It has been nearly two full months since I last sat down and played any real measurable time in World of Warplanes.
Up until that point, I had just completed the Operation Dynamo event and parked a premium Supermarine Spitfire Ia in my hangar. As a side quest, I also collected a LaGG-3-4, then proceeded to play a few Japanese offerings....then faded away.
From then until now, I have been rather busy with real life (work, family and another, non-game project which I have a stronger passion for than Planes) so finding the time to come back here, let alone keep up with what was going on and what was yet to come, just wasn't near the top of my list. However, I have caught a few glimpses on the forums (a comment here, a picture there) from the 2.0 CT server and decided to wait for the big day, before making any kind of a return.
At the time of writing all of this, I am only 40% of the way through the download of the update, still a ways to go. Will I like the changes? Hard to say, I have tried to actively avoid the topic of 2.0 and wanted to experience it first hand, free of influence from the comments of others, positive or negative. To be fair, I am not completely oblivious to the major changes this game is about to go through, discussion of this is reached some of the far corners of the internet (and a few real life friends who know me for who I am here), so I did find out some stuff, despite putting fingers in my ears, going "na na na."
Nevertheless, the day has come, the update is underway and I will post my thoughts and a gameplay video or two on this very thread. Stick around.
I won't download it myself. Thanks for being our guinea pig.
If you like War Thunder you may like it but if you like War Thunder you are probably already playing it so why play a copy.
I used to have a handle on life until it broke off.
More like canary in the coal mine.
Well, somebody has to, I suppose. You know those "taste this, it's terrible" moments? A few times I did and it wasn't too bad (at least, I lived to tell the tale).
Because I have more invested in WoWP, and the WT controls are horrible.
We get better controls but we have a horrid UI a UI that makes takes the enjoyment from the game.
The client updated fine, figured I would make sure the video drivers were current as well.
First thing that struck me was the new hangar. What's up with the Zeppelin? Where are the doors to get my aircraft out of here? Seems the aircraft in this environment have a more 3D look to them! After I got over those revelations, I poked around the UI causally, nothing appeared to leap out me is being totally different and warranting a closer look. Another inspection of things told me all of my aircraft were still here, something about one or two vanishing had me a bit worried (not sure were I heard that from).
Now, before you give into the urge of watching the video below, a few things to consider. One, I am a little rusty in the production and editing department, two months of not making this type of content defiantly shows, plus I found out there are no replays for now, so my usual opening scene is missing (if you have seen my previous movies). Secondly, the game is being played in "as installed" state, meaning no custom configurations (like my paint schemes) or key remapping (my old settings didn't make the transfer to the new version, something I corrected in later battles). And finally, I played "cold," as I stated earlier, I logged zero hours on the CT server, so my grey matter and muscle memory was still programed for 1.9.
Flying a fighter, I stuck to the doctrine of going air-to-air as much as possible. However, either the Meteor has lost a lot of it's former performance or the air is a lot stiffer than it was before (this has happened in an earlier update 1.4 or 1.5, can't remember which one for sure). Perhaps, the gravity pull has been cracked up a bit? For whatever reason, the plane felt heavy, slow to turn and a whole lot less maneuverable than memory serves. A very disappointing experience.
I don't particularly like how cluttered my screen has become, debating on relocating/removing the radar scope, for example.
I am not a fan of respawning, despite the fact I died more than once during this encounter. I have learned and accepted that you should get one life to live and by making the most of that, through wise target selection and environmental awareness, one life is all you should need. I believe respawning can and will promote a certain level of carelessness, which will dull the learning curve of the game, making for some less-than-enjoyable battles.
Speed, maneuvers and dogfighting is what I want out of Planes and to a degree, that aspect is still there. During the Meteor battle, I was able to get the drop on enemy aircraft and fire off a lot of rounds, some even hit my intended target too! The loss of the lead indicator is a handicap I could learn, in time, live without. Without this handy tool, I could adapt to zooming in (which is an experience of it's very own) or just eyeball ahead of the target and roll the dice on making some hits.
There are a few other things I didn't experiment with, such as high/low altitude penalties (take a fighter below the deck and see what it does/doesn't do), make notes to myself on boost/weapons cooldowns and a few other items.
As I write this, I have a few more battles under my belt and I still have mixed feelings about things. I can't say for certain that I am fully onboard with the radical changes that came with 2.0, but I am not going to dismiss this title from my computer either. For the next while, I will play out a battle here and there, when I get the time and try to experience more than what I have thus far.
Low alt penalty is completely removed - you can take a Banshee all the way down and fight like you are at optimal altitude.
Good for you to make your own judgment though.
I am deaf, silent, and fly with unrealistic controls. Do not count on me to carry - my back's already broken from overweight.
I cannot believe that WG considered this game "ready for release". It looks/feels/plays like it's unfinished. I believe that WG had a timetable for 2.0 and that all the development time has run out----they've now decided to dump 2.0 on us as is, warts and all.
The real reason that 1.9 and 2.0 did not remain separate (and available) ??? Because no one with access to 1.9 would play 2.0 as it is right now.
Edited by Swearengen5, 12 October 2017 - 08:29 PM.
That would explain a few things.
Oh? Why would they do that (wait, don't answer that)?
I doubt I will make a final call on 2.0 anytime soon, still on the fence about a few things.
It looks/feels/plays like it's unfinished.
Based on my experience so far, I agree.
Edited by Quesnel, 12 October 2017 - 10:25 PM.
Despite 2.0 being the "Bomber Update," I don't want to abandon my efforts with Fighters.
I spent a great deal of time attempting to learn and practice the "Boom and Zoom" along with the "Turn and Burn" playstyles, in a serious effort to step away from my comfort zone of flying Ground Attack aircraft, usually in their traditional role. Granted, I never became a master in this class, but I did discover the challenges and rewards of fighting up high, as opposed to tending to the garden below. However, that was all pre-2.0.
Now, with the sweeping changes to the game, from the graphical displays absent from combat, stiffer movements from the aircraft themselves and having to spend a fair amount of time adjusting my keyboard and mouse control scheme to mirror 1.9 settings, would all of my previous efforts have been for nothing?
Now, if you watched that like a entertaining and somewhat amusing TV commercial, you saw a lot of action, a crowded sky and yours truly dying twice in a very epic fashion. However, if you viewed that with the critical eye of a professional movie critic, you picked up on a lot more, such as the regenerating health/hit point bar, the lack of serious performance penalties (altitude and maneuvering) and perhaps even more things I haven't listed here.
Not to take away from the effort I put into this sortie, but I felt the game....somehow helped me, to achieve this victory. What are your thoughts?
Well... I didn't played a "Live" 2.Oh game, just a few on the test server (but what I've seen on your videos is not quite different), not my game. I'll be following from time to time to see if anything changes for better, and maybe sometime I'll rejoin. By now, clear skies and tail winds!
It was nice and sometimes fun. Not anymore.
With the launch of World of Warplanes 2.0, there seems to be a giveaway celebration going on.
Announced here, I quickly collected the Corsair Promotion (after completing a few tasks to earn points for the whole reward) and then checked my email for a Bomb and Respawn 2.0 message (got something called the Carrier Bundle, not exactly sure what was deposited in my hangar from that).
I am sure I received some really great stuff, but there was one new acquisition that I couldn't wait to try out....THE FRENCH PLANE!
While others may have purchased one or more before now and some might have even collected them from Missions, I never got around to laying my hands on a single aircraft, until now. Not that I am a conscientious collector....but not having one of these "blue birds" made the fleet feel incomplete.
So, after playing out over a dozen battles in Update 2.0, here are some of my thoughts, for those of you interested in reading them.
While Conquest isn't an original to Planes concept (quite a few people out there are quick to point out another game of this genre that has the very same thing), it does offer an alternative to the same old - same old Team Deathmatch mode that has been the mainstay to this game since it's inception. However, the grievous error came by forcing it as the only choice to play the game, turning off and away quite a few members from an already small playerbase.
Although too late to suggest and implement now, but perhaps having both modes available as a selectable option (as seen in other WarGaming titles) and collecting statistics from those player choices might have smoothed out the current mixed emotional situation before it even started (if Deathmatch is just on a temporary hiatus and will return in the next few updates from now, making an announcement about that very soon might also help matters).
The removal of Birthday Missions (although announced to return) was enough reason for some people to not login and play for a bit. With no goals to try and complete, why bother?
As for the gameplay itself, I have gotten used to the ingame changes to how the aircraft fly and perform (more or less) and configured my controls to offer up results that nearly mirror my 1.9 settings as close as I can get them. I can't understand why they were reset or who thought that was even a good idea to do so, but I just quietly fixed the problem and moved on.
For me, there is a lot of missing information from my screen as I try to do battle in 2.0, that was there in 1.9 and before. I certainly hope this is also returned in a near future update as a form of partial restoration or a selectable option from the Settings menu (I may consider installing a mod that does this, from a trusted source of course). Some people can honestly relate to just how critical it is to know particular things concerning the aircraft, it's current state and knowing who/what is going on in the environment around them, it's been know to be a game changer.
There are some superficial things I really like (such as the former El Halluf, now just known as North Africa, complete with pyramids) and some I don't (a few enemy planes I have shot up and caused them to explode right in front of me, at very close range, left me seeing spots for a few seconds). Some sounds and music are an immersive improvement, others are just downright annoying.
I find myself with agreeing with many others that this does feel like an unfinished product and a lot of work needs to be done to it yet. Some players may return in future updates, if some of what I covered above (and more that I haven't) happens. Others have had enough, their patience finally running out with this final straw for them and have left, perhaps for good.
In the meantime, I will still play here and there, waiting and seeing what will happen next.
Although I can't quite put my finger on why, but I have always been drawn to the unique design of the Bell P-39 Airacobra. Perhaps, it was the unusual mid engine layout, or even it's odd football-with-wings shape, I have given up trying to rationalize the draw to it long ago. Despite that, I had never owned any prototype or production version in Planes, until now.
Part of the recent Corsair Promotion, along with the French SE 100 Heavy Fighter, I have now put the Naval prototype, tier V XFL Airabonita into my fleet.
The armament configuration isn't new, two machine guns supporting a heavy, large caliber cannon, many other aircraft in the game have this kind of setup. It was the low to mid altitude maneuverability and weapons package together I was looking forward to, especially with the changes in 2.0.
I have flown this before, including the higher tiered, Soviet marked P-39Q-15 in previous CT servers and produced mixed results based on the mechanics and adversaries of those pre-2.0 versions.
Despite most of the damage I am producing comes from the machine guns, when I do score a hit on the proverbial mosquito with the big meteor cannon, it hurts them, badly. So far, the XFL is doing alright, more flights and practice might help. Perhaps, it's time to consider putting a higher tiered, better armed Bell P-63 Kingcobra into the game?
A strategy I have been experimenting with is assisting with capturing the nearest points, defending those areas as much as possible and when the Squall Line is activated (when respawning is turned off), go on the offensive against enemy aircraft. So far, it appears to be working not too bad, if I can maintain some consistency. A few more battles will show me if I am on the right track with this, or not.
If there is one aircraft that 2.0 has made huge impact one, it's the tier V premium Curtiss P-40 M-105.
This Lend-Lease, Soviet powered, American plane was mediocre at best in the pre-2.0 days. Poor climb rate, due to a highly asthmatic engine and machines guns that felt considerably weaker than it's American counterparts, it wasn't a whole lot of fun to fly. Sure, I might have had a few great matches in mine, but those were rare and very reliant on the circumstances playing into my favor.
I played it from a defender/interceptor role and didn't bother with the optional wing mounted rockets. I was amazed I was able to climb up to where the enemy bombers were flying and took a few down for good measure. The machine dealt out slow, but fairly reliable damage and diving down on adversarial attack aircraft paid back the dividends.
Granted, one battle doesn't set the standard for future expectations, but this sortie does show promise from the changes that came with the latest update, especially for this aircraft.
If you have a Fw190D, Tier VII, I want you to try an experiment with it and post the results here.
At battle start, roof it until it stalls, then hands off the controls and just watch what happens.

UPDATE: Austin Police: Bombing Suspect Left Taped 'Confession'
A law enforcement official identified the suspect as Mark Anthony Conditt of Pflugerville
STEPHANIE FEDERICO, KUT / Associated Press / HPM Digital Team

THE LATEST on the Austin bombings (all times local):
APD, local, state and federal partners provide update on Austin package bomb murder investigation. https://t.co/5w8F6lmijS
— Austin Police Dept (@Austin_Police) March 21, 2018
Police have discovered a 25-minute recording on a cellphone found with bombing suspect Mark Conditt and Austin Police Chief Brian Manley says he considers it a "confession."
Manley says at a news conference that Conditt talks on the recording in great detail about the differences among the bombs he built.
He says that the tape is "the outcry of a very challenged young man."
Officials say the 23-year-old Conditt blew himself up in his vehicle overnight as authorities closed in on him.
An official with the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives says the agency is reasonably certain there are no other devices "out in the public," but he urges caution.
ATF Special Agent in Charge Fred Milanowski made the comments at a Wednesday afternoon news conference. FBI agent Chris Combs echoed Milanowski's sentiment, saying "we think we're on top of this, but we just don't know."
On Twitter, Austin police asked the public to "remain vigilant."
After bombing suspect Mark Conditt's death early Wednesday, authorities expressed concern there may be other package bombs circulating in public.

Friend: Suspect was assertive, "intimidating"
A friend of the suspected Austin bomber says he was an assertive person who would end up being "dominant and intimidating in conversation."
Jeremiah Jensen tells the Austin American-Statesman that he was close to Mark Anthony Conditt in 2012 and 2013. Jensen says they were both homeschooled in the same Pflugerville community and he would often go to the Conditt home for lunch after church on Sundays. He says they also attended Bible study and other activities together.
Jensen says, "I have no idea what caused him to make those bombs."
He says Conditt came from a good family, was athletic and a "deep thinker." He added that Conditt was "really rough around the edges" when they met.
Jensen says Conditt would "end up being kind of dominant and intimidating in conversation … He really just wanted to tell the truth. What I remember about him he would push back on you if you said something without thinking about it."
Authorities say they've recovered homemade explosives from inside the home of the man responsible for planting a series of bombs around Austin.
The Austin Police Department and federal authorities said in a statement Wednesday afternoon that they were "working to safely remove and dispose of" the explosives at a home on Second Street in Pflugerville, just north of Austin.
That's the home suspected serial bomber Mark Conditt shared with roommates.
Authorities evacuated four blocks around the home "in an abundance of caution."
Police say Conditt built five bombs that exploded over three weeks, killing two people and severely wounding four others. He used one of his own devices to blow himself up overnight as a SWAT team closed in.
COO: FedEx gave authorities key evidence
A top FedEx executive says the company provided key evidence that helped identify the suspect in the bombings around Austin.
Chief Operating Officer David Bronczek said in a note to employees that FedEx was able to give the information to law enforcement "because of our advanced security capabilities and the vigilance of our team members."
Bronczek did not describe the information that FedEx provided, and company representatives declined to comment further. But Rep. Michael McCaul, chairman of the U.S. House Homeland Security Committee, said the suspect's "fatal mistake" was mailing a package from a FedEx store because it gave authorities surveillance video that showed him and his vehicle, including the license plate number.
Officials say the suspect, 23-year-old Mark Conditt, blew himself up in his vehicle overnight as authorities closed in on him. He is suspected of sending the package that blew up on a conveyer belt in a FedEx facility in Schertz, Texas, and another parcel with an unexploded bomb that was discovered at a FedEx facility near the Austin airport.
Police were searching the Pflugerville home of an Austin bombing suspect who died early this morning as a SWAT team approached his vehicle in Round Rock.
Interim Austin Police Chief Brian Manley said the 23-year-old suspect detonated a bomb as officers surrounded his vehicle; an officer also fired at him. It was unclear whether he died from the blast or from gunfire.
"The suspect is deceased and has significant injuries from a blast that occurred from detonating a bomb inside his vehicle," Manley said.
The chairman of the U.S. House Homeland Security committee says authorities seem to think the Austin bombing suspect had "above average intelligence."
Republican Congressman Michael McCaul told The Associated Press on Wednesday that the suspect matched the FBI's initial profile suspicion that the bomber was likely a white male. But he says a psychological profile probably won't be known until investigators go through Mark Conditt's writings and social media postings.
Authorities say Conditt blew himself up overnight in his vehicle in a hotel parking lot in another suburb as a SWAT team closed in on him.
McCaul says the suspect bought nails and other bomb-making equipment at a Home Depot but bought batteries for the devices on the Internet.

Bombing suspect Mark Conditt's family says they are "devastated and broken" at the news of his involvement.
The Conditt family released a statement Wednesday afternoon expressing shock and grief, as well as offering their "prayers for those families who have lost loved ones … and for the soul of our Mark."
Conditt's uncle, Mike Courtney, tells The Associated Press he doesn't "know that anybody saw this coming." Courtney described his nephew as a smart, intelligent and kind "computer geek."
The family's statement says they had "no idea of the darkness that Mark must have been in."
Investigators have detained two roommates of the Austin bombing suspect. One roommate was detained, questioned and released. The other is currently being questioned. Their names will not be released because they are not under arrest at this time. APD PIO
Authorities have detained two people who lived with bombing suspect Mark Conditt.
Austin police said Wednesday that one roommate was questioned and later released, while the second was still being held for questioning.
Authorities did not release the names of the roommates, explaining that they have not been placed under arrest.
Federal and state law enforcement agencies earlier Wednesday issued a news release saying a federal criminal complaint and arrest warrant were issued Tuesday night for Conditt on a charge of unlawful possession and transfer of a destructive device.
Officials say the 23-year-old Conditt blew himself up overnight in a suburban Austin parking lot as a SWAT team closed in on him. They say his motives remain unknown.

Authorities have publicly identified the dead Austin bombing suspect as 23-year-old Mark Conditt, of Pflugerville.
Federal, state and local law enforcement agencies issued a news release Wednesday saying a federal criminal complaint and arrest warrant were issued Tuesday night for Conditt on a charge of unlawful possession and transfer of a destructive device.
The agencies say the investigation remains open and the documents remain under seal. They also repeated their warning that members of the public should report anything that looks suspicious, as there may still be bombs that haven't been found.
Authorities say Conditt blew himself up overnight in a suburban Austin parking lot as a SWAT team closed in on him. They say his motives remain unknown.
Conditt is suspected of having planted four bombs in Austin this month that killed two people and seriously injured four others.
A neighbor of the Austin bombing suspect's parents says the couple homeschooled all four of their children.
Jeff Reeb said Wednesday that Mark Conditt's parents educated Conditt and his three younger sisters at their home in the Austin suburb of Pflugerville. The sisters ares 21, 18 and 13.

ATF sought bombing suspect's arrest Tuesday
Partially unsealed federal court documents show that agents from the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms were ready to arrest Mark Anthony Conditt on Tuesday on a charge alleging he had received, possessed or transferred destructive devices.
A U.S. Magistrate Judge heard by phone Tuesday an ATF agent's request to issue an arrest warrant for Conditt and signed the warrant electronically.
Many of the court documents remained sealed on Wednesday, including two orders from the magistrate and the cause for the warrant.
No other people are named in the criminal complaint cover sheet, which says Conditt is wanted for offenses between March 2, when the first bomb went off, and Tuesday, when the warrant was signed.
Governor Abbott says cellphone data helped crack case
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says the cellphone number of the Austin bombing suspect was of interest to law enforcement before he was captured on surveillance video at a FedEx store.
Abbott told reporters Wednesday that authorities used cellphone traffic data to put the suspect at the site of the explosions around Austin. He says the suspect's phone number drew the attention of investigators.
Police haven't released the suspect's name, but a law enforcement official who was briefed on the investigation identified him as Mark Anthony Conditt. The official wasn't authorized to discuss the case publicly and spoke on the condition of anonymity.
Abbott also said that among the items the suspect purchased at a Home Depot were five signs saying "CAUTION CHILDREN AT PLAY." He says he was told a tripwire that injured two men on Sunday in southwest Austin was tied to one of the signs, which would be consistent with what authorities have previously said about how the explosive was rigged.
Police said earlier Wednesday that the suspect was 24 years old, but Conditt is listed as 23 years old on his driver's license and other official documents.

Lawmaker says going to FedEx store cracked case
A Republican congressman from Texas says the Austin bombing suspect bought a lot of his bomb-making equipment from a Home Depot store in his hometown.
U.S. Rep. Michael McCaul, a Republican from Austin who is chairman of the House Homeland Security Committee, told KXAN-TV that authorities retraced the suspect's steps after he was caught on surveillance video at an Austin-area FedEx store. McCaul says investigators obtained the suspect's license plate number and were able to identify him, then track what he purchased at a Home Depot.
Authorities have not released the suspect's name, but a law enforcement official who was briefed on the investigation identified him as Mark Anthony Conditt.
Authorities say Conditt blew himself up overnight as a SWAT team approached his SUV in a motel parking lot outside of Austin.

Bombing suspect's SUV hauled away by police
The SUV where the Austin bombing suspect blew himself up has been hauled away.
Crews loaded the red vehicle and two large white vans that apparently forced the SUV off the road onto flat-bed trucks which then drove away.
Bomb squads subsequently began checking the ground under where the vehicles had been parked.
Authorities say the 24-year-old suspect blew himself up as a SWAT team approached his SUV, which had been parked in a motel parking lot in the Austin suburb of Round Rock.
Investigators believe he made all four of the bombs that were planted around Austin this month and that killed two people and injured four others.

Police clear area near bombing suspect's home
Pflugerville police have begun evacuating the area around the home of the Austin bombings suspect and federal authorities are preparing to deploy an anti-explosives robot.
Pflugerville police Cmdr. Keith Ritchie says the FBI told local police to evacuate the area late Wednesday morning. Reporters waiting nearby are being pushed back and neighbors are being evacuated from their homes.
Ritchie says the order came after investigators searched the suspect's home and surrounding area.
He says he doesn't know what prompted the order.
An ATF vehicle could be seen arriving and officials were unloading an anti-blast robot.
Neighbor says bombing suspect seemed 'smart'
A neighbor who watched the Austin bombing suspect grow up says he "always seemed like he was smart" and "polite."
Jeff Reeb said Wednesday that he's lived next to the parents of Mark Anthony Conditt for about 17 years and that they are good neighbors.
Reeb says Mark Conditt and his grandson played together into middle school and that Conditt still visits his parents regularly.
The parents live a few miles from the Pflugerville home where Mark Conditt lived with roommates. Reeb says Conditt was in the process of gutting the house and remodeling it, which meant a lot of hammers and nails around frequently.
He says police had an unmarked car parked near Conditt's parents' house overnight into Wednesday. He says Condit's father, whom he called Pat, worked as an Amway distributor and also bought electronics on the side to resell.

Bombing suspect didn't finish community college
Austin Community College spokeswoman Jessica Vess said in an email Wednesday that the suspected Austin bomber was a student there from 2010 to 2012 but didn't graduate. Vess said Mark Anthony Conditt hadn't attended the school since that time. She said the school is working with Austin police to provide any information they need.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott says that at this point, investigators believe the Austin bombing suspect acted alone.
Abbott told Austin's KXAN-TV on Wednesday that "everything that we have right now shows he acted alone," but he cautioned that the investigation is ongoing.
Abbott says the suspect had no known military experience or criminal record.
He also says it is unclear if the bombs were made at the suspect's house or perhaps at the motel where he was arrested.
Abbott says investigators were watching the suspect for 24 hours, that his cell phone pinged in several different locations and that a key break in the case came when witnesses saw him at several stores wearing a blonde wig that looked odd to others.
"We are completely unable to rule out the existence of any other bombs."

The Austin bombing suspect doesn't appear to have left much of a trail on social media, but in 2012 posts on what appears to be his personal blog he expressed opinions about a range of topics, including gay marriage.
A law enforcement official identified the suspect as Mark Anthony Conditt of Pflugerville. The official, who has been briefed on the investigation, spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity because the official was not authorized to discuss the case publicly.
A suspect in the string of bombings in Austin this month is dead. Interim Austin Police Chief Brian Manley says the suspect detonated a bomb as officers surrounded him in his vehicle in Round Rock.
Manley said the suspect was a white male. A law enforcement source told KUT his name was Mark Anthony Conditt. The 23-year-old lived in Pflugerville. He had no record of military service, as some had speculated.
Officials believe he was responsible for all the bombing incidents since March 2, but are unsure of a motive.
OIS https://t.co/cSvgqOv9nW
"We still need to remain vigilant to ensure that no other packages or devices have been left through the community," Manley said.
Interim Austin Police Chief Brian Manley says a suspect in the Austin bombings detonated an explosive in his vehicle in Round Rock this morning.
Manley said surveillance teams located a vehicle linked to the suspect parked at a hotel in Round Rock. As they waited for a tactical unit to arrive, the vehicle drove away. Law enforcement pursued the suspect, who stopped in a ditch along the I-35 Frontage Road. As the APD SWAT team approached, Manley said, the suspect detonated a bomb. An officer also shot at him.
"We can recognize that this is really good news. … There's no doubt in law enforcement that this is the responsible guy," Austin Mayor Steve Adler told KUT. "[But] it's absolutely true the investigation is continuing. We don't know where he's been the last 24 hours, and there are other outstanding questions. So, we're asking the community to continue to stay vigilant."
On Fox News this morning, Gov. Greg Abbott praised federal, state and local law enforcement officials for the "quintessential example of a team effort to get to bottom of this as quickly as possible, to save as many lives as possible."
He referred to the suspect as the "mastermind" in the bombings and said he had been on law enforcement's radar for a couple days.
"I think there is a treasure trove of … digital information [in his house] that should shed light more upon who he is, what he was doing and why he was doing it," he told Fox.
Law enforcement officials enter the Pflugerville home of Danene and William Patrick Conditt, the parents of Mark Anthony Conditt. Mark Anthony Conditt, a suspect in the Austin serial bombings, died as police surrounded his car.
Conditt attended Austin Community College from 2010-2012, but did not graduate. Next-door neighbor Jeff Reeb didn't say there was anything unusual about him.
"He was a young kid that grew into an older kid, who left his parents' house and went on, as I understood, and bought his own house and stuff – just like anyone else would," he said.
President Trump tweeted about the news this morning:
AUSTIN BOMBING SUSPECT IS DEAD. Great job by law enforcement and all concerned!
Five explosions have taken place across the city and in the San Antonio suburb of Schertz since March 2, killing 39-year-old Anthony Stephan House and 17-year-old Draylen Mason and injuring four others.
On Tuesday, two package bombs were found at FedEx facilities – one in Schertz and another on McKinney Falls Parkway by the Austin-Bergstrom International Airport. The first package exploded on a conveyor; the second was defused by authorities. Authorities linked the packages to a FedEx Office in Sunset Valley.

Byronic
bye-ron-ick
The term "Byronic" is used to describe anything that exhibits the characteristics of Lord Byron's writing or evokes the type of life he led.
E.g. The protagonist of the novel was a troubled, isolated figure, displaying a Byronic attitude to life.
Byronic characters, scenes, actions, and structures are moody, mysterious, alluring, and usually dark. Commonly, the word "Byronic" is paired with "hero," describing a very specific type of character seen throughout a wide range of genres.

Definition of Byronic
"Byronic" refers to something that shares common features with Lord Bryon's life and/or literary works.
If a character is Byronic, then they likely have dark features, a brooding and emotionally turbulent personality, and a willingness to go to the extreme.
Byronic characters, scenes, and events share many of the same features as seen in Gothic literature.
Who Was Lord Byron?
Lord Byron, born Lord George Gordon Byron, was one of the leading figures of the Romantic movement. He was born on the 22nd of January 1788 in Dover and is widely regarded as one of the greatest English-language poets of all time. His work is still commonly read by poetry lovers and scholars alike. His poetic works include 'Hours of Idleness,' 'Lara, A Tale,' and 'Hebrew Melodies.'
Today, he's regarded as a historical celebrity. He was well-known during his lifetime, loved by some and hated by others. He was outspoken, exciting, and as Lady Caroline Lamb put it, 'mad, bad, and dangerous to know.' His narrative poetry and satire are juxtaposed with his beautiful lyrics like 'She Walks in Beauty.' Byron died in Missolonghi on 19th April 1824. When speaking about Byron's death, a youthful Alfred Lord Tennyson is described by Anne Isabella Thackeray with this passage:
Byron was dead! I thought the whole world was at an end," he once said, speaking of those bygone days. "I thought everything was over and finished for everyone — that nothing else mattered. I remembered I walked out alone and carved 'Byron is dead' into the sandstone."

Wuthering Heights by Emily Brontë
Wuthering Heights is, without a doubt, Emily Brontë's best-known work. In it, readers are introduced to Heathcliff, a brooding young man of mysterious origins. He has dark features, a short temper, and none of the characteristics of high society. His relationship with Catherine Earnshaw, an equally ill-tempered youth, is at the heart of the novel. His character evolves subtly throughout the novel. Here is a quote from the book in which he lets his emotions show after Catherine's death:
Catherine Earnshaw, may you not rest as long as I am living. You said I killed you–haunt me then. The murdered do haunt their murderers. I believe–I know that ghosts have wandered the earth. Be with me always–take any form–drive me mad. Only do not leave me in this abyss, where I cannot find you! Oh, God! It is unutterable! I cannot live without my life! I cannot live without my soul!
Here is an example of how Byronic characters take life and its events to the extreme. His entire existence has revolved around Catherine in one way or another, and now, with her passing, he demands that she haunt him as the murdered haunt their murderers.

She Walks in Beauty by Lord Byron
'She Walks in Beauty' is one of Byron's best-known and most characteristic poems. It was written after Byron met his cousin, Mrs. John Wilmont. She wore a spangled black mourning dress, and Byron was so struck by her beauty that he was inspired to write 'She Walks in Beauty.'
The speaker's awe at the woman's beauty is at the center of the poem. It comes across like the awe one would experience when looking at a pristine natural scene or a work of art. Here are the first few lines:
She walks in beauty, like the night
Of cloudless climes and starry skies;
And all that's best of dark and bright
Meet in her aspect and her eyes;
Thus mellowed to that tender light
Which heaven to gaudy day denies.
In these lines, the romantic elements of Byronic writing come through clearly. His speaker admires this woman's beauty in a way that places it above all other sights one might encounter.
Read more of Lord Byron's poetry.
Byron's heroes have influenced a wide variety of authors. Including the following characters:
Heathcliff from Emily Brontë's Wuthering Heights
Edmond Dantes from Alexandre Dumas' The Count of Monte Cristo
Mr. Rochester from Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre
Steerforth from Charles Dickens' David Copperfield
Eugene Onegin from Alexander Pushkin's Eugene Onegin
What are the characteristics of a Byronic hero?
Byronic heroes are brooding, deep, dark, mysterious, arrogant, sexually alluring, self-destructive, and usually have some past trauma that drives them.
What is Byronic attitude?
Someone with a Byronic attitude is proud of their identity, sometimes cynical, proud but filled with deep emotion. This character might hide the latter behind what appears to be a cold exterior.
What is Byronic love?
Byronic love is not concerned with the traditional features of relationships. Characters don't care about age, race, or differences in social status (such as in Wuthering Heights). The choice to love which one wants is often featured.
Who made the Byronic hero?
The Byronic hero is named after George Gordon, better known as Lord Byron. His writing and the complex array of characters he created, inspired the term. The characteristics of a Byronic hero were also influenced by Byron's personality and how he lived his life.
What's the difference between a romantic hero and a Byronic hero?
A romantic hero lacks the danger that a Byronic hero has. The latter is likely to be rougher around the edges than a romantic hero is.

The New PC for the New Enterprise
To say that the writing is on the wall for the trusty enterprise workstation is probably going a bit too far. But even though PCs are likely to continue and even thrive in a multi-device ecosphere, it is also true that they will only do so through adaptation and specialization.
By Arthur Cole | Posted Apr 14, 2011
Page of | Back to Page 1
It seems that some, but not all, of the PC manufacturers get this. While there has been no hesitation by leading vendors to jump onto the mobile and handheld bandwagon, there are only a few examples of any real change to general-purpose PC lines.
One of the few is HP's new Z Workstation family, headlined by the Z210 -- an entry-level machine targeted at video, graphics and image processing. The company has released it on a mini-tower or a compact SFF platform, configured around Core i3/i5/i7 or Xeon E3 processors, the latter of which feature an integrated GPU. It also can be had with optional dual-graphics-card packages from AMD and Nvidia that support up to four 2-D displays.
It's arguable, though, that a specialized graphics machine is the low-hanging fruit in PC circles. Lenovo seems to have a broader target in mind with the ThinkStation E30 and ThinkCentre M81 lines. Aimed at heavy data users like engineering firms and financial institutions, the machines are tricked out with USB 3.0 and SATA 3 support, along with the company's Enhanced Experience 2.0 module that provides optimized file and settings management for faster boot-up and shut-down. A new Power Management utility helps cut energy consumption in half.
Lenovo is also front-and-center when it comes to cloud-ready workstations. In conjunction with Intel, the company has developed a technology called Cloud Ready Clients (CRCs) that enables more efficient use of cloud resources. Available only on Core and Core vPro machines, the package provides a number of APIs that allow them to seek out systems and devices that provide an optimal cloud experience. This has the added effect of reducing the machine's overall consumption of enterprise resources.
And it seems that faster, better and more powerful won't be the exclusive domain of portable devices either. Workstation-enabling technologies like ASUS's new P6X58-E motherboard are pushing performance to even greater levels. The device features two single Gb LAN connections, plus additional bandwidth for each graphics card via a dedicated expansion slot controller. It also boasts three x16 PCI-E channels, along with 6 GB SATA and USB 3.0.
The rise of the cloud and ubiquity of online apps and services mean that for most workers, the PC-as-access device is overkill -- kind of like driving to the supermarket in a monster truck.
For applications that really need them, the PC will have all the horsepower that it has always had, and then some. But the trend lines indicate they will soon cease to be the general-purpose data tool in the enterprise. They're simply too big for that.

Rizzo The Rat Joins Disney Tradition of Rodent Restaurants
PizzeRizzo Opening Nov 18, 2016 at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Remy, the star rat in Disney's Ratatouille film once made appearances at Chefs de France in Epcot. Disney even named their flagship restaurant on the Disney Cruise Line fleet after him! Following that tradition of rodent-inspired restaurants (I'm looking at you Chef Mickey's), PizzeRizzo will open in Muppets Courtyard at Disney's Hollywood Studios on Nov. 18, 2016. The theme is inspired by Rizzo the Rat as well as his extended family and friends who have infested (oops I mean, visited) PizzeRizzo over the years.
Entrees are served with a side Caesar salad, and include personal-sized Pizza Pies, available in four varieties—vegetable, pepperoni, meat lovers and cheese, as well as a Meatball Sub. And, for Guests wanting a lighter option, the Antipasto Salad features a bed of Romaine lettuce piled high with tomatoes, Mozzarella, Kalamata olives, ham, pepperoni, salami and Balsamic Vinaigrette.
Dessert includes traditional Italian sweets like Cannoli and Tiramisu. Specialty drinks will also be available, including a non-alcoholic Peach Bellini, and a Wildberry-Basil Lemonade Limoncello in addition to beer and wine for adults.
With the exception of Via Napoli, pizza at Walt Disney World is of the theme park variety and not necessarily that of a genuine pizzeria. In short, it's usually not that great. I'd welcome any reviews of PizzeRizzo here on the blog.

Should You Be Concerned About The BMI Win?
Whether Performance Rights Organizations can or should be able to offer fractional or full licenses has become quite a confusing issue. While BMI states Tuesday's ruling means business as usual with radio, the NAB is not so sure about that. There's also a hint from the NAB statement that this ruling may put a damper on the working relationship between the two organizations and it may also result in less airplay of popular songs on the radio.
NAB EVP of Communications Dennis Wharton said the NAB is extremely disappointed with the court's decision allowing fractional licensing. "If sustained, this decision could disrupt the music licensing marketplace and impede the delivery of music to listeners and viewers, resulting in less airplay of their favorite songs. For decades, NAB and BMI have had a mutually beneficial relationship that has benefited songwriters, broadcasters, and tens of millions of listeners who enjoy hearing their favorite songs on free and local radio and television. We look forwarding to finding common ground with our songwriter friends to continue that partnership." The only additional step in this process would be for the Department of Justice to take the matter to the Supreme Court.
While BMI says it went to the DOJ three years ago to get the consent decree modernized, the NAB has said that both BMI and ASCAP attempted to weaken the consent decrees. The NAB told its members last month that the DOJ did a thorough multi-year review and rejected the proposed modifications from BMI and ASCAP. The NAB supported that rejection. DOJ interpreted the consent decree to mean for full works or 100% licensing, not fractional licensing. Before the DOJ interpretation, the PRO's had already been operating with the ability to offer fractional licenses. BMI argues that if there are two collaborators on a song, a full-work license means only one of those songwriters needs to give approval on that song and that's unfair to the other songwriter. The NAB goes on to say that federal court judge Louis Stanton misinterpreted the consent decree and rejected the DOJ interpretation.
Broadcast attorney John Garziglia says what BMI is doing with fractional licensing will hurt radio. "It would put the onus on radio stations to ascertain whether a work licensed by BMI has the additional possibly multiple consents and licenses in order to be played on the air, rather than putting the onus on itself (BMI) to only hold out as theirs those works that radio stations can safely play without incurring significant copyright infringement liability." BMI argues this issue is resolved when radio takes a blanket license with every PRO.
Garziglia says before this litigation, radio stations thought they were buying the right to play "songs" from BMI. "They did not think they are buying the right to negotiate with individual songwriters — that is BMI's bailiwick. In my view, BMI may be lighting the fuse on a sea change in radio music licensing that eventually blows up BMI's entire business model. If BMI is saying it cannot be relied upon to license the songs it purports to license, then why should there be a statutory blanket license at all?"
Broadcast attorney Frank Montero says upholding fractional licensing will likely be a set back for radio as it further complicates the compliance regime and financial obligation for broadcasters who already pay BMI, ASCAP, SESAC, GMR, and for streaming SoundExchange. "Now they must cope with fractional licensing. The DOJ's 2016 interpretation ruled that the BMI consent decree called for "full works" or 100% licensing, so broadcasters were only required to obtain a license from one of the songwriters. The District Court overturned that interpretation and this new ruling affirms that. So broadcasters that play songs written by multiple songwriters must obtain a license from all of the songwriters."
ASCAP CEO Elizabeth Matthews also appears to indicate in her statement about the BMI ruling that it will be business as usual for all involved, and blanket licenses to radio stations will continue. "The Second Circuit's ruling today is an important victory for music creators across the country. The Court affirms what we have known all along, that the right of public performance allows for the fractional licensing of musical works in our repertories, and the consent decrees do not limit that right. ASCAP and BMI can now continue to offer blanket licenses to our hundreds of thousands of licensees that contain all the shares of works that are in our repertories and the livelihoods of our 650,000 ASCAP songwriter, composer, and publisher members can continue to depend on a strong collective licensing system. ASCAP remains committed to making music licensing more efficient, effective, and transparent for today's digital music marketplace."

Tom Taggart December 20, 2017 At 8:02 am
This ruling will also inspire more rip-off artists like Azoff (GMR) to scoop up fractional rights to songs.
The main composer may be licensing the song through BMI–but if the second guy is working with some other bunch of clowns the blanket license from BMI won't cover that song.
For radio–will leave an industry where all the stations are owned by big groups. The small owners will be bankrupted by these blood suckers.


Paul Manafort leaving Federal District Court in Washington, DC, on October 30.
Paul Manafort, President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman, has been accused of attempting to tamper with potential witnesses.
The special counsel Robert Mueller asked the judge overseeing Manafort's case to revoke or revise an order releasing Manafort ahead of his trial.
Manafort is accused of attempting to communicate via phone and encrypted messaging apps with two people associated with a pro-Ukraine group involved in Manafort's lobbying activities.
The FBI says the communications were part of "an effort to influence their testimony and to otherwise conceal evidence."
If Mueller can prove to a judge that Manafort did attempt to tamper with witness testimony, it could deal a serious blow to his defense, legal experts said.
The special counsel Robert Mueller submitted a new court filing on Monday asking a judge to revoke or revise an order releasing Paul Manafort ahead of his trial.
As reasoning, the filing accused President Donald Trump's former campaign chairman of attempting "to tamper with potential witnesses" while out on bail and thus of violating the conditions of his release.
In a declaration filed with Mueller's court document, the FBI agent Brock Domin said Manafort attempted to communicate via phone and encrypted messaging with two people associated with the Hapsburg Group — a group of former senior European politicians who work to advance Ukraine's interests. They were named in the court filing as Person D1 and Person D2.
In February, Manafort was accused, among other things, of secretly paying the Hapsburg Group more than 2 million euros, through four different offshore accounts, to lobby on behalf of the Ukrainian government in 2012 and 2013, when it was controlled by the pro-Russian strongman Viktor Yanukovych.
In addition to Manafort, Mueller's office also said another person, denoted in Monday's court filing as "Person A," reached out to witnesses associated with the Hapsburg Group.
The identity of Person A is unclear.
But previous court documents indicate that the person is an associate of Manafort's, and the description bears similarities to Konstantin Kilimnik, a Russian-Ukrainian operative who has long been suspected to have ties to Russian intelligence.
According to Domin, at least one witness from the group reported Manafort's outreach and said he was attempting to influence their testimony about his lobbying activities.
The FBI agent added that the bureau had obtained documents and statements from the two people Manafort is accused of reaching out to as well as phone records and documents taken from Manafort's iCloud account that apparently show Manafort's attempts.
"Mr. Manafort is innocent and nothing about this latest allegation changes our defense," Manafort's spokesperson said in a statement. "We will do our talking in court."
Witness tampering is considered an offense against the administration of justice, according to legal experts.
"It interferes with the proper functioning of the trial," and for that reason, judges tend to view it as a serious infraction, said Jens David Ohlin, a vice dean at Cornell Law School who is an expert in criminal law. "I'd expect the judge to come down hard on Manafort and revoke bail — assuming that Mueller has solid evidence of improper contact between Manafort and the witness."
Ohlin added: "What was he thinking?"
Mueller is investigating Russian interference in the 2016 US election and whether members of the Trump campaign colluded with Moscow to help tilt the race in Trump's favor. Manafort has pleaded not guilty to dozens of charges against him including tax and bank fraud, money laundering, conspiracy against the US, failure to register as a foreign agent, and making false statements to investigators.
His lawyers have put up an aggressive defense against Mueller since Manafort was first indicted, arguing that Mueller did not have the authority to charge Manafort with crimes unrelated to Russian collusion and that Mueller's mandate was overly broad.
But a federal judge in Washington, DC, dealt Manafort a blow last month when she ruled that Mueller was operating within the scope of his mandate when he charged the former Trump campaign chairman.
Monday's filing adds another weapon in the special counsel's arsenal.
For one, legal experts pointed out that if a witness-tampering charge is used to further restrict Manafort's conditions of release, it increases pressure on him to cooperate with the special counsel.
"Manafort is not a guy who will do well in cell block D," said Jeffrey Cramer, a former longtime federal prosecutor in Chicago who spent 12 years at the Justice Department.
Prosecutors could also introduce the charge at Manafort's trial as evidence of a guilty mind.
Moreover, the charge could also affect "the feel of the case" with respect to the judge, according to Alex Whiting, a former assistant US attorney who is now a professor at Harvard Law School. "If the judge thinks Manafort has been attempting to interfere with witnesses," the judge "will be much less likely to give the defense team the benefit of the doubt on close calls going forward," Whiting said.
Trump, meanwhile, has sought to distance himself and the campaign from Manafort since the former campaign chairman was first charged last year. Trump has denied the campaign colluded with Russia and has called Mueller's investigation a politically motivated "witch hunt."

Belgian School Dismisses Teacher in Favor of Immigrant Replacement – Report
Jul 1, 2019 by Infowars
A teacher at a primary school in Genk, Belgium, claims she is being released as the school seeks to fill her position with an "immigrant" candidate instead, according to local media.
Speaking under condition of anonymity, Miss F.T. told SCEPTR it has been stated that the school is seeking a teacher of Turkish origin to replace her, as the student body is comprised almost exclusively of Turkish or Moroccan children.
"I teach in an OKAN class, these are Dutch language lessons for children who have just arrived in Belgium," F.T. said. "However, the students at our school are mostly Turkish."
"And now they want to hire a Turkish teacher so that they can also speak the Turkish language and lean towards the culture."
School officials have reportedly denied ethnicity playing any role in F.T.'s dismissal, which would violate Belgian law, instead citing low student enrollment and a lack of available hours.
"Yesterday I consulted with a part of the teacher group. Given our student numbers, I no longer had any offer for them," said director Hüda Topaloğlu, himself of Turkish origin. "Those statements are certainly not the reason. What happened is a very normal course of events. There are not enough hours."
F.T. contradicts this explanation, saying the motive has been explicitly expressed, also providing supporting statements made by other school teachers in a private social media group who say they have been hired specifically on the basis of ethnicity.
"It is literally said that they want an immigrant," F.T. insists. "That message has been circulated and today the director himself came to apologize."
"There are also teachers who claim to have been hired a few years ago based on their origins."
The school was profiled by HLN at time of its opening in 2014. First year enrollment was nearly 100 students, all of whom were of Turkish or Moroccan origin.
Russian President Vladimir Putin says that liberalism has "outlived its purpose" and that multiculturalism is "no longer tenable."

How Isolation Can Influence Rash Decisions: Character Analysis of Robert Billings
May 10, 2019 by Essay Writer
In the novel The Wave by Morton Rhue (the pen name for Todd Strasser), a history teacher conducts an experiment to understand Nazi Germany's influence on its people. However, students turn against each other and terrorize those who are not part of The Wave. Robert Billings is a vital character who develops significantly throughout the novel, and in a manner that calls attention to the disturbing nature of Rhue's message. In a dramatic shift, he transitions from class loser to a blind follower of The Wave as the school loses all independence and uniqueness.
Robert Billings is no doubt portrayed as the class loser in the novel and Rhue describes him as a "…Heavy boy with shirt tails perpetually hanging out and his hair always a mess as if he never bothered to comb it." He is illustrated as a weak-willed individual, shy and has no reason to try anything. He says "I don't care…there's no point in trying anyway." He appears as a lost cause, a boy who can not hope to live up to his brother's standards as his brother was an extremely successful and popular student. At the start of the novel, Robert has no purpose, he finds himself isolated and it leaves him no reason in making an effort in anything.
As The Wave begins to develop. Robert was the first student to take it seriously. Mr. Ross begins The Wave by having everyone stand up straight from their desks before answering the question in a concise manner. With this, "Robert practiced the move again and again." Showing the audience Robert's sudden determination to appear as a strong figure. He takes a sudden development in his character as he quickly discovers The Wave as his salvation from isolation. His escape from being a nobody. The Wave was giving him a purpose, a reason to get up in the morning and as readers, we can understand that everyone seeks a purpose in their lives. Robert is even higher up in the social hierarchy as a result of the wave, proven when he receives an 'X' on his membership card which means he is a monitor for The Wave. He also becomes a bodyguard for Mr. Ross. Throughout the novel, Robert quickly becomes dangerously fanatic as The Wave escalates and Laurie tries to stop it. Robert clearly needs The Wave and claims that Laurie is a threat to his salvation. He says "Laurie Saunders can't say things like that…she must be stopped." The readers see that Robert is indoctrinated by his chronic desire to belong and it illustrates one of the main ideas of the novel. The idea that people fear isolation and will do anything to fit in and be accepted. Through Robert Billings, we can see the author's purpose to warn us that there are very real and powerful social hierarchies that people are obsessed with being at the top of and that we must be wary of following these without question.
We see that Robert's development take a sudden turn as he completely breaks down after The Wave is essentially abolished. At the end of the novel, Robert is alone and crying. Rhue writes that "He was the only one who stood to lose it all." Which is perfectly true. We see that Robert devoted all of his willpower keeping The Wave alive and now that The Wave is gone, he has lost all purpose and lost his chance to become a strong and significant figure. He was equal, even if he used to be the class loser and we realize that he was blinded by the fact that he was finally considered normal and perhaps even as cool as the others. That blindness turned "[his equality] into superiority." During the novel, Laurie's mum said that "The problem is that [The Wave] is not real…Robert is safe as long as he keeps within the confines of The Wave. But without it, he won't be able to function in the real world." We understand why Robert turned so sinister and desperate to keep The Wave alive. Robert's major loss makes the reader realize that teenagers can easily get carried away with a new idea. Robert is that teenager who got carried away in order to fill the void that caused his misery and isolation prior to The Wave's formation.
Robert Billings was a loser and a nobody before The Wave. With The Wave, he became obsessed with keeping his place in the social hierarchy because that was all what mattered to him. Robert was unhappy with his life, he found himself isolated from his peers but The Wave turned it all around. But in all of the wrong ways. Rhue shows us that school is just a desperate competition of power and acceptance and some will go to great lengths to have that power.

Services - ALFAsystem - Office of Advice, Accounting and Taxes.
We offer a full range of services relating to accounting and taxes, which can meet the needs of each client.
An interesting form of services is the listed above, audit and tax client. This can be a single service - for example, a customer wanting to check whether the accounting documents, provided by himself or his accounting services, for the reporting period are done properly for possible control, that always can happen from the Tax Office or the Office of Fiscal Control. This is a great opportunity to verify their own accountant or financial and accounting services. In addition, this is the only opportunity to make corrections of documents and declaration even before the tax audit.
Another form of the same service is a fixed monthly inspection and checking of documents before the closing and settlement of the month. It is particularly beneficial for companies with not developed accounting services, because service is not just about checking the accounts, but primarily on the ongoing cooperation with the companies accountant. It involves consulting - advising how to post and how to account for certain economic events. This form of cooperation in spite of appearances is particularly appreciated by our clients and their accountants because it is not instructing or controlling, in its negative sense, but simply an cooperation with the company accountant, which provides support during his very difficult and responsible work. This service gives you the opportunity to complete the missing accounting jobs in the accounting services of the company, which for obvious reasons, often can not afford to employ the entire staff of professionals.
The Office of Advice Accounting and Taxes works with clients in cities such as Wroclaw, Głogów, Lubin, Legnica, Jawor, Prochowice, Chojnów, Świdnica and Walbrzych. Leading all the tax and accounting matters, our office does not put the company before a fait accompli by informing her that she must pay a specified amount of tax. We use the so-called tax hybridization, we aim to optimize taxes. Before closing the month, we announce the amount of taxes that the client would eventually have to pay for the clearance of the month, for example withholding tax or the payment of VAT for the months, so it is a linear increase, not a jump.
All of you are welcome to use the services of our company.
