David Magor OBE - Chief Executive, Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation. Finishing the final panel discussion was with: Brian McClure â Department of Finance & Personnel, Martin McTague â FSB and David Magor â IRRV. Seamus McKee, Chairperson of the conference made some concluding remarks before breaking for lunch. Business Rates Conference 2016, which was part of the Chambré Public Affairs âEye on the Hillâ series of policy events, provided participants with a unique insight into an important programme of reform. The conference offered context and analysis from the Minister, senior officials, sector leaders and noted experts, the conference is perfectly timed to inform responses to the consultation, which closes a fortnight later. On 26 October 2015, Finance Minister Arlene Foster launched a public consultation on a wide-ranging Review of Northern Ireland's Non-Domestic Rating System. The consultation asks questions that touch upon every sector in Northern Ireland, giving respondents the chance to provide imaginative suggestions to improve how revenue is raised locally. Key questions include whether the 100% exemption for charities should be maintained, and how the system could be changed to better suit the demands of local business. Because of the Departmentâs willingness to engage creatively with the business community and other stakeholders, this consultation represents a rare opportunity to influence major change. Business rating is a vital form of taxation, raising some £592m of revenue for regional and local Government in Northern Ireland. However, it is also a significant expense for the businesses that are the lifeblood of the local economy, and can act as a particular disincentive to smaller enterprises who want to invest and expand. At the other end of the spectrum, charities in Northern Ireland benefit significantly from the current rating system, enjoying a 100% rates exemption.
Can technology help prevent and respond to gender-based violence (GBV), particularly in low- and middle-income countries? Increasingly, cell phones, cameras, crowd-sourcing, and mobile apps are being used in innovative ways to address GBV, but questions surrounding ethics, effectiveness, and practicality remain. The Interagency Gender Working Group, U. S. Agency for International Development, Woodrow Wilson Center, CARE, and Population Reference Bureau will host a panel discussion exploring the ethics around new technologies to combat GBV; how effective they are; and what some of the more practical and actionable ways forward might be.

Another major European introduction for 1982 was the all-new 700 series from Volvo. Designed to replace the 200 series (itself derived from the 100 series of 1966), the 700 was produced alongside for 12 years. The two models are very close in exterior dimension.
The 700 underwent minor exterior changes to become the 900 series in 1991, notably a smoother front end treatment and revised rear treatment on the sedan. The sedan also received an independent rear suspension, with the estate car retaining a live rear axle. The 900 series was futher revised and named the S90/V90 in 1997 in line with Volvo's new naming convention. The model finally went out of production in 1998. The sedan models were subsequently replaced by the front-wheel-drive Volvo S80.
The engine line up included 4-cylinder, 4-cylinder turbocharged (one of the first major turbocharged passenger car ranges) and carryover vee-six cylinder engines shared with PSA and Renault. The 900 series later replaced the V6 with an inline six developed as part of a modular engine design of inline 4, 5 and 6-cylinder engines.
At launch the car was strongly criticised for its overtly rectilinear styling. The car matched the style that was popular in North America at the time, including a near vertical rear window. Unfortunately for Volvo this was the model year introduction of a key competitor, the Audi 100, which was notably aerodynamic in form.
This styling theme does have its advantages, with large windows and good visibility. It also provides ample space as an estate car. The model was popular with middle-class families with children, dogs etc, and are now considered 'Lifestyle' families.
Volvo's success in this market segment was later eroded by SUV and 'crossover' vehicles which emphasised the adventure part of the lifestyle image without being any more practical as a family car. Volvo went on to launch a vehicle in the crossover segment in place of the 900 wagon, the XC90. This model was very well recieved for its family practicality relative to other vehicles in the luxury crossover segment.
This miniland scale model has been created using Lego Digital Designer for Flickr LUGNuts 43rd build challenge - 'Plus or Mius Ten' - celebraing vehilces produced ten years before or after the birth year of the modeller. In this case 1982.
Armacham TC (Technology Corporation) F-03 "Jackal" Enhanced Power Armour
--------------------
The F-03 Jackal is an Enhanced Power Armour suit designed by Armacham Technology Corporation for the UT armoured cores by contract in 2029.
Original plans for this machine began around 2025, after Armacham's sister company, Altair Industries, released their revolutionary MAT Armoured Biped.
www.flickr.com/photos/64024690@N02/7666130656/in/photostr...
The F-03 is powered by hydrogen fuel cells in a heavily armoured section on the rear. Piloted by one man sitting in the shielded cockpit section; information, video feed (regular and infrared) is relayed to him via cameras on the outside to large screens on the inside.
It features three main weapons.
The right "arm" boasts a GShG S550-G1 large tri-barreled gatling gun based off of the "Molniya". It fires high calibre explosive rounds, mainly used against infantry targets, or armour piercing rounds, used for armoured targets, depending on the users choice. Ammo can be quickly switched in the heat of battle with a simple flick of a switch. It is also very effective against low flying aircraft.
The left "arm" boasts a single 90mm coilgun, very similar in nature and practicality to the MAT's railgun. "The coilgun is designed to fire specially high explosive LINAC (linear accelerator) rounds, which coat themselves in the plasma produced by the railgun's firing. This plasma can simply melt through armor and, theoretically, could help to overload energy shielding systems." The LINAC rounds are made of tungsten and have an long armour piercing shape. The magazine holds 30 of these LINAC rounds and is easily reloaded by an infantryman.
Last but not least, it features a missile launching system mounted on top of it. Equipped with 10 Tupovlev Tu-2M Multipurpose Guided Missiles, these missiles are some of the most advanced, fastest, and powerful ones on the market. Guided by infrared or user controlled via EMP-proof wireless camera. It can be used on air targets or ground units.
This machine is powerful enough to destroy even the heaviest of tanks.

I don't ever particularly feel the urge to own a Mercedes-Benz in real life but I can't deny they do produce some very sexy and classy looking cars, particularly further up their pecking order. Their GT 63 S combines the elegance of swoopy coupe styling with the practicality of four doors and which Matchbox have captured so beautifully with their own miniature replica. Needless to say its one of the castings from Case B most likely to come with me in large quantities....
Mint and boxed.

Dr. Michael Bröning has presented his book and moderated the discussion, The Politics of Change in Palestine: State-Building and Non-Violent Resistance.
“The Politics of Change in Palestine” discusses these changes. The book contradicts the prevalent myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. The book highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These include the re-invention of Hamas, reforms within the Fatah movement, state-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority and the surge of non-violent resistance.

Amateur (or maybe less so) girls in some great high heels. I suspect that amateur girls wear heels for fashion, at the behest of their partner, or because they love wearing them. Much cooler than paid models who are probably wearing heels because they're getting paid to do it.
The vague element of increased practicality of heels that are slightly thicker than stilettos is a mirage, but makes this style of heel possibly cooler than a stiletto. :)

Most of the shots were taken at Bolton Street Railway Station because of the poor weather conditions for photography. We had snow, sleet, rain, fog and eventually the sun came out in the afternoon.
The Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway (L&YR) Class 27 is a class of 0-6-0 steam locomotive designed for freight work.
They were designed by John Aspinall and 484 were built between 1889 - 1918 at Horwich works. The Class 27 was the standard goods engine of the Lancashire & Yorkshire Railway. Aspinall opted for the two cylinder format with a non superheated round top boiler. David Joy's configuration of valve gear was employed. By the time of Aspinall's departure from the L&YR in 1899 over 400 of these simple but powerful engines had been built. More were built under his successor Henry Hoy and George Hughes, albeit with some modifications. By 1918 the class totalled 484.
It was under Hughes that the class became the subject of early experiments in superheating. This was the process of increasing the temperature of the steam produced in the boiler so the minimum of energy was lost. After many months of trails a further 20 superheated engines were authorised to be built and the first of these superheated class 27's emerged from Horwich Works in 1909. The superheated 27's retained the boiler pressure of the originals (180 psi). This first batch had round topped boilers but in 1912 a second batch of 20 was constructed with Belpaire fireboxes.
Although the class was augmented by a further 60 engines between 1900 and 1909 with another ten added in 1917-18. The final five built reverted entirely to the original 1889 specification. It is a tribute to the soundness usefulness and simple practicality of Aspinall's design that some 300 of the class passed into the hands of the LMS and around 50 were still in British Railways service as late as the summer of 1960.
In 1969, British Leyland intended to upgrade the Mini to try and keep the style with the times, calling in once again Sir Alec Issigonis to design a compact and practical little car of the same lines. The idea was to give the car a front engine with front wheel drive and devote as much of the car's platform to passenger and luggage capacity. The car was also intended to be a hatchback for more practicality and would enter sales 5% cheaper than the current Mini of 1959.
The car was launched with a more angular design to fit the times, and powered by a new 9X 850cc engine and transmission. Hydrolastic suspension was considered, but changed instead to a more conventional front suspension with vertical struts and independent rear suspension with torsion bars.
The car, although providing more space internally than the original Mini, was unfortunately not forwarded by the British Leyland management, and thus only resulted in a single prototype. Unbeknownst to British Leyland, the car could have been a real winner, but instead the lucrative family hatchback market was swept out from underneath them by the likes of FIAT and Volkswagen.

Obol, Neapolis 320-300, AR 0.66 g. Head of Mars r., wearing Corinthian helmet; behind, oak spray (?). Rev. Head of horse r.; behind, corn ear and before, ROMANO downwards. Fiorelli Annali 1846, p. 23 and pl. I, fig, 29. Garrucci pl. 77, 18. Bahrfeldt RN 1900, pp. 33-34, 31 and pl. 26, 1 (possibly this obverse die). Sydenham 2. Crawford 13/2. Historia Numorum Italy 267.
Of the highest rarity, only the third specimen known. An issue of great fascination and importance missing in all the major collections. Toned and good very fine.
This is the first time that this extremely rare coin has appeared in a public auction since 1869 when the San Giorgio collection piece was offered in an auction in Paris. The image of a second specimen was published by Bahrfeldt in RIN 1900. In the same article the great scholar reports that such coin was offered to Imhoof-Blumer by Rollin & Feuardent in Paris, but that he had to pass on it due to the very high price requested. We have decided to share Rutter’s opinion who in Historia Numorum Italy attributes these coins to the Naples mint contrary to Crawford who assigns them to the mint of Metapontum. That said however, we have decided to refer to the coin as an obol and not as a litra as suggested by both Rutter and Crawford. The reasons for this decision are very simple: we obviously agree that this coin belongs to Crawford’s series 13, which was intended for trades with Magna Grecia. On this basis, it seems only logical that we refer to it as an obol and not a litra. Its weight and its general appearance are consistent with coaeval obols of Camapianian mints such as: Fistelia, Peripoloi Pitanai and Allifae, which most probably were circulating along with this coin. Obviously the production of such a small denomination did not have any commercial purpose, but, as my father rightly argued in Numismatica Sottovoce, the Romans would never overlook practicality or propaganda and for these reasons one can assume that they decided to produce, together with the didrachm, also this nominal to which the local population of Campania and South Italy in general were accustomed.

Dr. Michael Bröning has presented his book and moderated the discussion, The Politics of Change in Palestine: State-Building and Non-Violent Resistance.
“The Politics of Change in Palestine” discusses these changes. The book contradicts the prevalent myth that incompetent, corrupt, and uncompromising Palestinian decision-makers are responsible for the lasting stalemate in the Middle-East Peace Process. The book highlights recent political developments in Palestine that fundamentally redefine important parameters of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These include the re-invention of Hamas, reforms within the Fatah movement, state-building efforts of the Palestinian Authority and the surge of non-violent resistance.

After a short break the discussion continued with A system that it is fit for purpose: the practicalities involved: Brian McClure â Head of Rating Policy Division, Department of Finance & Personnel, Funding local services: a new system for securing businesses contributions: Martin McTague â Chairman, Local Government Committee, Federation of Small Businesses, Getting it right: the UK and international perspective:
David Magor OBE - Chief Executive, Institute of Revenues, Rating and Valuation. Finishing the final panel discussion was with: Brian McClure â Department of Finance & Personnel, Martin McTague â FSB and David Magor â IRRV. Seamus McKee, Chairperson of the conference made some concluding remarks before breaking for lunch. Business Rates Conference 2016, which was part of the Chambré Public Affairs âEye on the Hillâ series of policy events, provided participants with a unique insight into an important programme of reform. The conference offered context and analysis from the Minister, senior officials, sector leaders and noted experts, the conference is perfectly timed to inform responses to the consultation, which closes a fortnight later. On 26 October 2015, Finance Minister Arlene Foster launched a public consultation on a wide-ranging Review of Northern Ireland's Non-Domestic Rating System. The consultation asks questions that touch upon every sector in Northern Ireland, giving respondents the chance to provide imaginative suggestions to improve how revenue is raised locally. Key questions include whether the 100% exemption for charities should be maintained, and how the system could be changed to better suit the demands of local business. Because of the Departmentâs willingness to engage creatively with the business community and other stakeholders, this consultation represents a rare opportunity to influence major change. Business rating is a vital form of taxation, raising some £592m of revenue for regional and local Government in Northern Ireland. However, it is also a significant expense for the businesses that are the lifeblood of the local economy, and can act as a particular disincentive to smaller enterprises who want to invest and expand. At the other end of the spectrum, charities in Northern Ireland benefit significantly from the current rating system, enjoying a 100% rates exemption.

The Citroën Revolte is a hybrid compact city concept car that was presented by Citroën at the 2009 Frankfurt Motor Show.
The Revolte is based on the historical Citroën 2CV.[2] The concept car shows the changes that have been happening in terms of the role small cars and that style and elegance have become as important as economy and practicality.
The Revolte concept features Citroën’s bold design, which has become part of its history bringing a new contemporary approach to its compact city cars.
The Revolte is 3.68m long, 1.73m wide and 1.35m tall. With well defined wheel arches, curving bonnet, forceful lines and sculpted sides, matching the roof line, the Revolte has a sleek and elegant profile, similar to that of the Citroen Survolt, a concept hybrid supercar still under development by Citroen.

Deer Lodge, Montana:
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia:
The Rialto Theater in Deer Lodge, Montana was built in 1921 with 720 seats. The Beaux Arts style theater featured extensive painted murals, artistic plaster designs, and a painted stage backgrounds. The distinctive exterior used white terra cotta and red roof tiles.
The theatre was purchased in 1995 for $60,000 by a non-profit community organization that then began restoring and operating the theatre.
The Rialto was gutted by a fire on November 4, 2006 that destroyed the stage, auditorium and balcony. Rebuilding costs were originally estimated in the 6 to 8 million dollar range. The Deer Lodge community immediately began undertaking the endeavor, and the theatre was officially reopened in May 2012.
The rebuild was long and sustained and focused on historical reproduction, affordability, and practicality. The general contractor chosen, Martel Construction, was selected because of their willingness to work with volunteer labor and a long time frame.
Final costs were approximately 3.4 million dollars.
People may well bemoan the loss of the longer format county matches, superseded as they have been over the years by a schedule of one-day, twenty-twenty and hundred ball affairs. Many cite the changing habits of a nation, the economy and 'life-work' balance. I think though there was another reason. Those seats!
There were, I remember, professional spectators who turned up with wicker boxes with enough food and drink to have survived a three-week game, and a provisions list which would include cushions and blow-ups. A faithful retainer to assemble it all and drive them home afterwards. But for the average school-boy, propelled through the turnstiles from the 62 buses on the Bristol Road, comfort had to be balanced by practicality, and by what could be squeezed into one's hold all, A drink, some sandwiches, Playfair’s 'Cricket Monthly', a transistor radio (with earpiece), a pair of binoculars and a mac, left little room for anything else to deaden the pain. Ah, happy days.
SET 2 – HLT Remodel: 4-20-2023
Some things don’t change: at the back of the music, movies, and books “department” is the store’s selection of licensed pop culture products, just like before. Of course, the only difference is that now it’s located along the rear wall of the store, and is way more condensed than it was over in the front left corner, where it had ample room to space out. In all honesty, I’m not certain that the selection was cut very much if at all, so I’ll give Target some props there; however – and this is the unfortunate part – sticking the same (or similar) amount of stuff in a much smaller space makes it (from a practicality standpoint) harder to browse, and (from a presentation standpoint) much more crowded, and cluttered/junky, to look at (especially when stuff isn’t put back in its proper place – which becomes quite common when something is harder to browse and harder to keep neat as a result!)

Located at number 4. Murray Street, Colac's former post office is in a prime location at the gateway into the historical centre of the town.
Built in 1876 by the Public Works Department, it was extended in 1888 to reflect the Victorian Free Classical building that is seen today. It features a classical colonnade entrance, windows with attenuated vertical proportions, aedicules using prominent pillar detailing and a classically inspired clock over the entranceway.
The building has seen many changes over the years, as has its usage. The Colac telephone exchange commenced on the premises in 1904 with twenty-five subscribers.
Times have changed in Twentieth Century Colac, and the post office with a capacious dwelling for the postmaster became too large for the practicalities of the modern day business that Australia Post is, and they relocated to smaller, more modern and more central promises. Now the former Colac post office has found new life as a Chinese restaurant. However, because it is protected by the National Heritage Committee, no exterior advertising is permitted to be attached to the classical facade, which is why there are discreet signs in the upper floor windows and dainty Chinese lanterns hanging from the colonnade's arches. At night the clock, which still keeps good time, is illuminated by a violet coloured neon light that encircles the face.
Located approximately 150 kilometres to the south-west of Melbourne, past Geelong is the small Western District city of Colac. The area was originally settled by Europeans in 1837 by pastoralist Hugh Murray. A small community sprung up on the southern shore of a large lake amid the volcanic plains. The community was proclaimed a town, Lake Colac, in 1848, named after the lake upon which it perches. The post office opened in 1848 as Lake Colac and was renamed Colac in 1854 when the city changed its name. The township grew over the years, its wealth generated by the booming grazing industries of the large estates of the Western District and the dairy industry that accompanied it. Colac has a long high street shopping precinct, several churches, botanic gardens, a Masonic hall and a smattering of large properties within its boundaries, showing the conspicuous wealth of the city. Today Colac is still a commercial centre for the agricultural district that surrounds it with a population of around 10,000 people. Although not strictly a tourist town, Colac has many beautiful surviving historical buildings or interest, tree lined streets. Colac is known as “the Gateway to the Otways” (a reference to the Otway Ranges and surrounding forest area that is located just to the south of the town).
310 Claydon Way is located in one of the finer neighborhoods of Sacramento. Having the advantage of being almost riverside, access to the American River Parkway and bicycle path is just one block from the home, providing lovely walks through incredible natural scenery and wildlife.
Year round, this beautiful neighborhood known as Wilhaggin, shows off its aesthetic pride with floral blossoms and blooms. Unlike other fine neighborhoods in the Sacramento area, Wilhaggin is mostly composed of sprawling single story dwellings. with wide streets, sidewalks and street lights.
The "ambiance" of this kind of neighborhood intention is palpable -- quietude, modest elegance, comfortable curb appeal, an abundance of mature and establish landscaping and shade trees.
Back when these houses were made in the sixties -- before magazine living lifestyle took over and replaced practicality with the discomforts of looking sharp -- strong bones and durability were time-honored architectural concepts. Pleasing oneself was more important than pleasing the neighbors, so the focus of the aesthetic addressed things like "hot summers", "colder winters" and the need for shade and light.
There were many independent builders at that time who became famous for their designs and also for their creative concepts for creating ideal settings for a river-living climate.
Among those that rose to fame, Lewis & Bristow are known for their comfortable living designs that centered around poolside appreciation. Shaped like a "U", 310 Claydon Way has three giant sliders that open up onto a giant back yard patio. The patio has roll-down awnings for late afternoon sun shade but also lends itself to an outside office or enclosed dinner-time eating.
The automated irrigation system has just been completely restored and upgraded. Other changes that have been done recently include brand new carpet, new paint and a remodeled entry way.
The grounds are fully established and mature. There are an abundance of roses and azaleas which bloom seasonally. The redwood trees on the property and surrounding the property in the backyard are invaluable for shade and beauty.
And 310 Claydon Way is loaded with all manner of little details of this nature which make it easy to maintain with a minimal amount of work. A truly beautiful home with over 3100 square feet, 310 Claydon way has been called "Shangri La" and has particularly great appeal to a buyer who loves outdoor living as much as indoor living.
