Myanmar jails 153 Chinese illegal loggers for life
via BBC
A court in northern Myanmar has sentenced 153 Chinese nationals to life in prison for illegal logging.
The group were arrested in January in Kachin state, close to the Chinese border, during a military operation to crack down on illegal logging.
Two 17-year-old boys were also given 10-year jail terms, and a woman in the group was given an additional 15 years for drug possession.
China has expressed concern about the severity of the sentences.
Foreign ministry spokesman Lu Kang said China had repeatedly raised the issue with Myanmar since the arrests of the group, who it says had been tricked into carrying out the logging.
It was asking Myanmar to «consider the actual situation of those loggers and deal with the matter in a lawful, reasonable and sensible way», China's Xinhua state news agency quoted Mr Lu as saying.
Life sentences in Myanmar usually last 20 years.
Logging – often using working elephants – was rife under Myanmar's military junta, depleting much of Myanmar's forests.
The military-backed civilian government, which came to power in 2011, has been trying to rein in the industry, and last year banned the export of raw timber.
But critics say illegal loggers are often able to make deals with the warlords who operate in remote regions close to the border.
The Chinese group were arrested during an operation against illegal logging allegedly sanctioned by the Kachin Independent Army, an ethnic rebel group active in the area.
The rebels denied their involvement.

I've been trying hard to find my little spot in the kitchen here in Taiwan, at my parents' place. Both my mom and my dad own the kitchen. Mom is in charge of daily meals, while my dad helps out with purchasing, preparation, making sauces, and blending fresh juice for the family.
Whenever I suggest cooking something for them, the idea always goes vetoed instantly. First, there is already tons of homemade food in the house. Second, they dislike my food. Yes, how sad is that?! Or should I just make myself feel better and blame that my mom and dad are the pickiest parent in the world!?
However, my mom finally agreed probably because her daughter was nagging everyday about trying and cooking some Taiwanese ingredients. Reluctantly and unable to find ear plugs, my mom gave in and took me to a local market, YES!
Upper left are the duck blood chunks and the pale green ball shaped things on the left are the pickled cabbages.
Add a small spoonful of salt into a pot of water and bring to a boil. Gently add in the duck blood and the pickled cabbage. Bring to a boil again then carefully scoop out both ingredients.
Pat dries the pickled cabbage and chop into thin strips. Gently chop the duck blood into big bite size chunks and soak in drinking water while preparing other ingredients. Make sure to soak in some kind of liquid otherwise the duck blood will dry out soon. You can also prepare the duck blood one day in advance and soak them in Asian spicy hot pot soup overnight.
Peel and slice the garlic cloves. Peel and slice the ginger root. Discard the stems from fresh chilies and finely chop the remaining. Rinse and pat dry the chives, remove the very bottom stems and chop into about 2 inches strips.
Drizzle some olive oil to the pan, about 2 tablespoons or just enough to evenly coat the bottom. Turn to high heat. Wait till the oil turns slightly hot, add in the chives and give it a quick stir, about 30 minutes. Transfer onto a plate for later use.
Drizzle another 2 tablespoons of olive oil to a big pan and turn to medium high heat. Add in the ginger slices along with one small pinch of salt. Cook till the edges of the ginger turns slightly brown, pick them out and add in the chilies, pickled cabbage, and garlic slices instead. Lower the heat a little bit if needed to prevent garlic slices from burning.
Cook for about 30 seconds, remember to stir constantly. Add in the seasonings - soy sauce, Chinese chili sauce, rice cooking wine, sugar, and black bean soy sauce. Give everything a quick stir.
Pour in one cup of hot water, mix a week bit. Carefully transfer the duck blood chunks into the mixture. Bring to a boil and lower the heat to keep it simmer. About 6 to 8 minutes. Lastly, add in the chives.
I actually keep the whole thing simmer for another 3 minutes till the sauce has been reduced by 1/3, but that way the chives will turn dark and some might think the dish will not be as pretty in presentation. If you want to keep the chives in vibrant green color, just add them last minute along with a quick stir then off the heat right away.
Last step, mix some corn starch with water, slowly pour them into the pan and stir the mixture at the same time to prevent lumping. Once the sauce thickens, pour onto a deep plate and drizzle some sesame oil, garnish with cilantro.
My first time cooking duck blood, not bad at all (despite my parents still think there're lots more rooms for improvements). Picky, picky.
So curious about this dish! Wish I could try it :p Reminds me of the "free flow" of duck blood and stewed tofu cubes in a spicy hot pot eatery in Taiwan.
Don't think can get duck blood in the US :(.

Q: *Link Does not call its javascript function in internet explorer Need your help on this.
Link

function printDoc()
{
    window.print();
}

I am using a hyperlink to call a JavaScript function that prints the page. It works perfectly on Chrome, but not on Internet Explorer.
What can be the possible solution?

A: this kind of function calls is deprecated. Probably use
Link

A: Inline javascript in general should be avoided, you'd be better of with something like
Link

var link = document.getElementById('someButton');
link.addEventListener('click', function (e) {
    e.preventDefault();
    printDoc();
});

I've put in a call to preventDefault() there but realistically if your using a  tag for something that isn't a link you should consider a button or span

After a long week of work, there's nothing better than enjoying my weekends. The weekends are usually spent with my Beau and of course with my Instagram Wives taking blog phots and doing brunch. Last year I had the pleasure of moving into my fellow IG wife's Darlene house, I am her downstairs tenant. One of the best things about moving into her house besides being closer to my blogger boos, was the fact that she had a dog. My baby Skittles unfortunately passed away almost 2 years ago and little Anakin has definitely filled that void of having a beloved pet. He's one of the sweetest, cutest and funniest dogs I ever met and I love him. It's amazing what the love of a dog can do and make you feel, seeing his little face just makes me smile every time. Some weekends I just want to throw on something cozy and just chill with him. It's always fun and he just loves being outside, running around, enjoying the day and barking at squirrels. He's just a hoot!
Sizing tip: The Melissa McCarthy line is very generous, I am wearing a 1X in the top. Keep that in mind when purchasing.

Our interactive marketing agency in Columbus provides interactive web design. All websites are interactive. The best websites are interactive experiences that tell a story and traverse a user through a journey. Interactive web design when done right sends a user down a path they choose and provides an outcome that they enjoy.
Interactive web design starts with a clear and concise focus on communication. What do we want to communicate and how will we communicate it? Goals are different for every website design process and they must be clearly outlined. The more interactive a site is, the better the interface has to be in relation to design. A user's experience on the website might be their only relationship with the brand. The best interactive experience is one that is immersive and keeps a user engaged until the goal is reached.
If there is interaction it must be purposeful. It is too bad that more website designers and developers do not live by that standard. Interaction when forced, feels forced. Users do not want to be interrupted or engaged when they have not enacted that action. As interactive web designers, it is our job to create an experience that guides a user through interaction. This can come in the form of literal hints on the page, subtle use of scrolling, or by simply designing with user discovery in mind. Every website is different and every website in order to be it's best must use interaction elegantly and wisely.
Good interactive design does not mean removing elements on mobile to make it "look good". Looking good is great but when the experience changes drastically or elements simply snap and stack on top of each other without being truly optimized, this is not best practice. Good interactive design for mobile might start with mobile design. Another approach would be to design with mobile in mind. Mobile design should never be an afterthought.
Media for the web generally consists of text, graphics, images, video, and sound. There are more but at the core, the above elements are all well within the tool belt when it comes to production. Interacting with elements implicitly requires reason. Without reason interaction is meaningless. The elements a user is interacting with must conform to their initial action that presented the data to be consumed or further interacted with. To make the last statement short and sweet, a user should always be in control and always feel empowered through interaction.

2018 marks the 20th anniversary of LACUNA COIL's debut. To celebrate this special year, they played an exceptional show on January 19 in London at the O2 Forum Kentish Town. The unique, one-time event was filmed and recorded for "The 119 Show - Live In London", which is being released today (Friday, November 9).
A performance clip of the song "Nothing Stands In Our Way", taken from "The 119 Show - Live In London", can be seen below.
The band comments: "What took place at the O2 Forum Kentish Town in London on the 19th of January 2018 was pure magic. It was definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us as a band and as people. The work involved, the pre-performance tension, the intensity on stage, the energy between us and the audience — all of this was beyond anything we've ever done before. This event was not just a show, it was a birthday party, an anniversary celebration and most importantly a huge THANK YOU to everyone who travelled side by side with us for the last twenty years. And now, with the release of 'The 119 Show - Live In London', we can also share the magic with those fans who weren't able to party with us in January."
Scabbia explained to Tattoo.com that "there is a reason" January 19 was chosen as the date for the anniversary show. "It's because 1/19 is recognized as 'Lacuna Coil Day,' because we have a song that's called '1.19', so the people from the fan club and the fans decided to declare it 'Lacuna Coil Day,'" she said. "And we thought about making a special show in London, because, logistically, we thought it was the easiest way to reach, even for people who are not coming from Europe, our area. Usually the flights are cheaper. Like, if you come from the States, it's easier to reach London than Milano, for instance, [which] is our hometown. So we thought about London."

Renovotec is growing at 15% per annum and plans further acquisitions.

"The Ultimate Guide to Skinning and Tanning" by Monte Burch was a book I read when learning how to tan hides. On the left is a skinning knife with a gut hook, and on the right of the book is a fleshing tool.
A phrase I have heard many times in life says, "You'll never know 'til you try." Though the wording may be different around the world, the meaning to it remains very true. Without the will to grow and put forth the effort, an individual would find it difficult to take up new hobbies or projects that could benefit the future of their home, their income, and their well-being. Whether it's reading a guide on better livestock care or watching a video of how to construct your own smokehouse, there are always opportunities to learn on the homestead.
There are multiple ways to gain new skills and knowledge, and they all have their own pros and cons depending on what sort of learner you are. Some people are able to simply pick up a book with a few illustrations and put it into practice, while others may be able to watch a tutorial online on the subject. Watching a video may not be enough for others, and they may find it more beneficial to work with an experienced individual to guide their process. No matter which initial method you choose to approach something new, in the end, it will be necessary to put your learning to the test by doing it yourself.
I have always been an avid reader, and I retain knowledge much easier through words. If I ever try to explain something to another person, I find it hard to describe the things I do out loud. However, if I were to write down step-by-step what I was doing, I would find myself giving much more detail on paper. This same concept also applies to the way I learn, because I seem to pick up more information and helpful advice by reading a book. It is also helpful to refer to measurements and instruction that is there for future reference in text, say you were without access to a computer. A physical book is often substituted with e-books and blogs in modern days, which can be equally helpful by providing you the chance to directly contact the author and possibly ask their advice.
At times, I have been unable to follow along with illustrations to pick up a new skill. It was necessary for me to watch a video of someone else at work. For instance, I have always been in awe of the intricacy of dream-catchers, and wanted to learn how the webs within them were made. A quick "how to" search led me to a visual tutorial that, coupled with the maker's slow process and thorough explanation, gave me the confidence to try it myself. There is a great benefit to videos, as you can pause or repeat them as need be.
Sometimes, little can compare to working side by side with a skilled individual that has years of experience and adaptation. Five people may all tell different tips and tricks for fur trapping, for instance, and sometimes you may find yourself combining multiple methods to achieve your finished product or pick up a new trade. You may even be lucky enough to have workshops and classes advertised locally, whether they are free or at a small cost. As an example, there is a farm a few miles away from us that offers classes for beginners on canning produce during the harvest season. Having a mentor is beneficial, as they can offer advice for improvement in person. It is important to find someone who is patient and willing to explain theirs steps when learning in this way.
There comes a time to apply what you have learned to physical practice, and it will come with its challenges. You won't immediately be perfect at building, crafting, or growing something new. It takes perseverance, hard work, time, patience, falling down, and getting back up. When your first batch of strawberry jam doesn't set up right, or your measurement for the chicken coop is off by an inch, I encourage you to not give up. Instead, seek to learn from that mistake, refer back to instruction if need be, and try again. Taking notes as you go is helpful, and may benefit another learner in the future! There may be a hobby that you wanted to try that doesn't work out, but if nothing else, simply find satisfaction in knowing that you followed through. Just remember that you won't know the end result unless you give it a chance!

Projects Abroad has its office in Cusco, a designated World Heritage Site located near the Urubamba Valley of the Andes mountain range. It was the also the historic capital of the Inca Empire from the 13th until the 16th century. Cusco is popular with tourists, with incredible architecture and historical monuments, as well as stunning landscapes and a thriving culinary scene.
If you want to work in the rainforest, our Conservation & Environment project is an hour's flight from Lima to Puerto Maldonado, followed by a one hour boat trip up the Madre de Dios river - it's a jungle adventure just to get there!
Peru, which is five times the size of the UK, was shaped by the Incas and the Spanish. Hispanic and Amerindians live, for the most part, in harmony, and Spanish and Quechua are both spoken in the markets of the Sacred Valley of the Incas, as well as in Lima.
The mysterious and magnificent lost city of Machu Picchu attracts tourists, archaeologists and historians alike. Incan ruins are everywhere; you will find they even form part of the structure for modern day buildings!
Peru is the perfect place to immerse yourself in South American life while you're volunteering abroad. In the towns you can sample local brews like Pisco Sour or Cusquena and you may even find yourself celebrating your birthday with Cuy - guinea pig - as the main dish!
From Cusco, it's easy to visit the world-famous Machu Picchu. You can also go rafting on the Urumbaba River or see traditional Andean theatre and dance. If you're seeking thrills of an adrenaline-driven nature, venture into the Andes, which offer some of the best mountain-climbing and trekking opportunities on the planet. Take a weekend trip to explore the enigmatic Nazca Lines, or enjoy a boat ride on Lake Titicaca: the world's highest lake.
Although Peru is a great gateway to the rest of South America, there are so many rich things to see within the country itself that you may not ever want to venture over its borders! It's a magical melting pot of different cultures, stunning scenery and bio-diversity.

Rank / Service No: Corporal, STK/1998
Died: 13th November 1916, aged 25 years
Buried: Redan Ridge Cemetery No. 1, Beaumont-Hamel, France (A.16)
Percy was the second of 3 siblings born to George Lingard and Caroline Burrington (nee Eveleigh), who married in Exeter on 23 December 1884.
George was born in Exeter in 1862 and he died in Southampton in 1914. Caroline was born in Devon in 1862 and she passed away in Surrey in 1937.
The family lived at 56 Bevois Street.
Ethel Lucy b. 1887 Exeter d. 1957 Croydon Married John Arthur Matcham in Southampton in 1909.
Percy Charles
Horace Francis b. 1889 Exeter d. 3 May 1918 France Married Mary Pearl in Leederville, Western Australia in 1914. Horace enlisted in the 48th Battalion Australian Infantry of the Australian Imperial Force on 29 April 1917 (Private, 4306).
At the time Mary and he were living in Bunbury, W.A
He is commemorated on the Villers-Bretonneux Memorial in France, which commemorates all Australian servicemen who died in France and Flanders during WW1. Graves are still being discovered…the memorial originally had 10,982 names on it, it now has approx. 10,740.
The 23rd Battalion was originally formed at the Hotel Cecil in the Strand, on 25 September 1914, by Mrs E. Cunliffe-Owen.
Initially known as the "Hard as Nails Battalion", it soon moved to Hornchurch and came under the command of the 99th Brigade in the 33rd Division.

The village of Beaumont-Hamel was held by the Germans, strongly fortified and seen as impregnable. An attack was originally planned for 24 October 1916, but appalling weather delayed it until 13 November.
A huge mine was detonated near the German lines, but the advancing troops still met stout resistance.
Casualties were heavy…19 of Percy's regimental colleagues also lost their lives that day.

UK: 90,000 cultural jobs lost due to pandemic
Around 86,000 jobs in the UK's cultural nighttime economy sector have been lost due to the Covid-19 pandemic, according to a new report.
The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA), which commissioned the report, says it has found that the sector has been "ravaged" by the pandemic.
The report shows for the first time the value of the UK's nighttime cultural economy, which was 1.6% of GDP – or £36.4 billion – in 2019. This contribution accounted for 425,000 jobs across the UK.
The NTIA says there are fears that many of the jobs lost to the pandemic in the nighttime economy sector will be lost for good, with businesses closing and persistently lower demand for services.
The association has warned that it is "the worst possible time to introduce vaccine passports, which will further damage a sector essential to the economic recovery".
"We are calling for [the chancellor] to extend the 12.5% rate of VAT on hospitality until 2024, including door sales"
"[This report is] timely because at this moment, governments in Scotland and Wales are pressing ahead with chaotic vaccine passport plans, and the UK government refuses to rule out their use in England," says Michael Kill, CEO at NTIA.
"It is crucial the chancellor uses the upcoming Budget to support this beleaguered sector. We are calling for him to extend the 12.5% rate of VAT on hospitality until 2024, include door sales in that reduced rate of VAT, because the present system punishes nightclubs that rely on door sales rather than selling tickets, and for him to ensure there are no increases in alcohol duties – our sector really cannot afford any additional burdens."
The last Budget took place on 3 March 2021 and included an extra £300 million for the Culture Recovery Fund (CRF), 'restart grants' for hospitality/leisure businesses, the extension of the coronavirus job retention scheme (furlough) and self-employed income support (SEISS) schemes, and business rate relief.
The budget also confirmed an extension of the 5% rate of VAT on ticket sales for a further six months, with an interim rate of 12.5% until April 2022.
UK live industry cautiously welcomes 2021 budget
The UK's live music industry has welcomed many of the provisions contained in the 2021 government budget, presented this afternoon by chancellor of the exchequer Rishi Sunak, but expressed its disappointment at the continued lack of a European-style insurance scheme for festival organisers.
Among the measures unveiled by Sunak in the Commons today (3 March) are an extra £300 million for the Culture Recovery Fund (CRF), 'restart grants' for hospitality/leisure businesses, the extension of the coronavirus job retention scheme (furlough) and self-employed income support (SEISS) schemes, and business rate relief.
The budget also confirmed an extension of the 5% rate of VAT on ticket sales – a key campaign focus for pan-industry group LIVE (Live music Industry Venues and Entertainment) and the whole UK concert industry – for a further six months, with an interim rate of 12.5% until April 2022.
Paul Reed, CEO of the Association of Independent Festivals, says: "We warmly welcome the extension to the reduced VAT rate on tickets, which will really help festivals during the 2021 sales cycle. For many AIF members, this is the first period in which they are selling tickets since the outset of the pandemic. We do, however, reiterate the recommendation of the DCMS select committee for VAT on ticket sales to remain at a reduced rate for three years so that the UK festival sector can fully recover.
"The Culture Recovery Fund has been a lifeline for many of our members so it's greatly encouraging to see a further £300m invested into this, though we would appreciate some further detail on this additional round and the time period it will cover.
"Independent festival organisers would much rather mobilise their staff to plan a full and successful festival season this summer"
"We also welcome the extension to the government's furlough scheme and continued support for the self-employed. However, independent festival organisers would much rather mobilise their staff to plan a full and successful festival season this summer. As we have repeatedly stressed, the only way they can do this is with a government-backed insurance scheme that covers Covid-19-related cancellation. The chancellor today confirmed the extension of the government backed restart scheme for film and TV productions – a similar safety net needs to be put in place before the end of March to avoid mass cancellations throughout the UK's festival market."
Lucy Noble, chair of the National Arenas Association, comments: "For the live music industry, today's budget, and specifically the extension of furlough to September, is enormously welcome. The whole sector has been grateful for a 21 June 'not before' date for operating at full capacity, and the extension of the 5% VAT rate on tickets is something we had been hoping to see.
"Uncertainty remains, and the lack of insurance for Covid-related cancellation is a huge concern – what the entire live sector wants is to be allowed to trade safely out of this situation and once more welcome people to come together for extraordinary shared experiences."
"Music Venue Trust welcomes the extensions to furlough, SEISS and the VAT cut on ticket sales," says MVT CEO Mark Davyd. These measures are supportive of the next steps in the campaign to reopen every venue safely. On business rates, we note that the Chancellor has provided a 100% cut for the initial three-month period in which venues will not be trading. This period does not resolve the long running debate on business rates, and we look forward to a full discussion of this outdated and anachronistic taxation in the business rates review in Autumn 2021.
"The chancellor announced additional funding to be distributed by Arts Council England [ACE], but the purpose of this funding is unclear; we hope to work with ACE and DCMS to ensure it is effectively distributed, and includes sensible and structured capital investment that enables our music venues to become more Covid-secure."
"The needs of those in mixed employment, and those individuals operating as limited companies, were not met"
Annabella Coldrick, chief executive of Music Managers Forum, says: "The MMF welcomes the extension of eligibility for support to the self-employed. This is a really important measure that should have an impact on our community and their clients, many of whom faced real hardship during the pandemic, although unfortunately directors of limited companies are still excluded. We also welcome the £300m Cultural Recovery Fund for reopening, although it was disappointing not to hear any developments on government-backed insurance for live music events which is urgently needed to get us back up and running in July.
For a full longer-term music recovery, to a place where artists can perform to full capacity crowds and tour internationally, we will need this kind of targeted and continued support reaching into 2022."
"We welcome the continuation of support for employers and self-employed workers, as well as the addition of those newly self employed sole traders; this is tempered by the disappointment that the needs of those in mixed employment and those individuals operating as limited companies were not met," adds Dave Keighley, chair of the Production Services Association.
"Support for companies is also broadly welcomed, although doubt over whether business rate relief applies to our members that support hospitality and leisure remains. Any discounts given to venues should be clearly extended to those companies that work in those venues, recognising that live events are an ecosystem that needs complete support. Although the extension of the 5% VAT rate helps, it needs to be extended to assist our sector's recovery.
"The extension to the Culture Recovery Fund is encouraging, we hope that the current and subsequent rounds will support event more of our member companies that support cultural activity."
Keep VAT at 5%, pleads UK live sector
Leading UK live entertainment industry organisations and associations have written to the chancellor of the exchequer urging him to maintain the temporary 5% rate of value-added tax on ticket sales.
While lower rate of VAT was brought in last year, the business has yet to feel the benefit due to its near-total closure since March 2020. In the letter, addressed to Rishi Sunak, the signatories say that if the government raises VAT back to 20% in the March budget, the policy will have been pointless and will pull millions of pounds' worth of support when the industry most needs it.
"The whole sector has been brought to its knees by the pandemic," says Lucy Noble, chair of the National Arenas Association (NAA). "Increasing VAT on tickets by 300% at this time could be the final nail in the coffin for many in the music industry. And at precisely the moment when people urgently need the joy of music in their lives."
The Department of Digital, Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) select committee recommended a three-year extension to the 5% VAT policy in their Impacts of COVID-19 on DCMS Sectors inquiry in July last year. The committee's chair, Julian Knight MP, says: "Pulling the plug on the reduced VAT rate for ticket sales now would be short-sighted. The DCMS Committee recommended in its July 2020 report that the 5% VAT rate should be kept for three years.
"With live events still unable to operate, this is needed more than ever. I fully support LIVE [Live music Industry, Venues & Entertainment]'s campaign. Now is the time to extend support for our vibrant creative sector, which could be a cornerstone of our economic recovery from this crisis."
"Increasing VAT on tickets by 300% at this time could be the final nail in the coffin for many in the music industry"
In addition to the NAA and umbrella organisation LIVE, signatories to the letter include the Concert Promoters Association, Music Managers Forum, Music Venue Trust, UK Theatre, the Association of Independent Festivals, the Entertainment Agents Association and the Musicians' Union.
Julian Bird, chief executive of UK Theatre and SOLT (Society of London Theatre), comments: 'The theatre industry, alongside others in the performing arts and live events sector, was first into lockdown last March, and will almost definitely be one of the last out. With a usual annual audience of over 34m, generating around £1bn for the Treasury every year, the UK's theatres contribute hugely to the economic and cultural life of this country, and will be key for local recovery.
"It is vital that the government helps ensure the industry's survival by continuing the reduced VAT rates.'
Prior to the outbreak of the pandemic, the UK's creative industries were growing at five times the rate of the wider economy, generating £11.25 billion in gross value added each year and supporting over 600,000 jobs. Without urgent and targeted government intervention, the companies, producers, performers and infrastructure that support these industry's complex ecosystem will not be able to recover once the pandemic is over, warns LIVE.
VAT cut 'could save Hungarian live sector'
The Hungarian live music business is calling on the government to support the industry by slashing the sky-high VAT levied on concert and festival tickets.
Currently, value-added tax is charged at 27% on concert and 18% on festival tickets in Hungary. According to a new report by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), the Hungarian government could give the industry – whose revenues are 10% what they were in 2019 – a shot in the arm, and make it more "crisis resistant" in future, by cutting VAT to a uniform 5%.
The report – funded by Music Hungary, Sziget festival, promoter InConcert, the Hungarian Festival Association (Magyar Fesztivál Szövetség) and the Association of Music Managers (Zenei Managerek Szövetsége), among others – was presented at Music Hungary's annual conference, held on 9 and 10 November, days before Hungary went into a second lockdown.
In 2019, the Hungarian live industry was worth an estimated 45 billion Ft (€125 million) by net ticket sales. PwC's analysis shows that a reduction in VAT to to 5% would provide the Hungarian music industry with an additional 6.7bn Ft annually, the tax cut more than paying for itself by stimulating increased ticket sales.
"A reduction in the VAT rate would have a positive impact on all players in the sector"
According to Dávid Szilágyi, chief analyst of PwC Hungary, the current rate of VAT also makes it difficult for promoters to afford foreign performers.
According to Music Hungary, the Hungarian music industry has received next to no aid throughout the coronavirus crisis, with just €23.5 million finding its way to the sector since March. Of that, €14m went to poorly received government-sponsored 'warehouse concerts' (raktár koncertek) held behind closed doors since August.
"Our research highlights the economic and cultural significance of concerts and festivals, and also emphasises that a reduction in the VAT rate would have a positive impact on all players in the sector," concludes the PwC report.
In October, IQ partnered with Hungarian Oncoming Tunes (Hots), the Hungarian music export office, to showcase the best of Hungary's resilient live music scene.
Tax break for German nightclubs
Live performances by house and techno DJs have been officially recognised as 'concerts' by Germany's Federal Fiscal Court, slashing the tax paid on live electronic music events to 7%.
Tickets for club nights were formerly levied at 19%, but are now eligible for the lower rate of sales tax after being redefined as "concert-like" events by the Bundesfinanzhof (BFH).
In a judgment dated 23 July, but published in late October, the BFH affirms that "the performance of techno and house music by various DJs give[s] an event the character of a concert, or a concert-like, event even if the music performances take place regularly (weekly)," according to Berlin-based legal firm Härting.
The majority of dance music shows were formerly recognised as 'party', rather than cultural, events.
"Most clubs should be able to benefit from the application of the lower tax rate"
The reclassification for clubs throughout Germany follows a similar move specifically for Berlin's Berghain in 2016, which was recognised as organising culture events and so eligible for the 7% rate of tax.
For nightclubs to benefit from the new tax rules, DJ performances must be the main purpose of the event (as opposed to dancing, partying and drinks sales), according to Härting.
"Even if these requirements have to be checked on a case-by-case basis, most clubs should be able to benefit from the application of the lower tax rate," the firm says.
All venues and bars in Germany are currently closed under a nationwide lockdown set to run until the end of November.
Scottish govt dedicates £2.2m to grassroots venues
Scottish grassroots music venues have received a £2.2 million boost from the government, following concerns that a previously announced £10m fund for performing arts venues neglected the commercial sector.
The fund, announced by Scotland's culture secretary Fiona Hyslop last week, aims to provide "immediate support" and "much-needed stability" to grassroots venues in the coming weeks.
The Scottish government had been involved in ongoing discussions with the Music Venue Trust (MVT), who had stressed the need for sector-specific funding for grassroots music venues in Scotland.
"We are delighted to have agreed this funding with the Scottish Government, and we thank them very much for their commitment to grassroots music venues," comments Nick Stewart, MVT's Scottish co-ordinator and manager of Edinburgh venue Sneaky Pete's.
"This funding will stabilise venues in the short term and prevent permanent closures, and we can begin to plan towards reopening every venue safely."
"This funding will stabilise venues in the short term and prevent permanent closures, and we can begin to plan towards reopening every venue safely"
MVT, along with other members of the Scottish live industry, had previously raised concerns that a £10m relief fund for performing arts venues in the country did not benefit the for-profit sector.
An open letter sent to the culture sector by a newly formed Scottish commercial music industry taskforce, which includes representatives from promoters DF Concerts, Regular Music, ATC Live, Fly Events, Active Events, Craft Management, A Modern Way Management, Ironworks Venue, Asgard and Sneaky Petes, asked the the government to "fulfill the Music Venue Trust and the Scottish members of the Music Venues Alliance's request for specific funding for grassroots music venues", noting "a lack of consultation with the commercial music sector".
In the letter, which was also signed by artists including Biffy Clyro, KT Tunstall, Simple Minds, the Proclaimers and Primal Scream, the task force urged the government to provide a "clear, conditional timeline" for reopening venues without social distancing and to establish a culture and creative industries infrastructure fund with the £97m earmarked for Scotland from the UK government's £1.57 billion arts and culture rescue package.
The taskforce was also among those to call for a value-added tax (VAT) exemption on ticket sales, days before the UK government's reduction in VAT on concert tickets from 20% to 5%.

UK government slashes VAT on concerts
The British government has announced that value-added tax (VAT) levied on concert and event tickets will be reduced to 5% from next week.
A cut in VAT was one of three main demands of last week's #LetTheMusicPlay campaign, along with a financial support package and a timeline with reopening music venues without social distancing. Following the announcement of on Sunday of a £1.57 billion aid package for the cultural sector, only the call for a confirmed date for reopening remains unfulfilled.
The VAT cut was announced late yesterday (8 July) by culture minister Oliver Dowden, following a 'mini-budget' that afternoon by chancellor of the exchequer Rishi Sunak. According to Dowden, the reduction in VAT from 20% to 5% will apply to concerts, theatre shows, exhibitions, circuses and other "attractions".
Pleased to confirm VAT cut from 20% to 5% for "attractions" announced by @RishiSunak includes
Shows, Theatres, Circuses, Fairs, Amusement Parks, Concerts, Museums, Zoos, Cinemas & Exhibitions
We will announce further steps on path to reopening shortly@EquityUK #PlanForJobs pic.twitter.com/V04WNPMXQM
— Oliver Dowden (@OliverDowden) July 8, 2020
The reduction will last for six months from 15 July, said Sunak.
As for a timetable on reopening, Dowden says the government will "announce further steps on [the] path to reopening shortly".
In a statement, the Entertainment Agents' Association welcomed the VAT reduction but said clarification is needed on where the cut-off point will be. "[A]s we can't open any [venues] at the moment, we need to know if this applies to tickets bought before the end of Jan for events in 2021," the association says.
Concert Promoters' Association chair Phil Bowdery comments: "Yesterday's announcement on the VAT reduction for ticket sales is a significant show of support for our industry from the government and is a sign that they are willing to work with us to find targeted measures to support this vital part of the UK economy. We want to thank the government, and in particular Oliver Dowden and Rishi Sunak, for their support and the confidence they have shown in the iconic UK live music industry."
"To unlock the potential value this creates, we urgently need some firm commitments to reopening dates"
"We also know there is lots more to do and our industry is not out of the woods yet, and we will continue to work hard with the government to get the support the industry needs over the coming months."
National Arenas Association chair Lucy Noble adds: "The measures the chancellor announced yesterday include a hugely welcome reduction in VAT from 20% to 5% for various sectors, including tickets for concerts. We are extremely grateful to the chancellor, treasury ministers and DCMS [department for digital, culture, media and sport] for listening to us and for their willingness to consider and implement measures to support the music industry at this critical time."
"We warmly welcome this sensible intervention into the live music sector, which responds directly to the asks we made of the government for the support we need," says Mark Davyd, CEO of Music Venue Trust. "To unlock the potential value this creates, we urgently need some firm commitments to reopening dates and some guidelines that would allow us to get tickets on sale and benefit from this tax cut."
Ticket prices rise in the Netherlands following VAT increase
Dutch concertgoers will spend more on their event tickets this year, as the country's reduced VAT rate has risen from six to nine percent. The increase applies to many goods and services, including "admission to cultural events".
In effect from January 1 2019, the new scheme will see average ticket prices rise by 3%, from €54 to €55.52, reports Entertainment Business.
Following the announcement last year, several Dutch venues advertised early-bird tickets for the last weeks of December, as those who bought tickets in 2018 for events occurring the following year could benefit from the previously lower VAT rates.
The tax increase goes against the grain, as several other European countries have celebrated a cut in concert VAT in recent years.
"We always try to keep ticket prices as healthy as possible, but a certain increase in costs for the customer is unfortunately unavoidable"
In 2017, cultural-sector VAT in Spain saw a reduction of over 50%, in a decision lauded by live music industry officials. The Portuguese live music industry welcomed a similar move some months later and, most recently, concert professionals in Italy benefitted from a reduced VAT rate.
However, major Dutch live music industry figures seem unconcerned by the increase and expect no detriment to sales or to the wider industry.
"Except for a single event, we have not had to raise our prices," says Mojo Concerts CEO Ruben Brouwer (pictured).
"We always try to keep ticket prices as healthy as possible, but a certain increase in costs for the customer, whether due to increased artist fees, staff costs or drinks prices, is unfortunately unavoidable."
Following an excellent start to the year in terms of January ticket sales, Eventim Nederland's managing director Henk Schuit is similarly positive: "The 3% increase will have little or no impact on ticket sales. The favourable economic climate has much more influence on sales at the moment."
Portugal to slash concert VAT to 6%
The Portuguese parliament has approved a new state budget that cuts the value-added tax (VAT) on tickets for live shows from 13% to 6%.
The Orçamento Geral do Estado, or General State Budget, for 2019, which was approved by Portugal's Assembly of the Republic yesterday (29 November), provides for a reduction in the VAT paid by promoters to 6% in the Portuguese mainland, 5% in Madeira and 4% in the Azores.
Promoters' association APEFE (Associação de Promotores de Espetáculos, Festivais e Eventos, Association of Promoters of Shows, Festivals and Events) says in a statement the VAT cut is not only a victory for APEFE, but for the entire cultural sector "and all Portuguese".
The reduction has also been welcomed by APEFE's counterpart in Spain, APM, whose president Albert Salmerón says Portuguese lawmakers have recognised culture as an "engine of economic growth and social progress."
In Spain, cultural VAT was cut to 10% from a sky-high 21% in June last year, while Italy followed suit in November.
Italian promoters welcome concert VAT cut
Italian promoters' association Assomusica has welcomed a reduction in VAT on concert professionals to 10%, saying the move, enshrined in Italy's 2018 budget law, recognises the "new reality" of the modern, production-heavy live music business.
"We welcome this measure, which we have expected since 2007, absolutely," comments Assomusica president Vincenzo Spera. "We worked with parliamentarians and ministers to come to this conclusion [and] thank the government for adopting this law, and all those who have worked for us."
The budget law extends the favourable reduced rate of value-added tax (VAT) currently enjoyed by concerts and other live entertainment to "related services provided by intermediaries", such as production and suppliers.
"Many years ago, live entertainment was different to what we have today"
"Many years ago, live entertainment was different to what we have today," continues Spera (pictured). "In the past there was a singer in a theatre, where there was already an artistic director and stage design. Today is different: today, concerts are performances that travel all over, with lighting, production designers, directors, sound engineers, everything that comes with the artist.
"It was necessary to bring the discourse up to date and to align VAT with live performance as a whole."
VAT in Italy is currently charged at 22%.
The tax cut in Italy follows a similar developments in Spain, where VAT on live entertainment has recently been reduced to 10%, down from 21%.


A small hill of El Toro in the Mexican state of Guan Huatlo. In the summer of 1944, a successful businessman from Denmark, Waldemar Julsrud, who had his own store in the small town of Akambaro, set off on a morning walk near El Toro. Here, clay figurines accidentally caught his eye. One of them resembled a mammoth.
The businessman lived in Mexico from the end of the nineteenth century and was very interested in the ancient culture of this country. For example, in 1923 he took an active part in the excavations of the cultural monuments of Chupikauro, dating back to the fifth century BC - the fifth century of our era. During this time, the businessman has already learned to understand artifacts quite well and therefore realized that the figurines he found do not belong to the famous civilizations of pre-Columbian America.
Julsrud begins excavations, hiring only one worker and promising to pay for each whole statuette one peso. For the peasant it was good money and therefore he worked very carefully. However if he found broken figures, he carefully glued them together. He did not want to lose the extra pesos. This was the beginning of a huge collection, the work was continued by his son Carlos, and then by his grandson. According to different sources, the collection consists from 33 to 37 thousand exhibits.
Among them are many varieties of prehistoric pangolins that disappeared from the face of the Earth several million years ago. All pieces of animals are unique, as well as other objects. They are all made in a single copy. Among them, there are species of reptiles well known to science and also some quite "unknown animals."
Numerous expert examinations were carried out on the latest word of modern science, which confirmed the age of the finds - the third millennium BC.
In the collection there are statuettes of people, reminiscent of Japanese. The proportions of the body were somewhat disturbed, and their clothes aroused great astonishment. But even more surprising was the fact that the figures depicted absolutely all races and nationalities, including many Caucasian peoples. The sizes of figurines vary from 10 cm to 1.5 m.
It is striking that there are joint images of people and pangolins. This was the reason for discrediting the discovery of Julsrud, since they refute the long-established linear evolution and the Darwinian theory of the origin of species. In 1947, the businessman published a book about his collection, but the science world did not react.
There were also other subjects, such as jade or obsidian musical instruments. Skulls of people, mammoths and ancient horses were also found.
In 1950, the mysterious repository of figurines was visited by the famous journalist L. Harmer from the USA. He visited the hill, where archaeological excavations were conducted and took several photographs. Another American, U. Russell, published an article accompanied by photographs taken from the excavation site. The journalist emphasized that the figurines were extracted from a depth of at least 1.5 m and it was necessary to carefully cut the mighty roots of old trees that had them entangled. Only these materials made scientists pay attention to these amazing artifacts.
In 1954, a delegation of quite venerable scientists was sent to Akambaro under the guidance of Professor Eduardo Norkvera. In the controlled excavations, three anthropologists and a historian also took part. In a few hours they dug up many similar figures and expressed a positive opinion about their age. Congratulating Julsrud, the delegation returned to Mexico City. A month has not passed since the report on the results of the expedition said that the figures are falsification, since there are statuettes of dinosaurs.
The following year Professor Charles Hapgood came to the place. He not only made excavations on the hill, but also opened the floor in one house nearby. At a depth of 2 meters he found shards of 43 of the same figures.
In 1968, Hapgood again visited the town with his friend E. Gardner, and in 1972 sponsored the publication of the book "Secrets of Acambaro." There are reports that there is a whole cave in the slope filled with all sorts of mysterious objects. Perhaps there is a whole "underground city".
In 1997, the NBC television channel broadcast a series of programs "Mysteries of Civilizations", which also talked about the figures of Julsrud. Authors within the framework of the program sent two samples for examination according to the latest C14 method. The human figure was dated to the 4th millennium BC, and the lizard - 1500 BC. But then it was announced that the date of crafting of the dragon - was not precise.
Two Americans helped to popularize the finds: anthropologist Denis Swift and geologist Don Patton. For 1999, they repeatedly visited and jointly obtained permission from the administration for the opening of the museum.
Professor John Thierry, who has studied the riddles of the hill for more than forty years, says that the figures found are only a small part of the giant "library" that accompanies the tomb, possibly some leader of an unknown ancient civilization. It is the tomb that should become the goal of studying for scientists of various fields of science. It is waiting for them. Mysterious, unexplored and yet inaccessible.
