Made our holiday
Initially I was worried about landing with my family and the car not turning up, then the flight was delayed by over an hour and that added more worry. Whilst i was still waiting to board I received a text message from the taxi company saying that the flight was delayed and they were tracking it. When I landed I received a text message with the driver contact details, his arrival time and his photo!! When we came through he was standing there with our name on a smart looking tablet! He was great, he ran us around during our stay a few times and we had him again when it was time to leave. Michelle

The third day and I am back on the road. A slight misunderstanding and language barrier, I mistakenly took the wrong vehicle finding myself in Conakry. Luckily for me I met a man that speaks krio and he said this is Bambeto and not Coyah; at the other said you will smell the ocean and the huge structure of the U.S. Embassy. Had in not been the intervention of Rafiou Jalloh, I wonder what it would have been like for me in this strange place. He helped me board the right cab to a place called Madina where I got a vehicle heading straight to Pamalap which is the border town between Sierra Leone and Guinea.
While waiting for another three hours in this noisy park, I noticed an old man selling meat with tons of flies on it. Every minute he kept shaking a piece of cloth to scare the flies off his meat. Soon it was all sold, including the intestine, which I conclude he was giving as a bonus, so it is here in Sierra Leone.
Later that evening, we were off again on the road leading to Salone. Five of us at the back seat; a sitting place actually meant for three. The driver sharing his seat with another making it four in front. His left arm way out of the windows as he struggles to control the steering. The roads are like "In the pond, out of the Pond". Several wrecks on the road and every time he has to go under the car to fix something.

The royal fifth (Spanish and ) is an old royal tax that reserves to the monarch 20% of all precious metals and other commodities (including slaves) acquired by his subjects as war loot, found as treasure or extracted by mining.  The 'royal fifth' was instituted in medieval Muslim states, Christian Iberian kingdoms and their overseas colonial empires during the age of exploration.

The 'royal fifth' has a dual origin.  In Christian kingdoms, it partly comes from the medieval legal conception of seigneural or regalian rights over the natural patrimony, which assigned to the monarch or feudal overlord original property rights over all unclaimed, undiscovered and undeveloped natural resources (e.g. precious metals in the subsoil, salt in the rock, virgin forests, fish in the sea, etc.) within his jurisdiction. Consequently, private individuals who extracted these natural resources owed compensation to their original 'owner', the monarch.

The 20% tax rate on war booty stems from the practice of khums () in Islamic states. It was institutionalized from the start of the Islamic conquest, with the rate set down in Qur'an 8:41:

In practice, the share of the fifth reserved to the Prophet's family lapsed after Muhammad's death. The early Rashidun Caliphs, notably Caliph Omar, set down regulatory guidelines for what could and could not be regarded as war spoils, and assigned the fifth for welfare distribution. The 'fifth' eventually became an important source of financing for the Caliphal administration and army. Schools of Islamic law were divided on whether the fifth extended to treasure troves and mining. Some schools (notably, the Hanafite), regarded treasure and mines as 'spoils' and thus subject to the fifth, while others (notably the Shafi'ite and Hanbalite) regarded them as subject only to the conventional rates, e.g. zakat.

The medieval Taifa kingdoms of al-Andalus embraced the Hanafi argument and institutionalized the fifth on war spoils, treasure troves and mining.  The 'royal fifth' () was adopted by the Christian states of the Iberian peninsula (Castile, Portugal, etc.) during the reconquista and extended to their overseas colonies in the Americas, Africa and Asia.  They became an important part of crown finance.

During the age of exploration, Spanish and Portuguese captains and conquistadores were careful to always set aside the royal fifth from any spoils they captured, and accusations of embezzling the 'royal fifth' ended the careers of a few of them (e.g. Alonso de Ojeda, Pedro Alonso Niño). Nonetheless, to encourage exploration and colonization, Iberian monarchs often allowed explorers and colonial developers to retain part or all of the royal fifth, for at least some period of time. The conditions were usually spelled out in captaincy contracts or royal grants, e.g. in 1402, Jean de Béthencourt was allowed to keep the royal fifth as a condition for the conquest of the Canary Island for Castile;  in 1443, the Portuguese Prince Henry the Navigator was granted the royal fifth on all enterprise in the Madeira islands and sub-saharan Africa; in 1492, Christopher Columbus was allowed to retain 10% of the royal fifth of the West Indies (although he famously argued he was promised more); the 1532 contracts of the captains-donatary of colonial Brazil allowed them to retain 5% of the royal fifth.

In Spain, the quinto real on mining of all precious metals and minerals (in theory; in practice, it was collected only on gold, silver, mercury, gemstones and pearls) was codified by the edict of February 1504, and (with occasional exceptional grants) remained in force through all the Spanish empire until the 18th century. In 1723, it was reduced to a diezmo (10%) and in 1777 it was reduced further to 3%, with an additional duty of 2% if shipped to Spain.

Tim Donnelly files referendum to overturn California vaccine bill
Posted by Jeffrey Phillips | Jul 4, 2015 |
BY JEREMY B. WHITE
jwhite@sacbee.com
A former state assemblyman known for his defiant conservatism is seeking to reverse California's newly passed vaccination mandate.
The day after Gov. Jerry Brown signed Senate Bill 277, an intensely controversial bill requiring all California schoolchildren to be fully vaccinated, former Assemblyman Tim Donnelly submitted paperwork to overturn the law. Opponents of the bill have also predicted a legal challenge, arguing the law will unconstitutionally block unvaccinated children from receiving an education.
Proponents will have 90 days to collect at least 365,880 valid referendum signatures. If they succeed, SB 277 could not take effect until after the Nov. 1, 2016 election – a few months into the school year when the law would first apply.
During his time in the Legislature, Donnelly carved out a reputation as the most outspokenly libertarian member of his party, rising often to denounce the Democratic majority on issues like gun control and illegal immigration. He sought the Republican nomination for governor last year, enjoying a groundswell of conservative support before succumbing to the more moderate Neel Kashkari.
After leaving Sacramento, Donnelly launched a radio show, advertised as a transmission from "deep behind enemy lines in the occupied territory of the socialist republic of California." He has used the platform to promote vaccine bill opponents, who see the law as a government attack on parental freedom.
"With the stroke of a pen, Gov. Jerry Brown signed away a parent's rights to choose what's best for their own child," Donnelly said in an interview. He added that while he chose to get his own children vaccinated, "I made the choice of my own free will. I wasn't forced or compelled by the government."
Delaying implementation would mean "a longer period of time in which we'd be vulnerable to outbreaks," warned Sen. Richard Pan, D-Sacramento, who authored SB 277. But Pan said he remained confident voters would reject an effort to overturn the law, pointing to a recent Public Policy Institute of California poll showing broad support.
"We're pretty clear that the strong majority of Californians support vaccination and requiring vaccinations for school," Pan said. "People fought for this bill – they'll mobilize to defend the bill."
