Canadian Data Sovereignty and GDPR
Sep 04, 2018 by Mike Gero
The European General Data Protection Regulation, or GDPR, came into effect in May promising fines for non-compliance of €20m or 4% of annual worldwide revenue. Many organizations scrambled to decipher how their application could be impacted by GDPR and what they could do to ensure compliance. A few months later not much has changed. Precedents have still to be set. Nonetheless, questions of sovereignty remain relevant as the dynamic nature of data storage and processing entails a fair amount of ambiguity. To that end, I've compiled a quick summary of how GDPR describes data sovereignty and what that means for Canadian businesses.
Key Definitions:
The GDPR defines the key concept as follows:
Data Controller: the entity that determines the purposes, conditions and means of the processing of personal data.
Data Processor: the entity that processes data on behalf of the Data Controller.
Data Subject: a natural person whose data is processed by a Data Controller or Processor.
Enterprise: any entity engaged in economic activity regardless of legal form, including persons, partnerships, associations, etc.
Processing: any operation performed on personal data, such as collection, recording, organisation, structuring, storage, adaptation or alteration, retrieval, consultation, use, disclosure by transmission, dissemination or otherwise making available, alignment or combination, restriction, erasure or destruction.
As data has become more portable in the cloud, the residency of data has struggled to keep up with its portability. Data stored physically in the data centre of one country may also be stored physically in the data centre of another and may cover information that comes from yet another country, making that data subject to the jurisdiction of three different countries. Altogether, data often has overlapping jurisdiction and separate legal requirements. For a thorough understanding of the residency of data and its jurisdiction, read our white paper called 'Even in the Cloud: Jurisdiction Matters.'
Ultimately, the ownership of data is irrelevant as the location of the physical storage decides which country's laws that data is subject to. While the 2014 Supreme Court ruling of Microsoft v. United States set this precedent of data sovereignty, GDPR has extended the scope of the EU's jurisdiction.
Firstly, all data stored in a data centre that is physically located within the European Union is within GDPR jurisdiction. Likewise, any data centre in Norway, Liechtenstein, and Iceland is directly subject to GDPR.
Data Subjects
GDPR has extended its scope beyond the data centre to include the subject of the data itself. Regardless of the geographic presence of the data centre, if the data relates to the personal information of data subjects in the EU, the data is subject to GDPR. By stating that, GDPR overrules contradictory laws from countries outside the EU unless they are based on international agreement. Since the fines are so punitive, any country that stores the data of any subjects in the EU is forced to comply.
What happens when an enterprise stores the data of EU subjects outside the EU, specifically Canada? GDPR mandates that data being exported from the EU must have safeguards in place to ensure it is stored in a compliant manner. There are several ways those safeguards can manifest.
Countries can be deemed to have an adequate level of protection under their own laws which would allow for the transfer of personal data to that country. There are a few countries that have been granted an Adequacy Decision by the European Commission. GDPR has extraterritorial implications and applies to countries granted an Adequacy Decision. European data can be exported to such countries without breaking GDPR compliance. Canada has been granted an Adequacy Decision so long as the data is limited to commercial organizations. Data stored in Canada is subject to Canadian jurisdiction, and, if it relates to a European data subject, to the GDPR. If a data centre in Canada loses control and the data is backed up to a different country, the data becomes subject to the jurisdiction of that country.
The US has also been granted an Adequacy Decision, but it is limited to the Privacy Shield framework that was agreed upon by the two governments. Additionally, Andorra, Argentina, the Faroe Islands, Guernsey, Israel, the Isle of Man, New Zealand, Switzerland, and Uruguay have been granted Adequacy Decisions, all without additional agreements. This is fully subject to the decision of the European Commission. Ongoing talks are happening with Japan and South Korea to extend this Decision.
Allen Mendelsohn, an attorney specializing in internet and privacy law, says:
"The Adequacy Decision for Canada is undoubtedly beneficial for Canadian businesses, allowing for the transfer of personal data of European data subjects to Canada without the need for further contractual clauses or other additional protection mechanisms."
GDPR differentiates between the data controller and the data processor. The data controller is the enterprise that collects the data, and the data processor is usually the cloud provider. GDPR puts most of the accountability for compliance in the hands of the data controller, although the processor remains liable in certain circumstances as well, which differentiates GDPR from the previous European data law. It is the controller enterprise that is ultimately responsible for ensuring that the way data is in accordance with GDPR taking into account the locality of the data centre.
As a Canadian cloud provider, cloud.ca is 100% Canadian owned, operated, and governed. Our customers can be certain that data stored with us will not leave Canadian jurisdiction -whether it be primary data or backups. In accordance with GDPR and previously established laws and decisions of Europe, we can store the personal data of EU subjects and will notify our customers of any possible security breach immediately. While the manner in which GDPR will come to be interpreted is still to be determined, for now, Canada is currently in compliance.
Canadian organizations processing sensitive information, notably in the field of healthcare, may need to trust that their data is stored exclusively within Canada. Read more about some of our customers, and download our white paper to learn more about jurisdiction and security.

Remembering Chancellor Shankel
Posted on Jul 12, 2018 in Campus News and News
Dear Jayhawks,
The University family lost an extraordinary Jayhawk and truly dedicated leader early this morning, when Chancellor Emeritus Del Shankel died in Lawrence. Shankel twice led KU through pivotal transitions as interim chancellor, from 1980 to '81 and 1994 to '95. The Kansas Board of Regents officially designated him KU's 15th chancellor in 1995.
Del began his KU teaching career in 1959 in the department of microbiology. He rose quickly to professor and earned numerous teaching awards, while also serving in interim roles as dean, athletics director, vice chancellor for academic affairs, executive vice chancellor, and, for six months in 2004, interim president of the Alumni Association. With his trademark wisdom, humor and compassion, Del guided the Association through a critical transition. I met him when I worked as a student employee of the Association, and through the years he has graciously offered his trusted counsel and encouragement to me and to many members of our staff. All of KU's recent chancellors have relied on Del as a special adviser and confidante whose dedication and knowledge of KU are unsurpassed. In 2010, KU dedicated the Delbert M. Shankel Structural Biology Center on West Campus.
The Alumni Association's staff, national Board of Directors and loyal alumni everywhere remain forever grateful to Del, and we extend our heartfelt condolences to his wife, Carol, daughters Kelley and Jill, and his entire family. There is no better Jayhawk than Del.
Rock Chalk,
Heath Peterson, d'04, g'09

Jayhawks return to the Hill for Science Camp reunion
Posted on Jul 7, 2016 in Campus News and News
In the summer of 1966, 25 high-school graduates who attended KU's Science Camp were selected as research apprentices from a pool of 100 participants. Fifty years later, nine of those former apprentices returned to the Hill for a reunion at the Adams Alumni Center.
"Everybody was thrilled to see all the different people," says Jim Bredfeldt, c'70, m'74, a reunion attendee. "Of course we told the usual war stories. But we also talked about what we've done and where we are now."
Chancellor Emeritus Del Shankel, who directed the camp from 1965 to '68, hosted the attendees and gave them a tour of campus during the two-day event.
"It was really very nice," says Shankel, assoc. "It was especially nice to see that a bunch of smart, nice kids had turned into a bunch of successful, nice adults. I really enjoyed seeing them."
The camp, which promoted and enhanced science education for high-school students, was part of the Midwest Music and Arts Camp and was partially funded by the National Science Foundation, which in 1965 provided $5,065 for the apprenticeship program and $21,525 for the general camp.
As participants in the apprenticeship program, students enjoyed the privilege of returning to campus the following summer to test their science skills and assist University faculty members in their laboratories. Of those chosen in 1966, seven went on to attend KU, and the majority pursued advanced education, obtaining doctorates and master's of science degrees.

The twenty three-acre Garden of the Gods park is perched in the northwest corner of Chatsworth. The park was once one of the most recognizable areas of the historic Iverson Movie Ranch—fabled to be the most photographed location ranch in movie history. Beginning in 1912, the ranch had been used to depict Asia, Africa, the South Seas and the American West, and in thousands of films including such classics as "The Lone Ranger," and "Tarzan the Ape Man." The area was named for its massive sandstone rock formations.
The park was acquired by the Santa Monica Mountains Conservancy in 1987. Portions of the old stage coach route that connected to Simi Valley over the Santa Susana Pass run through the park. A short and easy hiking trail with good views of the valley and numerous other rock formations leads westward off Redmesa Road.
Street parking is available on Redmesa Road.

Stone: A Substantial Witness
IN THE WORDS OF CHILE'S NOBEL LAUREATE, PABLO NERUDA, stone is "a substantial witness" to the "trembling world," a solid reflection of mutable things. The photographic images presented in this volume intimately capture the enduring quality and varied uses of stone across time, geography, and diverse human cultures. The worked stone structures and natural formations presented here profoundly capture the unique ideas, shared social and aesthetic values, and religious beliefs of which they are a reflection. In stone we see both the continuum of time, place, nature, and culture and their transience. Photographer David Scheinbaum's exploration of stone spans the period 1994 to the present and circumnavigates the globe. Not a compendium of famous sites, this is an evocation of the inherent power of stone in its metaphorical, symbolic meanings, its aesthetic expressiveness, its embrace of geological time and reflection of fleeting impermanence. Mystical Stonehenge and Scotland's gentle Kilmartin; the Forbidden City and China's Great Wall; Mont St. Michel, Assisi, and Pompeii; the raked-sand meditation gardens at Ginkaku-ji Temple, Kyoto; the incomparable toppled statues of Easter Island; India's Palani Temple and Brooklyn's bridge. Archaeologist Jo Anne Van Tilburg, a leading expert on Easter Island, contributes a farreaching essay on stone's power to shape culture and to embody the ideas, values, and beliefs of those who work its surfaces. Stone—iconic, mutable, durable, sensual—is the chosen medium for mankind's expression of eternal truths and a worthy subject of the photographer's art.
This Edition Was Prepared by the Museum of New Mexico Press and Scheinbaum & Russek Ltd. of Santa Fe, New Mexico. It was designed by David Skolkin. The typeface is Stone in serif and sans serif. The duotone printing on Leykam Ivory paper was executed at CS Graphics, Singapore. The edition is limited to fifty copies and ten artist's proofs, signed and numbered. The edition is presented in a custom portfolio box covered in Brillianta cloth. Each number in the edition is offered with an accompanying signed and numbered toned gelatin silver photographic print by David Scheinbaum printed by the artist. The limited edition will offer four choices, Te Pito O Te Henua, Easter Island (Rapa Nui), 2003; Psyche Revived by Cupid's Kiss, The Louvre, Paris, France, 1997; Tofuku-ji Temple, Kyoto, Japan, 2000; or Dindigul, India, 2000.
David Scheinbaum is the Director of Photography and Artist in Residence at the Santa Fe University of Art and Design.

Q: How do you apply a macro x amount of times per line where x depends on the line Say I have something like
a & 1234567890
b & 1234567890
c & 1234567890
d & 1234567890
e & 1234567890
f & 1234567890

Is there a way to use a vim macro such that I can run a macro/command x amount of times per line, where x depends on the line?
In this case, I run 2wx^ on each line x times, where x is the line number such that the result becomes
a & 234567890
b & 34567890
c & 4567890
d & 567890
e & 67890
f & 7890

Thanks in advance

A: If your macro is recorded in register q, then you can run:
:exec 'normal ' . line('.') . '@q'

on any line you want. Your macro will want the cursor kept on 1st column before being run.
You can also probably do it - better - in a different way, if you describe what you want to do. For example, perhaps you could skip the macro altogether and use something like this instead:
:exec 'normal ^2w' . line('.') . 'xj'

If you need a line offset (e.g. of 1), you could use:
:let nr = line('.') - 1 | execute 'normal ^2w' . nr . 'xj'

The Bulle US NYCO Marpat Trousers, or Marine Corps Combat Utility Uniform (MCCUU) Trousers are an authentic to original, 65% Cotton, 35% Polyester, medium to heavyweight twill trouser. The pants come with the following true to original features: part elasticated waistband, button waist and fly, four-pleat leg pockets instead of traditional BDU pockets, elasticated leg pocket openings, angled knee reinforcement patches, seat reinforcement patches and removal of drawstrings on the ankle hems to prevent unwanted catching or snagging. The knee reinforcement patches open from the inside to allow for the insertion of padding, which is also true to original. The 65% cotton, 35% polyester fabric is quicker to dry compared to a similar weight and weave of 100% cotton. It is also more colourfast and wrinkle resistant than 100% cotton, and will machine wash. The seams are reinforced with double overlock stitching and bar tacked at stress points. The trousers come in sizes S to XXL and can be matched with the NYCO MCCUU shirt in woodland Marpat and NYCO woodland Marpat headwear.

Reporter George Anastasia has been covering the Philadelphia mob scene for the Philadelphia Inquirer for 15 years. Hell discuss the recent trial of reputed mob boss Joseph 'Skinny Joey' Merlino and his associates, which just wrapped up last week. The jury acquitted Merlino and his associates of the serious charges of murder, attempted murder, and drug trafficking, but convicted them of racketeering. During the 15 week trial, 90 witnesses took the stand and 943 evidentiary exhibits were introduced.
The Fall of the Scarfo Family.
Terry talks by phone to Nick Caramandi, a made man in the mafia who turned witness for the government, while in the studio, Philadelphia Inquirer organized crime reporter George Anastasia will join Terry to talk about the life of the Philadelphia mobster. Anastasia has just written a book about the Philadelphia Mafia called "Blood and Honor: Inside the Scarfo Mob - The Mafia's Most Violent Family" (Morrow). Caramandi was a major player in Scarfo's organization before going into hiding under the Federal Witness Protection Program.

Having a way to communicate with your family in times of an emergency is vital. Making an emergency communication plan PRIOR to a disaster is the only way to ensure everyone knows how to keep in touch should anything happen. In times of crisis, having a plan in place will keep everyone more calm and more safe. Being prepared is key to reuniting your family.
If you don't have a an emergency communications plan, how are your family members going to know where to find you if you are at work and a disaster strikes your building? The time when you are most likely to be away from other members of your family is during the day. Children are at school and adults are at work. How do you find your family members if they are at home and something happens to the neighborhood and it has to be evacuated or there is a power outage?
Having a plan in place allows everyone to know where to meet. Furthermore, if they are unable to reach the planned location, they will know who to contact.
Think about how your family is going to get back together in a disaster situation if you are all in different locations. You need to pick a location where you can all meet that is easy to remember.
1) Choose a place in your neighborhood to meet when the disaster is at your home. Pick a place that is familiar to everyone in the family, like the front porch of the neighbors across the street.
2) Choose a place outside of your neighborhood to meet such as a school playground or local park in case it is not possible to get to your home or neighborhood.
3) If you are prevented from getting to either location because of the emergency, have a designated person who can pick up your children at school or daycare, attend to any pets, and/or care for any elderly members of the family (at home or in facilities). This needs to be something that is done automatically if you do not show up. It sounds awful, but it has to be considered.
When an emergency situation arises, communication can be a real challenge. Phone lines can be swamped and cell phone towers can be down. Only make the most essential calls during a disaster crisis. So that your family has a way to ensure everyone is safe when you are not all at the same location, choose two people as emergency contacts. Select someone local for your family members to call and also choose someone out of the area to contact. Long distance calls may still go through when local phone service isn't working. If you are using your cellphone, the preferred method during a disaster is texting. It takes up less bandwidth.
Everyone in your family should know who your emergency contact is and have their home and cell telephone numbers memorized. If you have family members who are very young or elderly or have memory issues, they can have the information written on a 3 by 5 card and kept with their personal items.
Be aware that an out-of-town contact may be in a better position to communicate with separated family members simply because they aren't in the midst of the disaster situation.
Be sure every member of your family knows the phone numbers. Even young children can memorize phone numbers.
In the event that communication systems prevent you from reaching your family, the Red Cross does offer an alternative. As soon as they get a shelter site set up, they can help you register on The American Red Cross Safe and Well website. It is a central location for people in disaster areas in the United States to register their current status. That way, anyone in your family can check on you and see how you are doing. It really relieves stress for people who need updates on how their families are doing when reaching them by phone is impossible.
Store the number of a person to contact in your cell phone under ICE (In Case of Emergency) so authorities know who to call in an emergency should you be unable to do so.
Having an emergency communication plan is great, but it won't do you any good if you don't put it all in place. Take the time to practice your plan with your family. That means actually going to the places you have designated as meeting places. Your family members, especially children, need to see those places. Place the important phone numbers by the telephones in your house. Put the ICE information in your cell phone. Talk to your neighbors. You have to implement the plan if it is going to work.
Here is another thing to consider: Check with your employer, your child's daycare center or school and even your church about their emergency communication plans. Not all organizations are as prepared as you would expect them to be. Take the lead if you have to and offer to create a plan for your office or your child's daycare center. Most schools have plans in place and if you ask to see them, you should be able to get access. Talk to your child about the plans your school has and make sure he/she knows what to do if a disaster strikes. With regard to your neighborhood, many times you can meet with the people closest to you and talk to them about specific scenarios and figure out what you could do as a group to get through the situation as a team.

The Highlights of Justin Trudeau's Cabinet
Bill Morneau – Minister of Finance:
With Morneau staying at Finance, it is clear that Justin Trudeau is doubling down on his never-ending deficits, out-of-control wasteful spending, tax hikes on hard-working Canadians and Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs), and has no plan to deal with a possible recession or economic downturn.
Chrystia Freeland – Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs:
After being shut out in Alberta, the Trudeau Liberals are desperately trying to spin Freeland as a passionate voice for the province; however, no PR campaign is going to change the fact this downtown Toronto MP spent the last four years at the cabinet table signing off on anti-energy Trudeau Liberal policies. Freeland did nothing and said nothing when Trudeau destroyed the energy sector in the last Parliament. Why would anybody believe she will be different this time?
François-Philippe Champagne – Minister of Foreign Affairs:
Two Canadians are being illegally detained in China. China has shut down access to Canadian canola. China is shutting down democracy protests in Hong Kong. What does our new Minister of Global Affairs think of China?
"In a world of uncertainty, unpredictability, of questioning about the rules that have been established our trading relationship, Canada and I would say China, stands out as a beacon of stability, predictability, a rule-based system, a very inclusive society." (CGTN, May 9th, 2017)
Ask the one million Uyghur Muslims detained in China if they think China is a "very inclusive" society.
Ask Michael Kovrig and Michael Spavor if they think China is a "rule-based" society.
Seamus O'Regan – Minister of Natural Resources:
This is the third cabinet portfolio O'Regan has held in the last three years – each one has been a bigger disaster than the last.
In August 2019, O'Regan was resoundingly criticized for an out-of-touch statement on the consequences of Bill C-69 to the Newfoundland and Labrador Oil and Gas Industry Association. If he can't even listen to the natural resources industry in his own home province, how can he be expected to listen to the rest of the country?
Steven Guilbeault – Minister of Canadian Heritage:
Guilbeault will now have a voice at the cabinet table for his opposition to Canada's energy industry, the TMX pipeline, the Third Link, GNL Quebec, and his support for even higher carbon taxes.
Guilbeault spent the entire election campaign, actively opposing the government's public position on TMX and GNL Quebec and he has been rewarded with a seat at the cabinet table. His appointment should be seen as a direct threat to Canada's economic competitiveness and prosperity.
Catherine McKenna – Minister of Infrastructure and Communities:
As Minister of Environment, Catherine McKenna was taken to court by six out of ten provinces over the unconstitutional carbon tax. She has already fractured relationships with the majority of provinces, and now the entirety of her job will require working alongside provincial governments. During the campaign, she was Trudeau's designated attack dog against provincial premiers who stood up to him. As Minister of Infrastructure, she will fight against the Quebec government and the Third Link.
Marie-Claude Bibeau – Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food:
Bibeau failed to stand up for our dairy farmers, our canola farmers, and our pork farmers. She failed to re-open markets in India and China and our farmers are still waiting on the Liberal government promised compensation. How she was not shuffled is beyond us.
Jonathan Wilkinson – Minister of Environment and Climate Change:
Despite representing a Vancouver riding, the Trudeau Liberals are now trying to spin Wilkinson as a voice and representative for Saskatchewan. This doesn't change the fact that Minister Wilkinson sat in cabinet for more than a year and signed-off on and supported disastrous policies that contributed to Canada's national unity crisis, including the tanker ban.
Jean-Yves Duclos – President of the Treasury Board and Minister of Digital Government:
Duclos previously served as the Vice-Chair of Treasury Board, meaning, once again the Trudeau Liberals are doubling down on their record of never-ending deficits, wasteful out-of-control spending, and even higher taxes.
Bill Blair – Minister of Public Safety:
Blair continues to fail upwards. He was responsible for doing nothing to address the more than 50,000 illegal border crossers who have streamed into Canada. He will likely use his new position to continue his long-standing support for the wasteful and ineffective long gun registry, which does nothing to reduce crime.
"…we should not be diverted, here, from the most important point. This is about public safety. The long gun registry has made Canada a safer country. The registry has saved lives. We lose it at our peril." – Chief William Blair, as President, Canadian Association of Chiefs of Police, November 2009
Bernadette Jordan – Minister of Fisheries and Oceans:
During the most recent election campaign Jordan actively supported shutting down a quarter of Canada's oceans which is a direct slap in the face to fishermen in Nova Scotia and across the country who depend on the fishery to support their families and their communities.
Lawrence MacAulay – Minister of Veterans Affairs:
With MacAulay staying at Veterans Affairs, it is clearly Justin Trudeau and the Liberals are doubling down on their "asking for more than we are able to give" approach when it comes to our military heroes.
David Lametti – Attorney General and Minister of Justice:
Justin Trudeau's yes-man for Deferred Prosecution Agreements gets to keep his job. He will not stand up for the independence of the Director of Public Prosecution (DPP) and our institutions. With the election over, look out for SNC-Lavalin to finally get the sweetheart deal they have been lobbying Trudeau for since 2016.
Harjit Sajjan – Minister of National Defence:
Sajjan's casual relationship with the truth and his willingness to cut support for our military heroes has been rewarded by Justin Trudeau. Minister Sajjan oversaw the purchase of used fighter jets, cuts to military healthcare and the Vice-Admiral Mark Norman's fiasco. With his appointment – it is clear that Justin Trudeau is not interested in supporting those who serve this country.
Diane Lebouthillier – Minister of National Revenue:
In the last Parliament, Lebouthillier tried to squeeze Canadians every way she could. She tried to tax employee benefits, cut people off the disability tax credit, and tax campgrounds out of business. The Trudeau Liberals are doubling down on their tax and spend approach. The liberal's plan on fighting tax evasion is a failure.
Melanie Joly – Minister of Economic Development and Official Languages:
Minister Joly spent $8 million on an unnecessary rink on Parliament Hill instead of investing in communities. Clearly she cannot be trusted to oversee meaningful economic development.
Dan Vandal – Minister of Northern Affairs:
It is 2,288 km between Winnipeg and Iqaluit. The only cabinet minister from the Prairies is the Minister of Northern Affairs.
Mary Ng – Minister of Small Business, Export Promotion and International Trade
Minister Ng gets to keep her job despite showing a shocking lack of judgement when she held an ice cream photo op during a visit to China despite two Canadians being detained.

Art and culture > Cultural highlights in SalzburgerLand
Cultural highlights in SalzburgerLand
Enjoy cultural highlights in SalzburgerLand from January to December
You'll find concerts, exhibitions and readings in practically every town. But what makes Salzburg and SalzburgerLand stand out are the cultural events, which can last several days to weeks, forming their own temporary microcosm. The festivals are for music fans what the World Cup is for football fans, they even include public screenings, a dress code and world-class playing. But Salzburg is much more than just the festivals. We have put together a chronological list of some of the most important cultural events in Salzburg.
In Salzburg city
Mozart Week – the start of the cultural year
The Mozart Week in January traditionally marks the start of the year in Salzburg. The Mozarteum has been celebrating Salzburg's most famous son since the 1950s with chamber concerts through to the magnificent Requiem. The Felsenreitschule and the Mozart Residence also hold concerts as part of the celebrations.
Spring to summer – festival time
Snow may still lie on the mountain peaks, but it's still the start of the festival season in Salzburg. Every year, the Easter, Whitsun and Salzburg Festivals turn Salzburg into a Mecca for lovers of classical music. You'll see celebrities parading on the red carpet in front of the Festival Hall, while the locals make a pilgrimage to their Jedermann (Everyman) play or visit the Siemens Fest>Spiel>Nächte on Kapitelplatz to see some of the best performances of the last few years. You'll notice just how unique and exciting Salzburg is during the festival season.
Autumn, the time for jazz
October in Salzburg is all about jazz. "Die Presse" newspaper described this annual event as the "most casual jazz festival in Austria", and it's true. Most concerts are free and you will often be spoilt for choice. Go to Republic where you can see well-known musicians on a large stage whereas only a few hundred metres down the road you can go to a small bar playing funky bebop sounds.
Advent concerts & the Christmas season
Head to Salzburg's historic centre to experience a very special Christmas. The Christmas market around the cathedral is regarded as one of the most beautiful in the world. But there is much more to see, such as the Winterfest in Volksgarten, Waldklang at Waldbad Anif or the Advent market in Hellbrunn. Not forgetting the Advent concerts at the Large Festival Hall, the Castle and a number of other venues scattered around Salzburg.

At the end of May, when the last ski lifts have closed and nature has been given a new lease of life after its well-deserved break, you can enjoy numerous cultural activities in SalzbugerLand in spring and summer:
Golling Festival
The Kleine Festspiele are held at Burg Golling in Golling from mid-July to mid-August. Classical music, jazz, world music and new music come together, complemented by readings and Viennese songs. Angelika Kirchschlager returned in 2016 to perform here under the motto Begegnungen (Encounters). Several other great names have also given concerts here, which are held in the picturesque courtyard when it's good weather.
The Goldegg Dialogues
The Goldegg Dialogues are one of those cultural events that change you, that give you food for thought and new ideas. Once a year, people get together on Goldegg's sunny plateau and discuss a specific topic. Seminars and conversations take place in the heart of inspiring natural surroundings around Goldegg Castle.
Jazz Festival Saalfelden
Saalfelden has become firmly established in the world of jazz. The jazz festival took place at the end of August 2016 for the 37th time and as always had an outstanding programme. An added bonus: concerts are not only held on large stages, you can also enjoy music in a meadow as well as in the middle of the town in the open air.

sommer.frische.kunst, Bad Gastein
Bad Gastein, once known as the Monte Carlo of the Alps, is gradually regaining its former glory. Partly responsible for this is the sommer.frische.kunst festival in Bad Gastein, which is home to renowned artists and puts together an excellent programme of workshops and exhibitions. Take a day trip to this charming town, you won't regret it. Or better still, stay for several days to truly feel what it's like to be in a town full of art.
Salzburg's Bauernherbst harvest festival
For some people, summer is the time for relaxing and holidays. But for farmers it means work, work and more work. They naturally get to celebrate in autumn when it's quieter in the pastures and all of the animals and people have returned to the valleys safe and sound. September and October is full of traditions. You can celebrate the harvest festival with the locals and other holidaymakers while brass bands playing in the villages sweeten the golden autumn evenings. Or visit one of the many folk music festivals, with accordion music and gstanzl songs, with bacon, alp cheese and good farmhouse bread that many a tourist will remember for a long time to come. The Bauernherbst runs from the end of August until the end of October and is celebrated with fervour in the Innergebirg regions – simply a must.
© SalzburgerLand Tourismus, Coen Kossmann – Bauernherbst festival in Lammertal
Insider tip: The HeuART in Lammertal takes place every year at the end of August and shows what can be done with hay apart from just feeding it to cattle. The parade is accompanied by a colourful festival, with everything from huge sculptures to elegant (and probably also itchy) clothes.
Mountain Advent and the Christmas season
As the year draws to an end, Christmas comes to SalzburgerLand. And life becomes calmer once the first snow has fallen in the valleys. This makes the get-togethers and festivals during the Advent period even more warm-hearted – be it at the Advent concerts in the churches, the Christmas markets or the nativity plays. You can listen to alp horns in Grossarl valley and hear horses snorting as they pull carriages through the snow-covered landscapes in the Pinzgau valleys. But the only place you will find a flurry of activity is where you would in fact expect an oasis of calm – the Christmas preparations in Oberndorf operate at full stretch and guests from all over the world flock here as about 200 years ago Silent Night was sung here for the first time. But calm is restored here as soon as it is Christmas Eve.
So you see that you would actually need to move to SalzburgerLand or at least come here several times a year to experience everything that goes on in the state. We look forward to seeing you …

Our team had the opportunity to volunteer at County Line Orchard's Farm To Table dinner this weekend. What a wonderful event celebrating local food, and a wonderful opportunity for us — the Orchard will host our FED event in a few months in exchange for our volunteer work.
The event was founded in 2011 by Ryan Richardson, owner of County Line Orchard, and Anne McShane-Massie, who is now Board Secretary for NWI Food Council. Anne continues to source all the local food for the event, which sets an important example for other other farm-to-table events: supporting local producers by purchasing their ingredients at a fair price.

Personal InjuryWhat Does a Stolen Heart Have to Do With Texas Medical Malpractice Reform?
June 8, 2016by The Law Offices of Aaron Allison
As if suing for medical malpractice wasn't hard enough in Texas, a Texas Supreme Court ruling last month just made it even more difficult. The ruling increased state limitations on medical malpractice lawsuits by declaring that though a corpse is not technically a patient, the examinations of a deceased body can still be subject to Texas medical malpractice rules and regulations. This includes a cap on damages as well as a two-year statute of limitations.
This ruling resulted from an 11-year-old case, when a patient died under strange circumstances in Katy, Texas. The private autopsy was done by a pathologist at a separate hospital. However, it was later discovered both the hospital the patient died in as well as the hospital in which the autopsy was taking place were owned by the same company. Anticipating the lawsuit, the hospital misled the widow and the medical examiner removed the dead patient's heart and kept it as evidence the man died of a "heart attack." The widow filed a lawsuit and after years of court proceedings, the hospital was ordered to return the patient's heart to the widow.
As it turned out, the heart contained no human DNA and, according to the forensic biologist that examined the heart, there was a "real possibility that the heart submitted was not human."
Does an Autopsy Count as Health Care?
The strange case made its way to the Texas Supreme Court in order to answer the questions: Should an autopsy fall under the definition of health care, even though the patient is clearly not alive? Does this mean there is a cap on damages if an autopsy goes wrong, as it did in this case where the heart was removed without consent and possibly switched out with an animal heart?
Unfortunately in this case, the widow did not meet the statute of limitations for Texas medical malpractice lawsuits. She did not file the lawsuit within the strict, two-year statute of limitations and she did not hire a medical expert when she filed the lawsuit, which means she cannot pursue a medical malpractice claim.
It seems the hospital in Katy succeeded in broadening the Texas Medical Liability Act (TMLA) and has made it more difficult for families of medical malpractice victims to recover damages.

When corrupt authority wishes to censor a medium, it begins at the point of least resistance: It targets only those whom it can label as lawbreakers. This is easiest to do when its targets are relatively weak and unpopular — people like child pornographers. But this will only carry it so far; eventually, it needs to start testing its ability to pursue large numbers of comparatively minor "lawbreakers," such as those whom it accuses of copyright infringement.
This is how free speech ends: not with a roar, but with a whisper.
We may remain in this secondary stage for some time; after all, such enforcement directly serves the pecuniary interest of industries that can afford a lot of campaign contributions and can mount effective public relations campaigns for those who aid them or against those who don't. But in the process, the "enforcers" develop the procedures they will need should they ever deem their power sufficiently threatened to institute similar censorship of, for example, a site that persistently leaks their secrets.
This, however, represents only a tiny fraction of the authorities' ambition. Since 2006, the Pentagon has been laying plans to "fight" the internet, as a whole, as if it were an "enemy weapons system." This, in turn, is part of a still larger strategy:
And, in a grand finale, the document recommends that the United States should seek the ability to "provide maximum control of the entire electromagnetic spectrum." ... U.S. forces should be able to "disrupt or destroy the full spectrum of globally emerging communications systems, sensors, and weapons systems dependent on the electromagnetic spectrum."
Ultimately, then, it appears that the U.S. government has identified the real enemy that it wants to suppress: us.

But I will say that the topics that ended up "parked" were telling, because they went to the heart of the "specific interest" preference. The big ones I recall were essay questions, and prior report cards. When asked on a pre-admission application, these are the kinds of questions that give the choice to the school, not the family. And those were the ones that sparked the most discussion and could not be agreed on in one night.

Ali Saleem blows kisses at camera as he appears in court over booze charges
https://www.samaa.tv/wp-content/uploads//usr/nfs/sestore3/samaa/vodstore/digital-library/2018/09/Ali-Saleem-kiss-WINE-CASE-UPD-15-09.mp4
Undeterred by the charges of booze possession, actor and host Ali Saleem blew kisses at the camera as he was brought to court in Karachi on Wednesday.
Ali Saleem, better known for his character on television, Begum Nawazish Ali, was arrested along with a friend by the police Tuesday night from a guest house.
According to police, both were intoxicated when they were arrested. Bottles of liquor were also found at the guest house, the police said. Ali Saleem's blood alcohol test turned out positive.
The media initially reported that actor Meera was also at the guest house at the time of the raid, however, the police denied this.
Talking to SAMAA TV on Wednesday, Meera said that there was no party at the guest house. "We were shooting for a movie when the police in civilian clothing conducted the raid," she said. "Ali Saleem was sleeping in the next room at the time of the raid," she added.

Finland lost its AAA credit rating from Standard & Poor's Ratings Services on Friday. The ratings firm cut the Nordic country's long-term rating one notch to AA-plus, citing a deterioration in economic growth prospects that could complicate efforts to consolidate Finland's public finances and cut public debt. S&P said Finland's economy has lagged most peers, with gross domestic product on track to shrink in real terms in 2014 for a third straight year. S&P emphasized Finland's underperformance on the export front, calling it a "sign of lower competitiveness." Finland is also vulnerable to neighboring Russia's economic weakness and, more significantly, to any slowdown of economic activity in the eurozone, the ratings firm said. The euro remained around 0.5% lower versus the dollar at $1.2625.

Banana flavored and loaded with aprox. 950-1000 mg is a dabbers dream. Comes in a glass dispenser for easy dabbing or squirting needs. This very clear, thick and very fine banana distillate, has THC levels of 85%+.
I used it for dabs simply inject a bit on a dabbing tool at room temperature and it wasnt too liquid or thick: it was simply sticking lightly on my glass dabbing tool. Taste is almost non existant besside the light banana flavor and it is super easy on the throat even compared to the best quality shatter.

'I'm too scared to fly the flag'
SIR Geoff Hurst, hero of England's 1966 World Cup victory, said he is too frightened to fly with British Airways, fearing the airline could become a target following the 11 September terrorist attacks.
Is Sir Geoff right? Click here to discuss this on our message boards
Hurst, who put three past West Germany's goalkeeper to help secure a 4-2 victory, said he was due to travel to Australia soon - but would probably use an Arab airline.
'We're all concerned in this country it could affect us in some respects as we're linked so closely as allies to the Americans,' Hurst told BBC radio. 'You start thinking about flying now...You think 'am I going to fly BA?'. I'm not sure. It's affecting the airlines of course...I'm going to Australia shortly and I'm not going to fly BA. I'm going to go with an Arab airline.'
Asked why he had chosen an Arab airline, Hurst added: 'Because when they attacked the World Trade Centre, they used American Airlines. We're associated with America. British Airways is a world carrier...so if they're going to do something in the future...they may pick BA.'
BA said: 'Sir Geoff is a valued customer of ours who travelled the world with BA when supporting England's 2006 World Cup bid. So we are surprised at these remarks. We would be more than happy for Sir Geoff to meet our head of security to discuss any concerns he may have.'
The terrorist attacks have triggered a collapse in airline travel, forcing several carriers to the wall and costing tens of thousands of jobs. BA, facing a loss this year of an estimated £775m, has already axed 7,000 jobs and more staff are expected to follow.

Warby Parker: A Worthy Vision ...
Warby Parker: A Worthy Vision for the Future
ESME's Jan Deal

The "buy one, get one" (BOGO) model is becoming increasingly popular among for-profit businesses wanting to do good in developing countries, which is very cool. But although the desire to donate goods is laudable, the "one for one" model has its pitfalls. Case in point: when everyone in a community can get a free pair of shoes, say, or glasses or whatever the item may be, local vendors get pushed out of business. The local economy suffers, and the donation, though coming from a desire to help, becomes a short-term solution that causes its own problems. Enter Warby Parker, the prescription glasses and sunglasses retailer known not only for its stylish, affordable frames but also for its progressive approach to doing good.
Warby Parker does, indeed, have a Buy a Pair, Give a Pair program. But the retailer doesn't stop there. Its mandate is to empower. To do this, the company works with partners worldwide to employ two distribution models: in the first, Warby Parker makes it possible for local adults in low-income communities to learn to administer basic eye exams and sell glasses for reasonable prices. The company also provides vision care and glasses directly to school-aged children right in the classroom, since teachers are often the first to notice sight-related issues.
The retailer's primary partner in this endeavor is the nonprofit VisionSpring, which provides boots-on-the-ground insight into how local economies function and what types of products might be culturally appropriate. Warby Parker gets the funding and glasses to VisionSpring; VisionSpring then teaches local would-be entrepreneurs what they need to know to start their own business selling ultra-affordable glasses.
Warby Parker's endgame is to develop jobs and help individuals start and sustain a business—even as they get glasses into the hands of those who need them. In other words, instead of creating dependency on sometimes-unpredictable donations, the company helps communities become self-sufficient. To date, Warby Parker has taken its socially responsible BOGO model to more than 50 countries, from Zimbabwe to Bangladesh.
Talk about a strong vision.

TheLoneRider Thought Bubble: Dyan Castillejo is a total package - brains, beauty and fitness. With her work, she meets the most interesting people - industry movers and shakers, powerful community leaders and trend-setting celebrities. It must be tough being Dyan Castillejo's husband. How can you make yourself interesting to her when she meets the most interesting people in her line of work?
Still reeling from the activities from Sonny's Samal resort, Maxima Aquafun, I got another invite from him to join him and the Sports Unlimited production crew including the dynamic duo, Marc Nelson and Dyan Castillejo. Meeting at the Davao Crocodile Park, it just dawned on me - with Sonny's flair for the outdoors and working with crocodiles in his park, who needs a Crocodile Dundee when Davao already has a Crocodile Sonny? Shortly thereafter, Dyan, Marc and the production crew arrived. Everyone was cool. First stop was Pangil, the largest croc in the park, probably the largest in the country now that Lolong is gone - long live Lolong! While walking around the park, I realized it's not just a crocodile park - it's a zoo with reticulated pythons, orangutans, exotic birds, even tigers! I'm not a fan of caged animals, but sadly, their best chances of survival are now in captivity. At least at the Crocodile Farm, they get professional management, treated well and fed well.
After a hearty lunch at a Chinese restaurant (thank you, Sonny!), we proceeded to Zip City. Perched on top of a mountainous area but only 45 mins away from the city, Zip City offers a refreshing view of the city while serving beer and burgers. It's the perfect getaway from the city as you hang-out there watching the sunset while downing a few coldies. Later at night, the city lights illuminate the horizon as the chilly mountain air makes it conducive to sharing human warmth.
Of course, the main deal at Zip City are its two adrenaline-pumping Hang-Over Drop and the Zipline. With the Hang Over - you climb up a steel scaffolding, then you're strapped with full body harness and hooked-up into a belay system while a guy down below controls the dynamic rope as you go into a free-fall. It's a rush! If you're drunk, maybe it gets you back to your senses. If you're an atheist, maybe you'll believe there's a God as you feel the bottom lid pulled out from underneath you. The zipline is no less exciting. Its harness system is such that you can do an inversion while going Mach 1 (don't take it too literally!).
TheLoneRider Thought Bubble: When Moses passes, the Red Sea parts. But when Marc Nelson passes, the ladies get soaked! Dude, you gotta gimme some of that mojo!
After downing the juicy cheeseburger, we rushed to the playground of the 199 Off Road House. This crew goes all-out pimping out their wicked off-roaders. They built a special course that defy the imagination. Patriarch Johnny Ferrazini took the time to describe in detail how it's negotiated. Still, I was shaking my head. Too bad there wasn't enough light to see it done.
Not contented in being passive passengers on the off-road jeeps, Dyan and Marc took the wheels and ripped through the course themselves. Yeah, these guys aren't just pretty faces for the camera. They take the bull by the horns and white-knuckle it from there. Marc, a seasoned off-roader, couldn't complement the jeeps enough - for handling, power and driver-friendliness. Dyan has never done a 4X4 off-road, but that didn't stop her. These guys know how to have fun. It was already dark by the time we left. Sonny invited for dinner, but I had to attend to pressing matters on the web...or pressing matters at The Royale House Travel Inn?
It was a fun-filled day with the crocs, the ziplining and the 4x4s. Add to that the X-factor brought-in by the Sports Unlimited crew and it was pure Rock 'en Roll. Sonny outdid himself again by pulling rabbits out of a hat making sure the day is choc-full-of-adrenaline surprises...wonder what he's got under his sleeve for next. Thank you Crocodile Sonny!
(Sep 27, 2013)I have not been to Maxima AquaFun Resort and Wild Water Rafting, but I've been to Crocodile Farm. I enjoyed the show, the tribal dance, and the fire dance. I wish though that they will give Davao residents or better yet, local tourist, a discount.
(Aug. 19, 2013) Wow what a descriptive write up.. Thanks!

Interview: Lebanese solidarity with Palestinian refugees
Joyce ChediacAugust 22, 2019
Front banner reads: Labor Minister Kamil abu Sleiman's plan doesn't represent us. The rear banner reads: Full civil, economic, social rights for Palestinian refugees. Jana Nakhal is on the front banner. Facebook photo provided by Naklhl.
Editors note: For two months, Palestinian refugees in Lebanon have been in rebellion against new labor laws discriminating against them and against Syrian refugees. Already denied more than 70 jobs, in order to work in Lebanon Palestinians must now apply for costly work permits and pay into social security for services they are denied. They also face workplace raids targeting refugees. The Palestinian uprising has received scant coverage in the western media. Receiving even less coverage is the growing solidarity between Lebanese and Palestinians in the refugee camps. To shed light on the situation, Liberation News interviewed Jana Nakhal, a member of the Central Committee of the Lebanese Communist Party, who is active in organizing against anti-refugee policies. Steps are underway, she says, to organize a new Lebanese-Palestinian alliance.
Liberation News: I understand that the rightwing Lebanese Forces is behind these new restrictions on Palestinian and Syrian refugees.
Jana Nakhal: Yes, the Labor Minister Kamil Abu Sleiman is a big businessman from the Lebanese Forces, and he is the one behind these restrictions and raids. The Lebanese labor law has special amendments which were agreed upon in 2010 in order for the Palestinian refugees to have better access to jobs. The amendments weren't implemented. The minister doesn't want to implement them and want to "apply the law."
LN: Why these laws now? What do other parties in the government think of this?
JN: There are internal and external reasons. Internally, the system is trying to save itself. The Lebanese economy is at the edge of bankruptcy. All sectors are crippled, the state is becoming increasingly violent because they can't hide the numbers signaling the imminent bankruptcy.
'The street is boiling'
There have been demonstrations in Palestinian camps, demonstrations organized by Lebanese in support of the rights of foreign workers, refugees, the queer community and non-believers.
Mashrou' Layla is a local band which is very vocal in supporting queer rights. On Aug, 9 they had a concert in the city of Byblos. The right wing, led by the Maronite church in an ISIS-like attack, launched a campaign against them and forced them to cancel the concert due to a song which mentions "in the name of the father, the son."
Palestinians come out of the refugee camp to receive Lebanese supporters. Photo: Facebook, Jana Nakhal.
Queer groups, atheists, secularists, leftists, communists, and other led a campaign in support of the band. The result was a free concert in Beirut in support of queer rights, religious views, refugees, etc. For the first time in Lebanon, we witnessed banners supporting the rights of Palestinian refugees along with queer and trans flags. I think this is also the first time this has happened in Arab country.
There have been demonstrations for employee's rights, because the state wants to steal their pensions, environmental demonstrations have taken place all across the country. There are strikes and demonstrations at the public university as well as at the American university, which wants to force its students to pay their tuition in U.S. dollars. "The street is boiling," as we say here.
The state can't hide anymore. Its old alibi of setting sectarian\religious groups against one another by blaming one sect for being rich in order to create tensions with other sects is not working anymore, because almost everyone can see that poverty has hit people from all sects.
Right wing scapegoats refugees
This means that capitalists need to find another narrative, a new scapegoat: the refugees. They are blamed for everything, from electricity cuts, which have never stopped since the 1975-90 Civil War, to unemployment. All political parties in Lebanon are supporting this discourse except the Lebanese Communist Party. They are all part of the system.
Externally, there is the infamous "Trump's Deal of the Century." This has resulted in Palestinian refugees being pushed out of Palestine and then out of the region in an attempt to take away from them any connection to their land. Not only that, like any imperialist endeavor, this project aims at cutting the Palestinian people's ties with the land, history, and to the conception of resistance. This project is betting that alienating the Palestinian people from the idea of Palestine, both physically\spatially and conceptually, will be the way to totally dismiss the right of return.
LN: Could you describe the uprising now taking place in the Palestinian camps?
JN: The Palestinian camps have a beautiful uprising. It has earned the name of "The Palestinian Popular Movement," or simply "The Movement." For six weeks now, Palestinians from all backgrounds and factions in all camps have organized outside their corrupt factions, going on strikes, demonstrations and developing a very well-informed discourse which demonstrates the high level of political awareness in the camps, despite the lack of political activities for a long time now.
But the problem is that the media has not been covering The Movement.
The Lebanese voice which refuses racism
So Palestinians called upon the Lebanese to demonstrate and raise a voice against the only Lebanese voice now heard, which is co-opting the media. They asked us to be the Lebanese voice which refuses racism and the labor minister's project. So we started organizing, using our privilege for once, showing that this discourse doesn't represent us. Opposition from inside the system is, as we all know, very efficient.
Friday, Aug. 9 was our second action. It was organized in collaboration with the Palestinian movement which was leading three demos at the same time in the three camps of Beirut, Mar Elias Camp, Shatila Camp and Burj Barajneh Camp.
We started our demonstration outside the camp in Badaro, walked all the way to the Shatila Camp to meet the demonstrators there. The meeting was a very emotional moment. The whole camp was in the streets, people chanting together and welcoming us with tears, organizers crying from both sides, because they weren't feeling alone anymore. Solidarity is empowering, it makes us feel less powerless and small in the face of the system.
LN:What do the Lebanese people think of these laws restricting Palestinian and other refugees?
JN: There are diverse views concerning these laws. The media is covering only one view, so we are showing that there is more.
The Palestinian and leftist social media pages have been sharing very emotional pictures and videos of these demos, because the mainstream media isn't. I have already mentioned the on-going solidarity movement created. The Lebanese Communist Party is participating in it along with independent individuals, feminists, leftists, etc.
'The country has space for everyone'
The main slogans up to now are:" The country has space for everyone," " Work is a right for everyone" ( El balad bisa' el Kell, el shoghl ha" lal kell). We say "the country has space for everyone" because the right wing is saying, "this country is small, there are too many people, there are no jobs that can answer everyone's needs, so the non-Lebanese need to leave."
LN: Is there an analogy with anti-ICE protests here in the U.S.?
JN: There definitely is an analogy. It is the same right wing wave hitting states everywhere. The Lebanese right wing, always eager to mimic their western lords, is only "Lebanon-izing" the discourse.
For the first time in Lebanon, and possibly in any Arab country, banners supporting the rights of Palestinian refugees were carried along with queer and trans flags. The banner reads: Full civil, economic, social rights for Palestinian refugees. Photo: Jana Nakhal, Facebook.

Final testing of all-electric Taycan: "It drives like a true Porsche"
Source: Porsche
The all-electric Porsche Taycan has entered it final stage of testing, according to the luxury sportscar maker which has released more images of its first sportscar with pure electric drivetrain.
Due to commence production later this year, the Taycan is undergoing final testing procedures in a variety of environments such as in the icy climes just south of the Arctic Circle, in the searing heat of Dubai and in rugged South Africa.
The tests, says Stefan Weckbach who is in charge of developing the electric model range, so is not entirely independent, show that the "Taycan is going to be a true Porsche".
In Scandinavia, the Taycan's ability to handle the harsh driving conditions of ice and snow is being tested – as well as factors such as temperature control of the drivetrain and the charging ability of the battery.
In Dubai, it is the extreme heat demands on battery charging that is being tested, as well as "endurance runs", while in South Africa Porsche is testing the car's performance.
"Before the Taycan is launched on the market at the end of the year, we will have covered approximately six million kilometres across the globe," says Weckbach. "We are already very happy with the current status of the vehicles."
In an in-house interview last August, he said:
"The Taycan drives like a Porsche, looks like a Porsche, and feels like a Porsche," Weckbach said.
"It just happens to have a different type of drive. Even an electric sports car can be puristic and highly emotional. We don't consider that a contradiction.
With its advanced 800-volt charging system that can allow ultra fast charging at 350kW, the vehicle can add 100km to its driving range in as little as 4 minutes.
Porsche has definitely put the electric sportscar through its paces – out of its 6 million total kilometres, 2 million of these have been during endurance runs.
When it is released on the market in September 2019, there are already 20,000 buyers who have expressed serious interest in the vehicle, the carmaker says.
Expected to arrive on the Australian market in mid-2020, it is the production version of the Mission-E which was on show at Sydney's Barangaroo in October last year.
Porsche has not yet announced a price for the Porsche Taycan either here or overseas, but with a purported 500km driving range under the NEDC cycle, it will likely have around 405km of real world driving range.
