Charlaine Harris Collection (MUM00221). The Department of Archives and Special Collections, J.D. Williams Library, The University of Mississippi.
Harris has created several series dominated by Southern women who feel deep ambivalence towards their family, history, and community. In her delightfully light Aurora Teagarden series, the main character is a feisty librarian "Roe" who finds herself in the most untenable situations; bodies falling from the sky into her yard and the like.
The intriguing yet darker character of Lily Bard appears in the "Shakespeare's" series. Lily, the victim of a brutal rape and torture, has abandoned her connections with her life in Memphis, Tennessee and moved to the small town of Shakespeare, Arkansas. Determined to cut her self off mentally from the world, Lily focuses on martial arts and bodybuilding while cleaning the homes of specifically chosen clients. Although wanting to live on the fringes of society, Lily is continually drawn into the life of Shakespeare through foul play. As the series progresses her attachment to the quirky characters and eccentric lifestyle of the town only increases.
Her Southern Gothic Sookie Stackhouse series details the life of a mind reader located in a small southern town inhabited by members of the otherworld. Vampires, shape-shifters and all sorts of creatures inhabit the pages of this popular series.

When you are done, the guard line must have gone away and there with be a smooth mix in between the top of the head and the sides. If the guard line is still visible, repeat steps 6 and 7 as often times as needed.
Less expensive than intertwining is attaching a hair item (either human or artificial) to the scalp with adhesive or another adhesive.
This strategy functions well with guys who have thinning hair that can be mixed with the hair item.
A word of caution: The adhesives could have caustic material, so suppliers must make sure not to hurt the scalp or their very own hands.
Hates that are shoulder size, or much longer, are extra versatile. Hates don't have to be all one size, so attempt a Cleopatra appearance with bangs or an unbalanced cut to improve your jaw line.
You can also give your hates shape with split cuts. Maintain your size and crinkle your hates with spiral rollers.

Sides were nicely combed back making use of plenty of mousse, and the top and front were a little bit a lot more volumized, making use of hairspray.

Many African-Americans were leaving the era of Jheri swirls and Afros for a cleaner-cut appearance.
The discolor is kept in mind for its simple design, which can go from the office to the roads. It is easy to change to fit the shape and size of a person's head.

[Jonathan Adler, July 15, 2007 at 7:21pm] Trackbacks
Should L.O.S.T. Sink or Swim?
The United States has debated whether to ratify the Convention on the Law of the Sea, otherwise known as the Law of the Sea Treaty or "LOST," for over twenty years. It was opposed by the Reagan Administration, but some Republicans are giving it a second look, adn the Bush Administration is now pushing for Senate Ratification.
Vern Clark and Thomas Pickering argue in today's NYT that LOST makes sense for the United States, particularly on national security grounds.
The treaty provides our military the rights of navigation, by water and by air, to take our forces wherever they must go, whenever it is necessary to do so. Our ships — including vessels that carry more than 90 percent of the logistic and other support for our troops overseas — are given the right of innocent passage through the territorial seas of other states. In addition, the treaty permits American warships to board stateless vessels on the high seas.
The treaty also provides an absolute right of passage through, over and under international straits and through archipelagoes like Indonesia. These rights — the crown jewels of the treaty — did not exist before 1982, when the Convention was concluded. Our security and economic interests are tied directly to these rights. . . .
Our national security interests alone should be sufficient to persuade the Senate to act now. But the Convention also advances the economic interests of our country. It gives us an exclusive economic zone out to 200 miles, with sovereign rights for exploring, exploiting, conserving and managing the living and non-living natural resources of the zone. Coastal states are given sovereign rights over the continental shelf beyond 200 miles if the shelf meets specific geological and other scientific criteria. Under the Convention, our Arctic continental shelf could extend out to 600 miles.
Law professors Jack Goldsmith and Jeremy Rabkin take a decidedly different view, arguing here that the treaty could hamper U.S. counterterrorism efforts. Specifically, they worry that under LOST U.S. efforts to interdict arms shipments could be second-guessed by international tribunals dominated by foreign judges who might be hostile to U.S. interests and opposed to American "unilaterlaism."
Daniel Drezner has more thoughts here, as do the folks at Opinio Juris here.

This is my course review for AMATH 383, continuous modeling. I took the course in Autumn 2015 with Hong Qian. The text we used is KK Tung's Topics in Mathematical Modeling.
Qian does a lot of tedious algebra on the board…I don't get the sense that most of the class is paying any attention, but he's still a talented lecturer.
The homework assignments are fairly difficult and involve a lot of tedious algebra. I do get the feeling that the homework is very different (in terms of content and weight) depending on the instructor. Qian doesn't emphasize computer-based modeling very much, so none of the homework assignments require the use of MATLAB, for example (there are a few questions that ask you to graph things). On the other hand, looking online at past quarters, other instructors seem to have a lot of assignments that require running computer programs.
I've also noticed that different instructors put different weight to the homework, in terms of grades. Qian puts homework at 40% of the grade, but I think I've seen as low as 25% and as high as 50%.
So one idea: consider which instructor you want for the course, because your experience could be very different. This is in contrast to CSE 142/3, where I think the experience is more uniform across instructors.
Overall, I somewhat regret taking this course now, because I don't really need it for my degree (I took it for fun), and it didn't turn out to be as fun as I thought (I was interested in playing around with running the models on a computer, but instead the course emphasized tedious algebra which I strongly dislike).
He's a very smart man, but when I go to class, all he does is go on about his own pet problems. The text book was necessary and expensive, but he didn't really use it, besides for assigning homework. Don't take if you're bad at differential equations. Please. Take the whole MATH 30(7, 8, 9) series first. And, going to class never really helped.
I'm actually sympathetic to this view. Even though I covered differential equations in MATH 135, the class was not just about differential equations; as a result, I only spent a few weeks on material that others would have spent the entire quarter (or multiple quarters) on1. From observing a few of the other students in class, it seemed clear that they were more adept at solving differential equations and the types of problems given out as homework.
In the end, the final project ended up being fairly relaxing and enjoyable, compared to the rest of the course. That's not to say that the project is high quality though.

'The Bad Seed' goes out with a "bang"
November 2, 2015 Lauren Rogers Leave a comment
On Saturday, October 24 we had the pleasure of seeing a thrilling murder mystery, The Bad Seed. The production by Darby's own students and with director, Justin Gates, it was a raging success. With the show being equally funny, heart wrenching, and frightening, it's safe to say the endless surprises kept the audience on the edge of their seats.
The set was beautifully designed by many tech members. The victorian inspired furniture showcased the era of the play; mid 1950s. In addition, various effects were used to create a suspenseful mood among the audience. Such effects were rich red lighting, vintage radio signals, and lighting to illustrate a fire that was happening in the distance. All of these were small factors which made the show brilliant.
The students who were casted gave an unbelievable performance. Each student fulfilled the character of their role extremely well and expressed a lot of emotion. The main character also known as "the bad seed" was played by senior Amelia Reed, and the mother by senior Audrey Craddick. The two were a perfect match for their characters and each other. The amazing chemistry displayed between each of the actors on stage made the show truly outstanding and believable.
The movements and placements of each character made the show seem very realistic, as if we were outsiders looking into a family's window. The characters captivated the audience and acted with tremendous creativity. Reed's innocent yet malevolent smile at the end of the scene kept us on the edge of our seats. Each character's personality shined through their emotions on stage which radiated off of each character in the particular scene they were doing.
Finally, the show left us stunned and full of remorse. Not many can capture a suicide gracefully, let alone the role of a destructive and corrupt child. However, Audrey Craddick and Amelia Reed captured this with excellence. The end of the play brought about a new meaning to "going out with a bang". But, it was an ending to remember which made it the best part; the pronounced lighting and special effects in the final scenes made this possible. The show was a 10 out of 10 and would definitely be worth seeing again had there been a third performance.

A4 " Bienvenue à Edimbourg Benenuti ad Edimburgo Willkommen zu/ THE INTERNATIONAL GAY RIGHTS CONGRESS DECEMBER 18-22 1974 –register now!" Poster with picture of new town & castle.
Several copies of A3 Poster for conference Red & Black on Cream paper.
After four months of to-ing and fro-ing for a Civic reception for delegates to the International Gay Rights Congress, the Town Council of Edinburgh has said the final "No" to the request from the Congress.
The saga began when Derek Ogg and Ian Dunn (Organisers) wrote to the Lord Provost (Jane Kane) of Edinburgh asking for the reception for delegates. The letter was referred to the Lord Provost's sub-committee where the request was rejected by five votes to four. At this point the Conservatives began block opposition to the request, whilst Labour Councilors, along with Liberal Nat Gordon, were in support. The sub-committee then reported the decision to the full Lord Provost's committee where it was reversed by nine votes to seven in favour.
Here the Press mounted a sensationalist campaign with headlines such as "Council Split over 'Gay' Reception", "Gay Libbers Storm Council", "Homosexuals may receive reception". The 'Edinburgh Evening News' condemned the Lord Provost Committee decision in favour of the reception in a full editorial. The 'Daily Record', Scotland's largest selling newspaper and stable mate of the 'Daily Mirror', also condemned the decision in its editorial "FACTS OF LIFE" . Subsequently, the 'Scotsman' 's [sic] 'Letters to the Editor' page was filled with a running debate on the matter whilst the 'Evening News' refused to publish letters on "that reception" which were in favour of the decision.
The recommendation of the Provost Committee then went to full Council for approval. By this time the Town Clerk and several councilors had received around 120 letters, mostly anti-reception. The debate in Council was heated and full of the usual arguments: " We'll be seen as encouraging these people" , - " They are criminal and deserve no reception" , - " It would bring disgrace on our proud history as a Corporation" , - whilst arguments in favour, led by Cllr. George Foulkes (Lab) and Tom McGregor (Lab) plus Rev. Gordon Reid (Con) stressed the need for understanding and the sociological importance of the Congress. Nevertheless, the vote moved against a Reception by three votes!
At a challenge to the minutes in October, the request was again defeated by a small margin.
Readers should not feel depressed, however, by the refusal - two years ago such a move would not have got past the sub-committee stage and further, the margin of defeat was encouragingly small.
The debate received about 200 column inches of national press coverage which, by and large, permitted the Organisers an excellent chance to publicise both the congress and the homosexual cause. This was a real fight for gay rights!
A reception will be held, however, by the Organisers where all Councilors will be warmly invited. Our thanks go to those Councilors who supported us and to the press who (perhaps unwittingly) assisted our cause.
WHY? A the Congress has become widely known over the last few months, the recurring question we have to answer is why? Why December? The idea was first mooted by Derek Ogg at Malvern (England), and Edinburgh was the only suitable place because Derek, who is Sabbatical Senior President of the University's Students' Association, has direct access to the massive administration support required to mount such a Congress. Further, Edinburgh, a European capital city well known to millions of tourists, has conference facilities and accommodation which are cheap and available only out-of-season. Therefore Spring and Summer 1975 were out of prospect, and after July 1975 the Organisers no longer have access to the administration provided by the Students' Association. So December it was! Why an International Congress? - the organisers sincerely believe (this belief was strengthened by the international tours) that now is the time for international liaison. Many problems are faced by all national homophile groups and the benefits of the Congress are that these problems can be tackled internationally. Further, many groups will provide valuable experience and advice on many aspects of campaigning and others will surely benefit from this advice. The Congress, it is hoped, will also formalise some form of international organisations to co-ordinate such action without in any way imposing on the national gay groups. It is most important to listen to and discuss our common problems, to know and be aware of changes and advances being made throughout the world and to establish international action where it is necessary and productive.
It is in these unshakeable beliefs that we herald the 1st International Gay Rights Congress ever - we are convinced of the needs, and its exciting potentialities.
AND WHO, EXACTLY, IS SUPPORTING THIS INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS?
National Gay Task Force, USA.
as honorary sponsors of -the First International Gay Rights Congress.
By lending their names in support of the aims of our Congress, these people have done much more than they imagine to assist us in our day to day work. We thank them sincerely and hope to live up to their support by providing a truly excellent Congress.
Derek Ogg completed a special tour or Eastern U.S. and Southern Canada at the beginning of September and Ian Dunn returned from a visit to the northern European capital cities early in October.
The object of these visits was two-fold: (1) To raise money for the Congress, either through direct donations and (2) to generate awareness and interest in the ideas and ideals of the Congress. Derek visited New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Washington, Toronto, Winnipeg and Montreal. The tour proved disappointing in one of its aims – to raise funds for the Congress. American organisations were 'broke' and many were striving off bankruptcy on a day-to-day basis. Nevertheless, others expressed great interest and agreed to attend. It was in the latter sphere that these tours were highly successful, particularly in the States.
In the middle of October, Ian Christie, the Scottish Minorities Group representative on the Congress Committee, was able to combine a business trip to the International Book Fair in Frankfurt with an impressive amount of Congress Leafleting (ably and generously assisted by John Stamford, Editor of the Eurosparticus Gay Guide).
Later, Ian Christie flies out to Australia and, early in December, to New Zealand. Thus the Congress will be brought home to gay communities on the other side of the world.
!!! LATEST STOP PRESS !!!
G.A.A. Of New York have finally gone bankrupt. This organisation was of great assistance to the Congress. However, all New York Congress business was, and still is, being dealt with by National Gay Task Force in New York who are financially sound.
My tour of Europe was a sobering occasion. C.O.C. (despite 2 International Calls and several precisely addressed letters) appears to with to ignore the Congress and has, nationally at any rate, adopted a stony silence towards the world outside. The local Amsterdam C.O.C. was, by contrast, friendly and receptive when I called in at the end of September. Sad to report, the Bar-Dancing Club manager and staff were arrested and charged with embezzling 400,000 guilders in one year. This news was followed 3 weeks later by the grim news that the Gay Activists Alliance New York premises, "The Firehouse", had been destroyed by a gay arsonist and the organisation all but collapsed. Clearly, the Congress must consider these spectacular failures as well as the considerable advances made by the different gay communities in various countries around the world.
The European groups are heterogeneous and have, surprisingly perhaps, little in common. They are fighting their own battles, adapting to local conditions as best they can. This is a natural and healthy development and the Congress organisers are very much aware that any International Federation of Action must not be false, but must take into account local conditions and outlooks of the gay communities affected. There will be many European groups represented at the Congress.
SAPPHO (UK) are the main group responsible for organising the very important session on the first day of Congress titled "Status of Gay Women". The choice of title is deliberate: discussion will, we hope, focus on 2 main areas – gay women in the women's movement and gay women in the homosexual community. At the time of writing we know that Margaret Williams (Ireland), Babs Todd (London), Jackie Forster (London), Ruth Schröck (Scotland) and, hopefully, Kim Friele (Norway) will be coming and will be leading discussions at the Congress. There is no one "line" being followed and clearly we all hope many women (and men!) will follow their example and decide to Register for the Congress. There is ample room for you!

You can purchase feasible fruit trees at local nurseries. Both spring and fall are good times to plant peaches in most locations of Michigan. Be sure to verify that the trees are hardy in our zone five/6 and follow the directions that arrive with the tree. You will get fantastic tasting Michigan developed peaches more quickly, but with fewer bragging rights.
Tip #3 – Educate Discipline Discipline, I listen to you say! Yes, I have discovered that when I am strict with my spouse and kids as to where things Should go – it then gets to be "habitual". For instance, with the children if they have left any toys lying around following taking part in with them I encourage them to place them away in their "tidy box" or on the shelf. However, I find that I barely ever have to do that now!
The previous wooden enjoyment centers were only required to maintain the massive weight of VHS tapes, DVD players, VCRs, and those massive cumbersome televisions. With VCRs obsolete, VHS tapes are no longer needed. Flat panel televisions can be wall mounted, and even on a stand they weigh much less than the more mature designs. Mixed with the sophisticated technology permitting you to use a gaming method for DVDs, people just do not need all the equipment they used to.


One minute, your life is going along smooth and easy and the next, you are looking around at the wreckage of what used to be your life.
In an instant, your life has radically changed and you're left with a pile of rubble, trying to pick through what's left and salvage the little bit you can.
The shattering event can be any number of things; an unfaithful spouse, sudden death of a parent, job loss, sick child or an illness.
No matter the event, your life as you used to know it is over.
In our society, being shattered is viewed as a bad thing. When you are shattered, people distance themselves as though your broken state is contagious.
Many people fail to recognize that the value that is found in shattering.
In ancient Japan, there was a process called Kintsugi. Kintsugi started out as a way of repairing broken vessels but evolved into an art. Some of the pieces fixed with Kintsugi are so breathtakingly beautiful it will take your breath away. Kintsugi masters will take a broken vessel and with painstaking care, will piece it back together and mend the broken places with a resin that they then sprinkle with powdered gold. The broken vessel becomes more beautiful and more valuable than it was in its original, unbroken state. It was such a valued process that there are people who often accused others of breaking valuable ceramics just so they could be repaired. The Japanese found a way to create beauty out of brokenness.
What if we changed our view to that of the Japanese and begin to see our own shattering as an opportunity to create something more beautiful? What if we accepted the gift that our shattering is offering us…the opportunity to be restored to something even greater than our former state.
When you look closely at a person who has been shattered and repaired, you can see the threads of wisdom, compassion, mercy and love woven through the places their pain used to reside. That, indeed, is golden.

1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow with a SRT-10 V10
This 1977 Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow is being built to compete in the 24 Hours of LeMons by the owner of Pacific Motors. The project started only two months ago after he competed on a friend's team and wanted to build his own race car. The sedan rides a second generation Camaro front subframe and suspension, custom 3-link with Watts link in the back and stops thanks to Corvette C6 Z06 brakes. The engine is a 8.3 L V10 from a Ram SRT-10 that makes 500 hp and 525 lb-ft of torque. The drivetrain consists of a T56 six-speed manual transmission and Ford 9-inch rear end with 3.50 gears. Thompson Racing Fabrication helped the team with a custom roll cage, mounts, custom floor, trunk, and transmission tunnel. You can view more photos and follow the project's progress in the build thread or @rollsroycedoesntcare.

Considering that to enter in 24 Hours of LeMons cars have to cost no more than 500 bucks, I wonder where they've got the engine and car from and for how much.

The builder owns an exotic car junkyard. So when he was planning on using a Viper V10, he pulled it from one on his yard. I didn't catch if he pulled the SRT-10 V10 from a truck on his yard or just paid for the engine itself. He states in the build thread that he will take the penalty laps, race, and have fun.

Lemons will let you compete with as valuable of a car as you want. But you will be heavily penalized to a point of non-competitivity. The power-that-be have already said a T56 by itself pretty much is impossible on a legit lemons budget.
Lemons also cares a lot less about your budget if you do something really stupid that won't slay the field. Your spec e36 is gonna get docked points but a fast Roller isn't expected to dominate so go ahead.

Interesting. Thanks for clarifying.

10 Facts About the red panda:
The elusive bushy-tailed mammal
Which of our furry mammals eats bamboo leaves, grows to be about 60cm and detects different scents using their tongue? You guessed it, the Red Panda! Here at Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary, we are taking care of two very special little guys who have seemingly become very confident, popular and entertaining residents.
Red Pandas are both striking in appearance and endearing in nature. Our copper-coloured friends with feline-esque features are beautiful creatures that have a shy but very sweet temperament and relish in their solo life. They roam freely from dusk until dawn, keeping out of trouble and minding their own business. When ready for a nap, they typically perch themselves high in forests as they sleep aloft.
Unique-looking as they may be, the Red Panda has a rather extraordinary family history as they belong to two separate species - this explains why their make-up is so rare and unusual. Not only are our bushy-tailed mates lucky enough to be related to both the panda and racoon families, but they actually belong to their own tribe which we refer to as the Ailuridae . This means they are not in fact a Panda at all, despite being named after one. Talk about modern family in the animal kingdom!
Now before we reveal any more plot twists, let's get more acquainted with these fuzzy-wuzzy, roly-poly, round-eyed companions by learning ten interesting facts.
1. habitat
For decades, Zoos all around the world have been caring for Red Pandas and preserving their heritage. However, in the wild, Red Pandas dwell in high altitude forest habitats such as the Eastern Himalayas, Southwestern China and Northern Myanmar.
2. Their tail can almost be as long as their body
While an adult Red Panda grows to be around 60 centimetres in length, their tail can grow to around 50 centimetres. This makes curling up at night with a warm, furry blanket very convenient!
3. life span
The lifespan of a Red Panda is on average ten years. Approximately eight years when in wildlife and up to fourteen years when being looked after in an established conservation facility such as Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary.
4. They Eat A Plant-Based Diet
Forget fish or chicken. Our Red Pandas stick to an omnivore orientated meal plan. They love to eat bamboo, fruit, roots, eggs and small insects. I guess we won't be running into any of them at the meat section of your local grocer.
5. Late Bloomers
If you think sleeping in until noon on a Sunday would be considered a decent lay in, then think again. Red Panda cubs don't open their eyes until eighteen days after they are born. Let's hope their hard working mum's get some decent RnR after their cubs rise and shine.
6. Active Living
Red Pandas weigh close to ten kilo's - this is only 5% of what a Giant Panda weighs. Their active nightlife and healthy diet sounds like it definitely works wonders for our flame-coloured, furry friends.
7. The Red Pandas Superpower is Smell
Red Pandas recognise each other by using their sense of smell. Imagine answering the door and determining who the person was by giving them a quick sniff.
8. Sweet Vs Savoury
Hide your Nutella kids. Red Panda's love their sweets. In a study carried out by The Journal of Heredity, Red Pandas were given three different types of water. Regular water, naturally sweetened water and artificially sweetened water. Turns out, Red Pandas were a fan of artificial water most of all - the water containing aspartame and sucralose.
9. An Internet Browser is named after the Red Panda
In 2010, the Red Panda sparked the rebrand of internet browser, "Mozilla". After an unsuccessful attempt for the take-over of another name, the company settled on "Firefox" which is an alternative name for "Red Panda". Following this, the newly branded company adopted two newborn red pandas who were, at the time, residing at the Tennessee's Knoxville Zoo.
10. Threatened Species
Sadly, Red pandas are currently a threatened species and are facing deforestation. Unfortunately they are listed as vulnerable but sadly their numbers are decreasing in the wild due to fragmented habitat and poaching. If agricultural pursuits such as logging continue to increase, so too does the probability of Red panda extinction. That is why we are working to protect the remaining 10,000 left in this world through awareness and conservation. Currumbin Wildlife Sanctuary supports sixteen conservation projects including the Red Pandas. While our Sanctuary is temporarily closed as a result of adhering to government regulations in our current climate, our Currumbin Wildlife Hospital remains open daily to treat sick and injured wildlife.
Unfortunately, necessary funds through ticket purchases has been minimised as a consequence. There is actually a way to still help. By making a donation through the Hospital or adopting an animal. Or buy an annual membership when the Sanctuary reopens to allow you to visit our furry, scaly and feathered friends as many times as you like throughout the year, whilst contributing towards wildlife conservation projects.
We look forward to seeing you soon. Please stay tuned and watch our Facebook page for updates.

Taxing the wealthy
Diving into the rich pool
Imposing higher tax rates on the wealthy can have unintended consequences
ASKED why he robbed banks, Willie Sutton, a hold-up artist of some accomplishment during America's Depression, answered simply: "Because that's where the money is." Advanced economies that have piled up debts are eyeing their rich for similar reasons. The way to begin filling holes in the budget, many suggest, is by extracting more from those who have done best. This week Barack Obama proposed paying for new stimulus measures and deficit cuts by reforming the tax system to ensure that millionaires do not pay a lower tax rate than middle-class families.
Mr Obama's reform is based on the "Buffett rule", so named after Warren Buffett, a folksy billionaire who publicly scorns a system that allows him to enjoy an effective tax rate that is less than his secretary's. A growing number of the rich appear to agree. Wealthy Germans and French have signed petitions in favour of higher taxes. Luca di Montezemolo, who sells Ferraris to many of them as chairman of the Italian sports-car company, told La Repubblica it was "right" for the rich to pay more. The broader public agrees. Even in tax-hating America, some two-thirds of voters support deficit-reduction plans that include higher tax rates for top earners.
New austerity plans are bowing in this direction. Italy's latest includes a special levy on those earning more than €300,000 ($410,000). France will ask for a similar "exceptional contribution" from those making over €500,000. A sense of fairness and political reality is driving the trend. The rich can shoulder a larger share of the burden of fixing government finances, it is argued, and can be asked to do so without doing much harm to growth.
A dangerous soaking
But there is an alternative view: that a soak-the-rich strategy is misguided. History suggests that low taxes on the rich encourage investment and growth. With many economies weak, now is not the time to saddle capitalists with greater taxes, particularly since the rich are among society's most mobile: the footloose wealthy will simply move, taking their taxes with them. This debate is particularly fiery in Britain, always fearful for its London financial centre, and a 50% top marginal tax rate which came into effect in 2010. A number of economists believe it is doing lasting damage to the British economy. Others dispute the charge.
With debt burdens so high, spending cuts are inevitable. But these can only do part of the job. Reduced spending can hit lower-income households hard. Political resistance to spending-only austerity is high and rising. Voters will push for tax increases on the rich. So, it is important to understand what the effects of that would be. The debate is passionate and often ideologically driven. Three questions are crucial: What share of tax do the rich actually pay? What has happened to this tax burden over recent decades? And what does the evidence suggest about how the rich respond to changes in taxation?
The rich pay a substantial share of taxes across the developed world, and this share has risen in recent decades. According to the OECD, a think-tank, the top 10% of earners contribute about a third of total tax revenues—28% in France, 31% in Germany and 42% in Italy. Rich Britons pay about 39% of total taxes while America's wealthiest households contribute a larger share to government than in any other OECD country, at 45%. Looking just at income tax, the share paid by the top 1% of earners in America rose from 28% in 1988 to 40% in 2006, in Britain it rose from 21% in 1999 to 28% this year. America's greater dependence on its rich is due in part to their good fortune. As of 2007, the total earnings of the top 1% equalled 74% of all taxes paid, up from 24% in 1976. The rich are a juicy target because their taxes could conceivably cover far more of the budget than before.
Very little of the rising share of tax payments from the rich can be traced to changes in rates. On the contrary, tax systems are far easier on top earners than was true a few decades ago. Working out the tax burden, to answer the second question, is no simple matter. Top earners often pay tax on personal and capital income, as well as social insurance and excise taxes. Corporate tax changes largely affect owners of capital, but are also borne to some extent by workers. General trends for labour and capital-income rates are clear, however. The rich face lower rates than they used to.
In the late 1970s top marginal income-tax rates of 60-90% were not uncommon across advanced economies. But with the dawn of stagnation, academic economists favoured reduced government intervention, and lower, flatter tax systems gained ground. Tax burdens on the rich have fallen (see chart 1). Across the OECD the average top marginal rate fell by nearly 11 percentage points.
The trend was particularly pronounced in America and Britain. Ronald Reagan campaigned by touting tax cuts as a means to rescue the American economy from stagnation. During his administration, top marginal tax rates dropped in steps from 70% to 28%. In Britain Margaret Thatcher slashed the top marginal income tax rate from 83% to 40% between 1979 and 1988. These tax systems remain progressive, but much less so than they used to be. Marginal and average tax rates still rise with income, but overall tax structures are much flatter than they were a generation ago.
Other economies followed suit, if slightly less ambitiously. In 1988 Canada reformed its tax system, flattening the rate structure and cutting top rates. Germany passed a tax reform that same year, reducing marginal rates. Norway dramatically cut top rates on both labour and capital income in 1992, from a 58% top income-tax rate to 28%. In the 1990s and 2000s many central and eastern European economies embraced tax reform, adopting simpler—and often flat—tax systems designed to reduce tax rates and evasion. Russia overhauled its progressive tax system in 2001, dropping the top rate from 45% in 1999 to a flat 13%. Rates were occasionally pushed up after the broad declines of the 1980s. In the 1990s America raised its top marginal income rate to 39.6% in an effort to rein in deficits. Over the past 30 years as a whole, however, governments have taken less of each dollar or pound pocketed by the rich.
Rates on corporate and capital income followed suit. Across the OECD the average corporate-tax rate was 28% in 2007, down from over 40% in the 1980s. Declines on tax rates for capital income have been smaller than those for labour income, not least because tax rates were lower before the 1980s. Greater mobility of capital relative to labour ensured the trend towards reduced capital taxation was broadly shared. Economies reduced corporate-tax rates to stay competitive with their neighbours. Ireland's 12.5% rate continues to irk fellow euro-zone members.
Despite falling rates, advanced economies remain as dependent on top earners as ever. In most rich countries, but especially Nordic and English-speaking economies, the rich have done very well while incomes for other earners have lagged. In America the income share of the rich has grown faster than the share of taxes paid. Across the OECD, income inequality as measured by Gini coefficients (which calculate how far an economy is from perfect income equality) rose by roughly 7% from the 1980s to the 2000s.
More of the pie
In Britain the share of pre-tax income flowing to the top 1% of earners more than doubled from 1976 to 2007, from 5.9% to 14.6%, and it has risen in other countries too (see chart 2). America's rich have done better still. The top 1% of earners in America (roughly, those earning more than $400,000 a year) captured 58% of real economic growth from 1976 to 2007, and now take home roughly 18% of all pre-tax income earned, up from less than 10% in the 1970s. The share of the top 0.1% alone quadrupled over that period. The rich have done very well in recent decades and the richest have done best of all.
The present debate hinges on whether these changes have been for the good, which addresses the third question about how the rich have responded. The ideal tax system strikes a balance between efficiency and equity. Voters set priorities, among them defence, infrastructure and a social safety net. Different societies make different choices, but a government cannot avoid a basic trade-off. The more it wishes to spend, the more it must extract from the economy via taxation. When governments tax more, workers react and take steps to avoid higher tax burdens. These responses distort the functioning of the economy, often reducing potential growth and the economy's ability to provide a high standard of living to all.
The supply-side tax revolutions of earlier eras prompted a wave of studies looking at the effect of lower taxes. Did people behave as expected? And were tax changes good for growth? Early results were instructive. The rich do not often respond to tax increases by working less, for instance, as was widely assumed. But taxable income is very responsive to tax changes. The rich adjust by tweaking the manner and timing of their compensation.
Studying America's 1986 Tax Reform Act, which lowered the top marginal rate from 50% to 28%, Martin Feldstein, a Harvard economist, found that taxable income among high earners adjusted, dollar-for-dollar, with tax rates. Mr Feldstein argued that higher tax rates on the rich, such as the 1993 tax increase that laid the groundwork for the balanced budgets of the Clinton presidency, were likely to distort economic activity without raising much money. Similar work analysing Mrs Thatcher's tax cuts in Britain found a comparably sharp response to changing rates; the taxable income of the rich swung from falling to rising in 1979.
Later studies challenged these findings. Austan Goolsbee, a Chicago University economist and recent head of President Obama's Council of Economic Advisers, said that estimates from the 1980s and 1990s overstated the effect of tax cuts. Top incomes were rising as part of a long-term economic trend, leading economists to overestimate the beneficial impact of tax cuts. Other historical episodes painted a different picture, Mr Goolsbee argued. From the 1920s to the 1970s responses were more modest. A tax increase in 1935 corresponded with an increase in the taxable incomes of the rich—at a time when William Randolph Hearst ordered his newspaper editors to christen the New Deal the "Raw Deal" and harangue Franklin Roosevelt for his attempts to "soak the successful".
Mr Goolsbee also questioned whether the behaviour of the rich hurt growth over the long run. A tax increase might prompt a one-time shift in the timing of compensation without meaningfully altering long-term choices. A big measured fall in income after the tax rise of 1993, for instance, mainly reflected a one-off pre-reform cash-out of stock options by a relatively small group of rich taxpayers. Thereafter, the change in behaviour was smaller.
In general and across time periods and countries, tax changes affect the choices of the rich, though the big responses of the 1980s and 1990s may have been unusually large. Studies generally show that a 1% increase in the marginal tax rate reduced taxable income by 0.1-0.4%, though sometimes and in some places it may be higher. The rich, though, are more sensitive, responding two to three times more than poor households, according to a Danish study. Changes in taxes on capital income also generate bigger responses than changes on labour income.
The rich may move more than their incomes when taxes rise; they might move house. On a rough calculation for The Economist by KPMG, getting out of London would be lucrative (see chart 3). New technologies benefit highly talented workers, who market themselves globally and reap large returns. These "superstars" are more mobile than ever before. After Britain's Thatcher-era tax reforms, the share of foreigners among top earners grew much faster than did the share in the middle and bottom of the income distribution, reflecting the mobility of international talent. A similar pattern appears in studies of tax responses in New Zealand. Indeed, the threat of migration appears to be strongest within Europe and across the English-speaking world.
High scorers
A recent paper by Henrik Jacobsen Kleven of the London School of Economics, Camille Landais of Stanford University and Emmanuel Saez of Berkeley examined responses to tax variation among top football players. They found that after the European football market was liberalised in 1995 countries with higher tax rates attracted fewer foreign stars and their domestic leagues' performance was poorer. Spain adopted the so-called "Beckham law" in 2005 (named after Britain's David Beckham who had joined Real Madrid), which gave preferential tax status to foreigners living in Spain. Thereafter, Spain's share of top foreign players rose sharply and diverged from that in Italy, which had followed a similar trend. Footballers may be more mobile than most, but there is likely to be some effect from tax rates on where the most talented individuals locate.
Neither is income the only thing governments tax. The rich commonly earn money from corporate profits and capital investments. Economists usually recommend against taxing capital, for several reasons. Corporate taxation distorts patterns of production, and although governments may wish to fiddle with the final distribution of goods and services they need production to be as efficient as possible. Since capital is an input to future growth, taxation of capital income can reduce investment and distort production over time.
Berkeley's Mr Saez and Peter Diamond, a Nobel laureate at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, nonetheless say that taxing investment income is justifiable. It is often hard to draw a clear distinction between investment and labour income, especially for top earners. A low or zero rate of tax on corporate and capital income may simply encourage top earners to change how they take their compensation.
The case of carried interest in private equity and hedge funds provides an example. Fund managers earn a share of profits as compensation, which is treated as capital income for tax purposes. This suits managers just fine given the lower rate of capital taxation. There is a compelling argument that such compensation is simply labour income, however, and that the current pattern is basic tax-avoidance. Indeed, they suggest that a reform which closes loopholes like the carried-interest exception and reduces the difference between tax rates on capital and labour income may prove more efficient while also boosting revenues. Many economists consider this an attractive alternative to higher top marginal income-tax rates.
When the rich change their behaviour it can distort economic activity; top earners may alter their sources of income, adjust their business strategies or simply pack up and move. The impact varies, with smaller rate changes producing fewer distortions. By closing loopholes governments can reduce avoidance, and fewer loopholes also mean a broader tax base and more revenue for a given rate of tax.
A surprisingly difficult question to answer is how tax changes affect long-run economic growth. Economies are constantly buffeted by changes—booms and busts, random shocks and demographic trends among them. These complications obscure the effect of lone tax changes. The simplest of analyses might note that the high-tax years of the early post-war period were associated with rapid growth while the low-tax years following the 1970s were not. Yet it is wrong to conclude that high taxes cause rapid growth. In central and eastern Europe tax reform coincided with a period of scorching growth. It is very difficult to separate the effects of tax changes from broader economic liberalisation and closer integration with western Europe.
To overcome such complicating distractions, Christina and David Romer, two economists at Berkeley, use a narrative approach. They pore over historical documents to work out why tax shifts were made. When they find reforms adopted primarily to boost long-run growth, and not to fix a flagging or overheating economy, they add them to their sample. Studying those changes alone gives a cleaner picture of the effect of tax reform.
In the short to medium term, tax changes have large effects. An isolated tax increase of 1% reduces real GDP by almost 3%, mostly because tax rises have a significant effect on investment. (The negative impact of tax increases is smaller when the explicit goal is deficit-reduction, but still present.) The impact on growth is relatively persistent; the greatest effect is felt more than two years after the change. A similar narrative study of British tax changes produces comparable results. Beyond the first few years, it is hard to draw conclusions.
Higher rates on the rich are not, then, a free lunch. At low levels rate increases will lift revenue, but not without a cost in efficiency and short-term growth. If the budget is a government's primary concern, then the evidence is that reforms which close loopholes and broaden the tax base are a more efficient way to bring in more money than higher taxes for the rich.

There have been many legends about the Japanese sword known as a Katana. This sword is considered to be the best made, the best in combat and the best sword for anyone to wield in the field of battle. Although I agree that this sword is quite legendary and amazing, I have found another sword that in comparison is an even more superior weapon. This sword is known as the Espada Ropera (Spanish rapier) and was used in the 1600s, during the same period as its competitor the Katana. The reasons why the Espada Ropera is superior to the katana is that it has better craftsmanship, more combat advantages and more availability to the common soldier so that he may wield it on the battlefield without the problem of paying a large sum.
Swords do not become legends from their service, but rather from their creation, for blades such as the Espada Ropera and the Katana were both works of art and expert craftsmanship. The Katana was forged by using high-grade steel in a blast furnace which was then folded onto one edge over and over again to make it as sharp as possible while the other edge was layered with cobalt so that it would not rust since it was not to be used in combat.
The Katana also had a curved blade so that it could be faster in combat and on the draw out of the scabbard. Lastly, the Katana itself with the blade and all weighed at about 2.86 pounds. Although this may sound like the superior blade, it is not the case. The Espada Ropera was forged with high-grade steel, which was then heated and pounded into a thin double-edged blade as sharp as a shaving razor. The blade itself was long and straight and had a bit of flex so that it could slightly bend with the strike, causing it to have an even more deadly strike. Also, the entire sword only weighed 2. 2 pounds which is, although not by much, is lighter than the Katana giving it a slight edge in speed.

In general, a divorce suit is just a lawsuit, and its proceedings are subject to most of the same rules and procedures as any other lawsuit. But a divorce case deals with the lives of people, and the law finds and the courts believe that issues like child custody, spousal abuse and family relationships require special attention and handling.
Divorce in Georgia is often though of by the public and by attorneys as being either "contested" or "uncontested". In a contested divorce, there is no agreement of the parties on all the matters at issue between them prior to the time of filing the case. If there is no agreement, it is becomes necessary for the court proceedings to be initiated by one of the parties, and the case becomes a contested case. Court proceedings are initiated by the filing of a Complaint for Divorce by one spouse (the "plaintiff") against the other spouse (the "defendant"). Once the Complaint is properly served on the defendant, the court obtains the power or ability to decide those issues which the parties cannot. See: Divorce: Basic Concepts, Laws and Facts.
Contested Issues: The issues typically contested in a divorce case are alimony, division of assets, child custody, child support, and child visitation. The dissolution of the marriage is rarely a real issue in the case. But this list of typically contested issues only scratches the surface. The lives, finances and relationships of married parties are diverse and multi-faceted, and the facts underlying each of the issues is often complex and confusing. Additionally, it is impossible to separate the past, present and even future feelings and emotions of the parties from these facts and issues.
1. Temporary Restraining Orders: Where there emergency issues involving safety of a party, protection of assets, care of a minor child or other matters requiring immediate relief from the Court, then a party may ask the court for a temporary restrain order (TRO). Under some circumstances, the court may grant this relief without the presence of the opposing party ("ex parte").
2. Standing Orders: Many Georgia Superior Courts now have "Standing Orders" that issue automatically upon the filing of the Complaint for Divorce. These are designed to preserve the status quo existing between the parties at the time the case is filed. They address many of the issues which previously required the issuance of a Temporary Restraining Order. Standing Orders typically prevent the both parties from transferring or disposing of assets, taking children outside the State, harassing the other party, and/or similar conduct.
3. Temporary Hearings: Since there is no agreement existing between the parties at the time the divorce case is filed, it is often necessary for the court temporarily decide how the contested issues. At a temporary hearing, the court will issue a temporary order deciding who will have custody of the children, the amount of child support and/or alimony, which party will pay child support or alimony, visitation rights, possession of residence and possession of personal property.
4. Discovery: As with all litigation, discovery is the process of obtaining information about the facts in the case. This process including obtaining documents and physical evidence from the opposing party, taking depositions of the opposing party and of third parties, and written requests for information. The need for discovery and types of discovery needed in a divorce case varies widely. Where the parties have few assets and no children, there may be almost no need for discovery. Where there is a serious issue concerning child custody or where the parties have substantial assets, it may be necessary to engage in extensive discovery.
5. Mediation, Arbitration and Alternative Dispute Resolution: The courts are increasingly referring divorcing parties to seek to resolve disputed issues by using private means of alternative dispute resolution.
a. Mediation using an impartial neutral (mediator) is now required by most courts prior to placing the case on a trial calendar. Mediation is an excellent opportunity for the parties to settle cases. Both parties have an opportunity to discuss the facts of the case and their needs privately with the mediator, and without fear that these matters will be discussed with the other party or used in court. The mediator can help the parties find common grounds, real needs and alternative solutions. Settlement is voluntary, so each party maintains some control over the outcome of the case.
b. Arbitration can also be used as a means of alternative resolution in a divorce case. Both parties must agree to arbitrate the case, and they will select the arbitrator(s). Arbitration is basically a non-jury trial held in private before an arbitrator or arbitrators. The rules of procedure and evidence can be far less formal than a trial before a judge or jury. Where the parties wish to keep financial matters or sensitive family matters confidential, then arbitration can be an excellent choice for dispute resolution. Child custody and other aspects of the arbitrator's decision must be reviewed by the court before the decision becomes final.
6. Non-jury Trials: When all else fails, the court will make the decisions on all of the issues in the case after hearing the facts and receiving evidence. A non-jury trial is a trial in which the judge will decide both the law and the facts of the case. Non-jury trials of divorce cases are less formal and less time consuming that jury trials. A non-jury trial will be less expensive than a jury trial, and you will get a non-jury trial date sooner than a date for a jury trial.
7. Jury Trials. Either party can demand a jury trial to resolve their differences. A jury trial follows formal rules of procedure and evidence. The jury will decide the facts including division of assets and amount of alimony (if any). The judge will decide matters of law, and the judge will decide some issues like child custody.
The grounds for a divorce is the legal theory that the court must have in order to dissolve the marriage. There are thirteen (13) grounds for divorce in Georgia. The first twelve (12) grounds are often said to be fault based, and include adultery, cruel treatment, desertion and other causes for the divorce. The thirteenth (13 th) ground does not designate either party as being a cause of the divorce. It simply says that "the marriage of the parties is irretrievably broken", and is often referred to as a no fault divorce. Basically and for whatever reason, the parties can no longer live together as husband and wife.
The grounds stated in the Complaint for Divorce is now almost always that the marriage is "irretrievably broken". However, in a contested divorce case, the Complaint or the Defendant's Answer may set forth adultery, cruel treatment or one of the other grounds as the basis for the divorce or as an additional grounds for the divorce. The reason for this is that the conduct of one party to the marriage toward the other party can have an effect on alimony, division of assets, custody of minor children and visitation with minor children.
If the parties reach an agreement on all of the issues, a contested can be settled at any time prior during the course of the judicial proceedings. It is not unusual for a case to settle after a temporary hearing, after completion of discovery, at mediation, or just prior to a trial. The parties should always keep an open mind about their needs, the reality of the situation, what is best for minor children, and what is best for his/her future. Settlement may offer the best way to secure those goals.
The entry of a final judgment and decree of divorce with a resolution of all issues is normally entered by the court after either a jury or non-jury trial of the case. Occasionally a court will enter a decree of divorce between the parties prior to holding a trial on other issues like property division, alimony and child custody.
