L'imposta di ricchezza mobile fu la prima imposta sui redditi istituita dall'unità d'Italia, durata dal 1864 al 1973 e quindi sostituita dall'IRPEF. Era ad aliquota unica (flat-tax) fino alla fine del Regno d'Italia, per poi diventare progressiva dagli anni '50.

Storia dell'imposta

Su iniziativa di Quintino Sella, ministro delle finanze del governo guidato da Marco Minghetti, l'imposta fu approvata dalla Camera dei deputati del Regno d'Italia il 30 gennaio 1864 a larga maggioranza, ed entrò in vigore il 14 luglio 1864, quando venne pubblicata sulla Gazzetta Ufficiale, contemporaneamente all'adozione del conguaglio provvisorio dell'imposta fondiaria.Immediatamente dopo l'unità d'Italia la Commissione Finanze della Camera iniziò a discutere il progetto di estendere a tutto il paese il sistema impositivo del Regno di Sardegna, dove era in vigore l'Imposta personale e mobiliare.Secondo i principi originari di questa imposta, alla quale erano soggetti tutti i cittadini maggiorenni, il reddito imponibile veniva presunto sulla base del valore locativo dell'abitazione. Solo dal 1852 il ministro delle finanze Cavour estese la presunzione del reddito anche a parametri correlati all'attività professionale e d'impresa.I lavori della Commissione si protrassero tra il 1861 e il 1862, e la relazione finale fu presentata il 1º marzo 1862, suggerendo l'abbandono del vecchio principio piemontese della misurazione del reddito su basi unicamente presuntive, prendendo ad esempio anche i sistemi in vigore in Francia e nel Regno Unito, e ponendo così le fondamenta per l'introduzione delle dichiarazioni dei redditi.Con la riforma tributaria del 1973, entrata in vigore il 1º gennaio 1974, l'imposta di ricchezza mobile è stata abolita e sostituita dall'IRPEF.

Funzionamento dell'imposta
Diversamente dal sistema presuntivo in vigore nel Regno di Sardegna, il principio cardine della nuova imposta si basava sulla dichiarazione dei redditi che ogni contribuente era tenuto a compilare.Nella dichiarazione si dovevano indicare tutti i redditi non fondiari (questi ultimi erano assoggettati separatamente all'imposta fondiaria), e la si doveva presentare nel comune di residenza del contribuente.La procedura aveva origine dalle autorità municipali, le quali dovevano inviare agli esattori le liste dei contribuenti assoggettati all'imposta e di quelli esentati (i cittadini indigenti). Una volta ricevute le liste, gli esattori inviavano ai contribuenti assoggettati un'ingiunzione alla presentazione della dichiarazione dei redditi.Nel caso in cui il contribuente non avesse presentato la propria dichiarazione, l'esattore provvedeva a redigere una proposta di reddito su basi presuntive, che veniva inviata a una Commissione municipale. Questa Commissione era munita di ampi poteri nei confronti del contribuente per l'accertamento, e determinava, in modo analitico, il reddito imponibile.Il contribuente, a propria volta poteva ricorrere in appello ad una Commissione provinciale, il cui verdetto non era ulteriormente impugnabile.Le tipologie di reddito mobiliare erano tre:
Redditi perpetui - Redditi imponibili al 100%, in quanto frutto di rendite da capitale e rendite vitalizie (perpetui, in quanto indipendenti dal lavoro e dalla vita del contribuente);
Redditi temporanei misti - Redditi imponibili al 75%, in quanto provenienti sia dal lavoro (fattore temporaneo, in quanto subordinato alla vita del contribuente), che da capitale o rendite vitalizie;
Redditi temporanei - Redditi imponibili al 62,50%, in quanto provenienti unicamente dal lavoro, e quindi subordinati alla vita del contribuente.

L'aliquota d'imposta, fissata inizialmente all'8%, era proporzionale al reddito imponibile, e senza scaglioni progressivi. Le aliquote d'imposta progressive, sancite dalla Costituzione del 1948, furono introdotte nel secondo dopoguerra.

Blue Santa program still thriving
The Blue Santa crew gets set for the Christmas season rush. Left to right, the crew includes Martha Bailey (HPD Retired), SPO Alex Maciel, Sgt. Joshua Mungia, SPO E. J. Reyes, Sgt. George Smith (the Blue Santa), Sgt. Kurt Rogers, SPO Georganna Davis and SPO Angelica Sanchez.
HPD's Blue Santa program, a community partnership that has thrived since its formation in 1984, is looking more like Christmas 365 days a year.
Currently, Blue Santa officers are picking up their bags of toys to be distributed to at least 10,000 children from needy families on Patrol beats between now and Christmas Day.
Blue Santa is run by two sergeants and five officers who work together to bag up the goodies and make sure each officer gets what he or she has funded with the 26 paycheck deductions in a year.
Senior Police Officer E. J. Reyes, the Blue Santa spokesman, said about 40 percent of the department's officers are involved in the program. Reyes explained that a minimum deduction of $2 per paycheck gets the officer one bag of toys valued from $85 to $200.
Reyes said officers were picking up their bags at the old dispatch office on the second floor at 51 Riesner, a practice that will continue through Dec. 18, the designated last day for pickups.
"We shop in bulk," he reported. "The number of toys in a bag has doubled this year. We will have 200 bikes in addition to the toys that go with that bag. Officers get more than their money's worth."
In addition to the officers' donations, Blue Santa receives items from toy drives conducted by individuals, community partners and non-profits. The program also receives monetary donations from companies and individuals.
Reyes was excited to report that Blue Santa operates throughout the year, gathering toy and seasonal equipment and costumes at Easter, Halloween and other special occasions to be distributed at appropriate times.
Officer Tracie Mathews-Segura just joined the team.
"Our community partners donate household items and clothing that we can't give out at Christmas time," Reyes explained. "We collect these donations and work with non-profits to make sure families in need get these things."
Blue Santa has its roots on Patrol. In the early 1980s a Patrol officer arrested a man for shoplifting. He told the officer that he couldn't afford to buy presents for his children, prompting the arresting officer to tell his fellow officers the situation. They in turn donated money to buy gifts for these children. The obvious follow-up was that this wasn't the only needy family with children, so the officers collected money to help another family.
The practice evolved into the Blue Santa program. One of its offshoots became the Blue Santa shopping event in which children who have written the best essays about the best ways Houston youths can build trust with HPD get a special shopping spree.
Reyes said no shopping sprees have been held since the covid pandemic – until this year. The spree will take place on Dec. 16 at the Walmart at 111 Yale. "We can't wait to resume this great part of the Blue Santa tradition," he said.
Members of the Blue Santa team are Sgts. Kurt Rogers and George Smith and Officers Reyes, Alex Maciel, Angelica Sanchez, Georgeanna Davis, and Tracie Matthews-Segura.

Despite this being the card I made for mothers day, as you can see I'm a little behind in blogging it lol. I had a lot of fun with this card. I went digging through random papers of various my mom and I have done throughout the years and came up with one of the melted crayon backgrounds that was rich in warm colors. Over that I used a swirly stencil and put versa mark ink through it, then I brought out the powdered pearls. Funny thing though, the color of powdered pearls I wanted to use hadn't been opened yet. See where this is going. As I was trying to get the seal unstuck so I could use it it slipped out of my hands and landed on the table, which made it go EVERYWHERE, including on the two dogs that were sitting at my feet. Lets just say it was months before some things didn't have a nice silvery/white sheen. Once I got that cleaned up, more or less, that stuff sticks everywhere, I got it on the card here I wanted it and off where I didn't. For the large flower in the middle I colored it with an embossing ink pen and then used embossing powder to give it the colors that I wanted. The grass and flower vines at the bottom were a sticker piece, as was the butterflies. The small gravestone at the bottom is actually a piece of marble chess board that broke many years ago that was then etched wit the phrase "here lies my piece of mind". I had been waiting forever for the perfect time to use it. A flowery Mother's Day card seemed like the perfect place lol.


Current selected tag: 'Aldo Drudi'. Clear.
Valentino Rossi's connection with the Italian Grand Prix has never been short of emotion. From his seven consecutive race victories, through to the anguish of 2010 and the return on a Ducati machine to its spiritual home, the race has always left a huge impression on the tens of thousands who come to idolise him. Starting in 2002 the Mugello story took an added twist and tradition of a one-off helmet which was often dedicated to Italy and his fans. Never short on imagination or humour Valentino's delivered a sense of fun and an insight into his private thoughts each year. The 2012 story will be unknown to the world, as is tradition, until Valentino produces the helmet on Saturday morning but the best place to start is to look through some of his own personal favourites form years gone by.
The Mugello story continues with Aldo Drudi and Valentino sharing some of the behind the scenes work that goes into the helmets.

Investigation of the functions of the NDC80 kinetochore complex in budding yeast Ma, Lina
Kinetochores are multi protein complexes comprised of inner kinetochore proteins that assemble on centromeric DNA sequences and outer kinetochore proteins that bind to microtubules. Kinetochores are responsible for accurate transmission of genetic information during each cell division. In the budding yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, the highly conserved Ndc80 kinetochore complex has been well characterized in terms of its roles in chromosome-microtubule attachment and spindle checkpoint. The work presented in this thesis suggests that the Ndc80 complex has additional cellular roles. The kinetochore is required to prevent spindle expansion during S phase in budding yeast, but the mechanism of how the kinetochore maintains integrity of the bipolar spindle in S phase is not well understood. In Chapter 2, I demonstrate that a mutation in Spc24, a component of the Ndc80 complex, causes lethality when cells are exposed to the DNA replication inhibitor hydroxyurea (HU) due to premature spindle expansion and segregation of incompletely replicated DNA. Overexpression of Stu1, a CLASP-related MT-associated protein or a truncated form of the XMAP215 orthologue Stu2 rescues spc24-9 HU lethality and prevents spindle expansion. Stu1 and Stu2 localize to the kinetochore early in the cell cycle and Stu2 kinetochore localization depends on Spc24. I propose that mislocalization of Stu2 results in premature spindle expansion in S phase stalled spc24-9 mutants. In Chapter 3 and Chapter 4, I present data suggesting that the Ndc80 complex has a role in the cAMP/PKA glucose signaling pathway and actin regulation. Firstly, I identified genetic interactions between Spc24 and the components of cAMP/PKA pathway and demonstrated that spc24 mutants have defects in PKA signaling in response to glucose depletion. Interestingly, most of the temperature sensitive mutant alleles of the Ndc80 complex are rescued by non-glucose carbon sources. Finally, I present actin defects in spc24 mutants and genetic interactions between spc24 mutants and mutants of proteins involved in actin turnover, nucleation or polarity establishment. Further investigation on the mechanism and rationale behind the kinetochore-cytoskeleton interactions will be an intriguing avenue for future research.

Due to the high demand and the most successful concert tour of the band history of LORD OF THE LOST so far, the "Thornstar" Tour enters the second round. Last week, LORD OF THE LOST visited the Alter Gasometer in Zwickau. The concert was sold-out! The evening was opened by HELL BOULEVARD who already had their own fan community with their second album, 'In Black We Trust'. After that, LORD OF THE LOST took over the stage and were celebrated by their fans. The stage was extended during the concert and so the band also played briefly on the bar adjacent to the stage. As usual, the audience got a great show offered by both bands.

This Government thought they could get away with daylight robbery - but we're going to prove them wrong!
They want to steal away our services, our jobs, our NHS – everything that we have won over decades of struggle.
In particular, they want to steal our pensions, the money that we put aside from our salary to ensure at least some kind of a decent retirement.
These increased contributions won't be going to pay for retired colleagues – even the Government's own figures show that the costs of public sector pensions are falling - but to pay for Government debt.
They want to impose an extra tax on public sector workers – when the bankers who got us into this mess are getting away with billions in unpaid taxes.
The message in our campaign to win the strike ballot has been clear - either we strike or we'll end up paying more to get less pension - and be told to struggle on in work until we're 68!
What kind of education is it where children will have to wait for their teacher's stair-lift to arrive before class starts?!
What's the logic in keeping over 60's in work while school leavers and university graduates are left without jobs to do?
In schools, all the signs are that the ballot will be won and that ATL and NUT members will be on strike on June 30th. Unfortunately, we won't be joined by the NASUWT, not by support staff unions.
Their leaders have told their members to wait - to wait for the outcome of negotiations. But that caution has only encouraged the Government.
That's why they felt bold enough to come to the negotiating table with even worse proposals. Their plans for career-average pensions on a miserly accrual rate would be a shattering blow to teacher pensions.
But we need to show the Con-Dems that they have made a serious misjudgement. The mounting anger of teachers on so many issues - on pay, bullying , workload, cuts, Academies - means that they are even more determined to make a stand on pensions.
Unions need to get our message across to parents and the public that "our fight is your fight" - that a defeat for the Government over pensions will be a blow against their whole savage cuts programme.
If we stand together, and mobilise the power of the union movement, it won't be us but the Government that will have to retreat – just as the last Labour Government had to over their proposed pension 'reforms'.
100,000's on the march on 26/3 sent a clear warning to the Con-Dems; 800,000 on strike on 30/6 will really start to make them think.
Cable may be making threats against the union movement - but they show his fear - fear that the trade union movement is starting to get organised.
It will take more than one day's action in June to force them back – which is why we need to escalate and extend our action in Autumn. We need every union to be put under such pressure that they have to ballot too – so that we can build from 800,000 to 4 million on strike together.
Together, we can build a mighty movement that can force this Government to retreat – on pensions, jobs and all their attacks.
Labels: Pensions
Well what an interesting rant! I speak as a pensions lawyer whose parents both teach. They will both retire this year. One of whom will be 66 when she retires, the other 69.
Your throwaway comments about stairlifts for older teachers are not just silly but also offensive and discriminatory.
Most of the parents of the children your "brothers and sisters" now teach will not have had ANY final salary pension provision at any point in their careers if they have had any pension from their employers at all. I can't really see them coming out on general strike to protect your pensions, can you?
For most teachers salaries will plateau long before they reach retirement age so the changes to pensions - retaining defined benefits but simply moving to revalued average salary instead of final salary - will have little effect in relation to the vast majority of teachers. There may be a few heads of very large schools earning over £100,000 per annum who may see their pensions reduce but they will be a tiny majority and I don't think in Neil Kinnock's immortal words to Arthur Scargill that they will need to be taken out of their misery brother.
Oh and by the way, pensions costs are going up, not because of bankers but because of longevity. Go and look it up.
Your comments at least allow me to make a few things clear.
Firstly, as a pensions lawyer, you understand that a career-average salary could, in principle, be introduced in a way that would protect pensions. However, it requires an improved accrual rate - while the Government is proposing a worsened 1/100 accrual rate which will slash pensions for all teachers.
Secondly, if you'd like to 'look it up' you will find that unions agreed to an increase in contributions where a valuation showed that longetivity required it. These proposals aren't based on any valuation at all - just a desire to plug the deficit.
Good luck to those teachers who can - and who want - to work on until 69. Most teachers are too exhausted by the age of 60 - but will now have the chice between retiring 'early' - and giving away their full entitlements - or struggling on in work.

"The Town of Little Creek is a charming Bayshore town with an interesting history while offering the potential for traveler services. The Town of Little Creek, settled in the early 1800's, allegedly was first inhabited by pirates. Originally called Little Landing, the town was most prosperous in the late 1800's when a thriving oyster industry emerged. Nearby Port Mahon grew into a stopover for large ships and commercial boats that led to businesses, such as bait shops, restaurants and a cannery in town. The Old Stone Tavern, actually never a tavern, was built in 1829 with the stone from the ballast of old sailing ships.
Today, few boats are found in the Town's waters. Now, part of the Little Creek Wildlife Area, Port Mahon was previously lined with fishing shacks and oyster-shucking houses. Close-by Pickering Beach is a designated sanctuary for horseshoe crabs. The horseshoe crab is designated as the state marine animal, a significant species of the Delaware Estuary."

The second Quantum Ultra Class ship debuts in July to begin its inaugural season of 6- and 8-night Caribbean cruises from Fort Lauderdale, Florida.

The Wonder of Conveyance – How and Why Do Royal Caribbean Ships Sail Down a Narrow River
March 2021 – The journey of a cruise ship begins long before it sets sail with guests around the world. At Meyer Werft shipyard in Papenburg, Germany, every Royal Caribbean International cruise ship built in the last 20 years has first needed to make its way 20 miles (32 kilometers) down the narrow Ems River, while backward, to reach the ocean. This winding adventure called "conveyance" is a process unique to the ships built at the leading shipyard, which is located inland for protection from storms in the North Sea. Watch how it's done and hear the details about this major cruise ship milestone from the captains, engineers and experts who have managed to flawlessly take these ships, as large as 1,138 feet long (346 meters) and 136 feet wide (41 meters), out to the open sea throughout the years. To date, Royal Caribbean's 169,000-gross-ton Odyssey of the Seas is the largest ship to complete the process, along with sister ships Quantum, Anthem, Ovation and Spectrum of the Seas.

March 2021* – Watch the second Quantum Ultra class ship, Odyssey of the Seas, make her way down the Ems River – backward – and to the North Sea on her conveyance. The 20-mile (32-kilometer), 10-plus-hour journey brings the highly anticipated ship one step closer to its debut. Odyssey is set to sail from Fort Lauderdale, Florida in July to begin its inaugural season of 6- and 8-night cruises.

Hubert von Grashey (30 October 1839 – 24 August 1914) was a German psychiatrist born in Grönenbach. He was son-in-law to psychiatrist Bernhard von Gudden (1824–1886).

He studied medicine at the Universities of Würzburg, Vienna and Berlin, earning his doctorate in 1867. Following graduation he worked under Gudden at the "Kreis-Irrenanstalt" (district mental asylum) in Werneck. Later he was appointed director of the Kreis-Irrenanstalt-Deggendorf, and in 1884 succeeded Franz von Rinecker (1811–1883) as director of the mental hospital at Würzburg.

After the death of his father-in-law in 1886, he relocated to Munich, becoming head of the Upper Bavarian Kreis-Irrenanstalt. In 1896 he replaced Joseph von Kerschensteiner (1831–1896) in the Ministry, subsequently becoming chief medical officer and chair of the Bavarian Obermedizinalausschuss.

Grashey died in Munich.

Fall Scaping by Author Nancy J Ondra. 240 pages. Soft cover. Beautiful pictures and inspiration for Autumn gardening. 25cm x 23cm. Weight 1kg.
Why should the joys of puttering in the garden be relegated to spring and summer when autumn has so much to offer? Enjoyable temperatures and more dependable rainfall in much of the country extend the growing season and allow the gardener to spend more time enjoying the garden and less time watering. Those final splendid months before winter's chill offer hospitable conditions for an impressive array of flowers, foliage, berries, and seedheads.
Nancy J. Ondra and Stephanie Cohen, two top garden writers and teachers, team up to show readers how to achieve three-season garden color. Join them on a detailed tour through dozens of plants that bring life and color to late-season gardens. Ondra and Cohen identify all the key fall-specific players and explain how to combine them with multiseason workhorse plants to create gardens that move gracefully from spring through the riotous days of summer and into autumn's golden weeks.
Ten complete garden plans put everything together for autumn-loving gardeners. Particularly stunning in the fall but designed to deliver multiseason appeal, they cover a range of growing conditions and color themes. The authors wrap up the season (and the book) with a garden care calendar featuring tips and techniques on how to plant, prune, and maintain gardens all season long so they remain glorious throughout the fall, as well as dozens of suggestions for how to prepare gardens for winter.
"Fall Scaping" is very strongly recommended for any gardener with an interest in continuing to maximize their gardens.

Connie Walker on missing and murdered investigations, life at the CBC
It's been a great few weeks for CBC journalist Connie Walker. She's been winning awards for her work alongside the public broadcaster's news team for reporting on the unsolved cases of Canada's missing and murdered indigenous women.
In recent years, Walker has reported extensively on indigenous issues, founding CBC.ca's popular Aboriginal portal and often leading CBC TV's The National with her heartbreaking reports on missing and murdered women. As a Cree from Saskatchewan's Okanese First Nation, Walker not only has a personal motivation to tell the stories of these women, but has long-advocated behind the scenes for these stories to be told during her more than 15-year career at the CBC.
So now, with multiple awards in hand, and the second phase of the National Inquiry into Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls soon to be announced, we thought it was good timing to check in with Walker. We caught up with her near the end of a work day at the CBC Toronto headquarters.
A few of the hundreds of case files from CBC's award-winning Missing & Murdered: Unsolved cases of indigenous women and girls (Screen capture)
Tell us about some of your latest projects at the investigative unit.
For the last year, we've been looking into the issue of missing and murdered indigenous women. It was almost a year ago now that we launched a database featuring unsolved cases that we compiled from across the country — over 230 women's names whose cases are still unsolved. Last year, we told a number of the women's stories on a bigger level. I traveled to northern Manitoba and I did a story about Leah Anderson and I spoke with her family and talked to people in her community. We're continuing those investigations now. The project has recently won a couple of awards, which is really exciting, especially because I think it's really renewed [CBC's] commitment to help us tell these stories — and it's an issue that's really important to me.
And how many of these cases have you profiled on TV?
So we did Leah's story last year and then we did another story about Amber Tuccaro shortly after that. Then, there were a number of shorter news stories throughout the year where we talked to other family members. So quite a bit. The amount of attention this issue has gotten has changed dramatically in the last year.
CBC journalist Connie Walker had a personal connection to Amber Tuccaro's case, one of Canada's many missing and murdered Indigenous women. (Screen capture)
I remember that I pitched my first missing and murdered indigenous women story in 2005, when a girl that I knew from back home had gone missing and it was the same summer that Alicia Ross went missing in Toronto. I'm not sure if you remember, but Alicia Ross was a young woman from [Markham, Ontario] and she was this beautiful, blonde-haired woman who was on the front page of all of the newspapers for days and led the national newscasts. Her body was found and eventually someone was charged in her murder. I remember thinking, at the time, that I didn't understand why Amber's story wasn't being told… there were so many similarities in their cases.
And you had a personal connection to Amber?
I coached my sister's volleyball team with my cousin for the Saskatchewan Indian Winter Games for four years, and Amber was on our team for one of the years. I didn't know her very well, I just remembered that she was one of our girls. She was a shy, quiet girl, so when she went missing all of those years later, I was really upset by it.
Ten years ago, it was more difficult to get these stories on the air. Why didn't those stories get told back then?
I think that there wasn't a recognition that there was an interest or an appetite in these stories. When I pitched Amber's story, the response by a certain [CBC] producer at the time was, "This isn't another poor Indian story is it?" And I remember feeling like I had been punched in the gut. I honestly don't remember what I said after that or how the meeting ended, except obviously it didn't go well. And I did end up addressing that with the producer again at a certain point and there were apologies and all of the rest. I think what's changed in the past few years is the digital landscape — that's really helped shift things in such an accelerated way. We did 8th Fire in 2012, and a huge part of that documentary series that aired on CBC Television was a digital component. It was the first time where there was an immediate reaction to what we had done, which was visible online, and we were communicating with people in real-time about what was happening on the screen… it was the first time that there was visual proof that there was this audience out there that was interested in these stories and it was my inspiration for CBC Aboriginal.

You were the visible component of CBC Aboriginal for many years, like you were at the CBC youth consumer show Street Cents. I know you're at the investigative unit now, but can we talk about Street Cents? The show was shot in Halifax, right?
It was based in Halifax, but they shot across the country. I did one season in Halifax and they asked me to move to Toronto and I did three seasons from Toronto after that.
And how did you get that gig? That was every teenager's dream, I think.
It was a total fluke (laughs). I was an intern at CBC in Halifax. I think it was 2000. I was working as a chase producer for CBC Morning and I was out in the parking lot having a cigarette one afternoon when I met one of the producers of Street Cents. She just came up to me and said, "Hi, I've seen you around the building. Who are you and what are you doing?" I don't remember much about the conversation, except when she said, "We're looking for a new host. Would you like to audition?" And I said sure. Really, that's how it happened! I auditioned and I guess I didn't do terribly and I ended up getting the job.
That's how the magic happens in journalism, right? You just stand there and someone says you can be a host.
(Laughs) I was clearly a great role model for kids, sitting in a parking lot having a cigarette. (Pause) I've since quit smoking.
Good, good. That's good to hear!
I never smoked on camera!
Yes, that would be a bad move for a youth show. It's been quite the journey for you, and it's all been at the CBC.
I haven't left.
Good news lately for the CBC — lots of money returning. Has there been a cultural deep breath and exhale from everyone? What's it like there now?
I don't know if I'm a good gauge for that. I haven't noticed. I don't know, I feel like I'm in my little corner here. I'm really just focusing on what I'm doing today and tomorrow and next week.
That's the thing about investigative, your whole world is one story — that we'll find out about soon I'm sure — and many, many months of behind the scenes work. You tend to get lost in it, no?
I know, it's like an iceberg in some ways. I remember that with one of the stories we did last year, where we had been researching and researching and then what you end up being able to actually put on air… just felt like the tip of the iceberg.
There are so many different-coloured threads to pull on. You have to choose one ball of yarn, essentially.
Yeah, exactly. And as a knitter I appreciate that analogy.
Have you had time to knit?
Yeah, I'm really big into sewing and knitting and quilting. Knitting is actually amazing for helping you to de-stress. You have to concentrate on it and you can't think of anything else. I have a three-year-old and the things I make for her are small so they get done quicker!
Any idea on when we can see your next story? Is there a timeline?
Definitely in April. It's been really great to be able to re-focus and do some more of the stories of missing and murdered indigenous women. Obviously, with the national inquiry coming up, it's going continue to be something that people are going to be talking about. I think that there's just so much more to shed some light on, and to help people understand the issues that are at play.

"How does your religious faith affect the way you act towards other lawyers and clients?"
As to my clients, I hope it means that I have their best interests at heart and not my own. As to my partners and associates, I have the same hope. Really, if I have eternity with the Lord to look forward to, why shouldn't I seek the best interests of the people whom I serve?
As to my adversaries, whether opposing counsel or their clients, I owe them ethical behavior, respect, and courtesy. In a way, by my being a reasonable, competent advocate, I am serving their best interests as well as the best interests of my clients, because I am being faithful to the system that we have of settling disputes. In this way, one serves one's enemy, one expresses a kind of love even to them, approaching the standard that Jesus taught when he enjoined us to love our enemies.


As public services become more customer-focused, there is an increasing emphasis on accountability, achieving value for money and ensuring continuous improvement; while at the same time dealing with the challenges of advances in technology, outsourcing and changes in work patterns.
Based in Croydon, Surrey, the Institute of Public Finance (IPF) is the management support services company of the Chartered Institute of Public Finance and Accountancy (CIPFA). They specialise in giving advice on financial management, governance, property and asset management solutions, the supply of information and expertise, and the provision of people with appropriate skills to help at the most senior level.
Colin Jenkins is Assistant Director of IT at the CIPFA Group of which IPF is a wholly owned subsidiary.
"Efficient communications is key to the success of organisations such as the IPF and whilst we had been using Panasonic key telephone systems for many years, when the time came to change out our system we looked around at what was on the market. In particular we examined IP and Voice over IP systems from other manufacturers such as Alcatel, Cisco and Siemens to see if there was any benefit in adopting this new technology immediately. We concluded, having established that 95% of our calls are not made on an inter-company basis, that the benefits to be gained by moving to VoIP were just not there. The size of investment we would have to make meant that we would not see a return on investment for years."
Colin Jenkins, "User acceptance is one of the key criteria in introducing new systems and the fact that our staff had been very happy with the style and functionality of the Panasonic handsets indicated to me that selecting the KX-TDA would be an easy decision to make. " Together with Palebeck Telecomms, who had supplied and maintained our previous Panasonic systems, we had a visit from Panasonic's Technical Manager who set up a system in our boardroom in order to demonstrate the features of the new system.
"The ability to 'double up' phones was a major selling point for IPF. On the back of each keyphone is a second port into which you can plug another phone, which can then be independently programmed for another user. This is a big benefit and meant we could add users very quickly without having to worry about the availability of spare phone sockets being next to a desk. Clearly this feature would reduce our ongoing wiring costs.
"Another feature we were impressed with was the Panasonic Computer Telephony Integration (CTI) application. This software based feature enabled users to associate their desk phone with their PC based contact application – in our case Microsoft Outlook, and just double click a contact to make a call to them." IPF also took the opportunity to upgrade their voice mail system to the new Panasonic KXTVM200E model.
"The new voice mail system had the ability to email voice mail messages to staff in the form of standard Windows format WAV files for playback via their PCs so they just can't miss their messages," said Jenkins.
Colin Jenkins sent all members of staff at IPF details of the new Panasonic KX-TDA600 system requesting their comment and feedback on the system and the type of features and phone model they wanted. Panasonic Reseller, Palebeck Telecomms carried out a number of pre-installation visits to ensure that programming of the system – such as group pick-ups and other user requirements, were accommodated in the system configuration.
"The actual installation of the system could not have gone smoother," commented Colin Jenkins, "Palebeck carried out the installation of 110 extensions, the central equipment and the system programming in one evening – albeit a late evening as I recall.
IPF now has a communications platform on which they can not only accommodate future growth but also explore new applications and it is their intention to extend the functionality of their existing KX-TDA600 in the near future.
Colin Jenkins, "The ability to dial out from Microsoft Outlook is great and we will be integrating this CTI feature into our own IPF database so that we can dial from this as well. We have already updated our Outlook contact list to include user extensions. This means that instead of having to look up extension lists all the time to call internally we can now use the same CTI functionality to call a colleague." Jenkins is also looking ahead to the time when he upgrades the telephony services at the CIPFA headquarters in London and believes this could afford the organisation the opportunity to upgrade to VoIP between the sites.
The case studies contained within this website have been built up over the past twenty plus years. Please don't be taken in by comments such as "that's a discontinued system" because we supply the latest systems for new installations however we also support and maintain legacy systems for hundreds of companies across London.
Palebeck have been the leading Panasonic telephone systems dealers in London for more than 25 years. Trusted by trade and retail alike, we are one of the few telecom dealers to have focussed solely on Panasonic products over the years.
Palebeck Telecomms were excellent throughout and went the extra mile by installing the KX-TDA600 onto new patch panels in tandem with our existing system so that all they had to do at the end was switch over the master connection.
