KIDDY GiRL-AND – 13
FAIRY TAIL – 15
With the blizzard outside over, Miles prepares his men to kill Kimblee and Kimblee's two subordinates. Ed opposes the idea of killing them, but Miles warns him that letting his guard down will get him or others killed. Meanwhile, still in the tunnels, Marcoh's group stops for a rest, and Scar helps decode part of the research documents. Much of it is about immortality and gold, and May Chang reveals that those two things are connected for the Xing, with one theory being that the person who taught alchemy to the Xing had gold hair and was immortal. The group then finds the exit of the tunnels, and shortly thereafter, they also find Al buried in the snow. He tells them about the change at Briggs and how they have to hide somewhere else, so Scar decides to take them to a nearby village.
Back at the mining town, Ed is now accompanied by one of Miles' men inside a suit of armor that looks like Al. Since Kimblee is looking for an underground route, Miles has his men set up sniper positions nearby, but Ed decides to go talk with Kimblee first. Ed wants Kimblee to leave the search to the Briggs soldiers, however Kimblee has realized what's going on around him and uses alchemy to kick up all the snow in the area. This allows him to get away, and while his two Chimera subordinates keep Ed busy, Kimblee comes across a bunch of footprints. Ed meanwhile finds himself at a disadvantage initially because the Chimera can rely on their smell with this low visibility, but he turns around and uses this to his advantage by transmuting a bunch of dynamite into ammonia, the smell of which takes out the Chimera.
Ed then catches up with Kimblee, and Kimblee prepares to fight with his Philosopher's Stone, but Ed proves faster than anticipated, knocking the stone away and cutting Kimblee's hand. Ed thinks that he's won, but Kimblee feels that Ed should have finished him off in that moment and reveals that he's got another Philosopher's Stone. He uses it to blow up the floor, sending Ed and the Chimera falling down into the shaft below. When Ed regains consciousness, he realizes that he's been impaled by a metal beam. Although the initial shock causes him to collapse, Ed finds enough strength to transmute away the back part of the metal beam. At around this same time, Al collapses as well because his body is pulling at his soul again.
Back in the mine shaft, Ed uses alchemy to free the Chimera from where they are buried so that they can pull the piece of metal out of him. His plan is to use alchemy to close the wound after the beam is out, and he knows that in lieu of a Philosopher's Stone, he'll have to use his own life. As one of the Chimera pulls out the beam, Ed focuses on how he's a Philosopher's Stone of one soul, and he tries to remember the feeling from when he used Envy's stone. In the end, Ed is successful, but he's too weak to continue on after Kimblee. One of the Chimera then finds the Philosopher's Stone that Kimblee dropped, and since he and his counterpart decide that they're free now, they carry Ed with them as they go looking for a way out and a doctor.
So the first half of the episode was innocent enough with Al being found by Marcoh's group and the beginning of the showdown with Kimblee. If nothing else, I found fake Al to be pretty amusing. That left the second half, and it looked to be where all the action was. The battle between Ed and Kimblee's Chimera was nice, but it was much more interesting to see Ed go up against Kimblee himself because of how the tide of battle swung both ways: Ed first having the edge physically and Kimblee then revealing and using his back-up Philosopher's Stone.
And that's where things really got good. I was pretty shocked to see Ed impaled like that (come to think of it, that would have made a great cliffhanger too), but what really got me was seeing the Chimera guy pull the beam out of him and Ed using alchemy and his own life energy to help close the wound. It was such an incredibly intense scene, and I loved how Ed called himself a Philosopher's Stone of one soul. Of course, Paku Romi deserves a lot of the credit too for how she was able to convey Ed's determination along with all the pain and screaming.
The irony of course is that the Chimera found the lost Philosopher's Stone afterward. It's a shame that Ed isn't still conscious because I get the feeling that they'll forget to give it to him or will lose it again or something. Anyway, from the preview, it looks like we're going to be seeing Rose next week as well as Hohenheim who appears to get attacked by Pride. The series sure is heating up again.
Nice pictures

Let's just say, this is only the beginning 😉 Stuff will becomin even more exciting soon ;D
. . thanks CS. I don't know what we'd do without your vague, needless baiting every other person feels they have to put up there.
Why can't Winry be the one to get impaled through the skull?
Homuncurus!
Third! Omg.. EDDDDD!
Ed, just because you vowed not to kill, doesn't mean you can't knock your opponent out!
Romi Paku sure delivered. Delivered HARD. No way can you-know-who possibly measure up to that.
A very solid episode. I loved Yoki's yells in English of "HELP ME!"
penguintruth
cant get enough of FMA action!!
The Ed impalement was a cliffhanger in the manga. And I remember that at the time it came out, half of animesuki were going "whaaaat!????" Arakawa really knows how to bait her readers.
egress63
I really LOVED THIS EPISODE. OMG. xD!
Acylia
Yay for Lion King!! My favorite chimera. 😛
Gwaihir
rose is going to get raped by soldiers again?
@paul:
no, don't fear. she won't get a big role and will disappear soon enugh. gladly.
I SO waited for this scene. omg. But it really would have been better if they ended the episode at a cliffhanger :<
nevertheless, romi paku did a really good job.
ama-ri
I am actually kind of glad they didn't end with Ed getting impaled. I am pretty sure everyone would have known he was going to pull through anyways.

this was an EPIC episode!!!!!!!!
Damn it!!! The ending was freaking awesome along with the ending song fusion. Cant wait for the next eps
Loved the episode. Now that the story is out of Briggs territory, things are starting to get interesting once again.
SPOILER AHEAD
… no Ed for a few episodes!

Is very good picures, thanks a lot for this, and great preview, bye!! 🙂
Lin-Meitoky
Is it me or was the music track playing during the preview a new one? If it was, maybe we'll start hearing new music? Im sick of listening to the same soundtrack since episode 1.
They move pretty quick to get from that mining town to Lior again. I'll have to check the manga to see how long it took there. It seemed longer to me. I hope they can slow down a little bit to not ruin this anime by having it coincide with the ending.
Cornwiggle
@Cornwiggle
I don't believe the group will get to Lior quite next episode, as I think that will just be the scene where Hohenheim gets there and runs into Rose, iirc. Also, Show Spoiler ▼
judging by episode titles, I think 43 is gonna be the fight against Envy, and I remember there was snow in that scene, so I don't think they get to Lior for a while.
Nyasu
I'd like some scene in the next episode to show how Hohenheim got from wherever he was with Izumi and Sig to Lior.
YES! I LOVE THE CHAPTERS THIS EP. IS BASED ON!! Wow, actually they are going fast.
@penguintruth
Right, because it's incredibly important to show the unrelated-to-the-plot traveling of one person from one city to the next. Fuck Bones if they dont show it cause thats valuable information!
Penguintruth, I thought for sure the whole Izumi thing (Bido as well) would be in this episode. They can't not show that part…I mean, Bido is the whole reason as to why Greed plays such a role coming up again.
Though, I really don't know how they'll do it without Maison.
@Damian:
He makes a perfectly valid point, you know. The story isn't solely about Ed, there's a lot of other characters. Having perfectly logical progression is…part of a well told story.
Otherwise, any character can just appear out of nowhere whenever they're needed. (Like the first anime loved to do).
Gutts
Based on how they're skipping so much Xing stuff (yes, i'm STILL not over Ranfan vs Envy) I'm sure once Greed pops up again they'll have gotten out of a why.
youkokun
I'm sure if we don't see the Bido scene soon, they will pull a random King Bradley at Devil's Nest again…except this time a random Bido wandering around the underground tunnels.
Vlyse
@Gutts
But not even the manga shows anything of Hohenheim after he reveals himself to Izumi, he just appears in Lior next time we see him. What kind of progression, or rather important progression, is showing him walking to Lior? None.
@ everyone discussing tha manga and one certain "Bido-scene"
Aaaaaand stop there. If damian didn't get it, he didn't get it.
Don't spoil the fun! 😀
Thank you. xD
The fuck you mean I didnt get it? I know exactly what you people are talking about, dont patronize me.
you people want the scene where Bido follows the soldiers to Central after they go look for her
I wasnt talking about that, in fact I never even mentioned that. I was talking about what penguin said about Hohenheim. He said he wanted a scene that shows how Hohenheim got to Lior? What? Why? Not only is that never shown in the manga but its needless exposition.
I was so pumped for this episode. Romi Paku is FREAKING amazing. Like..holy crap. I actually sighed after Heinkel pulled the rod out at the same time as DK and Lion King 😀 Seriously intense 😀
God i loved this scene. Not many people can have the clarity of mind to quickly think of a clear solution to save themselves after realising they've been impaled. Ily Romi Paku, the greatest seiyuu EVER.
QnTiria
I meant to put @Acylia, but instead put it as my name. My bad.
Damn.. The beam yanking part was crazy!!!!!!!!!!
I actually cringed at the thought of it. AMAZING!!!!!
@ damian
Oh, sorry… I guess I misunderstood. I apologize.
[Haha, oh, yeah, I saw you used my name. xD I kinda freaked out when I noticed "I" had been posting while I slept… no matter, though… just don't do it again xD]
But really, I do apologize if I said something that pissed you off, I just felt like the conversation was starting to touch on "spoiler"ish stuff from the manga, that's why I said it. Sorry. 🙂
Everyone is right, that wasn't seen in the manga. It still implies everything Hohenheim told Izumi and Sig, so it's fine.
I just think it really needs that Bido scene though to tie it all together. I really hope it's next episode. You know, that scene answers so much. Just why did Izumi and Sig leave Dublith when they have a shop? We don't know as of yet. Without Maison, we wonder how they could leave. Once that scene is shown, not only will we know why, but also what Central's newest plan as well.
I also would have liked just to SEE Greed behind Father before his flashback started (like in the manga). Just so you can have your question about "Where the heck is Greed now?" answered. Sitting behind Father, bored out of his mind.
I know it's a bit premature but I'm sort of wondering what they are gonna do when they get to the scene with May and Envy and her "naive" decision if they changed the way she was introduced into the series and didn't even show all those characters in the Yoki story.
Ah, I wish her introduction was like in the manga with her saving them at the mines…it made me immediatly think she was awesome, but the way she was introduced in the anime makes her come off as more annoying and unnecessary.
JackDawkins
great episode
treble89
I've just seen the episode of fmab with subs, and DAMN did they animated the part where the chimera pulled the beam out of ed VERY well. and this goes into another one of my "epic scene" book. Anyways, this is just the getting started, and things will be heating up even more….again.
MixtureX
oh shit this is awesome. fma's getting really better this past few eps. it keeps me excited.
ahelo

P.S AWESOME EPISODE!!!
Whoops… can some1 remove my comment… I think i dint read the rules properly…
First Al redeems two of Kimblee's chimera henchmen, now Ed redeems two more. I think there is some sort of underlying theme of Ed and Al's cliched principle of not resorting to killing to getting problems solved.
Sometimes I amaze myself, even without being spoiled further by the manga, it does seems like my guess that Hohenheim is the Sage of the West for Xing is true. (I make no apologies for bragging, so sue me. XD )
Hey, Rose is back again. I wonder if I should be glad or disappointed that she will no longer suffer the tragic fate of her counterpart in the first anime series. (Probably means I must be reading too many ero FMA doujinshis. LOL )
Kinny Riddle
Ed saving the lives of his enemies had 2 different effects in this episode. With Kimblee it almost cost him his own life, whereas with the chimeras it resulted in the opposite. I find it interesting. It also shows the different kinds of people which exist. I really liked Kimblee and Ed's fight (2 amazing characters).
However, I LOVED the scene with Ed having the beam removed out of him. I couldn't flaw it, it was incredible. Ed's voice, the animation, the music… even Darius' expression all made the scene. Ed was quite inspirational and moving in the latter part of this episode.
Anyone else notice that Scar no longer had the bandage on his arm from earlier?
It's little continuity errors like that that kinda annoy me. It's right there on the manga page, I don't know why they left it out.
They did the same thing in episode 19 with Barry's hand. Hawkeye shot his body's hand, right through. Yet towards the end when he grabs the soul plate, his hand is perfectly fine, despite bleeding all over the place in the manga shot.
I don't know why it's so hard to add those details.
This episode was soooooo good!
The part where Ed uses his own life energy as a Philosopher's Stone quite intense and I'm definitely gonna re-watch this part time and again ! actually, you know what, I'm going on an FMA Manga marathon RIGHT NOW!
kethy-chan
Great review!
@damian That is just you! The track is called "Next Chapter" and is on the first soundtrack. But I agree that it should be some new music soon.
Staying VERY true to the manga so far. It remains to be seen if BONES really intends to end this at 50+ episodes, and what direction they intend to take the series in if that's really the case, because to do so at some point they'll have to divert.
I hope they make Kimbley's death brutal in the anime…
theburntshadow
Though Ed using his own life energy does make for one of the most intense and awesome scenes ever, I always get frustrated that they notice Kimblee's philosopher's stone RIGHT AFTER. Like GARRRRR.

Trial in San Francisco could lead to the removal of fluoride from drinking water
06/11/2020 / By Isabelle Z.
A trial is currently underway in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco in a lawsuit demanding that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) ban fluoride chemicals from the water supplies across the U.S., and the outcome could finally put an end to a dangerous and common practice throughout the country.
The Fluoride Action Network (FAN) will argue that fluoridating water is a violation of the Toxic Substances Control Act (TSCA), specifically the part relating to the use of a chemical that has been found to pose an unreasonable risk to public health. Section 21 of the act allows citizens to petition the EPA to ban or regulate specific chemicals.
The group began its legal fight when they presented a Citizens' Petition along with several other organizations and individuals back in 2016. It called for the EPA to ban the addition of fluoridation chemicals in American water based on studies showing the chemical is a neurotoxin at the doses that are being used throughout the country.
The trial was first set to begin in August 2019 but was then postponed until this April; the coronavirus crisis meant it had to be pushed back once again. Some of the plaintiffs who joined FAN in the case include Moms Against Fluoridation, Food and Water Watch, the Organic Consumers Association, the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology, and the American Academy of Environmental Medicine.
They presented recent studies showing that when a pregnant woman drinks fluoridated water, her children have a significantly greater likelihood of suffering from neurological damage, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and a lower IQ. They said that fluoridated toothpaste offers the same benefits as fluoridated water without the risks.
The witnesses for the plaintiff include risk assessment scientist Kathleen Thiessen, medical expert Bruce Lanphear, environmental epidemiologist Philippe Grandjean, and scientist Howard Hu. All four witnesses have been used by the EPA in the past as experts on the neurotoxicity of mercury and lead.
Could we see a "historic shift" soon?
Following the first day of testimony in the trial, attorney Michael Connett said that the trial could bring about "a historic shift in how we go about using and regulating fluoride."
The case is being heard by U.S. District Judge Edward Chen without a jury. Chen has already rejected a move by the EPA to introduce evidence in the first phase of the trial showing that fluoride's benefits outweigh its health risks.
The first phase of the trial is scheduled throughout next week. Chen will then decide whether the risk posed by fluoride in drinking water is unreasonable. Should he reach that conclusion, he is expected to order the EPA to start eliminating the risk via rule-making proceedings that they would debate in the trial's second phase.
Fluoride was first added to drinking water in the U.S. in the 1940s, and now it's found in the majority of the water systems that serve big populations. However, some communities have banned it, with one notable location being Portland, Oregon.
In addition to the link between fluoride and problems in children such as low IQ and ADHD, other studies have found it can lead to more health problems, such as urinary stone disease, thyroid problems, weight gain and depression.
With almost two thirds of Americans drinking water that contains fluoride, a move to reduce or eliminate fluoride in drinking water could have a huge impact on public health. The judge has already made a few rulings about evidence in favor of the plaintiffs, so there is reason to hope that some real progress can be made here.

UPDATE: VIDEO IS BACK UP as Maria Selva texted to tell me. Read the story and watch full video below.
Husband and wife Joe and Maria Selva were having a quiet night at home in the Bay area (California) this past Saturday, October 28th (the day after Maria's birthday) when they heard a bang at their door.
I had a video to embed, but it's suddenly gone just as I finished watching the whole half hour plus, so I'll recall it as best I can.
The cops were polite overall (though one was a bit rude), and said a social worker with CPS named Loretta (we are told her last name is reportedly Lopez but must confirm) was going to take their seven-year-old daughter Iliana away, and that Iliana could NOT be placed with relatives.
The father Joe, explained their daughter has epilepsy, so he was worried about her seizures recurring if she were taken outside the home.
The parents were separated, and on video, they appeared calm cool and collected, as did the well-behaved adorable quiet children. All parties were much calmer than I would have been.
The parents explained to the doctor that they were worried about the dangerous drugs and instead wanted to try CBD oil. Next thing you know, even though CBD oil and THC are legal in the state of California for medical AND recreational use (medical for children), they are ripping their little girl in her onesie PJ's from her house in the middle of the night. Again, CBD oil is legal in all 50 states.
I caught the mom's phone number off the video (not the dad's) and will reach out to them to see how we can help. They said they are in touch with Charlotte's Web who may be able to help.
Last we heard their daughter is still in a strange place, allegedly with NO relatives, all because they want to use an oil derived from a plant instead of drugs with dangerous side effects.
UPDATE: I spoke to the mom tonight (Maria) and will get more information as she was going to sleep, however, they still need representation.
It was so tough to watch her saying goodbye to her daughter and even the older cop who was nicer than many said how much this "sucked." You could tell he just knew it was totally WRONG.
Our heart goes out to the Selvas. Here's Maria's public facebook account with Iliana's photo.
We will keep you informed. The parents (and kids) all appeared fit, healthy, alert and into holistic medicine. Sadly, it's no surprise to us that Kaiser Permanente would be so incredibly backward. Maria said after they explained to him what they wanted to do he responded by saying he had to do what the government tells him.
George Orwell would be shocked at our real-life scenario in this country, as 1984 ain't got nothing on 2017.


Since I've been taking life drawing classes there are not many articles that go along with drawings of nudes that meet the G-rating of my blog.
In class the teacher has been talking about the skeleton of the body and today I found a very interesting article about a discovery of a new species of dinosaur in Australia that is in keeping with this instructional focus!!!!
This model was a slim-hipped, long-necked, two-legged vegetarian who was the full length of my paper and her shoulders alternately drooped and stood high, depending on the pose.
. . . that would take one humongous piece of paper to draw it . . .


BUT if someone books 3 rooms for 1 night, they only get credit for one room?
teverett, further to my friend nationwide I think you may be talking about having a rewarding event such as a Wedding or a hockey tournament. In that case, at least in the old system the person signing the contract would get additional night credits in some cases. I think it was 10. Now when you do that you sign a contract with Marriott and take on a whole bunch of risk for no shows etc. However the rule has always been as nationwide says if you just book multiple rooms and pay for them.


Ever since I discovered the inimitable aroma and taste of roasted lavender buds, I have been finding more and more ways to enjoy them. Tonight I prepared a pot of Heritage Blue Potatoes, cutting them into quarters and boiling them in a little salted water. I was going to run out to the garden and cut a stem of fresh rosemary to throw into the pot when it occurred to me that roasted lavender buds would compliment them just as well.
A dish of Heritage Blue Potatoes with Roasted Lavender.
To roast lavender, take a cup of dried culinary lavender buds and put them onto a cast iron skillet at high heat, stirring, for a full minute. The perfume-y scent of lavender is released from the buds and what remains is a rich, warm, toasty taste that pairs beautifully with Autumn root vegetable dishes. My roasted buds are stored in a glass jar and I experiment freely with them.
I always save the left over potato stock for use in soups and sauces.


Some "thanksgiving" music played mit knapp 7000 Bläserinnen und Bläsern. And that is a lot of brass. Massed bands, indeed.
Perhaps. The only news story I've seen about it is here. It's happened before; no reason it couldn't happen again. Especially with profanation of the Blessed Sacrament so much in the news, both from Spanish "artists" and German cardinals.
Today is not only the birthday in 1713 in Clonmel, County Tipperary of the Rev Laurence Sterne, the author of The Life and Opinions of Tristram Shandy, upon which The Inn is not based, all appearances to the contrary notwithstanding, but also the old feast in the traditional Roman calendar of St John of the Cross. The compilers of the Pauline rite for reasons best known to themselves moved St John up to December.
It's "rawgabbit". It means "Someone who speaks authoritatively about something they know nothing about." I give it freely; use it as you wish. I, ahem, have no use for it of course.
My pursuit of the genealogical wheeze over the internet for the past few years has thrown light on a lot of family stories ("so that's what she meant by . . .") and thrown no light whatsoever elsewhere: i.e., was my great-grandfather deliberately trying to hide from his descendants or is his absence from vital records just a co-incidence?
For example, the American pronunciation of the surnames Cahill ("KAY-hil") and Mahony (Ma-OWN-ey) often has Irish people sniggering up their sleeves. But these pronunciations are much closer to the original Irish-language versions of the names. The fork in culture between Irish-America and Ireland preserved something over there that we over here have anglicised more thoroughly.
Aha! So our American pronunciations are not automatically a barbaric degradation but perhaps a conservative preservation of tradition. I have a new weapon in the pronunciation wars. A chink has been found in the armor of She Who Must (almost always) Be Obeyed.
The news is full of the Paris massacre and what ought to be done now to protect against Islamic terrorism (which the bien pensant decline to call Islamic terrorism for some reason).
And I keep running across the 126th psalm. Really. Every day since Monday. In particular: Nisi Dominus custodieret civitatem, frustra vigilat qui custodit eam. "Except the Lord keep the city, the watchman waketh but in vain."
The problem is, how shall we prevent the hatching of the hundredth egg? It is our firm belief that the fears some entertain concerning the Moslems are not to be realized, but that Moslemism, instead, will eventually be converted to Christianity – and in a way that even some of our missionaries never suspect. It is our belief that this will happen not through the direct teachings of Christianity, but through a summoning of the Moslems to a veneration of the Mother of God.
Written in 1952 and reprinted in the October 2001 Mindszenty Report and republished here, where you can read the rest.
You've read the blurb at the top of the picture? Good. Now you know as much about it as I do. If you listen to it, you'll find it's a beautiful piece of music also. I was actually looking for a melodeon recording of something else entirely so both the tune and the instrument are serendipitous.
In the event you were not sufficiently depressed by the recent Kangaroo Synod, this handy reminder of what our national elections (which are not imminent, no matter what it seems like from the news reports) are really like may just put the tin lid on it.
We . . . will be on the verge of perhaps another massive vote fraud thwarting the will of the people. Just like many that preceded it.
The scariest words in the English language are "large voter turnout," because of the disconnect between most voters and the issues. Add to that the fact that almost every election is decided by what charitably can be regarded as the "muddled middle," those least convicted, least informed and most easily swayed by eleventh-hour emotional pleas.
If that weren't discouraging enough, we also have a long-standing tradition of rigging elections. As always, shortly after Election Day 2016, headlines will proclaim the election was stolen.
On that point, we may have a preview of 2016. A recent George Mason University study concluded "that 6.4 percent of noncitizens voted in 2008, and 2.2 percent of noncitizens voted in 2010," enough to provide Democrats the pivotal 60th Senate vote to overcome filibusters, and perhaps Obama's victory in North Carolina.
Those are illegal votes, by the way.
Some fear that California is doing away with even the pretense, automatically registering people, perhaps including illegal immigrants, to vote when they get driver's licenses.
It's a little late, but not too late: a plenary indulgence is still available each day until November 8 applicable to the souls in Purgatory.
Fr Phillips tells you how here.
Water, water . . . .
Well, perhaps not everywhere. But certainly in places we hadn't known about before. How about 400 miles beneath our feet? Enough of it to fill the oceans three times over it says here.
And California can't get at any of it.
"There is very little in the popular culture of teens and tweens that is gentle and slow, gracious and warm."
Here is my concern. There are not fewer children living stressed, chaotic lives in America now, there are more. There will be more still, because among the things America no longer manufactures is stability. And the culture around them will not protect them, as the culture protected me. The culture around them will make their lives harder, more frightening, more dangerous. They are going to come up with nothing to believe in, their nerves are essentially shot. And they're going to be—they are already—very angry.
The above is from her new book. But I found it here.

The government of Virginia combines the executive, legislative and judicial branches of authority in the Commonwealth of Virginia. The current governor of Virginia is Glenn Youngkin. The State Capitol building in Richmond was designed by Thomas Jefferson, and the cornerstone was laid by Governor Patrick Henry in 1785. Virginia currently functions under the 1971 Constitution of Virginia. It is Virginia's seventh constitution. Under the Constitution, the government is composed of three branches:  the legislative, the executive and the judicial.

Executive branch
The statewide elected officials are governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general.

All three officers are separately elected four-year terms in years following presidential elections (1997, 2001, 2005, etc.) and take office in January of the following year. Virginia is one of only five states that elects its state officials in odd numbered years (the others are Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, and New Jersey). The last gubernatorial election was in 2021, and the next will occur in 2025.

The governor serves as chief executive officer of Virginia and as commander-in-chief of its militia. The Constitution does not allow a governor to succeed himself in office (though a governor is allowed to serve multiple non-consecutive terms). The lieutenant governor, who is not elected on the same ticket as the governor, serves as president of the Senate of Virginia and is first in the line of succession to the governor. The lieutenant governor is allowed to run for reelection. The attorney general is chief legal advisor to the governor and the General Assembly, chief lawyer of Virginia, and the head of the Department of Law. The attorney general is second in the line of succession to the governor. Whenever there is a vacancy in all three executive offices of governor, lieutenant governor, and attorney general, then the speaker of the Virginia House of Delegates becomes governor.

Glenn Youngkin, a Republican, is the Governor. The Lieutenant Governor is Winsome Sears, a Republican, and is Virginia's first black female Lt. Governor, and Virginia's attorney general, Jason Miyares, is a Republican and the first Latino elected to statewide office.

Cabinet
The Virginia Governor's Cabinet is a body of the most senior appointed officers of the executive branch, responsible for advising the governor. It is composed of the following offices, nominated by the governor and then presented to the Virginia General Assembly for confirmation:

 Chief of Staff
 Deputy Chief of Staff
 Secretary of the Commonwealth
 Secretary of Administration
 Secretary of Agriculture and Forestry
 Secretary of Commerce and Trade
 Secretary of Education
 Secretary of Finance
 Secretary of Health and Human Resources
 Secretary of Natural Resources
 Secretary of Public Safety
 Secretary of Transportation
 Secretary of Veterans Affairs and Homeland Security

Many executive branch agencies have the authority to promulgate regulations. Proposals to create or amend state regulations are often subject to review by the executive branch.

Legislative branch

The legislative branch or state legislature is the General Assembly. The General Assembly is a bicameral body consisting of a lower house, the Virginia House of Delegates, with 100 members, and an upper house, the Senate of Virginia, with 40 members. Combined, the General Assembly consists of 140 elected representatives from an equal number of constituent districts across Virginia. The General Assembly holds sessions in the Virginia State Capitol in Richmond.

The House of Delegates is presided over by the speaker of the House, while the Senate is presided over by the lieutenant governor of Virginia. The House and Senate each elect a clerk and sergeant-at-arms. The Senate of Virginia's clerk is known as the clerk of the Senate (instead of as the secretary of the Senate, the title used in the United States Senate). The General Assembly also selects the Virginia's auditor of public accounts. The statutory law enacted by the General Assembly is codified in the Code of Virginia.

Judiciary

The judiciary of Virginia is defined under the Constitution and law of Virginia and is composed of the Supreme Court of Virginia and subordinate courts, including the Court of Appeals, the Circuit Courts, and the General District Courts. Its administration is headed by the chief justice of the Supreme Court, the Judicial Council, the Committee on District Courts, the Judicial Conferences, and various other officers.

Local government

The political subdivisions of Virginia are the areas into which the state is divided for political and administrative purposes. In Virginia, the political subdivisions have only the legal powers specifically granted to them by the General Assembly and set forth under the Code of Virginia.

Some are local governments; others are not. However, all local governments (cities, counties, and incorporated towns) are political subdivisions of the state. All public school divisions are political subdivisions of the state, although each has local and some controlling relationships of varying types with the counties, cities and/or towns they serve. Some political subdivisions are defined geographically; others by function. Many authorities (such as water, or transportation districts) are created by specific legislation as political subdivisions of the state.

Structure and authority

Every location in Virginia is within a county or an independent city, but never both. The 95 counties and the 39 independent cities all have their own governments. Cities are governed by an elected mayor or city council which choose a city manager or county administrator to serve as a professional, non-political chief administrator under the council-manager form of government, while counties are governed by a county board of supervisors. Many specifics are set forth in "charters", specific legislation adopted by the General Assembly. Other forms of local government are also provided by statute.

Virginia limits the authority of cities and counties to enact ordinances by what is known as the Dillon's Rule. Counties and cities may only pass laws expressly allowed by the state legislature or which are necessary to effect powers granted by the state. Dillon's Rule will invalidate local ordinances that exceed authority granted by the state.

There are exceptions to the general structure for counties and cities, notably the City of Richmond, which has a popularly elected mayor who serves as chief executive separate from the city council, an innovative arrangement which has caused some local turmoil under the first mayor so elected, former Governor Douglas Wilder. As of November 2007, the courts were in the process of clarifying the duties and powers, and limitations thereupon in response to multiple lawsuits filed by other locally elected officials.

Officers

Local government consists of city and county officers, as well as people who are known as constitutional officers. The positions of these constitutional officers are provided for by the Virginia Constitution. Article 7, Section 4 of the Virginia constitution provides, "There shall be elected by the qualified voters of each county and city a treasurer, a sheriff, an attorney for the Commonwealth, a clerk, who shall be clerk of the court in the office of which deeds are recorded, and a commissioner of revenue." The local constitutional offices are not appointed by the city or county. The judges of the Circuit Court, the General District Court and the Juvenile and Domestic Relations District Court are appointed by the state legislature. The constitutional officers have salaries set by the state through its compensation board, although the locality may supplement the salaries. This structure allows those officers a measure of independence within the local government setting.

Virginia's attorney is the elected prosecuting attorney for the locality. The sheriff is the law enforcement officer for localities without a police department. Where a police department has been established, the sheriff remains authorized to enforce the criminal laws. The sheriff, however, is responsible for the operation of the local jail, courthouse security and service of civil papers and may also execute criminal warrants.

History
Founded in 1619, the Virginia General Assembly is still in existence as the oldest legislature in the New World. In colonial Virginia, the lower house of the legislature was called the House of Burgesses. Together with the Governor's Council, the House of Burgesses made up the "General Assembly". The Governor's Council was composed of 12 men appointed by the British monarch to advise the governor. The council also served as the "General Court" of the colony, a colonial equivalent of a Supreme Court. Members of the House of Burgesses were chosen by all those who could vote in the colony. Each county chose two people or burgesses to represent it, while the College of William and Mary and the cities of Norfolk, Williamsburg and Jamestown each chose one burgess. The Burgesses met to make laws for the colony and set the direction for its future growth; the council would then review the laws and either approve or disapprove them. The approval of the Burgesses, the council, and the governor was needed to pass a law. The idea of electing burgesses was important and new. It gave Virginians a chance to control their own government for the first time. At first, the burgesses were elected by all free men in the colony. Women, indentured servants, and Native Americans could not vote. Later the rules for voting changed, making it necessary for men to own at least fifty acres (200,000 m2) of land in order to vote.

Like many other states, by the 1850s Virginia featured a state legislature, several executive officers, and an independent judiciary. By the time of the Constitution of 1901, which lasted longer than any other state constitution, the General Assembly continued as the legislature, the Supreme Court of Appeals acted as the judiciary, and the eight executive officers were elected: the governor, lieutenant governor, attorney general, secretary of the commonwealth, state treasurer, auditor of public accounts, superintendent of public instruction, and commissioner of agriculture and immigration. The Constitution of 1901 was amended many times, notably in the 1930s and 1950s, before it was abandoned in favor of more modern government, with fewer elected officials, reformed local governments and a more streamlined judiciary.

Tom Dillmann certainly made a positive impression in the FIA Formula E Championship when he made his race debut around the streets of Paris several weeks ago, picking up four vital constructors' points for Venturi GP in what seemed to be a one-off outing for the young Frenchman in the all-electric championship.
Since racing around the streets of the French capital, it has been confirmed that Dillmann has now secured a full-time race seat with the Monaco-based Formula E team starting in Berlin this weekend. This fortuitous opportunity presented itself after Stephane Sarrazin, whose seat Dillmann will be filling, left the team to drive for Renault-powered Techeetah after the quick departure of their driver Esteban Gutierrez. This driver change means that Dillmann will pair with German driver Maro Engel for the rest of the 2016/17 season.
Although Paris may have been Dillmann's first race in the electric series, now in its third season, it wasn't the first time he had driven a Formula E car – that came in Mexico City. Having being called upon by Venturi ahead of round four of this season's calendar, Dillmann was required to take part in Shakedown to prepare Sarrazin's car whilst Stephane travelled from Toyota's World Endurance Championship launch to Mexico.
"Starting [in Paris] I had everything to learn, I went step by step," Dillmann states to katyfairman.com about his Formula E debut weekend around the streets of Paris in May.
Finishing eighth in Paris was a result that not even Dillmann expected. Although the unpredictability and madness from the final few laps of the ePrix was able to help Dillmann in climbing up the championship points, his performance around the street circuit was certainly impressive.
"There was no point in taking a lot of risk in Paris, to try and impress, and then maybe making a mistake," he says. "The plan was to go step by step, to build up, I knew I could do it. I just needed to build myself up and in the end it showed it was a solid result and we took away four points.
As well as Formula E, Dillmann has also displayed raw racing talent in other motorsport championships. He is a GP2 race winner, 2010 German Formula 3 Champion, with experience in the World Endurance Championship and most notably won the Formula V8 3.5 Championship last year.
After years of racing on race circuits, Dillmann expressed his enthusiasm for the return to street circuits, a key part of Formula E's success in the cities.
"I love street circuits and I am kind of bored of these Formula 1 tracks.
As for his interest in the all-electric championship, that spark came about from season two onwards. Despite not catching much of season one of the series, which kick started in September 2014 around the busy streets of Beijing, Dillmann was soon addicted to the electrifying action.
"I didn't watch the first season much, but I thought the racing was really good.
It's been known that Tom Dillmann was keen to secure a full-time race seat in the championship after his Formula V8 3.5 championship victory and his performances in shakedown in Mexico, in addition to his race weekend in Paris.
Although it was unknown that Gutierrez would depart the championship in such a short space of time, leaving to replace Sébastien Bourdais in the IndyCar championship after injury for Bourdais, this has left an opening for Dillmann to race with Venturi GP for the rest of the season.

Buddhism happens to be the dominant faith in Cambodia, in one single kind or any other, considering that the reign of Jayavarman VII (c. 1181-1200).
Before its adoption because the state faith nevertheless, Hinduism flourished for over one thousand years.

All the Cham Muslims are Sunnis associated with the Shafi'i college. Po Dharma divides the Muslim Cham in Cambodia into a traditionalist branch as well as a branch that is orthodox.
Whenever Cambodia became separate, the Islamic community had been placed directly under the control over a five-member council that represented the city in formal functions as well as in associates along with other Islamic communities.

Many people I've talked to seem to be intimidated by thrift store shopping, which I totally understand! It may take a little extra energy, but when you consider the benefit on your budget and others around you, it's completely worth it in my book.
If there is a goodwill on the nicer side of town, that's the one to shop! Typically, the nicer the area of town, the nicer the items that are donated.
Sometimes when you an item surrounded by the chaos of a store full of items, it can be hard to visualize it in your house or your wardrobe. If it's a picture think about what it could look like in a new frame, or if it's a piece of furniture how it would look recovered. Even one of my favorite interior designers, Emily Henderson, finds and works with pieces from thrift stores.
3. Grab that sewing kit.
Sadly I have zero sewing skills, but for all you talented ladies out there, don't be afraid to remake an item into something you love. That might mean turning a set of curtains into a skirt or adjusting a dress to fit your shape perfectly.
When I visit Goodwill, I always think about how I can incorporate pieces with items I already have. I paired this red dress, (that I just adore!), with a jean jacket, my favorite wedges, a straw hat, and a brown bag.
With so many items, thrift store shopping can be overwhelming, and certainly takes time to look through the inventory. Go into the store with an idea of what you are looking for already in your mind to cut back on time and give you some direction.
It's true what they say …. one person's trash is another person's treasure. Head over to Goodwill's site to learn more about shopping it good, and be sure to visit your local Goodwill to spread the love!


JAMES VAUGHAN struck twice to send last season's Capital One Cup finalists Bradford crashing out at the first hurdle.
The former Norwich striker struck either side of half-time to see Huddersfield through to the second round.
Vaughan pounced three minutes before the break as Bradford finally buckled under a sustained period of pressure from the Terriers.
Adam Clayton tricked his way past three defenders but his shot from inside the box was cleared off the line by Stephen Darby.
However, Vaughan was able to fire the loose ball into the bottom corner from 18 yards past unsighted City keeper Jon McLaughlin.
Vaughan gave Town some breathing space on 54 minutes when he powered home a header from Adam Hammill's cross.
Despite their territorial advantage, Town carved out few clear chances before the interval and Bradford were a threat on the break.
Nahki Wells pulled one back for the League One side in the 90th minute but his 25-yard strike was too little, too late.

New VAT measures to be introduced on 1st July 2021
March 25, 2021 By accountsadvice No comments yet VAT
From 1st July 2021 there will be major changes including:
The current distance sales thresholds will be abolished.
All B2C sales of goods will be taxed in the EU Member State of destination.
The Mini One Stop Shop will be extended to include the B2C supply of goods in circumstances where those goods are shipped from one EU Member State to consumers in another EU Member State. It will become the One Stop Shop.
Existing thresholds for intra-Community distance sales of goods will be abolished and replaced by a new EU wide threshold of €10,000.
The current VAT exemption at importation of small consignments up to €22 will be abolished.
A new special scheme for distance sales of goods imported from third countries of an intrinsic value up to a maximum of €150 will be created called the Import One Stop Shop (IOSS).
The IOSS will enable goods to be imported into the EU without the need for import VAT. Instead VAT will become due in the country of the consumer. This can be paid through the monthly IOSS return and will only be applied to consignments of less than €150 in value.
1. The extension of the VAT Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) to the One Stop Shop (OSS)
The Mini One Stop Shop (MOSS) has been in existence since 2015 and currently only covers the supply of telecommunications, broadcasting and electronic services from business to non-business customers (B2C) services within the EU.
Prior to the introduction of MOSS, it was possible for a business to have a VAT registration obligation in several jurisdictions. By opting to use MOSS, however, that business is able to report its sales for all EU member states via one single quarterly return made to one Member State thereby notifying the Revenue Authorities in that jurisdiction of TBE sales in other EU Member States as well as facilitating the payment of VAT. There are currently two types of MOSS scheme in existence: one for businesses established within the EU and the other for those established outside the EU.
From 1st July 2021, MOSS will become the One Stop Shop (OSS).
The scope of transactions covered by this declarative system will be extended to all types of cross-border services to the final consumers within the EU as well as to the intra-EU distance sales of goods and to certain domestic supplies which are facilitated by electronic interfaces.
The choice of the EU Member State in which a business can register for the One-Stop-Shop will depend on where they are established and whether they have one or more fixed establishments within the EU.
The use of the VAT One Stop Shop procedure will be optional.
Those businesses who opt for the procedure will only be required to submit a single quarterly return to the tax authorities of the country of their choice, via a dedicated OSS web portal. They will be required to apply the VAT rates applicable in the consumer's country.
If the OSS is not availed of, then the supplier will be required to register in each Member State in which they make supplies to consumers.
Businesses will be required to follow certain rules, including the sourcing and retaining of documentary evidence in relation to where the customer is located in order to determine the country in which the VAT is due.
In summary, from 1st July 2021, the MOSS Scheme will become the One Stop Shop and will include the following: (i) B2C supplies of services within the EU other than TBE services, (ii) B2C Intra-EU distance sales of goods, (iii) Certain domestic supplies of goods which are facilitated by electronic platforms/interfaces and (iv) Goods imported from third countries and third territories in consignments of an intrinsic value up to a maximum value of €150.
2. Current distance selling thresholds will be abolished.
For the intra-EU distance sales of goods, the thresholds amounts of €35,000 to €100,000 within the EU will be abolished.
Currently a supplier who sells to consumers from other EU member states by mail order is obliged to register for VAT in the country to which the goods are delivered once the threshold amount has been reached.
From 1st July, however, the current place of supply threshold of €10,000 for Telecommunications, Broadcasting and Electronic services will be extended to include intra-Community distances sales of goods.
This €10,000 threshold will cover cross-border supplies of TBE services as well as the intra-Community distance sales of goods but will not apply to other supplies of services. This will result in a requirement to register for VAT in multiple jurisdictions, where the total EU supplies of goods and TBE services to consumers exceed €10,000 per annum.
To avoid this obligation the EU OSS scheme can be availed of.
In situations where the value of the sales does not exceed or is unlikely to exceed this threshold amount of €10,000, then local VAT rates may be applied instead of the VAT in the country of the consumer. In other words, in such circumstances an Irish business can charge Irish VAT on its supplies.
In summary, from 1st July 2021, the individual EU Member State's distance selling thresholds will be abolished and replaced with an aggregate threshold of €10,000 for all EU supplies. Please be aware that this exemption threshold will not apply on a State by State basis nor will it apply to separate income streams. It is calculated taking into account all TBE services and intra-community distance sales of goods in all EU states.
3. VAT exemption at importation of small consignments of a value of up to €22 will be removed
Currently, imports of goods valued at less than €22 into the EU are not liable to VAT on importation. From 1st January 2021 the low value consignment stock relief for goods valued at €22 or below will be abolished resulting in all goods being imported into the EU now being liable to VAT.
For consignments of €150 euros or below, however, a new import scheme will apply. The seller of the goods or, in the case of non-EU retailers, the agent, will only be required to charge VAT at the time of the sale by availing of the Import One Stop Shop. If they decide not to opt for this scheme, they will be able elect to have the import VAT collected from the final customer by the postal or courier service.
4. Special provisions where online marketplaces/ platforms facilitating supplies of goods are deemed for VAT purposes to have received and supplied the goods themselves i.e. deemed supplier provision
Over the last number of years, there has been considerable growth in online marketplaces and platforms providing B2C supplies of goods within the EU. Currently, however, this environment is difficult to monitor and as a result, businesses established outside the EU are slipping through the VAT net.
From 1st July Special provisions will be introduced whereby a business facilitating sales through the use of an online electronic interface will be deemed, for VAT purposes, to have received and supplied the goods themselves – this will be known as the "Deemed Supplier" Provision.
In other words, the online marketplace / platform provider will be viewed as (a) buying and (b) selling the underlying goods and will, therefore, be required to collect and pay the VAT on relevant sales.
Digital marketplaces will be responsible for collecting and paying VAT in relation to the following cross-border B2C sales of goods they facilitate:
On the importation of goods from third countries by EU or non-EU sellers to EU consumers in consignments of an intrinsic value not exceeding €150 and/or
On intra-EU sales of goods by non-EU sellers to EU consumers of any value. This also applies to domestic supplies of goods.
The payment and declaration of VAT due will be made by the Electronic Interface through the One Stop Shop system for Electronic Interfaces.
The Import One Stop Shop (IOSS) will apply to supplies made via an Electronic Interface where this online market/platform facilities the importation of goods from outside the EU.
The deeming provision will not apply in situations where the taxable person only provides payment processing services, advertising or listing services, or redirecting/transferring services in circumstances where the customer is redirected to another online market/platform and the supply is concluded through that other electronic interface.
Online Markets/Platforms will also be required to retain complete documentation, in electronic format, in relation to their sellers' transactions for the purposes VAT audits/inspections.
The application of this provision is mandatory for traders/taxable persons. The use of the other schemes, however, will be optional.
5. The introduction of the Import One Stop Shop
There is currently a VAT exemption in relation to the importation (from outside the EU) of consignments valued at less than €22. From 1st July this exemption will be abolished and as a result, all goods imported into the EU will be liable to VAT.
The current customs duty exemption covering distance sales of goods imported from third countries or third territories to customers within the EU up to a value of €150 remains unchanged providing the trader declares and pays the VAT, at the time of the sale, using the Import One Stop-Shop.
For Non EU based suppliers there are two options:
They must either register for IOSS through an EU established intermediary or,
They can register for IOSS directly if the country where they are established has a mutual assistance agreement with the EU.
With regard to the appointment of an intermediary for the purposes of IOSS, please be aware that:
A taxable person cannot appoint more than one intermediary at the same time.
It is possible for an EU established supplier to appoint an intermediary to represent them.
The IOSS will facilitate traders registering and declaring import VAT due in all Member States through a single monthly return in the Member State in which they have registered for the Import One Stop Shop scheme.
Where the IOSS is used, the supplier will charge VAT to the customer at the time of the supply and, as a result, the goods will not be liable to VAT at the time of importation. The VAT collected by the supplier will then be submitted through their monthly IOSS return.
The use of this scheme is not mandatory.
As the supplier/taxable person will only be required to register for IOSS in one Member State this will considerably reduce the administrative burden involved in accounting for VAT. After registration for IOSS, the supplier will be issued an IOSS identification number and this should expedite customs clearance.
If, however, the IOSS Scheme is not availed of, the supplier will be able to use another simplification procedure for the purposes of importing goods at a value not exceeding €150 whereby the import VAT may be collected by the postal services, courier company, shipping/customs agents, etc. from the customer, and the operator will then report and pay the VAT over to the relevant Revenue Authority on monthly basis. This special arrangement will only apply where both conditions are met: (i) the IOSS has not been availed of and (ii) where the final destination of the goods is the Member State of importation.
The special arrangement allows for a deferred payment of VAT on the same basis.
In summary, the purpose of the IOSS is that suppliers who import goods into the EU can declare and pay the VAT due on those goods through the Import One Stop Shop in the member state where they have registered for the scheme.
Taxation of Proprietary Directors and Non-Proprietary Directors
March 3, 2021 By accountsadvice No comments yet Income Tax
There are two main types of director: a proprietary director who owns more than 15% of the share capital of the company and a non-proprietary director who owns less than 15% of the share capital of the company.
In general, a director is deemed to be a 'chargeable person' for Income Tax purposes. This means that he/she is obliged to file an Income Tax Return every year even in situations where his/her entire income has already been taxed at source through the PAYE system.
Non-proprietary directors, however, as well as unpaid directors, are excluded from the obligation to file an annual income tax return.
A Proprietary Director must also comply with the self-assessment regime which means he/she has a requirement to make payments on account to meet his/her preliminary tax obligations. In situations where these payments are not made by the due date, the director is exposed to statutory interest at a rate of approximately 8% per annum.
A late surcharge applies in circumstances where the Director's Income Tax Return is filed after the due date. The surcharge is either (a) 5% where the tax return is delivered within two months of the filing date or (b) 10% where the tax return is not delivered within two months of the filing date. It is important to keep in mind that the surcharge will be calculated on the director's income tax liability for the year of assessment before taking into account any PAYE deducted from his/her salary at source. It should also be remembered that the Director can only claim a credit for the PAYE deducted if the company has in fact paid over this tax in full to Revenue.
Proprietary directors are not entitled to an Employee Tax Credit. In general, this rule, subject to some exceptions, also applies in relation to a spouse or family member of a proprietary director who is in receipt of a salary from the company. Proprietary Directors and their spouse and family members may, however, be entitled to the Earned Income Credit.
The director's salary, just like any other employee's salary, is an allowable deduction for the purposes of calculating Corporation Tax.
According to the Social Welfare and Pensions (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 2013, a director with a 50% shareholding in the company will be insurable under Class S for PRSI purposes. For proprietary directors with a shareholding of less than 50% of the company the PRSI treatment will be established on a case by case basis.
Where the director has a 'controlling interest' in the company, he/she will not be treated as 'an employed contributor' for PRSI purposes on any income or salary he/she receives from the company. Therefore, all amounts paid by the company to the director will be insurable under Class 'S' meaning that he/she will be treated as a self-employed contributor and liable to PRSI at 4%. Employers' PRSI will not be applicable to his/her salary.
Where a Director is insured under Class A, PRSI is payable on his/her earnings at 4% and up to 10.75% Employer's PRSI by the employer/company.
Even if you are not considered to be Irish resident by virtue of the 183 day rule or the "Look Back" rule, if you are in receipt of a salary from an Irish limited company you will be required to pay Income Tax to the Revenue Commissioners. If, however, you are resident in a country with which Ireland has a Double Taxation Agreement and your income is liable to tax in both countries, you should be able to claim relief on the tax you paid in Ireland.

The Movements of a Piano Concerto
The most important element that defines a piano concerto is the instrumentation; a piano concerto is written for a piano soloist with an orchestra. Classical and traditionally structured piano concertos generally have three movements, although since the time of Beethoven it has become more common to include an additional, fourth movement. More recently, composers have written concertos in other forms, including single-movement works, but all concertos meet the basic requirement of a having a piano soloist and an orchestra.
Movement 1
The first movement of a piano concerto is traditionally cast in sonata form with an added cadenza. Classical sonata form comprises three parts: exposition, development, and recapitulation; in a concerto, however, right before the recapitulation a cadenza is added; a cadenza is an opportunity for the pianist to show off her technique and improvisational skills, during which the orchestra generally stops playing to allow the pianist to play freely. After the cadenza, the main theme returns (the recapitulation) and the orchestra rejoins the soloist to play the end of the movement.
The second movement of a concerto is traditionally a slow movement, often infused with rubato. Many second movements are lyrical, pastoral or songlike in nature, and cast in a simple da capo aria or rounded binary form. However, the form of the slow movement is more flexible than the first, and may be anything that the composer wishes as long as the piano remains the primary focus of attention.
The third movement of a concerto often uses some type of rondo form; a rondo intersperses repeated material with different, contrasting sections of music. A rondo might, for example, take the form "ABACA" in which the A sections all contain the same material or melody and the B and C sections are entirely new music. In concertos, typically, such rondos are a structured as a call and response, in which the piano will play an idea and the orchestra will respond.
While piano concertos are often cast in the standard three-movement form, several composers have diverged from this model. The concertos of Mozart, for example, usually followed this convention, while Beethoven added a fourth movement, or even new sections within the movements, to fulfill a dramatic rather than a simply formal interpretation of concerto structure. Modern composers who write piano concertos use a great variety of formal designs from single-movement works to more traditionally organized pieces and everything in between.

Data is arguably the world's most valuable resource, but how can you use it to increase your establishment's table turnover?
If you're using a POS that provides analytics, then the solution for more cost-effective, customer-centric foodservice is at your fingertips.
As an entrepreneur in the hospitality industry, it's critical that you understand how to leverage the data that your POS collects, and how you can use that information to make adjustments and improvements.
That's not always easy, which is why we've listed the top three ways you can increase table turnover using data.
The modern customer is more demanding than ever. They expect you to have a well-designed, informative website, and for their dining experience to be memorable. The most surefire way to creating a memorable experience that exceeds their expectations is to be attentive to and anticipate their needs — collecting customer data (what dishes they typically order, what their favorite drink is, etc.) is the best way to achieve exceptional service.
Restaurants invest a lot of resources attracting new customers, but it's actually more profitable to focus on your existing customers.
Create client profiles for your regulars, which enable you to track their allergies, preferences, and potential children or pets. On a more general level, you cause the client data from your integrated reservation system to pinpoint the average group size your establishment attracts, and the most popular business hours. You can even optimize your employee schedule and floor plan layout based on your findings.
While a data-driven POS can't force your guests to not waste any food, it can keep track of what your most popular dishes are, as well as your inventory's popularity and profitability. That means you no longer have to 'guesstimate' what and how much produce you need to order to fulfill demand — effectively minimizing how many resources you waste on inventory that won't be consumed.
Tracking your best-sellers to reduce waste also enables you to spot consumption trends. These could be daily, weekly, or seasonal trends, which you can analyze to create festive 'holiday menus' or limited 'summer specials'. Looking back at our first point: your regulars will surely appreciate the effort!
The foodservice industry has a certain degree of volatility. Bad weather or a popular nearby event can make for a slow business day. However, these factors are still subjective.
In the end, the most important variable (that you can control) are objective numbers. Improving table turnover requires you to serve customers quicker, so you can serve more customers per seat, The higher the volume of customers, the better your table turnover rate. While you want to serve customers more efficiently, you never want that to come at the expense of your customer experience. It's a delicate balance.
While you should certainly trust your instincts, using objective data to inform your decisions and strategies can help you make the right decisions the first time. If you use a data-driven POS, but barely look into what it actually collects for you, you're doing your business a disservice. Make data analysis a part of your routine. It drives measurable results, and is far easier than you think!

More marine species are being domesticated today than ever before. One reason is the growth of demand for food sources. Another is the demand for new and interesting pets. Aquatic pets can be a great addition to your household. These are not pets to handle and play with, but rather to observe. They can provide hours of entertainment for both adults and children.

Oh, you could include the pets of worldly celebrities, if you like.
The Topic should have been ' Pets of Well known Individuals' (Wasn't fast enough to make an edit) We don't want to trouble the mods for trivial matters, do we? It was one of the Paws' fault. It was their turn to shine in the limelight. Drum rolls.

Tongdaeng was a female copper-colored Basenji dog and one of the pets owned by the late King Bhumibol Adulyadej.
The king adopted Tongdaeng from the litter of a stray dog that had been taken in by a medical centre he had recently dedicated. Her name means "copper" in Thai.
Bhumibol called her "A common dog who is uncommon", and in 2002 wrote an affectionate biography of her titled "The Story of Tongdaeng In it, the King wrote that "Tongdaeng is a respectful dog with proper manners; she is humble and knows protocol. She would always sit lower than the King; even when he pulls her up to embrace her, Tongdaeng would lower herself down on the floor, her ears in a respectful drooping position, as if she would say, 'I don't dare

A cat steals the spotlight.
Larry the Downing Street cat was spotted underneath "the Beast," the president's armored car, outside the prime minister's residence in London on Tuesday (4.6.2019)
The Downing Street website describes Larry's duties as "greeting guests to the house, inspecting security defences, and testing antique furniture for napping quality". It says he is "contemplating a solution to the mouse occupancy of the house" and has told Downing Street that such a solution is still in the "tactical planning stage".
Unlike his predecessors since 1929, Larry's upkeep is funded by the staff of 10 Downing Street. Fund-raising events to pay for his food are believed to have included a quiz night for Downing Street staff held in the staterooms

Mysuru: Commuters, beware if you are carrying gold jewellery and wads of currency notes while travelling in buses and other public transport as attention diverters are on the prowl. They employ novel tactics to rob the valuables and vanish without a trace.
These gangs, mainly consisting of women, are usually active during festive seasons when people are likely to withdraw substantial amounts of cash and carry gold along with them. But now, such gangs operate in all seasons. Some of the gang members are so proficient and deft that the victim does not even realise that the bag containing valuables has been opened and the gold or cash is taken out.
One such case where a woman, waiting for a city bus being robbed of gold jewellery worth Rs. 2 lakh, has been reported yesterday. According to Police, the incident took place on the busy Bengaluru-Nilgiri Road (B.N. Road) near Sub-urban Bus Stand.
H.L. Rakshitha, a resident of Manchegowdanakoppalu, was waiting for city bus on B.N. Road after she had alighted from another bus from Mandya. She had gone to Mandya along with her child on Wednesday evening to attend a relative's wedding. After attending the wedding, she returned to Mysuru yesterday.
Rakshitha and her mother, who had also accompanied her to the wedding from Srirangapatna, boarded a KSRTC bus from Mandya. While her mother got down from the bus at Srirangapatna, Rakshitha headed towards Mysuru along with her child. To be on the safer side, she had put all her gold jewellery in a box and put it in her vanity bag that she hung on her shoulder. After alighting from the bus at Sub-urban Bus Stand, Rakshitha was waiting for a city bus on B.N. Road at around 1 pm.
Criminals would have targeted her at this point, said the Police. Seeing the woman is holding a child in one hand and the vanity bag on the shoulders, one of the gang members would have approached her from behind and cleverly opened the vanity bag. After taking away the jewellery box, the criminal would have vanished from the place without even Rakshitha getting a slight indication that she has been robbed.
At this point, Rakshitha's child asked her for something to eat. When she was about to take money from the bag to buy some eatables, Rakshitha was shocked to see the zip of her vanity bag open. She discovered that gold ornaments that she had kept in the bag were missing. The total weight of the ornaments is 66 grams worth about Rs. 2 lakh.
She immediately called her husband Jayanth, who lodged a complaint at Lashkar Police Station. The Police are checking footages of the area where Rakshitha was waiting for a bus.
Police sources told Star of Mysore that these gangs basically thrive on a huge network of relatives who are also in the same profession of robbing commuters. Organised gangs have settled on the outskirts of Mysuru and they operate in a network. While some members of the gang inform about potential targets, other members of the gang specialise in the robbing act.
In Rakshitha's case, the jewellery box kept inside the vanity bag would have caught the attention of one such gang, Police said.
