Would you manage a plate of snails with more panache than Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman?Those aren’t questions you need to wrack your brains over, but when you’re online dating, little points of etiquette really can make a difference.Not only can they keep things running smoothly, but, more importantly, they can show your respect for other Parship members.Before you make contact with one of your recommended partners, take a careful look at his or her profile.
It can be too easy simply to disappear into Internet anonymity or to behave in a way that wouldn’t be acceptable in ‘real life’.Think about your dating deal breakers, and clearly express what you’re looking for. Posted by Sandy Weiner in dating after divorce, online dating after 40, single women over 40 | 0 comments Are you confused about emailing on online dating sites? I recently received a message on Ok Cupid from an attractive, educated, interesting guy. My first thought was that he must ignore all of the women who email him. Instead of jumping to conclusions, however, I wrote back. Since that interaction, I’ve paid close attention to my other email exchanges, and I’ve identified 3 essential online dating etiquette tips. I’m talking about emails that are clearly personalized and respectful. I could argue that being on several sites is his choice, and he should only make that choice if he can keep up with the responsibility. I enjoyed reading his profile, but I was very put off by the red dot signifying that he “replies very selectively” to the emails he receives. ”And so began a lengthy conversation about common courtesy and online dating etiquette. “It’s simply not possible for me to respond to everyone who writes to me,” said the red dot guy. If someone took the time to compose a personal message to you and you don’t reply, you’re being rude. It takes about one minute to compose a short email to say that you appreciate the message, but don’t think you’d be a great match. I don’t think it’s necessary to reply to copy-and-paste letters, or even the kind of one-liner this guy sent to me. And you should offer the same courtesy and respect to the people who write personal messages to you. The red dot guy went on to say that he was currently on 3 other dating sites, and it would be a full time job to reply to all his emails.

Aman is sitting the official Life In The UK test to prove he knows enough about Britain to be allowed to live here. He doesn’t speak English but still manages to pass with flying colours.
Meanwhile, a couple are sat in an unmarked car outside studying footage from a buttonhole camera attached to the Chinese immigrant taking the test.
They are part of a criminal gang feeding the man with the correct answers through an earpiece sewn into his shirt.
On hand are two WiFi-connected laptops ready to Google any perplexing brain-teasers. The lucrative racket, believed to be the first of its kind, netted the gang in excess of £600,000 until the Metropolitan Police finally caught up with them.
Convinced the technology was being exploited across the country, Scotland Yard tipped off other forces which are now on alert for similar scams.
‘This sort of technology will be used in other fields. If people discover a good trick, they tell others,’ says Black, based in Wimbledon, south-west London.
The fraudsters placed advertisements in newspapers circulating in Chinatown promising immigrants a ‘guaranteed pass’ in the exam. Each victim â most among the lowest earners in the capital â was then forced to hand over Â£1,000.
The crime was uncovered after a tip-off from a member of the public, which led police to a parked BMW outside a cash machine. A power lead ran from the bonnet of the car to the driver’s seat. When the police arrived they found laptops, radio transmitters and other surveillance equipment.
At first detectives thought they were running a credit fraud operation, recording the numbers of people’s cards as they withdrew money. It was only when the Chinese man approached the car that things began to unravel. He had £1,000 in his pocket, believed to be the payment.
The couple in the car were Steven Lee, 37, and girlfriend Rong Yang, 38, British nationals of Chinese descent. The pair, from Redhill, Surrey, were jailed for eight months each for assisting unlawful immigration.
En Zhung, 38, of Deptford High Street, south-east London, and Ka Hung Pang, 53, of Grace Court, Crawley Road, Horsham, West Sussex, who took the test, were sentenced to 180 hours’ community work for deception.
Black says the UK Border Agency is reliant on the public and police to crack down on the increasingly sophisticated methods used by criminals to exploit the system.
A UK Border Agency spokesperson says: ‘This prosecution is proof that there is no hiding place for those who break the rules. The Home Office takes the integrity of the Life In The UK Test very seriously and has put tough measures in place to prevent cheating.

Now, that’s more like it. I bought a bottle of Rittenhouse 100 rye purely on a recommendation, and I think it’s a fantastic dram for an even more fantastic price. All rye whiskies share a similar flavor profile, full of baking spices like nutmeg and cinnamon, as well as black and white peppers and middle-eastern spices like cumin, clove, etc. This one is no exception, and is bottled at 100 proof (50% ABV) to boot. It is bottled in bond at approximately 6 years old. Shame on Heaven Hill Distilleries for not providing a website – or even a page on their own website – for this brand.
Nose: Cinnamon, clove, black pepper. Big spicy rye presence without too much nose tickle. Smooth and peppery. A little sweet overtone of marshmallow and black cherry. Also there’s a big oak influence – verging on woody. A few drops of water seem to dull the nose.
Palate: Medium body without much heft. The higher proof makes itself felt on the tongue, but quickly gives way to smoke, with charred wood upfront and a suggestion of smoked meat. Next there is a range of tobacco, clove, cinnamon, allspice, and brown sugar. A crackling Thanksgiving turkey comes to mind, or a pumpkin spice latte.
Finish: Long, evolving through spiced chai, vanilla, black tea and a lingering ghost of spent charcoal and, of all things, spearmint. A very nice progression, without any bitterness. The water coaxes out an extra few sweet notes – butterscotch hard candies and birch beer.
Overall: A tasty, satisfying dram. The smoky and peppery tobacco notes balance very well with the sweeter chai and brown sugar notes. It does not have the overbearing sweetness of some bourbons, nor the acrid dryness of some ryes. Not ground-breaking, but very much worth the price of a bottle. This is the kind of “ah hah!” flavor that brings life to the “American whiskey is a good value” adage. It’s certainly not true of several whiskies I’ve tried recently, but this one almost makes up for all of those. 😉 If you’re curious about rye and want to taste a good one without shelling out for something top-shelf, get a bottle of this.
yup, definitely one of the better quality/value whiskies out there. if i’d known you were interested in inexpensive ryes, i definitely would have recommended this one. i think this baby, along with wt 101 and weller 12 are the perfect trio of quality american whiskies under $20/bottle.
Yes. A good rye whiskey and a reasonable price. And I have been drinking whiskey long enough to remember when one could buy a 5th of good whiskey in this country for under $5. Better than Old Overholt. No as good as Whistle Pig, but 1/3’rd the price of Whistle Pig.
This is not for people that are curious about rye. In my opinion, this bottle is way different than a typical rye. Redemption Rye is a basic rye that people who are economical and curious about rye should give a shot. If you want to spend a little more and get a rye more robust in flavors, Bulleit Rye is the best bang for your buck in my opinion. This rye is a smokey rye which seems very rare from my tastings. Its an interesting taste, but personally I’ll stick to Islay and Connomera when I’m trying to drink a smokey whisky. I consider Rittenhouse good not great. A reviewer above mentioned Whistle Pig…that’s my favorite rye but pretty costly. Jefferson’s rye is cheaper and offers some of the same notes as Whistle Pig, although the finish isn’t as titillating.
I understand that the quality of this one took a dive a couple years ago when they apparently changed to a different distillery due to a fire at the old place. Any updates to your review on this rye whiskey?
Got a bottle this week. I’ve only tasted it once so far. It really has something going right in it, but there is still that $20 bottle flavor of harsh alcohol (yes it is 100 proof, I know). I’m going to go back and re-evaluate it once it has been opened a bit, and let it sit in my glass a bit to breath before I taste it.
Aside from the harshness it isn’t undrinkable (even neat) and you can certainly pick up a lot of great flavors.
Overall I’d say this is something I’d LOVE to try after a few more years of aging. They have something special in the bottle that I think they sold short by pulling it out of the cask early.
There used to be a lot of older Rittenhouse ryes on the market (I’ve seen a 21 year), but they all got snapped up when old American whiskey became desirable, and now all you can find is young stuff. Take a look at Hochstadter’s Rye… these days I alternate between that and the Rittenhouse as my “go-to” inexpensive rye in my cabinet. They both have something different to offer. Cheers!

It's been awhile since I've really been blown away by a YouTube video. That changed after I watched this!
Last year I got to fire off high flying legitimate fireworks in Nashville. Prior to that I used to celebrate Christmas on the 4th of July with my dad and step siblings. Yes, it really was awesome celebrating Christmas twice a year. Our 4th of July Christmas was a lot like the one in December. It came complete with presents, a turkey dinner, and house decorations. We even hunted through the woods and chopped down a tree.
By now you must be thinking that my family is a little bit loony but there was a rhyme and reason for our summer time Christmas celebration; we did it so we wouldn't end up receiving the same gifts from both sets of parents. At dusk after we opened all our gifts, we went outdoors and set off fireworks!
New York City's fireworks show is one of the best that our country has to offer. If you get a chance to ever watch in person, I highly recommend it! The next best thing to being there is watching this video!

USN Fleet Forces Band: "The Stars and Stripes Fovever"
When we're lucky enough to have an active-duty ceremonial band perform at our reunion, NMA President Terry Chesson always welcomes them with a warning, basically, "You're about to get applause like you never got before."
And why shouldn't this be so? We're honored to have a Navy band play for us; they're our brothers and sisters. We recognize excellence in performance; we're musicians. And we know the challenges of ceremonial band performance; we're MUs. We've all stood in formation on piers and quarterdecks, in hangers and ballrooms.
On June 28, 2014, the ceremonial unit of the United States Navy Fleet Forces Band performed for us. President Chesson, as always, warned them of the reception to come. Their performance, as always, earned our enthusiastic response. After the concert, as always, we wandered the ballroom in a collective daze, asking each other, "My god, could we have possibly sounded this good when we were in uniform?"
Here's the whole damn march.
I know I promised to post more about the NMA reunion when I returned to Illinois, but it's taken a while to recover from the flight home. While my ticket promised a short flight to Atlanta, GA, and another to Moline, IL, it did not include all the details or a definition of the word "short."
Diagram showing Frank Mullen's flight path home from Norfolk.
I boarded the plane in Norfolk, fastened my seat belt and the captain informed us we weren't going anywhere. Atlanta, where I was to change planes, was threatened by storms, so we'd have to wait.
In a concession to basic decency, passengers were allowed off the plane. It being likely I'd miss my connection in Atlanta--I was scheduled for an hour layover in which to navigate my way across an airport the size of Canada--I spoke with a ticketing agent. She booked me on an evening flight home out of Atlanta, but kept my original reservation active, just in case. I could see that my flight home might also be delayed due to weather, so I felt good about having two options.
After two hours of updates, we were finally invited back aboard, and off we went. The pilot made good time, but had to reroute around a moving weather system. This delayed us, but when I deplaned in Atlanta, I discovered the storm had delayed everything, including my connecting flight. But I missed it by minutes. The electronic schedule board treated me to the joy of watching the listing for flight 1523 to Moline flip from "Boarding in 5 minutes) to "Gate Closed."
This gave me six hours to kill in the Atlanta airport. I did a New York times crossword puzzle. That took eight minutes and fifty-five seconds. I had my computer and set up a chat room. I ate Mongolian steak. Finally, I got on an airplane. Life was good.
In Rio de Janiero or aboard the Cunard Queen of the Seas. On flight 1523, life wasn't so good. The captain told us storms had closed the Moline airport, so we'd have to circle the city in a holding pattern.
The city we'd circling, we soon learned, was Topeka, Kansas. You can only steer a plane in circles for so long before you take a look at your gas gauge and say, "Oops." Apparently that's what the pilot did, because he told us we'd better head toward Moline.
"Well, folks, we can't do this forever, so it's time we set this thing down. The weather has moved to the east, so I think I can get us down in about 15 minutes. Oh, by the way, we'll be passing through some convective weather patterns, so keep your seat belts fastened or you'll be throwing up Sprite and peanuts all over the passenger in front of you."
Long, yes, detailed, yes, but lacking in one specific and vital detail: he didn't tell us where we were going to land. Secrets are a big part of the airline industry; travel is so much more exciting when you don't know where you're going or when you'll get there.
But it truly was Moline. The well-kept secret fell apart when, thirteen hours after I left the hotel in Norfolk, I walked into the main concourse and found my wife waiting. Oddly, she wasn't terribly interested in hearing about my ordeal. It had something to do with the fact that she'd been sitting at a computer all day, tracking flights, trying to figure out where I was, and then spent half the night driving to the airport in pelting rain, dodging flooded roads in low-lying areas and swerving around panicked wildlife fleeing across the highways.

Staff and room was great!
Staff was friendly and helpful, room was clean and comfortable. Offered shuttle service to airport. We had a great stay!
Noisy hotel, if not lorries then aircraft. Comfortable and perhaps OK for the price, but no bells and whistles here - breakfast was poor.
Decent, clean hotel. Somewhat dated.
Trouble with staff during the 2:00 am check-in was resolved by the assistant manager. The rest of the stay was fine with the exception of Saturday am breakfast. Weather was rainy which caused the entire indoor dining area to be overloaded. Hotel access on a one-way service road is also a minor problem.
It was clean, but not like the LaQuinta in Claremore I stay in. The breakfast was not as other LaQuinta and the lady was not keeping it clean as there were a bunch of people that mowed through and made a mess which was not her fault. But she wasn’t checking, but sitting at the computer outside of her prep space on her phone. Otherwise it wasn’t bad. Would have liked some turkey sausage to go with the breakfast.

Little Tony was staying with his grandmother for a few days. He'd been playing outside with the other kids for awhile, when he came into the house and asked her, "Grandma, what is it called when two people are sleeping in the same room and one is on top of the other?" She was a little taken aback, but she decides to tell him the truth. "It's called making love, darling." Little Tony just said, "Oh, okay" and went back outside to the other kids. A few minutes later he came back in and said angrily, "Grandma, it is not called making love! It's called bunk beds! And Jimmy's mom wants to talk to you right now."
Professor Stein was lecturing his physics class. "If molecules can be split into atoms and the atoms split into electrons, can the electrons be broken down any further?" A pupil replied, "I'm not certain, but a sure way to find out would be to mail some of them in a Christmas package marked 'fragile.'"
In the old days, the way to get rich was to buy real estate and to simply wait for the population to grow and for the value of your real estate to skyrocket. Unfortunately for Europe and Japan, their populations are now shrinking. It takes around 2.3 children per couple to maintain a country's population, and the birth rate in both Europe and Japan is less than 1.6 children per couple.
The birth rate in the United States is slightly better, but its still only around 1.88. But for immigration, the population of the U.S. would be shrinking. Thomas Friedman, in his landmark book, The Next 100 Years, has predicted that when the Baby Boom Generation finally retires, many countries in the world will actually be competing for immigrants!
So where does a smart commercial lender make his new commercial real estate loans today? He makes them where the most new jobs will be created - in gateway cities. What is a gateway city? Why do commercial lenders only want to make their new commercial loans in gateway cities? Why do gateway cities create so many new jobs? It will all make sense to you once you have read this important blog article.

The game warden asked the man, "Do you have a license to catch those fish?" The man replied to the game warden, "No, sir. These are my pet fish." "Pet fish?!" the warden replied. "Yes, sir. Every night I take these fish down to the lake and let them swim around for a while. I whistle, they jump back into their buckets, and I take em home." "That's a bunch of hooey! Fish can't do that!" The man looked at the game warden for a moment and then said, "Here, I'll show you. It really works." "Okay, I've got to see this!" the game warden replied. The man poured the fish in to the water and stood and waited. After several minutes, the game warden turned to the man and said, "Well?" "Well, what?" the man asked. "When are you going to call them back?" the game warden prompted. "Call who back?" the man asked. "The FISH." Fighting to stifle a grin, the fisherman replied, "What fish?"

Selected business valuation articles from Banister Financial’s Fair ValueTM newsletter, as well as a sampling of others we’ve authored (see Disclaimer at bottom of this web page and Terms and Conditions).
In responding to the original “Breaking Bad” article, the architects, proponents and defenders of calculation engagements repeatedly admit the numerous significant problems with this product, including the fact that calculation engagements are “not sufficient,” “not reliable,” “not believable,” “always incomplete,” do not have “reasonable certainty,” etc.
Calculations of value (a/k/a valuation meth) continue to be used in contexts for which they were never intended (litigation and gift and estate tax), resulting in inadequate and potentially biased indications of value.
Using a fairly novel present value theory, the court's calculation of the trapped-in capital gain in Richmond resulted in an overall discount (including lack of control and lack of marketability) consistent with the 40%+ level seen in other trapped-in gains business valuation cases.
Reductions and changes in income tax rates in the 2017 Tax Cuts and Jobs Act can have a material impact on the values of C corporations as well as pass-through entities such as S corporations, LLCs, and partnerships.
The exclusive focus on the income approach by some attorneys, judges, and business appraisers incorrectly excludes other business valuation methodologies (particularly the market approach) that may indicate a more accurate value.
Calculations of value are attractive due to their lower cost and relative lack of analysis versus a proper business valuation report, however, the end result may be little more than a dart throw as to the value.
This parable illustrates the dangers in business valuation of excluding the guideline transaction method due to its alleged shortcomings in favor of the "more reliable" income approach.
A critical look at the common assumption that inflationary forces automatically result in a passive increase in a company's value over time.
Active/Passive Appreciation: Voodoo or Science?
The use of regression analysis is a powerful tool in supporting the active and passive components in the appreciation of company business value over time.
Regression analysis is a powerful tool with a number of useful applications in business valuation, including the application of proper public company and private transaction multiples and the determination of active and passive components of the change in company value over time.
Professional Practice Buy-Sell Agreements- Do They Equal Fair Market Value?
Careful analysis of entry and exit payments from a professional practice is necessary to determine whether the stated price in a buy-sell agreement represents the fair market value of the practice interest.
North Carolina and federal courts caution that a buy-sell agreement value is not necessarily determinative of the fair market value of an interest in a professional practice.

Trix Worrell immigrated to Britain when he was five. He is a writer, composer and director with a number of awards under his belt: including a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Royal Television Society in 1998. Educated at the National Film and Television School, London. He is best known for creating and writing Desmond’s and What You Lookin’ At?. His other TV writing credits also include: The Cosby Show. He also wrote scripts for For Queen and Country, Meet The Clan with Pam Greer and Porkpie; executive producer, science fiction film, Hardware. He also wrote the script for Puff Daddy when he was the presenter for the MTV Europe Music Awards.
Trix Worrell has been one of the most successful black British television writers of his generation. Born in St. Lucia in 1960, he came to England when he was five. He wrote and directed his first play, School’s Out in 1980, which was staged at the Royal Court Theatre. He became a trainee on the Arts Council’s theatre director’s course at the Albany Theatre in South London, where he had also worked as a teenager. Subsequently a graduate of the National Film and Television School , he was keen to write because, having been an actor, he was less than impressed with the parts that were being written and offered to black actors.
In 1984, Worrell won Channel 4’s ‘Debut New Writers’ competition with his play Mohicans, broadcast on the channel as Just Like Mohicans in 1985. In 1989, he co-authored (with director Martin Stellman , previously the Albany’s director) the feature For Queen and Country , about a disaffected Falklands War veteran. In 1990 he was the executive producer on cult sci-fi film Hardware (d. Richard Stanley).
But it was on the small screen that Worrell was to make the biggest impact, creating one of Channel 4’s most successful home-grown comedies. Although fairly inexperienced as a television comedy writer, Worrell’s proven writing talent, coupled with good timing, led to a brilliant opportunity. On his way to a meeting with producers Humphrey Barclay and Farrukh Dhondy at Channel 4, Worrell was drawn to a black barber’s shop when the bus he was on pulled up outside it. It reminded him of his local barber’s shop in Peckham. Inside, he saw three barbers pressed up against the window ogling at a handful of passing schoolgirls. This chance episode led to the hit Desmond’s (Channel 4, 1989-94), which Worrell went on to write and produce. It ran for five years and seven series, a remarkable achievement both for an ongoing presence of black representation in peak-time television and also for a British-produced sitcom.
Recognising an opportunity to represent black people in more progressive ways, Worrell determined to use Desmond’s , which starred the British-Guyanese actors Carmen Munroe and Norman Beaton , to highlight the diversity within the black British community in terms of both heritage and generation. Unlike so much ‘black representation’ that had preceded it, Desmond’s was not problem-led, managing instead to portray the ups and downs experienced by any ordinary, hard-working family in an affectionate, familiar and comedic way. It proved popular not just in Britain, but also in the Caribbean and America. Importantly, as it developed and secured a loyal fan-base amongst both black and white audiences, Worrell took on a bigger directing role, introducing more serious issues. There was also an increased emphasis on developing black-British production talent; by the fourth series, new writers were introduced, most of them women. In spite of such successes, in 2004 Desmond’s only came 70th in the BBC’s poll to find ‘Britain’s Best TV Sitcom’.
When Desmond’s came to an end in 1994 following Norman Beaton’s untimely death, Worrell decided to build a new sitcom around Augustus ‘Porkpie’ Grant ( Ram John Holder ), one of the series’ most popular characters. Again produced by Barclay and written by Worrell, Porkpie (Channel 4, 1995-96) followed its eponymous hero after a big lottery win, as he wrestled with his new wealth. Despite a largely favourable critical response, Porkpie ended after two series. It had, however, helped to extend the black British presence in the comedy genre in which Worrell had played such a formative and central role.
In the same year that Desmond’s ended, he set up the film and television production company Trijbits Worrell with Paul Trijbits (later a leading player at the UK Film Council ), which spawned a number of projects. Later, Worrell established his own production company, A Box of Trix , focusing on new musical and writing talent.
In 1998, Worrell received a lifetime Achievement Award from the Royal Television Society . In the BFI’s ‘100 Black Screen Icons’ competition in 2007, he was the highest placed Briton in the ‘Technical Icon’ category, with just under ten per cent of the vote.

This article is about the current parliament of Germany. For the governing body of the German Confederation from 1815 to 1866, see Bundesversammlung (German Confederation). For other historical parliaments of Germany, see Reichstag (disambiguation).
The Bundestag (German pronunciation: [ˈbʊndəstaːk], "Federal Diet") is a constitutional and legislative body at the federal level in Germany. For its similar function, it is often described as a lower house of parliament along the lines of the US House of Representatives and the Canadian or the British House of Commons. The German constitution, however, does not define the Bundestag and the Bundesrat as the lower and upper houses of a bicameral legislature.
The Bundestag was established by chapter III of the Basic Law for the Federal Republic of Germany (Constitution) in 1949 as one of the legislative bodies of Germany and thus the historical successor to the earlier Reichstag.
Since 1999 it meets in the Reichstag Building in Berlin. Norbert Lammert is the current President of the Bundestag. Members (Mitglieder des Bundestages) of the Bundestag are usually elected every four years by all adult German citizens in a mixed system of constituency voting and list voting. There are currently 631 seats, however one, belonging to the CDU, remains vacant. However, the election day can be earlier if the Federal Chancellor (Bundeskanzler) loses a vote of no confidence and asks the Federal President (Bundespräsident) to dissolve the Bundestag in order to hold new general elections.
In the 19th century the name Bundestag was the unofficial designation for the assembly of the sovereigns and mayors of the Monarchies and Free Cities which formed the German Confederation (1815–1866). Its seat was in the Free City of Frankfurt on the Main.
With the dissolution of the German Confederation in 1866 and the founding of the German Empire (Deutsches Reich) in 1871, the Reichstag was established as the German parliament in Berlin, which was the capital of the then Kingdom of Prussia (the largest and most influential state in both the Confederation and the empire). Two decades later, the current parliament building was erected. The Reichstag delegates were elected by direct and equal male suffrage (and not the three-class electoral system prevailing in Prussia until 1918). The Reichstag did not participate in the appointment of the Chancellor until the parliamentary reforms of October 1918. After the Revolution of November 1918 and the establishment of the Weimar Constitution, women were given the right to vote for (and serve in) the Reichstag, and the parliament could use the no-confidence vote to force the chancellor or any cabinet member to resign. In March 1933, one month after the Reichstag fire, the then president, Paul von Hindenburg, a retired war hero, gave Adolf Hitler ultimate power through the Decree for the Protection of People and State and the Enabling Act of 1933, although Hitler remained at the post of Federal Government Chancellor (though he called himself the Führer). After this the Reichstag met only rarely, usually at the Krolloper (Kroll Opera House) following the Reichstag fire starting in 1933 to unanimously rubber-stamp the decisions of the government. It last convened on 26 April 1942.
With the new constitution of 1949, the Bundestag was established as the new (West) German parliament. Because West Berlin was not officially under the jurisdiction of the Constitution and because of the Cold War, the Bundestag met in Bonn in several different buildings, including (provisionally) a former water works facility. In addition, owing to the city's legal status, citizens of West Berlin were unable to vote in elections to the Bundestag, and were instead represented by 20 non-voting delegates, indirectly elected by the city's House of Representatives.
The Bundeshaus in Bonn is the former Parliament Building of Germany. The sessions of the German Bundestag were held there from 1949 until its move to Berlin in 1999. Today it houses the International Congress Centre Bundeshaus Bonn and in the north areas the branch office of the Bundesrat ("Federal Council", the Upper House of the German Federal Parliament representing the Länder, i.e. the federated States). The southern areas became part of German offices for the United Nations in 2008.
The German Unity Flag is a national memorial to German Reunification that was raised on 3 October 1990. It waves in front of the Reichstag building in Berlin, seat of the Bundestag.
The former Reichstag building housed a history exhibition (Fragen an die deutsche Geschichte) and served occasionally as a conference center. The Reichstag building was also occasionally used as a venue for sittings of the Bundestag and its committees and the Bundesversammlung (Federal Assembly), the body which elects the German Federal President. However, the Soviets harshly protested against the use of the Reichstag building by institutions of the Federal Republic of Germany and tried to disturb the sittings by flying supersonic jets close to the building.
Since 1999, the German parliament has again assembled in Berlin in its original Reichstag building, which was built in 1888 based on the plans of German architect Paul Wallot and underwent a significant renovation under the lead of British architect Sir Norman Foster. Parliamentary committees and subcommittees, public hearings and faction meetings take place in three auxiliary buildings, which surround the Reichstag building: the Jakob-Kaiser-Haus, Paul-Löbe-Haus and Marie-Elisabeth-Lüders-Haus.
In 2005, a small aircraft crashed close to the German parliament. It was then decided to ban private air traffic over Central Berlin.
Together with the Bundesrat, the Bundestag is the legislative branch of the German political system.
Although most legislation is initiated by the executive branch, the Bundestag considers the legislative function its most important responsibility, concentrating much of its energy on assessing and amending the government's legislative program. The committees (see below) play a prominent role in this process. Plenary sessions provide a forum for members to engage in public debate on legislative issues before them, but they tend to be well attended only when significant legislation is being considered.
The Bundestag members are the only federal officials directly elected by the public; the Bundestag in turn elects the Chancellor and, in addition, exercises oversight of the executive branch on issues of both substantive policy and routine administration. This check on executive power can be employed through binding legislation, public debates on government policy, investigations, and direct questioning of the chancellor or cabinet officials. For example, the Bundestag can conduct a question hour (Fragestunde), in which a government representative responds to a previously submitted written question from a member. Members can ask related questions during the question hour. The questions can concern anything from a major policy issue to a specific constituent's problem. Use of the question hour has increased markedly over the past forty years, with more than 20,000 questions being posed during the 1987-90 term. Understandably, the opposition parties are active in exercising the parliamentary right to scrutinize government actions.
Constituent service does also take place in the form of the Petition Committee. In 2004, the Petition Committee received over 18,000 complaints from citizens and was able to negotiate a mutually satisfactory solution to more than half of them. In 2005, as a pilot of the potential of internet petitions, a version of e-Petitioner was produced for the Bundestag. This was a collaborative project involving The Scottish Parliament, International Teledemocracy Centre and the Bundestag ‘Online Services Department’. The system was formally launched on 1 September 2005, and in 2008 the Bundestag moved to a new system based on its evaluation.
All candidates must be at least eighteen years old; there are no term limits. The election uses the MMP electoral system. In addition, the Bundestag has a minimum threshold of either 5% of the national party vote or three (directly elected) constituency representatives for a party to gain additional representation through the system of proportional representation.
Thus, small minority parties cannot easily enter the Bundestag and prevent the formation of stable majority governments as they could under the Weimar constitution. Since 1961, only two new parties (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen and PDS/The Left) have entered the Bundestag.
The most recent election, the German federal election, 2013, was held on 22 September 2013.
Half of the Members of the Bundestag are elected directly from 299 constituencies (first-past-the-post system), the other half are elected from the parties’ Land lists in such a way as to achieve proportional representation for the total Bundestag (if possible).
Accordingly, each voter has two votes in the elections to the Bundestag. The first vote, allowing voters to elect their local representatives to the Bundestag, decides which candidates are sent to Parliament from the constituencies.
The second vote is cast for a party list; it determines the relative strengths of the parties represented in the Bundestag.
At least 598 Members of the Bundestag are elected in this way. Parties that gain more than 5% of the second votes or win at least 3 direct mandates are allocated seats in the Bundestag in proportion to the number of votes it has received (d'Hondt method until 1987, largest remainder method until the 2005 election, now Sainte-Laguë method).
In addition to this, there are certain circumstances in which some candidates win what are known as overhang seats when the seats are being distributed. If a party has gained more direct mandates in a Land than it is entitled to according to the results of the second vote, it does not forfeit these mandates because all directly elected candidates are guaranteed a seat in the Bundestag.
1 2 The Christian Democratic Union and the Christian Social Union of Bavaria call themselves sister parties. They do not compete against each other in the same geographical regions and they form one group within the Bundestag.
Initial distribution of seats in the 17th Bundestag.
See the List of Bundestag Members for lists of changes and current members.
The most important organisational structures within the Bundestag are parliamentary groups (Fraktionen; sing. Fraktion), which are formed by political parties represented in the chamber which incorporate more than 5% of the Bundestag legislators; CDU and CSU have always formed a single united Fraktion. The size of a party's Fraktion determines the extent of its representation on legislative committees, the time slots allotted for speaking, the number of committee chairs it can hold, and its representation in executive bodies of the Bundestag. The Fraktionen, not the members, receive the bulk of government funding for legislative and administrative activities.
The leadership of each Fraktion consists of a parliamentary party leader, several deputy leaders, and an executive committee. The leadership's major responsibilities are to represent the Fraktion, enforce party discipline, and orchestrate the party's parliamentary activities. The members of each Fraktion are distributed among working groups focused on specific policy-related topics such as social policy, economics, and foreign policy. The Fraktion meets every Tuesday afternoon in the weeks in which the Bundestag is in session to consider legislation before the Bundestag and formulate the party's position on it.
Parties which do not fulfill the criterion for being a Fraktion but have at least three seats by direct elections (i.e. which have at least three MPs representing a certain electoral district) in the Bundestag can be granted the status of a group of the Bundestag. This applied to the Party of Democratic Socialism (PDS) from 1990-1998. This status entails some privileges which are in general less than those of a Fraktion. In the current Bundestag, there are no such groups (the PDS had only two MPs in parliament until 2005 and could thus not even considered a group anymore; the party has now returned to the Bundestag with full Fraktion status).
The Bundestag's executive bodies include the Council of Elders and the Presidium. The council consists of the Bundestag leadership, together with the most senior representatives of each fraktion, with the number of these representatives tied to the strength of the Parliamentary groups in the chamber. The council is the coordination hub, determining the daily legislative agenda and assigning committee chairpersons based on Parliamentary group representation. The council also serves as an important forum for interparty negotiations on specific legislation and procedural issues. The Presidium is responsible for the routine administration of the Bundestag, including its clerical and research activities. It consists of the chamber's president (usually elected from the largest fraktion) and vice presidents (one from each fraktion).
Most of the legislative work in the Bundestag is the product of standing committees, which exist largely unchanged throughout one legislative period. The number of committees approximates the number of federal ministries, and the titles of each are roughly similar (e.g., defense, agriculture, and labor). There are, as of the current eighteenth Bundestag, 23 standing committees. The distribution of committee chairs and the membership of each committee reflect the relative strength of the various Parliamentary groups in the chamber. In the current eighteenth Bundestag, the CDU/CSU chaired twelve committees, the SPD seven, the The Left (Die Linke) two, and the environmentalist party, the Greens (Bündnis 90/Die Grünen), two. Members of the opposition party can chair a significant number of standing committees (e.g. The budget committee is always chaired by the biggest opposition party). These committees have either a small staff or no staff at all.
As is the case with some other parliaments, the Bundestag is subject to the principle of discontinuation, meaning that a newly elect Bundestag is legally regarded to be a body and entity completely different from the previous Bundestag. This leads to the result, that any motion, application or action submitted to the previous Bundestag, e.g. a bill referred to the Bundestag by the Federal Government, is regarded as void by non-decision (German terminology: "Die Sache fällt der Diskontinuität anheim"). Thus any bill that has not been decided upon by the beginning of the new electoral period must be brought up by the government again, if it aims to uphold the motion, this procedure in effect delaying the passage of the bill. Furthermore, any newly elected Bundestag will have to freshly decide on the rules of procedure (Geschäftsordnung), which is done by a formal decision of taking over such rules from the preceding Bundestag by reference.
Any Bundestag is considered dissolved only once a newly elected Bundestag has actually gathered in order to constitute itself (Article 39 sec. 1 sentence 2 of the Basic Law), which has to happen within 30 days of its election (Article 39 sec. 2 of the Basic Law). Thus, it may happen (and has happened) that the old Bundestag gathers and makes decisions even after the election of a new Bundestag that has not gathered in order to constitute itself. For example, elections to the 16th Bundestag took place on 18 September 2005, but the 15th Bundestag still convened after election day to make some decisions on German military engagement abroad, and was entitled to do so, as the newly elected 16th Bundestag did not convene for the first time until 18 October 2005.

Does anyone know if there are any regulations or guidelines on the times of when you can make outbound calls?
Are there any restrictions of calling on Sundays and Bank Holidays?
Also do the DMA have any guidelines on this?
Check out the DMA Direct Marketing Code of Practice, section 21.41.
Basically they advise (paraphrasing) - no calling between 9pm and 8am Monday to Friday, and 9pm to 9am Saturday to Sunday, unless customer have given specific permission to be contacted outside of those hours. However they also advise that many customers may object to being called on Sundays on Bank Holidays.
From my experience with outbound dialler clients, most limit calling on Sundays to "reasonable" hours of 10am to 4pm, if they dial at all (most dont).

"Below the poverty line" was how Janina described the earlier years of her life. Born in a family of survivors, she turned those circumstances into her advantage and built herself a better life.
Before she stepped into college, she already had a forte in doing business. Armed with competitiveness and entrepreneurship, she and her family ventured on selling different food such as sweet corn and homemade ice cream sticks. Janina’s background in trade urged her to take a course in business administration, so she can move on to a bigger business.
She found herself enrolling at STI College - Novaliches where she got in to the school's scholarship program. Despite the good education her school provided her, she knew better to rely on her diligence more than anything.
Janina was the President of the Entrepreneurs Society, a school organization dedicated to STIers with aspirations in the business industry. Valuing leadership and mutual support among the members, she shares that "before you become a good leader, you have to be a good follower." It was with this mantra that led her to do better in her duties as a leader which in turn developed her assertive character. Her active participation in extra-curricular activities and the hardwork she poured in her studies were rewarded with the Student of the Year Award 2011 for North Luzon, recognizing her as one of the best STIers in the country.
After finally graduating in 2011, she started her career in the business world as a Sales Consultant at Rex Printing Company, Inc. before she worked for STI Head Office as a Content Developer. Not long after, she continued on with her journey and started working at SM Supermalls as a Leasing Supervisor at a young age of 23, an event that opened a whole new chapter in her life, one of the things she remains grateful for.
"We won’t know what God has in store for us until we try. We came from a very poor family, but it didn’t stop us from finishing school," says Janina."I’m dreaming of becoming a manager someday, pero hindi ko iniisip na magiging supervisor ako agad in a matter of two years. It was a blessing from God to get where I am right now, at talagang ginamit niya ang STI para i-develop ako, at para i-develop yung potentials ko."
Janina is presently enjoying the real meaning of success; a better life. Looking back to where she came from, Janina is confident to say that she has reached further than she expected because she always dreams big. She endured, persevered, and held on to her strong faith that pushed her to go on in fulfilling the big plans she has for herself and her family. Now, that she is in a better place from where she started, Janina strives to push further and move higher. Indeed, Janina is living proof that nothing is impossible when it comes to reaching one's dreams, no matter how long it takes to get there, if you just dream big.

A 70-year-old man has been bashed in a late night attack at his home in Horowhenua.
Staunch environmentalist John Andrews says he may have been a target as he had highlighted pollution issues from the Shannon Sewage Treatment Plant into the Otāuru River.
Battered and bruised, Corny Andrews is still recovering from an assault right on his doorstep.
“I saw two men in the glooms and said what’s going on? What are you up to? I thought they might be trying to tahae my van, and then I heard someone behind me and then boom and I ended up down there,” says victim, Mr Andrews.
The environmentalist had been at the Mangaore Stream earlier in the day recording this footage he says shows toilet paper in the water from the Shannon Waste Water Treatment plant.
“We had had an altercation with the Regional Council earlier in the day out there and I don't know if theres any connection and I would only be speculating if there was, but this fight has been going on for years,” says Andrews.
In a statement to Te Kāea, the Horowhenua District Council says Mr Andrews was known to the council and they dispute the video, claiming it's a distortion of facts.
Corny says he has filed the assault incident with the police, and is hoping trouble won't find its way back to his home.

PRAGUE (Reuters) - The Czech cyber watchdog warned network operators on Monday against using software or hardware made by Chinese telecom equipment suppliers Huawei and ZTE <000063.SZ>, saying they posed a security threat.
Huawei, the world's biggest producer of telecoms equipment, faces intense scrutiny in the West over its ties to the Chinese government and concerns its equipment could be used by Beijing for spying. The company has repeatedly denied the allegations.
"China's laws ... require private companies residing in China to cooperate with intelligence services, therefore introducing them into the key state systems might present a threat," Dusan Navratil, director of the Czech National Cyber and Information Security Agency (NCISA), said in a statement.
System administrators in critical information infrastructure, whether in the state or private sector, should take "adequate measures" against the threat, Navratil said.
The Czech government agency added that its warning notice was based on its findings and on those of allies.
In response, a Huawei spokesman said: "We categorically deny any suggestion that we pose a threat to national security. We call for NCISA to provide evidence instead of tarnishing Huawei's reputation without any proof."
Cyber security had always been Huawei's top priority and Huawei was a trusted partner for all the main telecom carriers in Czech Republic, he said.
"There are no laws or regulations in China to compel Huawei, or any other company, to install 'mandatory back doors'," he said, a reference to U.S. warnings that Huawei's network gear could contain 'back doors' that would allow Chinese spies to hack into critical network infrastructure.
"Huawei has never received any such request from any government and we would never agree to it," the spokesman said.
A call to ZTE's office in London was not answered.
Some operators have tested 5G in some locations in the Czech Republic, while the investment group PPF, which owns the leading infrastructure provider, CETIN, has signed a memorandum of understanding with Huawei to cooperate on 5G. An auction of frequencies for the 5G transmission is planned for 2019.
U.S. government officials have been pressuring Deutsche Telekom , the majority owner of T-Mobile US , to stop using Huawei equipment, sources say.
Japan plans to ban government purchases of equipment from Huawei and ZTE to beef up its defenses against intelligence leaks and cyber attacks, sources told Reuters this month.
New Zealand's intelligence agency last month rejected a telecoms provider's request to use Huawei 5G equipment and Australia has banned Huawei from supplying 5G equipment. Both countries cited national security concerns.
The arrest of a top Huawei executive in Vancouver at the request of U.S. authorities on Dec. 1 has sparked a diplomatic dispute. Meng Wanzhou, Huawei's chief financial officer and the daughter of its founder, faces U.S. allegations that she misled multinational banks about Iran-linked transactions, putting the banks at risk of violating U.S. sanctions.

But when arrow points meet head-on, how could it be a matter of skill.
Continuing to discuss effort and effortlessness, I like to use this example from the Jewel Mirror Samadhi.
Japanese archery is considered an Art, a way of life, and a spiritual practice. The archers study for many years. I suppose we could call that great effort. Practicing over and over. Through personal effort, through practicing, they can fairly easily learn to hit the target at a hundred paces. Anyone can do that, if they practice very hard.
But for two archers to aim at the sky, and for the arrows to meet head-on, that is something that is way beyond skill. It is beyond the mind of discrimination. It is beyond the body of practice. I think this might be congruent with the idea of forgetting the self. In letting go of “trying”, in letting go of any intellectual idea of how archery should be done, these archers are simply totally, wholeheartedly merged with their activity. The years of practice in a very easy way, in a relaxed way, comes through. The archer, the arrow, the other archer are all one movement and one whole. Subject and object merged. This is what one might call effortless effort.
The famous Zen example for developing the practice of renunciation is pulling a bow, practicing archery. One of the first books I read about Zen Buddhism was Zen in the Art of Archery, by the German writer Eugen Herrigel. His archery teacher explained that you take the bow, pull the bowstring back, and just hold it. This is like normal human life: you’re holding on to something and it’s a strain. His teacher told him to hold the string until it was released, but not to release it.
Herrigel held the bow for many hours of practice, and he got really tired of holding it – just like we get tired of holding on to body and mind. Then he got the idea that he could let go of the string without letting go of it by just holding it half as tightly. So he held it half as tightly, and half as tightly again, and kept halving his grip until, finally, the string went without him letting it go. He had figured out a way to let it go while he was still holding on.
The teacher saw his clever trick and kicked him out of the school. Herrigel begged for years to come back, until finally the teacher agreed. He went back to the practice of pulling the string and just holding it. No more tricks. He just patiently experienced the suffering of being a human who thinks he’s holding something. One day the string released, and it was as if it passed right through his fingers, just as his teacher had described it. He didn’t let go of the string: it went.
The string is already released, but we don’t generally understand that. You have to pull the string as a metaphor for your delusion until you understand that the string is already released. You have to sit with your life and feel how you hold it, and be willing for the release to happen. It will happen spontaneously, because it’s already so.
This is an aspiration for my practice — that I can be open and relaxed and the years of practice will just come through. In the Fukanzazengi, it says that we should look for a teacher that is beyond effort. What does that mean? I think that means that the goal and the cause have merged, that our minds are calm enough to receive the moment as it is, and our reaction of generosity, patience, acceptance, integrity are so practiced that they have become our norm.
It is no longer a strain to receive the moment. We no longer have to try to practice. We can surrender to the life force of the moment and let it bloom.

Moving to the United States? Don’t Forget to Tax Plan Pre-Immigration!
Foreigners relocating to the U.S. sometimes forget to consider the tax implications of moving to the United States. Failure to plan before moving to the U.S. can lead to costly tax results and compliance issues!
Every year countless foreigners are shocked to learn that they became U.S. tax residents because of their days of U.S. presence and therefore must report worldwide sources of income and assets (Undeclared Foreign Accounts? Here are your options). If you do not receive the right advice in time you may discover that failure to correctly report global income and assets can result in severe penalties and interest owed. This costly mistake is avoidable if you properly tax plan before relocating to the U.S.
With advanced planning, foreigners can spend considerable time in the United States on non-immigrant visas and avoid U.S. worldwide taxation and reporting. The key is to ensure the foreigner is classified as a non-U.S. tax resident by not meeting the requirements of the substantial presence test (“SPT”) every year. The SPT is a measure applied over a three year look back period using a weighted average. If the weighted number of days the individual was physically present during the three year period remains below the minimum threshold, the foreigner should remain a non-U.S. tax resident subject to tax only on U.S. source income.
Certain days of U.S. physical presence may be exempt from the calculation. For instance, days you are unable to leave the U.S. due to a medical condition arising while in the U.S are exempt. Another example is a student temporarily present in the U.S. under a F1 student visa, assuming the foreign student remains in compliance with the visa requirements. Even if you are unable to accomplish tax exempt status, a foreign individual can still be re-classified as a non-U.S. income tax resident by utilizing exceptions such as the closer connection exception (“CCE”) or invoking the tie-breaker rules (“TBR”) of a U.S. tax treaty.
If you are in the United States on a non-immigrant visa and cannot avoid U.S. income tax residency treatment than you should consider pre-immigration tax planning strategies to minimize worldwide taxation and obligations.
U.S. permanent residents (green card holders) are automatically treated as U.S. income tax residents from the moment they arrive in the United States. Although they cannot avoid U.S. worldwide basis income taxation and reporting, they can take steps to restructure their international (non-U.S.) affairs before arriving to the United States without tax consequences.
The best time to implement tax planning strategies is prior to becoming a U.S. income tax resident. Once the foreign individual becomes a U.S. income tax resident, any steps taken to re-arrange his offshore holdings may trigger U.S. income taxation. In contrast, the U.S. should not tax foreign source income and gains realized offshore while the individual remains a non-U.S. income tax resident.
Although, pre-immigration tax planning generally will maximize a foreigner’s tax savings post U.S. relocation, other tax planning strategies exist to minimize U.S. taxes and compliance after becoming a U.S. income tax resident.
Next month I will discuss the U.S. transfer (gift and estate) tax implication of moving to the U.S., and the benefits of pre-immigration tax planning strategies aimed to minimize or eliminate U.S. transfer taxes.
If you are planning to move to the U.S., the tax attorneys at Barbosa Legal can advise you on custom pre-immigration tax planning strategies aimed to preserve your wealth and minimize U.S. income taxes post U.S. relocation, while ensuring compliance of all U.S. tax filing and reporting obligations.
