Known for its "Keep Portland Weird" slogan, the City of Roses certainly has its fair share of cool, offbeat businesses.
From a boutique where everything's free to a startup that powers drones and a custom piñata shop, we rounded up 16 of the coolest new businesses in Portland, Oregon, focusing on those that opened in the last five years or so.
Scroll down to check them out.
What it is: A rooftop bar and restaurant that serves all Oregon-brewed beers.
What makes it cool: Atop the newly opened Hotel Eastlund sits Altabira City Tavern, a rooftop bar that has 16 selections of local Oregon craft beer on tap, as well as breathtaking views of downtown Portland. The space also features a 50-seat restaurant helmed by acclaimed chef David Machado, of Lauro Mediterranean Kitchen and Nel Centro fame.
What it is: A store focused on building community.
What makes it cool: At Beam & Anchor, shopping is about more than just buying stuff — it's about building a community. Owners Jocelyn and Robert Rahm started the shop as a way to foster connections between people, ideas, and the material things we live with. In addition to selling ceramics, jewelry, and accessories, Beam & Anchor also hosts dinners and workshops to further drive the community feel.
What it is: A whiskey and tequila-centric bar known for its creative cocktails.
What makes it cool: Though it's only been open since July, Bit House Saloon is already making waves in the Portland bar scene. Housed in the same space as the old East Bank Saloon, the bar serves a selection of single-barrel bourbons on tap, as well as a host of creative cocktails such as the K23, a mix of rum, jasmine, mint, lemon, and beet, or the House of Bambooze, made of sherry, vermouth, and salted almonds.
What it is: A design studio that turns ordinary spaces into grown-up forts.
What makes it cool: Whether it's rearranging your bookshelf or redecorating your living room from scratch, the guys behind Boys Fort will happily transform your space into a comfortable, livable man cave. In addition to their interior-design services, proprietors Richard Rolfe and Jake France also run a Boys Fort store filled with custom furniture, witty art prints, and manly tchotchkes.
What it is: A shop that makes custom piñatas and supports local art.
What makes it cool: If you think piñatas are just for kids' birthday parties, think again. At Calaveras y Diablitos, husband and wife team Erik and Jamie Sandoval produce custom piñatas in shapes like spooky clowns and whimsical cartoon characters — anything customers can dream up.
What it is: A sweets shop that specializes in candy from around the world.
What makes it cool: In February 2012, then-25-year-old Amami Greer opened Candy Babel to encourage everyone to embrace their inner child. The specialty candy store focuses on artificial and GMO-free treats, and features unique selections from all over the world.
Customers can even get candy, s'mores, or cotton candy catered for events, from birthdays to weddings to corporate parties.
What it is: An eggs-only food truck with a rock 'n' roll theme.
What makes it cool: One of the most versatile foods out there, eggs take center stage at Fried Egg I'm In Love, an egg-sandwich-centric food truck. Not only does the truck itself take a cue from The Cure with its pun of a name, but all the sandwiches are rock-themed as well. Try the "Egg Zeppelin" topped with sausage, Tillamook cheddar, and aardvark aioli, or the "Free-Range Against The Machine" filled with fried egg, avocado, tomato, and Havarti cheese.
What it is: An ecommerce site where customers pick their own prices, with part of each purchase going to charity.
What makes it cool: When you buy something through Generous, not only do you get to set your own price, but a portion of the sale goes toward a designated charity. Originally imagined as a concept to boost merch sales at concerts, Generous launched online as a platform to help encourage fans to actually pay for music. And even though the service isn't open to the general public yet, it already has a celebrity endorsement: Russell Brand moved his entire website to the platform.
What it is: A Hollywood-themed bar.
What makes it cool: Channel Old Hollywood at Iconic, a film-themed bar and lounge in northeast Portland, where classic movies are always playing. In addition to 10 beers on tap and a host of creative cocktails, Iconic offers an eclectic food menu, with fare including chicken-bacon pizza and salmon tacos.
What it is: A digital-marketing firm that helps businesses get to know their customers and discover new audiences.
What makes it cool: Though not in the sexiest of industries, digital-marketing startup Lytics fills an important niche: Helping consumer marketers analyze the data they work with, so they can optimize their efforts. In other words, by helping businesses understand their customer bases, they can begin to use their resources more effectively.
Lytics is also helping lead Portland's tech renaissance, and raised $7 million in a round of Series A funding last fall, a sizable amount by Oregon standards.
What it is: A shop that's bringing the art of macramé into the mainstream.
What makes it cool: This isn't your grandmother's macramé. Emily Katz aims to inspire a "macramé revival" and bring the string-based craft into the mainstream. Formerly a fashion designer, Katz started Modern Macrame as a way to inspire people and help cultivate their joy. The business offers premade plant and wall hangers, but the heart of it is Katz's how-to workshops for anyone interested in learning the craft themselves.
What it is: The city's first Latino-themed public market that brings together businesses from across Latin America.
What makes it cool: Visit Colombia, Argentina, and Mexico in a single day — without even leaving PDX — at Portland Mercado. The city's first Latino-themed public market, the space is filled with shops and restaurants all celebrating Latin culture, dedicated to providing an affordable space for local entrepreneurs.
What it is: A boutique of local products where everything's free.
What makes it cool: You don't need any cash at SamplingLab — everything's free. The caveat? It's in exchange for your opinions. Customers just sign up online, visit the store, choose a product, and fill out a survey about it before they can return to the store for another. Simple.
In return, SamplingLab is able to send specific feedback to brands, helping them to capitalize on the opinions of their target audiences, which often includes the elusive millennial viewpoint.
What it is: A startup that builds software to power drones.
What makes it cool: SkyWard aims to change the drone industry by streamlining and digitizing all communications and flight operations. The company is on its way up, too: In April, SkyWard raised another $4.1 million in seed funding, adding to the $1.5 million it raised from Voyager Capital in 2014. It's also partnered with NASA.
What it is: A startup that makes it easy for anyone to learn how to code.
What makes it cool: Part of the Silicon Forest — Portland's answer to Silicon Valley — aptly named Treehouse provides an easy and affordable way for anyone to learn to code. The startup offers coding and programming courses across numerous difficulties and specialties, so users can pick the courses that best fit their level of experience. Users learn at their own pace through hands-on projects, and Treehouse says that students with no experience can be job-ready in as little as six months at a price of about $25 per month.
What it is: A shop that makes bespoke leather accessories, with a focus on bicycling.
What makes it cool: For owner Geoffrey Franklin, Walnut Studiolo started as a solution to a simple problem: He wanted a convenient, yet stylish, way to carry his bike lock. After building a leather carrier for his lock, Franklin began designing more wood and leather bicycling accessories, eventually expanding to an Esty shop, and then a brick-and-mortar store.
These days, Walnut Studiolo has expanded beyond bicycles into handmade beer and wine adornments, as well as travel games.

Key takeaways from Mexico's midterm elections
by Staff Writer June 8, 2021 0 Comment
Mexico saw their mid-term elections this Sunday on June 6. President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador addressed the conference the following day with a bright and cheerful face at Mexico City's National Palace. Created in 2014, Obrador's party, The National Resurrection Movement (Morena), will remain a political force in Mexico. However, as per the preliminary results from Mexico's National Electoral Institute, the party received 36 per cent more votes in the race for the lower house of Congress. Alongside even, Morena's ally PVEM (Mexican Green Ecologist Party) is expected to get six per cent of the vote in this election.
The way for coalition party:
Strategizing politics at its best, the party will see a coalition as a significant voting bloc but it will be just a name in the formality. Within the cabinet, there would not be the necessary two-thirds majority needed to change the constitution, which the president was hoping for. President has been taking major swings and giving bold statements on controversial issues to enlarge his circle of supporters. During this election, his party won a lot of state and municipal victories. His influence and popularity remain strong across the country. It is majorly believed that these alliances in large will sideline the polarization generated over the presidency and prove wrong about the conspiracy theory.
Peaceful elections:
Ensuring that smooth and peaceful elections are conducted, journalists report that they were expecting the low number of people to turn up for voting as it is not compulsory in Mexico. However, as per Mexico's National Electoral Institute, 53 per cent of voters turned up which makes the result pretty good to know from the majority class. Mexicans were also fearing to step out in the light of the effects of the pandemic and political violence but still voting was conducted peacefully.

Peru votes for its future tomorrow
Strengthening democracy:
People stood more than two hours in the line to cast their vote at the ballot stations. Mario Vargas Llosa, a winner of the Nobel Prize in Literature, once described Mexico as an "absolute dictatorship". He said so because a single party (PRI) had been in power for more than seven decades. Though, after these recent elections, there are high chances of either party turning to full rule in Mexico will not be there, giving way for purely a coalition government at front.
Nothing comes easy in politics:
The mass killings of candidates is a violent and prominent issue in Mexico. This year, unfortunately, 96 politicians and candidates had been murdered since the start of the campaign in September last year. Even during the election day, there were isolated incidents in the country where human remains were found at two polling places in Tijuana.

Time Inc. Eyeing Move to Downtown Manhattan
The magazine company, which Time Warner plans to spin off this year, could leave its longtime midtown location to take advantage of lower rents in the area of the new World Trade Center complex.

Time Warner Center Manhattan New York City - H 2012
Time Inc., the magazine giant that Time Warner is planning to spin off later this year, is looking at leaving its headquarters at the Time & Life Building in midtown Manhattan to take advantage of lower rents in lower Manhattan, Bloomberg News reported, citing people familiar with the situation.
The largest U.S. magazine publisher, whose brands include Time, Sports Illustrated, People and Entertainment Weekly, has talked to real estate companies managing locations in the new World Trade Center complex and other downtown locations, as new CEO Joseph Ripp is looking to reduce costs, it said.
PHOTOS: Back to the Beach: Shorefront Real Estate Booms Once More
Time Inc. has been in its Avenue of the Americas headquarters near Rockefeller Center since the 1950s. Its lease expires in 2017. Time Warner itself recently unveiled a deal to move from its current headquarters in the Time Warner Center at Manhattan's Columbus Circle to a new Hudson Yards development slightly south of its current location.
Top office space in the current neighborhood of the Time Inc. headquarters costs an average of $82.35 per square foot late in 2013, compared with $53.79 for downtown areas, Bloomberg News said, citing data from real estate broker Cushman & Wakefield.
"We are currently exploring a number of real estate options," a Time Inc. spokeswoman confirmed.
Time Warner's spinoff of Time Inc. will allow the entertainment conglomerate, led by CEO Jeff Bewkes, to focus on its cable networks and film businesses as the publishing arm has struggled amid changing consumer habits and lower advertising revenue in the digital age.
Conde Nast Publications has also agreed to leave midtown for lower Manhattan.

The transnational matai and the foreign homeland : does the Toloa still return to the water?
Tominiko, Falaniko; Anae, M.; Fetui, V.; Lima, I.
2016_Measina_The_transnational_matai_.pdf (1.086Mb)
Tominiko, F., Anae, M., Fetui, V., & Lima, I. (2016, Nov). The transnational matai and the foreign homeland: Does the Toloa still return to the water? (Ed.), Measina a Sāmoa Fonotaga lona Fitu = 7th Measina Sāmoa Conference Proceedings. National University of Samoa
The matai and the fanua are explicitly interconnected. The matai not only get their mandate to rule from their aiga, but also from the land to which their aiga and title belong. At the bestowal of their matai title, the new recipient inherits not only a name, but also the land on which their maota or laoa stands. This land becomes their official residence. The adjacent and connecting lands becomes their domain, over which they have complete authority. They command the land and adjoining sea to be farmed and fished, and in times of drought and food shortage, they place tapu over the land, forbidding the consumption of crops and resources allowing it to be replenished. From the day of their bestowal, the matai resides on his/her land, and upon their death, their body returns to the land. The matai is therefore one with the land and vice versa. The above paragraph describes a relationship and a connection between the matai and the land that is strong and harmonious, however the reality is that in today's world, that connection between the matai and the land as strong as we expect it to be. The primary objective of this paper is to examine whether the transnational Samoan matai still has a connection with customary and family land back in Samoa, and whether such connection eventually leads to a permanent return to the homeland for the transnational matai. According to the popular Samoan saying, "E lele le toloa, ae ma'au lava I le vai" - A wild duck may fly away, but will always return to its habitat, the swamp – alluding to the ideal that when Samoans leave the homeland, they usually return at some later point in time. This paper asks whether transnational matai actually return to the homeland, hence thesubtitle, "Does the Toloa still return to the water?" To what extent are Samoan matai living away from the homeland returning to reconnect with their lands, villages and homeland?

Aggregates refer to all types of quarry material such as sand, gravel and rock used to build and maintain roads, bridges, playing fields, buildings, water lines, sewer systems and other physical infrastructure.
An assured and continuous supply of quarry materials is vital to the long-term viability of the province's construction industry.
Crown land is often the only land available to communities, particularly rural communities, to spur economic development and help meet the challenges of their changing economies.
On-site operation of a temporary portable asphalt plant.
In evaluating applications and monitoring existing tenures, the Province of British Columbia ensures quarry operations comply with safety standards, land use compatibility and environmental sensitivities of the land.
Dispositions of Crown quarry land are made by public tender or direct offer in response to individual application.
Public tender is the preferred method of disposition for new deposits where materials are in high demand. Public tender is also used for already-known deposits where a quarry tenure or reserve is not being replaced. This may be by public auction, limited auction to interested parties, or by public offering.
provincial staff, through advertising referral processes or other means have determined that there is limited competition for the resource.
corporations that are registered in the Province of British Columbia or incorporated under the laws of Canada.
Quarry tenures may be in the form of a lease or a license.
Three types of tenure are available.
Initially, most quarry applications receive a 5-year License of Occupation. However, a 10-year replacement license may be issued after the initial license.
A Lease may be issued in cases where tenure is required for longer than a 5-year license of occupation or must be surveyed for other purposes. Most leases are for 10 years but may be increased to a maximum of 20 years in special circumstances.
Where a small quantity of quarry material is required over a short period of time or for exploration purposes that do not meet the requirements of the Permissions Policy, a Temporary Licence may be issued. The maximum term is 2 years.
In addition to the application fee and an annual land rent, royalties on extracted materials are charged.
An annual land rental for a lease or a licence is based on 1% of Appraised Market Land Value, with a minimum rent of $500 per year. Additional rental is charged for secondary uses associated with the operation.
Royalties are based on the amount of material extracted and the market value of the raw material. Rents are established by the Province of British Columbia offices based on local markets.
The Province of British Columbia does not charge royalties on construction aggregate used for building public works, such as highways.
Applicants are required to submit a Site Management Plan and to obtain approval for a Work Plan and a Reclamation Permit from the Ministry of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources.
Where an application for Temporary Licence t is intended to lead to a Direct Offer of a Licence of Occupation or a Lease, the submission of a pre-development plan is required. The pre-development plan will outline preliminary aggregate resource requirements.
If the gravel pit is within the Agricultural Land Reserve (ALR), a Soil Removal Permit is required from the Agricultural Land Commission for removing soil from Crown land within the ALR.
Quarry operators may be required to deposit a performance guarantee to ensure site cleanup. A Site Reclamation Program for post-extraction land use must be specified.
Operators are required to submit an annual report stating the quantity of material removed and end use of the material.
If your application is accepted, you will be notified if Advertising is required. Please wait for confirmation from the Province of British Columbia before advertising.

Opinion The Bio-Based
Opinion The Bio-Based Discussion A contribution to the discussion by Jeremy Tomkinson, CEO, Adrian Higson, Chemicals and Healthcare Manager, and John Williams, Polymers and Materials Manager, NNFCC, York, England Lately, methods for determining the renewable content of bio-based materials and products have been the subject of debate. In the May/June issue, Michael Carus put forward a good argument for determining bio-based content by measuring all the renewable components (carbon, oxygen and hydrogen) contained in a material (i.e. mass-based). However, measuring the renewable carbon content ( 12 C to 14 C ratio) has been suggested as a more appropriate alternative (i.e. carbon-based). To determine the best solution we must ask what are we trying to achieve by labelling something as bio-based? Bio-based materials should offer a unique opportunity to reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, displace fossil fuels and provide sustainable solutions to feedstock procurement. However, it is not clear how best to report these attributes to the consumer. The argument for using carbon-based labelling is clear. Plants remove CO 2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis, and this biogenic carbon is stored in the bio-based product. Energy can be recovered from the product at its 'end of life' as heat or power irrespective of the amount of oxygen and hydrogen. In this way bio-based products provide a more sustainable option than fossil derived equivalents. This carbon content can be determined by a single physical measurement independent of secondary information, allowing simple regulation of schemes. However, in certain circumstances promoting biogenic carbon-dense materials may be inappropriate and use energy inefficiently. For example, fossil-based plastics can be substituted with starch or organic acids, like lactic acid. These natural materials contain oxygen and hydrogen which contribute to the product's energy balance and assist in the biodegradation. Here, the carbon-based approach may show a lower bio-based content than the mass-based approach, but mask a smaller carbon footprint in the production process. There is obvious value in both measurement methodologies. Carbon-based labelling measures the biogenic carbon contained in a material, which is important in understanding the 'end of life' energy recovery. While mass-based labelling provides a more complete measure of fossil fuel displacement. Our recommendation Ultimately, a life cycle assessment is the most complete way to understand the overall carbon footprint of a material. However, reporting both the biogenic carbon content and mass of bio-based material present will take us a long way towards developing a wide range of sustainable materials. Table 1. Overview of the pros and cons of using mass- and carbon-based labelling of bio-based materials Pros Mass-based Oxygen and hydrogen can be important elements in a product's fossil fuel displacement Oxygen and hydrogen benefit material biodegradation Carbon-based Carbon is the most important element in renewable energy production and GHG mitigation at 'end of life' Simple single measurement Cons Requires secondary information Could promote resource inefficient products Does not describe how much carbon has been sequestered 38 bioplastics MAGAZINE [04/10] Vol. 5
New Series Personality In the last issue, bioplastics MAGAZINE started a new series of 'Personality Interviews'. We want to introduce well known personalities from the bioplastics industry from a slightly different point of view. We hope to provide some information about these people that our readers most probably have not known before. Catia Bastioli bM: Dear Mrs. Bastioli, if I may ask, when and where were you born? CB: In October 1957 in Foligno, close to Perugia in the center of Italy. bM: Where do you live today? CB: I live in Novara, in the Piedmont Region, Italy. bM: What is your education? CB: I have a degree in Pure Chemistry from Perugia University and a diploma in Business Administration from Bocconi University in Milan. bM: What is your professional function today CB: In addition of being the CEO of Novamont, I am a Board Member in different public and private institutions dealing with innovation. I also teach Biopolymers as Contract Professor at the University of Eastern Piedmont Amedeo Avogadro. bM: How did you 'come to' bioplastics? CB: In the late Eighties when I was a Project leader of the strategic project 'Composites' in Donegani Institute, Corporate Research Center of Montedison. The Company was acquired by Ferruzzi group, a leading agroindustrial player in Europe. The need to create a bridge between agroindustry and chemistry brought the Group to establish a new reseach center completely dedicated to renewable resources. I was asked to deal with the strategic aspects and the creation of an interdisciplinary team on Material Science starting from the renewable materials and biomass available in Ferruzzi. bM: What do you consider more important: 'biobased' or 'biodegradable'? CB: Both are of interest. Biobased is a more general concept, it relates to the origin of a product and to the reduction of fossil carbon; the assessment of the real environmental benefits of a biobased product, however, requires a systemic approach involving life cycle thinking. Biodegradability relates to the end of life scenarios, it is an important property for short life products, for products where recycling is difficult and has low probability to happen or when plastics are contaminated with organic waste such as food residues. bM: What was your biggest achievement (in terms of bioplastics) so far? CB: I feel the biggest achievement up to now is to have transformed the results of our technical research into an industrial reality, involving a new interaction with the agricultural world and the local areas. The biorefineries dedicated to bioplastics and chemicals integrated into the local areas from my point of view have a great potential with relevant environmental, economical and social implications. bM: What are your biggest challenges for the future ? CB: To transform our Company, which evolved from a research center, to a small/medium, up to a significant size reality, into a worldwide player, interconnected with other actors in a fast growing market, without loosing the peculiarity of our initial approach. Meaning to use bioplastics and bio-products as tools to build relevant cases of what I call a system based economy, involving the local areas. My dream is to bring a contribution to the valorisation of the territories with their biodiversity and cultural heritages, in terms of reindustrialization, competitiveness, quality jobs, environmental attention. I mean an industry, able to put human being and its environment in the centre. bM: What is your family status? CB: I'm not married and I have no children, but I have a fantastic partner. We have been together since the time of university. bM: What is your favourite movie? CB: I love movies, and my current favourite is Woody Allen's latest one 'Whatever works'. I also liked a lot 'Invictus' on Nelson Mandela. bM: What is your favourite book? CB: I read a lot of scientific literature, but I also like books. Some of my current favourite ones, however, are 'The periodic System' of the Jewish-Italian author (and chemist) Primo Levi. 'One Thousand Splendid Suns' of Khaled Hosseini and 'The Same and not the Same' of the 'Nobel Prize' Winner Roald Hoffman, on Chemistry. bM: What is your favourite (or your next) vacation location? CB: Whenever I can afford to take a few days off, I like to be alone in nature... bM: What do you eat for breakfast on a Sunday? CB: I like boiled eggs, yoghurt and - if possible - different types of berries. bM: What is your 'slogan'? CB: I don't like slogans. They transform people into 'supporters' like in football games reducing their ability to go in depth and to be free. bM: Thank you very much. MT bioplastics MAGAZINE [04/10] Vol. 5 39

kitimat LNG project benefits
helping create a world of opportunities
Kitimat LNG has the potential to be a key contributor to British Columbia becoming a major liquefied natural gas supplier. The benefits of this project will extend from local communities throughout British Columbia and across Canada. The project has already delivered and will continue to provide significant benefits to First Nations partners, as well as furthering development of new skills, training and jobs for a B.C., Canadian and Indigenous workforce.
The project proponents have already made significant investments in the early, pre-construction phase of the project including planning and preparing the LNG facility site at Bish Cove and the Pacific Trail Pipeline route. Further investment has also been made in the development of the prolific natural gas resources in the Liard and Horn River basins that will supply the Kitimat LNG liquefaction facility.
Benefits from the project will flow to all levels of government including increased tax revenue, job creation, and the purchase of Canadian goods and services throughout the LNG value chain. These benefits will increase significantly once a positive Final Investment Decision is achieved, along with significant taxes and royalty payments to the B.C. government, taxes to the federal government, additional economic opportunities, and investments in communities throughout the province during the life of the project.
future employment opportunities
Kitimat LNG has the potential to create a new world-class industry for the large-scale exportation of natural gas from British Columbia to global markets. At peak construction of the LNG facility, it is estimated that more than 3,000 people would be working on the Kitimat LNG plant site with another 1,500 workers building the Pacific Trail Pipeline. Significant employment and economic activity will also take place in northeastern B.C. in the development of the abundant natural gas resources that will supply the Kitimat LNG export facility
First Nations are key partners in the Kitimat LNG Project. A benefits agreement is in place with the Haisla Nation for the LNG facility at Bish Cove, which is located on Haisla land across the Douglas Channel from Kitamaat Village. The innovative First Nations Limited Partnership (FNLP) is unique in Western Canadian resource development and includes a benefits agreement with the 16 First Nations whose traditional territories are along the proposed Pacific Trail Pipeline route. Preferred employment, training and procurement opportunities are part of these agreements to ensure that First Nations benefit from the economic activity the proposed Kitimat LNG and Pacific Trail Pipeline projects will create.
$245 million in PTP contracts have been awarded to FNLP member businesses (65% of total) during the pre-construction phase of the project.
first nations benefits and opportunities
The First Nations Limited Partnership Agreement (FNLP) is a benefit agreement between Chevron Canada, Woodside and all 16 First Nations whose territories are located along the proposed route of the Pacific Trail Pipeline from Summit Lake to Kitimat.

Written in a language rarely heard in modern devotion, the poems in Rib Cage show old communities disintegrating, extended families dispersing, and people in economic or personal distress struggling for dignity and a clear sense of their predicaments. From plain speech to evocative lyricism, from free verse to hymnlike eloquence, Miller deftly gives a voice and a history to the places he creates, places that, in the end, expand to encompass all of humanity.

From Civil Rights to Civil Obligations
In his daily devotion today, Fr. Richard Rohr said we are moving from a time of emphasis on civil rights to a time of emphasis on civil obligations. Civil rights can lead to excessive individualism while the United States was founded with an emphasis on community with phrases such as "We the people" and "more perfect union."
Where do you think is the balance between civil rights and civil obligations?

757 Charges on capital sums received for sale of patent rights.
[ITA67 s288; CTA76 s21(1) and Sch1 par38]
(1)(a) Subject to paragraphs (b) and (c), where a person resident in the State sells any patent rights and the net proceeds of the sale consist wholly or partly of a capital sum, that person shall, subject to this Chapter, be charged to tax under Case IV of Schedule D for the chargeable period in which the sum is received by that person and for successive chargeable periods, being charged in each period on the same fraction of the sum as the period is of 6 years (or such less fraction as has not already been charged).
(b) Where the person by notice in writing served on the inspector not later than 12 months after the end of the chargeable period in which the capital sum was received elects that the whole of that sum shall be charged to tax for the chargeable period in which the sum is received, it shall be charged to tax accordingly.
(c) Where the person by notice in writing served on the inspector not later than 12 months after the end of the chargeable period in which the capital sum was received applies to have the fraction referred to in paragraph (a) determined as being other than the same fraction as the chargeable period is of 6 years, then, if it appears to the Revenue Commissioners that hardship is likely to arise having regard to all the circumstances of the case unless a direction is given under this paragraph, they may direct that the fraction shall be the same fraction of the sum as the chargeable period is of a number of years other than 6 years, and that the charge shall be spread accordingly.
(2)(a) Where a person not resident in the State sells any patent rights and the net proceeds of the sale consist wholly or partly of a capital sum, and the patent is an Irish patent, then, subject to this Chapter—
(i) the person shall be chargeable to tax in respect of that sum under Case IV of Schedule D, and
(ii) section 238 shall apply to that sum as if it were an annual payment payable otherwise than out of profits or gains brought into charge to tax.
(b) Where, not later than 12 months after the end of the year of assessment in which the sum referred to in paragraph (a) is paid, the person to whom it is paid, by notice in writing to the Revenue Commissioners, elects that the sum shall be treated for the purpose of income tax for that year and for each of the 5 succeeding years as if one-sixth of that sum were included in that person's income chargeable to tax for all those years respectively, it shall be so treated, and all such repayments and assessments of tax for each of those years shall be made as are necessary to give effect to the election; but—
(i) the election shall not affect the amount of tax to be deducted and accounted for under section 238,
(ii) where any sum is deducted under section 238, any adjustments necessary to give effect to the election shall be made by means of repayment of tax, and
(iii) those adjustments shall be made year by year and as if one-sixth of the sum deducted had been deducted in respect of tax for each year, and no repayment of or of any part of that portion of the tax deducted which is to be treated as deducted in respect of tax for any year shall be made unless and until it is ascertained that the tax ultimately to be paid for that year is less than the amount of tax paid for that year.
(3)(a) In subsection (2), "tax" shall mean income tax, unless the seller of the patent rights, being a company, would be within the charge to corporation tax in respect of any proceeds of the sale not consisting of a capital sum.
(b) Where paragraph (a) of subsection (2) applies to charge a company to corporation tax in respect of a sum paid to it, paragraph (b) of that subsection shall not apply; but—
(i) the company may, by notice in writing given to the Revenue Commissioners not later than 12 months after the end of the accounting period in which the sum is paid, elect that the sum shall be treated as arising rateably in the accounting periods ending not later than 6 years from the beginning of the accounting period in which the sum is paid (being accounting periods during which the company remains within the charge to corporation tax by virtue of subsection (2)(a)), and
(ii) there shall be made all such repayments of tax and assessments to tax as are necessary to give effect to any such election.
(4) Where the patent rights sold by a person, or the rights out of which the patent rights sold by a person were granted, were acquired by the person by purchase and the price paid consisted wholly or partly of a capital sum, subsections (1) to (3) shall apply as if any capital sum received by the person on the sale of the rights were reduced by the amount of that sum; but—
(a) where between the purchase and the sale the person has sold part of the patent rights acquired by the person and the net proceeds of that sale consist wholly or partly of a capital sum, the amount of the reduction to be made under this subsection in respect of the subsequent sale shall itself be reduced by the amount of that sum, and
(b) nothing in this subsection shall affect the amount of tax to be deducted and accounted for under section 238 by virtue of subsection (2) and, where any sum is deducted under section 238, any adjustment necessary to give effect to this subsection shall be made by means of repayment of tax.
(5) This section shall apply in relation to any sale of part of any patent rights as it applies in relation to sales of patent rights.


For other uses, see Milesians.
In the Lebor Gabála Érenn, a medieval Irish Christian pseudo-history, the Milesians (Irish: gairthear Mílidh Easpáinne) are the final race to settle in Ireland. They represent the Irish people. The Milesians are Gaels who sail to Ireland from Hispania after spending hundreds of years travelling the earth. When they land in Ireland they contend with the Tuatha Dé Danann, who represent the pagan gods. The two groups agree to divide Ireland between them: the Milesians take the world above, while the Tuath Dé take the world below (i.e. the Otherworld). They are named after the character Míl Espáine, which is the Irish form of the Latin Miles Hispaniae ("Soldier of Hispania"). Scholars believe that the tale is mostly an invention of medieval Christian writers.
The Lebor Gabála, which was probably first written in the 11th century AD by Christian monks, purports to be a history of Ireland and the Irish (the Gaels). It tells us that all mankind is descended from Adam through the sons of Noah, and that a Scythian king named Fénius Farsaid (descendant of Noah's son Japheth) is the forebear of the Gaels. Fénius, a prince of Scythia, is described as one of 72 chieftains who built the Tower of Babel. His son Nel weds Scota, daughter of an Egyptian pharaoh, and they have a son named Goídel Glas. Goídel crafts the Goidelic (Gaelic) language from the original 72 languages that arose after the confusion of tongues. Goídel's offspring, the Goidels (Gaels), leave Egypt at the same time as the Israelites (the Exodus) and settle in Scythia. After some time they leave Scythia and spend 440 years wandering the Earth, undergoing a series of trials and tribulations akin to those of the Israelites, who spent 40 years wandering in the wilderness. Eventually, they reach Hispania by sea and conquer it. There, Goídel's descendant Breogán founds a city called Brigantia, and builds a tower from the top of which his son Íth glimpses Ireland. Brigantia refers to Corunna in modern-day Galicia, in Spain, (which was then known as Brigantium) and Breogán's tower is likely based on the Tower of Hercules, which was built at Corunna by the Romans.
Íth sails to the island with a group of men. He is welcomed by its three kings: Mac Cuill, Mac Cecht and Mac Gréine. These three are members of the Tuatha Dé Danann, who ruled Ireland at the time. Evidence suggests that Tuath Dé were the main pagan gods of Ireland. Íth is then killed by unnamed attackers and his men return to Iberia. The eight sons of Íth's brother Míl Espáine (whose given name was Golam), lead an invasion force to avenge his death and take Ireland. After they land, they fight against the Tuath Dé and make for Tara, the royal capital. On the way, they are met on three mountains by Banba, Fódla and Ériu – the wives of Ireland's three kings. They are believed to have been a trio of land goddesses. Each woman says that the Gaels will have good fortune if they name the land after her. One of the Gaels, Amergin, promises that it shall be so. At Tara, they meet the three kings, who defend their claim to the joint kingship of the land. They ask that there be a three-day truce, during which the Gaels must stay a distance of nine waves from land. The Gaels agree, but once their ships are nine waves from Ireland, the Tuath Dé conjure up a great wind that prevents them sailing back to land. However, Amergin calms the wind by reciting a verse. The surviving ships return to land and the two groups agree to divide Ireland between them. The Gaels take the world above, while the Tuath Dé take the world below (i.e. the Otherworld) and enter the sídhe, the ancient burial mounds that dot the Irish landscape. Amergin divides the kingship between Éremon, who rules the northern half of Ireland, and Éber Finn, who rules the southern half. This division of the land was probably invented by the writers to explain and justify the 7th/8th-century division between the royal capitals of Tara and Cashel. The Lebor Gabála then traces Ireland's dynasties back to Milesian Gaels such as Éremon and Éber. Modern scholars, however, believe that these were fictional characters and that the writers were attempting to give the medieval dynasties more legitimacy.
The Historia Brittonum—which was written before the Lebor Gabála—gives another account of the Milesians. It says that "three sons of a Spanish soldier" sailed from Iberia to Ireland with thirty ships, each carrying thirty wives. They see a glass tower in the middle of the sea with men on top of it, but the men do not answer their calls. The Milesians set out to take the tower, but when they reach it, all but one of their ships are sunk by a great wave. Only one ship makes it to land, and its passengers are the ancestors of all the Irish. In the Lebor Gabála, it is the earlier Nemedians who are drowned while trying to take a tower.
Modern scholars believe that the tale is mostly an invention of medieval Irish Christian writers. They sought to link the Irish to people and events from the Old Testament, to liken the Irish to the Israelites, and to reconcile native pagan myth with Christianity. They were inspired by other medieval Christian pseudo-histories, such as Galician cleric Paulus Orosius's History Against the Pagans, Saint Jerome's Chronicle, and the works of Isidore.
The claim that the Irish Gaels came from the Iberian region of Galicia may be based on three things. The first is the similarity of the names Iberia and Hibernia and the names Galicia and Gael. Medieval pseudo-historians made similar claims about other nations based only on their names. The second is Isidore of Seville describing Iberia as the "mother[land] of the races". Isidore's works were a major source of inspiration for the writers of the Lebor Gabála. The third is Orosius describing Ireland as lying "between Iberia and Britain". The Roman historian Tacitus also thought that Ireland lay between Iberia and Britain. John Carey notes that if Iberia was thought to be the part of mainland Europe nearest to Ireland, it would be natural "to see it as the source of arrivals from overseas". The mythical Milesians are also often assumed to be a wave of Celtiberian invaders, especially as their language was apparently Q-Celtic like Irish, and not P-Celtic.
For centuries, the myth of the Míl Éspaine and the Milesians was used in Ireland to win and secure dynastic and political legitimacy. For example, in his Two bokes of the histories of Ireland (1571), Edmund Campion tried to use the myth to establish an ancient right of the British monarch to rule Ireland. In A View of the Present State of Ireland, Edmund Spenser accepted and rejected various parts of the myth both to denigrate the Irish of his day and to justify English colonisation of Ireland in the 1590s (at the height of the Anglo-Spanish war).
The myth was cited during the Contention of the bards, which lasted from 1616 to 1624. During this period poets from the north and south of the island extolled the merits of the dynasties that gave them patronage, and attacked the dynasties from the other half of the island.
Geoffrey Keating's Foras Feasa ar Éirinn (written c.1634) used the myth to promote the legitimacy of the Stuart claim to royal authority in Ireland (related to the origin of the Lia Fáil), demonstrating that Charles I was descended, through Brian Boru, Éber and Galamh, from Noah and, ultimately, from Adam. In the early modern period many Irishmen and women fled to Spain as a result of political and military turmoil in their homeland. The belief that the Gaelic Irish were descended from Míl Espáine and his Spanish followers was current in Spain as well as Ireland, and as a result the Irish in Spain were given all the rights and privileges due to Spanish subjects.
Among the many theories of Stone of Scone origins, Medieval Scottish lawyer Baldred Bisset put forward the theory it was transported from ancient Egypt via the Iberia peninsula or Celtiberia to Ireland by the daughter of an Egyptian Pharaoh Scota, who was also the wife of Goidel Glas, an ancestor of The Milesians. The stone has been associated to Lia Fail of the Hill of Tara, which was used as an Irish High Kings' Inauguration Stone. According to Bisset, Scota along with a band of Irish warriors later invaded Scotland taking her Royal seat with her. Ultimately it was confiscated by King Edward I of England through conquest.
