Shaking the hands of attendees at the launch of the Royal Academy of Engineering's Taylor Centre was Marty: a 3D-printed, wide-eyed robot with some seriously expressive eyebrows. He was designed by Robotical founder Dr Alexander Enoch to encourage kids to customise and program their own robot to do certain tasks, like kicking a ball or busting out some dance moves. And Marty the robot was just one of the innovations on display at the Academy's new innovation hub, which opened its doors on Thursday.
The Taylor Centre will give entrepreneurs from across the country a place in central London where they can network, hold meetings, court investors and base themselves while in the city. It's part of the Academy's Enterprise Hub initiative, which helps members develop great ideas at various stages of development and get them market-ready through one-to-one mentorships.
Also showing off their innovations last night were Dr Sam Chapman, whose business Kenoteq has engineered a brick that's made from 90% recycled material, and Michael Geissler, CEO of Mo-Sys, a company that develops advanced sensors that help make VR and AR experiences even more immersive.
The Enterprise Hub has already helped 61 members launch their businesses. With a new venue right smack in the centre of London, here's hoping we see plenty more.

Theatermania Review
By David Gordon
At the Crossroads: Music for Faust
In 1926, the expressionist director F.R. Murnau released his version of Goethe's Faust. Owing to elaborate special effects and the use of multiple cameras for various angles, it became the most expensive movie to date. Costing 2 million marks, it earned back only half its budget, becoming a major flop.
Yet, as many flops do, they retain some historical interest, and Faust became a minor sensation in the annals of cinema, primarily for its mise-en-scène. It also upped the ante in terms of special-effects techniques — perhaps the most memorable of which is the image of the devil Mephisto enveloping a whole town.
Now audiences can get a fresh look at Faust. Ben Singer, the founder of Modern Robot, a company that screens classic movies with live musical accompaniment, has composed the score for At the Crossroads: Music for Faust, a 50-minute cut of the film backed up by Singer on guitar and Spencer Cohen on drums.
Rather than play the original score (written by the prolific and uncredited William Axt), this version features a whole new catalogue of contemporary indie rock tunes penned by Singer. The result is a largely mesmerizing experience, one that gives audience members a new appreciation for the power of music and its ability to set a mood. Cohen's driving drums and Singer's slide guitar match the bold visuals of the film as the music lurks ominously under the already haunting imagery.
Evoking the orchestral concerts of Lord of the Rings and Harry Potter, perhaps At the Crossroads: Music for Faust isn't the best entry for a primarily theater-driven festival. But it is its own kind of stage art, one geared toward cinephiles, for whom this is an ideal way to experience a little-known classic.

Prof. Thomas Brückel will be the new Director of the MLZ, taking over from Prof. Dieter Richter.
At the end of March, Prof. Dieter Richter of the Research Centre Jülich not only retires, but also passes his position as Heinz Maier-Leibnitz Zentrum (MLZ) Director to Prof. Thomas Brückel. Officially, however, Prof. Brückel has already taken the job as MLZ director at the beginning of this year.
Prof. Thomas Brückel originates from Württemberg and studied physics in Tübingen. He discovered his enthusiasm for neutrons early on, before his doctoral thesis, which he did partly at Hahn-Meitner Institute (now Helmholtz Zentrum Berlin) and partly at the Institut Laue-Langevin. After completing his thesis, he returned to Grenoble. Brückel discovered the world of synchrotron radiation during his time at the German Electron Synchrotron DESY Hamburg. In 1997 he was appointed as director of the Institute for Solid State Research in Jülich, and in 2006 he took over the job as director of the Jülich Centre for Neutron Science (JCNS). Since 2011 he is also director of the Peter Grünberg Institute, which is dedicated to basic research in the field of new physical concepts and materials in information technology and related fields. Brückel's interest as a physicist is targeted to magnetic nanostructures, quantum phenomena in solids and scattering methods.
The MLZ is a member of the NMI3 consortium.
Scientists use neutrons to shed light on the reduction of H2O2 to water by CcP, concluding that the process which is focus of a long-standing and highly contentious question need to be reassessed. Read more.
NMI3 collaboration works on simulations to find the best possible guide for experiments at low temperatures and high magnetic fields. Read more.

Home > IoT > TCP/IP Vulnerabilities Threaten IoT Devices
TCP/IP Vulnerabilities Threaten IoT Devices
Forescout has just disclosed the existence of a set of TCP / IP vulnerabilities in FreeBSD and three other operating systems designed for IoT: Nucleus NET, IPNet, and NetX. That's a total of nine vulnerabilities that could potentially affect 100 million IoT devices.
Security researchers at Forescout are calling these vulnerabilities "NAME: WRECK" because of the way they affect the Domain Name System (DNS) protocol. The name comes from the fact that domain name parsing can break (i.e., "destroy") DNS implementations in TCP / IP.
According to the Forescout researchers, they are associated with the way DNS protocols are executed and can pave the way for Denial of Service (DoS) attacks or remote code execution. As a result, potential attackers can cause target systems to shut down or take control of them.
Remember that DNS is a complex protocol that tends to generate vulnerable implementations, and these vulnerabilities can often be leveraged by outside attackers to take control of millions of devices simultaneously.
Specifically, the report offers a closer look at the "message compression" scheme used in the DNS protocol that "eliminates the repetition of domain names in a message" with the intention of reducing the size of messages.
According to Forescout, the health and government industries are the most affected when we consider the FreeBSD, Nucleus NET, and NetX stacks. In this group alone and conservatively assuming that only 1% of the more than 10 billion deployments are vulnerable, Forescout estimates that at least 100 million devices have been affected by the NAME:WRECK vulnerabilities.
Protecting against NAME:WRECK failures require patches to be installed on devices using the vulnerable versions of TCP/IP stacks. Forescout points out these four stacks have recently been corrected and that the respective suppliers of types of equipment using them are expected to provide their own updates as well.
With the exception of IPnet, patches have already been released for FreeBSD, Nucleus NET, and NetX, requiring vendors to ship updated firmware to their customers.
However, installing patches cannot always be put into practice – for example, when IoT devices are installed in hard-to-reach places. In these cases, Forescout suggests adopting mitigation measures. The first step is identifying which devices are using the vulnerable TCP/IP stacks. Forescout itself released an open source script that detects such devices. The next step is imposing segmentation controls to mitigate risks and restricting external communication routes or, if possible, isolating vulnerable devices until they can be fixed with patches. Another measure is configuring vulnerable devices to rely only on internal DNS servers whenever possible and closely monitoring external DNS traffic since potential intrusions depend on malicious DNS servers. And, finally, monitoring network traffic for packets trying to exploit these vulnerabilities.
Procedures similar to those used by NAME:WRECK cannot be ruled out for any other TCP/IP stack that has not yet been analyzed. Researchers have yet to find evidence that attackers are actively exploiting these vulnerabilities.
NOME: WRECK is the third report by PROJECT: MEMORIA which was launched in 2020 by Forescout to identify TCP/IP stack vulnerabilities. The previous issues are AMNESIA: 33 and NUMBER: JACK.
The positive in the findings is that there are mitigations that make it easier to detect attempts to use these flaws.
For starters, Forescout has released an open source script to detect devices running the affected stacks. In addition, the researchers also recommend enforcing network segmentation controls until the patches are in place and monitoring all network traffic for malicious packets that try to exploit the flaws by targeting DNS, mDNS, and DHCP clients.

The Count of Monte Cristo (French: Le Comte de Monte-Cristo) is an adventure novel by Alexandre Dumas, père. It is often considered, along with The Three Musketeers, as Dumas's most popular work. The writing of the work was completed in 1844.
The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes is a collection of twelve stories by Arthur Conan Doyle, featuring his famous detective.
What really killed Sir Charles Baskerville? Is his nephew, Sir Henry, in danger from the legendary family curse, a gigantic black hound? Sherlock Holmes and Dr. Watson are on the case in this classic mystery, set on lonely Dartmoor in Devonshire.
The Valley of Fear
Doyle's final novel featuring the beloved sleuth, Sherlock Holmes, brings the detective and his friend to a country manor where they are preceded by either a murder or a suicide.
A Study in Scarlet, a short novel published in 1887, was Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's first Sherlock Holmes story. At the beginning of the book, Dr. Watson meets the detective for the first time and we ride along with them to the scene of a murder.
Sherlock Holmes, a fictional character of the late 19th and early 20th century created by Scottish author and physician Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, is a brilliant London-based "consulting detective" famous for his intellectual prowess and renowned for his enormous scope of observation, his astute logical reasoning and forensic science skills in solving difficult crimes.
Having left Sherlock Holmes apparently deceased at the conclusion of The Final Problem (in The Memoirs of Sherlock Holmes), we now find that he is alive after all!
The Sign of the Four
When a young lady approaches Sherlock Holmes looking for help in finding out what happened to her father when he disappeared 10 years earlier.
His Last Bow
In this collection of Sherlock Holmes stories, the great detective continues doing what he does best…

What if you enjoy Steam games as AR? -In ben
June 16, 2022 Kat YaresLeave a comment
China's hardware manufacturer Neal will support some steam games with its own AR glass. If you run a steam game with AR glass, you can enjoy the game on a wider screen than using an expensive ultra-wide monitor.
In the late June, Enreal announced that it will release the beta version of Nebula, an AR glass-only application, on Steam. When the app is released, you will be able to play the steam game on the 200-inch HD screen anytime, anywhere by utilizing Enreal Light and Neal Air.
Instead of a monitor, the screen of the PC game will be streamed through AR glass, and in the early stages of the beta, only a few of the steam games will support the function. It is now known that the Halo series and The Trally will be included in the support title, and no information on which steam games will support this function.
The sunglasses-type AR glass 'Enreal Light', which can be a rather unfamiliar name for domestic users, was first released in the United States in November 2021. The weight is only 106g, and it has a 52 degree viewing angle, which is relatively wide as a glasses-type device. At the time, the US launch price was set at $ 599.
'Enreal Air' is a new AR glass, which was released as a follow-up following the Enreate Light, and was first released in the UK and the Japanese market in March. It has 3DOF tracking, micro OLED screens, 1080p resolution, and 46 degree viewing angle, and features a clear screen from a maximum of 6 meters from a distance of about 6 meters. The price was set at 39,800 yen (about 380,000 won), which is a little cheaper than the enrolled light. The price is provided by the Japanese telecommunications company, Tokomo Shop, and can be purchased at 399 pounds in the UK.
On the other hand, Enreal will be held for a month from 27th to July 27th. The apps developed using NRSDK, an app development kit provided by Enrings, are the conditions for participation, and the category is available in various fields from home fitness to art, game, porting, social and NFT. The total prize money is $ 100,000 (about 130 million won), and the winning works will be paid $ 10,000.

Listening to Wampanoag Voices: Beyond 1620
"In 2020, the year that marks four centuries since the voyage of the Mayflower, the anniversary is being commemorated internationally for establishing the first colony that would be the foothold of New England. But a point too often lost or undersold is that colonization does not occur without people being colonized, subjugated, oppressed, even killed to accommodate the colonizer. Colonization happened to, not for, the Wampanoag.
But we have endured.
In this online exhibit, the Peabody Museum is giving us the opportunity to illustrate that point by lending contemporary Wampanoag voices to objects that were made, held, worn, consumed and otherwise made useful by our ancestors generations, if not centuries ago. These words attest to the significance of the objects and our continued relevance to them.
We are still here to acknowledge them, learn from them, talk about them, and give gratitude to the creator for them."
—Paula Peters (Mashpee Wampanoag)
Four hundred years have passed since the Wampanoag Nation encountered English immigrants who settled on the shores of their land at Patuxet—now called Plymouth. Harvard University has had a relationship with the Wampanoag and other local tribal communities for nearly as long, establishing the Indian College on the Harvard campus in 1655. In 1650, the charter of Harvard College dedicated the institution to the education of Native American and English students to become Puritan ministers; in 1655, the Indian College was built on Harvard's campus to house students and to achieve those goals. Wampanoag tribal member, Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck, Class of 1665, was the first Native American to graduate from Harvard College.
In acknowledgment of this early history, the Peabody Museum has asked Wampanoag tribal members to reflect on collections spanning the seventeenth to twentieth centuries and stewarded by the Peabody Museum. Listen in as they share memories, thoughts, and reflections about collection items made by their ancestors and relatives and learn how Wampanoag life and culture continues to flourish today. Listen to the HMSC Connects! Podcast episode entitled Wampanoag Perspectives.

Štěpán Zavřel was born in Prague in 1932. The foundation and the exhibition are dedicated to him, because it was in Sàrmede that in 1999 he came to the end of a life interwoven with art, hope, suffering and rebirth.
In Prague, a young Zavřel studied at the Faculty of Cinematography, specialising in animated films. In 1959 he left his country and after an adventurous escape he arrived in Italy, where he found shelter in a refugee camp in Trieste. He studied painting at the Academy of Fine Arts in Rome and later moved to Germany, where he continued his studies in scenography and theatre costume at the Kunstakademie in Munich. After that he moved to London, where from 1965 to 1968 he was the director of the animated film section at the Richard Williams Studio.
It was in 1968 that he found his ideal environment in Rugolo (Sàrmede). There he bought an abandoned farmhouse where he settled permanently; today it is a private cottage, entirely covered in frescos painted by the artist himself. His presence was a catalyst that established a creative network of artists coming from all over Central Europe and beyond.
Through the years Zavřel displayed his work in galleries and museums across the world: Norway, Switzerland, South Africa, Germany, the United States, Central America and Spain. In 1982 the Met (Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York) hosted an exhibition with his works, on the theme Venice tomorrow.
In 1983 he encouraged the creation of the International Children's Book Illustration Exhibition (known today as Le immagini della fantasia). In 1988 the International School of Illustration was also set up.
Thanks to Štěpán Zavřel this small village in the hills near Treviso, with only 3,000 inhabitants, became a "fairy-tale land". Zavřel himself, together with other great artists from all over the world, decorated many of the town's houses and public buildings with almost 50 frescos. Today, about 80 of his most significant works are displayed in the Zavřel Museum.

So, I am going in for my FET transfer today at 12:00.
My lining reached just over 8mm last week.
Nervous about this one as it's our second try so feeling a lot more cautious this time!
Hi Hannah, fairly straightforward. My bladder was bursting so embarrassing as I was waiting for at least a hour! I don't remember being that uncomfortable the first time.
Anyway they said my blasts thawed well and were starting to move to next stage of development so quality is good. Now we need to see if they stick as this seems to be my main issue.
Best of luck, there's a few of us! Feel so nervous about it this time. All the hard work is done, now embie needs to do the rest... good luck to you!!!
Wishing you oodles of luck! I had my first FET yesterday so I'm with you in the 2week club.
Great news! There's a few of us around the same time it seems! Best of luck on your wait and let's keep in touch!


Did you know that the average American moves around 12 times throughout their lives? Since moving is such a hectic and stressful experience, creating the smoothest move possible — especially on the big day — is crucial to your peace of mind. Relying on a moving company is the best way to start; you've got so many other things to consider (like switching off your utilities, packing the entire contents of your home and life, and cleaning until your arms fall off), so leaving the actual work to experienced movers is simply the smarter choice. Preparing for the final day is a great way to ensure that the final leg of this undoubtedly long race to your new home will be as smooth and pain-free as possible: let's take a look at three ways to get ready.
Reserve the elevator: If you live in an apartment building or high-rise condo, make sure to discuss the date and time you'll be moving out with your landlord in advance. The moving process is already a lengthy one; the last thing you want is to have to wait for other tenants and visitors to ride the elevator because you forgot to reserve it. Most rental buildings have no problem giving you exclusive access, permitting you've asked far enough ahead of time.
Salt the paths: Though most people choose to move in the sweltering heat of the summer, leases aren't uniform. If you're moving in the winter months, you can help your movers out by salting any paths and driveways they'll be using before they arrive. This ensures the safety of everybody involved, particularly furniture movers who are hefting large pieces around, and can keep the day moving at a reasonable speed.
Organize: By keeping boxes together based on which room they contain, you can streamline the unpacking portion of your moving venture. Movers tend to work methodically, so if you have all of your living room boxes tucked together, they'll be loaded and unloaded in the same way. Furniture movers, however, will pack things based on size and shape (but furniture is easier to recognize, so that's not so bad).
By working together with your movers, you can guarantee a stress-free moving day. Simply follow the above tips and watch as everything works out the way it should.

Subaru is jumping back on the 7-seat SUV bandwagon and will soon unveil its new Subaru Ascent large SUV. The Japanese company has just sent out a teaser onto social media to confirm.
Subaru used Twitter to send out a preview of the new Ascent, showing the badge at the rear. This doesn't give us much to get excited about but there is confirmation Subaru will unveil the new model at the LA auto show at the end of the month.
The company first pitched the idea of a 7-seat SUV last year with the Viziv-7 concept vehicle. It was a large, chunky SUV that looked easily big enough to accommodate three rows of seats.
While some of the concept's design flourishes aren't likely to carry over for the production model, the general proportions and design theme is. Subaru will likely fit its latest C-shaped headlight design and elongated taillights, and the carved-look wheel arches and hexagonal grille will probably be interpreted into the production version.
As for the powertrain, Subaru could use its existing 3.6-litre flat-six engine that currently churns out 191kW and 350Nm, in the case of the Liberty and Outback 3.6R. However, there has been rumours Subaru will introduce an all-new turbocharged unit for the Ascent as well.
We'll have to wait until the end of the month to find out more. The LA auto show starts on November 28.

Ebbe Sand (* 19. Juli 1972 in Aalborg) ist ein ehemaliger dänischer Fußballspieler. Er spielte unter anderem von 1999 bis 2006 in Deutschland beim FC Schalke 04 als Stürmer mit der Rückennummer 11. Er ist nach Klaus Fischer und Klaas-Jan Huntelaar drittbester Bundesligatorschütze der Schalker.

Von 1998 bis 2004 lief Sand in 66 Partien für die dänische Nationalmannschaft auf und erzielte 22 Tore; mit der Nationalmannschaft nahm er an jeweils zwei Welt- und Europameisterschaften teil.

Seit Januar 2020 ist er im Trainerteam der dänischen Nationalmannschaft angestellt.

Vereinskarriere
Sand wechselte in der Saison 1992/93 von Hadsund BK zum dänischen Spitzenklub Brøndby IF. Mit Brøndby konnte er drei dänische Meisterschaften und zwei nationale Pokalsiege feiern. In der Saison 1997/1998 wurde er mit 28 Toren dänischer Torschützenkönig. Beim 4:1-Sieg seiner Mannschaft bei Vejle BK erzielte er in der neuen Rekordzeit von nur vier Minuten einen echten Hattrick; auch das vierte Tor von Brøndby ging auf sein Konto. Allmählich zog er das Interesse vieler Vereine aus ganz Europa auf sich.

In der Saison 1999/2000 wechselte Sand für eine Ablösesumme von 10 Millionen DM zum FC Schalke 04. Sein Debüt für die "Königsblauen" gab er am 9. August 1999, als er in der 2. Runde des DFB-Pokals gegen den 1. FC Saarbrücken in der Startelf aufgeboten wurde und den 1:0-Siegtreffer erzielte. In der Folgezeit entwickelte er sich wegen seines hohen Einsatzes und Siegeswillens, der Verbundenheit zu seinem Verein und seiner Fairness gegenüber Gegenspielern binnen kürzester Zeit zum Publikumsliebling. In seinen sieben Jahren beim FC Schalke 04 wurde Sand nie vom Platz gestellt.

Insbesondere in der Saison 2000/01 bildete er mit seinem Mitspieler Emile Mpenza ein sehr erfolgreiches Sturmduo, das weit über die deutschen Grenzen bekannt wurde. Sand erzielte 22 Treffer, Mpenza gelangen weitere 13. Am Ende der Saison verlor Schalke in letzter Sekunde die deutsche Meisterschaft an den FC Bayern München. Sand äußerte in diversen Interviews, dass ihn diese Niederlage bis heute ärgere. Auch in den nachfolgenden Jahren gelang es ihm nicht, den deutschen Meistertitel zu gewinnen und auf diese Weise sein größtes sportliches Ziel zu verwirklichen. Sand holte mit seiner Mannschaft jedoch zweimal den DFB-Pokal.

In der Saison 2004/2005 erkrankte Sand an einer Hirnhautentzündung, die ihn lange außer Gefecht setzte. Dadurch verlor er seinen Stammplatz an jüngere Spieler, Sand musste häufiger auf der Ersatzbank Platz nehmen. Trotzdem wählte ihn die Mannschaft ein Jahr später als Nachfolger von Frank Rost zum Mannschaftskapitän.

Am 21. Juli 2005 wurde bekannt, dass Ebbe Sand 2006 den FC Schalke 04 verlässt und nach Dänemark zurückkehrt, wo er bei Silkeborg IF einen Posten übernehmen soll. Am 22. Dezember 2005 wurde verkündet, dass Ebbe Sand im Sommer 2006 bei Silkeborg IF den Posten des Talentchefs übernehme, was auch die Bekanntgabe seines Karriereendes war. Grund für sein Karriereende war für Ebbe Sand auch die Einschulung seines älteren Sohnes in Dänemark.

Auch international war Sand sehr erfolgreich und konnte zehn Tore in der Champions League und im UEFA-Pokal erzielen. Durch seine wachsende Bekanntheit bot sich ihm die Möglichkeit, in andere internationale Ligen zu prominenteren Vereinen zu wechseln. Sand verlängerte jedoch bis zu seinem Karriereende den Vertrag beim FC Schalke 04.

Sand absolvierte bei Schalke 04 insgesamt 214 Bundesliga-Spiele und erzielte dabei 73 Treffer. Er wurde in 31 Europapokal-Spielen eingesetzt und war dabei zehnmal erfolgreich. Im DFB-Pokal erreichte er die hervorragende Quote von 18 Treffern in 25 Spielen.

Am 13. Mai 2006 bestritt er sein letztes Bundesligaspiel für den FC Schalke 04 und zugleich das letzte Spiel seiner Karriere. Im Spiel gegen den VfB Stuttgart schoss er ein Tor und bereitete ein weiteres für den ebenfalls scheidenden Tomasz Waldoch vor. Über 61.000 Zuschauer verabschiedeten Sand am 23. Juli 2006 in der Veltins-Arena in Gelsenkirchen beim Spiel der "Meister der Herzen" (Team der Saison 2000/01) gegen den aktuellen Bundesliga-Kader des FC Schalke 04. Sand gelang hierbei der zwischenzeitliche Ausgleich zum 1:1 (Endergebnis 2:5). Schalker Idole wie Olaf Thon, Ingo Anderbrügge, Radoslav Látal, Youri Mulder oder Marc Wilmots liefen dabei auf Seiten des Teams der "Meister der Herzen" auf. Als Abschiedsgeschenk wurde Ebbe Sand ein Replikat der Meisterschale überreicht.

Statistik:

Nationalmannschaftskarriere
In der dänischen Nationalmannschaft kam Sand 66-mal zum Einsatz, dort gelangen ihm 22 Tore. Bei der WM 1998 in Frankreich schoss er das schnellste Tor nach einer Einwechslung nach 16 Sekunden. Er nahm an den Weltmeisterschaften 1998 in Frankreich und 2002 in Japan und Südkorea sowie an den Europameisterschaften 2000 in den Niederlanden und Belgien und 2004 in Portugal teil. Nach dem Ausscheiden der dänischen Mannschaft bei der EM 2004 trat Sand aus der Nationalmannschaft zurück.

Nach der aktiven Karriere

Karriere als Funktionär
Nach Beendigung seiner Karriere als Fußballprofi trat Sand eine Stelle im Management von Silkeborg IF an. Er war dort vor allem als Talentscout tätig. Im Sommer 2015 bildete Sand gemeinsam mit Michael Büskens und Huub Stevens den neu eingerichteten sportlichen Beirat des Schalker Aufsichtsrates.

Zum Jahreswechsel 2018/19 wurde Sand Sportdirektor seines ehemaligen Vereins Brøndby IF. Im Februar 2019 entließ er Trainer Alexander Zorniger, nachdem Brøndby IF nach einer Niederlage bei Esbjerg fB mit 22 Punktem Rückstand auf den Tabellenführer und Erzrivalen FC Kopenhagen auf Platz vier lag. Im Endeffekt qualifizierte sich Brøndby IF für die zweite Qualifikationsrunde zur UEFA Europa League. Im Juli 2019 trat Ebbe Sand infolge organisatorischer Veränderungen von seinem Posten zurück.

Karriere als Trainer
Ab Oktober 2006 war der Däne neben seinem Amt als Sportdirektor bei Silkeborg IF auch als Co-Trainer von Peter Knudsen für den Verein aktiv. Im Oktober 2007 verließ Sand Silkeborg und war von 2008 bis 2014 als Stürmertrainer Teil des Trainerstabes der dänischen Nationalmannschaft.

Anfang 2020 kehrte Sand zum dänischen Verband zurück und wurde Assistent von Nationaltrainer Åge Hareide.

Privatleben
Sand schloss neben seiner Karriere als Profifußballer bei Brøndby IF sein Studium des Bauingenieurwesens ab. Er betonte immer wieder, dass ihm zumindest in der Anfangszeit seiner Karriere ein weiteres Standbein sehr wichtig gewesen sei.

Kurz vor der Weltmeisterschaft im Sommer 1998 in Frankreich diagnostizierten Ärzte bei Sand Hodenkrebs. Dennoch entschied er sich, die Operation aufzuschieben und bei der Weltmeisterschaft anzutreten. Hier gelang ihm gegen Nigeria mit einem Tor nach nur 16 Sekunden das schnellste Tor des Turniers. Die spätere Behandlung gegen seine Krebserkrankung verlief erfolgreich.

Sand ist verheiratet und Vater zweier Söhne. Beide begleiteten ihn nach seinem Abschiedsspiel bei seiner Ehrenrunde über das Spielfeld. Sein Zwillingsbruder Peter war ebenfalls im Profifußball aktiv.

Von 2014 bis zur Annahme der Stelle als Sportdirektor von Brøndby IF Anfang 2019 lebte Ebbe Sand in Dubai. Seit 2015 leitet er die Ebbe Sand Soccer Academy Shanghai.

Thousand Oaks Gymnasium near Barry, Texas. — The hanging acoustic panels combat the noise in the gymnasium.
Sound reverberates in all spaces except outer space. Sound waves travel out from their source forever – unless they impinge on to a surface where they are absorbed, or reflected, or both. Sound tends to travel in a straight line. It will bounce in much the same way as light reflects.
All rooms have their own acoustic behaviors. Sounds bounce from wall to wall and ceiling until they are absorbed. If a room is empty and the surfaces are hard, sound bounces many more times before it dies. If the room is padded, the sound quickly dies as it is absorbed by the padding.
Monolithic Domes are shaped perfectly to reflect most sound through their focal point – their centers. This means we can capture the sound and absorb it at its center without covering all other surfaces.
Sound generally follows line of sight. If you see only absorbers, you can bet the sound only sees absorbers. The absorbers (soft, lumpy, no reflective surfaces, many angles of reflection) can be people, carpet, upholstery, acoustic ceiling tile, furniture of all kinds and shapes, plants, flags, etc.
The point is that all extra sound in any room is a bother. It needs to be absorbed. In the dome it concentrates in the center. This concentration makes it more noticeable. In many ways that is good as it provides a much smaller area that must be treated to absorb the extra sound.
The simplest sound treatment is a cloud of sound absorbing material hanging in the center (focal point) of the dome. For beauty or effect, the absorbing cloud can be designed as a series of small clouds or as a single hung ceiling. Flagging, vertically suspended, also works well.
With all acoustic treatments, it's imperative that the treatment does not compromise the dome's huge heat sink. That heat sink is part of the dome's heating system. It's the passive solar part of the building. Air must be allowed to flow freely through the cloud so the heat can interact with the dome shell. This can be done by properly spacing the clouds or the flagging, or by using power ventilation.
Spraying the dome with fuzzy sound absorbers is a quick fix for short sound waves. It does not help much with long sound waves. And it definitely will foul up the quick heat sinking ability of the concrete shell. The shell stores enormous quantities of heat.
Great care must be taken not to lose this feature, especially in domes where crowds of people will be occupying the building from time to time.
Monolithic Domes have an interesting technological feature. When they are clear and open they concentrate sound. Concentrated sound can be dealt with. We have many experts telling us how to do it. Their advice varies. But we have learned a few things by just doing. One way to calm the sound is to hang sound absorbing blankets in the center of the dome. It is a very simple and inexpensive cure.
One of our office domes had too much sound bounce. The dome was open with a few office cubicles around the edge. We had several people give us advice about calming the sound bounce. One that made the most sense was a salesman selling sound panels – quilted soft panels. Without further guidance, we ordered 24 panels, began hanging them a few at a time and testing the results. Surprise! We achieved solid calming with just four panels in the dome's center.
Since that worked, we used 32 larger panels in Italy ISD's Multipurpose Facility/ Gym. It helped immensely. But they were installed around the perimeter. There is no doubt in my mind that a small number of the larger panels in the center of a gym would do wonders to calm sound.
Sound blankets are simple to install, inexpensive, colorful, attractive and virtually indestructible. Balls thrown against them are not a problem.
If you do not have current sound mitigation, consider the panels. Call us for names of suppliers and installation methods.

Dha-Hanu, the land of Aryans is located around 163 kms to the south west of Leh. There are many small villages but only two villages of Dha and Hanu are open for tourists.
The main attraction of this area are the Drok-pa community, who are Buddhists by faith, but racially and culturally distinct from the rest of the Ladakhis.
Drok-pas are believed to have migrated to this area via Gilgit around thousands years ago from central Asia. They are considered to be the last race of Aryans and have pure Indo Aryan features unlike the mongoloid features of Ladakhis.
Their culture and religious practices are more akin to the ancient pre-Buddhist animist religion, known as Bon-chos, than to Buddhism as practiced in rest of Ladakh. This region is famous for fruits such as apricots, apples, walnuts and grapes.

Another picture from Saturday night, this one taken from section 129. It's hard to see in the smaller version of the picture (click the pic for the big version), but if you look in the section just inside the foul pole, a little less than halfway up, there is a cluster of orange. Those are the jerky Orioles fans I had to yell at during the game because they were acting like Red Sox fans. I was sitting two rows in front of them.

Kate scores gold with exclusive Cartier necklace at Olympic event
July 19, 2012 - 17:15 BST hellomagazine.com The Duchess of Cambridge was invited to view a series of pictures recording preparations for the Olympics.
The distinctive hooped necklace that she wore on Thursday was particularly fitting for what was, after all, an engagement celebrating the Olympics.
It also gave an added air of sophistication to the simple shift by Stella McCartney which the Duchess of Cambridge had picked out to visit an exhibition about the Games at the National Portrait Gallery.
CLICK ON PHOTO FOR GALLERY
At £50,000 the Cartier Trinity Necklace is pricier than would be expected of Kate, who has developed a reputation for being prudent.
The 18-carat chain features pavé diamonds as well as three intertwined circles of pink, yellow and white gold.
It may well have been a gift for her recent 30th birthday from Prince William or her parents. But neither Cartier or her aides would be drawn into discussing who bought it.
A St James's Palace spokesman said of the necklace: "It's a personal piece which she's had for some time. It's not an official Olympic item but it's appropriate to wear it."
As the patron of the gallery and an ambassor for London 2012, Kate had been invited to unveil 100 new portraits related to the sports spectacular.
Subjects of Road to 2012: Aiming High include London Mayor Boris Johnson and Mark Cavendish, a cyclist who was the BBC's Sports Personality of the Year in 2011.
The sporty royal appears in the exhibition herself in a photograph by Jillian Edlestein of her training with Team GB hockey players earlier this year.
On that occasion Kate, who was the captain of her school hockey team, impressed with her athletic skills.
The Duchess, a History of Art graduate, also viewed other works including one showing footage of David Beckham asleep taken by Sam Taylor-Wood.

Ep. 144 – Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker (spoiler-filled), Cats, Bombshell
December 22, 2019 by Jerrod Kingery
This week on The CineSnob Podcast, Cody and Jerrod have a spoiler-filled discussion of "Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker," the insanity of "Cats," and the pulled punches of "Bombshell."

Beatriz at Dinner
June 16, 2017 by Kiko Martinez
Starring: Salma Hayek, John Lithgow, Connie Britton
Directed by: Miguel Arteta ("Cedar Rapids")
Written by: Mike White ("School of Rock")
Personalities and political opinions clash in superb fashion in director Miguel Arteta's satirical, dark dramedy "Beatriz at Dinner," a film that is thematically timely in the volatile partisan climate the country finds itself in today, but doesn't overstate its message one way or another. Arteta and screenwriter Mike White ("School of Rock"), by staying vague about their personal political views, keep the narrative ambiguous and provocative, which fares well for its polar-opposite main characters.
In "Beatriz at Dinner," Salma Hayek, giving her best performance since her Oscar-nominated title role in the 2003 biopic "Frida," stars as Beatriz, an Los Angeles masseuse a holistic healer who has recently felt more alienated as a Mexican immigrant after one of her neighbors purposefully kills her pet goat. Emotionally drained, Beatriz finds herself at a client's home in an upscale L.A. neighborhood for a massage appointment. Beatriz has known her client, Cathy (Connie Britton), for a while now. She used to give therapy to Cathy's cancer-stricken daughter. There is an obvious history and a quasi-friendship present—at least a superficial type, since Beatriz is there providing a service.
The dynamic of their relationship is altered, however, when Cathy invites Beatriz to stay for a dinner party after Beatriz's car won't start and she has to wait for a friend to pick her up. Cathy's husband Grant (David Warshofsky) really doesn't think it's a great idea that she stays, since they are hosting a couple of his business partners, including billionaire real estate mogul Doug Strutt (John Lithgow), so they can talk about the new shopping mall they're going to build.
Ideologies come to a head when Doug, a Donald Trump-esque character (although "Beatriz at Dinner" was written before Trump ran for President), and Beatriz find themselves sitting across from each other at the dinner table and later in another part of the mansion for dessert and drinks. Beatriz is dismayed when she realizes that Doug might be the real estate tycoon who ruined her home town in Mexico with his invasive construction projects. Their conversation comes to a boil when Doug shares pictures with the group of his recent safari expedition where he killed a rhino.
Hayek and Lithgow are perfectly cast in their roles. The moments they share of brazen offensiveness and sheer discomfort might leave audiences squirming in their seats as they witness two strong characters who refuse to back down from confrontation. The film is reminiscent of two other character-driven movies released 20 years apart, the 1995 dark comedy "The Last Supper," and the 2015 Brazilian film "The Second Mother." The first pits a group of left-wing young adults who host dinner parties for conservative guests and end up poisoning them if their politics are too offensive to their liberal sensibilities. The other, focuses on the way a well-to-do family's dynamic shifts when they invite their housekeeper's daughter to live with them before she gets ready to go to college.
In "Beatriz at Dinner," Arteta and White keep the dialogue biting without allowing either Doug or Beatriz to maul each other with their incompatible beliefs. The open-ended final minutes of the film might turn some viewers off, who were hoping for some kind of final showdown, but like life, there are usually no winners when it comes to politically-charged discourse and discord.

Starring: John Lithgow, Alfred Molina, Marisa Tomei
Directed by: Ira Sachs ("Keep the Lights On")
Written by: Ira Sachs ("Keep the Lights On") and Mauricio Zacharias ("Keep the Lights On")
It's difficult not to find "Love is Strange" likeable despite its many flaws. Anchored by moving and understated performances by Oscar nominee John Lithgow ("Terms of Endearment") and Alfred Molina ("Frida"), it's the kind of film that demands respect, especially since it's filling a void in LGBT cinema where stories tend to be more about a younger generation and their struggles to find or confront their sexual identity. When is the last time you saw a love story between two men around the age of 65-70? Unless we're talking about smaller documentaries like "Before You Know It," "Gen Silent," or "88 Years in the Closet," it's extremely rare. Even when actor Christopher Plummer won an Oscar for playing a gay octogenarian in the 2010 comedy/drama "Beginners," the lover he chose was much younger. With that said, "Love is Strange" breaks some important barriers, but not without writing itself into some messy scenarios that feel way more complicated than they had to be.
The film opens with Ben (Lithgow) and George (Molina), two older gentlemen dressed to the nines, walking through the streets of Manhattan as if they were going to a nearby café to have a cup of coffee like it was any other morning. This is far from any other morning, however. This is Ben and George's wedding day. After a nearly 40-year relationship, the couple has decided to make it official. Their joy is short-lived, however, when George, a music teacher at an Archdiocese-run school, is fired from his position since his marriage violates the Christian Witness Statement he signed when he was hired. Now on an extremely fixed income, Ben and George are forced to sell their apartment and temporarily sleep under different roofs until they can find a new home (none of their family or friends who live in the city can accommodate both men, a plot point that is hard to swallow, but important to the overall narrative). With Ben staying with his nephew and his family (Marisa Tomei plays the overly annoyed wife) and George staying with younger gay friends, the two men must do something they've never had to do during their entire relationship: live apart.
"Love is Strange" is best when Lithgow and Molina share the screen. Of course, this only takes place a handful of times during the film since their situation keeps them separated. When the two talk about their lives and the sometimes painful past, it's a beautiful way to show just how comfortable and sensible 40 years of companionship has molded their relationship. Ben and George have known for a long time that they work better as a couple. Director/co-writer Ira Sachs ("Keep the Lights On") makes sure audiences can feel that security and compassion when they interact.
Where "Love is Strange" struggles is in the secondary family story it tries so desperately to fit into Ben and George's difficult circumstance. It's especially true with Lithgow who somehow ends up becoming a burden on his nephew's wife and their teenage son. The fact that everyone gets so aggravated so quickly rings immensely false. It's almost as if Sachs and co-writer Mauricio Zacharias felt they had to impose some sort of conflict to make the film find another emotional layer it could've easily done without (or done without the exaggeration).
Lithgow and Molina's chemistry, however, is all the emotion "Love is Strange" needs. The deeper Sachs and Zacharias could've delved into that touching story and focused more on the quieter moments, the more the film would've felt true to form.

Sequintial Art – London Fashion Week SS13 – What we've been up to!
This month Hawthorne & Heaney have been continuing our collaborations with a new designer Claire Barrow and established knitwear designers Sibling.
Claire Barrow is a Graduate of Westminster University. We first met her last year and worked on her fully beaded paint embroidery for her graduate collection. Originally from Stockton-on-Tees, Barrow is now based in East London and may be best known for her customized leather jackets and dressing the likes of Rihanna. Since graduating Barrow has gone on to create an on-schedule collection with NewGen at London Fashion Week.
Barrow provided us with a painted pattern piece leaving it to us to choose simple stiches and basic embroidery techniques to convey the raw aesthetic of the concept in the finished piece.
Sibling is a London knitwear collective launched in 2008 and comprised of Cozette McCreedy, Sid Bryan and Joe Bates.
For their Sister by Sibling SS13 collection they asked us to create three-dimensional flowers from French Knotted fluorescent yarn, seed beads, sequins and bugle beads. These covered a black knit body, swim cap and a raffia edged crop top.
We have enjoyed working with these two young lables who have an understanding and respect for embellishment yet an uncompromising attitude to utilizing its techniques achieve their contemporary vision and concepts.


A driven Wall Street executive returns to her alma mater for a college reunion in the picturesque Berkshire Mountains of Western Massachusetts. Constant devotion to her employer at the cost of having a life of her own had taken its toll. Pam felt she needed a few days away for a change of pace. Being accustomed to fending for herself, falling in love was the furthest thing from her mind. Striking up a casual conversation with Jake over a cup of coffee at an old haunt becomes the start of a long adventure that turns her world upside down.


Suppose, as happened last night, a character intends to subdue rather than kill an opponent. She made a melee attack, hit, declared her intent to knock out. The damage roll was enough to reduce the opponent to zero and the remaining damage exceeded the opponent's maximum HP.
So which rule takes precedence? Or is it neither?
These rules have two entirely separate triggers, and if a single attack satisfies both, then so be it.
The attack reduced the creature to 0 hit points, and it was a melee attack. So you can choose to knock the creature out; it's now unconscious and stable.
However, there was leftover damage from the attack equaling or exceeding the creature's maximum hitpoints. So it dies.
The end result is that the creature is dead. If you're worried about realism, this is a perfect outcome: If you're trying to knock someone out, but you hit them hard enough to kill them, they die, regardless of your intentions.
The massive damage rule applies to players, not monsters, remember this is the Player's Handbook - any beholders or dragons reading it are way out of line! A monster reduced to 0hp is dead unless there is an exception. One is that the DM wants to treat the monster like a player. Another is that the player wants to knock the monster out.
More importantly, which is the most fun?
The DM describes the environment. "Here is a monster."
The players describe what they want to do. "I want to knock it out."
The dice decide nothing; they merely inform the DM's decision. Of course 99.9% of the time they inform it totally but when they don't, the DM can use whatever they like in deciding between these two outcomes; not least the Rule of Cool and the potential consequences of the Accidental Murder. Which one you choose depends on which one gives the player's the best shot at awesome.
Here's the problem. Specific beats general. Except in this case, you have two specific rules countering one general rule.
The exceptions, which are specific overrides to this are Instant Death and Knocking a Creature Out.
You've already cited both of these sources in your question, so I'll break it down.
Instant Death - specific rule that occurs if and only if maximum damage is applied to a character/creature that exceeds it's maximum health, taking into account damage required to reduce it to an unconscious state. This means a target with 9 HP left out of 15 HP total would require a total of 24 damage to be dealt in a single turn in order to kill it outright.
Knocking a Creature Out - specific rule that occurs upon dropping a target to 0 HP. You can elect to deal this nonlethal damage on the instance of attack.
Now, why is this a DM decision? Because even a nonlethal attack can end up becoming a lethal attack by accident. Let's say you take a swing at a very wounded goblin and declare nonlethal intent to knock the creature out. So you roll your attack and score a critical hit.... and you're playing a Half-Orc so you also have Savage Attacker bolstering your blow.
Neither of these specific rules take precedent over the other though. So you could also rule as the DM that the nonlethal intent is always successful and thus the damage is irrelevant so long as it is enough to render a target unconscious.
What this boils down to is a rare case where two specific rules conflict, so arbitration becomes a requirement if there is disagreement. Ultimately, rolling high/low might be the easiest way to determine the outcome when torn between two choices.
No, instant death supersedes a nonlethal knock-out.
When you reduce a creature to 0 hit points with a melee attack, you can choose to nonlethally knock them out. However, when you not only reduce a creature to 0 hit points but also deal enough excess damage to exceed their maximum hit points, they die.
In D&D 5e, specific beats general. In this case, these are both specific rules for specific situations. However, both rules have a condition of reducing a creature to 0 hit points, while only one of them stipulates an additional condition and is therefore more specific.
So, the massive damage rule causing instant death supersedes the nonlethal rule for merely knocking a creature out because it applies to a more specific scenario. This also makes sense thematically because it's entirely possible to try to bop somebody unconscious and accidentally manslaughter them to death.
Miniman is right, the enemy is dead.
A good attack roll does not mean big wounds, it means big success. The character wanted to knock out the enemy, and she succeeded. Rolling a lot of damage means it was knocked out unusually thoroughly.
A bad attack roll means failure. In this case, she wanted to subdue the opponent, a roll of 2 (failure) means an absence of success, and only roll of 1 (critical failure) takes away even the chance of success in the future.
So I would rule it is a kill only on a 1.

Real Property – Grantor's Covenant to Insert Restrictions in Future Deeds as Personal Covenant
John B. Huck February, 1955
Certain farm owners, intending to subdivide the land, conveyed a lot to plaintiff by a deed restricting its use to residence purposes and providing that only single dwellings could be erected. The grantors covenanted to insert the same restrictions in future deeds to the rest of the land. Plaintiff recorded his deed. The grantors subsequently sold another lot to defendant church without inserting a similar restrictive covenant. Plaintiff brought suit to enjoin the erection of the church. On appeal from a decree for defendant, held, affirmed, three judges dissenting. The parties to the first deed, in providing for similar covenants in future deeds from the same grantor, did not impose upon the land retained by the grantors, while owned by them, the same restrictions as were imposed on the land granted; therefore, under the theory of reciprocal negative easements, the restrictions could not subsequently be imposed on the land when sold to the defendants. The language indicated that the grantors' covenant to insert similar restrictions in future deeds was intended to be merely a personal covenant. Buckley v. Mooney, 339 Mich. 398, 63 N.W. (2d) 655 (1954).


Human capacity to discriminate among different faces relies on distinct parallel sub-processes, either based on analysis of configural aspects of faces or on the sequential analysis of the single elements of a face. A particular type of configural processing consists in considering whether two faces differ in terms of internal spacing among their features, i.e., second-order relations processing. Findings from electrophysiological, neuroimaging and lesions' studies suggest that overall configural processes rely more on right hemisphere's resources, whereas analysis of single features would involve more the left hemisphere. However, results are not always consistent, and there is no yet clear behavioral demonstration for a right-hemisphere specialization in second-order relations processing. Here we used divided visual field presentation to investigate the possible different contribution of the two hemispheres in faces' discrimination based on relational vs. featural processing. Our data indicate a right hemisphere specialization in relational processing of upright (but not inverted) faces, and provide evidence on the involvement of both right and left hemisphere resources in processing faces differing for inner features, suggesting that in this case both analytical and configural modes of processing are at play.
Research on visual attention triggered by face gender is still relatively sparse. In the present study, three experiments are reported in which male and female participants were required to estimate the midpoint of a line (i.e., the "line bisection task"): at each end of the line a face was presented. Depending on the experimental condition, faces could be of the same gender (i.e., two males or two females) or the opposite gender. Experiment 1 and 2 findings converged in showing that when a male face was presented at the right and a female face at the left endpoint of the line, a clear rightward bias emerged compared to the other experimental conditions, indicating that male faces captured attention more than female faces. Importantly, male faces used across Experiment 1 and 2 were rated as more threatening than female faces, suggesting that perceived level of threat may have been responsible for the observed bias toward the male face. Experiment 3 corroborated this hypothesis by finding an attentional bias toward the male face with high threat (angry) faces but not with low threat (smiling) faces.
Facial recognition relies on distinct and parallel types of processing: featural processing focuses on the individual components of a face (e.g., the shape or the size of the eyes), whereas configural (or "relational") processing considers the spatial interrelationships among the single facial components (e.g., distance of the mouth from the nose). Previous neuroimaging evidence has suggested that featural and configural processes may rely on different brain circuits. By using rTMS, here we show for the first time a double dissociation in dorsolateral prefrontal cortex for different aspects of face processing: in particular, TMS over the left middle frontal gyrus (BA8) selectively disrupted featural processing, whereas TMS over the right inferior frontal gyrus (BA44) selectively interfered with configural processing of faces. By establishing a causal link between activation in left and right prefrontal areas and different modes of face processing, our data extend previous neuroimaging evidence and may have important implications in the study of face-processing deficits, such as those manifested in prosopagnosia and autistic spectrum disorders.

Sending employees on assignment abroad can be an expensive endeavour, on average traditional expatriate assignments can cost a company approximately 2 to 2.5 times the employees annual salary each year. However, companies can structure their assignments in various ways to ensure they are more cost effective. One of the key considerations in structuring international assignments is the tax implications and benefits in host countries.
In this article we look at international assignments and taxation from a French perspective, exploring the French income tax landscape in comparison with the rest of Europe first and then touching on the factors employers need to be mindful of when sending employees overseas.
It remains a popular belief that French employees assigned to a foreign country will pay less income tax abroad than in France. However, taking into account the French personal income tax regime, it is evident that the taxation of employment income in France may actually be more favourable than other foreign systems.
For example, what would the income tax be in various host countries for a married couple with two children and a global taxable income of EUR 200,000?
Although the social security contribution rates in France are generally higher than other countries, it is evident from the graph above that the employment income tax system in France is considerably more favourable, especially for employees with family there. This is mostly due to the way in which personal income tax is calculated whereby the family status and their income is taken into consideration (as mentioned below). Even though the taxable salary is capped, for a family with two children it significantly reduces the global tax burden.
It is clearly important that the tax impacts of an international assignment not be neglected, and although some companies may consider this a private matter, employers who send employees abroad must at least, within the scope of their obligation to inform employees of changes to their conditions of employment, draw the employee's attention to their tax situation once abroad. The employer's implication may also include tax equalisation or a comparative study of the employee's net income after social charges and tax during the assignment.
Tax equalisation ensures an employee only pays an amount of theoretical tax, while on assignment, equivalent to what they would have paid should they have remained in the host country. On the other hand, the employer pays the actual amount of tax due in the host country. This practice, which is not governed by any specific regulation, must be clearly agreed between the employer and employee before work abroad commences.
The reference salary used to calculate the "theoretical" personal income tax: should it be the pre-expatriation salary, or the base salary during the assignment, which generally takes into account a "promotion" linked to the assignment?
The family status of the employee and other income: on which basis should personal income tax be calculated? Will non-professional income of the household be included (such as income from real estate)?
Other compensation items such as variable compensation, equity based schemes, deferred compensation, profit sharing schemes, etc.: should they be taken into account?
Although there is no clear guideline, generally only employment income of the employee will be taken into account for tax equalisation, along with the employee's full family ratio so that the exclusion of the household's other income would be partly compensated (the theoretical personal income tax being lower, and the net guaranteed income higher).
Whether a taxable event occurs in the host country.
If the host country applies the OECD principles in relation to the sharing of the right to tax the acquisition gain.
How the acquisition gain is taxed.
Specific attention must also be given to the means of "payment" of certain compensation items. Housing may generally be a rather easy way to optimize the tax and social security treatment of the tax benefit, particularly in countries where housing costs are extremely high. The tax impact of the provision of the flat/house by the employer (which would be the owner or the lessor) is in many countries far more limited than the one of a mere refund of the rent. In Japan and Hong Kong for example, where the housing costs are particularly high, the benefit in kind is taxable only up to 5% of the actual rent and to 10% of the taxable income respectively.
Similar to the "inbound" expatriates' regime implemented by France in 2005, recently loosened by the Macron Act (intragroup mobility within France used to trigger the loss of the tax regime, which is no longer the case), various countries allow talented workers from abroad to benefit from tax breaks. Subject to meeting certain conditions, employees can benefit from tax rebate on their taxable income in European countries which include Belgium (foreign executives' regime), the Netherlands (30% ruling), the United Kingdom (remittance basis), Denmark, and more recently Italy (see overviews here). Some non-European countries also have similar types of schemes, such as Singapore and China.
How can you optimise your international assignments?
Utilising tax treatment of host countries during international assignments can greatly benefit employers and employees alike. However, the correct structuring of assignee packages and employment structures can be complicated and it is suggested that employers obtain the input from a professional tax advisor in order to ensure it is implemented in the correct way and understood by all parties.

Located on the Suwannee River, the campground sits on 62 acres of beautiful nature. My brother and I got the property in April of 2017. The place used to be a campground and also on the property is a restaurant. The place was very popular, but unfortunately somehow it got closed. Now we brought it back to life and we are ready to welcome everyone to come and enjoy this beautiful peace of property on the Suwannee.
Hmmm we couldn't find any listings within Suwannee River Cove Campground that match your search criteria. Try removing filters or zooming the map out and searching again.
