I hope this is in keeping withe the SoS rules as the bead in the middle has some strange pattern on it which I didn't notice before I looked at it on the PC. The bead is placed in the middle of some other jewellery, I guess it's a pendant. Both in turn are resting on my tablet which shows a picture of my tax folder that has round patterns on it.
If my picture gets to stay here, HSoS to everyone!
I'm bowled over by the beauty of our planet on a constant basis. And I'm horrified just as frequently by the devastation we wreak on it in the pointless pursuit of money.
Anyhow, let's enjoy it while we can. This is Ashridge Estate forest, looking glorious at the weekend in the winter sun.
Terrasson-Lavilledieu
L'octroi de Terrasson
Véritable système de douane locale, l'octroi fut une structure particulièrement importante pour les revenus communaux. Il servait notamment à financer l'entretien des fortifications et les travaux d'utilité publique.
Le terme "octroi" vient du verbe octroyer qui signifie accorder: la ville octroie l'entrée des marchandises en échange d'une taxe. Ces taxes, toujours mal acceptées furent supprimées définitivement à la fin de la seconde guerre mondiale. Ce bureau d'octroi servit par la suite de balance officielle à la commune. Elle permettait aux éleveurs et aux agriculteurs de peser et d'officialiser le poids de leur marchandise avant la vente.
Situé près du vieux pont, le local ainsi que son équipement de pesée ont été remis au goût du jour il y a peu.
The Grant of Terrasson
A true local customs system, the appropriation was a particularly important structure for municipal revenues. It was used in particular to finance the maintenance of fortifications and public utility works.
The term "grant" comes from the verb grant which means to grant: the city grants the entry of goods in exchange for a tax. These taxes, always poorly accepted, were definitively abolished at the end of the Second World War. This granting office subsequently served as the municipality's official balance sheet. It allowed breeders and farmers to weigh and formalize the weight of their merchandise before sale.
Located near the old bridge, the premises and its weighing equipment were recently brought up to date.

Zürich or Zurich is the largest city in Switzerland and the capital of the canton of Zürich. It is located at the northwestern tip of Lake Zürich. The municipality has approximately 400,000 inhabitants, the urban agglomeration 1.315 million, and the Zurich metropolitan area 1.83 million. Zürich is a hub for railways, roads, and air traffic. Zürich is a leading global city and among the world's largest financial centres despite having a relatively low population. The city is home to a large number of financial institutions and banking giants. Most of Switzerland's research and development centres are concentrated in Zürich and the low tax rates attract overseas companies to set up their headquarters there (see Wikipedia)

A carbon tax is an environmental tax on emissions of carbon dioxide. Carbon dioxide is a heat-trapping "greenhouse" gas. The purpose of a carbon tax is to protect the environment by reducing emissions of carbon dioxide, helping to mitigate climate change. Some environmental taxes include other greenhouse gases; the global warming potential is an internationally accepted scale of equivalence for other greenhouse gases in units of tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalent.

Mount Olympus keeps occupied with his glaciers, snow, trails, etc., but, he felt he could do more, so, he got a side job. He now counts cars on Hwy 16 for the government. It's an important function. The government is trying to figure out if they can make more money by removing the gasoline tax and tax drivers per mile driven.
