Rich pickings for HMRC? The new UK tax rules on "property-rich companies"
With effect from 6 April 2019, the scope of UK tax for non-residents has been extended to catch gains on disposals of interests in "property-rich companies".
This note considers some of the details of the new legislation, and the implications for non-residents with shares or other interests in such companies.
The new rules, in context
The new rules on "property-rich companies", discussed below, form part of a wider reform of the taxation of non-resident persons where UK real estate is concerned.
For some years now, non-residents have been exposed to tax on gains realised on disposals of residential property in the UK. However, until now, gains accruing on the disposal of commercial property have been tax-free for non-UK resident investors. This disparity has been rectified by the Finance Act 2019, which has brought the rules on the taxation of residential and commercial property gains into broad alignment.
For an overview of the property-related tax changes effected by the Finance Act 2019, see here (which considers the impact of the changes for individuals and trustees) and see here (which looks at what the changes mean for corporate and institutional investors).
The legislation does not itself refer to interests in "property-rich companies". However, this term is convenient shorthand for companies whose value is substantially derived from UK land, whose shares are, if disposed of by a non-resident, capable of giving rise to a UK tax charge on any resultant gain.
The legislation is not, in fact, confined to disposals of shares. In principle, disposals of other interests in property-rich companies, e.g. loan notes issued by such companies, can give rise to tax. However, as explained below, disposals of receivables will, in practice, often not give rise to a chargeable gain.
Calculating the liability
For the purposes of the non-resident tax charge on interests in property-rich companies, gains are (by default) calculated by treating the market value of such interests on 5 April 2019 as acquisition cost.
In other words, shares and other interests in property-rich companies are (by default) rebased for these purposes as at 5 April 2019, and there can only be a UK tax charge on a non-resident if (and to the extent that) there is an increase in value after that date.
However, this rebasing can be disapplied by election. It will be beneficial to elect out of the rebasing in the event that the actual acquisition cost of the shares or other interest in the company was greater than the 5 April 2019 market value, so that the calculation results in a loss, rather than a gain.
Where a disposal of an interest in a property-rich company does produce a gain, the applicable tax charge depends on the nature of the non-resident disponer.
Non-resident companies will pay corporation tax at the applicable rate from time to time. This is currently 19%, but the rate is expected to decrease to 17% for 2020/21.
Non-resident individuals and trustees will pay CGT at 10% / 20%. Gains taxed under the property-rich companies rules are never subject to the higher CGT rates for residential property gains (18% / 28%) even where the company's assets are or derive their value from UK residential property.
Conditions for liability
For a disposal to be caught under the new rules, there are two conditions which must be satisfied: (1) the 75% UK land condition and (2) the 25% substantial interest condition.
Subject to a targeted anti-avoidance rule (discussed below), and certain other existing anti-avoidance rules (e.g. the rule that applies to disposals by temporary non-residents) a disposal of an interest in a company by a non-resident cannot give rise to UK tax unless both of these conditions are met.
The 75% UK land condition
For an interest in a company to be capable of giving rise to a tax charge for a non-resident disponer, at least 75% of the company's assets must be, or derive their value from, UK land. Such derivation may be direct or indirect.
The 75% test is applied at the moment of the non-resident's disposal of shares or other interests in the company. In contrast to the 25% substantial interest condition, discussed below, the position throughout the two years leading up to the disposal is generally irrelevant.
An exception to this is if there is a change to the company's assets (or what they derive their value from), made before the non-resident's disposal of shares or other interests in the company, with the sole or main purpose of escaping tax under the new rules. Such a change will, it appears, be caught by the targeted anti-avoidance rule, discussed below.
Applying the 75% test is straightforward where the company directly holds UK land and/or assets that have no connection with UK land. The analysis may, however, be complex where the company holds interests in other companies which themselves hold UK land, or hold interests in yet other companies that hold such land. Within a multi-tiered corporate structure, there is a requirement to trace through all layers of the structure to determine whether, and to what extent, the company's assets derive their value from UK land.
The analysis may be complicated by the fact that for the purposes of the 75% UK land condition, a company's assets are deemed not to be derived from UK land if they derive such value from or via a "normal commercial loan". Such a loan is, very broadly, one which is not convertible to shares and under which the amount payable to the creditor is unrelated to any asset of the debtor, or the financial performance of the debtor. Most loans, therefore, are "normal commercial loans" for these purposes, even if their terms are not commercial.
As is sadly the case with much recent tax legislation, some of the statutory drafting in relation to the 75% UK land condition is deeply obscure. The rules on this condition alternate between prescriptiveness and vagueness, and are likely to give rise to considerable uncertainty in practice.
Exemptions/reliefs
There is an exemption for disposals where the underlying UK land is used for the purposes of a qualifying trade, which has been carried on for at least a year prior to the disposal, and will continue after the disposal. Where this is the case, the 75% UK land condition is deemed not to be met.
There is also a relief for the disposal of interests in multiple companies where such disposals are linked. Various conditions need to be met for the disposals to be linked, one of which is that the person making the disposals is connected with both/all companies whose shares are being disposed of.
Where this relief is in point, the assets of those companies are aggregated for the purposes of the 75% UK land condition. Unless at least 75% of the aggregated assets are, or derive their value from, UK land, none of the individual companies can qualify as property-rich companies.
This relief may prevent a taxable gain arising on the disposal of what would otherwise have been an interest in a property-rich company, if that interest is disposed of together with interests in one or more companies that, viewed in isolation, would not be considered property-rich. The relief can only work in the taxpayer's favour – if the aggregated assets of the companies in question meet the 75% test, it will still only be those companies whose assets meet the 75% test when viewed in isolation that will be treated as property-rich.
The 25% substantial interest condition
For tax to be chargeable on a gain realised on the disposal of an interest in a property-rich company, a 25% interest (or greater interest) in the company must be held at the time of the disposal, or such an interest must have been held at any time in the two years prior to the disposal.
A relief applies where a 25% interest has only been held for an "insignificant proportion" of the two year period (or an "insignificant proportion" of the period in which any interest has been held, if that is less than two years). Remarkably, "insignificant proportion" is not defined in the legislation, but HMRC have published draft guidance indicating that it will generally consider 10% of the two year period (or 10% of the ownership period, if shorter) to be "insignificant".
Various alternative tests apply to determine whether or not a person has an interest in a property-rich company and if so, what that interest is, as a percentage of the whole. One of these tests looks at the voting rights held; others look at economic interests, e.g. rights to participate in dividends and rights to capital on a liquidation. A person may have a 25% interest on one of these bases and not on others – for example, if the person has shares which confer voting rights but no economic participation. But as the tests are alternative, there only needs to be a 25% interest on one of these bases for the 25% substantial interest condition to be met.
Non-equity interests, e.g. receivables, are generally disregarded in applying the economic interest tests. Certain preference shares are also disregarded. But receivables are taken into account where they are due under loans other than "normal commercial loans". As discussed above, most loans are "normal commercial loans", even where their terms are not commercial.
Where the 25% substantial interest condition is met, there can be a tax charge on the disposal of an interest in the company even if it is not that interest which causes the condition to be satisfied. For example, if a non-resident shareholder with 25% or more of the voting rights in a property-rich company receives repayment of a receivable due from the company, or assigns the receivable, the disposal of the receivable could give rise to tax. However, existing CGT rules may mean that there is no chargeable gain on the disposal.
Aggregating factors
Importantly, where connected persons have interests in a property-rich company, the various tests for a 25% interest are applied by reference to their interests on an aggregated basis.
A disposal of shares in a property-rich company by a non-resident can therefore give rise to tax even if the disponor individually has a less than 25% interest in the company. This is so if there are connected persons who also have interests in the company, and collectively they have a 25% or greater interest (or have had such an interest at any time in the two year period leading up to the disposal).
However, for these purposes the class of connected persons that can be taken into account is more limited than is often the case. Certain relationships which in other contexts result in individuals being connected with each other do not result in connectedness here. In particular, siblings are unconnected, although an individual is treated as connected with any spouse or civil partner, and with all direct ancestors and descendants.
This means that, for example, five siblings with equal shares in a property-rich company would not meet the 25% substantial interest condition. On the other hand, five siblings and their parents with equal shares in a property-rich company would meet the condition.
In some scenarios it will be necessary to consider the interaction between the aggregation rule and the relief which applies where a 25% or greater interest has been held for an "insignificant proportion" of the two year period, or any lesser period in which interests in the property-rich company have been held. In such cases it will, it appears, be necessary to look at the aggregated interest of the disponer and connected persons over the two year period, or lesser holding period, and see whether, if the 25% test was met in that period, the period in which it was met represented 10% or less of the relevant period.
Beware of the TAAR
As now seems to be standard practice with modern tax legislation, a very widely drafted targeted anti-avoidance rule (TAAR) has been incorporated into the legislation on property-rich companies, evidently with the intention of sealing any gaps in the legislation that HMRC think might have been overlooked.
The broad wording of this TAAR is likely to make it difficult, in many cases, to say definitively whether the rule is engaged. On its terms, the TAAR applies to any arrangements entered into by the taxpayer where the main purpose, or one of the main purposes, of such arrangements was to secure a tax advantage as a result of:
any of the new provisions regarding property-rich companies applying or, conversely, not applying, or
any double taxation treaty (DTT) provisions having effect where the resultant tax advantage is contrary to the "object and purpose" of the DTT.
As is customary with TAARs which refer to tax advantages, the term "tax advantage" is extremely widely defined. It includes, inter alia, the avoidance of a charge to or assessment to tax.
In any case where arrangements are found to have had a purpose that is caught by the TAAR, "just and reasonable" adjustments are required to be made, to counteract any tax advantage so secured.
The first limb
The first limb of the TAAR seems, at first sight, to have the potential to catch planning that simply relies (it might be argued, quite reasonably), on the "safe harbours" built into the legislation.
For example, it might appear that if the non-resident shareholders in a company procure that as well as acquiring UK real estate, the company also acquires other assets, which are not UK land and do not derive their value from UK land, and one of the purposes of such other assets being held is to prevent the company from being property-rich (i.e. to ensure that the 75% UK land condition isn't met), there is scope for counteraction, potentially resulting in tax being charged on a share sale as if the company were, in fact, property-rich.
However, depending on the facts of the case, there may be scope to take the position that the TAAR does not apply to arrangements of the kind outlined above, on the basis that the purpose of securing a tax advantage is not a main purpose of the arrangements. Clearly, this view can only be taken where there are, in fact, other purposes (e.g. asset diversification), and the purpose of causing the 75% UK land condition not to be met can reasonably be regarded as subsidiary to those other purposes.
Another possible line of argument is that, despite the apparent breadth of the definition of "tax advantage", it has to be construed in light of existing case law on the meaning of "tax avoidance", in particular IRC v Willoughby. There is an argument that where arrangements are intended to ensure that a tax charge under the property-rich companies rules does not arise, that is only avoidance of a tax charge if such result is contrary to the will of Parliament. The legislative intent appears to be that there should not be a tax charge under the rules where arrangements are put in place that at all relevant times fall within the "safe harbours" of the 75% UK land condition or the 25% substantial interest condition. On this view, arrangements can be designed with these conditions in mind, and even if not satisfying one of these conditions is a main purpose of the arrangements, the TAAR should not apply.
Assuming that this is right, a last-minute change to the assets which a company holds, prior to a disposal of its shares, with the sole or main object of causing the 75% UK land condition not to be met, will be caught by the TAAR. But if the 75% UK land condition would not have been met at any time in the period in which the non-resident person has held shares in the company, it is suggested that the TAAR should not apply, even if the company's holding of non-land-related assets was influenced by the 75% test.
The second limb
Turning to the second limb of the TAAR, there is also uncertainty about when a tax advantage produced by the application of a DTT will be considered to be contrary to the "object and purpose" of the DTT.
However, the wording of the second limb has some similarity to the so-called principal purpose test in the OECD Multi-Lateral Instrument on Base Erosion and Profit-Shifting (or "MLI"). It seems likely that HMRC will treat OECD guidance on the MLI principal purpose test as being relevant here. That guidance distinguishes between tax advantages obtained under DTTs where there is a commercial / non-tax reason for arrangements that give rise to DTT relief (even if the availability of such relief was taken into account when those arrangements were devised), and tax advantages under DTTs where there is no such rationale, and the availability of DTT relief was the only motivation.
It is likely, therefore, that HMRC will invoke the second limb of the TAAR where a decision has been taken to create a holding company in a country with which the UK has a "useful" DTT (i.e. one that prevents UK tax being charged on gains realised by a resident of the other contracting state), if that was done with the sole aim of allowing the holding company to make a tax-free disposal of shares in a property-rich company. However, if there are additional, commercial / non-tax reasons for the incorporation of the company in the relevant country, the DTT relief may be unaffected by the TAAR.
Disposals by non-residents of interests in property-rich companies are subject to the same tax compliance regime as disposals by non-residents of directly held UK real estate. This means that where the disponer is an individual or trust, there is generally a requirement to report the disposal to HMRC and pay any CGT that is due within 30 days of the disposal. This reporting requirement applies even where the disposal has resulted in a loss.
Where the disponer is a company, and therefore within the scope of corporation tax on any UK real estate gain, a different regime applies. It appears that a somewhat longer period will be allowed by HMRC for submission of a corporation tax return and payment of the tax. See here.
It seems likely that in a significant proportion of cases these obligations will, understandably, be overlooked. The fact that there can be a UK tax charge for a non-UK resident person, on the disposal of a non-UK situs asset, which may derive its value from UK real estate only very indirectly via other companies or entities, and the fact that such non-UK assets may be sold or otherwise transferred without UK lawyers or other UK-based professionals being involved, is likely to result in a significant amount of involuntary non-compliance, which may never be picked up and rectified.
The pickings for HMRC from the property-rich company rules may, therefore, not be quite as rich as HMRC suppose….

A New Service Will Let You Sue Robocallers For Up To $3,000 Every Single Time They Harass You
#Robocalls
by Connor Toole February 17, 2020
I was in middle school around the time the world was introduced to text messaging, and back then, I didn't entirely grasp why anyone would bother opting for that form of communication when you could simply hop on the phone and carry out a conversation (it also didn't help that you had ten cents added onto your bill every time you sent one).
However, texting would soon become the norm, and before too long, an entire generation of students had essentially memorized the T9 system so they could communicate with each other in class without taking their phones out of their pockets while typing.
Nowadays, I basically have a heart attack whenever I get an unexpected call, as I am of the fairly firm belief that a heart attack (or some similarly serious issue) is the only thing that justifies ringing someone up without shooting them a text beforehand.
Over the past few years, I've had to deal with my pulse suddenly racing at an increased rate thanks to the rise of robocalls, which have provided me with a steady stream of anxiety thanks to the unknown numbers that have suddenly popped up on my phone in an attempt to scam me in an impressive variety of ways.
A couple of years ago, the Federal Trade Commission hit a man in Florida with a $120 million fine after he used the technology at his disposal to make close to 97 million automated calls over the course of a three-month span.
However, those made up a very small chunk of the tens of billions of unsolicited calls Americans receive on an annual basis. Last year, the FTC announced it was making a concerted effort to crack down on the practice, but based on my personal experience, the agency still has plenty of work to do.
Anyone who has their number on the national Do Not Call Registry is theoretically protected from constantly being harassed, but if that's failed to stop you from getting swamped with calls you never asked for, a new service has popped up that could allow you to get some sweet revenge on the people responsible for bugging you in the form of some cold, hard cash.
According to Gizmodo, the creators of an app called DoNotPay recently rolled out a feature dubbed "Robo Revenge," which provides users with a credit card that can be given to scammers in order to obtain information that can be used to track them down.
Thanks to the Telephone Consumer Protection Act, you're granted the right to sue someone for up to $3,000 if they're found to have violated your privacy, and Robo Revenge will provide you with the necessary legal documents to make a claim in court.
Sadly, there's basically nothing you can do if the calls in question are generated internationally, as there are currently no global regulations concerning the practice in place. However, I think we can all agree the world would be a better place if there were.

Frequently described as "freakishly tall," he once used his 6'10" frame to sneak in the NBA Draft before walking around the streets of NYC masquerading as the newest member of the Utah Jazz. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to land him a contract, so he was forced to settle for writing on the internet for a living instead. If you're mad about something he wrote, be sure that any angry tweets you send note the similarity between his last name and a popular insult, as no one has ever done that before.

Windward Orchid Society
P.O. Box 23, Kaneohe, Hawaii 96744
A Brief History
The Windward Orchid Society was informally organized in Kaneohe in 1952. The Society, however, was not actively functional until Hawaii was chosen as the site for the Second World Orchid Conference in 1957. It was then that the Society, at that time known as the Orchid Society of Windward Oahu, geared up in order to support the staging of this conference at the Honolulu Academy of Arts. The Society has been active ever since. From twenty-odd members in the 1950's, the Society has grown to some 200 members, one of the largest orchid societies in Hawaii.
In 1977, the Society was formally incorporated and registered as the Windward Orchid Society, Inc., a non-profit and non-political horticultural organization set up for the sole purpose of promoting the culture of orchids. The Society held its first orchid show in 1980. This year, the Windward Orchid Society celebrates our 30th anniversary of sponsoring orchid shows.
Windward Oahu has been considered the most desirable place to live since the days of Kamehameha I and has enjoyed an agricultural history second to none. In fact, when Kamehameha I divided the conquered lands of Oahu, he kept Kaneohe as his personal property. At various times from the mid-nineteenth century to the 1920's sugar cane, rice, pineapple, coffee and even cotton were grown commercially on Windward Oahu. Even now, remnants of ancient Hawaiian fishponds remain to remind us of the rich agricultural legacy of this land. How fitting it is, then, that this should be the home of the Windward Orchid Society.
The Orchid is considered the "King of Flowers" all over the world and has become synonymous with sub-tropical Hawaii. Once the pastime of the rich, thanks to modern science, orchid culture has become an affordable hobby for all. The Windward Orchid Society's mission is to promote orchids, disseminating information relating to the culture of orchids, and rewarding excellence and proficiency for outstanding accomplishments in this field. It continuously strives to promote universal appreciation for this most exotic of all plants.

At the same time the Freshman team is planning to upset the 20 year jinx which hangs over the yearling meet. Not since 1907 has a first year Crimson team humbled its Eli opponents, but Captain E. E. Record's men comprise the strongest yearling aggregation in many years, while the Yale team, judging by its showing in the Princeton meet, is not as good as of past years. The 1932 events, scheduled to take place five minutes before the corresponding University contests, should in several cases provide keener competition than the more experienced University teams, as Record, N. P. Hallowell '32, and G. W. Kuehn '32 have been credited with performances exceeding any by Coach Farrell's men.

The putative role of the endocannabinoid system and the effects of use in male and female sexual
functioning are summarized. The influence of intake on sexual behavior and arousability appear to
be dose-dependent in both men and women, although women are far more consistent in reporting
facilitatory effects. Furthermore, evidence from nonhuman species indicate somewhat more beneficial than
debilitating effects of cannabinoids on female sexual proceptivity and receptivity while suggesting
predominantly detrimental effects on male sexual motivation and erectile functioning. Data from human
and nonhuman species converge on the ephemeral nature of -induced testosterone decline. However, it
is clear that cannabinoid-induced inhibition of male sexual behavior is independent of concurrent declines in
testosterone levels. Investigations also reveal a suppression of gonadotropin release by cannabinoids across
various species. Historical milestones and promising future directions in the area of cannabinoid and
sexuality research are also outlined in this review.

Even though there is a lot being said and written about quinoa (pronounced as in 'kien-wah') a lot of people don't even know about its existence. And that's a shame, because it deserves in many different aspects the attention it can get.
Quinoa looks like grain, feels like grain and can be cooked as grain. Only; it is not grain!
Quinoa belongs to the seeds of the dicotyledons, while real grains (wheat, barley, corn etc.) belongs to the seeds of the monocotyledonous. To be concrete, quinoa belongs to the Amarant family, just like the crop with the same name: amaranth. Quinoa is from texture the same as vegetables as spinach and (chopped)beet.
Both quinoa as amaranth have been the most important farmer product in South America for over the past 6000 years, and the Inca's were – according to historical sources – quite familiar with it. By crossing the different species there arose seeds that were resistant to our European or the Northern American climate.
Like most superfoods, this crop grows in the most uninhibited places, under bad climate-conditions. With quinoa those places consist of mountain area's (like the Andes mountains at a height of 4000 meters) and were other plants don't even think about shooting their roots. Plants that are built to endure those low nutritional, oxygen-free and dry surroundings are naturally equipped with the needed 'balls'.
The genetic complex structure of quinoa makes it able to take a punch, and in turn can make you- as user- able to enjoy the characteristics.
Quinoa contains all the essential nutrients the human body needs. It is an excellent source of protein, calcium, vitamin B and iron which- in contradiction to other nutrients from meat, dairy and grain- are effortlessly are takin in by the body. At the digestion from grains the gluten are the most difficult to the digestion process. However, quinoa is fully gluten free.
You can also find quinoa in the form of flakes and flour, and if you want to you can also puff them (see photos at the bottom). The last one is certainly good to know if you have a gluten allergy. Quinoa flower is perfectly for baking bread and pastries and ensures a good binding in a.o.t sauces and soups, without the harmful effects that gluten can have on your body.
A little decent supermarket has quinoa in stock nowadays, normally this is the normal 'white 'version. If not: you can certainly find it at your local natural food store.
Quinoa is a very grateful ingredient to prepare and you can do a lot with it. It is suitable for breakfast, nooning, lunch, and you can even use it in desserts! A nutrient that you can use the whole day with a calm heart.

Gucci has topped the first ever BrandZ Top 30 'Most Valuable' Italian brands list, in a ranking from WPP and Kantar Millward Brown that features seven luxury brands.
The research which tracks and addresses the changing environment for brands in Italy, found that the seven leading luxury brands headed up by Gucci that topped the ranking, contributed 28.9 billion dollars to the total brand value of the ranking. The concentration of premium brands is in contrast with Spain's focus on affordable fashion and Germany's concentration on technology and engineering.
Gucci tops the ranking with a brand value of 16.3 billion dollars, followed by telecom provider brand TIM at 9.3 billion dollars and energy company Enel in third place at 7.4 billion dollars.
There were two other luxury fashion brands featured within the top 10, Prada in fifth spot with a brand value of 4 billion dollars, closely followed by Armani in tenth place with a brand value of 2.4 billion dollars. While Bottega Veneta, Bulgari, Fendi and Ferragamo made the Top 30 ranking.
Federico Capeci, chief digital officer and chief executive officer Italy, Kantar, Insights Division, added: "While Italian brands are some of the best in the world at communicating their message to consumers, there is an area in which they may improve: they are still not perceived as Innovative and Creative.
Other key highlights from the study showed that Italian brands are amongst the most 'Purposeful in Europe' and even globally, significantly outperforming brands in Spain and the UK. For Purpose, Italy is ranked 4th - outpaced only by the BrandZ Top 30 Global, USA and Germany rankings.
The study also notes the power of 'Brand Italy' as being highly regarded around the world, particularly when linked to fashion, food, and wine, it states that Italian brands that want to leverage this reputation will need to think not just about how to promote their Italian heritage, but also how to establish their authenticity.

Ray "Windmill" White (born August 5, 1938) is an American former professional boxer best known for his unorthodox punches. He fought boxers like Jimmy Dupree and Mike Quarry.

History
White fought out of Ventura, California in the 1960s and 1970s. He was a  draw in the Los Angeles area, fighting multiple times at the Olympic Auditorium and winning the California State Light Heavyweight title. The tall and lanky White, with his unusual reach advantage, invented several unorthodox punches including the behind the back punch.  His popularity led to appearances on national television shows including The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and The Merv Griffin Show. He retired in 1974 and despite a record of 41-14-5 and wins over name contenders of the era,

White currently resides in Ventura County, California and is an instructor at The Ventura KO Academy, where he helps in the training of amateur  fighters. In the summer of 2011, White will be inducted into California Boxing Hall of Fame as well as inducted to the Ventura County Hall of Fame. He was ranked the 7th most awkward fighter of all time in The Ultimate Boxing Book of Lists by Bert Randolph Sugar and Teddy Atlas.

It's new, cool (anti-establishment) and the big guys are using it! It's built for performance, reliability and scalability, and to top it off, it's free. Why shouldn't you build your application/business with it?
Unfortunately, before jumping in feet first, I think it is necessary to slow down for a minute and fully understand the advantages of a NoSQL solution along with the tradeoffs you MAY be forced to make.
First, as I stated NoSQL is increasingly being hyped as a next-generation database that fixes all the performance, scalability, and complexity problems that you might encounter when using relational databases. However, while NoSQL delivers these powerful capabilities, it does require a number of very serious compromises that can also be detrimental to a business. To obtain the high-performance and scalability, NoSQL implementations remove what some may consider to be unwanted and unnecessary functionality of the relational database. The problem is that the removal of this functionality may come at a high cost for many normal business requirements.
For example, a key premise of most NoSQL databases is to remove atomicity, consistency, isolation, durability (ACID) in favor of Basically Available data with Soft state that becomes Eventually consistent (BASE). This essentially means that when you ask a question if you wait long enough you will eventually get a complete and accurate answer, but in the (quick) meantime you may get results that are only partially correct. This may be acceptable when related to a 140 character Tweet, but certainly is unacceptable when related to a series of ATM transactions.
Another example relates to aggregates. Some NoSQL implementations offer limited ability to perform SUM(), MAX(), AVG(), or GROUP BY operations. NoSQL implementations are architected to provide highly efficient CRUD operations against objects, documents, or graphs. This makes normal day-to-day operations very scalable for end users of highly specialized applications. But if management suddenly requests the total number of orders placed by customers referred by partners in Colorado to evaluate tax liability, NoSQL may not be able to easily provide the answer.
There are obviously many advantages to using a NoSQL solution, otherwise the big players wouldn't have spent the time, effort and resources on developing the specialized solutions they felt they needed to solve their problems. However, as someone who is extremely experienced with database design and performance issues I also know that there are many poorly designed databases in applications and conversely numerous ways to improve the performance of those databases. Therefore, I think it is important to look at the big picture and fully understand the applications that NoSQL and SQL databases are best suited for and use each as just one tool in your toolbox. Therefore, when it is time to build your application, you want to reach into that toolbox to grab the best tool for the job, not merely NoSQL because it is new and cool or, for that matter, SQL, because that is what you have always been using. Having said that, you also have to understand your application and that the current flavors of NoSQL databases are designed to solve specialized extremely large data issues and are not a one size fits all solution. Finally, I also know that it is fairly easy to obtain great performance from relational databases and unless you collect massive data like Google and Facebook, a relational database may still be your best choice.

Die Kirche St. Adelheid im Kölner Stadtteil Neubrück ist eine römisch-katholische Kirche im Erzbistum Köln. Sie ist Teil des katholischen Pfarreienverbandes Roncalli am Heumarer Dreieck.
Die der hl. Adelheid von Vilich geweihte Kirche entstand 1968/69 nach Plänen von Paul Georg Hopmann.

Lage und Umgebung
Die Kirche liegt am Marktplatz des Stadtteils Neubrück im Osten der Stadt Köln. Sie ist die einzige katholische Kirche im Stadtteil. Die Kirche ist Zentrum eines Gebäudekomplexes, der aus dem Pastoralbüro, dem Jugend- und Pfarrheim, dem katholischen Kindergarten und Wohnungen für Pfarrer und Angestellte der Kirche besteht.

Geschichte
Mit Gründung der Konrad-Adenauer-Siedlung entstand eine katholische Gemeinde, die einer eigenen Pfarrei bedurfte. Nach der Heiligsprechung der hl. Adelheid von Vilich durch Papst Paul VI. schlug der Kölner Erzbischof Kardinal Frings vor, die neue Pfarrei unter das Patronat der hl. Adelheid zu stellen. Im März 1968 wurde mit dem Bau der neuen Pfarrkirche begonnen, am 15. Juni 1968 erhob der Erzbischof die Gemeinde zur selbstständigen Pfarrei. Sie wurde gebildet aus Teilen der Pfarreien St. Gereon Köln-Merheim, St. Hubertus Köln-Brück und St. Servatius Köln-Ostheim. Bis zur Weihe der heutigen Kirche fanden die Gottesdienste der jungen Gemeinde in einer Baracke statt, die durch die Einstellung des Hubschrauberverkehrs Köln-Brüssel frei geworden war.

Der Grundstein für die heutige Kirche legte Domkapitular Prälat Peter Lewen am 23. Juni 1968. Im Oktober 1969 weihte der Kölner Erzbischof Joseph Kardinal Frings die neue Kirche und den umliegenden Gebäudekomplex. In einem festlichen Gottesdienst wurde 1970 die erste Glocke eines fünfstimmig geplanten Geläuts geweiht. In den 1970er Jahren erhielt die Kirche ihre heutige innere Gestalt. Unter Anderem wurde der Tabernakel vollendet und die Werktagskirche eingerichtet, die sich im Norden an die Außenwand der Kirche anschließt und durch einen von beiden Seiten zugänglichen Tabernakel mit der Kirche verbunden ist.

Architektur und Ausstattung
Im Altar der Kirche, der das Zentrum des rechteckigen Gebäudes darstellt, sind Reliquien der Märtyrer von Uganda eingelassen. Hinter dem Altar an der Nordwand der Kirche hängt ein großes Kreuz mit Corpus, links daneben befindet sich eine steinerne Stele mit einer Darstellung Christi als König von 1970.

Im Rundgang befindet sich ein Kreuzweg von Pater Rudolf Fritz.

Orgel
Im Jahr 1980 konnte eine Orgel angeschafft werden. Sie stammt aus der Kirche St. Thomas in Stenden, Gemeinde Kerken, Kreis Kleve. Mit der Umsetzung und Erweiterung wurde die Werkstatt Wilbrand aus Übach-Palenberg beauftragt. Anfang der 2000er Jahre wurde eine gründliche Ausreinigung und Überholung  unumgänglich. Diese Arbeiten wurden von der Firma Orgelbau Schulte aus Kürten durchgeführt. Am 3. Juli 2005 wurde die erneuerte Orgel nochmals geweiht. Das Instrument hat 22 Register auf zwei Manualen und Pedal.

Glocken
Das Geläut von St. Adelheid besteht aus drei Bronzeglocken, die 1970 (Gocke 2) und 1973 von Hans Hüesker in der Gießerei Petit & Gebr. Edelbrock aus Gescher gegossen wurden.

Introducing the sweet seven, (now one) residences at davis353.
Our final seven residences to hit the market are indeed, one of a kind. Be sure to book an appointment today for a private tour while we add the finishing touches.
That plus sign? That means you've got two bedrooms and a study (room for a crib, extra storage space, playroom, you name it). This west-facing unit is drenched in afternoon and sunset light. A large and lovely living and dining space = couch-time snuggles and family meals at the table. Davis353 makes it easy to wrap your head around raising kids in the city—in one of the most desirable squares in the nation, no less.
Sleep by day. By night, you do you. This north-facing unit stays shady and quiet. Both bedrooms and bathrooms are off either side of the living area, giving this place a double-suite feel (read: roommate-ready), and an extra-large laundry room means more space to store your stuff.
It's way easier to start where you are when you love where you are. Your place is your space, and it should be inspiring. That bonus room? You need that extra room to breathe since all you do is work. This unit's got that sought-after south-side exposure, too. Your startup's starting out right, at Davis353.
"Alexa, order me a pizza." (It's going to be another long night of coding.) This east-facing corner unit has a balcony for when it's time to tear yourself away from your triple-monitor setup and get some fresh O2 and a little Vitamin D. And two bedrooms means space for all your gadgets.
Gather your people and show them you're the host with the most. Get creative with the open floor plan and expansive living and dining space—the clean, modern features and finish details make this progressive pad the ideal place for your palette. While you're pouring glasses of Chianti and pressing PLAY on some Elton John circa 1972, tell your guests the story of the original Davis353 art on your walls.
This penthouse corner unit is an epicurist's dream. The ultramodern kitchen has top-of-the-line appliances, a wine cooler and a colossal island so you can do your thing (with the help of that new cutlery set we got you). Plant roots at Davis353 and grow your own produce and herbs in the window box garden setup.
It's time you graduated to penthouse-level professor with floor-to ceiling bookcases. Davis353 makes that possible with a bonus room, aka your divine den. Let's face it, you're grading papers well into the evening hours, and you need your space to come through for you.

Robots, androids, and bionic people pervade popular culture, from classics like Frankenstein and R.U.R. to modern tales such as The Six Million Dollar Man, The Terminator, and A.I. Our fascination is obvious – and the technology is quickly moving from books and films to real life.


As a School we believe that a clear dress code can promote a sense of pride and belonging. Harington is an academic sixth form preparing students to ultimately work in a professional environment. Therefore, the principles are straightforward: all students should wear clothes which would be acceptable in a traditional, conventional office-based environment in the UK. The code expects everyone to avoid extremes of fashion. Students should not wear items of clothing, for example something short, revealing or tight, that would not be appropriate in a professional workplace.
The dress code applies for students when travelling to and from school. It is designed to be both formal and comfortable and is designed to allow a choice of outfits within the boundaries of professional business dress and also to protect students from the pressure of feeling the need to compete with others in terms of fashion. If there are any problems, please do contact the Pastoral Lead at the School.
The overall impression should be that of a professional individual who takes pride in their appearance.
