Tim Ayliffe
'Ayliffe delivers a taut, nail-biting page-turner straight from the headlines, stamping his mark on the modern day thriller' John Bailey has a history of being in the wrong place at the wrong time. The veteran war reporter has been kidnapped and tortured – twice. Finally he's living something that resembles a normal life. But all that changes when a terrorist murders a woman in front of Bailey in London. The mastermind behind the attack is Mustafa al-Baghdadi – No.1 on the FBI's most wanted list – and the man who tortured Bailey in Fallujah a decade ago. Mustafa has a deadly axe to grind with Bailey. He taunts Bailey with threats of more attacks in other cities, closer to home. Back in Sydney the teenage son of Bailey's old driver from Iraq is missing, and the people who matter most to Bailey have become targets. Bailey enlists the help of the only man he knows he can trust – ruthless CIA veteran Ronnie Johnson, supposedly retired – in a race against time to take down the world's most deadly terrorist, once and for all.

Maugerson History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms
Maugerson is one of the thousands of new names that the Norman Conquest of 1066 brought to England. It comes from the Norman given name Mauger. The name indicates one who is the son of Maugier, an Old French personal name, which is derived from the Old Germanic name Malger, which means council spear. [1]
Early Origins of the Maugerson family
The surname Maugerson was first found in Normandy where Mauguer was the third son of Richard I, Duke of Normandy and his second wife, Gunnora. He ruled as Count of Corbeil through his wife Germaine de Corbeil.
Mauger (or Malger) was the youngest son of Richard II and his second wife, Papia of Envermeu. He rose to become Archbishop of Rouen in 1037. However, as he opposed the marriage of Duke William and Matilda of Flanders in 1049, he was banished from Rouen to the Isle of Guernsey. There he married Gisella or Guille "without sanction of the Church, he formed an intimacy that resulted in numerous progeny, some of whom took their father's, others their mother's name. 'Hence,' observes a correspondent 'Guilles and Maugers are as plentiful as blackberries on the Channel Islands'"[2]. The Norman poet Wace (c.1110-1174), related stories of his life on the Channel Islands some 100 years later.
Another Mauger was royal clerk and physician before he was elected to the see of Worcester in 1199, a position held until his death in 1212. Sir Mathias Mayer (Mayor), originally a Jerseyman was ancestor of the Majors of Hampshire.
Over in England, "the font-name was fairly popular in the 13th century. Mauger is found as a single personal name in the Hundred Rolls." [3] However, the Hundred Rolls (Hundredorum Rolls) of 1273 had listings as a surname too: Thomas filius Mager in Lincolnshire; Walter Mauger in Cambridgeshire; and Richard Malgor in Buckinghamshire. [3]
Early History of the Maugerson family
This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Maugerson research. Another 55 words (4 lines of text) covering the years 1469, 1550, 1615, 1655 and are included under the topic Early Maugerson History in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Maugerson Spelling Variations
Anglo-Norman names tend to be marked by an enormous number of spelling variations. This is largely due to the fact that Old and Middle English lacked any spelling rules when Norman French was introduced in the 11th century. The languages of the English courts at that time were French and Latin. These various languages mixed quite freely in the evolving social milieu. The final element of this mix is that medieval scribes spelled words according to their sounds rather than any definite rules, so a name was often spelled in as many different ways as the number of documents it appeared in. The name was spelled Major, Mauger, Magor, Maior, Mayer, Mayor, Mager and others.
Early Notables of the Maugerson family (pre 1700)
Another 29 words (2 lines of text) are included under the topic Early Maugerson Notables in all our PDF Extended History products and printed products wherever possible.
Migration of the Maugerson family to Ireland
Some of the Maugerson family moved to Ireland, but this topic is not covered in this excerpt.
Migration of the Maugerson family
Because of the political and religious discontent in England, families began to migrate abroad in enormous numbers. Faced with persecution and starvation at home, the open frontiers and generally less oppressive social environment of the New World seemed tantalizing indeed to many English people. The trip was difficult, and not all made it unscathed, but many of those who did get to Canada and the United States made important contributions to the young nations in which they settled. Some of the first North American settlers with Maugerson name or one of its variants: Peter Mager who settled in Virginia in 1663; John Major and Thomas Major who both settled in Virginia in 1645; as well as Adam Mager, who settled in Pennsylvania in 1738. Charles, James, John, and Peter Mager all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1860.

Cannibalism has been featured in cinema for decades, often found within jungle-set narratives – anything from Tarzan films to African Screams and Italian cannibal films like Cannibal Holocaust – and zombie films, like George Romero's Night of the Living Dead. More often than not, cannibal focused narratives either take place somewhere exotic, featuring a cannibalistic "other" or are otherwise rooted in the supernatural. Most of these films, however, were directed by men. In the hands of female filmmakers, cannibalism takes on a more intimate – though equally repulsive role on screen, if not even more so.
Allen Baron's lonely, murky, Christmas-set noir Blast of Silence is notable for a number of things – its barely existent budget, stark city photography done without permits, and a rare second person narration track (read by veteran character actor Lionel Stander). The latter suitably sets the mood of the film and includes passages like, "When the Better Business Bureau rings the Christmas bell, the suckers forget there's such a business as murder, and businessmen who make it their exclusive line," which blur the usual holiday spirit with something a lot colder, and a lot more sinister.
Following the monumental critical and commercial success of The Blair Witch Project in 1999, it would have been safe to assume that found footage was the next big thing in horror cinema – and it was – but it took a while to get there. Rather than replicate the 16mm, and lo-fi video look of Blair Witch, filmmakers in the early 2000s turned to the increasingly democratic and cost effective landscape of digital video, eventually leading to the Spanish horror film, [REC], arguably a major turning point for the sub-genre. It would go on to spawn three sequels and an American remake that was fast tracked and released in 2008.
Some iconic L.A. films – Rebel Without a Cause, Zabriskie Point, Chinatown, Annie Hall – relish the city. A sprawling urban metropolis built up of drastically different neighborhoods, a skyline defined downtown and dozens of notable landmarks; Los Angeles is inherently cinematic. Perhaps best unpacked in Thom Anderson's equally sprawling documentary Los Angeles Plays Itself, the city didn't just give us movies, it became them. Which makes William Friedkin's depiction of the city in the 1985 neo-noir To Live and Die in L.A. that much more enigmatic.
In 1999, as the country was gearing up for the potential catastrophe of Y2K, Hollywood was spending its spring season in cyberspace with three months of high profile genre films set within some concept of virtual reality. This started with The Matrix in March, which gave way to eXistenZ in April, and ended with The Thirteenth Floor in May. All three films traffic in the paranoia that comes with technology, particularly that related to computers and how reliant we were becoming on them.
Nine days later, on March 31st, 1971, Sweet Sweetback's Baadasssss Song would open at the Circus Theater in Detroit and within five days would gross a staggering $45,534.00 – an all-time house record. And only two days later it would smash the house record at the Coronet Theater in Atlanta. Black cinema, independent American cinema and, perhaps, cinema itself would never be the same.
The year of 1995 was esoteric for fans of genre cinema with a variety of sub-genres and trends brought to a boiling point: the buddy movie (Bad Boys, Money Train, Die Hard with a Vengeance, Tommy Boy, Friday, Top Dog), the revisionist western (The Quick and the Dead, Wild Bill, Dead Man), neo-noir (Se7en, Heat, Devil In a Blue Dress, Kiss of Death, Jade, Things to Do In Denver When You're Dead) all got their due but the most singular, and eerily prescient, sub-genre trend was the cyber thriller.
Joe Dante's distinctly American genre career has focused on the horror of suburbia: Gremlins, Small Soldiers, The Hole and, even in title, The 'Burbs all concern what can happen in our very neighborhood—be it supernatural, science fiction, or just plain ol' crazy neighbors. Not to be confused with the primarily 80s and 90s staple sub-genre of the Domestic Thriller (such as Poison Ivy or The Babysitter), Dante's Suburbia Horror almost always positions families, rather than a sole individual, as victim or perpetrator, at the center of the terror. At the center of The 'Burbs is a family…or two.


A relevant BCom degree is required with an average mark of 60% or more for majors at third-year level.
This module covers two themes: air transport and business travel. In the first part a broad overview of the air transportation industry and some of the major airline management functions is presented. The topics are explored from a strategic management perspective and take into account the contemporary issues in the global airline industry and their effect on tourism globally and in South Africa. The impact of aviation policy on tourism flows is also addressed. In the second part business travel is analysed from the perspective of corporate travel management. The relationships between suppliers, corporate travel managers, travellers and travel management companies are analysed. Issues such as travel policy formulation and compliance, responsible travel management, travel risk management and the impact of future trends on managed travel are investigated.
This course is designed to provide students with an in-depth understanding and knowledge of the management aspects of hospitality operations, relating to all the operational aspects completed in the undergraduate course. The application of these management principles will enable the student to develop an operational plan for a tourism organisation, in a very practical manner.
This module focuses on managing ecotourism (including the natural and cultural resource base) following eco-principles and guidelines in order to provide a framework for sustainable/responsible tourism development in response to community needs within the Southern African context. The concepts of ecotourism, alternative tourism, responsible tourism and geotourism are debated. A conceptual framework of the debated concept is developed with its underlying fundamentals. The management of ecotourism is studied from a theoretical perspective addressing issues such as the planning, design and sustainable development of eco-facilities and spaces; co-creation and the experienced tourist; the greening of the environment; and managing sustainable events; against the backdrop of climate change using local, national and international case studies.
The managing of events and attractions as key focus area within the tourism landscape is becoming more competitive and sophisticated. Both events and attractions are significant core elements that assist in providing a sense of place and creating a certain magic for a destination. Major components of attractions and event management include the essential elements to manage any event, events within the MICE industry; a study of cultural festivals; sports events; social media/e-marketing; managing flagship attractions and events; and Special Interest Tourism (SIT). Researching global trends and changes in the global industry is imperative to manage events successfully and benchmark attractions. The understanding of current and topical issues within this industry is crucial to hone skills and insight to gain the competitive advantage and make a worthy contribution to this dynamic industry tourism sector.
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, destinations have to distinguish themselves through creative strategies. Rapid changes in marketing platforms require innovative approaches to attract and retain brand loyal visitors, but also to sustain industry partnerships. Based on established theoretical principles of marketing, this module explores current trends in and approaches toward destination marketing. Emphasis is placed on best practice case studies from around the world through exploration of strategic destination marketing plans as well as tactics used by destinations to capitalise on the latest relevant trends.
The focus in this module will be on teaching some of the fundamental processes, principles and techniques necessary to conduct and interpret empirical research in a business context.
The tourism domain is one of the most important applications within the information and communication technology fields. This module covers the strategic use of information technology across the tourism value chain with each sector (airlines, hotels, destinations, retailers, travel management companies and tour wholesalers) being viewed in terms of the management of the so-called eTourism environment. The sectors of the tourism industry are interdependent and much of this interdependence is connected to information flow which is managed through electronic means and the management of eTourism is the link that draws these sectors together. Finally, the latest trends in the management of technological advances within each tourism sector are analysed.
This module aims to clarify the relationship between sport and recreation events and activities and tourism. The role of sport and recreation in the development of tourism will be clarified. The multi-dimensional impact of sport tourism on communities will be analysed from both a sport management and event management perspective.

Q: Develop tabbed Content using HTML I am trying to develop a tabbed system to represent my data. I am seeing that many approaches use  format for the tabs to directly navigate to the content of that tab. Is this the one and only way to develop tabbed contents? My problem is
here is the fiddle
jsfiddle.net/rQTpB/4
I need to include this tabs a part of a larger home page. if I develop the tabs using the above approach, when I click on any of the tabs,the page snaps to the starting of the div. I don't want that to happen. I need the tabbed functionality without that snap issue. Is there any other way to achieve my requirement?
So , far couldn't find any..:(
Thanks,

A: This is very nice work. But you could use some ready solutions for tabs. E.g. jquery ui:

If you want to see someone who's tougher than nails, then look no further than Hanka Fogelman. She's 92-years-old Holocaust survivor and she survived again! This time it was a brutal beating after she called for a cab powered by a transit service that picks up people with physical and mental disabilities; a service provided by the city of Montreal. She was on the way to visit her daughter and she had no idea it would turn into a horror story.
She was just sitting there minding her own business and the driver warned her about a man in the back seat who could become "aggressive" and sure enough, he did. He attacked the 92-year-old Holocaust survivor for no reason, according to the New York Post and CBC.
The man who attacked her did it out of nowhere, for no reason. It was reported that the attacker was just sitting there doing a crossword puzzle when the police arrived, and it seemed like he wasn't aware of what just happened. A Montreal police spokesperson stated to the CBC that the attacker won't be charged with a crime because he has an intellectual disability.
Fogelman's daughter was not happy. She said "I feel angry. I feel shocked... I look at my mother and she's so mentally aware, but there's physical vulnerability there. Why was he even in the taxi? Why would the taxi driver have sat my mother next to him and closed the door and started driving" according to the CBC report.
As if Fogleman needed any more traumatic incidents in her life. The New York Post provided the following info, stating a few other traumatizing events this woman has lived through.
The incident is far from Fogelman's first brush with trauma. A Jewish woman born in Poland, Fogelman was 13 years old when her hometown went under German occupation in the late 1930s. She was sent to live in a ghetto and her father and twin sister were executed.
Fogelman did forced labor at a German factory sewing uniforms for soldiers, then was sent to Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp and later Bergen-Belsen concentration camp. She was liberated on her 19th birthday in April 1945, then emigrated to Canada after briefly living in Sweden.
Coincidentally, Fogelman's husband, Léon Besnos, was also a victim of a violent assault by a stranger in 1986. In that incident, Besnos drove his car through a puddle and splashed a couple in their late 30s. The man opened Besnos' car door and began to beat him, and while trying to escape, he crashed into two other vehicles and suffered a heart attack. He died shortly after arriving at a hospital.
She will recover physically, but will need some extra strength to deal with the mentality of everything, especially considering what she's already been through.
She has the weight of the world on her shoulders and she's carrying it well into her 90's.

Structural age, heavy loads affect the strength of Candaba Viaduct
Photo CTTO
WITH the ongoing major safety upgrade of the Candaba Viaduct, AMH Philippines, the engineering consultant of NLEX Corporation, further highlights the urgency of the repairs and the need to restrict the weight of vehicles plying the southbound viaduct, citing aging and continuous heavy loads as among the factors affecting the current condition of the structure.
A University of the Philippines engineering company, AMH reported that it has been assisting NLEX since 2019 in monitoring and assessing the condition of the Candaba Viaduct and explained that aging, fatigue, and continuous heavy loads cause the observed structural defects.
"The first factor is aging. Just like people, aged structures lose their strength over time. Also, subjecting the bridge to heavy loads more than what the bridge was designed for is causing continuous cyclical fatigue stress. Fatigue makes the structure weak and if it continues, its health deteriorates. Here in the Philippines, the usual fatigue life of bridges is 50-60 years, and the Viaduct is nearing that mark," said Roy Luna, director of AMH Philippines.
Luna stressed that upon reassessment in June 2022, using structural models, their team found out that trucks using the southbound viaduct should be a maximum of 10 wheels and must not exceed a gross vehicle weight of 33 tons. He also said that repairs should be done immediately so that the damage will not manifest or transfer in other areas of the bridge.
Taking the engineering studies into high consideration and putting premium on safety, the NLEX Corporation has engaged its various stakeholders both in the public and private sectors regarding the planned rerouting of trucks with 12 wheels or more.
"It has been our practice to conduct briefings and consultation meetings for our national and local government partners, customers in different industries, and host communities whenever we implement big projects like this so we can inform them on what's going on and address any concern that they may have," said NLEX Corporation President and General Manager J. Luigi L. Bautista.
Bautista said that the NLEX management acknowledges and understands the concerns raised by truckers and local leaders that the rerouting will affect business operations and cause traffic congestion on local roads.
"While our truckers, who serve as lifeline maintaining supply chains, play a key role in the economy, the rerouting plan aims to balance the interests of the economy and public safety given the urgency and need to repair the structure," emphasized Bautista, adding that "NLEX remains committed to addressing the plight of various stakeholders and assures to continue pursuing discussions with relevant national government agencies."
Among the stakeholders that were given briefings were the Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Department of Transportation-Toll Regulatory Board (DOTr-TRB), Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Pamcham), Clark Development Corporation (CDC), Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA), Philippine Constructors Association (PCA), Confederation of Truckers Association of the Philippines (CTAP), Inland Haulers and Truckers Association (INHTA), Alliance of Concerned Truck Owners and Organizations (ACTOO), and Haulers and Truckers Association in the Watersouth (HATAW).
Concerned local government units (LGUs) that were part of the roadshow included Apalit, San Simon, Mexico, Arayat, Sta. Ana, Magalang, Minalin, Mabalacat, San Fernando, and Angeles in Pampanga; Calumpit, Balagtas, San Miguel, Pulilan, and Guiguinto in Bulacan; Cabiao and Gapan in Nueva Ecija; and Concepcion in Tarlac.
NLEX officials also met with the governor of Pampanga and notified the governors of the provinces of Bulacan, Nueva Ecija and LGU leaders in Bamban, Tarlac; San Isidro, Nueva Ecija; and San Ildefonso and San Rafael, Bulacan.
Aside from explaining the current upgrade during meetings, the management likewise mentioned to its stakeholders that it is expediting the construction of a third viaduct which is expected to be completed by the fourth quarter of 20224.
To better preserve the serviceability of the viaduct and ensure overall public safety, Bautista said NLEX will intensify its drive against overloaded vehicles.
The tollway company has been strictly enforcing the Republic Act No. 8794, the law prescribing the load limits.
The anti-overloading program aims to safeguard motorists by not allowing overloaded trucks and trailers from entering the expressways or by asking them to go to nearest exit as extra load may affect vehicle control.
Meanwhile, Governor Dennis "Delta" Pineda gathered some officials from the North Luzon Expressway (NLEx) Corporation, Land Transportation Office (LTO), Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH), Pampanga Chamber of Commerce (PAMCHAM), quarry operators, truckers 'associations, and other stakeholders to discuss some issues regarding the implementation of the rerouting plan on trucks with 12 or more wheels, and weighing in excess of 33 tons.
This is after the NLEX Corp. released an advisory deviating such trucks from their roads beginning 11th July.
Pineda requested that the implementation of the rerouting plan be temporarily postponed while he is still in communicating with the national government.
"Bigyan po muna nila ng linaw, hindi po puwedeng walang papasukin na truck sa NLEx, especially trailers, tapos padadaanin nila sa maliliit na daan sa probinsya, it will cause problem sa economy po. Kung magpapatupad po ng kung ano ang dapat na timbang, mas mabuti kung ang mismong national government ang mag-anunsyo para alam ng lahat na tataas ang presyo ng goods," said Pineda.
The governor wants the DPWH and the Department of Transportation (DOTr) to assist in determining the appropriate weight limit that needs to be implemented.
"Lahat ng pasok from 0 to 33 tons, puwedeng-puwede naman pong dumaan at kakayanin naman ng Southbound. Except kapag excessive na or beyond thirty-three tons, do'n lang po tayo magda-divert para maiwasan ang pagkagiba ng daan at masiguro ang kaligtasan ng mga motorista," JJ Go, Vice President NLEx Corp. Asset Management Division.
Earlier Guiguinto, Bulacan Mayor Ambrosio "Boy" Cruz Jr. said that soon he will hold a dialogue with haulers and truckers, particularly those passing through Manila North Road (MacArthur Highway) for a plan of strict implementation of the anti-overloading truck law to resolve the long-standing headaches of motorists and commuters regarding dilapidated roads on national highways caused by overloaded trucks.
Cruz also spoke with district engineer Henry Alcantara of the Bulacan First Engineering Office and discussed the measures to be taken on the implementation of the Republic Act 8794, or the "Anti Overloading Law."
DE Alcanatara said if implemented particularly in Bulacan, it will affects the towns of Bocaue, Guiguinto, Balagtas, Malolos and Calumpit in the Manila North Road and in Plaridel and Baliwag along the Cagayan Valley Road, or the former Donya Remedios Trinidad Road.
He said each truck must not weigh more than 30 metric tons.
It was also learned that overloaded trucks passing through the Manila North Road are the perennial problem of Bulacan DPWH First DEO.
Alcantara appealed to the local government units to assist the DPWH (Department of Public Works and Highways) in implementing the anti-overloading scheme.

Herbal Health Food – Helpful Information For Consumers
People take herbal health food for various reasons but the misguided notion about medicinal value is gradually being corrected. For whatever reasons people take herbal products and supplements, the guidelines prescribed through federal legislation provides that herbs cannot allege that these can prevent, detect or treat any ailment or disease.
The "health factor" was born out of the claims regarding positive effects of herbs on certain body functions or structures and the general welfare of those who consume these so-called natural products. However, this explanation is disputable and gives weight to ambiguous health claims. While legal stipulations have come out, consumers are still responsible for verifying their legitimacy and actual effects. The bottom line is to stay away from products with questionable claims despite all the hype about them.
What medical and fitness professionals maintain is that the best remedy for disease prevention is a healthy lifestyle. This consists of a diet rich in whole grains, vegetables, fruits and low in cholesterol. At the same time, physical exercises also play a vital role. Yet, workouts should be regulated. There is no available data suggesting that herbs are more useful than prescription drugs for curing illnesses.
Herbs have always been advertised as natural so millions of people believe that these are completely safe. Nevertheless, this is not always true. While many of these botanicals are considered safe, some have harmful side effects. There have already been several deaths because of the improper use of herbal products. In certain instances, even minimal amounts of herbs, have produced had injurious effects.
For the benefits of consumers, some of these products that have been mentioned by medical research and journals include the following:
• Ephedra allegedly for hypertension, strokes and seizures
• Chapparal for kidney and liver troubles
• Comfrey for liver poisoning
• Lobelia for breathing difficulty
• Wormwood for kidney ailments
Physicians recommend to their patients and the public in general that consuming herbal health food should only be for limited duration. It is still uncertain if temporary benefits that could lead to long-term use will be damaging to people's health. You have to follow instructions printed on labels strictly and discontinue use in case of abnormal side effects. Medical practitioners do not prescribe herbs for medical remedies of chronic maladies like grave depression, diabetes, hypertension and heart ailments. Herbs are not recommended for kids under six years old; pregnant women; individuals with HIV; and, people affected by kidney and liver diseases.
Herbal vitamins and are classified by the United States Food and Drug Administration as mere dietary supplements and not as drugs. Henceforth, these are not tested for safety. Herbal commodities can be sold any time even without scientific research and approval from regulatory government agencies. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical firms are mandated to conduct clinical research to establish the usefulness of prescription medicine, probable interaction with other substances and proper dosages.
Consumers need to be well-informed for their own welfare especially at this time when the herbal industry continues to flourish. Research continues if only to determine the real causes and effects of herbal health food.

Can a transfer to a 'bare trust' be subject to transfer duty? The devil is in the detail!
Insights by Andrew Henshaw
The recent Victorian Supreme Court case of MD Commercial Pty Ltd and AJ Commercial Pty Ltd vs Commissioner of State Revenue [2018] VSC 560 highlights that duty legislation is highly technical, and that the application of duty or an exemption can turn on key property law terms (such as 'beneficial ownership').
Issues considered in the MD Commercial case
The MD Commercial case concerned whether certain transfers of property to two 'bare trusts' were exempt from transfer duty pursuant to paragraph 35(1)(a) of the Duties Act2000 (Duties Act), as a transfer to a trustee or nominee of the transferor, without any change in the beneficial ownership of the property.
Background Facts
On 2 October 2011, Christine Fox died. Her Estate included a property situated in Pakenham (Pakenham Property). The Pakenham Property was bequeathed to her sons, Anthony Fox and Matthew Fox in equal shares.
On 3 May 2012, MD Commercial Pty Ltd and Matthew Fox executed a Deed of Trust to create the 'M David Trust' (of which Matthew was the sole beneficiary). Similarly, AJ Commercial Pty Ltd and Anthony Fox executed a Deed of Trust to create the 'A James Trust' (of which Anthony was the sole beneficiary).
On 10 August 2012, the Pakenham Property was transferred from the Estate of Christine Fox to MD Commercial Pty Ltd (as trustee of the M David Trust) at the direction of Matthew, and AJ Commercial Pty Ltd (as trustee of the A James Trust) at the direction of Anthony. The transfers were stamped as exempt under paragraph 35(1)(a) of the Duties Act.
Following the development, subdivision and sale of some of the Pakenham Property in 2016, the Commissioner commenced an investigation regarding whether the transfers on 10 August 2012 were correctly granted exemptions under paragraph 35(1)(a).
On 7 November 2016 (over four years after the duty exemption was granted), the Commissioner concluded that the transfers did not qualify for the exemption under paragraph 35(1)(a), and a notice of assessment was issued.
The taxpayers unsuccessfully objected to the assessment, and then appealed the Commissioner's decision to the Victorian Civil and Administrative Tribunal (which was unsuccessful). Unfortunately for the taxpayers, the Court also found in favour of the Commissioner.
The Transfer Duty Exemption
Section 35 of the Duties Act contains a series of transfer duty exemptions in respect of transfers to and from a 'trustee or nominee'. The present case concerned paragraph 35(1)(a), which provides that:
(1) No duty is chargeable under this Chapter in respect of—
(a) a transfer of dutiable property that is made by the transferor to a trustee or nominee to be held solely as trustee or nominee of the transferor, without any change in the beneficial ownership of the property; …
The transfers in question resulted in a transfer of the Pakenham Property from the Estate (at the direction of Anthony and Matthew, respectively) to MD Commercial Pty Ltd (to hold on trust from Matthew) and AJ Commercial Pty Ltd (to hold on trust for Anthony).
Given that MD Commercial Pty Ltd held its interest in the Pakenham Property as trustee for Anthony, and AJ Commercial Pty Ltd held its interest in the Pakenham Property as trustee for Matthew, then why did the duty exemption in section 35 not apply?
Without any Change in Beneficial Ownership?
The Court held that the decisions in three prior cases (Comptroller of Stamps v Yellowco Five Pty Ltd, Commissioner of State Revenue v Victoria Gardens Developments Ptd Ltd, and White Rock Properties Pty Ltd v Commissioner of State Revenue) meant that the scope of the section 35 exemption is extremely narrow. In particular, that the exemption requires:
no immediate change in beneficial ownership (i.e. that the beneficial ownership of the property is the same immediately before and immediately after the transfer); and
that the property must be transferred 'to be held solely as trustee or nominee for the transferor'. This second requirement involves an element of futurity.
The Trust Deeds to the M David Trust and the A James Trust contained various provisions which went beyond the provisions often contained in many Trust Deeds that create a 'Bare Trust'. In particular:
the Trust Deed empowered the Trustee (at the direction or with the written consent of the relevant Beneficiary), to borrow money and to secure the repayment of any borrowing by mortgage over all of the assets of the Trust Fund;
the Trust Deed empowered the Trustee (at the direction or with the written consent of the relevant Beneficiary), to deal with any real or personal property (i.e. sell, lease, transfer, use, etc.); and
the Trust Deed empowered the Trustee (at the direction or with the written consent of the relevant Beneficiary), to partition or subdivide any land that may become part of the Trust Fund.
The taxpayers argued that any 'beneficial interest held by the trustee' that was created due to the above clauses of the Trust Deed was immaterial to the section 35 exemption.
The Court had doubts over whether there was any immediate change in beneficial ownership. However, because the beneficiary had a discretion to produce a change in the beneficial ownership by directing a sale, it could only be said that the property was to be held without any change in beneficial ownership for so long as the transferor did not exercise that discretion. Thus, the 'futurity' element was not satisfied.
The Court re-iterated that the scope of the section 35 exemption was extremely narrow. Namely, the exemption requires that the terms of the trust:
do not permit the persons for whom the trustee holds the land to be altered or expanded;
do not authorise any change in beneficial ownership whilst the trustee holds the property; and
do not impose on the trustee any active duties or powers to develop or to sell the land.
Summary of the Case
Unfortunately for the taxpayers, the Court's decision meant that the Commissioner's assessments stood, and the section 35 duty exemption did not apply. The trust that was created was not strictly a 'bare trust' in which the trustee had no active duties or obligations to perform.
Take Away Points
The taxpayers attempted to argue that the section 35 exemption should be interpreted on the basis that the 'fundamental basis for duty is a change in beneficial ownership'. The Court said that while this may generally be the case, it stressed legislation such as the Duties Act cannot be approached other than by paying close attention to the language and structure the legislature has actually employed in its provisions. This is consistent with other key transfer duty cases (e.g. the decision in Danvest Pty Ltd & anor v Commissioner of State Revenue [2017] VSCA 382, where the change of partnership interests did not result in a change of beneficial ownership of the land held by the partnership).
The decision highlights three things:
the importance of drafting documents. For instance, if the Trust Deeds did not contain the offending cases, the exemption in section 35 may very have applied;
the importance of paying extremely close attention to the legislative requirements of any duties legislation. In the author's experience, this is particularly the case with duties exemptions and landholder provisions; and
even if your client has been granted a duty exemption, subsequent events (e.g. property development) may result in audits and the Commissioner changing his position!
Finally, taxpayers who are contemplating transactions that they believe 'should' be duty exempt should obtain specialist duty advice before undertaking those transactions. The devil is invariably in the detail!

News: Cave Find Rewrites Irish History
Posted on March 22, 2016 March 24, 2016 by Linda Wilson
A bear bone found nearly 100 years ago in a cave in Co. Clare, Ireland has provided evidence enabling archaeologist Dr Marion Dowd to re-write the prehistory of the human occupation of Ireland.

Radiocarbon dating of a butchered brown bear bone, stored in a cardboard box at the National Museum of Ireland for almost 100 years, has established that humans were on the island of Ireland some 12,500 years ago – 2,500 earlier than previously believed.

From as long ago as the 1860s, antiquarians and early scientists have been searching for an Irish Palaeolithic, for signs of humans on the island prior to the Mesolithic (i.e. prior to 8,000 BC). Over the past150 years, occasional Palaeolithic tools have surfaced but in each case have been dismissed as objects dropped by ice sheets or geological processes and originating from Britain. Until now, the oldest evidence of human occupation on the island of Ireland has been at Mount Sandel in Co. Derry, a site that has been dated to 8,000 BC.
However, new analysis of the bear patella (knee bone) originally found in Alice and Gwendoline Cave, Co. Clare in 1903 provides undisputed evidence that people existed in Ireland during the preceding Palaeolithic period at 10,500 BC, some 12,500 years ago. The adult bear bone was one of thousands of bones originally discovered in Alice and Gwendoline Cave, Co. Clare in 1903 by a team of early scientists. They published a report on their investigations and noted that the bear bone had knife marks.
The bone was stored in a collection at the National Museum of Ireland since the 1920s. In 2010 and 2011, animal osteologist Dr Ruth Carden, a Research Associate at the museum, was re-analysing its animal bone collections from early cave excavations. She came across the bear bone and documented it along with many others.

As a specialist in cave archaeology, Dr Marion Dowd, a lecturer in Prehistoric Archaeology at the School of Science in IT Sligo and a specialist in Irish cave archaeology, became interested in the butchered bear patella. Together with Dr Carden, a Research Associate with the National Museum of Ireland, she sought funding from the Royal Irish Academy for radiocarbon dating, which was carried out by the Chrono Centre at Queen's University Belfast.
A second sample was sent to the University of Oxford for radiocarbon dating to test the validity of the initial result. Both dates indicated human butchery of the bear about 12,500 years ago. The bone was then sent to three bone specialists for independent analysis of the cut marks: Dr Jill Cook at the British Museum in London, Prof. Terry O'Connor at the University of York and Prof. Alice Choyke at the Central European University in Hungary.
The experts were unaware of the radiocarbon dating results prior to their examinations but all determined that the cut marks were made on fresh bone, confirming that the cut marks were of the same date as the patella, and therefore that humans were in Ireland during the Palaeolithic period.
"This made sense as the location of the marks spoke of someone trying to cut through the tough knee joint, perhaps someone who was inexperienced," explains Dr Dowd. "In their repeated attempts, they left seven marks on the bone surface. The implement used would probably have been something like a long flint blade. The bone was in fresh condition meaning that people were carrying out activities in the immediate vicinity – possibly butchering a bear inside the cave or at the cave entrance."

This is a major breakthrough for archaeologists who have spent decades searching for earlier signs of human occupation on the island. Dr Dowd says: "When a Palaeolithic date was returned, it came as quite a shock. Here we had evidence of someone butchering a brown bear carcass and cutting through the knee probably to extract the tendons. Yes, we expected a prehistoric date, but the Palaeolithic result took us completely by surprise."
Timeline from Sligo Institute of Technology
During the Palaeolithic era, Ireland was already an island, cut off from the rest of north-west Europe. The nomadic hunter gatherer groups that arrived came by boat. This was the end of the Ice Age when the climate was considerably colder. These Palaeolithic groups would have been confronted with an island that looked very different to what it is like today. Apart from bear, they possibly hunted giant deer, red deer, reindeer, hare and wolf.
Dr Ruth Carden says: "From a zoological point of view, this is very exciting, since up to now we have not factored in a possible 'human-dimension' when we are studying patterns of colonisation and local extinctions of species to Ireland. This paper should generate a lot of discussion within the zoological research world and it's time to start thinking outside the box…or even dismantling it entirely!"
Nigel T. Monaghan, Keeper, Natural History Division of the National Museum of Ireland adds: "The National Museum of Ireland – Natural History, holds collections of approximately two million specimens, all are available for research and we never know what may emerge. Radiocarbon dating is something never imagined by the people who excavated these bones in caves over a century ago, and these collections may have much more to reveal about Ireland's ancient past."
The paper on the discovery was published over the weekend in the peer-reviewed international scientific journal Quaternary Science Reviews (QSR). The paper can be accessed online here.
The discovery comes just three years after the first evidence of Palaeolithic occupation of Scotland was uncovered. In 2013, a cache of flint tools was unearthed on the Isle of Islay, pushing the date of human existence in Scotland from the Mesolithic into the Palaeolithic era.
Dr Dowd and Dr Carden are now hoping to get funding to carry out further analysis of other material recovered during the 1903 excavations, the cave itself and other potential cave sites around the country.
Dr Dowd's book on The Archaeology of Caves in Ireland has recently won Current Archaeology's book of the year award.
In the following video, she talks about her latest discovery.

Le Rapport contre la normalité est un ouvrage produit par le FHAR, Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire, publié en 1971 en France aux éditions Champ libre. Ce manifeste contient des tribunes, des témoignages et des dessins soutenant des revendications et des actions des communautés de lesbiennes et pédés, à portée révolutionnaire et intersectionnelle. Il est republié en 2013 aux éditions GayKitschKamp.

Composition
Le rapport est publié sous la forme d'une brochure d'environ 120 pages comprenant 10 parties :

 introduction
 adresse à ceux qui se pensent « normaux »
 adresse à ceux qui sont comme nous
 1. ce n'est qu'un début
 2. les flickiâtres
 3. notre répression
 4. les pédés
 5. les lesbiennes
 6. les mineurs
 7. le courrier.

L'introduction précise que certains des textes présents dans la brochure ont déjà été publiés dans la revue Tout !, que le FHAR souhaite unir « lesbiennes et pédés » bien que les hommes y soient très majoritaires, et se termine par le slogan « Lesbiennes et pédés, arrêtons de raser les murs ». La première adresse rappelle la responsabilité individuelle de tous ceux qui sont oppresseurs en participant au maintien d'une « société « normale » ». La deuxième évoque notamment le rapprochement avec le Mouvement de libération des femmes, en reconnaissant certains privilèges masculins.

La partie 1 comporte notamment un lexique définissant des mots et expressions comme hétéro-flic, virilité fasciste ou tasse, ainsi que des chronologies du mouvement et de sa répression, et une revue de presse.

Les parties 2 à 6 comportent des tribunes sur la psychiatrisation de l'homosexualité, la répression depuis Pétain et de Gaulle, les rapports entre homosexualité masculine puis féminine et action révolutionnaire, et sur la position spécifique des mineurs. Quelques illustrations ou dessins, ainsi que des témoignages, sont également présents.

La partie 7 reprend de nombreuses missives de lecteurs, reproduites sans réponse ni commentaire.

Création et contexte de rédaction

Guy Hocquenghem fait partie des auteurs du Rapport.

Publication et diffusion

Dans l'édition originale de 1971, la couverture comporte le titre complet : « Rapport contre la normalité : le Front homosexuel d'action révolutionnaire rassemble les pièces de son dossier d'accusation : simple révolte ou début d'une révolution ». Cette édition est publié par Champ libre.

Contenu
Pour Alain Giami, le manifeste contient une critique du caractère phallocratique et du conformisme en matière de sexualité du mouvement révolutionnaire, dans lequel il s'inscrit néanmoins. Il y a dans l'ouvrage, pour Massimo Prearo, une volonté nouvelle et manifeste de rupture avec la conception de l'homosexualité comme un fardeau qu'il faudrait accepter. Il y a une émancipation et une conscientisation de la « production sociale » que représente l'homosexualité. Sam Bourcier souligne l'intersectionnalité du Rapport, à l'inverse de mouvements gay modernes (en particulier homonationalistes).

Q: Finding the explicit formula for a recursive sequence, using power series The Task is to find the explicit expression for the given recursive sequence with the help of power series.
Given:
$a_{0}=0,\ a_{1}=1 \quad$ and $\quad a_{n}=5\cdot a_{n-1} -6\cdot a_{n-2}\quad $  for $\quad n \geq 2$
My Idea:
despite the fact, i feel completly lost, about this problem, i thought i could be possible, to somehow build the formula for a power series-expression, then building the first derivative in order to find the explicit formula due to integrating.
finding $f(x) = a_{n}$ somehow like that:
$\int\limits_{0}^{x} \left( \sum\limits_{n=0}^{\infty}a_{n}\cdot x^{n} \right)^{\prime}\ =\ f(x)$
But i don't even know, if that is possible and how.. what do you think?

A: Use Wilf's "generatingfunctionology" techniques. Define $A(z) = \sum_{n \ge 0} a_n z^n$, and write:
$$
a_{n + 2} = 5 a_{n + 1} - 6 a_n
$$
Multiplying by $z^n$ and add over $n \ge 0$. This gives:
$$
\frac{A(z) - a_0 - a_1 z}{z^2} = 5 \frac{A(z) - a_0}{z} - 6 A(z)
$$
Solve this for $A(z)$:
$$
A(z) = \frac{z}{1 - 5 z + 6 z^2}
     = \frac{1}{1 - 3 z} - \frac{1}{1 - 2 z}
$$
This is just two geometric series:
$$
a_n = 3^n - 2^n
$$

A: The characteristic equation is
$$r^2-5r+6=0$$
and its roots are $r_1=2$ and $r_2=3$ hence
$$a_n=\alpha (2)^n+\beta (3)^n$$
We find $\alpha$ and $\beta$ by $a_0$ and $a_1$.

A: Hint: For linear homogeneous recurrence relations with constant coefficients you can try a solution of the form $a_n=r^n$.  If you put it into your recurrence, you get $r^2=5r-6$  This has two roots, $r_1,r_2$ and your general solution is $a_n=br_1^n+cr_2^n$.  If you use your initial conditions you can evaluate $b,c$

Bulls back on track, win series over Cardinals
Three innings into Saturday's game against Louisville, USF appeared to be on its way to a three-game sweep. After a couple of ejections, however, the momentum and the score changed.
Despite Cardinals coaches James McAuley and Lelo Prado getting tossed from the game, Louisville (16-20, 7-5) went on to beat the Bulls (17-20, 7-8) 5-4 at Red McEwen Field.
With USF leading 3-1 in the third inning, catcher Derrick Alfonso hit the ball down the first-base line, and after first-base umpire Tony Gisondi called it a foul ball, McAuley – who was coaching first base – erupted and was eventually thrown out of the game.
"I don't have a good line on it (from the dugout)," coach Eddie Cardieri said. "The umpire thought that the ball crossed the bag foul, and it had weird spin on it because he hit it off the cap, so it could have spun back and gave the appearance that it was fair, but it just doesn't matter. It's where it crossed the bag."
Prado was ejected the following inning after center fielder Daniel Burton was denied a free base when he turned his elbow into a pitch from sophomore Davis Billardello. After being ejected, Prado kicked dirt onto home plate while home plate umpire Bill Lopina was brushing the plate off.
"(There were) some crazy plays," Cardieri said. "Sometimes you can go 20 games and not see an odd play, and there were a couple odd plays in that ball game."
After the incident at home plate was over, the Cardinals may have been short two coaches, but they quickly gained the lead, scoring three runs in the fourth inning.
Cardieri felt that the ejection of Prado may have sparked Louisville's comeback.
"Managers will do that sometimes," Cardieri said. "They'll get ejected to try to swing the momentum in their team's favor."
Junior Yuri Higgins, who pitched four innings, felt that Lopina's pitch calling was also a factor.
"I think the umpire got scared of their coach, then started helping them out a lot, expanding the zone, because he wasn't giving us the same thing," Higgins said.
Despite the loss, the Bulls beat the Cardinals on Thursday and Friday, which snapped a six-game conference losing streak, and Cardieri was pleased to win the series.
"In any conference when you win two out of three, it's a good thing," Cardieri said. "We needed to sweep, just because we were swept the previous two weekends (against Cincinnati and Notre Dame). We have our backs so far against the wall right now that it would have been nice to sweep, but when it's all said and done and you won two out of three, you did pretty good."
Higgins had a tougher time accepting the loss than Cardieri did.
"We expected to win all three of the games," Higgins said. "This wasn't one of the best teams in the league that we played."

This episode was originally recorded in May 2014. Due to technical and logistical issues it was not released until June 13, 2014. Youth Culture Killed My Dog will be returning to its regular bi-weekly schedule beginning June 23rd, 2014. The folks behind YCKMD apologize for the hiatus.


St. George Square is also called the Palace Square or Misrah il-Palazz. The square is the most prominent and largest square in the city. St. George Square is just outside of the Grandmaster's Palace and is located in the heart of Valletta. The square's appearance has changed over the years, but it is still one of city's most important areas. St. George Square is home to many of the events and celebrations that take place in Valletta.
In St. George Square, there is a glass panel located over a stone slab. Many visitors are puzzled by this. The stone was found during one of the renovations of St. George Square. There is the belief that the stone was used during Kukkanja. Kukkanja was a popular Carnival game during the time that the Knights of Malta reigned.
The Grandmaster's Palace was completed in 1565 and has been the home of Government on the island. The Palace was used to house the Governors, during the British rule. During 1571, Grandmaster Monte saw the land and soon talked the Order into buying it and built a palace. Overtime, the Grandmasters made changes to the palace and continued to build onto it. This is why the palace is so large and magnificent today.
Soon after the palace was completed, St. George Square started to be developed. The Wingacourt Fountain was built to celebrate the completion of the Wingacourt Aqueduct, and it was placed in the centre of the St George square to show off its beautiful design. On April 1615, the fountain was inaugurated. It is the 1st fountain that was built after the aqueduct completion on Valletta.
Today, the foundation is located in the St. Philip Gardens in Floriana. The reason the British removed the fountain was to allow for military parades in St. George Square. The fountain was originally moved and placed in the courtyard of Auberge d' Auvergne, which was destroyed due to the war. Then the fountain was moved again after Auberge d' Auvergne was destroyed, and was placed in the gardens.
St. George Square has a long history and is still the most important square on the islands. The square has been home to many celebrations and carnivals. While St. George Square has been used for many people's enjoyment, there have also been riots in the square. This includes the events of Sette Giugno in 1919. There is a monument in the square today for the victims of the riots. The square was also nearly destroyed during the war by bombs. The square is still used today for many of the local events.


The news, the politics, the divisiveness, the vitriol… sometimes it all seems pretty overwhelming. This last year, I started looking for points of agreement rather than differences. I fervently believe one thing everyone can agree on is that no child in our community should be hungry. I give to not only end hunger in our community, but I give to find common ground with neighbors and strangers alike. Join with me to make sure children in our community have enough to eat.


In this last part of the "From the Album: "November 23 Ampatuan Town Massacre" by Pastor Dann Pantoja" series, bare the prayers of JUST-PEACE .
Note: The images and the captions below were the personal accounts/musings of Pastor Dann Pantoja at the "Ampatuan Massacre" ground zero.
I pray that the police and all the authorities would really bring a just-closure to this crime and that justice will not be delayed.
I pray that military vehicles like this one would soon be obsolete in Mindanao.
I pray for genuine protection of human rights, beyond the officials' photo ops.
I pray that genuine justice and peace be experienced by the Bangsamoro people as they continue to work towards their right to self-determination as a free nation.
I pray that the local police officers would really function effectively as peace officers instead of having them being policed by the military.
I pray that our people would think creatively–beyond the military solution–as we deal with our conflicts.
I pray that our people traveling through our highways would not need these military presence just for us to feel safe.
I pray that the Justice Secretary Agnes Devanadera would deliver what her position is supposed to deliver–undelayed justice.
