A$AP Rocky premieres his music video Everyday featuring Rod Stewart, Migeul, and Mark Ronson. The Emmanuel Cossu, and Fleur & Manu directed visual is a grim prothetic visit to the L$D rapper's loveless future where an overweight and washed-up A$AP drowns his demons with liquor and pill cocktails. A$AP then attempts to recapture his past in the Hip-Hop Hollywood story style video. A$AP's album, At.Long.Last.A$AP, is available now on iTunes.


LONDON -- The shares of J Sainsbury have rallied 1.5% to 371 pence as of 8 a.m. EDT after the supermarket issued a fourth-quarter update. The FTSE 100 member said its total sales advanced 7.1% during the 10 weeks to March 16, with like-for-like sales up 4.2%. Excluding fuel, total sales improved 6.3% and like-for-like sales increased 3.6%.
Chief executive Justin King, said: "We have delivered strong sales in the fourth quarter, increasing market share and outperforming in what remains a tough retail environment. Over the quarter, we grew customer transactions to 22.9 million per week, serving more customers than ever."
King also claimed the supermarket's convenience store operation had grown 18% year on year on the back of new outlets and strong like-for-like sales. He also revealed that the group's online division had seen its sales improve by nearly 20% during the last 12 months, with 190,000 customers now receiving deliveries every week.
Another highlight was general merchandise and clothing, sales of which advanced at nearly three times the rate of the company's food sales. Sainsbury's confirmed that February saw annual sales of its general merchandise range top 1 billion pounds for the first time.
Prior to today, City experts reckoned the supermarket's current-year earnings could top 29 pence per share and that its 12-month dividend may be nearly 17 pence per share. Such projections suggest the shares trade at less than 13 times possible profits and offer a potential income of 4.5%. Of course, whether today's statement and the share price valuation now combine to make Sainsbury a buy remains your decision.

Dance Movements was commissioned by the United States Air Force Band and first performed by them at the Florida Music Educators' Association Convention in January 1996. It is cast in four movements which are played without a break; the second and third feature woodwinds and brass, respectively.
In many respects, the circumstances of the commission itself were the musical inspiration for the piece: I had been asked to write for a very large band, which included piano and harp. It was the first time I had used these instruments in a concert band score and (as in Stravinsky's Symphony in Three Movements) their presence coloured the score and, indeed, the type of music I wrote.
The four movements are all dance-inspired, although no specific dance rhythms are used. The first has a Latin American feel and uses xylophone, cabasa, tambourine and wood block to give local colour. The second woodwind movement uses a tune that had been plaguing me for some time and is, I suppose, in the style of an English country dance. The brass movement was composed without a specific dance analogy, but I think it can been seen as a love duet in classical ballet. The fourth and longest movement has, I hope, cured me of a ten-year fascination, almost obsession, with the music of Leonard Bernstein, and I will readily admit that it owes its existence to the fantastic dance music in West Side Story.
I. Ritmico. The opening theme on horns and saxophones is played amidst stabbing chords from the top and bottom of the band. A gentler theme follows on piccolo and clarinet, followed by the flute, oboe, trumpet, harp and glockenspiel. The main motif of the movement then arrives, which includes a dotted rhythm, which is to recur at all significant moments. A climax is reached and an angular figure follows on oboes, saxophones and clarinets. Previous material then reappears to bring the movement to a close.
II. Molto Vivo (for the Woodwinds). The second movement starts with a rustic dance tune, which is continually interrupted. It passes through various keys and stages of development until a bubbling ostinato arrives on piano, harp, glockenspiel and cello. Over this, the oboe lays a languid tune, which is then taken up by soprano and alto saxophones. Clarinets and lower winds introduce a new idea; it is built on 9th and 11th chords, highly syncopated and interspersed by snatches of the ostinato. Eventually the oboe theme reappears, accompanied by the lower wind chords. The dance tune then establishes itself once more and reaches a climax before winding down to a close.
III. Lento (for the Brass). The third movement opens with whispering muted trumpets, harp and vibraphone. Declamatory statements from horn and trombone answer each other and a slow and majestic chorale gets underway. Trumpets join to reach a climax where the original trombone statement reappears, bringing back the opening trumpets figures.
IV. Molto ritmico. The final movement bursts into life with a passage featuring the percussion section. The whole band then joins in until a driving bass ostinato establishes itself. Melodic snatches are thrown around the band until a gradual crescendo leads to a unison passage for the entire band. A robust theme appears on horns and saxophones but eventually the earlier sinister music returns. After a short pause a plaintive tune on the woodwinds leads to a more rhythmic one on the brass, but it is not long before the percussion remind us of the opening of the movement, and the ostinato reappears. The robust horn tune is this time played by the full band but the moment of triumph is short and a running passage appears that starts in the bottom of the band but works its way to the upper woodwinds. Eventually the brass plays a noble fanfare that dispels the darker mood and ends the movement in a blaze of colour.

Thucydides is often heralded as one of the great historians of Antiquity, often to the detriment of the more interesting Herodotus and the eminently more likeable Xenophon (whose constant badgering at the hands of modern commentators has made him very sad indeed). One of the most interesting parts of Thucydides' unfinished history of the Peloponnesian War, to my mind, is the so-called Archaeology (1.1–23), which serves as a potted history of Early Greece up to and including the Thirty Years' Truce (signed in 446/445 BC).
The Archaeology (literally, "knowledge of the past") is a mix of plausible-sounding myth, hearsay, and second-hand history that many modern commentators have gratefully accepted as a valuable framework for the earliest history of ancient Greece. Thucydides used the Archaeology as a starting point for his history of the Peloponnesian War (431–404 BC), which he claims was "more worth writing about than any of those which had taken place in the past" (1.1; translation Rex Warner). He adds that it was difficult for him to reconstruct the distant past, but concluded that 'these periods were not great periods either in warfare or in anything else' (ibid.).
In the earliest times, according to Thucydides, there were no settled peoples in Greece. People were constantly on the move because of pressure from invaders. Because of these dangers, there was trade, no normal agriculture, and no cities. In fertile regions, such as Thessaly, Boeotia, and parts of the Peloponnese, the people managed to acquire great power, but the richness of the land also made them prime targets for their enemies.
However, Attica was relatively poor and so, Thucydides claims, "was remarkably free from political disunity" and therefore "has always been inhabited by the same race of people" (1.2). Indeed, in Classical times, the Athenians claimed to be autochthonous and compared themselves explicitly with the Dorians (such as the Spartans), who were believed to have been late arrivals in Greece. Because of its stability, Thucydides writes, many people fled to Attica, so that quickly it became overpopulated, at which point colonies were sent out to Ionia in Anatolia. In this way, Thucydides explained the existence of Greek cities in Asia Minor where the people spoke Ionian, a dialect closely related to Attic.
The earliest war that Thucydides knows of where the Greeks acted as a single people was the Trojan War (which Thucydides doesn't date). But even here, Thucydides points out that Homer never refers to the Greeks as Hellenes, but instead uses a variety of names, so that it seems that the Greeks were not yet considered distinct from other peoples (1.3). Indeed, in the Iliad, the Greeks and Trojans have a similar culture and also seem to speak the same language.
One aspect of early society, according to Thucydides, was the proliferation of piracy. Cities back then were scattered settlements with no walls (how this fits with descriptions in the Iliad where most cities are indeed walled is not clear), and engaging in piracy was commonly accepted and even honourable (1.5). Raiding on land was also common, and Thucydides explains that in societies where such robbery is widely accepted the people go about their lives armed (1.6); there's a lesson in there for all of us, I imagine.
Thucydides claims that the Aegean islands were largely colonized by Phoenicians and Carians. Indeed, when the Athenians removed all of the graves on Delos – which had been declared sacred ground – more than half of all the graves unearthed were Carian, "as could be seen from the type of weapons buried with the bodies and from the method of burial". Only when the legendary Minos – king of Knossos on Crete – organized a decent fleet did the seas become safer (1.8).
To the ancient Greeks and Romans, the Trojan War was a historical event. Agamemnon, Thucydides writes, must have been the most powerful ruler of his day. The historian rationalizes the Trojan War and sets aside the Oath of Tyndareus, claiming instead that Agamemnon used the threat of force to muster the Greek fleet against Troy (1.9).
Thucydides spends some time to discuss the size of the Greek army assembled for the Trojan War and comes to the conclusion that "it was not on the scale of what is done in modern warfare". Indeed, Homer – as a poet – probably exaggerated the size of the Greek army, yet compared to the armies of Thucydides' own time it was relatively small, especially "considering that this was a force representing the united effort of the whole of Hellas" (1.10).
Interestingly, Thucydides claims that the army wasn't small due to a lack of manpower, but rather due to a lack of money. It was because the Greeks had to farm for food on the Chersonese (something never mentioned by Homer, by the way) and had to engage in raids to keep the army supplied, the war dragged on for ten years. In other words, if Agamemnon's logistical apparatus had been better, he would have been able to assault the Trojans with his entire force and "won easily" (1.11). Thucydides thus accepts the basic outline of the Trojan War (e.g. a war of Greece against Troy that lasted ten years), but then proceeds to rationalize it.
Before and after the Trojan War, Greece remained unstable. The Boeotians moved south to settle Cadmeis, the original name for the region that is now called Boeotia. Later still, the Dorians and the descendants of Heracles moved south and "made themselves masters of the Peloponnese". Once the people had been settled, the age of colonization began, with e.g. Ionian cities being founded in Anatolia by the Athenians (1.12). It's a common for historians in Antiquity to explain change as the result of the movement of peoples.
Thucydides' influence on modern histories of ancient Greece can be felt most acutely when we turn to that part of the Archaeology that seems to deal with the Archaic period (eighth to sixth centuries BC). "The old form of government," Thucydides writes, "was hereditary monarchy with established rights and limitations; but as Hellas became more powerful and the importance of acquiring money became more evidence, tyrannies were established in nearly all the cities, revenues increased, shipbuilding flourished, and ambition turned towards sea-power" (1.13).
A tyrant – from Greek tyrannos – was a dictator, someone who had seized sole power in a city. Tyrants usually emerged after a period of stasis or factional strife, characterized by power struggles among elite families. They certainly seem to have been common in the Archaic period, but we should not take Thucydides' statement that they "were established in nearly all the cities" at face value.
Thucydides' emphasis on naval power is of course due to Athens' fleet and the fact that he himself served as an admiral during the Peloponnesian War. The most powerful Greek navies only came into being around the time of Xerxes' expedition to Greece, and the fleets of Athens and Aegina seem to have been the most important.
Thucydides specifically contrasts the powerful triremes with the smaller fifty-oared vessels known from the Homeric epics. The earliest triremes, Thucydides claims, were built at Corinth 300 years before the Peloponnesian War; such relative dating is used frequently (1.13–14). The Athenian historian makes a special point that Greek empires were all acquired by means of fleets rather than armies, stating emphatically that "there was no warfare on land that resulted in the acquisition of an empire", adding that "wars were simply local affairs between neighbours" (1.15).
The Ionians – who you may remember were descended from the Athenians! – were becoming very powerful, but were eventually conquered by the Persian Empire (1.16). Since most other cities were ruled by tyrants, who primarily worried about their own safety, none of them managed to rise to any real power. But at some point, "the Spartans put down tyranny in the rest of Greece". Shortly afterwards, the Athenians defeated the Persians at Marathon (1.18).
Thucydides discusses the Persian Wars only briefly (for a fuller, but not complete account, refer to our friend Herodotus). He describes how the Greeks united against a common enemy, but soon afterwards "split into two divisions, one group following Athens and the other following Sparta". Of course, we know that many of those "following" the Athenians didn't really have much of a choice in the matter! But in any event, Athens reigned supreme at sea and Sparta was superior on land. The two sides quickly came to blows.
Thucydides finishes his Archaeology with a warning not to accept the earliest history of the Greeks uncritically; a statement that has earned him the admiration of modern historians (1.20).
The Athenian writer concludes that of all the early wars, the ones fought between the Greeks and the Persians were the greatest, yet points out that the outcome of the war was decided relatively quickly in a handful of important battles. "The Peloponnesian War, on the other hand, not only lasted for a long time, but throughout its course brought with it unprecedented suffering for Hellas" (1.23).

Naziv datira iz 16. veka kada su u Holandiji oporezivali pivo, alkoholna pića, so i šećer posebnim porezom koji su zvali -{excijsen}-. Proizvodi koji se oporezuju akcizama najčešće su cigarete, alkoholna pića i naftni derivati. Akcizama se oporezuju proizvodi sa neelastičnom potražnjom, a porezni obveznici su proizvođači i uvoznici. Porezna osnovica je određena mernom jedinicom (kilogram, litar i sl), a iznosi su u apsolutnim vrednostima (npr. 10 dinara na 1 -{kg}- kafe). Na cenu proizvoda se dodaje iznos akcize, a na taj iznos se onda obračunava PDV. Pivari bi dobijali papir sa markicama, sekli ih na pojedinačne markice, odlepili ih, i zalepili preko čepa bureta sa pivom kako bi se markice uništile kada se istoči bure.]]

Akciza je vrsta poreza na proizvedenu robu koji se naplaćuje tokom proizvodnje, a ne prilikom prodaje. Često se povezuje sa pojmom carine (koja se naplaćuje na robu koja se prevozi preko kontrolisanih graničnih prelaza, prilikom uvoza ili izvoza) . Sada možemo napraviti razliku između ova dva pojma: carina se, kao oblik poreza, naplaćuje na već postojeću robu - oporeziva roba - na kontrolisanom graničnom prelazu, dok se akciza naplaćuje na robu unutar države u kojoj je proizvedena.

Iako se pojam akcize često poistovećuje sa pojmom poreza, ona samo predstavlja njegov specifičan oblik. Zapravo, porez se naplaćuje pojedincu ( tačnije, određuje se koliki bi taj iznos mogao biti), dok se akciza naplaćuje na određenu robu. Akciza predstavlja indirektno oporezivanje, što znači da se od prodavca ili proizvođača robe (proizvoda i uluga) koji plaća nadoknadu državi očekuje da poveća prodajnu cenu kako bi nadoknadio svoj gubitak. Akcize se obično nameću kao dodatak na druge indirektne poreze, kao što su porez na promet ili PDV. Uglavnom, one se razlikuju od ovih vrsta indirektnih poreza po sledećem:
 Akciza je porez na jedinicu proizvoda, odnosno postoji tačno određen iznos za količinu ili jedinicu nekog kupljenog proizvoda, dok su porez na promet ili PDV ad vаlоrem porezi i proporcijalni su ceni robe

 Akciza se obično vezuje za uski asortiman proizvoda
 Akciza je obično skuplja i zauzima veći udeo u prodajnoj ceni naznačenih proizvoda

Tipični primeri akciza su porez na benzin i ostala goriva, porez na cigare i alkohol ( zbog čega se ponekad i nazivaju porezom na poroke).

Istorija i objašnjenje akcize
Reč akciza je izvedena iz holandske reči accijns, koja potiče od latinske reči accensare što znači "oporezivati".

Akciza se pojavljuje sredinom 17. veka za vreme Puritanizma. Na Britanskim ostrvima, ubrzo tokom obnove monarhije, mnoga društvena ograničenja koja su do tada postojala bila su promenjena, međutim akciza je ponovo uvedena u Zakon o ukidanju najamnine (Tenures Abolition Act) 1660. godine kao kirija za zakup poseda, koji pripada kraljevskoj porodici, koja će kasnije postati feudalna obaveza. Pošto je broj poseda bio ograničen, akcize su se naplaćivale i na druge stvari; u to vreme smatralo se da postoji gruba veza između imućnih proizvođača oporezivane robe i imućnih zakupnika kraljevskog poseda.

Naplaćivanje akciza je nastavilo da bude sredstvo kojim su se ostvarivali kako politički, tako i finansijski ciljevi. Nametnute su kako bi se poboljšala javna bezbednost i zdravlje, društveni moral, zaštita životne sredine i nacionalna bezbednost. U odbranu oporezivanju žestokih pića akcizom Adam Smit je napisao sledeće: " Već neko vreme politika Velike Britanije je orijentisana ka smanjenju konzumiranja alkoholnih pića, zbog tendencije da ono ljudima naruši zdravlje i da ih demorališe". Samjuel Džonson je bio stroži po ovom pitanju, pa je u svom dnevniku 1755. godine zapisao sledeće:

"Akcize – toliko omraženi porez na robu o kome ne odlučuju sudije, već bednici koji su unajmljeni od strane onih kojima se akcize isplaćuju."

Kao način za odvraćanje, akcize su uglavnom usmerene na tri kategorije koje štete:
 one koje ugrožavaju zdravlje zbog toksičnih supstanci ( što ih čini vrstom poreza na društveno nepoželjnu robu, obično se odnosi na cigare i alkohol)
 imaju štetni uticaj na životnu sredinu ( na ovaj način deluje kao zeleni porez); obično se odnosi na fosilna goriva ( kao na primer benzin )
 one koje imaju loš uticaj na društvo / moralno neprihvatljive aktivnosti ( što ga čini vrstom poreza na porok ); uglavnom se odnose na kockanje, ali mogu obuhvatiti i prostituciju ( uključujući podsticanje i zavođenje) na mestima gde je ona ilegalna

Novac koji je prikupljen oporezivanjem akcizama se može koristiti kao nadoknada za određene društvene troškove koji su povezani sa proizvodom ili uslugom na koje se akcize naplaćuju. Na primer, prihod od oporezivanja cigareta se može koristiti za kampanje koje država sprovodi protiv pušenja ili za lečenje raka, kardiovaskularnih oboljenja, bolesti pluća i tako dalje.

U nekim državama, se akcize na robu naplaćuju isključivo kao kaznene mere. Mnoge američke zemlje nameću akcize na ilegalne supstance i ovakvo oporezivanje se ne smatra izvorom prihoda države, već se koristi kako bi se sprovele strože kaznene mere, podižući optužbe protiv osumnjičenih za utaju poreza.

Roba koja se oporezuje

Cigarete, alkohol i benzin

Ovo su tri osnovne grupe koje se oporezuju akcizama u većini država. To su proizvodi koji se masovno svakodnevno upotrebljavaju ( čak se nekad doživljavaju i kao "neophodni") i koji donose značajan prihod vladama. Prve dve grupe se smatraju legalnim drogama, koje su uzročnici mnogih bolesti ( kao što su rak pluća, ciroza jetre) i koje koristi veliki deo društva, a za koje je poznato da stvaraju zavisnost. Benzin (ili gas), kao i dizel i druga goriva, se takođe oporezuju akcizama, uglavnom zbog štetnog uticaja koja imaju na životnu sredinu; tako prikupljena sredstva se koriste za poboljšanje saobraćajne infrastrukture.

Droga

Neke države u Americi uvele su porez na ilegalne supstance.

Kockanje

Licence za kockanje u mnogim zemljama podležu akcizama. U 18. veku u Engleskoj, i na kratko u Britanskoj Severnoj Americi, kockanje je, samo po sebi, bilo predmet oporezivanja, čije se oporezivanje vršilo na isti način kao i oporezivanje dokumenata, tako što bi pečat koji predstavlja potvrdu da je porez plaćen, bio utisnut na kartu jedinica pik u svakom pakovanju karata, kao dokaz da je obaveza izmirena ( što objašnjava složen dizajn, koji je postojao na karti u mnogim pakovanjima). U početku pečat se koristio samo za dokumenta ( u tu kategorije spadaju i karte), a kasnije i za kockicekockice (što ih čini jedinim predmetom pored dokumenata koji mora imati pečat po zakonu – Stamp Act 1765 ). Zbog oporezivanja i karata i kockica, može se smatrati da je postojala direktna akciza na kockanje.

Profit kladionica u Velikoj Britaniji je takođe predmet Opšteg kockarskog oporezivanja.

Prostitucija

U kanadskom parlamentu je 2005. godine predloženo da prostitucija podleže ovom načinu oporezivanja na posebnim računima, a 2009. je u Nevadi formulisano da :
 5.5 Uvođenje akciza na prostituciju, javne kuće se oporezuju (Kanada)
 "Akciza se uvodi za svakoga ko koristi usluge prostitucije u iznosu od 5$ za svaki dan ili deo dana kada korisnik koristi usluge prostitucije " ( Nevada )

Kanadski poslanici su kao razlog za uvođenje poreza u gore navedena poslovanjima naveli povećanje finansijskih sredstava za policijsku zaštitu i zdravstveno osiguranje prostitutki – mada postoji i dosta razloga protiv ovih mera.

Ostala roba

So, papir i kafa
	Jedan od najpoznatijih poreza u celoj istoriji je Francuski porez na so. Iako je to više bio porez nego akciza, u nekim zemljama se so dovodila u vezu sa akcizom zajedno sa papirom i kafom, kao i mnogim drugim namirnicama, što bi u današnje vreme bilo neuobičajeno . Zapravo, so je bila oporezivana od drugog do dvadesetog veka.

	Mnogo je različitih razloga navedeno za oporezivanje takvih supstanci, uglavnom - ako ne eksplicitno dat - ono se javljalo kao posledica oskudice tih namirnica i njihove velike vrednosti u datom trenutku; vlade su smatrale da imaju puno pravo na deo profita koji su trgovci ostvarili na njima.

Porez na prozor (i slično)
	Porez na prozor je uveden kao deo poreza na dohodak, kako bi se zadržala prava neizmenjena finansijska situacija pojedinaca, jer bi bogatiji pojedinci imali veće domove i stoga bi imali i više prozora, a za razliku od prihoda, prozori se ne mogu lako sakriti. Porezi koji funkcionišu na sličan način su i porez na ognjište, porez na cigle i porez na tapete. Akciza se naplaćuje na mestu proizvodnje. U slučaju poreza na ognjište i poreza na prozore, status akcize zavisi od toga da li se filozofski može reći da prozor/ognjište zaista postoji pre nego što se ognjište/prozor uvede u vlasništvo. Iako su formalno predstavljali akcizu, ovi porezi su zapravo bili samo zamena za direktne poreze, pre nego uobičajen razlog za akcizu.

Svi ovi porezi dovodili su do izbegavanja plaćanja, što je imalo značajan uticaj na društvo i arhitekturu. Ljudi su namerno zazidavali prozore kako bi izbegli porez na prozore. Koristili su mnogo veće cigle kako bi smanjili iznos za plaćanje poreza na ciglu, ili kupili običan papir i kasnije ga popunili da bi izbegli porez na tapete. Neki od siromašnijih ljudi su čak živeli u hladnim i mračnim prostorijama, kako bi izbegli plaćanje tih poreza. Nasuprot tome, pojedini bogataši bi naglašavali svoju sposobnost da plate porez. Kao način da pokažu svoje bogatstvo, na svojim imanjima bi ugrađivali što više prozora, čak bi postavljali i neke lažne, koristili finu ciglu, pokrivali njihove enterijere tapetama i posedovali nekoliko kamina u svakoj sobi.

Novine i reklame
Novine su se oporezivale u Velikoj Britaniji od 1712. do 1853. godine. Prvobitan porez povećan je Zakonom o žigovima iz 1814. godine, kojim je predviđeno četiri penija po kopiji. S obzirom da je to bilo izuzetno skupo za porodice radničke klase (udvostručena je cena novina), taj porez je u negativnom kontekstu nazvan "porezom na znanje".Ljudi su bili primorani da iznajmljuju novine po satu ,a neki su pak skupljali novac kako bi ih kupili i delili. To je dovelo do toga da su čak i stare novine bile veoma tražene.

Obaveza oglašavanja je takođe bila propisana istim zakonom i naplaćivana je "po jedinici", bez obzira na veličinu ili prirodu oglasa. Do 1883. godine cena je bila tri šilinga i šest penija, nakon čega je smanjena na jedan šiling i šest penija.

Mehanizmi implementacije

"
Proizvodi pod akcizom se najčešće obeležavaju posebnom markicom. U slučaju alkohola ili duvana, proizvođačima mogu biti date velike količine ovih markica ili oni mogu biti prinuđeni, od strane države, da ih kupe u velikim količinama; nakon čega se od proizvođača očekuje da markice zalepe na svaku pojedinačnu ambalažu alkohola ili duvana.
Jedan od najinteresantnijih primera ovih mera se vidi u špilu karata, gde je kec pik imao komplikovan dezen, koji je nastao dok su se karte naplaćivale sa carinom na karte.
Još jedan od načina kako su se države postarale da akciza bude naplaćena je monopol nad tim tržištima u vlasništvu države.

Akcize širom sveta

Australija
Australijski zavod za poreze opisuje akcizu kao porez koji se naplaćuje na pojedine proizvode napravljene u Australiji. U ove proizvode se ubrajaju: alkoholna pića, duvanski proizvodi, fosilna goriva i alternativna goriva.

U Australiji termin akciza nije samo akademskog karaktera, nego je bio i predmet polemike na sudu nekoliko puta. Australijski vrhovni sud je u više navrata naglasio da porez može biti akciza nevezano sa time da li je proizvod domaće ili inostrane proizvodnje; najskorije na sudu Novog Južnog Velsa većina je izglasala da je akciza porez unutar države koji se naplaćuje "na određen korak u proizvodnji, prodaji ili distribuciji dobara", gde su zauzeli širok stav što se tiče definicije tog koraka, koji ako ga je moguće oporezovati, postaje akciza.

Kanada
U Kanadi i provincijalna i federalna vlada naplaćuju akcizne poreze na neelastična dobra kao što su cigarete, gorivo, alkohol i klima uređaji za motorna vozila. Veći deo cene cigareta i alkohola je zapravo iznos akcize. Porez na klima uređaje za vozila je trenutno 100 dolara po jedinici. Kanada je jedna od država sa najvećom poreznom stopom na cigarete i alkohol na svetu. Nazivaju se još i porezi na grehe.

Nemačka
U Nemačkoj akciza se naplaćuje na sledeći način:

	Energenti:
	Benzin: €0.6545 /l (c. €0.073 /kWh)
	Dizel: €0.4704 /l (c. €0.047 /kWh)
	TNG: €0.166 /kg (c. €0.0896 /l or €0.0129 /kWh)
	KPG: €0.1803 /kg (c. €0.0139 /kWh)
	Ulje za grejanje: €0.13 /kg (c. €0.0119 /kWh)
	Struja:	Standardna: €0.0205 /kWh, за vozove, tramvaje itd. : €0.01142 /kWh
	Nuklearno gorivo: €145 /g
	Međuproizvodi/poluproizvodi namenjeni za dalju proizvodnju alkoholnih pića:
	Standardna: €1.53 /l
	Sa procentom alkohola <15%: €1.02 /l
	Poluproizvodi namenjeni za proizvodnju šampanjca: €1.36 /l
	Cigarete: €0.0982 /cigarette + 21.69%
	Duvan za lule: €15.66 /kg + 13.13%
	Tompusi: €0.014 /cigar + 1.47%
	Kafa: Pečena: €2.19 /kg, Instant: €4.78 /kg
	Pivo: €0.094 /l
	Šampanjac: Sa procentom alkohola <6%: €0.51 /l, са procentom alkohola >=6%: €1.36 /l
	Alkopops

Indija
Proizvodi koji ispunjavaju sledeće uslove su u Indiji oporezivani akcizom:
	Mora postojati proizvođač
	Proizvođač mora biti iz Indije
	Proizvodnja za rezultat treba da daje dobra
	Ova dobra su automatski podložna akcizi(ova dobra moraju biti navedena u Zakonu o centralnoj akciznoj tarifi, 1985)

Ujedinjeno Kraljevstvo
U Ujedinjenom Kraljevstvu se pojavljuju sledeći oblici akcize:

	Porez za putnike koji lete (Zakon o finansijama 1994)
	Naplata za agregate (Zakon o finansijama 2001)
	Porez na alkoholna pića (porez na pivo, porez na vino, porez na sajdere, porez na žestinu)( Zakon o oporezivanju alkoholnih pića 1979)
	Porez na Bingo (Zakon o oporezivanju kladionica i kockanja 1981)
	Naplata za menjanje klime (Zakon o finansijama 2012)
	Porez na duvan (Zakon o oporezivanju duvana 1994)
	Akcizni porez na vozila (Zakon o registraciji i oporezivanju vozila)

Istorijski gledano, ove poreze je sakupljao Odbor za akcize, koji se naknadno spojio sa Internim Prihodima (koji su bili zaduženi za skupljanje svih ostalih poreza). Kako bi se borili sa organizovanim kriminalom, izbegavanjem akcize, švercovanjem kao i izbegavanjem poreza Odbor za akcize je ujedinjen sa Carinskim odborom formirao HM Carine i Akcize. U ovakvom kombinovanom obliku, ovaj odbor se isključivo bavio uvozom i izvozom dobara u i iz Ujedinjenog Kraljevstva, a njeni zaposleni su imali veću moć od policije da zaplene, pristupe ili preuzmu robu.
Dana 18. aprila 2005. Carine i Akcize su bili spojeni sa Internim Prihodima kako bi se stvorilo novo odeljenje, HM Prihodi i Carine. Ovo se desilo zbog ogromne razlike u moći između ove dve ustanove, koja je prouzrokovala brojne probleme. Ono što je ostalo od stare organizacije bavi se aspektom skupljanja finansija.

Sjedinjene Američke Države

U Sjedinjenim Američkim Državama, termin akciza ima barem dva značenja : (A) bilo koji porez, osim poreza na imovinu i poreza po glavi stanovnika ( akciza je indirektni porez u ustavnopravnom smislu ) ili (B) kao porez koji se jednostavno naziva akciza u pogledu jezika zakona, koji nameće taj porez ( akciza u smislu zakonskog prava, koja se ponekad naziva "raznim akcizama" ). Akciza po definiciji A nije uvek nužno ista kao akciza po definiciji B.

Akciza (po definiciji B) je definisana kao "porez nakon proizvodnje, prodaje ili poslovne licence ili prava, za razliku od poreza na imovinu ili prihode".

Kako federalna, tako i državna vlada ubira porez na robu kao sto su alkohol, motorna goriva, duvanski proizvodi. Zakoni nekih federalnih, ali i državnih vlada nameću akcize, poznate kao porez na dohodak. Iako su federalno akcizne takse geografski uniformne, državne akcize se znatno razlikuju. Oporezivanje predstavlja značajni deo maloprodajnih cena na alkohol i duvanske proizvode.

Lokalne vlasti takođe mogu da uvedu akcize. Na primer, grad Ankoridž na Aljasci, naplaćuje porez na cigarete u iznosu od 1,30 dolara po paketu, koji je iznad federalnog i državnog poreza na akcize. U 2011. godini, američka federalna akciza na benzin je iznosila 18,4 centa po galonu (4,86 L / L) i 24,4 centa po galonu (6,45 L / L) za dizel gorivo.

Kritike
Kritičari akcize su to protumačili i opisali kao način na koji vlada može da nastavi nepotrebno oporezivanje stanovništva. Prisustvo povraćaja poreza po britanskoj listi akciznih aktivnosti korišćeno je da se podrži ovaj argument, kao rezultat to dovodi do toga da se porezi primenjuju na osobe čak i kada bi inače bili oslobođeni plaćanja drugih vrsta poreza (to je i razlog zbog kojeg se oni kvalifikuju za povraćaj novca uopšte ).

Osim toga, akciza se ponekad udvostručuje sa drugim porezima, a posebno sa carinskim porezima (osim za bescarinske proizvode). Ako se roba kupi u jednoj zemlji i kasnije izvozi u drugu, akciza se mora platiti kada je ta roba proizvedena, a zatim se carina plaća kada ta roba uđe u drugu zemlju; u određenom smislu, ta roba je oporezovana dva puta, iako sa stanovišta druge zemlje, ona se pojavila kao oporezovana roba na granici.

U nekim zemljama, kao što je Velika Britanija, akciza je uglavnom ograničena na luksuznu robu ili robu koja predstavlja rizik po zdravlje ili moral, ali to nije slučaj svuda. Oporezivanje lekova i medicinske opreme bilo je predmet sukoba, pogotovo u zemljama koje su u razvoju, zbog činjenice da to može dovesti do toga da cene lekova i medicinskih postupaka povećaju, čak i kada oni mogu potencijalno spasiti ljudske živote; ovo ponekad primorava zdravstvene radnike da ograniče broj izvršenih operacija.

U nekim zemljama, ilegalna roba je podložna akcizama, a osnova za utaju poreza je kasnije korišćena za krivično gonjenje lidera kriminalnih bandi, kada nije bilo moguće krivično goniti njihove kriminalne aktivnosti. Takođe se tvrdi, da su oporezivanjem zabranjenih supstanci, neke američke države u stanju da ostvare dodatne prihode. U nekim slučajevima, zakonodavstvo otvara mogućnost državi da zatvori oči pred određenim kriminalnim aktivnostima, dopuštajući trgovcima da sačuvaju svoju anonimnost i na taj način omoguće prikupljanje prihoda bez hapšenja počinitelja:

Diler nije dužan da da svoje ime ili adresu prilikom kupovine markica, a odeljenju je zabranjeno da deli bilo kakve informacije koje se odnose na kupovinu markica za lekove.

Beyond the Juxtaposition of Nature and Culture
Lawrence Krader, Interdisciplinarity, and the Concept of the Human Being
Edited By Cyril Levitt and Sabine Sander
The essays contained in Beyond the Juxtaposition of Nature and Culture represent an attempt by scholars from Canada, Germany, and Mexico to come to grips with the innovative work of the American philosopher and anthropologist Lawrence Krader who has proposed nothing less than a new theory of nature, according to which there are at least three different orders—the material-biotic, the quantum, and the human—which differ from one another according to their different configurations of space-time, and which cannot be reduced the one to the others. Each author takes up Krader's theory in relation to its impact on their own discipline: sociology, anthropology, the study of myth, the theory of labor and value, economics, linguistics, and aesthetics. The question of how nature and culture can be integrated within a theoretical framework which links them in difference and nexus and allows each their non-reductive space leads each of the contributors to move in their thinking beyond the old dualisms of materialism and idealism, fact and value, nature and culture.

LiveWires Automation Announce Release of Sequence Builder Toolkit
Sequence Builder, the latest toolkit by LabVIEW consultants LiveWires Automation, is now available through the LabVIEW Tools network.
Writing a sequence editor can be a significant task, and this toolkit streamlines and simplifies the process
(PRWEB UK) 12 March 2015
LiveWires Automation, specialists in automation consultancy and LabVIEW development, have announced the release of their latest toolkit through National Instruments' LabVIEW Tools Network. The Sequence Builder toolkit is designed for integration into both new and existing LabVIEW applications, and enables the easy creation and editing of process and test sequences.
Sequence Builder is designed to streamline and simplify the process of creating configurable sequences of steps for multi-step process and test applications. The user simply needs to specify the parameters of the sequence steps, and the toolkit will build a fully-featured sequence editor which can be embedded in the application or run separately. There is no limit to the number of sequences that can be created, and they can be stored in binary or tab delimited format. Users will also be able to modify the sequence editor screen to match the style of their application. The toolkit uses easy-to-follow data flow, with no object-oriented techniques. Sequence Builder by LiveWires Automation is available from the LabVIEW Tools Network at http://sine.ni.com/nips/cds/view/p/lang/en/nid/213124.
A spokesperson for LiveWires Automation said: "We believe that users will find our Sequence Builder toolkit very valuable. Writing a sequence editor can be a significant task, and this toolkit streamlines and simplifies the process, drastically reducing the time needed to complete this stage from weeks to just hours. Unlike other sequence editors, it provides a great level of flexibility, and in some cases it can even allow the use of a single program on several similar but not identical systems."

Refugee teenagers have a particularly difficult time adjusting to life in Amman. Many of them are not in school due to the difficulty in registering and the lack of money for school supplies and tuition. Many others drop out because of bullying and PTSD-related issues. The Teen Group gives boys and girls the opportunity to get together and have fun in a safe space while developing useful life skills. They explore various topics based on their own interests and address the many challenges they face living as refugees in Jordan.
Members of our Teen Group also facilitate activities for the younger children, which encourages them to become more involved in the community and improve their leadership skills. What began as a tentative group of boys and girls has become a dynamic and vibrant team. Their continuous laughter and energy show that they are being encouraged to stand by one another.

This has many adoptive parents asking questions like, what is the adoption tax credit, who's eligible and what does it mean that the adoption tax credit is permanent?

TRUMP TRIAL
Trump impeachment signed off by Nancy Pelosi and delivered to Senate for historic trial after House vote
Nicole Darrah
Liam Quinn
HOUSE Speaker Nancy Pelosi officially signed off on articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump on Wednesday, paving the way for a historic trail over the president's dealings with Ukraine.
The House of Representatives voted largely along party lines, 228-193, transmitting the two articles to the Senate.

Trump's impeachment – the third in US history – will now move from Pelosi's Democratic-run House of Representatives to the Republican-majority Senate, where Trump expects acquittal, even as new evidence is raising fresh questions about his Ukraine dealings.
Pelosi's signing came hours after she had named a team of managers, led by Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff.
The managers then walked the articles across the Capitol, where they were presented to Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell.
The vote comes at the start of a presidential election year and one month after the House impeached Trump.
The president is charged with abuse of power over his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden, using military aid to the country as leverage.
Trump was also charged with obstructing Congress' ensuing probe.
"We are here today to cross a very important threshold in American history," Pelosi said, addressing the House before the vote.
Earlier, she declared: "This is what an impeachment is about. The president violated his oath of office, undermined our national security, jeopardized the integrity of our elections."
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi holds news conference to announce Donald Trump impeachment managers
This morning, Pelosi announced the seven Democratic "managers," or prosecutors, who will lead the impeachment case in the Senate trial.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif., chair of the intelligence committee, and Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y., chair of the Judiciary committee, are among the seven prosecutors.
The other managers include: Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla., Rep. Jason Crow, D-Wis., Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas, and Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif.
WHO ARE THE DEMS ON THE TRUMP HIT SQUAD?
The seven members of the House that will form the prosecution at President Trump's upcoming Senate trial are Adam Schiff, Jerry Nadler, Hakeem Jeffries, Val Demmings, Jason Crow, Sylvia Garcia, and Zoe Lofgren.
Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.
Adam Schiff was elected to Congress in 2001 and now serves as the Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee. He earned a degree in law from Harvard Law School and previously an Assistant United States Attorney in the Central District of California.
He has previously stated: "We need to make sure that our president is operating not in his personal best interests… but because what he is doing is in America's best interest."
Rep. Jerry Nadler, D-N.Y.
Jerry Nadler has served in Congress since 1992 and is now the Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee. He previously worked as a law clerk, and while attending evening classes at the Fordham University School of Law was elected to the New York State Assembly, where he served for 15 years from 1977.
Speaking at the time, he described the impeachment of President Clinton as a "partisan railroad job".
Rep. Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y.
Hakeem Jeffries became a Congressman in 2013 after serving for five years in the New York State Assembly. Since January of last year, he has been the Chair of the House Democratic Caucus.
He attended New York University School of Law and as a corporate lawyer worked for international law firm Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison as well as media companies Viacom and CBS.
Rep. Val Demings, D-Fla.
Val Demmings has been in Congress since 2017. She graduated from Florida State University with a degree in criminology and was a social worker for 18 months before joining the Orlando Police Department in 1983.
She worked for the force for 27 years, and from 2007 until 2011 served as its first female Chief.
Rep. Jason Crow, D-Wis.
Jason Crow is a lawyer and army veteran who entered Congress in 2019. He served three tours of duty in Afghanistan and Iraq, where he was awarded the Bronze Star for his role as a platoon leader in the Battle of Samawah.
He earned his law degree in 2009 from University of Denver Sturm College of Law and later became a partner with the Holland and Hart law firm.
Rep. Sylvia Garcia, D-Texas
Sylvia Garcia was elected to Congress in 2019 after serving for six years in the Texas Senate. She attended Texas Woman's University on a scholarship, graduating with a degree in social work, and then the Thurgood Marshall School of Law.
She served an unprecedented five terms as a presiding judge of the Houston Municipal System, and was later appointed Houston city controller.
Rep. Zoe Lofgren, D-Calif
Zoe Lofgren has served in Congress since 1995 and is currently the Chair of the House Administration Committee. She also serves on the Judiciary Committee, and from 2009 to 2011 was the Chair of the House Ethics Committee.
She earned a law degree from Santa Clara University School of Law, and at the same time worked as a staffer for Congressman Don Edwards, preparing articles of impeachment against President Nixon.
Schiff and Nadler will lead the team, which includes a diverse selection of lawmakers, particularly those with courtroom experience.
Notably, one of the prosecutors, Lofgren, has now played a role in three different impeachment processes: Trump's, and those of former Presidents Richard Nixon and Bill Clinton.

Following Pelosi's announcement, Trump tweeted: "Here we go again, another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats."
"All of this work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!"
Here we go again, another Con Job by the Do Nothing Democrats. All of this work was supposed to be done by the House, not the Senate!
Trump was impeached by the Democratic-led House on December 18 on charges of abuse of power over his pressure on Ukraine to investigate Democratic rival Joe Biden — as Trump withheld aid from the country.
The president was also charged with obstructing Congress' ensuing probe.
Later today, the House is expected to vote to send the impeachment articles to the Senate.
At that point, the managers will walk them across the Capitol to the Senate.
Earlier today, Pelosi said: 'This is an important day. This is about the Constitution of the United States.'Credit: Alamy Live News

There, the managers will deliver a bound copy of the documents to the Secretary of the Senate, Julie Adams.
The Senate's Sergeant at Arms Michael Stenger will cry out, "Hear ye! Hear ye!" and warn assembled senators to be quiet.
He will say: "All persons are commanded to keep silence, on pain of imprisonment, while the House of Representatives is exhibiting to the Senate of the United States articles of impeachment against Donald John Trump, president of the United States."
One of the managers then reads the articles in full from the well of the Senate chamber, before the whole team retreats.
The ritual has been performed only twice before — the last time in 1998 before Bill Clinton's impeachment trial.
Trump's impeachment trial comes as the nation is politically divided, and ahead of the 2020 presidential election.
The Senate is expected to transport into an impeachment court as early as Thursday, but significant proceedings wouldn't begin until next Tuesday.
The Constitution calls for the chief justice to preside over senators, who serve as jurors, to swear an oath to deliver "impartial justice."
McConnell, who is negotiating rules for the trial proceedings, said all 53 Republican senators are on board with his plan to start the session and consider the issue of witnesses later.
Senate Republicans also signaled they would reject the idea of simply voting to dismiss the articles of impeachment against Trump, as Trump himself has suggested. McConnell agreed he does not have the votes to do that.

It was Christmas Eve and NOTHING was going right.
Mrs. Claus had burned all the cookies. The elves were complaining about not getting paid for the overtime they had while making the toys. The reindeer had been drinking all afternoon and were dead drunk. To make matters worse, they had taken the sleigh out for a spin earlier in the day and had crashed it into a tree.
Santa was furious. "I can't believe it! I've got to deliver millions of presents all over the world in just a few hours - all of my reindeer are drunk, the elves are on strike and I don't even have a Christmas tree! I sent that stupid Little Angel out HOURS ago to find a tree and he isn't even back yet! What am I going to do?"

This is a joint statement of various civil society members of Kashmir regarding the near complete black out by the Indian media and some sections of Kashmir media, regarding the recent report alleged Perpetrators – Stories of impunity in Jammu and Kashmir.
On 6 December 2012, the International Peoples' Tribunal on Human Rights and Justice in Indian-administered Kashmir [IPTK] and the Association of Parents of Disappeared Persons [APDP] released its report titled alleged Perpetrators: Stories of Impunity in Jammu and Kashmir that examines 214 cases of human rights violations and for the first time, the role of 500 alleged perpetrators in these crimes. The release of this report, a few days before the Human Rights Day, was an important moment in the ongoing struggle against impunity of the Indian State in Indian-administered Jammu and Kashmir.
The struggle against impunity for human rights violations is the struggle of the people of Jammu and Kashmir as a whole. It is a struggle that is required to be supported by all people of conscience who believe in the concept of human rights and the rights of victims of crimes.
Following the release of the alleged Perpetrators report, the reaction of the media raises worrying issues that need to be critically questioned. While the international media carried out extensive reporting of the issues raised, the reporting of the Indian media, and some segments of the Jammu and Kashmir media was extremely disappointing. It is clear that in the Indian media particularly, and some segments of the Jammu and Kashmir media, there was a near complete black out of this report.
Beyond the reaction to this specific report, it is clear that there has been a worrying long-standing trend, exhibited by biased reporting or non-reporting, of human rights work that indicts the Indian State and its functionaries in Jammu and Kashmir. Even for the release of the report on unmarked and unidentified graves in Jammu and Kashmir in 2009, the response of the Indian media was disappointing. It appears that the responsibility for this lies essentially with the editorial management, and possibly less with the actual reporters on ground.
The media forms a very important part of any struggle against impunity, human rights violations and the misuse of State power. Impunity is furthered when the State is not held accountable. This is an important role of the media. Further, the Indian State carries out crimes in Jammu and Kashmir in the name of the Indian people. The media must therefore ensure that people are provided information on human rights violations by the Indian State in Jammu and Kashmir, failing which the Indian people might find themselves unknowingly party to criminality and human rights violations.
The media cannot allow itself to be subservient to the diktats of the State. This trend of being subservient is particularly troubling when one considers that certain media houses do in fact exhibit substantial power that could withstand the orders of a State. By following the real or perceived preferences/orders of the State, the media itself stands culpable. The dismal or unprofessional role of the Indian media so far has only endorsed the crimes.
It is also important for the media to inform the public about the real circumstances that are often manipulated by certain sections of the media, resulting in the diversion of their tax money from more pressing social necessities towards unnecessary expenditure.
Similarly, the political formations have also remained silent. On trivial issues all political formations compete with each other to issue statements. But, on this grave issue they have preferred to remain silent and exposed their false support for human rights.
The alleged Perpetrators report, and other human rights concerns are a public issue. Serious debate is needed.

T-Ball Division Overview
T-Ball Division (League Age 4-7)
What: T-Ball is the introductory division for Little League baseball. In the T-Ball division the focus is on introducing basic baseball concepts such as hitting, throwing and catching while emphasizing having fun, sportsmanship and team building. We do not keep score in T-Ball games. All batters reach the base each inning and all players score runs. Coaches emphasize encouragement of teammates during games and attempt to highlight the positive contributions of each player.
Who: T-Ball is intended for children who are league ages 4-6 (preschoolers and kindergartners), but players with no experience who are league age 7 (generally first grade) are also eligible. The league attempts to place kids on teams with friends or classmates to ensure that each kid has a positive experience. Please note any teammate requests in the "Teammate Request" Section when you register your child on the McIntire website.
When and Where: The Spring T-Ball season runs from Late-March through early June with approximately 8 regular season games. T-Ball teams play 1 game a week on Saturdays with 1 practice per week. The games usually last about 45-60 minutes. All games are held at McIntire Park's T-ball fie with practices held at various other baseball fields in the Charlottesville area.

TOLDO: "I HAVE DECIDED TO HANG UP MY BOOTS"
"It's the first time I've said it officially and I'm emotional. But I'll continue to work at Inter"
Francesco Toldo, what can you tell us about the initiative unveiled today?
"This is a very important initiative involving Emergency. The funds raised from the photos taken with the European Cup will be used to build a centre for suffering children in the Democratic Republic of Congo."
How did your holidays go and what are your projects for the future?
"The holidays went well. It will be a long holiday this year because I will stop playing. This is the first time I have said it officially and I'm quite emotional because it has been my job for twenty years. However, I will continue to work at Inter and collaborate with Inter Campus to help increase the awareness of this already well-known programme."
Were you expecting to find at Inter what has become your home?
"To tell the truth, no, because I had never made plans of this kind, but once inside I realised straight away what harmony there was, and I don't think the results are a coincidence because winning everything in the last five years indicates a high-level organisation."
From playing a lot to playing less, it hasn't been easy over the last few years. Yet you have always been a person who has cemented the team.
"I think that the whole group has been fair with everybody and honest with the individuals. As a consequence the results came which have been good for the whole Inter environment. So you put personal situations to one side, in favour of the team."
Have you already organised a farewell match?
"No. I won't have one."
Photos: another final, go Wesley!

Q: What do I say to draw back someone's attention? Suppose two people are playing an indoor game (billiards) and there's a television installed nearby where the normal TV channels are being aired. While the two players are deeply engaged in the game, an advertisement (a risque one such as a condom or some such product) comes up where some hot chicks are shown and one person's attention gets diverted towards the TV instead of playing the game. The other person says

Attention!! We have a game to finish

But this sounds really weird. How do I draw back his/her attention back in a preferably humorous, colloquial and mocking way?

A: One that I've seen used rather often is:

Earth to J.R.!

It's meant figuratively. Since the person has "spaced out" from the distraction, his friends call to him as if he were an astronaut in space.
This idiom is listed in TFD as earth to someone. If you Google "Earth to _____", using a name in place of the blank, you can find some excerpts where this is used in fictional works, like these:

"Earth to Tony," Dudley said, snapping his fingers in Tony's face. "I asked where you've been?"
"Earth to David! You can put your tongue back in your mouth!" Amber jealously remarked.
"Madison," Savannah said. "Earth to Madison."
  "Sorry," Madison replied. "My mind wandered."
"Jan? Earth to Jan! Come in, please!"
  "Oh! Sorry. I'm just sorting things out in my head. These have been very full days for me."

A: This question is "wide open" in the sense that you could literally say thousands of things in this situation.
Your own sentence works about as well as anything else you could say. But it does not sound natural. And of course, everybody's definition of what is "humorous" differs.  A few things I can think of, not wishing to be too mocking, include
first, the obvious:

Hey. Are you gonna play or watch TV?

Other possibilites

When you've finished watching TV, let me know so we can resume our game.
Call me when you're done watching TV; I'll be (at the bar, in the car, etc).
Hey, since you're watching TV I guess you won't mind if I skip your turn (or: if I go again).
Is your TV at home broken?
You're exactly the kind of chump they make these type of commercials for.
If I had known you needed a condom I wouldn't have used all mine last night with (your sister, your mother...)

Be careful about the last one. He'd have to be a pretty good buddy to use that one without eliciting a fight.
blah blah ad infinitum...

Home News 'The Lost Daughter' movie review
'The Lost Daughter' movie review
'The Lost Daughter' premiered on Netflix in December.
By Emily-Rose Toohey
In the age of streaming services, the movie landscape has never looked so different.
Netflix is dominating our viewing and in recent years, the platform has tried to catch up with the big league studios and offer prestige programming.
Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal's directorial debut, 'The Lost Daughter', is exactly what Netflix is looking for.
After premiering to positive reviews at Venice Film Festival last September, 'The Lost Daughter' finally made its Netflix debut on 31 December.
Quite honestly, it's a great film.
It stars the always excellent Olivia Colman as a nearly 60-year-old woman who decides to vacation alone to Greece.
She becomes obsessed with a young mother (played by Dakota Johnson) and her daughter as she reflects upon the difficulties of her own motherhood experiences raising her children.
Jessie Buckley plays Colman's younger self in a myriad of flashback sequences that are both affecting and sincere.
Before I continue, however, here's a disclaimer: I am not a mother.
While the movie itself is undeniably emotional, this emotion may be felt particularly strongly by parents – especially mothers.
It offers a look into the struggles of loving your children and wishing for some time away from the sometimes chaotic world of motherhood the film depicts.
It's a quiet movie that allows the audience to sit with its characters and feel their every emotion deeply.
It also asks for your empathy.
This is never more apparent than when it's revealed that Colman's character made a choice to temporarily leave her family life behind.
She is mingled with both debilitating regret and a longing for this same freedom years later as she sits quietly on a beach.
It's messy and it's complicated, and it's beautifully depicted onscreen.
It's a testament to modern storytelling and the genius of female creatives both in front of and most importantly, behind the camera, that a movie like this was even made.
Humans are flawed beings and not everything is easy.
This film shows motherhood like it's never been shown before and it's truly fantastic.
But in all truth, the reality of the tale it tells is also extremely heartbreaking.
'The Lost Daughter' is available now on Netflix.

Lady Lazarus is both a historical fantasy and a magical history of my family. My mother's childhood in Communist Hungary was filled with séances, mediums, and prophetic dreams, and everyday magic was part of the cultural fabric.
Even in America, the technological, I find magic all over the place — it comes up out of the ground, like oil in the Caucasus. And that magic invades my writing. I mean to write straight up stories, but the magic hides in plain sight, and before I know it characters are working spells, flying by night, dreaming of demons.
Let me give you an example of something magical from the everyday world that infused Lady Lazarus. The protagonist, Magda Lazarus, is a witch who hunts for a book called the Book of Raziel, written by her angel Raziel to console humankind after the expulsion from the Garden.
The thing of it is, the book exists—I've held it in my hands. The Book of Raziel is an amulet, a benevolent Jewish magic that you can find in Brooklyn, in Jerusalem, even in Budapest. The book protects the bearer in childbirth, during surgery, and from fire, and I first learned about this book when grateful patients gave it to my husband to protect him, too. My husband is a surgeon, and he has found the Book of Raziel taped over his Hasidic patients' hearts.
According to legend (not my imagination), the angel gave the book to Adam, and it contains angelology, magical astrological formulations, incantations, and amulets. Other legends say that after a period in which the book was lost, the angel Raphael rescued it from the deep and gave it to Noah after the Flood.
It is forbidden to read the Book of Raziel—but fortunately, for reckless people like me who have tried it, the Book is written in the Angelic tongue and has never been properly deciphered, so it is impossible to read and understand the version of the Book that exists. The first bound and printed edition appeared in 1701 in Amsterdam, and reportedly the pages were scrambled on purpose before publication to further render the book unreadable.
I think magic, an emanation of the One that made us, is a way to strengthen people's native power to transcend the evils and dangers they confront in the world. It's lying around like a weapon, like gold, like radium. It's up to us to figure out how to use it.
My family survived the war through a combination of courage, luck, and sheer determination. I'd like to believe that a dash of magic, the intercession of angels, gave them the strength to save themselves, too. Because what is survival in the fire, but a miracle of the first magnitude?
