipated matchup of a past dynasty vs. dynasty wannabe will somehow get deflated.
The oddsmakers tell us the New England Patriots are a 1-point favorite over the Seattle Seahawks, which strongly suggests the game won't be decided until the final possession. Judging by the Patriots' five previous Super Bowl appearances with coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady, all decided by 3 or 4 points, that's a reasonable guess.
But here's a piece of NFL history that is easily overlooked: Almost every Super Bowl pairing of No. 1 seeds like this one has been a letdown. Since the league began seeding teams in 1975, the average margin of victory in these matchups is 21.5 points. The only one decided by single digits was the San Francisco 49ers winning Super Bowl XVI over the Cincinnati Bengals, 26-21, and only a Cincinnati touchdown with 20 seconds remaining made it that close.
Even those No. 1 vs. No. 1 games that featured dueling Hall of Fame quarterbacks - be it Joe Montana vs. Dan Marino, John Elway vs. Montana or Troy Aikman vs. Jim Kelly - were total duds.
And it was only a year ago when future Hall of Famer Peyton Manning, then a 37-year-old quarterback like Brady is now, was rendered powerless by the Seahawks' defense in a 43-8 debacle. Few think that could possibly happen again, but Super Bowls have a proclivity for unpredictability.
The 2007 Patriots, 2001 St. Louis Rams, 1984 Miami Dolphins and 1983 Washington Redskins - among the highest-scoring NFL teams of all time - averaged 14.0 points in the big game and lost. Teams with a stingy defense, and the Seahawks fall into that category, have a much higher winning percentage in the Super Bowl than prolific offenses.
All that considered, it's hard to envision New England-Seattle being a clunker. This has the makings of a classic, with possibly five future Hall of Famers on each side, including two quarterbacks driven to upgrade their legacy.
Brady can stake a legitimate claim as the NFL's greatest modern era quarterback by matching Montana and Terry Bradshaw with four Super Bowl rings. He already has a record 20 playoff wins and six Super Bowl appearances. And reaching the mountaintop a decade after his last title is an accomplishment that'll be tough for any quarterback to duplicate.
At 26, Seattle's Russell Wilson has a chance to make history by leading his team to two Super Bowl wins in his first three seasons. A victory should also help put to rest this idiotic notion that he's more a game manager than a true NFL quarterback. Anybody who can flip a switch as Wilson did in the NFC Championship game - overcoming four interceptions and a 16-0 deficit to beat the Green Bay Packers - and owns a 10-0 career record against Super Bowl-winning quarterbacks has legendary potential.
But this game's appeal goes beyond Brady vs. Wilson. It's seeing whether Patriots' tight end Rob Gronkowski and receiver Julian Edelman can get separation against the Legion of Boom. A Gronkowski collision with Seattle safety Kam Chancellor has the makings of an epic highlight.
The Patriots lost their last two Super Bowls because they couldn't adequately protect Brady against the New York Giants or run the ball. Seattle excels at putting offenses in a vise grip.
Ultimately, the best Super Bowls come down to a quarterback making a play. Brady did that twice by the same age Wilson is now. That's part of what makes this matchup so intriguing.
Look for Wilson, an amazingly poised, instinctive quarterback, to pull it off in the first overtime in Super Bowl history. I like the Seahawks to repeat, 27-24.
Whatever happens, please don't let this potential classic be a blowout.

Sabrina De Vita suggested this week's prompt in her post about Dexter's daily routine. For those of you who don't know the series (which included me!) here's the first sentence from Wikipedia explaining what it's about:
Dexter is an American television drama series that centers on Dexter Morgan (Michael C. Hall), a bloodstain pattern analyst for the Miami Metro Police Department who moonlights as a serial killer.
The first video is about Dexter's morning routine:
The second is about a woman's evening routine, made in a similar vein.
How would you use these videos in your classroom? You can make any assumptions you like about the context they are used in. Post your ideas in the comments below. All ideas are welcome (there are no wrong answers!)

ROWUSD will be implementing a new visitor management system this Spring. The purchase of the equipment and software from Raptor Technologies was approved at last night's board meeting out of restricted funding. Visitors on campus must present their state-issued ID for a visitor badge to be printed. The system instantly identifies and alerts officials to sex offenders attempting to enter a school as well as any custody or other alerts on file with the district. Raptor is trusted to protect over 20,000 K-12 schools across our nation including schools in San Bernardino County.

Bakery-Style Chocolate Chip Cookies – Thick, puffy buttery cookies packed with chocolate chips. The perfect chocolate chip cookie, with crispy golden edges and a gooey center!
This post may contain affiliate links, which means that I earn a commission if you purchase through those links. These are all products I use daily and highly recommend. Thanks for the support that makes Panthers & Peonies possible!
I don't like plain things. I'm all about dessert mashups and intricate pastries and adding extra elements because my Too Much Gene likes to run out of control. But every once in a while I want a good, simple chocolate chip cookie.
I happened to see this recipe from Handle the Heat right when I was having one of those unusual cookie cravings. So I made them (at 11pm, because lol what's a normal sleep schedule) and wow I'm in love.
I made a batch, chilled them for an hour, then baked off half of the dough and left the rest in the fridge to chill for 24 hours. And both batches were super good, but the batch that chilled for longer was definitely more flavorful. I know most people don't have the time (or patience), but trust me. One of the best baking tips I can give you is to let cookie dough chill and rest before you bake it.
Chilling the dough creates the perfect cookie texture. The cookies stay tall and puffy and don't sink as soon as they come out of the oven. They get the crispy edges while staying gooey in the middle. And letting the dough chill means that it gets even more flavorful, which means that the cookies will have this rich, buttery, caramel-y flavor, which is pretty much the best thing ever.
Here's What I Used:
Bakery Style Chocolate Chip Cookies (Vegan)
- 1/2 cup vegan butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup + 2 Tbsp. brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp. flaxseed meal + 3 Tbsp. water
- 1 tsp. vanilla extract
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup vegan chocolate chips
- Mix together the flax and water and let sit until thickened, about 5-7 minutes.
- Cream together butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes.
- Add flax and vanilla and continue creaming for 2 minutes.
- Sift together the dry ingredients (flour, baking soda, salt) and add to the mixing bowl. Mix until just combined, then add the chocolate chips.
- Chill the dough for at least one hour. Once the hour is almost up, preheat oven to 350ºF.
- Scoop the cookies onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, then chill the baking sheet for 10 minutes before putting in the oven. The cookies should be chilled before baking so that they stay tall and don't spread too much.
- Bake the cookies 15-17 minutes until golden brown.

Hvar Holidays
Holidays to Hvar Town put you in a Croatian beauty spot, with traditional restaurants, age-old monuments, and a beach-filled archipelago to explore.
A model town
Hvar Town certainly has looks on its side. It's actually considered to be one of the most beautiful places in Croatia. Its gothic palaces and squares are framed in by 13th-century walls, which slope downwards to the Adriatic Sea's azure waters. See it from above with a trip to the Spanish Fortress. It's perched high on a hill overlooking the terracotta rooftops, the marina and the pine-cloaked islets that dot the shores.
Cathedrals and cafes
St Stephen's Square is at the town's centre. This long rectangular plaza was formed when an inlet was filled in and paved over. There's a cathedral with a tall bell tower at its helm, while street cafes line up either side. Wander south along the bay and you'll come to the 15th-century Franciscan Monastery – make sure you go inside to get a glimpse of the impressive Last Supper painting in the dining hall.
Island life
While Hvar Town doesn't lay claim to any beaches per se, just a hop across the water lands you on an archipelago that's full of them. Named the Pakleni Islands, these largely-uninhabited mounds are fringed by secluded sand-and-pebble coves. And that's not all they have to offer – there are museums, one of the best nightclubs around and some decent snorkelling, too.

Health and wellness tips for your work and life—presented by Integrated Benefits Group
New research suggests that nearly 6 percent of cancers (792,600 cancer cases) can be at least partly attributed to obesity and diabetes. The study, which was published online on The Lancet Diabetes & Endocrinology website, states that diabetes and a high body mass index (greater than 25) are both associated with a higher risk of certain cancers and are increasing in prevalence.
Fortunately, Type 2 diabetes and obesity can be prevented with proper lifestyle changes, which include the following:
Implementing the above prevention tips can help you remain healthy and avoid developing chronic conditions like obesity and Type 2 diabetes, which, in turn, can help lower your risk of certain cancers. For more information, please review the full-text version of the study.
The winter months are commonly associated with decreasing temperatures and increasing cases of the common cold. Typically, symptoms of the common cold come on gradually, and may start with a sore throat or irritated sinuses.
According to Healthline, when you have a cold, you're contagious approximately one to two days before symptoms start and can continue to be contagious for up to seven days after you've become sick. Unfortunately, many people can't stay home for that long of a time to fully recover. Consider the following suggestions to help avoid becoming ill or passing on a cold to a co-worker, friend or family member:
According to Telsey Advisory Group, a firm focused on evaluating the consumer market, avocado consumption in the United States has quadrupled since 2000. And, unlike many other health food crazes, avocados are actually good for you.
While it is true that avocados contain more calories and fat than other fruits or vegetables (one-fifth of an avocado contains 50 calories and 4.5 grams of fat), they also have many health benefits. Avocados contain heart-healthy unsaturated fat, which can help lower cholesterol. In addition, they are packed with vitamins, minerals and fiber that are part of a healthy diet.

One of the most sophisticated and huge construction projects in Victoria combines advanced avant-garde architectural design. Just across from Flinders Street Station, there are street performances that I like very much. There is also a tourist center nearby. Federal Plaza covers the whole inner city area. It connects the central commercial area with the rivers of Melbourne Center. It integrates various functions of art, activities, leisure, sightseeing and open-air venues. It is a unique civic gathering place and cultural activity center, which is internationally recognized. It is considered to be one of the large public squares in the world.
The Federal Square opposite the railway station is the landmark of Melbourne. It is very busy during the day and night. During the day, many people sit in the open-air Cafe drinking coffee. At night, there are various street performances on the square. There are also tourist centers on the square. On the first day, they come here and get free maps and coupons. Grandpa in charge of consultation is very enthusiastic.
Melbourne Federal Square is one of the most popular squares for tourists and local residents from all over the world. It is not only adjacent to the Mother River of Melbourne, the Yala River, but also surrounded by the old building and church, the main railway station. What attracts the most attention is the modern geometric buildings around the Federal Square. People are sitting here and enjoying the rest. ..
Federal Square is a local landmark in Melbourne, located at the intersection of Swanston Street and Flinders Street, adjacent to the Yala River, opposite Melbourne's oldest railway station, so trains and trams can reach. The Tourist Information Center is located underground in the square, where any information about Melbourne or even Australia can be obtained. The square will hold various activities from time to time, including food festivals, music festivals and so on. The public facilities in Federal Square are very convenient. There are many restaurants nearby, and there is a restaurant called taxi, which is still top 50. When you order a cup of coffee, sit on the river bank and bathe in the sunshine, it's a pleasant life.
Federal Square is built to commemorate the centenary of the establishment of the Australian Federal Government. It combines the advanced and avant-garde architectural design style. The Federal Square covers the entire inner city area, linking the central business district with the rivers in Melbourne's central area, integrating arts, activities, leisure, sightseeing and open-air venues. Street performances are also superb!
The square is not big, but the buildings are very distinctive, especially the railway station, which has been more than 100 years old.
Great place to meet friends in the city. Very much a landmark of Melbourne. Right across the road from the main station of Flinders Street Station and is culturally important as well. Lots of events are run all year round here at Federation Square. The Yarra River is also a stone throw away. For any tourists, this is a must visit all year round. Or just sit by the steps and relax and enjoy the Melbourne city skyline all around you in 360 degree view.
Federal Square is less than 500 meters from the railway station. Very recently, if you don't want to take the bus, then do the broadcasting in English introduced by city Tourbus and you can take the next sightseeing bus after each scenic spot gets off and visits. It's not crowded. This ticket is valid until 11 o'clock the next day. Arrange the time, 35 Australian dollars ticket.
There are bars, shops and restaurants. Like the Sydney Opera House, it is also selected from the works collected by the government. It is located in the center of the country and also a place for people to gather. Every year, the Australian Open is broadcast live on the big screen of Federal Square. The Abstract avant-garde surrealist style is called 21st century architecture. In fact, I have no special contact with its shape. There's a Melbourne Tourist Center there.

For reinsurance surplus, if the claim is lower than the retention limit, does the insurer still only pay (Retention Limit/EML)*claim or does the insurer pay the whole thing?
The insurer will still only pay their portion of the claim, even if the claim is smaller than the retention limit. This is because the retention limit is only used to calculate the percentage retained (\(\frac{Ret Limit}{EML}\)) after which it is the percentage which matters, not the retention limit.
